Chapter Twenty-Four Plans and Chance Encounters

  "How is it, do you think you can debut now? I heard your dance skills are amazing! Even Yunho, who's known as the new dance king in the Korean entertainment industry, was beaten by you pretty badly." Li Xiuman asked, looking at the young boss in front of him.

  "It's okay, I think I can still beat Yoon Ho hyung in dancing" Chen Xuan said humbly.

  "You think you're just slightly better than Yoonhwa? Don't assume I don't know anything, I've heard that even the top three dancers in the company right now - Yunho, Xiah and Hankyul combined aren't a match for you. And yet you say you're only slightly better than Yunho? Humility is good but there's a limit to it."

  "Hehe, isn't this trying to be low-key? Besides, I wasn't really Ahn Yo's opponent before anyway." Chen Shao said calmly as he looked at the excited Lee Soo-man.

  "Alright, let's not drag this on; let's talk about the important stuff. What do you think of your current abilities? Are they enough to debut? Let's not mention dancing for now, but what about your singing skills? Have you reached a certain level? And I also heard some rumors that you gave Li Hyori a song as her title track, you little brat! You have songs but don't prioritize giving them to our company's artists, instead you give it to your rival? This is truly disappointing." Ever since finding out that Chen Shuo gave a song to Li Hyori as her title track, Lee Soo Man has been holding a grudge against him.

  "It's not that I won't give the song to other artists in the company, but this song can only be sung by Hyori unnie in the whole of Korea, giving it to others would be a waste; so the songs I write are not about being biased towards certain people"

  "So, if you have time recently, try to help Dong Bang Shin Ki and SJ write a song. It's been half a year since Dong Bang Shin Ki released a new song, so they need to hurry up and produce an album for their comeback; as for SJ, they just debuted and their popularity hasn't stabilized yet, so they also need to release a mini-album to solidify their fanbase. So, see if you can help with these two things." Lee Soo Man also hopes that Chen Shuo can really write songs for them, and he's telling him these things just to show how much the company values these two groups right now.

  Writing songs is not impossible, I can come up with a hit song for the two of them in just two days; but are you guys starting to collect songs for them now? If not, then you can order people to start collecting songs now, and after collecting good songs, start producing SJ's album. During the time SJ is recording, I think the entire music industry will be dominated by Lee Hyori, who dares to release a song in the next three months, that would really be asking for death; it's not me bragging, don't doubt me, if you don't believe me, we can wait and see. Because I have confidence that the song I wrote for Lee Hyori will shake up the Korean music industry for a while, after this period is over, SJ's album will be released, followed by TVXQ; in this way, before I even debut, I will already be popular because of these few songs; and when I do debut, it will also be beneficial to me. Chen Shao said out loud his plan in mind

  Li Xiu Man didn't suspect what Chen Shao said, and instead believed him; "Alright, let's do it your way. I'll get people to start collecting songs right away. After SJ and Dong Bang Shin Ki finish their comeback activities, you can debut. This way, our S.M will dominate the Korean music scene for almost a year."

  "A year? I think it's not just that?" Chen Shao muttered to himself, because he had already thought of an opponent, this opponent was very worthy of his respect; if according to the true strength, Chen Shao would definitely lose miserably, but now Chen Shao was not afraid, because he had a cheat, so fighting with this opponent was not impossible, and even winning was not certain; moreover, they were about to debut soon, most importantly, it seemed that he only started to explode in 07, there was still time. "So next, do I need to do something ahead of time for my debut? Just relying on writing a few songs for others doesn't seem enough?"

  Lee Soo-man looked at the figure standing in front of the window, gazing out at the scenery; suddenly he discovered that from his shadow, he could see the aura of someone who would conquer the Korean entertainment industry in the future; even Lee Soo-man, with his vast experience, couldn't help but admit that he was getting old.

  "Chen Shao, if you don't have anything else to do recently, go learn from Yu Yongzhen teacher; he is our company's chief producer. Don't make excuses saying your skills are not enough and need more practice. Even if you want to debut now, I won't stop you. With just your dance skills alone, you can already debut, and your singing isn't bad either, it's even very good. Someone who can easily hit notes higher than a dolphin's voice has no reason to have poor singing skills." Li Xiuman didn't know what Chen Shao was thinking, with his current abilities he should have debuted long ago, but he just doesn't know what he's thinking.

  "Uh-huh, got it; I'll go when I have time; by the way, in two days I'll bring a variety show plan to you, and you can pitch it to MBC." Chen Shao didn't refuse either.

  "Variety show planning? You can still do these?" Li Xiufull was also a bit surprised to hear Chen Shao's words; "Are you sure? Variety show planning is not that easy"

  "This entertainment plan is just my trial balloon; if it's successful, there will be better plans in the future; and I also believe that this plan won't disappoint me." Chen Shao didn't know how to explain it either, did he want him to tell Li Xiuman that this was something he had plagiarized?

  "Okay, I'll hand it over to MBC later, but whose name should be filled in on the proposal form? Yours?"

  "Of course, this is just the beginning of my conquest of the Korean entertainment industry!" Chen Shao said with a smirk. "That's all for now, I've been here for so long and you haven't even given me a glass of water to drink, how stingy can you be? No wonder H.O.T's senior members left." Chen Shao didn't forget to take a parting shot at Lee Soo-man as he walked away.

  When he heard this, Li Xiufull's face was full of black lines. "You stinky brat, isn't tea just water? It's really a waste of my good tea leaves, and in the end, you still dare to say something like that!"

  Chen Shao walked out of Li Xiuman's office and didn't go to the practice room to find Xiaoxian and the others; instead, she directly left the company, planning to wander around by herself.

  As I walked and walked, I arrived at Lujiazui Road in Pudong; this is a bustling and fashionable street.

  Looking at the bustling street, Chen Shao's mood also relaxed. Since returning to Korea for so long, he hadn't gone out on his own; The other day was with Xiao Xian and didn't count; He now wants to go out by himself, personally experience the feeling of strolling around since his rebirth.

  As he walked, he looked around and found that most of the shops here were selling women's brand-name goods and cafes, as well as some foreign restaurants. Chen Shao's father had a restaurant nearby, but he had never been there before, so he decided to take a look this time and pulled out his phone to call his dad.

  "Dad, isn't our Chinese restaurant on Larkspur Lane Roadio Street? I'm over here now and want to go take a look. Tell me the direction or the name of the restaurant so I can find it myself."

  "You little brat, don't you even know where your own family's dining room is?"

  "I didn't go before? When I was little you wouldn't let me come over, and after going abroad and coming back I forgot"

  "Hey you little brat, wait till I deal with you later. Alright, I'm busy now, just find a restaurant called 'Huang Huang Restaurant'."

  "Oh, I see. Are you alone there now? Didn't your sister go over to help?"

  "Your sister is here? She's been here for the past two days, you'll see her when you come over,"

  "I'll take a look around, if I still can't find it then I'll give older sister a call to ask, you go ahead and busy yourself"

  Chen Shao had wanted his father to close the store and enjoy a quiet life at home on that trip back, but he was unwilling, saying it would be a pity to close it after all these years, and business was good anyway; as for his sister Chen Ning, she is currently in training, so if she has time, she will also go to her father's store to help out, anyway it's not far from the S*M company.

  Just hung up Dad's phone, Xiaoxian's phone came again;

  "Hello, is that Xiao Xian?"

  "It's me, oppa; where are you now? I just went to your practice room and didn't see you"

  "Oh, I'm planning to go to my dad's restaurant now, but I don't know how to get there, still looking."

  "Hehe, oppa hasn't been to uncle's store?"

  "Nope, I was planning to go take a look since I have time this time. Just called my dad and got scolded; only found out after asking that it's called "Splendid Restaurant" and I'm looking for it now?"

  "Hehe, who didn't go to Uncle's store to help? Now you know your mistake, I used to help out with Yong'er sister too"

  "Alas, I'm busy, aren't I? So now I was just about to go and ask for trouble."

  "Then you find it yourself, wait for me later and I'll meet you there. I've been waiting to eat Uncle's cooking for a long time, I really miss it."

  "Okay, then you come over directly later, if Yuaner wants to come over too, then come together."

  "Well then, oppa will take his leave for now, bye"

  "Bye-bye"

  Chen Shao hung up the phone and continued to look for it; but after more than ten minutes, he still couldn't find it. Just as he was about to call his sister Chen Ning to ask about the situation, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him, who seemed to have had some kind of dispute.

  Chen Shao still trusted his own eyes and immediately went forward to see what had happened.

  Looking up, Chen Shao saw the person clearly and thought to himself, "It can't be this coincidental, running into her like this. Is this what they mean by fate?" Indeed, he knew this person, a girl; although they had only met once, Chen Shao's memory was excellent, and he never forgot anyone he had interacted with. Moreover, this little girl had left a deep impression on him.
