Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 119 Developing a Girl Group

"Young Master! Huiyuan's first episode is out, and it's getting pretty good ratings."

Lin Yuan took the phone from Xia Yuan and flipped through it with great interest.

The comments section was full of positive reviews.

Oh my, whose little girl is this? She's so cute!

[Huiyuan's restaurant review? That's a really interesting program. Let me see what's going on.]

[This...which company is this? The food is so good! Is it a foreign company?]

It turns out that Kang Hye-won's first episode was filmed at Big Hit.

Since Lin Yuan became the largest shareholder, he has injected capital to rectify some unreasonable aspects.

The cafeteria was the first step.

In the past, entertainment companies only served boiled vegetables and boiled chicken breast, at most adding some fruit and vegetable juice.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately contacted his hotel and arranged for a complete team of chefs to come over.

Because Hong Sheng's hotel has very high star standards, the kitchen is divided into Chinese and Western cuisine, and a whole team of nutritionists is specially equipped to tailor-make meals for the artists.

In addition, the company has many employees, so the meals are quite plentiful.

All ingredients are provided by partners designated by Hong Sheng, and the standard is only one level lower than that of a hotel.

"We'll test the waters with the first phase, and once the data comes out, the team will make minor adjustments based on the results. After that... we'll synchronize with major domestic platforms."

"Yes, young master!"

Xia Yuan respectfully took the phone and then quickly relayed Lin Yuan's instructions in the group chat.

20 minutes later, downstairs at Big Hit.

Upon seeing the approaching car, the security guard immediately jogged forward and opened the back door. "Hello, Mr. Lin!"

"Hello!"

Lin Yuan responded.

He led Xia Yuan into the private elevator and together they went to the office.

As soon as the door closed, Lin Yuan pulled Xia Yuan into his arms.

"what!"

Xia Yuan was startled and cried out without realizing it.

Fortunately, this floor is mostly boardrooms, so it's usually empty.

Xia Yuan blushed, lowered her head, and placed her hands on Lin Yuan's chest, whispering softly, "Young Master, you...you mustn't~"

Her voice was sweet and alluring, and her long legs, encased in stockings, occasionally brushed against Lin Yuan's legs.

Lin Yuan nuzzled his nose against her neck. "Secretary Xia, you smell so good~"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan's body went limp. She took Lin Yuan's hand off her waist and drew circles in his palm.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little confused.

Why does this secretary always like to draw circles in her palm?

Taking advantage of his secretary's dizziness, he asked, "Secretary Xia, do you like my hands?"

Xia Yuan unconsciously let out a soft "ooh," then nodded slightly.

She said, "I...I like the young master's hands, and it would be even better if I could touch them."

!!!

Lin Yuan was stunned!

This secretary can handle things with just one hand? That seems way too easy!

Thinking about it, Lin Yuan tentatively rubbed his secretary's waist.

"Hmm~"

"Young master, I...I need to use the restroom."

Xia Yuan clung tightly to Lin Yuan, her teeth clenched and her body trembling.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel her vibration.

"Okay, this is my lounge. Let me help you in!"

"Hmm, thank you, young master."

.....

An hour later, the door to the lounge was opened.

Lin Yuan tightened his belt with a frustrated expression, then plopped down in a chair, as if he had been hit by something.

Xia Yuan followed, her hands clasped together. Her lipstick had clearly been reapplied, and one button on her shirt was undone.

She slowly walked up to Lin Yuan, then squatted down and looked up at him, carefully saying, "I...I'm so sorry, young master, I...I didn't know I was going to get my period today, I...I really didn't mean to."

Xia Yuan's voice choked up as she spoke, and she sniffled from time to time.

She was afraid! Afraid that the young master would abandon her.

Lin Yuan was preoccupied with other matters and didn't notice his secretary's actions at all.

Suddenly he felt a chill down below, and looked down...

"Rip~"

Holy crap!

Lin Yuan quickly stood up and asked in a somewhat frightened manner, "What...what are you doing? It's still daytime."

He truly hadn't expected that the seemingly pure and lovely Secretary Xia was actually a "pervert." Could it be that she reads novels in her spare time?

For example, "The Witch's Guide to Good Deeds"?

But now is not the time to think about that, because the 'obsessed' secretary has already started crying.

"Waaaaah~ Young Master... Young Master, do you not want me anymore? I....."

Xia Yuan covered her face and squatted on the ground, her voice filled with utter despair.

???

Lin Yuan didn't quite understand.

He just said he was still at the company, why did this girl start crying?

Could it be that she's into office romances?

Although I like it too.

But it's daytime now, so if you really want to... why not go to the lounge?

Lin Yuan reluctantly unzipped his jacket, walked over to Xia Yuan, squatted down, and reached out to comfort her.

Xia Yuan twisted her body to avoid his hand.

Lin Yuan chuckled in exasperation, then pulled her into his arms.

Xia Yuan was crying in despair when she was suddenly lifted into the air.

"what!"

She instinctively covered her skirt, not even having time to wipe away her tears, and exclaimed coquettishly, "Young Master, you scared me to death!"

Lin Yuan gently nuzzled her nose, walked to the sofa, and put her down. "Wait for me a minute, you little crybaby!"

After saying that, he went into the lounge, and soon he had a towel in his hand.

He sat down next to Xia Yuan, his fingers wrapped in a towel, and gently wiped away her tears, his whole demeanor focused and tender.

Xia Yuan stood there motionless, her heart instantly filled with love.

She blinked, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

He subconsciously called out, "Young Master."

"Um?"

Lin Yuan responded, but his hands didn't stop moving.

The air was instantly filled with sparkling hearts. Xia Yuan knew she had fallen for him and could never leave this man for the rest of her life.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft glow on Lin Yuan's profile. Xia Yuan stared at him, a happy smile playing on her lips.

A while later.

"alright."

Lin Yuan's voice brought Xia Yuan back to reality.

He ruffled his secretary's hair and gave her a light flick on the forehead. "Don't even think about anything else. You're my personal secretary; you can't run away even if you want to, understand?!"

"Oh~"

Xia Yuan pouted and muttered something, feeling secretly pleased with herself.

Lin Yuan tossed the towel aside and returned to his chair to prepare for today's work.

The company currently has too few groups, and Bang Si-hyuk is still relying on BTS to raise funds, so there will be no new boy or girl groups in the short term.

While helping Lee Soo-man create a new girl group, Min Hee-jin is also recruiting members, preparing to start building her own girl group after Lee Soo-man's project is finished.

Lin Yuan knew in his heart that it was most likely still a whale.

However, he was not in a hurry. Whale was only the best and strongest in Min Xizhen's hands. If it were someone else, it might not reach that level.

He himself is preparing to move ive over, but the members need to be changed.

Lin Yuan sat in the boss's chair, his fingers tapping absently on the table.

Since we're talking about ive, we can't leave out IZ*ONE.

Among them, Miyawaki Sakura, Jang Won-young, and Ahn Yu-jin are considered the most popular members.

Next came Kang Hye-won, Lee Chae-yeon, and others.

How about... we create a girl group? They're all still young anyway, so let's play the nurturing game.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately perked up.

Summer Garden.

Secretary Xia, who was enveloped in happiness, suddenly snapped to attention and exclaimed, "Yes!"

She quickly ran to Lin Yuan, "Young Master!"

Lin Yuan looked at her and found it inexplicably funny, so he prepared to tease her.

"Secretary Xia, you've recovered so quickly?"

Unexpectedly, the secretary wasn't amused this time; instead, she looked at him as if he were an idiot.

This made Lin Yuan somewhat discouraged.

Never mind, business is more important.

He straightened up and coughed lightly.

"cough!"

"Now that LM has invested in Big Hit for some time, it's time to start training our own trainees."

"I have some ideas here. Write them down, then discuss and summarize them with the team, and give them to me in the next couple of days."

"Yes, young master!"

Xia Yuan immediately got to work.

I took out my voice recorder and turned it on, and at the same time opened my laptop, listening quietly.

Lin Yuan calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled.

"I'm planning to create a 'developmental' girl group, similar to the AK group in Japan. Most of the members will be around 13 years old, and the debut spots will be determined by audience votes. As for the number of members... I'm currently planning 10 to 20. I'm sure some people will drop out later, so I feel this number is just right."

Xia Yuan nodded and noted it down.

"Young Master, what are the requirements for recruiting trainees? Are there any restrictions?"

Lin Yuan thought about it carefully.

"The requirement is, of course, to have a skill. You need to be good-looking, or you need to be able to produce, sing, or dance. You need to have at least one of these basic skills."

He wouldn't bring back a bunch of unattractive, non-vocal 'consumables,' as that would not only lower the audience's expectations but also ruin the reputation of both the company and himself.

Xia Yuan quickly jotted down the notes, adding some of her own interpretations, and then saved them in a folder.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go down and get ready."

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, he turned and left the office.

Lin Yuan awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, thinking to himself that the girl really did seem to have a knack for it.

When she's emotional, she's like a gentle kitten; when she's serious, she's like a fierce and decisive tigress.

"Heh, still a two-faced person!"

He chuckled and made a sarcastic remark, then opened the stock trading platform.

The stock prices of the trillion-dollar unicorn companies he invested in have recently seen slight increases.

Because of his large amount of capital, the returns look quite substantial.

But he wouldn't be foolish enough to sell it. As for making money... maybe he should release two new songs? Or maybe he should follow Park Jin-young's example and piggyback on other people's performances?

Just do it!

Lin Yuan previously released Alice's "I Need You" and Pitbull's "On the Floor".

He carefully searched through the songs he had copied down in the past year and found that none of them seemed quite suitable for him to sing alone.

That's really annoying.

Lin Yuan scratched his hair in frustration.

Nothing in life is more helpless than this.

He has countless great songs, but he can't sing them with that feeling.

I don't know what I was thinking at the time, I only copied songs from choral groups.

Could it be that LuMin influenced him?

Forget it! I'll just take a nap and think about it later!

Anyway, I'm not short of money now. If all else fails, I can go home and ask for more.

.....

At 3 p.m., after signing the last document, Lin Yuan tidied up his desk and prepared to leave.

He pushed open the door and entered Xia Yuan's office.

'Knock knock knock'

"Please come in!"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, he saw his secretary meticulously conducting a video conference.

Helpless, he had no choice but to find a seat and sit down.

10 minute later.

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone, please work on a first draft over the next couple of days, and we'll revise it if anything comes up."

"OK!"

"clear!"

A series of responses came from the computer.

Xia Yuan nodded slightly, said "That's all for now," and then hung up the video call.

"Phew~"

Xia Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, picked up her teacup, and took a big gulp.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan walked behind her and gently massaged Xia Yuan's shoulders with both hands.

"Mmm~ That feels so good!"

Xia Yuan closed her eyes, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing as she leaned back in her chair, enjoying the moment.

.....

JYP Practice Room.

"Alright, that concludes today's classes. Pack up and head home early!"

"Goodbye, teacher."

Huang Lizhi had just finished his classes for the day when he immediately began packing his things.

She glanced at her phone, where a message was displayed.

Oppa: [I'm waiting for you in the parking lot!]

It has been half an hour.

Huang Lizhi slung his backpack over his shoulder, pushed open the door, and ran toward the elevator, not forgetting to say "I'll be there soon!" on the way!

Since Lin Yuan came to JYP and taught those bullies a lesson, that kind of situation has never happened in the practice room again.

Not only do teachers patrol the area daily, but they also conduct unscheduled inspections of restrooms, hallways, practice rooms, rooftop balconies, and other locations.

They would also occasionally ask people privately about it. Once such a thing happens, the company will report it to the police as soon as possible after investigating the situation, and at the same time contact their guardians to dismiss them.

In serious cases, the case will be directly transferred to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution without any leniency.

As the person at the center of the incident, Hwang Yee-ji was naturally remembered by everyone and listed as someone who should not be provoked.

Even Shin Yoo-na, Shin Ryu-jin, and the others who played with them were not dared to be provoked.

"bite"

The elevator stopped on the first floor.

Huang Lizhi rushed to the gate, looked around, and then ran straight across the street.

'Knock knock knock'

Lin Yuan was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of knocking on the car window.

Upon seeing the person, he immediately got out of the car, took Huang Lizhi's backpack, and opened the car door for her.

"How are you? Are you tired today?"

Huang Lizhi got into the car and shook his head. "It's alright, just a little hungry."

Lin Yuan placed the backpack on the back seat, tapped Huang Lizhi's forehead, and said affectionately, "Little glutton, what do you want to eat? Oppa will take you."

Hwang Ye-ji thought for a moment, "I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs that Oppa makes. The ones that Unnie makes aren't as good as the ones Oppa makes."

"Okay, let's go!"
