I Became a Producer Who Rewrites Idols

66 – Valentine’s Day (1)

Two weeks have passed since I left Lucky Seven Entertainment and became Vice President of GI Production.

They said it was busy when it just opened, but there was really no time to even bat an eye.

The good news is that instead of heading to the ground, Lucky Seven Entertainment provided capital support.

To be exact, it was a grandchild company of Lucky Seven Entertainment, established through reinvestment by an unlisted subsidiary of Lucky Seven Entertainment.

Because Lucky Seven Entertainment is listed, this is a method chosen to hide the fact that it is connected to GI Production.

“Please go to the bathroom for a moment.”

“Yes.”

… Secretary Jeong Song-i brought a desk to the vice president’s office and created her own place.

Aren’t secretaries usually located outside the office in the secretary’s office?

When watching dramas, you have to call through the extension phone to get inside.

When I entered the men’s restroom next to the elevator, Manager Ko Kang-tae, or rather the president, was there.

There were only two urinals, so I had to do my business side by side with them.

President Go Kang-tae glanced at me and said.

“Is it worth it?”

He came out of Lucky Seven Enter and seemed to ask if I was okay.

“Yes, it’s okay.”

The groupware was almost exactly the same as what was used at Lucky Seven Entertainment, so there was almost nothing that had to be learned completely new.

If I were to be honest, my job as vice president was a bit new, but that would be the same whether it was Lucky Seven or GI Production.

Now it was time to start working on a new project in earnest.

Although it was a subcontractor, it seemed possible for me to suggest to the client how about an idol like this.

Lucky Seven Entertainment will soon complete the acquisition of Jeil Entertainment, so let’s put the new project into Jeil Entertainment.

Jeil Entertainment, like GI Production, seemed intent on hiding from the public the fact that it had been acquired by Lucky Seven Entertainment as much as possible.

I heard that on the surface, it would depict a situation where two entertainment agencies were fighting each other like crazy.

… But it turns out that both companies have the same owner.

It was the owner’s plan to take advantage of the reality that the public views monopolies unfavorably, but tolerates oligopolies to some extent.

“Indeed, Executive Director Yeom Chang-ho has become the CEO of Jeil Entertainment.”

“Yes? Is it so? “So, was CEO Dae-yeop Han fired?”

“Of course. Even if that person wasn’t part of Lucky Seven, he would have been fired. “Right now, all the celebrities and employees of Jeil Entertainment are blowing the whistle.”

Along with Lucky Seven Entertainment, it was considered one of Korea’s representative idol entertainment agencies, but it fell into disrepair in an instant.

And the owner of Lucky Seven Entertainment will pick up the assets that Jeil Entertainment has built up so far.

… [Music Grand Prix] The owner who wanted to put me in Jeil Entertainment, who achieved the result of monopolizing, made me independent.

“If you look closely, our CEO is the scariest.”

“Ah, do you understand now? Since he is from a local government, he is also connected to the political world. So, it is for your benefit to be careful in front of him.”

“I will listen carefully….”

This was my first time knowing that he was connected to the political world.

… It was a connection that could not be compared to that of CEO Han Dae-yeop’s gangster.

Gangsterism is illegal anyway, but political circles can be legally destroyed if caught.

I washed my hands thoroughly, came out of the bathroom, and returned to the vice president’s office.

Secretary Jeong Song-i, who had been sitting in her seat until now, was nowhere to be seen.

Well, she probably went to the bathroom for a moment too.

Without thinking, she put her butt on the chair.

She then dragged her chair inside her desk,

Malkan.

She felt a strange sensation on her leg.

When she lowered her head,

Secretary Jeong Song-i was kneeling under my desk, smiling brightly.

“… “Is it Song?”

“Yes.”

“What are you doing… ?”

“I happened to see it on the Internet yesterday, and there was a secretary working hard under the desk, right?”

What strange thing did I see?

“Go back to your seat, that’s an order.”

Honestly, it’s not that I’m not interested in such situations, but if I do it just because I want to, it’s an animal.

As a human being, I have to exercise restraint.

And more than anything, I had no intention of going further than this with secretary Jeong Song-i.

They say once is difficult, but twice is easier.

… If she gets caught by another idol, she won’t know how to appease her jealousy.

“If I disobey, will you give me a harsh punishment?”

“There is no such thing.”

Secretary Jeong Song-i stood up from under my desk, looking a bit upset.

I thought she was going to go straight to her desk, but she suddenly thrust something in front of me.

“Producer, you forgot that today is Valentine’s Day, right?”

“Huh? Ah, today is Valentine’s Day. Thank you.”

“Still, I’m glad I’m working hard.”

It was an expensive brand chocolate sold in department stores.

“I wanted to make it myself, but due to the timing, I just couldn’t find the time.”

“No, thank you. “They take pre-orders here around Valentine’s Day.”

“I see.”

… After Valentine’s Day, I ate here a few times to comfort myself.

It was the first Valentine’s chocolate she received from a woman in her life.

In the sense that it is not just chocolate given out by coworkers or classmates, but chocolate that is truly just for you.

“Should I eat now?”

“You can do that, but would you like to share it later? “If you think about other people.”

“Anyone else?”

“Producer, other women. Could it be that I was the only one who prepared?”

“… ….”

When my expression was about to harden,

Knock knock.

“Producer!”

I heard a familiar, lively voice.

Secretary Jeong Song-i opened the glass door of the vice president’s office with a look on her face that said, ‘Look.’

Cursed Dolls members—Gong Si-on, Kang Eva, and Choi Ju-yoon came in one after another.

“Oh, you already got one.”

Gong Si-on said this and slowly turned her head towards secretary Jeong Song-i.

I could see Gong Shi-on’s expression in my field of vision, but to put it in a somewhat archaic way,

It was rotten.

On the other hand, secretary Jeong Song-i just smiled and said nothing.

In fact, it was even relaxing.

Since going from manager to secretary, her public personality seemed to have changed a bit.

“Mr. Shion, what chocolate have you prepared?”

“… Of course I made it myself.”

“If you make it yourself, it won’t taste as good as what you buy on the market unless you make it really well.”

“I’ve tried everything sold on the market, but the one I made myself was the best.”

“Sion, your tastes aren’t 100% the same as the producer, right?”

… Is not it?

The fight between the two continued.

I guess it’s just that Secretary Jeong Song-i’s character is a bit out of character because I get embarrassed when he openly throws insults and fights with idols.

“All three of us made it together!”

Secretary Jeong Song-i’s case had a slightly modern feel with its square packaging.

Gongsion was placed in a heart-shaped box that looked like it came out of a cartoon.

“For your information, it’s not just about melting solid chocolate and then hardening it again!”

“Oh, really?”

Isn’t that how most people make their own Valentine’s chocolate?

“I bought cacao nibs and ground them! This is real handmade chocolate. Just grinding cacao nibs isn’t enough. “I’ve been looking for a mixture of sugar and various additives for months!”

“Well, I see. Thank you, Shion, Jooyun, and Eva.”

Just by listening, I could tell that it wasn’t the usual effort put into it.

Planning Valentine’s Day chocolate months in advance….

[Name: Eva Kang]

[Current thought: I really spent a lot of money to buy the machine. I thought it would be done every year anyway, so I just invested.]

I thought this was what it felt like to feel burdened if you were too sincere.

First, we carefully opened the heart-shaped package and took a bite of the chocolate that was said to have been made from scratch.

“Wow, it’s really delicious…” .”

The words just popped out unconsciously.

Of all the chocolates I have ever tasted, this was the one that suited my taste the best.

Not too sweet, but not too bitter either.

And, perhaps because it was made from cacao nibs, it even felt fresh from the chocolate.

Gong Si-on, Choi Ju-yoon, and Kang Eva were happy to hear my reaction, giving each other high fives.

There was a reason why I was there.

… I thought that if I didn’t think about the cost, I could just commercialize it and sell it.

“Ah, it’s already so late.”

After chatting with the Cursed Dolls members for about 15 minutes, Gong Si-on looked at his smartphone clock and said.

It was a very disappointing response.

After listening to the story, I heard that Lucky Seven Entertainment gave up their time to the newly assigned manager.

“I have to meet with you guys regularly to consult with Lucky Seven, so I’ll ask you to take time off your schedule.”

“Really?! Oh yea!”

Because the status window only appears when you look at it in person, it was necessary to meet once a week to check fatigue and abilities.

Rather than asking the manager to come to you every now and then, it would be better to just allocate a separate schedule.

“Producer, see you again! Oh right, congratulations on your promotion!”

“Thank you. “You, too, be careful.”

“Yes!”

Cursed Dolls members left the vice president’s office.

Anyway, it’s 11:45 now, so should we go for lunch a little early?

While I was thinking about that,

Knock knock.

Someone knocked.

“I need to have chocolate for lunch today.”

“… ….”

Secretary Jeong Song-i said as she opened the glass door.

Just as she said, this time it was Berries members.

“I like chocolate—. Ah, you already received it.”

Jin Hae-sol was about to ask me, but changed her words when she saw the box of chocolates given to her by Jeong Song-i’s secretary and Cursed Dolls members.

Yang Hae-in looked a bit disappointed, but soon returned to a smile.

“We thought about making it ourselves, but honestly, we weren’t confident! “It’s famous here, so it’ll be delicious!”

Yang Hae-in appeared as the representative, and she held out chocolate in front of me with both hands. She said

Thank you and she received.

… But when I looked at the brand, it was the same brand that secretary Jeong Song-i bought.

It doesn’t really matter to me, but Jeong Song-i’s secretary and Berryz members will all feel bad about the fact that they overlapped.

While talking with the Berryz members, I secretly put the chocolate that Jeong Song-i’s secretary gave me into the drawer.

I didn’t know that they would come to me one after another offering to give me chocolate without even having time to put it in the drawer….

“Hey, hey, producer!”

Yang Hae-in shouted, wiggling her fingers.

“What’s wrong?”

“We have a holiday today… !”

“Yes.”

“Actually, I want to become the producer’s secretary in the future.”

“… Huh?”

Since Berries debuted last year, there are now approximately 5 years left on their contract.

Obviously, deciding on a career path after the contract ends was an important factor for idols.

[Idol Producing] This was something that didn’t appear in the game at all….

“Now that you’re vice president, if you think about it, there’s no way you can only have one secretary, right?”

“No, that’s right, but it hasn’t been long since this company was established….”

“Ho, perhaps you don’t feel like helping me out as a secretary…?” ?”

As I look at you with anxious eyes, my heart becomes weak again.

Still, I have to refuse it as euphemistically as possible.

In fact, if the Berrys group does not expire after 5 years, the contract can be renewed and continued further.

“It’s not that I doubt Haein’s abilities, but I thought it might be difficult because secretaries and idols are very different. “You must follow my words unconditionally.”

“I have the confidence to follow the producer’s instructions!”

“Yeah, I see.”

“I know that there is a lack of office work. So, starting this year, every time I have a holiday, wouldn’t it be possible to learn a little bit from manager Jeong Song-i, or rather, secretary…? ?”

Secretary Jeong Song-i glared at me.

It seemed like he was afraid of losing his position to idols again.

That’s why you can’t refuse unconditionally just because you can’t get away with it.

“Song, try teaching me hard. “Is Haein really suitable?”

“…… Yes.”

“Thank you, producer!”

Well, if Yang Hae-in really seems to work well as a secretary, there is nothing bad in terms of work.

I’ll have to comfort secretary Jeong Song-i later….
