Chapter 7: Digging and Digging in the Ground Due to the limited market size of the peninsula, every comeback of an idol group is crucial. Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing. Once Girls' Generation wins the championship, the existing balance will be destroyed, and the living space of girl groups such as KARA will inevitably be squeezed out, making it difficult for them to reach the top again. "Speaking of boy groups, there are rumors in the industry that Lee Soo Man's new group will debut next year. In order to compete for the right to speak within SM, Lee Soo Man will definitely do his best and hope to make this new group a hit." After talking about the ending of the girl group, Jin Shiming went on to analyze the boy group. Li Haoyan knows his old rival Lee Soo-man very well. If Lee Soo Man creates another group to succeed TVXQ and Super Junior, the current situation of the three groups, Red, Green and Blue, will no longer exist. Can SS501 still take on the three alone? "External shocks are secondary. If the company can work together to stabilize the situation and get through the most difficult period, there is a chance for recovery." Jin Shiming said this and did not continue. He believed that Li Haoyan must have understood what he meant, and now the problem inside DSP was the most fatal! After Li Haoyan was hospitalized due to illness last year, the company's director Ji Zhonghua failed to seize power and defected with a number of key members, which really dealt a heavy blow to DSP. It just so happens that the wife and daughter of Li Haoyan, who has risen to power, are incompetent at everything but are good at making trouble, and they are stepping on the accelerator on the road to DSP's defeat.

One word: send! "Shiming, it would be great if you were my offspring!" Li Haoyan looked at Jin Shiming with admiration and regret, and said, "If my wife and daughter were half as capable as you, I could go with peace of mind!" Over the years, Li Haoyan has witnessed Jin Shiming's growth, and his gradual improvement into the all-rounder he is today. However, Li Haoyan did not expect that Jin Shiming was actually hiding his true abilities. It was not until today that Jin Shiming showed for the first time the ambitions in his mind and the world in his heart. "Forget it! Forget it! You are the young talent that I have my eyes on after all. If you can make a career after you leave, I will have made the right choice!" Li Haoyan sighed lightly, and said in a relieved mood, "I will say hello to the company. If you are willing to follow you, you can take them with you." Li Haoyan figured it out. Since his wife and daughter could not change the fate of DSP's decline, he might as well place his hopes on Jin Shiming! Now the morale within DSP is low, and there is no need to lock up those employees who cannot be retained in the company, which would lead to a situation where both sides are in trouble. So he simply helps Jin Shiming and does him a favor. Based on Li Haoyan's understanding of Jin Shiming, if he becomes successful in the future, he will definitely not hesitate to lend a hand to DSP within his ability. To take a step back, even if DSP really collapsed, Jin Shiming and his group of people who left DSP could at least be considered the remaining spark of fire. "President Nim, I will definitely work hard to prove that your decision to bring me into DSP and today were both correct!" Jin Shiming stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Haoyan. "Then you have to do it as soon as possible. I don't think my body can wait for many more years!" Li Haoyan laughed out loud, and even his complexion seemed to have improved a lot. …… When I walked out of the ward, Taichi Suzuki, who was waiting outside the door, came to greet me. "How did the talks go? Was it going well?" asked Taichi Suzuki. "President Li is worthy of being a legend in the industry. Before I even had the chance to mention it, he guessed what I was thinking and took the initiative to help me." Jin Shiming looked back at the ward and felt that he was still too young. If you have the opportunity to deal with old foxes like Lee Soo-man, Park Jin-young, and Yang Hyun-suk in the future, you must be more cautious. "Where are we going next?" Taichi Suzuki asked again. "Go to DSP company and poach people!" Jin Shiming replied. Li Haoyan nodded in agreement, so there was no need for him to be polite and he could just start digging. Of course, Jin Shiming was not a person without sense of propriety. He mostly selected young employees who had excellent abilities but could not be promoted due to lack of qualifications.

Young people have ideas and drive, and are more suitable to serve as the cornerstone of a new company. Returning to the familiar DSP company building, Jin Shiming immediately felt nostalgic. When he was a trainee, he had to take the bus to the company after school every day, practice in the practice room until a few minutes before the last bus left, and then run all the way to the bus stop. After switching to the production position, he often locked himself in the recording studio, forgetting to eat and sleep just to write the melody he wanted. He still remembers every floor tile and even every stain on the wall of DSP. "I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn't feel like the days of my youth!" Jin Shiming felt a little sad as he was about to say goodbye to this place where he had so many memories. Before he knew it, Jin Shiming walked to the dance practice room on the trainee floor. Through the door, Jin Shiming could hear pop dance style music coming from inside. This melody is so familiar that my ears are callused. It is Girls' Generation's debut song "The World We Meet Again". When being a trainee at The Peninsula, boys had to learn TVXQ's "Spell", while girls couldn't avoid "Meeting Again". It is no exaggeration to say that these two songs have become compulsory tracks for measuring the basic skills of trainees. "Tsk! It has to be SM. They have the ability and they know marketing. They have subtly raised the company's status!" Jin Shiming muttered to himself. Click~~~ Just as Jin Shiming was complaining about SM in his heart, the music in the practice room stopped and the door was opened from the inside. "Oh my!" The trainee who came out of the practice room had no idea that there was someone standing at the door. He screamed in fright and took a step back. However, her legs were extremely long, causing her center of gravity to be unstable. At this moment, her left foot tripped over her right foot and she fell backwards. Fortunately, Jin Shiming reacted quickly, grabbed the other person's arm, and pulled her into his arms to avoid injury. "Are you okay? Mo, it's Shao Qing!" Jin Shiming then saw clearly that the person who was scared by him and almost fell down was actually an acquaintance. "Senior-nim, this is Anihasa!" Jin Shaoqing patted his chest, calmed down a little, and bowed immediately. "Ah! We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. You feel alienated now, right?" Jin Shiming pretended to be angry and said, "Or is it that Shaoqingxi will debut soon, and you look down on the oppa you practiced with in the past?" "Ani! How could I look down on Oppa!" Jin Shaoqing was so anxious that he kept waving his hands and even forgot to add honorifics. "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. If others see it, they will think I'm bullying you!" Seeing that the other party's face turned red with anxiety, Jin Shiming quickly spoke to comfort him. "Oppa! You obviously know I'm not that kind of person, why do you say that!" Jin Shaoqing pouted, feeling aggrieved like a little wife. "It's all your fault. You acted so awkwardly right from the start. I thought you had something against me!" Jin Shiming spread his hands. "It's because there's someone next to us. What if rumors spread that I was rude to my seniors? Will I still have a chance to debut?" Jin Shaoqing whispered in Jin Shiming's ear, and secretly signaled to Suzuki Taichi who was not far away with his eyes. Jin Shiming understood that Jin Shaoqing had mistaken Suzuki Taichi as an employee of the company. (End of this chapter)
