51: Chapter 52 Korean Special Production

In the meeting room.

The emotions of the six people had not yet settled.

Ham Eun-jung wiped away her tears.

"Mr. Qian, a 3 billion budget."

"In terms of production, do you have any ideas?"

Qian Xu looked at Kim Min-jun.

"Representative Kim, you tell us."

Kim Min-jun turned on the projector.

A photo appeared on the screen.

A man wearing glasses.

In his thirties.

Wearing a black T-shirt.

He looked very ordinary.

"Shinsadong Tiger."

"His real name is Lee Ho-seok."

"A top Korean producer."

"He wrote 'Roly-Poly', 'Lovey-Dovey', and 'Bo Peep Bo Peep'."

"They are all T-ARA's hit songs."

Ham Eun-jung was stunned.

"Tiger Oppa?"

"Yes."

Kim Min-jun nodded.

"I have contacted him."

"He heard that T-ARA is planning a comeback."

"He is very willing to collaborate."

Park So-yeon's eyes lit up.

"Songs written by Tiger Oppa."

"We are the most familiar with them."

"His style."

"Suits us the best."

Qian Xu looked at the screen.

"Then contact him."

"Set up a time to meet."

Kim Min-jun nodded.

"Okay."

"I will arrange it right away."

In the meeting room.

The six of them all became excited.

Park Ji-yeon was the first to jump up.

"Tiger Oppa!"

"It's been so long since I've seen him!"

"Our last collaboration was back in 2017!"

Jeon Bo-ram also smiled.

"The songs he writes."

"We sing them the smoothest."

"We don't need much time to get in sync."

Ham Eun-jung nodded.

"Right."

"Tiger Oppa understands us."

"He knows our vocal ranges."

"He knows our style."

"He is the most suitable choice."

Qian Xu looked at them.

"Then it's settled."

"Representative Kim, arrange the meeting as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Kim Min-jun took out his phone.

He walked out of the meeting room to make the call.

A few minutes later.

Kim Min-jun returned.

"Mr. Qian, it's all set."

"Tomorrow afternoon at three."

"At Shinsadong Tiger's studio."

"Over in Apgujeong."

Qian Xu nodded.

"Good."

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Ms. Eun-jung and Ms. Soyeon will come with me."

Ham Eun-jung was taken aback for a moment.

"So-yeon and me?"

"Yes."

Qian Xu looked at her.

"You are the leader."

"So-yeon is the main vocalist."

"You understand music the best."

"You have the most say."

Ham Eun-jung nodded.

"Okay."

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"I will prepare."

Park So-yeon also nodded.

"Mr. Qian, may I make a suggestion?"

"Go ahead."

Park So-yeon stood up.

"When Tiger Oppa writes songs."

"He needs the main vocalist to coordinate."

"I would like to."

"I want to serve as the lead vocal supervisor."

The meeting room went quiet.

Everyone looked at her.

"Lead vocal supervisor?"

Qian Xu asked.

"Yes."

Park So-yeon nodded.

"I have studied vocal coaching."

"Back during my trainee days."

"I helped juniors with vocal tuning."

"T-ARA's songs."

"I am the most familiar with them."

"I can help Tiger Oppa."

"Adjust recording details."

"To ensure every song."

"Achieves the best effect."

Ham Eun-jung looked at her.

"So-yeon, can you do it?"

"I can."

Park So-yeon's eyes were firm.

"I have been practicing all along."

"Warming up my voice every day."

"Practicing my breath control every day."

"My condition."

"Is better than ever."

Qian Xu looked at her.

This gentle woman.

At this moment, in her eyes.

There was nothing but professionalism and dedication.

"Okay."

He nodded.

"Lead vocal supervisor."

"It's yours."

Park So-yeon was stunned for a moment.

"Really?"

"Really."

Qian Xu smiled.

"I believe in you."

Park So-yeon's eyes turned red.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian."

"I will definitely do a good job."

Park Ji-yeon clapped from the side.

"So-yeon Unnie is so cool!"

"Lead vocal supervisor!"

"From now on, I'll call you PD Park So-yeon!"

Jeon Bo-ram also smiled.

"When So-yeon gets serious."

"She is really professional."

Lee Qri nodded.

"She taught me vocalization before."

"She is very patient."

"She explains things very clearly."

Park Hyomin also smiled.

"With So-yeon here."

"We don't need to worry about recording."

The meeting room livened up.

Kim Min-jun clapped his hands.

"Alright, alright."

"Tomorrow afternoon at three."

"Shinsadong Tiger's studio."

"Ms. Eun-jung and Ms. Soyeon."

"Go with Mr. Qian."

"The rest of you."

"Continue practicing the dance."

"The MV starts filming next week."

"Everyone, do your best."

"Okay!"

The six of them answered in unison.

After the meeting adjourned.

Qian Xu walked out of the meeting room.

Park So-yeon followed him out.

"Mr. Qian."

Qian Xu turned around.

"What's wrong?"

Park So-yeon walked up to him.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for your trust."

"I will definitely not let you down."

Qian Xu looked at her.

Her eyes were very serious.

Very firm.

"I believe in you."

"Ms. Soyeon."

"You deserve it."

Park So-yeon smiled.

Her eyes were a bit red.

"Then I'll go prepare."

"See you tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay."

Qian Xu nodded.

"See you tomorrow."

Park So-yeon turned and left.

Qian Xu stood in place.

Watching her back.

Her gait was steady.

Her shoulders were straight.

It was like she was a different person.

No longer that woman.

Who had cried in the cafe.

But a professional.

Confident.

Lead vocal supervisor.

He smiled.

His phone vibrated.

It was a system notification.

[Korea's favorability towards China: 27.6%]

It went up by another 0.1%.

He put away his phone.

And went downstairs.

First-floor lobby.

The sunlight was just right.

Li Xue was organizing documents at the front desk.

"President Qian, are you going out?"

"No."

Qian Xu walked to the window.

"I'm just staying at the company."

Li Xue smiled.

"President Qian, are you in a good mood today?"

"Not bad."

Qian Xu looked at the plane trees outside the window.

"I'm going to meet Shinsadong Tiger tomorrow."

"T-ARA's comeback."

"Has officially started."

Li Xue's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"That's great!"

"T-ARA is finally making a comeback!"

Qian Xu turned to look at her.

"You know T-ARA too?"

"Of course I do!"

Li Xue smiled.

"I am an international student from China."

"But I also follow K-pop groups."

"T-ARA's songs."

"I've heard them all."

"'Roly-Poly'."

"'Lovey-Dovey'."

"'Bo Peep Bo Peep'."

"I can sing them all!"

Qian Xu smiled.

"Then when I meet the producer tomorrow."

"You cheer them on."

"Definitely!"

Li Xue nodded vigorously.

In the afternoon.

Qian Xu stayed in his office.

And processed some documents.

CU sent over the sales data.

20 stores.

Today's sales reached 82 million won.

It increased again from yesterday.

He smiled.

His phone vibrated again.

It was a message from Kim Min-jun.

"Mr. Qian, Shinsadong Tiger has confirmed."

"Tomorrow afternoon at three."

"His studio is on Apgujeong Road."

"I'll send you the address."

Qian Xu replied.

"Okay."

"See you tomorrow."

In the evening.

Qian Xu returned home.

Standing on the balcony.

Looking at the night view of Seoul.

The lights of Cheongdam-dong.

The office buildings in Gangnam District.

The Han River shimmered in the distance.

He recalled the scene in the meeting room today.

Park So-yeon's eyes.

"Lead vocal supervisor."

"Leave it to me."

When she spoke.

Her tone was very calm.

But her eyes were very firm.

That was the look of someone.

Who had waited for six years.

Finally getting an opportunity.

He smiled.

His phone vibrated.

It was a message from Park So-yeon.

"Mr. Qian, good night."

"See you tomorrow."

Qian Xu replied.

"Good night."

"See you tomorrow."

He put away his phone.

Looking at the night sky.

Tomorrow.

Will be a new day.
