Chapter 47: Super Super Super S Card!
Calm down! Calm down!
Be composed, be steady, be... what the hell!
This is IU! And she's a wild one, Lee Ji-eun, not signed with any company!!!
Jiang Shu had only focused on girl groups, but he had overlooked this first female solo artist in South Korea, who was impeccable from every angle.
Lee Ji-eun was in the game, but Jiang Shu had been working on girl groups ever since he transmigrated, causing him to forget about this top-tier S card.
Now that she suddenly appeared before him, memories buried deep in his mind instantly surged forth.
Lee Ji-eun (S)
Bonds: Unique Star (1), All-Round Artist (1), Star Producer (1).
Unique Star: Lee Ji-eun's exclusive bond.
Effect: When activated, it completely suppresses female solo singers making a comeback at the same time; when publicly recognized as the first female solo artist, this bond evolves to its full effect, completely suppressing all artists making a comeback at the same time, but significantly increasing the number of anti-fans.
All-Round Artist:
Effect: When activated, she will achieve certain accomplishments in music, visuals, and film, but it's impossible for all three to be top-tier simultaneously; at most, two can be top-tier.
Star Producer:
Effect: When activated, songs participated in production will have a popularity level equivalent to her own, but the probability of her appearing in negative news increases.
A genuine S card, and all her bonds are single-person bonds that can be activated by her alone. These three bonds do not weaken in effect just because they are single-person; on the contrary, each is a powerful bond with extreme operability, especially the Unique Star bond. Even without evolving to its full state, it has an extremely exaggerated attribute, and when fully evolved, it truly becomes a massive force in music.
Other S cards are S-tier because they meet the S-tier standard, but Lee Ji-eun is S-tier because the upper limit of this game is only S-tier!
Jiang Shu never expected that his lazy act of releasing the mini-album tracks for IVE to solicit songs would bring him such a huge opportunity.
He grabbed the phone on the table, and the moment the call connected, Jiang Shu eagerly spoke.
"Transfer me to the data statistics room! Immediately!"
Three or four seconds later, the call was connected to the data statistics room.
"Who is responsible for communicating with the producers who submitted songs?" Jiang Shu asked.
A name was given from the other end of the phone.
"Give me Lee Ji-eun's contact information, the producer who wrote 'Glasses'."
Jiang Shu pulled out an A4 paper and wrote down Lee Ji-eun's number.
There was no contact information on the file, probably because someone was too lazy to input it, after all, typing a string of numbers one by one is quite troublesome.
Jiang Shu also had no time to bother them. After getting Lee Ji-eun's number, Jiang Shu hung up the phone.
He didn't even bother with finding songs for IVE anymore. He picked up Lee Ji-eun's number and dialed.
The phone rang, and the music was melodious, but Jiang Shu didn't pay attention to what the music was singing.
With a beep, the call connected.
"Hello?" A slightly distorted, but still recognizably Lee Ji-eun's voice entered his ears.
"Hello, are you Producer Lee Ji-eun of 'Glasses'?"
"Yes, I am." Lee Ji-eun's tone on the other end lifted.
"That's good." Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "I am Chairman Jiang Shu of DM Entertainment. Your song is well-written. Are you interested in coming to our DM Entertainment? We can discuss it in person."
"Ah?" Lee Ji-eun on the other end of the phone was surprised by Jiang Shu's identity and was momentarily stunned.
Jiang Shu didn't rush her, waiting quietly for several seconds before Lee Ji-eun's voice sounded again from the other end.
"Yes! I can come over right now!" Lee Ji-eun's excited voice came through.
"Okay, just come directly. When you arrive, tell the front desk your name," Jiang Shu said immediately.
"Yes!"
"Alright, that's all for now."
"Goodbye, President nim Jiang!"
"Goodbye."
After Jiang Shu hung up the phone, his tense face completely relaxed, and he grinned, showing his teeth, laughing.
This smile was even happier than when he found Yuan Shen at YG.
Please, this is IU!
Finding an artist of this caliber would make anyone wake up laughing, wouldn't it?
It's just a pity, Lee Ji-eun doesn't seem suitable for a girl group.
Hmm?
No, that's not right!
Who said it wouldn't work?
Jiang Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He even managed to create the unorthodox combination of Liu Zhimin and Zhang Yuanying in the same team, so a wicked combination of Lee Ji-eun and Kim Tae-yeon shouldn't be a problem, right?
Damn it...
It seems there's something to this?
The more Jiang Shu thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
Then if I add Lee Sun-mi and Kim Hyun-a, wouldn't this wicked combination be even more exciting?
Oh no, why am I a little excited?
But the next second, Jiang Shu felt helpless.
In this world, it seemed only he would understand this reference.
If it were in the real world, the unorthodox version of IVE would definitely cause a huge stir, wouldn't it?
What a pity.
Thinking this, Jiang Shu picked up the phone on his desk.
"Notify the front desk administration. If a girl claiming to be Lee Ji-eun comes, bring her directly to my office."
After giving the instructions, he hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair, looking forward to their meeting later.
Honestly, it really felt like sitting in a room, waiting for a technician to arrive. But unlike the usual situation where you don't know what kind of technician will come or what their number is, this was more like anticipating a long-awaited reunion with a technician you know very well, like, and understand deeply.
I'm really looking forward to it~~
...
4:12 PM.
Ding.
The elevator doors opened, and what greeted the three administrative staff at the front desk was a short, plainly dressed, seemingly unremarkable girl.
The girl carried a canvas bag on her back. After walking in, she looked around curiously, but upon meeting the gaze of the front desk staff, her small face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head as she approached the front desk.
"Hello, I'm Lee Ji-eun. I have an appointment with your Chairman," the girl said in a soft voice, but her words were clear enough.
The three administrators exchanged glances, then the one on the far right spoke.
"Ji-eun, please come this way. The Chairman is already waiting for you."
"Yes!" Lee Ji-eun (currently 25 years old) responded and then followed the administrative staff.
Just past a corner, some noisy voices entered her ears.
"Autumn Ouni, should we go to Tote for afternoon tea, or Tangyu for afternoon tea later?"
"I think Tote is pretty good. The most important thing is that their plating is really exquisite!"
"What do you think, Ouni?"
"Uh... either is fine."
"Then Tote it is!"
Lee Ji-eun curiously looked in the direction of the voices, her small mouth slightly agape.
【So tall!】
In Lee Ji-eun's line of sight, a tall and short combination came into view.
The girl on the left, her height was almost a head and a half taller than her. What did she eat to grow so tall?
How could she be so tall?
