Chapter 480:


    “...Huh?”


    Seo-jun tilted his head.


    His movement looked very slow.


    It was obvious that he didn''t understand at all.


    Seo Eun-chan smiled bitterly and opened his mouth.


    “So, to explain from the beginning... I''m thinking of changing Cocoa Entertainment.”


    “...Cocoa Entertainment?”


    Seo-jun blinked and repeated.


    “Yes. I''m planning to move the company to a new building and hire quite a few staff members.”


    “A new building...”


    Seo-jun looked around the president''s office as he echoed Seo Eun-chan''s words.


    It was less shiny than when he first visited as a child, but it didn''t look too bad, probably thanks to good maintenance.


    And it was the same for other places.


    The basement practice room, the conference room, the office, etc.


    All the places were familiar to him.


    “Of course, if you, the investor, oppose it, well, I guess we’ll have to compromise somehow.”


    Seo-jun shook his head quickly.


    “No, it''s fine. I don''t know much about that stuff.”


    He didn''t have much interest either, and his parents were taking care of the related matters.


    He just invested in Cocoa Entertainment for Brown Black and Seo Eun-chan.


    He didn''t invest to run Cocoa Entertainment.


    ‘Of course, I would stop them if they ran it into the ground.’


    He remembered the previous president who had brought Cocoa Entertainment to the brink of ruin.


    There was little chance that Seo Eun-chan would do that.


    He also understood why he wanted to move the company.


    The number of singers had increased to four teams, and Blue Moon had debuted for a while, so there would be new groups coming out soon.


    Then they would need more staff members to take care of the increased number of singers.


    The company might have become too small.


    It was already a bit crowded.


    “And I''m thinking of reorganizing the company structure.”


    At Seo Eun-chan''s words, Ahn Da Ho tightened his hands clasped together.


    His gaze was down, as if he was lost in thought.


    Seo-jun looked at him for a moment.


    If they reorganized the company, there would be personnel changes as well.


    ‘A new manager... Then what happens to Da Ho hyung? Does he work in the office? Do they find a road manager?’


    Then what would be different from now?


    He had those thoughts in his mind, but Seo-jun decided to listen to Seo Eun-chan''s story a little more.


    “How are you going to change it?”


    “I''m going to separate the singer team and the actor team clearly. They’re mixed up right now.”


    Seo-jun nodded.


    Cocoa Entertainment was currently divided into four teams.


    Singer team 1 with Brown Black and those who had been with them from the beginning.


    Actor Lee Seo-jun''s exclusive team 2 with Seo-jun''s joining.


    Singer team 3 that was newly created because it was too busy with Brown Black and White''s care, and Red Crown''s debut.


    The trainee team that recruited trainees who would become idols and took care of them until they debuted.


    Even if they included A&R team, PR team, management support team, etc., the company was small compared to its name value.


    And since the teams were made whenever there were new celebrities or when things got too busy, there was no clear system.


    He understood that well enough and nodded his head, but then Seo-jun paused. One word caught his attention. Not an exclusive team, but,


    “...Actor team?”


    “...Yes.”


    In a strangely tense situation, seo Eun-chan swallowed his saliva.


    This was the main point of his story.


    It was also the reason why he met them today.


    ‘But...’


    A while ago, seo Eun-chan brought up the company reorganization. His heart sank at the question of whether he would oversee the actor team that would be created later.


    He was afraid.


    And he felt guilty.


    ‘Even if we go somewhere else, we have to go with Da Ho hyung and team 2. I''m sorry, uncle.’


    He remembered Seo-jun''s words at the last renewal. He felt like he had betrayed Seo-jun for a moment of fear.


    So he tried to refuse, but he couldn''t help thinking of Seo Eun-chan''s words sometimes.


    He only focused on Seo-jun when he took care of him, so Seo-jun didn''t notice because he didn''t have any other thoughts, but when Seo-jun wasn''t there, he quickly had random thoughts and it showed.


    ‘Seo-jun''s parents must have known that too.’


    Ahn Da Ho sighed inwardly and washed his face.


    He didn''t know why he was like this.


    His mind was wavering.


    He couldn''t make a decision after seriously considering Seo Eun-chan''s proposal, so he decided to follow Seo-jun''s decision.


    He told Seo Eun-chan that he had to listen to Seo-jun''s opinion anyway and agreed to talk to him. This meeting was created. He was still worried here.


    ‘New actors...’


    Of course, as the head of the actor team, he would be more of a director than taking care of each actor, but he couldn''t help being interested.


    He was curious about what kind of results he would get if he supported other actors.


    ‘But Seo-jun is just starting...’


    Seo-jun was just becoming an adult and it was time for him to be active.


    He would get more roles and be able to play more diverse characters.


    He was busy enough finding the next work and script, so this was something that shouldn''t take away his time.


    ‘...Still.’


    He thought it would be better for him to take care of Seo-jun.


    When Ahn Da Ho made up his mind and looked up, seo-jun opened his mouth.


    “What about team 2?”


    “...Huh? Huh?!”


    Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da Ho flinched as if they were hit by Seo-jun''s slightly hoarse voice.


    Seo-jun spoke with a stiff expression.


    “If you need experienced people to lead and guide the actor team... It would be faster and better to use team 2 staff members than recruiting new ones from outside. If you were planning to take Da Ho hyung away, didn''t you think about team 2 too?”


    ‘...Wow. Our Seo-jun is smart.’


    He had thought that far in that short time.


    At Seo-jun''s words, seo Eun-chan glanced around and nodded his head.


    Just like Ahn Da Ho, the team 2 staff members who had been working together for a long time were also very valuable talents.


    He was thinking of getting their help if the actor team was created.


    “...I haven''t told team 2 yet... but if you’re okay with it, I''m going to talk to them and decide who will stay in team 2 and who will move to another team.”


    Without saying anything, seo-jun looked at him and Seo Eun-chan felt a prick in his heart and sweated coldly.


    “No. That''s... if you’re okay with it, I mean. If you’re okay with moving! That''s why I''m telling you first before anyone else! Only you and me and team leader Ahn and team 1 leader and Su-ryeon know about the reorganization!”


    “What if I''m not okay?”


    “Then I have no choice but to keep team 2 as it is and recruit from outside...”


    Seo Eun-chan''s voice got smaller as he panicked at Seo-jun''s stiff voice.


    He had only planned to discuss it slowly with Seo-jun after making a real plan.


    ‘I didn''t know he would hate it so much! I have to rethink the actor team plan from the beginning. Should I scout? Where do I get them from?’


    Ahn Da Ho looked down.


    He was glad that Seo-jun didn''t want to let him go, but he also felt sorry.


    He felt stupid for being tempted for a moment.


    ‘Let''s just focus on Seo-jun''s care from now on.’


    They both made up their minds at that moment.


    “Okay. Let''s do that, whatever.”


    They looked up at the voice with a light sigh.


    “...What?”


    “...Seo-jun?”


    The stiff expression from before was gone, and Seo-jun smiled as if he couldn''t help it but was a little disappointed.


    “It''s okay. A new manager.”
