Chapter 4: The Girls' Group Trainees Funded by the Sock Factory!
"Mr. Shen, you said this proposal was submitted by a new colleague who just joined the company!"
"We've really struck gold this time."
Everyone was overjoyed; such talent was truly rare.
However, everyone immediately realized that if it was a proposal put forward by a newcomer, could it be that this variety show was to be produced by themselves?
"Mr. Shen, so you mean today's meeting was to discuss the 'Produce 101' project, and that our team will produce it ourselves?"
This is different from Coolcat's previous approach.
Shen Yan explicitly affirmed his idea of preparing to produce his own variety show.
"Great, I plan to set up a project team and then focus all our efforts on developing 'Produce 101'."
Hearing that President Shen was preparing to make sweeping changes, the group began to hesitate again.
"Mr. Shen, although this kind of girl group training variety show is very novel, the risk of producing a variety show yourself is very high. Compared with purchasing the copyright of a finished program, this is just a concept program, and there are too many uncertainties."
"Furthermore, we have absolutely no experience with girl group variety shows before. Who will be the editor-in-chief, and who will coordinate and be in charge of this project?"
After all, the difficulty and risks of creating a project from scratch are incomparable to purchasing a pre-made project.
Shen Jiamin was surprised that his cousin valued this newcomer so much, as he was immediately appointed as the assistant to the variety show production director.

...
Since it's less than an hour's drive from Xieqiao Town to the company, Tang Lou went home after the interview.
After arriving home, Tang Lou went directly to see Yang Chaoyue. According to the current progress, the approval of "Produce 101" is still very secure.
Then we need to guide and arrange for Yang Chaoyue to participate in this program.
Yang Chaoyue's rented apartment is located in a demolition community, in a five-story building without even an elevator.
Yang Chaoyue rented the third floor and shared it with two other factory girls. Each of them had a room, and they shared a living room, bathroom, and kitchen.
After Tang Lou knocked on the door, Yang Chaoyue quickly came to open it.
Yang Chaoyue was injured and had been recuperating at home for the past few days, so she wore a pink bunny pajama set and strawberry-patterned slippers.
Yang Chaoyue injured her finger while staying at home and couldn't wash her hair, so she wore a headband to hold her long hair back, revealing her forehead. She looked very energetic and radiant!
"No wonder this girl, with such weak singing and dancing skills, was able to be selected for 'Produce 101.' I have to say, her facial features and figure are impeccable."
Yang Chaoyue appeared very happy and welcoming upon seeing the young boss:
"Hey boss, how did the interview go today? Did you get it?"
Clearly, Yang Chaoyue still cared about Tang Lou, and led him into the house to sit on the communal sofa.
With one hand around her neck, she used the other to make tea and pour water for Tang Lou.
"Of course, I've already been accepted. I came to see you today about the variety show I'm planning. What do you think? Are you interested in participating?"
Yang Chaoyue poured water with one hand, her movements still very slow, and then sat down next to the Tanglou building with the teacup in hand.
"Young boss, you're really amazing."
"What kind of variety show is this? I don't know anything about it, can I even do it?"
Deep down, Yang Chaoyue definitely wanted to participate. Her family was unhappy when she was young, and her decision to work alone shows her strong personality.
She would certainly not refuse the opportunity to improve herself, but being only seventeen, she was still a little apprehensive and hesitant.
"You don't need to worry about that. The program I'm planning is a girl group training program. All you need is some basic singing and dancing skills. You can learn and grow during the program."
In Tang Lou's memory, Yang Chaoyue, who participated in the show in her previous life, was someone with a very weak foundation who relied on practice on the show to continuously improve.
This girl has great luck and is very popular with audiences, so all she needs is an opportunity and guidance!
Upon hearing Tang Lou's words, Yang Chaoyue's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
"But I have absolutely no singing or dancing skills."
"Boss, am I particularly useless?"
"Don't worry about that. I'll find you a teacher and give you some special training. As long as you pass the preliminary selection, that's fine."
"And don't forget, I'm the planner of this show. You'll be my accomplice. As long as your performance isn't too outrageous, I can guarantee you a spot."
With power in hand, one should certainly make the most of it.
Moreover, recommending Yang Chaoyue for admission is a sure-fire way to make money!
"You'll be competing as the representative selected by our Xieqiao Socks Factory!"
Tang Lou has already come up with a persona for Yang Chaoyue: a factory girl participating in a girl group competition—it's sure to be a sensation!
"ha!"
Yang Chaoyue looked at the boss in disbelief. Shouldn't girl group auditions feature cute and adorable characters, or cool and sassy ones? She was supposed to debut as a sock factory worker?
While Yang Chaoyue was bewildered, Tang Lou unleashed his trump card.
"Your sock factory is paying for your audition. You'll still get paid during the audition, plus a daily travel allowance of 50 yuan."
"So, are you going or not?"
Upon hearing that her salary would still be paid, Yang Chaoyue's eyes lit up, fearing that Tang Lou might change his mind.
"Yes, of course I'll go!"
After Yang Chaoyue made her statement, Tang Lou also received an email from the HR department of KuMiao.
At the same time, there was also a message sent personally by Shen Yan.
"Tang Lou, your 'Produce 101' project has been finalized. Once the group's funding is in place, we can officially launch it!"
"Welcome to your official start date tomorrow!"
