Chapter 15

"Brother, I'm here."

Following Lee Hyori into the private room, the first thing he saw was Liu Zaishi, who was sitting at the entrance waiting for him.

"Alright, everyone, pay attention." Liu Zaishi smiled, nodded, and stood up, pulling Liu Zaitian to his side. Proudly clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, he began, "This is my brother, Liu Zaitian. This is your Brother Hudong, Brother Mingxiu, Brother Zhongmin, and Sister Hyori. Everyone, now that you've met my brother, you know I wasn't lying, right? My brother Liu Zaitian is really handsome!"

"Hudong Brother, Mingxiu Brother, Zhongmin Brother, Hyori Sister!" Liu Zaitian greeted them respectfully one by one, but he felt a bit embarrassed when he heard Liu Zaishi's praise.

This brother is really straightforward...

"Yes, he is indeed very handsome. No! He should be extremely handsome. If it weren't for Liu Zaishi saying it and Liu Zaitian nodding in agreement, no one would believe you two are brothers," Park Myung-soo nodded seriously. Although he knew Liu Zaitian and Liu Zaishi were not blood brothers, as a comedian, he was used to teasing Liu Zaishi at any opportunity.

"Yes, when I first walked to the entrance, if it weren't for Liu Zaitian being the only one standing there, I wouldn't have dared to greet him," Lee Hyori added, still teasing Liu Zaishi and Liu Zaitian for looking different.

"Right, Zaitian, I heard from Liu Zaishi that you're planning to produce your own variety show and debut through it?" Flipping the meat on the grill, Kang Hodong asked Liu Zaitian, who had already taken his seat.

Liu Zaitian glanced at Liu Zaishi beside him, and seeing him nod, he knew everyone present was trustworthy. He then said, "Actually, it's not about producing, but fully acquiring a TV variety show and then revamping it before rebroadcasting it. Brother, you should be very familiar with this show."

"Me?" Liu Zaishi was puzzled by how Liu Zaitian had brought up this topic, but following his question, he began to think. The variety show Liu Zaitian was acquiring must be one with very low ratings. Among the shows he knew, if he had to say which had very low ratings... his eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be...?"

"Exactly, it's MBC's weekend variety show, 'No Plan Challenge.' Through negotiations with the TV station, JS has already acquired the rights to this show. Once it's revamped, it can be rebroadcast on MBC." The negotiations between JS and the TV station were already complete, so anyone who cared could find out about it.

However, because 'No Plan Challenge' had such poor ratings, few people were concerned about its future, so no one worried about the changes. Of course, except for his brother Liu Zaishi.

At first, Kang Hodong thought Liu Zaitian was just producing a regular variety show to boost his popularity, but he never expected him to aim directly at a weekend variety show.

In this highly competitive time slot, under the dominance of X-Man...

"No wonder Liu Zaishi is so worried. This is indeed a big step. But from the look of Liu Zaishi, he doesn't seem to fully understand it..." Frowning, Kang Hodong was no longer optimistic about Liu Zaitian's future.

"I see why the PD has been so worried lately. And, Liu Zaitian, why didn't you consult me about this? You know it's related to me!" Liu Zaishi was surprised that the show he was hosting had been acquired by his brother without his knowledge. He had put a lot of effort into improving the show's ratings, but now...

"Well... the meat here is really delicious, Brother, you should eat more. Look how thin you've become." Changing the subject, Liu Zaitian put a piece of meat in his mouth and then flatteringly placed a large piece on Liu Zaishi's plate.

"You little brat, really... sigh!" Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Zaishi could only do this with his brother, but since he knew, he had to ask, "Now that you have the rights to revamp this show, how do you plan to change it?"

"Can't say." Shaking his head, Liu Zaitian continued eating.

"Can't say!" His tone rose, "Liu Zaitian, I'm your brother!"

"Even as your brother, I can't say. It's a trade secret. You don't have the right to know until you become a shareholder of JS." Liu Zaitian was determined not to reveal anything, but he quickly added, "Of course, if you find me a sister-in-law and get married right away, I'll tell you."

Liu Zaishi's face changed instantly.

The others around them laughed at Liu Zaitian's playful teasing of Liu Zaishi.

"So, Zaitian, you must have some expectations for this revamped variety show, right?" Taking advantage of the mood, Kang Hodong asked.

"Expectations... as the planner of a variety show, I hope it becomes a unique national variety show!" His eyes sparkled. Knowing the future success of 'Infinite Challenge' and with his foresight, if the revamped 'Infinite Challenge' only achieved the same success as in the future, it would be his failure.

"National variety show? Ha... I'll wait and see." Shaking his head, Kang Hodong no longer had any expectations for Liu Zaitian. However, as Liu Zaishi's friend, if he could help him in other programs, he would still do so.

But in anyone's eyes, building a skyscraper from scratch with no foundation was a complete fantasy.

At this moment, only Liu Zaitian knew the power this show would unleash in the future.

After that, they no longer discussed Liu Zaitian's plans. They drank, ate barbecue, and talked about various interesting stories in the entertainment industry.

By the end of the gathering, Liu Zaitian had become familiar with these older siblings.

By then, in Kang Hodong's mind, Liu Zaitian, despite his unrealistic dreams, was actually a very nice young man and a good junior.

...

The next day, Liu Zaitian returned to JS Entertainment in Gangnam.

Back then, because it was established in partnership with CJ Group and with a huge investment, it caused a significant stir, especially the sixteen-story building standing in the most prosperous area of Seoul, which was unique among all Korean entertainment companies.

Unfortunately, over time, this building, which should have been a source of pride for the company, had been gradually forgotten.

But today, Liu Zaitian believed that from this point on, it would shine again.
