During the new book's promotion period, I'm seeking all kinds of support!

"No! Absolutely not, what kind of joke are you playing?" Instantly, Liu Zaishi stood up, his eyes wide open, and he stared intently at Liu Zaitian in front of him, his tone unprecedentedly serious.
"Zaitian, you should understand what your brother has gone through after becoming a comedian. As a low-ranking profession in the entertainment industry, comedians often face a lot of unfair treatment. And now that you have the means, you could actually be a movie actor or a TV actor if you wanted to. As for being a comedian... I disagree!"
"Yes, Zaitian, you need to think carefully." Hearing Liu Zaishi's words, Liu's mother also became somewhat worried. As Liu Zaishi's mother, she had a certain understanding of the current situation in the entertainment industry.
If he were to become a comedian, she was very concerned that Liu Zaitian might suffer some unnecessary委屈 (unfair treatment).
"I understand, I know. Although I haven't been in Korea for a long time, the angel investment I own has actually been laying out plans for Korea for the past two years. So, I am not unfamiliar with the current situation in the Korean entertainment industry; in fact, I am very clear about it." Liu Zaitian remained calm in the face of Liu Zaishi's opposition and his mother's concern.
"Since you are so clear, why are you still determined to become a comedian? You must understand that although my current situation is quite good, the number of artists with my status and situation is very few compared to the large number of comedians. You should understand this, right?"
"I understand, I am clear about all of this. So, I am not just going to be a simple comedian, but a variety show planner, and then participate in it as a comedian." Liu Zaitian, who had been prepared for this, answered calmly.
"Variety show planner?" Just hearing the name, Liu Zaishi, though not very clear, understood a little.
"Yes, I will plan variety shows according to my wishes, then collaborate with TV stations for broadcasting. When the time comes, I will participate in them. This way, I can avoid some troubles. Even when the variety shows I plan become popular, my status will rise accordingly. At that time, your younger brother will definitely become an object of flattery and favor, so you don't need to worry anymore." For his plans, Liu Zaitian had already made preparations before returning to Korea.
"Then, are you so sure that the variety shows you plan will become popular?" The three major TV stations broadcast countless variety shows every week, but only a few of them become popular. Especially now, with the popularity of X-Man, which I host on SBS, it has reached a dominant position.
"Brother, you have to believe in your younger brother's brain. As a genius who started financial management at the age of nine and achieved the current success, when I focus my mind on this, the energy I can unleash will definitely surprise you. Anyway, just wait and see." Liu Zaitian stopped here, now his mind was thinking about the interesting scenario of their future meetings in a different identity.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't oppose it." At this point, Liu Zaishi could only nod helplessly. Now, he could only hope that Liu Zaitian would have a smooth journey on this path.
"There's one more thing, it's about you, brother."
After finishing this conversation, Liu Zaitian shifted the topic to Liu Zaishi.
"About me? What is it?"
A bit puzzled, but Liu Zaishi listened attentively.
"It's like this, your current management contract is set to expire this year, right? Although it's a bit early, I am formally inviting you to join our company, JS Entertainment, on behalf of the company. I believe that with the addition of you, the national MC, when our company launches new artists, we will definitely receive more support!"
Although the latter part of his words was not very serious, when Liu Zaitian put on a serious face, the commanding presence he had developed over the years immediately intimidated Liu Zaishi.
"JS Entertainment, you mean the entertainment company that was established two years ago through a partnership with CJ Group?" Liu Zaishi had a certain impression of this company. When it was established, it caused quite a stir, but because it had not launched any artist groups in the past two years, it had been largely ignored.
"Yes, Father has a certain personal relationship with CJ Group's chairman, Lee Jae-hyun, so I obtained some of CJ Group's trainees and distribution channels through a partnership to establish JS Entertainment as my management company in Korea. And, brother, don't you think the name of this company sounds familiar?" Liu Zaitian looked at Liu Zaishi with a playful expression.
"JS? JS?... Isn't that the abbreviation of my name!" Laughing bitterly, he shook his head helplessly, "Liu Zaitian, you little brat, be careful, I might sue you for using my image without permission."
"What are you talking about? This company has your shares, so it's also your company. How can there be any infringement..." Liu Zaitian pouted, completely ignoring Liu Zaishi's threat.
"My... shares!?"
Eyes wide open again, Liu Zaishi felt his brain couldn't keep up.
"Yes, when I created this company, it was intended to be a private company for us brothers. But with the idea of doing things properly, we continued to recruit trainees and various vocal and dance instructors, as well as other necessary personnel. However, your shares will only be given to you when you get married. At that time, I will personally hand them over to my future sister-in-law, so she can keep them safe for you."
"Really!"
Shaking his head, Liu Zaishi didn't know what to say anymore, "Alright, I don't oppose your entry into the entertainment industry. I will join JS Entertainment when my current contract expires. Are you satisfied now?"
"OK, everything is settled, but Mom, I'm hungry!"
The first half of his sentence was serious, but the second half was a direct plea to his mother, who was holding his hand. However, Liu's mother clearly enjoyed it, but because of Liu Zaitian's pitiful look, she glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Oh, it's almost seven o'clock. I'll go make dinner now. Zaitian, wait a moment, I'll make your favorite braised pork..."
With that, Liu's mother rushed into the kitchen like the wind.
