Abstract: Let $mathcalP$ be the set of all primes and $pi(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$. For any $nge2$, let $P^{+}(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$. For $0<c<1$, let ${\displaystyle }$T_c(x)=#{ple x:pin mathcal{P},P^+(p-1)ge p^c}.${\displaystyle }$ In this note, we proved that there exists some $c<1$ such that ${\displaystyle }$limsup_{x ightarrowinfty}frac{T_c(x)}{pi(x)}<frac12,${\displaystyle }$ which disproves a conjecture of Chen and Chen.
