How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 113 That Night

Let's go back to the brief power outage after the debut results were announced.

To match the concept of their debut song, the movable floor beneath their feet suddenly opened during a power outage, creating a "disappearing" effect.

Luo Xi felt his hand being grabbed, the ground began to tilt, and his whole body fell due to his panic and instability, landing in a sponge mat.

She looked up and saw that the movable floor above had been completely closed, and the area was surrounded by tall whiteboards, leaving only a passageway leading to an unknown destination.

Gu Minxing was the first to stand up, pulling Luo Xi and Song Chuchu up with one hand each. Lu Yun also got up on his own, and pulled Li Longxuan up as well.

"No one got hurt, right?" Gu Minxing checked before saying to the four people who were still clueless, "Don't panic, everyone. This is the production team's arrangement. Let's go outside first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

He pointed to the things in Rosie's hands and said, "Let me take them, they're heavy."

Luo Xi then handed the white porcelain trophy he had been holding tightly to Gu Minxing and asked, "Only the five of us fell. What about the other five?"

Lu Yun exclaimed, "Aren't we going back?"

Song Chuchu also asked, "What's going on?"

Lee Yong-hyun didn't say anything, but his expression was bad, as if he was silently protesting this unnecessary and tiring segment.

"We talked as we walked; our agent was still waiting for us outside."

As Gu Minxing led everyone away, he slowly explained, "From now on, the five of us will form one group, and the other five will form another group. The two groups have different concepts. In order to fulfill our concept, there are only five of us. The host has also arranged our positions to one side and let us all receive a trophy. It was all arranged by the production team. Now we need to secretly return to the hotel and create the illusion of disappearing."

Lu Yun leaned closer to Gu Minxing and said, "Brother, you know everything."

Unaware of what was going on, Song Chuchu pointed at Gu Minxing and said, "You even planned out the lineup. Did you already know who would debut?"

"I only know my own situation. I don't know who else will debut besides me. These arrangements were told to me by the director on the spot. I only just found out about this. I just do what the director tells me to do."

Lu Yun cheered: "Wow! I actually debuted alongside someone who got a guaranteed spot!"

Because it was difficult to determine Lu Yun's true intentions, Gu Minxing opened her mouth, but then closed it again, unsure how to respond.

Luo Xi noticed that Gu Minxing was a little embarrassed and came to his rescue, saying, "It was inevitable that Brother Minxing would debut, right? With his popularity, he already knew he would debut. Not to mention Brother Minxing, Brother Longxuan, Chuchu, and even you, Lu Yun, I'm the one who was the unexpected one."

“No, I was also surprised. I didn’t expect that five more people would be added! If I had known that five more people would be added, I wouldn’t have bought tickets in advance,” Lu Yun said, stroking his chin. “I could still think about it if there were ten people, but I really don’t think I could be selected if there were five.”

Gu Minxing smiled gratefully at Luo Xi and said, "In any case, we have become a group. Every vote is the result of the fans' hard work. In the future, we should all work together to live up to the fans' choice."

At the end of the passage was their agent, a mature and composed middle-aged man in a suit, carrying a pile of clothes on his arm.

Upon meeting, the agent had the five people put on staff clothes, name tags, masks, and hats, and blend into the staff group to return to the hotel.

Once they reached the upper floors of the hotel without incident, the agent began to introduce himself.

"I am your agent, Yuan Yu, and I am responsible for arranging and coordinating your various schedules."

Yuan Yu is a long-time employee of Mo Ri. His predecessor was in charge of One Origin. He was praised by One Origin's fans as "only" for his reliability and emphasis on the health of the artists.

The reason why Yuan Yu is now in charge of the new group is that One Origin later developed individual careers and subdivided into different managers. Yuan Yu was responsible for the activity arrangements of one of the artists, Ying Cheng. However, Ying Cheng did not renew his individual contract with Mo Ri this year and signed with Win Sound, a music company he co-founded with his friends. Yuan Yu's work was then freed up, so he took over the new group.

Yuan Yu extended his hand to shake hands with each member and said in a friendly voice, "I was in charge of One Origin before, so I have some experience. I will take good care of you. If you need anything or have any complaints in the future, just tell me directly. Don't be shy."

"Next, you just need to come with me to meet an important leader, and then you can go back and get some rest. We should get up early tomorrow and try not to stay up late."

"Also, you still cannot use any electronic devices or see anyone. You must cooperate to complete the concept, and you cannot reveal any personal information before your debut."

"Brother Yuan, can I see my family? I haven't seen them in so long, they must still be waiting for me at the concert venue." Lu Yun seized the opportunity and asked in a pleading tone.

"I'll arrange it for you later."

After Yuan Yu finished speaking, the group walked towards the dining room where the upper floors were located.

Stepping into a magnificent interior, with marble walls and dark ceilings, the lighting dimmed as you went further in, and the interior became predominantly black. After passing through several landscape-themed screen doors, you finally came to a huge, high-quality black wooden round table, around which sat people dressed in suits, raising their wine glasses and chatting and laughing.

As soon as they entered, the agent whispered to them, "The man in the dark blue shirt in the middle on the left is Qin Tian, ​​our Vice President of Mo Ri. The president is out seeking investment, so the vice president is managing the company now."

Then the agent led them to the front center position.

Sitting on either side of the middle was a very fat middle-aged man, so fat that Rosie felt he was somewhat unhealthy. His flashy suit jacket couldn't be buttoned at the waist because of this. His voice was weak, but sounded kind.

An elderly man dressed in a traditional Chinese suit, looking quite old, with gray hair.

A middle-aged woman wearing glasses and a cheongsam dress, with a serious expression.

The agent introduced them one by one: "This is Mr. Xu Pu, General Manager of the Beverage Industry of Baozhi Group, the biggest sponsor of our program; this is Mr. Ruan Siyuan, CEO of Shengshi; this is Ms. Zeng Wenjing, Director of Haicheng TV Station."

Sitting in the very center was a lady, the most beautiful and elegant woman on the table, an undeniable presence that caught the eye at a glance. She had long, flowing black hair, and her blue eyes beneath it shone with a sharp and scrutinizing light. Her cold and beautiful face gave off an air of unapproachable nobility. She wore a black casual-style suit trousers with a dignified and commanding presence.

She looks very young, but her presence is undiminished, firmly holding her position in the main seat.

"This is Song Xinxin, the chairperson of Song's Company. Please say hello to Chairperson Song and all the leaders."

The five people greeted each other readily.
