How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 130 Negotiations but Cheating

Luo Xi immediately clicked "agree" and saw the three thousand points instantly added to his inventory, feeling a sense of wonder as if he had activated a cheat code.

"Just a reminder, you can only use the points I give you to buy items. Don't add them to your attribute points. The encryption of attributes is very complex and closely related to the world consciousness and the main system. So, points from illegitimate sources cannot be added to your attributes. If you trigger some mechanism, you will really perish together with the system."

"Yes, boss!" Luo Xi replied, his voice rising slightly with genuine emotion as he received his allowance.

"It's just 3000 points, don't act like you've never seen anything like it."

"Then boss, give me another thousand so I can see the world!"

"..."

In the silence, another page popped up in Luo Xi's eyes, offering a transfer of 3000 points.

Awesome! Even though I can't change attribute points, it's still great to collect points!

Bai Qiu sat back in his leather office chair and opened Luo Xi's task list. "Your current task is to [become the ACE]. There are three tasks: achieve the highest number of fans in the entire group; obtain the official ACE status; and have the highest average attributes in the entire group, right?"

"You can see this too?"

“I learned some system technology in another world, so I can open all your panels. Otherwise, how would I know you’re a woman?” Bai Qiu said casually. “Don’t get off topic.”

"I'll help you complete these three tasks as quickly as possible. I'll buy you more followers, and we'll finalize the ACE positioning in tomorrow's meeting. Then, the attribute points... Should we replace the person with the highest attribute? But if we replace them, there will still be other people. You can't form a group by yourself. Let's keep it simple and just have the system give her more tasks. How can she survive in the entertainment industry with such low attribute points?"

"After we resolve the current issues in three months and the company starts operating and making a profit, I will buy traffic for you to increase your number of fans. You need to achieve the highest average attributes in the entire group."

Luo Xi felt there was no need to rush: "But isn't there still 429 days left on that countdown?"

"I don't care about the 429-day countdown. I can't possibly wait until then. I need to see results within three months. Everyone, get moving!"

041 Enough is Enough: [The system opposes fake data and inflated numbers. Any artificially manipulated follower counts will be considered invalid! Furthermore, the system will not issue any meaningless tasks that allow the host to gain without effort! The system warns potential fugitives not to attempt to mislead my host! Luo Xi will grow step by step on his own!]

"You're doing it again." Bai Qiu turned to look at Luo Xi. "What do you suggest we do?"

Luo Xi pondered for a moment: "I think 041 is right. We can take it one step at a time. There are 429 days, aren't there?"

"Give me back my 3000 points."

“…Okay.” Luo Xi opened the warehouse with a wronged expression. “But I don’t know how to do that transfer. How do I do this?”

Bai Qiu slapped his forehead.

How did he end up with two idiots?

Since both Yiren and Yitong were very insistent, Baiqiu tried both persuasion and coercion but failed to change their minds (instead, it made Yiren and Yitong even more united). In the end, he had no choice but to compromise, since he had already invested and could not easily break the agreement in the face of potential gains.

"Let's put the other two aside for now and talk about the ACE positioning. This brings us to the company's current situation..."

“Mexico Entertainment doesn’t make much money right now, but it has a lot of people to support. It can’t even afford to pay the layoff compensation for those people. The only ones making money are One Origin’s tour and the newly debuted Fiction (D). Their debut album sales are okay, and they’ve made a little money, but with the money I redeemed with points, it’s just enough to fill the hole.”

"Because of previous debts, Baiqiu sold a large amount of its shares in Mo Ri Entertainment to keep it afloat. Fang Jing, Mengxing, Ya Yi, and Shengshi all bought a portion of it. Now, Mo Ri's total shareholding is only 30%, with Fang Jing still holding the largest share. Fang Jing's company has 20%, and Song's has 15%. They passed some regulations on board of directors to interfere with Mo Ri's management. Now, the debut of a new group requires the approval of all the directors, which is very complicated. Previously, Fiction (D)'s debut was only approved by Fang Jing through the final procedures of the previous 3% share transfer of Mo Ri."

"If you want to debut, you must get the approval of more than half of the shareholders. If I tell you to use props, then use props. If you don't have enough, then ask me for points. Even if it means piling up props, you have to get them to approve it."

"Fangjing, Mengxing, Yayi, and Shengshi are all companies that want to bring down Mori, especially Fangjing Film and Television. They want to enter the idol industry but are struggling to find a foothold, so they have practically made their intention to take over Mori overtly obvious."

"As you can see, Fiction (D) debuted, and Dream Star immediately brought back DayDay to counter it. Shengshi bought a bunch of negative information about the show, thinking they could crush Fiction (D). But unexpectedly, 'My Treasure 101' became so popular, and Fiction (D) still rose to prominence."

"Your debut will definitely face many obstacles. If they manage to drag down the show's popularity, you won't be able to rise to fame. Next year, One Origin will disband, and if there are rumors that you're past your prime, then Mo Ri Entertainment will be completely finished. So, what you need to do is not just debut, but become the face of Mo Ri Entertainment, the new ace. Even if we have to use all the company's resources, we will make you successful."

Luo Xi came down from the office and told her manager, who was waiting for her, that she would be attending the shareholders' meeting tomorrow to try to debut. Yuan Yu gave her a lot of words of encouragement.

Back in the dormitory, her teammates surrounded her and asked what had happened.

Luo Xi was worried that it would panic her teammates, so she concealed the fact that her debut had been postponed or that the company was facing bankruptcy. She only said that she was dealing with Xu Pu who had come to cause her trouble, but Xu Pu was unable to do anything to her. Moreover, she heard the news that Mo Ri had secured new investment, so they should be able to debut soon.

After hearing this, all four of them looked much brighter. Lu Yun said he would take her out to relax in the future, Song Chuchu said she would bring him along next time something like this happened, Gu Minxing went to the kitchen to cook something delicious for Luo Xi to comfort her, and Li Longxuan also patted Luo Xi's head, which was unusual for him, to remind her to be careful.

"Don't go to deserted places as much as possible in the future." Lee Yong-hyun slapped the ground hard one last time, making a sound as if he were slapping those words into Rosie's head.

"It hurts," Rosie cried out.

"Don't meddle in things that have nothing to do with you." Song Chuchu crossed her arms and glared at Li Longxuan, then said to Luo Xi, "You just love to meddle too much... although that's also one of your strengths."

Lu Yun handed his phone to Luo Xi. "I heard this newly opened Southeast Asian restaurant is really good. I've never tried it before. Let's eat here next time we go out! But when are we finally going to go out? I'm so bored staying in this place until our debut. Does your information specify when we'll debut?"

"They said they even called me in to sit in on a meeting before December. I'll give you an update after the meeting tomorrow."

Luo Xi was quite confident about tomorrow's shareholder meeting, not so much because she was confident in herself, but mainly because she was confident in the props she had bought: the "charming aura," the "persuasive reasoning," and the "lucky charm."
