Chapter 33: The New Top Traffic
A single sentence, "Can you wash dishes?", made the expression of Shen Mingliu in the crowd visibly stiffen.
He did not expect that after he extended an olive branch, Luo Mo would give such a response.
He was, after all, a Newcomer heavily promoted by Xingshi Entertainment; in such a massive company, resources would all be tilted toward him.
Moreover, looking at it now, he was undeniably the Top Traffic in "Creating Idols", ranked first on the Popularity Support Ranking.
Many people would feel that if I have already taken the initiative to give you a step down, and you still don't take it, then that is being ungrateful.
Shen Mingliu currently held this same thought.
He gave Luo Mo a deep look and only said one sentence: "I am not Tong Shu. At the next public performance, let's clash then."
Then, he walked through the crowded throng to the other end of the stage to charm and make heart gestures to his fans on-site.
Luo Mo watched his Back Shadow, shrugged his shoulders, and wore an indifferent expression.
He never felt that after someone took the initiative to stir up trouble and then offered a step down, he had to take it.
If he hadn't been winning all the way, then from the very beginning, he would have been a tool for these people from Xingshi Entertainment, a stepping stone for them to enter A Class, and a defeated opponent for them to regain their standing.
"The term 'let bygones be bygones' is too hypocritical; I am a rather petty person, and I like it when the tides turn." Luo Mo smiled and began to wave to the audience on-site in thanks.
……..
……..
With this, the first public performance of "Creating Idols" came to an end.
Director Ning Dan came to the lounge and, in front of the one hundred trainees, said only one sentence, which caused the whole room to erupt.
"Tonight, the production team is treating everyone to hot pot!"
Besides this, the trainees were also allowed to drink alcohol tonight. Although the quota for each person was only one can of beer, it still made many trainees who loved to drink feel happy and satisfied.
"Creating Idols" did not include any minors, so drinking was permitted.
However, for some, this was a celebratory drink after victory, while for others, it was to drown their sorrows after failure.
The five celebrity mentors did not stay to eat the hot pot prepared by the production team, but instead returned to their hotels to rest.
Before leaving, Xu Chujing glanced at Luo Mo; she had wanted to go up and chat with him for a bit, but later decided against it.
Her reason had been Warning her all along—stay away from him!!!
This was a kind of intuition that came from a woman, and she had always trusted her intuition.
Jiang Ningxi wanted to go and chat with Luo Mo alone; just as she was about to stand up, she was pulled back by Shen Yinuo.
"Xiao Shen, what are you doing?" Jiang Ningxi's right arm was wrapped in Shen Yinuo's chest, sinking right in.
"Oh my, we are going back to the car now, I have something urgent to tell you!" Shen Yinuo hugged Jiang Ningxi's arm tightly.
The Little Red Riding Hood girl Jiang Ningxi was helpless and could only return to the van with her first.
After getting in the car, she asked: "Xiao Shen, what are you doing, being so hurried."
Shen Yinuo tilted her head to look at her, propped her chin with one hand, clicked her tongue a few times, and said: "Jiang Jiang, look at how beautiful you are, your legs are long, white, and straight, and your temperament is so good…….. If you were to use a beauty trap, you would surely be invincible, right?"
Jiang Ningxi felt quite pleased hearing the first half, but upon hearing the second half, her brows could not help but furrow tightly, and her tone turned cold as she said: "Xiao Shen, what nonsense are you spouting to me!"
A big reason why she was willing to join Aurora Girls in the first place was that she had a very good relationship with Shen Yinuo, and because this wealthy young lady was there, this girl group was actually very special and did not need to engage in any social niceties.
Shen Yinuo looked at Jiang Ningxi and said: "Oh, Jiang Jiang, don't be angry yet. I actually want you to be a lobbyist and persuade Luo Mo to sign with our Xinyu!"
Xinyu was the company where Aurora Girls was located, a first-tier company in the industry, second only to the Big Four.
Jiang Ningxi's expression softened only when she heard it was to get Luo Mo to sign a contract.
"Sign a contract is fine, why talk about a beauty trap!" She still said with slight displeasure: "Then you are so big yourself, I heard men like them big, why don't you go yourself?"
"Should I go use a beauty trap?" Shen Yinuo began to think seriously, then revealed an expression of going all out on her face, and said decisively: "Okay!"
At the word "Okay", Jiang Ningxi became anxious.
"No! You dare!?" Jiang Ningxi widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Shen Yinuo.
Her cold face was filled with Anger.
This actually left Shen Yinuo stunned: "I was just joking; how could this young lady lower her status to seduce a future company artist."
She looked at Jiang Ningxi, raised her hand and placed it on her slender thigh, and said: "Jiang Jiang, you are so angry, you are acting strange!"
"Am... am I?" Jiang Ningxi tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, feeling a slight panic.
Shen Yinuo nodded vigorously, moved her hand on the thigh further up, and said: "You haven't been moved by a man for so many years, tell me! Is it me you like?"
Speaking of which, among girl group fans, there really are shipping fans.
Fans nowadays love to pair people up. Jiang Ningxi had a cold temperament and a slender figure; many fans felt she was full of "top" energy and super A.
Shen Yinuo was a soft girl with a large chest; the two of them together were quite evocative.
Very lesbian-coded.
Jiang Ningxi looked at Shen Yinuo and listened to her silly talk, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.
"You found me out?" She slapped away Shen Yinuo's thieving hand on her thigh, saying indifferently.
"Hmph, are you going to be the lobbyist or not, one word, go or not go!" Shen Yinuo crossed her arms over her chest.
This scene was a bit like Hinata in the bathhouse in "Naruto".
Jiang Ningxi did not answer immediately, but asked: "Why do you want to sign him?"
Shen Yinuo had told her a long time ago that she had plans to sign people; if there were good seedlings, she would exercise this power of hers to prove to her dad that she had a sharp eye.
But she still wanted to ask more.
A small wrinkle formed on Shen Yinuo's nose as she said: "He's amazing, isn't he? Plus, my intuition tells me that he hasn't shown his full strength yet!"
Jiang Ningxi glanced at her and thought to herself: "Although Xiao Shen looks silly on the surface, in reality, her Heart Eye is very clear, and she is very accurate in judging people."
She spoke up: "Then what level of contract do you intend to give him, and what conditions will you offer?"
Shen Yinuo pondered for a moment, then stated her current thoughts.
After listening, Jiang Ningxi was slightly stunned and said: "Isn't this just one level lower than my contract?"
You have to know, she only changed this Contract after she became famous.
Shen Yinuo nodded and said, "Isn't that very sincere? I also think it's very sincere!"
She continued, "For a Newcomer who has just signed with a company, the company has to desperately pour in money and resources. After all, only after establishing a certain foundation will they enter a virtuous Loop and save some effort."
"At this stage, don't look at the fact that the company takes the lion's share in the Contract; in reality, the company pays a lot and still has to bear the risk of losing money," Shen Yinuo said.
Jiang Ningxi did not say anything; her status was different from Shen Yinuo's, and it was not convenient for her to express any opinions on this matter.
But it had to be said, the terms Shen Yinuo offered were truly beyond reproach.
If it were a very bad Contract, she would be too embarrassed to go find Luo Mo to sign it; she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"After My Girl Group First Love Became Famous, She Tricked Me Onto a Pirate Ship"?
That would look a bit ugly.
Jiang Ningxi scrutinized Shen Yinuo, suddenly remembered something, and said, "So, the day you went to find Luo Mo and chased me away, you were trying to sign him?"
"Yeah, Surprise, right? Signing your old classmate, your middle school desk mate," Shen Yinuo said.
Surprise my foot!
This is more like a shock!
Jiang Ningxi was actually still a bit conflicted right now; did she really want to stay in the same company as her first love boyfriend...?
She continued, "So when you first approached him, he rejected you?"
Shen Yinuo nodded, feeling a surge of anger, and said, "The terms he offered me were simply S-rank; a Newcomer wanting to establish a personal studio—there is no such precedent in the industry. How could that be possible? It's not even good for him!"
Jiang Ningxi looked at her and said, "Actually, it's not impossible."
"Huh?" Shen Yinuo looked at her and said, "Then tell me, on what grounds? Where is the possibility?"
Jiang Ningxi looked out the window and said softly, "By relying on Creating Idols to become the new Top Traffic in the industry."
