Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Investment

Lu Jiao closed the system in disbelief and reopened it. The long rejection was still in front of his eyes.

"Someone didn't feel amazed by Qi Xing's face after watching the video? Is that worthy of my ten hours?!" Lu Jiao said angrily.

[Host, please don't make overly persuasive remarks. Pride makes people fall behind.]

Lu Jiao asked in a black voice, rushed to the toilet, dragged Qi Xing out who was brushing his teeth, forced him to lower his head, held his face and asked the system, "System, tell me the truth, isn't this face handsome?"

[Please don't embarrass the system. The system is just a program and does not have human aesthetics.]

Lu Jiao and the vest stared at each other for a long time, and the vest blinked innocently.

After a long while, she put the vest back and brushed her teeth. She shook her head to clear her previous thoughts, "I still believe in my aesthetics. Since the program team does not recognize Qi Xing..."

The system guessed: [Then host, you can change the race track? ]

Lu Jiao: "Then I will spend money to give Qi Xing a place."

[...]

Lu Jiao did not care about the silence of the system. She walked back to the computer and searched for news about "Next Station Idol".

While searching for related news, Lu Jiao slowly recalled the rumors about this program she heard in her previous life.

If the money spent to compete for a place was just a fuss, it is really possible now.

This variety show was distributed by Tianhe Video. It auditioned trainees from hundreds of entertainment companies and finally selected 100 trainees to participate in the program recording. The 100 trainees trained in a closed environment for four months just to debut as a group. As soon as it was promoted, it attracted a lot of attention in the circle.

This model can be said to be unprecedented. The previous known debut methods were all trained by the agency itself, and the trainees released singles and albums to promote their debut. There was no special program to audition debut artists.

But no matter how skeptical and pessimistic the outside world was, the first episode of the program was just released, and the over 500 million views silenced the doubters inside and outside the circle. Every subsequent release has been on the hot search, and everyone knows about it.

But Lu Jiao, as a reborn person, knows more than that. She suddenly remembered that Tianhe had just faced the dilemma of its largest investor running away, leaving a gap of 50 million in funds to be filled. Although someone was found to fill the gap later, it also caused a famous scandal in the history of talent shows. The vote-rigging was exposed, and the debut position was sold for 50 million. The popular election was not as good as the capital.

Although 50 million was nothing when the idol economy was popular, it was a considerable investment at this time.

The current prospects of this variety show are unknown. Although it was issued by Tianhe, Tianhe was also hindered by several large investments. The most important thing is that Tianhe is not optimistic about this program. Only the vice president of the film and television department strongly supports this program.

Later, the vice president took the director to negotiate cooperation with several companies, but when you cooperate, you always have to be ripped off. Although the 50 million was received, four debut positions were reserved.

Although the director was very smart during the filming and did not show the reservation too obviously, it was exposed on the debut night that he had rigged tickets, and the audience cursed him. After the training group was formed, they did not get the expected income, and the dogs passing by had to spit at the program team.

Lu Jiao watched this program in her previous life, and at that time she thought with regret that if there was no reservation, this program might have reached a new height.

But now, Lu Jiao can give the program team this 50 million.

She turned her eyes to a reward in the system backpack that she had never used.

After rebirth, the system functions were reset, and the initial amount she could invest was directly reduced to 100,000. The artist binding and task progress were both zero, but the rewards she won in the previous life were not reset, but there was only one reward left.

- Gambling agreement with the system.

As the name suggests, when the amount provided by the system is less than the amount the host wants to invest, in order to improve the efficiency of the host's task completion, the host can bet with the system based on the task progress of a certain artist, and can ask the system for a maximum investment of 10 billion. The system will reasonably evaluate the task value that the artist can achieve after accepting this amount based on the investment amount.

If it is not reached, the task value will be reset, and the host will be required to repay the system investment amount including interest.

[Are you sure you are using this function now? 】

Lu Jiao thought very openly: "Sure."

This program is the most suitable for Qi Xing. Even if she lets the director get 50 million from other places, Qi Xing is destined not to achieve the success she wants without debuting. It is better to invest 50 million to give Qi Xing a fair competition environment.

[Calculating the task progress that Party B needs to achieve——]

[Task: Within two months, Qi Xing will achieve 30% achievement. ]

[The 50 million investment amount will be deposited into your card in five minutes. I wish you good luck in your task. ]

-Tianhe

Media.

"Next Stop Idol" program team.

The house was filled with smoke, and the vice president of Tianhe and the program team leaders were smoking with sad faces.

"Lao Gao, Qisheng and Tianlai have agreed to invest, but as a requirement, the artists they put in must debut," the vice president took a puff of cigarette and told the director the news he had just heard from the meeting. The

director slammed the table and said angrily: "What do they think of this program! A tool to manipulate at will?!"

The vice president shrugged his shoulders: "There is no way, they know that we are short of investment, and the program is about to be recorded at the last minute. How can we continue without money?"

The director turned his head to the side and took a deep breath without saying a word.

The assistant director came over to act as a peacemaker, "Old Gao, it's just a few debut spots. It's worth investing 50 million to get two spots."

The director was furious, "What do you mean by just a few debut spots!"

He was about to say something else, but then he let out a sigh and lay down on the chair with his face covered.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Hey, are you worried? You haven't attracted investment yet, have you?"

The person who pushed the door in was Sun Hang, the old rival of director Gao Shu. Both of them were directors of Tianhe, but Sun Hang was more successful than Gao Shu. His new variety show was directly rated as an S-level variety show, and investors had to scramble to invest.

Gao Shuo's variety show is only an A-level variety show. The amount of investment and the attention from the top management cannot be compared with Sun Hang's. Moreover, the investor ran away at the critical moment. Sun Hang, his old rival, came to mock him every few days.

He knew that the investment Gao Shuo had brought in had other requirements. He felt that he was superior to Gao Shuo and said to him, "Old Gao, 50 million in exchange for a few debut positions is also a recognition of your show. Don't be so stubborn. Everyone in the world comes for profit. You are just too arrogant."

Gao Shu sneered: "Being a lackey of the investor like you, you add people at will and want to write every line in the script?"

Sun Hang was furious: "Then rely on your backbone to find investment!"

These words really touched Gao Shu's heart. Since the biggest investor ran away, he had thought about whether the investor did not trust the prospects of this program. Although he was able to raise 50 million later, it also meant that the fairness of the program was destroyed.

But he did not show weakness in front of his old rival: "Don't worry, my show is definitely more popular than yours, just go and cool off with your lackey variety show!"

Sun Hang snorted: "You are always bragging here, but I don't see how popular your show is. I begged and pleaded to find an investor." As soon as he finished speaking,

Gao Shu's phone rang in his pocket. It was the person in charge of the investment department calling, and he picked it up.

"...What, someone wants to invest?" He listened to the person on the other end of the phone for a while, and was surprised: "How much is the investment? 50 million in full? Is it true? Do you have any additional requirements?"

Sun Hang pricked up his ears.

"Yes, the person in charge said that the investment is 50 million, there is no requirement for the debut position, and if it is confirmed, the payment can be made on the spot."

Gao Shuo stood up excitedly, "Okay, okay, do you want us to go find her?"

At this time, he saw Sun Hang eavesdropping on him, and he moved away from Sun Hang so that Sun Hang could only hear his voice.

Gao Shuo: "Okay, I understand. Three o'clock this afternoon, right? She will come directly to the company? Okay, I understand."

Gao Shuo hung up the phone after a round of polite talk. He turned around and saw the burning eyes of Sun Hang and the vice president, and smiled and said, "Someone has decided to invest. Come to the company in person at five o'clock in the afternoon to talk!"

Sun Hang's eyes widened. He never expected that someone would really come to invest, but the people from the program group next to him surrounded the director to celebrate, so he could only snort coldly and slam the door and leave.

While everyone was asking the director for details, Lu Jiaogang and Qi Xing packed up and prepared to go out.

Relying on the memory of the previous life, he recalled the phone number of the person in charge of Tianhe. After verifying the capital, he told them that it was not difficult to decide to invest in the program "Next Stop Idol".

After all, Tianhe still had a sense of distrust towards this program, and only the vice president was busy with it. It was not until the explosion of "Next Stop Idol" that these doubts were shattered, and the vice president took the position of president three years later with the income brought by this program.

The most important thing now is to buy daily necessities for Qi Xing.

At present, there is only a 100,000 yuan investment quota for Qi Xing, which may seem small compared to the 50 million yuan that is about to be spent, but a 100,000 yuan quota can be used for a while now. After all, Qi Xing has not appeared in the public eye yet, so there is no need to invest in entertainment for him. Buying him a few clothes and daily necessities will be enough.

When I went out, I saw my neighbor. During this period of time, the two of them basically came out to get takeout at the same time, so they could chat when they had nothing to do. The neighbor seemed to want to go out too. When she saw Lu Jiao, she just wanted to say hello, but she saw the boy coming out behind Lu Jiao. The hello stopped abruptly and she almost bit her tongue.

Qi Xing followed behind Lu Jiao, holding a garbage bag in his hand, locked the door and cast his eyes on the neighbor.

"Is this your boyfriend?" The neighbor had always thought that Lu Jiao lived alone, and was inevitably surprised to see a strange handsome guy suddenly appear.

"No, he's my friend," Lu Jiao quickly denied.

Qi Xing nodded in response, and the neighbor said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

But this boy is quite handsome. Although he wears a mask, his figure and exposed eyebrows can tell that he is definitely a handsome guy, the neighbor thought as he walked towards the elevator.

The three of them got into the elevator together. They lived on the top floor. The elevator stopped several times and many people came in.

The neighbor was squeezed into a corner, and subconsciously looked at Lu Jiao and the other person, and saw the tall boy holding her neighbor in his arms, and lowering his head slightly. Lu Jiao was tightly surrounded by him, and only a little corner of his clothes could be seen. The boy looked focused, and he didn't even look at his phone, but stared at the top of Lu Jiao's head. After staring for a long time, he hesitantly raised his hand to flatten the few strands of Lu Jiao's flying hair.

It was poking my chin, it was so itchy.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and people swarmed out. Lu Jiao subconsciously protected himself with a vest.

The location of this house is very good, and it is only a five-minute walk to the large shopping mall next to it. Arriving at the mall, Lu Jiao took Ma Jia and went straight to the mobile phone store. After five minutes of selection, she applied for a mobile phone card in the business hall next to it. Lu Jiao felt that she had completed the first priority.

As a modern person, how can you

live without a mobile phone? ! Even Ma Jia can't.

The first floor of the mall is mostly cosmetics and various high-end accessories. Lu Jiao just glanced at it and took Ma Jia to the second floor. Ma Jia held one hand and flexibly installed various necessary software on the phone with the other hand.

Most of the second floor is clothing. She went into a more famous men's clothing store.

After arriving, Qi Xing casually put his mobile phone in his pocket. Lu Jiao started from the door and compared the clothes he liked to Qi Xing. Qi Xing also cooperated and stood up straight.

The clerk came over to introduce the new products, and Lu Jiao listened disjointedly. After listening to the clerk introduce the new products in the store, she curiously followed the clerk to the middle of the store. Qi Xing, who had long legs, arrived first and took the clothes that the clerk introduced enthusiastically from her hands. He held them on his body to compare them, turned around and asked Lu Jiao, "How about this dress?"

Lu Jiao took a few steps back, his eyes lit up, "Not bad, this dress suits you very well!"

The clerk said with a tactful look, "The fitting room is next to it, you can go try it on."

Qi Xing took off his hat, handed Lu Jiao's bag and mobile phone to Lu Jiao, and walked towards the fitting room.

The clerk helped her put her things on the sofa and handed her a glass of water. Lu Jiao was browsing other clothes in the store with the water in her hand. The clerk followed her and introduced her, "The clothes in your hand are fake two-pieces, very casual for daily wear. Yours - is it convenient to ask if he is yours?" "

A friend."

"Your friend is very young, and our store specializes in clothes for young people. He can put together a full set of clothes here. I recommend it to you," the clerk nodded to show that he understood, and after sighing that the brother and sister were both good-looking, he recommended it to her.

Lu Jiao was led by her to look at several sets of clothes, and finally selected three sets.

Qi Xing just came out of the fitting room, and Lu Jiao clapped his hands in satisfaction, "This set is good, buy it!"

Qi Xing raised his eyebrows and before he could smile, he heard Lu Jiao say, "Here are three more sets, come and try them on."

He followed Lu Jiao's hand and looked at the three clothes on the sofa in disbelief, then turned back to look at Lu Jiao in silence. Lu Jiao didn't care about his thoughts at all. After all, the conversation between the two was just for the clerk to see. She said, "Do you want to go around this mall to buy clothes? It's better to choose in one store. I don't have the energy to run up and down with you to choose clothes." "

..."

Qi Xing walked into the fitting room silently.

Lu Jiao was too lazy to go shopping, so she sat on the sofa, seemingly playing with her mobile phone, but in fact most of her consciousness was devoted to Qi Xing.

After entering and taking off the clothes she had just changed, Lu Jiao first touched her belly and was shocked: "You really have eight abdominal muscles?"

She took the opportunity to touch it again before starting to change clothes.

...I thought it was an illusion that I accidentally touched just now.

After changing clothes and coming out, Lu Jiao swiped the card with satisfaction and took Qi Xing away. By the way, he took Qi Xing to stroll around the jewelry store. It was almost time to meet Tianhe.

Qi Xing put the things back home first, and Lu Jiao took a taxi to Tianhe headquarters.
