How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 127 Can the speed of being slapped in the face keep up with the speed of an apology?

Without saying anything more, the agent led Luo Xi directly to the company's main building and into the elevator. Floors one through thirty-five of this building had ordinary commuter elevators with employees coming and going, but from the thirty-fifth floor upwards, there were special elevators with security services including card swiping and facial recognition. The interiors were spacious and luxuriously decorated, with padded seats on both sides, and the ascent was very slow.

It wasn't until they entered the elevator, in the enclosed, ascending space, that agent Yuan Yu revealed to Luo Xi: "That night, the sponsor of Baozhi came to cause you trouble. He said you maliciously slandered and insulted him, and demanded that we handle this matter."

Luo Xi immediately understood: "Then let him come! He's the one harassing the trainees. I told you that night, the hotel gym's security camera footage can prove it!"

"That video has been deleted and proves nothing."

“I have a clear video recording,” Luo Xi said, looking at Yuan Yu.

After learning about Luo Xi's experience that night, 041 was so angry that he immediately hacked the hotel's surveillance system and saved the video evidence. Although it still cost Luo Xi some points to get his hands on it, because the system did not provide the function.

In addition, Luo Xi did not release the video because she was worried that Ming Ning would be exposed and it would affect his debut. But now that the pervert has come knocking on her door, what else can she do?

Luo Xi said angrily, "If he's going to cause me trouble, then I'll release the video and ruin his reputation!"

Yuan Yu shook his head. "You're too naive, Enxi. You might not even have a place to announce your name before he starts suing you relentlessly and spreading rumors and slanders against you in the media. He doesn't need to maintain his image, and he doesn't lack time, money, or connections. This kind of psychopath will keep dragging you along. You're a newcomer with no name at all. In the end, who do you think will win?"

“This matter can be a big deal or a small deal. If handled properly, it can be left behind. Now, after our discussion, he agrees to your apology as a form of reconciliation, but you have to apologize to him in person.”

Yuan Yu's tone was full of helplessness.

“I know you’re not convinced. To be honest, if it were in the past, Mo Ri wouldn’t have accepted sponsorship from someone with a criminal record, or even let such a person in. But the company is at a critical juncture right now, and Bao Zhi is involved in many financial matters. Even if we know he’s abusing his power, there’s nothing we can do.”

"What do you mean?"

"The company is on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Huh?" 041 and Rosie were both shocked.

The agent gave him a concise and clear explanation of the company's situation.

Formerly known as Tianwan Entertainment, MoRi Entertainment was acquired by the current MoRi president, Bai Qiu, 20 years ago and has since developed into one of the top five entertainment companies in China.

In July of this year, Bai Xi, the younger brother of Bai Qiu, the president of Mo Ri, was arrested and sentenced to death for suspected corruption. The company's financial fraud was also exposed. Bai Xi had been embezzling company funds for his personal expenses and providing gambling funds for his father. When the financial fraud was exposed, the company's cash flow was almost completely broken and it was in a state of serious deficit that could not operate.

After Bai Qiu's younger brother was sentenced to death, his mother died of illness due to the shock. Unable to bear it all, Bai Qiu attempted suicide by jumping off a building. Fortunately, he was discovered and rescued in time, and miraculously recovered without serious injury.

Because "My Favorite Treasure 101" was a project that had been in preparation for several years, and later received investment from Fang Jing and various brand sponsorships, the entire program was successfully completed. Thanks to the popularity of the program, the company's valuation rebounded, and Mo Ri recovered a wave of funds and was able to barely resume operations.

Hearing this information that couldn't be found online, Luo Xi asked, "Is this why we postponed our debut?"

“I don’t know the specific reason either. But I guess it’s an internal management problem. The company sold a lot of shares this year, and the management is in chaos. Your debut is not up to the company to decide... Putting that aside, you will definitely debut, after all, so much has been invested. But for now, let’s solve the immediate problem first.”

"You need to take a proper stance on this and apologize sincerely, then end it here."

Luo Xi felt the anger from before return: "We can't just expose this pervert to the public, and now I have to apologize to him? This is too much... I simply can't accept it!"

041 also supports Luo Xi: [Don't apologize! Don't bow down to evil people! 041 supports you!]

"Even if you can disregard your own future, you can't just ignore ILitter's upcoming debut, can you? You're constantly being sued, how long are you going to delay your debut?"

Yuan Yu had to emphasize his words.

"Don't act impulsively! It's bad for you and for the whole group!"

Luo Xi was speechless.

The elevator arrived, and the doors opened. Yuan Yu gave her one last instruction, "You don't have to talk if you don't want to. Our CEO Qin is here, and CEO Bai is on his way back to the company and should be here soon. We'll all speak for you. Just don't say anything inappropriate and show some respect. Do you understand?"

Luo Xi said reluctantly, "I'll see how it goes."

Luo Xi followed Yuan Yu through the black carved wooden door he pushed open, entering an elegantly styled living room with a simple, independent black sofa and a heavy wooden square coffee table.

"Enxi is here. President Xu said you have some misunderstanding about him, so he called you here to clear things up."

Vice President Qin Tian, ​​whom she had met before, sat on the sofa and greeted Luo Xi.

"Misunderstanding? Mr. Qin, you're oversimplifying things."

Xu Pu, sitting on the other side of the sofa, glanced smugly at Luo Xi and sneered, "How did you talk to me before? Do you want to say it again for everyone to hear?"

……

Luo Xi was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do. In her mind, 041 kept telling her to fight the pervert and throw the evidence in his face; in reality, Yuan Yu and Qin Tian were pleading for reconciliation in a low voice, and she kept being asked to apologize.

Luo Xi stood rooted to the spot with his head down.

After mocking Luo Xi a few times, Xu Pu stood up and walked in front of her. Before he could slap her, he was suddenly drawn to Luo Xi's face.

The cold, stern face beneath her medium-length black hair softened slightly with a touch of bewilderment, revealing the delicate beauty of her features and adding a touch of allure for the viewer.

The expression of disgust yet helplessness struck Xu Pu hard; this humiliated look suited his taste perfectly, and he changed his mind again.

"Now that I think about it, you're not bad looking either." He lowered his hand, revealing a greasy smile. "Make amends by letting me take him out for one night, and we'll be even."

"Are you kidding me? Our child is about to debut, how can he go out and play?" Yuan Yu immediately blocked Luo Xi behind him and said to Xu Pu, "Eun Xi, apologize quickly. I'm sorry, our trainee is too ignorant."

"I think I've made myself perfectly clear. If I withdraw my investment from you, won't I still be unable to debut?"

Yuan Yu remained standing in front of Luo Xi, apologizing. An awkward silence fell over the room.

"Why did it start before I even arrived?"

Amidst the crisp sound of leather shoes, a mature man in a dark gray suit walked in. Tall and imposing, with a sharply defined face and angular eyebrows, he resembled an actor. A smile played on his lips as he spoke in a lighthearted tone, completely different from the somber atmosphere.

At the same time, a series of electric shocks suddenly exploded in Luo Xi's mind.

[Rosie...System...buzzing...]

"041?"

[...Buzzing...Connection...Interference...041 is attempting to reconnect...]

Then, the sound of 041, along with the electrical noise, completely disappeared.

"041??"

No matter how much Luo Xi called out in her mind, the system did not respond.
