Growth-type Super Rich

Chapter 272: Debut Night (Part 2)


Xu Beibei is a student at Sichuan Music College, and many of Jay Chou's songs are used as teaching material at music academies. It's safe to say that many of the new generation of academic singers are fans of Jay Chou, and Xu Beibei is no exception. Despite having rehearsed many times, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

"The sparrows outside the window chatter on the power line

You say this line has a summer feeling

The pencil in your hand goes back and forth on the paper

I use a few lines to describe who you are to me..."

Xu Beibei's clear voice rang out, instantly giving the song a different flavor.

With Xu Beibei's youthful and vibrant appearance and Jay Chou's enthusiastic accompaniment, the audience's enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

Jay Chou also took the microphone from the piano and said to Xu Beibei with a playful tone: "Hey, not bad!"

Then he followed with Xu Beibei's lyrics and continued singing.

"The taste of the saury, the cat and you both want to understand

The scent of first love was thus rediscovered by us..."

As soon as Jay Chou's voice came out, the audience's enthusiasm soared again, instantly joining Jay Chou and Xu Beibei in chorus.

Sitting in the VIP section, Gu Bai lightly tapped his fingers on his crossed leg, humming along softly to the rhythm.

Principal Wang sat next to Gu Bai and shook his head helplessly with a smile, "Hey Gu Bai, playing like this is no fun, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"Originally, Black Swan Entertainment already spent who knows how much on marketing to get your sister exposure. Now, you have Jay Chou accompany her at the finals. Are you afraid the other contestants won't lose badly enough?

If you do this, you might as well directly appoint the spot for your sister.

Aren't you afraid that someone will cause trouble later, and the overwhelming public opinion will crush you?"

Gu Bai shrugged nonchalantly upon hearing Principal Wang's words.

"If they want, they can complain however they like. Do you think I care?"

Principal Wang rolled his eyes, "Then at least give the other contestants a chance, won't you?"

"How am I not giving them a chance? Aren't Dr. Chen and the others coming up next? They're about the same status.

If we had more time, I'd want to invite Britney, Avril, and Taylor Swift all to support Beibei. That would really be bullying."

Listening to Gu Bai's arrogant words, Principal Wang could only continue to roll his eyes silently.

There's no way to reason with this sister-loving fanatic.

Upon hearing Gu Bai's words, the surrounding celebrities also began making mental notes to establish good relations with Xu Beibei. Getting Xu Beibei's friendship would definitely earn Gu Bai's favor.

Gu Bai briefly observed the reactions of the stars and subtly nodded his head.

He said those words intentionally for them to hear, exposing Xu Beibei's identity as his sister so that these so-called "seniors" would take better care of her, since he couldn't always keep an eye on the entertainment industry.

A few minutes later, Xu Beibei finished her performance and Jay Chou also stepped off the stage, preparing to sit beside Gu Bai.

"Thanks a lot to Chairman Zhou this time."

Jay Chou's butt hadn't even touched the seat when he heard Gu Bai's words of thanks, then stiffened and said, "Chairman Gu, you're too kind. After all, I'm just working for money."

"Though that's true, given your current status, it's really beneath you to assist a newcomer."

With Gu Bai speaking like this, Jay Chou couldn't say much more and could only smile in agreement.

Seeing Jay Chou's reaction, Gu Bai could only shake his head slightly in helplessness.

The status difference between them was too pronounced. As someone he admired greatly in his previous life, treating him with such respect brought about indescribable emotions.

No wonder ancient emperors called themselves lonely rulers; once one's status reaches a certain level, indeed, one becomes a lone figure.

...........

And so he spent the hours watching the program while chatting with Jay Chou, Principal Wang, and others.

As the voting phase concluded, Xu Beibei secured the top spot with 17 million real-time votes on Weibo, while Wu Xuanyi in second place had just over 4 million votes. Yang Chaoyue was slightly behind Wu Xuanyi with a few tens of thousands of votes, securing third place.

A large part of Xu Beibei's 17 million votes was thanks to Jay Chou's fans.

The final group formation was confirmed.

Xu Beibei, Xu Mengjie, Wu Xuanyi, Yang Chaoyue, Duan Juan, Yamy, Lai Meiyun, Zhang Zining, Yang Yaqing, Li Ziting, Fu Jing.

Apart from the addition of Xu Beibei, it's not much different from the previous life.

11 girls, full of youthful vigor, stood at the center of the stage, enjoying the cheers of 100,000 spectators.

Especially for a few girls who had debuted before but never really shone, feeling the spotlight and audience cheers brought them to tears of excitement.

The host stood in front of the 11 girls, facing the camera with excitement, saying, "Next, let's welcome Chairman of the Black Swan Group and President of the Black Swan Charity Foundation, Hua Country's Youth Leader Mr. Gu Bai to come on stage to award and name the idol group."

After the host spoke, Gu Bai stood up, brushed off nonexistent dust, and slowly walked on stage.

All cameras focused on Gu Bai, while media in the audience captured the moment, preparing for tomorrow's report.

Gu Bai wore a pure white windbreaker, elegant in style, combined with the Bird's Nest venue spotlights, making him appear like a prince emerging from amidst mortals, instantly capturing everyone's attention. Regardless of gender, many couldn't help but sigh with admiration, and a few infatuated ones even swallowed in awe.

Gu Bai accepted the 11 diamond-studded headbands handed over by Long Dan Ni, stepped forward to the girls, and placed them on each one. Each headband was worth tens of thousands, and these 11 headbands were close to 2 million in total.

Especially when he reached Xu Beibei, he smiled and pinched her chubby little face.

The cameras captured this moment entirely.

Tomorrow, there might be reports about Gu Bai and Xu Beibei's "improper" relationship.

But since Gu Bai acted, he didn't care. Most people in the circle already know about his relationship with Xu Beibei, and a large portion of fans are also aware that Xu Beibei is his sister.

At this moment, announcing his relationship with Xu Beibei only brings benefits, not drawbacks.

After all, his influence can fully radiate on Xu Beibei, attracting countless fans for her.

After placing the headbands, Gu Bai took the host's microphone and smiled at the 11 girls, saying, "Now I announce that 'Creation 111' has come to a successful conclusion, and the 11 winners will form Rocket Girl 111 and successfully debut!"

The 11 girls first bowed deeply to Gu Bai in thanks, then turned to the audience around the stage to express gratitude.

After the thank-you process, Gu Bai continued, "Next, Black Swan Entertainment will take the 11 idol group members to Goryeo for a three-month training period, with all expenses covered by the company.

Additionally, I will personally reward each girl with 1 million RMB, hoping they will become famous on their idol journey."

Hearing Gu Bai's last words, Long Dan Ni was momentarily stunned.

According to the program procedures, there was no such thing as this; it was entirely Gu Bai's improvisation.

With this thought, Long Dan Ni quickly looked towards Gu Bai.

Seeing her gaze, Gu Bai gave her a reassuring look, then returned the microphone to the host.

In such a situation, Long Dan Ni could not ask Gu Bai anything but managed her expression to not appear too surprised.

She also knew her boss's temperament, treating money like it's nothing.

But thinking about the 11 girls totaling 11 million, Long Dan Ni still couldn't help but feel for Gu Bai's funds.

That 11 million would be enough for her to package a profitable traffic idol.

After Gu Bai finished speaking, he walked off stage with Long Dan Ni, not concerning himself with the upcoming procedures; things could go however they should.

As Gu Bai stepped off stage, the other 10 girls, besides Xu Beibei, sweetly called out to Gu Bai's back, "Thank you, boss!"

Gu Bai didn't even turn his head, his expression remained aloof as he returned to his seat.

Meanwhile, live stream comments were flooded with words of envy.

"The girl I've liked for two whole months is now all Gu Principal's employees... In the future, they will be at his mercy. Thinking about this, my tears wet my phone..."

"Am I the only one fixated on the personal reward of 1 million per person? That's 11 million, and even if I earn until my next life, I won't reach that... He just rewarded it with a single sentence..."

With many stars joining to sing together on stage, the debut night came to a perfect end.
