Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Bai Weiran shrugged, watching as the eerie Nana transformed back into her cute self, cowering, uneasy, and somewhat shy as she looked at Xiao hope.

"Xiao hope, I'm here! I'm right here!"

Bai Weiran: …………

You speak to her left cheek, while she looks to her right.

Bai Weiran gave up teasing them, stretched out his hand, turned Xiao Xi's face around, and pressed her down to look down, so that she was face to face with Nana, who was looking up.

"Here it is!"

Xiao hope can't actually see anything.

But she stretched out her palm and stopped in mid-air, as if pressing it against an invisible piece of glass.

Nana blinked, then reached out her hand, gently approaching, as if afraid of passing through; Nana touched it very cautiously.

“Here it is, Xiaoxi,” she whispered.

“Nana has always been here.”

Bai Weiran looked up at the ceiling.

Oh no, I feel like I'm getting old, and my tear threshold has become too low.

Xiao hope's show recording proceeded smoothly. The entertainment industry is just as demanding everywhere. Recording shows is always a long and arduous process. Today's recording was scheduled to continue until 3 a.m. Bai Weiran didn't leave. He stayed behind at the recording site, hovering behind a bunch of cameras. Nana climbed onto his shoulder again, watching the recording while curiously watching Bai Weiran open a book and read.

"The key to quickly becoming a top agent and establishing a persona and brand?" she muttered, pouting in disapproval.

"Mr. William, singers need real talent!"

"We should strive to bring smiles to everyone's faces, and songs can reach people's hearts."

"Xiao hope already has amazing skills, what she needs is an opportunity! An opportunity to be seen by everyone!"

Bai Weiran hummed in agreement and turned the page.

"Everything you said is right."

His tone was full of perfunctory attitude.

Nana was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she passed away, and her personality remained at that age. She was an innocent, straightforward, and optimistic girl who didn't know how to deal with Bai Weiran, a cunning and shrewd office worker. She realized that Bai Weiran was ignoring her, but she couldn't understand what Bai Weiran was thinking, so she frowned.

Mr. William is a good man, but he is difficult to understand.

Bai Weiran is thinking about Xiao hope's future.

Nana is right. Xiaoxi is indeed capable and good-looking. Even though he only comes to check on the recording occasionally, it's clear that among the 48 participating girls, Xiaoxi is in the top tier.

If there's no behind-the-scenes manipulation, he'll definitely debut.

Of course, even if there were any insider dealings, he could counter them.

The problem arose after their debut.

Everything she does will be magnified and scrutinized, and the number of criticisms and praises will explode. Her yandere personality is sensitive and she can't handle this kind of tug-of-war.

On a screen, even the slightest loss of control will be magnified and scrutinized.

Yandere is bound to lose control, so we can't follow the traditional bright and innocent girl idol persona. Creating a persona for her is too important, and we must also include her crazy personality.

Even before he came to the mission world, he wasn't just slacking off every day; he always did some work.

Bai Weiran has been referencing many of today's top idols lately, but none of the conclusions he has drawn are very applicable.

"Why not return to simplicity?" Bai Weiran closed the book.

Nana, who was clinging to him, clapped her hands and turned her head in confusion.

"what?"

"Nana, stay away from me for a bit."

Nana did as she was told and stepped back, and Bai Weiran disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"...?"

After waiting for a full two hours, Bai Weiran reappeared in front of Nana, just in time for the recording of Xiao hope's interview segment on the show.

Bai Weiran held his phone in one hand, checking it, and occasionally glanced up at it.

Nana curiously leaned closer to look at the calendar filled with work schedules.

"…………? What is this, Mr. William?"

"Xiao hope's work."

"Ah!?" Nana's pupils dilated in surprise.

Xx

"Really? There are really that many job requests?" Xiao hope put down the hot towel she was wiping her face in surprise, looked at Bai Weiran sitting in the driver's seat, holding a book titled "On How to Manage the Pain Points of Weak Personas" in his hand, and looked very relaxed. The accelerator and steering wheel turned on their own as they drove back to the dormitory.

This time, Bai Weiran's actions were much more practical than before; he didn't fly around with the mission targets.

Instead, he dutifully drove her to and from school.

After all, as an idol trainee, with program recordings and constant exposure to the public eye, it's one thing to suddenly disappear back to the dormitory once or twice, but if it goes on for too long, it will raise suspicions.

I haven't even seen you leave, and you're already home?

He had no intention of creating a superpowered idol label for Xiao hope.

“Yes, so from now on we need to eat well and sleep well,” he said, turning another page of his book, responding while multitasking.

Xiao hope clung to the back of the chair, opened her mouth, then closed it again, her heart pounding wildly. She wanted to ask more questions, but she was also afraid of Bai Weiran's superhuman abilities and worried that he would get angry, so she hesitated.

But at that moment, her excitement far outweighed her fear.

Idols who haven't debuted yet have no fame and basically no work assignments.

So everyone works hard, hoping that one day they will stand on the stage and be seen by everyone, and that their work and fame will come rushing in.

Before the talent show even aired, this strange masked agent had already gotten her a job.

"What...what kind of job is it?" she couldn't help but ask.

My first formal commission in my life —

“Yes, it’s a very good job.” Bai Weiran shrugged.

"It is an important national product with a wide audience, high affinity, strong national recognition, and no adverse concerns. You are the first idol spokesperson."

Xiao hope covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, while Nana screamed loudly beside her.

"A nationally important product, its first idol spokesperson! Wow, Xiao hope, you're going to be a star!!"

"Thank you, Mr. William, thank you so much!!! You're such a wonderful person!! A super top-notch agent!!"

Bai Weiran remained silent, his fingers tracing a line of text on the page, the printed characters beneath his fingers highlighted in his notes.

He who controls third- and fourth-tier cities controls the world.

On the weekend, at the filming location, Xiaoxi and Nana were both stunned.

What place is this?

The vast rice paddies stretch endlessly, and a gentle breeze stirs the pale yellow wildflowers along the edges of the fields.

Where's the stage?

Where's the cameraman? Where are the makeup artists?

Bai Weiran smiled and reached out his hand to a kind-looking old man with a hunched back wearing a straw hat.

"Village chief, thank you for letting us film this."

"No, no, this is the first time such a young and beautiful girl has been willing to come and film a local promotional video for free, to revitalize the economy of our Daoxiang Village. I'm very touched; there aren't many young people like this anymore—"

"How could that be? It is our duty to revitalize the local economy."

Watching the two adults deferring to each other, Xiaoxi and Nana tilted their heads at the same time.

Waaah, I feel like I've been sold off by a bad adult—

Chapter Thirteen: The Making of a Yandere Idol (Part Two) (3K)

Bai Weiran was chatting with the village chief about everything from rice to the local industrial chain. The village chief was very enthusiastic and asked him three questions in between the serious conversation.

"Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I have a niece, she's very pretty—"

"When will the young man come to propose marriage to my niece?"

Bai Weiran: ...The village elder is too enthusiastic.

Until a woman wearing a straw hat came over and muttered a few words, Bai Weiran understood and smiled, saying that he would handle it, and went directly to the preparation area surrounded by four simple pieces of floral cloth.

"I heard you don't want to work anymore?"

Xiao hope blushed, looking aggrieved and bewildered, and pointed to the inflatable costume in front of her—a large porcelain bowl filled with rice, with a red paper slogan on the bowl: "Daohua Village, fragrant rice flowers, smell the aroma of rice when you come home today."

“No, Mr. William, it’s not that I hate my job, but I’m a celebrity idol—”

"No idol singer does this kind of work!"

"The image of an idol singer is very important!"

Bai Weiran was very understanding of Xiao hope's accusations.

There is indeed no precedent for such a down-to-earth idol in this world.

Idols are dreamlike beings created on stage.

Wearing pretty little dresses, they sing and dance cute or sexy and glamorous dances.

But Bai Weiran has already decided not to let Xiao hope take the conventional path.

Teenagers who have lived in information cocoons for so long have such a limited cognitive scope that they cannot see the problems and possibilities in life that lie ahead; they only know how to imitate what is best at present.

Xiao hope isn't Qin Ning yet; she doesn't have the innate business acumen and high-level vision that comes with being quick to understand things, and she's incredibly stubborn.
