Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

That's how things are in life; a good thing can be accompanied by unexpected troubles, so we can only take it one step at a time.

However, Bai Weiran and Qin Ning tacitly avoided mentioning these points to Mengmeng.

Things in the world are always full of amazing coincidences. In this world, they secretly handle Mengmeng's legal issues.

In the mission world, the yandere idol trainee Xiaoxi also faces legal issues.

Chapter 44 Claiming credit for the work of Heaven as one's own (3K)

As Bai Weiran requested, Xiao hope was eliminated from the talent show without any chance of debuting.

This action triggered an even bigger wave of online criticism. Xiao hope's supporters rioted, saying that this was undoubtedly a rigged operation and that the program team was overly promoting the "royal family" (a term used to describe celebrities who are favored by celebrities). In order to protect their own artists, the TV station and various agencies mobilized their online trolls to engage in online battles with these rioting supporters.

Xiao hope was suddenly thrust into the spotlight—

Bai Weiran was well aware of the consequences of his actions.

Amidst the clamor of public opinion surrounding Xiaoxi, she mysteriously disappeared from the company dormitory.

Surprised?

She was locked in a dark room by Bai Weiran.

While the other yanderes were all locked in dark rooms to correct their morbid behavior, Xiao hope was locked in a dark room to avoid the limelight.

You can't stop a sensitive, yandere from reading these online attacks and getting caught in a vortex of hysterical emotions. The best way is to cut ties! Cut ties decisively!

At the height of the public outcry, Bai Weiran cut off all contact between Xiao hope and the outside world, allowing her to use this time as a break.

She used to travel around day and night to shoot promotional videos and commercials, while also recording shows. She stayed in the practice room until dawn every day. This non-stop high-intensity work was something even a grown man like him couldn't handle.

Xiao hope wasn't angry about not being selected, and she didn't resist being locked in a dark room. She happily and obediently accepted the arrangement.

All of this is thanks to Nana.

After the success of the previous experimental recording, Bai Weiran discovered that he could use his mobile phone to let Xiao hope and Nana hear each other's voices and communicate through recordings.

Seeing how happy they were, Bai Weiran was happy for them too, but at the same time felt a little apologetic.

He couldn't leave his phone with them, fearing another accidental time travel like Mengmeng's. As the mission progressed, Xiaoxi's condition improved day by day, and he would eventually leave this world, leaving the two of them without a bridge to communicate.

It's right beside me, yet I can't touch it, I can't hear it—

God, sometimes you can be really cruel.

He leaned against the balcony of the small dark room, watching Nana and Xiaoxi chat on his phone.

Xiao hope pressed record, played a short melody, and then asked Nana what she thought.

The two of them are using his phone to co-write a song.

Nana has a lot of wildly imaginative inspirations, which she has accumulated over the years and hummed to Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi then played the tunes and wrote them down as sheet music.

The idea of ​​a teenage girl working together to create something sounds wonderful, but the reality is quite different.

"No, that's not how I did it! I was going to transpose the B section! Transposing it to a minor key would have a more melancholic feel. How could you transpose my minor key back to a major key? The atmosphere is all wrong now! You can't change it like that! Change it back!!" Nana retorted unhappily after hearing Xiaoxi's performance, her voice rising an octave higher than usual.

"You made it too sad by switching to a minor key. This song should be brighter and more cheerful. Maintaining a major key will give it a stable rhythm and make it easier to sing along to—" Xiao hope retorted, sticking to her own opinion.

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow.

Discussing the song (error)

The idea of ​​arguing loudly (correct)

There is no right or wrong in creation; subjective opinions vary widely. Both of them are people who insist on their own opinions. Composing a piece is like fighting a war. They argue endlessly about professional issues, from the key of the piece to the choice of instruments to changing the rhythm from 4/3 time to 8/6 time.

Xiao hope scolded Nana for not understanding current market trends, to which Nana retorted that she was by her side every day and knew exactly what she was doing.

She knows everything, and she knows even more.

Bai Weiran thought leisurely, "Girls are like that too; a little bickering makes their relationship stronger."

He suddenly snapped back to reality and saw that the two pink-haired girls had already turned the conversation to him, speaking in unison.

"Mr. William, which version do you think is better?"

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow and listened to both versions with a serious expression.

But he knew perfectly well that his best friend's argument was just like his lover's argument. When lovers argue, you should never side with one of them, or they'll hold a grudge against you when you make up. It's the same with his best friend. Whoever he sided with, once they made up, it would all be his fault.

Bai Weiran used his smooth talk, a product of his seasoned workplace experience and strategic planning skills.

After listening to Nana's original version and then to Xiaoxi's modified version, I did a bunch of haphazard analysis.

There's a trick to this kind of analysis of slackers.

Try to use vague and ambiguous adjectives.

It possesses a magnificent and sweeping beauty, but seems to lack some detailed depiction; it has a melancholic temperament that gives people a noble feeling, but within that nobility, it seems to lack some simple and touching human emotions.

Xiao hope and Nana are young and haven't experienced the despicable life of a slacker or corporate slave. They were swayed by his ethereal remarks and both of them put their hands in their pockets and tilted their heads to think about it.

Bai Weiran looked at them, smiled slightly, and then turned her attention back to the important matter at hand.

They've pretty much exhausted the agency.

The agency that Xiaoxi is currently signed with is unwilling to let her go easily.

Even if the public opinion is overwhelming and the online attacks by trolls are really bad, being famous despite being infamous is still being famous. For small and medium-sized entertainment companies, if they can produce a famous idol, the entire company can just wait to bleed her dry to survive.

A large company was interested in buying Xiaoxi's management contract and had Xiaoxi's permission, but Xiaoxi's current management company is holding on tightly.

Xiao hope's original contract was too harsh, leaving her with no room to maneuver.

If one party wants it and the other doesn't, there are legal provisions in place, and it cannot be forcibly taken.

The legal disputes between the two parties have recently become extremely heated.

Bai Weiran thought that continuing to make trouble would not be good for Xiao hope. Her current agency wouldn't let her go, while big companies would never lack resources and new talent. Once this wave of hype passed, Xiao hope's valuation would drop, and she wouldn't be able to sign a good contract.

A person's compensation is not determined by their ability, but by the company's valuation of them from the moment the contract is signed.

It's a box as soon as it lands; the moment it lands, it's a box.

Netizens are fighting, legal professionals are fighting, and Bai Weiran is hiding Xiao hope away.

He didn't actively threaten the agency's executives to give up; this time, he adopted a roundabout strategy, waiting for the right moment—

You can stand up for her once or twice, but you can't protect her every time.

The techniques combine strength and gentleness, employing the Tai Chi hand gesture to deflect great force with minimal effort, adapting to all changes with unchanging principles.

The agency wanted to keep Xiaoxi because they were after the profits she brought. Now that she's disappeared, she's no longer bringing any profit to the company. In addition to not bringing any profit, she's also being harassed by the legal departments of other companies every day, facing both internal and external troubles.

Capitalists dislike anything that doesn't generate profit; they'll tolerate harming others, but they won't tolerate anything that doesn't benefit themselves.

He hid Xiao hope away, and the agency dared not make a fuss, even helping to cover it up.

During this time, he secretly sold Xiaoxi's agency contract to a large company to recoup his losses.

He has been checking the progress with both parties, and the brokerage contract has been transferred today.

Nana and Xiaoxi are still arguing.

Bai Weiran's head was throbbing from the noise, so he came up with an idea.

“Let’s film a video!” he said.

"Shoot videos and put them online, let the market vote and judge which one is better."

Recorded by Bai Weiran, and two versions were sung and played by Xiao Xi herself, uploaded using Xiao hope's phone and account.

Xiao hope and Nana's duet couldn't be recorded with a regular phone, and the data on Bai Weiran's phone couldn't be transferred to Xiao hope's phone.

Video upload.

Bai Weiran experienced firsthand the power of the internet.

A day? Half a day? Both are too long.

Within two hours, the video garnered a staggering million views.

Bai Weiran then realized that he had been foolish.

He himself had little interest in and knowledge of pop music, and could not see the old mine glass-type jadeite hidden in the stone, but the masses could.

Xiao hope's popularity hadn't waned yet. Even though she hadn't updated her social media for several days, her supporters were still browsing her social media platform three times a day. As soon as they saw a new post on her account, they would flock to it.

The new song spread like wildfire, with the two versions neck and neck, sparking lively discussions and debates among the public.

Looking at the wildly rising numbers, Bai Weiran felt for the first time that perhaps he had chosen the wrong industry.

Is it too late to switch careers and become a real estate agent?

In this world, brokers operate on a commission system. With Xiao hope's talent and the upward trend she'll be enjoying in the next few years, financial freedom is within reach.

Sigh, the game projects I make aren't destined to become hits, while the yandere girls I mentor are becoming hits one after another.

To say more would only bring tears.

Nana and Xiaoxi were also extremely surprised, and they stood close together watching the numbers rise wildly.

Their faces were filled with undisguised joy, but they all looked at Bai Weiran, completely at a loss for what to do.

As time went by, they had subconsciously become reliant on Bai Weiran's guidance in chess.

Bai Weiran paused for a few seconds, then turned his phone upside down on the table, preventing the two from seeing the soaring numbers.

"It begins with appearance, is admired for talent, and is captivated by character," he said slowly.

The two pink-haired girls blinked in confusion.

"Your supporters like you because of your looks and persona, and now they admire your talent. The next step is to make them fall for your character."

That evening, Xiao hope posted another update.

All proceeds from that wildly popular video will be donated to the recent tsunami relief efforts.

There are still trolls trying to criticize, but the issue of donations is something that can't be easily refuted.

Even a young girl who has just become famous knows how to be responsible to society, while the keyboard warriors she's criticizing are just idiots.
