"Good job, girls!" Jay exclaid as soon as the mbers of LUNAIRE ended their debut showcase.
They all exchanged smiles before bursting into cheers.
Even i, whose personality was similar to June's, let out a small squeal out of excitent.
With Jay's assistance, the debut showcase beca a massive success.
The 5,000-capacity venue was filled to the brim, and their music video had garnered over a million views in only two hours!
Aside from that, they had broken through the top 100 of the Durian charts at number 32. Although it didn't reach number 1 like Oasis did, it was still a great achievent for a debut group.
The girls broke their hug and turned to Jay.
"Thank you for being here with us, sir," Mina said. "We wouldn't have done it without you." Jay, despite feeling tired, cracked a smile. "Of course. Your manager suddenly beca the CEO, so it's expected for to step up as the director of managent."
"Aren't you upset that you didn't accompany the boys to China?" Ara asked.
Jay chuckled and patted their heads. "I believe those boys are doing fine in the Jade Music Festival."
i imdiately frowned as soon as Jay said those words.
"Wait, can you repeat that again?" she asked.
"The Jade Music Festival?" Jay repeated.
i's frown deepened, making Jay and the other girls turn to her in worry.
"Why?" Jay asked. "Is there sothing wrong with that?"
i had been so caught up in the debut showcase that she didn't notice that EVE was going to perform at the Jade Music Festival.
"The Jade Music Festival," she muttered.
"What?" Jay asked, suddenly feeling frantic.
"I think it would be great to search the words 'tomato' and 'EVE' right now."
anwhile, Lei, who had his separate room in the venue, relaxed in his seat as he watched the stocks of Azure Entertainnt go up.
With only just their debut song, LUNAIRE had skyrocketed to the top of the trends. Based on their records, it wasn't impossible for them to reach the top ten within a week!
He might not have been able to conquer Phoenix, but with Azure in his hands, he can still co closer to his goal-to beco the biggest entertainnt company in South Korea and monopolize the industry.
EVE and LUNAIRE would be his stepping stones to get there. However, he wasn't afraid to get rid of EVE when the ti ca-especially with what June did to his brother.
"Now, let's see," he said, switching to his other phone to scroll through his Weibee account.
He knew that EVE would have finished performing by now, and he wondered if his plan had worked.
Unless the world turned upside down, then it was most likely that it did.
Lei was aware that June knew Chinese since he could understand Lin Zhi to so extent. However, looking at his background, he was just a regular Korean student who took Chinese as an elective.
So, there was no way that he would be able to understand the intricacies of the language.
Lei went straight to the trends as he opened his account.
His eyes brightened in delight when he saw EVE at the top of the hot topic charts.
"Oh," he muttered. "What's this? They rose to number one so quickly? Did they do such an atrocious job?"
Even Jayden Chou, the legendary artist, was only second in rank!
Lei felt his heart race in excitent.
He clicked on EVE's na, expecting to see their group being trashed by the Chinese dia.
However, his smile quickly dropped when he saw that the articles were filled with praise. "EVE takes the Jade Music Festival by storm! The popular K-pop group beat all the C-pop groups that have perford."
"No tomatoes for EVE! Who would have thought that the best perforrs of the night would be a K-pop group? Analysts are amazed by this information!"
"Jayden Chou posts a photo with EVE, showcasing their striking visuals! He also praised the boys for doing his song justice."
Lei's frown deepened with every article he read.
Then, he went straight to Jayden Chou's profile, which had over 60 million followers.
The latest post was indeed with EVE, and it had garnered over 10 million views and a million likes in just two hours.
"What is this sorcery?" he muttered.
"Thank you, boys, for performing '52' with great passion! I am reminded of myself when I watched your performance. Special shout-out to their center, June, for singing the clip during their dance. Check it out!"
Lei's hand shook as he clicked on their performance video.
June's soft voice filled the room. His fluent pronunciation was evident right off the bat, causing Lei to clench his fists in anger. Moreover, the boys perford so well that Lei couldn't even counter the complints that Jayden Chou had given.
The comnts, too, were unlike that of a regular netizen. Most of them were positive! Where were the miserable people who comnted negative things for the heck of it?
- EVE! I have beco a big fan after this one.
- When are they going to debut in China?
- Please release the Chinese version of Luster. I believe that it's going to be a big hit!
-I hope Azure can hear this! Let EVE debut in China, too!
-Give the boys more opportunity here. You're going to be richer if you do!
- I ca out of the Jade Music Festival as a new fan.
- I watched the show as a Jayden Chou fan, and now I am also an EVE fan.
- Were called astras!
- Astras! I am now an astra.
Lei couldn't believe his eyes. As he scrolled through his phone, he saw their interviews and how June was practically fluent in Chinese. Lin Zhi had ntioned it to him before, but he didn't know that it was to this extent.
"My plan...failed?" he muttered before bursting into chuckles.
The video of EVE's performance continued playing over and over again. anwhile, Lei continued laughing in disbelief, sounding like a manic person.
Jay, who was outside of the room, could hear what was going on inside.
He felt chills run down his spine as Lei's crazy laugh pierced through the door.
Jay shook his head and stood straight before walking away from the room.
"June was right."
"This guy is crazy."
