Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

Xia Xinglang had a barbecue on his birthday. Li Siyu drank soda and asked stupidly, "Are the five of them going to debut as a team?"

Li Siyu really wanted Yingzhi to stay. Xia Xinglang asked him why, and the answer he got was that the bass is the soul, so the bassist is the soul figure, but usually people who play guitar poorly become bassists. Yingzhi's situation is special because he can basically play every instrument.

Xia Xinglang slapped his thigh and said, "We haven't introduced ourselves to you yet!"

Li Siyu blushed: "I know you guys. I met you guys before at the Idol Games."

Xia Xinglang blinked: "Xiaoyu, do you remember my name?"

Young-ji and Cha Jae-hun were shocked and looked weird. Kim Seung-hyuk pointed out, "Why do you call her Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu sounds a lot like Xiaoyu."

Xia Xinglang realized it later: "Then call me Ayu, is that okay?"

Li Siyu lowered his head: "Actually, I can do anything."

"And I know you all, no need to introduce myself," Li Siyu said, her voice getting smaller and smaller because of shyness, "Xia Xinglang, Che Zaixun, Huashanyuan Yingzhi, and Captain Jin Chengxie, you are JP1."

Kim Seung Hyuk immediately denied that he was not the captain: "The new captain is the oldest now, Jaehyun hyung."

They all don't realize how famous they are. Li Siyu said that many people in the class like them and have seen their performances.

Cha Jae Hoon immediately asked him what his favorite stage was.

Li Siyu drank soda with a straw: "The most recent stage is Purple Rain. I liked the debut song the most before. The song is very nice. I bought the album to support you."

Che Zaixun kept asking questions, asking which albums he had bought, whose cards he had won, and whether he had ever seen their concerts. The more he asked, the more excited he became. Xia Xinglang covered his mouth to stop him from asking any more questions: "Come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract. Can we exchange contact information?"

Li Siyu's previous company went bankrupt due to poor management. After the contract was terminated, he became a free man and there was no contract dispute.

"I kept in touch with my friends who debuted before," Li Siyu said slowly, "We planned to form a group together. Originally, there were five of us who wanted to hold a concert, but gradually no one came, and I was left alone. It was empty standing on the stage, with no one around me. I was scared, but I still wanted to wait for them to come, so I continued to sing on the stage..."

Ying Zhishen felt the same way: "It's lonely to be alone. I used to have teammates to chat with, but now I'm alone."

Li Siyu: "I haven't eaten with other people for a long time."

Xia Xinglang wanted to encourage him: "Ayu, although I can't guarantee that we can eat together, we will see each other every day in the future."

Li Siyu: "Well, I will wait patiently."

[Mission completed! New member, 'Li Siyu' has joined the team! ]

After everyone dispersed, they said goodbye to each other. I originally wanted to send A Yu home, but Li Siyu said it was not necessary as it was very close to home. The four of them put on their masks again and walked on the winter streets. At the second intersection, Yingzhi said goodbye to him.

Xia Xinglang asked him, "Where's the band?"

Yingzhi: "Let's talk about it later."

I wanted to ask Yingzhi what he would do next, but I couldn't bring myself to ask.

Yingzhi knew he was worried, so he said, "I want to develop on my own, and maybe I will still think about Xiaolang."

Xia Xinglang imitated him as he had done before and put his fist against his chest: "Brother Yingzhi, then just think about me in your heart and continue singing on the stage."

Young-ji, wearing a black windbreaker, said goodbye to the three of them at the intersection: "Well, goodbye, Siaolang, and Jaehoon and Seunghyup."

Jin Chengxie and Che Zaixun also said goodbye. The two of them stood on Xia Xinglang's left and right like two guardians.

"Now that we have the lead singer, will we recruit more people? I feel like we have all the roles now," Kim Seung Hyuk said, "dance, vocal, rap, all complete."

Xia Xinglang: "Brother Chengxie, what do you think your position is?"

Kim Seung Hyuk said in a relaxed tone: "I am all-rounder. I can sing, dance, rap, compose music, and write beats."

Che Zaixun: “…………”

Xia Xinglang immediately gave a thumbs up and affirmed: "Chengxie is our Ace."

Che Zaixun was unconvinced: "Then I am also omnipotent."

Kim Seung Hyuk: “You can’t rap.”

Che Zaixun: "Am I not the captain? You all don't respect me..."

Xia Xinglang: "The number of people is to be determined. I'm thinking of a fifth person."

Che Zaixun understood his concerns: "It's not convenient for four people to take turns, because there are two people on each side, and the standing position is not beautiful. Five people will be symmetrical."

[New mission triggered! Looking for a potential fifth person as a team member! ]

Where can we find a fifth person with potential? There are very few fifth people who can be compared with Kim Seung Hyuk's creative talent, Cha Jae Hoon's absolute dancing sense, and Lee Si Ok's three high notes.

Xia Xinglang looked through his past life memories and found a few popular names, but they had all signed contracts with big companies long ago. How could he be the one to discover them? There were scouts everywhere on the street. When they saw a good-looking kid, they would go up to him and hand him their business cards, saying that this was an important choice that could change your life. Would you like to come to our company and become a trainee?

After Li Siyu signed the contract, Lan Zhihe personally assessed his vocal level. His vocal skills could be considered excellent, but his dancing level was average. Li Siyu said he would practice more.

During the practice period, Xia Xinglang tried many methods. He observed in the commercial streets where there were many young people at night and paid close attention to the status window. In the morning, he would squat at the entrance of the Art High School to see if there would be another Li Siyu among the high school students. The results were all empty. Either they were already signed artists/trainees, or they were too young. By the time people grew up, he would probably be out of date.

They practiced for the entire December. Li Siyu was very sad about Yingzhi's departure. It was said that the first person to leave among his debut teammates was the bassist, and then the others left one after another, leaving only him... Xia Xinglang comforted him countless times that it would not be like this, but Li Siyu's attitude was extremely negative: "Aren't you leaving?"

"will not."

"I won't leave! Don't worry."

At the end of the year, everyone agreed to spend the New Year together. Cha Jae-hoon also wanted to climb a mountain to watch the sunrise on New Year's Day. Last year, they were still JP1, and everyone proposed a New Year's resolution for the New Year's Eve group show. Cha Jae-hoon also said to climb a mountain to watch the sunrise, but there were too many people, so they said to spend the Spring Festival together. As a result, the incident with Young-ji happened at the Spring Festival Idol Games. I don't know what will happen during this year's Spring Festival.

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Are you free? You have a social media account, so why don't you manage it?"

Che Zaixun: "Forgot the password."

Kim Seung-hyuk asked him to register a new one and then file an appeal.

Che Zaixun: "I'll ask Zhang Lin, he should remember the password."

Previously, C company did not allow them to register on social media, and they only had the bubble software paid by fans. Now that it has disbanded, they can have personal accounts. Kim Seung-hyuk is his honest real name, and Li Siyu also has a personal account. Only Xia Xinglang has no plans to do so. In fact, it is quite troublesome to get an artist certified.

Li Siyu bought a cake, put candles on it and made a wish. Xia Xinglang asked him what he wished for. Li Siyu said, "I can't tell you."

Xia Xinglang guessed correctly: "Is it about the four of us?"

Li Siyu shook his head: "Five people."

Che Zaixun looked around and saw only four of them: "Where did the fifth person come from?"

Xia Xinglang knew that Li Siyu was talking about Yingzhi: "We are a team of five."

Jin Chengxie said unhappily, "Is the extra one a ghost?"

Che Zaixun: "Don't say such things!"

Xia Xinglang ordered pizza and fried chicken. The rider asked him to go down and pick up the food. Xia Xinglang was wrapped in a down jacket, and the rider was standing in front of the gate in a windbreaker and a mask. Xia Xinglang took the takeaway and thanked him, accidentally triggering the system pop-up window.

[This character has rare characteristics!

Features: Unlimited potential]

Seeing this reminder, Xia Xinglang grabbed his wrist as if it was his last straw. The rider was shocked: "What are you doing!"

The man had a Buddha amulet hanging around his neck. He was 1.83 meters tall, about the same height as Xia Xinglang. Xia Xinglang forcibly pulled off his mask. He was quite handsome. He would look better if his hair was cut short. Xia Xinglang didn't expect to have to search for so long. In the end, he met the man when he ordered takeout downstairs. He pushed the man to the door and said, "You! This is a decision that can change your life. Do you want to be a trainee?"

"Mom!"

Xia Xinglang: "...Are you Thai? That's how the word 'very good' is pronounced in Thai. Do you agree?"

The rider was frightened by him: "I just think you are crazy! So what if you are Thai? What are you trying to trick me about?"

Xia Xinglang: "You will be the fifth member of our group!"

The rider said okay, and Xia Xinglang took out his phone and was about to add him when he saw the man riding the electric scooter very quickly. He turned around, gave him the middle finger, and then drove away.
