How to become an ACE of a top boy group

That evening, after get off work, all the idol groups and employees of the Mexican company went to a pre-booked restaurant for a year-end dinner.

Bai Qiu came over specifically to take a look, then called Luo Xi out alone, and incidentally blocked 041.

They stood in the deserted corridor. The snow had stopped, and the cold wind whistled into the warm room through the open windows. From the top-floor window, they could see the dazzling city lights and the twinkling lights of countless homes.

Bai Qiu lit a cigarette, perhaps to better fit his current persona, or perhaps to sober up; he smelled strongly of alcohol, though not pungent.

"Your attributes are still too low, you need to raise them quickly, you need to raise them fast, understand? Do more quests!"

"Good boss!"

"And this year, you have to take a unified exam in July to get into the China Conservatory of Music. Mo Ri has a cooperative idol program with this school, and your high school diploma is not enough. Tomorrow, I'll have someone send the textbooks over and you'll start learning online. If you don't study, don't blame me for forcing you to cheat later. Anyway, you have to get my diploma."

"Okay, boss! I'll definitely learn!"

"Also, you can start preparing your solo album now, or write a few singles. If you don't know how to write, just let the system write a few good-sounding programs. It's safer than hiring a ghostwriter."

"I'll start writing, boss!"

"Also, uh, your recent performance has been pretty good. Keep it up. Once I've sorted out the company matters and have some money, I'll do a good job with marketing for you. You might feel like you're not popular right now, but that's just an appearance, an appearance! Understand...?"

Bai Qiu spoke casually.

Suddenly, a series of "bang" sounds came from outside the window.

"Wow!! Fireworks!" Luo Xi heard the sound and looked outside, seeing many fireworks exploding in the sky. Realizing it was New Year's Eve after midnight, she happily told Bai Qiu.

"Happy New Year's Eve, boss!"

"Don't yell at the slightest sound. What's so special about New Year's Eve? Sigh... Happy New Year's Eve." Bai Qiu originally wanted to say, "Can you even go home for the New Year?", but he couldn't be so cruel to the transmigrated newcomer, after all, it was such a festival that valued human relationships.

"Boss, what are your plans for the Chinese New Year? Like having a New Year's Eve dinner or something?"

"What else do you want to do?" Bai Qiu shook his head, which was a little dizzy from the alcohol. "Come with me to a few meetings, meet some people. Behave yourself, okay, kid? Be mature. You're a future world-class superstar. Put on airs, act like a professional, okay..."

Luo Xi had to interrupt him, "But boss, I promised Cat... Song Chuchu that I would go to his house for New Year's Eve dinner, so I won't be free tomorrow or the day after."

"Song Chuchu. Song Xinxin." Bai Qiu repeated these two names a few times. "Alright, here's a little task for you..."

After dinner, they sang karaoke until the early hours of the morning before returning home. Exhausted from the whole day, Luo Xi took a shower and went straight to sleep.

The next morning, in the soft light of dawn, Luo Xi woke up naturally in bed.

A peaceful morning.

041 is probably out posting online again and isn't around. It seems to have found some fun in life; when Luo Xi doesn't call it, it runs around to various online hotspots to watch the drama unfold, promotes Luo Xi's posts and topics, and proudly tells Luo Xi every day how many new fans it has gained.

The bed next to him was empty. Song Chuchu had a shooting schedule for the "Guose" beauty brand and hadn't come back last night. He was the first of the five to shoot for the luxury brand.

Lu Yun took a late-night flight back to Beicheng after finishing work last night, and threw a tantrum because Luo Xi agreed to spend the New Year with Song Chuchu without asking him first.

Luo Xi checked her phone and saw it was around eight o'clock. She first sent a text message to Song Chuchu and Lu Yun to coax them, then replied to An Kexin's message, then to Ming Ning's message, and sent a message to the Fiction (D) chat group to wish them a successful work and a happy holiday.

Fiction (D) received an invitation from Luobo.com's online Spring Festival Gala and is preparing for a live recording today, so they went there after dinner last night to catch up on the schedule. Yuan Yu also told Luo Xi and the others to cherish the time they can rest during this year's Spring Festival, because ILitterer might be busy again next year.

Then I replied to the messages from Group E, thanking the senior who added me last night, and sending New Year's Eve greetings to everyone who added me...

After replying to all the messages appropriately, Luo Xi opened the trending topics system and her personal trending topics, reading them like a daily morning newspaper.

In the 【Popularity System】, the most discussed topic across the entire internet is undoubtedly the Chinese Pop Music Awards Ceremony last night, with eight out of the top ten trending searches related to it:

The Huayin Awards' Song of the Year "Bite!", One Origin's Album of the Year "Life Adjustment", Pink Sugar's ZONE's Shen Jie'an's "Sacrifice Challenge", official stage montage of the Huayin Awards, and what exactly Jiang Suwan said.

and many more,

Treasure? Boy also ranked tenth on the global trend list, but Luo Xi doubted its accuracy, and opinions were polarized.

Some people are mocking "another newcomer award produced by Shengshi Entertainment," while most are engaging in comment control and fan-driven hype. Unsurprisingly, they've dragged out ILitter, who won no awards, to be compared and disparage them, generating a ton of negative posts such as "Mo Ri Entertainment's biggest blunder and last struggle," "Why was ILitter's debut a mistake?" and "Who won and who lost in the debut battle between Bonam and Aesin?"

Looking at it gave me a headache, so Luo Xi quickly scrolled down.

Scrolling down, in the hot topic of the fourth generation of divine beauties on the Huayin Awards stage, the blurry GIF of Lee Yong-hyun's expressionless beauty when he appeared on the big screen went viral. Next was Ming Ning's cold and aloof stage ending, and then... to Luo Xi's surprise, the third most shared and liked post was actually her photo!

The moment she winked and made a heart shape with her hands while eating was captured by her fan site admin!

In the photo, the bright stage lights shine directly on the boy, whose half-long black hair is slightly tossed as he dances energetically. His cheeks are flushed from the exertion, and his lips curve into a sweet smile, as if he's about to embrace happiness. The contrast between his half-blinking eyes and the small heart he makes with his hand is all illuminated, as if glowing. Because the smile is so warm, it's hard to tell whether it's the lights that illuminate the photo, or the smile itself.

The angle, lighting, and sense of movement are all captured perfectly, but what makes this photo a masterpiece is that there was another photo taken at the same time from a different angle, showing the direction Rosie was facing from the side and back, at the location of the small Iletter light sign and the golden candle light. Rosie's personal website put the two photos together and posted them online.

It quickly went viral, sparking numerous touching comments: "This is the mutual support between idols and fans," "It's so heartwarming," "This has become my annual collection of touching moments for fangirls, sob sob," "You can find food in such a small place, but my idol can't QAQ."

Many comments say that "this is an absolutely legendary shot that will be passed down through generations," and some new fans who became fans say that "I can't even imagine how happy I would be to be his fan." Now, Luo Xi's personal followers on Weibo have exceeded two million.

The official account of the China Pop Music Awards posted high-definition photos of this scene along with other pictures on its official posts, generating even more buzz. This also made Luo Xi the third most discussed person in the topic of "the fourth generation of goddesses of dance at the China Pop Music Awards," with people constantly praising her for being well-behaved, warm, and a little sunflower.

Her most popular post also reached an all-time high in popularity.

"Who's smiling so happily even though they didn't win an award?!"

It's rare to see an idol with such energy. Before, the laid-back and easygoing persona was all the rage, and I never knew I could be a fan. Turns out, I like this kind of persona. (I don't mean to say that being laid-back and easygoing is bad. I'm just expressing my personal opinion and have no intention of offending anyone.)

Thankfully, the director wasn't drunk this time and didn't cut to a close-up, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten such stunning high-definition images. Let's thank the director!
