Chapter 955: A Man’s Stupidity At It’s Best

“Welcome to Star Radio. We have some fans of EVE on call. Should I still call them that at this point when the group already lost it’s name?” the host chuckled.

“Please state your names.”

“Hi, my name is Jia!”

“Bora here.”

“I’m Sumin! Mom, I’m famous.”

“I can’t believe they picked up our call. My name is Nari, by the way!”

“And I’m Wei!”

“Well, that’s a lot of people,” the host said in disbelief. “So, we are calling fans from around the globe about their opinions on everything happening between Azure and Phoenix! What can you girls say about this?”

Jia cleared her throat. “Well, I’ve never liked how Azure managed their talents since the very beginning. They failed to expand their past group’s capabilities, so I’m glad that EVE is out of the company.”

“I see,” the host said. “Do you feel the same thing even though they’ve changed their top- level management?”

“Yes,” Jia confidently said. “I’m sure a lot of people will disagree with me since the current CEO has earned quite a following. However, I’m speaking for those who have been fans of EVE since the very beginning.”

“I was also happy when they changed their management, but with the recent blunder with June, I have all the reason to believe that they are actively sabotaging his career.”

“However, it didn’t turn out the way they planned, so they had to let go of EVE. Yet, they’re not stopping there. They’re still capitalizing on their name and even making a whole new group around their concept! Isn’t it ridiculous?”

“You’re being too kind,” Bora said.

“What we can say is that Mr. Lei is a greedy man, but he smiles prettily for the camera and acts innocent, making his cult fall for him every time! He despises his groups, and from what I see, he’s trying to take Phoenix down by collaborating with these big companies!”

“Well, this group is definitely opinionated,” the host muttered. “Do you have any last words?”

Bora cleared her throat. “Hey Mr. Lei. Listen here, you little shi-“

Lei turned off the radio before Bora could finish her statement. To be fair, the radio host also turned off the call by then because swearing wasn’t allowed in their live. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meanwhile, Lena pursed her lips, amused as she tried to hide her smile. “Why’d you turn it off?” she asked.

Lei sighed and shook his head. “Did you hear them talking shit about me?”

Lena had endured another date with him for the sake of knowing his next moves.

Now that she knew he was confiding with other big companies, she couldn’t pass up on the chance.

“You don’t believe that, do you?” Lei turned to him with wide, puppy eyes.

Lena had to hold herself back from cringing. The only people who were able to pull off that kind of look were Minjun and June.

“Of course not,” she said, trying to sound as sincere as possible. Lei fully believed her, though. It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to believe that she was the owner of a multi- million dollar company.

“Thank goodness,” Lei smiled. “I knew I could trust you.”

“Of course,” Lena smiled, reaching for his hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. “So, you can tell me whatever it is that’s on your mind,” she started off.

Lei glanced at her. “What do you mean?”

Lena cleared her throat. “Well, as you know, I’m also managing a business of my own, but it’s entirely different from your field. Quite small, in my opinion. So I want to ask if this is a good idea-to be joining forces with other big entertainment companies?”

Lei chuckled as Lena asked that question. “Aww, are you curious about how the entertainment industry works?”

“Yeah,” Lena smiled, biting her lip. “Teach me.”

“Well, this is rarely a good thing,” Lei said. “There is a huge possibility of sabotage, and honestly, it would allow the other companies to fend off your ideas.”

“However, at this point, I believe that it’s necessary,” he smiled. “With EVE-wait, not EVE- with June’s group in Phoenix Entertainment, other companies are seeing them as a threat now.”

“Phoenix Entertainment may not have started as the biggest K-pop company, but they are slowly becoming one, and with June’s group joining them, that possibility just became larger.”

“So, we need to stop them,” Lei smiled. “By joining with these big companies, we’re going to make the new EVE, and not only will they benefit from it, but we will also get to prove how Phoenix made a mistake.”

“Is that so,” Lena muttered, placing her hand under her chin. “It’s so complicated! I don’t think I can understand it!”

Lei chuckled and patted her head. “Don’t think too much about it. It is complicated. Don’t worry. I can teach you more about these things. I’ll treat you, too, once the show becomes a

success.”

“Although, I believe it already is because so many people are talking about it!”

“That’s right,” Lena smiled. “Congratulations. It’s the talk of the town.”

“Hmm,” Lei smiled. “With this, I am one step closer to my goal.”

“Goal of what?” Lena innocently asked.

“Of making the biggest group and overtaking Phoenix.”

“I see,” she said. “But, if I may ask, why do you hate Phoenix so much?”

Lei shook his head. “Phoenix is my end goal. I know they have plenty of groups under their name, but it’s only a matter of time.”

Lena nodded. “I think you can do it,” she encouraged him.

“Of course,” Lei said. “Like I said, I’m getting close to my goal. I’m planning on recruiting more idols and getting more entertainment companies by my side.”

Lena held in the urge to smirk. “So close,” she muttered. “It would be a shame i f someone ruined all of that, would it?”

Lei frowned, turning to her with furrowed eyebrows, but Lena just laughed it off.

“Don’t worry, though!” she exclaimed with a wide smile, acting cute. “I won’t let that

happen. I’ll be the one to protect you- the one who will be on your side when that happens.

Lei’s frown eased, and he patted Lena’s head once more.

“You really get me more than anyone else.”
