This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

Chapter 98

In an unnoticed corner, the long-form video platform "Random iWatch" developed by Random Entertainment quietly went online.

Such a launch should have been properly promoted to attract user registrations, but today was Timetrain's debut day, their main event, and they didn't want to steal their thunder. So it was quietly released on various app stores.

The only mention was when announcing which platforms would broadcast today's debut livestream, telling fans they could also watch on "Random iWatch".

At 7:40 PM, the livestream rooms on Bilibili and TikTok were already open, playing their debut teaser video on loop and announcing that the debut livestream would begin at 8 PM.

Today's livestream also had a live audience, and Zhou Keke was that lucky child with the golden touch - she had won again.

After visiting a few Galaxy Plazas in the afternoon, Jiang Liuxing thought about inviting the two of them to relax at a bathhouse. Liu Yue agreed, but Zhou Keke said she couldn't.

"I probably can't. I have to go watch the livestream this afternoon," Zhou Keke said with some frustration.

The three of them were lying on massage chairs in the mall. Hearing this, the other two raised their heads to look at her. Jiang Liuxing said, "You can still watch at the bathhouse. Lying in a private room watching while eating fruit - it's amazing!"

They had been walking all day and their legs were about to give out.

Zhou Keke hesitated slowly and said, "...But I have to go watch in person, otherwise I'll be blacklisted."

It was then that the other two realized what Zhou Keke meant by "watching the livestream". Liu Yue sat up first, followed by Jiang Liuxing. The two stared at the lucky one, making Zhou Keke feel embarrassed.

The two of them had contributed so much to Random Entertainment but were never selected. Forget about livestreams, they hadn't even been chosen for fan signings after several attempts.

Random Entertainment really only wanted the lucky ones!

The massage chairs finished their work at this moment, slowly rising. The two unlucky ones eagerly got up from their chairs, then took small steps to Zhou Keke's side, reverently holding her hands.

"Let me touch you quickly!"

"Please, I really want to win a fan signing just once!"

The two of them treated her like a wishing turtle in a fountain, muttering away.

Zhou Keke, shocked: "..."

-

Inside the Galaxy Venue, the selected fans had entered an hour before the broadcast began. They were trained by the staff for a while, memorizing the parts they would sing along to later.

Twenty minutes before the start, the five members returned to the stage again to interact with the fans.

Their current styling was the same as in the MV for their title track "ENFJ".

The album was called "infp-a", but the title track was called "ENFJ", and fans who received the album today discovered the hidden meaning.

The ideal partner for INFP - ENFJ.

As for who among the fans and idols was which type, that was up to everyone's interpretation.

"Countdown--"

"Five, four, three--"

The director used hand signals for the last two numbers, and as "one" fell, the music started on site.

The intro that had already gone viral on TikTok began playing, with the unique and pleasant sound of an ocarina. The lively melody was like a butterfly fluttering about.

After the first few moves, Pei Luming switched positions with Ye Xing, moving to the center.

"The phone lit up twice at night, a message rang out, the phone became a musician. Sweetie, go to sleep, go to sleep after the video call, moonlight and summer night, please feel it well."

If you listened carefully, you could hear the dialing tones in the background. The upbeat and lively melody paired with lyrics like sweet nothings, combined with the concept, made one can't help but marvel at Random Entertainment's song selection.

Pei Luming led the dance with his chestnut brown hair in front, his facial expressions so well-managed that it didn't seem forced at all. The overflowing vitality attracted everyone watching the livestream at this moment.

The stage setup was also full of the free-spirited feeling of a spring summer night, like a little boyfriend suddenly arriving under his girlfriend's house at night, comforting his sleepless girlfriend while on the phone.

The lit street lamps became the finishing touch of the stage, and the screen behind further created that neighborhood atmosphere. The street lamps illuminated the five of them, and their dance moves also seemed deliberately silly, as if to amuse a girlfriend, both handsome and cute.

For the distribution of lyrics, they used Gao Xiayu's previously accustomed order.

Pei Luming's singing was stable and he could quickly hit the right notes at the beginning. Plus, his tone was lower, making it easier for those after him to pick up, so he was always the one to start. After Pei Luming finished, it was Gao Xiayu's turn.

After the two finished the first verse, it was time for the chorus, which was either sung by Yao Shuo or as a group. This time it was split between Yao Shuo and Pei Luming. In the second verse, Chi Qiao and Ye Xing came out, with Chi Qiao singing the same melody as Pei Luming's opening, and Ye Xing doing a short rap segment.

The five of them were like mutually encouraging mischievous friends. During the rap part, they crowded around Ye Xing, with the other four acting silly behind him, as if cheering on a friend who was confessing his love.

This short segment immediately raised the atmosphere, and the fans below also sang along according to the rehearsed parts. The stage effect they created together directly amazed the onlooking passersby.

Timetrain had been hyped for their debut for so long, with two variety shows paving the way for them to gain fans. Naturally, many casual viewers were interested. Plus, the company had spent a lot of money promoting today's debut livestream, so young girls could now scroll to this livestream room on TikTok.

"This is intense. I didn't expect such a complete stage in C-pop, I mean including the audience below."

"Seeing the neat lightsticks and fanchants below, I suddenly got teary-eyed. Am I mistaken? Is this really our little C-pop?"

"It's hard to imagine solo stans from five fandoms not fighting and quietly cheering for the group. I'm taking a mental screenshot!"

"My eyes are peeing! Who understands?!!!"

"I wasn't following any of them or watching their shows, but I can name all five of them. I wasn't planning to stan, but Pei Luming really hit me hard today. Wuwuwu my puppy boyfriend!"

"Thank Random Entertainment for their contribution to C-pop - delivering five quality men!"

"Great! From now on, this is the standard for C-pop idols' abilities. If you can't reach it, please say you're from Korean entertainment!"

"I used to criticize Random Entertainment for not knowing how to choose people, but now looking at it, all five of them are really eye-catching, especially Chi Qiao. How was he buried before?!"

No one was overshadowed, and no one was forced to dim. All five were the most eye-catching on stage.

When it wasn't their turn, they worked hard to be the most tender green leaves in the background. When it was their turn to stand in the center, they became the most dazzling flower.

Everyone thought Chi Qiao might lack presence in the group, but looking at it today, that wasn't the case at all.

He wore a simple loose hoodie, with baggy cargo pants, and a blue and white knit hat on his head, with only messy bangs exposed in front.

His styling was the simplest, but also the most appropriate. Even though he was covered up, you could still feel the bursting pheromones from him.

"Haha... feels like he's hiding muscles under those clothes."

"You guys are eating so well in secret?"

"Athlete, athlete! He gives off a scent of an all-over fragrant athlete!"

"Actually, Chi Qiao's popularity isn't low... His photocard prices have always been in the Top 3, right behind Pei Luming and Ye Xing."

"Wuwuwuwu come look at our selfie genius main dancer!"

"I want to do things with him that would get banned on TikTok [hehe]"

Before when there were seven members, the dance parts had to be divided up, and Chi Qiao couldn't do a complete dance break. But now it's different. After the bridge of the title track ended, the atmosphere climbed again, with Chi Qiao leading the dance break in the center.

With fewer people, his dance charm immediately radiated out.

Every movement was precise and crisp, as if effortless, but those trained in dance know that to achieve Chi Qiao's level of precise control requires an incredibly stable core.

With his long arms and legs, Chi Qiao's dance lines were especially beautiful to watch. That innate sense of ease and grace was something others couldn't hope to imitate.

In particular, to prepare for their debut, he had rigorously sculpted his body for a month. The fat on his face had reduced significantly, making his facial features appear more mature. With his small head and face atop his 6'2" frame, combined with his excellent body proportions, his appearance was nothing short of striking.

As the song ended, the five of them gathered together. There was no special ending pose; they simply raised their hands and waved at the camera, as if greeting someone perched on a windowsill.

Pei Luming, still whooping with excitement, suddenly picked up Gao Xiayu and lifted him high, startling Gao Xiayu so much he almost lost control of his facial expression.

Ye Xing, standing in the middle, noticed this and his smile grew even brighter. On either side of him, Yao Shuo and Chi Qiao had their arms around each other's shoulders, waving at the audience below and the camera on the crane.

The vibrant, youthful energy of these boys radiated through the screen, unconsciously bringing smiles to the faces of casual viewers in the live stream.

It was then that Pei Luming set Gao Xiayu down. The first thing Gao Xiayu did upon landing was to adjust the earpiece near his face before calling out, "TwoThree!"

"Arrived――" the other four chimed in.

"Hello everyone, we are Timetrain!"

The five of them bowed in perfect unison, bending at a 90-degree angle to face the audience below and the cameras in front. After two seconds, they raised their heads.

The debut they had waited over two years for had finally arrived.

Looking at the fans waving their light sticks below, their emotions at this moment were more tumultuous than anyone else's――

Pei Luming thought to himself: If it wouldn't be embarrassing, I'd burst into tears right here on stage.
