Neurolink System in the Modern World-Chapter 233: Creating Stars

"Mr. Zyn!" A thin man, dressed in a rather distinctive purple polo shirt that seemed a bit too snug, with a yellow scarf around his neck and shiny black pants, stood up from his seat when he saw me.

His outfit didn't quite match the upscale vibe of the place, but it made him stand out. The purple shirt clashed a bit with the classy surroundings, and his yellow scarf caught everyone's eye as it flapped when he got up.

His green hair also did not help with his current attire, but I'm not really one to judge, considering I get my fashion sense from researching "Best Attire for handsome Men" most of the time.

He was Evelyn's group current manager. Looking at his outfit, I could tell he wasn't exactly rolling in dough. His attempt at looking classy was like a fashion mixed up.

"You can sit down," I gestured with my hands, inviting him to remain seated.

"I apologize to everyone for keeping you all waiting; I had some business to attend to," I explained.

It was already 8:30 pm when I arrived because of my little encounter with Rei Mei. I had texted Evelyn in advance, so they didn't leave and just ordered food, which they had already finished eating.

"Mr. Zyn, you're really handsome! I think you'd become famous instantly if you tried to become an idol!"

"Thank you, but I don't think that the celebrity life suits me," I chuckled at his comment.

"You're too humble. You're even more charismatic than Rune!" he exclaimed. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Rune?" I asked with a puzzled look. I haven't been updated with the recent celebrity news.

"He's the current top male idol, shot to stardom in one go. Looks like a flower boy, but honestly, your cool and charismatic vibe would totally outshine his delicate appearance!"

'Is he the same guy Alice mentioned before?' I mused, recalling Alice's words.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't really think I'm suited to becoming a star," I chuckled, acting down to earth. But deep inside, I knew that I could easily beat any male idols if I really tried. Even a very versatile idol with all the talents would be hard-pressed to beat me if I focused on becoming one.

But doing that would be counterproductive. I barely have enough time to get stronger, so becoming a celebrity was out of the question. Besides, why settle on becoming a star when I have all this power in the palm of my hand?

"Let's talk about business now," I shifted the conversation. I got the feeling that he would keep insisting if I didn't put a stop to this topic.

"Sure, sure," he replied with a respectful tone after realizing my intentions.

"Mr. Zyn, I heard from the girls that you wanted to sponsor us?" He reinitiated the conversation with an energetic smile. I chuckled at his antics; I could practically see a dollar sign in his eyes right now.

What an easy person to read. Well, I don't dislike these types of people. They are more honest with their feelings, unlike cunning individuals who act like goody two-shoes.

But to be more efficient, it's better to control him so he would do his job even better.

"I plan to sponsor them, and I hope that you will do your best to give them the best opportunity," I subtly used my suggestion. It was so smooth that he didn't even realize he was now under my control.

"Of course!" he replied with enthusiasm.

"Alright, then tell me the best way to increase their popularity fast" I asked him.

I'm not well-versed in the entertainment industry, so getting some information first seemed like the best move.

"Well, right now, I think the best way to do it is through Social media and online streaming sites. I'll be honest with you, Mr. Zyn, Evelyn and the others are really talented, but our current company only allocated the bare minimum fund for them. If we really want them to stand out, then we need to make a trendy music video to increase their popularity," he explained.

"Then, just make a music video. I can give you the funds to make one. Money is not an issue," I replied with a nonchalant expression. I will have a lot of revenue when my company starts operating, so no need to cheap out on my girlfriends.

"Thank you, Mr. Zyden! But..." He paused for a moment, clearly wanting to say something.

"What's the problem?"

"We need a good song to shoot them to stardom. And right now, most of the talented composers are exclusively working with more popular and talented groups. I don't have the connections to get one of them to make us one.," he sighed, feeling embarrassed by his incompetence.

"That's not an issue. Just set up a meeting for me with whichever composer you pick, and I will handle the rest," I reassured them. With my powers, convincing any composer to write the best song of the year would be a piece of cake.

As for talent, Evelyn's group didn't lack it. They were merely restricted because they weren't as favored.

"Thank you, Mr. Zyn!" He bowed his head, looking very satisfied with my promise.

"You're welcome," I replied with a nod, watching his thankful face, still grinning from ear to ear.

"By the way, before we do all of this, I wanted to first talk about their contract with your current company." I tapped the table.

I heard from Evelyn that their current contract was a little bit exploitative, so I wanted to fix it right away before they even became popular. Most entertainment companies would do that to rising idols.

"This is the contract," he handed me a copy, and I began to read it.

As expected, the contract was unfavorable, so I had to fix this later.

ZZZZZ!

Suddenly, my phone vibrated, and I slowly glanced at the screen. A satisfied grin spread across my face as I absorbed the details of text.
