[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 15 - : Emergency Meeting

Chapter 15: Emergency Meeting

Even after thousands of years have passed, even if the world changes, human's nature to love beauty can never be erased. After all, who would reject seeing something pleasing in the eye? Even if it's only an object, it's already an additional support for the spiritual mood of every person, what's more if it's a person?

Even if that person is not capable or not outstanding, as long as it doesn't lower your bottom line, who can really reject him?

That's probably the greatest explanation when just after a few hours had passed since the first episode of Lucky99 was released, it's not the outstanding participants who managed to catch everyone's attention; instead, it was all conquered by someone who even if he doesn't have an outstanding talent or a mental power that supposedly a tantamount of someone's strength just because he has the face that anyone cannot reject to.

Qin An.

From the moment everyone's eye set on him, it was as if everyone's mind was being hypnotized. Sometimes, even some people wonder if he has a great mental power to be able to waver everyone's mentality, but it's impossible, right? After all, in the young man's record, he doesn't even have mental power in the first place.

So everyone just lamented his luck to have that face.

No one really expected that his face would even change the rules of the show that's slowly dominating the stage.

Yes, because after the producers notice the continuous rating when Qin An was seen on the episode, they think they have to do something about it. Because who would not be bothered by seeing how the show has an increased rate of exposure to the world? What was just unfortunate was the perpetrator who did this was eliminated. If it could be someone who received high votes, especially Shen Lou who got the highest vote among all, they would be happily celebrating and will use all the cameras to shoot him from all angles but it's someone who will not appear on the show again.

Even if they got everyone's attention to know this show, if they couldn't see the person they want, will they still continue watching it? Sure, maybe some of course, but even so, it will still affect the ratings.

Now they really have to do something. Business is like this. They will exaggerate the point that they will only pursue real talents who would deserve to win, but something shady will always happen.

Everyone not only wants a good reputation but also profits. Just like in this situation, if they want more profits, they have to satisfy the audience.

But how?

"Why don't we recruit him back?" A shareholder suggested it to everyone. They are holding an emergency meeting in the conference room when they notice the situation on the Starnet.

"Recruit? That would damage the show's reputation." Another shareholder rejected the idea. What will the audience think if they will recruit him back? Although they don't manipulate dataset especially in global votings or even the scores from the mentors for the rankings of the trainees, that doesn't mean they cannot do something. They can manipulate some rules behind such as letting those who are more popular give more screen time and other small opportunities but they will never do it infront. It's not called an unspoken rule without a reason.

"Then what should we do?" Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"I've read some comments that even if Qin An won't go back to Lucky99, they still want to see him. What if we arrange him in other areas? What about modeling? I think it's much easier." Someone suggested another way out for Qin An,

"Yes, yes, we can do that." Almost immediately they agreed to that point and they looked at the main seat where the president was seated with an eager face but Chen Jiang was expressionless.

It was his Secretary who slightly cleared his throat. "Sir, do you all forget that modeling also requires mental power?"

"..." That fact silences everyone inside the meeting room.

Right, how could they forget that even taking pictures isn't just about simply capturing someone? Instead, they have to use their mental power to develop the background and in order to let the viewers immerse themselves in what the model wants to convey.

"What if we use other people's mental power?" Someone suggested but others didn't agree.

"That will ruin the essence of the picture. Using others is not a good option at all."

It's like someone who looks very rigid and stoic with a rainbow background, how will that work? Or even if they would ensure that the theme and Qin An will suit, how could they present it when there's no soul inside the body? They clearly could not.

"How about we use how ancient people did? Can we find some place or create the materials inside?"

"Then how will the viewers feel about the picture with just merely looking at them? We are not like those in the Blue Star back then. It's very different." One shareholder retorted that suggestion.

Others also tried giving suggestions but were also all refuted by themselves which was awful. Even some almost quarrel because they keep on putting ideas that were not helping when in fact they themselves cannot provide their own too.

Chen Jiang's Secretary looked helplessly at the meeting that was almost like a marketplace and sigh. He thinks that it's really a problem too. It's really unexpected that the problem they have to face is what they cannot provide themselves. Most of the people who don't have mental power cannot have them for the rest of their lives.

There is no medicine or any way that can help a person develop their mental power. That's why these people were considered as disabled and unfortunately received unfair treatment everywhere. This is the era where mental power is way too important for a living, if that is not present, it'll be too hard especially for those who have ambition to grow taller.

Qin An's decision to join is very risky. He can be blacklashed because of his prejudices and it will always be used as a reason to trample him wherever he goes in the future. Since he joined this competition wherein everyone will know what he lacks, it may bring troubles everywhere for him.

This is what the Secretary thought so back then.

But... looking at the increasing data of the netizens looking forward to him, this is the first time he actually saw someone's face could really save you from the big trouble that he's expecting.

Because rather than malice and prejudice, what he saw was everyone's bias towards his face, completely disregarding how everyone treated disabled people like Qin An.

"..."

Isn't there an ancient saying that beauty could cause a downfall to a country? Why is this so opposite here, then?
