Chapter 128 So I Really Have to Save the World
Chapter 128 So I Really Have to Save the World
"????"
The sudden loss of connection with the system left Luo Xi completely bewildered and stunned on the spot.
The newly arrived Mo Ri Entertainment president, Bai Qiu, seemed to have taken control of the situation immediately. He smiled and pushed Xu Pu back onto the sofa, saying, "What are you standing there for? Are you being punished?"
Yuan Yu and Qin Tian sat down, and Bai Qiu said to Luo Xi, "You sit down too."
Xu Pu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea casually. "General Manager Bai should already know why I'm here, right?"
"Is it about you allegedly harassing our trainees? Or about asking our trainees to play games with you just now? To be frank, you're not in the right for either of those things."
“Let’s be frank. I’m here to save face. If I do, everyone will be happy. My request is simple, based on our past relationship, and it won’t cost your company anything.” Xu Pu glanced at Luo Xi and said, “It’s that simple to get him to come with me now. If I’m happy, I might even consider investing in the next round.”
"I only refrained from kicking you out because of our past relationship. Some things are fine to say, but do you really think you can treat our trainees like toys? They are the face of the Mexican-Japanese alliance that is about to debut, and the other shareholders need them to make money and recoup their investment. In my opinion, they are worth much more than you right now."
Xu Pu slammed his teacup on the table: "General Manager Bai has gained confidence after just one trip? The company can't even pay salaries now, I wonder how long this will last? Debuting, huh? The other side spends more money on blacklisting than your company's turnover."
"The funding issue has certainly been resolved. I've found several major clients in Jingzhou and Yangcheng; otherwise, how could I have returned?" Bai Qiu calmly took a sip of tea.
Upon hearing this, the vice president and the agent's eyes lit up, and Qin Tian immediately said to Xu Pu, "Then we need to reconsider our cooperation with you."
Qin Tian added: "At the same time, we will conduct a thorough investigation and collect evidence regarding your alleged sexual harassment of trainees from Mo Ri. We will take all the things you just said as evidence and reserve the right to sue you."
Yuan Yu continued, "We have video evidence of you harassing our trainees at the Lintian Hotel in Haicheng on August 24th. We hope you will not distort the truth. If you try to use dirty tricks to maliciously smear our trainees, the company will fight you to the end."
Bai Qiu put down his teacup and placed his hands on the back of the sofa: "What's wrong with you, Mr. Xu? It looks like you're going to be finished before Mo Ri, haha."
The three of them, working together, subtly and overtly belittled Xu Pu. Xu Pu, who had come to save face, immediately turned pale and stood up, saying coldly, "You... Bai Qiu, I only invested in your program because of your parents. How did you beg me back then? But now that you have money, you've changed your tune? You don't know how to do business. Nobody in Haicheng will want to associate with you!"
Bai Qiu laughed again: "That's just how times change, Mr. Xu. Now that my problem is solved, there's no need to solve yours, right? But who knows who will be in trouble next? Calm down, let's talk it over properly. How about tomorrow? Let's have dinner together again, it's on me."
"...Good that you understand. The current situation in Mo Ri cannot be saved by you simply making a few investments."
After Xu Pu finished speaking, he turned and left.
"This guy should be in jail," Yuan Yu said indignantly.
"Say less." Qin Tian patted Yuan Yu on the shoulder, then respectfully said to Bai Qiu, "Manager Bai, now that things are finished, we'll head back to our posts."
Bai Qiu nodded and hummed in agreement. As Luo Xi walked past him, he tapped Luo Xi's shoulder and said, "Come with me."
Luo Xi glanced at her agent, puzzled, wondering what was going on this time.
The agent looked equally surprised, but said to Luo Xi, "Enxi, you go over with Bai Zong first, I'll wait for you here."

The sudden loss of the system, as if he had no backup plan, made Luo Xi feel uneasy.
Luo Xi and Bai Qiu took the elevator up to another floor and finally arrived at a modern office with a low-key luxury style in black.
After telling his secretary to close the door and leave, Bai Qiu sat down in the middle office chair, crossed his legs, and rolled his eyes at Luo Xi.
"Damn, that stupid system actually brought a woman in here. It really fits my stupid impression of it."
"You—" Luo Xi was shocked, and only one possibility came to mind, "You are Luo Enxi!!"
"Ugh, the last unlucky guy," he said through gritted teeth.
"Didn't you run away?"
How did you suddenly become a CEO?
"Huh? Run away? Is that what they told you? Although I might be a little reluctant to do this stupid mission, in this low-risk world, I can complete the mission with a little trickery, so why would I run away?"
"This system has been preventing me. It's locked my built-in points. This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing. That night, I was just playing a game of wrestling, and it didn't back down an inch or give me a single way out. I died from blood loss, and it still tells you I ran away??"
"What kind of system would be so eager to bring in a new soul as soon as the original host dies? Unbelievable! There's a system that doesn't offer any compromise or any way out to the task taker, and in the end, it even killed me... Although I did try to take the opportunity to escape to another world, I failed. Damn it, it even made me lose some points."
"I know it's not easy for you, but 041 is just more realistic. Becoming an idol is indeed not easy."
"What do you think it is, some kind of good nurturing system? I've managed nurturing systems before, but I've never seen one designed so poorly! It's just a bunch of outdated historical products, just something that drags us in to be treated like slaves! And you're actually speaking up for it? Are you out of your mind?!"
Luo Xi weakly defended the system: "041 is pretty good. It's very responsible and professional. Although it is indeed very strict, you can feel that it is truly passionate about training. That's why it doesn't want anyone to cheat."
“You two are indeed a perfect match.” Bai Qiu rolled his eyes again and continued.
"I originally wanted to run away, but at that time, at that very moment, the instant Ronxi died, the boss of Mo Ri Company jumped off a building because he owed a huge debt. I just happened to get caught up in his body. Now I'm being chased and punished by the world consciousness. Before the world mission ends, the main system will catch me and deduct all my points. I'm completely trapped in this place, restricted by the system, unable to use the system to redeem anything, and unable to do anything!"
"So now I have two choices. One is to kill you, cause data chaos, and then use the artifact to detonate this world, tear open a passage, and escape."
"Or, you can leave this world after you complete the mission, or after you fail the mission and the system's restrictions disappear."
He said it with a smile, but Rosie knew he wasn't joking. This man was a madman who could destroy everything without batting an eye.
