From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 905: The Head's New Friend



Kwan tilted his head to the side.

"Aren't you aware already?" he asked.

"Hmm?" Lei hummed.

"Well, you wouldn't have contacted me and gone here if you weren't aware already," Kwan chuckled, crossing his arms in front of my chest.

"Honestly, I'm surprised," he continued. "Not a lot of people know my identity. It's impressive how you found me."

Lei pursed his lips to hide his excitement.

"Hard work," Lei said. "It was definitely difficult. But I eventually found you..."

"...the head of Phoenix."

A small smirk made its way to Kwan's lips. "I tried so hard to hide it, really. Please don't let the public know about this. I do not want to be a public target. Besides, I'm contented with leaving here along with my machinery."

Lei couldn't hide his smile anymore.

It was him.

It was really him.

"I wouldn't," Lei said. "You have my word."

"Good," Kwan said. "From the get go, I knew I didn't want to reveal myself. However, you actually took the effort to look for me. That is why I gave you a chance."

"You persevered," Kwan added. "It reminded me of my dad's perseverance."

"Being at the top of the ladder-you are really the most vulnerable. With the empires that you have, I would say that you have it even harder," Lei said.

Kwan scratched the back of his head. "I wouldn't call it that. However, it is tough. That's why I moved out here. It's much more peaceful."

Lei nodded. "I respect that. I wish I could also go out of the media's eyes," he lied. "However, it's different in the entertainment industry."

"Yikes," Kwan said. "That's why I can never handle something that deals with showbiz."

Lei raised one eyebrow. Was that why he delegated the role to his uncle? Because he wanted a peaceful life like his father?

"I see," Lei muttered.

Kwan smiled. "It's actually quite nice to talk with someone my age about these things. It's also better that you also experience the hardships that I face."

Lei smiled. "Of course," he said.

"From now on, you can consider me as your friend."

"There are a lot of people who would take advantage of you in our respective industries," he continued, and Kwan nodded in agreement.

"I guess I wanted someone I can talk about these kinds of things, too," Lei said.

Kwan patted his back. "Well, you're welcome here anytime."

Lei internally chuckled. This guy was much more gullible than he had anticipated.

But then again, he wasn't complaining.

"Besides," he added. "Aren't you flirting with Lena?"

Lei scratched the back of his head.

Well, his intention in asking her out was to have an excuse to come to this neighborhood. Now that he was friends with Kwan, it seemed pretty useless.

However, Lena was quite pretty. It also seemed like she was loaded, so that was another plus. Maybe he could take advantage of her, too.

"I guess," he said.

Kwan chuckled. "Well, you better not break her heart. She's pretty scary when she's mad." "How do you know?" Lei asked.

Kwan shrugged. "I just witnessed it once. Don't worry, though. It seems like she likes you a lot."

Lei smiled. "I'm relieved."

His plan was going perfectly.

Lei wanted to ask more about Phoenix and how he managed to make it as big as it was. However, 'Everyday, Everynight' came back on, capturing their attention.

The first person to appear on the screen was June.

"Ah!" he exclaimed. "It's June! I really like this guy."

Lei pursed his lips.

Alright—maybe his plan wasn't that perfect.

This guy liked June way too much!

***

June wanted to go to sleep before they went to the gathering. However, there was a nagging feeling in the back of his head.

With that, he sat on his bed and coughed loudly, hoping to wake his members up. However, as expected, they didn't wake up.

June shook his head and stood from the bed, about to shake them awake. However, he also knew how hard they had been working for the past six days.

In fact, everybody was most definitely exhausted. All of the missions they had done consisted of manual labor.

With that, June sighed and decided to let them be.

He stood from the bed and quietly walked down the kitchen. He drank some water to satiate his hunger. His stomach grumbled nonetheless, but he ignored it.

June then glanced at the clock behind him and saw that there were still two hours until the gathering. There were some staff members wandering around while Ramil PD was seen outside, chilling in the hammock that his staff had set up.

He had an apple in hand, and it seemed like he was enjoying his life to the fullest.

June shook his head. "The show must be doing really well," he muttered. For him to be so happy like that, June could only assume that 'Everyday, Everynight' would have the highestn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

ratings.

June's stomach grumbled once again, making him shake his head.

With that, he opened the fridge, hoping to find some kind of ingredient-a bell pepper, a

piece of green bean, anything!

However, what June found was an atrocity.

His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the boxes of cupcakes in the fridge. He had packed it in fives before going to his room, so there had to be ten boxes.

Then, that was when he woke up the rest of the cast members, not minding that they were

tired.

He clanged the pots and pans, and that summoned the cast members one by one.

They all had messy hair and drool-stained faces. Moreover, they had annoyed expressions. This seemed to be the first time they had looked at June in such a way. They usually looked at him with adoration!

"June, I love you, but I want to strangle you right now," Pablo said, massaging the bridge of

his nose as his head ached.

"You better have a good reason for waking us up," Haruki said with a subtle glare.

June pursed his lips before sighing.

"The cupcakes," he started off.

The others looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"We're missing one box of them."
