From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 737 You're The Next CEO

"Is this the briefcase you've been raving about?" Jay asked. "I know that you're an old soul, but I didn't think you'd be this obsessed with briefcases, too. Although, they are a pretty good collector's item."

June clicked his tongue.

"You're really an idiot."

"Open it," June said, raking his fingers through his hair.

"Oh," Jay said, opening the briefcase like he was in some kind of game show.

"Make it faster," June said, clicking his tongue.

"That's what she said," Jay said, making June roll his eyes.

"You're insufferable."

Jay chuckled loudly—his first genuine laugh of the day.

"It's so easy messing with you," Jay said, still chuckling as he opened the briefcase.

However, as he held the papers in his hands and started reading its contents, all of the humor left his body.

"Mr. Ong," he muttered, looking through the papers.

His eyes widened with every piece he read, making them almost pop out of his head.

"You understand, right?" June asked.

Jay raised his head and continued looking at June with wide eyes.

"What does this mean?" he asked.

"Exactly what you're reading," June answered. "These are evidence against Mr. Ong—strong ones that could remove him from his current position.

"I mean—how do you even have such information?"

June sighed. "It's a long story. However, it came right before I knew I was sick. Now, it feels like the world is telling me to give you and the boys a good future ahead with this powerful information."

"H—how?" Jay asked. "What the fuck! This is nuts! Do you realize how much power we have in our hands right now?"

"I'm aware," June said. "People would die just to get this kind of information."

"However, this could either go good, bad, or worse for us," June continued. "That's why I'll help you. You're the only person suited for this role."

"What do you mean?" Jay asked.

"You need to overtake the company," June smirked. "Have Azure for your own."

Jay's eyes widened, and he let go of the papers, making them scatter on the floor.

June clicked his tongue as he looked at the mess.

"I swear," he said. "Why are you so shocked?"

"I—I can't believe it," Jay stammered. "Me? A CEO?"

"You need to put that degree to better use," June remarked. "Besides, the boys and the girls need someone good as their CEO. I fully trust you, so that's very telling."

"The girls?" Jay asked.

"The new girl group," he said. "We cannot act hasty about this. I believe that there are still some things we need to consider before revealing all of this information."

"I shall plan everything for you," June said. "However, in the event that I die before everything gets executed, then I shall trust in your expertise."

Jay shook his head. "I honestly don't know what to feel about this."

"It's overwhelming," June said. "However, we're already ahead of the enemy. So, just relax and follow everything that I say."

Jay scratched the back of his head.

"Now, let's rest. Tomorrow will be another big day," he continued.

"Do you really think I can do it?" Jay suddenly asked, causing June to turn to him.

"What do you mean?" June asked.

"Can I become a CEO of a company?"

"You can," June said. "Obviously, I probably wouldn't live long enough to see how well you will do. However, you're bound to make mistakes. In the event that you make too many mistakes, I shall come and haunt you even on my deathbed."

"Goodness," Jay said. "You must really be ready to die if you're speaking like that."

June smirked. "I've already died once."

Jay frowned in confusion. "When?"

"Don't sweat about it," June said. "Just keep those pieces of information safe."

"Got it," Jay said, holding onto it for dear life.

"Good," June smiled. "Now, let's go to sleep."

June went to his bed and covered his body with the blanket.

Meanwhile, Jay stood and watched him.

"Can I come in—"

"No," June deadpanned, causing Jay to nod in defeat.

"Okay," he muttered. "Good night, June."

"Good night."

***

Another day passed, and it was now the day of June's performance with the ladies.

Almost everyone was looking forward to the performances, even the mentors themselves.

The production crew made sure that there wouldn't be any spoilers between the teams, so the other mentors didn't know what was in store for them.

They gathered in June's waiting room, observing each other's outfits.

Lee Sik was dressed in an all-white suit, which was very fitting for the sad ballad that he was going to perform.

Meanwhile, Amira was dressed in her usual idol get-up, a little bit darker than what she was used to but nonetheless enhancing her beauty.

Ji-Hyun wore a dramatic red dress, showing everyone that she was the drama herself.

Gun, on the other hand, was wearing the typical street-style clothes that you would see in dancing competitions.

They conversed among themselves, curious about each other's performances but not wanting to give anything away.

"So...," Ji-Hyun started off, clearing her throat. "How did your preparations go?"

"It was...good," Gun said, a little bit on edge.

Lee Sik clicked his tongue.

"You guys are acting very strange. Just describe your performance briefly for us. It's not like we're not going to see it in a couple of minutes."

Gun scratched the back of his head.

"You're right," he said. "Honestly, I think it's already pretty obvious with our outfits. However, the girls are quite excited about this. The win might not mean much to me, but they want the benefit more than anyone."

"Don't they all?" Amira asked. "Well, you could expect a full package performance from us. Don't even think of them as trainees. They look like real idols."

"Woah, that's a hard vouch," Gun said. "I'm looking forward to it then."

"Well," Lee Sik said, clearing his throat.

"Does anybody know what kind of song June's team is going to show? I feel like they're the most secretive one regarding their concept."

"Hmm," Ji-hyun hummed. "Up until now, I don't have the slightest clue of what they're going to do with a song entitled 'Sibling's Love.' I fear it's going to sound like a Momocelon song."

"Isn't it Cocolemon?" Lee Sik asked.

Ji-hyun shrugged. "I'm not sure. My son watches it every day, though. He's so cute with his overalls and tie."

Just then, June entered the room, making the other mentors turn toward him.

Ji-hyun's eyes widened when she saw what June was wearing.

"Overalls and a tie?" she exclaimed.
