From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show



"I do want to help you with that," Kwan said.

Lei felt excitement course through his veins. He didn't think it would be difficult, but he also didn't think it would be this easy.

"So, with that," Lei started off, about to get the prepared contract from his briefcase.

"But," Kwan suddenly said, making Lei halt.

"I think you came to the wrong person."

Lei frowned deeply as he placed the briefcase back on the table. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Phoenix Entertainment, huh?" he asked. "I'm sorry, but only my uncle has the authority to appoint another person to become its CEO-or the law...or maybe his boss!" he said.

Lei was utterly confused. "His boss," Lei muttered. "Isn't it you? The owner of Phoenix?"

"Ah!" he exclaimed, even going as far as standing from his seat. "You're talking about THAT Phoenix-the one that has Phoenix Entertainment."

Lei became even more confused-if that was possible. "Yes," he said. "Is there any other Phoenix?"

"Yes," Kwan said. "I see that we have a misunderstanding," he muttered.

He sat right back on the couch, looking at Lei with humor in his eyes.

"You're finding this funny?" Lei asked, not believing what he was seeing.

Kwan let out a chuckle and covered his mouth. "Sorry, sorry," he muttered. "This is really amazing. I can't believe it has come to this."

"I don't run Phoenix," he smiled.

"I own FeeNicks," he explained. "You know, that AI company that makes taxes easier! Now, we even have ChatNickPT. It's the reason why my house is so big right now!"

Lei felt like he was transported to the underworld.

"FeeNicks?" he muttered.

"Yes," Kwan said. "I have been curating it since I was young. Nobody believed in me. I asked for money from some relatives for a start-up, but they never gave me a chance. My uncle, Young Do, was the one who opposed it the most. Now, look at where I am. I was able to achieve this all by myself!"

"So, you're not the 'head' of Phoenix?" Lei asked, sounding absent-minded.

"Oh, I wish!" he exclaimed. "Then, I would have absolved my uncle from that company much sooner."

***

Minjun, Lena, and June were sat on the long table-just the three of them. The maids and the other workers gossipped among themselves, none of them wanting to go in due to the tension felt in the room.

Minjun smiled as he looked at his mom and June. They were the people he loved the most in the world, so he couldn't be happier with what was happening.

"Let's eat!" Minjun exclaimed. "It's been a while since I've eaten with three people like this."

Lena glanced at her son and watched as he ate with gusto. Somehow, that dissipated her anger for a moment. She pursed her lips and stroked her son's hair.

"Eat well," she softly said, taking Minjun and June by surprise.

They definitely thought she was going to explode as soon as they started eating. However, much to their surprise, she silently ate.

A small smile was constantly on Minjun's lips as they ate their dinner. June couldn't help but smile, too. What Minjun was truly craving was a complete family-he could see that.

After their meal, however, it seemed like the bomb had finally ticked.

Lena stood from her seat, the bottom of her chair scratching loudly against the floor.

Then, she looked June in the eyes, who didn't back down from her gaze. She considered turning away for a moment just because June's face was too much to handle, but she kept their gaze until the end.

"Let's talk," she said.

June smirked as he stood from his seat. "Sure," he said. "It's what I have been waiting for."

Lena's eyes narrowed while June continued to smirk. Meanwhile, Minjun watched them with wary eyes.

"Mom," he said. "Don't kill him, alright?"

Lena merely smirked, making Minjun nervous. Then, she gestured for June to follow after her.

Minjun wanted to follow after them, but Lena only had to glare at him for a second before he stopped following them.

Finally, they arrived in front of a room. Lena opened the door, revealing none other than her bedroom.

June's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Well, I didn't expect to enter your room," he remarked. Before he could utter another statement, he felt the air get knocked out of his body.

Lena held onto June's neck at lightning speed, pressing dangerously hard.

June was taken aback. He didn't expect that! She was even much better than some of the people he had fought with when he was still in the gang!

But then again, Lena was still no match with June. In no time, he had flipped their positions.

However, instead of holding her by the neck, June held onto both her shoulders instead.

Lena pursed her lips, trying to keep her emotions in check.

From outside the door, Minjun and the other workers tried to figure out what they were talking about. However, the only thing they could hear was banging sounds near the door. Minjun pursed his lips and turned to the workers. "You don't think they're-"

"Don't finish that thought, young man," the old maid muttered.

Inside the room, Lena and June finally separated, now occupying the bed with their backs turned away from each other.

"Don't we need to face each other in order to talk?" June asked.

Lena, still with red cheeks, pursed her lips and shook her head. "No," she said. "You stay put.

This is the only way we can talk with each other."

June sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose.

"Fine," he said. "If that's what you want."

Lena cleared her throat. "Why did you come here?" she asked. "I've already imposed that I don't want you coming near Minjun at all costs. Do you have a death wish or something?"

June sighed. "Honestly, that's something I cannot do. No matter how hard you try to push me away, I already consider Minjun as my younger brother."

"However, I technically didn't break your rule this time around."

"I didn't come here for him."

Lena scoffed. "Stop lying. Who else are you going to come here for?"

Lena waited for his answer, but it didn't come within a few seconds.

Then, before she could process what was happening, June was already in front of her. He

managed to sneak up on her without making a sound.

"You," he finally revealed.

"I came here just for you- the real owner of Phoenix."
