Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear-Chapter 326 - 10 Million. Deal?

[GHiL created the group chat and named the Group Healing Arts Club]

[GHiL added 4 people. See more.]

[GHiL: @Rayen'sNo.1Hater can you add the others?]

After sending that, Gil went to the toilet for a moment.

[Rayen'sNo.1Hater added 8 people in the group.]

[Rayen'sNo.1Hater: I don't know Yuzuka and Miles's accounts. I'll ask for a while.]

[LikeLike_SEEDZ: Yey, another group chat!]

[LikeLike_SEEDZ changed Rayen'sNo.1Hater's nickname to Old Man Rayeye.]

[LikeLike_SEEDZ changed JIJI_SEEDZ nickname to Ajiji.]

[LikeLike_SEEDZ changed...]

In a span of less than ten seconds, all of the nicknames of everyone in SEEDZ had been changed by her.

[Risisi: This group isn't for you to play around with, Xi Huan.]

[LikeLike_SEEDZ changed his own nickname to Fairy Xi Huan.]

[Fairy Xi Huan: Aye! I'm already done playing around~]

[Old Man Rayeye added 2 people.]

[Yuzuka Chan: Hello, hello!]

[ForeverForYu: Yo.]

When Gil came back, he saw that the group chat had already been flooded with numerous messages.

[Navinini: Let's talk about the plan we've come up with earlier to the others who weren't present during the meeting.]

Immediately after sitting down, Gil presented the things they talked about to the group chat.

[GHiL: All Units of SEEDZ will regather at the Gyeongwon Founding Festival and perform a mass cleansing. I will compose the proposal:

- A short musical performance

- Invited external idols

- Concept? (Yet to be decided)

Your goal is to achieve 50,000 resonance to lift your activity suspension. We haven't discussed our plan for this.]

[Yuzuka Chan: You're suspended? @Old Man Rayeye]

[Old Man Rayeye removed his nickname.]

[Rayen'sNo.1Hater: Haha...]

[ForeverForYu: What's up with that nickname?]

[Rayen'sNo.1Hater: Haha... @Yuzuka Chan Yes... That's why we need to gather 50,000 resonance to lift our suspension.]

[Yuzuka Chan: Then, I'll do my best to gather my friends to attend! After all, we're all on vacation.]

[Rayen'sNo.1Hater: Thank you...]

[Navinini: @GHiL I have a plan to gather more people.]

The entire group was curious and stopped talking.

[Navinini: I plan to use the ghosting method.]

[Navinini: In simple words... "I ghost you, you run after me" tactic.]

Adrian further explained his so-called plan to the group.

***

Gil's eyes had very large dark circles, looking like a panda as he walked through the corridor leading to the faculty room. Today was the last day of the proposal submission, and fortunately, they were able to finish it on time.

As soon as he reached the faculty room, he knocked on the door. Without waiting for a response, he opened it and walked in, bowing to the teachers who were just about to head home.

As usual, Ms. Jin was buried under mountains of paper works in her desk. However, since she was always too efficient, these mountains of paperwork were all completed.

She soon noticed Gil's presence and pried her eyes away from the document in her hand.

"Ms. Jin, here's our club's proposal." Gil handed her the paper in his hand.

This was the reason for the dark circles under his eyes.

Ms. Jin stared at the paper in his hands, contemplating whether to make Gil have a hard time. However, Gil seemed to have sensed this.

He quickly put down the paper on her desk before pulling out something from his bag.

"Hehe, Ms. Jin. I know you're tired. I also brought along some drinks for you. What do you want? Coffee, tea, or juice?"

This was a suggestion made by Adrian when he heard about Rayen's difficulty in appeasing Gyeongwon's Affiliated High School's club coordinator.

Even though Gil was an experienced man from his past life, having lived a very honest life, he had never resorted to using such means. Only a person like Adrian, who could be friends with everyone and form a large network of connections, could think of this idea.

"... I want juice."

Okay, maybe she would let him off.

Gil smiled. "As you wish."

He opened the can of juice away from her desk, careful not to spill on any of the documents on it before handing it to Ms. Jin.

With one sip, Ms. Jin quietly took the paper from the desk and read it with her eyes. While waiting for her decision, Gil's hands were cold in anticipation. After a while, she nodded.

"I'll approve this."

Gil let out a sigh of relief.

Bribery really is a must for difficult people! Adrian is truly a genius!

However, there was one more thing he should do.

"Ms. Jin, can I know the performance slots for the festival?"

"...." Ms. Jin almost choked after one sip of the juice. She glared at Gil under her eyeglasses.

Gil immediately, sent her another bribe. This time, food.

"Hehe, Ms. Jin. I know just drinking juice without something to eat isn't good for the stomach. Curry bread, snack bar, or sandwich?"

The glare from her eyes mellowed. "I want all."

Gil hurriedly handed her everything.

"Speak," Ms. Jin said.

"The finale slot..."

"....."

If she knew that he would specifically aim for this spot, she wouldn't have definitely let him speak. She even wanted to give back the juice and food he gave her. However, another person didn't give her the chance.

Suddenly, a familiar cocky voice spoke from the door of the faculty room.

"The finale slot is already ours." Mr. Jay approached Ms. Jin's desk as he stared at Gil. "What? You even want to take that away after taking our storage room?"

Ms. Jin's head immediately throbbed in pain.

"However, if you want to do that, you should have the means to do it," Mr. Jay continued with a smile.

Here comes the trouble.

As Gil was a former member of the Elite Club, he knew just how petty Mr. Jay could be.

Seo Jayu, stage name SEOJAY or JAY for short. Shortly after graduating from high school, he immediately tried his shot at being a rapper idol. However, his career did not really take off, so he just went on to become a teacher in Gyeongwon. He wasn't someone influential, nor was he someone famous. However, his mother was.

Aria Song. If the current generation has Yeon Miwol. The past generation had Aria.

That's why, even though Jay wasn't famous, with the backing from his mother, he's been roaming freely without care like a dog with oversized balls.

He was a fresh face in the industry, but the entire faculty didn't even want to deal with him. One shouldn't forget that Gyeongwon University and its Affiliated schools value a person's rank in the showbiz industry. So, even though they didn't want to give Jay face, they had to give it to his mother.

With this kind of connection, Jay had become a menace. Whenever he could, he would try to grab on to every good thing, revealing the big balls he had, which was his mother.

Fortunately, he wouldn't try to make big trouble, also because of his mother. Probably the largest trouble he made was bullying his classmate from his high school days, which led to the classmate's accidental death, but because he wasn't directly involved in the death, he wasn't implicated. And maybe it was the world's good grace that his career did not take off that this matter did not surface to the public. Cause no one is interested in a minor rapper idol.

Gil didn't want to deal with him either, but only if he didn't have the means.

However, not right now. He dared to provoke this dog because he had backing.

Gil turned to Ms. Jin. "How much?"

Raising his brow in surprise, Jay also turned to Ms. Jin, unwilling to be defeated. "Tell him, Ms. Jin. How much?"

"..." Ms. Jin feigned a cough. "What are you talking about in school grounds?"

She could explicitly accept drinks as bribes, but talking about money was a different issue.

Jay laughed. "C'mon, Ms. Jin, there are no other people here."

Mr. Min, who hadn't yet left, was at the corner. "....."

Since Jay said that there was no one around, Ms. Jin sighed.

"I give up," Ms. Jin said, looking at Gil. "You know, the Elite Club had reserved the finale slot. You should also give up."

However Gil refused to do so.

He raised his hands. "1 million?"

Jay laughed, his laughter even echoing outside the corridor.

Gil frowned. "1.5?"

Jay's laughter didn't die. It was too irritating, pricking Gil's eardrums.

Unable to bear it any longer, he raised his stakes.

"10 mil?"

Suddenly, Jay stopped laughing.

"....."

"10 million? Deal?"

Ms. Jin's eyes darted toward Jay, seemingly hesitant.

Gil really wanted to slap Jay on his face. And so, he raised it once more.

"Fine. 20."

This was already a substantial amount just to get this grand finale slot in a university festival.

Finally, Ms. Jin moved. She swept some of the documents away and then quickly typed on her computer keyboard. After a while, Gil's phone vibrated.

He quickly pulled it out.

Ms. Jin had sent the necessary documents for donations to the school to him. Of course, this money would be used for the upcoming festival. She was an ethical teacher, doing this for the sake of the school and not for her own use.

At the same time, she said, "The finale spot will be yours."

'Truly too efficient.'

Jay frowned. Gil smiled.

"Thank you, Ms. Jin. I'll make sure to transfer our donation to the school after the festival ends."

After that, Gil left with a victorious smile. Before passing by Jay, he didn't forget to wink at him. "Sir, I have means, okay?"

"....."

When Gil passed through the exit, he immediately pulled out his phone and sent the message to the group.

[Gil: I've secured the spot. Make sure to pay on time.]

He also included the screenshot of the documents that Ms. Jin sent him.

Just then, the door to the faculty opened with Jay storming out. After a while, the door opened once again.

This time, it was Mr. Min who exited, quickly approaching Gil.

"Kid."
