Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

138: Chapter 138 Reborn as a Superstar? My Brothers Are All Bosses!Wednesday afternoon in the Singularity Technology conference room, sunlight filtered through the blinds into fine flecks of light, falling onto the open overseas operation report for ”star path: reboot.” Zhou Yurou’s fingertip slid across the red data showing ”Southeast Asian downloads exceeding 800,000, revenue over 2.5 million USD,” but her brow was slightly furrowed. ”President Zhang, the game’s popularity overseas is still rising, but we lack a high-profile national spokesperson to hold the scene. Many Southeast Asian players report ’not knowing the game characters, weak sense of immersion.’ Additionally, we need to customize a theme song; the pure music currently being used isn’t catchy enough.”

Zhang Fan leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table. ”star path: reboot” had gained a foothold in Southeast Asia thanks to localized operations and high-quality plots, but to further open the market, an influential spokesperson was indeed needed—one who could attract new players and enhance brand awareness. ”How is the screening of the candidate list going?” he asked, his gaze sweeping over the form handed by Zhou Yurou, which listed over a dozen artists from Southeast Asia and China, ranging from trending idols to powerhouse singers, densely filling two pages.

”Domestic artists either have quotes that are too high or styles that don’t match the game; Southeast Asian artists lack global influence, and I’m afraid it won’t connect well during subsequent promotion in the European and American markets.” Zhou Yurou sighed, pointing to a name on the form. ”For example, this Indonesian singer is famous locally, but few people in China know them, making subsequent crossover events difficult to execute.”

Liu Ruyan, sitting nearby and holding a pen, suddenly spoke up, ”How about finding an artist with a ’comeback’ vibe? Our game’s plot is about the protagonist rising from a low point; if the spokesperson has a similar experience, it might resonate with players.”

”That’s a good idea.” Zhang Fan nodded. Just as he was about to discuss further, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Song Zhiwei walked in holding a tablet, her face filled with excitement. ”Zhang Fan, come and see this! I was just rewatching ’Chinas Good Voice’ and found a particularly suitable candidate!”

She placed the tablet on the conference table and clicked on a video—on the screen, a girl in a simple white T-shirt stood on stage, holding a guitar, her eyes clear but with a hint of tenacity. As the intro played, the girl began singing an original song. The melody was melodious, and the lyrics, ”Looking up from the mud, one can also see the starry sky,” instantly caught everyone’s attention.

”Her name is Lin Wanyi, she’s the dark horse contestant this season.” Song Zhiwei pointed at the girl on the screen, her tone certain. ”An orphan who stayed in an orphanage until she was 14, she later saved money by working to study music. Her advancement in this competition is entirely due to the songs she wrote herself. She fits our game’s ’comeback’ theme perfectly! Moreover, her voice is very recognizable; customizing a theme song would definitely be appropriate.”

Zhou Yurou quickly searched for Lin Wanyi’s information online, her brow gradually relaxing. ”The data shows she has strong original capabilities and hasn’t signed with a management company yet, so her quote shouldn’t be too high. However... her national popularity isn’t enough; she’s currently only famous within the competition circle. Can she support an overseas endorsement?”

”You don’t have to worry about that,” Song Zhiwei said with a smile. ”I’ve looked into it, and Lin Wanyi is actually the long-lost biological daughter of the Lu family—the same Lu family that owns Yunqi Technology, which does cloud services! The Lu family has three sons: one is the CEO of Yunqi, one is a Movie King in the entertainment industry, and one is a tech mogul. If Lin Wanyi successfully reunites with her family, with the support of the Lu family’s resources, her national popularity will rise quickly. Furthermore, Yunqi Technology’s cloud services can perfectly interface with our game for future server expansion and overseas deployment.”

Zhang Fan’s heart stirred as he picked up the tablet to examine Lin Wanyi’s information more closely—the girl in the photo had shoulder-length short hair and a small butterfly birthmark on the web of her left hand; her smile was clean yet revealed a streak of stubbornness. He recalled the ”potential key figure” prompts the system occasionally popped up. Just as he wanted to delve deeper, a familiar hum suddenly sounded in his mind, and pale blue system text slowly emerged:

[Today’s Intel: Lin Wanyi is the core heroine of this volume, ”Reborn Diva? My Brothers are all Big Shots!” The current rebirth node is ”3 days before the Lu family reunion.” She possesses two special attributes: ”Original Music Talent” and ”Past Life Memories.” The Yunqi Technology behind her has hidden cooperation with mysterious overseas capital and will subsequently become a key related party to the ”Singularity Collapse” plan.]

The system’s prompt caused Zhang Fan’s pupils to contract slightly—so Lin Wanyi was a reborn individual, and she was connected to overseas capital! This wasn’t just about finding a spokesperson; it was a key opportunity to understand the movements of overseas capital. He set down the tablet, his tone firm. ”We’ll go with her! Zhou Yurou, arrange for someone to contact Lin Wanyi’s temporary assistant as soon as possible and propose a cooperation intent. The terms can be generous—not just an endorsement, but we can also help her with a personal music project, a resource exchange.”

”Okay! I’ll get right on it!” Zhou Yurou immediately stood up and walked out with the materials, her steps much lighter than before.

Liu Ruyan watched Lin Wanyi’s performance on the screen and couldn’t help but remark, ”Her original talent is truly strong. The chord arrangement in that song just now was very special. If she can customize a theme song for the game, it will definitely be a hit.”

Song Zhiwei leaned back in her chair, looking at Zhang Fan with a slight smile. ”I didn’t recommend the wrong person, did I? This girl, Lin Wanyi, not only has strength but also great resilience. She’s a bit like you—both of you fought your way up from the bottom on your own.”

Zhang Fan smiled but didn’t respond, though he was calculating in his heart—Lin Wanyi was a reborn individual, so she must know many things from her past life, including the fate of the Lu family and the conspiracies of overseas capital. Approaching her through cooperation would not only solve the game’s endorsement problem but also allow him to plan ahead to deal with the upcoming ”Singularity Collapse” plan, killing two birds with one stone.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Jingshen: [Help me check the equity structure of Yunqi Technology, especially the shareholding of overseas capital. The more detailed, the better.]

Gu Jingshen replied quickly: [Received! Yunqi Technology has been making a lot of moves lately, seemingly in talks with an overseas tech company. I’ll have my subordinates check it out. By the way, why are you looking for Yunqi? Thinking of cooperating on cloud services?]

Zhang Fan replied: [More than that. It’s related to an important person. I’ll tell you in detail once the investigation is done.]

Putting down his phone, Zhang Fan looked at Song Zhiwei. ”Are you familiar with the Lu family? If something goes wrong with Lin Wanyi’s family reunion, can we help out?”

”I’ve been to the Lu family a few times with my dad; we’re not particularly close, but they’ll still give us some face.” Song Zhiwei thought for a moment. ”However, I heard that the Lu family currently has an adopted daughter named Lu Xiaoxiao, who seems quite favored. Lin Wanyi’s reunion might not go smoothly. If problems really arise, I can have my father step in to mediate.”

”Good, I’m relieved to hear that.” Zhang Fan nodded, his plan becoming even clearer—regardless of whether Lin Wanyi’s reunion went smoothly, he had to secure this cooperation, not just for the development of Singularity, but also to deal with the impending crisis.

At this moment, backstage at ”Chinas Good Voice,” Lin Wanyi had just finished her rehearsal and was sitting in a corner of the dressing room, clutching a crumpled photo—it was a photo of her with Mother Lu from her past life. Having been reborn for three days, she reminded herself every day: ”I cannot go back to the Lu family, I cannot trust Lu Xiaoxiao again, and I cannot give everything for so-called family affection anymore.”

Her phone suddenly rang; it was her temporary assistant calling. ”Wanyi, there’s good news! Singularity Technology wants you to be the spokesperson for ’star path: reboot’ and also wants you to customize a theme song. Their representative said the terms are negotiable, and they can even help you with a personal music project!”

Lin Wanyi was stunned, the photo in her hand nearly falling to the ground. Singularity Technology? Zhang Fan? She vaguely remembered from her past life that this company had only just started before she died; she hadn’t expected them to be so powerful in this life, even taking the initiative to seek her out for cooperation. She took a deep breath, her gaze becoming determined. ”Help me set up an appointment with their representative; I want to talk in person.”

She knew this was her best chance to escape the fate of her past life—by leveraging Singularity Technology’s resources and standing firm with her own music, she could stay away from the Lu family’s conflicts and live a different life. Little did she know that this cooperation would not only change her destiny but also pull her into a struggle concerning the life and death of Singularity Technology.
