Genius Manager: I Can Make All Girls Talented!
Chapter 51: Chapter 51 - Universal Music Group

For some unknown reason, Clara seemed to have really liked Yuna's attitude when she acted like a total jerk toward her.

Darius didn't try to understand what was going inside her mind as girls were way too complicated to be understood. He just let her be since, at the end of the day, it made things easier for him.

Darius quickly got her a contract to sign, and she did so without wasting any more time.

"So, when can I move in?" She exclaimed with a smile.

Darius shrugged. "Right now."

"However, before that…let me just do one thing really quickly."

Darius got closer to her and placed his hand on her right shoulder.

He heard a distinct noise followed by the usual feminine voice.

[Do you want Clara to join your Talent Squad?]

Darius had no hesitation in his answer as he replied in his mind, 'Yes.'

It was now done. Darius had managed to fill the three spots for his Talent Squad. All he needed to do now was make them grow and become famous.

He wouldn't even think about recruiting more people since that wouldn't necessarily help him. It was better to have three stars representing before doing anything else because by then, he would be able to recruit bigger actresses, singers, and those types of people.

That's why he would only focus on those three for the time being.

[To increase the size of your Talent Squad, you will need to spend 1000 Popularity.]

'Ah, it's not too bad…' Darius thought as he remembered easily earning 100 Popularity with a few quests. However, there was one thing he disliked about that Popularity: the fact that he was reliant on the system to open it. He had never been able to earn some without the help from the system whatsoever.

-Beep!

A distinct noise once more resounded in his mind as it seemed to have heard him.

[Popularity can be earned as you get more popular in real life. The quests are only there to help you grow faster.]

Darius nodded. 'So, I can obtain popularity. I just need to be more popular, huh? Well, it shouldn't take too much time for that to happen.'

It had been three days since Clara had joined the mansion he had rented, and things were progressing quite smoothly for Darius.

Clara had managed to get really good friends with Yuna for some reason. They were always with one another, murmuring to each other. As for Avery…well, she was still living in her parent's house which was quite far from the mansion he had bought. So, they didn't have a lot of chances to see one another.

Still, Clara and Yuna being close to each other was quite strange for Darius as he would have never guessed something like that to happen.

He deduced that the reason they were so close was most likely because Clara still hadn't gotten more intimate with Darius.

She hadn't received his famous massage yet. In fact, Darius hadn't gotten much action in the past few days as he had gotten completely swamped with tons of work.

He also had a lot of time to play around with Clara and she wasn't like Yuna or Avery. Avery had been quite naive and innocent. As for Yuna, Darius had been helped by the system to recruit her. However, now he was completely alone, this would be his first real test at charming someone. That was another reason why he hadn't tried anything.

Still, the work had been a lot.

Avery had been growing at an insane rate on Twitchy, and he was getting contacted by all kinds of people to meet with her to talk and do stuff like that. Yuna's post had also done wonders as they were contacted by a bunch of labels.

In fact, Darius was currently talking to Yuna about the offers she had received. The first one they got was from the Apex Music Studio, which still seemed to want to work with her. Jack still hadn't given up on charming Yuna and getting some well-deserved revenge on Darius. However, there was no chance that Darius would even let something like that happen, so he discarded that offer.

The second offer he had gotten wasn't from a terrible music label, but it also wasn't the best…Darius didn't know why, but it clearly lacked something. After all, he had never heard of it in the future, so it wouldn't become extraordinary.

However, it was the third offer that was completely mindblowing.

It was from one of the top music labels in the entire world. For some reason, they had gotten notice of Yuna. Darius wasn't sure how or why…but it was the case.

Universal Music Group was the music label that had contacted them to meet up with Avery. They said they were extremely interested in meeting her and hearing her sing face-to-face.

That's why, faced with those three options, Darius managed to choose the best option with his eyes closed. In fact, they were currently in a car heading toward the Universal Music Group's building, where Yuna would be able to showcase her talents and possibly strike a deal to make her debut song.

"Are you sure they're even going to take me…?" Yuna murmured, extremely nervous over this entire matter.

It was the first time in her life that she would be meeting with a bunch of big shots.

In a few minutes, they finally reached the building, which was even bigger than what Darius had decided to rent. They were rich, really rich, and it showed.

Darius opened the door to Yuna and let her go in first as he walked right behind her.

However, he had no choice but to grit his teeth when he looked at the person who was waiting in front of the door.

It was Colin.

He had finally decided to make his move as he realized that calling Yuna over and over again hadn't worked.

'I knew this was too good to be true…' Darius shook his head.
