Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 114

The much-talked-about—and much-troubled—’Idol Project 10′ had finally reached the moment to draw its grand finale.

With only the live broadcast left to select the final ten debut members, the production team was now grappling with an unexpected problem.

Choi Won Ha was fortunately in a position to debut on his own merit, but there was another pressing issue at hand.

“Make sure Chris gets eliminated.”

It was a subtle but firm order from the revered chairwoman of the headquarters.

Whether it was the station chief, who had rushed to meet the chairwoman at the time, that informed DW Entertainment—the parent company—or whether the company’s CEO himself received word, yet another reminder came down: “Do not disappoint the chairwoman in even the slightest way.”

The problem was that Chris showed no signs of dropping out willingly. Although his momentum had significantly waned after he caught a cold just before the third round of voting and had to give up his main vocal position during the rearranged performance round, his fandom remained incredibly solid—he still ranked eighth, solidly within debut territory.

Since recovering from his cold, he’d been showing great form again, and the explosive brotherly chemistry between him and his close younger brother Jin Young was gradually turning public opinion in his favor once more.

– Look at how Dong Dong finds Dong Dong so cute T_T

– Jin Young really gets extra affectionate when he’s next to Chris.

– I thought Chris only had older sisters—how does he pull off such an authentically doting older-brother smile? lolol

Jin Young, ranked seventh, had also comfortably passed the third voting round and secured his spot in the debut lineup.

At this rate, Chris might actually debut after all. The production team was deeply troubled.

They couldn’t tamper with the vote counts again—suspicion had already been raised once. Especially during this crucial final vote, any manipulation would almost certainly be exposed. Hadn’t they already experienced firsthand the overwhelming firepower of Chris’s fandom? Last time, they’d barely avoided disaster by quickly reinstating him through a revival round; without that, the production team would likely be undergoing prosecutorial investigations after police raids by now.

Since vote manipulation was off the table, only one extreme option remained.
