Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 387 Forced Invitation to Sing

"I, I... understand... We are all family, so please sit down and talk it over..."

"I knew you still had me in your heart, Xiao Qi Qi!"

"Don't use that weird name without permission... I just don't want any weird rumors in the music club tomorrow..."

Seeing Tachibana Ryoko's bloody red lips getting closer and closer in his sight, Yamazaki Hiroshi's consciousness, which was becoming increasingly blurred due to lack of oxygen, suddenly woke up, and took the two of them to sit on the sofa in the hall.

"Tell me, Tachibana, what do you want from me..."

Straightening his messy tie and calming his heavy breathing, Yamazaki Hiroshi asked in a serious tone.

"It's just to help my kid prepare a new song."

"This kid will be performing at the Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards soon. If he can use this opportunity to release a new song, he will definitely become a big hit and recreate the miracle of 'Sakura'!"

Tachibana Ryoko pulled his sleeve with a playful smile, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"Ahem, Miss Xingming, you are a new singer that the company has been promoting in the first half of the year. Our music department will naturally strongly support your new song."

"Didn't I give you access to the song library last week? You can choose any song demo from the company's library, right?"

He took out two bottles of water from the freezer next to him and handed them to the two men, and Yamazaki Hiroshi took the opportunity to escape.

"You know the quality of the songs that have been in the company's music library until now and haven't been picked up by anyone..."

"They came here with this child sincerely. Naturally, they want to ask Section Chief Yamazaki to arrange for the producers below to help customize the song, or if there are suitable new songs, they will give us priority."

Both of them were veterans of Company B and knew each other very well. Naturally, Tachibana Ryoko had no reason to be polite and spoke directly from her heart.

"Please, President Yamazaki."

Hoshina Hanami, who was sitting nearby, holding the bottle of mineral water in her hand like a life-saving straw, also bowed earnestly and asked for help.

"Well, as you know, it's already the season for releasing songs..."

"Although Ms. Yayoi is ill, the song she released before suspending her activities can be regarded as a good start for the company's song season."

"The first-line singers in the company are all working hard to prepare for the release of singles and albums. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of releasing songs at a different time from Yayoi to break through the sales."

Yamazaki Hiroshi still looked businesslike and ignored the sincere requests of the two with a cold face.

"The right to select new songs in the music department is ranked according to the artist's status. If Miss Xingming wants to select a new song, she must submit an application according to the regulations."

"As for new songs, based on the current song production efficiency, even if they are the ones left over by others, it will probably take until the end of the year..."

"Forget about custom singles. I have more than ten custom applications piled up in my hands and I can't accept them for the time being."

As the head of the music department, Hiroshi Yamazaki has extremely rich experience in fighting against artists who "force him to sing songs" at his home. Naturally, he will not easily give in and violate company regulations.

Even though he usually has no way to deal with those lazy producers, he kneels straight and sticks out his lips in front of several master musicians...

But as the head of the music department, he has a very high status in front of the company's artists.

After all, a good song is a weapon for a debut singer to dominate the market...

Even idols, actors and other artists from other fields hope to get a famous song from the music department and achieve "cross-border development."

"Oh, Xiao Qiqi, don't be so heartless... You must have a way, considering our deep friendship..."

"Hey, hey, stop acting like a spoiled brat... Who has any friendship with you..."

Just when Tachibana Ryoko once again launched a "charm offensive" against Yamazaki Hiroshi, Hoshina Hanami hung his head in frustration...

"Even first-tier singers are having a hard time getting a song. It's ridiculous for a newcomer like me to want to release a new song after only debuting for less than half a year..."

Since she was confirmed to be the guest performer at the awards ceremony, the limitation of having only one representative song "Sakura" has put more and more psychological pressure on Hoshina Hanami. So, she frankly asked Tachibana Ryoko to help her prepare a new song.

The two first searched through Bethesda's "old music library" with all their might, but as expected, they failed to find a satisfactory song.

It just so happens that now is the music promotion season, a period when there are “many artists but few songs”.

Even the first-line singers of Bethesda have not been able to select new songs of their choice from the music club. Given Hoshina Hanami's current status, she naturally doesn't even have the chance to listen to the DEMO of the new song.

The luxury of having a customized single was definitely not something she was qualified to ask for at the moment.

Therefore, there is the scene where Tachibana Ryoko brings Hoshina Hanami to the house and tries to "force Yamazaki Hiroshi to sing" in order to save face.

“Hehehehe… Xiao Qiqi, please help me think of a solution…”

"No, no, I can't even breathe, let alone think..."

Seeing Yamazaki Hiroshi being captured on the sofa by Tachibana Ryoko in a "cross armbar" position, and about to surrender...

"President Tachibana... please don't cause trouble for Section Chief Yamazaki..."

"My thoughts are too willful. Let's just..."

Hoshina Hanami, who was about to back out, tried to persuade him with a guilty look on his face.

"Ding... We have reached the tenth floor..."

At the same time, the elevator door in the center of the hall opened.

The tall and thin young man, his face hidden behind sunglasses and a mask, poked his head out of the elevator and looked around...

"You guys are busy, don't worry about me."

Seeing Yamazaki Hiroshi and Tachibana Ryoko entangled in an indescribable way on the sofa, he walked out of the elevator with wind-like steps and went straight to the producer's office area...

"That person is... Xia... Xia..."

After seeing the figure clearly, Yamazaki Hiroshi, whose eyes had rolled back and whose breathing had become rapid, was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body burst into unprecedented strength!
“Descend to the earth!!!”

He roared at the top of his lungs, broke free from Ryoko Tachibana's embrace, which could be described as "muscle hell", and ran towards the man...

"Damn it, Xiao Qi Qi actually has such a slippery escape technique... Wait, what he seemed to be saying was, descend to the earth?"

"So, the one who just passed by was Xia Jun?"

Tachibana Ryoko and Hoshina Hanami were left looking at each other in the rest area.

"Xia Jun!!!!"

"I have been looking forward to your arrival for so long that finally you are here!!!"

On the other side, Yamazaki Hiroshi, with tears streaming down his face, had already grabbed the corner of the man's clothes with both hands.

"Section Chief Yamazaki, long time no see..."

"Ahahahaha, I've been really busy lately. Didn't I come here to look for reports as soon as I had some free time?"

Xia Fan took off his mask and greeted him guiltily.

"President Hanami and President Tachibana, you are here to discuss work with Section Chief Yamazaki, right? Please continue your conversation, I won't disturb you..."

Seeing Hoshina Hanami and Tachibana Ryoko sitting in the rest area, he waved at them as if asking for help.
