Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

"We are both wanderers in this world, there is no need to kill each other."

When Toyokawa Kiyoshi heard Hoshikawa Taku defending him like this, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't help but whisper in regret, "Xingchuan... I'm really sorry about this. Your parents and I have been researching that project for a long time. If no one had caused any trouble, there would have been no losses."

"Even if there's a loss, it's impossible for the loss to be so huge that the entire project will be ruined..."

"Something unexpected happened? Who is it?"

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help asking.

Taku Hoshikawa was not aware of the details of this business, and no one had ever told him in detail.

He only knew that the Toyokawa family had lost 168 billion yen, and after paying off their debts, they still owed 1 billion yen in debt.

Could it be that there is a "mastermind" behind this huge loss?

Fengchuan Qingcao was silent for a moment, then shook his head and whispered: "...We are just business enemies."

He avoided the topic and obviously didn't want to discuss it in depth.

Hoshikawa Takuya knew that this was not the time to ask further questions, so he didn't say anything else. Instead, he secretly took note of the matter in his heart, thinking that he would have the chance to investigate it in detail later.

Toyokawa Kiyoshi raised his head again and said to Mori Minami in a deep voice, "You are right. It was me who caused the Hoshikawa family to suffer such a loss. I feel guilty, so I am willing to help him guarantee it."

He paused, his tone more resolute. "I was expelled from the family without permission and continued to use the Toyokawa family name. His current firm is just getting on track. If you have any ulterior motives, don't target him, target me."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi has always looked like an unreliable drunk.

When saying this, Fengchuan Qingjiao became much more serious, and his eyes finally revealed a hint of the sharpness of a business elite.

Mori Minami blinked her eyes, looking innocent: "Mr. Toyokawa, who do you think I am? Mizuho and I have such a good relationship, why would I 'complain' to outsiders?"

She turned around, leaned gently against the railing, and smiled lazily, "Besides, even if you are expelled from the Toyokawa family, your daughter Xiangzi will still be the heir to the Toyokawa family. As long as her family name remains, no one can question it even if you use the name of the Toyokawa family as a guarantee."

Toyokawa Seikao did not let his guard down because of her words.

He knew that Mori Minami was an excellent actress and any expression or movement of hers could be acting.

She has a smile on her face at the moment, but who can guarantee that she won't turn around and change her expression the next moment?

"So what exactly do you want to say?"

Fengchuan Qinggao asked in a deep voice.

Minami Mori smiled slightly and finally spoke slowly: "When she was filming opposite Senior An He, she mentioned the situation of your agency and asked for my opinion."

"I was really moved after hearing it. There are so many artists in Win-Wing that sometimes I don't get any notices. After all, I'm a senior, and it would be embarrassing if I had to compete for resources with a bunch of girls who are the same age as my daughter."

Fengchuan Qingjiao frowned, not quite understanding what she meant: "Then what do you want to do? Could it be that... you want to change jobs?"

"Haha, of course not."

Mori Minami covered her lips and chuckled, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"I'm doing well at Win-Wing. A bunch of little girls call me senior every day and look at me with admiration. Even if I don't compete, there will be scripts sent to me. Why should I step out of my comfort zone?"

She turned her eyes slightly with a meaningful smile.

"But... I think this is a good opportunity for my daughter Xiaomu."

"If possible, I hope she will sign with your firm."

Hoshikawa Taku opened his eyes slightly, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Wakaba Mu was the candidate that Hoshikawa Taku had already selected for signing. He originally wanted to use the succubus Xiangzi to "lure" her into joining the agency.

But now, the other party's mother is actually willing to take the initiative to pack up Ruoye Mu and send him to her door?

Surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly calmed down and thought rationally about the interests involved.

After a moment, Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyes and looked at Mori Minami opposite him, his tone steady but with a hint of inquiry.

"Ms. Mori, are you kidding? Xiao Mu's future is limitless. Any large firm would be willing to open its doors to her. Are you really willing to let her sign a contract with me?"

Chapter 191 This is not domination, it is love.

"I wouldn't joke about something like that."

Mori Minami chuckled when she heard that.

"Like I said earlier, resources at large firms are highly sought after. Xiaomu and I are mother and daughter. If she joins my firm, people will inevitably think she got her resources through my connections."

"This will not only cause her classmates to reject her, but may also affect her future development."

"So...it would be great if there was an agency I could trust that was willing to sign Xiao Mu."

She blinked gently, a smile on her lips, her eyes moving between Hoshikawa Taku and Toyokawa Seikao.

"If you agree, Taku-kun, I will introduce you to some suitable resources if I come across them, okay?"

After hearing this, Toyokawa Seikao's expression darkened even further. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Minami... Does Xiaomu know that you want to help her find an agency? Does she want to become an actress herself?"

Mori Minami smiled calmly, and said matter-of-factly, "As my daughter, Xiaomu is bound to enter the entertainment industry in the future. She has never rejected it. I am just making plans for her in advance."

"only……"

The smile on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a hint of sadness.

"You know that Xiaomu and Xiangzi used to form a band, right? Because of 'someone', the band disbanded, and Xiaomu never smiled again after that."

"As a mother who loves her daughter, I feel heartbroken every day looking at Xiaomu's expressionless, doll-like face."

She held her face lightly and sighed, "If only she could become happy again..."

Having said that, in fact, Hoshikawa Taku has already understood Mori Minami's intention.

"...Ms. Mori, do you actually want us to enlighten Xiao Mu and convince her to enter the entertainment industry?"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to talk to smart people!"

Mori Minami looked at the two of them with a smile, "Well, can you do it?"

When she asked, she also took a special look at Toyokawa Seikao.

Just now she gave face to Toyokawa Qinggao, saying that it was because of "someone" but she didn't say it explicitly.

But in fact, everyone present knew that the culprit who caused the disbandment of CRYCHIC was Toyokawa Kiyoshi.

If it weren't for him, CRYCHIC wouldn't have disbanded, and there wouldn't have been Mygo and AveMujica.

Toyokawa Seikao also felt guilty. He had no reason to refuse the condition proposed by Mori Minami.

“…I’ll give it a try.”

He replied.

Just at this moment, a member of the director team came hurriedly to find Mori Minami.

"Ms. Mori, the next segment is about to start filming. Do you have time now?"

Hearing this, Mori Minami glanced at the director's staff, then nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "Well, I'll be there now."

She stood up straight, looked back at Hoshikawa Taku and Toyokawa Seikan, and smiled meaningfully.

"Then it's a deal. You guys cheer up Xiao Mu and convince her to enter the entertainment industry, and I'll keep it a secret for you."

She paused and chuckled, "Of course, if you can't convince Xiao Mu, that's fine. I won't leak the secret. After all... I'm not a bad person."

After saying that, she gently raised her hand, tidied her drooping hair, and then left with light steps.

After watching Minami Mori leave, Taku Hoshikawa turned to look at Seikawa Toyokawa beside him and found that his face was still not looking good.

He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Qinggao, what's wrong? Is it so difficult to convince Ruoye Mu to enter the entertainment industry? Why do you have such a sad face all the time?"

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but... I'm worried that Xiao Mu doesn't want to be an actor at all. This is completely Mori Minami's selfishness."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi sighed, his face gloomy, and suddenly asked, "Hoshikawa, what do you think of Mori Minami as a mother?"

Hoshikawa Taku thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Mori's control is a bit strong. She has already planned Ruoye Mu's future path. However, this is also because she cares too much about the child. It's not hard to understand..."

This type of family is actually quite common in East Asia. They always plan their children's future path on their own, including work, marriage, and having children...

If the child does not follow the path planned by the child, the child will become dissatisfied and angry.

If their children resist, they will say righteously - this is not domination, this is love!

Takuya Hoshikawa admitted that this kind of domination did contain love, but it was a damp love, just like a damp cotton jacket worn in winter, which could not be frozen to death but could not be taken off.

Although Mori Minami's attitude towards Wakaba Mutsushi is a bit offensive, it is also understandable.

However, Toyokawa Kiyoshi suddenly sneered.

"Care? It would be great if she really cared. She obviously never cared about Xiao Mu."

Xingchuan Taku frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Toyokawa Kiyoshi raised his eyelids, looked directly at Hoshikawa Taku, and slowly said, "Do you know why Xiaomu and my Xiangzi have such a good relationship?"

"Because her mother, Mori Minami, is basically never at home, she never cares about Xiao Mu, and has locked her in her room since she was a child, letting her entertain herself with her dolls."

"Since Xiaomu felt sorry for her, Xiangzi would always bring her home to play, which is how they became childhood sweethearts. If Mori Minami had fulfilled her motherly duties, Xiaomu wouldn't have become the doll that can't even smile now."

"She's still pretending to sympathize with Xiaomu, even though she's the one who raised him to this point..."

Toyokawa Seikatsu seemed to have a lot of opinions about Mori Minami and complained a lot, which surprised Hoshikawa Takuto.

Is Minami Mori really as bad as Toyokawa Kiyoshi says?

Doesn’t that mean that Xiao Mu is, to some extent, a “left-behind child” who can only play house with himself all day long?

Taku Hoshikawa thought about it and said something for Minami Mori.

"After all, Ruoye Mu is her daughter... She can't possibly be completely unconcerned, right? Maybe she's just too busy with her career."

Hoshikawa Taku could also see that Mori Minami's words of concern for Wakaba Mu were actually a bit of acting, but he felt that as a mother, Mori Minami should still care about Mu and would not be completely heartless.

At the very least, she should be much more competent than the "drunkard" next to her.

At least he didn't add burden to his daughter and let her work to support herself.

Toyokawa Kiyoshige could also see that Hoshikawa Taku was skeptical about what he said.

But who can blame him for being a useless father who spends his daughter's working money on alcohol all day? So his words are not very credible in the eyes of others.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi also tactfully stopped talking about this topic.

Maybe it was really as Taku Hoshikawa said, that he was too prejudiced against Minami Mori, and that she was also silently caring about Mutsugu in places where he couldn't see.

After all, they are mother and daughter.

Chapter 192: Mizuno Ai finally wakes up.

After parting with Minami Mori, Taku Hoshikawa and Kiyoshi Toyokawa picked up An and Subaru, and they all returned to Tokyo together.

It was only the afternoon at this time, and Hoshikawa Taku originally wanted to call Momoka and Nina over and have the three of them sign the contract together.

But at this time, something suddenly interrupted Hoshikawa Taku's plan.

Mizuno Ai's agent called Hoshikawa Taku and said that Mizuno Ai is now out of danger and has woken up.

She hopes to meet Taku Hoshikawa.

Hoshikawa Taku also cares about Mizuno Ai's affairs.

He asked An and Subaru to go back to class first and sign the contract when they were free later. He then took a taxi alone to the hospital where Mizuno Ai was being treated.

As soon as he got off the car, Taku Hoshikawa saw the chaotic scene in front of him.

The hospital entrance was crowded with reporters and media personnel. Cameras on tripods, shoulder-mounted cameras, and mobile phone live broadcast equipment were so densely packed that the entrance was almost completely blocked.

Although two days have passed, Mizuno Ai's case is still a hot topic, and everyone is concerned about her safety, including reporters with the logos of major TV stations.

The crowd kept asking questions fiercely, and many reporters waved microphones, trying to dig out more information from the official spokesperson of the firm who was blocking the hospital entrance.

"How is Mizuno Ai doing now? Can you tell me about her recovery progress?"

"Fans are very worried about her. Can she come out and let everyone know she's safe?"

"Will she continue her idol activities after this accident? Does the agency have any specific arrangements?"

The spokesperson stood at the door, facing the group of relentless reporters with a tired look on his face.
