Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

She curled up in the corner of the room, her cell phone pressed to her ear, her eyes empty, and her face still showed the loss that had been suppressed for a long time in the practice room.

Listening to Hoshikawa Taku's familiar and gentle voice, Chihaya Aine finally couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart, and she confided with a slightly choked voice: "Mr. Hoshikawa, I... I left Mygo."

"Ah, how could this happen?"

Even though he knew everything, Hoshikawa Taku deliberately spoke in a surprised tone, "Didn't your band's performance just have a huge success? Why are you leaving so suddenly? Tell me what happened. Did someone bully you?"

"Mr. Hoshikawa..."

In the Mygo band, she was neglected and ignored; but in Hoshikawa Taku's band, she received sincere care, which warmed Aine's heart.

She sniffed and whispered, "This matter... is a long story. Let's meet and talk... I also want to see Xiaozhi and the others. I'm free anytime."

"Then let's do it tomorrow night. Come over to the office and I'll treat everyone to dinner."

"it is good."

Aine quickly agreed, and she also had a lot to say.

After hanging up the phone, Aine leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, her chest still rising and falling slightly.

Although she was still in a low mood, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes again when she thought of friends like Xiaozhi and Meowmeng.

……

The next morning, Aine arrived at school early.

As soon as I walked into the classroom, I saw a familiar figure - it was Takamatsu Deng.

She arrived earlier than me and was the only one in the classroom.

“Aine…”

Deng turned around and looked at Aine in front of him with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

After all, the other person was sitting in the front and back seats with me, so we would meet each other no matter what, and I couldn't pretend not to see it.

Although Aiyin was still angry and felt used and plotted against, she was also clear that Deng was innocent, she knew nothing and was also a victim.

She didn't want to take out her anger on the lamp.

So she curved her eyes slightly, with her usual bright smile on her lips: "Good morning, Xiao Deng!"

His tone was gentle, as if no argument had ever taken place.

But behind this gentleness is a deliberately maintained sense of distance.

The expression on Gao Songdeng's face was complicated: surprise, guilt, joy, and then a faint uneasiness.

Finally, she stood up and mustered up the courage to say, "Aine, I'm really sorry... I didn't expect Sushi and Lixi to say that. I don't believe they're serious. Let's find Sushi together, and our band can definitely start over!"

"Do not."

Aine shook her head, her smile gentle but resolute, "I've decided to quit the band, there's no doubt about that."

"We can still be friends, but teammates... forget it."

After saying that, she gently pulled out the chair and sat back in her seat.

Her smile was still as bright as the sun, but in the eyes of the lamp, there was a hint of alienation that made it impossible to approach.

Gao Songdeng stared at her back, as if something important had slipped through his fingers again.

Aine was serious, she really didn't want to form a band with me anymore...

She sat down dejectedly, biting her lip, and carefully took out the Band-Aids and stones she had carefully prepared from her schoolbag, hoping to attract Aine's attention like before.

But even though she placed all the little gadgets on the table, attracting the curious gazes of the students who arrived later, Aine still didn't turn around to look at her.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home from school.

Aine also ignored Takamatsu Deng who wanted to say something, left the school, got on the train, walked in the afterglow of the setting sun, and quickly came to the familiar office.

In the practice room they used to practice in the past, Xiaozhi, Lupa, Meowth and even Pochi came here one after another.

When Miao Meng came, she was even thoughtful enough to bring milk tea for everyone.

Aiyin was very happy to see these "old teammates". The familiar and reassuring atmosphere came over her, which alleviated a lot of the irritability and loss that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.

Everyone gathered together, joking, teasing, and chatting, and the atmosphere soon became lively, as if no one had been apart for the whole month.

Miao Meng was the first to share his recent situation.

After Miao Meng released a joint video with Mizuno Ai, her number of fans and views increased dramatically.

Coupled with the video creativity provided by Taku Hoshikawa and professional post-editing, she can now shoot hit videos just by appearing on camera.

At the beginning, she was still a little ambitious and felt that she couldn't be like this. She had to have her own unique ideas and creativity in her videos.

So she used the "good ideas" in her mind to "freely play" with the original copy. As a result, some of the ideas she thought were very good were not highly evaluated. Some of them were even questioned by comments and barrages, saying that she was doing a "bad job" and it was meaningless.

So she learned her lesson and honestly filmed according to the script given to her.

Of course, she doesn’t think that her ideas are bad, but she thinks that this generation of fans has no aesthetic taste, so her ideas must be fine!

After Meow Dream comes Pochi.

When Pochi's hidden identity "Guitar Hero" was exposed, she was really worried to death. She was worried that she would be disliked by Sister Xingge and hated by Hongxia and Kita in the future.

But just after she had been staying at home in fear for a whole day, Taku Hoshikawa called her and said that he had dealt with Xingge and Hongxia and they would not blame her anymore.

With the encouragement from Aine, Lupa and the others in the group chat, Pochi mustered up the courage to meet them.

There was no cold violence as she had imagined. Everyone was very friendly to her, even Sister Xingge, who was not angry at all - on the contrary, she was in a good mood, with an unstoppable smile on her lips.

When I am alone, I will also giggle, as if something extremely lucky has happened.

Hong Xia seemed to know something, but she kept it a secret. Everyone even started to speculate whether Sister Xingge had won the lottery.

"I told you that Hongxia and the others have good personalities and will definitely forgive you."

Aine smiled and patted Pochi's head, then unconsciously thought of the band she was in and sighed sadly.

Pochi chuckled, then added: "Everyone has forgiven me, but they are not so forgiving towards Senior Liang."

Not only did Yamada Ryo know Pochi's identity a long time ago, she even used it to threaten Pochi for profit, which made everyone look down on her.

Not only was she ordered to return the money extorted from Pochi, but she was also ordered to return the bass she had asked for from Hoshikawa Taku.

She returned the money on the spot, but she refused to return the bass, saying it was a gift from Taku Hoshikawa.

"In the end, it was Mr. Xingchuan who came over in person to resolve the matter."

"Sister Xingge was very angry at first, but Mr. Xingchuan was very eloquent. He said something to her in the corner, and Sister Xingge quickly forgave Senior Liang's crime, with an expectant smile on her face..."

On this point, Pochi admires Taku Hoshikawa very much.

Sister Xingge usually has a good personality, but once she gets angry, she becomes like a "bad girl" and becomes extremely vicious. Even Hongxia's words are useless.

I don't know how Mr. Xingchuan shut up Sister Xingge...

"By the way, Pochi."

Xiaozhi asked curiously, "Now that your identity is exposed, have your teammates said when they will sign the contract?"

Bochi thought for a moment and said, "Well... Mr. Xingchuan and Sister Xingge both feel that the timing is not right yet, but it won't be long. As long as they meet Sister Xingge's requirements, we can debut together as members of the [Ending Band]."

"That's great, your band still has a chance to debut as a group."

Xiaozhi sighed.

"During this time, Lupa and I have been helping the band Thorns Without Thorns. Watching them rehearse and perform together, I've been really envious, even if I haven't said it. I want to stand on the stage with them again..."

Hearing that Aine had come to the office, Hoshikawa Taku finished his business and came to the practice room, just in time to hear Satoshi's envious words.

He glanced around the crowd, his lips curled up slightly. "You can also form a group to perform. As long as you're all willing, I can let you perform on stage at this concert."

"Huh!? Really?"

Several people looked up almost at the same time, looking at Taku Hoshikawa who had just walked in with surprise.

"But……"

Lupa looked at Aine hesitantly, "Let's put Pochi aside, doesn't Aine already have a band now? How can we take up her band's rehearsal time..."

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and turned to look at Aine: "Aine, haven't you told them about this yet?"

“I was actually going to say…”

Aine showed a slightly bitter smile on her face, "Actually... I left Mygo yesterday..."

Aiyin recounted the entire incident in a calm tone, without any sentimentality or resentment, yet it left people stunned.

When everyone heard that Aiyin was being treated as a tool to revive the dead, they were immediately outraged and criticized them for not knowing their worth.

Miao Meng even said that she wanted to make a video to "explode" them and make their band notorious.

Aine was very grateful to Miaomeng for speaking out for justice, but she didn't really hate Su Shi, Li Xi and the others that much, nor did she want to become their enemies.

She quickly advised, "My dear Miao Meng, there's no need to go to this extent. It's common for band members to leave the band due to disagreements. I don't want to go to that extent..."

"Is that so? Forget it then..."

Miao Meng looked regretful, but was actually relieved in his heart.

She acted indignant on purpose, but in fact she was "showing her loyalty" to Hoshikawa Taku. She knew that Hoshikawa Taku valued Aine very much, so she pretended to be standing up for someone who was wronged.

If Aiyin really agreed to let her hang someone, she would actually have a headache.

This is Miao Meng’s “little trick” to get around in the workplace and please his boss.

"Mr. Hoshikawa, you said you wanted us to perform at this concert... What kind of concert is that?"

Even though Lupa was Hoshikawa Taku's secretary, she really knew nothing about this matter.

She frowned and asked worriedly, "With Thorns Without Thorns and Diamond Stardust competing on the same stage, and our band, Extension Line, joining us, will the audience buy in? Will we be able to sell the tickets?"

Faced with this question, Taku Hoshikawa just smiled mysteriously and deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"Don't worry about selling tickets. We have a 'heavyweight guest' coming this time. As soon as we release the news, they'll be sold out immediately."

"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me if you want to perform on stage. This concert venue can accommodate at least a few thousand people, right?"

The eyes of several girls met in the air at the same time.

The light illuminated their eyes, and in each other's eyes, they saw something familiar - not hesitation, nor worry, but a kind of desire.

They long to perform on stage and hope that the band "Extension Line" will reunite.

So, they nodded in tacit understanding.

"Our band [Extension Line] is going to participate in this performance!"

Chapter 261: Mizuno Ai's Comeback Concert

The "heavyweight guest" mentioned by Taku Hoshikawa is naturally the "legend of the idol world" - Mizuno Ai.

The reason why she chose to hold the concert a month later was because her health would have improved and she could officially terminate her contract with the agency.

After throwing a celebratory party for Aine and having Lupa send everyone else away, Hoshikawa Taku did not go home directly, but came to the hospital alone.

The hospital corridor was quiet and clean, the floorboards gleaming softly under the dim light. Hoshikawa Taku walked around the nurses' station with familiarity, stopped at the ward door, and knocked gently three times.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Hasegawa's voice came from the ward.

Taku Hoshikawa pushed the door open and saw Ai Mizuno leaning on the hospital bed.

She was wearing a light blue hospital gown and looked thinner than before. Her originally short hair had grown to her shoulders and neck. A strand of hair was stuck to her cheek and slightly curled up, making her look more beautiful and gentle than she did on stage.

The person sitting beside the bed and peeling an apple for her was her agent Hasegawa.

There was a smile in the corner of her eyes, and her gaze towards Mizuno Ai was as gentle as spring water, as if she was looking at a younger sister who was about to recover.

Hasegawa has now completed the handover of his work from his original firm and officially joined Hoshikawa Agency.

Taku Hoshikawa did not deduct her salary and still gave her the same salary as before, and even gave her better benefits.

Competent and trustworthy agents are rare. After Mizuno Ai is well enough to leave the hospital, Hasegawa will share the work with Hoshikawa Taku to manage the other artists under him.

"Hey, Xiao Ai'ai, you look good today."

Taku Hoshikawa walked towards them naturally, took out some withered flowers from the vase on the bedside table, and inserted the baby's breath he had just bought.

Mizuno Ai came closer, and the elegant fragrance lingered in the air, and a smile appeared on her face.
