Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around abruptly, pulled the suitcase that made a "gurgling" sound, and ran out of the glass door of RING briskly, like a kitten that had slipped away after a successful prank, without even looking back.

They stood there in a daze for a moment, watching her figure gradually disappear into the sunset.

"…What does she mean by that? What does 'interesting' mean?"

Li Xi stood there with a frown on his face, his expression grim. "Isn't she just finding a random excuse to reject us? She just wanted to eat that matcha parfait, otherwise she would have run away long ago!"

"no."

Su Shi shook his head slightly and looked at the door for a long time before looking away.

"I sent her a message that day. Since she was willing to come after seeing the message, it means she wants to reunite with us. However... the thing she wants to reunite with is the Mygo that belongs to five people."

"She wants to team up with Aine."

Gao Songdeng whispered.

"Yes."

Sushi sighed softly, "But now...Aine won't be coming back."

For a moment, the atmosphere became quiet and no one knew what to do.

Li Xi folded his arms and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "What should we do? Should we continue to follow her, or give up and go find Ruoye Mu?"

"I've already contacted Xiao Mu, but as for Lenai's side, I'll try my best to get her if I can."

Su Shi begged Rin Rinko, who was watching the show from the side, "Ms. Rin Rinko, if Lenai comes to RING again, please give her a matcha parfait every time. I'll pay for it."

"Hey? Are you planning to win her over with a 'money offensive'?"

Rinrinko blinked and smiled half-jokingly, "But I have to warn you, a wild cat like her can't be dealt with by just a few cups of parfait."

"I don't think so, but this way, at least it can reduce some of her resentment towards us, and it can also increase the chances of her appearing in the RING."

After saying that, she turned to look at Li Xi.

"Whenever Lenai shows up, it's almost always during rehearsals. She loves guitar and music. Maybe what she means by 'interesting' is whether we make her feel passionate and motivated."

"So, Lixi, could you please compose the music for the lyrics of Deng's new song? If we start rehearsing again and our new song interests her, she might even join in on the fun."

"Is this what you mean by 'interesting'?"

Li Xi felt like he had grasped something and nodded seriously, "I understand. I will make this song interesting."

"By the way, Deng, what's the name of this song?"

she asked.

"...'Poetry Super Bond'."

Takamatsu whispered, "I hope everyone can hear the bond between us in this song and feel connected to the band again."

Su Shi looked at Deng with a slightly complicated expression: "You also want Aine to hear this song, right?"

Deng nodded gently.

"Well, I can't speak, so I hope this song can express my feelings."

Su Shi didn't know what she was thinking, but after a moment, a gentle smile appeared on her face again.

"Very good, then let's work together to create this song that belongs to us."

She said softly.

Chapter 281: Let’s start a game?

After the group disbanded that day, Li Xi held Takamatsu Deng's lyrics notebook as if it were a treasure and almost ran all the way back home.

After quickly finishing her meal, she sat down at the table, put on headphones, and began to try to create.

For the next few days, she almost turned her day and night upside down, not even having time to comb her hair. She pondered every melody and every beat over and over again, with only one thought in her mind -

The song must be "interesting" enough so that Kaname Rina can't resist it.

During the few days she was creating, Su Shi returned to Xingchuan Office and continued her work as an assistant.

But this time, she clearly felt that she had become particularly redundant in someone's life.

Xiangzi originally treated her with an attitude of "ignoring" her, as if he couldn't see her as a person. Only when she invited everyone to have dessert during the break did she reluctantly come over in order to fit in.

But now, Xiangzi's attitude towards her turned into "indifferent", and he didn't even put on a show of it. The dessert left for Xiangzi on the table always lay motionless.

Xiangzi didn't even want to glance at her out of the corner of his eye, as if even a glance would make her disgusted.

In the end, all the money went to Rencai, a little sister who loves to eat and is still growing.

Su Shi had no choice but to say nothing more.

After all, it was she who took the initiative to tease Xiaomu and made Xiangzi angry.

Xiaomu has always been Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart, whom she cares about very much. To a certain extent, she really treats the taciturn Xiaomu as her own daughter.

Xiangzi heard from Aine that the atmosphere in Mygo was very depressing, everyone had different thoughts, and no one could see a smile on their face.

Xiangzi didn't want Ruoye Mu to be brought into such a fire pit, so it would be strange if she could be nice to Su Shi.

The relationship between the two of them was about to gradually improve, but now the conflict has been intensified and exposed.

During this period, Aiyin, Momoka and others noticed the cold war between Suyo and Xiangzi and wanted to help, but they were all declined by Suyo.

Because she knew that Xiangzi was the kind of person who would not be persuaded by anything, and it would be difficult to change her mind once she had made up her mind.

The more people try to persuade her, the more likely she will get annoyed with you.

Unless there is someone she cares about the most who can shake the "absolutely correct" judgment in her heart.

Take her father, for example.

But... she had never met Xiangzi's father, let alone asking him to plead for her.

So this is also impossible.

Now she can only put her hope on Mygo's reorganization.

……

Time passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when concert tickets went on sale.

This highly anticipated comeback performance has sparked a lot of discussion since its official announcement.

When the system opened for ticket purchase at 12 noon, 2500 tickets were sold out in just ten minutes, at an astonishing speed.

All major social media platforms were filled with cries of grief. Fans who couldn't get tickets even organized a group to request ticket transfers, and scalpers' quotes quickly soared to twice the original price.

Everyone wanted to see with their own eyes how the legendary idol recovered after the accident.

Fortunately, although offline tickets are not available, online tickets can be purchased at any time, so you can catch a glimpse of her and not miss this rare opportunity.

Taku Hoshikawa already knew that the tickets would be sold out. He didn't pay attention to that today. Instead, he carefully put on full makeup for Ai Mizuno and took her to the agency where she used to work.

The general manager of the firm personally received the two and handed the termination contract to Mizuno Ai.

Mizuno Ai took the pen with quick and firm movements, and said her final goodbye to the past without hesitation.

At this moment, she was free again.

“…This is considered the official termination of the contract.”

The general manager's tone was somewhat complicated. As he stared at her as she put pen to paper, a barely perceptible trace of regret appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"What a shame."

He whispered, as if talking to himself, "If we hadn't done those little tricks, Xiao Ai might still be able to stay in the firm..."

At the beginning, he believed the assessment of his business manager and determined that even if Mizuno Ai recovered, it would be difficult for her to regain her previous appearance and commercial value.

In order to avoid compensation and contractual responsibilities, he acquiesced to his subordinates launching a smear campaign against Mizuno Ai.

He wanted to find any signs of disfigurement on Mizuno Ai's face, but the makeup was so perfect that there was not a single flaw, and it was impossible to tell that there were any scars on Mizuno Ai's face.

If he had known that Mizuno Ai would be able to return to the public eye in such a near-miraculous manner, he would never have done it.

Taku Hoshikawa didn't feel sorry for him. If he hadn't been there, Mizuno Ai's career and even her entire life would have been ruined.

It is possible that those who took action were all his subordinates, and he just signed and nodded. He had no intention of doing so.

But as a decision maker, every decision made to save costs may affect someone else's entire life.

Hoshikawa Taku said calmly, "You and I are both managers of the firm. It's understandable to save costs, but I think you should know that every little bit of cost you save will cost you a corresponding price."

He paused and spoke casually about something.

"I recently read a news story about a factory owner who withheld 800 yuan from an employee's salary. The employee, enraged, set fire to the factory, causing tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of yuan in damages."

"It's a small amount of money saved, but... is it really worth it?"

The general manager was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly: "I've learned a lesson..."

The central idea of ​​what Taku Hoshikawa said is very simple, which is "spend money to avoid disaster, don't lose the big picture for the small one."

The general manager also understood that Taku Hoshikawa's words were a reminder to himself not to think about losing this little bit of profit and then do some small tricks in secret to discredit Mizuno Ai, otherwise he would make him pay the price.

The general manager smiled and said frankly, "Actually, you don't need to remind me, Mr. Xingchuan. I wouldn't have any bad thoughts about the Toyokawa family's partners."

"On the contrary, I hope Mr. Xingchuan will forget the unpleasantness of the past. If there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, I hope you will consider our company. After all, we are Xiao Ai's 'family' after all, and we can still be of some help in terms of publicity resources."

Takuto Hoshikawa didn't expect that the general manager would be so easy to talk to.

He said "I'll definitely do it if there's a chance" and shook hands with the other person.

After Taku Hoshikawa left, the manager in charge of artist affairs pushed the door open and walked in.

His face was still a little confused, and he couldn't help asking:

"General Manager, don't we already know that Fengchuan Qinggao has been fired by Fengchuan Group? This guy might be just bullying others, so why should we be so nice to him?"

As the owner of a large and powerful firm, he naturally has his own connections and channels in the entertainment industry.

The general manager learned about Toyokawa Kiyoshi's current situation through various sources and learned that he was expelled from the Toyokawa family because of a business failure.

Now he only has the name of the Toyokawa family, but no real power.

This supervisor was the boss's confidant. He thought that after learning about this incident, the boss would change his attitude towards the Mizuno Ai incident and temporarily terminate the contract.

However, the boss seemed to know nothing and asked them to sign the termination agreement as if nothing had happened, letting Mizuno Ai, the cash cow, leave, which made him very puzzled.

"What do you know?"

The general manager crossed his arms and said in a steady voice, "You only heard that Fengchuan Qing declared he was 'expelled,' but you didn't know that the only legitimate heir to the Fengchuan family is his daughter. Do you think he might be kicked out for life?"

"Besides... are you sure he was really abandoned, and not just 'sent away' to temporarily hide from the limelight?"

"You know, the current head of the Fengchuan family was once a 'son-in-law'."

There was a hint of depth in his eyes.

"Whatever the reason, I don't want to risk offending the Toyokawa family by targeting them."

The general manager paused and said with emotion, "I think this young man has a very insightful perspective, and what he said is indeed inspiring to me. In this internet age, even a small spark can start a major fire. I don't want the firm to be destroyed by a single wrong decision."

As the boss of an agency, he has rich experience. The reason why he suffered a loss in this incident with Mizuno Ai was because he misjudged the existence of Taku Hoshikawa.

If it were an ordinary artist, with disfigurement, burns all over the body, an agent assigned by the company, and no channels for expressing his or her opinions, there would basically be no chance of a comeback.

He didn't lose to the artist Mizuno Ai, but lost to the same capital.

"Don't think about targeting Mizuno Ai anymore, or you might end up losing more than you gain."

The general manager warned his supervisor.

The supervisor said solemnly: "Yes, I understand!"

……

After Mizuno Ai and Hoshikawa Taku walked out of the general manager's office, they did not leave the building immediately.

She still has one last job - to complete the shooting of a set of promotional materials with her former teammates.

The shooting location is in the studio of the agency.

When she and Taku Hoshikawa walked in, the photography assistants, stylists and lighting technicians were busy moving around.

Standing in the center of the shooting area are those familiar faces - the teammates who once fought side by side with Ai Mizuno.

When they saw Mizuno Ai, some of them had an expression of disbelief and shock in their eyes, while others were surprised.
