Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Hoshikawa Taku already knew her inner worries, so he used these words to comfort her and promised her not to worry about unnecessary things.

Even if he really has multiple relationships in the future, he will never leave me.

Xiao Ai's heart felt like it was gently bumped by something, and it was also like something warm was quietly rising up.

She lowered her head and whispered, "...Well, I believe you."

Seeing that Xiao Ai believed his verbal promise so easily, Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

She really wasn't worried that he was cheating on her.

Of course, Taku Hoshikawa would not lie to Ai Mizuno. After all, they had both signed a soul contract, which meant they were bound together for life.

They were destined to spend their lives together.

After comforting Xiao Ai, Hoshikawa Taku gently let go of Mizuno Ai in his arms, turned around and looked at Hasegawa, who had been silent and had a complicated look in his eyes.

"Ms. Hasegawa, thank you for your hard work during this period. Although Xiao Ai didn't ask for this performance fee, as her agent, you must accept the bonus."

Hoshikawa Taku took out an envelope of a different color from the drawer and handed it to Hasegawa.

Hasegawa opened the envelope and showed surprise on his face: "One million yen? Giving me so much?"

"Although I'm Xiao Ai's agent, I didn't secure any extra notices for her this time, nor did I run any extra clients. I just assisted with some internal work... You already pay me a salary every month, so there's no need for an additional bonus."

In the industry, if an agent brings in publicity and business for an artist, he or she will receive a proportional commission, just like a real estate agent.

Only in this way can they devote themselves to bringing work to their artists.

But this was an internal performance, and she only helped arrange the schedule and procedures, and did not make any special contribution.

The money felt a bit hot in her hands.

Hoshikawa Taku said half-jokingly: "This money is not only a bonus, but also your 'hush money'. I hope Miss Hasegawa that you will keep certain things secret... Do you understand?"

Something?

It's about the two of them dating, right?

"Even if you don't give me the bonus, I will keep it a secret for you..."

Hasegawa smiled bitterly, but still honestly accepted the money.

Since Taku Hoshikawa said so, wouldn't it be tactless for her not to accept the money?

Moreover, Hasegawa suddenly felt that he had a reason to accept the money——

These two people show their affection in front of me every day and affect my sleep. I really deserve compensation for mental damage.

Seeing Hasegawa accept it, Hoshikawa Taku smiled and returned to his serious tone.

"Ms. Hasegawa, after this concert, our agency will probably receive a lot of new invitations. Especially for Xiao Ai, her schedule is expected to be packed. You are her agent, so I'd like to ask you to check on her in the next period of time."

Hearing this, Hasegawa's eyes lit up: "Are you finally planning to let Xiao Ai show up?"

Hoshikawa Taku said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't let Xiao Ai show up, but the time wasn't right before. Now that the concert has come to a successful conclusion, it's naturally time to monetize this traffic."

In fact, as early as the day the concert was announced, related commercial invitations and TV announcements had already poured in like snowflakes.

But at that time, Taku Hoshikawa resolutely suppressed it, on the grounds of maintaining mystery and creating expectations.

Without this sense of mystery, there wouldn’t be so many people buying online tickets.

At this time, we have to mention a marketing master.

She filmed a weight-loss movie and did not appear in public for a year to make the audience curious about her changes.

By taking advantage of the audience's curiosity, a shoddy remake was successfully sold at a high price.

Many people realized later that they had been cheated and angrily gave the movie low scores, but by then the money had already gone into the other party's pocket.

Although this behavior is disgusting, it is indeed a classic case in marketing.

Taku Hoshikawa borrowed this marketing method, maintained mystery, and made the concert a huge hit.

However, Taku Hoshikawa did not suffer any "backlash" - because he did give a wonderful concert.

Now when Xiao Ai goes on TV shows and takes on various performances, she is not only not scolded, but instead meets the expectations of her fans.

Xingchuan Taku lowered his head, looked at Xiao Ai in front of him, touched her face, and gently admonished:

"Xiao Ai, I'm going to be away from Tokyo for a few days. You should listen carefully to Ms. Hasegawa during this time. You should accept those performance notices based on your own situation and don't overwork yourself."

"If you need makeup, call Miao Meng over. She's made great progress recently, and I've specially taught her how to deal with your special skin type. She should have no problem handling interviews and performances."

The injuries on Xiao Ai's body were no longer as shocking as when Xingchuan Taku first saw her, and they had almost recovered by 80%.

With Xiao Ai's current recovery from her injury, even if she is not as good as Hoshikawa Taku, Miao Meng's level alone is enough to make her qualified as a makeup artist.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai did not feel happy about being able to return to the stage again. Instead, she grabbed Hoshikawa Taku's hand and asked nervously, "Mr. Hoshikawa, where are you going? How long will it take for you to come back?"

"I have to go on a business trip temporarily. There are some things I need to take care of back home. I will be back in seven days at most."

Hoshikawa Taku found a reason.

It was said to be a business trip, but in fact it was a trip. Hoshikawa Taku planned to take the opportunity to rest for a few days and go out alone with Ijichi Hoshika to cultivate their relationship.

However, I am not lying when I say it is something from my hometown.

Because the destination of Taku Hoshikawa's trip was "Saga", which was the legendary place where Xu Fu was.

Taku Hoshikawa has activated the bloodline of the "descendants of Xu Fu", and the purpose of this trip is to meet the ancestor. It is not wrong to say that it is a family matter, right?

And… who says a “blind date” with Ichichi Hoshige isn’t a family affair?

Mizuno Ai didn't know all this. She just knew better than to stop him when she heard Hoshikawa Taku say he wanted to take care of household chores.

But she still cared about one thing.

"Mr. Hoshikawa, who wants to go with you on this business trip? Lupa? Or Ms. Hiroi?"

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and shook his head: "No, no one from the office is going with me this time."

"That's it..."

Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Xingchuan Taku would go out with the thieving cat this time.

Hoshikawa Taku once again changed the subject - who said that just because the people from the office didn't go with him, it meant that he was alone?

In other words, Xiao Ai is easier to deceive. If it were someone else, they would definitely ask more questions.

While Xiao Ai was still unaware, Xingchuan Taku rubbed her head and said, "Okay, don't worry. It'll only be seven days. I'll be back soon. I'll also bring you some gifts."

"Um……"

Mizuno Ai responded softly, her expression softening, but there was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Then... after Mr. Xingchuan leaves, can I call you?"

"sure."

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her and smiled. "My phone is on, but I can't answer it every time. If it's not urgent, you can send a message. I will definitely reply when I see it."

"Then I'll send it to you every day."

“…Don’t post too much.”

Hoshikawa Taku smiled bitterly, "Otherwise I would be very troubled too."

Mizuno Ai stuck out her tongue playfully: "I will do it in moderation..."

Seeing the two of them getting so close as if no one was around, Hasegawa, who was being ignored, couldn't help but ask, "Boss, when are you planning to leave?"

"Just these two days."

Hoshikawa Taku replied, "I'll leave after I finish the internal arrangements at the office. Xiao Ai's work will be entirely in your hands during this time."

"rest assured."

Hasegawa nodded and began to plan Xiao Ai's schedule in his mind, "I will arrange it for her in an orderly manner."

As for his agent, Taku Hoshikawa, he is very confident in her abilities and trusts her loyalty.

I feel at ease leaving the office to her while I'm away.

However, she is not a professional company manager after all. She is better at managing her artists and often has to run around outside.

It's okay for a short period of time, but if you will be away for a long time, it's best to find a more suitable executive.

For example... Nagasaki Suyo's mother?

Compared to Su Shi, Hoshikawa Taku wants to sign a contract with her mother more.

Chapter 314: Why do they get all the good things?

Before setting off for Saga, Taku Hoshikawa still had a lot of things to do.

The first thing is to go meet Renai's parents.

After the concert last night, Taku Hoshikawa invited his family to stay and settled them in a nearby hotel.

This morning, Renai personally took them on a tour of the office and explained where she worked and practiced.

When talking about her favorite places, her voice was full of pride and pride. Jingqin Zongnan had not seen his daughter so confident and lively for a long time.

Takumoto Hoshikawa had intended to receive her personally, but he was busy calculating the expenses for the concert. By the time he had finished the settlement, Nina had already taken her family to the shopping district near Shibuya and missed the morning meeting.

Now it was evening and they were leaving Tokyo and returning to Kumamoto, so Taku Hoshikawa naturally couldn't miss this farewell.

In the waiting area of ​​the station, Jingqin Zongnan frowned, as if he was still hesitating about something.

But in the end, he walked up to Xingchuan Taku, took a deep breath, and spoke:

"Mr. Hoshikawa, even though I've seen the concert and visited the agency, I still can't tell whether I support or worry about this path. After all, there are so few people who can make it out of this path."

He paused and glanced at Renna, who was standing beside him with a look of nervousness and anticipation.

"But... these past few days, I've seen how Nina lives her life here, and I've seen the passion and determination in her eyes. She... truly loves music and is willing to work hard for this dream. As a father, I can only support her."

Having said that, he lowered his head and bowed solemnly to Hoshikawa Taku.

"My daughter is still young and has a straightforward personality, easily impulsive. I'm not by her side and can't help her deal with the aftermath. You're the only one I can ask for help."

"Please, take good care of her."

As a famous educator, it can be said that the education of his children is what Icera Muneo attaches the most importance to.

But now, his daughter is alone outside with an unknown life, and he can only place his trust in a man he is not familiar with.

The bow was not heavy, but Hoshikawa Taku could feel its weight.

Hoshikawa Taku replied sternly, "Please rest assured. Nina is an artist with great potential at our agency, and I value her future very much. I've seen her efforts. Since she has entrusted her dreams to us, I will never let her down."

Renai's mother patted her husband's back gently, then turned to her daughter and softly said, "Don't work too hard. Eat on time, and don't forget to wash your clothes before wearing them."

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore..."

Whether it was the instructions from her father or mother, Rencai's eyes were red and her voice was a little choked.

But when it was her sister Jingqin Liangyin's turn, the other party gave her earnest advice:

"Nina, I feel like you can't compare to Kohina. She has you completely under her thumb. If you ask me, you should just bow your head and make peace with her..."

This sentence instantly shattered Renai's originally slightly sad mood, and she angrily said, "Sister, why are you encouraging others and destroying your own prestige? Since you said so, then I will definitely defeat that guy Hina and show you!"

"Really? Then I'll wait and see..."

There was a smile on Jingqin Liangyin's lips when she said this, and it was hard for Xingchuan Taku not to think that she was trying to provoke him.

As the Shinkansen departure time was approaching, the family finally walked into the ticket gate reluctantly saying goodbye.

Rencai stood at the exit and watched her parents and sister's backs gradually walking away. It was not until the gate slowly closed that she sniffed sharply, her eyes already red.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

Hoshikawa Taku walked up to her and patted her back gently.

"I'm not crying..."

As Renai spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Hoshikawa Taku with extremely determined eyes.

"I'm going to make a name for myself in Tokyo! One day, my parents will come back to Tokyo just to see me stand center stage and defeat Diamond Dust head-on!"

Looking at her childish yet stubborn look, Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's great to have such ambition, but next time I invite him here, don't let yourself be captured again, okay?"
