Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Chihaya Aine stared at the photo, her eyes changing from suspicion to surprise, and finally to complete excitement.

She didn't expect to encounter such a thing. She is really lucky!

"If you want an autographed photo, can you wait for me after the show and I'll give it to you?"

"Ok!"

The "vain" Chihaya Aine would naturally not miss this opportunity.

She took out her cell phone without hesitation and took the initiative to exchange contact information with Taku Hoshikawa.

If she posts the autographed photo on social media later, she will definitely get a lot of attention!

Watching Chihaya Aine go away, Hiroi, who was standing by, saw Hoshikawa Taku exchanging contact information with this girl, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

She bit the straw and stared at Hoshikawa Taku with a dark look in her eyes: "Hey, Hoshikawa, are you trying to pick on a girl? She looks like she's underage, and you're thinking of hitting on her?"

"I'm apologizing on your behalf. Who told you to come up and hug someone? You almost got mistaken for a pervert?"

Hoshikawa Taku calmly used Hiroi as an excuse to strike up a conversation, and Hiroi couldn't refute it.

She could only sulk and drink.

Takuya Hoshikawa didn't expect such an unexpected gain. After Shima Iwashita and the others came back, he handed Hiroi to them.

He returned to the concert venue, found Sanjiao Chuhua, and told him what had happened in general.

"You want an autographed photo? Fine."

Sankaku Hatsuka had secretly contacted Hoshikawa Taku and revealed her idea of ​​changing jobs. A simple autographed photo was naturally not a problem, and she also asked Junda Mana to come and sign.

“This makes it more collectible, right?”

Sankaku Hatsuka smiled and handed it to Hoshikawa Taku, "The little girl you mentioned should be very happy, right?"

"Yes, she will be very happy. Maybe you will see each other often in the future."

Hoshikawa Taku said meaningfully.

Chapter 89 Lupa's Self-"PUA"

The concert was about to begin and there was already a crowd outside the venue. Fans, holding glow sticks and wearing T-shirts with the Sumimi logo, lined up excitedly waiting to enter.

The break time for all the staff was over. Taku Hoshikawa passed through the staff-only passage and returned to the lighting control desk to wait.

He had an excellent position and could clearly see every corner of the stage. From here, he could see the atmosphere of the entire concert.

Taku Hoshikawa lowered his head and took out his mobile phone. He originally just wanted to check the trending searches for the performance, but he found that a large number of red notification dots suddenly appeared on his social account.

While working, Taku Hoshikawa had muted his account. When he opened it, he found that the interview with "ROCKIN'ON" magazine was finally released today.

As one of the most influential rock and pop music magazines in Japan, "ROCKIN'ON" has many industry insiders who subscribe to it as soon as possible.

Taku Hoshikawa publicly announced in a magazine that his agency will open some of its resources to the public. Not only will it welcome newcomers who aspire to become idols to experience it, but it will also provide support to bands and music creators, who can get a professional-level experience by paying only a small amount of rent.

In addition, he also said that small firms are welcome to move in. By paying rent, they can use all the firm's facilities for free and have priority in cooperating with the firm.

There are all kinds of offices of all sizes in Tokyo. The largest offices are naturally of the level of Sony and Johnny's, while the smaller offices don't even have independent office areas.

A company like Xingchuan Office, which owns a stand-alone building and is fully equipped, is already considered a mainstay in the industry.

Generally speaking, an agency of this size usually signs many artists, and internal resources need to be used in queue, making it impossible to share them.

There are very few people like Taku Hoshikawa who are willing to share their office area or even rent it out.

The magazine received an immediate response upon its release.

Two small firms with relocation needs sent inquiry emails, several independent bands wanted to rent recording studios and practice rooms, and even some music producers and behind-the-scenes staff expressed interest.

This is not only a good thing that can generate additional income for the agency, but also can expand his influence in the music industry and discover some potential newcomers.

These emails need to be replied to properly, but there are also many invalid messages that need to be screened, which takes a lot of time.

But the concert was about to begin, and he didn't have time to reply to these emails one by one.

Fortunately, Taku Hoshikawa has an "assistant".

So he sent a message to Lupa, asking her to reply to the messages for him, telling her to filter out the important messages and informing her that they would give an accurate reply during the working day.

At this time, Lupa and Xiaozhi had already entered the venue, checked their tickets, and sat in their seats in the audience.

Xiaozhi saw Lupa beside him suddenly transformed into a "flash acupressure master" and kept sending messages. He couldn't help but ask sideways: "Lupa, why are you so busy all of a sudden?"

"My manager asked me to help answer some emails."

Lupa answered casually while operating.

Xiaozhi crossed his arms, pouted, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "This guy, Hoshikawa Taku, really knows how to order people around. You clearly came to see the performance today, but he asked you to work overtime..."

“That’s part of the job.”

Lupa chuckled, but didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, their tickets were given by Taku Hoshikawa, so being able to watch this performance was already a pleasant surprise.

She just logged into Taku Hoshikawa's account to reply to some messages. She didn't have anything else to do anyway.

Isn't that what assistants do?

Lupa himself didn't realize that he had gradually put himself in the position of "assistant" and completely forgot that he had actually applied for "planning and operations" in the beginning.

When reading the reply emails, Lupa was very surprised that so many bands and musicians came to him and wanted to work with him.

Lupa couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had sent out their application notice a week earlier. Otherwise, with their resumes, they might not even be able to apply for the position of intern assistant.

After some self-PUA, Lupa worked harder.

At this moment, a hesitant voice came from beside her: "Um... were you talking about Mr. Xingchuan just now?"

Lupa turned her head and saw that there were four girls with different hair colors sitting next to her.

They are none other than the members of the band that ended - Ichiri Goto, Nijika Ijichi, Ryo Yamada and Ikuyo Kita.

The director gave Hoshikawa Taku and Ijichi Hoshika tickets for joint seating, so Lupa and the others naturally sat together with the Ending Band.

Lupa didn't know the other three, but knew Pochi.

When she saw Pochi, she was about to say hello with a smile, but she saw Pochi's face change, he covered his mouth desperately, and shook his head at her frantically.

——Please, don’t say hello to yourself!

Lupa is an employee of the Hoshikawa Office. Logically, he shouldn't know Lupa and Xiaozhi, so if he says hello, he'll be exposed!

Lupa didn't understand what was going on, but she was an expert at reading people's expressions after all, so she immediately shut up and pretended she hadn't seen anything.

But Xiaozhi was sitting next to her, so she blocked his view to a certain extent and he didn't see the expression on Pochi's face. He just said, "Pochi, you guys are here too? Are these people next to you your friends?"

...it's over.

It's all over!

Pochi's face froze, his eyes almost turned into whirlpools, and he was extremely panicked.

As expected, Hongxia felt strange when she heard this and looked at Pochi with a puzzled look on her face: "Pochi, who are these two? Do you know them? Didn't they mention Mr. Xingchuan's name just now?"

"Uh...this..."

Pochi's brain froze instantly, and he mumbled, not knowing how to explain.

Just when she was on the verge of collapse, the "hero" appeared.

"Hey, Xiaozhi, Lupa, so you are sitting here."

This is the drunken sound that everyone is familiar with.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Hiroi Kikuri.

She was strolling over with a box of beer in her hand, looking relaxed and contented.

She patted Xiaozhi's shoulder carelessly, sat beside her, and said to Hongxia with a smile:

"Xiao Hongxia, they are employees of Xingchuan. I introduced them to Boqi. You know that I have a good relationship with Xingchuan, right?"

The drunkard Hiroi Kikuri does have a lot of strange connections, and she has a good relationship with Pochi.

Hongxia, Kita and the others didn't suspect anything, but Yamada Ryo keenly sensed something was wrong.

Why has Kikuri Hiroi become so familiar with the people under Taku Hoshikawa these days?

Considering that Pochi is a guitar hero, Yamada Ryo feels that he has discovered a shocking fact.

Could it be that... Taku Hoshikawa is the one running Guitar Hero?

Chapter 90 ends with the band's second escaped guitarist?

Although he was already close to the truth, Yamada Ryo did not speak out at this moment.

A "secret" is only a secret if it is known to a few people.

Since Pochi is unwilling to reveal her identity as a "guitar hero", it means that she has some concerns.

If I point it out directly, Boqi will most likely choose to run away, or even quit the band...

By then, the band might end up with one more guitarist running away.

There's no need to push Pochi to that point. There's no benefit in making this matter public. It's better to wait for Pochi to confess on his own initiative.

Yamada Ryo understands Pochi, but that doesn't mean she is willing to let Pochi go.

She began to think about how to use this secret to get more "Gold Coins" from Pochi.

Since Pochi is secretly collaborating with Hoshikawa Taku under the identity of "Guitar Hero", he must be making a lot of money, right?

I am so poor that I have to eat grass. If I can get some money from Pochi, it will be just enough to supplement my livelihood.

Yamada Ryo's family is actually well-off, but she uses all her pocket money to buy various things that interest her, which leads to her being often short of money.

Of course, Yamada Ryo also knew that the money "extorted" would have to be returned sooner or later. After all, if Pochi's affair were to be exposed, she would definitely have to pay it back with interest.

But... the future is the future, and what matters most is to enjoy life while you can - she has her eyes on a new bass.

Thanks to Hiroi Kikuri's rescue, Pochi's identity was not exposed, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Pochi didn't completely relax.

Because she could feel that there was something wrong with the way Yamada Ryo looked at her.

That look was like discovering delicious prey, with a hint of scrutiny, a hint of amusement, and a hint of... greed.

So, so terrible!

All the hairs on Pochi's body stood up.

It's over, Senior Liang must have found out! She must have found out!

Pochi's voice trembled as he took the initiative to ask, "Um, Senior Liang, would you like a drink? I'll go buy some now..."

As Pochi was about to stand up, Yamada Ryo grabbed her arm and pinned her down in her seat.

Yamada Ryo's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly, "No need to buy it. The concert is about to start. It's not too late to buy it after the concert."

"The concert is over," Pochi keenly captured the key words.

Does this mean that he wants me to "stay home after school"?

Pochi had already imagined the scene of himself being blocked in an alley by Yamada Ryo and extorted for money.

Ruined!

Mr. Hoshikawa, help!

Just as Pochi was about to collapse, the lights in the stadium suddenly went out and the whole place was plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a strong white light burst out from the center of the stage, instantly attracting the attention of the entire audience.

This was the work of Taku Hoshikawa, but it was not because he heard Pochi's cry for help, but because the concert had begun.

As the lights on the stage came on, the originally dark concert venue was suddenly illuminated by bright light, like a blazing flame burning in the middle of the night.

Cheers instantly filled the entire venue, and the deafening shouts seemed to tear the air apart.

As the lights appeared, standing in the center of the stage were the protagonists of the night - Mana Junda and Hatsuka Sanka.

Mana Junda stood under the spotlight, her exquisite performance costume swaying gently in the breeze, a golden microphone held between her fingers. She slowly raised the microphone, a smile on her lips, and waved to the audience.
