Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

She is a typical hard worker. When she heard that she could rest, she was a little dissatisfied: "We don't have much time. Can't we use Saturday to rehearse all day?"

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows and looked at Miao Meng.

"Meow Meng, I saw your new video. You didn't rest after returning home from practice these days, but continued to make videos. Are you staying up until two or three in the morning every day?"

Miao Meng's face suddenly looked a little guilty, and she avoided the topic and said, "I have plenty of energy. Making videos is a kind of relaxation for me. I don't feel sleepy at all even if I stay up late!"

Hoshikawa Taku shook his head helplessly.

It’s not like Taku Hoshikawa hasn’t shot videos before, so how could making videos be relaxing?

From selecting materials and writing copy to preparing props, setting up the camera, recording over and over again, and even the final editing... no step is easy.

He said to Miao Meng in a slower tone, "Miao Meng, you've always shot and edited videos by yourself. Have you ever thought about just shooting the footage yourself and outsourcing the editing?"

"You have too much work to do. If you can save some time, you will have more energy to devote to other things."

"Outsourcing? That's very expensive, right? Besides, I'm unlikely to be satisfied with the videos I outsource to someone else to edit..."

Her voice was hesitant, but the resistance was still evident.

Although Miao Meng is a well-known blogger, she has never hired any employees to help her. She has always been used to working alone.

Because the number of video views is unstable now, her income has dropped significantly. It is not enough for her to spend herself, so how could she be willing to share this money with others?

Seeing her reaction, Hoshikawa Taku smiled and said, "If you'd like, you can hand over the video production work to me. I'll have my staff make the video for you. Their skills are very strong and they can guarantee that they can produce content that satisfies you."

Because he wants to edit a video for Guitar Hero, Taku Hoshikawa has recruited two experienced video producers. They were carefully selected by the system and their technical level is impeccable.

Although it is a bit more expensive than the market price, it is worth it. Taku Hoshikawa is very satisfied with the videos they made. In less than a week, there are already several videos with more than 100,000 views.

If the content they produce does not satisfy Miao Meng, Taku Hoshikawa will take action himself.

Having acquired the skill of [Network Operation Master], he knows how to attract the audience's attention and can naturally create popular videos.

Seeing the worry on Miao Meng's face, Xingchuan Taku immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you for outsourcing fees. Since you have already agreed to join this band, I will naturally solve your worries."

"If you don't eat or sleep well, and you're not in good condition during the performance, I'll be the one who has a headache."

There was concern in Hoshikawa Taku's words, and Miao Meng could tell that he really cared about his health.

It's free anyway...there's no need to hesitate.

Miao Meng thought for a few seconds and decisively agreed to Xingchuan Taku: "Okay, I'll send you the footage when I get back."

Hoshikawa Taku laughed secretly in his heart, Miao Meng had fallen into the trap he had laid for her.

Although it seems that this matter is beneficial to Miao Meng and she can make a lot of money, if she gets used to outsourcing the work of video production, she will find it tedious when doing it herself in the future and will not be able to bear to spend time on editing.

If she relies on these "external forces", she will gradually take it for granted and may even no longer be willing to do it herself.

Once she gets used to this completely outsourced life, she will never be able to go back...

Chapter 127: The magical tools that will be used later.

Today's practice was over. Aine packed her things and was about to leave when Hoshikawa Taku called her.

"Aine, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"No, what's the matter, Mr. Hoshikawa?"

Aine put down what she was doing and looked at Hoshikawa Taku.

"If you're free tomorrow, would you like to come to the cultural festival and watch the performance of the closing band, Pochi and his group?"

Hearing what Hoshikawa Taku said, Aine's heart skipped a beat and her eyes flickered.

Is it a date?

Is Mr. Hoshikawa asking me out alone?

She suddenly felt a little nervous, and her hands subconsciously clenched her guitar bag. Various guesses intertwined in her mind, and her heartbeat unconsciously quickened a few beats.

Before Aine could hesitate for a few seconds, Hoshikawa Taku cleared up her misunderstanding.

"Not only me, but also Xiangzi, Lupa, Xiaozhi and Hiroi. They will all be going. Do you want to come with us?"

Oh, it turns out I was overthinking it...

Aine breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course I'm going. I want to cheer Pochi up close!"

"Okay, where is your home? I'll drive to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Aine hesitated for a moment, but still told him the location of her home.

The corners of Hoshikawa Taku's mouth rose slightly.

Being able to tell others where her home is means that Aine already has a certain degree of trust in him, which is a good start for the future development of their relationship.

The next morning, Aine got up early and washed up. While washing up, she hummed a little tune happily.

Aine's mother was busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. She was very pleased to see Aine so energetic.

Aiyin has been in good spirits these days, as if she has come out of the shadow of her failure in studying abroad. It is indeed a good thing to agree to let her form a band.

Although Aine kept saying that she was fine, as Aine's mother, how could she not notice her daughter's emotional changes?

Now Aine finally came out of the shadows, and the smile on her face became genuine.

Aiyin didn't tell her parents that she had come to be the headliner for another band. After all, it had only been a few days and nothing had happened yet. She planned to tell her parents on the eve of the performance to give them a surprise.

At the breakfast table, Aine was eating happily. Her mother watched her from the side and couldn't help but teasing her, "Aine, today is Saturday. You're up so early. Do you have a date with someone?"

"It's not a date. I'm going to Xiuhua High School's cultural festival. A friend of mine is performing today, and I want to cheer her on."

Aine explained while eating breakfast.

Aiyin quickly finished her breakfast and returned to her room. She turned on Miao Mengqin's video as background music while putting on makeup.

She is a die-hard fan of Miao Meng, and she is very excited to think that Miao Meng will invite her to be a guest in the video later.

This time she is going to the cultural festival and there will be a lot of people there, so Aine specially chose to spend some time putting on an exquisite makeup look.

Just as she was about to finish her painting, she heard a knock at the door.

Then there was the sound of Hoshikawa Taku communicating with her mother.

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Hoshikawa Taku. I'm Aine's friend. I'm here to pick her up for the cultural festival today."

“Oh, so that’s how it is… Aine didn’t tell me she had such a male friend. I was wondering why Aine was so happy these days, it turns out she made a new friend…”

Aine immediately became anxious when she heard her mother's increasingly ambiguous voice.

Hey, mom, you misunderstood. I’m not happy because of this!

Aine really wanted to open the door and rush out, but she was almost done with her makeup and it was not convenient for her to go out and stop it, so she had to speed up her makeup.

It seems that Hoshikawa Taku is very good at pleasing her mother's generation. Aine can hear her mother's laughter frequently.

But Aiyin became more and more anxious, because the more pleasant their conversation was, the more likely her mother would make "unwarranted associations" about their relationship.

When Aiyin finally finished putting on her makeup and hurried out, she saw the increasingly happy smile on her mother's face and knew that her mother must have misunderstood.

"Mom! Don't get me wrong!"

Aine quickly ran over, pushed aside her mother who was talking to Hoshikawa Taku, and explained, "Mr. Hoshikawa is just my friend, don't think too much!"

The mother narrowed her eyes and raised a playful smile: "Oh, really? But it seems that Mr. Xingchuan is a good friend."

Her tone was full of playfulness, clearly teasing Aine.

"mom!"

Aine yelled in dissatisfaction, quickly blocking her mother's view with her hands, her face flushed so red it looked like water was dripping out. "Quick, stop talking nonsense! It's not just Mr. Hoshikawa who's going with me, there are other people too!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I understand."

Aine's mother's smile deepened, her eyes full of teasing, "You guys should go quickly, don't be late."

Aiyin glared at her helplessly, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into immediately. She quickly pushed Hoshikawa Taku out the door and followed him out.

"Let's go quickly!"

She really couldn't stand her mother's gaze.

After leaving the house, Aine still felt embarrassed. She couldn't help but complain, "Mr. Hoshikawa, why did you come to see me in person? Why didn't you let someone else greet me at the door?"

"Lupa has to drive. Xiaozhi feels it's too awkward to go. As for Hiroi...you can see for yourself. I'm the only one who's fit to go knock on the door."

Hoshikawa Taku shrugged and opened the car door.

Lupa was in the driver's seat, with Xiaozhi and Hiroi sitting behind him.

Guangjing reeked of alcohol, obviously having been drinking again, and was now lying on his back, soundly sleeping.

It’s okay that Lupa wants to drive, and it’s okay that Hiroi drank, but Xiaozhi can also come and knock on the door...

Seeing the resentful look from Aine, Xiaozhi apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to going to other people's homes, and I think the manager would be more suitable."

This reason is secondary. The main reason is that Xiaozhi has always felt that Aine is a "connected person", so naturally, Taku Hoshikawa, who has connections, is the most suitable person to go there.

There's nothing I can do...it's already happened, and complaining won't help. I'd better wait until I get home tonight and explain it to my mother so she doesn't misunderstand.

Aiyin sighed deeply, and after getting in the car, she stared at Hoshikawa Taku with a resentful look on her face: "Mr. Hoshikawa, next time you come, just call me beforehand. My mother might misunderstand..."

"Sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

Hoshikawa Taku said sorry, but actually he did it on purpose.

How could he miss this rare opportunity to meet his parents? It wasn't like he had a low EQ, so he didn't know he had to notify me before coming.

He just came to Aine's house on purpose to make himself familiar.

Soon, everyone arrived at the parking space near Xiuhua High School. Today was the open day, and many students, parents and nearby residents came.

There are crowds of people everywhere.

Taku Hoshikawa and others got out of the car. Lupa opened the trunk and prepared to take out a black box and a guitar bag from it.

Hoshikawa Taku stopped her: "Put it here first. I'll come back to pick it up after I've negotiated with the school."

Aine's emotions faded as quickly as they came. She came over curiously and asked, "Mr. Hoshikawa, what's in here? Aren't we here for a tour today? Why did you bring so many things?"

Hoshikawa Taku smiled slightly and deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"This is a magical tool that may be useful later."

Chapter 128: Date with Ichichi Hoshige.

"I'm so hungry... I want to eat..."

Hiroi Kikuri touched her hungry stomach, which was empty except for the wine, and shook Hoshikawa Taku's arm and shouted, "Hoshikawa, please buy me something to eat!"

As soon as they walked into the school from the main road, Hiroi Kikuri couldn't walk anymore - in front of them was a snack street selling all kinds of delicious food.

There are food stalls selling takoyaki, tempura, fried noodles, and sushi, as well as a beverage area selling various drinks and desserts. The air is filled with the aroma of food, and these stalls attract many visitors to stop and taste.

Yesterday, Taku Hoshikawa clearly told Hiroi not to drink too much and to go to bed early, but who knew that this guy would drink alone until late at night again.

When Taku Hoshikawa dragged her out of the house, she had only slept for a few hours and naturally had not eaten breakfast.

As soon as she stepped into the campus, she was tempted by the rich aroma of delicious food and her stomach started growling.

"If you want to eat, eat it yourself. I'm not stopping you."

Guangjing licked his lips and said as if it was a matter of course: "Who told you to come so early this morning? I didn't even bring any money! And you invited me here, do you think I should pay for it?"

"...Are you sure you didn't bring any money? I clearly saw you stuffing a few banknotes into your clothes this morning."

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows and looked at the inside pocket of Hiroi's jacket.

Hiroi Kikuri's face flushed, and she quickly covered her pockets, saying, "That's not money for meals, it's money for my wine!"

She has money but doesn't eat and only thinks about drinking... She made Hoshikawa Takuto laugh out of anger.

"I don't care about you. If you have money, just pay for it yourself."

Taku Hoshikawa didn't intend to pay attention to Hiroi, he just took a step and continued walking.

Seeing this, Guang Jing ran straight to a stall selling octopus balls and said to the student who was selling them, "Give me a box of octopus balls, I want it now!"

"okay!"

The stall owner handed the baked meatballs sprinkled with various seasonings to Guangjing. Guangjing took it eagerly, took a toothpick and put the hot meatballs into his mouth, feeling the heat while eating happily.
