Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

"I bought an electronic keyboard the day before yesterday."

"Electronic organ? Has Xiangzi started practicing?"

Shimizu Rin looked at Toyokawa Shoko beside her with interest, curious about why the girl suddenly chose to buy an electronic piano despite being hungry.

"Well... I want to become better, talented and..."

Xiangzi didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the look she gave Rin revealed everything.

However, Shimizu Rin didn't seem to notice the gaze from Xiangzi. Instead, she admired Xiangzi's desire to improve his keyboard skills.

Continuing to play even when hungry is obviously in line with Rin's style.

"Then I'll treat Xiangzi to a meal. Don't refuse."

"......OK."

Recalling her previous experience, Shoko Toyokawa knew that she could not refuse Rin's kindness now, so she agreed soon after.

But before buying dinner, Shimizu Rin had one more question:

"How long will it take for Xiangzi to get his salary?"

"It was already sent out the day before yesterday."

"...So Xiangzi used this salary to buy an electronic keyboard?"

"Ah."

Now Qing Shui Lin understood everything.

Using her salary to buy an electronic piano meant that if Shoko Toyokawa didn't find extra work next, she would go hungry almost every day.

If you continue like this, your body will be in trouble sooner or later.

"So what is Xiangzi going to do next?"

"Let's go see if there's a suitable job..."

Speaking of this, Toyokawa Shoko's tone inevitably revealed deep fatigue.

The studies for further studies, the customer service job, and the daily practice after owning an electronic keyboard all require Xiangzi to devote a lot of energy.

If he took on another job at this time, given Xiangzi's current age, it would probably be some service industry that requires physical labor. The exhaustion would be too much for Xiangzi, a junior high school student.

Thinking of this, Qingshui Lin slowly stopped and a trace of confusion flashed across his expression.

Because she suddenly had an idea.

Facing the thick night, Shimizu Rin turned sideways with his back to the depressed Toyokawa Shoko.

Under the light of the street lamp, the girl in a light gauze dress spoke softly:

"I have a good job here, Xiangzi, would you like to consider it?"

"Work? Me?"

A hint of surprise quietly appeared in Toyokawa Shoko's golden eyes.

She couldn't imagine what kind of job Rin, a female junior high school student, could provide, and subconsciously thought that this was Rin's charity to her.

but!

Treating someone to a meal is still acceptable, after all, the amount is not large and you can make it up when you have the chance in the future.

But if Rin's money was used directly to help herself, Toyokawa Shoko would definitely not accept it. Even if it was Rin's good intention, Shoko would still refuse.

What's more, Toyokawa Shoko is thinking of inviting Rin to join the band and perform together in the future, so it is even more impossible for her to accept Rin's financial assistance.

Now that she knew Lin's family situation, how could she possibly accept money from Lin, who was even more miserable than herself?

Toyokawa Shoko expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Rin, I can find a job by myself..."

"This isn't charity, nor is it relief. Xiangzi, why don't you listen first? We really need someone to help us."

Qing Shui Lin smiled indifferently. How could she not know what Xiangzi was thinking at the moment?

After so many unexpected encounters, Shimizu Rin already knows the girl named Toyokawa Shoko better than Mutsu, who is Shoko's childhood sweetheart.

For example, sometimes, even simply showing kindness requires considering in advance whether Xiangzi's self-esteem will conflict with it.

"Do you need my...help?"

After hearing what Shimizu Rin said, Toyokawa Shoko immediately realized that the girl was serious about her words, and it was not a one-sided charity as she had imagined.

Having said that, Toyokawa Shoko naturally no longer objected to the work that Rin was talking about, and instead listened quietly to what Rin was saying next:

"A friend and I formed an online idol group, and the group has recently started to make a profit. However, since she and I are responsible for arranging and writing lyrics for new songs, we have to take turns managing the group's account."

"But due to lack of time, some of the operations weren't very effective, so we've been looking for someone with experience in online work to be in charge of running our group's account, but we haven't found the right person yet."

"Now I think Xiangzi is pretty good."

Shimizu Rin said calmly, looking up and carefully observing Xiangzi's reaction. It was not just help and support between friends, Rin was also responsible for Rautism.

If Xiangzi's work ability is insufficient, Rin will naturally not let her serve as the operator of Rautism.

but!

As soon as work was mentioned, Toyokawa Shoko's softness disappeared instantly, and she became serious in an instant, lowering her head to think carefully about the work situation that Rin had just mentioned.

Life is life, work is work.

On this point, Xiangzi and Lin have similar understandings.

Analyze according to the specific situation.

Xiaoxiang, a customer service representative with rich customer service experience, is capable of responding to the comments of fans in the comment area and creating a good atmosphere.

In terms of the operation of the online group, Xiangzi had participated in the operation of CRYCHIC and had some experience. If he could learn systematically on the Internet later, operating the group account would not be a problem.

As for time, if Xiangzi doesn't look for another job, he will obviously have a lot of time to spend on operating the portfolio account.

The perfect fit for operations.

So and so.

This is undoubtedly a job that is extremely suitable for Xiangzi.

Even if the person who invited him now was not Shimizu Rin, Xiangzi might still be tempted by this job.

but!

"Can I ask about the salary for this operations job?" Shoko Toyokawa looked at Rin nervously.

If the conditions offered by Shimizu Rin far exceed the standards for operating in this industry, she will still choose to refuse.

Disguised relief from friends is equally unacceptable to her.

But Qing Shui Lin had anticipated this, and she calmly responded, "Given your age and work level, Xiangzi, your initial salary will be much lower than others, and there will be no internal share of the group. Xiangzi, do you mind?"

Hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko shook her head slightly, her tone revealing a sense of relief: "No, this is the better way to say it."

The girl doesn't want her work to be tainted by personal friendship, so Shimizu Rin is now offering a lower salary that meets her conditions and expectations.

Qing Shuilin noticed that Xiangzi was lost in thought and knew that his invitation was almost successful: "Then Xiangzi, are you willing to help?"

"...I'm fine."

Seeing that Xiangzi finally agreed, Qingshui Lin nodded with satisfaction, and then she said:

"Okay, but I need to discuss this with my friend first. Little Lonely's opinion is just as important as mine."

Shimizu Rin did not forget that Rautism is a two-person online group, so she naturally would not decide to let Xiangzi be the operator of Rautism without Xiao Gudu's consent.

If Xiao Gudu minds Xiangzi being in charge of the operation, then she will have to apologize to Xiangzi.

"Shall I treat you to a meal out? I'll discuss this with my friends tonight and give you a reply tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm fine with anything."

Shoko Toyokawa is very concerned about this possible job that she may get in the future. After all, she really needs the salary to support herself.

Besides, being the operator of the online group that Rin belongs to, doesn't that mean that I will have more opportunities to interact with Rin in the future?

A good thing that kills two birds with one stone!

Shoko Toyokawa took the two bags from Rin's hands and followed closely behind her as they headed to the nearby streets to have dinner.

At this moment, the girl finally smiled from the bottom of her heart for the first time today.

but.

"Wait...did I forget to ask something?"

Shoko Toyokawa always felt that there was some doubt in her heart, but because neither of them had eaten dinner and was hungry, she was embarrassed to ask again now.

After a while, when dinner was placed in front of Xiangzi, she finally remembered the question:

What is the name of Rin's online group?

It seems that Rin never mentioned the name of the internet idol group when she was talking just now?

Shoko Toyokawa looked at the white-haired girl beside her who had already started eating dinner, and she silently put this doubt back in her heart.

"Anyway, Rin will give me the answer tomorrow... No need to rush..."

Xiangzi thought so and immediately picked up his chopsticks.

It was midnight and the two girls had enjoyed a decent dinner.

After saying goodbye, Shimizu Rin and Toyokawa Shoko went home separately and agreed to meet on the rooftop during lunch break tomorrow.

Shimizu Rin returned to the small house along the way. She packed up the food and other items she had bought, and went to the study alone carrying her guitar case.

Instead of starting guitar training early, Lin chose to contact Xiao Gu Du first by mobile phone to discuss with her about the operation of Rautism and new songs.

"Drip drip..."

Taking into account Xiao Gudu's habit of replying immediately and then thinking for a long time before deciding what to reply, Qing Shui Lin felt that a phone call could greatly improve the efficiency of communication between the two.

When they met alone recently, Lin rarely saw Xiao Gudu acting in autistic manner.

Perhaps because the two girls have been together for a long time, Xiao Gu's definition of social anxiety has gradually separated Rin from them.

But this is obviously a good thing. It is not only a small step for Xiao Gu Du to change himself, but also a small step for Rautism to move towards a professional group.

It's impossible to be nervous when playing with other members of the group, right?

A moment later, the phone was connected, and Goto Ichiri's tiny voice rang in Rin's ears.

Even if it is just a conversation between two people, people with social anxiety dare not speak loudly.

"Rin, what's wrong?"

"Well, there are two things I need to discuss with Little Lonely this time."

Rin Shimizu held her Santa and sat down by the window. She looked up at the night view outside the window while gently strumming the guitar in her hand.

"The arrangement of the subtitle has been completed. If nothing unexpected happens, we will start practicing this weekend and try to record and release the subtitle before the weekend of next week."

If you ask Rin Shimizu what her biggest achievement was over the past three days, it would naturally be that she completed the final arrangement of Subtitle at home.

And the final result made Rin very satisfied.

On the other end of the phone, Goto Ichiri was delighted when he heard that the arrangement of Subtitle was completed.

There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"So shall we continue practicing as before?"

"Well, training might be a little tiring. Little Lonely, remember to rest well while practicing these few days."

Shimizu Rin was still worried that Goto Ichiri would stay up late to practice music because he was too excited, which would not be worth the effort, so she gave him some special instructions this time.

Poor condition will also affect the efficiency of practicing Subtitle.

"Also, weren't we at Rautism looking for an operations manager? I just happened to have a candidate recently..."

Later, Shimizu Rin informed Goto Ichiri of Shoko's entire situation.

At the same time, Rin did not hide anything and confessed the fact that Xiangzi was the keyboard player of her former band.

The two girls had a brief discussion.

Since Shoko could indeed be in charge of the operation of Rautism, Goto Ichiri had no objection to this.

When it comes to operations, Goto Ichiri only has a vague understanding of them.
