conference room

"... You know, Sumimi is already a household name, so why take the risk of letting Mikado Hatsuka form a band? You have to know that this might affect Sumimi's original fans, and even Ms. Mikado Hatsuka's reputation. If she suddenly joins another group, people will think that she and Ms. Junda Mana are not on good terms, or have had a fight? Fans will also make unwarranted assumptions... Even if the Toyokawa Group supports us, it doesn't mean we will join."

After listening to Xiangzi's proposal, the director did not show any interest but directly expressed his concerns about the impact on the existing plan.

In the conference room, Xiangzi listened calmly to the director's concerns, her face expressionless, as if she had anticipated such questions. She slowly stood up, facing the director, and prepared to respond.

"First of all, I want to correct a mistake. It's not Chuhua who will form the band, but my band... Of course, my band will sign a contract with your agency and become a member of your company. As for the profit sharing, you can negotiate with the Toyokawa family to decide who gets the biggest share. I don't care about that."

"Hey, didn't we agree that we'd take the lion's share? I don't mind you changing your tune here, but how am I going to explain this to Dad later?"

Chaoyang quickly whispered a reminder in Xiangzi's ear.

Xiangzi was completely unmoved. He just closed his eyes, lowered his head and whispered something.

"You didn't give me the money directly, so there's no need for me to fulfill my promise 100%."

311. The creation of the Galaxy Battleship!

"Secondly, this person is a member of the band."

Xiangzi took out his cell phone, clicked on the photo of himself and Wakaba Mutsu from the CRYCHIC period, enlarged it, and handed it to the director.

"...Hmm? Isn't this Miss Wakaba Mutsuki? Is she also participating in this project?"

The director looked at the photo, tapping his fingers on the table and muttering to himself.

"Hmm... that means if your band joins our label, Ms. Ruoye Mu will also sign with us..."

The director sitting opposite was suddenly moved at this moment, not only because of Ruoye Mu's own fame.

Then there are her parents, her father is a famous comedian, and her mother is a well-known actress. They are both household names and popular entertainers. Such parents will always invest resources in their children, and when the time comes, the promotion will definitely be more effective, and the other party will take the initiative to help.

It is even possible to plan a father-daughter business or a mother-daughter business.

For an arts agency that is extremely concerned about numbers, this is almost impossible to refuse.

But Chaoyang felt something was wrong. In his memory, Ruo Yemu had clearly not agreed to Xiangzi.

"You're trying to get something for nothing... She hasn't replied yet... Hmm."

Xiangzi stomped hard with his heel on Chaoyang who was whispering in his ear.

"Your job is to sit next to me and don't say a single extra word."

Xiangzi smiled faintly at the morning sun, but his voice was extremely cold, and his clear eyes seemed to contain polar ice.

"Yes…"

Chaoyang didn't feel any pain, but he felt that Xiangzi seemed to be gradually breaking his bottom line.

[It seems that meeting Su Shi that night was a huge blow to her, and she completely lost her composure.]

"The Toyokawa family and the Wakaba family are related, and Xiangzi and Hemu have been childhood sweethearts. As a sister CP in a group, it is also a very marketable selling point, which is why the Toyokawa family is willing to invest in Xiangzi."

Chaoyang did not choose to keep silent but helped Xiangzi to coordinate this project.

"Since it's a band, are there other members? ...Hmm? Could it be these students?"

"..."

The director accidentally swiped the screen photo to reveal the other members of CRYCHIC.

"No, they were just temporary members of the band in the past. They have nothing to do with this project. Don't worry about it."

"Really? Their faces are all very cute. It's better to be with people you know than with members you're not familiar with. That sense of intimacy and familiarity is more natural in front of the camera."

The director didn't notice that Xiangzi's expression was unhappy. One of her purposes in forming this new band was to forget the memories of CRYCHIC.

Chaoyang immediately snatched back Xiangzi's phone and said to the director who had not yet reacted.

"Looking through other people's phones is a bad habit. The members are currently limited to Wakaba Mu, Xiangzi, and Sanjiao Chuhua. We will look for other members later."

"Is that so? I'm sorry."

Although strictly speaking it was Chaoyang who was rude, Chaoyang was now the next generation heir of the Fengchuan Group and came here to discuss business. As long as he was unhappy, everyone here would have to admit their mistakes, as the capital on both sides was completely unequal.

At this time, Xiangzi returned to his previous calm expression and spoke seriously.

"I will create this band. I will create a unique worldview and a dark fairytale-like performance style to attract attention. As you said, it may cause Sumimi to lose some traffic, but this band... I named it Ave Mujica, and it will bring it back a hundredfold."

"...Hmm...But no matter how you look at it, it's a bit absurd for us to leave everything to a high school student. Otherwise, based on the information we had before, we could definitely agree..."

"If I leave it to someone else, they'll inevitably be shortsighted and focused on short-term traffic and exposure, easily destroying the world I've built. So I can't leave it to anyone else. As a price, I'm willing to take a small portion of the profits."

After hearing what Xiangzi said, the director was silent for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.

He knew that this high school student was no ordinary person. The background of the Toyokawa family and her extraordinary plans and promises forced him to re-evaluate the situation.

"Your proposal is bold and visionary."

The director finally spoke, with a hint of respect in his voice

"But we need more specific safeguards, like the profit-sharing you mentioned. I'd like it to be detailed in the contract terms. We also want the Toyokawa Foundation to back us up. We're practically gambling on the fate of a rising idol group. Isn't that too much to ask?"

While speaking, he looked at Chaoyang. The director knew that Xiangzi did not have the authority to decide matters in this regard.

"...Well, problems that can be solved with money aren't particularly big issues for the Toyokawa family. For example, how about a wager agreement? If a certain goal isn't achieved within a certain period of time, I'll pay you a few hundred million in compensation? We can come to a verbal agreement today, and then assign someone to handle the specific contract details."

At this time there was a knock on the door.

"It must be Chuhua who has arrived."

The staff standing at the door opened the door at the director's signal.

"Excuse me...ah, Saki-chan."

Chu Hua was shocked at first, but he knew that this was a business occasion, so he only said a few words.

"Chuhua, thank you for helping to lead this project."

"Hey, I'm also happy to be able to work with Saki-chan. ...But who's this person next to you?"

"...My cousin, and the one representing the Toyokawa family."

Chuhua was very surprised. Xiangzi could obviously represent the Toyokawa family by himself, so why did he specially call his cousin over? But then he immediately thought of a reason.

"Ah... Saki-chan is just a high school student after all, so she can't really represent a family outside of the family."

"Then let's reach a verbal agreement today. We'll send someone to discuss the specific terms with your legal team."

Chaoyang stood up and shook hands with the director to end today's meeting.

He saw that Chuhua came for Xiangzi, so he didn't want to disturb her.

The director also nodded and signaled the staff to prepare documents and record today's discussion for subsequent formal contract preparation.

"Ah, are you leaving?"

Xiangzi was just about to nod.

"No, Xiangzi is planning to chat with you, Chuhua."

"!?"

Xiangzi looked at Chaoyang in surprise, he had not planned this.

"Don't you understand? She joined your band for you, not for traffic or future fame. So chat with her and reminisce about the past. At least she truly considers you a friend."

【Or maybe we're more than just friends.】

Chaoyang felt that when this man named Sanjiao Chuhua looked at him, his gaze seemed to hurt him.

312. Donut Lady Attacks!

Chaoyang walked out of the office and onto the street and was about to take a taxi when a man wearing a baseball cap, a mask and sunglasses walked up to him.

When he was about to pat Chaoyang's shoulder, Chaoyang immediately sensed the

"Ah ah!"

A cute exclamation was heard.

"Woman? Who are you? Are you a wanted criminal dressed like that? Or are you here to find my father alive?"

"How rude! I'm Mana. Mana just wants to talk to you about something."

After he finished speaking, he took off his sunglasses and slightly lowered his mask to show it to Chaoyang.

"...Uh, who are you?"

Unfortunately, Chaoyang didn't really like pop idols, and didn't recognize that the person in front of him was another member of the Sumimi group, Mana Junta.

"That's outrageous! You don't even know Mana!?"

After saying that, Junda Mana pointed to the advertising display screen in front of a shopping mall opposite.

?Here, the world……?

A dynamic pop music played, and a photo of two people, resembling a photo from an album, played on the screen. One of them was Sanjiao Chuhua, whose face had just been revealed, and the other was the girl in front of him.

"what…"

Seeing Chaoyang seemed to understand her identity, Junda Mana immediately put on her sunglasses and restored her mask.

"Why are you looking for me? I already have a girlfriend."

Chaoyang deliberately teased the little idol in front of him.

"you!……"

Even though Junda Mana had a pretty good personality, she was a little angry after Chaoyang's mischievous words, but for her own purpose, she still endured it.

"Um... would it be convenient for you to have a few words with Mana?"

"Ah? No, I have to go find a woman to get a room with next. I don't have time to date you."

When Junda Mana heard Chaoyang's rude answer, she tried her best to remain calm, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mood.

"I'm not here to date you. I want to talk to you about your investment in forming a band."

"Hmm? What? After all this time, you're thinking of joining the band through the back door? Well, I can help you pass a message to Xiangzi, but I can't guarantee whether you'll be accepted or not."

"No!!! Can you please listen to me, Mana!"

Seeing that the other party seemed really anxious, Chaoyang smiled and waved his hand.

"Stop making a fuss, stop making a fuss. You want to talk, right? It's getting late, so let's find a place to eat and have a quiet conversation."

------------------------

Lounge in the office

At this moment, Xiangzi and Chuhua were sitting on the sofa, but compared to Chuhua's happy face, Xiangzi still had a frown on his face and looked worried.

"Saki-chan... I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I'm so glad."

After Chuhua finished speaking, he wanted to sit closer to Xiangzi, but was stopped by Ximeng's hand.

Xiangzi continued to read the messages on his phone and spoke.

"No, there are still many uncertainties. We haven't found all the members yet. Various accidents may happen before the contract is signed, so we can't take it lightly."

Seeing Xiangzi

"Sa. Saki-chan... that guy you're with, your cousin. Are you close to him?"

Xiangzi put away his phone, closed his eyes, and paused for a few seconds.

"He's just a business partner, but he's dangerous. Please don't get close to him. He's not a good person. He might already be looking for a woman to play with."

-------------------------

"What do you want to drink? Goofy liquor, or carbon-soda liquor?"

"I can't drink yet..."

Chaoyang brought Junda Mana to an izakaya with a pleasant atmosphere and chose a slightly hidden private room so that the two could talk quietly.
