In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

There is no cold-blooded abuse or accusations in the quagmire here, only continuous opinions... and what is even more frightening is that these suggestions do not contain any negative or positive emotional tendencies, but are purely rational suggestions.

What's even more frightening is that these endless suggestions are all genuine suggestions, not suggestions made out of anger or to make things difficult for others. They are all suggestions that can be achieved with Yawata Kailing's current bass level.

Because of this, it is even more terrifying.

Hachiman Kailing felt that she could carry out all the suggestions given by her employer, but she could never complete all the suggestions given by her employer.

Now she finally understood why the band girl she had met earlier, who was carrying a bass like her, ran away crying.

I guess the girl in the band encountered the same situation as me.

...It's because I encountered this kind of situation where I could do it no matter how hard I tried, but I could never complete the task.

The most torturous journey is the one with no end in sight.

"How about joining my band?"

A dull male voice came from under a brand new fox mask, and the owner of the mask placed his hands on the closed piano lid and cupped his cheeks.

The owner of the fox mask knew that he might have put a lot of pressure on Hachiman Kailing this afternoon, but he didn't care about it at all.

This is because of many factors. One of them is that Hachiman Kailing's ability is limited. If we don't provide her with a whole afternoon of gradual bass teaching like we are doing now, but try to cram all the things that need to be corrected into her head at once, it will definitely not work.

The second is that Chen Xinghua himself is also growing. Every time he teaches Miss Hachiman Hailing and every time he hears a jazz song from her, Chen Xinghua can make a little progress.

So at noon today, he certainly couldn't give Miss Hachiman Kailing so many instructions like he is now.

The third and most crucial point is that if Hachiman Kailing can't even withstand this level of pressure, then don't even think about forming a commercial band with him.

What he wants is a band member who can debut with him next week... or at least next month.

He doesn't have time to play the commercial band version of the member development plan now.

If Hachiman Kailing can't withstand the pressure, then it won't work.

At worst, you can find another bassist, or simply replace the bassist with the synthesized bass sound from an electronic synthesizer.

After all, the pressure that band members in commercial bands have to bear is much greater than it is now.

For example, the inhumane organizers, and the attacks from the anti-fans and fans of the Bang band.

"If you want..."

Chen Xinghua clapped his hands towards Miss Oblivionis and conveyed his meaning to her with his eyes.

...I almost forgot that this fox mask cannot expose one's eyes nakedly like the difficult-to-stretch lace mask on Xiangzi's face.

However, Toyokawa Shoko still understood what Chen Xinghua revealed.

"This is a commercial contract."

Toyokawa Shoko took the contract written on white paper and black ink from the side and handed it to Hachiman Kailing.

"Please read the entire contract in full."

This contract written in black and white was completed by Miss Toyokawa Shoko last night after staying up late.

Because Chen Xinghua wants to run a commercial band that is not mixed with any emotions and is based on pure interests, a complete contract is an indispensable thing.

"If you have no problem with this contract after reading it, please sign your name at the end of the contract."

Shoko Toyokawa placed her thumb on the signature column on the contract.

Compared with Miss Toyokawa Shoko, who has been exposed to the family business since childhood, Chen Xinghua's understanding of systematic business knowledge is a complete mess.

In the eyes of Miss Toyokawa Shoko, compared with his musical talent, Chen Xinghua's talent in learning is simply a mess.

For example, even now he is still unable to communicate with the British in spoken English and can only barely write some written English.

Therefore, Chen Xinghua certainly cannot draw up a standard commercial band contract from scratch overnight.

This standardized contract could only be produced by Shoko Toyokawa.

Seriously, not just for fun? Yawata Hailing took the contract handed over by the lady who was following Ob and carefully read through the clauses with her own eyes.

Chapter 145 I will try to finish it within a week.

Writing a contract may require a professional, but reading a contract only requires a decent IQ and the ability to read.

...The terms of this contract seem quite generous, for both parties. Yawata Kailing evaluated this in her mind.

It says here that once you join and sign the contract, you join the band.

However, the penalty a band member has to pay when he or she leaves the band without reason is very small. Correspondingly, this contract basically does not restrict the band leader's right to kick members out.

From this we can see that the guy who drew up this contract was very confident. He felt that even if one of his band members quit because of dissent, he would be able to find a replacement right away.

So instead of keeping a band member who is not on the same page as you, it is better to kick out the band member with different intentions and find another one.

Yawata Hailing glanced at Chen Xinghua. However, with his level, he should not lack high-level bandmates. For him, this was just a little troublesome.

But the remuneration was unexpectedly generous. Yawata Kailing pointed to the clause about remuneration in the contract. It said that Party A would pay Party B a monthly salary of one million yen one month from the day the contract was signed.

This is only the basic salary without taking into account other commissions.

If he wasn't a rich kid out for fun, then he was confident that he could make back his money within a few months.

It's probably the latter... As if she remembered the experience of military training for an entire afternoon, Hachiman Kailing's arms hanging at her waist couldn't help but tremble.

Or maybe he was actually an unscrupulous boss who was planning to kick all the band members out a month in advance so he wouldn't have to pay them. Hachiman Kailing thought with a sense of malice.

And it's legally feasible.

Hachiman Kailing shook her head and threw this unscrupulous, childish and stupid idea out of her mind.

But someone with this level of musical ability shouldn't be so bored...working hard for a month just to trick the band members into working for nothing.

"Do you have a pen?"

Hachiman Kailing still looked down at the contract, but she pointed her finger at the lady who was following something behind Ob.

Not only would he ruin his own reputation by doing that, but what good would he gain from it?

Besides, Hachiman Kailing felt that although her employer was not well-known in the music circle at present, this reputation was still many times more valuable than a mere one million yen.

After all, a good piano master earns much more money than an ordinary star band.

And this employer has essentially secured the next world-class pianist...as long as he's willing to become famous.

So there is no need for him to damage his precious reputation for a million yen.

A freshly opened black watercolor pen was stuffed into the palm of Hachiman Kailing's hand by Toyokawa Shoko, which made the latter sign her name on the contract without hesitation.

From the perspective of a bassist who makes a living from music, I've drawn an SSR. Hachiman Kailing carefully examined her name, which had been placed on the tip of the paper.

Even if I can't stay in this band in the future, as long as I quit for normal reasons such as money instead of backstabbing, I guess the experience of being a bassist in this band will be enough for me to live on for the rest of my life.

...If any member of this band were to quit in the future for petty reasons like money, they would probably never be able to make a living from music again, thought Hachiman Kailing.

"Can you please prioritize my band over other bands you're in?"

Chen Xinghua asked Hachiman Hailing who was in deep thought.

He needs band members who listen to him 100%, follow his orders like puppets, and don't raise too many objections.

Because that's all nonsense, and he can handle most of the band's problems...except for the family disputes, of course.

In short, Chen Xinghua has only one requirement for the band members, and that is to lie down... wait for the big dad to lead them, and don't think about those weird things.

"...In other words, when my band has an event, can you postpone the events of other bands?"

Hachiman Kailing thought for a moment. Although he used a questioning sentence, his tone was that of a statement.

In other words, does he think that putting his band before other bands is a necessary and unquestionable premise?

"Can you give me a week to process it?"

But this is what should be done.

You get what you pay you have to take on what you are responsible for... A monthly salary of one million yen without having bassist 007 is already a very good boss.

For most band members when they first debuted, a monthly salary of one million yen is beyond their reach, let alone 200,000 yen.

Therefore, the issues regarding other bands that I am concurrently involved in need to be resolved as soon as possible.

"As fast as possible."

Chen Xinghua said calmly, "I don't have much time."

Don't have much time? Hachiman Kailing wanted to blurt out the fact that she was still a student, because most students were bound by the nine-to-six school schedule and couldn't spare much time for band practice.

But she quickly gave up the idea.

Because the school she attends is Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, which does not focus much on academic advancement, and not the neighboring Hanaoka Girls' Academy, which pays great attention to students' academic advancement rate, nor is it Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, which has a history of a hundred years and whose students are either rich or noble.

In this academy, there are those who sit at the front desk and skip classes for a few days without giving a note to go play in a band, there are those who sit at the back desk and leave school very early to pursue their idol career, and there is also an unknown smiling lady who jumped from a three-story height without any protection.

So if the band rehearsal time conflicts with school time, then just run away... Just kidding, you still have to write a note for leave.

"Um……"

Hachiman Kailing nodded and said, "I'll try to finish it within a week."

It seems that this employer is easy to get along with. He pays well, has relatively simple requirements, and can help the bassist improve his playing skills... Whether the last point is a benefit remains to be discussed. After all, when your boss is willing to spend time improving your work level, any normal person would feel a lot of pressure.

Chapter 146: Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy.

After school, most of the classrooms at Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy were quiet enough to hear the sound of pens hitting the ground.

This is not because the students here are as well-educated as the young ladies in Yuezhisen Girls' Academy and will not make loud noises in the classroom.

The actual reason may be just the opposite. It is precisely because the students here are "lively" enough that they hurriedly ran out of the classroom with their schoolbags the moment the school bell rang, taking the noise and the girlish vitality out of this place.

Hachiman Kailing picked up the bass box weighing more than ten pounds with one hand, and used her other free hand to hold a chocolate-flavored jelly drink with a panda pattern on it, pretending to pass by the seat at the table in front of her.

"Very happy, how come I didn't know you like to play the drums in the air so early in the morning?"

The black-haired girl turned her head and looked at the table behind her, with a look of helplessness on her pretty face.

"Not really…and it's not early in the morning anymore."

"School is over this afternoon."

"makes sense."

Hachiman Kailing placed the chocolate-flavored jelly drink with a panda pattern on it in front of the black-haired girl.

Sitting behind the black-haired girl, Hachiman Kailing and the black-haired girl get along very "harmoniously".

"Are you going to work at RING again this afternoon?"

Hachiman Kailing stretched out her hand and placed it on the side of the black-haired girl's desk, then asked the black-haired girl with some curiosity.

"No, it's not my turn today."

The black-haired girl reached out and took off the black headphones hanging on her earlobes. "By the way, what day is it today?"

"Thursday."

Hachiman Kailing replied.

"But I still have to go to RING today."

The black-haired girl sighed a little. It was only Thursday and there were still two more days until the weekend.

"Have you found a new band? Lixi?"

Based on the information that Shiina Riki had no shifts today and had to go to RING, and combined with the news that she was happily playing drums in mid-air above the table this morning, Yawata Kailing deduced this conclusion.

"There is no such thing."

Shiina Riki answered immediately.

Hachiman Kailing looked down at Shiina Riki.

If I didn't find a new band, then...

"That means you've been reunited... Congratulations."

"Hmm...So what about you, Hailing? Which band are you playing today?"
