Chapter 1693 Proposal (Finally finished the main storyline)

Toyokawa Shoko was obviously nervous in front of Duanmu Huai. After chatting with him for a few words, she stood up and said goodbye. After watching Toyokawa Shoko leave, Duanmu Huai looked at President Saito Kyoko.

"What's going on? B Komachi wants to add more people?"

It is not uncommon for idol groups to add members, and many idol groups can eventually add 48 members. It's just that Duanmu Huai has never been very fond of this practice.

"I would like to, but not right now. As for whether to add people in the future, it depends on what Ruby and the others think."

Saito Kyoko shook her head.

"Then why did you hire such a little girl? It seems like she doesn't have much experience."

"Um……………"

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Saito Kyoko scratched her face embarrassedly.

"It's actually a small favor. I know her mother... Do you know Toyokawa Group?"

"I've heard that this is the young lady coming here to experience life?"

"It's a little different. Her mother died of illness a few years ago. I don't know if it was because of this that her father ran into problems in management, causing the group to suffer huge losses..."

"oh……………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai clapped his hands.

He just felt that the name Fengchuan seemed familiar and he had heard it somewhere. Wasn’t this the unlucky sponsor that his assistant was gossiping about just now?

"So her father resigned and was expelled from the Toyokawa family..."

"Then this young lady's life is not easy, so she wants to make money to support the family?"

Duanmu Huai almost understood what was going on. To be honest, he felt that Toyokawa Group was very merciful for not filling Xiangzi's father with cement and sinking him in Tokyo Bay. It was a loss of tens of billions. If Duanmu Huai knew that one of his idiots was such a spendthrift, he would have drawn his sword and chopped him down without saying a word.

"That's about right. So when she came to me, I wanted to help her. It's not easy for a child from a good family like this to find a job. Besides, it's not easy for her to find a job at her age."

"That's right, she is in the third grade now?"

"Yes, of course. She has also signed a contract with us... She plans to debut as a band next year. Her goal is also to enter the Budokan, so I asked her to help B Komachi this year so that she can gain some experience."

"They're forming a band when their family conditions are so bad... Never mind. I don't have much to say."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"This year she will enter Yanggao High School's performing arts department, and her tuition will also be covered by the agency. Of course, we are not doing charity, and we will have to earn this money back from her in the future."

"Of course. If she can't make any money, just let her debut as an amateur."

"Stop talking about this nonsense."

Kyoko Saito glared at Duanmu Huai speechlessly.

“We are a formal firm.”

"I didn't say no."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"By the way, have you told Ruby and the others about this?"

"I will explain it to them clearly. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

Xiangzi graduated from junior high school this year, which means she is younger than Ruby. It is normal for idol groups to add new members. So if Saito Kyoko doesn't explain this matter to Ruby and the others, Ruby and the others might worry about whether there will be changes within the team. This year is a critical year for B Komachi, and nothing can go wrong.

"Speaking of the band......"

Duanmu Huai stretched and lay on the sofa.

“I still don’t understand why anyone would be interested in the band.”

"You are envious because you can't sing well."

Kyoko Saito rolled her eyes speechlessly. Originally, she had considered letting Duanmu Huai become a triple-talent star in film, television and music. However, as soon as Duanmu Huai opened his mouth, Kyoko Saito dismissed this idea. Duanmu Huai's voice was obviously not bad, but he was tone-deaf.

Of course, if you train hard, it is possible to cure it, but Duanmu Huai has no interest in this and is determined not to do it. So, in desperation, Saito Kyoko can only let him do it.

But think about how Makanai wanted to expand the market but ended up with a complete failure. Maybe it would be a good choice for her to focus on acting like Duanmu Huai.

"How could I be envious? I simply don't find it interesting. Besides, girl bands are almost the same as idols. What's the point of being surrounded by a bunch of men?"

"In fact, girl bands have quite a lot of female fans."

"Is that right?"

Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised to hear Saito Kyoko's answer. He had always believed that girl bands were no different from idol groups, with beautiful girls singing and dancing on stage and a bunch of idol fans below. But according to Saito Kyoko, girl bands have quite a lot of female fans?

"If you are interested, you can go to places like Shimokitazawa. It is quite interesting. Agencies and music companies often go there to scout out bands or artists."

"If you're interested."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand. He was not very interested in this kind of thing, so he just said it casually.

To Duanmu Huai, the appearance of Toyokawa Shoko was just a small episode, but he did mention it to Yanami and the others at school. Chitanda, like Duanmu Huai, didn't quite understand it, but Yanami was quite excited.

"Ah, girl band? I'm familiar with them. I sometimes go to see their performances with my friends."

"Oh? How does it feel?"

"Quite interesting."

As he spoke, Yanami made the motion of playing the guitar.

"When I see them performing, I sometimes wonder if I should form a band for fun, but forming a band would take a lot of time to practice, which wouldn't be fun."

Well, this is in line with Yanami's personality.

"But I seem to have an impression of Toyokawa Shoko you mentioned. Let me look for it..."

Yanami took out his cell phone and searched for it.

"Found it! I was thinking I'd heard this name somewhere before. She used to be a keyboardist in a band called CRYCHIC. There's also a video of their performance online. Listen to it."

Yanami played the video and then a song came out from the phone. "Through the layers of clouds, the light keeps shining, filling my heart and overflowing. My cheeks are also shining without me noticing..."

"It sounds very nice..."

At this moment, Chitanda was also attracted over.

"What's the name of the song?"

"Hmm... Let me see, her name is Kasuga Kage."

“The name is also very sentimental.”

Chitanda seems to like this name very much.

"But the band has been disbanded now, and there has been no news about them since then. Xiao Ai, is Toyokawa Shoko planning to debut with the agency?"

"Who knows?"

Duanmu Huai leaned back in his chair and yawned. Of course, Duanmu Huai would not go around telling everyone about Toyokawa Shoko's situation. However, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, Toyokawa Shoko's situation was indeed more difficult. As for her father, Duanmu Huai was not optimistic that he could make a comeback.

It is not common in the industry to cause a loss of tens of billions. Even Duanmu Huai, who only rubs shoulders with the business world, has heard the gossip, which means that other companies have naturally known about it. Even if Toyokawa Shoko's father wanted to make a comeback and find a job, no company would give him the opportunity to compete for a management position.

After all, when someone can cheat out hundreds of billions at a time, who knows what might happen.

The Toyokawa Group is a large and powerful company, so it won't suffer any major damage. If it were any other company, it would probably go straight into bankruptcy.

Who would want to use such a plague god?

Even Duanmu Huai would not recruit such a person into the company.

Duanmu Huai estimated that even if Toyokawa Shoko's father could do management in the future, he would at most be the manager of a small convenience store.

I just don't know if this guy can swallow his pride and do those part-time jobs. Well, since his daughter is so old already, he should be not young either.

This is embarrassing. In terms of energy, he can't beat the young people. In terms of experience, he is a scoundrel who has cheated billions. Toyokawa Shoko is also unlucky. With such a father, he is probably hopeless.

Oh, never mind. No matter what problems there are at home, as long as she doesn't bring them to the workplace, it's fine.

"Don't mention these nonsense. What results have you found in your investigation these days?"

Duanmu Huai decisively put the matter aside and began to ask the two about their investigation into the supernatural location. Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Yanaijian stuck out his tongue.

"Oh, how should I put it, this isn't going well."

"Not going well?"

"Well, Eru did find some spiritual places from many books, but..."

"but?"

"But after we checked, we found that those places have now become scenic spots. How could there be any real spiritual phenomena in such places?"

"…………………"

makes sense.

Duanmu Huai didn't believe that a place full of tourists was haunted, but it wasn't haunted by evil ghosts.

"Where's the haunted house?"

"We went to several places before, but we didn't get anything."

Speaking of this, Yanaijian just laid her head on the table. Strictly speaking, there was a ghost, but Duanmu Huai smashed it with his bare hands when they were not paying attention.

However, Duanmu Huai also knew that he had to use other methods to deal with Banaijian.

"Come on, don't lie down, here are some pastries for you."

"real!"

Sure enough, when he heard about food, Yanai, who was half-dead and weak just now, suddenly his eyes lit up and he climbed up.

"Wow, it's a high-end dessert from Kyōka-do! I won't hold back then!"

As he said that, Yanaijian took out a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.

Seeing Yanaji looking so happy, Chitanda was a little confused.

"Xingcai, I remember you said before that you wanted to lose weight?"

"You don't understand this, Eru-chan."

In response to Chitanda's complaints, Yanamichi reached out and took out another piece of dessert, shaking it with his fingers.

“This is a dessert from a famous store!”

"so?"

"Generally speaking, famous stores like this don't give full portions, and short weight is a common occurrence. So even though this one is so big, it's actually only half the size! In other words, I only take in half the sugar, so doesn't that mean I can lose weight?"

If the store heard what Yanaijian said, they would take her to court.

“………………Yes, is that so?”

"Forget it."

Seeing Chitanda's confused look, Duanmu Huai patted her shoulder.

If you take Yanami's weight loss method seriously, you will just be making things difficult for yourself.

"Ah, I thought of it!"

Perhaps it was because of the dessert that his brain became active, and Yanami slammed the table.

"How about we go explore the ruins!?"
