Chapter 1707 Working Status (Continue to Write and Read)

"………………And then? What did you do to Ms. Toyokawa's father?"

"That's really rude of you to say."

Duanmu Huai sat on the sofa and curled his lips at Heichuan Akane.

"I just sent him to the construction site."

"Construction site?"

"That's right. Loan sharks will send people who can't pay back the money to work on construction sites, and then take a portion of the referral fees and wages as repayment. This is the best solution."

"is that so?"

"Of course, it's legal and not dangerous. Plus, the amount he owes isn't huge, so I think he can pay it off in about half a year."

"Hmm? Didn't you borrow 50,000? Why does it take half a year to pay it back?"

"Because of the interest, 15,000 a day. Do you think it's easy to pay back the money? Don't worry, I've already informed them, and those guys won't do anything behind the scenes. This is already the best outcome. If I hadn't stepped in, those guys wouldn't have stopped so easily. In the worst case, they would have made Toyokawa Shoko's father bear a huge debt, and then signed an insurance policy to have him crash his car."

“………………Usury is terrible.”

"Of course, fortunately, Toyokawa Shoko's father only borrowed money to drink and didn't gamble, so he was still saved. If he was a gambler, I would turn around and leave without doing anything."

Duanmuhuai shook his head as he spoke.

There is no cure for gamblers and drug addicts. Once they are addicted, there is only one way out: death. If Toyokawa Shoko's father went to play pachinko or marbles to borrow money, even if Toyokawa Shoko knelt in front of Duanmu Huai and said that she was willing to do anything, Duanmu Huai would not care about it.

"So, Ms. Toyokawa now......"

"That's fine. She even thanked me. Besides, isn't she working hard now?"

"………………………"

Upon hearing this, Heichuan Akane looked at Duanmu Huai with a complicated expression.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"No, how should I put it...Xiao Ai, you sold someone's father out, and he should thank you?"

"That's right, at least I got a good price for it. By the way, I just gave my opinion and didn't even get paid, so strictly speaking it wasn't me who sold it."

Duanmu Huai just asked the sorcerer to investigate the current situation and debts of Toyokawa Shoko's father, and then he called and negotiated with the other party. Although usury is indeed illegal, and the other party also said that if Duanmu Huai asked, they were willing to erase the debt - compared to a mere fat sheep, it is obviously more cost-effective to have a relationship with Duanmu Huai.

But Duanmu Huai thought about it and decided to let them follow the rules. After all, for Xiangzi's father, this was also a kind of labor reform. Let him work on the construction site for a few months, and he would probably not be so hypocritical. Of course, Duanmu Huai also told Toyokawa Xiangzi this point. At least he should be able to support himself. After all, the father looked like a gigolo.

Oh, and he’s a gigolo who married into the wife’s family.

You need to go to places like construction sites to encourage them to work, like moving bricks or something like that.

Of course, Toyokawa Shoko was also worried about her father, but she seemed to understand that her father's current situation was not suitable for being spoiled, so she nodded in agreement. Of course, the loan sharks also told the construction site that they could give Toyokawa's father some dirty and heavy work, but they would not give him any dangerous work.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then Toyokawa Shoko walked in, holding documents and looking serious and nervous.

"Ms. Duanmu, Ms. Heikawa, it's almost time for you to come on stage."

"Why……………"

After hearing Toyokawa Shoko's report, Duanmu Huai sighed silently, then stood up.

“Let’s go…”

"Hoohoohoo."

Seeing him like this, Kurokawa Akane chuckled and followed Duanmu Huai out of the lounge.

As summer vacation draws closer and the production of the film is nearly completed, the next step is naturally the most important one - promotion.

This is also the part that Duanmu Huai hates the most.

Because every time this time comes, all kinds of invitations will fly into the office like snowflakes, making him feel annoyed.

Of course, in the final analysis, this problem was caused by Duanmu Huai himself.

As a national movie star, Duanmu Huai rarely appears on any show, and because he has the ability to conceal his presence, it is difficult for others to secretly take photos of him. There are even many times when paparazzi look around blankly with their cameras, and Duanmu Huai stares at him from behind, which is like a funny cartoon.

It would be fine if Duanmu Huai was a gradually fading movie star like Arimaka, but the problem is that he shoots a movie every year, and the quality is incredibly stable. Although not every movie is a big hit, both the quality and the box office are above the passing line, and occasionally there will be a few national-level characters like Yameme, similar to Sadako.

Therefore, Duanmu Huai's popularity has always been high, not to mention that the part he performed in the previous prank show was also very popular. It can be said that any show that can invite Duanmu Huai is equivalent to a guarantee of ratings - because his fans can only see him on TV a few times a year.

However, the reason why Duanmu Huai appeared was to promote the movie, which was not difficult for these programs. It can even be said that the producers usually tried their best to build a good relationship with the program team and begged them to help promote the movie. But when it came to Duanmu Huai, the program team competed for the right to promote the movie like an auction, so as to get Duanmu Huai's bundled participation rights.

In this case, of course, the program group with high ratings and attention will win.

So Duanmu Huai had to come and participate.

If it was a prank show like the previous one, Duanmu Huai would actually be quite interested. But the problem was—this was a cultural show!

This is the program that is the least compatible with Duanmu Huai!

Kurokawa Akane also knew this, so he couldn't help laughing at this moment.

The main content of this program is to review the popular domestic movie stars and then ask about their future plans.

So Kurokawa Akane, Arima Kana, Sakurajima Mai and Duanmu Huai were also invited. In addition to them, there were several other stars.

Of course, most of these people grew up under the care of Duanmu Huai... Well, they seem a little weird.

Duanmu Huai really disliked this kind of interview-style program, but he had no choice but to go on it.

Fortunately, this kind of program is relatively serious, and it doesn't have any nonsensical spoofs like variety shows, and everyone comes one by one. So after Duanmu Huai finished filming his part, he just ran away. As for the rest, Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai will be responsible for handling it.

I just don't care about these boring things.

Walking out of the studio, Duanmu Huai stretched and looked around boredly. Then he saw Toyokawa Shoko, who was in charge of miscellaneous chores, standing next to him and talking to a green-haired girl.

Oh, it’s Wakaba Mutsu.

I remember her mother Mori Minami was here today too... Yeah, that's why. Duanmu Huai remembered that Ruoye Mu also showed up at Xiangzi's band's farewell party. Was she also a member of the band?

Since you are free anyway, why not go over and chat?

"Yo."

Duanmu Huai walked over and waved to the two of them.

"Ah, Miss Duanmu."

Toyokawa Shoko also hurriedly returned the greeting, and Wakaba Mutsu also lowered his head.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Not that long, I saw you at the school gate before, but we haven't talked for a long time."

"Hey?"

Seeing Duanmu Huai and Ruoye Mu talking to each other, Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised.

"Do Miss Duanmu and Xiaomu know each other?"

"Oh, I've acted in a few plays with her mother, so I know her too."

“Ah, so that’s it…”

Fengchuan Xiangzi felt a little bit surprised by Duanmu Huai's answer. But after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed not strange for Duanmu Huai to know Ruoye Mu's mother, given his status in the entertainment industry.

“Speaking of which…”

Duanmu Huai always asks whatever he wants, and it is no different now.

"I remember she was at that party before, right? Is she also a member of your band?"

"Ah, yes..."

Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"Because we grew up together, I invited her to join the band."

"I remember you were the keyboard player? What about her?"

"Guitar."

“She plays guitar?”

Looking at Ruo Yemu, who was silent and could not even kick three farts, Duanmu Huai could not imagine her playing the rock guitar. If she played the bass, Duanmu Huai could understand.

"Xiao Mu is very good at playing the guitar."

Perhaps Toyokawa Shoko mistakenly thought that Duanmu Huai was doubting Ruoye Mu's guitar playing skills, so she hurried to help explain.

"It's not that I doubt her guitar skills, I just can't imagine her playing the guitar."

Duanmu Huai frowned and stared at Ruoye Mu.

"Aren't guitarists usually the most active ones in a band? I really can't imagine her becoming like that."

"There are exceptions to this..."

When it comes to this topic, even Toyokawa Shoko loses her confidence.

At this moment, Ruoye Mu raised the handbag in his hand towards Duanmu Huai.

"what?"

"Want to eat?"

"eat?"

Duanmu Huai leaned over curiously and took a look at what was in Ruoyemu’s bag—cucumbers?

You are a girl of fifteen or sixteen, carrying so many cucumbers around?

How do you plan to use it?

Or do you need so many?

Of course, this thought only flashed through Duanmu Huai's mind. It was impossible for him to really complain about this in front of Ruo Yemu.

"Then I won't be polite."

Duanmu Huai picked up a cucumber and started to eat it. It was quite delicious.

"Mm, this tastes good, where did you buy it?"

"I grew it."

"You still have this ability... Not bad, very good."

After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Ruo Yemu seemed to be in a better mood. Although there was still no expression on her face, she looked much more relaxed than before.

"By the way, what happened after that incident?"

Duanmu Huai was chewing a cucumber while looking at Toyokawa Shoko.

"Isn't Takamatsu Tomori planning to form a new band?"

"Ah, well, I heard her say that a kid named Chihaya Aine invited her to form a new band, and Riki will also join, but Suyo... "

When mentioning the last name, Toyokawa Shoko's expression was a little complicated. She should be referring to the girl who was kneeling in front of Shoko at that time.

And just at this moment, Ruoye Mu spoke.

"This weekend, they will hold a LIVE at RING."

Having said that, Ruoye Mu looked at Toyokawa Shoko and then at Duanmu Huai.

"Want to go see it?"
