Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

Katsuhiko ripped off the white mesh covering his head and the gauze covering his ears. Apart from some bloodstains, there were no visible injuries. He seemed to have fully recovered.

His bald head was shaved very clean. Sheng Yan touched it, then waved and walked towards the door, saying in authentic Mandarin, "Keep it up, I'm your fan."

Mr. Ka-Kui seemed not to have reacted yet, his eyes still blank.

The nurse who had collapsed at the doorway seemed stunned, with tears still streaming down her face.

Katsuhiko ripped off the name tag from her chest and said, "Takahashi Ayaka, I'll remember you. You dare to go around talking about raping me."

The nurse didn't say anything, she just stared wide-eyed and shook her head frantically.

Fortunately, the glass door to the ward was not the same as the glass door to the corridor, so the three rock musicians waiting outside had no idea what was going on inside.

Sheng Yan ignored their questions again, and left the ward building wearing a mask and a white coat.

A large number of fans holding "Byond" light boards gathered outside the hospital gate, along with a few reporters.

It's obvious that word has already leaked out; probably some insider at the TV station risked making money by selling the information to a newspaper.

Katsuhiko went into the public restroom by the roadside, threw his white coat and mask into the trash can, squatted in the restroom for five or six minutes, and finally took the subway back to Mikoto Convenience Store.

Then, on the subway, I encountered several young women carrying copies of "Paradise Lost" or teenagers carrying "Naruto" magazines, asking for autographs and photos.

The novel *Paradise Lost* is currently even more popular than *Naruto*, and a "Paradise Lost phenomenon" has emerged in certain circles, probably because it so closely reflects current social realities, providing a kind of emotional refuge for those who are having affairs. Of course, the scene in *Paradise Lost* where the male and female protagonists die together in the climax of a passionate encounter is not something to be encouraged.

Katsuhiko readily obliged his fans' requests, readily putting his arm around the young women's waists and posing for photos with them.

In the end, Katsuhiko couldn't figure out whether he had gotten a good deal or had been taken advantage of... He got off the subway with lipstick marks on his face.

On my way back to the convenience store, I called Tanaka Yutaka to let him know. I first asked him if he had any plans to sign a girl group, as I had quite a few songs that were suitable for a girl group to sing.

Tanaka Yutaka looked quite surprised and asked, "Don't you only write songs for Miss Yumi?"

Tanaka Yutaka had long planned to expand the music department; having only Kanzaki Yumi to support it would seem unstable and unreliable.

After all, Kanzaki Yumi is a capricious person, and she's already received a lot of money. Her initial goal was to pay off her debts. Once she's earned enough, she might suddenly retire from the industry and start racing on her beat-up motorcycle, which would ruin the music department...

He privately approached Yumi Kanzaki, hoping she would pick out some of the less appealing songs from her collection of over a hundred and give them to other artists to sing. However, Yumi Kanzaki kept it a secret, insisting that every single one of them was a classic, and even confidently declared that "Katsuhiko only writes songs for her."

Tanaka Yutaka believed it was Katsuhiko's idea, after all, they were husband and wife.

Tanaka Yutaka also tried to sell his songs on the market and collaborate with some songwriters, but they either asked for too high a price or the quality was too poor.

Since Tanaka Yutaka had plans to sign a girl group, Katsuhiko directly recommended the "Aurora Five Girls" girl group to him.

Afterwards, Katsuhiko inquired about the issue of Kanzaki Yumi being stood up by the TV station today, wanting to know how Tanaka Yutaka planned to claim compensation.

Yutaka Tanaka stated that he had been busy preparing for the filming of the movie "Paradise Lost" and had no idea about this matter.

Katsuhiko then called Kanzaki Yumi.

Kanzaki Yumi said with a smile, "Never mind, never mind, they have it tough too, I don't mind, it's okay."

Katsuhiko guessed that Kanzaki Yumi had already received the compensation and was about to ask her again when she hung up the phone.

When Katsuhiko returned to the convenience store, Mikoto and Sayuri were sitting on the sofa, watching TV and chatting. They were holding a stack of photos, including one of Katsuhiko taking a picture of Oriko's butt, one of Katsuhiko tearing his crotch while climbing over a metal railing, and one of Katsuhiko being kissed on the cheek by several women on the subway...

"Are you two so bored you don't know what to do with your money?" Sheng Yan sat on the sofa, looking at the photos on the coffee table one by one, none of them blurred... "You might as well just give me the money and ask me in person."

“It didn’t cost any money,” Sayuri said with a grin. “It was Mr. Oshima’s friendly help at the detective agency.”

Last time, when Katsuhiko's two "living fathers" hired Oshima to spy on Mrs. Noda, Shiraki Masako paid him a large sum because she was asking for the money. Oshima was grateful because the money revived his detective agency. His relationship with the two "living fathers" then improved significantly. A few days ago, he was invited to a convenience store and met Mikoto and Sayuri. They were discussing the identity of the "mysterious wife" Katsuhiko was hiding, and Oshima volunteered to help.

Mikoto glanced at the uncensored high-definition photo of Katsuhiko's exposed body and said with a sullen laugh, "Mr. Oshima said that you don't mind him selling the photo to the newspaper. You're about to become a father, aren't you afraid of embarrassing your child?"

"Then I'll first make the children lose all face, and once they've become shameless, I'll suddenly give them face again..."

I had lunch with Mikoto and Sayuri at the convenience store at noon.

Just after I finished eating, Kanzaki Yumi called, immediately launching into a tirade: "Honey, you're not faithful! Didn't you only write songs for me? How come you secretly brought in five more? The Aurora Five? There are seven of us, oh no, eight of us now, isn't that enough for you?"

Katsuhiko held chopsticks in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, with Mikoto and Sayuri leaning over to listen to him.

The two blinked at each other, and Sayuri slightly opened her mouth, holding up five fingers in a surprised expression. Mikoto simply watched with a smile in her eyes.

Sheng Yan slowly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Have you ever satisfied me?"

"I...you..." Kanzaki Yumi seemed to slam her fist on the table, "Then come to the company, and I'll show you what satisfaction is!"

Kanzaki Yumi hung up the phone and kicked open Tanaka Yutaka's office door.

Tanaka Yutaka had just finished communicating with Chiba Reiko.

Their team had just disbanded, and all five of them were now unemployed. Tanaka Yutaka immediately arranged for them to report to the company the next day and held a signing ceremony.

The addition of five new members to the music department was bound to be a secret from Kanzaki Yumi, who was like the eldest sister. Tanaka Yutaka guessed that if Katsuhiko provided songs for the girl group, given Kanzaki Yumi's personality, she would probably be jealous and might even bully them, so he approached Kanzaki Yumi and talked to her about it.

The gist is: This is a girl group your husband specially invited, so you can't make things difficult for them, or you'll disappoint him. Also, now you can finally take out some songs from your music library! After all, there are over a hundred songs; you can't possibly sing them all, and you don't want your husband to think you're a selfish wife!

Chapter 130 Miss Kuroki Hitomi wants to talk to you about the script

Tanaka Yutaka was surprised and shocked by the number of original songs that Katsuhiko gave to Kanzaki Yumi, and naturally, he was excited.

After all, it has full copyright, so there are no extra expenses. Moreover, with so many songs, each one a classic, it could easily become a star-making factory.

By partnering with adult video platforms, any actress with a bit of popularity could sing a song and become an idol, landing roles on variety shows, performing at commercial events, and shooting adult product commercials—becoming a cash cow. This career path is far more lucrative than retiring to work as an assembly line worker at a food processing plant like Zhuzhong.

Of course, because there were so many songs, and every single one was incredibly good, Tanaka Yutaka became pessimistic about Katsuhiko's future creative output, believing that he had overdrawn his potential. Emboldened by the fact that Katsuhiko had authorized the signing of a girl group, he approached Kanzaki Yumi again, hoping she would contribute a few songs to help the newly signed artists gain popularity.

Let them experience what it's like to be valued by the company. After all, judging from the current situation and the tone of Chiba Reiko's voice when she mentioned Takenaka Katsuhiko, it seems that she also has some feelings for President Takenaka. The five of them will probably become President Takenaka's harem.

"Tanaka Yutaka, you're not allowed to talk to me in that threatening tone anymore, or I'll take a hundred songs and go home to be a full-time housewife!"

Kanzaki Yumi doesn't care how many girlfriends Katsuhiko has. She's angry because Tanaka Yutaka brought up her collection of one hundred songs again.

Actually, it would have been better if Tanaka Yutaka hadn't said anything. By saying it in such a "threatening" tone, Kanzaki Yumi got angry, as if she were being petty.

Of course, she also admitted that she was a little petty, that is, she would not take out any of the songs that Shengyan gave her unless Shengyan asked for them in person.

And then there's Tanaka Yutaka. He used to be a junior assistant to a yakuza boss, but he didn't dare utter a single word in front of me, a yakuza heiress. Now that he's a shareholder of Kakei-sha, he's gotten so emboldened by Katsuhiko that he's started to take advantage of me.

“Miss, you should speak with a clear conscience. I serve the company wholeheartedly, and everything I do is for President Takenaka. It’s not unreasonable to ask you to give a few songs to the artists President Takenaka has recently recruited, is it? After all, if we recruit them and then shelve them, it will make the company seem useless and will embarrass President Takenaka.”

"I'm talking about the threatening tone you're using. What do you mean by 'not wanting to disappoint President Takenaka'? Have I ever disappointed him?"

Kanzaki Yumi slammed her hand on the table, making a loud bang.

Zhizi stood nervously at the office door, while the employees in the hallway peeked out from behind their desks.

Tanaka Yutaka held immense authority within the company, largely due to his yakuza background and the assistance of a junior manager. Threatening employees was commonplace for him, and his favorite catchphrase was, "Take him out and chop off one of his little fingers."

When Eiyo and Kotoha saw Tanaka Yutaka, they deliberately put on a sour face and walked around him. They were very clear that Tanaka Yutaka held a position in their husbands' hearts as a capable assistant, and they were annoyed by his occasional remarks like, "You don't want to disappoint President Takenaka, do you?"

In the entire company, only Yumi Kanzaki dared to be so arrogant.

Tanaka Yutaka was also exhausted, mainly because he really couldn't do anything with Kanzaki Yumi. His only remaining tactic, "You don't want President Takenaka to be disappointed in you, do you?" had probably run out of uses, and she had developed a rebellious attitude.

After Kanzaki Yumi finished her tirade and left the office, Tanaka Yutaka immediately dialed Katsuhiko's number:

"President Takenaka, could you please do something about your wife, Yumi? She just smashed a cup in my office, making me lose face in front of my subordinates..."

Kanzaki Yumi returned to the music club triumphantly. She had just sat down in her chair and hadn't even had time to ask Oriko to make her coffee when Eiyo and Kotoha pushed open the office door with malicious smiles.

“Miss Yumi,” Eiyo said with a grin, arms crossed, “you were so impressive just now.”

“Basic operation.” Kanzaki Yumi opened a drawer, took out a green apple, took a bite, and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. “I was a young lady back in the day too.”

Kotoha covered her mouth and laughed, "I just saw President Tanaka calling my husband, saying that you broke his water glass and embarrassed him..."

Yumi Kanzaki dropped the apple she had just taken a bite of onto the table. Her eyes widened, and she asked, "Is he an elementary school student?"

"You're in big trouble..."

It's 1 PM now. Kanzaki Yumi says she wants Katsuhiko to come to her company; she wants to show him what true satisfaction is...

After receiving Tanaka Yutaka's complaint call, Katsuhiko also felt that Kanzaki Yumi should be taught a lesson about overestimating one's abilities.

Tanaka Yutaka had staked his entire fortune on "Xia Ying She," so even within the company, he had to give him face and make sure he was happy to come and go from get off work. After all, the company's second-in-command couldn't be without authority.

He also mentioned last time that he was in talks with the leader of the "Guanzhou Federation," which had previously competed with "Group 21" for territory, regarding the acquisition of their assets, mainly targeting some real estate they already owned, such as unfinished buildings, overdue properties, and street-front shops...

Such a good partner, and he knows how to maintain boundaries; we can't let him feel disheartened.

Kanzaki Yumi seems to be getting a bit cocky lately, probably because she has too much savings.

After arriving at the company, Sheng Yan first took a stroll around the beverage production workshop, where two men were directing workers to load "Focus-Type" functional drinks into trucks.

Now they don't deliver goods anymore. They just take turns watching the machine every day, adding "Focus Potion" into it. After adding it, they sit in the office and play chess.

Katsuhiko greeted them, then replenished his [Focus Potions] in the vault before leaving.

Katsuhiko noticed that every time he opened the safe warehouse these past few days, a few workers would sneakily glance at him. They were probably spies sent by some beverage company; anyway, they couldn't be copied, so he'd keep them around. He could play with them sometime when he had some free time.

After leaving the production workshop, Katsuhiko first went into Tanaka Yutaka's office, but he deliberately took a long detour, passing by Kanzaki Yumi's rest room first.

The glass door to the break room was open, and Kanzaki Yumi was whispering something to Oriko.

Oriko blushed deeply, looking utterly ashamed.

Kanzaki Yumi suddenly turned her head, blinked her innocent-looking eyes, and said, "Oh, honey, you're here! Tanaka Yutaka called you just now, didn't he? What did he say? He didn't say anything bad about me, did he?"

"They didn't explain it clearly over the phone, I'll go over and ask." Sheng Yan didn't stop walking, his face stern. "You wait here."

"Don't go there...don't..." Before Kanzaki Yumi could finish speaking, Katsuhiko had already walked away.

Oriko whispered, "Yumi-chan, President Takenaka seems really angry."

"It's okay to be angry... just be angry, it's good to be angry... it'll feel really good..."

As Kanzaki Yumi spoke, her face flushed red, and she swallowed hard while rubbing her legs and trembling.

It's that kind of look that's expectant yet reveals fear, "Teacher Oriko, it's your time to shine, you have to help me."

"How could this be? I... I was drunk last night, I don't know why I ended up like that..."

Oriko felt that the intensity last night was just right. President Takenaka was especially considerate and understanding. Any less would have been unsatisfying, and any more would have been unbearable. It was also a memorable experience afterward... an experience she had never had before in her life.

Of course, when I occasionally reminisce, I can't help but let my mind wander. What if we went for something more intense? It would probably be incredibly pleasurable, and I'd probably break down... But I'm too embarrassed to say that; it would seem unladylike.

"No, not at the company!" Kanzaki Yumi jumped up, frantically packing her things. "I just yelled at Tanaka Yutaka, and everyone in the company was looking at me like I was worshipping me. Now I'm going to be a loser. Even if I don't care about saving face, it's still really painful. Come on, let's go home. At home, I can cry and scream as much as I want... Hurry up..."

"It shouldn't be that bad..."

Oriko bit her lower lip, a glint of anticipation in her eyes. As a woman in her thirties, she'd discovered her husband's impotence shortly after marrying at twenty, enduring ten years of hardship before finally realizing last night how blissful it was to be a woman… Meanwhile, Kanzaki Yumi was only in her early twenties, a naive girl with no experience, so it was understandable that she couldn't handle it… Being Yumi-chan's manager came with these perks! It was truly a blessing from heaven. She had to be loyal to her duty, and to reaffirm the happiness of being a woman, she wanted to be a woman again in her next life…

"How could it not be!" Kanzaki Yumi dragged Oriko out of the break room and ran down the stairs, then said, "Since you're so brave, you'll be the starter tonight, otherwise, I'll dock your pay."
