Tokyo Soft Rice King.

This was a fruitless and painful love affair.

Chapter 107 Become My Belonging

Murasaki lowered her head and remained silent. She couldn't utter even a word of refusal, yet she felt deeply saddened by this arrangement.

Kuroba Akira had already tolerated her whims once, agreeing to her request to avoid the public eye, which is why Murasaki no Miyako has now embarked on the path of voice acting.

Therefore, Murasaki no Miyako knew that she no longer had the right to be willful, and bringing it up would only bother him.

Moreover, no matter which path they choose, as long as they are artists and want to enter the entertainment industry, they will still encounter the same situation... He will definitely keep his distance from himself.

So, is there any way to secretly be with him without being seen by the world?

Murasaki no Miyako did not completely despair. She began to think about how to find a way that would allow her to fulfill her love life without affecting her work.

The influence that Akira Kuroba had on her was not only giving her dreams and drive, but also the determination that she would no longer sit idly by and wait for death.

Ziyin, Ziyin... think of something quickly! If this continues, the wise ruler will drift further and further away from you!

Murasaki began to ponder deeply, while Kuroba Akira, after explaining why he couldn't be Murasaki's manager, once again extended an olive branch to Tashiro Kurenai.

"In conclusion, the manager accompanying Ziyin must be a woman, which is why I thought of you, Ms. Hongxiang."

"But I've never been a broker... Aren't there more professional brokers than me?"

"Whether you're a professional or not isn't really important. If you're really willing to be Ziyin's manager, you don't need to manage everything for her like a professional manager, because I'm the producer here."

"So, Amin, you're the producer?"

"Yes, so I will decide which agency Ziyin will join in the future, as well as handle business negotiations, image promotion, development strategies, and negative news. Miss Hongxiang, you don't need to worry about these things."

"So what do I need to do? I mean, assuming I really do become Shion-chan's manager, I can't just do nothing, right?"

"Miss Hongxiang, all you need to do is arrange the schedule, accompany Ziyin to the work site, and pay attention to her health."

"It sounds like a mundane job like handing water to athletes..."

It's actually more like a nanny.

You could also describe her as a personal maid.

When Tashiro Kurenai got drunk, she said she would even be willing to be a maid, which shows that she was still willing to serve others.

It's a pity I can't have her as my maid, but having her as Murasaki no Miya's maid is not bad either.

"However, today I also discovered a unique advantage that Miss Hongxiang has that I do not, which is to do image design for her."

"Hmm... so you're picking out clothes for her?"

Of course, there's also makeup, which is Tashiro Kurenai's specialty.

However, voice actors don't really need to wear makeup if they don't participate in concerts or appear on variety shows, and Murasaki no Miyako is already very beautiful without makeup.

Therefore, Akira Kuroba did not insist on makeup. The reason he mentioned image design was only to lure Kyouka Tashiro into a trap.

"Yes, even if she doesn't take on photo shoot jobs, dressing up nicely can leave a good impression on the people at the agency and the animation director. So, Ms. Hongxiang, you can choose Shion's outfits for going out to work according to your own ideas."

"You can change her clothes according to my idea!"

This was a very attractive job opportunity for Tashiro Kurenai.

Today, when I was buying clothes for Murasaki no Miyako, Tashiro Kurenai was completely engrossed in a dress-up game. I wanted to buy her a whole bunch of clothes, but in the end, I only bought three.

But just seeing Murasaki no Miyako change into all sorts of clothes made her feel that the money she spent today was well worth it.

If she were to have Murasaki change her clothes under the guise of work, she would have no way to refuse!

Seeing that Tashiro Kurenai looked interested, Kuroba Akira pressed his advantage and said...

"Most importantly, I don't trust other people, but I trust Miss Hongxiang."

“Amin…”

If it were any other professional agent, seeing such a promising talent as Murasaki no Miyako, they would definitely exploit her looks to turn her into an actress, or get her a bunch of jobs shooting suggestive and revealing photoshoots, or even arrange for her to do "pillow business" (sexual favors), trying every possible way to squeeze this cash cow out of Murasaki no Miyako.

Therefore, it is actually safer to hire a layperson as an agent.

Furthermore, after learning about Tashiro Kurenai's past life and current job, Kuroba Akira could be said to know her inside and out.

Furthermore, Tashiro Kurenai herself also likes Murasaki no Miyako, and people don't intentionally hurt things they like.

Moreover, it is said that people speak the truth when they are drunk, and he remembered everything Miss Hongxiang said when she was drunk.

An easy job, a monthly salary of 200,000 is enough, I'd even be willing to be a maid.

Simple, I'll satisfy all your needs!

"As for the compensation, I had already agreed with Ziyin that it would be split 50/50, and Miss Hongxiang, your compensation will be 20% taken from my side."

"Um, Mingjun, Miss Hongxiang's reward can be split with me!"

Upon hearing that Kuroba Akira was going to use his own earnings to pay his manager's salary, Murasaki raised an objection.

She didn't want Kuroba Akira to receive less money through her.

Because in that case, my value to him would decrease again...

However, Kuroba Akira shook her finger, rejecting her suggestion.

"No, since I proposed hiring Miss Hongxiang as your agent, then it has to come from me. And how much money we get depends on how high you climb, Ziyin. As long as you earn enough, splitting it half with Miss Hongxiang would be a considerable income."

"Well……"

Murasaki lowered her head again. What she really wanted to say was that she didn't care about the money, as long as Kuroba Akira was willing to continue being her producer and watching over her, that would be enough...

But not taking a single penny would be too suspicious, and might even reveal my true feelings... If that were to happen, my relationship with him would come to an end.

Akira Kuroba felt that making concessions was necessary; if she were only paid a fixed salary, she might not be truly interested.

No one can guarantee that Purple Palace will be a great success, so this is actually a venture capital investment.

Moreover, Kuroba Akira can't even pay his manager's salary right now... so in reality, he's getting something for nothing, and it's a second time.

First, recruit a future superstar, then recruit her as a personal agent. That way, once she debuts, you won't need to follow her around doing all the work. You can just set a target and wait for the money to roll in...

This is what you call living off a woman!

Kuroba Akira chose to trade profit margin for comfort.

"Although I cannot guarantee how much money Ziyin will earn right now, I can assure you, Miss Hongxiang, that Ziyin is a one-in-a-million genius."

Kuroba Akira was implying to Tashiro Kurenai that he had already seen Murasaki no Miyako's talent, and that her talent level was at its peak. He had already explained his abilities to her, and he believed that she would understand the meaning behind it.

Murasaki was very happy to hear these words. The fact that Kuroba Akira was proud of her gave her a great sense of satisfaction. She enjoyed the feeling of being needed by someone she liked.

Tashiro Kurenai closed her eyes, frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time before opening them again, and then looked at Kuroba Akira seriously as she replied.

"This is no small matter... Could you give me some time to think it over?"

"Of course, there is still some time before Ziyin's debut. Miss Hongxiang, you can take your time to consider it. Just give me a clear answer within this year."

"It won't take that long... I'll give you an answer within this month."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

The attempt to poach Tashiro Kurenai has come to a temporary halt, and just then, the waitress brought out the dishes we had ordered earlier.

Kuroba Akira began eating in a good mood, while the two people opposite him did not touch their chopsticks, each lost in their own thoughts.

He could tell that he had already persuaded Tashiro Akari, and now all that was needed was an opportunity for her to make up her mind.

If she goes back and is oppressed by the unscrupulous company and the idiot boss again, she will probably resign in anger and turn to my side.

Say goodbye to that damned corporate life! Join me in clinging to the coattails of a genius and enjoying a delicious life of luxury!

If Murasaki successfully debuts and becomes a well-known voice actress in the industry, our future prospects will be incredibly bright!

Become mine now, Miss Hongxiang!

Chapter 108 What a small world!

"I'll go get a drink... You guys eat first, we can think about the important things later. What would you like to drink?"

After finishing his business, Kuroba Akira started eating by himself. Midway through, he got thirsty and went to get a drink, so he asked the two people in front of him for a drink.

"Ah, I don't need it..."

"Me too."

As a result, the two of them still weren't very interested in eating, so Kuroba Akira just said "okay" and went to get drinks without waiting for them.

Aside from smoking at work, Akira Kuroba has almost no bad habits. The only habit that could be considered unhealthy is drinking beverages instead of water.

The main problem is that if I only drink water, my mouth feels tasteless, and I always feel like something is missing.

This is a rare treat to drink freely, so we must drink to our hearts' content. The first time I met the class monitor, I didn't even have money for a drink, which made him feel terrible.

Kuroba Akira approached the self-service beverage machine, and a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Hey? Isn't this Ah Ming? What a coincidence! You're here for dinner too?"

"Uh……"

There aren't many people in this world who call Kuroba Akira that; only his two fellow transmigrators in his family, and...

Ryota Sumitomo.

Turning around, he saw Ryota Sumitomo, wearing ripped jeans and a black logo T-shirt, looking at him with a surprised expression.

I never expected to see this guy off-campus... We really are destined to meet.

However, Kuroba Akira didn't really want to meet this guy, mainly because he was an outgoing person and a very curious person.

Just as Akira Kuroba had predicted, Ryota Sumitomo immediately put his arm around Kuroba's shoulder with great interest and asked him a question.

"Amin, why are you wearing your school uniform on your day off? Just like my serious friend. You guys really like school uniforms? I really don't understand what's so great about them."

"..."

I like it, it's none of your business!

Did you come with your parents, or did you come alone?

Damn it, I'm hooked. If this keeps up, this guy will keep interrogating me endlessly.

So Akira Kuroba chose to answer the question with a question, thus steer the conversation back to him.

"And you? Who did you come with?"
