Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

"So, Ms. Imai, what do you want to talk to me about?"

It just sounded familiar, and if she really tried to recall it, she would definitely have no idea, so Toyokawa Shoko simply made it clear.

"Well, let me make it short. Ms. Toyokawa used to have a band called crychic, right?"

As a result, the other party's first sentence almost broke her defense, and the expression on her face instantly became solemn.

Everyone has a past that they don't want to talk about, and crychic is undoubtedly the thing that Shoko Toyokawa wants to hide the most.

"Yes, but I have quit crychic now."

Toyokawa Shoko frowned and spoke in a cold tone, completely different from her initial attitude.

"None of this matters, because I came to you today to discuss the liquidated damages."

There was still a business voice on the other end of the phone, as if she was calling someone at a customer service company.

But the more relaxed the other person spoke, the more pressure Toyokawa Shoko felt.

"Liquidated damages?!"

Just like now, when she heard the word "penalty for breach of contract", she almost jumped up from the bench.

Huh? Liquidated damages?

When did she have to bear the penalty for breach of contract?

Just as Shoko Toyokawa was trying to recall what had happened, Imai on the other end of the phone gave a direct explanation.

"Yes, your band signed two contracts for commercial performances a year ago, but ultimately didn't show up for some reason. I believe you should be aware of this."

""

After hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned for a moment. When the other party said this, she remembered everything. Indeed, it was the summer a year ago that she and Asaba Ichinose signed the two commercial performance contracts at each other's agency. However, she did not pay attention to it when signing the agreement, but gave it to Asaba Ichinose to be responsible for it. Therefore, she was not very clear about some details.

But not being clear does not mean lack of common sense. Once you sign a contract, you must abide by the above agreements, otherwise you will face lawsuits or penalties for breach of contract.

She admitted this, but the only thing that puzzled her was why the call came a year after she breached the contract, instead of at that time?

A year ago, she was delayed by various trivial matters in life, and no one mentioned this matter, so she naturally forgot about it, but...it couldn't be that the other party had forgotten it too, right?

This is obviously an impossible thing, there must be some hidden story behind it.

Could it be that the Fengchuan Group was behind this and stopped it for her?

Otherwise, who would have the ability or the time to take care of her affairs?

After thinking about this, Shoko Toyokawa's mood became extremely complicated and her face became increasingly ugly.

Because...she doesn't need the pity from Toyokawa Group.

"Excuse me, what is the amount of compensation I need to pay?"

Shoko Toyokawa said this almost through gritted teeth.

"The total amount of liquidated damages and compensation crychic needs to pay is 53 million yen."

This time, Shoko Toyokawa experienced what it means to say the cruelest words in the most relaxed tone.

"Fifty...three million yen?"

Toyokawa Shoko's breathing stagnated, as if the whole world had lost its color, and the only sounds in her ears were the chirping of insects and noises around her.

The phone almost slipped from her hand, but luckily she reacted in time and caught it with her skirt, otherwise her already difficult living conditions would have been even worse.

But now it seems that none of this matters.

The price of a mobile phone is nothing compared to the 53 million debt.

""

Her eyes gradually became moist, and Shoko Toyokawa had never felt so wronged.

The debt of 53 million yen is more valuable than her life.

Now, her alcoholic father has been defrauded of 168 billion yen, and she, as his daughter, has finally been burdened with a debt of 53 million yen today.

Father and daughter joined forces to fight, and no one was left behind.

Is being in debt the fate of the Toyokawa family?

A tear slid down my face and onto my lips, it tasted salty.

"Well, don't worry, Ms. Toyokawa, because you only need to pay another 300,000 yen to the 53 million yen."

But no one knows whether the gods heard her prayers, but in any case, a miracle happened.

When this voice symbolizing hope came on the phone, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't even believe what she heard.

"Eh?"

Shoko Toyokawa wiped the tears from her face.

Fifty-three million yen directly becomes three hundred thousand yen?

The probability of winning the lottery is not even this high.

Or is the other party joking with her?

"Don't you know, Miss Toyokawa?"

At the same time, Imai on the other end of the phone was still confused.

Why is this little girl crying? Didn't you ask me to tell you how much debt I need to pay back in total?

Besides, I'm talking about the money owed by the band crychic, not an individual, so you should at least listen to what they say.

Today's young people.

"what do you know?"

Shoko Toyokawa was still crying, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

What should she know? She didn't even know the penalty and compensation were 53 million.

"Most of crychic's liquidated damages and compensation have already been paid by the boy named Ichinose Asaba. The remaining members only need to pay another 300,000 yen each."

"I thought you knew about this in advance, Ms. Toyokawa. After all, the repayment period for liquidated damages and compensation is one year, and it was the boy who specifically asked us to extend the time."

On the phone, Imai Nobuchi sighed. She still remembered the boy's look when he negotiated with them in the conference room.

Not to mention being servile, he was also very humble, repeatedly apologizing to the organizers and them. In the end, he took out so much money by himself and almost paid off all the fines on the spot.

After all, six people's names were written on the contract when it was first signed, so naturally everyone must be present at the commercial performance and no one can be missing.

Everything is done according to the rules, and even they can't do anything about it.

But out of humanitarian considerations, the agency and the organizer finally agreed to the boy's request and extended the payment period for everyone by one year.

Especially the person she was talking to, Shoko Toyokawa, the boy named Ichinose Asaba said these words.

The keyboard player of our band hasn't been seen much lately. He must be having some difficulties in life.

Otherwise, she would definitely come on the day of the commercial performance. Please don't blame her too much. If possible, I think the penalty for breach of contract can be postponed to next year for her to pay, or when we find her later, we will personally apologize to her.

It now seems unlikely that he will be able to make a visit and apologize.

After all, she also paid attention to the band crychic after that, but it disbanded very quickly and suddenly.

That's why she fulfilled the agreement and only asked Toyokawa Shoko for the penalty a year later.

Three hundred thousand yen, it shouldn't be impossible to pay, right?

After all, the other four girls didn't delay for even a single day.

"I... don't know about this."

Of course, Shoko Toyokawa could hand it over. Although 300,000 yen was a considerable sum for her, she would be able to hand it over as soon as her salary was paid this month.

The only consequence of doing so is that she will have to save some money on food this month.

"Also...what is the original cost that each person needs to bear?"

Paying the penalty for breach of contract is secondary. The most important thing is that she still cares about what Imai Nobutomo said, that Asaba Ichinose pays off most of the penalty for breach of contract and compensation.

This is what she wants to figure out most now.

"About 8.83 million yen."

Imai answered immediately when he knew it.

This amount is not something that even an average middle-class family can afford, let alone an average high school student.

Not only did Asaba Ichinose take it out, he also took out six portions for himself, including himself.

To be honest, they were really scared at first.

As a result, what is left for others is not even a fraction.

In addition, she only told this matter to Toyokawa Shoko.

The purpose of doing this might be that she was speaking up for the boy. After all, the band disbanded right after the money was paid. If she didn't say it, this matter would probably never be known to others.

The most classic, the protector and the protected.

"Did he hand it in all by himself?"

More than 8 million per person, which means that because of her alone, Ichinose Asaba paid out more than 50 million, and the rest of the people also owed 300,000 in debt each.

Just 300,000 yuan alone can make her breathless, not to mention more than 50 million yuan.

Maybe she had no idea about these things before, but now... she has a deep understanding of them.

Shoko Toyokawa gritted her teeth, and the image of Asaba Ichinose chasing her on the night the band disbanded emerged in her mind.

Let me carry your life.

Now thinking about it, she was so ridiculous when she said that.

As hysterical as Ichinose Asaba was that night, she is as miserable now.

Everything is just a boomerang that will eventually hit you.

"That's right. Even during the apology negotiations, that boy came alone."

Nobutomo Imai repeated it one last time and then returned to the main topic.

"So, Ms. Toyokawa, your penalty is..."

She had said everything she needed to say, and whether the other party could understand it was no longer her business.

"At the end of this month, around the 28th, I will repay all the liquidated damages."

When she said this, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have lost all her strength, and she sat on the bench like a soulless body.

She stared at the bus that had arrived at its destination, but her body showed no reaction, like a puppet with its strings cut.

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

She didn't even hear the call being hung up.

All this is not because of money, but because... After this incident, she reflected on it and felt that she really owed crychic a lot.

Especially for Ichinose Asaba, she now doesn't even dare to recall what happened that night a year ago.

So...what should she do now?

ps: The bus card I bought for the GO group has arrived, hehe.

Chapter 92: Introducing Xiaoxiang to Qianyu? (4200 more during the day!)

Shoko Toyokawa left and boarded the bus with a heavy heart. She didn't know whether today's work would go smoothly, but she thought things shouldn't get any worse.

In the recording studio, the recording of the two songs "Sixth Sense" and "That Girl's Journey" went very smoothly. Although it was only the preliminary debugging and no other instruments were added to the ensemble, it could be called perfect.

Especially the singing and playing of Triangle Chuhua is really eye-catching.

Her personal style is quite strong, not to mention her stage presence, so much so that after listening to her singing and playing, everyone agreed that this song was designed specifically for Triangle Chuhua.

In a sense, with the current strength of Sanjiao Chuhua, it is completely capable of flying solo.

Of course, this is just talk.

The only one left is Junda Mana, but how should I describe this?

As perfect as ever, there is no flaw or fault to be found, and any gorgeous words used would not seem out of place considering the level of his singing.

And this is just the level of performance of the two of them when playing individually. When they came to the chorus of another song, [Light up the Fireworks], the tacit understanding and cooperation shown by the two further ignited the recording studio. The emotions conveyed from the song seemed to have brought the summer fireworks festival here in advance.
