I have bound two systems.

"Did those people ask you for help privately?"

"kindness."

Chisato Suzumiya nodded honestly.

"What did they say?"

"You are an out-and-out devil, a slave owner from the old days, a whipping machine without any emotion."

"Oh?"

Suzumiya Chisato's words did not make Ichichi Hoshika angry. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction, even with a hint of pride.

"They are all nice titles, I accept them with gratitude."

Suzumiya Chisato laughed. He knew that Ichichi Hoshige would not be angry about such things, so he said it directly without any hesitation.

However, the problems with the band still need to be resolved.

Although their reactions when they first met were exaggerated, Suzumiya Chisato also knew that if Ijichi Hoshige's management standards were not too strict, they would not have reacted like that.

Therefore, we need to think of a way to reconcile the conflict between them.

Although Ijichi Hoshika's original intention was good and she wanted to make the ending band more professional, Suzumiya Chisato did not want to achieve this goal at the expense of their happiness.

"It's understandable to urge them to study and practice ensembles, but there's no need to be so strict about their outing plans and diet standards."

"Not allowing them to go out freely is for their safety. Don't forget the lesson of Yu Dai before. As for managing their diet standards, there is no other way. This is a necessary measure for the sake of health.

Those kids usually like to eat sweet things, as well as fast food like hamburgers, pizza, fried chicken, etc. It’s okay now because they are young and their metabolism is fast, so there is no harm for the time being. But if it continues like this, they will gain weight and their entire stage image will be damaged. That would be a big problem, so in order to avoid this, we have to avoid it from now on.”

"As for their future development direction, they want to be a talented music group, not idols who rely on their looks and bodies, so I don't think it's necessary. Also, during safe time periods, they can go shopping in crowded places and let them go together. There shouldn't be any problem.

I understand your intention for their benefit, Sister Xingge, but everything is excessive, so it doesn’t matter if you relax a little.”

Ijichi Hoshige sighed silently. She had also thought about what Suzumiya Chisato said.

But she was suddenly entrusted with an important task by him and was shouldering the responsibility of ending the future of the four members of the band. She did feel a lot of pressure, and was also anxious to live up to his expectations and do what she could.

This kind of mentality has led to excessive effort during this period of time.

"...Since you, the president, have said so, I will of course obey your arrangements. I will readjust the band's daily schedule later. Now, can we talk about work?"

"Well, go ahead."

"First of all, the most important thing is that I discussed it with Ms. Kudo yesterday. With the current size of our company, it is more than enough to take care of just one closing band. So we are thinking that we can definitely discover and select other artists to join. Therefore, we would like to hear your thoughts, President."

Suzumiya Chisato thought for a moment and replied,

"Let's put this matter aside for now. We don't need to mention it again in the short term. At this stage, we just need to take care of them wholeheartedly and don't need to have any other ideas."

"But if our company only has this group of artists, will it limit the future development of the company?"

"You can't bite off more than you can chew. We just need to focus on one direction. Just trust me, they will be smooth sailing in the future just like they were before the company was established. There will be no problem."

"I see. After that, there were some projects that actively sought cooperation..."

The two spent about forty minutes in the president's office discussing the end of the band's external activities for the next period of time. At the same time, Suzumiya Chisato handed over a few new songs and lyrics and music that she had simply recorded last night to Ijichi Hoshika.

After listening to this, she was shocked but gave a wry smile, and she roughly understood where Chisato Suzumiya's confidence in saying such a rejection just now came from.

Does this guy really not have any creative bottleneck?

"How long do you plan to stay today?"

"I haven't shown up here for a long time. Stay a little longer today and leave in the evening."

"Then there's nothing else to do now. Come with me to see the results of their hard work during this period of time."

"it is good."

Chapter 69: Quiet Change

Studio.

Chisato Suzumiya was wearing monitoring headphones and had a glass of iced fruit drink in front of him. However, after he came in, he just fixed his eyes on the members of the band with a very focused expression. He didn't touch the drink until halfway through the practice of an ensemble song.

Seeing him like this, Yidizhi Xingge, who was beside him, felt a little relieved and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The two of them have been in contact for such a long time, so she certainly knows what it means when Chisato Suzumiya shows such an expression.

This can be considered as her fulfilling her trust and repaying his initial trust in a relatively satisfactory way.

As expected, when the band finished playing, he clapped his hands happily, then took off his headphones and gave a heartfelt compliment to Ichichi Hoshige.

"It's not a complete transformation, but it can be called a brand new one. In such a short period of time, this is a huge improvement. How did you do it?"

"Of course it is the strict management you just advised me not to continue."

Ijichi Hoshika raised her shoulders and shook her head perfunctorily. She said to the ending band inside the microphone on the monitoring device, "Put out the instruments and take a break for ten minutes. We'll continue later." Then she looked at Suzumiya Chisato again.

"Also, the recording studio you provide is much more professional than the one I have. Being in such an environment, they will realize that they are truly on the professional path, so they will be more serious to some extent."

"No matter what, thank you for your hard work, Sister Xingge."

Suzumiya Chisato thanked her sincerely.

Ichichi Hoshige looked at him, put her left hand on her neck, and looked away unnaturally.

"It's not that hard. I'm your employee now, so it's only natural for me to do these things."

She had discovered a bad thing about this guy a long time ago... No, it can't be called a bad thing, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it was not appropriate.

When Chisato Suzumiya speaks seriously, his eyes will unconsciously stare at others. There is nothing wrong with this behavior itself, but his eyes have that kind of irresistible... feeling.

Ichichi Xingge didn't know what other people would feel when they looked at him, but she was a little embarrassed to say it out loud. She felt a slight heat in her body and a dry mouth...

At this time, the four people who had just finished the band pushed the door and walked over.

Ichichi Xingge also waved his hand, turned around and said goodbye temporarily, leaving them some time to spend together.

As she walked out of the recording studio and headed towards the president's office, other employees greeted her respectfully, and she responded with a smile.

Speaking of which, Ijichi Hoshige still finds it hard to believe that her life will undergo such a change.

An older single woman, she studied step by step when she was young, and formed a band when she was a little older. After that, her mother unfortunately passed away. She took over her mother's responsibilities, quit the band, opened a shop to make money to supplement the family income, and at the same time disciplined the little Hong Xia.

Time passed quickly, and Hongxia was in high school before she knew it, but during this period, she had almost no time to think about her own problems.

But the appearance of Chisato Suzumiya and the intimate interactions he had with Ichiri from time to time did make her slowly pay attention to a problem.

I am indeed not a child anymore, so it seems that I have to consider this issue.

She had never realized this before, and kept laughing at a high school teacher friend of hers who often went to blind date parties but was always rejected.

Looking back now, it seemed that the two of them were equally bad, and she had no right to laugh at the other one. After all, her own problems had not been solved.

"You should have a sense of urgency. Hongxia is old enough and capable of taking care of herself. Think more about yourself. You can't ruin your life for her, right?"

At a previous dinner party, the slightly tipsy Ichichi Hoshige heard the kind advice from her good friend.

At that time, she was still smiling and didn't take it seriously, but now thinking about it...what she said does make sense.

By the way, Ajing said that her friend organized a dinner party tonight, which included single men of the same age, and she also invited me to go. I haven't replied to her yet.

Want to go?

Ijichi Hoshige took out her cell phone and was considering whether to keep the appointment, but for some reason the face of Chisato Suzumiya kept appearing in her head.

"What? I don't remember being a younger person..."

After making such a half-joking complaint about himself, Yidi Chixingge clicked on the friend's profile picture and asked about the specific time of the dinner tonight.

----

In the recording room.

Suzumiya Chisato touched the head of Goto Ichiri who was sitting on her lap, and roughly explained the results of her communication with Ijichi Seika just now.

This was somewhat comforting to the four who ended the band.

Kita Ikuyo let out a long breath and stroked her plain chest.

"That's good. Qianli-kun, you really don't know how strictly Sister Xingge has been controlling us during this period. If you don't come to rescue us, I'm really worried that we won't be able to hold on."

Chisato Suzumiya smiled along,

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Studying and band practice are secondary. The main thing is that she has even deprived us of time to go shopping. Many large shopping malls have discounts in winter, and I don't even have the chance to buy some nice clothes. I saved a lot of money from the previous commercial performances, but I don't even have time to spend it."

Kita Ikuyo said this with a hint of resentment.

"Don't worry. I have already discussed this with Sister Xingge. We will give you some private time. You can use it as you like. Just be careful. After all, you are now well-known figures."

"Well, thank you Qianli-kun, oh no, it's the president... I have to get used to calling you that in the future, otherwise something might go wrong outside."

After Kita Ikuyo's problem was solved, Suzumiya Chisato looked at the other two, Ijichi Nikka and Yamada Ryo.

"So, do you have any other requests? If there's anything I haven't noticed before, I can mention it to Sister Xingge later."

Yamada Ryo raised his hand immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, President."

"Please say."

"Regarding our dietary control, can the standards be relaxed? I eat broccoli and tomatoes every day these days, and my meat intake has been greatly reduced. I don't even have the energy to play the bass."

"...I think you played it very well just now."

"Of course, the main reason is that I am getting thinner day by day."

"You look healthy, no different from before."

"Who said that? Look at my belly. I could squeeze a ball out of it before, but now it's totally impossible."

Yamada Ryo sadly rolled up his shirt, exposing his belly and trying to show it to Suzumiya Chisato.

Kita Ikuyo covered her red face, Ijichi Kouka couldn't help but stepped forward to pull down her friend's clothes, and Suzumiya Chisato coughed lightly in embarrassment and turned her eyes away.

But even though he made such an indecent move, his sharp eyes still caught the edge of her panties above her waist curve, and the conspicuous light blue bow-style tie just below her belly button.

It's a bit surprising that Yamada Ryo, who gives people a sense of a mature sister when she doesn't speak, actually wears such a pure style.

Besides that, her waist is indeed very slim.

She normally wears such loose clothes that it’s totally invisible.

"Okay, I understand. After today's practice, I'll treat you all to a meal. You can decide what you want to eat."

"Barbecue."

"If others have no objection, then yes."

"As expected of the president, so handsome."

Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs up. If Pochi-chan hadn't been there, she would even want to rush over and give the man in front of her a big hug. She had been craving this for a long time.

Finally, only Ichichi Hongxia was left.

Regarding the various arrangements within the company at this stage, her dissatisfaction was roughly the same as the previous two people. Now that the problems have been solved, she naturally has nothing to say.

Of course there is one more thing.

"President, please persuade my sister not to work so hard. She seems to have become a different person since she became our manager. She gets up very early and goes to bed very late every day. To be honest, I am a little worried."

"It would be better if you could say this yourself, Hongxia."

"I did that, but my sister always agreed and nothing changed."

"I see...what does she do when she stays up so late every day?"

"She takes online classes for agents, analyzing market trends and the direction of the industry. Comics used to be the most common items on her desk, but now there are all kinds of handwritten notes and documentary books about bands."

Considering the tremendous progress that the band had made in a short period of time, Chisato Suzumiya could roughly imagine the picture described by Kouka Ijichi.

He agreed and said that he would persuade Yidizhi Xingge not to be so nervous all the time.

What followed was a chat time just like the previous ones in the Starry Exhibition Hall. Everyone spoke freely about the interesting things that had happened to them recently. This kind of time did not last long, and before long Yidi Chixingge appeared again, patting the ground lightly and motioning everyone to take their seats.

After that, the band finished their normal ensemble practice and had lunch at the company, ordering some healthy light takeout.

Chisato Suzumiya also ate a portion, which included whole grains as a staple, as well as corn, broccoli, arugula salad, and a small amount of chicken breast and pickled salmon.

From the outside, this lunch looks quite pleasing to the eye, with good color matching, but as for the taste, it’s just barely acceptable.
