I have bound two systems.

On the afternoon of December 24th, after releasing most of the new songs through the band's official account and synchronizing them on major music platforms, Chisato Suzumiya brought all the company's employees to a restaurant for a Christmas dinner.

During the dinner, when Kita Iku walked over in a trance and trembling manner, he pulled Suzumiya Chisato's sleeve and motioned him to look at his mobile phone screen.

Suzumiya Chisato was also in a trance for a moment.

Less than two hours after the new song was released, the total number of comments and reposts under the official account exceeded 100,000, and it even soared up the international music charts, ushering in a dream start that exploded as soon as it was released.

While in a trance, Suzumiya Chisato borrowed Kita Ikuyo's phone and pulled Ichichi Hoshika aside, handed it to her, and asked with some confusion,

"The publicity is ahead of schedule?"

Now that you have established your own company and gone from amateur to professional, you must keep up with the industry standards in everything you do.

This also ended the release of the new song by Team Yu. As the boss behind the scenes, he must have prepared the funds in advance and planned to buy popularity and related topics for them on major traffic platforms at the right time.

However, he clearly remembered that the publicity plan he had ordered before was to officially start from tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be a bit unnatural for the new song to become a hot topic as soon as it was released.

It was the first time for Chisato Suzumiya to do such a thing, so she was somewhat hesitant.

But after reading the content on the phone and listening to Suzumiya Chisato's questions, Ichichi Hoshige slowly raised her head, suppressed her excitement and spoke slowly,

"How could it be earlier? You told me again and again that I had to start tomorrow. How could I start it earlier without telling you?"

Suzumiya Chisato was silent for a while, pacing back and forth, and finally took back her phone and stared at the news page.

"So... this is a spontaneous result of netizens and fans without any external intervention."

Ichichi Hoshige nodded slowly.

"It seems so..."

"Sister Xingge."

"kindness?"

"According to the current situation, the promise I made to you before may not be fulfilled in the short term."

He meant giving her a holiday to rest.

Yijichi Xingge didn't care about it at all. Instead, she was surprised to see that the newly released song was so popular, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although she never showed it during her time at the Fanxing Entertainment Company, Chisato Suzumiya's trust and empowerment did put a lot of pressure on her. She was worried that she didn't have the ability to lead the band well and that she wouldn't be able to meet their expectations.

Two days before the official release of the new song, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep properly and had to rely on alcohol.

But now, the clouds have dispersed and the hard work has paid off. I can finally put my mind at ease.

"Haha, the overtime pay must be sufficient."

Ichichi Hoshige clenched her fist and gently touched Chisato Suzumiya's chest.

"Don't worry, it's not just overtime pay and bonuses. I will reward you well after this busy period."

Chisato Suzumiya did not respond with the same encouraging gesture as Ichichi Hoshige, but instead extended her hand towards the woman's chest. Even if the relationship between the two was good, it was somewhat inappropriate.

So he just clenched his fist and bumped it with Ichichi Hoshige's.

"So, will the purchases continue tomorrow?"

"The momentum from the start is so strong that we must continue. Not only must we continue, but we may even have to intensify it depending on the situation."

This is most likely the critical moment that ends the band's influence, and Chisato Suzumiya will not let it go.

Ichichi Hoshige nodded to show that she understood.

"But don't think too much about it for now. Let's go back to the company after we have eaten and drunk our fill and discuss it later."

"Well, you go back first, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Sister Xingge!"

"?"

Ijichi Hoshige turned around and looked at Suzumiya Chisato who called her in confusion.

The other party smiled and said,

"Thank you for taking this time."

"...!"

Ichichi Hoshige's cheeks turned red for a moment.

She didn't expect that Suzumiya Chisato would suddenly say this with such a gentle expression.

My heart was pounding and my whole body was tingling as if a weak electric current was flowing through it.

She waved casually in response and turned away.

She didn't even dare to reply, for fear that the other party would notice her little thoughts.

At this point, she was able to confirm the specific source of the throbbing in her heart.

But she still couldn't accept this fact, so she subconsciously didn't want to think about it or face it.

It just so happened that during the following period, due to the popularity of the band's new song, she accumulated a lot of work, which was what she wanted, so she was able to put this matter behind her temporarily.

Time flies when you devote yourself to work.

The four members who ended the band were not used to the work that came with their sudden popularity, such as being interviewed by reporters, appearing on TV, live streaming on the Internet and interacting with fans.

However, as time went by, they gradually became proficient from being unfamiliar at the beginning.

As the band leader, Ijichi Nijika, and lead singer Kita Ikuyo are undoubtedly the core figures of the band in public occasions. With their extroverted and cheerful personalities, they can take care of themselves to gain further love from fans, while also taking good care of the socially anxious Goto Ichiri, and often making up for the jumpy Yamada Ryo.

Therefore, as their public appearances increased in number and frequency, the fan community had a deeper understanding of the four members of the band, and more and more people began to add the suffix "Mom" after their names when cheering for Hongxia and Yudai.

At an open-air concert after New Year's Day, the band finished their performance on the stage, and the fans in the audience, whose average age was obviously older than them, shouted "Mom" at the top of their lungs in the cold weather. Hongxia and Yudai on the stage blushed with embarrassment, and were so embarrassed that they didn't know how to respond. This cute performance was filmed and edited by a thoughtful president and posted on the Internet, and the related topic once again topped the hot list.

Chisato Suzumiya feels that she really has a talent for publicity and marketing.

Ijichi Hinikaka, who witnessed what he did, also had mixed feelings.

However, she agreed that the expression on her sister's face when fans called her "mom" was indeed quite interesting.

Anyway, the fans have no ill intentions, so just let it be.

The popularity of the song boosted the band's fame, and as a result many companies approached them for collaboration.

In addition to other revenue sources such as song copyrights and CD sales, this is it.

Let’s not talk about the fees for magazine interviews and appearances on various TV shows, because the remuneration is indeed not much.

The main source of income is still advertising and endorsements.

Artists with a certain degree of fame in the industry can receive considerable remuneration for advertising endorsements.

Top stars in the Japanese industry, such as Ms. Nagasawa and Ms. Matsushima, have signed long-term contracts with famous domestic Japanese companies. As corporate agents, they only need to shoot some new promotional advertisements at regular times and locations every year to earn nearly 100 million yen.

It is extremely simple and crude to be able to easily earn so much money by just maintaining your daily activities.

As a band that has just become popular, the value of the End Band in the eyes of capitalists is certainly not as high as those of veteran artists, but because of its popularity, the advertising fees given to it will naturally not be low.

Chisato Suzumiya and Seige Ijichi screened the companies that actively sought cooperation.

Finally, three companies were selected to cooperate with them.

They are Jihe Garment, which focuses on youthful and beautiful girl-style clothing, A-Earphone, a manufacturer specializing in mid-to-high-end headphones, and Xuefeng Club, which specializes in outdoor camping supplies.

The first two endorsements, whether it is girls' clothing or music-related headphones, are perfectly in line with the image that the band presents to the outside world.

The last one has nothing to do with it, and the main reason why Chisato Suzumiya chose to cooperate with him was simply because he gave too much.

The endorsement fee of 30 million a year exceeds the total of what the two companies gave before.

Now, Suzumiya Chisato is not alone. There are so many people waiting for a meal to run the company. Even if he takes them into consideration, he has to become more profit-oriented.

The happy busy life continues.

The four members who ended the band were extremely tired because of the non-stop work, but they knew that all this was a step towards a better future and had no complaints.

As for the fact that they often stayed out all night for several days in a row during this period, because Chisato Suzumiya visited them one by one in advance with New Year gifts to explain, their parents also expressed their understanding and support.

Yili's parents were particularly enthusiastic and insisted on having him stay at home for dinner.

During the meal, Goto Jiri insisted on sitting on his lap to eat, and Ichiri's mother was too friendly and kept putting food into Suzumiya Chisato's bowl. His eating speed could not keep up with Ichiri's mother's feeding speed, and the bowls in his hands once piled up into a small mountain.

After seeing the footage of Goto Ichiri on TV, Ichiri's father ran back to his room in tears just like last time.

All in all, it's a pretty lively family.

In comparison, Yudai's parents were obviously much more reserved. They just asked him to take good care of Yudai, saying that they had caused him trouble or something like that.

As for Yamada Ryo... Suzumiya Chisato only saw her mother. This lady, who was almost the same as Yamada Ryo and exuded an elusive aura, very unbelievably stuffed a small gift box into Suzumiya Chisato's hands when she was leaving.

Suzumiya Chisato couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

After saying goodbye, he opened the gift box and found a standard 100-gram gold bar inside.

What does it mean?

He was puzzled.

When he took the gold bar to ask Yamada Ryo, the answer he got was just "Mom gave it to you, just keep it."

Judging from the decoration and area of Yamada Ryo's house, its wealth far exceeds that of Ichiri and Ikushiro's family. In addition, since Ryo herself said so, Suzumiya Chisato could only regard it as Mrs. Yamada's kindness and accept it.

Then, the time came to January 9th.

The popularity of the band continues to rise due to the release of new songs and the financial support paved by Chisato Suzumiya behind the scenes. After nearly half a month of busy life, they finally had the long-awaited vacation.

In fact, they still have a lot of work to do, but if they are not allowed to rest, the winter vacation will be over soon.

Therefore, after discussing with Ijichi Hoshika, Chisato Suzumiya postponed their work and squeezed out five days to go to Sapporo for a public training camp before the school officially started.

Not only can you go skiing at the snow resort, but there are also open-air hot springs and outdoor barbecues, which are perfect arrangements for relaxing your body and mind.

We will officially set off early tomorrow morning. In addition to the four people who will finish the band, Ijichi Hoshika will also go with us.

She had not originally planned to do so, but she could not resist her sister's constant nagging and was persuaded by her and reluctantly agreed.

However, although the reaction shown on her face was somewhat reluctant, when it came to her true thoughts, how much of it was just an act, only she herself knew.

Because we will officially set off tomorrow, today's work ends early.

After urging the four members of the band to finish shooting the promotional posters for the next concert in Ueno Park, he announced the disbandment on the spot and asked them to go back and pack their travel supplies and have a good rest.

He himself returned home two hours later.

The house is cold and deserted.

Because he was too busy with work recently, he often didn't come back for several days in a row. Instead, he chose to stay in a hotel close to his workplace. Therefore, Kasumigaoka didn't stay with him all the time, and she also took Dark Wing to her home to take care of him.

In fact, according to the intelligence level of the Black Wing, nothing should happen even if it is left alone, but Suzumiya Chisato is of course very grateful that she has this intention.

He hadn’t slept well these past few days, so when he got home, he jumped into bed and took a nap.

He originally just wanted to take a nap for about an hour, but when he opened his eyes, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

Some mistakes...

After stuffing the spare clothes and daily necessities needed for the next few days into the travel bag, Chisato Suzumiya dialed Eriri's number while taking a bath.

Surprisingly, Kasumigaoka Utaha was with her at the moment.

"Is the relationship between you two getting better and better?"

After some small talk and reporting on her plans for the next few days, Suzumiya Chisato started to make a casual joke.

Kasumigaoka Utaha made a serious correction,

"Don't get me wrong, the reason I'm on her side is simply because of our work relationship."

After explaining, she asked again,

"You're home now?"

"kindness."

"Wash yourself and wait, I'll be there soon."

"..."

This is quite aggressive, and to be honest it's pretty cool.

but……
