I have bound two systems.

He called her Sister Xingge and Store Manager, and she addressed him as President and honorifics. The two of them talked about their own things and it didn't affect anything.

only……

"Sister Xingge, are you hinting at something?"

Ichichi Hoshige turned her head to one side.

"I do not have."

"Then you are smiling secretly with a smile on your face."

"Yeah, I've been so busy with work lately that I've had to take some time off to get a physical checkup."

"..."

Enough of the joking.

Ijichi Hoshige stood up and walked to the side, pouring a cup of iced coffee for herself and Suzumiya Chisato.

"It's not that I don't understand what you mean, but our company is developing very well at this stage, and the four kids who ended the band have gotten used to the current work frequency and have found a rare balance between study and work. If we make changes rashly, all of this may be disrupted. If their academic performance declines as a result, we won't be able to explain to their parents. There are so many aspects involved, and it will be difficult for us to handle it once chaos breaks out."

“Huh… that’s right…”

In fact, Ijichi Hoshige roughly understood what Suzumiya Chisato said, but only after confirming the situation from other people could he give up more directly.

Watching Suzumiya Chisato gulp down the coffee in one gulp, Ijichi Seika focused her gaze on his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and quickly retracted her gaze after the other person finished drinking.

She stirred the coffee in her hand unconsciously and said casually,

"You suddenly brought this up, is it because you are short of money recently? If you are short of money, I do have some savings here that I can lend to you first."

"kindness?"

"..."

Ijichi Hoshige drank her coffee calmly, and there was nothing superfluous on Suzumiya Chisato's face.

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head.

"I appreciate your kindness, but that's not the case."

Yidizhi Xingge didn't say anything, she knew the other party had more to say.

"Maybe it's my vanity that's playing tricks on me."

"What does this have to do with vanity?"

"my girlfriend……"

"Which girlfriend?"

"Touma Kazusa, the one who went overseas to study piano."

"Oh, I know. The last issue of International Music Weekly reported that she won a prize in a certain competition. She looked so mature in her black evening gown that she didn't look like a high school student."

"Hesa is indeed excellent."

Ijichi Hoshige didn't realize that she had a rather sour look in her eyes after Suzumiya Chisato said this.

Chisato Suzumiya, who was also missing Kazusa, did not notice this.

"So, your girlfriend, what happened to her?"

"She is very good. Her mother, Touma Yoko, is also very influential in the classical music world and has her own company, which has branches not only in Tokyo but also in Vienna, London, Paris, New York and other places."

"Oh, I think I understand. You have a sense of crisis because of your girlfriend's excellence and her family background, right?"

"Well, that should be the case..."

Chisato Suzumiya leaned on the sofa.

"…One thing I haven't mentioned is that the reason why my company was able to start up so smoothly was that Auntie Yaozi hired people to help me with a lot of the early work."

"I know this. When I first started, I had some contact with Miss Kudo."

"kindness……"

Suzumiya Chisato let out a long sigh, and seemed to have no interest in continuing the conversation.

Yidizhi Xingge looked at his distressed expression and found it inexplicably funny.

In her opinion, this was not a big deal, but the person involved was indeed troubled by it. It had been a long time since she saw such a youthful scene from the other person.

After thinking for a moment, Ichichi Hoshige said,

"In fact, if you want to speed up the development of the company, you don't necessarily have to find a way to end the band."

Suzumiya Chisato became more active, and came close to her and massaged her shoulders attentively.

"How to say?"

"Well……"

Originally Xingge wanted to refuse, but this guy's massage was too comfortable. In addition, this was a rare opportunity to get close to him in recent times. After much hesitation, she still did not refuse.

"It's a simple question. Have you ever seen an entertainment company that only signs one group of artists? We are an outlier among outliers. But no matter what business it is, it is definitely safer and more profitable to let a hundred flowers bloom than to let only one flower stand out."

Ichichi Hoshige's words couldn't be more obvious.

Suzumiya Chisato was awakened, but frowned again the next moment.

"That... I have indeed thought about it... But if we do that, we will have to distract ourselves to take care of the new recruits. Will we be short of manpower?"

Ichichi Hoshige looked at him like a fool;

"What do you think? According to our company's current revenue, we can easily double our headcount."

"Really?"

"As the president, you don't care about your company enough."

"Look at what you said. I'm just afraid that Sister Xingge will have to work harder because of this..."

"You don't need to worry about that..."

"President... Hey, it looks like you two have a good relationship."

Just as the two were chatting normally, Yamada Ryo walked in.

She saw the two of them leaning very close to each other, their big eyes slightly narrowed, and the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

"Hey, Ryo, good morning."

Chisato Suzumiya greeted her normally.

But when Ijichi Hoshika saw Yamada Ryo, she suddenly stood up, distanced herself from Suzumiya Chisato, and sat in the president's chair behind the desk.

"Okay... okay, President, since you have this intention, I will make a plan for you to review later."

Being stared at with such subtle ridicule by Yamada Ryo, even the tone of her voice changed at that moment.

"Okay, Ryo, go practice. If you have nothing else to do, go too. I'll find you when you're done."

"Oh."

Chisato Suzumiya is really humble and doesn't care at all when her employees say this to her.

Of course, the main reason might be that the one who instructed him was Ichichi Hoshige.

He and Yamada Ryo walked out of the office together and closed the door.

"What is it?"

"what?"

"The schedule you just mentioned, are there any new events we're going to attend?"

"Oh, no, it's none of your business. I'm thinking about signing some new artists or idols or something."

"I see……"

"Hey, what's that look on your face?"

"No, I just think that you are really the president."

"Aha?"

"nothing."

After leaving such an intriguing remark, Yamada Ryo pushed Suzumiya Chisato towards the company's front desk.

"On the way here, we met someone you know. When she heard us say you were in the company, she asked us to bring her along."

"My acquaintance? Who is it?"

"senior!"

Before Yamada Ryo could reply, Suzumiya Chisato already got the answer the moment the energetic greeting came.

Chapter 135 Because I Hate It

Company lounge.

Although it is only a lounge temporarily available for use by the company, it has all the necessary facilities.

When you come in, the first thing you see against the wall on your left is a large refrigerator, followed by a long table cabinet with a coffee machine, microwave oven, and various snacks and nuts on it.

A round coffee table is placed in the center, surrounded by three sofas.

In the two corners on the windowsill side, there are potted birds of paradise and rich trees respectively. There are pink things like long ties and hair ties on the green leaves. They are the masterpieces of the four people who use the lounge the most when they are free.

When receiving guests or other people who come to discuss cooperation, we usually choose to host them in the conference room.

Although this lounge is provided internally, since Ijichi Hoshika is in the company most of the time, other employees dare not come here to slack off except during lunch breaks.

So this lounge actually became, to some extent, the exclusive use of the four members of the band, and traces of their presence are dotted throughout the lounge.

Although they themselves are not aware of this.

"Senior... you are really the president..."

Isshi Caiyu came to the sofa here and sat down under the guidance of Chisato Suzumiya.

She stroked the softness of the sofa with her hand and looked around with great concern.

Chisato Suzumiya brought the coffee pot and poured her a cup.

"You already knew this."

"I only knew it in my mind before, but it certainly couldn't compare to seeing it with my own eyes."

"There are still people saying this... But it's not a big deal."

"Senior, that's what you think."

Isshiki Iroha hummed softly, raised her index finger and shook it slightly.

"I will give you a simple analogy so you can understand it, Senior."

"what?"

"Just like the boys in my class, their daily routines are either recommending the latest doujinshi with good art styles to each other, or discussing the latest special effects dramas, or discussing which video game arcade to go to after school to kill time."

Suzumiya Chisato put down the coffee pot, picked up the cup and handed it to Isshiki Iroha, who nodded in agreement.

"I have very little exposure to doujinshi so I can't comment on it, but tokusatsu dramas and arcades are definitely a man's dream, there is no doubt about that. So what type of tokusatsu drama is it, the Toei Kamen Rider series or Tsuburaya's Ultraman series?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from them that the heroine is very beautiful... No! That's not the point! The point is that you, senior, are simply too advanced compared to your peers."

"Oh, yes."

Suzumiya Chisato picked up her cup and took a sip. She acted quite calmly towards Isshiki Iroha's compliments and didn't take the other party's compliments, whether intentional or unintentional, to heart at all.

A colorful feather puffed up its cheeks and looked unhappy.

"Tsk~ Senior, you are so boring. Your reaction is just like your personal ability, far beyond your current age. Sometimes when I talk to you, I feel like I am talking to an old man."

Chisato Suzumiya was a little happy.

“This is the first time I’ve heard such an evaluation.”

"Senior, where are they?"

Refers to the four people who just brought her into the company to end the band.

"Of course I went to the studio to practice."
