Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Hachiman felt a bit of a headache when he saw her body shape. He guessed that this guy used to be a sumo wrestler and had extremely strong individual combat capability. If a real fight broke out without using weapons, Hachiman would not be in any good situation.

"Wait a minute, you go down first, I'm not injured."

The female bodyguard hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed Mami's words and disappeared out of sight again.

Hachiman glanced at the girl, unsure of what she meant.

Nanami Asami regained her proud and complacent look and said to Hachiman: "Uncle, you should thank me. I am your bodyguard and a former sumo champion. If we really fight, you will be beaten into a pig's head."

Hachiman shrugged and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Asami thought that Hachiman was just being stubborn and ignored him, but continued, "Uncle, don't think you can convince me with just a few words."

After that, Mami revealed some of her hostility again and said, "Most men are not good people."

After that, he looked at Hachiman and said, "But uncle, you seem to be a little different. I admit that."

Hachiman stroked his hair, knowing that the values ​​formed over more than ten years since childhood could not be changed by just a few words from him, and he couldn't control that much, since he was not really her father. But it was a good deed to make her change a little.

"It's up to you. That's it for today. Bye." Hachiman said and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Nanami Asami.

"Uncle, wait a minute, actually I need your help with something. Or rather, this is the main reason why I asked you out today." Nanami Asami said.

"Are you sick? Why don't you say what's important earlier?" Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

Mami was not angry, but smiled and said, "I saw that you are easy to bully, so I wanted to bully you. I almost missed the important thing, but I didn't expect it was just fake."

Asami seemed a little disappointed. Hachiman twitched his lips and said, "Just tell me what's going on."

"It's like this, I have a class reunion tonight, and I want you to come with me," Asami said with a smile.

As a result, Hachiman stretched out his hand and hit her forehead hard, causing Mami to cover her forehead and say, "It hurts."

"Tell me the truth, if it's just a class reunion, why would you need me to attend?" Hachiman said coldly.

"Sure enough, I still can't fool you." Mami murmured to herself, and then she said again.

"Actually, it's like this. My ex-boyfriend will also show up at the class reunion."

"Uh, so you want to find a boyfriend to show off? That's so boring." Hachiman saw through Asami's purpose at a glance.

As a result, Mami said indignantly: "It's not like that, uncle, it's the other party's fault. Today, he suddenly posted a photo of himself and his current girlfriend celebrating Christmas on Twitter, and asked other classmates to invite me to attend their official announcement party. Tell me, isn't this a blatant insult to me?"

Hachiman thought about it and felt that this was indeed too much. Since they had broken up, they should just part ways amicably. But he deliberately pulled the person over to watch his current partner show affection. What was the difference between this and inviting his ex-boyfriend/girlfriend to attend his wedding?

Asami saw that Hachiman was silent and knew there was hope. She pulled her sleeve and said, "Uncle, please help me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cut that bitch's face with the broken glass."

Chapter 52: Chizuru Interview

Chizuru Mizuhara stood at the door of her house and said goodbye to her boyfriend Kazuya Kinoshita.

"Well then, Kazuya-kun, I'm going out."

Since Chizuru had an interview today, she just finished breakfast with Kazuya and was about to go out, while saying goodbye to her boyfriend.

"Yeah, I'm going to go play with Kibe and the others too." Kazuya nodded quickly.

Chizuru thought, what a child, thinking about how to kill time all day long. But she also knew that Kazuya came from a wealthy family and didn't need to worry about making a living.

"Yeah, don't quarrel." Chizuru ordered like an older sister.

Kazuya nodded, not noticing anything wrong, and continued, "Well, come early to the party tonight, since we've already made an appointment."

Qianhe felt a little helpless, thinking that the most important thing today was the interview. She sighed in her heart and said, "Okay, I'll go there as soon as the interview is over."

After getting Chizuru's promise, Kazuya smiled. Seeing his look, Chizuru couldn't help but laugh too.

After saying goodbye to Kazuya, Chizuru walked to the subway station and went to Shinjuku Station, where the company she was going to interview today was.

Shinjuku is very prosperous and crowded. When Chizuru followed the navigation on her phone, she passed the commercial street and happened to see the new winter clothes in the window. Then she looked at the winter clothes she bought two years ago, which were already half-worn.

Although she doesn't advocate extravagant fashion, every girl loves beauty. Especially when it comes to dressing up for public display, she naturally hopes to always look beautiful. But the reality is that Chizuru uses the cheapest cosmetics, and many of her clothes are bought from second-hand stores.

Fortunately, she has good taste and can match even the cheap and unfashionable styles to achieve good results.

After all, most of the money she earned was spent on her grandmother's medical expenses, and she didn't have much money left to dress herself up.

Therefore, it was a very difficult decision for Chizuru to stop being a rental girlfriend.

After all, it is her first love, so Chizuru still wants to treat it well.

Suddenly, Qianhe thought of the poor man who was abandoned by the wealthy family.

I don't know what Mr. Hikigaya is doing now, but I guess he is fighting for the custody of his daughter.

Thinking of this, Qianhe became motivated again. It is better to rely on oneself than on others. Only when one has an independent source of income will one have enough confidence.

Because of this, Chizuru has never asked Kazuya for anything in terms of money.

Chizuru encouraged herself like this, and soon arrived at a commercial building located in the center of Shinjuku. In Shinjuku, where every inch of land is valuable, it is needless to say that there is a lot of financial strength behind it to be able to build such a 30-story commercial building.

There is a logo with the words "ByteDance" written on it in the lobby of the building. Before the interview, Qianhe had investigated the background of this company for the sake of caution. She knew that it was the parent company of the most popular social software TIKTIK. Qianhe herself would usually use TIKTIK. When she saw that the interview location was in such a building, she was relieved and no longer worried about the interview with a scam company. Although she was interviewing an MCN agency under "ByteDance" today.

After she entered the building, her first impression was that it was indeed a large company. Even the lobby was so magnificent. But for some reason, in the lobby lounge, she saw five or six dark-skinned Shibuya-style hot girls sitting there playing with their cell phones to kill time. This was totally out of place with a place where only business elites in suits came in and out.

But Qianhe was just curious, after all, it was none of her business. She went to the front desk to explain her purpose, and after registering, she followed the front desk's instructions to the thirteenth floor.

After arriving at the 13th floor, I explained my purpose at the front desk: "Hello, I'm here to apply for the VTB virtual idol position."

"Excuse me, who did you make the interview appointment with?" the receptionist asked politely.

"It's a lady named Yang No." Chizuru said. In fact, she chatted with the HR lady named Yang No for an entire afternoon in her free time on Christmas Day. It was because she thought she was quite suitable that she thought of coming for an interview.

"Oh, it's an interview with the president. Please sit over there for a moment and I'll call the president." Hearing that it was Yang No's appointment, the front desk lady couldn't help but become more serious.

Chizuru was also a little surprised. She nodded, then sat on the sofa not far away. Next to her were two young and brightly dressed girls who were about the same age as Chizuru, but much more fancy. They were playing with their cell phones and didn't look like they were here for an interview.

The two girls were chatting quite loudly, and although Qianzuru didn't intentionally listen, she could hear it clearly.

"Hey, Qingzi, you know, my big brother on the list gave me another admiral reward yesterday. I made a fortune this time."

"Oh my god, you slut, you can't even sing in tune, but there are still people willing to give you tips. These otakus really think it's easy to make money."

"Don't worry about that. As long as I learn how to please those fat otakus, my monthly salary will be enough for me to buy two more bottles of magic water."

"It's much more comfortable than when I was a paid date before."

"Remember the uncle who performed with you? I worked hard for two hours, but that bastard was only willing to give me 10,000 yen, huh."

Qianzuru was a little frightened when she heard what they said. It sounded like these two girls were interviewing for the same job as she was interviewing for today? Also VTB, and it sounded like they were paid dating before?

Why does something always feel a bit unserious? Chizuru has a bad feeling.

At this moment, a pink-haired girl who looked somewhat plump and round came over and said, "Are you Miss Ichinose Chizuru?"

Ichinose is Chizuru's last name, and Mizuhara Chizuru is just the stage name she used when she was a rental girlfriend.

Now that I'm interviewing, I'll naturally use my real name.

At this moment, two girls nearby said, "Big Sister Xintiao!"

The pink-haired girl still smiled and said, "Ah, you two are off the air now, thank you for your hard work."

"No way, no way. Thanks to Big Sister Shinjo for giving me advice. I made the fat guy number one on the list so stupid that he became an admiral for me." The girl said excitedly.

"Oh, then you asked me to eat ice cream." The pink-haired girl said with a smile.

Although she was called the big sister, the pink-haired girl looked more petite and lovely than the other two girls.

"Of course, of course." The girl said quickly.

After the small talk, the pink-haired girl said to Chizuru: "Hello, my name is Shinjo Akane, you can just call me Akane. I am the person in charge of the virtual idol department. Now our vice president has a meeting to attend and can't spare the time, so let me take you to visit our department first."

Chapter 53: The President's Beloved Secretary

Qianhe looked at the girl in front of her who seemed younger than herself, and seemed a little unbelievable. In addition to the company's information, she actually investigated the share of virtual anchors in TIKTIK live broadcasts. It can be said that this year has grown rapidly and is a very promising part. Is it actually controlled by this girl in front of her?

"What's wrong, Sister Chizuru? Is it because Akane is so cute that you can't take your eyes off her?" The pink-haired girl couldn't help but smile.

Qian He, who was teased, stood up quickly, thinking that even though the other party was young, he was still a formal employee of the company and his senior, and the strict workplace atmosphere was established. If he offended his senior, it would be almost like a death sentence.

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised at how young Miss Shinjo is." Chizuru said directly.

"Hahaha, I've told you to just call me Xiao Qian. I've read your information and you're indeed older than me. And there's no need to be so nervous. After all, most of our employees here are under 30 years old, so the atmosphere is quite relaxed." Shinjo Qian said, waving her hand.

Suddenly, Qianzuru had some good feelings for the girl in front of her, and then she heard Shinjo Akane say: "You two too, since the broadcast is over, go back to the dormitory and rest early, you still have vocal training in the afternoon."

"Yes! Big sister." The two girls answered respectfully.

Chizuru looked at the two girls with some surprise. After all, in her stereotype, girls with such hot girl vibes were somewhat unruly. She didn't expect them to be so obedient.

"Then, Sister Chizuru, come with me." Akane Shinjo said with a smile.

Chizuru responded, followed closely by Shinjo Akane.

After entering and passing by the employees' office area, she felt that this was what a formal company should look like.

"This is our media placement department and planning department." Xin Tiao Qian said.

Qianzuru nodded, and then Xiaoqian said, "Sister Qianzuru, do you find it strange that there are so many young girls in our company, even girls who have participated in compensated dating."

Qianzuru opened her eyes wide in surprise, but didn't respond. Although she had doubts in her heart, she couldn't say them out loud.

Shinjo Akane smiled nonchalantly: "Actually, this is a strategy set by the president of this company, to let the girls who used to be compensated date switch to become virtual idols to make money for the company."

"President, are you going to communicate with me about Miss Haruno?" Chizuru asked with some doubt.

"Hahaha, no, uncle is wrong, the president is someone else. Although he said that these girls should make money for the company, I know he is just tsundere. He just wants to help those poor girls. He even prepared dormitories and meals for them when they didn't make money for the company. But now the business is finally profitable. Uncle, he is so cute that people want to lick him!"

Such straightforward words made Chizuru blush. Could it be that the reason why Shinjo Akane was able to become the head of the virtual idol department at such a young age was because of the pillow business?

Just as she was thinking that, she found that Xin Tiao Qian was looking at her. Her half-smile seemed to be able to see through her heart.

"Sister Chizuru, were you thinking just now that I got to this position because of my pillow business?"

Suddenly Chizuru panicked and said, "I'm not, I didn't."

Seeing Chizuru so flustered, Shinjo Akane laughed and said, "Hahaha, don't be like that, Chizuru. I am the president's mistress. I will take good care of the president in both work and life."

Qianzuru was speechless looking at this slightly weird girl. Should she say she was bold or shameless? Normally, no one would say such things to the interviewer. And she vaguely felt that this girl was a bit sinister.

"Okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Come here and let me show you what a virtual idol looks like during a live broadcast."

Chizuru looked at Shinjo Akane's slightly fanatical look and couldn't help asking, "Miss Akane, do you admire your president very much?"

Xin Tiao Qian smiled and said: "No, I love him."

Chizuru was a little surprised, but she didn't know what to say. Then she followed Akane Shinjo to the elevator on the 14th floor. Chizuru was a little surprised. Rather than an office building, it looked more like an Internet cafe.

"It looks like an Internet cafe, right?" said Xin Tiao Qian.

Does this guy know how to read minds? Chizuru complained in her heart.

"It's mainly because there are too many virtual idol anchors. So it was transformed into an Internet cafe-style live broadcast site. In fact, the 15th floor is also being expanded and renovated. If Ms. Qianzuru can pass the interview, she will probably work on the 15th floor in the future."

Then Xin Tiao Qian walked in again and opened one of the compartments. She saw a girl inside who was singing and playing MOBA, and sometimes communicating with the audience.

"Thank you, Governor of Accelerator. I will always be your little Misaka, hehe."

"Red bean paste is too expensive. It's really too expensive."

The anchor girl said.

Qianhe watched for a while, her expression becoming more and more subtle. First, she was tone-deaf and couldn't sing. Second, she couldn't play games. Then, she listened to the female anchor deliberately interacting with the audience in a cute little child's voice with a big tongue. While making witty remarks, she also heated up the atmosphere in the live broadcast room.

After a while, Akane Shinjo saw that Chizuru's expression darkened, and slowly pulled him out.

"How does it feel?" asked Xin Tiao Qian.

"It feels so difficult." Chizuru knew that she had underestimated the job of a virtual idol. She originally thought that it was just chatting with the audience, but she didn't expect that she would have to sing and play games, and even have requirements for her voice.

"Ahaha, it's like this at the beginning. As long as you take your time, you will be able to do it well. But you have to be mentally prepared. If you don't attract your own seed fans in the early stage, you will need to broadcast continuously with high intensity, which is quite hard." Xin Tiao Qian shared her experience.

Qianzuru frowned slightly and asked, "Then, how much money can a virtual idol make in a month?"

Xin Tiaoqian gave her a statistic: "The bottom anchors with less than 50,000 fans make about 40,000 to 50,000 a month, and the mid-level anchors with 200,000 fans make between 100,000 and 200,000. As for the top anchors, it's not certain. One top anchor received a million in tips on his birthday."

One million Qianzuru's eyes widened. What an attractive number! Qianzuru asked curiously, "Who is so powerful?"

Then Akane pointed at herself.

Qianzuru couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that she was originally thought to be just a mistress who had gotten close to the president, but she didn't expect that she would earn her first million at such a young age.

And I am even struggling to pay the rent for next month.
