Problem Girls Strategy

Hong Xia: "Yes, the album will be officially released in a few days. I'm so nervous."

Liang: "Why should you be nervous? Our band isn't very famous right now, so don't have too many fantasies."

Kita: “So we have to keep working hard to increase our fame!”

Yili: "Where is the purchase link? I'll buy a few copies so that the sales volume doesn't look so bad..."

Jiang Zao: "Pochi-chan, don't do that weird thing. Your main task now is to improve your performance. You don't have to worry about publicity and album sales. Paying too much attention to such things is putting the cart before the horse."

Ichiri: "Oh, okay, but I want to collect our first album..."

Jiang Zao: "I will give each of you a copy when it's done. Hongxia, I will also give you the copies for the store manager and the sound engineer."

Hong Xia: "My sister said no, she will buy it herself."

Jiang Zao: "These are collector's edition albums for you. They are not for sale to the public. I'll keep them with you for now."

Hong Xia: "Yes, thank you."

Jiang Zao: "Liang, you haven't said anything for so long, are you planning to put the collector's edition on the sales website based on the album sales?"

Ryo: "No, that would be stupid, I was just thinking about buying the regular album and making a signed copy."

Hong Xia: "That won't work, you money-grubber!"

Jiang Zao: "I'll wait until I get to the company. The surprise we mentioned earlier has already been discussed."

Kita: “Wow, I’m really looking forward to it.”

When Jiang Zao rushed to the second floor of the company, they had finished recording the album and were taking a break.

Jiang Zao skillfully caught Goto Ichiri who was throwing herself into his arms and acting coquettishly, and held her and sat down, while placing four documents on the table.

"You have to take this consent form back to your parents for their signatures."

"What consent form?"

"Consent regarding Antarctic travel plans."

"Eh?! Are we going to Antarctica?" Hong Xia never thought that the mysterious place Jiang Zao had mentioned before was actually Antarctica. She picked up the consent form and looked through it.

"Well, I'll go with the scientific expedition team in December and stay there for about three months." Jiang Zao held up Goto Ichiri's delicate and smooth face and rubbed it with both hands: "I'll shoot a promotional MV while I'm there, and maybe I can even work with a singer."

"Wouldn't it be a bit too long to stay here?"

"Don't worry, we'll find someone to teach you there, so you don't have to worry about your grades getting worse when you return."

"No...that's not what I meant." Hong Xia waved her hands at Jiang Zao.

In Hong Xia's previous life plan, if she could get into a music university, she would go there to improve her drum skills and look for band members at the same time. But now the band has been formed and even has its own record company. It is not impossible for her to enter the society as a band member directly after graduating from high school.

Liang's parents did not have too many requirements for her further studies. They just let her do whatever she wanted as usual. If she could get into the university of her choice, she could go there. If she failed or chose to work after graduating from high school, it was also fine. The worst case scenario was that she could come back and inherit the family business.

Getting admitted to the University of Tokyo was once Liang's goal, but this goal began to become less important as the band developed.

"The company will communicate with the school, so you can rest assured. Besides, it is good for the school's reputation to have students participate in Antarctic scientific research. It is easy to handle."

Compared to the other three people who kept asking Jiang Zao questions like curious babies, Kita Ikuyo seemed much quieter. Her parents did not support her playing in a band, and hoped that she could focus on her studies and aim to become a civil servant. Perhaps the most difficult part of this trip to Antarctica was getting her parents to sign the consent form.

Hongxia noticed that Kita Ikuyo was in a low mood, and asked her with concern: "Kita, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in good spirits?"

"Ah, no, I just feel a little surprised." Kita Ikuyo put on her usual cheerful smile, and she secretly swore in her heart that she must get her parents to agree to this trip to Antarctica.

"Will the scientific expedition team allow us to bring musical instruments when we shoot the music video in Antarctica..." Liang was already thinking about what to do in Antarctica.

Jiang Zao thought that now was the time to reveal a little bit about Synapse technology to them so that they wouldn't have to think too much. He opened the storage space of his personal terminal and took out a maid outfit.

When the girls saw Jiang Zao taking out a maid costume out of thin air, they thought he was performing magic and surrounded him to check where the magic mechanism was.

"Strange, I can't see a mechanism anywhere that can hold such a large piece of clothing."

"Could it be that... the mechanism is placed on Pochi-chan's body?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them cast their eyes on Goto Ichiri as if they wanted to strip her naked. She was so scared that she trembled all over and squeezed into Jiang Zao's arms, weakly defending herself: "That... I don't have any magic mechanism on my body."

Nijika and Kita Ikuyo have seen how Goto Ichiri's huge breasts, which made them envious and jealous, were hidden under her pink sportswear. They still can't figure out what kind of magic can disguise such magnificent mountains as a flat airport.

Could it be that Jiang Zao's magic trick uses the same principle?

Seeing that Hong Xia and Kita Ikuyo were showing signs of turning into female perverts who forcibly stripped people's clothes, Jiang Zao quickly protected the trembling Goto Ichiri and explained to them: "This is not magic, this is space storage technology."

"Wow, a name that only appears in science fiction movies has appeared."

Seeing that they still didn't believe it, Jiang Zao had no choice but to take out the guitar that he had used to save the day at the last cultural festival from the storage space. No matter what, it was absolutely impossible to hide an item of this size in clothes.

"No way..."

"this..."

"Is this really space storage technology?"

The three of them looked so adorable with their eyes wide open and faces full of shock, except Goto Ichiri who was still nestled in Jiang Zao's arms, confused about the situation.

Jiang Zao put the guitar aside and said with a smile: "Now you should believe me, after all, Synapse is a technology company. How can it be without some shocking technology?"

“This is beyond shocking.”

"Don't worry about these small details. Future technology will only be beyond your imagination. I am just giving you a heads-up. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Hongxia and the others all shook their heads. This technology, which was far beyond their cognition, had completely taken over their brains. It would take them some time to digest this matter.

Goto Ichiri got up from Jiang Zao's arms in confusion, tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve and asked him, "Jiang Zao, what did you just do?"

"I didn't do anything, I just took something out."

Chapter 162 Family Conflict

After delivering high-tech shock to the girls who had just finished their band performance, Jiang Zao rushed back to the rental house to find Gabriel. To be honest, he couldn't guarantee 100% that Gabriel and the others would be able to travel to Antarctica together. Who knew if there would be any strange restrictions in the heaven and the demon world.

Because they had been notified in advance on the phone, when Jiang Zao arrived at Gabriel's house, everyone was already there. Only Gabriel had a resentful look on her face. When she saw him walk into the room, she kicked him without saying a word.

"You actually took over the angels' game time and asked them to gather at my house. I will punish you!"

Jiang Zao nimbly dodged the flying kick and, ignoring the resentful looks behind him, greeted the other three people: "Vinate, Satania, Raphael, you guys came pretty fast."

"Didn't you say there was something fun going on and asked us to come over quickly?" Satania had just finished the pineapple bread in her hand. Seeing that she was still in her school uniform, she probably came here directly after receiving the news.

"I promise I won't let you down."

Jiang Zao told them about the trip to Antarctica. When Gabriel heard that she could be away from school for three months, she almost sang hymns to praise him. Unfortunately, Raphael poured cold water on her.

"Xiao Jia, if we want to apply to the heaven for this kind of thing, it's hard to say whether it will be approved."

Gabriel suddenly became depressed: "It's really troublesome. I need to apply for this and that. Why didn't you submit an application to me and ask if I agree when reducing my living expenses?"

Vinate raised her hand in confusion: "Well, we also need to apply to the demon world."

Gabriel felt much better because she was unlucky and so were others. However, she still held on to a glimmer of hope and said to Raphael, "Raphael, let's submit the application and try. What if the heaven agrees?"

"Since Xiaojia said so..." Raphael borrowed paper and pen from Jiang Zao to write two applications, and then submitted the applications using divine power. After a while, two stamped applications floated in front of him in the soft holy light.

Raphael covered her mouth with her hands and said in surprise, "No way, I passed?"

Gabriel didn't bother to think about why she was accepted. As long as she could participate in the Antarctic trip, she excitedly put away the application form, took out her pink suitcase and started stuffing clothes into it.

Seeing that their application was approved, Satania urged Vinate to submit an application to the demon world. As expected, their application was also approved.

Could it be that Jiang Zao has connections in both the heaven and the demon world?

Raphael was well aware of how low the success rate of applying to participate in a trip that was not formally organized by the school was. Not only did the Heaven Realm agree to their participation in the trip, the Demon Realm also allowed Vinate and the others to participate. It was hard not to suspect that Jiang Zao was a person with connections.

"Originally we needed your parents' consent, but since both the Heaven Realm and the Demon Realm have already agreed, it doesn't matter whether you sign it or not." Jiang Zao grabbed Gabriel's collar as she was still stuffing things into the suitcase: "Gabriel, we're not leaving until December, there's no point in you packing now."

"What, aren't we leaving now?"

"I can see that you don't want to stay in school. I regret to inform you that it is not time to leave yet."

"Tsk, got it, let me go, if you're done, go back quickly, I want to play games."

Faced with Gabriel's order to leave, the other three went home quickly. Only Jiang Zao was still standing leisurely in the room. Gabriel had a bad feeling just by looking at him.

"Miss Maid, the master has returned after a long absence. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your duties?"

Sure enough...this guy just doesn't want me to play the game properly.

Gabriel was so angry that her teeth itched but she could do nothing. She could only follow Jiang Zao to his house, put on a maid outfit, and serve tea and water.

.....

"Yuyo, we can't sign this consent form." Kita's father pushed the consent form back to Kita Yuyo with a serious expression.

Kita's mother persuaded her earnestly, "Allowing you to join that band is already the greatest concession we have made. Now you have to leave school for three months. What will happen to your grades? There is no future in playing in a band. It is better to study hard and pass the civil service exam to have a stable job."

"But, there will be people teaching us over there!"

Kita's father sternly rebuked his daughter's naive idea: "How could there be people in the Antarctic expedition team who are more professional than school teachers? Don't let a momentary impulse affect the development of your entire life."

"We are doing this for your own good. Why don't you understand?" Kita's mother frowned. How could her daughter, who had always been very well-behaved, suddenly become so stubborn? "Since you joined the band, you have changed completely. If you continue to be like this, I will have no choice but to ask you to quit the band."

"Indeed, maybe this is the only way to get you back on track." Kita's father nodded in agreement.

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head and looked at the consent form in front of her, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes. Her parents have always been like this, only wanting her to become what they expected her to be, without considering her feelings at all.

Seeing his daughter remained silent, Xiduo's father chose to end the topic. He stood up and made the final decision: "Tomorrow, I will go to your school and find that Jiang Zao and tell him that you want to quit the band. It's really nonsense. You dragged my daughter to travel to Antarctica without caring about her future. Humph!"

"Jiang Zao is not the kind of person you said he was!" Kita Ikuyo stood up suddenly and loudly refuted his father: "He values ​​our future more than anyone else. He has always supported us silently behind the scenes and even established a record company for us in advance. Dad, you are the one who knows nothing!"

"Ikuyo! How dare you talk to me like that!?"

"I'm right again!"

Xiduo's father laughed angrily: "What kind of magic potion did Jiang Zao give you? It seems that I have to talk to his class teacher first."

"Dad, you are simply unreasonable!" The resentment that Kita Ikuyo had accumulated for a long time due to not being understood by her parents exploded in her heart at this moment like a lit barrel of explosives. She said this, turned around and rushed out of the house, with crystal tears flowing from the corners of her eyes flying in the air.

A drizzle began to fall from the dark sky. Kita Ikuyo walked on the street in a daze, letting the rain soak her. She didn't know what the point of rushing out in anger was, nor did she know how to face tomorrow.

Jiang Zao, who was enjoying the shoulder massage service from her maid at home, received a call from Nymph.

"Master, Kita Ikuyo ran out of the house in the rain."

"I see. Send me her location."

Chapter 163: Rainy Day, Take JK to the Hotel

Jiang Zao knew that Kita Ikuyo's parents did not support her playing in a band, so he specifically asked Nymph to pay attention to her movements today. However, he did not expect that Kita Ikuyo would actually run away from home.

"Gabriel, I'm going to go out for a while, you go back."

"Oh!? Can I go home from get off work?" Gabriel's brows were immediately delighted, and she hammered Jiang Zao's shoulders with more force.

"Get off work now, you lazy maid."

Gabriel lightly punched Jiang Zao unconvincedly: "I am an angel serving as your maid, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Jiang Zao said hypocritically: "Ah, I am so happy."

Then he took his umbrella and went out. His anxious look made Gabriel feel suspicious.

This guy, is he going out for some girl again?

Based on the real-time positioning provided by Nymph, Jiang Zao quickly found Kita Ikuyo, who was soaking wet and walking aimlessly in the rain. He hurried over and held the umbrella over her head.

"Kita, it's not a good idea to go out for a walk on a rainy day."

"Jiang Zao?" The familiar voice made Kita Ikuyo raise her head. Her red hair soaked by the rain stuck to her forehead. Drops of water that she couldn't tell whether they were rain or tears kept dripping from her face. She blinked her lifeless eyes, then lowered her head, not daring to face Jiang Zao.

"what happened?"

"Nothing..." Kita Ikuyo didn't want him to know what was going on at home, nor did she want him to continue seeing her embarrassed look: "I... I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Just as Kita Ikuyo took a step, a big warm hand pressed on her shoulder to stop her from leaving.

"Where are you going?"

Kita Ikuyo opened her mouth silently but couldn't say any destination. She didn't know where she could go next. Jiang Zao's hand on her shoulder made her realize how cold her body and heart were.

"Come on, I'll take you home."
