The moment his name was called, Xiangzi was stunned at first, and then his amber color suddenly shrank.
She took a few steps back with the shopping bag in hand, then stood sideways, staring at Lin Yi warily and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
"I just recognized you on the street." Lin Yi pointed to a house in the distance and said in a relaxed tone: "My home is over there. I have lived there since I was a child. But you, Crychic's keyboard player Toyokawa Shoko, have just moved here recently, right?"
After accurately reporting Xiangzi's home address, Lin Yi smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lin Yi, the boss of Xingyun Agency. I've been following you guys, Crychic, for a while. I was at your live show a while ago. 'Spring Shadow' is a great song."
As soon as Lin Yi said this, Xiangzi's originally friendly expression suddenly turned serious.
Xiangzi was so excited that he didn't even notice the flaw in Lin Yi's words. What did he mean by "I've been following Crychic for a while"? They were just a small band that had performed live once.
Xiangzi said coldly: "I have already quit Crychic. If you are interested in it, go find the other four people."
"No, no, no, I'm not interested in Crychic." Lin Yi shook his head and corrected, "I'm interested in talents like Ms. Fengchuan."
As the saying goes, one should speak differently to different people. If conditions permit, Lin Yi will of course recruit all five members of Crychic, but the one in front of him now is Toyokawa Shoko.
Let’s make the matter a fait accompli. After Xiangzi has stayed in the Nebula Office for a long time, will this poor guy still be able to run away?
Xiangzi's heart tightened and a hint of hesitation appeared on her pretty face. If she could sign a contract with the firm and discuss the terms, her current dire financial situation would be greatly alleviated.
Forget about paying off debts, at least I don’t have to worry about basic living issues.
But...what about Crychic?
Xiaomu will understand her, but what will Deng, Su Shi and Li Xi think?
He just announced his withdrawal from the group and then signed a contract with an agency. What does this mean?
Xiangzi pulled a face, shook his head and said, "I have no plans to be a member of a band for the time being."
Not only as a band member, Xiangzi would not do any job that would involve contact with the public, such as waiter, salesperson, and cashier.
All she could do was work as a cleaner within the company or do customer service, jobs that didn't require her to be in the spotlight.
After Xiangzi finished speaking, he turned and left, not wanting to give Lin Yi the chance to continue pestering him.
Lin Yi did not stop her, but stated the facts: "Ms. Fengchuan, we are almost neighbors living next door to each other. We see each other every day. You might as well listen to what I have to say before making a decision."
Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Yi said, Xiangzi bit his lip, clenched his fists and came back.
It’s a very simple truth: the monk can run away but the temple cannot.
Xiangzi looked up at Lin Yi, his brows furrowed. "What else do you want to say?"
Lin Yi pointed to a restaurant in the distance and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Let's go over and eat while we chat."
…………
Ten minutes later, Lin Yi and Xiangzi sat opposite each other in an ordinary restaurant.
Lin Yi ordered a deluxe tonkotsu ramen, while Xiangzi ordered an omelette rice. I wonder if it was to make up for the regret of leaving the restaurant and not getting to eat the food.
"Ms. Fengchuan, this is the sample contract of our firm. You can take a look at it first. The benefits are only high, not low."
Lin Yi handed out the model contract for the Nth time. The contract has never failed so far and no one can resist its temptation.
While Xiangzi was carefully browsing the contents of the contract, Lin Yi was still explaining it.
"Although our agency currently does not have a keyboard player, we have already prepared a project for a girl band called [End Band], which will officially debut in a little over a month."
"A guitarist, a guitar vocalist, a drummer and a bassist. It's not perfect, but it's enough."
"That is, a keyboard player is not necessary."
----
Off topic: Have you listened to Yang Jie's cover of Ci Tuan's song? How do you rate it? I feel like Yang Jie is going to die.
Chapter 19 Lin Yi: Xiangzi, someone named Nagasaki Suyo sent you a message
The keyboard is not necessary... Is he secretly mocking himself?
If that's the case, why are you looking for her?
Not only that, but he also offered such generous conditions that no one could refuse. Did he really want to see her make a fool of herself?
Xiangzi clenched his left hand under the table unwillingly, but there was no sign of abnormality on his face as he looked at the contract.
She didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Lin Yi is just a stranger to her. Xiangzi has a strong self-esteem in front of Crychic, but in front of Lin Yi, she does not feel such a heavy burden in her heart.
It is normal for employees to bow to their boss.
Xiangzi put down the contract and faced Lin Yi with her pretty face: "What does Mr. Lin want me to do? Let me make it clear first, I don't want to do a job that will put me in the spotlight for the time being."
Lin Yi nodded without denying it, then crossed his hands and supported his chin.
"We only have one band under our agency at the moment, and there won't be any new projects in the short term. Even if you, Ms. Toyokawa, want to perform, it won't be possible."
“You should know a lot about music, right?”
"Of course." When talking about music, Xiangzi responded confidently with a proud expression. This was the only thing that could be praised about her at the moment.
Lin Yi: "I would like Ms. Fengchuan to take on the position of music supervisor and also serve as my assistant to help me handle some daily affairs and docking work."
"Considering the current workload of the firm and Ms. Xiangzi's experience, I can offer a base salary of 25 yen per month."
“I can start working now!”
The moment Xiangzi heard Lin Yi's offer, all his hesitation was swept away.
She opened her mouth impatiently to agree, fearing that she would miss this rare opportunity.
Lin Yi smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
Xiangzi's breathing stagnated, his heartbeat seemed to slow down, and a look of nervousness appeared on his cute face.
After all, Xiangzi is just a 15-year-old girl. No matter how mature she is, she lacks social experience. Her emotions and thoughts are all written on her face, and people can understand it at a glance.
Lin Yi does not recruit people randomly, especially talents like Xiangzi who are strong and have broad vision, not the kind of talents that are put in quotation marks.
She must be made to understand the situation.
It was Xiangzi who needed the job he provided, not him who needed Xiangzi.
Lin Yi said calmly: "Ms. Fengchuan, please wait, I haven't finished what I want to say. There are still a few rules for the employees of our firm."
Lin Yi raised three fingers.
"First, although you are the music supervisor, you cannot interfere with the band's composition ideas, let alone affect the band's composition concepts. As a music supervisor, you should talk less and do more. This is what I ask of you. Can you do it?"
I can still vividly remember the song "Spring Shadow" played at the live performance that night.
Compared with Taoxiang, who has been certified by the market, Xiangzi's composing ability is much stronger!
Therefore, Lin Yi would never allow Xiangzi to interfere with Taoxiang's creation. What if the inspirations collided and blended, and Taoxiang became enlightened?
Xiangzi just needs to be a hard worker and do some standardized work.
"No problem." Xiangzi nodded in agreement.
She just wanted to make money from this job, and neither "Nebula Agency" nor "ending the band" meant anything to her.
The weak her in the past must die, she must become indifferent and strong, and work hard to get her life back on track.
Lin Yi said seriously: "Second, as an assistant, you must not act on your own. Any important matters must be reported to me. The instructions I give must be perfectly conveyed and executed. There can't be a single mistake! Can you do this?"
Report everything to Lin Yi, follow Lin Yi's instructions in everything, and don't have your own ideas.
Lin Yi's requirements sound very strict, but in fact he takes all the blame on himself. As an assistant, Xiangzi only needs to act as a mouthpiece.
Xiangzi decisively agreed to his request, "No problem."
"Third and final point."
Lin Yi slowed down his tone, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a strong warning in his voice.
"No matter what decision I make or what instructions I give, you are not allowed to question it or offer any opinions! Can you do that?!"
The first two rules are intended to prevent you from losing money, but the third rule is purely to guard against the system.
Although the system has more than 200 precautions, there are still some loopholes that can be used to skirt the rules, but this kind of skirting is very sensitive.
Let me give you an example.
For example, Lin Yi racked his brains to come up with a plan that is likely to lose money, and the system has not yet issued a warning. However, if a girl in a band raises an objection and gives a reasonable reason, Lin Yi will not be able to convince the other party.
It is okay to reject the plan at this time. If Lin Yi insists on using his power as a boss to act on his own, the system will step in and determine that this behavior is a violation of regulations.
Xiangzi blinked, and a look of doubt flashed in his amber pupils.
Good inspiration and decisions often come from collisions. Companies or teams that do not allow suggestions and have a one-sided approach will often go bankrupt quickly.
Although Xiangzi was puzzled, he did not object.
She didn't care about those things. It was Lin Yi who paid her salary. As long as the salary was in place, he could arrange her however he wanted.
Xiangzi said seriously, "I only do my job."
"it is good!"
Lin Yi was extremely happy to have recruited another general, but he did not show it.
"Since both parties have no objection, Ms. Toyokawa, I will draft the contract when I return. Let's add each other as friends first. What is your account number?"
After Xiangzi switched to the corresponding page, he showed his phone to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi stretched his head, but before he could see the number on the account clearly, his eyes were attracted by the messages that popped up one after another.
[Nagasaki Suyo: Xiaoxiang, are you okay? You haven't been to school for a week. ]
[Nagasaki Suyo: Where are you? Can we talk alone? 】
[Nagasaki Suyo: You can also call Xiaomu. 】
[Nagasaki Suyo: Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry.]
[Nagasaki Suyo: Xiaoxiang...]
After taking a few glances, Lin Yi politely stopped reading.
Lin Yi looked up at Xiangzi, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Some people admire her, some feel sorry for her, and some feel happy about her misfortune.
Xiangzi, what kind of magic potion have you fed them? It's obvious that you haven't been in the band for very long and you only held one live performance.
Nagasaki Suyo is also a tall and proud beautiful girl, why does she act like a humble dog in front of you?
Xiangzi noticed Lin Yi's gaze and tilted his head cutely: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yi covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
"...Someone named Nagasaki Suyo sent you a lot of messages."
Xiangzi's pretty face turned red and he hurriedly put the phone back.
But looking at the dense messages sent from Nagasaki Suyo from top to bottom, Xiangzi's face quickly turned cold.
Her two thumbs kept touching the keyboard and she typed a series of words, but before sending, Xiangzi deleted all the words.
Xiangzi took a deep breath, clicked on Su Shi’s profile picture, and after a brief hesitation, added him to the blacklist.
She said coldly: "I've taken care of it."
Lin Yi didn't say much. After adding Xiangzi's friends, he and the people who had ended the band formed a new group called [Nebula Office].
[Lin Yi: This is my newly hired assistant and music supervisor, Toyokawa Shoko.]
Chapter 20 End The band is completely different from Crychic
A few days later, STARRY was in the practice room.
The four-member band was practicing as usual, and the newly hired music director and boss's assistant Toyokawa Shoko was sitting on the sofa, listening quietly to the girls' performance.
To be fair, there is indeed a saying about ending the band.
Guitar lead singer Momoka and bassist Ryo have very good skills, and under their deliberate cooperation and guidance, the band's performance is very coordinated, which ensures a lower limit.
Although the drummer Hongxia's level is not as outstanding as Momoka and Liang, she is slightly better than Li Xi.
