Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Logically speaking, as a contracted artist, it is not appropriate to do this.

But STARRY is his family's business, and Lin Yi doesn't care about such things, so it doesn't matter.

Lin Yi nodded, then touched his chin and said without hesitation: "If the interview program I recorded with Sumimi is broadcast online, I'm afraid I will have to wear a mask when I go out in the future."

As the boss of the firm and a recognized "business genius" by the outside world, Lin Yi's appearance in the media itself has attracted a lot of attention, not to mention that he has also said many controversial things.

His main concern is the inconvenience of traveling and shopping, and the world is still very safe.

Aiyin said with some envy: "I also want to record a show with Chuhua."

"Recording the show is quite boring." Lin Yirui commented: "If Aiyin wants to cooperate with Chuhua, she can continue to invite Sumimi to guest star in the next live show."

Lin Yi said this casually, but he was not very optimistic in his heart.

Before the recording of the show, Nebula Agency was a popular agency and as long as Sumimi expressed her willingness, she would definitely come.

But after the interview program is broadcast, Sumimi’s top management will most likely cut ties with them for public opinion reasons.

This is the cruel reality of the world.

Lin Yi shook his head slightly and was not too worried about this matter. No matter how things developed, it was definitely good news for him.

……

The group of five walked into STARRY and were surprised to find that the number of customers today was much greater than usual.

There was still some time before the live performance started, so the girls dispersed in groups of three or four and wandered around STARRY.

Only Yili was still following Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at the lively scene in front of him, walked to the counter, and looked at Xingge, whose brows were filled with joy.

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Manager Xingge, business is good today."

Xingge put down the work at hand and looked at Lin Yi with some surprise.

"What brings you here today?"

After making a joke, Xingge waved his hand modestly and said, "Thanks to your help, Lin Yi, many people came here today just for the hype of the fund's first funding."

"The band's performance was acceptable, but not outstanding. It was just average and had no highlights."

"But there is a relatively famous high school band that will be performing live here tonight. If you are interested, Lin Yi, you can take a look. Maybe you can find two good talents."

After Xingge finished speaking, he took out a cup from under the counter and looked at Lin Yi with a questioning look.

Would you like something to drink?

"Just give me a glass of water, it has to be warm." Lin Yi said and rubbed Yili's little hand.

The pink girl shook her head slightly.

She doesn't drink.

Xingge stared at Yili for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Are you Goto?"

When his name was suddenly called out, Yili was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down.

She is no longer the same Ichiri as before, not to mention that the person who recognized her is Hongxia's sister.

Ichiri nodded politely and whispered, "Hello, I'm MYGO's guitarist, Ichiri Goto."

After getting the confirmation, Xingge showed a delighted expression on her face, and she tentatively asked: "Could Goto take a photo with me?"

Hong Xia's sister actually wanted to take a photo with me? !

Could it be...that she is also his fan?

A sense of pride rose in Yili's heart, the hair on one side of his head stood up high, and the corner of his mouth under the mask curled up slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Yi patted the girl's shoulder and said softly: "As long as Yili doesn't mind, you can take pictures as you like. It's your freedom."

"Goto, come with me to the backstage to take pictures." Xingge walked out from the backstage and took Yili with him.

Before going in, she did not forget to wave to Hong Xia in the distance.

"Hongxia, come here and help me!"

About a minute later, Xingge and Yili came out with a smile on their faces.

She pulled out a notebook and a pen from under the counter and handed them to Yili.

"Could you please sign another autograph for me, Goto-san?"

While Yili was signing, Lin Yi's attention was always on the notebook.

Because he just noticed that the names of Hongxia and Liang seemed to be written on the first two pages of the notebook.

Lin Yi looked at Xingge with a strange look in his eyes and couldn't help but say, "You're not planning to build a wall in the store to display the photos and autographs you've collected, are you?"

As a livehouse owner, it is a very fulfilling thing to collect more celebrity photos like this and display them.

"Yeah." Xingge nodded in acknowledgement, and then suggested: "How about Lin Yi, you also take a photo with me?"

"Okay." Lin Yi accepted it gladly. Xingge was also an old friend he had known for a long time. If he could be of help with just a little help, that would be great.

Don't take advantage of the bastard.

Xingge didn't hesitate to take out her cell phone and handed it to Yili, asking her to take a photo of herself and Lin Yi.

After taking the group photo, Xingge pointed to the practice room inside STARRY.

"The band that is supported by the fund is now in the practice room, the one you rented before. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Yi shook his head and refused.

These new bands just need to know that this fund exists and know how to use it.

It doesn’t matter who is driving the fund behind the scenes or what their purpose is.

He didn't come here today for this, he just wanted to spend time with his girlfriends.

Xingge nodded and didn't find anything strange.

"Do good deeds without leaving a name. I understand, I understand." Xing Ge sighed and said with emotion: "Lin Yi, the thoughts of a rich man like you are really hard to guess."

Most of the rich people in this world do similar things.

Donations, charity, public welfare...

But Xingge feels that those people do these things mostly for social entertainment and to gain a good reputation for themselves.

Therefore, when doing something, they usually publicize it in a big way, wanting everyone to know what good things they have done.

But Lin Yi is different. Not only will he not take the initiative to promote himself, he even takes the initiative to cut ties with himself.

It seemed as if fame and fortune were completely unimportant to him.

Xingge couldn't understand Lin Yi's spiritual realm, nor did she think she could reach it. All she could do was admire him.

Rich people like me...

Lin Yi felt awkward when listening to Xingge's evaluation of him. Although he was not destitute now, he was not rich at all.

But think about it from another perspective. If everyone thinks he is rich, then whether he is rich or not may not be that important.

Lin Yi smiled with relief, said hello to Xingge, and left the counter.

……

Inside STARRY, the dim lights are like a layer of gauze, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere for the space.

Young people dressed in trendy and fashionable clothes gathered in twos and threes, some browsing their phones, some chatting in low voices with friends, waiting for the live to begin.

On a load-bearing column in the center of the venue, there was a poster of the Band Dream Fund, which attracted many people to stop and watch and take pictures.

"Band Dream Fund?" A girl in front of the poster asked suspiciously, "The conditions are so good, they are not a scam, right?"

"That's impossible. This fund doesn't charge you any money, so how could it be a scam? Isn't there a band that will be performing live soon? It must be some rich guy with nothing better to do who came up with this."

"Oh... I have a friend who is also in a band. I'll ask her."

Lin Yi witnessed everything that was happening in secret, and he felt so happy.

Take pictures, take good pictures for me! Promote them well for me!

Every post to Moments, every click and comment, is contributing to his money-losing cause!

Lin Yi turned around with a smile and happened to see Ai Ne Ryoliang walking out from the inside of STARRY, which was the direction of the practice room.

The two soon met Lin Yi.

Aiyin raised her head slightly and said happily: "Lin Yi! Liang and I just met that new band! Their childish appearance is really nostalgic..."

Chihaya-senpai, Yamada-senpai...

Recalling how the new band members addressed her and Ryo, Aine had a smug smirk on her face.

Time flies so fast.

More than four months ago, she was a newbie who knew nothing about guitar, but now she has become a very popular guitarist.

Senior... hehehe... Senior...

Because Aiyin was wearing a mask, Lin Yi couldn't see the smile on the girl's face, but the girl's curved eyebrows still betrayed her.

Lin Yi teased, “Ain is now considered a well-known person, so she needs to have some self-control.”

Lin Yi knew that Aiyin was a more outgoing type and liked to show off herself.

This is why Lin Yi forcibly stipulated that the girls were not allowed to accept interviews or participate in outside activities, otherwise Aiyin’s pigtails would probably have stuck up to the sky.

But this is also what makes Aine cute.

"Lin Yi is right." Liang crossed his arms, closed his eyes coolly, and agreed: "For example, I am very low-key."

"Liang is not low-key, he just doesn't like to talk to people he doesn't know well, right?" Lin Yi complained.

Aiyin snorted and shook her head indifferently: "I think you two don't understand at all."

After that, she turned to look at Yili and asked in a brisk tone: "Right, Yili-chan~"

Ichiri nodded in agreement.

It is indeed meaningless and not praiseworthy to show off your power by relying on your status as a senior, but the feeling of being recognized is really good.

Ryo suddenly showed a sad expression: "Pochi-chan, you are not on my side!"

"Private Marseille, Ryo-sensei," Ichiri bowed his head and apologized.

……

With a few people chatting and laughing, tonight's live performance started quickly.

The new band supported by the fund was not the first to perform and had to wait for a long time.

But when the first band came on stage, Lin Yi still looked towards the stage with great interest, and he saw a familiar face.

No...not an acquaintance either, because the other party doesn't know him.

Medium-length black hair with side bangs and a pair of green eyes.

A girl named Hachiman Kairin appeared on the stage as a bassist, wearing a cool and cool performance outfit.

Does Hachiman Kairin already have a band?

Lin Yi asked, "Liang, do you know the bassist on the stage?"

Aine was still a newcomer more than four months ago, and Ichiri had been a stay-at-home mom until now. The only person who might know Hachiman Kairin was Ryo.

"I don't know him." Liang shook his head.

"Her name is Hachiman Kailing." Hongxia's voice came from a distance, and the voice gradually got closer.

Hongxia seemed to have just finished her work and came hurriedly over. There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her white shirt was rolled up, revealing the girl's slender white arms.

"She plays backing music in more than a dozen bands, and her bass playing skills are at a professional level. She's quite an amazing person."

Listening to Hong Xia's explanation, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel worried.

Based on past experience, if nothing unexpected happens in the next cycle, the system will require him to form a fourth band.

Who's in the card pool now?

Mikado Hatsuka, Wakaba Mutsuki, Anhe Subaru, and Yawata Kairin.
