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

80

Chapter 80 Xiangzi’s past.

Lin Yi was wandering around the second floor of the office at this time.

Rencai took a leave of absence from the office today. She must be thinking about transferring to another school at noon and some family matters.

Since she didn't take the initiative to come to him, Lin Yi felt that it was no big deal. At least in front of him, Rencai would not act stubborn like she did in the past.

However, even though Nina didn't come, the remaining four members of the band are still practicing as usual, and sharing the aftermath and interesting stories about yesterday's Live.

Although they have shared a lot in the chat group, can online discussions be compared with offline gossip?

The one who chatted the most happily was Aiyin, and the corners of her mouth were always raised and never fell.

If Aiyin was only slightly famous on campus in the past, now she has become a real campus star.

Wherever she went, people would ask for her autograph and take pictures with her. But Aiyin's mentality had changed, and even though she was happy in her heart, her behavior would not be so casual.

Aiyin will reject these requests with reasons stipulated by the agency, which is helpful for the development of the band and is also a disguised way of helping Lin Yi.

Refusing to sign autographs or take photos did not lower Aine's reputation.

On the contrary, as the guitarist of the End Band and the former student council president, he has tremendous appeal.

To exaggerate a little, as long as Aine gives the order, all the students will support her to become the new principal!

Just like that, Lin Yi looked at the ending band here for a while, and then looked at the new band over there which did not have a name yet.

There is no harm without comparison.

Aiyin's side was as harmonious as an after-school tea party, while the atmosphere on Yili's side was tense and particularly heavy.

As the practice began, Xiaozhi's expression became uglier and uglier, but she controlled it very well, and it did not change after it became expressionless.

'It seems that she is not very satisfied with her new teammates.'

Lin Yi sighed in his heart and said sorry to Yili and Deng at the same time.

I'm so sorry for you two.

Although your strength is lacking, this Xiaozhi is indeed a bit too much.

He clearly has no strength or ability, and has fallen to the point of working as a clerk at Yoshinoya. Now that he has finally joined the agency, he is still picky and complains about this and that.

No wonder the previous band disbanded because of her criticism.

However, it is this kind of Xiaozhi that is the talent that Lin Yi really needs.

Moreover, no matter how cold the atmosphere is and no matter how dissatisfied Xiaozhi is, with the lesson of the last band disbanding, plus the third-party mediation of the agency and Li Xi's presence to keep the situation under control, Xiaozhi should not dare to lose his temper because the cost would be extremely high.

Not only did all my time costs go to waste and I had to start from scratch, but I also lost my salary from the firm and had to go back to work at Yoshinoya.

As for the lights, the sound conditions are good and can be used.

As long as you are not too socially anxious, there are still some students who are good enough to play guitar in a band as a hobby, and you can use them for a living.

How can there be so many geniuses in this world? Mediocrity and making do are the norm.

I hope Xiao Zhineng can recognize the reality as soon as possible and become a good wage thief. I will help him lose money as a member of the "Galaxy Battleship". This will be good for you, me and everyone.

Lin Yi thought about this and a happy smile appeared on his face.

He turned around and prepared to go back to the office to get his coat and go home after get off work, but as soon as he turned around, Xiangzi came upstairs in a panic.

"Lin Yi!"

The lovely classmate Xiaoxiang called Lin Yi's name with a heavy expression and a complicated voice.

"What's wrong Xiangzi?"

Lin Yi stopped and asked softly.

"I have something important to discuss with you..."

Xiangzi bit his lip lightly, tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, and looked at Lin Yi with a hint of pleading in his eyes, "Can we talk outside?"

This was the first time that Lin Yi saw Xiangzi like this in all the time they had known each other.

You know, Xiaoxiang is the one who cares the most about his reputation.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, it must be something very important to Xiangzi.

"Wait a moment, I'll get my coat."

Lin Yi agreed without hesitation.

Before returning to the office, Lin Yi added in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Xiangzi. No matter what happens, I'm here."

After saying this, Lin Yi walked quickly towards his office.

After hearing what Lin Yi said, Xiangzi took several deep breaths and his uneasy heart calmed down.

Ten seconds later, Lin Yi put on his coat and followed Xiangzi downstairs and left the office. Aiyin, who came out of the practice room to use the bathroom, happened to witness this scene.

Although Aiyin felt it was a bit strange, she didn't think much about it and just regarded it as a work matter.

She has reached the end, so she will naturally believe Lin Yi.

……

Xiangzi was not in a good condition, and Lin Yi originally wanted to take her home to have a good chat and comfort her.

But thinking of Ms. Nagasaki who lived upstairs, Lin Yi gave up the idea.

He didn't want to make Xiangzi feel worse.

In the end, the two chose to take the subway and came to a small park close to Xiangzi's home. Because of its remote location, there were not many people in the park, which was very suitable for conversation.

Lin Yi pulled Xiangzi to sit side by side on the bench, and then spoke in a gentle voice.

"Xiangzi, what happened? Tell me in detail."

Xiangzi lowered his head slightly and spoke.

"Lin Yi, this afternoon, a large company contacted our firm and said they wanted to invest in us, including but not limited to helping us with publicity and promotion, as well as the establishment of offline physical businesses. The conditions were very good."

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Someone wants to invest? That's really bad news!

No, no, Lin Yi reacted quickly. Someone wanting to invest was not good news for him who wanted to lose money, but it was a good thing for everyone in the firm except him.

Why did Xiangzi...

As if he heard the doubts in Lin Yi's heart, Xiangzi clenched his fists and said as if he was dissatisfied with his fate.

"Lin Yi, the company you want to invest in... is Fengchuan Group."

When Xiangzi came to the office after school and learned the news from the correspondent, he was surprised at first, and then panicked.

Fortunately, the employees of the office unanimously agreed that it was impossible for the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family to work at this age, so they did not associate her surname with the Toyokawa Group.

But others may not know, but Lin Yi definitely knows. Even if he doesn’t know, one can guess that he knows about the changes in his family.

If she had just quit Crychic, she would definitely choose to resign from the agency and stay away from it.

But now Xiangzi has a special feeling for Lin Yi.

Instead of having a strong sense of self-esteem in front of Lin Yi, she would have an urge to confide in him.

Xiangzi has been suppressed for too long.

When Lin Yi heard the words "Toyokawa Group" from Xiangzi, he already understood why Xiangzi was like this.

Behind the Toyokawa Group is the Toyokawa family.

Xiangzi and her father moved from a mansion to the suburbs, and went from having no worries about food and clothing to being frugal. The love-hate entanglement between them can be seen without much explanation.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and asked in a gentle tone.

"Xiangzi, can you tell me in detail about your withdrawal from Crychic?"

"Ah."

Xiangzi responded softly that this was why she came to see Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, my father married into the Fengchuan family..."

Xiangzi began her story.

Shoko's mother was born in the main house of the Toyokawa family. Because of her quick mind, extraordinary skills and great talent, she was in charge of a considerable amount of the Toyokawa family's industry at a young age.

Against this background, Shoko's father married into the Toyokawa family.

Although her father was a veritable elite, he was nothing compared to the Toyokawa family, so he had no say in the family and only received a medium-sized company as a betrothal gift.

Not long after that, Xiangzi was born.

Because her mother was very busy with work, it was her father who accompanied Xiangzi growing up. It was also because of this that Xiangzi had a deeper relationship with her father from childhood to adulthood.

This sounds normal, just a role reversal between parents in an ordinary family.

But just over two months ago, when Xiangzi quit Crychic, everything changed.

The business run by Xiangzi's father is about to go bankrupt due to a broken capital chain. This is not a big problem, as Toyokawa's family is wealthy and powerful, so this is not a big problem at all.

The problem is that the reason for the funding shortage is that Xiangzi's father misappropriated the company's public funds.

Embezzlement of public funds was just a small mistake for the Toyokawa family, but the problem was that Shoko's father used the embezzled funds for gambling.

Yes, this is incredible. Xiangzi's father, who was gentle and refined in his impression, became addicted to gambling at some point.

This is not a matter of money. The Toyokawa family cannot tolerate such a thing happening.

Then, he got divorced, left the house with nothing, was blacklisted, and had a huge debt...

When Xiangzi learned the news, all the procedures had been completed.

Of course Xiangzi couldn't understand this. Her father made a mistake, but for the Toyokawa family, this mistake could be easily made up for. Wouldn't it be better to keep her father under control and let him be an ordinary person?

For the so-called family honor and bottom line rules, why can they go to such lengths and be so heartless?

After pleading with his mother in vain, the heartbroken Xiangzi resolutely chose to leave the family and go away with his father.

After seeing Xiangzi's determination, her mother did not force her to stay, but instead set a condition: as long as Xiangzi and his daughter could pay off their debts, they could return to the Toyokawa family together.

Then there is the story from leaving Crychic to now.

After listening to Xiangzi's experience, Lin Yi sighed inwardly.

He admired Xiangzi for his courage to make such a choice, but he could not blame the mother for anything.

Everyone should do their job. It was very cruel of Xiangzi's mother to do this, but she also had her difficulties. She must have loved Xiangzi, otherwise she would not have let her go.

Of course, no matter what, it is the gambler who is wrong. It is only because the Toyokawa family is wealthy and can afford such a small expense. If it were an ordinary family, who knows how much tragedy a gambler would cause.

It is really hard not to feel sorry for Xiangzi, who was only fifteen years old, having to endure all this.

"Xiangzi, you must have had a hard time keeping all these things in your heart, right?"

There was a gleam in Xiangzi's amber eyes.

Life was originally very hard, but after meeting Lin Yi, she no longer felt it was hard, but felt very happy, even happier than when she was carefree at the Toyokawa family before.

Xiangzi did not answer this question, but moved his buttocks, shortened the distance between him and Lin Yi, and leaned lightly against his tall and strong body.

His heartbeat quickened slightly, but Xiangzi was not shy. He just felt the burning warmth around him and the sense of security like the mountains.

Xiangzi said softly: "Lin Yi, what should we do now?"

Xiangzi was referring to the affairs of the Toyokawa Group. She certainly did not want to accept the investment because that would mean admitting defeat or bowing her head.

However, if the firm does not accept the investment, it may be targeted due to the power of the Toyokawa Group.

Xiangzi's blue hair stroked Lin Yi's neck, making him feel a little itchy, but he still didn't move and let Xiangzi lean on him.

Lin Yi smelled the fragrance of shampoo in the girl's hair and began to think in his heart.

To be fair, he felt that Xiangzi might have overthought it. The Toyokawa family might have just seen Xiangzi's will and attitude and wanted to go through the motions. Even if they refused, they would not do anything against him. Maybe they even gave Xiangzi a green light in secret.

But even if Xiangzi's worries were correct, Lin Yi didn't care.

There is no way that Nebula Agency would accept investment. Even cooperation, let alone investment, must be handled with extreme caution. The reason is the same as that of the previous record company.
