MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

"Losing money is perfectly normal, but being defrauded of land payments, and for such a large sum, is something that will probably be talked about by colleagues for years... It's truly rare in this day and age. To put it bluntly, it's the difference between lack of ability and lack of intelligence. If you make this kind of mistake, your alternative colleagues will challenge your position - how could they be worse than you? Your subordinates will doubt their future in the team, and Xiangzi's grandfather will inevitably be heartbroken that after more than a decade of training, this is the result."

"One of the more notorious commercial fraud cases in recent years is probably the Elizabeth Holmes case in the US, involving a blood test for potential health conditions. This fraudulently established company was once valued at nearly $10 billion, but the actual financing it secured was only around $400 million."

"In other words, when it comes to cheating and being cheated, Xiangzi's father...is only about a quarter as good as the top performers in the industry?"

Su Shi sighed silently, shook his head, and turned his gaze back to his father's body.

The mystery that had troubled her for a year was finally solved, but she didn't feel the sudden realization nor the anger of being deceived and concealed. She just... felt a chill in her heart.

I can't get angry much, or it seems like I don't have any extra energy.

So that was the reason why Xiaoxiang had that expression...

My father was kicked out of the house because he was cheated. I wouldn't be able to accept it either.

"But, for a period of time after that, although Xiaoxiang had been absent from our practice intermittently, it wasn't until the last day that he finally came..."

"She... must be very tired of persisting?"

Xian Juanwei lowered his head:

"It's not just mental torture, Xiangzi, she ran away from home to be with her father."

"so."

Su Shi tilted his head back slightly and took a deep breath to calm his mind.

"Although I don't know more about the inside story, how should I put it..."

"Me too. Ever since I left the Ichinose family, Mom has been all I have. If Mom gets fired and can't find a job, I'll definitely go and stay with her even if I have to live to the ends of the earth."

"So, I don't know if I can do better than Xiaoxiang, because I have a very good mother, so I have never faced the same difficulties as Xiaoxiang."

Hearing this, Genjumaki Wei glanced at Su Shi's profile which was staring at the coffin, and after a few seconds looked at Ms. Nagasaki who was obviously moved.

It's hard for me to accept what's going on when someone says to me, "What if my mom gets fired?"

Xian Juanwei shook his head and said calmly:

"I won't let Sushi-san get into that kind of trouble either."

"I will not allow Ms. Nagasaki to take you away from your work and run away to the ends of the earth."

Nagasaki Suyo turned her head to look at Genmaki Yui, stared at her silently for a while, then smiled strangely and shook her head.

Su Shi placed his palm on the transparent coffin lid, which was still cold due to the sublimation of dry ice, and remained silent for a long time.

Xianjuan Wei continued to stand with her in front of the coffin, but his eyes looked like a forensic doctor who was thinking about how to operate.

Su Shi looked at her father's strange yet familiar face, thinking of Toyokawa Shoko's father, whom she had never met.

It's a bit pitiful that the son-in-law of a wealthy family was kicked out of the house because of a mistake at work.

Even his daughter ran away from home to take care of him, and even the band that Xiaoxiang once cared so much about withdrew. Xiaoxiang is really so sad.

But what about my father?

Xiaoxiang's father lost his job and no one knows what became of him, but my father actually lost his life because of the mistake made by Fengchuan Qinggao.

168 billion... Of course, such an amount can only be decided by Xiaoxiang's father as the president. He must also bear the main responsibility for my father's fate, right?

I am not wrong, Xiaoxiang is not wrong either... No, the way she quit crychic was indeed wrong, but as a junior high school girl, she would have collapsed in that situation, right?

Who is to blame for all this? Is it really necessary to say, "No one is at fault"?

Even if I had resentment towards him in the past... he was my father after all, and it was impossible for me to say something like "It's good that he died".

Su Shi raised her head. The ceiling was clearly brightly lit, but perhaps because of the special environment, it always made people feel a little cold.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Su Shi said calmly:

"Classmate Wei, is Xiaoxiang's father...still alive?"

Xian Juanwei thought for a moment and nodded:

"At least as of last week, still alive."

He said "hmm", nodded silently, his eyes serious, and said nothing more.

Xian Juan Wei looked at the time on his watch and asked:

"Mr. Sushi, what are you going to do next tonight?"

"Tonight... is my father after all. I want to see him one last time for the rest of the night."

"I see. Well then, get some rest. I have something to do and will be away for a few hours."

Su Shi looked at Xian Juan Wei's expression and nodded:

"Be safe, Wei-san."

Only after Genjumaki Wei left the room did Ms. Nagasaki finally feel the pressure on her body ease a little.

Although she once hated the man in the coffin deeply, today there is nothing more to say to him.

"Su Shi..."

Ms. Nagasaki wiped her eyes, feeling sympathetic to her ex-husband's experience.

“Those who can become chaebols are not good men and women, and those who can inherit the family business are few and far between.”

"Whether it's the Genmaki Group or the Toyokawa Group... Mom was originally worried that you would get involved with the Genmaki family's child, but I didn't expect that he would be the first to lose his life because of the entanglement with the Toyokawa family."

"Su Shi, listen to your mother for once. People who mess with chaebols will only become unhappy, so stay away from him, okay?"

Su Shi just shook his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate everything in front of him, and said slowly:

"You're wrong, Mom."

"Whether you can bear the consequences depends on yourself. If it were the Genmaki Group, I wouldn't be worried about provoking the Toyokawa Group."

Ms. Nagasaki shook her head repeatedly in pain:

"That's something Genmaki-kun wouldn't care about. Mom is just a manager of one of the countless companies in the Genmaki Group. When faced with a behemoth like the Toyokawa Group, she can only stay away from it. You can't think of yourself as a member of the Genmaki family just because you have some connections with them..."

"It can be."

Ms. Nagasaki seemed to have heard something even more shocking than the previous "married man". She covered her mouth with her hands and her pupils trembled violently:

"Su Shi, you..."

Around Ginza, Shoko Toyokawa was waving the cheering sticks distributed on site to cheer for the Sumimi group who were performing in this shopping mall.

The top floor of this building in a very good location originally had a "TGW" logo hanging on it, but faced with the increasingly serious economic crisis, the president from the Toyokawa family's side branch who took over Toyokawa Real Estate decisively chose to sell it in exchange for cash flow, and handed over most of the income to the Toyokawa Group headquarters, which was in urgent need of capital, in order to strengthen Toyokawa Sadaharu's good impression of him.

Once upon a time, when Xiangzi occasionally came to this area, he would smile knowingly when he saw the "TGW" sign.

But when the mark that once belonged to the Toyokawa family disappeared... it always felt a bit abrupt.

Xiangzi had no idea which company this shopping mall, which had been fully renovated and reopened, belonged to. He only knew that the Sumimi group had received an invitation to perform here to celebrate the resumption of business.

"Thank you to all the friends who supported sumimi. Next, please listen to this new song "I Want You"!"

On the stage, Chu Hua smiled and spoke into the microphone at her lips.

Xiangzi straightened her back a little more - this was the first time that the song she composed was sung in front of such a large audience.

Beside her, Wakaba Mutsu, who came with her, looked at Xiangzi waving the cheering stick and also waved the cheering stick back and forth in a very human-like manner.

Xiang, you seem to be satisfied with the current situation, that's good...

When Sumimi's segment was over, the two members of Sumimi met up with Xiangzi and Hemu who were waiting in advance through a special channel, and went to the backstage preparation room together.

"Xiaoxiang, how about the performance just now?"

"Yeah! Even better than in rehearsal!"

When Chu Hua, feeling somewhat proud after being praised, pushed open the door of the preparation room, she found that there was someone waiting there whom she had never expected to appear.

"Xianjuan...jun? Why...are you here to visit us too?"

Seeing the slightly surprised expression on Chu Hua's great face, Xian Juanwei smiled at her and said:

"Hatsuka, Mana, you've worked hard. Go back and rest as soon as you finish removing your makeup."

Her eyes then shifted slightly to focus on Xiangzi and Mu beside her:

"Xiangzi, Xiaomu, come with me alone."

Chapter 129 Pushing One Billion Copies for the World to Appreciate

"Mr. Xianjuan...are you here to look for Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu alone again?"

Chuhua was stunned for a moment when he saw Xianjuan Wei, whom he hadn't seen for many days, but who was urging the Sumimi group to leave as soon as possible as soon as they met.

Instead, Mana grabbed Chuhua's arm and led her towards the dressing table.

"Hey, the president must have something to talk to them about. Let's take off our makeup and go back to rest as soon as possible, Xiaochu."

Genmaki Yui looked at Mana, who squinted her eyes and looked like she was trafficking an idol, nodded at her and smiled slightly.

Although MANA-chan has a tendency to develop into a comedic role, she is indeed quite reliable when her mind is not in chaos.

I won’t persecute her today.

Xianjuan Wei stood up from his seat, his eyes swept over Wakaba Mu, who looked slightly surprised, and without staying on her for long, he moved on to Xiangzi.

Although Xiangzi had received his first month's salary two days ago, he was still wearing his usual uniform of a white shirt and gray long skirt that looked very stylish.

The entire set of COS costumes can be purchased on Bingxixi for just 100 yuan.

"follow me."

Xianjuan Wei opened the door and gave a look to Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu, signaling them to follow.

Ruoye Mu glanced at Xianjuan Wei's back, then looked at Xiangzi who was still a little dazed and didn't know what he was thinking, and whispered:

"Xiang, move."

The early warning radar that Xiangzi had developed during her time in customer service was sounding the alarm - although there was nothing unusual on Xianjuan Wei's face just now, her intuition told her that the other party's sudden visit might not be for a positive reason.

"Ah...yeah. Let's go, Xiao Mu."

Xiangzi nodded to Wakaba Mutsu, walked away and followed the figure of Upper Ranks Ueyama Yui.

The embarrassing memory of being caught red-handed while delivering newspapers and breaking the glass, and then being blown on instead of breathing on, crawled out from the depths of Xiangzi's memory again and started to attack her.

At the dressing table, Chu Hua turned her head and looked at the backs of Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu as they left the room one after another. There was a hint of timidity in her eyes, and a hint of unwillingness.

[It's like this again... When Xianjuan-kun has something truly important, he seems to only go to Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu.]

[I...seems like it's just a coincidence. It was like this when I was a kid, it was like this when Xiao Mu invited me to live with him, and it's still like this now.]

[Mingming, I have already tried my best to get to this point.]

The long-lost feeling of being pulled into a social circle that he had never been able to reach began to attack Chu Hua. Although everyone treated him politely, there was always a barrier that made it impossible for him to fit in.

Since she was a child, although the guests of the same age from Tokyo all said that they regarded her as a friend, they often had no idea about the topics of their conversations and could not join in the conversation. This awkward feeling of alienation made Chuhua timid but also expectant.

I was afraid to interact with friends I rarely saw, and even the few skills I could be proud of were easily surpassed, and the feeling of inferiority that came with the topic of conversation was like living in two worlds that only occasionally intersected.

At the same time, I can't help but look forward to the wonderful time when I can tear a crack in the monotonous life of Boom Beach and let the warm light from outside shine in.

"Xiaochu?"

Mana looked at Chuhua, who was still staring at the door in a daze and hadn't taken off her makeup for a long time. It seemed that the symptoms of being immersed in her own world, which had become more frequent after the change of Sumimi's music director, had recurred, and whispered a reminder.

"Ah, sorry sorry."

Chuhua turned her head and showed an apologetic expression to Mana. She looked at herself in the mirror as she was about to remove her makeup, and saw a hint of haggardness in her eyes.

[You took Xiaoxiang away from me again... I'm really afraid of people like you.]

----

The room above Chuhua's head.

Sitting in a chair, Xiangzi fell into a state of speechlessness when he heard Genmaki Yui telling the story of how Suyo's father was implicated by Toyokawa Nakadori, leading to his unemployment, margin call, kidnapping, and sudden death.

Even the face that could be considered soft when not breathing widened its eyes, turning into the same deliciously surprised expression as Chuhua had when he found out that he was Gao Songdeng's meal replacement.

Ruoye Mu, who was listening on the side, no longer had the usual cold expression on his face. He opened his mouth slightly, looking surprised and confused, but unable to speak.

Xianjuan Wei gave them half a minute to calm down, then looked into Xiangzi's eyes, which were almost the same color as Ruoye Mu's, and blinked. When the atmosphere in the room seemed to become even more depressing, he asked:

"Xiangzi, do you know why I learned all about Su Shi's father's affairs, to the point where even his body ended up being handled by me?"
