My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

With the system having previously unlocked the six-dimensional producer attributes for him, Chaoyang can now handle work tasks with ease, requiring little thought. Furthermore, since his abilities have been digitized, he tends to be stable and error-free when performing producer-related work.

Moreover, his manner of speaking also revealed his difficult nature.

After meticulously assigning tasks to each person, it was already past three o'clock.

"...Alright, I'm going to the practice room to gather materials. Later...Toyokawa will be coming over. You can ask her any questions you have then."

Chaoyang still tries to avoid speaking too intimately with Xiangzi in front of her employees, lest a bunch of people try to curry favor with her.

It only caused her more trouble.

When Chaoyang pushed open the practice room door with the video camera in his arms, he thought he would be the first to arrive, since everyone else was usually still at school at this time.

I didn't expect there were already other people inside.

"Ah, producer, thank you for your hard work."

When Bai Lu Qian Sheng was warming up, she stopped and turned around after hearing the door open, a faint smile on her face.

They greeted each other.

As Chaoyang walked in, he put his luggage in the corner of the room, and then asked some questions while setting up the machine.

"Qiansheng? Why are you here so early? Where's the school?"

Chisato took a dry towel from the bag beside her feet, wiped away her sweat, and said breathlessly.

"I had a magazine interview today, so I asked for leave in advance and didn't go to school. It was a feature interview about my past as a child star. After all, I was a bit of a child star when I was young, and they wanted to learn about my current life and work through the interview."

"Ah, speaking of which, there is such a thing. How about it?"

After hearing Qian Sheng speak, Chao Yang remembered that a magazine had sent an email inquiring about him, but he had just handed it to Xiang Zi because he was in a hurry at the time.

It seems that Xiangzi has confirmed the schedule and arranged it for Qiansheng.

Upon hearing Chaoyang's follow-up question, a faint hint of helplessness crept into Qian Sheng's smile.

"...This interview was actually mainly prepared for another, more famous child star. As for me, I was basically just a supporting character; I only said a few words and that was it."

"A backdrop? That's a bit much. I'm sorry, I'll make sure to check carefully before arranging whether you go or not in the future."

"No, actually I already knew. Ms. Toyokawa asked me carefully and explained it to me. After all, we've only really performed one show together, so I'm very grateful that she came to me with a job offer."

She shrugged and chuckled softly.

At this point, Chaoyang could only awkwardly make empty promises.

"Hehe, your workload will definitely increase to the point that you'll all start to get tired of it. Just bear with it a little longer."

"Producers, please don't mind. I've been through this kind of thing many times since I was a child, and I know my place in this kind of situation. Those who have real buzz and a fan base are the focus they need. I'll just treat this as completing a small task and finishing it early so I can have time to come to the practice room to warm up."

At this moment, Chaoyang also set up the video camera, and then clapped his hands at Qiansheng and said.

"Since you're the first one here, consider it a perk. Just say something nice and well wishes, and the agency will make it into a short video and post it online."

Upon hearing this, Qian Sheng looked flattered and quickly waved his hands.

"Huh? Is this appropriate? Let's all do it together."

"Hehe, I said it was a perk, but actually everyone will film a segment. But since Qian Sheng came first, let's start with you. Of course, if you insist on filming with everyone, that's fine too."

Hearing Chaoyang say that he wasn't being treated specially, she was actually a little disappointed, but she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled at Chaoyang.

"...In that case, I shall accept it without further ado."

He casually draped a towel over the handrail and instantly got into work mode, walking straight to the center of the practice room and standing in front of the camera.

"May I begin, producer?"

Qian Sheng raised her hand and gently brushed aside the strands of hair that fell beside her ear, revealing a delicate profile, her tone carrying a hint of composure.

Chaoyang was slightly taken aback by her posture.

"Of course, you can start anytime. I'm all set."

Qian Sheng let out a soft breath, then slightly raised his chin, revealing a camping smile.

"Hello everyone, I know you've all worked hard during the week. This is Chisato Shirasagi, the bassist for Pastel*, practicing right now. I would be very grateful if you could take the time to watch this short video. If you've already decided to go see a Pastel* show this weekend, I'd like to say thank you in advance."

After speaking, Qian Sheng bowed respectfully.

After getting up, he continued speaking.

"Thanks to everyone, Pastel*'s training is going very smoothly right now, and we're sure to deliver a perfect performance to the audience..."

Just as she finished speaking, Chaoyang had a sudden inspiration. He rolled his eyes and, in order to make the scene more like a natural state during practice, he immediately lowered his voice and imitated the stern tone of a dance teacher, shouting off-camera.

"Egret! Rest time is over!"

Qian Sheng was clearly startled by the sudden voice, but she only paused for less than a second before quickly reacting, raising her head with a professional smile, and responding playfully to the "teacher" in her voice.

"Ah, I know, teacher~"

She turned to the camera, her eyes still full of warmth.

"That's all for the advance greetings, everyone. See you at the live show!"

After saying that, she waved her hand gracefully and walked away from the camera with such natural movements that it seemed as if the filming was actually done during a break from intense practice.

Chaoyang quickly ran back to the video camera and saved the footage. He carefully reviewed it, and Qiansheng's performance in the footage was flawless.

"As expected of Qian Sheng, he truly is a genius."

Chaoyang couldn't help but praise it.

When Qian Sheng heard Chao Yang's praise, he could only manage a wry smile.

"No... Producer, I'm far from being a genius."

Chaoyang was a little curious. Normally, Qiansheng would have just been a little humble and polite and moved on, but unexpectedly, Qiansheng seemed to be taking it a bit seriously.

"No, everyone basically thinks you're a genius, including the people at the agency. After all, you seem to be able to do everything perfectly, and you're much more reliable than Hina."

"...Producer...genius, what exactly does that mean?"

Chisato countered Asahi's question by asking her a question in return, and Asahi could tell that Chisato was troubled by something. After all, even though Chisato seemed mature, she was still just a high school girl, and many things would bother her.

Chaoyang smiled and planned to fulfill his role as producer and offer her some guidance.

"...Actually, my Chinese isn't particularly good. If we just imagine it literally, genius should mean a talent bestowed by heaven."

"That's right, that's what I think too... But actually, I can always see people who easily surpass me in certain aspects, from childhood to adulthood. For example, Hina-chan in the team, her understanding and sensitivity to things are things I can't have."

Asahi couldn't help but think of Hina's older sister, Hikawa Saya, whom he had met once. She had also developed a sense of inferiority towards herself after spending a long time in close proximity to her younger sister. It seemed that Chisato had similar feelings.

"Is that so? Rather, it's more accurate to say that you're demanding too much of yourself, Chisato. Hina is indeed a genius, but you're better than her in many ways. The simplest and most important quality is your empathy for others. You far surpass Hina in this regard, and you're very observant and can quickly identify other people's needs. Hina will probably suffer a lot because of this in the future without even realizing it."

Chaoyang spoke eloquently and logically, and Qiansheng, who had been wearing a slightly gloomy expression, recovered.

So they started joking around.

"Seriously, every time I chat with you, producer, I'm so happy. If you were a male escort, you'd probably swindle a lot of girls out of their money. It's so great to be a producer here."

"Oh~~ If Chisato is willing to name me, I wouldn't mind becoming a male escort."

"My name is Xia Mu. When you see this message, please notify the mental hospital to top up your phone bill. Thank you."

Thanks for the invitation. I’m in Shimokitazawa. I’ve just started the bond simulator and am planning to escape from the mental hospital and establish bonds with you all!

Hmm? Nagasaki Suyo, has a house and money?

Now I must build a deep bond with her!

Su Shi! Please marry me quickly!

Want Xiangzi to come back?

G! I'm here to help you!

Toyokawa Shoko was completely dumbfounded when she saw you and Nagasaki Motoyo, two brilliant and talented individuals, kneeling together and begging her not to leave.

Hongxia fell into deep thought upon seeing her peer become her brother-in-law.

Jingqin Rencai has truly mastered your skills, advancing to the Berserker level.

Ding dong! You're surrounded by girls in a band.

Mental hospital.

Simulation started!

Nagasaki Suyo!

I've come to find you!

My wife, my wife~

Chapter 129 With you all working so hard, I'm almost finished collecting all the Cullinan fragments.

The practice room door was opened again.

"Sorry we're late!"

The people who walked in with the sound were Hina Hikawa and Maya Yamato. Both of them were from Haneoka Girls' Academy, so Hina would come to practice together when she wasn't participating in club activities.

"Huh? Is the producer here today?"

After exchanging greetings, Hina immediately noticed the small camera and Asahiya in the corner.

"Yo~"

Chaoyang made a gesture as if he were the same age as someone else, as if to say hello.

Then he walked to the center of the room and began to explain to Hina.

"Since the concert is coming up soon, we plan to edit short videos and release them every day to promote it. Although this is the company's first major event, at least the tickets have already been sold out. As long as there are no unexpected events, we won't lose money this time. So you don't need to feel too much pressure, just have fun."

"No, if you say that, everyone will really relax."

Qian Sheng quickly stepped forward to persuade her, explaining that while she was serious about her work, she couldn't allow herself to treat the career she valued as a pastime.

On the other hand, there is Hina in the team, and in Chisato's eyes, Hina is actually an unstable factor.

Thinking that if she took Chaoyang's words seriously, and they started playing around on the spot, the whole Pastel* would suffer.

After being reminded, Chaoyang immediately changed his tune.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke. After all, this is the result of the hard work of everyone in the company, and it would be inappropriate to treat it with a playful attitude. Of course, my intention was to make you relax and not put too much pressure on you."

Chaoyang didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his words.

"Speaking of which, hasn't Ano-chan arrived yet?"

Maruyama Ayami Asahi, who arrived after Sensato, had already begun giving instructions, but Aine hadn't arrived yet, so she asked him questions.

"Aine will be coming with the idols from Hatsuhoshi Academy, since they're from the same school. Today is a group rehearsal, and Toyokawa will be coming later too. Everyone will be practicing together these next few days, so this is a good opportunity for us to learn from each other. Chisato, you're the only one among us who's been in the entertainment industry since you were little, so we're counting on you."

As Chaoyang finished speaking, he looked at Qian Sheng and patted her on the shoulder as if he were entrusting the entire nation to her.

"Seriously, producer, aren't you putting more pressure on me?"

Feeling a little embarrassed, Qian Sheng pretended to be angry and complained to the rising sun.

That's great! Since the producer asked me to guide everyone, it seems they value me... and Pastel* even more. After all, we've already performed once, so we have more experience. We must get more attention at this concert so that the agency will invest more resources in us.

"Hey hey~ I'm actually quite happy, after all, Chisato-chan is really outstanding, I feel like the whole Pastel* team will benefit from it."

Maruyama Aya thought that Chisato was really under pressure, so she went up to encourage her.

"Ah~ thank you, Xiao Cai. With your encouragement, I have even more confidence."

"To be honest, I haven't spoken to any other girls from Hatsuhoshi Academy besides Ms. Fujita. I wonder if they'll be easy to get along with."

Yamato Maya spoke with a slight hint of worry. She often overheard the power struggles between idols. As a former sound effects staff member, she had occasionally witnessed the darker side of idols, so she was somewhat apprehensive about idols she didn't know well.

"Judging from Ano-chan and Fujita-san, the idols at Hatsusei Academy should all be good people. Fujita-san even mentioned that another person got in by ranking first in the entrance exam."

"Huh? Really? Aren't all the outstanding students from Chuxing Academy already being targeted by big agencies? How did the producer manage to snag the best one among them? Our producer is excellent too."
