Hachiman Kailing rested her chin lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "A man who could write a song like this for Sumimi, yet is forming a hobby band with high school students, is a bit mysterious, but fairly reliable, and there's no pressure getting along with him. He must be a good person."

Liu Hao nodded and said, "That's right. This is how you think of ordinary friends, so it's not a big problem. The goal is for a band to debut in the mainstream, so there won't be too many personal emotions involved. So it should be easy for you, me, and the other band members to get along."

Hachiman Kailing blinked her thick eyelashes and said, "Are we friends now?"

"Even if it's not now, it will definitely be in the future. After all, there are still many opportunities to meet. The word "friend" is not that narrow. You don't have to have a very close relationship to be called a friend."

"That's true." Hachiman Hailing was a straightforward person who would do what she said. She extended her hand to Liu Hao and said, "Then we'll be friends from now on."

"Ah."

Liu Hao shook hands with Hachiman Kailing, and then heard the bassist say, "Since I am now a friend of both you and Li Xi, it is natural for me to talk about your affairs in the future."

Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're too utilitarian, you're actually making friends with me just for Li Xi."

"You said that the word 'friend' is not that narrow." Hachiman Kailing raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "Please give me more advice in the future."

"Well, thank you for your guidance."

Liu Hao shook hands with Hachiman Hailing again, thinking that this kind of pure friendship between girls was really great. Judging from Hailing's personality, the members of Xiangzi Band should also be able to have a good friendship with her.

Thinking of this, Liu Hao couldn't help but recall the smile of Chihaya Aine in his mind. He once had such a pure friendship, but the Peach Garden Oath temporarily turned into the Wagang Pilgrimage. Aine betrayed the friendship of the pressure-resistant duo and formed a pressure alliance with Riki. But there should still be a chance to restore this purity, right?

Volume 2: Chapter 10 Chapter 6 The package fee was not paid in vain san-¥4→‖⑷≈*⒉∮`

When Liu Hao and Yawata Kailing arrived at the office's front lobby, there were still more than 20 minutes before the scheduled gathering time, but everyone else had already arrived.

Shoko Toyokawa sat next to Mutsushi Wakaba and chatted with Ms. Chiyo Natsume, the head of the Artist Management Department of the Morisaki Agency. Wakami Yutenji was trying to get close to Hatsuka Sanka, and Hatsuka responded politely, but it was obvious that her attention was more on the conversation between Shoko and Ms. Natsume.

That’s right, Yutenji Wakamaki came after all.

Teacher Miao Meng, who had hesitated all night and had already decided to reject the invitation, saw the commercial starring Liu Hao and Sumimi's new song the next day, and the traffic detection radar in her head was about to explode.

It was autumn when I left my hometown, and the golden rice ears were bent by the wind.

At that time, I saw my aunt waving to me and crying. I will never forget that scene.

At that moment, I was thinking that as long as I could make money in Tokyo, I would win it all. Now that the overwhelming traffic is in front of me, I have to consider whether this will be my only chance in this life.

Liu Hao is very talented, Ruo Yemu is full of spiritual energy, and I have seen Sanjiao Chuhua on TV a long time ago. She is a good singer and songwriter, and she is incredibly strong.

Ave Mujica, right?

I will bring my drumming talent that I have practiced since childhood to Ave Mujica and restore the glory of the Pretty Girls Band. It is my duty!

So Yutenji Wakami sent a chat message to Liu Hao with trepidation, saying that after thinking about it all night, she felt that she still couldn't forget her dream of music, so it was not impossible for her to join the band.

However, Liu Hao was doing homework at Binjiang University at the time. The Apple phone he got from Wakaba Mu did not have the signal of Tokyo in this world, so naturally he could not receive any news from Yutenji Wakamaki.

Teacher Miao Meng, who had not received a reply, became anxious and said in the small group video shooting with Liu Hao and Ruo Ye Mu that she had decided to join the band.

So through Wakaba Mu's retelling, Liu Hao learned that Yutenji Wakamu agreed to join, and introduced her to Xiangzi.

Toyokawa Shoko had also been paying attention to Miao Meng for a long time, but at that time she thought that maybe she could develop this popular darling into a lead singer. However, she did not expect that there would be a silver lining after a dark period, and the drummer's fragments were finally filled in this way.

Although there was no time to observe Yutenji Wakami's playing level in person, Xiangzi watched her drumming video and found that she was ambidextrous and her drumming style was very gorgeous. In terms of technique alone, she did not meet Xiangzi's requirements, but combined with Yutenji Wakami's appearance and popularity, it was obvious that she was a qualified candidate.

It can be said that the band has been formed, and the lineup is strong. Both in terms of strength and fame, they have already won at the starting line. They just need to sign a contract with an agency, and then the future will be promising.

But Toyokawa Shoko's mood was a little complicated. Even if the parties involved wanted to conceal it, she also noticed the actual help from Liu Hao and Chu Hua, especially Liu Hao. This band was almost established with his help. Even though the two now have a close relationship, Toyokawa Shoko, who has struggled on the survival line for a year without asking for help from others, still feels a little lost - it turns out that she still has to rely on the help of others.

"Liu Hao!"

"Mr. Liu Hao."

"Aliu..."

After seeing Yanagi Hao and Hachiman Kairin walk in, the band girls and the agency staff, including Xiangzi and Natsume Chise, greeted Yanagi Hao politely or enthusiastically. Although they had been very busy these two days thanks to Yanagi Hao, when they thought about the bonus at the end of the month and their future prospects, they still had a good impression of Yanagi Hao, one of the heroes.

"Why did you come here with Hailing?"

Toyokawa Shoko blinked and looked at the two people who walked in side by side. Now that she had Su Shi as her rival in love, she was subconsciously wary of any woman who appeared next to Liu Hao.

"It's hard to explain, mainly because of the issues I encountered while traveling with my band." Liu Hao shook his head and said, "Sometimes, problems that can be solved through communication require constant attention. The more you dwell on them, the more likely you are to go astray... I wish I were a genius."

"To write a song that could make the charts in no time, isn't that considered genius?"

Sankaku Hatsuka's beautiful eyes showed unconcealed fatigue, but she smiled brightly when she saw Liu Hao. Although she was tired from the announcements in the past two days, Sumimi had a second spring thanks to this song. Party A renewed the contract and paid a large sum of money to buy the exclusive rights to use the advertising song for "Love Training". Mana also had a film and television director express his intention to invite her because of her outstanding performance in the advertisement.

This was not only a career success, but also alleviated Chuhua's guilt towards Junda Mana when he was planning to form a band with Xiangzi.

Moreover, the success of this song has actually made the agency decide to sign the band. Through chat messages, it is also known that Xiangzi and Liu Hao seem to have finally achieved a happy ending. Apart from a little bit of obscure emotions, Chuhua is generally very happy for his good friend Toyokawa Xiangzi.

Liu Hao waved his hand and said half modestly and half complacently, "I'm a beginner. I wrote this kind of music purely on a flash of inspiration. With my true level, I can only help others with the composition. And it's mainly because you and Mana sing well. A good horse deserves a good saddle."

"So fake." Toyokawa Shoko stood up and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Being too modest is like showing off."

"To put it another way, a good teacher produces good students, and it's all because of your good teaching."

"Humph, I dare not take credit for it."

Xiangzi approached Liu Hao and found that his clothes were too new, his cheeks were a sickly red, and he blinked his long eyelashes, asking him what was going on.

Liu Hao shrugged and said that it was really hard to explain in a few words, and he would talk to her in detail in the evening.

"Yanagi-san, you're truly modest. If I could write a song like this, I'd definitely brag about it to the world." Yutenji Wakamu approached Yanagi with a smile on his face, even addressing her in a familiar way. His voice was deliberately sweet and adorable. "As expected of my schoolmate, Waseda University is truly overflowing with talent."

According to Yutenji Wakamu's observation, whether it was Xiangzi, Wakaba Mutsu or Hatsuka, Liu Hao had a special relationship with almost all the band members. Now she came to the agency with Yawata Kailing, which meant that as long as she had a good relationship with Liu Hao, she could quickly get close to everyone else.

So Yutenji Wakamai made a decision that went against his ancestors. Sorry, Miaomeng, I'm going to start sucking up to the rich second generation too. Everyone else is doing it, so it's okay for me to do it too, right? This is called going with the flow for the sake of team spirit, without losing your self-respect.

"Ms. Miaomu, please don't be like this. I'm more used to your cold attitude towards me before."

"It's Meow Meng kiss~" Yutenji Wakamu exudes energy, her slender figure swaying as she adorably pouts into a cat-like shape, just like how she acts cute in the video. "Before, we were just casual acquaintances, partners who each got what they wanted, but now we're soon to be teammates in a band, so of course our attitudes are different."

"What about the video with Xiaomu?"

"Of course it won't delay us, right, Xiao Mu?"

"Um……"

Wakaba Mutsuki had been quiet the whole time, and only responded in a mosquito-like voice after being asked by Yutenji Wakamuki in a familiar manner.

Ever since she called out "Liu Hao" at the very beginning, the girl hadn't spoken a word. Her long bangs half covered her thin eyebrows and the lifeless eyes under her eyelashes. After seeing that Liu Hao was indeed so popular, she lowered her head even more, her lips opening and closing constantly, but no sound came out.

Ms. Chise Natsume, who was in charge of this project, held her chin lightly and listened to the conversation between these young boys and girls, narrowing her eyes thoughtfully.

In the agency's recording studio, the five members of Ave Mujica, Shoko Toyokawa, Hatsuka Sanka, Mutsu Wakaba, Kaisu Yawata, and Wakamu Yutenji, started improvising solo and ensemble for the first time after tuning their instruments. The agency's professional music producer will give their evaluations in the audience and then decide whether to sign the band.

"So, you won't be performing on stage, right?"

"Thank you, I don't drink coffee." Outside the recording studio, Liu Hao politely declined the coffee offered by Ms. Natsume. He continued to look at the girls who were shining inside and said, "I won't be performing on stage. Ms. Natsume, you should be able to sense that it would be really awkward if a boy like me were to go on stage with such an excellent girl band."

Natsume Chise took a sip of her coffee and said, "Are you interested in becoming an idol yourself and shining on the stage?"

"I'm not interested." Contrary to Natsume Chiyo's expectations, Liu Hao shook his head and said without hesitation, "I want to focus on my studies now, and 'Love Training' was indeed written on a whim. I may not have such inspiration again in the future. Maybe this is the only one I'll write in my lifetime."

"That's not important... Don't be so quick to refuse. Let me tell you about our plan. Maybe you'll be interested."

Natsume Chise glanced at the side of the young man beside her. His unhesitating refusal only intensified her interest. From the very beginning, she had sensed in Liu Hao a temperament similar to Chuhua's, perhaps even superior. He was like a piece of unpolished jade, ready to shine at any moment. Indeed, this was indeed the case. An unexpected advertising shoot, a song composed on a whim, had achieved such success, which only strengthened Natsume Chise's confidence in her judgment.

"Your scenes with Mana in the commercial were fantastic, and we see your potential. So, we hope you can be a special guest for Sumimi and participate in some filming and performance announcements. Chuhua won't give up Sumimi while joining a new band, but her energy is limited. So, some of Sumimi's activities can be handed over to you and Mana. This means you'll be debuting in a famous idol group right away, which is a very good starting point."

Liu Hao was a little surprised: "Isn't it taboo for beautiful girl idols to have male participation?"

Natsume Chise smiled: "In theory, that's true, but the entertainment industry is not that stereotyped. Different genders naturally have different ways of operating."

【Are you hyping up a CP? 】

Liu Hao nodded knowingly. It was understandable that the agency considered the interests of the company, but he was already taken, so how could he possibly participate in such a plan?

Just as Liu Hao was about to refuse again, he heard Natsume Chise say, "Excuse me for checking your background. You just got your Japanese study visa in March of this year and have passed the EJU Japanese Study Abroad Examination. From your conversation with Miss Ruomai just now, I think you want to apply to Waseda University, right?"

"I'm not questioning your ability, but preparing for the exam while pursuing career advancement is also a good option. What if you need a few more years to prepare? Just like Hatsuka and Mana, they both studied and became idols at the same time. It doesn't take up too much of your time, but you can gain a lot. Why not?"

Liu Hao was shocked. Natsume Chise's words had finally revealed that he wasn't actually an illegal resident in Tokyo! March was around the time the initial deductions for the Gravity Connect plan took effect, wasn't it, buddy? So, you actually have this kind of extra benefit? While it certainly seems like the plan is worth paying for, there's not even an instruction manual. Users have to figure out every function on their own. It's a complete lack of user experience.

Seeing Yanagi's silence, Natsume Chise thought he was moved, so she struck while the iron was hot and said, "How about it? Would you like to consider it? Maybe you don't care about the money, but being the center of attention is a rare life experience."

"To be honest, I'm really tempted. The conditions and treatment you offer, Ms. Natsume, are very generous."

Natsume Chise was a little surprised by Liu Hao's words, because she knew that such words would usually be answered with a "but". Sure enough, Liu Hao continued, "But I have my own band, an ordinary band that I started out of interest. The band members are all friends who are in trouble in adolescence, so it usually takes up a lot of my time. What's more, I have a girl I like. This should be a topic that idols can't touch, right?"

"These are all objective issues. If they are objective, then they are not unsolvable." Natsume Chise, experienced and quick to the point, said, "What I want to know is, do you have such subjective intentions? If so, then I hope you can consider it."

To be honest, Liu Hao was really tempted. It was not that he wanted to become dazzling, but he thought it would be interesting to experience what it was like to be an idol. In his mind, this profession was not more special than his previous part-time job. It was just novel, and he could also help Xiangzi and Chuhua. However, he did not have time to do this kind of thing full-time. At most, he could experience it during the summer vacation.

Originally, he didn't even want to be Ave Mujica's substitute, after all, he was an illegal immigrant. Now he doesn't have such concerns.

Liu Hao thought for a moment and then said, "I'm Ave Mujica's backup guitarist. Signing the band means signing me as well. Besides, Chuhua is the lead singer of our band. If her Sumimi needs any help, as a band member and friend, I will definitely help."

Natsume Chise of course understood what Yanagi Hao meant, and smiled and said, "You are really a kind person who is willing to help others."

"That depends on whether Ms. Natsume agrees to it."

"Don't worry, everything depends on strength."

Chapter 1:

Chapter 211 Our Band Ave Mujica

Everything depends on strength, and what Ave Mujica lacks the least is strength.

Although there were some flaws during the performance, it still received high praise from professional music producers. After some running-in, it will definitely not be inferior to the mainstream commercial girl bands, not to mention its extremely high appearance and members who bring their own traffic.

So the agency, which had already prepared the plan, of course decided to sign the band.

"Xiao Mu, you made a lot of mistakes today. Is there something on your mind?"

Ruoye Mu silently held the guitar in his arms. In response to Xiangzi's concerned questions, he just lowered his eyelids slightly, shook his head, and his light green hair spread out like willows.

Toyokawa Xiangzi felt a little strange. Not only did Wakaba Mutsu make a lot of mistakes in the performance just now, but after getting to know Liu Hao, Xiangzi could clearly feel that Wakaba Mutsu was much braver than before, and his facial expressions had become richer. But today he seemed to have returned to his original state.

"Anyway, if you have any questions, be sure to tell me. Don't force it. I also hope that you can take the initiative to live your own life, rather than taking this step passively like me."

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu nodded, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiangzi's small mouth when she spoke. The thin cherry pink lips were crystal clear, with clear curves and beautiful lips.

"Xiao Xiang."

"what happened?"

"We are childhood sweethearts. Your band is my band. I will play well."

“Well, this is our band.”

Seeing that Ruoye Mu said so many things at once and it didn't seem like there was any big problem, Xiangzi stopped worrying.

Although the agency has decided to sign Ave Mujica, business transactions cannot be decided on the spot. Specific matters including salary levels, salary sharing, initial investment, etc. still require Ave Mujica's captain and person in charge, Shoko Toyokawa, to negotiate with the agency.

In addition, among the band members, only Yanagi Yoshi and Yutenji Wakami are adults, so after determining the specific items, they must obtain their parents' consent.

In short, the intention to sign the contract has been decided, but the specific matters still need to be negotiated, and all of these have been given full authority to Shoko Toyokawa.

Yutenji Wakamu originally wanted to join in. After all, as a working person, she was the most vigilant one. However, everyone trusted Xiangzi, so she didn't want to be the only one who was an exception in the team. Anyway, Xiangzi said that he would inform and communicate with everyone in the chat group, not to mention that she had more important things to do now.

"Ms. Natsume, I want to ask you two questions."

In the conference room, Xiangzi took a quick look at the drafted contract and then looked directly at the smart middle-aged woman in front of him without any arrogance or servility.

"Okay, you ask."

Natsume Chise adjusted her glasses. She, too, was very impressed by the girl before her: elegant, intelligent, talented, and possessing just the right amount of pride, which was crucial for career advancement. Liu Hao, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. He was too nonchalant. Things that might have been tempting for someone his age didn't bother him, as if he had no desire. Such people, once they were captivated by someone, could only shine even brighter.

"I'd like to ask, does your agency have a talent scout named Mana?"

"No, the only person in our agency named Mana is Sumimi's Mana. There's no such scout," Natsume Chise asked. "What's wrong? Were you approached by a scout pretending to be from our agency?"

"Indeed, I was deceived badly."

Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips, her smile slightly bitter. "I hope Ms. Natsume can tell me the truth about the following question. I read the contents of the contract, and it specifically gives Liu Hao better treatment and additional clauses. So, compared to our band, do you prefer to sign Liu Hao?"

"You are very careful and your judgment is very accurate."

Natsume Chiyo admired the girl's intelligence and spoke frankly, "That's true. After all, he's proven his commercial value, and you haven't yet. Naturally, he deserves better treatment, which is also compensation for him... Of course, there's no need to underestimate yourselves. I'm very optimistic about your team. You have endless potential."

"Well, I am also confident that I will not disappoint Ms. Natsume."

Toyokawa Shoko smiled brightly. She was certainly confident in her own abilities, a source of pride and self-esteem. But she felt a certain bitterness and embarrassment, as if she were still a little girl being cared for. The white lies she told were indeed for her own benefit, but she wished Liu Hao would be a little more willful and unreasonable, so that she could have a chance to take care of him.

Such an awkward mood cannot be dispelled in a short time. It is not because she is worried or for any other reason. If she can easily ignore such things, then she is not the proud Toyokawa Shoko at heart.

At this time, except for Shoko Toyokawa, everyone else went to an izakaya next to the office to attend Sumimi's celebration party. The original plan was to celebrate the success of the new song and also to welcome future colleagues.

"Ms. Yutenji, you can take some photos, but you can't shoot long videos. The project is still confidential. If it is leaked, you may be held responsible."

"I understand. I'm just commemorating it for myself, hahaha..."
