"Have you agreed?"
Seeing her timid reaction, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know how he managed to squeeze out these words.
"Brother Guang, are you mad at me?"
Yuki Ichinose found that his expression was very subtle, not as calm and gentle as usual, but still a little scared.
"No, why would I be angry with you over such a small matter?"
"But you look so ugly... Is it a bad decision for me to join Ms. Igarashi's agency?"
"It's a bit troublesome. I rejected her before, so it's a bit awkward."
Kurosawa Hikaru realized that he had lost control of his expression and hurriedly explained.
"So that's how it is... I didn't think about it enough and didn't think about this aspect."
Yuki Ichinose was stunned when she heard this, and then she reacted.
If you think about it carefully, when they were dating at the beach that day, Guang Ge's attitude towards Miss Igarashi was very cold.
"Besides, I used a pseudonym in front of her. If people find out, it will be even more embarrassing to meet her in person." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and added, trying to make her back off in this way.
"Indeed, but I don't think Ms. Igarashi cares about this. She is really a good person."
"Yeah?"
Kurosawa Hikaru found that her impression of Miss Runa was surprisingly good, and she didn't know what their conversations and exchanges were about.
But this is not surprising. You know, the first time I met Miss Runa, I only talked to her for a few words and I thought she was a good person.
"Brother Guang, do you want me to go to another firm?"
When Yuki Ichinose saw his reaction, she felt that he was not very happy.
"No, as long as you like it, but I was originally thinking about the stars."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head and explained.
People get along with each other on an equal footing. You can give suggestions, but you cannot deprive others of the right to make choices.
Once a relationship is formed where you have to do what I say, it becomes unequal, and he also hates this situation.
"Actually, I checked out the Qunxing Agency today. Although it is very big, it is really too big for me. That's why I agreed to Ms. Igarashi. I heard that she changed her agency and there are very few people there at the moment."
Seeing that he was considerate of her, Ichinose Yuki felt a little embarrassed and spoke out her true feelings.
She is not a socially anxious person, but she knows one thing very well: the more people there are in a place, the more trouble there will be.
It is said that the Star Agency has more than 5,000 employees and 300 artists. She feels terrified just thinking about it.
After all, there are not so many teachers and students in her school.
"Are you resistant to crowded places?"
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that this was the reason why she chose Miss Runa.
Is it because she was bullied before that she avoids crowded places
The incident in junior high school was probably a dark time that Xiao Yuji will never forget in her life... She even dropped out of school because of it. You can imagine how painful it was. (Off topic, Xiao Yuji's setting has been changed. She is now 18 years old and dropped out of junior high school for a year)
"It's not that I'm resisting... Brother Guang, didn't you say that at the hotel that day? The bigger the scale, the more rules there are, the more people there are, and the more seniors there are. It's best to find a medium-sized company. You also said that Huanxing didn't even consider it because there are too many rules."
Ichinose Yuki nodded slightly and continued.
"That's true." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded.
Neon’s social system is very strictly hierarchical, with particular emphasis on seniority and many rules.
He didn't know what the situation was like in other law firms, but he had seen the situation at Huanxing.
Newcomers are not qualified to make any demands. Even if the company speaks highly of you, you still have to listen to what the company says. Their attitude is very arrogant. It seems more like being hired than signing a contract for cooperation.
"Then, Ms. Igarashi said that she is no longer with Phantom Star. She opened her own agency, which just opened, and has signed very few artists."
Ichinose Yuki saw that he was in deep thought, no longer frowning, and she put her hands together to support herself, and continued.
She said so much just hoping that Brother Guang could agree and understand her choice, instead of saying things like "as long as you like it."
"There is also this matter."
Kurosawa Mitsuo smiled in surprise. Although the sense of crisis in his heart had not disappeared, things had come to this point and there was nothing he could do to change the situation, unless he was willing to lose face and completely deny Koyuki's decision.
To be honest, putting aside his personal concerns, signing a contract with Igarashi Runa is indeed a good choice for Yuki.
"She also said that if I was willing to go, she could focus on training me."
When Yuki Ichinose saw that he finally smiled, all the anxiety in her heart disappeared and she said positively.
"Is she so nice to you?"
"Yeah, she said I'm photogenic and have great potential."
"In that case, then sign a contract with her, but I have to make it clear in advance that I don't want to meet her."
Seeing that she believed from the bottom of her heart that this was the best way to sign the contract, Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded.
In fact, he was hoping for a lucky break.
Because Ms. Runa has already made it clear that his and Ms. Ninomiya's identities will be kept strictly confidential, and that he will be minimized from meeting other artists as much as possible.
In other words, as long as he can solve the problem of Yuki letting the cat out of the bag, this matter can still be resolved.
"Is she still embarrassed because of her previous attitude? I don't think she cares about it at all."
Hearing this, Ichinose Yuki wanted to ease the relationship between them.
"She doesn't care, but I do mind a little. Also, don't tell her about me, don't let her know who I am, and don't call me Brother Guang in front of her."
Of course, Kurosawa Hikaru knew that she didn't care. With Miss Runa's broad mind, how could she care about such a trivial matter.
"Okay... Actually, she wanted to hire you as my photographer. Just by looking at those photos, she thought you were amazing."
Yuki Ichinose tried very hard to speak well of Igarashi.
In fact, she felt that Miss Igarashi was a very nice person, and for this reason, she also recognized Guang Ge's talent and excellence.
"I will be your photographer even without her asking me to. If there are any endorsement shoots in the future, I can help you shoot privately."
"Yeah, Guang brother, thank you."
After thinking it over, Yuki Ichinose decided not to force them to meet.
Calm down and think about it. We don’t know whether Miss Igarashi is married or not. If she is single, it would be difficult if she falls in love with Guang Ge who is so handsome.
"Small problem."
Kurosawa Mitsuru did not remind him again and again, but smiled.
Some things, if said too much, will tend to make people suspicious.
"By the way, Brother Guang, how's your handwriting?"
Finally, this matter was settled, and Ichinose Yuki smiled happily and asked.
"How's it going... like a normal person, right? You want to practice writing?"
"My handwriting is so ugly now. I feel embarrassed to sign when people ask me for my autograph." Yuki Ichinose was a little embarrassed.
"Just go buy some handwriting exercise books. If you just want to practice signing, I'll design one for you next time and you can learn from it."
"Yeah." Ichinose Yuki nodded.
It was still early, so they chatted until about ten o'clock, and only stopped when Yuki's mother called her to take a bath.
"Huh..."
After hanging up the phone, Kurosawa Hikaru swung his arms, collapsed on the sofa, and looked at the ceiling.
"The truth will come to light sooner or later. Life is long, and we can't keep it a secret forever. Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed. We must think of a way to deal with it."
Thinking that Yuki would officially join Zero Hour Agency soon, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand and felt a little headache.
Although he was determined to have them all...how to have them all was always a problem, and he could not think of a good solution.
After all, he really has no experience in this matter.
After thinking for a while, since he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, Kurosawa Mitsuru stood up and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower and returning to the room, he picked up his phone and found a new message on Line.
But it’s not a private chat, but a group chat.
Runa: "Good news, that hot girl JK agreed to join our agency."
Runa: "It's a pity that her superb photographer didn't agree to join."
Runa: "Where are they? Where are they? Why am I the only one talking today?"
Zero Hour: “I need to do my homework.”
Runa: "Okay... Have you seen the information above? Various big Vs are helping to promote it for free, plus I started looking for people to promote it for you today. The video has been played more than 6 million times. At this upward trend, it's unbeatable."
Zero Hour: “I see.”
Runa: "Come on, can you cheer up? This is something worth celebrating."
Zero Hour: "Let's wait until Wednesday to have fun. I'm going to continue with my homework. After I finish it, I'll come up with a new song."
Runa: "Then go ahead."
After settling the matter, Kurosawa Hikaru closed the group chat and opened another friend's page, which was Chizuru Ninomiya.
He did not forget that he still had one more thing to ask.
"What are you doing?"
Soon, Ninomiya Chizuru, who had been silent in the group chat, responded: "Didn't you say you were going to do your homework?"
"I knew you were snooping on the screen. I just said that. But I felt it was not good to ignore her, but I couldn't stop after I did."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she read the reply quickly and smiled.
"There's nothing I can do. Runa is too excited, and I don't understand a lot of what she says. If I reply to her, it will be over." Ninomiya Chizuru also agreed.
"She is indeed too excited recently. She should be fine after a while."
"If your next piece is still this powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to calm down."
"Should I restrain myself then?"
"That's not necessary. The stage name Zero Hour has just become popular, and it's time for it to take off."
"really."
"Why do you show up at this hour? What have you been busy with?" Just then, Ninomiya Chizuru asked.
"I went shopping with Yuta Miyazaki. I matched a few sets of clothes for him, helped him get his hair done, and bought a few sets of clothes as well."
"No wonder it's so late." After learning the reason why he showed up so late, Ninomiya Chizuru understood.
"Aren't you curious why I suddenly took him to match clothes and hairstyle?"
When Kurosawa Mitsuru noticed that she didn't stop singing, he took the initiative to lay the groundwork and attract her into the topic.
"Why?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was very supportive and continued.
"Can we talk via video? It's a bit troublesome to type."
The groundwork was successful, and Kurosawa Mitsuru pursued the victory.
Many emotions cannot be felt through text alone over a phone, and it is far less than face-to-face communication.
Although video and voice are not as good, it is at least better than typing.
"Can I call and tell you?"
Ninomiya Chizuru read it for a long time, and it was only after about a minute that she replied, as if she hesitated for a long time before making up her mind.
"sure."
Kurosawa Hikaru was very happy to see this result.
In order to open a window, sometimes we have to advocate tearing down the roof - Lu Xun.
This house-demolishing effect is really strong and very useful for negotiations.
