After finishing his part-time job for half a day, Kurosawa Hikaru collected his salary as usual, took the elevator and left the apartment.
"All!"
However, just as he was on his way to the station, he suddenly heard a car horn.
Kurosawa Mitsuru looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Toyota following from behind.
When it drove closer and stopped, Kurosawa Mitsuru heard the sound of the car lock opening, so he opened the back door and sat down.
"Why are you here to pick me up... Sister Qianzuru is here too."
As soon as he got in the car, Kurosawa Mitsuru closed the door, felt surprised, and saw the person next to him.
Sister Chizuru, with her blue hair like a waterfall and wearing a pair of rimless glasses, looks very abstinent. She is wearing a dark blue dress and is sitting next to him.
She is so beautiful, sitting with her long legs crossed, showing her queenly demeanor.
"Because someone can't wait and wants to see you earlier."
At this moment, Igarashi Runa in the driving seat released the brake and joked.
These words undoubtedly directly exposed Chizuru Ninomiya's cold disguise.
"Can't wait?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ninomiya Chizuru's cold face again, and couldn't help feeling touched by her cuteness.
Because Sister Qianzuru appears to be very independent, mature, and aloof, like an iceberg. She seems to be able to withstand even the falling sky, but in fact, she can't even wait for her boyfriend to get home from get off work.
"It was you who said you were here to pick up Kurosawa."
Ninomiya Chizuru, who had posed in advance, was interrupted and her expression froze in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Igarashi Runa saw her protest and didn't argue with her.
It was indeed her idea to propose to pick up Kurosawa... But it was also because she was influenced by Chizuru that she took the initiative to propose it.
Maybe it’s because she doesn’t have to go to work today and she has all the free time. Chizuru is so restless.
“That’s how it is.”
Ninomiya Chizuru was unwilling to admit the fact that she could not wait, and when she saw Runa retreating, she spoke to Kurosawa Mitsuru with confidence.
"Ryuna-san, you got up and left early this morning. Do you have any work?"
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't care what the truth was and just changed the subject.
If you pursue the truth in everything, your life will be very tiring. As long as it is not a matter of principle, there is no need to be too serious about small issues like this one.
"I went to Apple for a meeting and handover interview to discuss when is the best time to release your album, how to arrange the pre-release activities, and how to word the trailer. I received 100 billion from them, so I have to contribute something."
There is no need for Igarashi Runa to hide her work.
After all, the three people in the car are the leaders of Lingshi Agency and they are also our own people.
"Isn't this something they should decide? Why should they let you go?"
When Kurosawa Mitsuru learned about her work today, he seemed to be thinking about something and then teased.
"I am a famous gold medal agent in the industry. I am very experienced in the packaging and operation of artists, and I have a unique vision. Moreover, I am the boss of Lingshi Agency. Why can't I be invited over?"
Igarashi Runa rolled her eyes at him upon hearing that and raised her chin confidently.
"It is indeed necessary to ask you to come over."
Seeing that she was proud, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
It seems that Sister Runa is in a good mood tonight. After all, she was invited to Apple Music to attend a meeting to discuss important matters.
Regardless of whether a decisive decision is made or not, simply being invited to a meeting is an honor.
It should be noted that Apple Music is the undisputed industry leader and a giant in the world.
"By the way, Apple asked me to pass on a message to you... They want to ask you if they can shoot the remaining music videos for you, and they can pay you."
Igarashi Runa was indeed in a good mood, and then she remembered the important matter and conveyed it.
"cannot."
In response, Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
Regarding his song MV, the industry has seen the commercial value in it, so how could he not be aware of it
He is not a fool who sits on a treasure trove without realizing it. He had long anticipated how important an MV composed of multiple skills would be in making a person famous.
The filming rights could indeed be sold for a considerable sum if given to Apple Music... but using this to make Yuki famous could help Zero Hour Agency expand its business.
It is not enough for Zero Hour Agency to have only one artist leading it. If they want to make big money, they must be more comprehensive.
"If not, when will the music videos for all the songs in the album be finished? They want to release a music video album."
Igarashi Runa had already guessed that he would make such a decision, and added.
"Don't worry, we can keep our exposure by shooting and releasing MVs one by one."
After thinking about it, Kurosawa Mitsuru was not thrown off balance by the urging and demand.
For an artist, becoming famous overnight is certainly a great thing, but if the fame does not last long, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
When it comes to talking about work, especially with partners, once you start, you can’t stop.
At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, driven by Igarashi Runa, they returned home and chatted all the way.
"You mentioned before that you wanted to create a trendy brand. Do you really have this idea?"
"That could be false. The 100 billion alone is not enough."
"Isn't there also a share of the album?"
“It’s still not enough.”
“But it’s not that easy to run a trendy brand… If you don’t do it right, you’ll lose money.”
"What is the most important thing for a fashion brand? Logo, popularity, and style design... I already have an idea. Wait for me to draw it for you, and then you will know whether it will work or not."
Facing her doubts, Kurosawa Hikaru said he would prove himself.
He opened his briefcase, took out a pencil and a small notebook, and started drawing on the table.
His painting skills are so strong that he can basically draw whatever he thinks of.
In addition, his mastery of makeup and styling has given him a great deal of aesthetic sense and understanding of image, which also makes him extremely talented.
"Take a look."
In less than 20 minutes, Kurosawa Hikaru drew a picture and pushed it in front of her.
"So handsome..."
Igarashi Runa bent down and looked at the design drawings on the table, and was suddenly amazed.
Although she didn't know how to draw, she could tell at a glance that Kurosawa's drawing skills were extremely high because they were really beautiful.
“Is this fall clothing or winter clothing?”
Chizuru Ninomiya, who was sitting nearby waiting, also came over to take a look.
The man in the painting is wearing a coat and a sweater. The design of Zero Hour’s logo is very simple, but the embellishment in the design has the effect of adding the finishing touch, giving people a very special feeling.
This feeling is hard to describe... It's like it's natural, the design is not strong, but it's purely beautiful.
"This is winter clothing. There are too many alternatives to summer clothing. Let's start with winter clothing."
Kurosawa Hikaru has a clear idea about starting a business and making money.
"The design of your clothes may not seem strong, but the details are very high... Can this be mass-produced?"
Although Chizuru Ninomiya doesn't understand the entertainment industry, it is common for her to study finance and understand the market conditions and details of various industries.
The fundamental reason why she never considered investing in the entertainment industry was because the rate of return in the entertainment industry was very unstable, risks and benefits coexisted, and it was easy to go to extremes.
Because they rely on fame and traffic to make money, the signature artists of big companies may also suffer a collapse and fall overnight.
For example, for a big movie production, although the rate of return is not low, it takes several years of huge investment, and it is very likely that the movie will be a failure and all the money will be lost.
In comparison, a series of industries such as medicine, steel, chips, clothing, electrical appliances, etc. are far better than the entertainment industry.
"Sister Qianhe has a really sharp eye... It is indeed difficult to mass-produce such a design, so my goal is to create a limited edition fashion brand. For long-term development, the best approach is to acquire a clothing manufacturing factory, recruit a group of employees, and train them to produce.
I will try to produce 5,000-10,000 sets of this style before winter comes. In addition, I will design several styles that can be produced on the assembly line.”
Noticing that she saw the problem at a glance, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and explained.
"Are you going to invest heavily right from the start?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru learned of his plan, her eyebrows slightly raised.
As a person who studies finance, she does not quite agree with this approach.
What financial people are best at is collecting information and weighing the pros and cons.
The clothing industry has been developing for who knows how many years and has long been a red ocean market. It is not easy to enter it and compete with those well-known brands.
"As long as you are sure, there is no such thing as heavy investment, only insufficient investment."
Kurosawa Hikaru is very confident in his clothing design skills, and he is well aware of the benefits of being a traffic star.
The three of them chatted for a long time in the living room about the development of fashion clothing brands.
During this period, Igarashi Runa was also very virtuous and considerate, bringing everyone iced drinks to quench their thirst.
Thanks to Kurosawa Hikaru's eloquence, Ninomiya Chizuru was quickly convinced and joined in discussing the details.
"It's 1 o'clock, time to go to bed, we can talk about the rest later."
Finally, Chizuru Ninomiya glanced at the clock on the wall and said.
"Is it already 1 o'clock?"
Upon hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned and a little surprised, but he decisively put away his scattered career ambition and stood up.
The three of them acted in unison, turning off the lights and going upstairs.
It was on the second floor that their routes diverged.
"Ryuna, where are you going?"
Ninomiya Chizuru noticed this and turned around to ask.
"Take a shower and go to bed."
Igarashi Runa didn't understand why she asked this and pointed to her room.
"Then remember to come over after you take a shower."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly and gave the instructions.
"Will you come over after you take a shower?"
Igarashi Runa was very confused by this request and wondered if she had heard it wrong.
1 a.m. may seem very late... but for a couple in love, this is just the beginning of their nightlife.
Logically speaking, after Kurosawa and Chizuru return to their room, shouldn't they be in love and affectionate with each other
If she ran over, wouldn't she disturb their good time
"Yes, come and sleep with me."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly, looked at her with bright eyes, and extended an invitation.
"good."
Igarashi Runa observed her expression, trying to guess what she was thinking, but could not see anything. However, he nodded and agreed anyway.
Regardless of whether Chizuru's attitude was suggestive or just the same as usual, she would not suffer any loss by sleeping together.
Calculating the time, Chizuru hadn't seen Kurosawa for a week before yesterday, and the same was true for her.
However, although Kurosawa has five girlfriends, in fact, the first three are only his official girlfriends.
Because unlike Miss Ichinose, Chizuru, and Shihouin Mirai, she is the third best and has no reason to be jealous.
Although she wanted to share a quilt with her best friend so that everyone would be happy, this was easier said than done and she could only do it step by step.
"I'm waiting for you."
Seeing that she agreed, Ninomiya Chizuru said something meaningful and continued walking.
As for Kurosawa Mitsuru, he did not say anything in the face of this situation and chose to remain silent very tactfully.
