Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 375 Ace Agent

"It's a good thing that Mr. Xia is popular, but if we want to have a meal together like last time, there may be fewer opportunities in the future..."

Active idol Hoshina Hanami, who is fully aware of the issue of "popularity", is worried about something else.

"of course……"

"Xia Fan, the man you admire, is now the dream of thousands of girls. How could he condescend to have a private relationship with a little idol like you who is out of fashion as soon as he debuted?"

The voice of "myself" rang clearly in my ears.

"..."

Hoshina Hana looked in panic in the direction of the sound, only to see "herself" reflected in the dressing mirror in the room, smiling sweetly.

"Yes... In the past month, more and more fans have come to the school for a 'pilgrimage'... I guess he will be chased and blocked wherever he goes for public activities. President Higashino will be busy..."

"If those fans knew that debut idol Xia Fan and emerging musician 'Xia Fan' are the same person, they would probably be ten times crazier than they are now..."

"Isn't that right, Hanami?"

Horie Tsubasa held his chin with one hand and sighed softly.

Although the "treatment observation period" has ended and the "Idol Birth Festival" program has also come to an end, Xia Fan's schedule will only be busier than before after his official debut, and the chances of the two meeting at school will be even slimmer.

"Hanami?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you too tired from your recent trip?"

Noticing that Hoshina Hanami didn't answer him but was just staring at the mirror, Horie Tsubasa gently touched her.

"No... I'm fine... I just got distracted all of a sudden..."

"I've been singing the same song all the time lately. Maybe I should take a good rest for a while..."

Hoshina Hanami gave a bitter smile and stuck out her tongue playfully.

What she didn't tell Horie Tsubasa was that she would have hallucinations from time to time during this period, and the "self" in the mirror would always suddenly change his face and say some hurtful and harsh words.

"Xia Fan... I always feel like if I'm not careful, he'll run off to a faraway place that I can't see..."

"I have to seize the opportunity...I can't fall too far behind..."

Attention returned to Xia Fan's debut documentary, and Horie Tsubasa pursed his lips in defiance.

……

The top floor of J Club Building.

"Humph, Xia Fan... debuted with the highest popularity..."

"That guy Suoh must be feeling very proud right now..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you be so proud for too long."

In the office, Jenny Matsudaira was staring at the live broadcast on his tablet computer with a gloomy look.

"President..."

The male assistant cautiously stood in front of the door and knocked on the door frame.

"What's the situation with those two Akimoto guys?"

Matsudaira Jenny asked in a deep voice.

"The Metropolitan Police Department has already arranged everything. According to the plan, Director Akimoto did not plead guilty, and Assistant Director Souta took the blame for 'manipulating the voting site' on his own..." "However, because the evidence is irrefutable, the police do not intend to easily believe their words. It may take some more time to investigate before they can process the bail procedures."

Observing the president's expression, the male assistant reported timidly.

As soon as the "treatment observation period" was over, Manjiro Akimoto and assistant director Souta, who were back "online", went directly to the Metropolitan Police Department because they could not accept the popularity votes that were far from their expectations. They demanded a face-to-face confrontation with the team that took over the program and also invited the Justice Bureau to review the voting data.

But the professional team was not seen. Instead, the two were detained to "assist in the investigation" for allegedly "manipulating the live voting of the program"...

It was only after Matsudaira Johnny sought mediation from senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department that the matter was turned into a "closed case". At the same time, he asked lawyers to provide the two with one-stop services such as defense, collusion, bail, and sentence reduction, thus minimizing the impact of public opinion.

"Hmph, those two guys who are more trouble than help should stay in there for a while and reflect on themselves."

Jenny Matsudaira smiled coldly, turned the back of his chair and looked at the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said no more, obviously very angry.

"Um, President, according to your arrangement, Iijima Yozo's agent has arrived..."

After a moment of silence, the assistant reminded softly.

"Iijima...let her in."

Hearing the name, Matsudaira Johnny nodded.

"Hey, President, you seem to be in a bad mood today..."

Amid the rhythmic "tapping" sounds of high heels hitting the floor, a middle-aged but still charming professional woman walked into the office with familiarity.

"Unfortunately, I'm not the president's type... Otherwise, I can give you a chance to vent your anger, right?"

She sat down opposite Matsudaira Jenny without any hesitation. Her long white legs were beautifully raised under her hip skirt which was so short that it reached her thighs, and a hint of pink flashed by.

The assistant quietly closed the door and waited outside.

Yozo Iijima, who can act carefree in front of the president, can be said to be the ace agent of J-Corporation. Several boy bands that have become popular in the company in the past decade were all brought up by her.

"You will lead the newly established "ALLFORONE". "

Without even turning his head to look at her, Matsudaira Johnny went straight to the point.

"ALLFORONE... is it the idol birth festival, the limited group?"

"I heard that the first person to debut is a Dragon from the Burning Department, and there are also a few foreign members with unique personalities..."

"I don't know how Director Akimoto is controlling the situation. Is it because there are differences in the business of auditioning for girl groups and boy groups, or is it because he is too old to react?"

After a moment's silence, Iijima Yozo finally understood which group Matsudaira Johnny was talking about, and he sneered softly.

"I'm already too busy with my group, and the president is throwing a hot potato at me. It's really inconsiderate of me."

Then, she pouted pitifully and declined in a coquettish tone.

Due to the "recording safety accident", except for the "Idol Birth Festival" program crew, everyone else in J Company only knew that the first debut spot was snatched by the Burning Series. But they didn't know the details of the program and how Xia Fan broke the program rules step by step and became famous.

But this does not prevent senior industry insiders like Yozo Iijima from judging the prospects and potential of the limited group "ALLFORONE".

A limited group is a group of members whose debut contracts belong to different companies after the idol talent show ends. They will temporarily form a group for one to two years...

How much company resources the members can share and how much popularity they can gain during the limited group period depends entirely on their personal abilities. After the expiration of the group, each member will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. Therefore, there is no team spirit at all, and the company will not be willing to invest too many resources...

Because of the above factors, limited groups are also called "short-lived groups". During the event, most of them will only get one or two singles, a few opening and farewell concerts, and they are more of a "after-sales service" for the fans' financial and emotional investment during the talent show.
