"Michelle Paradise is owned by my family. I just picked it up from the store." Genmaki Wei looked at Mana calmly.
what?
Mana lifted the donut in her hand and placed it in front of her eyes, feeling a little dazed.
Why do I always come across the president's business when I'm out having fun and buying donuts to relax?
Why do I feel like I'm being shrouded by an invisible dark hand... Could it be that even if I escape to Ryukyu, even the convenience stores on the street will be owned by his family?
"Okay, stop looking like you're being coerced by me... We have a photo shoot tomorrow with Xiaomu and Sushi. Just say hello first, and then smile however you want tomorrow."
"Ah...eh?"
Manazuchi Qilinba Wushi + Luba! Qi Qijiao forced a smile and looked at Wakaba Mutsu and Nagasaki Suyo, but immediately realized that Genjumaki Wei seemed to be very impressed by the name of the girl who had the temperament of a widowed beauty.
Wakaba Mutsu had that indifferent expression on his face that would easily make strangers shy away from approaching him, and he nodded slightly: "Good night, Mana."
Nagasaki Suyo bowed slightly with the more formal etiquette of a Tsukinomori student towards a stranger: "Greetings, Miss Mana."
"Good evening...Xiao Mu and...Matsushi-san?"
Although he had already figured out the identity of the beauty in front of him, Donut was still a little hesitant to accept the truth.
"Is it... Miss Nagasaki Suyo?"
"Yes, Miss Mana, please take care of me in the future."
After getting confirmation from Su Shi, and thinking about the scene of the president and Su Shi holding Xiao Mu's hands just now, Mana, who was holding the donuts, felt her lower body take two steps back uncontrollably.
The first and second female characters are both with the president, in...
Although it is offensive to speculate like this, could it be that Xiaomu and this Nagasaki classmate got the role because of this kind of relationship?
MANA-chan myself was assigned the role of the fourth female character because the president said "to compensate me for losing Xiaochu".
As for the third female character Chihaya Aine in the latest cast list released two days ago... just like Nagasaki Motoyo-san, this person cannot be found on search engines.
Could it be that this crew is simply a relationship-based crew?!
For a moment, Mana was a little doubtful whether she would fail at the first step from the singing circle to the entertainment industry.
But if Xiaomu and Su Shi really have that kind of relationship with the president... the president probably wouldn't allow this movie to fail too badly, right?
Oh no, the third female lead has no debut experience like Su Shi-san, so why is she able to surpass MANA-chan? I am also suspicious...
Could it be that I have a close relationship with the president like Su Shi-san...that's why I could only get female No. 4?
No, no, the other three actors have been taken care of by the president... Could it be that MANA-chan is also at risk?
Mana, who often eats sweets, suddenly felt dizzy as if she had a hypoglycemic attack. Everything went dark in front of her eyes and she was saved from falling down by being pulled by Genmaki Yui.
"Why did MANA-chan suddenly fall down? Are you thinking about something rude?" Genjumaki Wei narrowed her eyes and looked down at Mana with a smile.
"Uh... Eh? Absolutely not, no!"
"Ms. Su Shi is a good friend of Xiao Mu and me. The role of the second female lead just happened to suit her temperament, so I invited her to join."
As she spoke, Genjumaki Wei invited, "Mana-chan, are you going home now? Xiaomu and I are about to send Su Shi-san home. Is Mana-chan going home too?"
Originally, Mana wanted to have dinner first, but in the current situation, she was afraid that if she refused, she would not be able to eat the next dinner, so she had to say "Okay..."
It was not only because of the president's "invitation", but also because of the look that Wakaba Mu gave her.
Although it seemed no different from Xiaomu's usual indifferent look, Mana was sure that she saw a cold warning in it that was not even bothered to be expressed in words.
Xiao Mu, why are you suddenly so scary...
Nagasaki-san, could it be that you, like Xiaomu, also have a changeable face from angles that the president can't see?
Wow, what kind of crew is this? Now I don’t even dare to say I want to quit...
Chapter 96 Box Strike
"Classmate Wei, Xiaomu, see you tomorrow." Su Shi got out of the car and stood outside the yellow line, waving to the two people who were still in the car.
"President, Xiaomu, see you tomorrow!" Mana also followed closely and waved her hand, still somewhat dazed by the fact that she got off at the same stop as Nagasaki Motoyo.
Su Shi pinched the cloth handbag that Xian Juanwei quietly handed to her when Xiao Mu went to wash her hands, and felt relieved.
It had been three days since we last met, and there were three 10,000 yen bills in it for paying off a debt.
Working part-time at a convenience store would earn about this much in a day.
It will take Wei about... about two and a half years to pay back the money he borrowed for afternoon tea?
Less than three years... what will it mean after it is paid off?
Su Shi didn't want to think about this issue any further, so she turned her head to look at Mana beside her and asked in her accustomed voice:
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect Miss Juntian to live here too?"
"Ah... Yeah! Yes, I didn't expect Nagasaki-san to live here too. What a coincidence..."
Mana slowly recovered from the tension and even suffocation of being forced to sit next to Genmaki Yui all the way. When facing Suze alone, she finally began to reawaken her psychological qualities as an idol artist.
"Also, calling me Miss Junda is too formal. Since I'm going to be acting with Nagasaki-san from now on, just call me Mana or MANA-chan."
"Hmm~ Please take care of me, MANA-chan! Also, you can just call me Sushi."
With her hands behind her back, Su Shi gave Mana a gentle but not doting smile, which was different from the one she gave Wakaba Mutsu and Genmaki Yui.
Looking at the popular singer Sumimi in front of him, who was so reserved next to Genjumaki Yui just now, but now has regained her sweet idol look and is at ease in front of fans, Su Shi had strange thoughts in his mind.
Mana, you were so redundant just now.
Originally, Wei and I were holding Xiao Mu's hands, and some passengers looked at us as if they were looking at a parent with a child.
But with Mana added in, the whole thing looked like a normal high school group outing.
Mana looks like a cute and reliable sister who is a few years older than Xiaomu. She really destroys the worldview that I have been carefully maintaining all day.
However, considering that Mana was the candidate designated by Wei, she should at least not be completely insignificant. Let's forgive her behavior today. After all, she didn't come here intentionally to cause trouble.
Suyo and Mana were talking about something while carefully maintaining a sense of distance between them, and they were walking home along the road outside Roppongi station.
Until the two of them came to the last intersection before Su Shi's house, Su Shi said "Ah~" and raised his hand to point to the duplex high-rise building where his family lived:
"I'm home. It's nice to meet Mana today. See you at the press conference tomorrow."
"Hmm!" Mana looked at the tall building that the Sushi family was pointing at, and exclaimed in her heart - she is worthy of being the eldest lady of Tsuki no Mori.
After moving nearby, Mana also searched for prices of similar high-rise buildings in the surrounding area, but there was very little information leaked, and it could be said that many of them were not for sale at all.
Unless she can achieve the status of a national-level actress like Minami Mori in the future, she is destined to only be able to experience this dreamlike time of unknown duration through the benefits of the agency.
"It just so happens that I'm home too..." Mana also raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the other side of the intersection:
"If Su Shi doesn't mind, would you like to leave together tomorrow morning?"
Su Shi looked at the building which was a little shorter than his own, but estimated to have about 30 floors. He was stunned for a moment with a little surprise.
Although Sumimi did become an overnight sensation, he seriously lacked the time to accumulate fame; unless he continued to be popular for another twenty years, he would definitely not be able to generate enough income for Mana to buy the property on that floor.
As for renting...
Su Shi, who was wearing a white floral dress with middle-aged and middle-aged features and thought she had good taste in clothes, glanced slightly at the white vest Mana was wearing over her black sweatshirt.
After taking another look at Mana's sweatpants and shoes, Su Shi probably had an assessment of her aesthetics and consumption concepts. At least she herself was definitely not proficient in consumption and dressing, and did not seem like the type who would spend a lot of money to rent a high-end residence.
"Could it be that... Mana is also a low-key rich girl?" Su Shi couldn't understand this contradictory behavior and asked in confusion.
"Eh?"
Mana reacted and waved her hands repeatedly:
"No, no! This is a company benefit. Employees and artists with outstanding performance can apply for free rent..."
"Is that so..." Su Shi looked up at the building in front of him again.
So classmate Wei is also capable of doing such a thing?
"that……"
Mana felt like a fake lady who met a real rich girl. Although she couldn't say she was inferior, she was inexplicably embarrassed. She had a subtle feeling that she was a tenant who was not worthy of being included in the group of owners in front of the tenants who paid in full.
Rubbing the side of her face with her index finger, Mana explained:
"Because I didn't want to disturb Xiaochu, I asked the president to live farther away from Xiaochu. Unexpectedly, I was assigned to live near the Su family."
"Eh? Sumimi, what's going on...?" Sorry, Mana, please pretend I didn't ask!" Su Shi subconsciously thought that Sumimi might have had some conflict, but immediately stopped talking nonsense.
"Well, no, there's nothing I can't tell you. Su Shi will know sooner or later when we film together in the future. But please keep it a secret for me in front of Xiao Chu..."
Mana shook her head and made a whispering gesture:
"Seeing Xiaochu so happy about reuniting with Xiangzi, I felt that if I insisted on interfering, it would be unnecessary and would make Xiaochu and me unhappy, so I moved out to live on my own..."
Su Shi frowned, looking like she was thinking hard:
"Xiaochu is Chuhua, right? Xiangzi... who is that? Is he also an artist in your agency?"
"Eh?"
Mana opened her eyes wide and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with regret for saying the wrong thing.
"This... Xiangzi and Xiaomu said they knew each other since childhood. I thought, I thought..."
"Since Su Shi and Xiao Mu are close classmates, she should also know Xiang Qizi... Sorry, sorry, I mentioned someone unnecessary."
Su Shi pointed to his cheek, his eyes lit up, and he said suddenly:
"Ah~"
"The Shoko Mana is talking about, is that Toyokawa Shoko?"
"Huh?" Mana blinked, still a little confused, not knowing why Su Shi's memory suddenly awakened.
"So Su Shi knows Xiangzi. That's good. I thought I was just talking nonsense..."
"Hmm~" Su Shi squeezed the cloth handbag in her pocket tightly through a layer of clothes.
Su Shi lowered his voice slightly, and looked towards the street light, his voice sounding a little depressed.
"We used to be classmates in different classes, and we even formed a band together for a lifetime... for a month."
"It's just that we haven't seen each other for almost a year... So when Mana mentioned it, I didn't think it was her. I've forgotten her quite a bit."
"This..." Mana had a bad feeling that she had exposed someone else's scars, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry for making Su Shi think of bad memories!"
"No, not at all~" Su Shi showed a gentle and understanding smile.
"It was just a band of middle school students playing together. Later, due to reasons for further studies... Anyway, we understood each other and broke up naturally."
Mana felt relieved, as if her hands holding the donuts had lost their strength. She imagined the fixed disbanding routine of 99% of campus bands during graduation season:
"I see……"
"By the way, can I ask a favor of Mana?"
"Please speak, Sushi."
Suyo put her index finger to her lips, tilted her head slightly, and winked at Mana.
"I won't tell Chuhua about what happened tonight, so could you please not tell Xiaomu about what happened just now?"
The hoarse voice made Mana want to clamp her legs together.
"Of course!" Mana immediately understood why Su Shi didn't want to talk about sad things in front of Xiao Mu: "MANA-chan is completely trustworthy!"
"That's great... By the way, is Xiangyuu Qiyinzi doing well now?"
"Well... I don't know how to put it... Xiangzi was invited by the president to be the music director of Sumimi. He has a good talent for composition. I don't know much about his other aspects of life."
Su Shi kept smiling and nodded slowly.
"Yeah, I get it. Thank you so much for today, Mana. Let's add a line first. Let's go together tomorrow morning."
A minute later, as he watched Mana leave, Su Shi's eyes drooped slightly.
Taking out the cloth handbag that Xianjuanwei gave her today, Su Shi took two deep breaths and held it tightly against her chest.
"It's a completely unexpected truth..."
"But I can't say I'm angry. After all, apart from the first few times, I never asked Wei about Xiaoxiang again."
"Xiao Xiang..."
"One little Mu is enough. Why did Wei ask you to work with me? I don't plan to have twins."
