Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

As he cleared the things on the table, he said calmly, "Of course I was busy with work last night. Do I need to report this to you?"

"You said you were busy with work? I don't believe it, you must have gone to a woman's house!"

Hiroi grabbed his collar relentlessly, wrinkled his nose and sniffed, then immediately shouted, "Just as I imagined, it smells like a woman!"

"...Could you please stop sniffing around like a dog?"

Hoshikawa Taku was speechless.

"Don't change the subject!"

Hiroi sat directly on Xingchuan Taku and pressed him, "Did you go to Sister Xingge's house?"

"Not her place."

"Who's that?"

Hiroi Kikuri asked.

Hoshikawa Taku looked up at her helplessly: "Why are you asking this? Does it matter who the other person is? You're not even my official girlfriend yet, and you still want me to report your itinerary? Your desire for control is too strong."

"Shouldn't I at least know who my rival is? If his or her temperament matches mine, maybe I can get along peacefully with him or her."

Hiroi Kikuri said confidently: "I can plan my time with her to avoid conflicts. For example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday are mine, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are hers. On weekends, we can still be together..."

"stop!"

Xingchuan interrupted her decisively, "Instead of thinking about these messed up things, you should either go to the gym to work out or create new songs. I'm very busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you here."

It was obvious that Hoshikawa Taku was trying to drive Hiroi away, but Hiroi didn't leave tactfully.

She stroked her chin and stared at Hoshikawa Taku, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp. "You want to change the subject so much and hide the other person's identity. Is it because that person doesn't know the relationship between you and me?"

"She even thinks you're single, so you don't want to tell me her identity... Are you worried that I'll say something I shouldn't in front of her?"

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Hiroi Kikuri, who had always been carefree, was so perceptive in this matter and guessed the truth so quickly.

Is this what women's intuition is all about?

Hiroi Kikuri knew she was right when she saw Hoshikawa Taku's expression, and said smugly, "I knew it was like that! After all, not everyone is as magnanimous as me and willing to accept that their boyfriend has other lovers outside."

"So you have to cherish me and stop being so strict with me all day. Occasionally, you have to listen to my feelings and indulge me..."

Seeing Hoshikawa Taku's increasingly impatient expression, Hiroi quickly said, "Actually, none of this matters to me! I don't really care who that thief is. I just want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

Guang Jing hesitated for a moment before asking, "If the person you were with last night wasn't Sister Xingge, then it couldn't have been Eliza or Shima, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

Xingchuan Taku was a little surprised and said strangely, "I haven't met them many times. If I were dating them, you would have noticed it a long time ago."

"It's not them...that's strange."

Hiroi Kikuri held her chin in her hand and said in confusion, "You see, I originally joined the agency because both of them joined. If I didn't join, I wouldn't be able to perform with them. But now I've joined the agency, but I've never seen them here."

"When I tried to contact them, they just said they were 've been busy lately' and 'don't have time to play band'... But the strange thing is, what are they busy with? They won't even attend a rehearsal."

"That's weird, it's like... I'm the only one who joined the firm."

Having said that, Hiroi Kikuri paused, then raised her head and looked at Hoshikawa Taku with suspicion.

"Xingchuan, tell me the truth, have these two joined the agency?"

Even though Hiroi Kikuri is a very carefree person, she couldn't help but become suspicious after seeing the many strange things that happened in the past month.

Did his two teammates really join the firm?

"Well..."

Hoshikawa Taku originally wanted to continue to prevaricate, but when he saw Hiroi's eyes, he suddenly changed his mind.

Now that Hiroi Kikuri has become suspicious, it will be discovered sooner or later if she continues to hide it.

So... why not take advantage of this opportunity?

Hoshikawa Taku cleared his throat and deliberately made an embarrassed expression and said:

"Actually, I shouldn't have told you. I didn't expect you to find out anyway... You guessed right. They didn't sign a contract with me."

“Is that really true?!”

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes widened suddenly, "Those two guys actually lied to me!?"

It can really be said that Hiroi Kikuri was "set up by capital."

If it weren't for Taku Hoshikawa's admission, she wouldn't have believed that she was tricked into coming to the office.

Hoshikawa Taku explained: "Actually, they did this for your own good. After all, you were drinking every day before, and your physical condition was ridiculously poor. They just wanted you to temporarily escape from your original state and find your direction in life again, so they cooperated with me to set up a trap..."

Hoshikawa Taku briefly recounted the negotiations between Shima Iwashita and Eliza and him.

"So that's how it is, no wonder..."

Hiroi suddenly understood.

They just wanted to quit drinking, so they cooperated with Taku Hoshikawa to do this.

Hiroi could understand their painstaking efforts.

If they hadn't deliberately "abandoned" me, I might still be lying in that damp and shabby rental house, eating and waiting to die, with no future in sight.

But since joining the agency, she has been living with Taku Hoshikawa, eating and living together.

Not only did he have food to eat and a bath to take every day, but he also gradually improved his health through exercise and gradually got rid of his original dependence on alcohol.

The most important thing is... her relationship with Xingchuan is also progressing rapidly. Although it is not public in name, their daily life is almost like a couple.

This kind of enviable life was something she had never dared to imagine before.

It is reasonable for her to thank Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Elisa.

but……

"Although I understand their painstaking efforts and I have benefited from it, I am still very unhappy with being arranged by them like this...!"

Hiroi Kikuri covered her head and shouted irritably, "I really want revenge!"

Xingchuan Taku chuckled, then suddenly moved closer to her and whispered, "Do you want to give someone a taste of their own medicine?"

"Oh?"

Hiroi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me about it?"

Xingchuan had a sly smile on his face. "Didn't the two of them team up to trick you into coming to the office? Then we can team up now and trick them both over as well."

"This way... you can vent your anger."

Chapter 287: I am afraid that my brother will suffer, but I am also afraid that he will drive a Land Rover.

When Hiroi Kikuri heard Hoshikawa Taku's suggestion, she was deeply moved.

I have already joined the firm, why should the two of them stay out of it?

I have signed a contract with Xingchuan Agency and will definitely continue on this path in the next ten years, but the other two of them have not signed a contract. Maybe when their enthusiasm fades, they will choose to do other jobs.

Shima will become a social figure, while Eliza will become a cartoonist.

By that time, I was the only one left holding up the band's name, all alone. Every time I wanted to perform, I had to beg others to get the people.

That won't work!

Didn’t we all agree to form a “lifelong band” together?

Only by tying the two of them to this path can their band continue!

Hoshikawa Taku fanned the flames, saying, "You're doing this for their own good. After signing the contract, your band will have more room to develop. It's a win-win situation."

What is a win-win situation?

A win-win situation means that Taku Hoshikawa wins twice.

After tricking Hiroi into signing the contract, he then turned around and "laid out" plans for the other two people. This is the "big hand" of capital.

Hiroi Kikuri hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind.

"It's settled. I'm going to make sure they both sign with the agency!"

"Xingchuan, what should we do? Tell me quickly!"

Hiroi urged.

Xingchuan leisurely sat back in his office chair, tapping the table with his index finger. With a strategic expression on his face, he said, "Don't worry. What you need to do now is to act extremely happy in front of them."

"You have to pretend you know nothing and brag in front of them about how smooth your life is, how considerate your company is, how promising your job is, and how enthusiastic your fans are."

"Then, you kept thanking them, saying that it was thanks to them that you were able to join the firm."

"You know that saying? They're afraid of their brothers suffering, but they're also afraid of their brothers driving a Land Rover. They want you to have a good life, but they don't want you to have too good a life."

"If you keep provoking them little by little like this, sooner or later they'll be unable to bear it and come to me to complain. Then... it'll be time for me to take the next step."

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes gradually widened, and finally turned into an excited look as if she had seen a prank script, with a bright smirk on the corner of her mouth.

"Xingchuan, I didn't expect you to be so mean... But I like it!"

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She clapped her hands and laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back. "That sounds like a really fun trick! I can't wait to see them both get so pissed off!"

Originally, Taku Hoshikawa wanted to respect the opinions of Eliza and Shima Iwashita and not sign a contract with them.

However, Hiroi Kikuri's complaint made him change his mind.

A family should be together, how can the two of them stay out of it?

"If you don't have a reason to find them, give this to them."

Hoshikawa Taku opened the drawer and took out two exquisite black and gold tickets.

These are the VIP tickets that he, as the organizer, specially reserved for this concert. He originally intended to give them to his friends in the industry like Shima Iwashita, and now it's just the right time for Hiroi to deliver them to them.

"I'll send it to them right away!"

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes lit up and she snatched the ticket from Hoshikawa Taku's hand.

The desire to "revenge" her two friends outweighed her curiosity about the "stealing cat", so she turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, are you going to meet them empty-handed? Without any gifts?"

Hoshikawa Taku called her.

"what gift?"

Hiroi has no concept of bringing gifts.

She is so familiar with Iwashita Shima and the others that it would be great if she didn't "eat and take things" when she went there, let alone bring gifts.

This is also the reason why Shima and the others dislike Hiroi so much.

"Do you need me to teach you this kind of thing..."

Xingchuan Taku was a little speechless and waved at her, "Come closer and listen, I will teach you a move."

……

Unlike the disliked Kikuri Hiroi, Shima Iwashita is familiar with many colleagues in the music industry and often gets some temporary jobs.

For example, today, she agreed to work for the owner of a livehouse in Shinjuku as a temporary store manager.

This livehouse is called Shinjuku FOLT. It is an old performance hall. The walls are covered with yellowed performance posters, and the air is filled with a slight smell of beer and overheated speakers.

When their band was blacklisted by all livehouses, only the manager of this store, Ayin, was willing to accept them and let them perform there.

Iwashita Shima was grateful for this, so he came to the store to work early in the morning.

She was wearing a black T-shirt and overalls, looking more capable and neat than usual.

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Sorry, sir, the store is closed now..."

Iwashita Shima, who was checking the inventory report, looked up and found that the person who walked in was not a passerby who happened to come in, but Hiroi Kikuri.

She walked in carelessly, sat down on the high stool in front of the bar, supported her elbows on the counter, and looked at Iwashita Shima with a smile.

"How did you come?"
