Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

"If I were you, I would say something nice to your father and act a little coquettishly. I believe he would give in."

Hoshikawa Taku realized that Nina's father was soft-hearted and would not tolerate harsh treatment.

Now, it is Rencai's attitude that is more important.

Renai lowered her head and bit her lip. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, as well as a bit of stubbornness that was unwilling to admit defeat.

But that stubborn light was gradually replaced by another more mature thinking.

"……I see."

she whispered.

Even though Rencai is covered in thorns, she knows when to put away her thorns.

"You've really grown up. You even know how to give in."

Hoshikawa Taku rubbed Nina's head with satisfaction.

In the past, she would probably have refused to give in no matter what in order to insist on her "rightness".

Rencai curled her lips and said, "I'm not giving in. I just don't want your efforts to go to waste! I still have opinions about my father. After this concert, I will continue to insist on my opinion in front of him!"

Well, of all people in the body, Rencai is the toughest in words.

Chapter 294: Is Teacher Da Miao a luxury cap or a key cap?

When Renai's father came out of the room again, his face no longer had the dissatisfaction he had at the beginning, but was replaced by a complicated look.

It was as if he was blaming himself, feeling guilty, or wondering if he should change his attitude towards Niina.

"Well, Mr. Zongnan, what do you think of this?"

Hoshikawa Taku asked with a smile.

Jingqin Zongnan did not answer immediately.

He slowly sat back down, reorganized his thoughts, and then slowly said, "...I admit that I did misunderstand Rencai before."

"She is really working hard on this, and I have seen her talent in singing."

Hearing that he really admitted his mistake, Renai's mother and sister showed surprise on their faces.

Jingqin Liangyin couldn't help but ask, "Father, do you agree to let Renai stay in Tokyo and form a band?!"

"I... I don't object to her forming a band, but I still think academic qualifications are more important."

Jingqin Zongnan frowned and explained, "I'm not against her pursuing her dreams, but she can wait until she gets into university before starting. Giving up her studies now is too impulsive."

It is not easy to make this educator completely agree with Rencai and stop her from attending school.

Hoshikawa Taku sighed softly and continued to persuade patiently: "Mr. Muneo, you should be able to see that Nina is now completely focused on music. Even if she returns to the cram school, I'm afraid she won't be able to concentrate on her studies."

"What kind of school do you think she can get into in her current state?"

Jingqin Zongnan insisted: "No matter what school it is, a college degree is always much better than a high school degree. If she wants to find a job in the future, she will also need a degree."

The old father was indeed right about this.

If Rencai doesn't form a band in the future, with her high school dropout background, there will be very few jobs she can find. She will either be a waitress, a delivery girl, or work in a factory.

Lupa and Xiaozhi are the best examples.

If they had not been appreciated by Taku Hoshikawa and signed with the agency, they would probably have continued working as waiters for a long time.

If it's more extreme, Nina might become a hostess or a streetwalker in Okubo Park.

With her prickly personality, conflicts are inevitable at work.

The old father asked Rencai to go to college for her own good.

Takuya Hoshikawa stopped persuading the other party to let Nina give up her studies, but took a step back and made a suggestion.

"Rinna is still very young. Even if she takes a year off, she can still repeat the year and take the college entrance exam."

"Would you like to give Rencai a year to form a band? After a year, if she hasn't achieved any results, then we can talk about her studying. By then, she'll have already been beaten up by society, and maybe she'll be willing to listen to you and go back to school."

"how do you feel?"

The suggestion proposed by Taku Hoshikawa is the optimal solution that combines everyone's ideas.

Jingqin Zongnan thought about it seriously for a while and felt that this method was feasible.

It was obvious that Renai had no intention of studying at the moment. If I continued to force her to go to university, her rebelliousness would only become more and more serious, and she might even run away from home and sever ties with her family...

"Okay...I agree."

He sighed deeply and finally chose to give in.

"If Rencai really likes this line of work, then if I continue to stop her, it will only make things worse."

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and then winked at Lupa.

Lupa immediately understood and quietly got up and went to Rencai's bedroom.

A few minutes later, Renai appeared at the door of the living room, looking back and forth between her father and Hoshikawa, her expression revealing an uncontrollable nervousness and anticipation.

"Nina."

The old father turned to look at his daughter, a long-lost seriousness appearing on his face.

"I've seen your videos and know how hard you work. I agree that you can form a band. Within a year, you can do whatever you like."

At this point, his tone suddenly became more serious, "But... if you still can't make any progress after a year, then you should come back and repeat a year to take the college entrance examination."

"Okay, I agree!"

Rencai looked delighted and nodded repeatedly.

In one year, Rencai is confident that she and her teammates can make [Thornless] famous, at least to the level of [Diamond Stardust] today!

However, just when Renna thought she had reached a consensus with her father, the next moment, she heard her father say: "But... before that, I want you to go to a place with me."

"Where?"

"Your school."

The expression on Renai's face froze instantly, revealing an expression of resistance.

Did my father ask me to go to school to apologize to the school? Did he say that I had caused trouble for resisting the bullying?

Renai doesn't think she's wrong and doesn't want to apologize.

But...his father had finally given in. If he continued to be stubborn, it would only anger his father and make Mr. Xingchuan's efforts go to waste.

I might even be forced by my father to cancel my artist contract and be locked up at home...

Nina thought of the reminder given by Taku Hoshikawa earlier.

I can't continue to be stubborn in this situation.

At this moment, the only choice is to give in.

"……All right."

Renai was reluctant, but nodded, "I'll go to school with you."

"Okay, let's go now."

Jingqin Zongnan's tone was so decisive that it left her almost no room for regret.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the entrance, taking down the gray coat hanging on the wall.

Rencai had no choice but to stand up.

Muneo stood by the door and said to Hoshikawa Taku and the others, "This time, only Niina and I will go. Please wait here for a moment. We don't know how long the meeting will last. It may be quick, or it may be long. You can go out for a walk."

"Well, of course no problem."

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and nodded.

He had no intention of following.

The purpose of the old father's visit was not to ask Rencai to apologize, but to let Rencai know that he had been helping her "stand up" with a tough attitude and did not choose to keep quiet.

However, it was obvious that Ninai didn't know this. At the urging of Iqin Muneo, Ninai reluctantly followed her father out.

The moment the door closed, there was a brief silence in the living room.

Just as Hoshikawa Taku was thinking about what to do while waiting, Miao Meng suddenly came over with a smile and said, "Since I have nothing to do anyway, boss, can you accompany me to shoot some video footage? There's an old street nearby that's very charming, and I want to record a vlog there!"

"As for Lupa, let her wait here for us so she can give us news when Renai returns."

As she spoke, she winked at Lupa.

Lupa instantly understood her hint.

Lupa thought of Miao Meng's request last night and was actually a little reluctant, but she lowered her head and thought for a second, and finally nodded.

"I'll stay."

She spoke gently, a forced smile on her face, "By the way, we can also talk to Renna's mother and sister about the firm's philosophy and plans, so that they can understand us better."

Taku Hoshikawa thought about it and felt that this division of troops was not a bad idea, so he nodded.

"Okay then. Miao Meng and I will be heading out now. Feel free to contact me if you have anything."

……

Leaving Lupa at the Jingqin family residence, Xingchuan Taku followed Miao Meng to the street she mentioned.

This is a small street with a very ancient style. The street is paved with stone slabs and there are low but neat wooden buildings on both sides.

There were many pedestrians walking on the street, including many men and women wearing kimonos and wooden clogs, walking leisurely, as if they had traveled back to Japan a hundred years ago.

Looking at this scene, Xingchuan Taku couldn't help but twitch his lips, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, Miao Meng, are you sure you want to interview here? These people... don't look like they would care about cosmetics, right?"

"Of course I know!"

Miao Meng smiled and pointed to an old house with low eaves and red lanterns hanging on it. In front of the door stood a plaque with the words "Hua Xiaomachi" written on it.

"Actually, I came here for that geisha house. Look, it's just around the corner over there!"

"A geisha house?"

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows.

"That's right!"

Miao Meng excitedly explained, "There's a collection of rouge, powder, brushes, and even lip balm boxes made from shells that were used by geishas in the past. After I finish photographing these vintage cosmetics, I'll take you to Kumamoto Prefecture's bustling commercial district to compare them with modern beauty culture."

"From traditional to modern, with two lines of comparison in one issue, isn't the content immediately enriched a lot?"

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Sure, that's a good idea..."

"Hehe, what did you think? Let me tell you, I have a lot of amazing ideas in my head, and this is just one of them!"

Miao Meng put his hands on his hips and said proudly.

Although she did have a little thought of "getting close to the boss", she still took the job of shooting the video very seriously.

Seeing the passion and devotion in her eyes, Hoshikawa Taku's expression softened a bit. He smiled and said, "Then I'll follow your arrangements. I'll be your accompanying cameraman today."

"You said so yourself! You have to follow my instructions the entire time today!"

Under the guidance of Miao Meng, they entered the geisha house.

Originally, the store owner did not agree to be photographed, but after Miao Meng revealed her identity as a beauty blogger, the other party thought about it and nodded.

Not only did the other party introduce those ancient powder boxes and lipstick appliances to Miao Meng, but he also asked Hoshikawa Taku to film the makeup process of one of the geishas. It was a fruitful experience.

After the filming, the two did not stay for long and left quickly, taking a car to their next destination - the most prosperous commercial street in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Although not as prosperous as Tokyo, the city center of Kumamoto Prefecture is still bustling with people. Trendy women's clothing, beauty chains, dessert shops, and Internet-famous drink shops are all available, and the colorful signs are dazzling.

Miao Meng seemed like a different person in an instant, switching to "photogenic mode" in an instant.

While reviewing the new beauty products in the window, she confidently walked towards the young women on the street, smiled and started interviewing them, asking them if they knew her, and inquiring about the makeup brands they used and their makeup techniques.

Miao Meng is very good at communicating with people. She can make passers-by giggle from time to time, and can also comment on the style and skills of each interviewee professionally, showing her strength as a beauty blogger.

Miao Meng is much more well-known here. On average, one out of five people knows her identity, and many passers-by come over to take photos with her after seeing her.

The interview went on non-stop for a whole hour. Seeing that it was almost noon, Taku Hoshikawa and she found a shop to eat and rest.

When Miao Meng was looking at the footage shot by Hoshikawa Taku with great satisfaction, Hoshikawa Taku said with emotion: "Miao Meng, you are really serious when you are working. I thought you would be cunning."
