Don't say they lack the ability to cultivate talent; they're just a bunch of bloodsuckers who only think about exploiting ordinary artists, using exorbitant breach of contract fees and outrageous profit-sharing contracts to drain them dry.

Even if he were, he would have absolutely no interest in becoming a star. He doesn't want excessive exposure, and he's not short of money.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have that idea yet.” He honestly expressed his wishes.

"I see." Saito Ichigo's expression showed obvious disappointment, but he didn't press the matter further and simply handed him his business card.

"This is my business card. If you're interested, you're welcome to come anytime!"

"If you have any questions about the industry, I will answer them to the best of my ability."

"Thank you." Sakurakoji Saitaka took the card. "If I'm interested, I will."

Saito Ichigo nodded in disappointment. Generally, people who say that have little hope for the future. But everyone has their own ambitions, and he couldn't force them.

If it were a naive young girl like Hoshino Ai, he could use his persuasive skills as a talent scout to find her weaknesses and convince her. But Sakurakoji's demeanor clearly indicated that he wasn't someone who lacked experience, and he wasn't confident he could persuade him. He knew that persistent pursuit would only alienate him, so he had to give up.

"It's about time, Ms. Hoshino. Thank you for inviting me today. I should be going now."

"Hey, are they already leaving?"

Hoshino Ai snapped out of her reverie and hurriedly looked at Sakurakoji Sai.

"Yes, I have work to do later, and it's about time for me to finish."

"I see. Well then, Mr. Sakurakoji, good luck with your work!"

Hoshino Ai spun around, made a heart shape with her hands, and gave him a cheering gesture, just like on stage.

"Thank you, you too!"

With a smile, he returned the same gesture and walked out of the film set. After he had gone some distance, the group resumed their conversation.

"Ah~ they're gone!"

"Hey! You and him really aren't in that kind of relationship? Then introduce him to me next time!"

"Don't even think about it! Mr. Sakurakoji is mine!"

"Tch, you didn't even dare to say a word just now, what business is it of yours? Go away!"

"By the way, Mr. Sakurakoji said he came to offer condolences, right? Did he bring any gifts? I'm hungry."

"This is the only thing that absolutely cannot be done!" Hoshino Ai's sudden serious expression stunned everyone around her, who didn't know which matter she was referring to.

Volume 1: A Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 22 Favorite Fashion Designer

A few days later, the stars.

"Hey, Mr. Talent, have you seen the latest fashion week magazines?"

As the opening time approached, PA flipped through a magazine in his hand and casually struck up a conversation with Sakurakoji Sai next to him.

Sakurakoji's ears twitched, but his gaze remained fixed on his phone, showing no intention of looking away, and he gave a perfunctory reply.

"For now."

"Which one do you like the most?" PA asked curiously.

"The one with the honeysuckle pattern on the surface, I guess."

"Ah! That one is quite nice. It combines ancient floral patterns with the latest trends, making it stand out among this year's designs!"

PA sat up instantly, her face beaming with joy, and began to express her opinions in a continuous stream.

"Multi-layered, smooth, and glossy silk fabrics are interwoven and sewn together using modern techniques, creating a very progressive feel."

"The fusion of ancient and modern elements and techniques results in a very good overall structure. The designer has grasped the sense of balance in it very well!"

"And it's not just this one piece; the entire 'Ancient Charm' series is being showcased!"

"Some professional judges even said that this could potentially set the trend for this year's fashion. Don't you think that's amazing? Cough cough!"

As she got excited, she coughed a few times, and a slightly feverish flush appeared on her face, which was usually filled with dark elements. She brought her face close to Sakurakoji's face, seeking understanding and affirmation in her expectant eyes.

"The truth is out," Sakura Koji thought to himself, silently cursing. He knew that in this shop, only he could discuss this kind of topic with her, and she definitely wouldn't let him off the hook.

"Yeah, I think so too." Sakurakoji Saiki turned his head to the side and gave a perfunctory answer.

He still felt a little strange when he heard others praise his designs in person.

Fortunately, even with this answer, the other party seemed quite satisfied and returned with a smile.

"Hey, which one, which one?"

Hearing this topic, Ijichi Nijika curiously walked over to PA and looked at the magazine in her hand with her hands behind her back.

“This one.” PA turned to one of the pages and pointed it out to her.

She was happy to see Ijichi Nijika become interested in this topic and shared her insights generously.

"Isn't this autumn/winter clothing? Are you suggesting I wear it now?"

"But winter is almost over, isn't it?"

Ichi Nijika wondered, "Spring is almost here, isn't it a bit too late to look at this now?"

"No, this is for next autumn and winter."

"You're kidding! You're already talking about what to wear six months from now? Isn't that a bit too early?"

"This is what trends are all about. The popular themes for the next fall and winter have already been decided by frontline professionals."

Ichi Nijika was shocked by this, and PA helplessly shrugged. She also couldn't quite understand it, but expressed her respect and said she would pursue it.

"This is... clothing?"

A soft, weak voice rang in their ears, drawing their attention.

A cute little cat with silver-white hair appeared in my line of sight, holding a colorful... matcha parfait.

"Yes, that's right. Is Rakuna interested too?" Ichiji Nijika asked in a sunny tone.

Because Lena has been frequently coming to buy desserts lately, everyone at Fanxing has gotten to know this somewhat eccentric and adorable girl, and almost all of them have been captivated by her harmless appearance.

Thanks to Sakurakoji's skillful reporting and Ijichi Hoshika's approval, she was granted the privilege of being exempt from queuing before the opening and could enter the interior of the Starry Sky Building ahead of time.

“I’m not interested, but Mom is a designer.” Lena scooped up a spoonful of parfait and put it in her mouth, a look of delight on her face.

"Rakuna's mother is a fashion designer? That's amazing!" Ichiji Nijika exclaimed.

"However, she is still on her way to pursuing her dream and is not a famous person yet. Her dream is to one day walk the runway at the London Fashion Week."

"That's not true at all. It's already amazing to have a dream that you're striving for!"

"Yes, she and her father are both in London now, working hard towards their respective dreams."

"Huh? So, Ryuna doesn't live alone now?" Ijichi Nijika was a little surprised. This was the first time she had heard Ryuna talk about her family situation.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, after all, Le Nai's appearance was so striking that it easily aroused people's protective instincts. She even thought that if the other person was alone, she would take her to live with her at her own home.

“No, I live with my grandmother.” Yoru Nai shook her head in denial, then looked at Sakurakoji Saiki.

"Talented enough to become a designer?"

"No, I don't have any particular career aspirations."

"You're clearly interested in clothing?" Kaoru tilted her head in confusion.

“That doesn’t mean you have to do it as a profession.” Sakurakoji smiled and said that he knew his family would be disappointed and regretful.

“Hmm…I don’t understand.” Yao Lena frowned, finding it hard to comprehend his thoughts.

If it were her, since she likes it, she would definitely make it her goal and ideal, such as music.

"You don't need to understand now, you just need to remember."

"If you want Rakuna, then you want Rakuna; if you want Sakurakoji's talent, then you want Sakurakoji's talent. That's all that matters."

You tilted your head again, but this time you seemed to understand what he meant. You didn't say anything more and focused on eating the food in your hand.

"By the way, who is Mr. Caihua's favorite fashion designer?"

Peeking around, and seeing that the three of them were no longer speaking, PA broke the brief silence with his usual low voice.

"Well, there's nothing I particularly like. Many designers have excellent designs."

"If I had to pick one, it would be Luna Sakurakoji."

Sakurakoji put down her phone, looked up at the ambient light on the ceiling, and gave a vague answer.

"Ah! Me too! I absolutely love her designs! Simple yet gorgeous, they're practically works of art!"

"They are very active in the four major fashion shows and are top designers on a global scale!"

"I heard that design is just a side job for her. She also owns several companies and is a regular feature in financial magazines. She's a role model for all women!"

"And she's Japanese, right? The design we just saw was also released by her studio."

"But... it doesn't seem to be her design, even though it's so excellent."

Upon learning that Sakurakoji's talent was such that even his favorite designer was just like him, PA couldn't hide his excitement and wished he could become sworn brothers with him right now.

"Oh, speaking of which, Mr. Caihua also has the surname Sakurakoji. Could it be that you two are related?"

Ichi Nijika seemed to have discovered a blind spot, slapped her hand, and joked with a smile.

When they heard what she said, the others also turned their gazes toward him and stared at him.

However, no one took it seriously, since the probability of such a thing was so small that it was almost negligible. Although Sakurakoji is indeed a rare surname, there's no such fantastical scenario in reality.

"Could it be that Mr. Caihua likes her because she shares his surname?!"

Thinking of how indifferent he had seemed just moments before, PA guessed what was going on and gave a disheartened look.

Sakurakoji remained noncommittal, simply saying, "Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine. It's almost time, let's hurry up and prepare to open the door."

Volume 1: The Daily Life of Attracting Bees and Butterflies: Chapter 23 Who dares to mess with our Archangel?

"What do you mean 'whatever'?! That's so heartless!"

"Alright, alright, stop bothering others and hurry up and get ready for the band's music later."

"How can this be called entanglement? This is love! This is an intimate topic between close friends. You, the lonely siscon, would never understand!"

"You bastard! You want to die, don't you?"

"Ah ha ha."

PA let out a mournful cry, and was then pulled away by Ijichi Seika. Ijichi Nijika laughed and prepared to open the door.

After she opened the door, a large number of customers flooded into the Starry Sky, and Sakurakoji Saiki and Ijichi Nijika began to get busy.

One person constantly displays a warm, sun-like smile while selling tickets to visitors; another prepares meals and drinks with precision and speed, clearing the queue almost as quickly as the person next door.

Just as Sakurakoji was immersed in his own world, suddenly, a shout came from the side, and the voice began to stumble.

He paused what he was doing and turned his gaze toward Ichiji Nijika, a look of confusion on his face.

This was the first time he had ever seen an archangel of the stars in such a state of disarray since he arrived on the planet. It was quite strange. What on earth had happened?

BYD, which fearless guy would dare to mess with this lady in the Starry Sky? Don't they want to die?

A few seats away, Ichiji Nijika was frantically expressing his opinion by waving his incomprehensible hand gestures, his words coming out in broken sentences.

"Um, you know what I mean, right?"

"This is where you buy tickets. You need to buy them before you can go over there..."

"There's still some time before the show starts, so if you don't mind waiting..."

Shifting her gaze to the front, three customers with brown and blond hair and European/American features stood at the bar. There were men, women, and a child, who appeared to be a family of three.

At this moment, the man was standing relatively close to the front, negotiating with Ijichi Nijika, his expression a mixture of confusion and anxiety.

Ichiji Nijika stared blankly at the person in front of her, not knowing how to deal with it. She couldn't understand the other person's language at all. Although she tried to say a few words in her not-so-fluent English, it didn't seem to make any difference.

I've tried my best to explain the process, but it seems the other person still hasn't gotten the answer they wanted.

"what happened?"
