"I saw."

"Are you a fan of mine?"

"I think I am, and I'm a perverted fan who chases people to their idol's house."

After Liu Hao made a joke, he saw Chu Hua still mechanically stuffing grass into her small mouth, and couldn't help but say, "I told you last time, why are you still eating this kind of thing for dinner?"

"That's convenient."

"You can order takeout."

“There aren’t many options for takeout, and I don’t have an appetite.”

"You're so lazy, you Navy idiot! You should know your shame, know your shame."

Liu Hao shook his head helplessly. Although Chuhua was only a freshman in high school, Liu Hao had always treated her as a peer. Compared to the others, Chuhua was obviously much more mature and sensible. However, today, she probably hadn't yet adjusted to being alone at home. Instead, she had returned to her roots. Remove the idol halo and outstanding appearance, and Chuhua was just an ordinary girl, tired and helpless.

"Wait, don't eat yet."

Liu Hao put the fodder bowl aside and walked to the kitchen with Chu Hua in his hand. He looked through the refrigerator and cupboards. The seasonings and kitchen utensils were quite complete, but there were not many ingredients. There were only eggs and some frozen meat and shrimp.

"That's perfect. I'll make you a bowl of egg noodles. Sometimes when I'm sick and have no appetite, my grandma makes egg noodles for me. She adds some chili or pepper to it, which helps me sweat and helps me sleep."

"Hmm..."

Chu Hua leaned against the kitchen door, pursing her lips and looking at Liu Hao's skillful beating of eggs with her violet eyes blurred. She felt a little sad but also filled with warmth, as if she had finally experienced the warmth of family after a long time.

The more Chuhua got to know Liu Hao, the more she understood why Xiangzi was so deeply in love with this boy. She was completely outshined by him. Perhaps this was also the reason why the other girls were so attached to him.

Liu Hao planned to make a simple soup with eggs and lard from the frozen meat. While cutting the meat, he said, "I came to see you because I have a few questions. Do you know anything about the Yokohama Music Festival? ...Chuhua?"

"Ok, I know."

Chu Hua came to his senses and quickly responded.

"The agency has told you and Mana?"

"As I've mentioned, the Yokohama Music Festival might conflict with the band's rehearsal. The agency wants you to come and work with Mana for the first two days to fill in. I'll come over on the last day."

Liu Hao continued, "Yes, the agency also asked for my opinion... It's such a coincidence that they can confirm the band's rehearsal time right after signing the contract. The agency is obviously trying to test the waters, to test the market, and to gauge your attitude."

"Did you agree?"

"Not yet. I'm thinking about it," Liu Hao said. "If the firm really gets a taste of the sweetness, you might be marginalized, so I wanted to ask for your opinion first."

Chu Hua pursed her lips. The feeling of being respected and cared for made the girl feel a little dizzy.

"My opinion is, you'd bet on that."

Chu Hua tilted her head slightly, letting her long golden hair fall down, and said truthfully, "I'm already struggling with my idol job alone, and now I have to take care of the band as well. If you can really sideline me a little, then you've saved me from this."

Liu Hao jokingly said, "You can't hold on any longer? You were so determined to tell Mana that Sumimi would be with you forever."

"Well, I also said that you will never be able to get rid of the label of Sumimi in your life." Chu Hua countered, "Besides, I'm just a girl. I really can't compare to your ability to play three women at the same time. I have to admit that I am inferior to you."

Liu Hao waved his hand and said modestly, "I don't have any ability. I just used the time others spend drinking coffee to talk about love."

"So thick-skinned~"

"Each each other."

Under Chu Hua's smiling gaze, Liu Hao poured boiling water into the pot. The aroma of tender eggs and lard residue fried in lard immediately spread out, and the soup base became thick and white. The reason why the soup was so mellow was nothing more than the emulsification of oil.

Liu Hao, now free, was able to ask a second question: "Chuhua, besides Xiangzi, is there anyone else you particularly care about, or who particularly cares about you? Preferably someone of the same age."

When Chu Hua heard this question, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Hao in front of the stove, and her heart began to beat rapidly.

"Probably... not."

Liu Hao asked in surprise: "Huh? Doesn't Mana count? You even used her name as your pseudonym."

"Mana and I... have a pretty good relationship, but not to the level of Xiaoxiang." Chu Hua's beautiful face flushed slightly as she asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Because the law of nature is reincarnation, retribution will come."

"The Riddler has to swallow a thousand needles."

"I'm not being a riddle man. I'm just telling you that you might be blessed. You might get to experience what it's like to be Xiangzi."

Liu Hao's somewhat ambiguous words made Chu Hua's heart even more nervous. Her eyes unconsciously focused on Liu Hao's lips as he spoke, and her mind was full of random thoughts about what it felt like to be Xiangzi.

Then Chuhua heard Liu Hao's explanation about the Gravity Connection Package, and he suspected that 006 was Junda Mana.

"..."

It took Sanjiao Chuhua a while to digest this information. At this time, Liu Hao had already finished the seasoning and served the vegetable, egg and shrimp noodles sprinkled with white pepper.

The two of them were back in the living room, bowls filled with noodles placed in front of them. Curling wisps of hot air were emanating from the air-conditioned room. Sanjiao Chuhua sighed and said, "This is really karma. I used to peek at your chat messages with Xiaoxiang and even argued with you. Now our chat messages are going to be seen by Mana."

"Not sure yet. It's just speculation, because the logic is only based on the current situation. However, the existence of things like the Gravity Connection Package is very illogical, so it's very likely that there is no logic." Liu Hao asked, "You and Mana have been together for a long time. Has she behaved in any unusual way recently?"

"Yes, she has. Lately, she's been looking at me from time to time, or asking about your situation..."

Mikado Hatsuka murmured as he recalled, "But you were already very important to Sumimi, and there was a possibility of him joining. I'm also going to be in the band, so Mana's reaction isn't really unusual."

"It was just a guess. If you don't want to say it, there's nothing others can do. You can definitely empathize with others in this kind of situation, right, Miss Mana?"

Faced with Liu Hao's teasing, Chu Hua did not fight back this time, but just remained silent and thoughtful.

If Mana also joins the Gravity Connection plan, then Sumimi seems like it will never disband, and Liu Hao will never be able to get rid of the Sumimi label...

Liu Hao looked at the girl's reaction and said nothing more, but just reminded her: "Don't think about it, if you don't eat the noodles, they will become clumpy. Try my cooking."

"Ah."

Pushing the hair behind her ears, Sanjiao Chuhua lowered her head to hold the bowl of noodles, opened her cherry lips and took a sip of the soup. The taste of white pepper and the rich taste of scrambled eggs and lard almost stimulated her taste buds all the way from her throat to her stomach. The texture of the noodles was just right, wrapped in soup and vegetables, and the special fatty aroma of the lard, which was really mouth-watering and relieved a little of her physical and mental fatigue.

Chu Hua's nose felt a little sour and her eyes turned red. The taste of this bowl of noodles was of course very good, but it was just an ordinary home-cooked taste. However, on such a night in Tokyo far away from home, being able to eat such a home-cooked taste full of care was enough to soothe the girl's tired and lonely heart.

Liu Hao noticed Chu Hua's reaction and asked, "Did you put too much white pepper?"

"No, it tastes just right and is very appetizing."

"That's good. Let's sweat a little and then take a shower. You'll sleep better."

"Hmm~"

The living room fell into silence for a moment, with only the sound of Chu Hua eating noodles in small bites echoing in this small space.

Chuhua's appetite is not big like that of most Japanese girls, but today she finished a whole bowl of noodles and even drank half of the soup. After burping with her hands covering her mouth, Chuhua looked at Liu Hao a little embarrassedly.

"You have something else to ask me, right?"

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Well, there are some things about the entertainment industry that I want to confirm with you."

Volume 272: Chapter 4 Chapter Entertainment Circle and the Thief (k)

Japan's entertainment industry, like its society, is rigidly structured and clearly divided into different classes.

Generally speaking, when popularity is similar, the classification by status is actors > singers > comedians > idols.

Of course, this is just a general situation. Specific matters are often more complicated. For example, singer-songwriters obviously have a very high status, and stage play and Kabuki actors are like national teams. Many of them are inherited from elite families and have received various awards such as the Order of Purple Ribbon and the Order of Culture.

Another category is comedians. Unlike actors and singers who often have to rush to work, comedians often have greater stability in variety shows and higher incomes. They can also transition into hosting roles later in life. Age is largely unaffected by this, and they often become more popular as they age. Some nationally recognized comedians hold significant status within the industry, such as the renowned director Takeshi Kitano, who is also a comedian.

However, no matter how you divide it, idols are at the bottom of the entertainment industry, only slightly higher than photo models.

Moreover, once an idol, always an idol. Although many predecessors have reached the pinnacle as idols and proved their strength with sweat and achievements, the fact is that idols are at the bottom of the contempt chain in the Japanese entertainment industry, and they must be outstanding enough to fight their way out.

Liu Hao had already found some information about the Japanese entertainment industry, including Wakaba and Mori Minami's resumes, reputations, scandals, resources, etc. However, these were just theory after all, so he needed to find someone who really understood the entertainment industry to ask.

Although Sanjiao Chuhua has only been in the industry for a year, because he is a popular but relatively low-level idol, he must understand the rules of the entertainment industry. He cannot lose face but also has to respect his predecessors.

Morisaki Agency is an established agency with decades of experience in the industry. Its agent, Ms. Haruko, is also very dedicated and often educates Sumimi's two idols about things to pay attention to in the circle. Therefore, Chuhua is very knowledgeable in this regard, which is exactly what Liu Hao needs.

In the entertainment industry, Ruoye Mu's parents both have extraordinary status.

Minami Mori has a certain national popularity. Although she is not a top actress, her traffic and resources have been declining recently due to her acting skills and comfort zone, but her status as a senior here still makes her a hot topic.

Ruoye is not an ordinary comedian. She has her own regular program, but as a long-term guest, she is not considered a host. Although she cannot be said to be top-notch, she is still a relatively famous comedian.

So Wakaba and Mori Minami are indeed a good match. They are not top stars, but they are the backbone of the Japanese entertainment industry.

Before, Liu Hao just wanted to help Ruoye Mu rebel against his parents, and the purpose of the rebellion was not to turn against him, but to change Ruoye Mu's current situation and repair their deadlocked family relationship. Liu Hao did not need much recognition from the Ruoye couple, because the key was that Ruoye Mu himself had to be brave.

But things are different now. If Liu Hao wants to achieve his goal, he must have a certain status and even be strong.

When facing different opponents, one must change the corresponding tactics. The Ruoye couple are richer and have higher social status than Su Shi's mother, but their family affection is much weaker. From their attitude towards Ruoye Mu, it can be clearly felt that the couple has been alienated by the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry, and regards career and reputation as the most important things.

Originally, Liu Hao planned to use his current achievements as a starting point, whether it was his songwriting ability or his potential as an idol, as the basis for subsequent development.

However, Liu Hao soon realized that this idea was too conservative. The so-called making a name for himself in the entertainment industry to gain the recognition of Ruoye Mu's parents, not to mention how long it would take, just stepping into the entertainment industry is equivalent to getting into shackles. He must abide by the rules of the entertainment industry. No matter how great his achievements are in the future, the Ruoye couple are seniors in the entertainment industry. In a society where seniority is the basis of rank, Liu Hao will never be able to turn things around.

If you have a transcendent body, you must do transcendent things.

Of course, there is another reason. Liu Hao's current achievements are largely accidental. For example, the identity of a singer-songwriter is of course higher than that of an idol. However, when Liu Hao tried to write a sister song of "Love Training" for Sumimi to strike while the iron is hot, he had no inspiration at all.

Maybe he is really a genius, but he is definitely an emotional genius. When he has no emotions, he may run out of ideas.

Not to mention acting, singing, or idol careers which require a lot of time.

It is a foolish choice to gamble on the future with this unknown, which is equivalent to using one's own weakness to attack the enemy's strength.

So what is Liu Hao’s biggest reliance now?

Naturally, it's gravity. [Unrelated text follows:] Unicom packages, especially the information gap between the two worlds. It's not just about macroeconomic conditions like the economy and global situation. Liu Hao can also predict the direction of the entertainment industry, such as which TV series will be a hit or which movie will be a blockbuster... A single profit is never a natural solution; instead, one should tie the interests of the majority to one's own interests. Liu Hao's additional investment in Morisaki Office is his first step. The money earned from speculation complies with the Japanese government's call to develop entertainment, and can be considered taking from the people and using it for their benefit.

It’s just that those who invest in domestic entertainment can be coal bosses, real estate developers, and Internet tycoons. Anyway, as long as they have money, they can become investors. However, the Japanese entertainment industry is different. The circle has basically solidified and is even xenophobic. In other words, even if you want to invest, you have to become an "insider" in the circle.

This is Liu Hao’s idea. Don’t be bound by your own identity. It doesn’t matter whether you are an idol, a singer-songwriter, or a band guitarist. The important thing is to leave a certain reputation in the industry, and then invest as an “insider” and be an outsider in the circle.

Only in this way can he be free from the constraints of the rules of the entertainment industry and escape his weak position facing Wakaba Mu's parents.

Through chatting with Sanjiao Chuhua, Liu Hao once again confirmed the correctness of this information. With the double source verification, Liu Hao also completely determined the future plans.

So after obtaining Chuhua's consent, Liu Hao will attend the Yokohama Music Festival this time, to make himself familiar with her first, and by the way, to test whether Mana is a member of the Gravity Connection Package. Of course, even if there is no music festival this time, Liu Hao will regret his previous rejection of the agency's invitation and participate in Sumimi's affairs.

He held his chin and thought for a long time. When he came to his senses, Liu Hao found himself sitting on the sofa in Chu Hua's living room. The hostess was nowhere to be seen, which showed how long he had been sitting there in a daze.

He raised his hands high and stretched.

Liu Hao suddenly felt a little emotional. It turned out that his original intention of intervening in this world was to be infected by the distorted youth of the girls. He wanted to ignite his passion again and help these girls get out of the troubles of youth. Gradually, he formed his own band and began to want to teach financial speculators a lesson and show the strength of the Riverside Wolf. However, he only made money secretly and did not want to have much presence in this parallel world. Until now, he began to deeply intervene in this world, and even distorted his original intention of becoming a programmer. An engineering student must build a career in the field of liberal arts.

Step by step, I have to go deeper and deeper. Am I being led by the girls in the Gravity Unicom package?

Liu Hao gave himself the middle finger and smiled self-deprecatingly, because he knew that his thoughts were pretentious. Of course, it didn't count. Based on his own personality, he did things that were in line with his wishes, which was just natural.

"Chuhua?"

Liu Hao wasn't sure whether Chu Hua had gone to sleep, so he stood up and called out softly, but received no response.

"I'm going to leave now... Are you in the room?"

After knocking gently on the bedroom door, Liu Hao was of course embarrassed to go directly into the girl's boudoir. It turned out that the Gravity Connection Package was too limited. It would be great if it could be evolved so that he could travel directly through time without having to make a phone call.

There was the sound of a door opening behind him. Liu Hao turned around naturally and looked over. He and the person opposite him were both stunned.

The wet blonde hair was scattered on both shoulders. The triangle Chuhua who had just come out of the bath was only wrapped in a white bath towel, which covered most of the important bulge and only slightly revealed a beautiful ravine.

Chu Hua was obviously as surprised as Liu Hao. Her moist red lips were slightly parted, and a drop of wet water slid down from the hair stuck to her forehead beside her bright purple eyes, gradually moving across her cheek and neck, naturally attracting Liu Hao's attention. His eyes were filled with the round, white shoulders, the delicate and sexy collarbone covered by the bath towel, the large expanses of white skin, and the slender legs that were even whiter than the bath towel.

It was Chu Hua who opened the door. She saw Liu Hao's back first, so she was the first to react. Her right hand subconsciously grasped the upper half of the bath towel to cover her looming career line. However, such a reserved action made the girl look like a little bird, delicate and pitiful. Compared with Chu Hua's usual unrestrained style, this pure and lustful temperament is irresistible.

With such a beautiful scene before him, Liu Hao felt that all the blood in his body was pumped up and down by his rapidly beating heart. However, he was a well-tested great magician after all. Although he reacted a little slower than Chu Hua, he was the first to arrive.

"Bliss!"

Liu Hao restrained his gaze and looked only at Chuhua's face, saying in an appreciative tone, "There is no one like him before or after. My life as a fan of Sumimi is complete."

Chuhua's face was already red after the bath, which effectively concealed her shyness. After hearing Liu Hao's words, the idol who had seen a lot of things came to his senses and also joked: "Mana is not here again, does this mean that everything is perfect?"

"Don't be too greedy. Just about enough is enough."

"When you say something like that, it doesn't sound convincing at all." Chu Hua teased, "Isn't that right, Mr. San Tiao Fune?"

Liu Hao said shamelessly: "That's different. Although I am fickle in love, I have always been a single idol supporter."

"Because you don't know any other idols, right?"

"That's because you can tell without even looking. It's nothing compared to Sumimi."

"Humph~"

Chu Hua snorted playfully, knowing that he could not compare to Liu Hao in terms of tough talk, but the bickering did ease a lot of the awkward atmosphere.

"I'm going to go into the bedroom to change. How long are you going to be satisfied?"

"One second...Okay, one second is up."
