Tokyo's most affectionate

"We can celebrate, but we can't drink anymore."

Although Ninomiya Chizuru was a little jealous, she was not actually angry. She was not that narrow-minded, so she just said it anyway.

"what?"

When Igarashi Runa heard this, her originally happy expression suddenly fell.

"If you get drunk again, you'll have to ask Kurosawa to carry you home. It's not good to trouble him."

"I can sleep here. The bed is made."

"If you want to drink, drink it."

Ninomiya Chizuru realized that she was really happy and had to drink to celebrate, and there was nothing she could do about it.

After all, she and Runa are best friends, not sisters, nor mother and daughter, so she has no right to restrict each other.

"No need to drink. I have to work as a part-time driver to take you home tonight. What do you want to eat?"

Seeing that she compromised, Igarashi Runa was relieved immediately, probably because she was no longer angry. She smiled and then picked up her cell phone and shook it.

After a week, the huge rock that had been hanging in my heart finally fell and I could finally hold my head high.

With her smug laughter, the atmosphere in the lounge became completely liberated and relaxed.

They were not very particular about what to eat for dinner. After all, they were not so upper-class that meals had to be complicated, so they just randomly chose home-cooked dishes.

……

As a first-class firm in the industry, Fantasy Star Agency always pays attention to every potential newcomer and popular trends in the society.

They will also pay attention to newcomers on YouTube, and if they have potential, they will consider signing them.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Mia Hamada had already returned home, but was still working in the study.

She sat in front of her laptop, her phone logged into the company's group chat software.

The chairman of Phantom Star Agency sent a voice message in the group chat: "At midnight, he introduced himself in Japanese, which means Japanese... I don't know who he is, can anyone guess?"

After listening to the voice message, Mia Hamada was about to say something when someone else took the lead.

"He's wearing a mask, and his piano skills are so strong. And it's happening at this time. Could it be the Kurosawa Hikaru who was rejected by Phantom Star?"

"This guy!"

Hearing this, Hamada Mia was immediately furious and frowned.

"Absolutely impossible. Kurosawa Hikaru's level is far inferior to his. The two are not even on the same level."

The next moment, she spoke on the phone, sending out a voice message that was extremely firm.

"They are indeed not on the same level. If Kurosawa Hikaru is a young genius, then this Reitoki is a piano master. Looking around Japan, there are only a handful of pianists who can be compared with him."

The chairman also understands music and agrees with her opinion.

Then, the chairman spoke again:

"Piano music has been silent for many years, but it still has such a terrifying energy. His appearance will probably bring a storm to the Japanese music scene... Let's get in touch with him. Even if we can't cooperate, it won't hurt to try to make friends."

"Masked artists can actually burst out with such terrifying energy... I always feel that by missing out on Kurosawa Hikaru, we have missed a new flight in the piano world."

At this moment, the director who was at odds with her was making trouble again, saying some unpleasant words, but in fact he was making innuendos.

"Asshole, don't let me get the chance!"

Hearing such targeted and disgusting words, Hamada Mia glared and said fiercely.

Chapter 144: Three Hundred Million to Buy Music Score

The takeaway from Neon was very slow and took half an hour to arrive.

That being said, although the delivery time is long, the dishes can be very exquisite.

However, no matter how much food there was, Igarashi Runa had no interest in eating.

"Hahaha."

Sitting on a high seat in the lounge, she couldn't stop smiling as she ate and watched the number of video views increase.

"Don't look at it, finish eating first."

Seeing her silly look, Ninomiya Chizuru pushed her with her hand.

"It's okay, you guys eat."

However, Igarashi Runa's eyes seemed to be engraved on the screen.

Every time the video is refreshed and the number of views increases, for her, the attraction is like seeing the balance of her bank card increase.

"Ms. Runa must have watched enough videos."

Kurosawa Hikaru was actually quite excited, but because of her presence, he was much calmer and joked.

Anyway, today was a great victory. Although there was no clear opponent, it was a good start.

As for his piano skills, he has no idea how far he can go, so he will just take it one step at a time.

"Feel sorry."

Ninomiya Chizuru felt a little ashamed when she heard this teasing.

"Why do you say that?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little confused.

"She was overexcited."

Ninomiya Chizuru felt her face getting a little hot, not because of herself, but because of her best friend.

After all, it was she who introduced Runa to Kurosawa Hikaru... In the past, Runa's performance was always good, but today she went berserk.

"This is a good thing. It's really worth getting excited about."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't feel anything about this. Although Miss Runa was a little crazy tonight, she was still quite cute.

In fact, thanks to the wingman and assistance from the amusement park, he and Miss Ninomiya always have smooth interactions, and he is very grateful to Miss Runa.

On that day at the amusement park, he kept thinking that he would definitely repay her when he had the chance in the future.

And now, he has undoubtedly been rewarded with success... Although it has not yet been converted into actual money, his performance has undoubtedly injected a powerful energy into this firm that has not yet started its business, allowing it to stand firm.

"That review said you were world class...how are you so good?"

Seeing that he didn't care, Ninomiya Chizuru stopped dwelling on the matter and asked instead.

"It's my talent, and I've practiced for a long time before." Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled.

"Your talent is really outrageous. Not only did you get into the University of Tokyo and become a top student, but you can also sing and play the piano. What's even more outrageous is that you can compose music and even improvise it."

When Igarashi Runa heard this, she turned around with a look of amazement.

To be frank, the best boy she has ever met in her life is undoubtedly Kurosawa Hikaru.

As an agent, she has seen many outstanding talents, but no one has ever been able to compare with this guy.

"He can even draw and do Kyudo...and his Kyudo skills seem to be pretty good too." Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but nod her head at this statement, and added with some joy and pride in her heart.

Because last week, Kurosawa Hikaru asked for the phone number of Uesugi, the consultant and coach of the Kyudo Club.

She tried to find out some information this week. It seemed that Mr. Uesugi thought very highly of Kurosawa Hikaru and thought he was a genius.

"How's the data?" Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled and did not continue the topic.

"You're so humble..." Seeing that he could resist boasting and being conceited, Igarashi Runa looked at him sideways.

"As I expected, after the video was on the front page, the number of views began to soar, and the number of fans also soared... This cover of ours is really amazing. With a fixed camera position, we were able to take such a magical picture. God really helped us."

Immediately, Igarashi Runa also said with a smile.

“That cover is really nice.”

Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but agree.

Until now, she can still recall how she felt when she saw that photo.

That artistic conception, that aura, that atmosphere, are simply tailor-made for the piano.

Having loved piano since childhood, she instinctively liked the photo and even thought it was a work of art.

Should we say that Kurosawa Hikaru is too good at playing the piano? The first experimental shoot was able to achieve such amazing results.

"I didn't expect it to be so good." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly.

In fact, after the reward for entry-level photography changed from a trial card to a permanent one, he has truly understood what photography is.

Although it was at a national level, the setting and his outfit at that time were so suitable.

The Steinway grand piano plays an important role and looks very classy as a background.

"Unknown caller...Who is this?"

At this moment, the cell phone in Igarashi Runa's pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and took a look at it, then felt strange.

"Shh~"

Although she didn't know who it was, it was a work phone after all, so she motioned for the two to keep quiet, turned on the speaker, put it on the desk, and answered the call.

"Hello, hello." Igarashi Runa instantly put away her excitement and became calm and composed.

The change in expression was so great that Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but take a second look.

"Hello, I'm Mai Ezaki, the head of MAPIA's Neon Division. I'd like to talk to Mr. Reitoki about cooperation. Is that convenient?"

Then, a sweet and pleasant female voice was heard from the phone.

"I'm his agent, Igarashi Runa. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me."

"Ms. Igarashi? Are you Fujiwara Rikka's agent at Phantom Star Agency?"

"Yes, but I am now the sole agent of Zero Hour and no longer a member of Phantom Star Agency."

Igarashi Runa was not surprised to find out that the other party knew her, and clarified her position and identity.

Perhaps people outside the industry are not very familiar with her name unless they deliberately look it up, but in the industry, she is still well-known.

"It's like this. Our company has a platform that is the largest music score platform in Asia. Its main purpose is to protect the copyright interests of musicians. After discussion, our company plans to purchase the score of "Croatian Rhapsody" by Mr. Ling Shi for 300 million yen. What do you think?"

After explaining their identities to each other, Mai Ezaki stated her purpose and made a sincere offer.

"Three hundred million?"

Hearing the price, Igarashi Runa raised her eyebrows slightly.

Kurosawa Hikaru and Ninomiya Chizuru next to them looked at each other and were a little surprised.

Although they knew that the video was popular, wasn't the money coming too quickly?

"I will convey this matter to Mr. Lingshi and give you a reply later. I am still busy. Let's stop here for now. Sorry."

After thinking about it, Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, briefly expressed her meaning, and hung up the phone.

"Why did he hang up? That's 300 million, isn't that just a direct agreement?" Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't understand.

He originally thought that Miss Runa would agree, but he didn't expect that when faced with 300 million, she would just procrastinate and hang up.

Ninomiya Chizuru also nodded in agreement, her beautiful eyes behind her frameless glasses showing a hint of surprise, she had never seen an investment that could yield several times the return so quickly.

Although the actual profit is unlikely to be several times higher after equity distribution and tax payment, the effect is very quick.

"If you sell the score to them, then Croatian Rhapsody will no longer be a piano piece that belongs exclusively to you. Others can buy it and play it. When you perform a few more pieces of your piece and we release an album, the revenue will be far more than this. We won't sell it for 300 million, let alone 1 billion."

Seeing their surprised and amateurish reactions, Igarashi Runa explained.

Selling music scores? What a joke! This is Zero Time's debut hit song, the most valuable work. How could it be sold for a mere 300 million yen?

"what……"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised to see her unmoved reaction, but he no longer thought about selling it.

According to this statement, if you keep this song, you can play the long game to catch the big fish... It is really not worth it to sell it directly for 300 million.

In fact, he was more surprised by Miss Runa's sudden calmness.

He was as excited as a child just now, but now he has turned into an extremely shrewd businessman... Is this the demeanor that a gold medal agent should have?

"You are already famous. It is only a matter of time before you make money. There is no need to rush. Let's take it slow."
