"I was wondering how much favor you owe to that Kitagawa Kuo." Ijichi Xingge still thought that there was some kind of deal reached between Sagiba and Kitagawa Kuo.
"Don't worry, I don't owe that person any favor. Hmm? Wait, I have a call..."
At this moment, Sagi Yu found that his cell phone was ringing. Coincidentally, the caller was none other than Kitagawa Kuro, whom Ijichi Hoshige was talking about.
"Hey?"
"Kid, you are in Yoyogi Gymnasium, right? Where are you now?" On the other end of the phone, Kitagawa Kuo's tone and words were still as arrogant and domineering.
"Me? I'm in the audience watching the show now. What's wrong? Mr. Kitagawa, do you have any advice?"
Lu Yu chuckled, he heard the dissatisfaction in Kitagawa Kuo's tone. The song "This Game" by the Bond Band just now had already proved their strength, and now Kitagawa Kuo didn't even mention this matter.
"Come to the office now. It's the office where you signed the lease contract. It's for employees."
"Staff office? What are you going to do?"
"You'll know when you come. I'm waiting for you there. I'll give you five minutes. If you dare to be late, I'll kill you!" After saying that, Kitagawa Kuo hung up the phone.
"???"
This person is so weird?
"What's wrong?" Ijichi Hoshika asked, "Kitagawa Kuo wanted to see you?"
"Well, he's in the staff office. I'll go over there."
"Do you need me to come with you?"
"No need, it shouldn't be a big deal." Lu Yu shook his head.
"Then I'll go over there."
"Row."
After greeting Ijichi Hoshika, Ruyu also stood up from his seat slowly. In just five minutes, Ruyu arrived at the staff office that Kitagawa Kuo mentioned. As soon as he entered the office, Ruyu saw Kitagawa Kuo with short yellow hair standing among a large crowd of people.
"happiness......"
Ruyu was just about to ask Kitagawa Kuo what he wanted to do, but before he could finish, Kitagawa Kuo spoke first, and Kitagawa Kuo's words stunned Ruyu.
"That guitar player, are you selling him?"
"???"
"I want to ask you if you want to sell that guitar player. I like that little girl in pink. Name your price!"

Volume 4: Chapter : Refusing Moral Blackmail (K)
"..."
Seeing Kitagawa Kuo's attitude which didn't look like he was asking for help at all, Lu Yu was a little speechless.
No, brother, let’s not talk about whether I agree to sell the person or not. Your condescending tone makes you look like you want someone to kick you.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kitagawa, Ichiri is a very important band member to me, and I have no intention of transferring her." Lu Yu rejected Kitagawa Kuo in a dignified manner.
"Why not sell it? You must be short of money, right?"
"what?"
Lu Yu was stunned. He was short of money?
"Mr. Kitagawa, how did you know that I was short of money?"
"As for the tickets, if you're not short of money, why would you set the price at 5,000 per ticket? I've checked your two bands, and they're both performing independently for the first time. You set the ticket price so high for their first independent performance. Aren't you short of money?"
Lu Yu understood. It turned out that the idiot Kitagawa thought that he was short of money and that was why he deliberately charged high ticket prices to make money.
"No, Mr. Kitagawa, you may have misunderstood. I priced the tickets at this price because their performance is worth it. Mr. Kitagawa, you have seen the strength of these two bands. Do you think that performances of this level can be watched for only a few hundred yen?"
"..."
After being scolded by Ruyu, Kitagawa Kuo was stunned.
"What you said makes sense. Forget it. I don't want to argue with you. Are you really not going to sell that pink-haired girl? I promise you will be satisfied with the price. How about 30 million?"
"I said, I have no intention of transferring it."
Thirty million? Are you kidding me? Is this a matter of money?
He wouldn't sell it even for 300 million.
"Thirty million isn't enough? Then I'll give you another ten million, forty million. Is that enough?"
"Mr. Kitagawa, how many times do I need to tell you that I am not short of money, and I have no intention of transferring my band members..."
Just as Lu Yu was saying this, Kitagawa Kuo suddenly interrupted him: "Hey, do you know the value of that pink-haired girl? Did you know that she is a guitar master?"
"I know."
Sagi nodded. Of course he knew. If he didn't know, how could he have arranged for Goto Ichiri to be in charge of the opening solo of "This Game"?
To perform the opening part of the song "This Game" perfectly, one needs at least a master-level talent, like himself, and of course Goto Ichiri.
"Since you know her guitar skills, you should know that it's a waste for her to stay in this kind of band. The other three in the band are holding her back, you know?"
As a big name in the industry, Kitagawa Kou can naturally see that the remaining three members of the Bond Band are not as technically capable as Goto Ichiri. Although these three are also very good and qualified to perform on stage, they are still far behind Goto Ichiri who has already reached the level of a master.
Look at what the girls who are also masters are doing?
Ai Niino, the hottest idol at the moment who performed at Budokan and Tokyo Dome.
Shoko Toyokawa is currently recognized as a leader of the new generation in the piano world and is also the most popular female pianist at the moment.
Master, this is already the proof that one can become a symbol in a field, so in the eyes of Kitagawa Kuro, Goto Ichisato, who has reached the level of a master, has unlimited potential and value.
"Leave her to me. There's no need for her to improve her skills or level. All we need is for the agency to package and promote her. She will immediately become a popular musician. Do you know that?!"
Speaking of this, Kitagawa Kuo was a little excited. In fact, in his eyes, Goto Ichiri's value was far more than what he said.
He even thought that Goto Ichiri was still young, she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. If all went well, Goto Ichiri could make further breakthroughs, and then maybe she could really reach Roselia's level!
"I know."
Lu Yu was still very calm, and seeing Lu Yu's calmness, Kitagawa Kuo couldn't help it. He stood up from the chair and walked in front of Lu Yu.
"Since you know everything, you should hand her over to me. I have the Squirtle Idol Agency behind me, and I have inexhaustible resources. Although I don't know what your background is, I don't think you can do better than me in this regard!"
"Yes." Lu Yu nodded in acknowledgment. In terms of resources, the Squirtle Idol Agency was much stronger than his. It could be said that there were few agencies in Tokyo that were more powerful than the Squirtle Idol Agency.
"Her name is Goto Ichiri, right? Think about it. With her strength and looks, plus the promotion of Squirtle, it will only take one or two months for her to become famous in Tokyo. This is the most suitable path for her! I can see that she is very important to you. In this case, you should let this little girl go and let her go further!"
As an ace artist, Kitagawa Kuo is not without emotional intelligence and IQ, but his status is high enough so he doesn't need to do those superficial efforts. But now facing a 15-year-old guitar master, Kitagawa Kuo is moved, so here Kitagawa Kuo even does not hesitate to use his mouth to persuade Lu Yu.
However......
"I was the one who brought Yili up. I know her value very well, and I also know what path she should take. Mr. Kitagawa, what you said is very good, but I have my own ideas."
"You might ruin her future!"
"No, I don't think I will. Although I am not as good as Mr. Kitagawa in terms of resources as the Squirtle Idol Agency behind you, but I have my own methods, and I believe I can lead her to the top."
Lu Yu's tone was very calm, but even though it sounded calm, the firmness in his tone was something anyone could hear.
Kitagawa Koku's moral blackmail has no effect on him. He is not the kind of idiot man who will give up his people just because others say a few words for someone's good.
Goto Ichiri was someone he brought up personally, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his man.
It was, it is, and it will be in the future.
For Sagiba, even if Goto Ichiri himself asked to leave the Bond Band and join the Squirtle Idol Agency, he would try his best to dissuade Goto Ichiri from doing so.
Whether you say he is selfish or that he is ruining people's future, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that the person is his, and no one can get involved, at least until he leaves!
As for after he leaves, if it is Goto Ichiri's choice, then Sagiha can't do anything about it. The person is gone, so what is there to do?
"you are vicious!"
Seeing the expression on Lu Yu's face, Kitagawa Kuo, who is also a man, also knew what Lu Yu was thinking: "I hope you don't regret it. Don't let me see you begging me at the Squirtle's door in the future!"
Not being able to buy something is one thing, but whether or not to say harsh words is another. I was slapped in the face again today, so I will definitely say harsh words.
"Of course I won't regret it. By the way, I haven't thanked Mr. Kitagawa for your contribution to this concert yet."
Lu Yu looked at Kitagawa Kuo with a smile. This guy bought more than 200 tickets, each for 5,000 yen, which is a total of one million!
When Kitagawa Kuo heard Ruyu mention this, a look of ugliness was written all over his face. At this moment, his face was as gloomy as if he had eaten Olegai.
Finally, Kitagawa gritted his teeth and said, "It's worth it to watch a master guitarist's solo for 5,000 yen, not a loss, not a loss..."
Then Kitagawa Kuo left with his people in disgrace. With a master guitarist in charge, it would be strange if the performance was ruined.
"It's not a loss. If it's not a loss, I'd like to trouble Mr. Kitagawa to come and support us next time."
After Kitagawa Kuo left, Sagiba returned to the audience seats in the stadium. Both Sagiba and Kitagawa Kuo knew that Kitagawa Kuo had asked for it and he got it. As of now, the matter was actually over.
When Sagiba returned to the audience, Ijichi Hoshika immediately asked, "Did Kitagawa Kuo give you any trouble?"
"No." Lu Yu shook his head.
"What does he want from you?"
"Nothing, he just took a fancy to Bochi and wanted to ask me to buy Bochi from him."
Hearing this, Ijichi Hoshika immediately became alert. Kitagawa Kuo is not short of money. What if he offers an astronomical sum and bewitches Sagi Yu?
"You didn't agree, did you? How much did he ask?"
"Three thousand...oh, it was increased to forty million later."
"Forty million yen!?"
When Ichichi Hoshige heard this number, she was shocked. Forty million? Is that so much?!
"Lu Yu, you didn't promise him, did you?!"
Seeing the anxiety on Ijichi Hoshika's face, Sagiha smiled and replied, "No. How could I let Pochi go just for 40 million yen? She's a member of the Bond Band and one of my most cherished members. Let alone 40 million yen, I wouldn't sell her even if it was 400 million or 400 million yen."
"That's good, that's good..."
Ichichi Xingge gently stroked her chest, fortunately Lu Yu did not agree.
"Forty million yen, he's really willing to spend that."
"Who said it wasn't? Forget it, let's not talk about that idiot, Sister Xingge, let's just watch the show in peace."
Ijichi Hoshika nodded and said, that’s true, this is the guitarist who was reluctant to sell it for 40 million yen, look, you must see it!
About an hour later, amidst the audience's warm applause and cheers, the Bond Band's first performance came to a perfect end.
Because of the presence of an extraordinary guitarist, the performance of Bond Band this time was much better than that of Mygo!!!!! yesterday. After the regular performance, perhaps because of the discovery of Treasure Band, the audience kept singing encores.
In the end, the concert, which was originally expected to end in about an hour, was stretched to more than half an hour.
After the performance, the four little ones returned to the backstage and looked at each other. Seeing their companions who were also covered in sweat because of the performance, the four of them hugged each other without saying anything.
"Hongxia-senpai, Liang-senpai, Pochi-chan, we did it!"
The four people's clothes were already soaked at this time, and there were crystal beads of sweat on their foreheads. The air conditioner in the temporary preparation room backstage was whirring all the time, but even so, the excitement in the four people's hearts was difficult to calm down for a while.
“Everyone, thank you for your hard work!”
After the hug ended, Ijichi Hongxia's face was filled with a brilliant smile that could not be concealed. Today's performance was so successful that there was no need for anyone to comment on it. Just looking at the audience's performance, one could tell how successful this performance was.
At this moment, the door of the maintenance room was pushed open and the person who walked in was Ichichi Hoshige.
"Pinch sauce."
"Sister Xingge."
"Store manager!"
Looking at the four people with excitement on their faces, Ijichi Hoshika also had a smile on her face. The first independent performance of her sister's band was so successful. She was very happy both as a sister and as a shareholder of the band.
"Nie-chan, is the show over? Should we help clean up the venue together?"
As the captain, Ijichi Hongxia asked very sensibly.
"We need to clean up the place, but that's not your job. Leave the rest to the adults. By the way, I have a room in the hotel next door. You four can go and clean up. Here's the room card."
