In Tokyo, there is a music girl training system

"Lu Yu." After calling the other person's name, Xiangzi quickly walked to Lu Yu's side.

Seeing Xiangzi coming to his side, Lu Yu didn't waste any more words: "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Toyokawa Shoko was a little confused. Didn't Lu Yu say that he wanted to discuss the next itinerary with her?

"Go prepare for your next performance..."

After saying that, Lu Yu directly took Xiangzi's right hand and dragged her into a taxi.

"My two guests, where are you going?"

"Ginza."

"Okay~"

Going to Ginza?

When Shoko Toyokawa heard the place that Sagiba mentioned, she was stunned. Why would they go to Ginza at this time?

"Lu Yu, are you planning to buy anything?"

Ginza is a major commercial district in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Known as "the most expensive place in Asia", Ginza is famous for its high-end shopping stores, where famous brands from all over the world gather and it also symbolizes Japan's prosperity.

When Lu Yu was going to Ginza, the first thing Xiangzi thought of was what Lu Yu wanted to buy.

"I was planning to buy something, but not for me, but for you."

"Give me?!"

"Ah."

About half an hour later, Lu Yu brought Xiangzi to the door of a store called Snidel in Ginza. Standing at the door of the store and looking at the high-end fabrics and women's clothing of various styles displayed in the store, Lu Yu could already smell the smell of money burning even before entering the store.

Lu Yu checked and found that Snidel is known as the most popular brand for Japanese girls. The brand's slogan is: inspired by foreign street fashion, "street formal" as the concept, in the tasteful clothes, there are individual propositions that attract women's hearts. The persistent pursuit of details and luxurious tailoring are to satisfy and please women's sense of the times, and constantly spread the message of street fashion.

Well, in Lu Yu’s eyes, all these words can actually be summarized in two words: beautiful and expensive.

Fortunately, buying these clothes for Xiangzi can be regarded as expenses for performance costumes. Otherwise, with the little money he has left, he might only be able to buy the cheapest jacket in Snidel.

"This is it. Let's go."

Without giving Xiangzi a chance to say anything, Lu Yu grabbed Xiangzi's right hand and walked into Snidel's shop.

"Welcome~!"

The service in the luxury store was very good. As soon as the two entered the store, the receptionist walked up to Lu Yu and Xiangzi with a smile on his face.

"Hello, sir and madam, welcome to Snidel. What kind of clothes would you like to buy?"

In response to the salesperson's question, Lu Yu did not answer but said to Toyokawa Shoko: "Shoko, you can choose whatever clothes you want."

I came here to buy costumes for Xiangzi for his performance. Although the shopping guide's recommendations might be more suitable, Lu Yu knew that every woman has her own unique taste in clothes, so it would be better to let Xiangzi choose by himself.

Xiangzi did not choose clothes for Luyu's words. She just looked at Luyu with some doubts: "Why are you buying clothes for me?"

"Of course it's for the performance. You don't plan on wearing your school uniform during the performance, do you?"

"show?"

"Yes, oh, I forgot to tell you, I have booked a live house for you. In the next few months, you may have to perform about three shows every month."

"Live house? Three piano performances a month?"

Hearing what Sagiba said, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned again.

"Hmm? What's wrong Xiangzi? Is there a problem? Are three performances too many? A performance doesn't need to be too long. You can probably play for about half an hour."

"No, no..." Xiangzi shook her head. She didn't think three performances were too many, she thought three were too few!

There are only three performances a month, and each performance only takes about half an hour. With this intensity, it must be difficult to maintain health so easily, right?

Toyokawa Shoko said softly, "I'm just a little surprised to hear you mention this all of a sudden. There's nothing wrong with this arrangement."

Although it is a bit strange for a pianist to perform in a live house, I am not a well-known artist, and it is normal for me to perform by myself under the current circumstances.

Toyokawa Shoko was not against performing. Rather, she was happy to hear that she could perform, because in Shoko's opinion, performing meant making a profit. Even if only one ticket was sold, she was giving back to Lu Yu, which was very important to her.

"If there is no problem, you can choose your performance costumes by yourself. By the way, Xiangzi, remember to pick a few sets so that you can change into different new clothes for each performance."

"I see."

Since Lu Yu said so, Toyokawa Shoko naturally began to choose carefully. However, Shoko discovered a problem as soon as he took a look, that is, the clothes in this store had no price tags, which made him feel a little strange.

So Xiangzi quietly walked to Luyu and whispered in a voice that only she and Luyu could hear: "Luyu, the clothes in this store don't seem to have price tags. Will this be very expensive?"

Even though she was a rich girl before, it doesn't mean that Xiangzi knows every luxury brand in Tokyo, and Snidel happens to be one of the brands that Xiangzi doesn't know much about.

"No, absolutely not!" Lu Yu naturally wouldn't tell Xiangzi that Snidel was a luxury store. "The clothes in this store are not expensive, just pick whatever you want, pick as many as you can as soon as possible, um, let me think... pick ten sets first!"

Xiangzi's daily outfit now is either the school uniform or the white long-sleeved sweater and the gray short skirt that Lu Yu is tired of seeing. Lu Yu feels sorry for the little clothes he has.

Buy it. Anyway, there is still plenty of funds for Xiangzi's training, and it is not a waste of money to spend it on her.

Must buy, buy everything!

Volume 1: Chapter 30 Can she still pay it back?

"Xiangzi, can we just put the clothes here?"

"Uh-huh!"

After buying clothes and returning home, Lu Yu carried bags of clothes upstairs and entered Xiangzi's room. It was said that since Xiangzi moved in, Lu Yu had never entered this house, which was originally used as Xiangzi's piano practice room.

Logically speaking, as the landlord and Toyokawa Shoko's angel investor, he should come in to see how Shoko is practicing the piano whenever he wants. However, because there is a system that can display Shoko's current ability value in real time, Lu Yu has never come in even once based on the principle of not entering a girl's room casually.

Walking into the room, Lu Yu looked at the furnishings in the room. Although he had not lived there for long, the room had changed a lot. The room was clean and tidy, and the furniture was neatly arranged. It could be said that Xiangzi's move in had brought a new look to the room.

"I'll put the clothes here. I'll be out first."

After putting the clothes next to the closet in this room, Lu Yu walked out consciously. Although he actually wanted to see what Xiangzi would look like after taking off his original skin and putting on new clothes, such an opportunity might come in the future, so there was no need to rush.

Just after Ruyu left the room, Toyokawa Shoko heard the footsteps of Ruyu going downstairs outside the door. Then she gently closed the door and took out a notebook with a combination lock from her schoolbag.

After entering a string of numbers, Xiangzi opened his notebook, took out a pen from his schoolbag and began to record today's content.

[May 5, sunny. Today, Lu Yu took me to buy a lot of new clothes. I thought these clothes were expensive at first, but Lu Yu lied to me and said they were cheap. Then when I paid the bill, I saw that he paid a total of 31 yen. What a liar...]

After writing this sentence, Xiangzi continued writing on another line, [Additional amount owed: 770,000 yen.]

"Another seventy-seven yen..."

Putting down the pen, Xiangzi's expression was a little subtle. It seemed that she owed Luyu more and more money.

After flipping through the records on the previous few pages, Toyokawa Shoko roughly added the previously recorded amount and today's amount together and made an estimate in her mind. Then, Toyokawa Shoko got a number that gave her a headache.

Over 700, close to 8 million yen.

Before she knew it, she already owed Lu Yu so much money...

If this number is expanded any further, it will be comparable to the debt her family owes!

Can I still pay it off?

Looking at this number, Xiangzi became a little unconfident. She had sworn to return the money that Luyu had spent on her. Not only that, she even planned to repay him with many times the amount.

But......

Now it seems that if I stay with Ruyu, the money I owe Ruyu will only increase. If this continues, by the time she becomes famous, she might owe tens of millions or even hundreds of millions yen.

Toyokawa Shoko: “…”

If that really comes to pass, is there any possibility for her to pay it back?

At this moment, Xiangzi suddenly felt that the debt owed by his family was not a big deal. After all, although the debt was large, at least it would not increase indefinitely.

But the money owed to Ruyu is different. Ruyu spends money lavishly. Even the clothes he buys for her are very expensive luxury goods. When he takes her and Dongma and Sa out to eat, they always go to Michelin restaurants. He is just like the ancient Greek god of money!

After taking a look at the packaged clothes placed next to the closet, Xiangzi's uneasy heart calmed down a little.

"I'm going to perform soon."

"fine......"

"As long as we perform, it should bring profits to Lu Yu!"

I must work hard and perform with all my might no matter what. Even if I only earn a hundred yen, at least I am giving something back to Lu Yu.

"Come on, Toyokawa Shoko!"

Thinking of this, Shoko Toyokawa closed the notebook, locked it again, and put it in her schoolbag.

"Okay! Start practicing!"

At this moment, Xiangzi didn't even care about the clothes she had carefully selected. The luxury clothes worth a total of 770,000 yen were ignored by Xiangzi. Now Xiangzi's mind was full of working hard and making money for Lu Yu through performances.

Soon the melodious piano music began to echo in the house. However, Xiangzi didn't know that the performance arranged by Luyu for her was not what she thought. Her idea of ​​making money for Luyu through the performance was actually not feasible at all...

Although Toyokawa Shoko was well aware that the performances arranged for her by Sagiba would not make any money from the beginning and would even cost her a lot of money, at least she was practicing the piano diligently.

Xiangzi's life was actually very fulfilling afterwards. She was the first person to get up in the family every morning. After getting up, she would start preparing her own lunch box for the day, and then prepare breakfast for the two adults in the family who could not cook.

After coming back from school in the evening, Xiangzi would practice the piano for an hour regularly, then start preparing dinner. Then, after everyone had finished dinner, he would return to his room to continue practicing the piano.

Although this kind of life is a bit busy, Xiangzi is very satisfied. Lu Yu and teacher Dong Ma and Sha are very kind to her. Although there is no blood relationship between the three members of this family, this kind of home is more like a real home than the place full of beer cans and the so-called "father".

Time passed quickly, and more than ten days had passed. With Touma Kazusa's almost hands-on guidance and Shoko's own continuous efforts, Shoko's piano playing level improved very quickly.

All of this was also fed back to Lu Yu through system prompts.

【Name: Toyokawa Shoko】

[Current piano playing level: Excellent↑ (21%)]

"It's already 21 percent."

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko had already reached 21% of the progress, Lu Yu was quite pleased.

She is truly a genius musical girl. Now Xiangzi's promotion speed is much faster than that of Hoshino Ai back then. But this is normal. After all, Xiangzi has a pianist who is about to reach perfection as her tutor, while Ai back then only had Eripiyo, who is almost a die-hard fan, and Ruyu herself.

Eripiyo is definitely unable to support Ai technically, and Sagiha is not proficient since it is her first time so her contribution to Ai is limited. Ai is actually very talented, because she has reached where she is now with only Sagiha's assistance, which shows that she is also a talented and excellent Ai Doulu.

Different combinations will naturally have different effects. If Ai's lineup at that time was gold, then Xiangzi's current lineup is diamond, so it is not surprising that Xiangzi has such a speed of promotion.

"The timing is about right. Let's do it this weekend. It's also time for Xiangzi to have her first piano performance..."

Volume 1: Chapter 31: The performance officially begins

"Manager Xingge, regarding my sister's first performance, I would like to arrange it on Saturday or the weekend this week. Is that convenient for you?"

In the lobby of Starry, Sagiba and Ichichi Hoshika are discussing the details of Shoko's first performance.

"Mr. Lu Yu, the time you mentioned is fine, but..."

"Just what?"

"Just are you sure you want to hold the show the way you said?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

No problem. Of course, this matter is no problem at all for Ichichi Xingge.

It would be better to say that Ijichi Hoshika is very happy now, because she has carefully calculated the costs in the past few days, and the budget of 3,500 yen per customer that she had imagined before was actually too much.

Three thousand yen.

After the unremitting efforts of Ijichi Hoshika, the budget for one customer's expenses was finally reduced to 3,000 yen, which meant that she could earn a lot more money from Sagiba.

But it was precisely because she earned too much that Yiji Zhixingge felt a little embarrassed. She was not a black-hearted person. In her eyes, Lu Yu's operation, which was obviously throwing money into the water, made Yiji Zhixingge feel a little guilty.

Ichichi Hoshige has her own creed and professional ethics!

If she could have stopped someone from doing something stupid but didn't do it in order to make money, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life!

Ichichi Xingge shook her head: "No problem, I just hope you can think about it again, Mr. Luyu. After all, the amount is huge, I think..."

"Don't think about it, just do as we agreed before."

Before Ichichi Seika could finish, Lu Yu interrupted her.

He finally confirmed the performance, and now he is waiting for Xiangzi to come and trick more fans so that he can complete the task sooner.

Asking him to reconsider at this critical moment? Should he consider investing another 10 million to double Xiangzi's concert?

"Oh well......"
