In Tokyo, there is a music girl training system

Unlike her usual calmness, today Toyokawa Shoko took the initiative to greet every classmate she met with a smile.

"Good morning, Xiangzi-san."

"Good morning!"

The smile on her face could not be concealed. Toyokawa Shoko was in a really good mood today. An investor was willing to believe in her, and Shoko was now full of expectations for the days ahead.

As she walked, a figure that was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar to Toyokawa Shoko appeared in her sight.

"..."

Looking at the other person's expression, which was as weak as a cute kitten with a hint of timidity, Toyokawa Shoko took the initiative to walk towards him.

On the other side, looking at Toyokawa Shoko walking towards her, the short-haired girl named Takamatsu Deng stood there nervously for a moment and began to panic.

"Um, Xiangzi..."

"Good morning."

Walking up to Takamatsu Deng, Toyokawa Shoko gently said good morning to Takamatsu Deng, and then she walked away before the other party could react.

Taking the initiative to greet Deng like this is the limit of what Xiangzi can do now.

Light, wait for me.

I will explain it to you all once I have everything sorted out...

Volume 1: Chapter 10: Add money! You must add money!

As soon as the school bell rang in Yuqiu, Toyokawa Shoko, who had been unable to sit still for a long time, hurriedly packed her things and walked out of the school quickly.

"Lu Yu, I'm here!"

When they arrived at the station where they had agreed to meet, Toyokawa Shoko immediately saw Saruba standing under the sign and eating a crepe.

After seeing Toyokawa Shoko, Sagi handed a packaged crepe to Toyokawa Shoko.

"Here, try this. I bought it when I just passed by. It tastes okay."

"Thank you."

Taking the crepe that Lu Yu handed to her, Toyokawa Shoko took a bite. It tasted like strawberry, sweet. It tasted really good. After eating a few bites, Toyokawa Shoko asked, "Lu Yu, according to what you said yesterday, I have to practice according to your arrangement from today, right?"

"Yes." Lu Yu stuffed the remaining crepe in his hand into his mouth and nodded.

He had already bought the piano for Toyokawa Shoko, and now he and Toyokawa Shoko were meeting to go to the store together to pick it up. Now that they had the instrument, the next thing was naturally to start coaching Shoko to practice according to the goals given by the system.

However, before officially starting training, Lu Yu still has one thing to do.

"Xiangzi, before we officially start, there is something very, very important I want to ask you."

Lu Yu looked at Toyokawa Shoko seriously, and after noticing Lu Yu's expression, Toyokawa Shoko's expression also became serious.

Very, very important thing?

What kind of things can be considered very, very important to Lu Yu?

Could it be that......

Toyokawa Shoko naturally equated the word "very important" with money.

Was the piano I bought yesterday too expensive?

Or did Lu Yu feel, after a night of thinking, that she actually had no potential?

"Wha...what's going on?"

Seeing the solemn expression on Lu Yu's face, Toyokawa Shoko's tone became a little weak.

Please, please.

Don’t let anything unexpected happen!

"Xiangzi!" Lu Yu shouted Toyokawa Xiangzi's name loudly.

"exist!"

After a few seconds, Lu Yu slowly asked, "How much salary do you want?"

"..."

"???"

"what?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko in a daze, Lu Yu looked over unhappily: "What? I asked you how much salary you want?"

Toyokawa Shoko was confused: "Salary? Do I still have a salary?"

Toyokawa Shoko never thought that the important thing that Ruyu mentioned was actually this?

What on earth is this person thinking?

It would have been fine if he had spent his own money to train me and bought me an expensive piano, but he actually asked me how much salary I wanted?

Doesn't he know that most musicians nowadays actually have no salary income?

"What else? Starting today, you have to quit your telephone customer service job and practice piano with me, right? How are you going to support yourself without a salary? I'm not a black-hearted capitalist. I won't give you less money than I should give you. Tell me, what is your expected salary?"

"salary......"

Seeing Ruyu's serious expression, Toyokawa Shoko realized that the other party was not joking.

After thinking about it, Toyokawa Shoko carefully held out two fingers and said, "Um, Sagiba, do you think this amount is okay?"

Twenty thousand yen.

This was a reasonable amount that Toyokawa Shoko had thought of. Her part-time income from a telephone customer service company was NT$30,000 a month. Now that she was quitting her job to concentrate on practicing the piano, she naturally could not ask for the same salary. So NT$20,000 should be just right.

Two hundred thousand?

"Hmm, let me think..."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's two fingers, Lu Yu immediately began to convert. 200,000 yen, according to the exchange rate before the time travel, is about 9,000 to 10,000 red notes.

This price is really not much, but unlike the money for buying a piano, this money cannot be counted as the training fund for Toyokawa Shoko, which means that this money is paid entirely by Lu Yu himself. The reason is also very simple, because the act of directly paying wages will be judged as a violation by the system.

Moreover, the act of paying Xiangzi a salary was essentially Luyu's personal judgment. You should know that Ai had no salary before, because Luyu at that time did not have personal funds at his disposal. So Luyu's method at that time was to pay Ai's salary by covering all of Ai's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But Xiangzi's situation is different from Ai's. Xiangzi is in great need of money now and has also quit his customer service job because of his own request, so Luyu naturally cannot let Xiangzi have no income.

broken!

I have no idea how much musicians here generally earn?

Two hundred thousand yen would have been less than ten thousand before the time travel. Isn't that a bit too little?

You have to know that if you pick any 18th-tier star or so-called artist in the Chinese entertainment industry, this amount of money probably wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth.

Thinking about it this way, Xiangzi is indeed a good girl. She must have been worried that she couldn't afford the money, so she deliberately mentioned such a low price!

Children of poor families have to grow up early. Is it because Xiangzi has experienced the hardships of poverty that he deliberately thinks of himself in this way?

Think about it, a piano cost several million yen yesterday. Xiangzi used to be a rich lady from a wealthy family. Compared with the broken piano yesterday, her value must have increased several times, right?

Pay more! You have to pay more!

This is Teacher Daxiang, the succubus king among the heavy girls. How can Cricket's 200,000 be worthy of her? But how much should I add? If I add less, it will not be enough. If I add more, my personal available funds may not last for a few months.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu slowly said: "Xiangzi, listen to me..."

As soon as she heard Ruyu's words, Toyokawa Shoko's heart sank.

Oh no, I really am asking for too much!

Most musicians in Tokyo don't have a salary now. The 20,000 yen base salary that I shamelessly asked for is too much! I should have asked for 10,000 or even a few thousand yen to barely have a meal. If you just eat rice and side dishes, a meal only costs about 300 yen.

"Xiangzi..."

"Regarding your salary, I know this may not be fair to you, but in fact, my budget is also tight in this regard..."

Toyokawa Shoko: “!!!”

"Lu Yu, I know, I don't need too much, you just need to give me one..."

Just when Toyokawa Shoko was about to change her mind and say that 10,000 yen a month would be enough, Sagiha's next sentence stunned Toyokawa Shoko.

"How about this, your salary will be set at 300,000 yen a month. I know this number is a little low for you, and it may only be enough for you to live. But the conditions are difficult now, so you should bear with it for now, okay?"

Toyokawa Shoko: “Ah???????”

Volume 1: Chapter 11: I can't even recruit a Paru

three......

Three hundred thousand? ! ! ! !

"!!!"

"is that a lie?"

A musician who earns 300,000 yen a month?

And there are still no achievements to cultivate promising seedlings for the future?

This price is unheard of even for Toyokawa Shoko when she was a rich lady, not to mention her current poverty.

Seeing the strange expression on Toyokawa Shoko's face, Lu Yu secretly cried out inwardly that something was wrong.

Is Xiangzi really a little dissatisfied?

Three hundred thousand is indeed too little. Converted into the Chinese currency, it is just over ten thousand.

At this price, it is difficult to recruit a Palu of 996 in several major cities these days, let alone Toyokawa Shoko, a talented musical girl with her own charming attributes.

But the problem is...

Lu Yu can’t take out more!

The only funds he had available were the one million yen or so after settling the reward from Hoshino Ai. If he added more, he really couldn't afford it.

"Xiangzi...listen to me..."

"I promise!"

"Ok?"

"30,000! My salary of 30,000 yen a month is enough!"

"Thirty thousand?!!!"

Now it was Lu Yu's turn to be confused.

Xiangzi wants a salary of 30,000 yen? Isn't that just over 1,000 yen?

More than a thousand dollars is not enough to buy a full meal in some places. How can the great Toyokawa Shoko, the heroine, the succubus teacher who is destined to become a great musician, only need more than a thousand dollars a month?

"No! Absolutely not! Two hundred thousand, Xiangzi, your salary is two hundred thousand, not a penny less!"

Lu Yu, who had originally planned to ask Xiangzi to give in, really shed tears.

What a good girl! She is willing to offer him a salary of 30,000 yen just to help him save money. How can he tolerate this?

Sagiba decided that even if he was the king today, he would still give Toyokawa Shoko a monthly salary of 200,000 yen.

Just when Lu Yu made up his mind to offer Toyokawa Shoko a salary of 200,000, ripples began to rise in Toyokawa Shoko's heart.

Three hundred thousand!

How much does Sagi Yu trust her to offer her a salary of 300,000 yen?

It's not even a question of belief. This salary is already at the level of being a second parent!

Sagiba is not clear about the current situation, but Toyokawa Shoko knows it very well.

In today's environment, no matter whether it is an idol, a singer or some so-called artist, they basically have no basic salary before they become famous. Even if they have a basic salary, they only have a little meager income to make a living.

Is 300,000 yen a lot? Yes, but not that much. This is the base salary!

Even if I become famous and sign a contract with a company, I'm afraid the basic salary I can get will be at this level, right?

How can this be called trust? This is simply giving money to yourself!
