Please make money.

Alia looked at the two and suddenly realized - this was the way a tsundere mother and a tsundere daughter get along!

She was holding the food tray and wanted to avoid disturbing the loving mother and daughter, but she didn't expect the other party to raise her hand and ask her to sit down.

"You are Xiaoyu's friend, right?"

"..." Ailia blinked. It's not the right time yet.

Your daughter and I only have a business relationship.

Sometimes she paid for it - inviting masters to compose music for her.

Sometimes I pay for her to help me compose the music.

The director rubbed his forehead and thought, it’s over. I must not mess with this rich girl.

"Thank you for putting up with Xiaoyu's bad temper."

Fortunately, Mr. Fujisawa probably knew that his daughter had a bad temper, so he just tried to be a parent with normal emotional intelligence.

Are you playing with my kids?

Thank you, and have fun - that's about it.

Ailia looked at Fujisawa Yu with a little surprise.

Is your mother so well-educated?

I’m sorry, I haven’t had my mom for a while, and I’m not really used to this overflowing feeling of motherly love.

Perhaps to 'thank' the younger generation, the dishes ordered by Mr. Fujisawa were very luxurious.

To some extent, Alia even tasted the food at the level of the chef of her own Hoshino Resort Hotel.

Hmm...it's quite subtle...I'm increasingly tempted to buy this crappy company, what should I do?

Their executives are smart, their directors are capable, and their composers are talented.

Even now the cafeteria chefs are very good!

I'll go back and ask the Suzuki Group about the price...

Compared to the two girls, Managing Director Fujisawa and the Director ate very slowly.

Especially General Manager Fujisawa, who kept answering phone calls from time to time and seemed very busy.

Moreover, the tone of voice when making phone calls is mostly decisive and strong.

If you didn't know that he was once the principal violinist at the National Conservatory of Music, it would be hard to tell that he has an artistic side.

"That jewelry brand replaced our artist? It's not our artist's problem? Are you sure?"

"Waibiwaibi——"

"Okay, then, don't worry about it. I'm going to issue an internal notice now. Artists from Victory Records are not allowed to endorse this brand in the future."

"Waibibabu——"

"Fashion event? Is their complaint about the artist being late true or false? Are you sure it's the artist's fault? If it's confirmed, then apologize, fine, and compensate the other party. This period will seriously affect the reputation of our artist department. Who does she think she is to act like a big shot?"

"Gurgle, gurgle—"

"The secret photography incident? The paparazzi? Weekly Fangchun... I see. I'll contact them. Also, tell him to be careful and not go to those places again."

"..."

After answering several calls, she smiled apologetically at Aaliyah.

"Sorry, I'm a little busy at work. Did I disturb you?"

"No." Alia just thought that this aunt was quite tough.

There's even a kind of toughness that doesn't belong to the people of Sakura Empire - aren't these people all ashamed of culture and reading the air or something like that?

On the contrary, the director and Fujisawa Yu seemed to have gotten used to his temper, so they appeared very calm.

"I have never had much time to accompany Xiaoyu. She has been a loner since she was young and has no friends."

As she spoke, she reached out to help Alia remove a grain of rice from her mouth.

"Even after she started working, she kept to herself. This is not good. This is the first time I've seen her eating with people her own age. Are you guys on good terms?"

Alia thought about it and deeply suspected that Fujisawa Yu and her mother were not the same species of fox.

Does your dad know that your mom is so good at flirting?

Oh, your dad probably knows, that’s probably how he died back then…

Fujisawa Yu lowered her head and said nothing, but she did not deny her friendship with Alia.

Maybe she was shy, or maybe she recognized Alia's "talent" in piano and was able to make friends with her.

Alia wanted to poke the girl twice - say something! Yuyu~ say something~

The director shook his head and roughly guessed the reason, but did not interrupt Fujisawa's mother's actions.

From the current perspective, at least this rich young lady doesn't mind it, and that's enough.

Sincerity is always the most powerful weapon. I think this rich girl can also feel the motherly love that is not good at expressing.

Just as Executive Director Fujisawa was about to say something, her phone rang again.

However, this call seemed very important, because Alia saw that General Manager Fujisawa's face changed and he even stood up.

Not only that, the tone she used when answering the phone this time was not as strong as before, but rather a little restrained.

"Yes... I know, I just came back for this matter... Yes... I know it is very important, please give me this chance!"

After a while, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down in a daze.

Alia looked at the director, who thought for a moment, pointed to the ceiling and lip-synced.

『BOSS』

Ailia suddenly realized that it was the boss of the company, so it was okay.

Even though there are some tough people in Sakura Empire at work, they still have to judge the situation when facing their superiors.

She is nowhere near what Alia did in the beginning, who would bully anyone she told him to, and even dare to block the door and arrest the supervisor if he was late for a meeting.

I have a husband and a daughter, so I have to live.

She is nothing like Alia, whose whole family is about to die and she has no scruples.

After hanging up the phone, Fujisawa seemed to have lost the mood to eat. He only picked up food twice in half a day and looked very worried.

"Is there anything bothering you?" Ellie was curious.

Although she doesn't often intervene in other people's lives and act as a universal wish-granting machine.

But as of now, Fujisawa's biological mother is quite a person who is quite pleasing to the eye, and she doesn't mind helping out a little.

After all, many things that seem like huge pressure to the other person may just be a word or a name to her.

Do you understand the value of the "Golden Dragon"?

Does it have gold content - gold - let’s talk about what the gold content is - gold.

Executive Director Fujisawa smiled bitterly: "What's the point of telling you kids? This is a problem from the top management. Eat well. Your health is more important."

Alia drank some soup and wiped her mouth: "I'm full, you can talk."

"..."

Executive Director Fujisawa probably saw his daughter's concerned look, thought about it, and put down his phone.

"Jennis, you know that, right?"

"I know." Alia nodded: "It's quite familiar."

"Yeah, you little girls love to watch this."

Ailia, with her rustic pigtails and big black-framed glasses, pushed her plain glasses and looked like a star-chasing little girl who had just walked out of school.

The more "rustic" a girl is, the more she is willing to spend money on her idol, and the more she yearns for the brilliance under the spotlight.

On the contrary, those live-action girls have other aspirations in life and are not the target audience of the idol industry.

"They currently have a group that is very popular. It has been confirmed that they will debut worldwide, and the debut single will be distributed in 249 countries and regions."

Alia nodded, she knew about that popular idol group.

Or maybe that thing was originally a secret weapon created within Johnny's, but it just happened to fall into his hands last time and was intercepted.

"And the name of that group is 'Arashi'!"

Executive Director Fujisawa rubbed his forehead and said, "They do have the potential to become very popular, but their current external cooperation is signed with AS Records."

Johnny's is responsible for creating idol groups, but the specific content creation, agency marketing activities and music production are still outsourced.

The top management was very optimistic about them and wanted to take them down, but they failed.

Alia recalled the group's performance in another world line, and they were indeed very powerful.

Arashi, or ARASHI - a five-member male idol singing group.

The most intuitive ability is that the total sales of Arashi records have exceeded 3000 million copies, and the sales of music DVDs rank first in the history of Sakura Empire.

This ability was even recognized by the industry, and he served as the host of the Red and White Songs Contest for five consecutive years from 2010 to 2014.

And it seems that due to the change of the world line, this group, which was supposed to debut more than 20 years ago, has waited until now.

But think about it, it’s no big deal. V6 is still a newbie, and Nagano-kun is still filming Tiga, which is so funny.

All they can say is that they have been wandering around for half their lives without finding a wise leader, and now they have met Miss Alia.

"So, Victory Records wants to win them over?"

"Yes, but we don't have the chips in this regard at the moment."

"Money?" Alia frowned. This shouldn't be the case. The Suzuki Group has no money?

To put it bluntly, if the Suzuki Group doesn't resort to underhanded means and really engages in a financial power confrontation, it will have no rivals in Japan.

"No, it's Johnny's. They have higher requirements."

Johnny's has changed. It no longer values ​​money, but instead values ​​the capabilities and attitude of the cooperating companies.

Want to sign the outsourcing of Arashi?

Sure! Show us your works! Let our artists work for you!

"Ah this——"

Aaliyah suddenly remembered that this matter seemed to be her fault.

It was because An and Yumiko were given too much encouragement at the beginning, which led Yumiko to embark on a path of no return of searching for the truth.

At present, Yumiko has begun to fight against the powerful inertia of seniority, and it is unknown how far she can go...

In comparison, it is understandable that the idol industry has stopped playing with idols and started to focus on talented actors.

After all, talent can be acquired, but appearance is innate, so this can be considered an advantage.

"They require at least one good song from the album, the kind that can secure a spot in the top three of the Oricon charts."

“First get on the list and then sign the contract?”

"Yes, get on the list first and then sign the contract."

Wow, Yumiko, you can do it!

First get the resources for free and then choose the partners. This style of eating first and paying later is quite suitable for me.

What to do? The palms and backs of her hands are all - oh, the Victory Records is not the back of her hand - but she doesn't want to use her identity to pressure Yumiko.

It's very simple to solve this problem. She is the BOSS. Just do as she likes and it will be done with just one sentence.

But if that were the case, it would disrupt the positive cycle of An and Yumiko, and that wouldn't be acceptable.

She thought about it and became a little suspicious: "Can't the company produce such an album?"

“It’s hard for even a top-notch songwriter to produce good works in large quantities, let alone a whole album.”

While working in the morning, out of curiosity about the gold medal composers, Alia listened to many of their representative works.

I have to say, it is really hard to reach the level of a gold medal.

Each of their representative works can be regarded as a popular classic.
