Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Chapter 331 Trust is invaluable

"Then the financial dispute between us is written off." A wax-sealed brown paper bag was handed to Hai Ling, whose expression remained calm. She watched with her own eyes as Chu Hua's contract was stuffed into the bag, neatly and meticulously.

In contrast, Hai Ling carefully read the entire folder of settlement agreements and memoranda that the firm placed in front of her, and finally nodded and signed her name on the last page.

To be honest, Hai Ling couldn't understand the winding and unpronounceable neon characters written on it, but she pretended to read through them and check her agent's expression to see if there were any fatal text traps.

Hai Ling didn't think that the adult in front of her, who was only fifteen years older than her, was some kind of expert in the legal field, and her boss was reluctant to spend the money to hire a high-quality legal counsel.

"From now on, we have no financial ties. Please remember to abide by the confidentiality agreement. We have a pleasant cooperation."

Hai Ling took the initiative to extend her inexplicably trembling hand. She couldn't tell if it was because of the cold weather or because of her fluctuating emotions. Judging from her beautiful but calm face, it was most likely the former...

Who knows except Hai Ling herself?

"It's a pleasure working with you," they shook hands, expressing their mutual respect. However, the agent still ventured a question. "Um... Miss Hailing, has Miss Yutenji Wakumai left?"

"This is my personal decision and has nothing to do with her or the band."

Unfortunately, I thought I could save more money. It's not just the 400,000 yen, but also the 30% tax paid on my behalf, the social insurance fees, and... All in all, Hai Ling's stupid behavior alone saved the agency a minimum of 1 million yen.

Would it be better if we had two more idiots like this? I thought it was Miss Wakaba Mu who had the least experience who would do such a thing that would lose a lot of money, but it turned out to be Miss Hailing who seemed the most shrewd?

"Oh... do you need me to see Miss Hailing off?"

"No need, I'll just leave on my own."

Taking a final look back at this place where she had not actually been many times, but where each visit had made her fate more entangled with Ave Mujica, Hai Ling didn't know whether she should smile in relief or shed a tear of melancholy.

Now where should I go...

His relationship with Miao Meng has broken down. Chuhua is focused on vacation and doesn't care about Mana, who is so sad that she gets drunk, or the band. Mana is busy with other things now, and Mu is still young and can't do much.

"Really? What have I been busy with these past few months?" Hai Ling complained somewhat in self-abandonment, then pressed the elevator button for the first floor with a wry smile.

There was no signal in the elevator, so Hailing couldn't check if the money left in her account was enough to buy a gift for everyone in Ave Mujica. Maybe it wasn't even enough for a meal?

So, should I just wait for the live show the day after tomorrow, satisfy Mana's little desire for revenge, and then quietly go back to the band I used to have a good relationship with...

The glass automatic sensor door opened following Hai Ling's footsteps. Her high heels stepped on the dirty snow that had melted somewhat but was still piled up in the gaps between the paving stones and in the soil of the landscape trees.

Don’t expect Tokyo’s ecological environment to produce any more elegant scenes than willow catkins blowing in the wind. Hai Ling doesn’t have that hope, and she’s not in the mood for it now.

Hai Ling paused as she walked, feeling somewhat melancholy. Her high heels weren't very effective at keeping her warm, so after a while she felt the sluggishness and stiffness that were unique to winter, making it difficult to move...

Bahba——

What's that noise? Hai Ling looked at the black Dodge that was slowly parked on the side of the road. After hesitating for a moment, she walked forward and opened the car door.

The man sitting quietly in the driver's seat was just holding a lollipop that looked like a cigarette in his mouth. The fig incense and heater in the car made Hai Ling feel somewhat comforted. She leaned back on the leather sofa seat and closed her eyes to rest.

At least the only man who asked me for help was happy to see me, so today wasn't that bad after all.

"Where's Meow Meng?"

"We had a fight and now I don't know where she is."

"How's the thing I asked you to do going?"

"I have Chuhua's contract, and I'll tell them to get the others' themselves."

Hai Ling was prepared for the doctor to scold her or say something sarcastic about her being useless... Actually, that would be fine, but she just didn't want the doctor to just lower his head and send her home without saying a word and then lose contact with her.

That is something that is unbearable. If I disappoint the only person who is willing to trust me and entrust things to me, I might as well go back to the shrine in disgrace and follow my mother to be a shrine maiden who lives in anonymity for the rest of my life.

At least no one will feel sad about being useless anymore...

"Hai Ling, you've worked hard. How about I treat you to a midnight snack?"

"I'm sorry, doctor. I...eh?"

It was rare for Sanhui Baihe to see such a surprised and even delicious cute expression on the face of Hailing, who had a cold temperament and a strong aura. The lollipop candy circled in his mouth, and the sweetness fully moisturized every part of his mouth, and the corners of his mouth curled up with pleasure.

"Did you think I would scold you or be disappointed or something? I'm not that much of a jerk."

"But if I mess up, the agency might threaten to take the base back, and use all my wages to buy out Ave Mujica's freedom. And..."

Without giving Hailing the chance to continue complaining about him, Baihe Sanhui unpacked a lollipop and put it directly to Hailing's mouth. It was Hailing's favorite chocolate-flavored xylitol lollipop.

"If you're not satisfied, I'll cancel your midnight snack and only reward you with a lollipop."

It would be a lie for Hai Ling to say that she was not moved. She was just more puzzled than moved. Mainly, she just couldn't figure it out. She had clearly messed up, so why didn't the doctor scold her?

"Why……"

"Because I said—I trust you to do the work. Without your help, I really would be completely overwhelmed and overwhelmed, and would collapse in some neglected corner, and the harsh General Winter would take me and some stray cat's life away."

Hai Ling was amused by the doctor's exaggerated words. She covered her mouth and giggled for a while, but she returned to her expressionless face almost instantly.

"What the doctor said was too exaggerated, and I still can't figure it out."

"In short," Kashiwa Sanhui said, not bothering to give a lengthy explanation of psychological concepts to Hailing's confused mind. "Hailing, you did a great job. Although you caused a minor accident, since you helped me, I have to help you."

As he spoke, Baihe Sanhui took out a document from the briefcase at the co-pilot's feet. It only had five or six lines of text, and it was a plain contract that even Hailing, who was illiterate and didn't like going to school, could easily understand.

"Do you want to... invest in Ave Mujica?"

"It's not really an investment, you're not a company... Think of it as an angel investment. Just five million yen for 17% of your band's revenue for the next two years. I think it's a good deal."

In fact, it doesn't matter if Ave Mujica loses all his money. This year, Sanhui from Spinach Baihe made a big bet. I bought Dafei Teacher for 80,000 dollars and won 3-0. If the original plot had developed, I dare not imagine how much I could have earned.

Don’t ask yourself where your confidence comes from. The system tells you to believe the old man, so you must believe the oldest old man.

While it was dark outside, Baihe Sanhui quickly opened the car window, held the lollipop stick in his hand, and threw the stick into the trash can three meters away like shooting a basketball, hitting the bull's eye!

After having enough fun, we're ready to set off, said Sanhui Baihe casually as he closed the window and started the engine, letting the Dodge begin its unique roar.

"This figure is enough to attract Miao Meng back. You also have to live up to my trust in you and let me earn more... Mmm, Mmm, Mmm (let go, I didn't finish my words)."

"No, let me feel it for a while."

A pair of white hands with a tingling touch covered Baihe Sanhui's mouth and pinched the doctor's cheek playfully. Although Hailing still had that frigid expression, the warmth and peace of mind in her eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

"Thank you for your trust, doctor. Now only you and Lixi are willing to believe me..."

“…I like you guys.”
