Chapter 135 Neon No. 1 Straw Pillow
It was already noon when Xiangzi woke up again. The aroma of food prompted Xiangzi, who was hungry because he had not eaten breakfast, to open his eyes and struggle to get up from the bench.
Kashiwa Sanhui drove to buy takeout Chinese food lunch boxes for everyone. The unique spice of the sweet and sour chicken and fried noodles stimulated Xiangzi's saliva secretion and whetted his appetite.
"Wake up, Xiangzi." Baihe Sanhui handed Xiangzi a box lunch. Su Shi, who was originally used as a pillow by Xiangzi, was now carefully making tea for everyone. Deng and Liang sat together, stuffing fried rice into their mouths while struggling with mathematics.
Everyone was busy—except for Aine who looked here and there just to join in the fun.
"Because you weren't awake just now, I tried out the song you wrote with Boss Chiyo—" At this point, Kashiwa Sanhui said this. Li Xiao, who was sitting at his laptop carefully adjusting the tracks, stuck out his tongue at Xiangzi. "The tempo is a bit slow. We'll try it again after dinner."
"it is good--"
Seriously, the moment I wake up I’m squeezed by the doctor… I hate it!
Chewing slowly is good for your health. Xiangzi chewed with his cheeks bulging, while taking out his mobile phone to browse his channels.
"Wow... Doctor, come and take a look—"
Xiangzi was a little scared by the data in the mobile phone. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he showed it to Baihe Sanhui with an incredible look on his face.
"My followers suddenly increased a lot - over 238,000!"
"But the comments under your video are not very friendly." Kashiwa Sanhui did not look at Xiangzi's phone but opened the EC official channel, clicked on Xiangzi's self-introduction video and the comments on the only two live broadcasts and read them carefully.
"Overestimating your own capabilities... lacking self-awareness... a complete fool... bluffing... Xiangzi, did you secretly say something bad during the live broadcast?"
In fact, there were many unfriendly comments that Baihe Sanhui did not read to Xiangzi, which involved Xiangzi's parents - although it didn't matter if that bastard Xiang's father was affected, it involved Xiangzi's mother after all, so she had to respect her no matter what.
"How is that possible?" Xiangzi held his head and tilted it to think for a while. He was indeed not crazy enough to start a live broadcast and say nonsense. "The official channel is in your hands, doctor."
That’s right…
After thinking for a while, Kashiwa Sanhui called the four little ones together with the surfing expert Aine, and everyone squatted together to eat lunch while talking about things.
"...Anyway, please check your videos to see if there are any negative comments. If there are any, pay attention to the general content."
Everyone checked for a while and found that it was not just Xiangzi, but everyone was paying attention to the sudden increase and was inexplicably set on fire by the same group of guys.
But we haven’t officially started the event yet, so where can we get any leverage over this for anyone to criticize us?
"Ke-chan, I've noticed that most of the malicious comments are about things like 'overestimating your own abilities,'" Aine suddenly exclaimed in surprise. "Are we being used as a target by some channel owner?"
It's us, not you, Chihaya Aine-san - but Kashiwa Miki didn't have the heart to correct Aine's grammatical mistakes. It must be said that Aine is really a genius in the field of the Internet.
What to do? Only kill...
Just kidding, of course we have to find out the guy who is pulling people down, and defeat him head-on or fight back online, we have to do something.
"Well, let's start with a live broadcast or a video to clarify... Wait, what do we want to clarify?"
Originally, Kashiwa Sanhui still wanted to go through the crisis public relations process in a very formal way, but suddenly found that everyone seemed to have been criticized without doing anything, so he couldn't even find a theme for crisis public relations!
"...Aren't there a lot of people who think that your technical skills are not good enough?" Su Shi, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly interrupted, and everyone's eyes were focused on the calm Su Shi.
"Then the doctor and everyone else should verify that everyone's skills are actually quite good... I think that's the way it should be, right?"
……
In an inconspicuous office building in Neon.
An unprepossessing man was directing a large number of employees sitting at computer desks. Each computer was connected to at least hundreds of mobile phones or virtual machine systems. The buzzing sound of the computer chassis almost drowned out the man's voice of command.
"Order No. 064 is finished, everyone start working on Order No. 065..."
A text message was suddenly sent to the man's mobile phone, so the man temporarily stopped giving orders and carefully checked and replied to the customer's message.
[it's over?]
The man glanced casually, inputting it almost like muscle memory.
[Your order is complete, you can settle the order and pay the balance.]
Not long after this message was sent, the other party sent another message.
[Go ahead, I'll add more money.]
What do you mean?
Although I didn't understand, I still re-numbered this customer according to the order and started queuing again - business has been so good these days that even if I used the spare machines, the business was still postponed to a few days later.
These idol agencies are really something, they don't even let go of self-operated bands that are not even competitors... But it's also true, without hype, where will the traffic come from, and without traffic, where will the money come from.
[Increase efforts and do things more properly.]
The other party sent another message, this time along with the balance of the previous payment, and also sent a video that had just been released not long ago.
After instructing his men to continue working, the man found a quiet corner and started playing the music.
……
"Hello hello? Can you hear me?"
The camera shows a beautiful girl's profile and soft jawline, as if the girl is asking the camera to adjust the angle.
The camera was straight, and a man with deep eyes and the young girl were sitting on a high step, facing the camera as if chatting; the other four girls with different hair colors were leaning against the steps and the wooden floor, greeting them enthusiastically...but the girl with pink hair didn't look too good, perhaps she was a little nervous.
"We are Endless crychic, good afternoon everyone!"
"First of all, I would like to thank you all for your support and encouragement. This is the first time that our inexperienced individual operations team has received so much attention~" Captain Oblivionis said first.
"And recently, our cyeagha-san suddenly realized that some friends seem to be overly supportive of us. They appear under every video. Thank you so much!"
When saying this, the man and the four little ones all made lifting gestures, and some more explicit comments were edited above everyone's palms. The common point was that they were almost all posted by the same accounts.
"So, everyone at Endless crychic wants to repay everyone's love—" cyeagha spoke up, although from the tone of her voice, there was no hint of gratitude at all.
"We will be performing at the Kawasaki Cultural Music Festival at the end of August, and we will also be releasing our first album online within three days, free of charge~"
"Friends and colleagues who want to come and test our quality can rest assured that we will definitely not disappoint you."
Then, the four little ones took turns speaking:
"If you are a fan who wants to visit the live house we are running together recently..."
“It’s also free—”
"Not only is there no entrance fee, but there's also all-you-can-drink juice—"
"That... ah, and air conditioning!"
After pink-haired Luna finished speaking, everyone was a little nervous.
After covering his mouth and laughing for a while, the captain finally spoke: "That's it, this is the number one straw bag pillow band in Neon - Endless crychic presenting to everyone, wishing everyone good health and smooth work!"
The video ended... only the shot ended, and you could still faintly hear the abstract giggles of the crowd and Luna's dark muttering.
