Zongman: Hong Kong's black ceiling but autistic, what should I do?

"Is this the reason why my investment of over one million dollars went down the drain?"

The principal, who was sitting in his office chair, looked at Fukuzawa Sakura opposite him with a serious face.

"Yes, I spent some money on hiring internet trolls and making materials, but that's just a small amount of money. The bulk of the money was spent on contacting the production team and securing a spot for the debut. Why are you so angry? Doesn't the contract say that as long as I'm still studying at the academy, all expenses both inside and outside the school will be borne by you?"

"But you can't use my money to help a rival agency train new idols!"

"You don't like Dongyue Office."

Fukuzawa Sakura picked up the principal's afternoon tea and started eating.

“And, well, this is delicious, and Yin is not some talented singer. It’s not like you think he has talent just because you saw the publicity in the media. Dongyue Agency is not good enough.

And he actually looked down on me and my songs. I wrote great songs, but he can’t sing them with his level! He can’t even sing half the songs I hand in for homework. He really has no sense~”

"You mean he has no talent?"

The principal had done some research and knew that when Fukuzawa Sakura was helping Nakamura Oto perform on the underground stage, she had always said that Nakamura Oto was talented and a singing genius or something like that. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent a huge sum of money to sign a contract with Nakamura Oto. After all, you can't just become a dowry maid if you want to.

Of course, part of it was because of Fukuzawa Sakura's face, but more of it was because the principal believed what Fukuzawa Sakura said, "Nakamura Otona is a talented singing genius."

"It's just an experiment. You believe this? Anyone with eyes can see that he is not strong enough and has no talent at all. Wasn't his entrance test score very bad? You put him into S class for my sake, but I think it's unnecessary. Oh, no, he is at least more capable than that Fuyutsuki."

"You mean, experiment?"

The principal's expression softened visibly.

“Yes, I was trying to figure out which is more important, the hard work of ordinary people or the talent of geniuses, so I found Yin, an ordinary person.

Lie to him that he is a genius, let him work hard to improve himself, and then conduct comparative experiments between his achievements and those of the genius.

But am I lying? Compared to other things, singing is indeed the only thing he is slightly good at, but it is not yet a talent~"

"Have you got any results now?"

"Of course, before he became famous, we could tell by looking at his test scores. It was expected. After all -

[If the efforts of ordinary people are useful, what is the need for genius? ]"

"Since the experiment is over, why do you still spend so much money to support an ordinary person?"

"Aiya~ After all, I promised him before that I would help him become a singer. You should know this. If you don't have talent, you can only rely on money to support you~

Although the influence is not long-lasting, at least he was promoted in the simplest way.

And there are other firms willing to take over the subsequent troubles, how great! You will also earn a large sum of liquidated damages, so just consider the previous ones as an investment.

Yes, I have written your song too~"

After listening to Fukuzawa Sakura's explanation and getting the song worth eight million that he had always dreamed of, the principal was finally in a good mood.

“Hahahaha… As expected of you…”

...

After fooling the principal and having his afternoon tea, Fukuzawa Sakura stretched, walked into the dormitory to prepare the game, and started it!

Just when Fukuzawa Sakura had prepared snacks and was about to have fun, Kurosaki Ranmaru, who had ignored Fukuzawa Sakura for a long time, ran back to the dormitory panting.

"Hey, Ranmaru~"

Fukuzawa Sakura, who was in a good mood, also greeted her.

"Why are you playing games in the dorm? I can't find you anywhere."

"Hmm? Can you ask me for help?"

Fuzawa Sakura held a pudding spoon in her mouth and her speech was a little unclear.

"Your story has spread all over the school. It's said that the man you made famous turned around and betrayed you to join Dongyue Agency, and even asked their eldest daughter to compose music for him. Humph, a man like this will not achieve anything even if the country's number one composer composes music for him."

Almost everyone in the school knew that Sakura Fukuzawa was busy running around for Oton Nakamura. At the beginning, many people envied Sakura Nakamura for being able to get a top student to help him. Later, when they saw that the number of fans of Oton Nakamura's account soared like a rocket, many people wanted to ask Sakura Fukuzawa for help, but they were all rejected by Sakura Fukuzawa.

"Oh~ So Ranmaru is concerned about me~ He's afraid that I'll be sad because of the betrayal~"

After all, Kurosaki Ranmaru had been betrayed before.

"Who...Who is worried about you!"

Kurosaki Ranmaru's face turned red as his true colors were exposed.

"I just... I just found some information that you definitely don't know! I want to trade with you. Do you think your promise to me still counts?"

Before, Kurosaki Ranmaru wanted to know the reason why the teachers changed, so Fukuzawa Sakura proposed to exchange the information that Fukuzawa Sakura didn't know for what Kurosaki Ranmaru wanted to know.

With Xiao Kuro around, Fukuzawa Sakura naturally knew everything she wanted to know, so after Kurosaki Ranmaru said a few things that Fukuzawa Sakura already knew, Kurosaki Ranmaru didn't try again.

Fukuzawa Sakura, who did not let Xiao Hei follow Kurosaki Ranmaru, thought that Kurosaki Ranmaru had given up, but she did not expect that he had been collecting information.

"You said."

Fukuzawa Sakura sat upright, looking as if she was listening attentively.

"The composer assigned to the traitor by the Dongyue Agency is the daughter of their president. Although she has won many honors and awards since she was a child, they were actually some low-level competitions. She can win awards as long as she pays money. And because she is from the Dongyue family, even if she performs poorly, the judges will give her high scores. In some competitions where the scores cannot be falsified, the organizers will swap the high scores of the Dongyue family with those of others.

I have inquired about it. The traitor took part in a competition when he was in elementary school. He was hit hard by his low score and stopped playing music after that. He didn't start singing again until his third year of junior high school. Dongyue's family also took part in the competition that made him lose confidence, and they performed particularly poorly. The organizer simply swapped his score with Dongyue's.

Ha—what is this, karma?”

Fukuzawa Sakura, who actually didn't put much effort into Nakamura Oto, was a little surprised.

"The two of them have a deep bond."

Kurosaki Ranmaru felt somewhat gloating.

"I heard that it was the Dongyue family who chose the traitor. They said they were impressed by his talent or something. It was obvious that they saw that his number of fans as a newcomer exceeded that of some idols in their agency, so they wanted to reap the benefits without even considering whether they had the ability. Humph, you didn't know this news yet?"

Fukuzawa Sakura didn't pay much attention to what happened to Nakamura Oto before. Rather, her attitude towards Nakamura Oto can be seen from the fact that Fukuzawa Sakura never put Xiao Hei next to Nakamura Oto.

and so--

"...Okay, I really didn't know this news. One for one, now it's my turn to tell you a story..."
