Chapter Sixteen: The Entertainment Circle

  Looking up at the towering building, LME Entertainment Production Office. Silently glanced at the business card in my hand, reconfirming the authenticity of the information... Entertainment Production Office, that uncle said it was a singer, right?

  As I walked into the building, the receptionist looked at me with a professional smile and said, "Hello, can I help you?"

  "Can you take me to this person's office?" He took out his business card and placed it on the counter.

  "Okay, please wait."

  The receptionist turned around to make a phone call, seemingly to confirm some information. After a moment, she slightly bowed to me and said, "The CEO's assistant will be right with you to show you the way. Please wait in the lounge for now."

  In the direction she pointed, there were several sofas placed. I nodded towards her and picked up the business card to find an empty sofa to sit down. Holding the business card carefully, it was a gold-plated card, just as flashy as he himself.

  "You must be Kuroba Sakura-san, the president has been waiting for you in his office. Please follow me." A woman in a business suit greeted me with a bow, I was sitting on the sofa looking bored.

  "Good." He nodded and followed her into the elevator, which was marked "VIP only" on the left side. The right side had no such sign. It seemed that this elevator was for the company president and some VIP guests.

  "This is the president's office, please enter." The elevator arrived at what seemed to be the top floor, and the assistant led me to a door that looked different from the usual decorations, as if indicating for me to go in alone.

  "Thank you." He bowed politely, knocked on the door, and upon hearing a voice from inside saying "come in", he pushed open the door. The scene before me left me stunned. That strange uncle was wearing Arabian attire today, even the staff standing inside were dressed similarly...

  "Oh, little sister, you're here." The strange uncle raised a warm smile.

  "Ah, weird uncle."

  "Strange uncle?" Strange uncle looked at me with a puzzled face, completely unable to understand why he would be given the title of "strange uncle".

  "Why is it an entertainment production agency? I remember you invited me as a singer."

  "Oh, it's me who's planning to add a new singer in this line, and you Kuroki Sakura, you're the first singer of our company."

  "......Is that so, I understand." If it weren't for that person's orders, I wouldn't have joined the agency at all. It's really tough for newcomers in this industry.

  "It's about time, Ah Lian should be here by now." Guai Da Shu glanced at his wristwatch.

  "Alan?"

  "It's someone you know, ah, everyone says."

  Turning my head, I saw a black-haired young man walking in. He seemed to be the popular No. 1, Tonari Ren, who excelled in both acting and looks. As if noticing my gaze, he gave me a dazzling smile.

  This way of treating outsiders always feels similar to how I treat my brother.

  "Ah Lian, she's the girl I was talking about."

  "My name is Guo Helian."

  "My name is Kurosu Kirara." She gave a slight bow, the most basic courtesy from a junior to a senior.

  "Right, Kurenai, since you've already signed the contract, you should also take a stage name."

  "Stage name?" Frowning slightly, a stage name can be one's real name or a pseudonym, but I don't want to be recognized...

  "You can take your time thinking about your stage name, you won't be debuting for a while."

  "No need, just call me Blood Princess." Calling a familiar codename wouldn't be forgotten... and besides, in this world, no one knows that the Blood Princess is an assassin.

  "Blood Princess? Why did Miss Hei call her that?" Guo Heliang maintained a smile as she looked at the girl, Blood Princess, it sounded like a princess bathed in blood, what an eerie stage name.

  "Because I was called this name before, so it's easier to remember." He quietly took a sip of tea.

  "Alright, let's call you Blood Princess then, and I'll also arrange a manager for you."

  Nodded, don't know which day will leave this world, disappear... what to do with the penalty for breach of contract, must earn some money.

  "Alright, so here's a task for you from Kaito Sakuragi: Please write a song within five days."

  "…let a kid write songs?" Lian questioned the authenticity of it, even if he was the first artist of the record company, but this requirement was too demanding.

  The boss looked at the resume in his hand, raised an eyebrow slightly at the word "child", and then said seriously, "I believe in her ability, even if she can't finish it, it will be a good training for her."

  "It's already noon, Alin, take Kiri to eat lunch." The president glanced at Lin, Alin's agent had reflected that Alin hadn't been eating recently, and if this continued, his body would collapse.

  "Alright, President."

  Guo He Lian glanced at the girl walking with him with his spare vision, just a matter of business and didn't need him to pay attention, but what was the intention of the president letting him know her...

  "Miss Hei Zhu, why did you want to become a singer?"

  As I walked with Tōka Ren, hearing his question, I just tilted my head "...Just call me Aoi Sakura, Mr. Ren. As a singer... it was my 'grandfather's' request."

  "Do you dislike being a singer?"

  "I don't dislike it, I like singing, so I don't dislike it."

  "Really?" Looking at him with a somewhat relieved smile, is he worried that I'm being forced to do something I don't like?

  "Ah, Lian, you're here." I tilted my head, looking at the person who ran over, seemingly familiar with Mr. Lian.

  "Ah, who is this girl Lian?"

  "She is the president's artist who will soon become the first office singer, Kurokuwa Sakurako."

  Listening to Lian introduce me, I furrowed my brow silently. I don't dislike the surname Hei Zhu, but every time it feels unfamiliar.

  "Huāi yīng, tā shì wǒ de jīng jì rén, shè xìng yī."

  Translation: "Huaiying, he is my agent, fortunately one."

  "Thank you, Mr. She, for your guidance."

  "There, thank you for your guidance." Xia Xing was taken aback and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. This girl was too cute, maybe she could make a name for herself in one move.

  "Kurenai, how old are you? You're already an artist at such a young age." On the way to the restaurant, she was asked by Ren's manager.

  Glancing at Mr. Shachou, he said calmly, "I'm sixteen years old."

  The atmosphere suddenly solidified, Mr. Sha Xing stood frozen in place like a stone statue, and Lian was also stunned on the spot. Looking up at the wall that could reflect his own shadow, in front of him was a petite girl...

  "...just kidding, I'm six this year." He stuck his tongue out at them.

  Mr. She Xing touched his own head and smiled somewhat awkwardly "Haha... that's also true."

  Lotus glanced at the girl and felt that her attitude was a bit unusual just now.

  He and Lian, Mr. Sha Xing had chocolate cake and red tea together, it was very delicious. Only... I really can't write songs myself, maybe I can ask the old god upstairs...
