I am a freeloader in the anime world

Nakano Ichika lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Yesterday I told Hoshino-kun about my dream, which is to become an actor. And today, I finally plucked up the courage and went to a crew to try an audition."

Su Yang seemed to have some guesses in his mind, but still with a hint of curiosity, he asked softly: "Then what?"

"The director initially praised my performance, but because I was a rookie, he told me I needed to think again." Nakano Ichika's voice revealed a hint of confusion and sadness. "But... in the afternoon, he conveyed the message through his assistant's phone, telling me that I didn't need to go to the crew anymore. I was still confused and didn't understand why I didn't do well enough."

"Is that so?" Su Yang said, "By the way, can you tell me the name of the director?"

"Yeah." Hoshino Ichika nodded. "His name is Kamiki Hikaru. I heard that he used to be a member of a drama troupe, and recently switched to directing."

"Is that so? Then can you wait for me for a while?" Su Yang asked.

"Yeah." Nakano Ichika nodded.

So Su Yang got up and left the second floor. Although he was not from the entertainment industry, he knew the store manager.

Nakano Ichika stared blankly at Su Yang's departing back, as if her soul had followed him to the outside of the second floor. Her eyes were empty and deep, as if she was completely immersed in her own thoughts, oblivious to everything around her. It was not until Su Yang appeared in her sight again, slowly walked back and sat down, that she came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.

"News so soon?" she whispered softly, with a hint of surprise and anticipation in her tone.

There was curiosity and eagerness in Nakano Ichika's eyes, and she was obviously very interested in the news she was about to hear.

Although Nakano Ichika was whispering, Su Yang had sharp hearing and still heard it clearly.

"You have to understand that in the eyes of some people, there are no so-called secrets in the glamorous entertainment industry or the unattainable upper class. What's more, I happen to have a relationship with a person with extremely wide connections, which allows me to get a glimpse of the unknown side of these circles."

What Su Yang said was not a lie. The store manager was just that kind of person. As for his connections... um... he had a lot of girlfriends, so he could be considered to have extensive connections...

Su Yang smiled awkwardly, and then continued, "Your audition today was indeed successful, and it was basically the finishing touch, but then someone snatched the role you were auditioning for."

"Is that person a famous person in the circle?" Nakano Ichika couldn't help but ask.

As a newcomer, if this opportunity was taken away by those big stars, or even not actors, but other famous figures in the entertainment industry, she could accept it calmly.

After all, Nakano Ichika is well aware that she is still inexperienced, and compared with those predecessors who have already established a foothold in the entertainment industry, she naturally still has a lot to learn and accumulate.

"No, it's an unspoken rule." Su Yang shook his head.

Hearing this, Nakano Ichika was stunned for a moment, as if she was hit by an invisible force.

Then, Nakano Ichika sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in her voice: "The truth behind this is indeed much more cruel than I imagined."

Su Yang stared at Nakano Ichika. Her face was full of loss and melancholy. That emotion was like an invisible force that moved Su Yang's heart.

However, Su Yang could still understand Nakano Ichika's sadness. It's just that this is how society is, especially the entertainment industry, which has a lot of darkness.

In addition, Su Yang knew that although Nakano Ichika had extraordinary looks, she was still just a rising star in this entertainment industry full of talented people and fierce competition. She had just entered the industry and there were still many challenges and difficulties to face and overcome.

Although she has the potential to become a shining star, it is still just a hopeful vision of the future and has not yet become a reality. At present, she still needs to bravely face various hardships and challenges and keep moving forward to gradually move towards the shining star path.

Therefore, it is completely understandable that Ichika Nakano is now experiencing emotional fluctuations due to such things and it is a normal reaction.

Suddenly, Nakano Ichika looked up and asked, "By the way, I heard from Mai-san today that the company she signed with is Mr. Hoshino's. Is that true?"

"what?"

Su Yang was stunned. Is this true? How come he didn't know?

"I bought the agency that Mai Sakurajima worked for, and then registered it under your name. Can it be considered as a way for you to make money?" The manager's voice said in Su Yang's mind.

"Ah?" Su Yang was stunned.

"You can't always come to me for money, right? And your apartment issue can be settled in two days." The manager's voice continued.

"But, even if I have money, I can't use it, right? After all, my physical condition is there." Su Yang said helplessly to the store manager in his mind.

"Um... this..." The store manager paused, "This is a problem. Let me think about how to deal with it."

"Okay, then what should we do with Nakano Ichika now..." Su Yang asked.

"It's up to you to decide. After all, this is your company. I just found someone to manage it on your behalf." The store manager said.

"That's fine, but even if I sign the contract, I don't have those resources in the entertainment industry." Su Yang continued.

"Don't worry, I'm here, not to mention Mai Sakurajima's support. Are you worried that your company doesn't have the resources?" The store manager said, "Besides, Mai Sakurajima already knew about this. Now, she is the only person in charge of the company besides the person I found."

"Ok."

"Hoshino-kun? Hoshino-kun?" Nakano Ichika saw that Su Yang seemed to be in a daze, and called him.

"Ah? Ah!" Su Yang reacted immediately, looked at Nakano Ichika and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I just asked Mr. Hoshino if your company is interested in signing a contract with me?" Nakano Ichika stared at Su Yang expectantly, her hands clenched into fists due to her inner nervousness, revealing her uneasiness and anticipation at the moment.

"Ah, this..." Su Yang was stunned. "Of course there is no problem, but I basically don't care about the company's affairs, so I don't know much about the company's situation. But Yihua, your appearance is indeed excellent, and you do have the foundation to become popular. If you are really ready, you can go directly to sign the contract. I will give instructions in advance."
