Japan implements a nine-year compulsory education system, so Lin Junxiu does not need to pay tuition and book fees when studying in a public middle school. However, school uniform fees, teaching aids, lunch fees and school travel fees are required to be paid in accordance with regulations. Although

Aoi Middle School has kept these four fees to the lowest in the entire Kanto region, but Lin Junxiu still needs to pay about 1.1 million yen every school year.

According to the promotional materials for cram schools that Lin Junxiu has seen recently, tutoring fees for exam-takers are the most expensive, with the most expensive being 80,000 yen per month; and tutoring fees for non-examination-takers like myself are not that cheap either.

There, a slightly famous cram school would cost around 50,000 yen. Therefore, Lin Junxiu was still a little worried about Jiang Yuanjin’s price. Even if it was charged at the average price of 35,000 yen, it would be a big deal for Lin Junxiu and his family.

It’s quite a burden.

"So, it is necessary to quit the club." The next day, when Lin Junxiu came to Johnny's Office again, he said silently to himself.

Even if he takes the cheapest route, even if he has a student discount, the commuting cost is not a small amount in a month. Now that he has decided to leave, Lin Junxiu did not go directly to the practice room on the basement floor, but directly

I went to the agent department on the first floor. According to Johnny's practice, only debuting artists have independent agents; while in popular groups, in addition to responsible agents, each member also has his or her own agent. But

For the little Johnny who has not debuted, they only have one shared agent. If Junxiu Lin remembers correctly, her name is Fujishima Keiko. However, Keiko does not need to come forward to terminate the contract, she can directly communicate with the staff of the agency department

Just explain.

"Lin Junxiu?" After hearing Lin Junxiu's name, the staff began to check Lin Junxiu's resume in the roster.

In principle, Johnny's contract is a one-year contract. But Johnny's who have potential or have already started to become popular will naturally have their own other contracts, so the staff saw that Lin Junxiu's standard contract was only a one-year contract.

He cares. Since it is a standard contract, it proves that the firm does not care about his future.

"Lin Junxiu-kun, according to the length of the contract, the 30th of next month is the day when the contract will be terminated. Are you sure you want to declare that you will not renew the contract now?" the staff asked as usual. Although we are all little Johnnys, but

Like the school, classes are divided into front-end classes, middle-end classes and back-end classes. Unless you are in the back-end classes, the firm will not take the initiative to terminate your contract. "Now that you are sure, then 'Declaration of No Renewal of Contract'"

', 'Portrait Rights Waiver Statement' and other documents need to be brought back to you and signed by your guardian. Then, please bring them back to me tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay." Lin Junxiu took these documents and looked at them a few times. Then he asked, "Excuse me, can I not sign this 'portrait rights waiver'? I don't want to give up my position in the firm.

Image rights in recent years.”

"Huh? Why? If you sign the waiver, the firm will give you some compensation." The clerk was a little confused, so he kindly reminded him.

Although there are many shady scenes in Japan's entertainment industry, after all, Japanese society has been transformed by the United States, so many things still abide by the relevant rules of the United States. For example, on the issue of image rights, Johnny & Associates can use all its artists free of charge during the contract period.

However, once Johnny chooses to withdraw from the agency, the use of the image rights will be limited. Especially if this Johnny is underage, it is impossible for the agency to use it permanently for free.

Unless they can get his waiver. In order to "tempt" Johnny to sign, the agency is often willing to pay a small compensation. After all, the agency doesn't want to release a review video of a certain group in the future.

, and as a result, an ugly mosaic had to be added to the picture because we did not have the image rights of a certain Johnny Johnny.

"No need. I haven't performed well in the office in the past few years. It's better not to leave an embarrassing black history in the future." Lin Junxiu replied seriously, "I don't want my future classmates to

Or colleagues saw this."

"Okay, since you ask for it." The clerk took the waiver back.

In fact, little Johnny's family is diverse, and many of his parents are lawyers or other highly educated people. They also attach great importance to their children's image rights, so the staff is not surprised that some people are unwilling to sign the waiver.

"Thank you, I'll excuse you." After Lin Junxiu thanked him, he put the remaining documents into his schoolbag, then turned and left the agency.

But before preparing to go home, Lin Junxiu still prepared to say goodbye to his few little Johnnys who played well. From now on, they and he are in two different worlds, and I am afraid it will be difficult for them to intersect again in the future.

Not long after Lin Junxiu left, Keiko Fujishima appeared in the office. For Keiko Fujishima, the "second generation president" of Johnny & Associates, Lin Junxiu didn't have much good or bad impression. After all, Johnny & Associates affairs

So since it is a family business, and Johnny has no descendants, it is almost certain that Keiko Fujishima will become the heir to the president.

And judging from Fujishima Keiko's growth experience, she is not the kind of silly "eldest lady" nor is she a straw bag "rich second generation". On the contrary, Fujishima Keiko has a strong ability to adapt to the entertainment industry. She

Having worked as a screenwriter, idol, producer, image designer, etc., it can be said that he has a close relationship with the entertainment industry.

But the only problem is that she seems to be really not good at selecting and promoting artists. At least in the eyes of many people in the Japanese entertainment industry, if her uncle is not Johnny Kitagawa and her mother is not Mary Kitagawa, she is really

There is no possibility of accepting Johnny & Associates.

"Julissan, here is an application for Johnny to withdraw from the agency." The staff reported to Keiko Fujishima. After all, she was the supervisor in charge of Johnny in the agency department.

As for calling Fujishima Keiko "Julie", this is also related to the history of the Kitagawa family. The Kitagawa family is a Japanese-American family, and Johnny and Mary both have dual nationality of Japan and the United States, and both were born in the United States.

Therefore, their names are very American. For example, Johnny Kitagawa's full name should be Kitagawa·Johnny·Ku, while Mary Kitagawa's is Kitagawa·Mary Yasuko. Therefore, Mary and the famous Japanese journalist and writer Fujishima Taisuke

The full name of the eldest daughter, Keiko Fujishima, is Fujishima Julie Keiko.

Since Johnny stipulates that the use of honorifics is strictly prohibited in the office, everyone calls Johnny "President" or "Jennisan", and Mary is called "Marisan". As for Keiko, she is called "Julie", and some older people call her "Julie".

Young Johnny, who was young and had a close relationship with Keiko, would call her "Auntie".

"Show me his name." Jingzi's work attitude was still sufficient, so the clerk handed her the information.

"Why is it him?" Jingzi frowned.

There are really too many little Johnnys in the office, and there are not many that Keiko can remember his name. And she can remember this name because it was mentioned by her mother yesterday, and her mother doesn't like him very much.

, but his uncle likes him. According to his mother, the "kind-hearted" uncle is interested in this rebellious boy again. But regardless of whether his mother likes him or not, since his uncle, who is the president of the company, is interested in him

If you are interested, it means that this young man is valuable to the firm.

Keiko Fujishima was not good at anything else, but she still had a bit of pragmatism. So she immediately called Johnny in the office, and she quickly got a reply from Johnny. Johnny hoped that Keiko could find Lin Junxiu,

and took him to his office.

Keiko stood up, came to the front desk, and asked the receptionist: "Has this person left the office?"

Seeing Jingzi's photo, the receptionist at the front desk shook his head and said, "I just saw him going to the training room downstairs."

"Yeah." Jingzi was slightly relieved when she heard that Lin Junxiu hadn't left yet. She immediately walked towards the training room downstairs, causing many staff and little Johnny to greet her.

As soon as she walked to the training room, she saw Lin Junxiu and several Johnnys standing in a corner not far away talking. Jingzi coughed, and then the young Johnnys were so surprised that they bowed and said hello. Jingzi looked at Lin

He gave me a handsome look, and then said calmly, "Jenison wants to see you, so come with me to his office."

"What?" Lin Junxiu was surprised. He didn't know that Johnny Junior, who had resigned from the club, would still talk to the president. He looked at Akanishi Jin and other Johnny Juniors in confusion. Akanishi Jin shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.

What's going on.

"Follow me, Jason's time is very precious." Jingzi pretended not to notice the eyebrows between the teenagers, and just reminded Lin Junxiu. After reminding her, she walked towards the stairs, and Lin Junxiu had no choice but to follow.

Although I plan to withdraw from the club, I haven't gone through the process yet. Legally speaking, I am still a little Johnny, so if the president really wants to summon me, it will be difficult for me to refuse. Not to mention because of my age.

To put it bluntly, Jason could be his own grandfather.

Keiko took Lin Junxiu to the president's office on the third floor. Keiko knocked on the door, and then saw Jason's secretary Izu Kikue opening the door. Keiko said a few words, and Izu Kikue led the two of them into the office.

Lin Junxiu took a look at the office of Johnny Kitagawa, who is known as the "pioneer of the Japanese entertainment industry" and the "father of male idols", and it is indeed in line with the outside world's evaluation of him. Johnny is a man who fanatically worships and imitates American pop art.

But at the same time, he is obsessed with Japanese traditional art. This small office is filled with various records and videos, as well as many traditional Japanese artworks.

Johnny glanced at Lin Junxiu and asked, "Why do you want to quit the company?"

Lin Junxiu was confused by Johnny's direct question and didn't know what to say. He thought about it and used the same explanation he explained to Akanishi Jin and others.

However, Johnny did not express his position after hearing this explanation. He just asked another question, "Do you like being an idol?"

"I don't like it." Lin Junxiu answered directly, "I would rather be a singer or actor or something."
