Japanese big things

Regarding the business development of the firm, Nakamura Masahiro and Oshiro Shoji discussed a lot, and finally the two initially set the business scope in the field of actors.

Johnny & Associates in the idol field is too powerful, and its investment costs are relatively high, so there is really no need to compete with it.

In the field of actors, Masahiro Nakamura already has an advantage. As long as he does not compete head-on with large firms, he can avoid the resentment of tit-for-tat confrontation.

After all, Nakamura Masahiro's projects will also leave some starring opportunities for other agencies. As long as they still want to recruit people, they will not choose to offend Nakamura Masahiro.

"By the way, Nakamura-san, what do you think of Meixiang?"

Ojo Shoji suddenly mentioned Meixiang outside the ward, which made Nakamura Masahiro curious.

"What's wrong with her? Zhaoji..."

"I had a chat with her. She is a student at Tokyo University and went to Ginza part-time to work as a public relations lady because of the tuition fees."

Shoji Oshiro said in a calm tone: "Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid it won't be possible for her to work part-time in Ginza anymore."

"I want to recruit her and train her well so that she can take over the position of assistant."

"Didn't you say you were poaching other firms? Have you changed your mind?"

Nakamura Masahiro looked at Oshiro Shoji a little strangely. According to the results of previous discussions, Oshiro Shoji wanted to recruit a professional agent.

"I contacted a few, and they all had some concerns and wanted to think more about it."

Oshiro Shoji frowned, with a slightly solemn expression on his face. Obviously, the poaching of agents from other firms did not go well.

"Then, Meixiang is willing? She is a student of Dongda University..."

"She has no objection. She can earn a good salary and take care of her studies at the same time. What objection can she have?"

Shoji Oshiro said nonchalantly: "As long as you have no objection, I can arrange for her to join the firm."

"Okay, if she doesn't want to, let her take over the assistant job."

Nakamura Masahiro hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his agreement: He didn't mind if he was from Tokyo University, why would he care so much?

"By the way, the investigation results about Hashimoto-san are also out..."

Skipping the topic of assistant work, Oshiro Shoji switched the new topic to Hashimoto Nanami.

"Based on the investigation results reported by the private detective, Hashimoto-san should have been affected by family factors."

"She only has a younger brother and mother in her hometown in Hokkaido. Her father must have passed away long ago."

"It is said that Hashimoto-san sent back a lot of money every month, which is probably her salary... She also said that she would pay for her brother's tuition."

"I'm afraid, this is why she chose to run for Nogizaka46..."

Masahiro Nakamura took the initiative to take over the conversation and concluded: "Although the assistant's salary is not low, it cannot meet her needs."

The salary is related to the level of the position and is also linked to the firm's salary system, which cannot be easily changed.

Even if Masahiro Nakamura prefers Nana Hashimoto, it is impossible to offer her an excessive salary.

After all, if you really do that, the office will be in chaos. What will other employees think?

"Then there's no way...."

Shoji Oshiro shook his head, somewhat helpless about Hashimoto Nanami's choice.

"I heard that Akimoto-san also provided Hashimoto-san with a stable salary, probably just to appease her."

"Smith Marseille...."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Meixiang's little head came in. She said in a timid tone: "Nakamura-san, Ms. Mizuki Fukuda is here to see you..."

"Let me go out first. Ms. Futian will definitely talk to you about something..."

Oshiro Shoji glanced at Nakamura Masahiro and moved towards the outside of the ward.

"By the way, I'll also have a chat with Miss Meixiang."

Meixiang looked at Oshiro Shoji in confusion, wondering why the other party suddenly mentioned her?

Shoji Oshiro, who watched with concern as he came out, greeted Mizuki Fukuda respectfully, and then let Mizuki Fukuda and the little girl beside her into the ward.

"Oshiro-san, is this Ms. Fukuda Mizuki?"

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Meixiang looked at Ojo Shoji who had closed the door, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"She is Nakamura-san's mother, and she works at Dentsu."

After briefly introducing Fukuda Mizuki's identity, Oshiro Shoji called Meixiang aside and discussed with her about joining the firm.

In the ward, as soon as Mizuki Fukuda and Mie Nakamura entered the room, the little girl threw herself directly in front of Masahiro Nakamura's bed.

"Onii-chan, are you okay?"

Her young face was full of concern, and the little girl stretched out her white tender catkins and touched Nakamura Masahiro's gauze-wrapped head.

"Who hit you? I asked Ocasan to teach him a lesson."

Mei Hui deliberately looked fierce, but she looked cute and adorable.

"It's okay, don't worry about me..."

Nakamura Masahiro stretched out his hand and stroked Meihui's little head. The soft feeling was very comfortable, as if he was petting a cat.

"Just take care of yourself. Are you studying well in school?"

"Well...."

Before she finished speaking, the little girl suddenly had a grimace on her face, as if she had been greatly wronged.

A pair of smart eyes moved around, as if dodging, trying their best to avoid looking at Nakamura Masahiro.

"Meihui, have you made your mother angry again?"

Seeing the timid reaction of the little girl, Nakamura Masahiro immediately realized that she might have been scolded again.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked at his mother, Mizuki Fukuda. Nakamura Masahiro's face was full of curiosity.

"She was scolded just yesterday..."

Glancing at the pouting Mihui, her mother Mizuki Fukuda said angrily: "She has become obsessed with the Korean Wave recently, and she suddenly wants to go to Korea to be a trainee. It makes me mad."

Unlike China, which has a relatively high social status, artists in South Korea and Japan generally have a low social status, and their incomes are also low.

Unless they are popular celebrities recognized by the public, ordinary artists are not even as good as ordinary official members.

Although there are some wealthy children who join the entertainment industry and work hard, most of them are just for fun.

And the vast majority of elders don't like their descendants to be exposed in the entertainment industry, and they always feel it is shameful.

The little girl Mihui's idea of ​​going to South Korea to become a trainee undoubtedly offended her mother Mizuki Fukuda.

"Yahong, please help me persuade her to give up this idea..."

When she mentioned this matter, her mother Mizuki Fukuda felt a surge of strong anger in her heart.

"If you don't study hard in school, you'll be thinking about learning singing and dancing all day long. Is it so easy to be a trainee?"

"It's just a commodity. There are so many kids in Johnny's Agency. How many of them can really get ahead?"

For Mizuki Fukuda, who works at Dentsu, artists with celebrity aura are essentially commodities and will be replaced once they become outdated.

And underneath the merchandise, there are more trainees or newcomers who are hidden, and they don't even have a chance to show their faces in the mainstream media.

Letting Meihui become a trainee is definitely not a good choice: the little girl does not come from a poor family, so she must expect to turn around as an artist.

Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but glance at Mihui, who was peeping secretly. The little girl pouted her little mouth, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Ocasan, how about letting her try?"

Masahiro Nakamura can actually understand the mentality of little girls. Adolescent boys and girls do have a great yearning for the bright entertainment circle.

After all, the glamorous entertainment industry is indeed dazzling and can always firmly attract the hearts of young people.

"Let her try?"

Looking at Nakamura Masahiro with some suspicion, Fukuda Mizuki didn't understand what he meant for a while, and then glanced at Mihui who looked hopeful.

"That's just a waste of time, and she can't bear the hardship..."

"Ocasan, I can persevere."

Unexpectedly, the little girl bravely raised her head to meet the scrutinizing eyes of her mother, Mizuki Fukuda, and spoke in a resounding tone.

"It doesn't hurt to let her try. Anyway, Meihui can't settle down to study now..."

Nakamura Masahiro tentatively persuaded: "Maybe if the trainee works too hard, she will give up on her own."

As the saying goes, it is better to open up than to block, so instead of expending energy directly killing the little girl's idea, it is better to let her try it.

After all, it's easy to just say it, but if you want to stick to it for a long time, it requires a lot of perseverance.

"Do you really want her to go to South Korea to be a trainee?"

Mizuki Fukuda still takes Nakamura Masahiro's opinions very seriously. After all, Nakamura Masahiro has already matured his thinking skills, and he is not that little girl Miguel.

Thoughts swirling, Fukuda Mizuki quickly made a decision, and she immediately rejected Nakamura Masahiro's persuasion.

"No, she's too young now. She won't be considered until at least she graduates from middle school..."

"That's okay..."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't care. Anyway, if his mother Mizuki Fukuda didn't nod, the little girl's idea would definitely not have a chance to be realized.

"Mei Hui, did you hear that? If you want to be a trainee, you must graduate from high school before you can consider it."

The little girl pouted her mouth glumly, with unhappiness written all over her face.

"Okay, tell me your story..."

Ignoring the little girl's matter, mother Mizuki Fukuda brought the topic to Nakamura Masahiro.

"Why did you have a conflict with Shimada Sensuke?"

"I just felt a little uncomfortable seeing him bullying Mei Xiang, and I was in a irritable mood, so I took action to deal with him."

Facing the gaze of his mother Mizuki Fukuda, Nakamura Masahiro said frankly: "It's just that I didn't expect that I would suffer a loss later."

"Yoshimoto Kogyo contacted Tomohiro and me and wanted to mediate the misunderstanding between you and Shimada Shinsuke."

Mother Mizuki Fukuda looked at Nakamura Masahiro with a calm face and said word by word: "Masahiro, what is your opinion?"

"Misunderstand?"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, Nakamura Masahiro sneered and said: "I don't think it's a misunderstanding. I'm sure Shimada Sensuke doesn't think so either..."

"Then I know what you mean..."

Mother Mizuki Fukuda nodded, understanding in her heart Masahiro Nakamura's intention to settle the score.

"Shimada Sensuke has a lot of dirty information, and he has a deep relationship with the Yakuza. It just so happens that the government wants to strengthen its crackdown on the Yakuza, so let's take action on him..."
