Shinichi Iwahashi asked her slowly, "What peaceful termination?"

Okada Yukiko said that, knowing that he was reckless, he felt embarrassed for a while, "I'm sorry." After apologizing, I told him about Yoko Minamino again.

She knew that she was reckless, but even so, she didn't dismiss the idea of telling him about it.

Iwahashi Shinichi frowned, and after listening to the dispute between Yoko Minamino and the office relayed by Yukiko Okada, he always felt that this was something he shouldn't know.

The head of the other firm has a tense relationship with the boss and wants to terminate the contract and leave. This kind of thing, unless it is the next family she has contacted, and she originally planned to take her in, otherwise it will be fishy if she asks.

It is said that regardless of whether Yoko Minamino has any plans to terminate the contract, she should not disclose such a thing to industry insiders.

Yukiko Okada herself knew that she had crossed the line, and when she finished speaking, she apologized to him again, and emphasized, "Yoko-chan doesn't know anything, it's me who makes the decision and wants to ask Iwahashi-san if there is such a way......"

The more she spoke, the more sad she felt, and her tone was low.

I called Shinichi Iwahashi not only to discuss with him, but also to get comfort from him. Yoko Minamino's experience reminded Yukiko Okada of herself.

"Is Kiko Arikiko worried about Minamino-san?" Iwahashi Shinichi sensed her mood and deliberately diverted the topic to comfort her.

Yukiko Okada said "um", "Yoko-chan is very hard, and I'm worried that she won't be able to bear it." Although she herself plans to terminate the contract with the firm, she doesn't know exactly what to do......"

She is also an idol who has signed a contract with the firm, and knows how difficult it is to terminate the contract when the firm has the right of first refusal. Moreover, the president of the office is still an influential figure in the music industry like Shunichi Tsukura. Even if the contract can be terminated, as long as Toshitoshi Takura speaks, the music industry will sell his face, and Yoko Minamino's music career will come to an end.

This kind of thing on the table is not something that can be resolved with a little care.

The more Okada Yukiko thought about it, the more frustrated she felt, and apologized to Shinichi Iwahashi, "...... Recklessly, he told Iwahashi-san about this, and asked this kind of question. I'm sorry. ”

She apologized one after another, and Iwahashi listened to it, knowing that she felt uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter. He comforted Yukiko Okada, "When a friend encounters such a thing, he must not sit idly by." Even if I can't help, I want to be at least by my side. ”

"Hmm......" Yukiko Okada said to him, "I really wanted to be able to do something for Yoko-chan." ”

There have been times when I was forced by tremendous pressure and had no way out. This experience made Yukiko Okada feel the urge to do something for her no matter what, when she faced Yoko Minamino, who was more than one or two times worse than her former situation. Or "determination".

On that day a few years ago, the person who watched "Francis" with her was Yoko Minamino.

Yukiko Okada said, smiling on the phone, as if she was cheerful again, "But if I can't do anything, I'll be her friend and always be on her side." ”

Shinichi Iwahashi heard the cheerful voice of Yukiko Okada, and believed that she would definitely do it.

In fact, if you want to avoid the worst outcome, there is only one way to avoid the worst outcome, which is to find a reliable next home in advance. There is a next family to take over, and a new office acts as a cushion between the artist and the former office, so that it will not be hard to face.

Despite this, he didn't mention this stubble to Yukiko Okada on the phone.

If Yoko Minamino has the heart to terminate the contract, she will not tear her face single-handedly, and she will definitely take action.

......

In the plastics industry, there is no telling when there will be cooperation between different firms, and if there are resources to exchange, they will not tear their faces for an artist.

But Toshiichi Tsukura is an exception.

After Yukiko Okada told Shinichi Iwahashi about this, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't take it to heart, but he didn't forget it either. The next day, when he went to U-MIZ to run errands, he remembered it and casually asked Watanabe Manyumi, "What kind of person is Toshikazu-san?"

"Toshikazu Tsukura?"

Watanabe Manyumi reacted, "If you want to ask me what kind of person he is, I can't tell." But as a composer and producer, he is also a leading figure in the industry. ”

"I do know that he was a censor for 'STAR!!' Iwahashi Shinichi casually mentioned.

Watanabe Manyumi was curious, "Why did you suddenly think of asking about Tsukura-san?"

"Curious. He told her, "Yoko Minamino seems to be an entertainer in his office." I didn't expect Tsukura-san to be so good at running artists. ”

When it comes to contract disputes and the like, Yukiko Okada tells Shinichi Iwahashi that he has already crossed the line, and now he won't even get up in front of Watanabe Manyumi.

"I see. Watanabe Manyumi nodded, "To be honest, Minamino-san can become popular, more because of her personal charm." ”

This is something that can only be said in the office, in front of one's own people—the truth.

"Tsukura-san's office, if it weren't for Minamino-san, I'm afraid it would have closed down a long time ago. "These things are better known to Watanabe Manyumi.

Shunichi Tsukura's office is only the size of sesame mung beans, and there are few artists, except for Yoko Minamino, who is popular, the rest can't even be called miscellaneous fish, and it can almost be said that it is completely dependent on operating Yoko Minamino to maintain its operation. Even Yoko Minamino, it's not so much that Toshikazu Tsukura is popular, but that she fights for her own luck.

Even, if she hadn't signed with Toshikazu Tokura's office, it might be even more popular than now.

"I see. Shinichi Iwahashi learned her tone.

Watanabe Manyumi smiled and thought for a moment, "You probably want to invite Yoko Minamino to participate in the project, right?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of how he suddenly had the interest to inquire about Yoko Minamino's office.

"Not sure. Iwahashi Shinichi said perfunctorily.

After listening to Watanabe's words, he realized that the basic method of changing jobs in advance, such as finding the next home in advance, is difficult for Yoko Minamino.

The only card for her firm is her, and once she terminates the contract, there is no other way for the firm to go out of business. Drawing the only card in Toshiichi Tsukura's hand is a way to make a feud.

Whichever firm wants to accept her is to bring an enemy to himself at the same time. With the value of Yoko Minamino, is it really worth offending Shunichi Tsukura for her?

Does Yoko Minamino herself know her situation? Iwahashi Shinichi remembered what Yukiko Okada said, "I will always be by her side," and suddenly felt that this is the only sentence that is the most reliable and reliable.

"Nozaki-kun told me that Akina-san took three days off after the concert – she didn't talk about work during the holidays. That's why it's a bit of a delay. ”

He wanted to sell Guanzi, and Watanabe Manyumi simply diverted the topic, "Wait until tomorrow, the plan and song samples will be delivered to her." ”

"Hmm. Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.
