Chapter 11: Showdown
"Ernie-chan, why didn't you invite Akemi-chan to join you at tonight's event?"
After the car was parked, Ling Nai suddenly grabbed Lin Xiuyi, who was about to open the door and get out of the car, and asked him a little puzzled. It's not that Reina is unwilling to come out with Lin Xiuyi, but she is worried about whether Lin Xiuyi and Akemi, who have just made some progress, have something awkward.
"What's the matter, let's see what's weird together?"
Lin Xiuyi asked his sister a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Ling Nai had such a big reaction.
"I mean, didn't you have something to do with Akemi-chan? Shouldn't you come with your lover to attend such an event? Leaving your girlfriend behind and taking your sister to an event organized by a friend is really strange!"
"Is this ...... Rena-chan, in fact, Akemi will also be present at today's event. However, Miss Sae from the office specially called me to bring you with me, saying that I could take you here to see it. As for Akemi, Miss Sae will take care of everything for her. ”
Lin Xiuyi explained to Reina, and the smart Reina quickly understood Sae's intention to make this arrangement. probably didn't want Akemi and Lin Xiuyi to appear in front of the media together.
"However, why would Ernie sauce accept Sister Sae's arrangement. Wouldn't you like to be with Akemi-chan at today's event?"
After listening to Lin Xiuyi's explanation, and seeing Lin Xiuyi's unconcerned demeanor, Ling Nai couldn't help but be a little curious about Lin Xiuyi's attitude on this matter.
"Why can't it be accepted. Although I'm dating Akemi-chan right now, Akemi-chan also has her own business! Last time, we had already caused a lot of trouble for Akemi-chan because of a momentary negligence, so I thought it would be better to accept Ms. Sae's arrangement. I don't want to embarrass Akemi-chan anymore because of myself. Besides, you're a member of the entertainment industry now, and although I have limited connections in this area, I can help you more or less if I ask Mr. Fujiki!"
Lin Xiu finished telling Ling Nai his thoughts, and then pushed open the car door and left his car. And Ling Nai also immediately got out of the car and followed in Lin Xiuyi's footsteps. Ling Nai looked at Lin Xiuyi's back, and suddenly felt that her brother turned out to be a very considerate dating partner. Although he doesn't say anything, he knows how to consider the other party's situation from Akemi's standpoint. No wonder Akemi likes her brother so much!
Because of Lin Xiuyi's identity as a police officer, he couldn't expose himself too much to the public. In addition, he is not a member of the entertainment industry himself. So he didn't walk on the red carpet from the main entrance of the theater like the other guests who attended the event together. Lin Xiuyi deliberately parked the car in the underground parking lot, and then he and Ling Nai took the elevator to the upstairs hall.
As the elevator doors slowly opened. Lin Xiuyi and Akemi saw a lot of people they didn't know gathering together in twos and threes, talking to each other. Looks like they're in the right place.
Lin Xiuyi took Akemi's little hand and walked forward a few steps, and soon came to the area around the guardrail. After showing his invitation to the security personnel in charge of maintaining order. The staff pulled the rope on the guardrail and let Lin Shuichi and Reina walk in.
"Reina-chan, it seems that there are really a lot of guests at today's event!"
"Hmm...... A lot of them are celebrities that you see on TV? But, Ernie sauce, what are we going to do now?"
"Let's go see where Akemi-chan is, and then let's go with Akemi-chan to say hello to Mr. Fujiki......"
Lin Xiuyi leaned into Ling Nai's ear and whispered two sentences. Then he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Akemi, telling Akemi where he was. After a while, he received a reply from Akemi.
"Looks like it's on the other side of the hall, let's go over now!"
As soon as Lin Xiu said that, he took Ling Nai's little hand and walked forward. The two passed through the crowd of guests who had come to attend the premiere. From time to time, someone looked at them with curious eyes, although there were many guests at the scene, but Mingmei's tall figure made Lin Xiu see her in the crowd at a glance.
"It's been a long wait!"
Lin Xiu walked up to Akemi with a smile on his face, and then asked Akemi with concern.
"No, I just came in!"
Akemi smiled and shook her head, and replied to Lin Xiuyi.
"Officer Lin, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!"
A voice suddenly came from behind Lin Xiuyi, and after Lin Xiuyi heard it, he hurriedly turned around, only to see that the person who spoke just now was more and more Akemi's agent Takashima Sae. I saw that Takashima Sae had a professional smile on his face, and nodded to Lin Xiu, and Lin Xiuyi and Reina hurriedly returned the salute to each other when they saw this. After everyone said hello, Takashima Sae said politely to Lin Xiuyi:
"Officer Lin, Akemi has been taken care of by you a lot before, as an agent, I naturally want to thank you, this time, you are willing to introduce Akemi-chan to Mr. Fujiki, it is really a great favor for us!"
"Ah...... Ms. Takashima, you are so kind, I have caused a lot of trouble to Akemi and you because of me, and now if I can do a little bit for Akemi and you, I should do my best......"
"Officer Lin is too modest, by the way, Officer Lin, can you please take a step to speak!"
After some politeness, Takashima Sae suddenly whispered to Lin Xiuyi with some caution. After Lin Xiu nodded in agreement, Takashima Sae immediately pulled Lin Xiuyi to the side, avoiding the sight of Reina and Akemi.
The two walked a long way forward together. It wasn't until Sae Takashima confirmed that she wouldn't be heard by Akemi and Reina that she lowered her voice and whispered to Lin Shuichi.
"Officer Lin, you and I are both adults, so I will simply confess to you directly! As for the relationship between you and Akemi, I and the firm are strongly opposed. Akemi is a popular star that Hirata is currently working hard to create. Once the media breaks the news about the romance between her and you. We at Hirata Office cannot afford such a loss. In addition, when Akemi joined Hirata Office, she also signed a brokerage contract with the firm, although the contract does not prohibit her from falling in love with you, but it clearly stipulates that if the artist causes losses to the firm due to love and other reasons, the firm has the right to terminate the contract with the parties and require the parties to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages. Of course, we don't want to get into trouble with Akemi like that, but I hope you can understand that the bad effects of celebrities' emotional lives are not something that you can understand as an ordinary person!"
