"That...... BOSS。 Yoshio Konno looked a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? Toshiyo Muramatsu saw that Yoshio Konno seemed to have something to say, and let him say it with confidence.

"As for the cost of Nogizaka's food, Nango should have mentioned it to you. Like Yui Nango, Yoshio Konno couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face when he mentioned this issue.

"Hehe, that's the problem, I've agreed to increase some of the funds, Nanxiang has already told him what to do. Do not worry. Muramatsu said with a smile.

"That's good. Yoshio Konno breathed a sigh of relief.

"It feels like you're with Nango...... They are more concerned about the food of the members. Toshiryo Muramatsu quipped.

"It's not that we care, it's that those members are arguing every time they can't eat, and Nango and I also have a headache......" Yoshio Konno said helplessly.

"Huh. The more Toshiryo Muramatsu listened, the more interesting he felt.

"You guys. I'm just too used to them. When AKB first started, there was no such treatment there, alas, ......," Kitagawa Kenji complained.

"We've also emphasized it, but every time Nanxiang and Nochu can't stand that kind of soft grinding and hard bubbles, they disarm and surrender without saying a few words. I'm also helpless, I'm afraid of being a 'traitor'!" Yoshio Konno spread his hands and continued to answer helplessly.

"Hahaha. This made the other people in the car laugh at the same time.

"Forget Kenji, since Nogizaka is independent of AKB, it doesn't have to be the same as AKB in other aspects, I understand what you mean, it's okay. Muramatsu Toshiryo said to Kenji Kitagawa.

"Well, I'll just mean it, nothing else. Kenji Kitagawa said with a smile.

"I know that the last time Ikoma had an accident, Kitagawa-san was very anxious. Yoshio Konno also said on the side.

"The knife is a tofu heart, Kenji wants to work hard to leave a fearful impression on the members, haha. Toshiryo Muramatsu also made a joke about Kenji Kitagawa.

"Well, I'll keep trying. Kenji Kitagawa said solemnly, and everyone continued to laugh.

"Konno, take care of Ikoma more, her family has asked me, in fact, to be honest, we can't really help her, you just look at it, don't do it deliberately, I think you should know. Muramatsu Junliang was silent for a while, and then said suddenly.

"Yes, I see. Yoshio Konno replied earnestly from his seat.

"What's wrong?" asked Kenji Kitagawa.

"It's nothing, it's just the old man of the Ikoma family, who asked me before. Hehe, but I never played a role. Muramatsu smiled.

"Ikoma family, are you saying that Ikoma is a descendant of that person?" Kitagawa Kenji was a little surprised.

"Well, it should be. Even if it's local, it's the descendants of the Chinese people. Muramatsu said.

"yes, I see. Kitagawa Kenji nodded understandingly.

"Speaking of which, the members of Nogizaka have okay family conditions, right?" asked Kenji Kitagawa to Yoshio Konno.

"According to the previous mobile phone data, most families have a fairly good income level, and few have a very difficult family. Yoshio Konno thought for a moment and continued: "But according to his usual performance, Nana Hashimoto is more concerned. ”

"Hmm, Hashimoto?" asked Kitagawa Kenji rhetorically, and Muramatsu Toshiryo was familiar with the name, and he listened attentively.

"I remember the first time I paid the members of Nogizaka, Hashimoto divided the money into three parts, one back to a friend who had borrowed it before, a small share for himself, and then sent the rest to the family. Yoshio Konno thought about it and said.

"How do you know it's sent home?" asked Kenji Kitagawa.

"After receiving my salary that morning, Hashimoto asked me at noon where it would be better to send the money, so I asked Nonaka to accompany her. According to my understanding with the two agents, most of Nanami Hashimoto's monthly salary is sent to the family, except for the necessary daily expenses and going out to eat, there are few other things to spend money. Yoshio Konno said.

"Huh? That's kind of weird. Kitagawa Kenji was also very curious.

"I've always felt that Hashimoto was a little different from the other members. In her, I can feel that idols are far more meaningful to her than interest. Konno continued, "Every time I talk to the members, I feel like Hashimoto is talking to the staff. ”

"Professional idols? Hehe, that's a lot of fun. Kitagawa Kenji touched his chin, and then said, "But she did a good enough job!"

"It's very good, I have a hunch that she will be the best in this group in the future. Yoshio Konno confirmed.

"Well, the more good people, the better, so that Nogizaka will become stronger and stronger. Muramatsu nodded.

When the plane landed, Muramatsu contacted the local Sony staff and sent a car to pick them up and take them to the seat of Mayor Oita.

"Ah, it looks like it's almost there. Looking at the scenery outside, Kenji Kitagawa took out his mobile phone and dialed the secretary of the mayor of Oita City, who had been contacted before.

"Hey. Hello, is it Koyama-kun? Yes, yes, yes, I'm Kenji Kitagawa who contacted you before, do you have time now, Mr. Mayor?" asked Kenji Kitagawa on the phone.

After getting "no problem. After replying, Kitagawa Kenji politely told the other party that the group was about to arrive, and then hung up the phone.

"Well, I heard you. After hanging up the phone, Muramatsu Junliang squinted his eyes and said, then patted the position of the driver in front of him and said, "Dongshan, I'll trouble you to wait for us below for a while." You can go around and walk around, hard work for you. ”

"It's okay, boss. Dongshan, who was driving, hurriedly said.

The car drove under the administrative building of the Oita City Hall, where Secretary Koyama was already waiting.

"Hello, Mr. Muramatsu. Secretary Koyama smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello. Toshiryo Muramatsu also shook hands politely, and then Secretary Koyama led them to Mayor Oita's office.

"Hello, Yamazaki-san, this is Mr. Toshiryo Muramatsu, the person in charge of our Nogizaka 46 group. Kenji Kitagawa introduced.

"Hello, Mayor Yamazaki. Muramatsu Junliang smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said.

"Hello, Muramatsu-kun. Mayor Yamazaki also shook Muramatsu Toshiryō's hand, and then beckoned everyone to sit down.

After a simple greeting, Toshiryo Muramatsu and his entourage first thanked Oita City for their publicity and strong support for the duel between Nogizaka 46 and Rino Fingerhara. However, having sat in the mayor's seat in Oita City for so many years and worked hard in politics for so long, my intuition told Yamazaki that these people were more than just thanks.

"Yamazaki-san, I heard that Rino Hara is your Oita City Tourism Ambassador, right?" Toshiryo Muramatsu inadvertently mentioned such a sentence, and Mayor Yamazaki's heart suddenly became clear.

"Sure enough, it's boring. Mayor Yamazaki thought to himself.

"Yes, she was our idol from Oita City, and now she can become a famous idol and be the most suitable ambassador for her hometown. Mayor Yamazaki's words contain too much information.

"Well, that's of course. Muramatsu Junliang smiled and nodded, thinking that it was really a mixed political circle, and his words were not leaky.

"Nogizaka seems to have been born in Oita as a member. Toshiryo Muramatsu looked at Yoshio Konno.

"Yes, there are two members who are also natives of Oita. Yoshio Konno nodded and said.

"Hmm. Toshiryo Muramatsu nodded, as did Mayor Yamazaki.

Then several people talked about the question of the tourism ambassador for a while, and the pressure on Muramatsu Toshiryo became more and more intense. The other party was really calm.

"Actually, this time, I wanted to discuss something with you as a side of Nogizaka. Finally, Muramatsu Junliang felt that he couldn't go on like this, and thought about simply changing from passive to active. There was a direct showdown.

"What do you mean, Muramatsu-kun?" Mayor Yamazaki asked deliberately.

"Well, the tourism ambassador, Oita City is so big, if there is only one person in Shihara, maybe the publicity is still a little worse. Muramatsu said.

"Do you mean, plus the two of you?" Mayor Yamazaki said in a flat tone.

"It's people who want to join us, but it's not just one or two, it's the whole of Nogizaka 46. Toshiyo Muramatsu mentioned.

After Toshiryo Muramatsu said it, Kenji Kitagawa and Yoshio Konno, who came with him, both showed shocked expressions.

"But we already have the point, so we don't need that much. Maybe I'm really sorry this time......" Mayor Yamazaki was about to politely refuse, but Toshiryo Muramatsu said another word.

"If possible, Sony will do its best to help the members with the promotion of Oita City, and the artists under Sony Music will take care of it more or less, so let's help. Toshiryo Muramatsu looked at Mayor Yamazaki and continued, "I think this will help you, Yamazaki-san." ”

"Indeed, if that's the case, the economy here will grow, and it will be good for me. Yamazaki didn't speak, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, in addition to thinking about these things again, in fact, she was still waiting for another sentence.

"There's one more thing I'd like to talk to you about separately with Mayor Yamazaki. Can you ......" Muramatsu Toshiryo glanced at Secretary Koyama.

"I see, Xiaoshan-kun, then you can go out for a while. Mayor Yamazaki said.

"Yes. Xiaoshan nodded, ready to leave the office.

Toshiyo Muramatsu made a color, and Yoshio Konno and Kenji Kitagawa left the office at the same time.

"And there's that. After everyone left the room, Toshiryo Muramatsu took out a card from his coat pocket and handed it to Mayor Yamazaki.

"This is Sony's product VIP card, which contains a limit of 800,000 yen, and you can buy any Sony product at will, and if the 800,000 yen in it is used up, if you continue to shop with this card, you can also enjoy a 7.5% discount. Toshiyo Muramatsu introduced.

"I can't ask for this card. Mayor Yamazaki hurriedly pushed back, saying that he couldn't accept it.

"Hehe, Yamazaki-san, haven't you thought about it too much, this time Nogizaka can be stained with the light of your Oita, as the person in charge of Nogizaka, I have to thank you on behalf of our side, right? So please take it and don't let our gratitude go to waste. Muramatsu Toshiryo bowed to Mayor Yamazaki and said, in fact, when he introduced it just now, Muramatsu Toshiliang had already noticed the feeling that Mayor Yamazaki had revealed in an instant after hearing the actual effect of the card, and pushed back just to give her a convenient step here.

In that case, I had no choice but to accept it. Sure enough, this time Yamazaki didn't push it back, but put it directly in his pocket.

"I've also considered your proposal just now, and if what you said can be realized, it's no problem to let Nogi be our tourism ambassador here. "Now that I've taken something, it's time for Yamazaki to get down to business.

"Don't worry, no problem. Muramatsu nodded.

"Then, happy cooperation, I will let Xiaoshan arrange this as soon as possible. This time, it was Yamazaki who took the initiative to stand up and stretch out his hand.

"Hehe, okay, next time I'll let Yoshio Konno sign the contract on behalf of Nogizaka. Muramatsu said with a smile and shook Yamazaki's hand.

"Then I'll take my leave. Muramatsu bowed slightly and left Yamazaki's office.

"Xiaoshan-kun, please come in for a moment. After Muramatsu left, Yamazaki called Oyama in and prepared to make a decision about the Nogizaka 46 Oita City Tourism Ambassador.

"800,000? You're really ......" On the way back, Kitagawa Kenji heard the gift from Toshiryo Muramatsu to Mayor Yamazaki, and he didn't know what to say.

"800,000 to buy a place for a tourism ambassador. Maybe you don't think it's necessary, but I think it's worth it. Muramatsu said.

"But it's really useless. We lost it ourselves. Kitagawa Kenji said with a sad face.

"Hehe, you can't say that, Kenji. Remember what I said, we Nogizaka can't always be led by the nose by AKS and Yasuya Akimoto. Muramatsu said earnestly.

"Alright, alright. Give it to you, and when you go back, urge them to know! Konno!" Kitagawa Kenji said loudly even though he was sitting in the car.

"Hahaha. The crowd laughed.

"It's still early, so there's no need to rush back. Toshiryo Muramatsu looked at his watch. And then he said.

"What, do you have anything else?" asked Kenji Kitagawa.

"There is another important thing. Muramatsu said solemnly.

"What's the matter?" Kitagawa Kenji looked at Muramatsu Toshiliang suspiciously,

"It's time to eat. Muramatsu Toshiryo said something that was shocking.

"Hahahaha. Kitagawa Kenji smiled and covered his stomach, and even Muramatsu Toshiryo himself smiled.

"I see, what kind of boss there is, what kind of employees there are. Yoshio Konno, who was sitting in front, secretly complained in his heart.

Then the driver Higashiyama took three people to a famous sushi restaurant in Oita City, and since it was Muramatsu who invited guests, several people let go of their stomachs and ate a lot.
