On Sunday morning, Asuka Saito returned to Nogizaka's dormitory early. When I came back, I found Nanami Hashimoto as soon as possible. After two days of resting at home, the loss from the selection group has improved significantly, and after coming back, he has become the little bird who loves to laugh, and Nanami Hashimoto is also relieved. After discussing with several other members, Nanami Hashimoto, Asuka Saito, Reika Sakurai, Yumi Wakatsuki, Yuri Saito, Mai Fukagawa and others decided to go out shopping together in the afternoon to change their mood.

Similarly, at this time, in the SME building, Yoshio Konno and others were receiving two important guests who came to visit today.

"Please wait a minute, Akimoto-san, Muramatsu-san has something to do now, and I'll be over in a while. Yoshio Konno apologized again. Yasu Akimoto came here today with Rino Tsuhara, in order to discuss the next step about the showdown between Nogizaka 46 and AKB48 Rino Tsuhara, but Toshiliang Muramatsu had an urgent meeting to hold temporarily, so he had to ask Yoshio Konno and Kenji Kitagawa to ask Yasushi Akimoto to sit here and wait for a while.

"Hehe, it's fine. Yasu Akimoto said with a smile, and sitting next to him was Rino Tsuhara, who had become a little nervous from the moment he entered the building.

"Should you say lucky or unlucky, I mean? It's up to you. On the way here, Akimoto Yasusu said such a sentence to Rino Shihara inexplicably, and Rino Shihara has been thinking about the meaning of it.

"I'll take a look. Kitagawa Kenji said, ready to go to Muramatsu Toshiryo to have a look, after all, you can't ask people to wait all the time, Akimoto Yasushi is not a very gentle person. Yes, if he gets angry, it's troublesome.

"Hehe, I haven't worked so much this afternoon, what about you?" Akimoto Yasushi seemed to be in a good mood, and asked Rino Zhihara next to him.

"I'm fine...... Hey, Mr. Akimoto, today is a day off, how can I be in trouble?" Rina Akimoto squinted and laughed.

"These two people have a pretty good relationship...... "Yoshio Konno thought to himself.

"Hehe, Konno-san, this one is delicious, is there anything else?" said Akimotoyasu, pointing to a box of refreshments on the table.

"Yes, yes, yes....." Yoshio Konno hurriedly took out another box from the cook next to him, and felt very embarrassed in his heart: This fat man is really relaxed today.

"Mr. Akimoto, I feel like you're a little embarrassed......" Rino Zhihara covered her mouth and complained with a smile. Akimoto waved his hand disapplausively.

"I haven't eaten at noon today, for your sake. Akimoto took a sip of tea and glanced at Hara Rino.

"Hey, didn't Takai-san cook for you at noon?" Rina Zhihara expressed interest, and the fire of gossip in his heart burned again.

"It's not like that. Generally, I don't eat at home on weekends when I have a job. What's going on in your head, Zhiyuan, don't speculate about my life, you know?" said Akimotoyasu, wiping his hands with a tissue.

"Got it, Mr. Akimoto. Rina Fingerhara nodded stupidly, looked at Akimoto Yasu's face nervously, and found that the expression on his face had not changed much, and he was silently relieved.

This refers to Rino Hara, although the complaints are sometimes very sharp, but she will always know how to judge the situation and know how to stop in moderation, her emotional intelligence has always been favored by Yasu Akimoto.

"You have grabbed a lot of shots on the show recently, so pay a little attention to yourself. Akimoto wiped his eyes and said casually.

"Got it, Mr. Akimoto...... Obviously, you taught us to take advantage of the opportunity. Rino muttered quietly.

"Then I didn't want you to shoot other people's footage, did I...... I don't carry this. Akimoto said very "innocently".

The two of them were chatting sentence by sentence now, and Yoshio Konno, who was accompanying him, was surprised by the conversation between the two in his heart, and at the same time felt his own embarrassing situation, so he had to sit there and laugh all the time.

"Beichuan San, come back soon...... I'm so embarrassed. "Yoshio Konno is in a broken mood right now.

"I've been waiting, I'm sorry. Kitagawa Kenji pushed the door in, followed by Toshiyo Muramatsu, who everyone had been waiting for for a long time.

"It's a bit too much, and I'm really sorry that I want you to wait for a long time. Toshiryo Muramatsu also said.

"It's okay, not for long. Yasu Akimoto smiled and stretched out his hand and shook it with Toshiryo Muramatsu.

"This is Rino Hara. Toshiryo Muramatsu saw the girl standing next to Yasushi Akimoto and took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, I'm Rino Kashihara from AKB48. Rino Tsukahara also gratefully held Muramatsu Toshiryō's outstretched hand, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Well, about the plan for the upcoming second single of Nogizaka 46 and the upcoming solo solo single of AKB Rina Hirohara......" After everyone sat down, Kitagawa Kenji took out two plans that had already been produced from the folder and handed them to Yasushi Akimoto and Toshiryo Muramatsu respectively.

"On the issue of the press conference, I hope that there will be a session where the two sides can talk harshly to each other. Yasu Akimoto finished reading the plan and handed it to Rino Shihara, who was beside him, and said. After Rino took it, she also carefully watched the contents of the proposal.

"Well, it just so happens that we are also going to give the members of the future Nogizaka candidates a chance to experience. Muramatsu nodded brightly, and also handed over the plan to Yoshio Konno next to him.

"Well, do you have any thoughts about this project?" Akimoto Yasushi said with a deep look at Rino Hara, who was also seen by Toshiryo Muramatsu.

"In the showdown with Nogizaka-chan, to be honest, I don't have any confidence. Although I have an AKB48 behind me, this time after all, I am alone, and I don't have such confidence. But I didn't want to turn down this project because it was important for me personally, and it was also an important opportunity for Nogizaka-chan. If Nogizaka-chan wins this matchup, it will be a good match for the title of "AKB48 Public Opponent". Even then, the loss was just a personal loss for me, and nothing changed for AKB. So, this time I'm going to try very hard to fight against Nogizaka-chan, and then unfortunately lose the duel. It's just that I hope my throw in the towel. Rinai said very sincerely and seriously.

Referring to the original Rina, he finally said the choice he made, not as a passive party, but as a person who took the initiative to propose it, and he could set up a price code by himself. Akimoto Yasu's words that day, after she went back, she thought about it carefully, and understood that this was a dueling that was bound to lose, and how to turn defeat into victory from this duel that had already been declared a defeat before it even began, and Rino Shihara finally found a way.

"Say what you want, Miss Hara. Toshiryo Muramatsu hid his surprise and motioned for Rino Hara to continue.

"Resources, I need resources. I hope that with the help of Sony Music, I can get more opportunities, and I hope to get support for this year's general election. Rina Shihara was scared, but on the surface she still calmly said what she wanted.

She was gambling, in front of these big people, betting on what she guessed in her heart.

"Can be considered. Your request. After being silent for a long time, Toshiryo Muramatsu spoke.

Rino Kahara breathed a sigh of relief, she won the bet.

"In that case, let's discuss it later. Seeing the situation, Akimoto Yasushi hurriedly finalized this matter, the only major matter that he came here today was finally discussed, and the others were just small things in form, referring to the fact that Hara Rino really did not disappoint Akimoto Yasu, and understood the meaning of what he said.

Change from reactive to proactive so that you don't fall prey.

"Well, I hope Akimoto-san won't make us too embarrassed by then. Muramatsu Junliang deliberately reminded.

"No, don't worry. Akimoto said with a smile.

Next, a few people discussed the specific aspects of the planning and operation, and how to maximize publicity and profits. In fact, the predetermined ending is just a scene, a play where everyone involved already knows the ending except for the members and fans of Nogizaka 46.

"Okay, so be it. Please send me the song as soon as possible, and I will do the work of filling in the lyrics as soon as possible. Akimoto said.

"Well, so be it. Muramatsu replied, and everyone stood up and shook hands in farewell.

"Thank you very much, Muramatsu-san. Finally, Rino Shihara bowed and Toshiryo Muramatsu thanked him. The two were sent out of the building by Yoshio Konno and put into the car that had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Good job, Original. This time it's actually you who won the showdown. In the car, Yasu Akimoto said to Rino Shihara, who was still in shock.

"Mr. Akimoto, it's really scary,. I think it's so unrealistic, but I really did it!"

"They will agree, and they can only agree. Akimoto smiled. There was a sparkle of wisdom in his eyes.

"Alright, Arihara, do you have anything else to do next?" asked Akimoto.

"No, Mr. Akimoto. What's wrong?" Rino Tsuhara asked rhetorically.

"Then you can go to another place with me. Akimoto said.

"Where, Mr. Akimoto, won't you take me to meet some big guy again?" said Rino Shihara with some excitement.

"No, I just want you to go to dinner with me, I'm still hungry. Akimoto glanced at her and said.

Both of them burst out laughing.

"This refers to Rino Hara......" After Akimoto Yasushi and the two left, Muramatsu Toshiryo said silently.

"I didn't expect to be countered by her. It's really not that simple. Kenji Kitagawa said. Originally, this project, Nogizaka management will do its best to let Nogizaka 46 win this showdown, AKS also wants to see this, pointing out that Rino Hara is a cannon fodder-like existence, but now that she has taken the initiative to bring it up, the situation has become completely different.

"Did Yasu Akimoto ask him to do this?" asked Toshiryo Muramatsu.

Akimoto Yasu didn't say it directly, but reminded Rino Fingerhara from the side that it was possible to do so. Kenji Kitagawa replied.

And then she really thought about it and did it. Muramatsu Junliang said lightly.

"I didn't expect to be put on the table by Akimoto Yasu. Kitagawa Kenji spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hehe, it's not certain who will put whom together. Muramatsu Junliang smiled and said.

"How?" said Kitagawa Kenji, questioning.

"From the beginning and the last handshake, as well as the performance just now, I saw ambition in the eyes of the girl Rino Shihara. Muramatsu said.

"Forgot what she just said? General election, she mentioned. I think that's what she's really trying to do, and she needs us to help her with the resources to get a better place in the general election. Toshiyo Muramatsu continued.

"So, it means that her purpose is ......" Kenji Kitagawa also guessed a certain possibility, and was surprised.

"That's right, it's the first place in the AKB general election, the apex of AKB48, and I see in her the arrogance that only careerists have. Muramatsu nodded in confirmation.

"No, although A-chan is about to graduate, there are Yuko Oshima, Mayu Watanabe, and Haruka Shimazaki who Yasusu Akimoto looks at differently. It's not her turn. Kitagawa Kenji still can't believe that Rino Shihara, who has always been said to be a waste of firewood, turned out to be an ambitious careerist.

"So, she's a careerist, because she's going to destroy, she's going to take these. Muramatsu said.

"Then why did we put them together?" asked Kenji Kitagawa.

"Think about it, if one day in the future, Fingerhara really ascends to that position, in the same way, Nogizaka 46 once defeated Rina Fingerhara in a duel, isn't this black history more beneficial to us?" Muramatsu said confidently.

"But she has to really get to that position. Kitagawa Kenji sighed.

"Since Akimoto Yasushi thinks that she has been pushed out this time, she has also done this, which shows that her emotional intelligence and ability are indeed good enough, and if we add our help, there will be a lot more hope. What do you say?" asked Muramatsu rhetorically.

"Hmm. Since you're all optimistic about her, I'll help her a little bit more over there. Kitagawa Kenji nodded.

"Hehe, Kenji. Neither of us will lose this time, but whoever will gain more will want to be on that side. Muramatsu Junliang took a sip of tea and said.

"By the way, did you tell the members about it?" asked Muramatsu Toshiryō.

"Not yet, I'll tell you when it's decided where Nogizaka is. Kenji Kitagawa said.

"Yes, yes. Muramatsu Toshiliang nodded and continued: "If you are free and the members of the non-selection group, please also say that according to what Akimoto Yasusu said before, the songs that belong to them in the second single will also have PV shooting this time...... Let them be happy, too. ”

"Understood. Kenji Kitagawa replied.

"Referring to Rino Hara, hehe...... A careerist, we Nogizaka 46, are also ambitious, one day. Standing in front of the window, these words gradually came to Muramatsu's mind.
