Chapter 12 Dismissal of members of the first semester
"What? are you going to quit? I heard you right!" asked Yoshio Konno again.
"Yes, Konno-san, we want to quit. Ayaka Yoshimoto said.
"What's the matter, is there any reason?" Yoshio Konno was still trying to change their decision, and Yui Nango next to him nodded, indicating that everything was negotiable.
"For no other reason, for the personal reasons of the two of us, Mr. Konno, please don't keep it any longer!" said Yoshimoto Ayaka and Yamamoto Honoka, bowing to him.
"Okay then, I can't make a decision on this question, I need to ask Mr. Akimoto, can I give you an answer as soon as possible?"
"Okay. The two men nodded.
The three of them went back to the training room, leaving Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango behind.
"Nango, what should I do," Yoshio Konno asked in distress, "It's okay to say the problem of Akimoto Shinna, but someone withdrew after only three days of the group's establishment, and it is still the established candidate for the center, what should I do?"
"Hurry up and call Mr. Kitagawa, ask him to inform Mr. Akimoto about this, I'll contact the boss, this matter is not something the two of us can solve. Nango thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll call right away!" After saying that, Konno took out his mobile phone and called Kenji Kitagawa.
On the other end of the phone, Kitagawa Kenji also expressed his shock at the news, and hurriedly contacted Akimoto Yasu, who thought that Akimoto Yasushi would be angry and blame the operation for not doing well, but he didn't expect to just answer lightly "I know", and then told Kitagawa Kenji the time of the afternoon meeting, these questions, and other issues will be discussed at the afternoon meeting. In this case, Kenji Kitagawa is a little confused. Kitagawa hurriedly called Konno and the others back, arranged a time for the afternoon meeting, and informed the others to get ready.
One o'clock in the afternoon. The 8th floor of the SME building.
Toshiryo Muramatsu, Kenji Kitagawa, Yasusu Akimoto, Yoshio Konno, Yui Minamigo, and several other operation-related staff were all in this conference room, and they discussed and decided on today's events at the meeting.
"Two people have decided to quit Nogizaka 46 for their own reasons, and we have tried but we have not been able to keep them. Nango Yui said.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Toshiryo Muramatsu.
"We don't know much about the specific situation, and the members don't have anything to say in detail, but both Yoshimoto Ayaka and Yamamoto Honoka said that they wanted to quit the group for personal reasons. Konno said, glancing at Yasushi Akimoto again. Yoshimoto Ayaka is the center he chose, and now the center is leaving, if Akimoto Yasu gets angry and blames Nogizaka for running this place badly, he will be the first to bear the brunt of the scolding.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere was cold.
"The two men are retired, which is a good thing for the group. After waiting for a while, Yasusu Akimoto said slowly, and the others looked at him with shocked expressions.
"I also found out yesterday that Yoshimoto Ayaka and Yamamoto Honoka went out to socialize the night before yesterday and were seen. Akimoto said: "These two people are not clean after joining the group, and they may be a potential threat to the group. Now that they have taken the initiative to withdraw, it seems that the two of them have a plan in their hearts, say it in advance, and change from passive to active, these two girls really have a lot of thoughts!"
Everyone was surprised by the words that came out of Akimotoyasu's mouth, it turned out that he had looked away, and now he also felt that these two people could not continue to stay in the group.
"Then according to the content of the contract, the two of them will be dismissed. Muramatsu Toshiryo said, but he thought in his heart that Nogizaka's private information about the members was not as fast as Yasuya Akimoto, which needed to be strengthened in the future.
Akimoto nodded in agreement.
"Ayaka Yoshimoto is gone, who will be the center of Nogizaka 46?" asked Kenji Kitagawa.
"I propose Rina Ikoma. Nango Yui said: "This thin girl has a huge amount of energy in her body, and she can come to Tokyo by herself at such a young age. From these two days together, I feel that she has the potential to become a center!"
"Rina Ikoma......" Kenji Kitagawa nodded thoughtfully. Yoshio Konno also nodded.
"What about Mr. Akimoto's opinion?" asked Muramatsu.
"I'm okay with that. Akimoto said, "Since everyone is optimistic about Ikoma Rina, it proves that this girl is really good, originally Yoshimoto and Ikoma were both the same, and now Yoshimoto can't do it, if Ikoma Rina comes to do it, no problem!"
"Well, let's not talk about it just yet, and I'll tell you when the first single is released. Muramatsu said.
The others nodded.
"Akimoto-san, Nogizaka 46's debut single will come out in two days, and when the time comes, I'll send it to you, and J will ask you to fill in the lyrics for this song!" Muramatsu said.
"Huh. That's what I do!" Akimoto smiled, and everyone else smiled.
"And this Akimoto Truesummer, because of academic problems, I want to stop my activities for a while. Yoshio Konno said again.
"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with this, I have the impression that Akimoto kid, the school didn't negotiate well, so there's no way, she's also a good rough stone, we shouldn't give up on her, I think we should be able to agree, she can ask it, prove that she still wants to be an idol, it's just that she didn't arrange her studies. After speaking, Akimoto Yasushi asked Shimomura Matsu Toshiryo's opinion with his eyes.
"No problem, just agree with what she said, just suspend activities for a while, and return when the academic problems are solved, we at Sony still have to help them think about it. After Muramatsu Toshiliang finished speaking, he also glanced at Akimoto Yasusu meaningfully.
Yoshio Konno nodded. The troublesome problem is finally solved.
Since everyone in Nogizaka's operation was gathered today because of these things, Konno also asked a few other questions by the way.
"The formula photos of the members on the official website have all been published, and we are ready to strengthen the professional training of the members in the near future, and the results are good so far. Yoshio Konno said.
"I've already written the script for Nogizaka 46's initial crown show, so I don't know if you have any good candidates for MC. Yasu Akimoto asked.
Everyone's eyes lit up, the meaning of Yasusu Akimoto's words is to prove that the members of Nogizaka 46 will soon have their own program group and will be able to appear on TV.
"I think the banana man should be a good fit for our Nogizaka 46 style. Nango Yui cautiously put forward his opinion.
"Banana man......" Akimoto thought about it, calculating the pros and cons in his heart.
Finally, a few minutes later, Yasu Akimoto also agreed to Yui Minamigo's proposal, and Kenji Kitagawa and Toshiyo Muramatsu had no opinion, so Toshiyo Muramatsu asked Yoshio Konno to make an appointment with Banana Man tomorrow, ready to talk to them about the MC of the Shimonozaka 46 program.
Konno nodded, indicating that he knew what he had done.
There were some minor issues that were said, and the meeting was over.
Kenji Kitagawa and Yasu Akimoto are back in the theater, Toshiryo Muramatsu is also gone, and Yoshio Konno and Yui Minamigo are left.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the problem was finally solved.
Yoshio Konno asked Yui Nango to call the three men over and tell them the outcome of their problem.
"We already know about the two of you. We have also discovered the problem of you going out in private to socialize. Yoshio Konno said seriously.
"We were hanging out with friends and didn't do anything. The two of them were obviously a little nervous, and they no longer had the confidence they had in their words.
"Well, since you have violated the provisions of the contract, and you have decided to withdraw, we will not keep you, give you the decision to dismiss, will you two accept it?"
"We accept ......," said Yoshimoto in a whisper after thinking for a while. Hono Yamamoto also expressed acceptance of the results.
"Okay, you can leave now, and after a while we will make public the dismissal decision of the two of you, I hope you don't expose too much of the things in the current group with the people around you, otherwise you will have unnecessary trouble. Yoshio Konno reminded.
"No, we know how to do it. Won't talk nonsense. The two men nodded in understanding.
"Yes, that's good. Konno waved his hand, signaling for the two to go.
Yoshimoto Ayaka and Yamamoto Honoka bowed to Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango respectively, and left the room in a hurry, took their things in the practice room, and left the SME building.
Akimoto Zhenxia looked at the dismissal of these two people, and her heart was also very shocked, it was enough to shock her when the two of them raised it this morning, but now she is turning over the river and the sea in her heart, thinking that her own problems will be the same as them......
"Manatsu-chan, don't be so nervous. As if seeing the uneasiness on Akimoto Masatsu's face, Nango Yui comforted.
"Well, Akimoto, you don't have to think about it, the operation has already agreed to the problem you raised, you can go and solve your academic affairs first, and agree to your request to suspend activities, but after your school's affairs are resolved, you have to come back immediately to combine here, oh, it can't be too late!" Konno Yoshio also comforted.
"Oh, really?" said Akimoto Manatsu incredulously. "Does the operation really agree to my request. ”
"Akimoto, do you really want to be an idol," Yoshio Konno didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Uh-huh, I want to do it. Akimoto Manatsu replied from the bottom of her heart, her serious eyes were full of affirmation, she was sincere.
"That's good, our operation at Nogizaka 46 won't easily give up on every girl with idol dreams, so don't worry!" Yoshio Konno said with a smile.
"Uh-huh, thank you, Mr. Konno!" he bowed to Yoshio Konno.
"Thank you Mr. Nango as well!" he said with a bow to Nango.
Later, Yoshio Konno instructed that if Akimoto Matsu was going to come back, remember to call Nango Yui in advance, and instructed her to do the same as the two people just now, hoping that she would not mention to others about the internal affairs of Nogizaka 46. Akimoto Masha nodded heavily, indicating that he knew what to do.
Coming out of the SME building, Akimoto Masha thought about today's events and the dismissal of those two people, and thought about it in his heart.
"Let's solve our own problems first. Tomorrow I will go to school and work hard, and strive to come back to the group as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will be left behind. Akimoto thought to himself.
