Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Wakatsuki Yumi Sticker Incident
"Konno-san, it's not good, something is wrong!" Nango Yui hurriedly pushed open the door of Yoshio Konno's office, and hurriedly said as soon as he entered, the beads of sweat on his forehead came out.
"What's wrong Nango?" Yoshio Konno wondered. Nango Yui is basically with the members.,I'll watch when I'm fine.,This kind of Nango Yui Imano Yoshio is really the first time I've seen it.。 "Could it be that something happened to the members while they were recording the show?" this is the possibility that Konno thought for a moment.
"Please take a look at this. Nango Yui opened the laptop he was holding and quickly pulled up a few photos.
"This is!" After seeing the photo, Yoshio Konno's eyes widened, and he was speechless in surprise by the content of the photo.
"Someone suddenly broke out on the forum of Nogizaka 46 this morning, and now the number of hits has exceeded 4,000, and even though I deleted a large part of the post through permission, there are still people who keep re-uploading these photos. Nanxiang Wei said helplessly, when he found out, he started to delete it as soon as possible, but his own deletion was far less fast than the spread on the Internet, and he was really powerless.
"The two of us can't handle this matter, so hurry up and contact Kitagawa San, Akimoto-san, and the boss, we can't make a decision. Yoshio Konno immediately came up with a solution to the current grim situation.
"Okay, I'll go and inform Kitagawa Sang right away, and the boss will trouble you. After Nango Yui finished speaking, he hurriedly went out and called Kenji Kitagawa.
Konno gritted his teeth, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.
"Hey, yes, I'm Konno, are you busy right now...... That's the case, this morning, a photo of a close headpost with a man was revealed among the members of Nogizaka, and there is no way to control it...... Yes, yes, Mr. Akimoto has been informed of them...... Okay, I'll get ready right away. Putting down the phone, Konno breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried to prepare for the emergency meeting that was about to start.
"Hello everyone, is there something big wrong in the group?" Akimoto Yasushi hurriedly walked into the conference room with Kitagawa Kenji, and after receiving a call from Nango Yui, Kitagawa Kenji didn't delay for a moment, and immediately found Akimoto Yasushi and told him that there was a big problem here in Nogizaka, and he needed to go over and take a look, and then the two of them came immediately.
"Look at these. Muramatsu put a few photos on the table and printed them out for convenience. The two of them sat on the chairs, took the photos, and looked at them carefully.
"What is this?" Akimoto raised his glasses and said, "Yumi Wakatsuki?"
"That's right, it's Yumi Wakatsuki, the first student of Nogizaka. Yoshio Konno said.
The photo is a couple of couples' headposts, in which the men and women behave very intimately, and they look very affectionate. And the heroine in the sticker is Yumi Wakatsuki, who is now one of the 46 members of Nogizaka.
"When did this come out. Yasu Akimoto asked.
"Well, the detailed time is not very clear, and many people have already seen it when I found out, although I have been deleting it, but there is no way to delete it. Nango Yui said anxiously.
"Then how can you delete it cleanly. Akimoto said.
"Now even 2CH is talking about these photos. Kenji Kitagawa, who was sitting next to him, looked at the phone screen and said.
"Have you checked with me, is it the most recent, or before joining the group? Akimoto asked seriously.
"Yes, I've confirmed with me, Wakatsuki Yumi admits that the person in the photo is her, but it's not the most recent, it was taken a few years ago, Wakazuki Yumi and the boy he dated at the time took it, it's been separated for a long time, and there has been no contact, seeing these photos, Wakatsuki herself is also shocked, and now we want her to stay alone in Nanxiang's office, with an agent accompanying her, and we don't ask her to go back to the practice room. Konno replied.
"So, what exactly should I do?" Muramatsu Toshiryo asked Yasushi Akimoto, "Do you want to be dismissed?"
Akimoto thought about it carefully, and then said: "First of all, when we established the group, we made it clear that we can not blame the members for some things before joining the group, but after joining the group, we can't have any more problems." Ruoyue's incident was a few years ago, maybe she didn't care about it herself, and forgot that this was our mistake and didn't investigate these problems in advance. Then, this matter is not big, but it is small but it also has some effect, but it will not affect too much of Nogizaka 46's plan, so don't worry too much, because it is not a recent thing. Finally, Yumi Wakazuki is a girl who I think has a very good potential, and we shouldn't give up on her, she has very different qualities. Writing is my opinion. ”
"Does it really not have a big impact on the group?" Nango Yui asked anxiously, in fact, he was the most anxious person in this meeting, because he usually spent the most time with the members, everyone's efforts, as well as seriousness, dreams, and sweat, he saw it in his eyes, and unconsciously he was also moved by them, even if these girls were still fantasizing about one day being able to surpass the unrealistic dream of AKB, but they were all working hard.
"Hehe, please calm down. Looking at Nango Yui's appearance, Akimoto said with a smile.
"Ahem. Muramatsu also coughed twice.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper, I'm sorry. Nanxiang Wei bowed slightly, adjusting his emotions, it is true that his performance just now was a little out of shape, and this morning's events have made his head bigger.
"Hehe, young man, it's okay. Akimoto Yasu smiled, and then continued: "The current Nogizaka 46 is like a blank piece of paper, there is nothing on it, and we don't know what kind of picture they can sketch in the future, this matter is like a small fountain pen tip dotting a dot on it, if you don't look carefully, it won't be found at all, and when it develops in the future and is painted with various colors, this tiny black spot will be obscured." Fortunately, it didn't happen recently, otherwise there would really be a big problem, and it wouldn't just be a small black dot problem, but a large pool of ink spilled on Nogizaka's white paper. ”
"Tomorrow's "Weekly Wenchun" report seems to be inevitable. Akimoto Yasusu sighed helplessly. , and the others also felt nervous when they heard this.
"Then what is Wakatsuki Yumi, what is Mr. Akimoto going to do?" asked Yoshio Konno.
"Let's refrigerate it first, avoid the limelight, don't let her be on camera or participate in activities for the time being, if all the members participate, the camera will notify the post-editing. Akimoto said.
Yoshio Konno nodded.
"Originally, Yumi Wakatsuki was the captain of Nogizaka 46 that I chose in my heart, but at present, it seems that it is impossible. Akimoto said with some regret.
"Yes, Wakatsuki is very trusted by the members, and she has a good relationship with everyone, and her personality is also very serious and responsible, but I didn't expect this to happen. Nango Yui also sighed.
"Forget it, since it's already happened, there's no need to dwell on it anymore, isn't there another candidate for captain?" Akimoto Yasusu suddenly said.
"Do you mean Reika Sakurai? Indeed, this girl is also very good, and she used to attend girls' schools, we have all investigated these very clearly, and there will definitely be no similar problems, but ......" Konno did not finish.
"Just?" asked Akimoto.
"It's just that this girl's personality is not as serious and strong as Wakatsuki's performance, and judging from her performance, I'm worried that she won't be able to take on it after she becomes the captain of the group. Konno said helplessly.
"And what about those members who she usually has a close relationship with?" asked Akimoto.
"This ...... It's Yumi Wakakatsuki. Nango Yui replied a little embarrassed.
"I see. Akimoto Yasushi nodded and continued: "Since you can be friends with a girl with a serious personality like Wakatsuki, you won't be too far behind, so let's tentatively appoint her as the acting captain first, we can train her while observing her, and see if she can take on the position of captain, what do you think?"
Everyone nodded their heads and said they had no opinion.
"Okay, let's do what we said, remember to explain this to the members, don't cause any bad topics among the members, and remind the members that if anyone has a similar past, please tell the operation in advance, or the same as before, what happened before joining the group, all the past is not to blame, since you have come to the combination of Nogizaka 46, it is a new beginning, tell the members the meaning. ”
"Mm-hmm, I'll arrange it later. Nango nodded in response.
"By the way, Nogizaka's debut single, is the song ready?" asked Yasushi Akimoto.
"It's still a little bit close, and I guess it will come out in a few days. Konno said.
"Well, send it to me as soon as it comes out, I'll make the lyrics, and I'm going to list all the selection personnel for a list in the next two days and send it to you. Akimoto nodded.
"Okay, Akimoto-san. Yoshio Konno said.
"It's already confirmed, and it will be released on February 22 next year, right?" Yasu Akimoto asked Kenji Kitagawa next to him, who was in charge of the release of Nogizaka Records.
"Yes, that's right, I discussed with Mr. Muramatsu and decided that this day would be the time for Nogizaka's debut. Kenji Kitagawa replied. Toshiryo Muramatsu also nodded.
"That's good, I'll get the stage ready for the first disclosure, it's going to be fun. Yasu Akimoto smiled, and everyone else said that they didn't know what the hell he was selling, only Kenji Kitagawa who had been working by his side and was familiar with him knew that Yasuya Akimoto had already thought about the stage for the first disclosure of Nogizaka's debut single, and it was definitely beyond everyone's expectations, he liked to do it, as it always was.
"Is there anything else?" asked Yasushi Akimoto.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no more.
Seeing this, Akimoto Yasushi asked Muramatsu Toshiryo for his opinion with his eyes. Muramatsu shook his head, then stood up, stretched out his hand to Yasu Akimoto, and said, "Thank you, Akimoto-san." ”
"Where, where. Akimoto Yasuya also stood up and shook hands and said.
"Well, then, adjournment. Muramatsu announced the end of the meeting, and everyone left the conference room to take their places.
Yui Nango and Yoshio Konno walked towards Yui Nango's office.
And now there, there, a helpless girl, sat there silently, shedding tears.
