Chapter Ninety-Five: Successfully Signing a Tourism Ambassador

Previous Chapter

Yoshio Konno and Yui Minamigo took some of Nogizaka's most popular members as representatives of the group and went to Oita City to discuss becoming the city's tourism ambassadors. In fact, both parties have agreed before, and each other has decided the details on the phone. However, Yoshio Konno didn't feel very relaxed, and kept telling the members not to talk nonsense and cheer up on the road.

And Reika Sakurai may be the most nervous of the Nogizaka members who came together now. Because as the acting captain of Nogizaka, she needs to talk about the speeches and things on the group's side. To put it bluntly, other people just need to smile, and there is no problem with etiquette, and the problem of speaking is the job of Reika Sakurai. This is what Toshiryo Muramatsu mentioned before, whether the training of Reika Sakurai can take the position of captain Nogizaka, and whether he can take responsibility for the group at a critical time, Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango will witness each other through this project.

"What's wrong, Reika?" said Nana Hashimoto as she looked at Reika Sakurai who was in a daze on the train. After getting in the car, Reika Sakurai didn't say much, just stared out the window blankly, and there was something going on in her heart. Originally, except for Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, they all saw it, but the latter didn't know how to ask, or Nana Hashimoto didn't ask directly, and only she was the most suitable. Hashimoto is usually such a character, and everyone understands it. So after Nana Hashimoto didn't ask, Mai Shiraishi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, chatting with the others, while being distracted to listen to the conversation between the two people here.

"It's okay...... Sakurai said with a smile as she continued to look out the window at the speeding landscape.

"Nervous?" asked Nana Hashimoto tentatively.

"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Nanamin. Reika Sakurai nodded slightly and continued to answer with a smile.

"Just as you normally would. Usually you're good enough. Nana Hashimoto comforted.

"Hmm...... But there are still some worries. Reika Sakurai said.

"It's okay, we're here, you're not alone. Nana Hashimoto said with a smile.

"Hmm. Reika Sakurai nodded, looked at Nanami Hashimoto, and the two looked at each other, and then laughed. The other party also looked at her and laughed, and the two of them looked at the scenery outside the window at the same time, and did not continue.

Mai Shiraishi heard a little, and she was relieved.

Everyone came to the seat of the city hall of Oita City, and then it was the last time Secretary Koyama came downstairs to greet him, and after a brief greeting between Yoshio Konno and the other party, he entered the building with Yui Nango and the members and Staff.

Mayor Yamazaki was already waiting for everyone in the conference room, and Yoshio Konno took the initiative to reach over and say hello, followed by Yui Minamigo. Instead of shaking hands with each other, the members humbly bowed to each other at 90 degrees in greeting. Mayor Yamazaki nodded in satisfaction and beckoned everyone to sit down together, ready to start signing.

"Now that I look at it, the guys in Nogizaka are indeed cuter than Rino Fingerhara. Mayor Yamazaki said with a smile, in fact, it is a polite remark on the scene, for a person like him, eight out of ten sentences of such praise may not be out of his own heart, a veteran of officialdom, has long been accustomed to this.

"Where, where, Mayor San, you praise them too much. Yoshio Konno hurriedly snorted haha, this tall hat is currently a little unaffordable for the members of Nogizaka.

"Huh. Mayor Yamazaki smiled, and then Secretary Koyama behind him distributed the contract and the copy to the people in Nogizaka, and the original version was in the hands of Mayor Yamazaki and Yoshio Konno.

"Please take a closer look at the above. Secretary Xiaoshan said solemnly.

Then the members of Nogizaka, Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango, took a closer look. In fact, the above content has been discussed before.,After reading it, Yoshio Konno repeatedly confirmed whether there was a "trap" in the above content.,Nango Yui also helped him confirm it.。 And the members are also looking at the contract carefully, Mai Shiraishi is okay, Nana Hashimoto can not see some clues between the lines, although she doesn't know what the real meaning behind the specific is, but she can feel that this kind of contract will not be the kind that is very simple. Also thinking so much about people is Reika Sakurai, who is more concerned about the content of Nogizaka 46 above, whether there will be any potential "problems".

"At this time, I have to strengthen my spirit!" Sakurai Reika thought secretly in her heart.

In the end, neither the members nor Yoshio Konno saw any problems, because there was no problem in the first place. Although this kind of person who plays politics often has dark hands, the other party also knows that senior managers like Toshiyo Muramatsu who mix in the entertainment industry are sometimes more tricky. In addition, the conditions proposed by the other party are of great benefit to themselves, and there is no need to play any tricks, which is a relatively happy cooperation project.

"In that case, will we be able to become tourism ambassadors for Oita City just like Rino Tsuchihara?" asked Yoshio Konno directly.

"Well, of course. Mayor Yamazaki nodded in confirmation.

"Well, that's really thanks to the Oita City Government for taking care of us. Yoshio Konno smiled and thanked him.

"Huh. Mayor Yamazaki turned his head to look at the members of Nogizaka, and then said, "I hope you can take on this position well, pointing out that Riki Hara is a native of our Oita City, so you should also do your best!"

"Well, we'll do it well, don't worry! We are very confident that we will win the duel with Rino Tsuhara, and we are also confident that more people will like us and Oita City. There are also members from Oita City in Nogizaka, and our hearts are one, so we will definitely do our best!" Sakurai Reika said very cautiously, but it showed her self-confidence as a member of Nogizaka, and it was also appropriate to make a powerful response to Mayor Yamazaki's "temptation", which couldn't help but make Mayor Yamazaki a little surprised by this girl.

"Sakurai is really right. Equally surprised was Yoshio Konno. From Yamazaki's words, you can feel that he is putting pressure on the members of Nogizaka by using the words "local" and "Rina Zhihara". Sakurai was able to judge it in an instant and then make such an answer, which is really rare.

The members also laughed after Reika Sakurai finished speaking. Mai Shiraishi and the others just smiled because of the great confidence in what Sakurai Reika said, and she was also very satisfied. Only Nana Hashimoto guessed what Reika Sakurai really considered between her words, and couldn't help but smile in praise of her adaptability.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with. Mayor Yamazaki smiled and signed his name on the contract and stamped his seal. Yoshio Konno, on behalf of Nogizaka, also signed the name and stamped it. The contract shall be written in duplicate, and one copy shall be kept by each party. Mayor Yamazaki's copy was put away by his secretary Koyama, and Nogizaka's copy was carefully put in his file bag by Yui Nango.

"The press conference on May 1 will need to trouble Mayor Sang. Yoshio Konno shook Mayor Yamazaki's hand and thanked him again.

"Well, don't worry. Mayor Yamazaki smiled and let go of his hand.

After chatting a few more words and confirming that Staff had captured the footage needed for editing on the show, Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango left the Oita City Hall building with the members and stepped on the train back to Tokyo.

"Good performance, Sakurai. While waiting for the bus before getting on the bus, Yoshio Konno smiled and complimented Reika Sakurai.

"Hey, hey. Sakurai Reika nodded embarrassedly, and Nanami Hashimoto, who was standing at Sakurai Reika, also smiled gently, and Mai Shiraishi also smiled.

"Reika, I now feel that you are becoming more and more suitable for the position of captain. While eating a boxed lunch in the car, Nanami Hashimoto and Reika Sakurai chatted again.

"No. Sakurai Reika was a little embarrassed to be praised.

"Your answer to Mayor Sang's words is really outstanding. Nana Hashimoto didn't take a bite of the food in the lunch box and whispered.

"Hmm. Nanamin, you can see that, too. Sakurai Reika also whispered.

"I can feel it, but it's really hard to be able to organize a voice response to the other person's words in such a short period of time. And you've done a really good job. Nanami Hashimoto said with a smile.

"I can hear it, Nana Min, your mind is really good~" Reika Sakurai also appropriately praised Nanami Hashimoto, after such a long time, she also has Yumi Wakazuki and Mai Fukagawa, who are usually the members who have not been in contact with Nana Hashimoto. This girl's EQ and IQ are both very good, even if she doesn't usually show a lot, but there will always be very decisive words at critical times. She doesn't understand everything, she understands everything, she just never wants to say it.

"Thank goodness for this successful completion. Reika Sakurai continued.

"Well, let's talk to Wakatsuki when I get back. I think she's worried about you. Nanami Hashimoto said. When she set off again this morning, Yumi Wakatsuki got up early and sent everyone out of the dormitory. Because I heard that I was going to have a face-to-face event with a big man like the mayor this time, I was worried about the members and Reika Sakurai.

"Hmm. Reika Sakurai nodded. Thinking of the Yumi Wakatsuki, who had been silently supporting her behind her back, Reika Sakurai laughed unconsciously.

"Hmm......" Mai Shiraishi still sat in the closest position to the two of them this time, and then listened to the conversation between the two people distractedly. She herself didn't hear the psychological game behind the conversation between Reika Sakurai and Mayor San-san at the time, so now she feels a little annoyed by her immaturity, and feels that she is not very mature compared to Nanami Hashimoto and Reika Sakurai.

"I still need to work hard!" Mai Shiraishi said with a secret determination in her heart.
