Ever heard of the god of sushi, have you ever heard of the god of "tempura"?

Saotome Tetsuya is recognized as the "god of tempura" in Japan.

It's hard to imagine that this small shop opened by the god of Japanese tempura. It is only a dozen square meters in size, with very simple cement walls and wooden panels, old-fashioned daylight energy-saving lamps, simple and clear wooden bar, simple tableware and kitchenware, but hidden in it is the ultimate gluttonous feast that may not be booked months in advance.

But now Ishihara Satomi didn't have the heart to think about this, and the woman cautiously glanced at the white-haired old man among the three people sitting at the bar, and only felt that her whole body was full of tension.

That person is the president of Dentsu, Tatsuyoshi Takashima, the president of Dentsu, Japan's largest company, with an annual turnover of more than 600 billion yen, and controls the whole of Japan!

Satomi Ishihara is not someone who has never seen Dentsu, she knows how powerful Dentsu is, in the entire Horipro, only Waio Hori can make Dentsu send a director-level high-level counterpart, and even when Horiki Yoshiki, who is now the president of Horipro, contacts Dentsu, Dentsu just sends a middle-level minister to receive it.

It was also the first time she had actually met the president of Dentsu face-to-face.

Not only that, but next to the president of Dentsu sat a middle-aged man in his fifties, whom Satomi Ishihara also recognized, as Director Nakata, who was in charge of external affairs on the board of directors of Dentsu, and in addition, the president of the Burning Department and the leader of the Burning Department, the seventy-year-old Zhou Fang Ikuo, was also present.

"Uesugi-kun, meet again!" President Takashima stretched out his hand, "and brought a beautiful female companion, Miss Ishihara?

"Hello, President Takashima! I haven't seen you for a few days, President Takashima's spirit is very good!" Uesugi Muneyuki took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook hands with President Takashima.

Satomi Ishihara could only carefully shake hands with the director of Dentsu, and during the handshake, the woman first lowered her head, and then secretly glanced up at Tatsuya Takashima's old smiling face, only to feel a tightness in her heart, and quickly lowered her head again.

"Hello, Director Nakata!" Uesugi then stretched out his hand to Director Nakata behind President Takashima, but was interrupted by President Takashima in a voice full of smiles: "Uesugi-kun, now it's Nakata's executive director!"

"Ha! Congratulations on the promotion! Nakata General Manager!" Uesugi Muneyuki immediately changed his words, Director Nakata... No, it will be Nakata in the future, and the middle-aged man also smiled at Uesugi Soyuki with kindness.

The board of directors in Japan is divided into three levels, namely ordinary directors, managing directors, and executive directors, from the lowest to the highest, the executive board means that they can participate in every executive board, and the executive director is similar to the feudal official, and some parts of the company will be in charge of the special director.

After a brief hello to Zhou Fang Ikuo, Uesugi Soyuki pulled Satomi Ishihara to sit down.

"I've wanted to have a meal with Uesugi-kun for a long time, but I've never had a chance. President Takashima greeted Chef Tetsuya Saotome in a friendly manner, and the old man, who was almost 70 years old, was showing a kind smile and looking at the young man in front of him: "On behalf of Dentsu, I would like to express my gratitude to Uesugi-kun for his willingness to cooperate with Dentsu over the years to help us open up the North American market. ”

"I am, thanks to Chairman Narita at the time, who actually came to my door in person, and after seeing Dentsu's sincerity, I had no reason to refuse... After all, Dentsu affects every corner of the country, doesn't it?" said Uesugi Muneyuki with a smile.

Seeing Uesugi Soyuki's attitude, the atmosphere in the small shop immediately went up, Takashima Tatsuka said with a smile: "I know that Uesugi-kun is a food lover, so I specially chartered this shop, and invite Uesugi-kun to taste the most delicious tempura in this country, please!"

The chef places a small bamboo basket in front of the diners, covered with blotting paper. Saotome Tetsuya uses long chopsticks to hold the freshly fried tempura into a bamboo basket in front of the diners, and the golden tempura exudes the mouth-appetizing aroma and heat of the ingredients, mixed with the fragrant smell of sesame oil. As soon as you enter your mouth, the crunchy dough makes a pleasant "click" sound between the lips and tongue, and the deliciousness of the seafood wrapped in it continues to stimulate everyone's taste buds as you chew it.

In the mouth, the squid tempura is first crispy with a thin fried crust, then with the toughness of the squid, and then with a soft texture full of the original flavor of the food.

Delicious and deep taste, Zong Xue sighed secretly.

"It seems to have returned to when I was young~ Back then, when I was working alone in Shinjuku, at that time, there was a lack of materials, and I was often hungry all day, and finally waited until the day of payday, I went to the izakaya and had a big drink, and I will never forget the deliciousness of the saury and rice wine~ Now I don't lack anything, but when I went to the izakaya again after a few decades and ordered a saury, I felt that it was difficult to swallow, young, it was really beautiful. Tatsuyoshi Takashima drank the sake from her glass and suddenly said what happened to him when he was young.

"Because that's not the taste of saury, it's the taste of memories, right, President Takashima. Soyuki smiled and helped President Takashima fill up his wine.

"Haha, you're right, that's the taste of memory, hahaha, it's the taste of memory, it's the taste of time. Tatsuyoshi Takashima burst out laughing, as if she had heard something very, very funny.

"Time is engraved with our memories and glory, when Hua is old, we always have a day to live by memories, isn't it?" Zong Xue also laughed with Takashima Tatsuka.

"My memory is not the saury, but the eel rice I ate in Kanagawa!" "The big guy of the burning system, Zhou Fang Yuxiong, also said, the old man's face was full of reminiscence: "At that time, Misora (Skylark) San was still my idol, and that holiday, I accompanied her singing and enjoyed the most delicious dish in my life, a bowl of eel rice with only a small piece of grilled eel." ”

For the sighs of these bigwigs, Satomi Ishihara said that it was difficult to understand, and the woman instinctively looked at Uesugi Soyuki, but when she saw Uesugi Soyuki's face seemed to be full of memories.

It's normal for people to sigh at sixty or seventy years old, but what is Uesugi sighing about?

Of course, the woman doesn't know, counting the memories of the tech nerd, Uesugi Soyuki's mental age has exceeded the age of destiny, and he is also reminiscing about the memories of the tech nerd, those snacks sold at the school gate.

After a brief reminiscence, chef Tetsuya Saotome seems to have turned a blind eye to the various behaviors of the guests, and it seems that the only thing in the chef's world is the crackling tempura in the oil pot in front of him, and he skillfully scoops up a fried shrimp tempura from the oil pot, and the master puts the food in a small bamboo basket in front of President Takashima: "Please use it." ”

"Saotome Chef, your food is still so delicious!" said President Takashima.

"That's what it was going to be. There was no expression on the master's face, unlike other chefs, and the master accepted everyone's praise as a matter of course, and he was not modest, as if everything was meant to be.

Time passed in the chatter and laughter of several bigwigs and a young man.

"In the Showa era, the dusk sunset, the quaint streets, although the work was very hard, but whenever I came home with my back to the sunset and made a cup of tea, my heart was full of hope and longing for the future, at that time everyone was eager to struggle, eager to live a better life, unlike now... ”

"It's beautiful now, isn't it, when the children grow up, they don't have to worry about starving anymore, they can go to school, and it's hard for us to see children with yellow muscles and short height anymore, isn't it?, Mr. Narita?" said Soyuki, interrupting Tatsuyoshi Takashima

President Takashima was stunned for a moment, and nodded the same head: "Yes, our previous generation always likes to use the hard days of the past to teach you to understand that the current happy life is not easy to come by, and you must be tired of listening to it." ”

"Not really, I know the kindness of the elders. Uesugi smiled and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mean that.

"So, I won't say anything else, Zhou Fang, Uesugi-kun, I called you to dinner today, mainly because I want to ask you on behalf of Dentsu, do you think Yasushi Akimoto's JPN47 plan is feasible enough?" President Takashima decided to cut to the chase.

Swallowing the fried shrimp in his mouth, Uesugi Soyuki knew that the time had come to get down to business.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong also put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"I have to say that in the proposal submitted to us, Yasu Akimoto portrayed this project as extremely beautiful, saying that he could set up a national-level girl idol group to tour the world, and through his plan, he would do his best to make this girl idol group a world-class throne, and with the help of our dentsu... This is not an impossible project. President Takashima's gray eyebrows twitched slightly: "Although there are some doubts, but no matter what, AKB48 has achieved unprecedented success, so we feel that maybe this plan is indeed quite feasible, and here, I hope to hear the opinions of Uesugi-kun and President Zhou Fang." ”

Here comes the main event! Uesugi Muneyuki stretched out his little thumb and pushed his black-rimmed glasses: "So, President Takashima, what do you need us to answer?"

"Is this project, overall, feasible?"

"I think this project, on the whole, is feasible!"
