Chapter 604: Appeasement
The guessing tournament is coming.
A convention that Yuko Oshima hated and hated.
In June, she successfully won the first place in the general election, enjoying the fame brought by the championship, working and happy, and she is about to usher in the day when she hands over the center, how can she not care, who has always been very unwilling to admit defeat.
Although the girl's small body hides a powerful soul, she is a girl after all, and she also has a girl's careful eye, and she can't express her dissatisfaction outside, so she has to vent her unhappiness on Zhou Xiao's body.
After announcing the end of the concert of the boxing competition in July, Yuko, who went home, occupied Zhou Xiao's bedroom and announced that he would not let him go to bed for a month, and Zhou Xiao, who knew that he was at a loss, had to endure not touching her, but Yuko's problem was ...... About a week later, the first person who couldn't help it was her, not Zhou Xiao......
So late one night, she attacked Zhou Xiao......
The girl who was abstinent and still not angry completely broke out her strength in this battle, and later, the girl was no longer doing it with Zhou Xiao but in QJ, until Zhou Xiao was lying there and was weak, and there was no place to stand up, the girl was barely deflated, and she got down from the bed and went to work refreshed......
Yuko is also very sensible, she never talks much in big things, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care, in fact, the girl is just because she cares too much, but she is too sensible, so she can only vent her dissatisfaction in this way.
Zhou Xiao is also very aware of this, and he is fully cooperating with her.
But fitting alone is not enough.
In fact, Zhou Xiao understands very well that Maeda's position must be guaranteed, but ...... He also felt that Yuko's state of mind should be understood.
What does Yuko care about the most? It's not a center position, it's not a loss to Maeda, it's a non-recognition of operations! What happened after the second general election in the previous life? In addition to guessing the boxing list, the next regular single "Beginner" after HR uses the six-person center system!
What a ridiculous system? In Zhou Xiao's view, this is purely to dilute the impact of Yuko's ascension to the top in people's eyes.
It doesn't matter what others think. He wouldn't do that.
Therefore, at the meeting that was operated two weeks before the Guessing Boxing Conference, Zhou Xiao put forward a request.
"For the next regular single, I want Yuko to be the center!" Zhou Xiaodao.
"This can't be done, Maeda's position must be maintained, and if there are other singles other than the general election, how will Maeda's personal role be handled?" Yasushi Akimoto objected very directly.
"I know this problem, and I'll go and appease Maeda." Zhou Xiao said.
"It's not enough to appease Maeda, you must be well aware of Maeda's importance, and she is not a very strong person herself. What you're doing is likely to cause her psychological changes, and even make her want to graduate, so that Maeda has the possibility of graduating for the sake of a center?! Yasudo Akimoto.
"I don't think Maeda is going to be that vulnerable, and I even think that it might make the girl braver, and the girl's self-confidence shouldn't be given by us, and I think she has the ability to fight for her place in the next general election." Zhou Xiao said.
"Next year's general election? That's still a year away. We shouldn't take that risk! Zhou Xiao was very persistent, and Qiu Yuankang was not like this, and in the next ten minutes, the two of them began to say a word. Conversations like quarrels.
This startled everyone else in the meeting.
Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang have known each other since many years ago, and these people don't know why, the two are quite compatible with each other, and they have seen which of the two propose something more than once. The picture of another person smiling and then helping someone else explain what the other person is thinking.
In everyone's opinion, Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang are a couple, and there are many similarities between each other. A partner who has the same aesthetics and views on many things.
It's the first time that such a pair of partners have quarreled like this now!
That's right, it's true that they don't give in to each other, and both sides want their opinions to prevail over each other. Don't look at the theory that Zhou Xiao has the control of AKB among the two, but in this kind of matter, it is impossible for him to use his power to suppress the views of such an important ruler as Yasushi Akimoto, he is a dictator, yes, but no matter how dictatorial he is, he does not dare to ignore Yasushi Akimoto's views.
What's more, Zhou Xiao himself also has his own ideas.
You must know that the changes he is going to make now are things that Qiu Yuanyasu has not done in his previous life, even if he has confidence in himself, Zhou Xiao will definitely be a little worried in his heart, worried about whether his choice is correct.
The process of persuading Akimoto Yasu is actually a process of sorting out what he thinks in his heart, and it is also an attempt to make his own choice, he is actually ready to be persuaded by Akimoto Yasu, and finally he still makes preparations for the six-center version.
In fact, strictly speaking, there is no difference between the ideas of the two people, who is right and who is wrong, the difference between the two people is that Akimoto Yasu feels that he should not risk taking a blow to Maeda's self-confidence, since the launch of AKB, Maeda has always been the center, if the general election is really a top year, there is nothing to say, but Zhou Xiao said clearly, the only thing to change the center is the next order, he did not mean to replace Maeda, in Akimoto Yasu's view, then there is no need to risk changing Maeda.
But in Zhou Xiao's opinion, this adventure is worth it. Maeda is very important, but Yuko is equally important, for Maeda, the center of a single may be just a single, but for Yuko, a non-general selection, and it is the center when Maeda is there, which is the biggest affirmation of the operation for her.
Maeda said that he wanted to dedicate his life to AKB during the AKB general election, which was obviously said when he was in a mood, and it was not convincing, but it could also prove that the girl loved AKB very much at least during that period, but Yuko was not like this, Zhou Xiao felt that with Yuko's dedication to AKB, AKB's reward for Yuko, there was nothing wrong with a single's center.
After finally deciding the matter, Zhou Xiao contacted Yuko.
Although they were contacted as much as possible, the two of them who were busy with work wanted to meet, but they still waited for two days to finally find an opportunity.
And the place where we met was just a break room for the TV station.
"How much time?" Before entering the house. Zhou Xiao asked the agent beside him.
"About ten minutes...... the agent said. Ten minutes later, Yuko was going to the next place of work.
Zhou Xiao sighed in his heart, but when the female idol became popular, he was so busy, and he couldn't help it.
Patting himself on the face and giving himself a gentle smile, he pushed open the door to the lounge and walked in.
"Brother Zhou Xiao......" Yuko was resting on the tatami mat in the lounge, and after seeing Zhou Xiao, she didn't even get up, but showed him a rather weak smile.
"Tired, aren't you? Thank you for your hard work. Zhou Xiao sat down next to the girl, patted the girl's head lightly and said.
"yes...... It's nice to have a 10-minute break. Why did you come to me specifically? The girl arched into Zhou Xiao's arms like a kitten and said.
Zhou Xiao handed over two pieces of paper and said, "The new song of the next single is out, and you have time to practice singing and dancing." It was announced at the guessing meeting a week or so later. β
"I'm so busy, I still have to practice new songs......" Yuko took the things handed over by Zhou Xiao, and the first thing she saw was the lyrics and lyrics of the song.
Zhou Xiao's AKB members in his previous life are actually not very good at music literacy, many people may even enter the selection group but can't read music, today's AKB members have a special music teacher to catch their singing skills since they entered the group, Yuko has been studying for nearly five years, even if the work is busy, the basic music literacy is still quite good.
So the girl quickly saw that this song "Beginner" is a powerful rhythm. The style is biased towards rock and roll, and it should be a handsome song to sing.
Zhou Xiaodao: "A single after the general menu in the future is usually released in early autumn, when making zuΓ². We're going to gravitate towards this kind of cool type of song. β
"Well...... That's right, I do like this style of song more than soft and cute songs. Yuko said as she lifted the paper in her hand to the second page.
The first page is the score. On the second page, there is a exploded view of the dance position and a series of explanatory photos of the dance teacher.
Yuko didn't feel anything at first, but after two glances. Zhou Xiao suddenly felt that the girl in his arms froze.
With a gentle smile, he gently patted the girl's face.
"I'm Center!?" The girl, who was still tired just now and seemed to be about to fall asleep at any time, suddenly jumped up with a carp, stared at Zhou Xiao with big eyes and asked.
Zhou Xiao looked at the girl's face and felt distressed in her heart, she was not working, she had big bags under her eyes, her hair was a little messy, her makeup was a little broken, and she looked quite haggard.
Zhou Xiao nodded lightly: "En." β
After a pause, Yuko leaned over and hugged Zhou Xiao.
Soon, he felt his shoulders get wet.
For five minutes, the girl lay on Zhou Xiao's body, not speaking or moving, but crying quietly.
Five minutes later, Yuko finally let go of Zhou Xiao.
"Thank you." Yuko hugged Zhou Xiao and said.
"You deserve it." Zhou Xiaodao.
"You must have put a lot of effort into making me a center, right?" The girl is very sensible and also knows the importance of Maeda's status.
"It's nothing, and everyone is very sure of your ability." Zhou Xiaodao.
"If ......"
"What?" Zhou Xiao asked.
The girl hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "If we don't have this relationship now, if the person you recommend is not me, will you still choose me as the center?" β
"I don't know." Zhou Xiao didn't lie, but said very directly: "My feelings for you will definitely be mixed in, but I don't think it matters, because you do have the qualifications to stand in the zero position, everyone's worries are not about your strength, in my opinion, you just need to keep yourself, do your best work, as for the return or something, trust me and Mr. Akimoto." Zhou Xiaodao.
"When the guessing tournament was announced, when you said you wouldn't disappoint me, did you think about this single and let me be the center?" Yuko asked.
"yes, this song is perfect for you to dance, I've been ready for a long time." Zhou Xiao said.
"That'...... You have to promise me one thing. The girl said.
"What?"
"Ahh......h
"I'll go over there and appease you." Zhou Xiao said.
"Don't make her too sad, he was already hurt in the last single......" There was a worried look in the girl's eyes.
"Don't worry, you just need to be yourself, and I'll take care of the rest." Zhou Xiao said.
That's all it takes. The excited Yuko kissed Zhou Xiao passionately again, and the girl who was still tired just now and didn't want to move, as if she had suddenly been injected with vitality, grabbed the man with a lot of strength, as if she wanted to rub herself into the man's body.
If time permits, the two of them will have a good time in the lounge.
It's a pity that the two have only kissed for a few seconds when the agent outside knocks on the door of the lounge.
"Mr. Zhou Xiao, Yuko, time ......"
From the sound of the agent outside, you can hear that the soundproofing equipment in this lounge is really not very good. Zhou Xiao estimated that if the two of them really did something, they would not be able to hear it in several nearby lounges.
Despite his reluctance, he pushed the girl away and put him in a car to his next place of work.
And he himself got on the bus and headed to his next destination.
That's where Maeda works at this time.
It's a good thing to inform Yuko of the center location, but for Maeda, who has lost the center position, her state of mind must also be appeased.
All the way to the place where Maeda is working.
The work that the girl is doing now is the starring role in the TV series that Zhou Xiao arranged for the girl before the election.
"Mom is an Idol".
The script of this drama is not made by Zhou Xiao. But he did participate in the planning of the whole drama, and even contributed a few company jokes to the script, and when Maeda was filming this drama, the members of the entire AKB also had a lot of opportunities to appear.
"Does she know?" When he arrived at the studio and walked towards the girls' lounge, Zhou Xiao asked Maeda's agent who came out to greet him.
"Got it. Just sued sΓΉ her. The agent said.
Zhou Xiao didn't say anything more, he silently walked to the door of the girls' lounge under the guidance of the agent.
"Knock knock." Unlike Yuko who walked in directly, Zhou Xiao here knocked on the door.
"Please come in." Maeda's voice rang out inside.
Zhou Xiao pushed open the door and walked in.
Maeda and Yuko, two different girls. The haggard on the face is very similar.
"Alas......" Zhou Xiao sighed in his heart, he saw that the girl was holding something almost the same as the one he had just given to Yuko.
Of the two sheets, the first was visibly turned over. On the second sheet of paper, the various station maps of the No. 1 position of the new song and dance are clearly marked.
"Brother Zhou Xiao." The girl knelt on the tatami mat and greeted weakly, and her loading at this time was almost no different from that of Yuko just now.
It's very hard, not only Yuko, but Maeda is even better.
From the moment he decided to give the center to Yuko, Zhou Xiao had thought of countless ways to comfort Maeda in his mind, but when he really faced her, looking at her weak and reluctant to kneel there, Zhou Xiao couldn't say a word if he had thought about it.
"Thank you...... I'm sorry. Zhou Xiao finally held back a sentence, as soon as this sentence came out, he wanted to give himself a mouthful, apologize or something, at this time it was the most undesirable.
But he had already said it.
Maeda glanced at Zhou Xiao.
"Brother Zhou Xiao, before the general election started, did you know that Youzi could win the championship?" The girl suddenly asked a question that didn't seem related.
β¦β¦ How do you answer that?
Theoretically, Zhou Xiao didn't know, when he asked the statistics company to do this general election, he didn't give AZX any way back, about the statistical results, no one from Zhou Xiao to Yasusu Akimoto knew, and the whole of Japan knew the results in advance, only the people who counted and encapsulated the results.
But he knows the result of his previous life, and this result is no different from this life.
In this case, do you know or don't know?
"The statistics of the general selection are done by professional companies, and even I can't get the results in advance." Zhou Xiao did not prove to answer Maeda's question......
"Then did you expect Yuko to win the championship?" Maeda asked again.
"This kind of thing, how can it be completely guaranteed by guessing." Zhou Xiao said with a smile.
"But...... Why did you give me this job before? Is it compensating me? Maeda asked, somewhat incomprehensible.
"Isn't it normal to give you a starring role? You're Maeda of AKB. Zhou Xiao said.
"But...... Not even Yuko...... She's the most popular, right? Maeda said.
"Do you think the championship of the general election can fully reflect a person's popularity?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Of course, this is the vote of the rice." Maeda said.
"I don't think so, there are a lot of various conditions in the general election, and a general election doesn't actually mean anything." Zhou Xiao said.
"Brother Zhou Xiao has come to persuade me again......" The girl smiled reluctantly, lowered her head and said with some loss.
"No, I'm not here to persuade you this time." Zhou Xiao said.
"Aren't you just trying to persuade me......" Maeda said.
"No, I just wanted to say something to you." Zhou Xiaodao.
"Say what?" The girl asked.
"You've been working at AKB for nearly five years, and your popularity, even if you don't know the general election, you must know that you are definitely not worse than Yuko, so why give up on yourself whether it's this general election or the center of the new single? Just not doing it once or twice, has it already made you lose your self-confidence? You said that you are very unwilling to admit defeat in the general election, since this is the case, then grab the center back! β
"Grab it back?" The girl raised her head and looked at Zhou Xiao.
"That's why I don't want to return the center to you after the election, I don't think the center position should be given to you by us, but you relied on your own strength and popularity to get it back, you know!?" (To be continued......) R1292
