Chapter 693: Wen Chun Makes a Move
Successful people will always have their own characteristics of success, and Yuko's success is naturally her hard work.
On the morning of June 6, 2012, when Zhou Xiao was still sleeping with Kojima and Shinoda Shinoda , she had already gotten up early.
In fact, she hadn't slept much at all all last night.
After walking around the house for a while, a bored Yuko took out a rag and began to mop the floor.
In fact, there are people from the cleaning company who come to clean the house regularly, and the shiny floor does not need to be wiped at all, but she still kneels and wipes it around, and even wipes off every trace of her fingerprints and the marks on the soles of her feet.
At the same time, Maeda actually woke up...... Kindness...... About two minutes.
She went to the toilet to pee, and then went back to bed and continued to fall asleep.
If you only look at the attitude of these two people towards the general election, I am afraid that many people will feel that it is too much not to give the championship to Yuko.
But...... Who can be sure of this kind of thing?
In the history of AKB, any girl who should have gotten it, but lost the championship in the next edition, will have a huge explosion of votes in the third edition, Maeda, Yuko, and Shihara, and even Mayu, to a certain extent.
But...... Maeda can win Yuko, Yuko can win Mayu Shihara without Maeda, Mayu can win Shihara who has lost his halo, and Shihara, who vows to regain the championship, can win Mayu Kashiwagi Takahashi...... These battles, judging from the difference in votes, lack a certain amount of suspense.
But in 10 years, it was "stolen" from Maeda's hands to a certain extent, and Yuko, who was more than 20,000 votes by Maeda in 11 years, can she win the championship again in 12 years, when Maeda is completely and easily fighting?
No one knows the answer to this question.
On the flash report, Yuko led by a narrow number of votes, but it doesn't matter what the flash report is, the most important thing is that everyone knows that it is the final announcement today.
I wandered around the living room, kitchen, etc. for a while. Yuko finally returned to her bedroom.
The man was still asleep, and he couldn't even hear the constant buzzing vibration of the mobile phone around him, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Yuko looked at the time.
Five forty-five in the morning.
Strange, who will call at this time?
Wondering, she watched as the phone buzzed for a few moments, then fell silent, and after a few seconds, it buzzed again.
"Is it urgent?" Yuko was curious.
She looked at her phone and even picked it up, but the girl eventually gave up on the idea.
She climbed into bed and lay down next to the man before she woke him up.
"What's wrong?" The man asked, turning his head.
"Your phone has been vibrating for a long time." Yuko said.
"Phone? Oh! Got it. The man reached for his phone, looked at it, and then stood up.
"Hello? It's me. He answered the phone as he walked out of his bedroom.
Yuko on the bed opened her eyes and listened to Zhou Xiao's speech outside in silence.
It wasn't a woman calling, in fact, she knew even if she didn't look at the phone. Because Zhou Xiao's call is only for work calls, but ...... That's what she's worried about, what would make the staff call the company's top boss so early? Disturbing the boss's sleep must be the most important job, right?
This is also why she woke up Zhou Xiao, if it was just a call from a girl, she wouldn't wake up a man.
The man outside didn't deliberately hide his voice.
"Sent? What is the company's email address? Okay, okay I see, I'll go over right away and don't take any action. The same is true for her, find her, reassure her. Zhou Xiao's voice said.
"Who's wrong?" Yuko thought in bed.
The announcement of the answer did not wait long.
"I'm going to the company, you don't have to worry. Just go to the rehearsal. Zhou Xiao pushed open the door and said to Youzi.
"What's wrong?" Yuko asked, sitting up.
"Referring to the fact that he had an affair with a boy! The announcement sent by Wen Chun will be sent after the general election! Zhou Xiao left after saying a word, leaving Yuko alone looking at the bedroom door in a daze.
"Strange why I felt like he was happy just now. I've been looking forward to it for a long time...... As a group producer, what's so fun about the members of your own group having an affair? Yuko thought curiously in bed.
Successful people have their reasons for success, and the same applies to the original word.
Yuko lay on the bed for a while. I heard a noise outside, and Mariko and Kojima should have gotten up.
The two of them slept in the same room last night, so one of them got up and the other got up at the same time, but Kojima must still be very disliked by now.
Yuko also walked out of the room.
"What about Zhou Xiao?" Mariko asked when she saw Yuko come out alone.
"Something went wrong with the company, and he had already left first." Yuko said.
"Happen...... Finish...... What the...... What's ...... Is it ......?" asked Kojima, who was still in a state of confusion before waking up.
"Finger Hara seems to be ......" Yuko hesitated for a moment, "It seems that there is some scandal with a man." ”
"Really?! With whom!? Kojima, who was still in a half-conscious state, instantly got up and asked.
"I only know that it refers to the original, and the man's side doesn't know very well." Yuko said as she gave Kojima breakfast.
"I don't know why he's so popular." Shinoda said.
Shinoda is not unhappy with Fingerhara, but she is fundamentally different from Fingerhara in many personalities, such as Fingerhara always shows people as a waste wood and a negative image, but Shinoda is the kind of character who is very brave and hardworking.
The relationship between the two can't be said to be bad, but Shinoda really doesn't understand why she is popular.
"Because she's funny, it's still interesting people who are the easiest to love." Kojima said casually as she ate the breakfast that Yuko handed her.
"This time she has a problem, and I don't know if she will collapse." Yuko said with some concern.
"According to Zhou Xiao's brother's way of dealing with it, as long as she has a normal and ordinary relationship between men and women, she should only be sent to a place like a graduate student." Shinoda said.
"Normal ordinary?"
"yes, it's not about being someone else's lover, not doing underage drinking and stuff like that, etc."
"Who are you emailing Kojima?" Yuko suddenly saw Kojima holding her phone and poking her face with excitement.
"Give it to Zhou Xiao!" The girl said.
"What are you looking for him to do?" Yuko asked.
"Let him send a picture of the man to see!" Kojima said excitedly.
Zhiyuan's matter naturally caused an uproar among the high-level executives of AZX Company, but under Zhou Xiao's strong suppression, not many people really knew about it, and even Zhiyuan's own company didn't tell it. It will not be announced until after the general election.
However, regardless of these things, even if there is a faint expectation in his heart, it does not mean that Zhou Xiao likes to hear the news today.
Especially for such an important day, it is impossible for Wen Chun to know that Zhou Xiao is looking forward to the occurrence of the original problem, so Wen Chun's behavior is very bad, even if he doesn't mind pointing to the original, he also minds Wen Chun's behavior, because this is a very obvious provocation.
"So...... It is a ...... that has a scandal with the original A baseball player who was a high school student? Hey? This person is ......" Zhou Xiao suddenly discovered. He actually knew the man who had an affair with Fingerhara, because he had watched this man's baseball game in high school a few days ago!
"He's Chinese?" Zhou Xiao asked in surprise.
"You know anyone in baseball?" Uncle Inoue asked in surprise.
"Almost completely unaware, but this man ...... I happened to watch the footage of his game the other day. Zhou Xiao said.
"He's the hottest baseball player in the past two years, and it's said that he is likely to become a lifelong enemy with Shodai Tanaka in the future, and he received an invitation from the major leagues before graduating from high school, and it's ...... to know that Hara can meet him" A female staff member shook her head, and she didn't know whether the expression was saying that this man had no vision or that Hara had shit luck.
"Are you sure the two of them are really related?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"It was the man who took the initiative to admit it, so ...... It's pretty bad......" said the staff.
"What is the man's image?"
"Very good, very handsome and stylish. It's good to have an energetic personality, and in the past two years, some experts have studied that you and his presence have increased the average favorability of Chinese people in Japan by more than 5%. The staff said.
"Humph! Is my role greater or is his role greater!? Zhou Xiaoyi raised his chin. Tsundere said.
"Of course, your role is great, even in the history of Japan, there has never been such a powerful you, but ...... You know, although you're an all-rounder. But only in sports, you don't get involved much, so his presence is special......" said the staff.
It's not uncommon for Japanese people to like Chinese athletes. Not to mention Ning Zetao and other small fresh meat in recent years, the most legendary is the Chinese men's volleyball team, which once fascinated Japanese women.
"So that means...... Falling in love with this man, not only will not damage her image, but may make her style higher? Zhou Xiao asked with some sarcasm, this man is much better than that gentleman.
"To a certain extent, I guess that after the matter is announced, everyone may first scold him for not being worthy of him."
If it's 14 or 15 years ago, there's no problem with the Emperor, but now it's just an AKB member who has just risen, and everyone still has some displeasure.
"What team does this man play for?" Zhou Xiao looked at the information and asked.
"The Giants."
"The Giants? Speaking directly about the place, how do I know which team the Giants are. Zhou Xiao said.
"Yomiuri Giants, home stadium is Tokyo Dome!"
"So it's a team from Tokyo? Okay, I see. Zhou Xiao nodded.
He doesn't know much about baseball, although he doesn't know the Yomiuri giants, but he knows the Fukuoka Softbank Eagles, because this team is under the banner of SoftBank Son Masayoshi, and he is worried that if this man plays in a team like SoftBank, moving Zhihara to HKT will make everyone feel that Zhou Xiao is making a mandarin duck, and now it is easy to determine that this kid is playing in Tokyo.
Even if he moved his fingers to Fukuoka, the rice would only be happy.
"Okay, okay, all the things in the original will wait until the final general election Wenchun and they will announce it, now, at this stage, the focus of our work is the general election, to get the battle of Yuko Maeda, and the last general election of Shinoda !" Zhou Xiao said excitedly.
"Yes!" The staff members packed their things and prepared to go to the general election venue, shouting at the same time.
Under the super market attention. The 4th general election of AKB48 has begun.
The lineup of nearly 240 people worked hard for a ranking, and the sweat and tears of the girls were the things that people talked about the most.
The staff went to the general election venue one after another, but Zhou Xiao did not move, he called Pan Jiale alone in the office.
"Can you still have an influence on Wenchun now?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Weekly Wenchun? No, no...... In Japan, they are now more and more conservative, and their control over the media is getting tighter and tighter, not to mention Wenchun, and even NHK, which we have always paid more attention to, has become more and more influential. Pan Jiale said.
"Can you also be influential on national television?" Zhou Xiao was surprised.
"Actually, it's all public, and many of the former high-level officials on the NHK side are more inclined to us in terms of stance, but now there are not many such people. There is less and less we can do with NHK. What's wrong? Did something happen? Pan Jiale said.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a few small scandals, and we can handle it ourselves." Zhou Xiaodao.
"Don't you need help?"
"No, there is no need to deal with the scandal at all, I just called and felt that the matter couldn't be left like that, and Wen Chun had to pay some price." Zhou Xiaodao.
"I'm so sorry for that...... It's hard to help right now. Pan Jiale said apologetically.
"I said Lao Pan, what kind of department does you do, I didn't help in China before. It's still not possible to be abroad now, or you can just quit and work with me. Zhou Xiao said.
"There's no way...... Pan Jiale said with a wry smile: "Our existence is semi-open to both China and Japan, and it is impossible for the Japanese side to allow a department that threatens them to have an impact on the two countries at will, and the situation is actually similar at home." We are really just an administrative department now, and apart from the convenience of contacting the top management, the rest of the role is very small. ”
"Alright, we'll handle the matter ourselves this time." Zhou Xiao said.
"Zhou Xiao! Don't hang up the phone just yet. It's true that we didn't do well these two times, but don't worry, we'll ask for more permissions from above. Japan may not be able to, but in the future, at least in China, I can guarantee that we will definitely be able to help you even more! Pan Jiale listened to Zhou Xiao's tone with dissatisfaction, so he said a little anxiously.
Zhou Xiao's role is too great, his money is not the key, the key is that his influence is too great, and even Son Masayoshi, whose assets are far greater than his, is difficult to compare with him in terms of ordinary public influence, so for their department, Zhou Xiao is an existence that must be won in Japan.
"I know, we've known each other for all these years, and I still trust you very much, and I know you don't want to do this either." Zhou Xiao said.
"That'...... How are you going to deal with the people on Wenchun's side? Pan Jiale asked.
"I'm afraid you can't do anything at the legal level, Wen Chun has also professionally torn up with various entertainment companies and even political parties for many years, they will definitely try to avoid the wording and content that may cause problems in legal affairs, and this matter is not strictly speaking, it is not an excessive thing, and the law allows the media to publish all kinds of information about artists to a certain extent.
So ...... "Zhou Xiao spread his hands, this matter...... Although it made them passive, strictly speaking, it didn't hurt their muscles and bones, and Zhou Xiao just couldn't swallow this breath.
After hanging up Pan Jiale's phone, Zhou Xiao finally got up and went to the general election venue, even on the way to the venue, his mind was still constantly thinking.
Wen Chun's matter must not be left like this, even if he and AZX plus Zhiyuan and other own forces have nothing to lose at all, and even get some help, he must do something, and he must not make people feel that they are easy to bully, otherwise there will only be more and more people who come to bully him.
After thinking all the way, he finally had his own idea before reaching the general election venue as soon as possible.
Even when he got out of the car, he was still on the phone with the company: "Stop all cooperation with Wenchun Group, right!" All my copyrights and serializations included! Zhou Xiao said categorically.
AKB is not much for Wen Chun even if he breaks off the connection, but for Zhou Xiao, one of his many halos is that he is a popular writer who has released many novels, and this coupled with his fame, his book sales have always been among the best.
Especially the often-selling attribute of books has always been very high, and many of Zhou Xiao's books from eight or nine years ago still have good sales.
And even if it is the change of copyright and investment in these books, Wenchun Group is also involved, Zhou Xiao broke off cooperation with Wenchun, in fact, he and AZX lost more, but who made AZX rich and Zhou Xiao has already made up his mind to give them a little color to see, everyone doesn't care about the loss or something.
Stopping the cooperation with Wenchun, of course, this matter can only be circulated in a small area for the time being, and there is still an atmosphere of joy and participation in the general election venue.
Because of Wenchun's affairs, Zhou Xiao handled a lot of things in the company, so when he came to the venue, the general election was only a few minutes away from officially starting.
"Brother Zhou Xiao!" The girls called Zhou Xiao's name excitedly, they were all uneasy when they didn't see Zhou Xiao today, and now seeing him finally appear, everyone's hearts are finally relieved.
And among them, the figure of Zhiyuan is also indispensable.
"Come on, today is a big day, no matter what happens in the future, enjoy this day." Zhou Xiao said. (To be continued......)
