Chapter 123: Plan A
"Saito-san, did you think about the consequences when you did these things......?"
Asuka Saito sat in the back seat of the car with her legs crossed, listening to Yui Nango without saying a word - if nothing else, this should be the last time she will ride in this nanny car.
She knows the weight of Nanxiang's words, contracts, endorsements, and follow-up work arrangements...... Although she had expressed her intention to marginalize the team with Director Konno many times beforehand, with her position in the team, the large number of vacancies caused by her sudden graduation was enough to give operations a headache.
- What's more, it's the moment when Horimi Nana has just graduated......
"-Don't talk about that......"
Catching a glimpse of Asuka Saito's pitiful appearance bowing his head and not saying a word from the rearview mirror, Nango's tone softened a lot.
To put it bluntly, the relationship that has been working together for ten years is still there. What's more, he also understands that he has sacrificed too much for the sake of the team, and now he is leaving for the first happiness in his life, and it is reasonable that he has no way to blame himself as an agent.
“…… So, is it still because of that Qiu Yangsang? You've been together ever since? ”
"Nope."
This sentence was answered quickly, as if she was still a little aggrieved, Nanxiang Yui suddenly felt a little sad for her.
"—Saito-san, it's all time, even if you admit it, it's okay."
"But there's really no ......"
The bird raised his head with red eyes and looked at him in the rearview mirror, but his gaze did not dodge at all.
"Okay, okay, you say no, there is no ...... But you know the current situation, right? Now is not the right time for him or for you to make their relationship public directly. ”
Nanxiang Wei didn't argue with her much, but just told cold objective facts.
"On the one hand, you may not have seen the remarks on the Internet, although they are mainly blessings and regrets, there are still a lot of posts that suspect that you are in love and out of the group. At this time, announcing it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. ”
"On the other hand, Qiu Yangsang's movie is about to be released, and it is ironic to say that although he is not an idol, from the company's point of view, it seems that he is even more unable to spread the news of love than you......"
Seeing that she buried her head again, looking like she was autistic, Nanxiang Yui couldn't say any more.
The words of comfort could not be said in his position, and he could only end the topic stiffly.
"-Well, anyway, when I get back to Tokyo, Ionno-san will have a good talk with you."
……
……
The day after returning to Tokyo, it was no surprise that Qiu Yang was invited by Jingu Teren to Sony Entertainment to "have tea".
"- Qiu Yangsang, first of all, congratulations, the movie will be released tomorrow."
Walking into the office, Jinguji had a familiar expression that was not smiling. Although he knew that he was at a loss, Qiu Yang, who was mentally prepared, simply broke the jar and broke it, and he didn't be polite with him, and sat at the desk with a scoundrel.
"You don't come to this set...... Say, how to deal with it? ”
"- What to do?"
Seeing that the man in front of him had an innocent look again, Qiu Yang had no leisure to appreciate his exaggerated acting skills at this time. He slammed his fist on the desk and said with some unhappiness.
"Less garlic, this time, I also saw how much of a storm it caused on the Internet - what do you want? Is it to delay her graduation, or is there any punishment for me? ”
"Hahaha, seeing Qiu Yangsang so energetic, I am relieved, it seems that he has recovered."
Jinguji was not annoyed, but gently pushed away Qiu Yang's hand on the table, and said lightly.
"Before that, I want to ask Qiu Yangsang, is the girl I brought last time Asuka-chan? - It's just my personal curiosity, no wonder some of them are familiar......"
"—yes and what?"
With a stiff mouth, Qiu Yang suddenly rejoiced that he had let Nana Hashimoto hide himself well-there was a moment when he regarded Jingu Shiren as his friend and thought about confessing to him.
"Not much."
The person in front of him looked at him deeply, and looking at this meaningful look, he felt a little panicked in his heart.
"-Qiu Yangsang, this is the work arrangement for the next period of time, you can take a look."
Qiu Yang was slightly stunned, not knowing why the tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
He took the schedule handed over by Jinguji Temple, which was full of the following schedules, premieres, talk variety shows, news interviews, and ...... Sure enough, the pomp and circumstance of the main event of the movie is still different, almost all of them are prime-time programs, and they are all attended as the main guests. Fortunately, the release schedule happened to be summer vacation, otherwise I really wouldn't have time to deal with it......
- No, no, that's not the point, right?
He withdrew his gaze from the itinerary and looked tentatively at Jinguji Temple.
"So, what's going on with such a normal worksheet? Didn't ...... because of that."
"-On the other hand, what does Qiu Yangsang want us to do?"
With a wry smile, Jingu Teren asked rhetorically.
"What hope do you want...... Say it as if I can decide. ”
"—Wouldn't that be good? It's like Qiu Yangsang is carrying us behind our backs that we can continue to fall in love with Saito-san, so why is it necessary for Qiu Yangsang to know about some of the things we do? ”
He slapped his palms with some leeway, as if to say something to bring the closing speech to an end.
"What's more, we can't tell if Saito Asuka-san's graduation was instigated by you, right? From this point of view alone, it is even more impossible for us to tell you about our follow-up arrangements. ”
Qiu Yang was silent, Jingu Siren's words were not wrong, whether this matter was seen outside or inside the circle, it was inseparable from himself - as he expected, he didn't even have the right to know.
"But don't worry, Azukasan will graduate as he wishes, and we will deal with the endorsement contracts he left behind or something - after all, he is a ten-year-old employee, and the matter has come to this point, and there is no point in talking about liquidated damages."
He raised his eyes with interest to observe Qiu Yang's expression, and continued to speak.
"It's just that you probably won't see her for a while."
"-What do you mean?"
Qiu Yang raised his head vigilantly and clenched his fists.
"Don't, don't, don't look at me with such horrible eyes."
Jinguji raised his hands as if in surrender.
"It's just a long vacation for her - she had already met Director Konno before you came, and this is the result of the discussion between the two, and I just relayed it."
"Rest assured, there won't be a mistake this time for you to be able to contact her. Trust me, though, you'll be too busy to think about it. ”
Qiu Yang let go of his hand, and suddenly felt a little funny—in the face of such a result, he actually felt that it was quite reasonable. Unconsciously, he found that his thinking pattern began to become no different from that of people in the entertainment industry like Jimiya Terahito.
“…… I understand. ”
He replied sullenly, and turned his gaze back to the schedule, when he suddenly realized a notice that should not have been in it.
"About the Fangu ......"
As if sensing Qiu Yang's abnormality, Jingu Terarihito opened his mouth to explain.
"Actually, there is no way, you should have seen it, and now there is already some wind of public opinion, saying that Saito Asuka-san graduated in a hurry because of his complicated relationship with you, and we are also working hard......"
"So on the one hand, we need to create the public impression that it was a business cooperation before, so we must not avoid suspicion; On the other hand, we need you to hurry up with new news to attract everyone's attention. ”
“……”、
Jingu Terarihito recounted his plans for the future, watching Qiu Yang's face gradually become gloomy, until he left with his sleeves and slammed into the door.
The next second he left the space of the office, the commercial smirk on Jinguji's face suddenly collapsed, and he leaned back on the recliner tiredly and began to talk to himself.
“…… Konno-san, next time, let's ask for another master......"
"I'm really, I'm not good at playing bad guys......"
……
……
"-Konno-san, let's ask for another master."
Asuka Saito struggled to restrain his dissatisfaction, threw a thick dozen plans on the table, and shoved them in the direction of Yoshio Konno.
"I can't accept a graduation plan like this, Azuka."
This booklet is densely filled with ABCD's different graduation plans, and gives her different options for Asuka's temporary graduation.
"We're going to have a lot of headaches...... Saito-san, you probably know how much trouble the sudden announcement of graduation has caused on our side, right? ”
Yoshio Konno's expression suddenly became serious and terrifying, and it was quite a bit that the little bird did not dare to look at him.
"Endorsements, original announcements...... Please also forgive us for our hardships, and don't get an inch. ”
Asuka Saito bit his lower lip knowing that he was wrong, and stared at the plan on the table with his head down, his heart tangled.
Nominally, the operation gives itself full respect and choice, but in reality, this plan is more and more outrageous - either postpone graduation and leave after fulfilling all the contracts; Either take the Yanshang route and directly disclose the relationship with Yang-chan, and by the way, take a ride on this new star in the entertainment industry; What's more, they either directly apologize and quit the entertainment industry......
What is the alternative? Compared with each other, it is better to say that he can already start preparing lines of apology.
"I'm so sorry, ...... Konno-san"
The bird's eyes were unconsciously filled with tears, she hated herself for being so weak, but she was born like duckweed, but she was helpless.
"I really can't accept this...... If that's all I have, I'll probably choose to quit the entertainment world......"
"Alas......"
Yoshio Konno sighed, and as if helpless, he pulled out another piece of paper from the drawer.
"There is no other way, and it is not without ...... If you look at it, this is a personal proposal of mine. ”
As if he had been redeemed, Asuka Saito gratefully accepted the piece of paper—presumably as No-san had said, just a personal proposal, or even hastily handwritten.
"Take a long vacation first, rest until winter to avoid the limelight, and then sign back, and re-debut in a variety show......"
She read cursoly, frowning slightly - it's good to avoid the limelight, it's just this debut mode......
"How? If Saito-san can't accept such a plan Z, then we can't do anything about it. ”
Yoshio Konno sensed her embarrassment, and the fanning of the flames on the side, with a white face and a red face, finished singing.
"This is also the biggest concession I can make personally, compared to Saito-san who has also given ten years to the team, and we want to do our best to think about Saito-san's future......"
"—I accept."
I don't know if it was a deliberate decision, or if Konno's words moved her, but Asuka Saito resolutely agreed.
"Okay, then, we'll inform Saito-san of the specific arrangements for the follow-up."
As if afraid that she would regret it, Yoshio Konno quickly took over.
"This time, we will strengthen management and will not let you have any contact with Qiu Yangsang again, for the sake of insurance, we should let you go abroad for a while."
"Hmmm......"
Until now, Asuka Saito can only obey.
"Then, it's trouble for Konno-san, I'm rude first."
……
Seeing Asuka Saito softly close the door, Yoshio Konno breathed a sigh of relief and took out a plan from the drawer that had been ticked a lot.
"Asuka Saito, agree to record the group "......".
He rubbed the line and put a tick on the back. And in the upper line, it is "Asuka Saito, announcing graduation", and there is also a check mark on the back that looks at the ink that has only been put on for a short time.
"Ever, there's only Plan A."
He folded the paper, put it back in the drawer, and muttered softly.
