"First meeting, Qiu Yangsang. I'm Kosuke Nagase, who is here at the Idol Department of the University of Tokyo, and is in charge of the brokerage work. ”

In the café downstairs of Sony Park in Ginza, Qiu Yang met Sang, an agent who had been operating the affairs of the idol department behind the scenes, a somewhat unkempt middle-aged man with a ball-like head and a scruffy beard.

Shinoda Cangzhen was afraid that he would not be able to control the field alone, so he said that he deliberately called the agent Sang to follow, but he didn't expect to directly send the biggest person in charge.

"Nagase-san, first time we met, I'm Qiu Yang."

To be honest, when he saw Nagase-san, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart - behind-the-scenes personnel of Nagase's level generally do not have contact with Qiu Yang and other ordinary student members, but only with the management of Shinoda and Suzuki. Once it appears, it is basically accompanied by personnel changes.

"I'm in big trouble and I'm going to be fired......"

Qiu Yang's heart beat a drum.

"In a moment, the people from their side will come down and explain something to us, so let's sit down and wait a while."

Kosuke Nagase easily beckoned Qiu Yang to sit down beside him, patting him on the shoulder with some familiarity.

"Relax a young man, even if the other side really makes any unreasonable requests, my brother will give you a cover."

Not long after he sat down, Qiu Yang saw two men in suits walking towards their table, not very old, and they looked seven or eight years older than Qiu Yang.

"Nagase-san, it's been a long time, I didn't expect to have you with me this time."

The young man who walked in front was the first to speak, and it seemed to be an old acquaintance of Nagase-san.

"Nanxiang, you don't have to be polite with me."

To Qiu Yang's surprise, Nagase's attitude towards him was quite casual, and he didn't look like a business partner at all.

The man wasn't annoyed, just laughed.

"It's not like there's an outsider, I always have to pretend."

"This is Qiu Yangsang, right? The junior looks more handsome than on the screen. ”

"When we first met, I was Yui Nango of Nogizaka's operation team, and I was also their general agent."

"Ah, hello Nango-san, first meeting."

I thought that I would only send a small employee to warn and warn myself, but I didn't expect that it was not small when I heard it, and Qiu Yang became a little cramped.

At this time, I suddenly remembered what Nango Yui had just called him.

“…… Younger brother? Is Nango-san also from Todai? ”

"—yes."

Nagase on the side interjected, with a little teasing.

"This kid was my little follower when he was in college, I didn't think that he was young and promising now, and he was blue."

Nagase-san laughed. Nango Yui waved his hand, looking a little panicked, "Where can I compare to Nagase-san sitting on ......"

"-Alright, alright, the compliment is over here, let's get down to business."

Kosuke Nagase interrupted.

"I was just chatting and being rude, who is this ......?"

"Hello Nagase-senpai, hello Qiu Yangsang, first time we met, I'm Jingu Teruhito of Sony Music."

"-Sony Music?"

Nagase and Qiu Yang raised their eyebrows at the same time and glanced at each other, a little surprised.

……

……

"So, let's start with me."

After everyone sat down, Nanxiang Yui lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, taking the lead in making a move.

"Does Qiu Yangsang know about the matter between you and Saito Asuka-san, in fact, our side has known about it for a long time."

"What do you mean...?"

Qiu Yang didn't expect the way to cut into the topic so directly, and he was a little flustered.

"From the end of last year, you went on a date with her in Odaiba. At that time, a report of the relevant came to us, but we suppressed it. ”

Nanxiang Wei raised his eyes and glanced at Qiu Yang, his eyes were full of "why don't you hide it", and the hatred of iron is not steel.

“……”

Qiu Yang was speechless, he really didn't expect that he had been targeted by the operation team long before he knew Asuka's idol identity - but now there is no need to explain to Nanxiang, it is always useless.

"After that, Saito-san's sick leave was also arranged by us, and it was intended that she could think about your relationship carefully, because at that time, our operation was asking for a breakup."

He suddenly changed his words.

"It's just that now it looks like she's not doing it."

"Azukha She ......"

Sure enough, as Qiu Yang had expected before, from the disappearance of the bird to the loss of contact, a series of operational decisions were caused.

But he always wanted to complain about her - obviously she really fulfilled her responsibilities, and she had no personal contact with herself at all. even ignored his own invitation, and it was clear that he was already in a state of ruthless breakup.

However, Qiu Yangsang rest assured, after all, you must also know that this report did not reveal particularly serious facts or public opinion, at most it can be regarded as a crooked attack. So this time, we won't do the same intra-group punishment as last time, and we won't order her to take sick leave or whatever. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yang's heart relaxed slightly, on the one hand, he would not bring any trouble to Asuka because of him; On the other hand, he also accepted the attitude from Nogizaka's operation - the impact was still within the range of their acceptance.

"—all this is conditional, though."

Nango Yui's words came to an abrupt end, and he stole a glance at Nagase, as if he was afraid that he would get in the way, and said with a sneer.

"The premise is that Qiu Yangsang must cooperate with our work."

"What job?"

Qiu Yang can be regarded as having comprehended the words of this group of big and small foxes, and the faint threat is hidden in the words, so that he has no choice.

He subconsciously looked at Kosuke Nagase beside him for help, although Nagase frowned, but his expression was not particularly serious, and he just motioned for Yui Nango to continue.

"—I'll talk about it next, I'll be the wicked man."

Jingu Teharahito, who had been silent for a long time, took over.

"As far as I know, generally speaking, Nanxiang San's way of dealing with love behavior is very simple, that is, to change contact information and cut off the relationship, unless there is a bad incident such as a private leak, basically they will not contact the man's party."

"But Qiu Yangsang is different, should it be said that he is too good? Unexpectedly, with his own platform and strength, he not only got in touch with the entertainment industry, but also became a half-ground artist and accumulated a certain popularity. ”

Although it was a flattering tone, Jinguji smiled bitterly.

"This is both admirable and difficult for us to operate. Because in this way, the previous lockdown methods will not work very well, and you will always have high-sounding opportunities to come into contact with them, such as performances, or even on the ground. ”

"But if you don't control it at all, Qiu Yangsang will also see the consequences, and a lot of lace news is waiting for you."

"So on our side, we came up with a plan."

Jinguji reached into his bag and rummaged through the materials. Qiu Yang breathed for a while, knowing that the main event was coming.

"We want to sign Qiu Yangsang."

In front of him was a contract.

……

……

"So what has been determined now is a special contract, there are no requirements for performance, and the salary is only the basic salary plus commission, but it must be included in the control of its artists and subject to the company's arrangement."

At the same time, some resources will be provided, such as cover albums and even the recording of original songs and variety shows. The influence has expanded, and it will even help contact the announcement of models and films, right? ”

When it came to the discussion of specific terms, Qiu Yang went offline, and handed over the professional Nagase-san to connect with Sony, and he just listened to these rules and regulations very dreamily.

- What do you mean? You're about to become an artist yourself? He still felt a little unreal.

"That's right, it's actually not that complicated, it can be understood that this is a special contract for part-time jobs, and the role is mainly to facilitate us to manage the relationship between Qiu Yangsan and Saito Asuka-san."

"After all, Saito-san has given so much to the team, it's rare to have a relationship, and we don't want to beat the mandarin ducks."

Nango Yui's words touched him a lot - it was really Asuka's luck to have such an understanding operator.

"Nanxiang, you will deceive Qiu Yang when you say this, don't come with me."

Nagase on the side solemnly swept Nango's only eye and interrupted loudly.

"If you weren't able to profit from it, how would you be so merciful? To put it bluntly, I just want to take the opportunity to gamble on the future of a one-shot house artist, let alone be so high-sounding when I engage in kidnapping. ”

Nanxiang only looked at Qiu Yang a little embarrassed, and stopped answering.

Jinguji came out to play a round game:

"Nagase-san, we can't talk about kidnapping Qiu Yangsang, we must sign a contract with him, and you can also have room for consideration."

"Personally, though, I really think it's a win-win deal. And in fact, Qiu Yangsang, you have also tasted the sweetness, if you remember, in "Scatteringism", it should be broadcast after a while. ”

"That's the opportunity we gave to Nagase-san, and it's a vote."

Qiu Yang fell into deep thought, he carefully considered the words of the Jingu Temple, and felt that it was indeed reasonable.

Once he enters Sony, in addition to more control, he will have more direct access to the resources of the entertainment industry, and may even have the opportunity to cooperate directly with Little Bird.

On the other hand, it can indeed prevent another inexplicable weekly or hot search. It seems to be a hundred benefits and no harm.

What's more, if he doesn't sign, then maybe there are a lot of troubles waiting for Azuka, and this is the last thing he wants to see.

To put it bluntly, he didn't have a choice.

"Nagase-san, don't think about it, I decided to sign."

Qiu Yang stretched out his hand and was about to take the contract, but Nagase pressed his hand down, his expression a little serious.

"Qiu Yang, you can think about it, Sony is not as good as us, we still start from your individual interests."

After speaking, he didn't care about the presence of the person on the other side, and said to himself.

"They, not necessarily."

Seeing that although Nagase was only a one-sided friend, he really cared about himself from the bottom of his heart, Qiu Yang was a little moved.

It's just that he has made up his mind.

"-Brother Nagase, I know it all."

He bypassed the blocking hand and held the contract in front of him.

"But I feel that since the opportunity has found me, I have to try to take it, even if it is taken advantage of."

"Nango-san and Jinguji-san are right, this matter is also beneficial to me, and I am not so bad."

"What's more, with the matter of Asuka, I also hope that I can ease some of her pressure by doing this, even if I sell myself, it is not a loss."

With that, he scratched his nose and smiled appreciatively at the three of them.

"I'm an ordinary international student, and I actually cause a lot of trouble to everyone, and I'm very grateful that everyone can still think about me like this."

With that, he picked up the pen on the side of the table and signed his name on the contract quite solemnly.
