In a dimly lit room in Minato, Ota put down the phone in his hand, his eyes becoming thoughtful.

"Boss, who was it just now?" A man with an inch head in the room came up upside down.

"Smack" Ota unceremoniously gave him a slap on the back of the head.

"Oops~" The little minion covered his head and looked at Ota very aggrieved, "Boss~"

"Don't ask, don't ask."

Seeing Ota's warning eyes, the little minion no longer dared to gossip about what had just happened.

It seems to be a certain big man, otherwise when would I have seen the boss so respectful.

"Take two of them, and they'll go out with me later."

"Hay!" The little minion immediately bent down to receive his life, and it seemed that he had come to live.

"And," Ota called out to the little brother who wanted to go out and shake people, "dress formally, don't look naked."

We are a serious company, not Yakuza Gokudo, you know? ”

"Huh?" The little brother below was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

"Hay! The president, the staff who came out of the post will be arranged in place immediately! ”

Looking at the serious appearance of his subordinates, Ota was stunned.

Forget it, he waved his hand irritably, "Go down."

A group of big bosses don't pretend to be like each other.

When the room became clean, Ota took a closer look at the office and was quietly distracted.

The brown leather sofa, the elegant table and chairs, and the magnificent desk, all of which made Ota secretly sigh.

It's really a time has passed.,I didn't expect that I didn't graduate from high school.,There will be a day when I will be the president.。

Thinking about the dilemma when I first came to Tokyo, and comparing the current situation, it is true that being a retainer is also a science.

It is especially important to follow the right people, and the original "Shirakawa-kun" has now grown to an unattainable height.

But the more this happened, the more Ota strengthened his thoughts.

Now that he can become the president of a trading company, San-san, he depends on whose help, Ota knows very well in his heart.

That's right, today's Ota is no longer a gangster wandering the streets.

Relying on the garbage picking industry chain that Shirakawa Kaede once left behind, Ota has officially carried forward this business.

With more and more people below, the area involved is getting wider and wider.

So with the help of Shirakawa Kaede, a trading company called "Mud Stick" was established in Minato Ward.

"Mud stick" means thief or thief in slang.

Later, with the development of the times, it slowly evolved into a synonym for the flea market for antique goods such as old goods and second-hand goods.

The reason why it has this meaning is that it evolved from the process of thieves stealing property and finally handing it over to the merchant to set up a stall to sell the stolen goods.

Especially in the fifties and sixties, when the economic situation of neon was very bad.

In exchange for some food rations, many people take out their household things and put them outside, praying for something to eat.

As a result, a mud stick market came into being.

In the noisy alley, on the white roller shutter in front of a small shop, the black word "mud stick" is a friendly memory for many people.

Now when it comes to this word again, it no longer only refers to the word thief, it is also a childhood memory for many people.

And the reason why Ota chose this name is one thing, down-to-earth.

At the same time, it also reminded him of his lawless and carefree days in the countryside of Aomori.

Stealing money from the temple, stealing construction materials and selling them to small shops, and then stealing them out and selling them again.

However, today's "mud stick" trading club is very different from the traditional flea market.

From the very beginning of picking, to later repairing, and then to the current selling, all one-stop service.

In Tokyo's 23rd ward, most of the residential streets in the area will have a small second-hand shop called "mud stick".

Although the small shop is not large, it is also relatively remote. But everything from daily necessities to household appliances is available.

Of course, all this is inseparable from the help of Shirakawa Kaede, and the procedures for opening the store are prepared with the help of the people from the General Management Department of Shirakawa Electric.

Every time I get back from the garbage dump, I pull it directly to Shirakawa Electric's repair factory, where a special person is in charge.

Even the supply channels for other daily necessities were led by Shirakawa Kaede.

With the development of roots in the past two years, the mud stick has begun to take shape.

However, because this line of work is basically dealing with the lowest level of society, Ota's subordinates have gathered a large number of people who are free from the gray area.

They are not Yakuza and sometimes they do things outside the law.

During the day, he is a regular employee of the Clay Stick Club, but at night it may be a different scene.

For example, now, Ota looked out the window at the neon lights, and most of the sky was covered in black.

"Boss, the people have arrived." Outside the door, there was the sound of a subordinate announcing it.

Ota opened the drawer under his desk, where there were several secret scrolls of lacquer.

Picking up a cowhide bag marked with the word "art", Ota put on his coat and led the person into the long night.

…

Roppongi, Minato-ku, inside a black car on the side of the street.

Shirakawa Kaede looked at the information in his hand and the unsightly photos, and his eyes were about to be blinded.

"That Kitagawa San, playing with such flowers?"

Ota, who was sitting next to him, also had a strange face, "The people below squatted for half a year before they took these photos."

At first, I just targeted Kondo Masahiko, but because the other party often went in and out of a certain residence.

Later, it was slowly excavated, and finally the secret story of this Kitagawa Mulberry was introduced. ”

In fact, not only Kondo Masahiko, but also many of Janiss' artists have appeared in that room.

It's just that because the target is not them, Ota just took a little photo for information, and didn't dig any deeper.

Most of the information in Shirakawa Kaede's hands is about photos of Kondo Masahiko and Kitagawa together.

Of course, these are intimate photos, and they are also very spicy to the eyes.

Not to mention Shirakawa Kaede, even Ota almost vomited nauseously after seeing the photo at the beginning.

Although he has always been active at the bottom of society, he has never seen this face.

Those well-dressed artists turned out to be this virtuous in private.

To be honest, Ota has never paid attention to the artists he used to like since then, and his three views have changed drastically.

"My lord, it is said that there is another mystery in this Kitagawa San's office, and there may be even more material there.

But because our people can't get in, we don't know the specific content for the time being, do we need to go further? ”

"Forget it," Shirakawa Kaede shook his head, "That's enough." ”

You even have a clear picture of what brand of lubricating oil people use, what else do you want to dig?

It's even more powerful than the paparazzi, okay, but think about it.

can track an artist for more than half a year, and everything has been dug up, and the paparazzi are not so dedicated.

"Don't disclose this information for the time being, keep it for later use.

And he has some background in the military of the United States, and his sister is still unclear with the emperor's classmates.

With such a background, it is difficult for ordinary black material to make him hurt his muscles and bones.

And there is no direct conflict of interest between the other party and us for the time being, so let's do it for the time being. ”

"Hay!" Ota bowed his head and took orders.

At present, Shirakawa Electric is in a quiet period, which is a critical moment for listing.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Shirakawa Kaede chose to stand still very sensibly.

At his level, every word and deed will have an immeasurable impact.

Therefore, Shirakawa Kaede is much more cautious than before in every decision he makes.

"But that Kitagawa San won't move for the time being, but this Kondo-san in front of me needs to take care of it more."

Shirakawa Kaede handed the photo of Kondo Masahiko in his hand to Ota on the side.

"My lord, how much should I take care of it?" Ota accepted the photo, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.

"If he is not honest again, then take care of him if he can't get up."

Shirakawa Kaede's eyes swept through the window, and at the door of the Asahi TV building opposite, Seiko Matsuda, who had just come out, had a surprised smile on his face when he saw the vehicle across the road.

Can't get up sexually? Ota suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, and a cold air went straight from the tail vertebrae to the Tianling Gai.

"Understood" gritted his teeth, and the coldness in Ota's eyes became more and more intense.

"Keep your hands and feet clean, and don't come out in person."

"Hail"

Seeing that Shirakawa Kaede no longer had other orders, Ota bowed his head and saluted, then opened the car door and quietly left here.

Not far away, at the mouth of the dark alley, there was a dark shadow that seemed to be a figure shaking.

The 80s were also a reckless era for neon.

I don't know how much cement has been added to the cement pillars in Tokyo Bay.

Of course, Shirakawa Kaede is not going to do these things, and he is not extreme.

However, in the era when there were no cameras, artists had some accidents. And cause irreversible sequelae, it's also a normal thing.

"Shirakawa-kun~" accompanied by the sound of the door opening, and the sweet voice of Matsuda Seiko also came.

Shirakawa Kaede turned his gaze and put on a smiling face again, "Is the recording of the show going well?" ”

"Thanks to Shirakawa-kun, the new single is back at the top of the chart."

Matsuda Seiko, who had just gotten into the car, leaned into Shirakawa Kaede's arms like a bird, and the expression on his face was indescribably well-behaved.

Just this appearance knew that she was in a good mood, and the pair of little tiger teeth, Bai Chuan Feng could see their shining appearance in the dim car.

Seiko Matsuda certainly had reason to be happy, because of Kaede Shirakawa's advertisement at the briefing last time.

After four months, her singles in the first half of the year can return to the top of the chart, which shows the obvious effect.

The popularity that has just been received in the TV station is even more unmatched.

Program directors, planners, and even the top management of TV stations, who saw her politely and respectfully.

From a fledgling idol with no status, to today's flattery of everyone.

Of course, Seiko Matsuda understood who brought all this, so she was very obedient in front of Shirakawa Kaede.

Pose whatever you want.

There are also the eyes of several female artists who saw this Toyota Century just now, and the naked jealousy made Matsuda Seiko extremely useful in his heart.

The envy and jealousy of peers, especially female artists, is the best praise for her Matsuda Seiko.

Being an artist can earn a few bucks a year, and like Momoe Yamaguchi, 30 million yen a year is already top-notch.

Ordinary artists can have one-third of her a year, which is already considered the income of popular artists.

But where Seiko Matsuda just lives, there is more income than an ordinary artist who has saved for ten years without eating or drinking.

In such a comparison, she is a little cautious, can she not know how to choose?

"Holy Son, tell me about the record office tonight."

"Huh?" Seiko Matsuda, who was falling into various fantasies, instantly came back to her senses, "Record office? ”

"Hmm," Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "Maybe you'll need it later." ”

Matsuda Seiko's big eyes flashed twice, and then nodded happily, "Hai, I know this best." ”
