The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

After the Episode 278 (6)

16th floor of WTV building, office area.

“I have to say, you did a great job.”

In the office, Nanajo Masato enthusiastically praised Director Tamura and Qian Xiaoyi, "I didn't expect that this project was so well done. Not only did it attract a lot of popularity, but it also hit the popularity of "Night of the Ghostly Tribe" hard. Did you know that the show has become a laughing stock on the Internet?"

Director Tamura laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. They wanted to cut off our popularity through the 1000 million yen bonus event plan, but we took advantage of them. It's like Zhou Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, who lost both his wife and his army. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we have a powerful 'military advisor' here."

When Japanese people refer to "Records of the Three Kingdoms", they mostly mean Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Indeed." Nanajo Masato looked at Qian Xiaoyi, his eyes showing admiration. "If you look at it from the beginning, the situation of Horror Night GO is like it was saved by the magic strategist's trick. It can be said that it was brought back to life! Mr. Qian has made an invaluable contribution."

"No, no." Qian Xiaoyi showed a smug smile: "It's just a little trick. It's mainly thanks to the staff of the "Horror Night GO" program team, as well as the efforts of Director Tamura and Mr. Nanajo. I just made a few insignificant suggestions. It was Director Tamura who really implemented them."

"Oh my, thank you so much." Director Tamura was overjoyed, and then continued to praise each other commercially: "All this is thanks to Mr. Nanajo. If he hadn't resisted the pressure from above and continued to delegate power to our production team to do whatever they want, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the opportunity to implement this bold plan. After all, if the plan fails, it is very likely that the situation will plummet. We still have to rely on Mr. Nanajo to speak up for the production team."

"Alright, alright, that's too much. I'm embarrassed by all the praise." Nanajo Masato said with a smile, "I'm not the kind of boss who needs flattery. To be honest, the reason I didn't get involved in this program is because I don't understand supernatural programs at all, so I just let you do it. Anyway, I won't take all the credit for your work. With the popularity of the program now, I believe we'll be able to get more say in the TV station soon."

Director Tamura's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although it was a big promise now, he hadn't seen such a big promise in several years. The program budget had been cut again and again before. How could his boss be kind to him?

Now he has become a celebrity in the company. When he passes by the office area, everyone will greet him with a smile. It is a scene that he could never have imagined in his dreams.

"Mr. Tamura, I'll have to ask you to run this program in the future. Now I want to have a chat with Mr. Qian." After making a big promise, Masato Shichijo immediately ordered the guest to leave.

Director Tamura bowed and left the office, leaving the two people to talk alone.

"Mr. Qian, let me be frank." Nanajo Masato said straight to the point: "Join WTV... No, join me and work for me. You are a very talented person. With this talent, you don't need to be an exorcist to succeed... Rather than saying this, it's better to say that it is the profession of exorcist that is hindering your success. What do you think?"

Qian Xiaoyi had a strange expression on his face. Was he trying to recruit him?
He said hesitantly, "Actually, I'm quite satisfied with my job as an exorcist..." "An exorcist is, after all, serving others." Nanajo Masato said, "If I had to choose, I would choose to be the one being served. Mr. Qian, let's be honest. Although Director Tamura is very loyal and cares about his program, what would have happened if you hadn't joined? Everyone knows that it is because of your joining that this program has been transformed and has become a popular program."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "I was just lucky. If I hadn't discovered the body by chance, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the opportunity and make Horror Night GO take off."

Nanajo Masato looked at Qian Xiaoyi with a sharp gaze and said, "Doesn't this just prove that you have very important talents? A keen sense of smell, good at seizing opportunities, insight into dangers and opportunities, decisive execution, and most importantly, you have a big picture."

"What? Pattern...structure?" Qian Xiaoyi was stunned.

Masato Nanajo looked out the window and said, "Unlike Director Tamura, or most of the employees in the building, I can see that you don't take this show seriously at all. You have your sights set on something much bigger, and the success of this show is just a tiny stepping stone to your goal. Am I right?"

"Right?" Qian Xiaoyi had a strange expression: How could it be wrong? His goal was to complete the commission given to him by Tachibana Mio, and he helped the program just to enter a higher level. As for the fact that the program is so popular now, he himself did not expect it, but it is really not important to him.

"As expected, you are not one of those short-sighted people." Nanajo Masato smiled and said, "Your goal is very clear, which is to keep climbing up until you stand at the top and look down on everyone."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded. He really wanted to go to the top floor of WTV to take a look.

"If that's the case, why are you still obsessed with the profession of exorcist?" Shichijo Masato asked, "Even if you can use those tricks to deceive some big shot and make him treat you as a guest of honor, such respect is like a mirage, extremely illusory. Once the big shot falls or changes his mind, everything you have will collapse. Therefore, only if you become a big shot yourself, those things will belong to you forever."

"Mr. Qian." Nanajo Masato turned around and said, "You are an excellent person with the talent of a military advisor. I need you to help me, just like Zhuge Kongming assisted Liu Bei. Only with me can you fully exert your abilities."

Qian Xiaoyi was amused by this. It turned out that this guy regarded himself as the lord and regarded him as Zhuge Liang. He really praised him. But this was not auspicious. Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan in the end, and Shu Han was gone in the end.
He asked, "Mr. Nanajo, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Your starting point is the end point of others. Why did you invite a small person like me? With your status, you only need to wave your hand and countless highly educated talents will want to work under you, right?"
