Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 515 How Many Good Sisters Do I Actually Have?

A sixteen-year-old girl sneaks into the Umeda Hotel to meet her idol in order to see him.

Famous actor Akira Furuya's one gesture warmed her heart for the whole day!

Haruki Kadokawa got the job done in just half a day.

Gu Ming soon saw the corresponding report on the evening news.

Through Haruki Kadokawa's intervention, the nature of the incident changed. It was said that a fangirl disguised herself as a hotel staff member to visit the hotel to support her idol. After being spotted by Akira Tani, she was taken in, and an advertisement was placed in the newspaper to actively search for her family.

A problem that could be described as a crisis has been averted.

At noon, the audition trip to Osaka ended. Tani Akira and the audition team members waited in the lobby. Harada Tomoyo sat to the side, her eyes fixed on Tani Akira and unwilling to look away.

Until the hotel's revolving door was turned, Harada Tomoyo's mother appeared on the other side.

The woman rushed over, looking worried.

"Tomoyo! That's wonderful! I thought something might have happened to you. Thank you so much, Mr. Furuya."

She looked up at Gu Ming and Kadokawa Haruki beside him.

Haruki Kadokawa casually tapped the table in front of him, beckoning the lady to come to the lobby lounge area for a talk.

The staff spontaneously made way, creating a space that was almost deserted.

"Well... to make a long story short, your methods are really ineffective and almost ruined the opportunity that the child should have had. We'll discuss how to handle this in private."

With filming about to begin, Haruki Kadokawa certainly didn't want any trouble arising from this.

Mrs. Harada glanced at Taniaki, who sat there seemingly unconcerned. Harada Tomoyo sat to Taniaki's left.

This made her feel much more relaxed. Seeing that there seemed to be no one filming around, she leaned closer and lowered her voice.

"I say! Now that you've taken the benefits, shouldn't you take some action? Tomoyo has been quite satisfactory lately, so shouldn't this role also..."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Kadokawa Haruki's forehead veins bulged as he wanted to explode, but he held back in the end.

"No one has touched this child, and no one wants to touch her. If you think you can threaten her with something like this, then fine, we can do a medical examination. If there are any marks left by Furuya-kun or anyone else on the child, I will not only guarantee her an important role, but also give your family several million yen in compensation!"

"What if there isn't one? If there isn't, I will not hesitate to expose this matter to the public. You, your husband, your whole family's work and life, home address, interpersonal relationships, everything will be made public! You should know very well that Furuya-kun has some fans. At that time, the endless harassment is something no family can afford!"

As a public figure, exposing the private lives of an ordinary family has an extremely negative impact.

However, Haruki Kadokawa doesn't seem to care about this impact.

Such a confident attitude made Mrs. Harada feel somewhat uneasy. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Harada Tomoyo, who seemed to be very close, hoping to get some useful information from the child's face.

For example, whether they actually slept together, or even just some intimate gestures.

In short, whatever it may be, it might be a glimmer of hope.

However, Harada Tomoyo simply shook her head slowly.

She looked up at Gu Ming, and then moved the chair she was sitting on a few steps away from him.

"Mom, Mr. Furuya is a good person, nothing happened."

Mrs. Harada bit her lip, wanting to say something, but she seemed so powerless at the moment. Her lips trembled for a moment, and finally she let out a long sigh.

"Fool! I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you know what a great opportunity this is? You're going to get married anyway. It's just a matter of knocking on a door and getting a little bullied. Why bother trying to get this opportunity?"

Haruki Kadokawa tapped the table. "I advise you to be more rational. Madam, you wouldn't want people to know that you've willingly sent your underage daughter to another man, would you?"

Seeing that Mrs. Harada seemed to have given up struggling, Kadokawa Haruki finally got up.

"Come here, someone wants to negotiate with you."

Of course, we were really negotiating terms.

He had to silence her once and for all, at least to prevent her from spreading rumors.

In the blink of an eye, the lobby returned to its previous calm, seemingly back to its bustling state.

Gu Ming took a sip of the drink in his cup; the single sip of espresso was surprisingly sobering.

A girl's clear voice rang in his ears. Gu Ming looked up and saw Harada Tomoyo standing ten steps away from him, bowing deeply.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Furuya."

“There’s no need to apologize to me. After all, you’re just a child. A mother’s request isn’t so easy to refuse. Besides, at least you know what you should do.”

Although Gu Ming can prove that nothing really happened, once something is said, it's very difficult to clarify it no matter how hard you try.

Of course, he could also collude with Haruki Kadokawa to control the media channels and then wantonly toy with the poor girls, but Gu Ming really couldn't do such villainous things.

Sometimes, when Gu Ming thinks about these things, he can't help but laugh at himself.

So if he were a slightly less capable person, he would probably be living a very happy life in Japan.

Sure enough, Gu Ming was quite envious of that kind of life.

But the fact that he went this far was his own choice.

Coming to his senses, Gu Ming casually pushed the untouched desserts on the table forward.

"Take the script back and study it carefully. We'll let you know when filming starts. Don't worry about your mother. She won't do such things again. Someone will teach her a lesson. If you have time, go to Kadokawa Shoten and buy a copy of 'The New Eight Dogs of Satomi.' It will help you understand the character."

Harada Tomoyo's brows relaxed, and the slight worry she had shown over the past few days finally disappeared.

"Ok!"

She nodded firmly: "I will play this role well and I will definitely not let Mr. Furuya down."

Gu Ming smiled and watched her eat her dessert in small bites, then added, "Actually, you don't always have to call me Mr. Gu Gu."

"Ok?"

"You can also learn from others."

Learn from others.

Harada Tomoyo pondered for a moment, recalling how the others addressed her, and a sudden realization dawned on her.

That's a really useful nickname.

"Brother Gu Gu! Brother!"

Gu Ming nodded.

Hey!
There's no chance with other relationships, but surely he can find a few younger sisters!
