Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

“Of course.” Sheng Yan walked towards the office building.

"I can already foresee that after the videotape is released, I'll be torn to shreds by those music lovers." Tanaka Yutaka looked constipated, held it in for a while, then glanced back at Kanzaki Yumi and continued, "She agreed?"

"I don't care, it's just a music video, I didn't take my clothes off." Kanzaki Yumi waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she didn't mind.

As long as it makes money, it doesn't matter where it's placed, since the copyright belongs to him! Even the person in the picture is his.

Kanzaki Yumi was secretly delighted about announcing her new relationship in front of a group of reporters. As for whether she would be labeled a "homewrecker," Sayuri probably wouldn't want that to happen. Someone as cute as her would cooperate, right? She'd have to plead with her properly…

Anyway, if you randomly interview any rich man on the street, he'll tell you he's hiding several women. As for the women, they either don't dare admit it, or they're not attractive enough...

“What I mean is, you’re wasting a lot of talent. More than a dozen record companies have already called—Sony, Toshiba, Pony Canyon…”

It's shameful to think that such high-class music is included in pornographic films; it makes me feel like I'm ruining art...

Chapter 81 My Dear Sister and My Foolish Sister

Tanaka Yutaka was just venting; he was actually quite excited.

The copyright to the lyrics and music naturally belongs to Sheng Yan, while the copyright to the original master tapes, i.e., the production company, definitely belongs to Xia Ying She.

When record companies come to discuss cooperation, they are talking about the authorization and transfer of these two rights.

They've struck it rich.

Before the pornographic films were even sold, the music copyrights came first.

Although they are a new company with newly established artists, their songs have already proven their success on the charts and can definitely fetch a high price. That song, "Don't Give Up," is really good...

Tanaka Yutaka wore headphones and listened to music all night.

This unexpected surprise made Tanaka Yutaka forget about his pornographic filming work and even called Eiyo to ask her to come to the company early to start preparing for music copyright matters.

After all, Eiyo is currently the company's chief lawyer. And while the young lady, Kanzaki Yumi, is also a lawyer, she's clearly done for.

She even went public with her relationship, showing absolutely no ambition to become a big star. Her only goal seems to be President Takenaka...

Of course, right now, Eiyo is also preoccupied with how to register her marriage with Katsuhiko.

In addition, at this time, she was on her way here with Sayuri and Kotoha on the subway.

The three of them sat together, with Little Lily in the middle, her petite body making her look like a child, but her expression was very serious.

They discussed the specific procedures, and the location for catching them in the act would likely be in the office.

Eiyo and Kotoha revealed that last time Katsuhiko and Kanzaki Yumi were in the office, they were about to start something when they were caught by the two of them, and it didn't work out, so they definitely wouldn't give up.

After all, it was in the office, which sounds quite romantic... At the time, Kanzaki Yumi's butt was sticking out, and she was wearing a super short skirt that showed her underwear, which was probably only two fingers wide... She herself was embarrassed to wear such lewd clothes...

"Don't go into so much detail about things that aren't relevant to you," Xiaobaihe said, her face flushed red with embarrassment and annoyance. "We're going to catch someone cheating, we need to find the right moment to enter..."

Sayuri was conflicted; timing it too early or too late wouldn't be enough to effectively intimidate Kanzaki Yumi.

But what if you time it too perfectly and anger your husband? And seeing that scene would be incredibly embarrassing and shameful for you...

"Catching someone in the act is the only solid evidence; that's what the police do when they're cracking down on prostitution, they even take photos..."

As a lawyer, Ying Dai naturally had a meticulous mind. He first presented evidence that left no room for argument.

Kotoha chimed in, "Katsuhiko-kun likes Sayuri-chan so much, and he even gave his tacit approval, so we definitely have to time it perfectly, just wait for them to be on the desk..."

"No, no, no, please stop talking..." Xiaobaihe quickly covered Qinye's mouth, glanced around, and then said, "Let's talk after we get off the bus."

Behind the three whispering figures was Yuma Kanzaki, wearing a black baseball cap, a blue mask, and sunglasses. She was wearing headphones, listening to "I Want to Shout I Love You," and holding a manga magazine, reading "Naruto."

The place where the author's name should be written, the four characters "Takenaka Katsuhiko," were picked off by her fingernails...

He doesn't seem like a cartoonist at all; how can he draw so well and even write songs and compose music...? Yumi's going to be a big star, am I going to be the little sister again...?

Should we beat them all up right now? To "repay" my awful sister for cutting my hair? You wouldn't recognize her, would you...?

She had been wanting to cut her braids for a while, but because she was worried that her naughty younger sister would say she was imitating her, she kept them...

After much deliberation, she felt it was not a good idea. Eiya and Kotoha had already bullied her younger sister and knew how soft she was. If she were to take action herself, she would be very hard and would be recognized as soon as she did.

Instead of asking Katsuhiko Takenaka how he drew it, we should ask him first. If he refuses to teach us, we should beat up his wife and girlfriend.

So, we'll see how things go later—whether they explode or accept the "humiliation"...

From the company's perspective.

Katsuhiko entrusted Tanaka Yutaka with the arrangements for the press conference and the copyright negotiations.

Katsuhiko had quite a bit of confidence in Tanaka Yutaka's abilities and threw himself into his work almost entirely, drinking several bottles of "Focus" energy drink every day while simultaneously studying company operations management and business negotiation skills...

"President Takenaka, what are your thoughts on Ms. Eiyo's lateness?"

Tanaka Yutaka tapped his wristwatch at ten o'clock with his fingers, his face very serious. Several record companies had already arrived, showing a strong desire to purchase music copyrights.

He hoped that Katsuhiko would tell Eiyo to stop interfering with the legal affairs of the Kaei Society.

Because Tanaka Yutaka was very strict with his subordinates, he would scold them if he didn't hit them. But with Hideyo, he was not only concerned about his reputation, but also dared not do so. What if Hideyo whispered in Katsuhiko's ear and fired him?

Such tardiness is intolerable, and yesterday he was even fooling around in the office, showing no dignity as a lawyer whatsoever; it's practically a desecration of the law.

Katsuhiko understood Tanaka Yutaka's predicament, but Eiyo was an all-around lawyer, not only with comprehensive professional skills, but also with unwavering loyalty, so naturally he couldn't let her be idle.

Of course, there will be many things to discuss regarding the copyright of the works in the future. Katsuhiko immediately decided to establish a legal department now and have Tanaka Yutaka go out and recruit a few professional lawyers.

Major issues affecting the company's core business, such as being sued or suing others, are handled by Yingdai, while simpler, less serious business copyright negotiations are handled by others.

Tanaka Yutaka was very satisfied with Katsuhiko's decision. As for Kanzaki Yumi, who was also a lawyer, she had voluntarily retired from her legal profession and become a star that Xia Ying Society would focus on developing and promoting.

Having finished explaining everything, Tanaka Yutaka waved goodbye and left to greet clients who came to purchase the copyrights and to begin preparations for the press conference.

Kanzaki Yumi's pager beeped, and when she looked down, she smiled broadly.

He left Katsuhiko behind and ran quickly into the president's office. He grabbed the office door, leaving only a crack, and said, "I need to make a phone call. Wait at the door and don't come in."

Then the door slammed shut with a bang, the lock clicked, and it was locked from the inside.

After getting off the subway, Yuma Kanzaki found a public phone booth on the shopping street closest to the factory area and called Yumi Kanzaki.

As soon as the call connected, Kanzaki Yumi grinned and said, "My dear little sister, are you ready?"

“Foolish little sister,” Yuma Kamisaki sneered, then said, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll beat Sayuri until she cries and then frame you for it?”

"Then you can forget about becoming a great cartoonist in your entire life. My boyfriend is very family-oriented. If you make his wife cry, he will hit you."

"How could you say such shameless things?" Shen Qi Yuzhen didn't want to argue with her, so she continued, "The three of them will be at the company in about ten minutes. When are you coming?"

Yumi Kanzaki left a note for Yuma Kanzaki beforehand, instructing her to wait at the only couples' hotel in the commercial street closest to the factory area.

She really wanted to be in the office; the thought was exciting. But it wasn't convenient to switch places, since there was nowhere to hide in the office. She couldn't very well have Yuma Shinsaki hide behind the sofa and wait while she watched!

I don't care about myself, but wouldn't Sheng Yan be getting all the benefits for nothing? He has such a great physique, anyone would be mesmerized...

"Then let's have half an hour! Did you put on the clothes I left for you?"

"I won't wear those lewd clothes! You shameless woman, don't end up losing both your money and your man."

Yuma Kamisaki snorted and hung up the phone.

However, if the cooperation afterwards is not real and they wear those kinds of clothes, wouldn't they just be taken advantage of for nothing?

Kanzaki Yumi hung up the phone and immediately opened the office door.

Sheng Yan was standing in the hallway, looking at the two songs he had just exchanged for with four gold coins: "Blue Bird" and "Time after time".

The four gold coins were obtained from Little Lily yesterday and last night.

After Sheng Yan hummed the tune softly, it sounded quite familiar.

One is a song from "Naruto", and the other is a song from "Detective Conan".

However, he didn't know that the lyricist and composer of "Blue Bird" was Mizuno Ryoki, the lead vocalist of the band Ikimonogakari, Yoshioka Kiyoe. Another song was written and sung by Kuraki Mai, and composed by Ohno Aika.

These two songs have a long validity period, seven or eight years...

It seems that once you don't know the specific original creator's name, it's easy to rip someone off. Why not just give it to Yumi Kanzaki and use it to boost the charts?

"Hey, Katsuhiko-kun, come here, come here quickly~ let's talk about this."

Kanzaki Yumi poked half her head out of the door, revealing her white teeth as she smiled and waved to Katsuhiko.

It has a pretty flamboyant feel to it.

Today, Yumi Kanzaki is wearing black low-heeled shoes, black straight-leg pants, a white shirt, and a thin khaki trench coat. Although her bust size is smaller than that of a koto leaf, she has a lithe figure and super long legs.

Katsuhiko casually put the lyrics and music into his pocket. Before he even reached the door, Kanzaki Yumi suddenly stretched out her arm, grabbed Katsuhiko by the collar, and dragged him into the room.

She didn't close the door, but pressed Sheng Yan against the doorframe, placed her hands on his chest, and dug one finger into his breast, looking up and asking:

"Little Lily is about to bring her two younger sisters here to catch them cheating. I want to give her a chance. Can you cooperate?"

Sheng Yan glanced at the time; it was nine in the morning. He immediately took out the lyrics and music, stuffed them into her hand, and then said: "Let's go to the recording studio first and get down to business."

These two songs are of superb quality and will most likely top the charts again, dominating the charts for the next thirty years...

After I finished my work, I took the opportunity to rest at the love hotel I hadn't stayed at last time, the same hotel where I stayed with Yingdai.

Kanzaki Yumi was taken aback. Katsuhiko not only sang for her again, but also suddenly wanted to change the subject. She couldn't help but laugh with surprise and said, "You wouldn't be letting Sayuri miss her just to be considerate of me, would you?"

Sheng Yan hadn't thought about this; it was just normal work procedure. The company was short of money and needed to raise it as quickly as possible.

Besides, since Mikoto had already informed her, she still didn't take it seriously, which clearly meant she had her own plans. She maintained a neutral stance, refusing to help either side and letting them make a fuss on their own.

However, in Kanzaki Yumi's mind, she thought Katsuhiko was just being stubborn and was trying to take care of her feelings.

They even gave me two songs! Such a talented and promising person, I'm so grateful, I'll just stick close to them...

Of course, plans that have already been prepared cannot be cancelled.

If Sayuri misses out this time, she'll definitely come back next time. She needs to be satisfied, since it's not like she's only coming with Katsuhiko this time. She's already decided to be with him for life.

My sister's changing locations, so if you want to catch her cheating, you'd better keep up...

So, how can we pretend to be unaware and reveal this information to Sayuri?

"Little Lily is coming soon, let's kiss for five minutes first..."

Unable to control her emotions any longer, Kanzaki Yumi stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Katsuhiko's neck, and leaned in before she could finish speaking.

But after only a few seconds of contact, Kanzaki Yumi's tiptoe came down, and her long, straight legs went a little weak.

She looked up in a panic, her fair face flushed red, and her eyes seemed a little blurry.
