Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze sharpened.

It turned out to be the case.

Hosoya attended the previous production committee meeting to demonstrate his difference from Akane and Toei.

Hosoya did not participate in the subsequent audition meetings in order to show that he was different from the other producers.

This allowed him to stand out from the production committee and temporarily become a centrist who could be won over.

The reason Soejima mingled with the other producers was to create the impression that Kasumigaoka Utaha was isolated and helpless. The subsequent reminder was to find Hosoya as her lifeline.

They didn't hide their thoughts; instead, they wanted Kasumigaoka Utaha to realize them herself.

Chapter 701 I Will Take Action

After all these actions, Kasumigaoka Utaha has only one choice.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the phone beside her.

His gaze grew increasingly cold.

The smile gradually turned cruel.

Ah... I see.

Before, Kasumigaoka Utaha was wondering if she, as the producer, had done something wrong that led her to this terrible situation.

Now she understands.

The bad thing is these guys.

Then what to do is very simple.

Kasumigaoka Utaha dials Hosoya's number.

"Hello?" Hosoya's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I am Kasumigaoka Utaha".

"Ah, Kasumigaoka-P, what's up?" Hosoya's voice was tinged with amusement. "Did the audition go well?"

"It's not going well at all." Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile widened. "So I wanted to ask, do you have any ideas?"

“There are still many ways.” Hosoya paused. “But do you think it’s appropriate to say this over the phone?”

"According to your opinion?"

"I'm at Aman now."

Aman Tokyo Hotel.

A cold glint flashed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's crimson eyes. "What do you mean?"

"When you ask for help, you should have the right attitude," Hosoya's voice was sticky like a toad's, "and you should also make some sacrifices."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her eyelids slightly, "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand."

"Good, very good." Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice suddenly turned icy. "You've successfully turned a good business collaboration into a personal feud. You're a guy who has no charm and can only rely on your pitiful power to rack your brains to threaten others. Take your filthy thoughts to the cesspool and merge with your kind. While you're at it, find some resonance with the maggots. If that still can't cover up your scum, then you might as well reincarnate as soon as possible and waste less air. That would be the least you've done as a human being."

"you!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't bother listening to what he had to say and hung up the phone immediately.

Since it's not a problem with her work ability, then this is not something she can solve alone.

Feeling refreshed, Kasumigaoka Utaha walked out of the office and knocked on the president's office door.

After a while, Kobayashi Megumi's voice came from inside, "Come in."

Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed open the door, her gaze lingering for a moment on Kobayashi Megumi's slightly flushed face. "Did I disturb you?"

"You seem to be in a good mood," Kobayashi Megumi said, smoothing her slightly disheveled hair. "What's up?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha replied, "I gave Hosoya a fair assessment."

Kobayashi Sora looked over. "You insulted him?"

"...That's a fair assessment."

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "That was a really dirty insult."

Kobayashi Megumi gestured for Kasumigaoka Utaha to sit down, "What are the specifics?"

“It’s like this…” Kasumigaoka Utaha briefly explained her thoughts and subsequent actions, “So now I want to know some information about Soejima and Hosoya.”

"Soejima is Hosoya's apprentice and likes to use unspoken rules to get voice actors to work their jobs," Kobayashi Sora said with a smile. "Hosoya is Soejima's teacher and also likes to use unspoken rules to get voice actors to work their jobs."

Kobayashi Megumi frowned slightly.

“Well… this kind of trash is everywhere, but this Hosoya guy has quite a background.” Kobayashi Sora tapped her forehead lightly. “His great-grandfather, Hosoya Jutaro, had the power to change the country.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback. "That amazing?"

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Sora sneered. “Hosoya Jutaro once indiscriminately hunted and killed birds of paradise to sell for money, which led to the birds of paradise being designated as a prohibited bird by a certain country.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

“Hosoya’s grandfather, Tatsuo Hosoya, was one of the co-founders of Shochiku Films,” Kobayashi Sora added. “His older brother, Tatsuyuki Hosoya, is a professor at Nagoya University and a sumo wrestling coach.”

“Shochiku…” Kobayashi Megumi recalled, “Is it the one from ‘The Familiar of Zero’ and ‘Beelzebub’?”

“Yes.” Kobayashi Sora nodded. “He has a powerful background, but too much dirt on him, so it’s easy to deal with.” He looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha. “Next time, scold him even harsher.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha was speechless. "Aren't you afraid I'll run into even more troublesome guys?"

“You’re not going to cause trouble like a villain, and besides…” Kobayashi Sora’s eyes flickered slightly as she pointed to her head. “Even the most troublesome person has a solution.”

Kobayashi Megumi said proudly, "My husband is very reliable."

"You have moments like this too, huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled as she looked at Kobayashi Megumi, whose demeanor was somewhat different from her usual calm.

"So just leave this to me." Kobayashi Sora was overjoyed by the praise. "Just like you said, this is no longer a business collaboration, but a personal feud."

“Okay~” Kasumigaoka Utaha drawled out.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the office was starting to take a turn for the worse, she wisely chose to leave.

If we don't leave soon, we won't be able to eat dinner.

"Shiyu?"

As soon as she stepped outside, Kasumigaoka Utaha saw Eriri. "Eriri?"

"You seem..." Eriri looked her up and down, "You seem very happy, the problem is solved?"

"Yes." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "By the way, do you have some free time lately?"

Yes, what's wrong?

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her seriously, "I have some original drawings that I'd like to ask you to help with. They're very difficult, and I think only you can do them."

"Huh?" Eriri was taken aback, blushing under Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze, and hurriedly looked away. "Well... it's not impossible, it's just something I can do... I'm not helping you! It's... for RER's reputation, so please don't get the wrong idea!"

"Yes, yes~" Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed repeatedly, her smile becoming even gentler.

It's definitely more relaxing to be with Eri Kasumi than with all that scheming and backstabbing.

"I feel like just giving them a lesson isn't enough." Kobayashi Sora hesitated for a moment, then flipped to a phone number.

Kobayashi Megumi glanced at it, "You mean...?"

“Du Ruo is a well-known magician who frequents high-society places and should know some important people. I want to ask him to help me make some connections,” Kobayashi Sora explained. “It’s also a way to strengthen our relationship. Friendships often start with helping each other out.”

Kobayashi Sora dialed the phone.

"Hello?" Du Ruo's voice came from the other end. "Kong Qing, have you eaten yet?"

"I just finished eating." Kobayashi Sora was already used to Du Ruo's familiar tone. "I have something I'd like to ask you for help with..."

Kobayashi Sora briefly recounted what happened, saying that when you want help, honesty is always the most effective way to communicate.

"I see," Du Ruo concluded. "To put it simply, those two guys were robbers, right?"

"Hmm...that's one way to understand it."

“That makes things simple.” Du Ruo said easily. “Give me some concrete evidence, and I can solve it without having to ask anyone else.”

Chapter 702 Knowing Full Well

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora had guessed that the other party might have a lot of connections, but she didn't expect them to be this many.

Even Kobayashi Sora, with his superb intelligence network, would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with Hosoya, who has a powerful background.

From the initial information gathering and preparation, to the progress control and action adjustment after taking action, to the final cleanup and erasure of traces, every step requires careful attention.

Contacting Du Ruo was also out of caution.

Putting yourself in her shoes, Kobayashi Sora wouldn't go through so much trouble for someone she'd only met twice.

Unless... this really isn't a big deal for Du Ruo.

"Is it really possible?" Kobayashi Sora asked, "They seem to have some powerful connections."

“Background,” Du Ruo paused, “that makes sense. Just cleaning them up isn’t enough; we need to nip it in the bud.”

Kobayashi Sora vaguely realized that the solution she was talking about seemed to be different from the solution the other party was talking about.

Kobayashi Sora wanted to solve the problem, but Du Ruo seemed to be preparing to take direct action and eliminate the person.

Initially, the goal was to deal with Hosoya and Soejima, but after Kobayashi Sora's reminder, Du Ruo began to consider dealing with their entire family.

"Wait a minute." Although she was looking forward to that outcome, Kobayashi Sora rationally stopped herself from having such a dangerous idea. "Wouldn't that be too troublesome?"

“No trouble at all.” Du Ruo was clearly very confident. “This is very simple. You help me gather information about their whole family, and it can be resolved by tomorrow… well, tonight.”

"Actually, I called you because I wanted you to help me introduce some influential people," Kobayashi Sora said, changing her perspective. "If I were to hand it all over to you now, that would be too much of a favor."

"Don't worry about it. I hate robbers, especially those who bully little girls," Du Ruo replied. "Besides, this kind of thing is easy for me, it's not a big deal."

The little girl... Kasumigaoka Utaha?
