The strategy of the other world of the love game

She picked up the juice and stirred the syrup with a straw.

Then, just as she put the straw in her mouth and had no time to drink, a figure suddenly came uninvited and sat down opposite her.

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here again, Miss Magana."

The man opposite pushed his glasses up with an unfriendly smile on his face.

"Perhaps, this is the fate bestowed upon us by God?"

After seeing the appearance of the person opposite him, Arima Kana's face changed.

Obviously, she knew this person.

"This seat is already taken, please leave."

"Is there anyone here?"

The man crossed his legs, spread his arms on the back of the chair, looked around, and a puzzled smile appeared on his face.

"Where are the people? There's Magana. Has being an idol for a few months caused your eyes to become dull?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and made eye contact with Arima Kana, as if he wanted to see her eyes clearly through his sunglasses.

"Could it be that someone was shining a laser pen on him? There have been a lot of such incidents recently. Being an idol is really a dangerous industry."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the man's face.

"If you are injured, you must go to the hospital immediately. Having a tryst with a man in a place like this will not heal you."

"What do I do have anything to do with you?"

"Why is it okay? I'm your biggest fan! Kana-chan from B-Komachi!"

As the man spoke, he suddenly clapped his hands.

"What a pleasant name. It's very suitable for a washed-up child star like you who has no work to take, isn't it?"

Arima Kana's face turned completely dark.

Of course, the man in front of her couldn't be her fan. Instead, he was the complete opposite of a fan.

Fans spend money on their idols and artists, but this man makes money from them.

This man is the editor-in-chief of a second-rate entertainment magazine, Junpei Iwase.

The feud between Kana Arimaka and Junpei Iwase dates back several years. At that time, Kana Arimaka was in the low point of her career. Having lost the halo of a child star, she was trying to find a new direction for development, but she encountered obstacles everywhere and had less and less work.

At this time, Junpei Iwase came to the door and said that he could personally write for Kana Arima and support her comeback.

Junpei Iwase's magazine is also well-known in the industry. Although it attracts attention with shocking news and gossip, its various groundless conspiracy theories are very much in line with the public's preferences.

All this is also due to the hype ability of the editor-in-chief Junpei Iwase. He knows how to catch the public's attention.

Previously, Junpei Iwase had also promoted several small stars. Although they were not very famous, at least they had work to do, which was much better than Kana Arimaka's current situation.

This is why he has his eyes on Amaganai.

At that time, Kana Arima was desperate and agreed to talk to Junpei Iwase.

However, the request made by Junpei Iwase left Kana Arima dumbfounded.

Junpei Iwase's request is simple and pure, he wants Magana to be his woman.

He will hold the post as long as he holds the position.

This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and countless female stars have become famous through this method.

But the problem was that Kana Arima was less than fifteen years old at the time and had just graduated from the category of child star.

This is of a completely different nature.

The power-for-sex transaction between adults can be said to be purely a matter of mutual benefit, but Junpei Iwase attacked Kana Arima, who was still a minor at the time, which was a pure act!

How could Arima Kana agree to Junpei Iwase's request? She immediately poured a cup of coffee on Junpei Iwase's face and took the opportunity to escape.

From that time on, Junpei Iwase became obsessed with Kana Arima, often harassing her secretly.

Sometimes I would write some groundless or even false negative news about her, but later I found that no one read it and it was just taking up a lot of space, so I stopped writing it.

Regarding this, Arima Kana didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Later, perhaps because he found a new target or for some other reason, Junpei Iwase stopped harassing Kana Arima, and Kana Arima's life returned to normal.

But she never expected that the nightmare that had troubled her for several months would appear before her without any warning at this time.

This caught Arimakana off guard.

"You know, Kana-chan, when I first saw you actually got on the idol stage, I was very angry."

Junpei Iwase said with a grim look on his face.

"You would rather flirt and please those fat-headed nerds than please me so that you can return to the entertainment industry."

"Arima Ganai, I'm very disappointed in you."

"Idols are not what you say they are."

Arima Kane countered.

"Besides, my fans are much better than a filthy person like you who makes disgusting demands on minors!"

"That's not what you say, Kana-chan."

Iwase Junpei shook his head.

"I saw your potential and wanted to invest in your future, but you let me down. Do you know how sad I am?"

"I have sighed for you countless times after seeing you give up being an actor and put on those contrived poses and expressions to trick those stupid men into spending money on you."

"Hey, you obviously have good looks and acting skills, why do you want to degrade yourself by becoming an idol?"

"enough!"

Arimakana slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily.

"I forbid you to insult the idol industry again. If you have any grievances against me, you can just come straight to me!"

"Coming for you? Hahaha! Kana-chan, you're joking."

Junpei Iwase laughed.

"You are not worth my attention right now."

Arima Kana was so angry that she clenched her teeth and clenched her fists, but she didn't know how to refute.

Idols have always been of the lowest status and the most aggressive in the Japanese entertainment industry, and it is common for them to be looked down upon by people in the industry.

Before accepting Ruby Hoshino's invitation, Kana Arima hesitated for a long time.

She certainly doesn't have the energy to balance her two careers as an idol and an actress right now. Although she doesn't have to give up one, if she chooses one development direction, the other will inevitably stagnate.

Although her acting career is not very successful now, it is much better than the most difficult period. At least she still has work to do.

Being an idol can be said to be a thankless job.

But in the end, she was convinced by Ruby Hoshino, or rather, she was impressed by Ruby Hoshino's passion and dedication to the idol career.

Especially after Ryoma Ezaki's sudden disappearance, Ruby Hoshino's character also underwent some subtle changes.

But her desire to become an idol became even more persistent.

However, Arima Kana was not naive enough to agree to join them just because of Ruby Hoshino's wishful thinking.

What finally made Kana Arima make the decision was a career plan made by Ruby Hoshino and Kyoko Saito.

It records in detail how to develop and market after debut, what are the strengths of these members, and how to use these strengths to shape their personalities and attract fans.

Moreover, this plan is highly feasible and is not just wishful thinking.

This spirit of not being frivolous in dreams but doing practical things with feet on the ground is the key to impressing Arima Kana.

Over the years, she has planned countless times how to revive her acting career, but every time she has failed.

This planning ability is what Magana really wants.

Moreover, being an idol is an industry that relies on youth. In the end, Kana Arima will definitely return to her acting career.

By then, if she can use this planning ability, it will definitely be a great help in her return to the acting industry.

Of course, all of this was before she became an idol.

Although these ideas have not changed, her understanding of the idol industry is no longer as stereotyped and one-sided as before.

Just like how Junpei Iwase in front of him views idols.

But at the same time, Magana also deeply understood how difficult it is to change this prejudice that is as unshakable as a mountain.

I don’t have such a big prejudice against idols. It was only after I became an idol that I gradually understood the charm and true meaning of this industry.

For someone like Junpei Iwase, it is almost impossible to change his mind.

After all, it's impossible for such a disgusting uncle to become an idol and experience it firsthand, right?

Unless he meets a boss who "is not a devil after all" and sends him to Thailand.

So, in the face of Junpei Iwase's ridicule, Arima Kana was both angry and felt that he was pathetic.

It is because such narrow-minded people are prevalent in the industry that the idol industry is becoming increasingly difficult.

"But, Kana-chan, you still have a chance to turn back."

Junpei Iwase crossed his legs and tilted his head back, looking down at Kana Arima.

"If you come to me now and beg me, I can reluctantly help you return to the acting industry and introduce you to some well-known directors and producers."

"But if you are still the same as you were a few years ago, even if they introduce you to them, it is unlikely that you will be appreciated. So you have to let me see your growth and changes over the past few years."

"Otherwise, I can help you return to the acting industry, or I can make sure you never return."

As he spoke, Junpei Iwase narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone full of threats.

"Do you understand it?"

Arimakana looked so ugly that even the mask and sunglasses couldn't cover it.

The implication of Junpei Iwase's words was obvious. A few years ago, she rejected Junpei Iwase's unspoken rules and even poured a cup of coffee on him to humiliate him.

The so-called growth and change, isn't it just to see whether she will now accept his unspoken rules?

And I'm afraid it's not just him. The directors and producers that Junpei Iwase wants to introduce to her must be the same kind as him.

The so-called return to the acting industry may only be achieved if Maganai climbs into the beds of these people one by one.

Arimakana clenched her hand around the drink.

How she wished she could just casually pour a glass of water on Junpei Iwase's face, just like she did a few years ago.

But she was at a low point at that time. She had nothing and no worries.

But now, although her acting career has stagnated, her idol career is booming.

If Junpei Iwase starts to find ways to hinder her idol career and plot against her because of his impulsiveness, it will not only be her who will be hurt in the end, but also the hard work of the other two members of the group and Berry PRO who support them behind the scenes will all be wasted.

"Sir, could you please not disturb other guests?"

At this time, the little fan named Iida noticed something strange here, turned back and mustered up the courage to say to Junpei Iwase.

"Huh? Disturbing other guests?"

Junpei Iwase frowned and looked at Ida with an unhappy expression.

"Hey young man, don't talk nonsense. Don't you see that Kana-chan and I are old acquaintances? How did I disturb her?"

As he said this, he raised his chin towards Arima Kana.

"Hey! Am I disturbing you? Speak!"

"..."

Arima Kana gritted her teeth. She didn't dare to continue to provoke Junpei Iwase, but she couldn't say against her will that the other party didn't disturb her.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that Arima Kana chose to remain silent, Junpei Iwase sneered and continued to make trouble for Iida.

"Look, no one said anything, but you just assumed that I was disturbing others based on your own imagination. How do you do your onboarding training? Call your store manager!"

"this......"
