Jingtian was frightened and at a loss for a moment, and the courage he had just mustered up was instantly gone.

"That's enough! Iwase, this matter between you and me has nothing to do with him, so don't make things more complicated."

"It doesn't matter?"

Junpei Iwase smiled when he heard this.

"Did you hear that? She said that what happened between us has nothing to do with you and asked you to stop interfering. Your idol said that herself."

Iida's face turned pale and blue. He knew that Junpei Iwase was misinterpreting Arima Kana's meaning to slander him, but he didn't have the courage to refute.

"I told you it has nothing to do with you, why don't you just get out of here?"

Iwase Junpei was annoyed that Maida was still standing there, obstructing the viewer.

"Or is it not enough for your idol to speak personally, and you must ask me to talk to your store manager about your slander of me for disturbing others just now?"

Iida stiffened his neck, finally regained some courage, and retorted.

"I think this customer is being harassed by you. No matter if you talk to the store manager or anyone else, it won't change my opinion. Please leave!"

When Junpei Iwase heard this, his expression instantly turned cold.

He reached into his bosom, pulled out a pen and a small notebook, and began writing something while mumbling to himself.

"Well, I was worried that there was nothing good to write about in the life section this week, but I didn't expect that it would be delivered to my door now."

When he was taking out his notebook, he "accidentally" dropped a few business cards on the ground.

"Hey! What are you standing there for? Pick it up!"

Seeing that Ida was still standing there in a daze, Junpei Iwase said with an unhappy look on his face.

Iida quickly bent down to pick up the business card, and his face changed immediately when he saw the name of the magazine on it.

"'Shocking! The waiter accused the guest of harassing others and refused to leave the table. Who was harassing whom? Why did he confuse right and wrong?' What do you think of this article title?"

At this time, Junpei Iwase also spoke, his tone full of sarcasm and threats.

Now, Jingtian was completely panicked.

If the store publishes negative news about him in this magazine, it will not be a problem that can be solved by firing him!

"Hey! Why are you stunned again? Can't you even do something as simple as picking up something that a customer dropped?"

Seeing that Ida was standing there in shock, Junpei Iwase took the opportunity to continue humiliating him.

"It seems that the store manager's eyesight is not very good to hire a loser like you."

Jingtian lost his temper and quickly bent down to continue picking up the business cards.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and picked up the last business card on the ground.

Iida looked up in the direction of the hand and saw that the person who picked up the business card was the boy who came with Arima Kana to buy medicine for her.

Ryoma Esaki looked at the name on the business card, then looked at Junpei Iwase, and suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Iwase Junpei, huh? Nice to meet you."

He handed the business card to Iida, and Iida returned all the business cards he picked up to Junpei Iwase.

But Junpei Iwase didn't take it. He kept looking at Ryoma Ezaki and said with disdain.

"So you're into this, Kana-chan. That's right, this guy does have a face that's convenient for deceiving little girls."

As he said this, Junpei Iwase glanced at Kana Arima.

"But giving up being an actor for this kind of gigolo is not a wise choice."

He raised his hand and began writing in his little notebook again.

"'A popular idol secretly met with a handsome stranger, betraying her fans in the name of idolism. Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?' Well, this is another news that will cause heated discussion."

Arimagana's expression became even uglier.

"If possible, I really don't want to publish this news. After all, idol gossip will make my magazine lose value."

As he spoke, Junpei Iwase raised his eyes to look at Kana Arima, his words full of hints.

"If Kana-chan is willing to be an actor again, this kind of news will be invalid. After all, there is no rule that actors can't fall in love, right?"

Arima Kana understood that Junpei Iwase certainly didn't mean for her to give up being an idol and become an actor again, but that she wanted to return to the acting industry through his introduction and marketing.

How could she agree?

But if she doesn't agree, the scandal between her and Ryoshin Ezaki will definitely be published in the magazine.

At that time, B Komachi and others will be hit hard by public opinion.

Public opinion does not believe in the saying that a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Although this kind of news will not cause a fatal blow to Kana Arima, it will still require Mei Pro to spend a lot of effort on public relations to clarify the matter.

More importantly, B Komachi is now in a period of rapid growth. If it encounters such a severe blow at this time, it may never be able to make a comeback.

What makes Arima Kana even more worried is that Junpei Iwase might continue to haunt her like he did a few years ago.

Idols are the entertainment industry most easily destroyed by public opinion, and for media professionals like Junpei Iwase who are good at manipulating public opinion, they are naturally the easiest targets to deal with.

The current Arimagana is no longer as fearless as he was a few years ago.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The faces of Hoshino Ruby, MEM啾, Saito Kyoko, and other people who helped her on her way to becoming an idol flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.

——I’m sorry everyone, I have to trouble you again.

Arima Kana thought to herself.

When she opened her eyes again, her look had become extremely firm.

"Don't be so delusional. I will never give up being an idol!"

She said to Junpei Iwase, with anger that was difficult to conceal in her voice.

"Even if I want to return to the acting industry, I don't need the help of someone like you!"

Chapter 72 Isn’t it the passive nature of all scumbags to be able to say anything with affection?

Junpei Iwase was stunned for a moment, and then his face became extremely gloomy.

"Really? That's a shame."

As he spoke, he stood up and uttered a final harsh remark.

"Then let's wait and see!"

After saying that, Junpei Iwase turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Ryoma Ezaki suddenly sat outside him, blocking his way.

"Well, don't worry!"

Ryoma Esaki held Junpei Iwase's shoulders and pushed him back to his seat.

"I have finished talking about your matter. I still have some questions to ask you."

Junpei Iwase frowned and looked at Ryoma Ezaki suspiciously.

"You are? I have nothing to talk about with you."

As he said that, he shook off Ryoma Ezaki's hand and was about to leave.

"Ah~, you're bothering me like this!"

Ryoma Ezaki nodded his forehead with an embarrassed look on his face.

"After all, you are showing off your power as the editor-in-chief and threatening my friends, but when I checked your magazine's official website..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed the phone screen to Junpei Iwase.

"This editor-in-chief's name... doesn't seem to match the one on your business card."

"Can you please explain this, Mr. Junpei Iwase?"

The reason why Ryoma Ezaki didn't stand up to support Kana Arima immediately after he came back was that he was observing in secret.

After seeing Junpei Iwase's business card, he searched for the magazine on the Internet, hoping to gather some information.

But he didn't expect that just a casual search would lead him to discover a huge flaw in the other party. The name marked as the editor-in-chief on the official website was not Junpei Iwase at all!

This person had clearly resigned, but he still used his title as editor-in-chief to threaten Maganai and the waiter.

How could Ryoma Ezaki let him go so easily?

Unexpectedly, when Junpei Iwase glanced at the screen, there was no panic on his face, but he laughed out loud.

“Hehe…hahahaha!”

His laughter became louder and louder, and his face was full of sarcasm.

"Boy, you don't think you have caught me?"

"Yes, I have indeed resigned from this magazine, but that is because I have seen through that this magazine has no development prospects and is destined to be a second-rate magazine for the rest of its life."

"So, I resigned and started a new magazine."

Junpei Iwase raised his head and looked at people with his nose up, and the word "arrogant" was almost written on his face.

"Although I am no longer the editor-in-chief, the connections I made in the past are still there."

"In the entertainment industry, connections are everything!"

"I've been running around for two months promoting my new magazine, and now everything is ready."

"So my magazine will be endorsed by countless industry leaders, and the publicity effect will be incomparable to that second-rate magazine in the past."

"In a month, the first issue of my magazine will be released. I will make room for Arima Kana and this store."

There was a hint of ferocity in Junpei Iwase's eyes.

"At that time, you are also welcome to order and read, and comment on the quality of the news I personally wrote for you."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and sighed.

"Ah~, I didn't plan to tell you. I wanted to wait until you saw the next issue of the magazine and found that there was no report about you in it and breathed a sigh of relief. Then I would slap you in the face after my new magazine goes on sale."

"Kana-chan's expression will surely be very interesting by then, but it's a pity that we can't see it now."

As he said this, he tilted his head and looked at Ryoma Esaki.

"This is all your fault."

Junpei Iwase stretched out his finger and poked Ryoma Ezaki's chest.

"Kid, don't think I can't deal with you just because you're not from the entertainment industry. Look at the blind waiter next to you. I have plenty of ways to deal with people like you."

"If you understand, then stop trying to be a hero and get out of my way!"

Upon hearing this, Ryoma Ezaki simply shrugged his shoulders and then obediently moved away.

Junpei Iwase was stunned for a moment. He thought Ryoma Ezaki would be as stubborn as the waiter and would not cry until he saw the coffin. He didn't expect him to be so considerate.

"Hmph! You know what's going on!"

Junpei Iwase snorted coldly, then squeezed out through the gap created by Ryoma Ezaki.

He shook his collar and patted his clothes. Finally, he turned around and gave everyone a cold look before leaving the restaurant.

"......I'm sorry, Ezaki-kun, you helped me today, but I ended up getting you into trouble......"

Arima Kane said apologetically.

However, Ryoma Ezaki looked displeased when he heard this.

"Ms. Kana, you don't have anything to apologize for, right?"

"Eh?"

Arima Gana was stunned for a moment.

"Ms. Kana, have you done anything bad? Isn't it that disgusting old man who is threatening you?"

Ryoma Esaki crossed his arms and spoke in an aggressive tone.

"Oh, I see. Miss Kana, you weren't scared by that old man, were you?"

"Huh?" Arima Kana's eyebrows were raised in anger, "Scared? Me? By that bastard? You must be kidding!"
