Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"Hey, you're here so early?"

Matsumoto Arina glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the phone screen in surprise.

It was just after 10 in the morning, and they had agreed to meet at noon.

Beauty Xiaocai: [Wait a moment, I'll ask my agent to pick you up! ]

Matsumoto Arina replied to Fujii Itsuki's message almost instantly, and then quickly found Uesugi Asami in the Line friend list.

President: [Asami, please help me pick up someone in the lobby on the first floor. ]

President: [The one named Fujii Itsuki, who looks young and handsome.]

After receiving the message, Asami Uesugi, who was working in the agency department, quickly sent two replies to Arina Matsumoto.

Asami Uesugi: [Okay, President]

Uesugi Asami: [I'll be there right now.]

……

Akasaka, Minato-ku.

Minato Ward is one of the most prosperous areas in Tokyo's 23 wards. This is the first time Fujii Itsuki has come here.

I looked up at the twelve-story Akasaka Matsumoto Entertainment Building. In the wealthy area full of high-rise buildings, this building is not eye-catching, but it is magnificent enough.

"call--"

He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of white air on the cold winter morning. He stuffed his hands into his coat pockets to keep warm and walked into the first floor lobby of Matsumoto Entertainment Building.

After registering his name with the receptionist, Fujii Itsuki took a few glances inside the hall. After all, he would be the vice president in a few days, so it was important for him to get to know the environment of the office in advance to avoid the embarrassment of getting lost.

The Matsumoto Group is indeed a real estate tycoon in the past. Even though some of its properties are being sold off or withering away, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

There are countless entertainment agencies in Tokyo that are crowded in cramped and small office buildings, but Matsumoto Agency has its own entertainment building.

"Da da da."

A few minutes after sending the message to Matsumoto Arina, a young woman wearing an OL uniform, rimless glasses, and dressed very capablely came straight towards him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Fujii?"

Looking at the handsome young man wearing a brown jacket, standing upright at the front desk, Asami Uesugi's eyes lit up instantly.

"As the president said, he's just as handsome as he said..."

"Is he the new artist signed by the president?"

"Yes, it's me." Fujii Itsuki smiled gently and politely extended his right hand to Uesugi Asami.

"You are Ms. Arina's agent, right?"

"Well, my name is Uesugi Asami." Uesugi Asami carefully held Fujii Itsuki's hands with both hands. She was even more respectful than when she was facing the president Matsumoto Yuina.

You know, MAT (Matsumoto) Agency is a large entertainment agency, and there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. But Asami Uesugi has never met a handsome man with outstanding temperament and unique appearance like Fujii Itsuki.

"And you're so young..."

"I think he's a year younger than the president."

"Could it be the president's boyfriend?"

Taking her hand back, Uesugi Asami, full of doubts, said to Fujii Itsuki respectfully, "Mr. Fujii, please follow me."

"The president is waiting for you in the office."

As she spoke, Asami Uesugi made an invitation gesture and led Fujii Itsuki across the spacious lobby and into the elevator of the Matsumoto Building.

"Ding--"

The elevator stopped and started, with people entering and exiting, and finally it stopped steadily on the twelfth floor.

"Mr. Fujii, this way..."

The elevator door opened and Asami Uesugi walked in front, leading Fujii Itsuki all the way to a room with a sign that read "President's Office".

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Mr. President, Mr. Fujii is here."

Asami Uesugi knocked gently on the office door and just as she finished speaking, she heard a clear, pleasant, but majestic female voice coming from inside.

"Come in."

"Click——"

The office door opened, and Matsumoto Arina's beautiful eyes lit up when she saw the boy behind her agent Asami Uesugi. But she immediately returned to her serious attitude and said to Asami Uesugi with a stern face, "Asami, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Go to the convenience store downstairs and buy me a rice ball and a bottle of green tea."

"Okay, President." Uesugi Asami nodded in response. After secretly glancing at Matsumoto Yuina and Fujii Itsuki, she turned and left the president's office.

Although she is curious about the relationship between the two, Asami Uesugi, as a cheap "agent", has no authority to interfere in the love life of artist Arina Matsumoto.

"Click——"

When Asami Uesugi closed the door, Arina Matsumoto's serious expression disappeared, and she quickly stood up from the boss chair and complained to Fujii Itsuki: "...I have been waiting since this morning, and finally you are here."

Hearing this, Fujii Itsuki replied calmly: "It seems that I arrived an hour earlier than the agreed time."

"Stop talking!"

Matsumoto Arina glanced at him and stretched out her slender hand in front of Fujii Itsuki like a child asking for candy on Halloween.

"Fujii, where's my debut single?"

"What are you in such a hurry for..."

There was no solemn ceremony or complicated steps. Fujii Itsuki took out an A4 paper with Matsumoto Arina's debut song printed on it from his arms and simply handed it to her.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Matsumoto Arina's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't wait to take the A4 paper and look at it. It was the song's simple musical score and lyrics.

There is also a string of eye-catching English letters printed in the middle of the title - LOSER!

"Loser?!"

This English word was like a depth charge, or perhaps it was an allergic reaction, causing Matsumoto Arina's pretty face to turn red at a visible speed.

Her anger quickly rose, even her neck turned red. She didn't have time to take a closer look, and couldn't help but yelled at Fujii Itsuki: "Fujii Itsuki, are you kidding me?"

Was this all a scam against her from the beginning?

Fujii Itsuki doesn't want any shares in the company at all. Is she deceiving herself?

You put yourself into this, but all you get in return is humiliation?

The three questions that went straight to the soul overwhelmed her rationality. All kinds of grievances surged into her heart, and tears seemed to be uncontrollable and instantly flowed out of Matsumoto Yuina's eyes.

Fujii Itsuki had obviously anticipated this situation, and his calm expression did not change at all.

"Why are you crying? Didn't you insist that I get it tailor-made?"

"Fujii Itsuki, you bastard!" Matsumoto Arina said in a hoarse voice, feeling half aggrieved and half disappointed.

"Matsumoto Yurina, I came all the way here and you won't even sing once?"

"Who are you calling a loser? Even if you kill me, I won't..."

"Clap clap."

Before Matsumoto Arina finished her words, she saw Fujii Itsuki clapping his hands in front of her and humming a few lines softly.

"As always, day after day~"

"This kind of day is unbearable~"

"There's nowhere to escape~"

"..."

In the spacious president's office, the boy's rhythmic voice, one sentence after another, gradually covered up the girl's sobbing voice.

"……wrong!"

"Why does this rhythm sound so catchy?"

As a former piano genius, Matsumoto Arina's appreciation of music is definitely average. She stopped crying immediately and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her slender hands.

"And the lyrics are not humiliating, but rather reveal a sense of uninhibitedness and freedom."

The more she listened, the more the song seemed to reach her soul, making Matsumoto Arina's originally dull eyes slowly become bright and shining.

"This song seems..."

“I’m a little high!!”

Chapter 295 Bad idea

The beautiful song was only halfway through when Matsumoto Arina impatiently hugged Fujii Itsuki's arm, tears welling up in her eyes as she asked him hopefully, "Is this...is this song really for me?"

Which singer in Japan doesn't dream of having a hit song and making a living from it for the rest of his life?

Although being a singer is just a side job for Arina Matsumoto, she knows clearly that if she can sing this song "LOSER" well, not only can she generate a steady stream of income for the Matsumoto Agency, but it is also possible for her to reach the peak as soon as she debuts and become a top star of the new generation!

"…Who said it was for you?"

Like a scumbag who turned his back on people, Fujii Itsuki snatched the A4 paper from Matsumoto Arina's arms.

"You would rather die than sing, wouldn't you?"

"Aren't you having fun calling me a bastard?"

His voice became louder and louder, completely drowning out the three soul-searching questions in Matsumoto Arina's heart.

"Uh, sorry!"

You must admit when you make a mistake, and you must stand upright when you are beaten.

"Xiao Cai's tone just now was a bit harsh!"

Matsumoto Arina, who was crying and feeling aggrieved just now, had tears still on her face. As if she was afraid that Fujii Itsuki would run away, she hugged his arm tightly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his shoulder.

"Loser is loser, I just sing!"

She raised her delicate and beautiful face. She did not look like the president of a large firm, but rather like a little maid who made a mistake and was given a lecture by Fujii Itsuki.

"50% of the shares, right? Sign, sign now!"

If we say that before, from the perspective of the president of Matsumoto Office, Matsumoto Arina still had a little doubt about Fujii Itsuki's ability.

Now, when the musical notation and lyrics were clearly placed in front of her, and when she heard a few lines of the cappella from Fujii Itsuki's mouth, her beautiful eyes were filled with light, and only the boy's handsome face remained.

At the same time, a feeling I had never experienced before gradually spread in my heart.

Is it due to the talented piano girl’s admiration for music?

Is it to support the firm alone and rely on him for advice?

Or is it the most primitive, purest love of a young girl in puberty?

All kinds of complicated feelings intertwined together, and Matsumoto Yuina herself couldn't explain it clearly, but she just hugged Fujii Itsuki's arm a little tighter.

She didn't feel like she was hugging a cash cow. Her affluent life since childhood made her not so interested in money. She felt that she was hugging a warm and reliable person who could provide her with a harbor and help her sail further.

“That’s right…”

"I am indeed a loser who lacks love and recognition!"

"But now that you've discovered me..."

Her slender hand climbed up Fujii Itsuki's palm and secretly grasped the A4 paper with the song recorded on it, as if she was grasping a contract that bound the two of them.

Whether it is for Matsumoto Office or for herself.

"Don't even think about running away!"

With her slender hands, Arina Matsumoto pulled out the A4 paper smoothly.

“…I got it!”

President Matsumoto, who had been serious before, cheered and held up the song sheet, as happy as a kindergarten kid.

Fujii Itsuki ignored her and swaggered into the boss chair behind Matsumoto Arina's desk.

The song was originally given to her, and Fujii Itsuki had no intention of working hard to debut as an artist.
