Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"It should be the first six hours, right?"

Unlike his peer and old acquaintance Fujii Itsuki, Asada Futaba was a little nervous when facing several ministers in their 40s and 50s who held high positions and powers. He said vaguely, "Dear ministers, the CD sales for the first six hours have indeed come out."

"We'll wait for President Fujii to announce the exact figures."

Seeing her hesitating and evasive, several ministers felt uneasy and could not help but start talking about it.

"Isn't it bad news?"

"Could it be that we can't even reach our target of 30,000 on the first day?"

"That's impossible. President Matsumoto has received a lot of attention on social media recently. It should be more than 30,000."

"So what? There are many examples of people who are famous but their songs are not."

"..."

Several directors were already prejudiced against the young vice president Fujii Itsuki who was parachuted in temporarily. Now they no longer believed that he had the ability to save the collapsing company and save Matsumoto Entertainment from the dire straits.

"Da da da."

Just as we were singing our praises, the crisp sound of leather shoes tapping on the ground suddenly came from outside the meeting room.

……

……

Thanks to the great masters "黑黑白逆倒v" and "跨岸江火" for their certification! or2

Thanks, big guy! I'll update you guys in two days!

It's vacation time. Did everyone go home or go out to play?

Chapter 329 Unexpected Handsomeness

"Da da da."

The footsteps were steady and powerful, getting closer and closer.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man wearing a black suit, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome appearance, who looked like a debut artist, walking into the conference room.

The noise in the meeting room suddenly stopped. All the directors in their forties and fifties stood up and shouted to the boy in unison: "...President Fujii!"

"Sit down." Fujii Itsuki's expression showed no sign of sadness or joy. He uttered a word lightly and moved to the main seat in the conference room.

"I'm sorry, but I have to call everyone over for a meeting on Christmas Day."

"President Fujii..."

"Have the CD sales figures for the first six hours come out?" Director Pinggang of the Marketing and Publicity Department asked impatiently. He had dealt with Fujii Itsuki the most during this period and had invested the most effort in the agency.

Although he hoped that Arina Matsumoto's single CD would sell well more than any other minister, he was actually a little unsure.

There is no other reason. With the example of Matsumoto Yuina who turned 200 million into 80 million, who knows whether this young man Fujii Itsuki will be able to push the old man out from behind and directly bring down the declining firm?

"Yes, Mr. President."

“Hasn’t the sales volume reached 30,000 yet?”

"At this time, the KB agency next door should have 30,000."

"If we lose this time, not only will we lose face in the entertainment industry, but even our agency might..."

Everyone started to agree, most of them were pessimistic, while a few were afraid that Fujii Itsuki was too young and had a low ability to learn, so they had to comfort him.

"Mr. President, the most important thing about a debut single is to create fame. If it can make back the investment, that's good enough."

"The president is still young. He can definitely learn from his experience and start over."

When these words were spoken, several ministers could not help but secretly criticize.

"Yes, after the firm closed down, you, President Fujii, can start over at a young age."

“But what about us old guys?”

In response, Fujii Itsuki just nodded with a smile on his face.

"Erye..." He turned his head and looked at the short-haired girl standing next to him.

"Give them the document, let them circulate it and look at it for themselves."

"Okay, Mr. President."

Due to time constraints, Futaba Asada had not had time to print in batches, so she handed the folder in her hand to Director Hiraoka of the Marketing and Publicity Department.

After taking the document from the president's secretary, Minister Pinggang adjusted his glasses and looked at it carefully.

"Total sales in the first six hours is..."

“Eighty thousand?!”

His two rough hands trembled and his whole body froze in an instant.

"Pinggang, speak up!"

"What are the sales volumes?" The Minister of Finance, who was closest to Minister Pinggang, stretched his neck to look over.

"Eight...eighty thousand!" Her pupils shrank and she couldn't help but screamed in surprise.

"Is it true? Let me see."

Several managers who have been in the industry for many years and are in charge of a department in the firm took the folders one after another, but they often just glanced at them before being snatched away by the people next to them.

Some people questioned, some were excited, and some were silent. The only thing in common was that they no longer looked at Fujii Itsuki with that hint of contempt due to their seniority.

80,000 sales in six hours, bound to exceed 100,000 in a single day!

Since the establishment of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency, has there been an artist who achieved first-day sales of 100,000?

The answer is no!

Even when Matsumoto Arina's father was alive, she never achieved that!

"Snapped--"

There was a faint sound of a slap in the air, clear and loud, going straight into everyone's heart.

These old guys who have been working in the firm for more than ten years were questioning other people’s abilities one second, and then were slapped in the face the next!

Adjusting his sitting posture and crossing his legs comfortably, Fujii Itsuki slowly glanced at the ministers present.

Obviously, the young man sitting on the main seat was a few years younger than their children, he was low-key and his temperament was extremely gentle, but no one dared to meet Fujii Itsuki's gaze.

"Minister Hiraoka, your marketing and publicity department played an indispensable role in the release of President Matsumoto's CD." He stopped his gaze on a middle-aged man with a flat head.

"Don't worry, the extra 20% year-end bonus I promised you will not be reduced by a single yen."

"Thank you, President Fujii!" Minister Hiraoka hurriedly nodded and thanked him. As for Deputy Minister Haradasuke beside him, he was sweating profusely and lowered his head even more.

“The boat has already sailed through thousands of mountains. The future revival of Matsumoto Office cannot be achieved without the help of everyone present here.”

With a subtle glance at Haradasuke, the deputy director of the marketing and publicity department, Fujii Itsuki supported himself on the conference table with both hands and stood up from the main seat.

"After the New Year in January, President Matsumoto and I will consider raising salaries for each department in batches."

He once again made a big promise, the implication being: compete with all your might, and whoever performs better will get a raise first!

As for the lagging minister, he and Matsumoto Arina will not interfere, but don't blame him for being scolded by his subordinates!

"This concludes today's meeting."

"Merry Christmas, everyone."

"Merry Christmas!" After leaving these words, Fujii Itsuki walked out with big strides, still smiling.

"Da da da."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and everyone looked at the young man's handsome and upright back with different expressions.

Admiration, guilty conscience, disapproval...

But they all knew one thing: from today on, Matsumoto Entertainment Agency would completely be the world of young people like Fujii Itsuki!

"This guy……"

In the conference room, Asada Futaba's heart was pounding like a deer, and he stared at Fujii Itsuki's departing back.

"Unexpectedly handsome!"

"No wonder my sister looks so adoring when she mentions him..."

……

"Click——"

I opened the door and returned to the vice president's office on the 12th floor. Over on the sofa, the girl in the lilac dress had not left yet.

"…Are you done with the meeting?" Taking her eyes off the fan messages on the phone screen, Matsumoto Arina looked up at the boy who walked into the office.

"Well, I informed them of the CD sales."

"Usually, one or two of them were pessimistic about this or that, but now they are all like mutes." Fujii Itsuki said with a smile on his face.

"That's good!" As if she had imagined the shocked and silent scene of everyone in the conference room, a smile appeared on Matsumoto Arina's pretty face.

“We should have filmed it and played it on loop at work!”

"Or do you have any ideas..."

The two highest-ranking presidents of Matsumoto Entertainment looked at each other in tacit understanding, like children playing a prank together in kindergarten.

"It's getting late. There's food. I need to get off work."

Fujii Itsuki took out his cell phone and glanced at the time. Before he knew it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

I don’t know if Saki has gone to Fujii’s house. If not, I can drive over to pick her up.

……

……

Chapter 330 Please, Mom (Thanks to the "Red Paper Crane" master for his certification!)

"…What shift do you want to get off at this time?"

Hearing that Fujii Itsuki was leaving, Matsumoto Arina subconsciously stood up from the sofa.

"Aren't you going to join me for the celebration party?"

"It's too early." Fujii Itsuki shook his head and said calmly, "It's only been seven hours since the release. Why are you holding a celebration party?"

"It's not advisable to open champagne midway. Let's wait until tomorrow when the Oricon rankings and KB's daily sales are released."

“…Excuses!” Having been the president of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency for such a long time, Miss Matsumoto is not as easy to fool as before.

Her eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight into Fujii Itsuki's eyes.

"Actually, you want to go back early and spend Christmas with others!"

"What else, Ms. Matsumoto Arina?" Fujii Itsuki put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers and did not avoid her gaze.

"I have been with you since seven this morning, for a total of more than eight hours."

"You already occupy one-third of my life..."

"One-third of your life?"

There was no skill in this sentence, it was full of emotion, and it went straight into Matsumoto Yuina's heart like a falling meteor, making this rich lady and president of the office so happy that she didn't know what to do.

There are only 24 hours in a day, 8 hours for sleeping, 8 hours for accompanying her, and the remaining 8 hours belong to Fujii Itsuki's private time. By this calculation, I really occupy one-third of his life.

Although Matsumoto Arina also wanted Fujii Itsuki to be with her when she was sleeping, working, and having free time, she knew that this was not realistic for the time being.

Because there is a big mountain named "Qiyomizu Rin" standing between them.

but……

Everything depends on human effort. All viewers across Japan who have watched "What's Wrong with Being a Little Scheming" know that Arina Matsumoto was stolen away by her classmate.

However, now the positions are reversed, the offense and defense have changed, and it is her turn, Matsumoto Aruna, to pry open the corner of Shimizu Rin!

"That sounds nice..." Matsumoto Arina rolled her eyes.

"These eight hours are clearly working time."
