Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"I think this girl is at the end of her rope. She's lost so much money that she's lost her mind!"

"You don't have the money to sign a star, so you just want to debut on your own, right?"

Xiao Lai kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to agree with Yuriko Matsumoto.

Matsumoto Yuriko's beautiful eyes moved as she looked up and down at Xiao Lai, who had his head slightly lowered and his hands hanging in front of his hips.

"Xiao Lai..."

"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Lai responded timidly.

"Either you can be absolutely fair between me and Youcai, or you can stay out of it."

“Favoring either side is unfair to the other.”

"Do you understand?"

Considering that Xiao Lai has worked diligently for so many years and spent her best years in the care of Matsumoto's house, Matsumoto Yuriko has no intention of holding a grudge against her.

She knew Xiao Lai's character, and she might help You Cai keep the secret, but she would never dare to take the initiative to sell her information. After all, she was Xiao Lai's employer.

"It's okay to be a fan and send messages on Line, but it's not okay to be an undercover agent and pass on messages at any time..."

Putting the phone back into Xiao Lai's pocket, Yuriko Matsumoto gently patted her silent shoulder, turned and left the nanny room.

"Yes, ma'am..." Xiao Lai bowed towards Matsumoto Yuriko's back as if all his strength had been drained.

After beating up her babysitter, Yuriko Matsumoto's frown did not relax.

"Debut as an idol?"

"Ah--"

"Interesting, it seems this girl really tried her best."

The corners of Matsumoto Yuriko's mouth curled up beautifully, and she was ready to find Matsumoto Arina's secretary Uesugi Asami to understand the situation.

……

……

The next morning, Akasaka Matsumoto Entertainment Building.

Matsumoto Yuriko had just chatted with the undercover agent Uesugi Asami, when the spy she had personally planted next to her daughter, Uesugi Asami, came to the company early in the morning to tip off Matsumoto Arina.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

She knocked gently on the president's office door, but no one responded after waiting for a long time. Asami Uesugi was obviously used to it. She pushed open the office door with a bag of breakfast and walked to the lounge at the back.

"Boss, wake up."

A few seconds later, the sleepy voice of a young girl could be heard from through the door of the lounge.

"Come in, Asami."

"Click--" The door opened and Asami Uesugi walked in carrying a breakfast bag.

On the other side of the bed, a certain new "national girl idol" had her long chestnut hair disheveled and casually draped, and her pajamas were loose with several obvious wrinkles visible.

"Woo——"

Matsumoto Arina opened her sleepy eyes and yawned in an unpresentable manner.

"You're here, Asami. I'm just hungry."

She stood up in her slippers, took the breakfast bag from her agent Asami Uesugi, and sat down in front of the dressing table.

Matsumoto Arica didn't wash her face, brush her teeth, or do any facial care. She just tore open the packaging of a rice ball and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hmm, it tastes just average..."

In the middle of winter, while chewing a cold rice ball, Matsumoto Arina suddenly missed her babysitter Xiao Lai.

During this period, because Xiao Lai and her mother Matsumoto Yuriko went to Hokkaido, Matsumoto Arina has been living in the company's lounge.

If Xiao Lai is there, even if she wants to have a seafood dinner in the morning, the other party will not get tired of cooking for her on the spot.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President."

"I'll bring you oden tomorrow morning. It won't get cold easily. Or I can heat up the rice balls in the microwave now."

Asami Uesugi apologized softly and acted as a stylist, using a comb to help Arina Matsumoto comb her highlighted chestnut hair.

"Forget it, we can eat it even if it's cold."

After unscrewing the cap of the oolong tea bottle, Arina Matsumoto ate rice balls and drank oolong tea in small sips.

Although she is the president and a big star of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency, her quality of life is not necessarily better, and is even worse than when she was living in the private Seishi Women's University.

"Um, Mr. President..."

"There's something I want to tell you."

Holding Matsumoto Yuina's smooth chestnut hair with one hand and combing it carefully with the other hand, Uesugi Asami got straight to the point: "Last night, the old president sent me an email, asking me about the company's recent situation."

"Huh?!" Matsumoto Arina stopped chewing the rice ball and glanced at Uesugi Asami.

"Then what did you say?"

Seeing this, Asami Uesugi knew that the time to test her loyalty had finally come!

Recently, the junior Futaba Asada has been getting more and more outstanding. Although they are in different fields, one is the manager of the "TREE" group and the other is the secretary of the vice president, but their responsibilities overlap to some extent.

Where there are interests, there will be differences. Who would be willing to give up the power they have obtained? Asami Uesugi does not want to be outdone by a junior who has not even graduated from university!

"At first, I thought about doing it half-heartedly and trying not to reveal the real news of the company to the old president."

"But the old president should know that the president debuted as an idol and has been asking about this topic."

Uesugi Asami paused, then continued, "So I played along and told her that the president was risking everything and making a desperate attempt!"

"The president has spent all his money on publicity and marketing, creating the illusion that he is very famous."

"In fact, beneath the flourishing scene lies a decaying ruin. Matsumoto Office seemed to have won the battle with KB Office, but it actually used up all its financial resources and is now in a serious financial deficit!"

At this point, Asami Uesugi could clearly see Arina Matsumoto raise the corner of her mouth, as if she had heard something interesting.

"By the way, Mr. President..."

"I also told the old president that the office is in a mess now, and many managers and old employees have been fired. Everyone has suffered from the president for a long time, and they are looking forward to the old president coming back to take charge!"

"Puchi——" As soon as Asami Uesugi finished speaking, Arina Matsumoto could no longer hold back her laughter.

"Chuckles, chuckles..." She was like a noble white swan in the zoo that was frightened by the crowd, her whole body shaking with joy.

"Asami, you are still a liar!"

Crossing her legs gracefully, Arina Matsumoto covered her lips with her hands to save her image as a big star.

"Oh, to be in power again." A hint of mockery flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"I think she wants to sell it for a good price!"

"Fujii and I have worked so hard to turn the firm around, there is no way we can let her sit back and reap the benefits!"

"Besides..." The confidence on Matsumoto Arina's pretty face was almost overflowing.

"The company's management is either made up of people like me and Fujii, or people in the middle. How many of them are looking forward to her coming back?"

Matsumoto Arina had long followed Fujii Itsuki's advice, winning over a group, suppressing a group, driving away a group, and then training another group.

Now, Matsumoto Entertainment Agency has shaken off the shadow of bankruptcy and is now thriving. Next year, Matsumoto Arina and Fujii Itsuki have agreed to increase the salaries of each department in batches.

The Marketing and Publicity Department was the first to reap the benefits, and the work enthusiasm of other departments was greatly increased as a result.

"What the president said is right." Asami Uesugi agreed in a flattering manner.

I thought that her identity as a "criminal" would restrict her in the agency and she would not be valued, but I never expected that Matsumoto Yurina would let bygones be bygones and be more capable and courageous than her mother Matsumoto Yuriko, and directly let her take up a close position as a manager.

Of course, the person who is actually capable is Vice President Fujii Itsuki, and President Matsumoto is just taking advantage of him. Asami Uesugi is also well aware of this.

However, as the saying goes: It is better to marry well than to be born well.

Being able to have a boyfriend like President Fujii must be a sign of President Matsumoto's ability!

After unplugging the charging cable of her mobile phone, Matsumoto Arina opened the Line chat software. She could already imagine the wonderful expression on her mother Matsumoto Yuriko's face when she discovered the truth!

That is, I don’t know when her mother, who is on vacation in Hokkaido, will come back.

After finding "Xiao Lai" among her Line friends, Matsumoto Arina sent him a message.

[Are you awake, Xiao Lai? ]

……

Otaru, Hokkaido.

In the Matsumoto family's villa, Xiao Lai, who got up early to make breakfast, received a line message from Matsumoto Arina.

"Miss, you got up so early?"

After seeing the message in the chat box, Xiao Lai wiped his hands with his apron and replied in seconds.

Xiao Lai: [Yeah, I’m making breakfast for my wife. ]

Xiao Lai: [What is it, Miss? ]

Because he was scolded by his wife last night, Xiao Lai is now careful with his words and actions, and tries not to get involved in the dispute between Matsumoto's mother and daughter.

Matsumoto Arina: [Xiao Lai, New Year's Day is coming soon, why haven't you and your mother returned to Tokyo yet? ]

Xiao Lai: [I’m sorry, Miss.]

Xiao Lai: [We may not go back to Tokyo for the New Year this year. My wife is in Hokkaido discussing investment in a shopping mall. We can only go back after the New Year.]

After typing this line in the Line chat bar and clicking the send button, Xiao Lai's face froze for a moment before he suddenly realized what was happening.

“It’s over!”

"Isn't this considered as me being an undercover agent and giving the lady a tip-off?"

Matsumoto Arina: [Yes, I understand. ]

Matsumoto Arina: [It’s cold over there, keep warm, and remember to bring me some Hokkaido chocolate when you come back. ]

Seeing the young lady's caring words, Xiao Lai's flustered thoughts gradually calmed down, his heart warmed, and he replied with concern.

[Being a star is very tiring, ladies should also pay more attention to their health! ]

[Miss Bye, I will send you the chocolate this afternoon, along with some pickles and bacon that I made myself.]

……

[Okay, thank you for your help.]

Finally, she could eat the food cooked by Xiao Lai again. Matsumoto Arina licked the rice grains on her pink lips, and the dry seaweed rice balls suddenly became delicious.

As for her mother, Yuriko Matsumoto, who is never seen or heard of.

If she doesn't want to go back to Tokyo, then don't go back to Tokyo. She couldn't ask for more.

It just so happens that she can attend the Red and White Song Contest with Fujii Itsuki, so that Matsumoto Yuriko can see her and Fujii Itsuki's faces on TV on New Year's Eve!

“By the way…”

"That Fujii guy will go with me, right?"

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Arina stood up and walked towards the bathroom, preparing to go to Fujii Itsuki's office to flirt with him for a while after washing up.

……

……

Chapter 348 I'm usually on top

At eight o'clock in the morning, Fujii Itsuki arrived at the office almost on time.

I have to go to work on New Year’s Eve (December 12th). Just thinking about it makes me lose motivation.

I sat down in the boss chair behind the desk, but before I could even warm my butt, the office door was opened from the outside.

The person who walked into the office was not his personal secretary Futaba Asada, but a young girl with long chestnut hair, a bright temperament, and a pretty face.

Perhaps the biggest difference between big stars and ordinary people is their unique temperament. When they stand in the crowd, people will unconsciously pay attention to them.

However, this pure and elegant celebrity smiled ingratiatingly and called out in a very friendly way, "Gou Xiujinsa~"
