"How can I help you?"
...
Back to the present.
"Little Flower Sauce, why are you here?"
Upon seeing his employees in the restaurant, Koenji completely lost his mind.
"You are all liars!"
For some reason, Xiaohua's tone revealed strong anger and dissatisfaction, as if what angered her was not only the Strawberry Agency's illegal operation, but also some other things.
"You all know how hard I worked during those three months of training, so why are you still saying this!"
"No, you've misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding? I heard everything you just said. I will never believe you bunch of liars again!"
Meeting Koenji's surprised gaze, Kohana strode forward, grabbed the milk from the table, and frantically splashed it at his face.
"You bastard, what are you doing!"
Although he had already reached out to block, Koenji was a step too late, and an unknown white liquid was flowing down his fair face.
They brought it on themselves.
Hikigaya watched all this coldly from the side. If Koenji had been more observant, or if the other party had maintained the most basic respect for employees, none of this would have happened.
But once things really break down, the working class will absolutely not stop after venting their anger.
A few seconds later, Koenji's short-circuited brain finally recovered, and he stood up abruptly, intending to question his employees.
This action further enraged Xiaohua. The seemingly quiet girl suddenly went berserk, shoving Gaoyuanji onto a stool and then taking out a stamped contract from her shoulder bag.
"Wait, that's it!"
"hiss!"
Koenji initially tried to stop it, but the next second, the contract was torn to shreds, then crumpled into a ball and hurled at him.
Because there was still milk left, the contract mixed with the liquid and stuck to Koenji's face in a very comical way.
This should have been a scene that made everyone burst into laughter, but Hachiman showed no sign of amusement. Then he saw the little flower-headed girl who had done all this give him a pained look before leaving the restaurant without looking back.
That guy must be resenting me. If it weren't for his threats, Xiaohua wouldn't have needed to be here, nor would she have had to go through such an embarrassing situation.
Hikigaya did not look away, but conveyed his apology to the other party.
however.
To his surprise, Xiaohua showed a relieved smile on her face again.
"Goodbye."
After saying that, the other person left the restaurant.
It's human nature to watch a spectacle, and the surrounding diners were all stunned by the scene, while Ijichi Hoshika, who was standing close to a few people, was completely absorbed in watching it.
"What on earth happened!?"
Hongxia, who knew a little about the situation, was also greatly shocked.
"Hachiman, you are truly amazing."
"Wait a minute, you're saying Hachiman is behind all this?"
Hearing her younger sister's murmurs, Ijichi Hoshika immediately turned her attention back to her.
139 The main character finally arrived.
Hongxia seemed to have let something slip, but even so, Ijichi Seika still found it hard to connect the series of events before her with a nine-year-old elementary school student.
In her opinion, whether it was his inner thoughts or his attitude towards doing things, Hachiman was indeed very different from ordinary children.
But that's all. After all, it's unbelievable, even outrageous, that a little kid could outsmart so many adults.
But if it wasn't Hachiman, then who was the mastermind behind all of this?
What is the other party's motive?
While Ichika was lost in thought, Nijika seemed to realize something and frantically shook her head, trying to deny what she had just said:
"Ah, no, this has nothing to do with Hachiman-kun! Absolutely not!"
"Hehe, of course I know."
Leaving aside the question of who started it all, Ijichi Hoshika shifted her gaze and continued looking at the scene of the incident.
Feeling utterly humiliated by the series of blows, Koenji quickly calmed down, but with other guests present, he used a tissue from the table to wipe his disheveled face.
"That person was an employee of our company. She has violated our company rules, and we will deal with her seriously when we get back. Don't listen to her nonsense."
Perhaps clinging to a sliver of hope, Koenji decided to sit down and continue discussing the contract with Ichinose Honami.
But just as one problem was resolved, another arose. Just as Koenji's bottom touched the chair, a bearded man wearing dark sunglasses suddenly leaned against the glass window, staring intently in their direction. Judging from his lip movements, it seemed he was saying: "Found you."
It’s finally here…
Hachiman withdrew his gaze; by now, all the actors on stage were ready.
He subtly moved his position outwards, trying to avoid being affected by the events that were about to unfold.
On the other side, Koenji was still unaware of the impending danger. He had regained his composure and was explaining to Ichinose Honami in rapid succession that everything that had just happened was Hana's own doing, and that their agency had done nothing wrong.
Ichinose Honami made no comment on Koenji's decisive action of cutting off Kohana, but simply nodded and listened to the other party's statement.
Damn it, I've messed everything up.
Honami Ichinose's reaction was obvious; she probably knew that there was no chance of salvaging the deal. Koenji sighed inwardly and prepared to make a final effort.
Meanwhile, the bearded man had already entered the restaurant. He walked faster and faster, and a moment later he rushed directly in front of the group.
"Ichinose-san, we hope you can believe us... Wait, who are you?"
"It's you idiot who's been using our company's name to scam people!" The bearded man pointed directly at Koenji's nose and started cursing. "Heh, you dare to ask who I am? You bastard, look at me and tell me who the real president of Ichigo PRO is!"
"Wait a minute, what are you saying? I don't understand at all!"
The unexpected situation startled Koenji.
The next moment, with a loud bang, the bearded man angrily grabbed Koenji by the collar and roughly shoved him against the back of the chair.
"If someone hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known to this day that there was a fake company operating right next to us!"
Upon hearing this, Koenji instantly realized that he had been caught by the person in charge.
"No, you misunderstand, we have no intention of using the Berry PRO name..."
"You're really stubborn. I wonder if you'll still be this stubborn after you take this punch!"
The bearded man didn't waste any words with Koenji. He raised his fist high, but unfortunately, he was stopped by a young woman who rushed up from behind him the moment he swung it down.
"Kyoko, what are you doing? Why won't you let me teach this bastard a lesson!"
"President, please stop! This is a public place. If this is seen, our company's reputation and public image will be affected!"
Upon hearing these words, the bearded man was taken aback, and then immediately released Koenji.
"cut!"
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Having been confronted by the legitimate company, Feilong, even the thick-skinned Gaoyuanji dared not stay any longer and quickly packed his bags to make a run for it.
But having offended some of the most popular agencies right now, how could they possibly just run away so easily?
Hikigaya rested his chin on his hand, expressionless, enjoying the moment of punishment before him.
"Want to leave? Are you kidding me?"
The bearded man took out his phone, made a call, and then said with an unfriendly expression:
“Stay here quietly, or I’ll sue your company until it goes bankrupt, and you’ll be burdened with debt for the rest of your life.”
"Could you please spare me?"
Koenji looked miserable and was quite depressed.
Aside from the company's location, their activities have always been elsewhere, and they haven't been discovered for years. Now, which bastard leaked this to Berry Pro?
"You should talk to our company's lawyer about this!"
Having resolved the matter with Koenji, Ichigo Saito, the president of Ichigo PRO, turned his attention to the "sibling" duo sitting upright in the booth.
"Hey, were you the ones who called me earlier?"
He asked in a friendly tone as much as possible, but perhaps because he was confused by the fake company incident, his voice still sounded somewhat aggressive.
Faced with this question, Hikigaya simply pretended not to know, while Ichinose Honami was genuinely completely caught off guard.
"Hey, what call?"
"do not know."
"...What, not you guys?"
Saito Ichigo narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the brother and sister.
There was absolutely no sign of lying on that girl's face... well, the other kid was a bit suspicious, but at that age, he might just be scared out of his wits.
What? So you were just a regular victim?
"Ugh, really, why does our firm keep running into such bad luck!"
The middle-aged man named Saito Ichigo scratched his head in frustration, muttering to himself, while a beautiful woman named Kyoko comforted him.
Great, it looks like they've successfully gotten away with it...
Hikigaya stared at the man in front of him without showing any emotion. Before going home yesterday, he used the last coin he had to call the real Ichigo Production and told them that a company was using their name to commit fraud.
140 Xingge: Is my expression strange?
Counterfeit products are already the bare minimum a company can tolerate, but to directly impersonate someone else and swindle people everywhere is tantamount to rubbing their face in the ground, and such behavior is absolutely unacceptable to the firm.
Therefore, Hachiman's report was dealt with quickly.
What he didn't expect was that instead of sending an ordinary staff member, the company president himself came to the rescue.
"You were also fooled by this idiot, weren't you? We're sorry, our company also bears some responsibility for this. We'll find another opportunity to come and apologize in person later."
Saito Ichigo first bowed to Hikigaya and Ichinose Honami, and then said:
"By the way, my name is Saito Ichigo, and I'm the current president of Ichigo PRO. Since you're here, it means you're interested in becoming an entertainer, right? An idol, an internet celebrity, or a singer? Our company happens to have one opening, would you like to..."
"President!"
Before Ichigo Saito could finish introducing his company, Kyoko Saito whispered something in his ear in a panic.
"Damn it, Kyoko, why didn't you say so sooner!"
"I just found out too."
Saito Ichigo's expression suddenly turned somewhat grim. He hurriedly left a business card and quickly left the restaurant with Koenji, while Hikigaya and Ichinose Honami stood there staring at each other.
"Brother Hachiman, was President Saito inviting me just now?"
That's how I see it.
Hikigaya replied, but according to Ichinose Honami's thinking, even if the other party invited her, she probably wouldn't accept, right?
After all the commotion subsided, the waiter who had been standing by dared to cautiously move over to tidy up the things, and Hachiman took the opportunity to knock on the door next door.
"Miss Xingge, are you still there?"
"of course."
Iji Tomoka's weak voice drifted over, and Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a little worried that Iji Tomoka might run away halfway through because the truth was too cruel, but fortunately she persevered to the end.
"Hachiman, to be honest, I'm completely baffled. Were all of these your ideas?"
Hachiman thought for a moment and replied casually.
"At first, I just felt that this company was a bit suspicious, so I posted these things online. The comments told me what to do. As for what happened after that, I can only say that I let nature take its course."
