Chapter 145 Elf Entertainment
“Lawyer Yanqiao, thank you for your help with this signing.”

Outside the small building where Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. is still hanging, Hideki Hanyu is saying goodbye to Asako Iwahashi.

“This is what I should do, I’ll take my leave first.” Yanqiao Zhaozi still looked indifferent.

“Goodbye, Lawyer Rockbridge.”

“Goodbye.”

Saying goodbye to Asako Iwahashi, Hideki Hanyu turned to look at the sign of Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. on the small building.

Then he said to Yoshihiro Yada, “When changing the registration, change the name of the club to Spirit Entertainment.”

“Yes, I understand.” Yada Ryohiro replied.

The name change is actually just an appearance. Starting today, this club that originally belonged to Yasushi Matsuda will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yunshang Culture in the future.

It also means that starting today, Hideki Hanyu will officially enter the game entertainment industry.

1982 years.

Home computer technology is still immature, and computer games are in the ascendant.

Because of the shoddy production of Alien ET games, the American game giant Atari is about to usher in a big collapse, and by the way, the entire North American game market will collapse together.

Sega’s head office is in turmoil, and it will be affected by the market crash again. It is about to be acquired by its ZTE leader, Nakayama Hayao, and embarks on the road of competing with Nintendo for hegemony.

Nintendo made a big splash with the first-generation G&W handheld, and the just-launched DONKEY KONG handheld made the cross-key operation available for the first time.

Ambitious Nintendo will not be satisfied, the research and development of the FC console has already started, this is destined to be an epoch-making product.

IREM Club, Kenzo Tsujimoto and Yoshihiko Kodo began to enter the peak of the power struggle, and the grievances between SNK and Capcom were laid at this time.

Sony, Bandai, Konami and other big manufacturers are eyeing up, ready to go.

The game entertainment industry is about to usher in a real golden age, and it is also an era of ups and downs for hegemony.

What kind of mark will Hanyu Hideki’s spirit entertainment leave behind in such a bright era?

But before thinking about these things, what Hideki Hanyu had to do first was to appease the emotions of the employees of Spirit Entertainment.

He said to the female secretary who originally belonged to Matsuda Yasushi, “Call everyone to the third floor, I have something to say.”

The female secretary, who had been infatuated with Hideki Hanyu before, quickly agreed, “Yes, I’ll go right away.”

The female secretary hurriedly followed the order and called everyone to the third floor.

The third floor was originally not a big place, and all the employees of the club were concentrated here, making it very crowded.

But even so, no one dared to move.

They were all trembling at the moment, not knowing why the new boss Hideki Hanyu called them here.

What I fear most, of course, is hearing Hideki Hanyu say that he will cut his salary or lay off employees.

The salary cut is not bad, but it will be troublesome if the staff are laid off.

Now that the market is sluggish and the big factories are having a hard time, it is not easy to find a job again.

Many of these people abandoned Tian Wushi’s foundation and followed Matsuda Yasushi to Tokyo to work hard.

Now Yasushi Matsuda sold the company and ran away. If they were laid off, what would they do with their family members who came to Tokyo together.

Hideki Hanyu could see the complex emotions revealed in everyone’s eyes.

He walked in front of everyone, and before he could speak, his handsome appearance and straight figure attracted everyone’s attention.

“Starting today, Coreland Technology Co., Ltd. will cease to exist, and you will become employees of Fairy Entertainment.”

Even though they had been prepared for a long time, when Hideki Hanyu really said these words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

Hanyu Hideki ignored the reactions of these people and continued talking.

“I will be your new boss, and I know what you want to hear, and then I will tell you what you most want to know.”

He raised a finger, “First of all, I won’t lay off you guys now.”

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, everyone could clearly hear the sound of relief.

What everyone feared the most did not happen. No matter how the boss Hideki Hanyu treated them, at least the job was temporarily saved.

It’s always a blessing that they don’t have to worry about making ends meet for their families.

Hanyu Hideki didn’t care about everyone’s rejoicing.

He said that not laying off staff now does not mean that there will be no layoffs in the future.

With so many people, there must be a relationship household arranged by Matsuda Yasushi.

Of course, he will pay attention to capable employees, but he will also mercilessly let them go if they are dawdling.

Besides, he just said that he will not lay off staff, but it does not mean that the new manager will not lay off staff.

Speaking of which, he held up a second finger.

“I acquired Coreland Technology and founded Elven Entertainment not to continue making copycat games, but to grow it. As long as everyone obeys management and works hard, I promise that with the development of Elven Entertainment, your income will not decrease. It’s only going to get better.”

After saying these words, all the employees had a little more hope in their eyes.

Even a salty fish in the workplace wants to paddle in a good company.

What’s more, these people are willing to come to Tokyo to develop with Matsuda Yasushi, so naturally they all have some ambitions.

Of course they hope that the club will grow bigger and bigger, so whether it is their career development or salary, these old employees will definitely increase.

At least in everyone’s opinion, Hanyu Hideki, a celebrity, is at least much stronger than the original boss Matsuda Yasushi.

Besides, everyone is also an insider in the industry, and knows that the former boss Yasushi Matsuda still wants to win the other party’s work “Saint Seiya”.

With this boss now, he should have more hope than Matsuda Yasushi.

Seeing that everyone’s emotions had stabilized, Hideki Hanyu continued.

“The people who were in charge of production, research and development, and sales will stay, and the others can leave.”

After Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, the employees left with a clatter, leaving only three people left.

“Talk to the office with me.”

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he brought the three of them and the female secretary into the president’s office that originally belonged to Matsuda Yasushi.

In the office at this time, there were already two people waiting.

One was Yoshihiro Yada, who was there before. After completing the accounting review, he sent his colleagues away and stayed to obey Hideki Hanyu’s arrangement.

There is another person, Tetsuya Aragaki who just arrived.

The reason why Tetsuya Aragaki didn’t come together in the morning was because Hideki Hanyu asked.

After all, I came to inquire about the news before, and I am a familiar face. It is better not to show up before the acquisition is over.

Sure enough, among the few people who came in with Hideki Hanyu, except for the person in charge of production, everyone was surprised after seeing Tetsuya Aragaki.

They recognized Aragaki Tetsuya, who came to the club the day before yesterday and said he was a client who wanted to discuss cooperation.

Especially the person in charge of the R&D department was particularly impressed with Tetsuya Aragaki.

Because during the time of discussion with the other party, he had seen how strong the technical ability of this client was.

The parts that are only displayed are not inferior to the level of the core technicians of those big factories.

Hideki Hanyu didn’t care how many people were surprised when they saw Tetsuya Aragaki. Now that he is the boss, there are some things that don’t need to be explained to his subordinates.

“Then we will work together, please introduce yourself first.”

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, before the heads of the three departments could speak, the nympho female secretary stepped forward first.

“Mr. Hanyu, I’m Masako Sapera. I used to be Mr. Matsuda Yasushi’s secretary, and I also handled some official affairs of the club.”

Hanyu Hideki didn’t expect it.

I thought this nympho girl was just a secretary, but who would have thought that she would also work as the director of the office.

“Then I will trouble Masako-san to help me sort out the detailed information of all club personnel.”

“Yes, Mr. Hanyu.” Masako Sapei replied loudly, looking enthusiastic about her work.

Next, among the three persons in charge, the oldest man reported the information himself.

“My name is Junchu Kusamura, and I’m in charge of production.”

Hanyu Hideki nodded and said, “Next, please ask Kusamura-san to do a good job of equipment maintenance and calm down the employees. We may start work at any time.”

Although Hideki Hanyu has the idea of ​​relocating Spirit Entertainment to Shinagawa, but it is not the time to tell these employees.

“Yes.” Junchu Kusamura replied.

“I’m Qianyuan Zhensheng, and I’m in charge of sales management.” Another middle-aged man stepped forward.

Among the three persons in charge, this former Yuan Zhensheng was the most well-dressed. Although his appearance was plain, he seemed to be easy to get along with.

For the sales department, Hanyu Hideki is the most important.

After all, in his opinion, in the club that Matsuda Yasushi sold to him, the sales department was even more important than the R&D department.

Therefore, when he heard that the other party was the person in charge of sales, he immediately asked, “How many people are there in the sales department of the club now, and how many places can the sales channels cover?”

“There are 22 full-time employees in our sales department. Today, there are seven people in the club, and the rest are out to work. As for sales channels, arcade games and toy sales, they can basically cover Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, and Kobe. , Kyoto, Fukuoka, Kawasaki, Saitama, Hiroshima, Sendai and other major cities.”

Maemoto Masao answered Hideki Hanyu’s question.

Hideki Hanyu felt that such a small number of people managed to manage the most important big city of Neon. Yasushi Matsuda obviously spent a lot of effort in establishing sales channels.

“Please Qian Yuansang do a good job of appeasing the sales staff. In the future, the sales work of the club will need their contribution, and there is also the contact information of expatriates. Please give me a copy of Qian Yuansang.”

The reason for sending out the contact information of the sales staff is, of course, that he, the big boss, wants to make phone calls in person to win people over.

Of course he was worried that the sales channel was in the hands of a former person in charge.

Now let’s simply win over, when the new manager takes office in the future, he will definitely add sand to it to dilute the influence of former Yuan Zhensheng.

“Yes.”

Maemoto Masao could guess Hanyu Hideki’s thoughts.

However, he felt that Hideki Hanyu was worrying too much, and he didn’t have any idea of ​​”supporting the soldiers and self-respect” at all.

Not to mention that in a society like Neon, it is impossible for his subordinates to run with him.

Even if he managed to drag his subordinates to escape, other companies would not be able to accept this kind of betrayal experience.

Even if you choose to start a business after running away, the chance of success in the current market environment is so small that it can be ignored.

Besides, without the support of the benefactor, he didn’t even know where to find the first month’s salary for pulling people out.

After Qian Yuan Zhensheng finished speaking, the youngest man among them introduced himself, “My name is Zang Yuanma, and I am the person in charge of the technology research and development department.”

“How many people are there in Kurohara-san’s department?” Hideki Hanyu asked.

“Counting me, there are a total of twelve people.” Tibetan horse replied.

Hanyu Hideki heard the words, pointed to Aragaki Tetsuya beside him and said to Kurohara Ma, “This is Aragaki Tetsuya, who will be responsible for the integration of the R&D department next.”

“Hi Kurahara-san, I’m Tetsuya Aragaki, please take care of me at work in the future.”

Aragaki Tetsu also said hello and didn’t say much.

“Yes, I will definitely cooperate with Aragaki-san’s work.”

Other departments are fine, but the R&D department was parachuted by Hanyu Hideki Tetsuya Aragaki, the manager. It must be a lie for Kurahara to say that he has no emotions in his heart.

But so what if there are emotions, Yasushi Matsuda has sold the club, and now the club is Spirit Entertainment, not Coreland Technology.

Unless he wants to lose his job, he can only follow Hanyu Hideki’s arrangement.

But what makes Kurohara Ma happy is that in getting along with Aragaki Tetsuya the day before yesterday, he knew that Aragaki Tetsuya was at least not a layman who did not understand technology.

After getting acquainted with a few people in charge, Hanyu Hideki then made arrangements for the work of Spirit Entertainment in the next few days, mainly focusing on rectification.

Then he asked Yoshihiro Yada to find a suitable new office location in Shinagawa.

As soon as the new manager is in place and the place is found, the relocation will take place immediately, and then the work will start.

He spent hundreds of millions of yen to acquire Coreland Technology and set up Elf Entertainment. Even if the research and development expenses are not counted, the salary of the personnel alone will exceed [-] million yen a year.

Spending so much money is not really for the purpose of developing games for himself.

In his heart, there are a series of development plans.

To appease several managers, Hanyu Hideki stayed in the office, and used the contact information given by Mae Moto to contact the sales staff working outside one by one.

Although these people are not in the club, they have all received news that Matsuda Yasushi is going to sell the club.

They are out of town, and they don’t know what will happen if the club is acquired, and they are all panicking.

In the end, I didn’t expect to be treated by the new boss who personally called to appease me, and I felt at ease for a while.

After a busy day at the club, before leaving in the afternoon, Hanyu Hideki called Tetsuya Aragaki who had been in the R&D department for half a day.

“How? As a manager, what do you think about our R&D department?”

“Perhaps because they have been imitating mature games before, their technical ability is fine, but their sense of innovation is not strong enough, and they are basically technical personnel, lacking design and development talents.”

Aragaki Tetsu also expressed his thoughts.

“Aragaki-san, write a report on improving the R&D department. Next, the R&D department is very important to me. I will explain clearly what people and equipment are needed. I will fully support your work.”

Hideki Hanyu made a promise.

“I see, I will submit the report as soon as possible.”

Aragaki Tetsu also knew that he was no longer the little employee who didn’t care about anything, and some things had to be considered comprehensively.

Although that Kurohara horse was a bit inferior in technology, he was more experienced in management work than him. It would be better for Hanyu Hideki to consult and communicate with Kurohara horse for the report he wanted.

After finishing the report, Hideki Hanyu took out a copy of “Weekly Shonen Sunday” and handed it to Tetsuya Aragaki.

This is the latest issue of the weekly magazine, and on the cover is a picture of Binghe using the Diamond Star Fist.

“Have you read this manga?” Hideki Hanyu asked.

“I’ve read it. Hanyu-sensei’s story is really wonderful.” Tetsuya Aragaki’s compliment didn’t seem intentional, and he was obviously a fan of Saint Seiya.

“If you are asked to develop an arcade game based on this comic, do you have the confidence to do it?”

“Can we get the copyright? Doesn’t it mean that Bandai and Sony compete fiercely?”

“It’s very difficult to get all authorizations.” Hideki Hanyu said this with a slight smile.

“But whether it’s Bandai or Sony, I have the confidence to let them outsource the production of arcade games to us. This is a good opportunity for exercise. I hope that Aragaki-san will prepare for it.”

“I see.”

Tetsu Aragaki didn’t expect that the products that Hideki Hanyu gave them to practice were all popular works like “Saint Seiya”.

It is really a happy thing to have such a boss who holds the copyright of such a hot topic.

“Okay, next here, I will ask Aragaki-sang to take care.”

“President Hanyu is polite.”

“Aragaki-san, go get busy.”

“Yes, I will take my leave first.”

After sending Tetsuya Aragaki away, Hideki Hanyu explained to the secretary Masako Sapei that he would be notified in time if there was something wrong with the club, and he followed suit.

In the car leaving, Hanyu Hideki realized that he had to find a person in charge of Yunshang Culture immediately.

Otherwise, whether it is the cooperative operation of the work or the daily management of Elf Entertainment, it will be enough to tie him to death, and he will not be able to do anything else.

But the question is who to turn to.

He has experience in publishing, sales and copyright operations, and knows how to deal with the cultural and entertainment circles.

Even if the management experience can lower the requirements, but you must be reliable and reliable, such people are hard to find.

While thinking, he drove to Tokyo Takarazuka Opera House.

My girlfriend came to Tokyo with the Takarazuka Opera Troupe this morning, and this meeting just happened to catch up with my girlfriend’s performance, and after the performance, I just picked her up to go home.

what?
You said that your girlfriend didn’t agree to live in Wanshiwu yesterday.

If you believe what a woman says, you deserve to be single for the rest of your life.

To deal with women, you must be bold, careful and thick-skinned.

It’s the same anywhere in the world unless there are women who want something out of you.

And when Hideki Hanyu was driving to pick up his girlfriend, there was a meeting about the debut movie of Genki Girl in Minato, which was far away in the cloud.

Attendees included Asako Hirohashi, the president of Yunshang Pictures, Shota Yoshioka, the person in charge of Yunshang Entertainment, and Nobusuke Ito, the tentative film director.

In addition to them, there are also Motoki Matsui, the manager of Yunshang Entertainment, Katsuhito Matsushita, the person in charge of YM Records, and other staff members who have to cooperate with the promotion of the girl’s debut.

“The tentative title of the new movie is ‘I’m Sorry I’m So Cute’. Everyone has seen the first draft of the script. If there are no problems, I will arrange the scriptwriting department to perfect it.”

Ito Shinsuke asked everyone.

Now he is thinking about working with beautiful women, and he can’t wait to start filming as soon as possible.

“I have no problem here.” Hirohashi Asako said.

“I’m fine, but I still suggest showing it to Hanyu-san.”

Even through recruitment, Yun Shang Pictures has established a complete screenwriting department.

Compared with the screenwriting department with a large number of people, Yoshioka Shota still trusts Hanyu Hideki’s vision more.

“No problem, once the script is finished, I’ll show it to Hanyu-san.”

After Ito Nobusuke finished speaking, he looked at the other people in charge, “Do you have any opinions on the script?”

“No.” Everyone replied.

“Since this is the case, then I will formally prepare the crew. As for the candidates for the leading role, apart from the three members of the Genki Girls and Akina Nakamori, I decided to invite Nana Okada as the most important supporting actress.”

“Supervisor Ito and Nana Okada have a bad reputation because of the imprisonment incident, and the works made by Kadokawa and the response are also mediocre. Is it too risky to choose her?”

Matsui Motoki did not know the relationship between Ito Shinsuke and Okada Nana, and expressed his doubts.

“It’s just a supporting role, and the role she plays can be regarded as the villain in the movie, so it won’t have much influence.”

Nobusuke Ito explained.

“Since Supervisor Ito has considered it, then I have no objection.” Matsui Motoki said.

“In addition to these people, for the casting of the remaining roles on the outline, please send invitations to the brokerage firms you have worked with.”

After Ito Nobusuke finished his orders, he asked Yoshioka Shota, “Is the debut time of the vitality girl set?”

“The debut song will be released on July [-]th. The release of the movie can be slightly delayed, but it cannot exceed one week.”

It’s almost June, and the countdown to the debut of Vitality Girl has also entered.

“Can’t it be delayed?” Ito Shinsuke felt that the shooting cycle was a bit short.

“No, Warner Pioneer has already confirmed that Ming Caijiang’s second single will be released at the end of July. We must let them stagger the release time of the single, so we can’t crash the car by ourselves.”

After Yoshioka Shota finished explaining, Hirohashi Asako spoke.

“How about Ito-san, Qi Girl debuted on July [-]th, and the movie’s release date is tentatively scheduled for July [-]th. It can not only help Yuanqi Girl to promote, but also help Akina-chan to promote her single.”

Ito Shinsuke heard the words and began to think, calculating whether he could complete the shooting and post-production in such a short time.

After a while, he felt that although the time was tight, a little hard work should be enough, so he nodded in agreement.

“It will be released on July [-]th. There is no problem in completing the production, but apart from the production time, Asako-san also needs to make arrangements for the release of the film.”

“No problem, I will communicate the release schedule with Shochiku in advance.” Hirohashi Asako said.

Although the box office of “Love, Home” that is currently being screened is fierce, but the new movie that Yunying Pictures is about to start shooting, Shochiku Pictures has no idea of ​​joining the production committee, and only intends to simply undertake the distribution work.

After all, without the blessing of the original book, and at first glance, it was a movie for a promotional video for a new idol group. Shochiku was not interested in investing in promotion for other artists, and he didn’t think the box office would be so high.

However, considering that the cooperation of “Love, Come Home” was relatively successful, when Asako Hirohashi negotiated the release conditions, Shochiku still gave support.

20.00% Seven’s box office share, which is [-]% higher than the ratio of “Love, Go Home”, which can be regarded as an expression of goodwill for Yunshang Pictures.

“Love, Go Home” is about to be a success. Of course, Shochiku wants to continue to cooperate with Yunying Pictures.

Otherwise, if they simply provide distribution, whether it is Toei, Toho, or Kadokawa, or even Nikkatsu, which focuses on pink movies, I am afraid that they will not reject Yunying Pictures.

“There is one more thing to tell Ito-san. I have already contacted Suntory, and other brands are also in contact. The sponsorship should be confirmed soon. Ito-san should consider the shooting issue in advance.”

Hirohashi Asako talked about the placement of advertisements.

When “Love, Go Home” was filmed before, due to the content of the story, no brand side was willing to implant it.

Even the Nintendo handheld that has appeared many times was purchased by Yunying Pictures with its own pocket.

But today is different from the past, the movie tentatively titled “I’m Sorry So Cute”, due to the content of the filming, there are too many places where advertisements can be placed.

For example, the main place where the plot takes place is the school, all kinds of student supplies, drinks and food in the vending machine can all be sponsored.

Originally, this movie was filmed as a promotional film for Vigorous Girls, so the placement of advertisements would destroy the artistic value of the movie, which was completely out of the consideration of Yunshang Pictures.

The production cost of the new film is expected to be higher than that of “Love, Come Home.”

But because the original business of Yunying Pictures is to shoot advertisements, in terms of brand sponsorship, Yunying Pictures is definitely a professional.

Maybe once the operation is done, the cost will be recovered before the filming starts.

“I know, but there shouldn’t be too many advertisements. The protagonist of this movie is a young girl after all, so it can’t be turned into an advertisement.”

Nobusuke Ito hurriedly ordered.

Hirohashi Asako is good at everything, but when considering things, he always puts profit as the first goal.

Nobusuke Ito was afraid that Asako Hirohashi would be knocked unconscious by the advertiser’s money, so he abruptly made the promotional video of Vigorous Girl into a commercial.

“Don’t worry, I’m sensible.” Hirohashi Asako said.

……

Next, the few people held a meeting until the evening on the matter of Vitality Girl and the new movie.

At the end of the meeting, Asako Hirohashi walked towards the office while telling the assistant to send a copy to Hideki Hanyu immediately after sorting out the minutes of today’s meeting.

Of course, there is Yukio Tanaka’s investment company, after all, it is still a shareholder of Yunshang Entertainment Office.

At the beginning, the reason for the investment was for the vitality girl. Who would have thought that Akina Nakamori, who signed the contract later, would become popular first.

But this is also a routine, Yukio Tanaka is more like a shopkeeper than Hideki Hanyu, and never asks about the office except for giving money.

While talking, before Hirohashi Asako returned to the office, a receptionist from Yun Ying Hua came over.

“President Hirohashi, a guest named Eri Kitahara came to President Hanyu just now, and I told her that President Hanyu is not here today, so she left.”

Hearing what the receptionist said, Hirohashi Asako showed a puzzled expression.

Of course she knew Eri Kitahara, Hideki Hanyu was the person in charge of the Shogakukan.

It’s just that if the other party is looking for Hideki Hanyu, why would they come to Yunying Hua, go to Wanshiwu, or send a message to the pager directly.

“Did the other party say something?” Hirohashi Asako asked.

“No.” The receptionist replied.

“Okay, I see.”

Asako Hirohashi returned to the office, picked up the phone and called Manshiwu first, but no one answered.

Then he called the paging station and sent a paging message to Hideki Hanyu, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

Now she has no choice but to wait for Hanyu Hideki to see the information by herself.

Why didn’t Hanyu Hideki see the pager message?

Because he was watching a performance at the Takarazuka Opera House, in order to avoid communication equipment affecting the performance, he didn’t bring a pager with him at all.

At the same time, Eri Kitahara was wandering aimlessly in Koishikawa Korakuen, not far from Master House.

Because she couldn’t get in touch with Hideki Hanyu, she first went to Yunying Painting to find nothing, and then came to Wanshiwu.

In the end, there was still no one, so they walked here unknowingly.

Eri Kitahara looked at the park shrouded in darkness, unconsciously recalling what happened today.

The fire of “Saint Seiya” and the unexpected success of the movie “Love, Come Home” made Shogakukan more aware of the importance of Hideki Hanyu.

Especially when Hideki Hanyu also owns a cooperative film company like Yunying Pictures, Shogakukan decided to continue to strengthen cooperation with Hideki Hanyu.

Shogakukan decided to let the general affairs department take the lead, and the sales department, editorial department, business department, and finance department will jointly establish a cooperation team to connect with Hideki Hanyu, Yunshang Culture, and Yunshang Painting.

At the very beginning of the establishment of the group, Sales Director Imaizawa Hitoshi made a promise to Eri Kitahara that Eri Kitahara would be a representative of the sales department and join the new cooperation group as one of the leaders of the group.

Therefore, from the beginning of the decision to set up the cooperation group, Eri Kitahara contributed to the establishment of the cooperation group wholeheartedly.

But what she didn’t expect was that at the meeting of the cooperation team today, the representative of the sales department did not have her name in the list of members of the cooperation team personally announced by Xiang He.

Her position in the group is merely to be Hanyu Hideki’s liaison.

Not to mention her original representative position, she was also deprived of all rights related to Hanyu Hideki’s signing, publishing and distribution.

Now the connection between Shogakukan and Hideki Hanyu will be completely taken over by the cooperation team.

Eri Kitahara’s job is just a liaison officer.

Everything obtained by Hideki Hanyu disappeared in just half a day.

Kitahara Eri went to find Minister Imai, but Imai Zeren said that this was a decision made after discussion by the club’s leadership.

Imai Zeren asked her to take care of the overall situation and not to do things that would embarrass the leadership.

Of course Imai Zehito knew that Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara had a good relationship, but he didn’t think that Hideki Hanyu would have a conflict with Shogakukan for an ordinary employee.

Moreover, Imai Zawahito clearly warned Kitahara Eri not to try to blackmail Shogakukan with Hanyu Hideki, it would be useless to do so.

“Hideki Hanyu can help you once, but can’t help you forever.”

This is what Imai Zeren said to Kitahara Eri at the end.

After leaving Minister Imai’s office, a colleague who was close to her took advantage of no one to tell her the truth.

The reason why Minister Imai did this is because the person who replaced Eri Kitahara’s position was named Naoaki Yagyu.

Naoaki Yagyu is not only the director of the business department, but also the executive director of Xiaoxiaoguan.

The other party communicated with Imai Zeren and asked his son, who entered the Shogakukan at the beginning of the year, to replace Eri Kitahara as the representative.

As for why the other party didn’t directly let his son replace Eri Kitahara’s position before, but waited until the cooperation team was established before doing it.

The main reason is to consider that it was a one-on-one matchmaking before. Once Eri Kitahara is replaced, I am worried that Hideki Hanyu will disagree.

But now a cooperation team is established, and in the future, whether it is the production committee for filming, publishing, editing and review, and financial docking, all work will be included in it.

At this time, Eri Kitahara’s responsibilities were diluted, but Hideki Hanyu had no reason to object if she still retained her status as a liaison officer.

Because everyone’s rights belong to the group, and Eri Kitahara is no exception.

As for the previous promise made to Eri Kitahara’s sales representative, one of the team leaders.

That was just a verbal promise made by Hitoshi Imai Zeren, and no written agreement was signed, and the cooperation team cannot be blamed for failing to fulfill it.

Whether Eri Kitahara is wronged or not, the big shot doesn’t care at all.

So what if Eri Kitahara performed well in the previous work with Hideki Hanyu.

It’s just a small employee, accepting the arrangement of the club is a matter of course, and being wronged is also part of the job.

Knowing all this, Eri Kitahara felt helpless, and her first reaction was to seek help from Hideki Hanyu.

After all, she is from Shizuoka, and she came to Tokyo to work hard. She has no one to rely on, and she doesn’t even have many friends, let alone someone who can help her.

But after being unable to get in touch by phone and searching for nothing, Eri Kitahara also calmed down at this time.

As Imai Zeren said, if Hanyu Hideki can help her once, can he help her for a lifetime?

Looking back, if she was Minister Imai Zeren, would she be able to stick to her principles and protect her subordinates who had no background when faced with the request of a big man like Naoaki Yagyu?
She doesn’t know it herself.

Even if you are very unwilling, maybe this is the sorrow of the little people.

Revolt?

revenge?

revenge?

Don’t be kidding, why is she?

The weak, even if they have the courage to resist fate.

But what strength does she have to resist?

I’m afraid that the crazy struggle will only make those superiors laugh.

Eri Kitahara admired Asako Hirohashi very much, and envied Asako Hirohashi to follow Hideki Hanyu and become a real female entrepreneur step by step.

She also fantasized about working hard in the elementary school, stepping up to the top step by step, and finally becoming a strong woman like Hirohashi Asako.

But now, the cruelty of reality shattered her fantasy.

Wandering aimlessly in Koishikawa Korakuen, Eri Kitahara misses her mother a little.

Eri Kitahara felt that maybe it was time for her to go back to her hometown in Shizuoka.

Then, like an ordinary neon woman, find a man to marry, take care of her husband and raise her children, and live the same life every day.

But ask yourself, is she willing?

not reconciled…

But so what.

The original idea of ​​seeking help from Hideki Hanyu also turned into a farewell.

everything is over.

Working under someone who took everything from her, and then being the object of ridicule?

Even if her dream was shattered, Kitahara Eri’s self-esteem would not allow her to do so.

Leaving the elementary school was already her only choice.

Whether to find another place to start a new struggle, or choose to go home and accept the reality, let the future decide.

……

Wanshiwu, Hideki Hanyu just came back with his girlfriend who finished the show.

Habitually turn on the phone recording, an assistant reports to her about the work arrangement, and there are also some messages from the partner.

But there is a strange message from Eri Kitahara, just asking him if he is there?
Immediately afterwards, I heard a message from Asako Hirohashi, saying that Eri Kitahara had gone to Yunying Painting to find him.

Hanyu Hideki felt that something was wrong.

Even if there is something urgent to find him at the Shogakukan, Eri Kitahara will usually just leave him a message, and at most contact the assistant Reiko Uemura to help find him.

Going to the elementary school to find someone in person, this kind of thing has never happened before.

Hanyu Hideki tried to call Kitahara Eri’s apartment, but the apartment concierge answered the phone and told him that Kitahara Eri was not at home.

Send a paging message, wait for a long time and no call back.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hideki Hanyu had no choice but to give up contact.

After all, in his opinion, even if something urgent happened to Kitahara Eri, who was so big, it would not be a real accident.

In addition, he and his girlfriend hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and when the two were deeply in love, Spring Breeze didn’t have enough time for a while, so he quickly forgot about Eri Kitahara.

Early the next morning, when Hanyu Hideki woke up, it was already high in the sun.

Looking at Hitomi Kuroki who was still sleeping soundly, thinking of the ups and downs of the two last night, he didn’t wake each other up either.

Carefully got up and came to the first floor, first fed Nako Lulu cat food, then packed himself, wrote a note to his girlfriend saying that he had something to go out, and then drove straight to the elementary school.

After all, I was still worried about my friend Eri Kitahara, and wanted to know what happened.

But when he arrived at the elementary school, he heard a news that surprised him.

“Eri Kitahara resigned this morning, didn’t she tell Mr. Hanyu?”

This is what Imai Zeren said to Hanyu Hideki.

“why?”

Hanyu Hideki really couldn’t figure out why he resigned suddenly when he was fine the last time we met.

Eri Kitahara, whose dream is to be a strong woman, would never resign without a reason.

Most importantly, Eri Kitahara had no reason not to tell him of her resignation.

“The Shogakukan considers to better serve Mr. Hanyu, so it plans to establish a cooperation group to deal with cooperation with Mr. Hanyu, Yunshang Culture and Yunshang Painting. Mr. Hanyu knows about this.”

Imaizawa asked.

“I know about it.” Hideki Hanyu replied.

“Perhaps Kitahara-san felt that after the establishment of the group, she lost the right to handle Hanyu’s work, so she resigned because she was dissatisfied with the work arrangement.”

This is how Imai Zejin explained to Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki, who knew everything, was about to leave Shogakukan to look for Kitahara Eri.

But as soon as he arrived at the parking lot, he was dragged to a corner by the editor Maeda Zongyoshi who suddenly appeared.

Then, he learned from Maeda Soyoshi the real reason for Kitahara Eri’s resignation.

After listening to Hideki Hanyu, he finally knew why Eri Kitahara wanted to find him yesterday and why he resigned.

He shook his head helplessly.

It is not uncommon for related households to seize the opportunities and fruits of labor of employees with no background.

He just didn’t expect this to happen to his friend.

After thanking Soyoshi Maeda, Hideki Hanyu drove away from Shogakukan and went straight to Eri Kitahara’s apartment.

As soon as the car arrived at the apartment building, he saw a scary scene.

On the fourth floor of the apartment, Eri Kitahara, with disheveled hair, was sitting on the window sill of her room, looking into the distance with both legs swinging back and forth.

“Kitahara-san, don’t be too hard on yourself, isn’t it just a job!”

Hanyu Hideki rushed downstairs to the apartment and shouted.

It was only then that Eri Kitahara found out that Hideki Hanyu had arrived at some unknown time.

“Don’t worry, I’m just looking at the scenery in the distance.”

Eri Kitahara answered loudly, then got up and left the window sill.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki was finally relieved, but he didn’t dare to be negligent, fearing that the other party would be overwhelmed, he hurried to the door of Eri Kitahara’s apartment.

Upon reaching the door, he found that it had been opened.

Eri Kitahara, who was wearing a white dress, was looking at him inside and asked, “I only have water and coffee here, what would Hanyu-san want to drink?”

“Kitahara-san forgot, I never drink coffee.” Hanyu Hideki said as he walked into the door.

This was the first time he saw Eri Kitahara wearing a skirt, and she used to wear black business attire.

Not to mention, even though Eri Kitahara’s appearance was still ordinary after putting on a skirt, she felt a little less aggressive and more frail.

And when the wind blew, the skirt stuck to Kitahara Eri’s body, and he realized how thin the girl was.

It feels like a gust of wind can blow away at any time.

“Have Mr. Hanyu been to Shogakukan?” Eri Kitahara asked when delivering water.

“That’s right, not only have I been to the Xiaoxiaokan, but I also learned about two different reasons for Kitahara-san’s resignation from different people.”

Hideki Hanyu said and shrugged his shoulders, “It’s winding and winding, it can be written as a novel.”

Eri Kitahara laughed when she heard the words, but didn’t speak.

Because they were friends, Eri Kitahara didn’t want to say anything to make Hanyu Hideki stand out for her.

Also because they were friends, Eri Kitahara knew, and Hideki Hanyu knew that she would not ask for help.

“What are Kitahara-san’s plans going forward?”

“Take a break, maybe go home and have a look, maybe find a new job.”

Kitahara Eri said in a relaxed tone.

“Well, I have something here, I wonder if Kitahara-san is willing to help.”

Hanyu Hideki put down his water glass and looked at Eri Kitahara with a smile.

……

May 28, [-].

Elementary school building.

The second meeting on the peripheral authorization of “Saint Seiya” was held in the conference room on the fourth floor.

Representatives of the four shareholders of Constellation Culture were all present, and representatives from Bandai and Sony also arrived in the meeting room on time.

The moderator of the meeting, Yagyu Wangta, the leader of the newly formed Hideki Hanyu Collaborative Group at Shogakukan, was about to announce the start of the meeting.

At this moment, a staff member of the Elementary School Hall suddenly hurried into the venue, walked up to the host Wangta Yagyu and whispered a few words in the ear.

After the staff member finished speaking, Yagyu Wangta’s expression immediately became ugly.

Then he unconsciously looked at the shareholder representative of the Constellation Culture Elementary School sitting beside him, who was also his father, Naoaki Yagyu, the head of the business department.

“Say something directly.”

Naoaki Yagyu was very dissatisfied with his son’s immature performance.

Seeing his father’s displeasure, Liu Shengwang hurriedly straightened his expression and loudly announced the news he had just received.

“I just received a notice that today’s meeting will be attended by a new representative from Spirit Entertainment. Spirit Entertainment has officially submitted an application for the copyright authorization of Saint Seiya’s peripherals. Their representative is…”

Before Yagyu Wangta finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The little secretary, Masako Sahira, pushed the door open, and Tetsuya Aragaki, Juntada Kusamura, Masao Maemoto, and Makoto Karahara, all dressed in formal attire, filed in.

Behind them, a woman dressed in Chanel haute couture OL professional attire, with short ear-length hair and fiery red lips, walked in.

The woman walked to the chair pulled away by her hands and sat down, smiling and looking at everyone.

“It’s the first time I’ve met you. I’m the president of Spirit Entertainment, Eri Kitahara.”

Haha, I really like the Korean movie New World. In the end, Lee Jung-jae’s appearance is really cool. Let’s imitate it a little bit.

Thank you for traveling slowly in the sea of ​​books, the lotus pomelo baa dad recommended by Mei Yuyou, blame me ==, Flying Dante for the reward, thank you very much.
