Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

Sato was interrupted by Ogawa halfway through his sentence.

"As long as you stay in your current position, the president won't mind and will even help you."

"Suzuki isn't my biological son or anything, he's just a relative's child."

Ogawa would never have told Sato those words a few months ago.

But things are different now; the boy is different.

And a relative's child wants to become a star? Taking care of them a little is a favor, but that's all.

Once the value exceeds that small kinship ties, it will naturally crumble on its own.

The president probably also dislikes Suzuki, who uses his connections to cause trouble.

As Xiaochuan spoke, a warm smile broke the remaining coldness on her face.

"So what you just did was right."

The woman raised her hand slightly and then lowered it again.

As Sato comes into contact with more and more people, he may encounter more and more difficulties.

Different people require different approaches. For someone like Suzuki, backing down will only embolden him.

"I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble."

"..."

Looking into the boy's eyes, and seeing his own reflection in them, a slight blush crept onto Xiao Chuan's face.

The car fell silent for a moment.

"Please drop me off at the tram stop, Mr. Ogawa."

Sato's words broke the silence in the car once again.

"Ok?"

Ogawa snapped out of his daze and fastened his seatbelt with a click.

Anyway, it's okay if we don't drift apart in private, right?

Speaking of which, this man is also her lucky charm.

"Since we're already out, I'll take you to buy some clothes and skincare products while we're at it."

"I have no money."

No, you have money!

"The contract is out, you have 500,000!"

Five hundred thousand means that she has become rich thanks to this God of Wealth.

Chapter 24 Shopping Spree and Lover

"Five hundred thousand..."

Upon hearing the enormous sum of money, the boy's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

Although he expected to make a profit, the 500,000 was still far beyond his expectations.

Both future prospects and financial prospects are important.

Money makes the world go round. Only after experiencing the pain and anxiety of being broke will you truly understand the importance of money.

"I was about to tell you something, but Suzuki interrupted me."

Xiao Chuan's rosy lips pouted slightly, looking somewhat annoyed, yet also revealing a charming naiveté rarely seen in others.

"A minimum of 500,000 is guaranteed, not including bonuses. Bonuses will depend on the ratings and recording rate after the show airs. Of course, subsequent hazard subsidies will be calculated later."

Ogawa quickly explained.

In other words, 500,000 is the guaranteed minimum salary. There are a total of 26 episodes, but he doesn't appear in every episode, so the guaranteed minimum is about 30,000 per episode, which isn't much.

However, his billing in the film wasn't high to begin with, and he had worked hard for a month playing a dead character, earning only 30,000 yuan.

For a top-tier actor, 500,000 yen is just a drop in the ocean, but for Ryo Sato, it's a huge sum of money.

With this sum of money, his nutritional meals can be made more varied.

It can also do more things.

"Yes, but I'll have to ask you to pay for it in advance."

"That's no problem."

"Thanks to you, I have money now."

Ogawa's mouth corners increased by a few pixels.

She had already planned to send someone to buy clothes.

And I'll buy some for myself too.

She had sold quite a few before.

In that case... it feels like a publicly funded date.

"Cough cough..."

Covering up the absurd thought in his mind with a light cough, Ogawa continued, "But I thought you wanted to save it."

She had seen everything the boy did to save money.

Upon hearing this, Sato shook his head: "As long as the money is spent, it's good that we can earn more back in the future."

Sato had no intention of saving money by living frugally.

His main purpose in making money was to hoard properties before the bubble burst and then sell them.

But 500,000 is just a drop in the ocean compared to this ambitious goal.

Therefore, the top priority is to use 500,000 to improve my physical condition, acting skills, and my special abilities. With these, I won't be short of a penny in the future.

Of course, you should also save some money to prepare for unexpected situations and social obligations.

Clothing and skincare products are also considered part of social interactions.

The saying goes that clothes make the man; before, there were no such conditions, but things are different now.

"You seem quite confident."

Xiaochuan felt quite gratified, as if his younger brother had finally grown up.

The boy has really changed a lot.

Looking at the yellowed clothes on the boy in front of her, she felt a strange sense of anticipation.

She wasn't without her own selfish motives either.

The boy has been getting more and more handsome lately, and I wonder what surprises my 'little brother' will bring her after he becomes fashionable.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chuan felt a surge of excitement, like when he used to play house with his younger brother and dress him up in girls' clothes.

"...Anyway, no one will see it in private."

On the surface, she's an agent, so it's perfectly normal for her to be seen with her artists. Even if a magazine takes pictures of her, there's nothing she can say about it, not to mention that no magazine is going to work with Sato right now.

Thinking it over, the woman started the engine, and the car slowly drove away from the parking lot.

......

Ogawa wasn't so heartless as to actually buy women's clothing for Sato; the two simply went to a large chain store nearby.

The sales assistant's eyes lit up when she saw the young man coming out of the fitting room.

Clothes make the man, and the boy who was wearing old clothes was handsome, but his ill-fitting clothes dragged him down.

The overall feel and vibe are off.

Now, he's even just wearing a casual black jacket, shirt, and jeans.

This kind of outfit is everywhere, but it's precisely this simplicity that makes the boy's handsome features stand out even more.

"Unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend, and she's very beautiful."

The girl thought regretfully to herself, but a charming smile appeared on her face: "This dress would suit your boyfriend very well."

"what......"

Ogawa, who was also surprised by Sato's change, widened his eyes upon hearing this and couldn't help but secretly glance in Sato's direction.

Fortunately, the boy didn't seem to notice what was happening on their side. He was studying his own appearance in front of the mirror. Although his actions were a bit vain, they didn't seem greasy on Sato.

And so, amidst the envious gazes of the shop assistant beside him, Xiaochuan nodded.

"Yes, it's quite suitable."

Ayako Ogawa calmly agreed.

However, she said this not for herself, but only to prevent her artists from being harassed.

Judging from the shop assistant's demeanor, if she were to say something like "he's not my boyfriend," the next step would probably be to make her move.
