Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

A hat doesn't look good on one person, but it looks much better when two people wear hats together.

This hat, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get used to wearing it.

He raised his hand in protest: "Don't label me like that. These are all things you wanted to do, that's why I dragged you to do them. When did I ever drag you to do things you didn't want to do? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll label you as a slanderer."

"I want to see your privacy, but you won't let me."

"..." Kazuya Sawashiro was speechless.

Logically speaking, Akimi Amano truly defeated Kazuya Sawashiro.

If I continued arguing with her, who knows what kind of misconceptions we might fall into? Anyway, I didn't respond to those emails, so no matter how much Amano Aki made fun of me, it wouldn't affect me. I might as well just show them to her.

But there's a condition for showing it to her.

"Don't tell anyone after you see this, or it will affect other people's lives. You'd better be prepared to apologize."

Kazuya Sawashiro would naturally keep this a secret, so he needed Aki Amano to keep it a secret with him. Otherwise, given her current level of attention, if she accidentally mentioned it online, it would cause a major incident.

Even if she doesn't name names, she's still afraid that someone with ulterior motives will dig them up.

Things are not that simple.

Kazuya Sawashiro's serious attitude made Aki Amano pay close attention. She thought about her own outspoken personality and realized that she really couldn't keep a secret.

I want to see it, but I'm afraid I'll tell anyone.

Torn between the two, Amano Aki chose the best outcome, turning her head away and saying resolutely, "Then I won't watch it. I'm afraid that if I tell you one day, we'll have to compensate and apologize, and we might even be banned by netizens."

It's not just big firms that can play the blacklist game; ordinary people can too.

The only difference is that agencies operate from the top down and engage in illegal practices, while ordinary people don't have to worry about such things. They have the right to choose the programs and artists they like, and they can spontaneously boycott artists they don't like.

If there are many people boycotting, fewer people will watch the show, and the TV station will consider replacing the artist who is not liked.

In this way, the artists would essentially be blacklisted by ordinary people.

It was rare for Amano Aki to think of so many things, and Sawashiro Kazuya was very pleased. Just as he was about to praise Amano Aki, the words Amano Aki said next hit Sawashiro Kazuya's head like a hammer, leaving him completely stunned.

Amano Aki stared wide-eyed at Sawashiro Kazuya, asking expectantly, "In exchange, could you tell me which of these email senders you like the most? And what kind of woman do you like?"

Two likes, bang bang bang, smashed onto the head of Kazuya Sawashiro.

He was a little dizzy, and after staring at Amano Aki for a long time, he finally asked, "Um... why would I like these frivolous women? And what good would it do me to expose my personal preferences to you?"

If you throw two questions at me, then I'll return two questions to you.

Amano Aki seemed to have anticipated that Sawashiro Kazuya would give the same answer, so she calmly replied without blushing or panicking, "Because you're single, and we're under the same roof, so shouldn't I first understand your personal preferences and then become someone you don't like, so I don't have to worry about you making a move on me?"

"Then you can rest assured, I don't like girls who hunch over." Ze Cheng Kazu pointed out Amano Aki's flaw without hesitation.

Amano Aki has a bad habit of hunching over, which was pointed out by the media many years ago.

If he had the chance to tease her, Kazuya Sawashiro certainly wouldn't let it pass.

Upon hearing this, Amano Aki immediately straightened his back and continued to ask Sawashiro Kazuya, "Anything else? There can't be just this, right?"

"Anything else?" Kazuya Sawashiro smiled and pointed at Aki Amano, saying, "You'll have to ask yourself that, since all I know is that you have a hunchback."

"..."

Would anyone be foolish enough to reveal their own flaws?

Most people wouldn't do this, but Amano Aki is not an ordinary person; she has a crush on Sawashiro Kazuya.

If I could find out what he doesn't like, I could change it a little. Maybe if Kazuya Sawashiro saw the change, he would like me too.

"I have a strong regional accent, do you hate it?"

"No... having a native accent isn't a flaw; it's just a unique charm bestowed upon us by heaven, just like how people love the Kyoto dialect."

"Huh?" Amano Aki was startled by the answer, then suddenly realized something and excitedly asked, "So, can I speak my hometown dialect at the agency and at work?"

"Whatever, but if others don't understand, I'll beat you up."

"I can teach you, hehe."

"..." Kazuya Sawashiro was too lazy to talk to her, and gave her a look to figure it out herself.

She's even teaching; she should just focus on learning how to do her job.

"What's with that distrustful look? I can be serious too, you know." Amano Aki put on a serious expression to prove that he was serious when he said this.

But in Kazuya Sawashiro's eyes, he was still a little fool.

"I know, I know, you can be very serious too. So can you seriously change your habit of hunching over without realizing it?" Kazuya Sawashiro casually pointed out Aki Amano's hunchback.

She straightened up just now, but then hunched over again; you could tell she'd really gotten used to it for a long time.

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it, it just happened naturally." Amano Aki said with a hint of helplessness, but straightened his back a little.

If this is how she'll be liked, then it's not that she can't try harder.

"I know, so don't force yourself," Ze Chenghe said, clapping his hands to comfort her, not ignoring her change. "The whole world knows that Qiu is a little hunchbacked, but you don't need to feel inferior because of it. Qiu is hunchbacked."

"I'm not actually that happy to hear you say that..." It's mainly because the nickname "Hunchback Qiu" isn't cute at all.

"I'm not saying this to make you happy."

"Why is that?"

"I just wanted to ask if you're interested in creating this persona. After all, an artist's persona is very important, and your hunchback is part of your charm." At this moment, Kazuya Sawashiro truly resembled the kind of manager who had no morals.

Suddenly I just didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"I'm not interested. Besides, I need to start class now, so please don't disturb me." Amano Aki tidied up the table, but didn't tidy up the table in front of Sawashiro Kazuya.

Are you throwing a tantrum?

Since Ze Cheng and Kazuya had already been bothered by her, there was no reason for them not to bother her in return.

Kazuya Sawashiro pretended not to hear what Aki Amano said, and asked her while resting his chin on his hand, "And what about you? What kind of boy do you like? You're 25 years old now, and I don't have any rules against dating here."

It's wrong to forbid dating, but since I work at the agency, I have to listen to the agency.

Kazuya Sawashiro also made his dissatisfaction with these ridiculous rules clear.

Ultimately, legitimate relationships won't cause any negative impact. As long as it's not about interfering in a marriage or a relationship, or dating a celebrity whose reputation is ruined, Ze Chenghe would only bother with such things if he had too much free time.
