"I'm in Tokyo, and this is some kind of movie star comeback system?!"

Chapter 104 Buying Land

After leaving the "Human World" crew, Sakamoto Yu took a chauffeured van to the set of "Mom is an Idol".

He immersed himself in the fast-paced filming process, getting his makeup done, changing costumes, and getting into position.

Starting at seven in the morning, he was constantly switching between filming, changing locations, changing costumes, and starting filming again.

During a break in filming, Miho Nakayama thoughtfully bought him another extravagant eel rice bowl, and the two ate dinner together in the lounge.

Miho Nakayama rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at the way Sakamoto Yu ate heartily.

Since that kiss, Miho Nakayama's acting performance has skyrocketed; to put it bluntly, she's completely immersed in her role.

It was as if the wife from the play had come to life; her performance in emotional scenes was incredibly natural.

Director Endo was happy to see this happen. As long as the filming schedule was fine, he didn't care at all. He was used to actors developing feelings for each other on set.

But as time went on, Kumiko Goto also realized that something was wrong with their relationship.

She's now very close to Shizuka Kudo and they've become good friends, so she feels she needs to get to the bottom of this.

After filming a scene with Miho Nakayama, she went straight to her.

After a frank confrontation, Miho Nakayama didn't hide anything and openly admitted, "Yes, I'm pursuing him."

Upon hearing this, Kumiko Goto was stunned.

Afterwards, Miho Nakayama closed the door to the lounge and talked to her alone for a long time. No one outside the family knew exactly what they talked about.

That same day, Miho Nakayama told Yu Sakamoto about it and said she wanted to talk to Shizuka Kudo.

Of course, Sakamoto Yu couldn't let them meet, so he stopped the matter altogether.

The next day, when he arrived at the film set, he first went to see Kumiko Goto and used a little trick to temporarily calm her down.

Actually, the method is very simple: just promise to take her for a run on the mountain trails.

Kumiko Goto has a strong interest in racing.

He was a big fan of racing, and when he heard that Sakamoto Yu had endorsed Nissan sports cars and raced on the mountain roads of Karuizawa, his eyes lit up instantly. He kept pestering him to try it out, and Sakamoto Yu readily agreed.

As for Shizuka Kudo, Yu Sakamoto had already come up with a plan.

These private negotiations and compromises were settled in just a few days, and the three of them tacitly reached an understanding.

Back to tonight, Miho Nakayama and Yu Sakamoto are nestled in the lounge eating eel rice.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and then a figure peeked out. Goto Kumiko, drawn by the aroma, came closer.

After a quick bite, Sakamoto Yu returned to filming, and it wasn't until late at night that he left the set in a van.

Both women have work tomorrow, so their manager took them home to rest.

When I got home, it was already past midnight. After taking a shower, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the bed.

The next day, he was woken up by the alarm clock. After resting in bed for a while, he struggled to get up and wash.

Sakamoto Yu went downstairs and hailed a taxi. This morning at ten o'clock, he was unusually free; he didn't need to go to the film set until the afternoon, and then to another one in the evening.

Simply put, he's working the night shift today.

I got up early because I had an appointment with the section chief of the real estate department, and also with Shizuka Kudo.

He first took a taxi to a high-end coffee shop in Ginza.

Pedestrians on the street were wrapped in coats and hurried along.

When Sakamoto Yu got out of the taxi, he looked up at the sign of the coffee shop.

It was written in French, which he didn't recognize and had no interest in understanding.

As you push open the door, the aroma of coffee beans wafts out from the warm air.

A waiter approached him, and after he gave his name, the waiter immediately gave him a professional smile and led him through the lobby to the innermost booth.

A man in a dark gray suit stood up in the window seat.

He was in his early fifties, with gray hair, a straight posture, and few wrinkles on his face, but very noticeable eye bags.

They look like the type who works overtime all year round and doesn't get enough sleep.

Upon seeing Sakamoto Yu, he bowed slightly, a small but perfectly measured movement.

Upon seeing Sakamoto Yu, he quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"Hello, Sakamoto-san. This is Yamazaki from Mitsubishi Fudosan."

Sakamoto Yu nodded and shook hands with him. The other man's hand was dry, and his grip was just right.

"Please sit down."

He waited for Sakamoto Yu to sit down before he sat down himself.

The waiter handed over the menu. Sakamoto glanced at it and ordered a black coffee. Yamazaki ordered sencha.

Yamazaki took a folder out of his briefcase, opened it, and pushed it in front of Sakamoto.

"In Odaiba East, there is an old warehouse on the ground floor, with a monthly rent of about 120,000 yen and a total price of 37 million yen."

Yamazaki got straight to the point, "This is the one you had your eye on before; the price has already been agreed upon."

Sakamoto Yu picked up the document and started flipping through it from the beginning.

Land registration number, registered area, current status...

He then flipped through the attached materials, which showed land price trends and transaction cases over the past three years.

Yamazaki didn't urge him, and quietly drank his sencha.

He silently observed the young man before him.

He had seen him on TV; he was in the currently airing drama "One-Eyed Dragon Masamune".

Yamazaki has received numerous real estate investments from celebrities and artists.

Just last month, Hiroshi Abe invested in several Tokyo apartments through him.

Even the land invested in by Yasuko Sawaguchi passed through his hands.

These days it's crazy; from top celebrities to ordinary office workers, almost no one can resist the allure of real estate.

Sakamoto Yu closed the file and pushed the folder back to the center of the desktop.

"Will the deposit be paid through the security account?"

Sakamoto Yu's words interrupted Yamazaki's thoughts, and he quickly came back to his senses.

"Of course." Yamazaki put down his teacup. "The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi issues the guarantee directly, and the funds do not go into our company's account."

Sakamoto Yu nodded and picked up a pen to sign.

Yamazaki did not immediately push the meal contract over.

He flipped through the documents, pulled out a page, and pushed it in front of Sakamoto Yu.

"Sakamoto-san, let's confirm the plans regarding the down payment and loan first, to avoid any misunderstandings later."

"The total price is 37 million, with a 20% down payment. The remaining 29.6 million will be loaned by Mitsubishi Bank."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Our legal department can handle all the loan procedures for you."

This includes a personal credit loan to cover the down payment.

You only need to come once, when you formally sign the contract.

Sakamoto Yu nodded, picked up a pen, flipped to the "intended person" section of the meal contract, and signed his name.

Yamazaki took the document, glanced at the signature, and put it into the folder. "Sakamoto-san, regarding the loan, if you trust us, we can handle the whole process for you." He paused, lowering his tone slightly, "We can take care of everything for you."

You only need to come once when signing the contract, and Mitsubishi Realty's legal department will handle all the remaining procedures, including bank coordination, document submission, and mortgage registration.

We have a dedicated counter at Mitsubishi Bank; it uses an institutional-to-institutional channel, which is much faster than individual applications.

Sakamoto Yu glanced at him.

Yamazaki Misakamoto didn't speak, but added with certainty, "The funds go through the bank's deposit protection account. Your money never goes into our company's account."

According to the "Residential Land and Building Transaction Law", the deposit is fully guaranteed by a financial institution - the bank will issue you a guarantee directly.

Even if our company goes bankrupt tomorrow, your money will still be in the bank, not a penny less.

Sakamoto Yu nodded.

"it is good."

He picked up his coffee, drank it all in one gulp, and stood up.

"Let me know when the signing date is set."

"Yes. Take care, Sakamoto-san."

Yamazaki bowed slightly to see him off.
