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

Chapter 134 Sister-in-law, it's me!

Sakamoto ignored Mizuno and the other man and turned to greet the bureau chief.

His expression changed instantly.

He was enthusiastic and sincere, as if he had become a completely different person.

Hitomi Ono did her homework and whispered a hint in his ear.

Sakamoto Yu nodded with a smile, then reached out and shook hands with the bureau chief who came forward. "Chief Nakajima! I've finally met you in person!"

Director Nakajima paused for a moment, and Sakamoto Yu added at the opportune moment: "I've been watching TBS since I was a child, and I have a deep affection for it. And I heard that '8 PM All Together' is one of your masterpieces?"

I really loved that show, and meeting you today is such a dream come true!

Director Nakajima paused for a moment, then his smile became more genuine.

"Not at all, not at all. The fact that the audience likes it is the greatest compliment to me!" He waved his hands repeatedly, his smile growing even wider.

At that time, he was a producer in his thirties at the peak of his career, serving as the director of this program.

Although he didn't know if the other person was flattering him, he was very pleased that they took the time to remember it.

Nakajima couldn't stop smiling.

"I really love the work atmosphere at TBS," said Yu Sakamoto enthusiastically. "I would definitely like to appear on their shows."

"However, my agent isn't here, so I can't discuss this privately—how about this, I'll definitely talk to my agent when I get back and ask him to give you priority consideration."

The leader nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, we'll wait for your news!"

Nakajima didn't intend to reach any conclusions in just a few words; he was simply there to make an appearance and gain favor.

Sakamoto Yu smiled and nodded.

Then, as if he had just remembered that there were people around, he glanced at the flower basket on the ground, then at his boss, and said casually, "By the way, boss, I have a suggestion. This corridor is indeed a bit narrow."

Johnny's flower baskets are so big, there's nowhere for the fans to stand!

As he spoke, he looked at Mizuno and the other two, his smile undiminished.

"These two are newcomers at my firm. I'm so sorry to have knocked over your flower baskets."

Sakamoto Yu's smile was natural, but Mizuno felt a chill in her heart.

The agent swallowed hard; he seemed to understand the feeling of "Bunshun".

Director Nakajima understood perfectly.

He feigned surprise, glanced at the flower basket, then at the Johnny's idols, and gave an awkward smile: "I'll have someone take a look later."

The bureau chief did not show favoritism, but this neutrality only made the situation more difficult to resolve.

Mizuno's manager is really worried now.

"What's wrong? Please tell me." Sakamoto Yu looked at Mizuno and asked softly, "You just said you were what in Johnny's?"

The idol opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The agent immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle: "Sakamoto-san, I'm so sorry! It was our ignorance that caused us to offend your people."

The flower basket incident wasn't the young man's fault at all; it was because we placed it in the wrong spot.

Even though Mizuno was impulsive, he could now see that the other party's status and position were not something he could afford to offend.

He wanted to interject and defuse the situation, but Sakamoto Yu controlled the pace of the whole thing, giving him no way out and leaving him speechless.

The manager lowered his voice and said to the idol, "Say something."

The idol gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

After holding it in for several seconds, he stammered, "This is partly my fault... I'm sorry."

The leader then smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Oh, it's nothing. It's a corridor, bumping into each other is normal. I've accidentally knocked someone over before."

"I'll say hello to Johnny's, it's alright, it's alright."

Sakamoto Yu didn't say anything more; he glanced at Nishikawa and Saito.

The two immediately lowered their heads, unable to meet each other's gaze.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Nakajima said goodbye and left.

Mizuno and her manager naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Just then, Mizuno spotted a tall figure walking down the corridor.

A surge of excitement welled up inside him, along with Nakamori Akina.

Everyone knows she's Kondo's girlfriend.

Kondo is a top idol at Johnny's Entertainment.

Mizuno glanced at Sakamoto and the others, a barely suppressed smile playing on his lips. He shook off his manager, stepped forward, and waved, calling out, "Nakamori-san! Nakamori-san!"

Everyone turned to look at the sound, and their expressions immediately varied.

When Nishikawa saw the other person, his eyes widened, his cheeks slowly turned red, and his eyes were filled with infatuation and passion.

Saito, an "insider," suddenly changed his expression and glanced at Sakamoto with some concern.

Mizuno's manager, who had initially wanted to stop Mizuno, also stopped what he was doing.

He recognized the person and felt instantly at ease—the girlfriend of his top artist wouldn't help an outsider, right?

Akina Nakamori has quite a temper; even before she became famous, she dared to confront directors head-on and would absolutely refuse to wear costumes she wasn't satisfied with.

It was only in recent years, due to matters of the heart, that her personality changed.

At the other end of the corridor, Akina Nakamori, wearing a beige trench coat, looked over when she heard the sound.

Mizuno was in high spirits and was about to speak again.

Nakamori's gaze passed over him and landed on Sakamoto Yu.

Hitomi Ono turned her head and saw who the newcomer was.

My initial anxiety immediately subsided.

A smile played on his lips, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. Of all people to ask, why did he have to ask Nakamori Akina?

"Sakamoto-san?"

His voice was uncertain, and his tone was tentative.

Sakamoto Yu turned his head.

When Nakamori saw his face clearly, his eyes lit up immediately.

She didn't look at Mizuno again and walked straight towards Sakamoto.

"It really is you." She smiled warmly, her tone affectionate. "Long time no see."

"It's only been two days, hasn't it?" Sakamoto Yu's tense expression softened when he saw the person who came.

The corridor was still noisy, but the small circle of Sakamoto Yu was quiet.

Mizuno's smile froze on her face, her raised hand still in place.

Mizuno's manager was also stunned, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word.

Nishikawa stared wide-eyed at Nakamori and then at Sakamoto, completely unaware of what had happened.

Saito was also stunned.

His gaze lingered between Nakamori and Sakamoto, his brow furrowing slightly as he vaguely sensed something.

Nakamori stood in front of him, his eyes shining: "I thought your back looked like mine even from a distance."

Sakamoto Yu's expression returned to calm, and his gaze fell on Mizuno.

Mizuno finally came to his senses, and the expression on his face changed from expectation to astonishment.

Akina Nakamori was someone he had invited, but she didn't give him a second glance from beginning to end.

"Nakamori-san?" Mizuno asked tentatively.

Nakamori Akina then noticed that there was someone else with Sakamoto Yu.

I glanced at him and felt he looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who he was.

"Who are you?" Akina Nakamori asked instinctively.

Akina Nakamori gave Sakamoto Yu a look that seemed to ask, "Do you know him?"

"You don't know him?" This time it was Sakamoto Yu's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Nakamori-san." Mizuno was getting a little anxious. "I, I'm Naoya Mizuno from Johnny's MAGICWIND."

"I was cheering you on from the audience during your previous performances with Kondo-san."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Ono Hitomi and the others were speechless. With this kind of relationship, you dare to call people over?

Sakamoto Yu breathed a sigh of relief. So it turns out I was dealing with this kind of jerk.

Mizuno stood there, her face turning red and white in turns, as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water in public.

The manager strode over, grabbed Mizuno's arm, and whispered, "Let's go."

Mizuno was being pulled forward, introducing himself as he passed Nakamori.

When the sound disappeared at the end of the corridor, Hitomi Ono almost couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not really that familiar with him. There are too many idols in Johnny's, and I've probably only met him once or twice."

Sakamoto Yu nodded. An agency the size of Johnny's has launched countless groups, some of which were once extremely popular, some were short-lived, and some, like Mizuno, were lukewarm at best.

Using the Johnny's name, they have countless instances of taking advantage of others' influence.

If others are unsure about Johnny's attitude, they should avoid provoking them if possible.

Akina Nakamori stared at Yu Sakamoto's profile, pursed her lips, and started a conversation: "You've been very busy lately, haven't you? I saw your GG—"

Hitomi Ono glanced around at the surroundings, then leaned between the two and whispered, "Everyone around is watching."

Sakamoto Yu, with a gentle expression, recited a series of numbers.

Akina Nakamori immediately understood and nodded with a slight smile.

Hitomi Ono looked at the two of them with a blank expression.

"Then I'll be going now." Nakamori Akina suppressed the light in her eyes, politely greeted the others, and left on her own initiative.

Nishikawa sighed regretfully, realizing he had been so engrossed in looking at the book that he had forgotten to ask for an autograph.

Saito lowered his head, remained silent for several seconds, and finally said in a low voice, "—Sakamoto-senpai, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Nishikawa was taken aback, then immediately apologized, "Sakamoto-senpai, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

A basement warehouse near Shibuya Public Hall that Johnny & Associates once rented.

The place is small and is filled with the smell of smoke all year round.

The sofa is old, and the ashtray is always full.

This is where Johnny's idols relax in private.

During breaks from practice, while waiting for announcements, or when there's nothing else to do, people gather here to smoke, chat, and exchange information.

Whose agent is difficult to deal with, which TV station's director is hard to talk to, who's going to be on which show recently—these things spread faster here than anywhere else.

When Mizuno pushed the door open and came in, there were already several people sitting inside.

He didn't look well.

Someone glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong? Who upset you?"

Mizuno didn't say anything, but took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

He took a puff before speaking: "I ran into Sakamoto Yu at TBS."

"Sakamoto Yu?" The man's interest was piqued. "That guy who takes pictures of GG? How did you run into him?"

Mizuno recounted what happened in the corridor.

When he spoke of Nakamori, his voice lowered: "Nakamori-san is here too; she's standing over there on the Sakamoto side."

The smoking room was quiet for a moment.

Someone flicked their cigarette ash but didn't reply.

Toshihiko Tahara stood up from a corner.

He was wearing a black jacket and holding a cigarette case. When he saw Mizuno, he waved.

"come over."

Mizuno walked over.

Toshihiko Tahara is a veteran of Johnny's Entertainment and was once in the same group as Kondo – the Tahara Trio.

The two were very close, and although they were currently in a competitive relationship, upon hearing that Nakamori had sided with an outsider, they had to find out the truth.

"What happened?" Tahara lit a cigarette.

Mizuno recounted the story again.

After listening, Tian Yuan remained silent.

"Don't worry about this."

He glanced at Mizuno, finished speaking, and turned to leave the smoking room.
