Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

“That’s it?”

Asada Futaba's pretty face under her short hair couldn't help but reveal an expression of confusion.

Shouldn't we cut the Gordian knot and stop the spread of rumors in a timely manner, or simply hold an employee meeting to clarify the matter publicly?

"But, Mr. President..."

After hesitating for a while, Asada Futaba couldn't help but remind him, "I also heard that the rumor came from a certain supervisor. It's very credible. Basically, the whole company knows about it."

"If you continue like this, your reputation will surely plummet!"

Seeing his personal secretary looking hopeless, as if the world was about to end, Fujii Itsuki raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let the bullet fly for a while!"

"bullet?!"

"What...what do you mean? I don't quite understand..." Hearing this, the confusion in Asada Futaba's beautiful eyes deepened.

"Then come closer and I'll explain it to you."

"Oh well……"

Asada Futaba stepped out her slender legs wrapped in black stockings again and walked to the side of Fujii Itsuki. Thinking that he was going to tell her some important company secrets, she leaned over and put her small, white ear close to him.

The next second, the pain of having his ears grabbed made Asada Futaba's eyes squeezed and he couldn't help but gasp.

"hiss--"

"it hurts!"

At the same time, the young man's voice of disappointment came to his ears.

"……idiot!"

"When you go fishing, do you just catch one fish and then pack up and walk away?"

"So you want to play the long game and catch the big fish..."

"Is the department head just a small fry to him?"

After all, he was an excellent student at a higher education institution. While rubbing his rosy ears, Asada Futaba tried to understand the hidden meaning in Fujii Itsuki's words.

"This guy is so calm, no wonder he can become the vice president."

"But why don't you just tell me directly..."

"My ears are almost numb, this bastard president only knows how to bully people!"

"…The president is teaching me a lesson!"

Even though she was scolded harshly by Fujii Itsuki, Asada Futaba still had to put on a smile and gave a thumbs up to praise the other party for his powerful scolding.

"It's your own fault that you're slow to react and have too little experience!"

"If your sister Yiye comes over, she will definitely understand what I mean the first time." Crossing his legs, Fujii Itsuki picked up the pen next to the A4 paper again.

“It’s never going to end, is it?”

Asada Futaba's smile froze and the vein on his forehead jumped.

"You keep talking nonsense all day long. I'll take a day off and let my sister take over my shift for a day!"

"They are twins anyway, no one can recognize them!"

Of course, this was just a statement made in anger.

Asada Futaba always felt that something very bad would happen if her sister knew that she was working as a secretary and mistress for Fujii Itsuki.

"Mr. President, what are you doing?"

She changed the subject and looked down at the boy holding a pen at the desk.

Outside, KB Agency's promotion is in full swing, with stars big and small supporting Kaneda Teru's single. However, undercurrents are surging inside Matsumoto Agency, and enemies hiding in the dark are praising Fujii Itsuki highly, hoping to see him smashed to pieces.

At this time, Fujii Itsuki, the main character, stood still and remained calm, picking up his pen and continuing to write on the A4 paper.

"This is……"

"Are you writing lyrics?"

Lifting the short black hair that hung down from her ears, Asada Futaba stared intently at the page written by Fujii Itsuki.

""Fireworks", "Previous Lives", "Ultramarine"..."

"A new song?"

"Why haven't I heard any of these?"

"This is the firm's secret weapon. Now that you've seen it, keep it a secret!"

Looking up at Asada Futaba, Fujii Itsuki said in a threatening tone: "Otherwise, you can just wait to go to prison and reform yourself!"

"Yes, President!" After the lesson just now, Asada Futaba was obviously intimidated by him, and her slender and soft shoulders trembled slightly.

"Nothing, I'm leaving now..."

She tensed up and tiptoed towards the office door.

"Wait a minute, Futaba." Fujii Itsuki suddenly called Asada Futaba's name from behind.

Considering that the other party was concerned about him, he opened the drawer under the desk and took out a tube of white ointment.

"Here, wipe your ears and they won't be red anymore."

"During this period, you have been running around with me. Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. This year, I will give you an extra month's bonus."

"Ah?" After taking the ointment from Fujii Itsuki's hand and hearing his clear and pleasant voice, it was not only Asada Futaba's ears that turned red.

"Thank you, President!" There was an obvious teardrop mole under her right eye, and a thin blush appeared on her pretty face. After sincerely thanking Fujii Itsuki, she left the vice president's office with the ointment.

"strangeness……"

"I always feel like something is not right."

"He was the one who pulled my ears red, why should I thank him in the end?"

……

……

The Internet is flooded with publicity for KB Agency. In terms of size and connections, Matsumoto Agency is no match for KB Agency.

In order to achieve a crushing victory and break the last breath of Matsumoto Agency, the Kobayashi couple mobilized a lot of personal connections and invited popular singers and actors in the entertainment industry, as well as older friends with higher seniority to help promote Kaneda Teru.

This is the advantage of big agencies. As long as they are willing to support people, a third-tier artist like Kaneda Teru can get no less traffic and attention than Matsumoto Arina, who works hard to run announcements and appear on variety shows to increase her presence, by just a few popular seniors saying a few good words about him on social media.

……

Arakawa-ku, Kawachi Onoya.

"Come on, pretty and rich vixen sister!"

Lying on the bed with an iPad in her hands, Kawachi Ono, who already had a good impression of Matsumoto Arina who treated him to dinner, has now become a loyal fan of her fan club!

"I will buy a few more CDs to give to my friends as a way to pay back for the steak I bought last time!"

She spontaneously promoted Matsumoto Arina on social media while cheering for her idol.

……

Otaru City, Hokkaido.

In Hokkaido, more than 1000 kilometers away from Tokyo, Xiao Lai's heart was also worried about his young lady.

"Come on, young lady!"

"You're going to be a big star!"

The sound of several rich ladies chatting came from the living room of the villa. Xiao Lai, who was hiding in the kitchen alone, clasped his hands together and prayed for Matsumoto Arina and Fujii Itsuki from the bottom of his heart.

"Please, Mr. Fujii..."

"Please help Miss fulfill her wish to save Matsumoto Office!"

……

Be it an overnight success or dismal sales.

On December 12, Christmas Eve arrived as scheduled.

The price of Matsumoto Arina's CD is 1299 yen (≈65 RMB) for the regular version and 1999 yen (≈98 RMB) for the collector's edition. Because it is a single rather than an album, the price is relatively cheaper.

The single will be released simultaneously in record stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as in Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya and other cities at 12 a.m. Tokyo time on December 24. The electronic paid version will also be available on major music platforms.

Matsumoto Entertainment Building, Akasaka, Minato-ku.

At 7: in the morning, Fujii Itsuki braved the cold winter wind and arrived at Matsumoto's office early to take charge.

Not long after I arrived at the office, a girl with long chestnut hair, a tired face, and obviously did not get enough rest last night pushed open the door and walked in.

"Da da da."

"Fujii..." The long boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground. Matsumoto Arina, who was wearing a black Chanel-style dress, just walked into the office, and the noble temperament unique to a rich lady rushed towards Fujii Itsuki.

When she was in the company before, she either wore a suit jacket and trousers or a polo shirt and a skirt, trying her best to pretend to be a cold and difficult to get along with president.

It is rare for her to return to her original nature and become the pretty and beauty-loving young lady from a wealthy family.

The abnormal outfit, in a way, highlights Matsumoto Arina's current anxious mood.

"Good morning, I've got some food." Looking at the girl who slowly walked into the office, Fujii Itsuki greeted her softly.

"Merry Christmas."

"It's already this late, I can't be happy..."

Closing the door behind her, Matsumoto Arina replied listlessly.

She did not sit on the chair or the sofa, but pulled up the hem of her skirt and sat in Fujii Itsuki's arms very gracefully.

This proud and wealthy eldest daughter of the Matsumoto family, the stern president of an office that manages hundreds of employees, and the rising idol in the entertainment industry with hundreds of thousands of fans, now took off her disguise and rested her head gently on Fujii Itsuki's shoulder like a little girl who could not bear the pressure.

"Fujii..."

Miss Matsumoto Arina, who had a fight with Shimizu Rin in public and spent a night in the detention room of the Metropolitan Police Department, is strong at heart but a little tearful. How could she reveal her vulnerability to others?

But her heart was pounding, and she raised her pretty face nervously and said to Fujii Itsuki: "...I seem a little scared."

“What if the CD sales are bleak?”

"What are you afraid of? We have already done the analysis."

At this critical moment of sharing honor and disgrace, Fujii Itsuki did not pour cold water on Matsumoto Arina, but instead put one arm around Matsumoto Arina's soft waist and stroked the chestnut hair on her forehead with the other hand.

"10 guaranteed sales on the first day, 30 in the first week, in the first month, and a million-selling achievement within a year!"

The entertainment industry now is no longer the star-studded one of the 1980s, 1990s, with millions of CDs sold a year. Although he is not a top star, he is definitely a popular first-tier singer.

As soon as he debuted, he became a top star. Not many people in the entertainment industry have such treatment!

"Annual sales of one million..." Matsumoto Arina murmured softly.

"Can you really do this?"

People always subconsciously worry about things that have not been achieved. Although they have truly experienced the feeling of becoming famous overnight, there are many examples in the entertainment industry where the person is popular but the song is not, or the song is popular but the person is not.

If she fails and the CD sales do not meet expectations, can the alliance with Fujii Itsuki continue?

Even if it can be maintained, it will be difficult to continue for long without financial support.

"…You just worry too much."

Fujii Itsuki patted Matsumoto Arina's back gently as if to comfort her.

"It would be good to lower your expectations appropriately."

"It's the first single of an artist's career. If this one doesn't work, just go for the next one."

"Don't worry, you are so famous now, and we have already achieved half of our goal. No matter how we calculate it, we will not lose money."

"It seems so..." Hearing his comforting words, Matsumoto Arina's anxiety was immediately reduced a little.

"I figured it out, Fujii!"

"Even though you keep saying 'allies', in your heart, you still care about each other, just like me!"

"In that case..."

"Merry Christmas!"
