Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 77 Nakajima Office

"No, I won't put new business in a state of uncertainty."

Misaki Tachibana shook her head; her opinion differed from Hiro Nakajima's.

"Nakajima, I think you're too conservative."

"While it's good to consider Asuka's future, she has just successfully announced her goal, which is probably the perfect time to generate buzz."

"Because of the current troubles, it feels a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

She pushed a bottle of tangerine tea aside and continued.

"Moreover, the previous disclosure proved that the enemy is not that powerful."

"As long as we are prepared, we can definitely protect her all the way."

"Of course, you definitely can't do it all by yourself..."

Hiroshi Nakajima interrupted her.

"If we follow the same cost structure as the last event, this project simply won't work."

"Furthermore, if we don't eliminate Kuroda Karito and allow him to continue causing destruction, it would be easy to ruin Asuka's reputation."

"I think it's better to be famous than to be unknown."

Misaki Tachibana certainly has a good eye. Although she has never worked in the live streaming industry, she understands the principle that "being famous even when you're not famous is still being famous."

"Of course, that child is now determined to trust you, but the final decision is up to you to consider."

"My proposal is that I will act as her investor, endorse her, and handle the legality, while you guys will make money for me."

As she spoke, she sat down next to Nakajima Hiroshi and leaned closer.

"This doesn't count as taking advantage of someone's misfortune, does it, Nakajima?"

The aroma of mandarin orange tea lingers.

In a sense, yes.

She herself thinks so.

The potential of Asuka Kirara can already be seen from just one disclosure.

Seeing that Nakajima Hiro's identity has not yet been confirmed, trying to take a share of the pie under the pretext that Asuka's life cannot be delayed does indeed seem a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

However, investment doesn't discriminate based on personal relationships.

Moreover, if Nakajima Hiroma's career were to fail, he could directly take over a minor celebrity with a high probability of success, which seemed like a great deal.

Moreover, this is indeed the best route for Asuka.

If Nakajima Hiroma is indeed considering Asuka's interests, as he claims, then he shouldn't be able to refuse this offer.

"I see."

Nakajima Hiro nodded: "However, I promised someone that I wouldn't transfer Asuka to someone else. Even if I did, I would have to discuss it with them first."

He was referring to Shigeru Yoshioka.

Misaki Tachibana was slightly disappointed.

Tch, what a hypocritical man.

Of course, it was only a little disappointing.

Having worked her way up from Ginza, she never had any real expectations of men.

So, skipping Onodera Mizuki, Nakajima Hiroshi went to Yoshioka Shigeru first.

"Misaki Tachibana..."

Shigeru Yoshioka sank into the sofa and thought for a while.

"That's something to consider. It's a real shame to leave Asuka idle right now."

"I believe that child is capable of facing some challenges."

"However, Misaki Tachibana is not an artist or manager after all, so it is not appropriate for her to be the sole investor. If you fail to stay, it will be like handing Asuka over to an amateur."

"My suggestion is to add a few more people to influence things, divide Misaki Tachibana's power, and make it clear that she will not participate in daily operations."

Shigeru Yoshioka sat up and looked at Hiroshi Nakajima: "Like me."

He stated frankly, "That way, even if you run into problems, I can still arrange for Asuka Karen to continue."

It seems... feasible?

I feel that Nakajima Hiroshi is worth studying.

Although the value of Asuka has begun to rise, it is unwise to delay any longer as there is no way to resolve the conflict between himself and Kuroda Karito.

Since Misaki Tachibana and Shigeru Yoshioka have both asked, Mizuki naturally can't be left out.

She spent a considerable amount of money on the disclosed items, and so far, she has not mentioned to Hiroshi Nakajima that she would pay for them.

Even if some cooperation doesn't go through, this is still a favor that cannot be ignored.

"No."

Mizuki had absolutely no intention of getting involved.

"Don't associate Asuka Kirara with me."

"Furthermore, we can only discuss our matter after your documents are legal."

As for money...

Meiyue lowered her eyelashes: "If you're willing to pay it back, please keep track of it for me first. If we have the opportunity to cooperate, I'll need money in the future."

In other words, cooperating with her would cause Meiyue to lose her current source of funding.

But she didn't elaborate, and Nakajima Hiroshi naturally knew he shouldn't ask further.

He simply nodded: "I understand."

then.

Hiroshi Nakajima holds 60%, while Misaki Tachibana and Shigeru Yoshioka each hold 20%.

The name used is still the original "Nakajima Office".

Misaki Tachibana and Shigeru Yoshioka were both indifferent to fame, one for investment and the other for art.

The documents were temporarily registered under Misaki Tachibana's name, but a supplementary agreement was signed to return them to Nakajima Hiro once his identity was properly secured.

During Nakajima Hiroshi's stay, neither of them participated in the operation.

However, if he is deported, the funds will be allocated separately by the two according to their investment, with Shigeru Yoshioka taking priority in making business decisions.

This is the contract in writing.

In reality, as a person under management, Hiroshi Nakajima is more like a high-level employee who takes the lion's share of the profits.

Only when his identity is confirmed can he truly become the boss of this "Nakajima Office".

In any case, Asuka's idol career can be continued without any further delays, and the agency is finally no longer a shady organization.

To be honest, although some profits are shared, this structure is much more reliable than that weird system.

Even now, the "In Preparation..." sign is still flashing intermittently, and it's unclear what it's preparing.

and……

"Nakajima!"

I can finally see Asuka Kirara.

Seeing the child pounce on him like an octopus, Nakajima Hiroshi's tense heart, which had been pounding for days, began to relax slightly.

"By the way, from now on, they are..."

Nakajima Hiroshi was about to reintroduce them and make it clear that Tachibana Misaki and Yoshioka Shigeru were his new bosses, but Tachibana Misaki patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him in time.

"Asuka, from now on you're one of us."

This guy is clearly going to say something that ruins the mood.

He's really gone crazy from being locked up in the police station.

"Hey, Misaki-neechan is one of us."

Asuka then realized there were two other people present and hurriedly let go of Nakajima Hiroshi, but Nakajima Hiroshi caught her to prevent her from bumping into something.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then buried her face back, her ears turning bright red.

Seeing this, Misaki Tachibana pursed her lips and changed the subject: "Now that we're free, let's go eat something good to celebrate."

"By the way, let's plan the development of Asuka Karen."

"And there's Mizuki-nee and Yukino-nee too!"

Asuka remembers kindness very well, and she hasn't forgotten anyone who helped her.

"Hmm... Nakajima, you paid for it... right?"

She seemed to realize something.

If this meal was organized by Tachibana Misaki, then it would be inappropriate for her to invite two other people on her own.

But if Hiroshi Nakajima pays, there shouldn't be any problem?

No, actually that's not appropriate either.

But Asuka subconsciously believed that she could make some decisions for Nakajima Hiro.

"Yes, I'll pay."

Nakajima Hiroshi smiled helplessly.

This silly child.

There's really nothing to discuss about Asuka's future, at least not with Tachibana Misaki.

What she probably wanted to talk about was how to deal with Kuroda Karito.
