Chapter 125 Coercion
"Nakajima, we can't just passively defend; we have to find a way to stop their offensive."
As soon as Shiraishi Yu was substituted, he went straight to Nakajima.
Even she was starting to get tired, let alone the outsiders who had been invited.
I'm afraid we'll have to pay more to quell their discontent.
"I know."
Nakajima Hiroshi pondered, "I'm thinking about the reasons for Momochi Momo's betrayal."
"What's there to worry about? She was in cahoots with Kuroda from the beginning."
Misaki Tachibana came closer.
"No."
"If Momochi Momo is a member of Sakaki Entertainment, she should have fabricated a different resume from the beginning, such as some empty shell team, etc. Anyway, it's hard for me to tell."
Nakajima Hiroshi pondered.
"Furthermore, I've investigated Momochi Momo, and she doesn't get along with Kuroda Karito."
"Or rather, within Sakaki Entertainment, most of the managers have a very bad relationship with Kuroda."
"After all, for Hei Tian, snatching artists, blocking resources, and vicious competition are commonplace, and his reputation is very bad."
"and then?"
"I suspect that Sakaki Entertainment is very wary of artists using their talents for personal purposes, and Kuroda probably used this as leverage to force Momochi to compromise."
Even if your guess is correct... so what?
Misaki Tachibana frowned deeply: "Betrayal is betrayal, the reason doesn't matter."
"Nakajima Hiroshi, you're not going to make excuses for the enemy at this time, are you?"
"Of course not."
Nakajima Hiroshi shook his head: "I think if she could betray Kuroda Karito for this reason in the beginning, she should be able to turn against us for the same reason now."
"How so?"
"I suspect that Kuroda Karito was able to threaten her mostly because her artists were indeed preparing to take on private jobs, which is an undeniable fact that would be exposed if someone reported it."
"But the other side is unlikely to have any solid evidence."
"In other words, Kuroda's threat to Momochi is now zero."
"We still have two cooperation agreements in our hands. Whether it's Momochi switching agencies or the private use of artists, they should both pose a significant threat to her."
Misaki Tachibana remained silent for a moment.
"This is just speculation; it might work, but..."
"How were the test results?"
Yu Shiraishi suddenly spoke up.
"It will take a very long time; there simply isn't enough time."
"Lie to them and say that the inspection was just a prank, and that every piece of clothing was carefully checked so there would be absolutely no risk."
"The key issue with this mess is that it affects morale and makes everyone feel uncomfortable. Actually, things like needle pricks are easy to investigate."
"Of course, the inspection must be done carefully, and I also have a responsibility to my friend."
"feasible."
Misaki Tachibana looked at Hiro Nakajima.
Nakajima Hiroshi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Actually, he had considered this matter himself, but since the artist was Shiraishi Yu's resource, only she herself could bring it up.
For anyone else, this would be considered being generous with other people's money.
Speaking of which, ever since things got tense, Shiraishi Yu's pheromones haven't been showing up for a long time.
"Also, Asuka's performance is coming up soon, shouldn't we make some preparations?"
"Kuroda Karihito will definitely take action against her."
The bettor scheduled Asuka's performance during the lunch break when the audience was at their busiest; they clearly had high hopes for the child.
"Let's set up a decoy and trick them into revealing their methods."
"Ms. Shiraishi, we still need to trouble your artists to perform a show in the name of Asuka. That should be able to trick them into doing something and ease the pressure."
Although it has a hint of being a reliable source of trouble, there's not much that can be done right now.
"clear."
Shiraishi nodded in agreement.
"If we're going to put on a show, we need to go all out. Since Asuka is about to appear, we need to tighten our defenses backstage to give Kuroda Karito a reason to believe us."
"After all, this kid's figure is just too eye-catching; the other side will realize something's wrong as soon as he goes on stage."
Actually, some of the artists brought by Shiraishi Yu are tall and slender. A high ponytail and heavy makeup might be enough to fool them for a while.
But she has a point; to ensure everything goes smoothly, you have to go all the way.
"it is good."
"Furthermore, to convince Kuroda, we need to create some openings."
"For example, let the fake Asuka be accidentally exposed on the surveillance while waiting, and then be hurriedly blocked by the staff."
"clear."
The two began furtively filling in the details.
Kuroda's department.
"Boss, they're keeping a tight grip on the announcer's entrance and exit; it's impossible to get anyone to speak to them."
Kuroda Karito was also anxious about this.
He somewhat regretted handing over the announcer.
Although this woman is a fool, once she's in Nakajima Hiroshi's hands, it's as if the other party can change the order of events at will.
"The performance of Asuka Hanabikami should be close to noon."
Although I'm not entirely sure, it's highly likely to be true.
Because the future minister had also compiled a program schedule, in which Asuka's show was marked with a different color, indicating that she was indeed the main performer for that show.
"Monitor their movements. I thwarted that woman's attempt to seduce me once, so Nakajima Hiroshi will likely be on guard..."
Just then, another subordinate came to report.
"Boss, the other side's people are making moves."
"The entrance and exit for celebrities have suddenly become more heavily guarded, and those pretty boys have also blended into the audience. It seems like they're setting up a defense."
"Hmph, an idiot is an idiot."
Kuroda Karito snorted coldly.
"Isn't this blatantly telling us that important actors are about to appear?"
"Get our men ready. I want that ungrateful woman to know what the consequences are of refusing me!"
"yes!"
The only basis for both sides to judge each other's movements seems to be the monitored area.
"Chris, do you know where Kuroda-sensei is?"
In front of Chris, Nakajima Hiroshi still showed great respect to Kuroda Karito, since, based on the current situation, Kuroda should be considered the organizer.
He was editing text messages and emails for Momochi while communicating with Chris on the other end of the line.
"Mr. Kuroda should be in the control room."
Chris didn't even look up; he was busy too. Even though he was sent to coordinate the performance, he still had to prepare reports for the female leaders.
Even the water wasn't spared; before the show started, Chris changed the water in the office to a new bottle.
Oh dear, the blessings and trials given are too much!
"If you need anything, I can help you get in touch."
No, not at the moment.
Even if you have any ideas, you can't speak frankly to this powerful client who's essentially a water carrier.
Edit and send.
Whether Bai Di Tao will respond remains to be seen, but we'll give it a shot, no matter what.
The performance is now more than halfway through, and after the plan to deceive the artists was implemented, other people have also joined the performance one after another.
After all, it involves Shiraishi Yu's personal favor, so we have to give him some face.
If the next match can trick Kuroda into revealing his methods against Asuka, the matter will basically be settled.
Of course, it would be even better if Momochi could play a role.
For example, forcing Kuroda Karito to return, or even causing him some trouble.
