Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 111 Increase the Dosage

"I will comply with the company's arrangements."

(Did I do something wrong that made him unhappy?)

(It seems my emotional control has weakened recently; I'll increase the dosage when I get back.)

...No, Ms. Shiraishi, don't make such a decision so easily.

Hiroshi Nakajima quickly corrected him.

"I wanted to get Ms. Shiraishi's opinion, after all, you are a very mature artist."

"As you can see, our company is still building its team, and we don't have many people to consult with."

"I have a feeling that there are some hidden problems with Itomori-ya, but..."

(A seasoned artist?)

(If he were truly mature, he wouldn't have ended up in this state...)

(Sigh, I have plenty of experience with being taken advantage of, and this Itomori-ya is clearly a huge trap.)

(Well, everyone starts as a newbie. Let's just say a few symbolic words and see what this junior agent's eye for talent is like.)

She hesitated for a moment, organized her thoughts, and then spoke.

"Yes, Itomori-ya is undergoing a transformation, and everything is very unstable."

"The decision-making level and the execution level have completely different ideas, which will likely lead to a lot of accumulated conflicts."

"From the perspective of the partners, they are indeed very unstable partners."

"If it were another team, they would probably consider risk control."

"But it's not impossible to cooperate. As long as the degree of authorization is well managed, there are usually no major problems."

Although I felt really down inside, I still managed to say everything that needed to be said.

This……

Women are truly amazing creatures.

"Understood, we share the same view."

(This phrase probably comes from the Eastern saying "Great minds think alike," but Nakajima Hiroshi deliberately omitted the "hero" part...)

(Is it a lack of self-confidence, humility, or hypocrisy?)

Hiroshi Nakajima: "..."

How terrifying.

It's terrifying to be able to hear a woman's inner thoughts.

It's like being in a test all the time; you make a move and immediately get a real response from the other party.

The pressure is overwhelming.

Moreover, the fact that he says one thing but means another will quickly dispel any illusions about him.

It's best not to spread this ability indiscriminately; at least leave yourself some space to escape fantasy.

(Nakajima Hiroshi remained silent for a while.)

(Is that all? Just to confirm my idea?)

(Or was he trying to test something?)

(That's how relationships are between people; they always have to go through all sorts of roundabout ways, it's so troublesome.)

(Medication is still the best, hehe, medication won't betray me...)

"If Ms. Shiraishi were to participate in this collaboration, to what extent would you prefer to be involved?"

Nakajima Hiro felt that although Shiraishi Yu was gloomy, what he said made sense.

No, you can't say he has a gloomy mind.

Given her experience, it would be abnormal if she didn't have dark and depressed thoughts.

From another perspective, even though she was emotionally broken down like this, she was still able to maintain her politeness, which makes her a very strong woman.

Well, if you think about it that way, the situation isn't so bad.

Hiroshi Nakajima was trying to comfort himself.

Or rather, to excuse Shiraishi Yu's performance.

(I?)

(Should I go too?)

(Oh well, it shouldn't be a big problem for a preliminary collaboration. I'll just consider it earning some pocket money.)

(Damn it, I haven't even paid off the loan for the soundproofing panels yet.)

(Waaaaah, I want to die, I want to take my medicine.)

Such thoughts were swirling in my mind, but my words were quite reliable.

"My words..."

"After all, I'm a newcomer, so I respect the company's arrangements. However, I have very limited experience in collaborating with the clothing industry, so it's best not to go too deep into it at the beginning."

"clear."

Hiroshi Nakajima has already adapted to her situation.

Well, it seems that's how it is when communicating with Yu Shiraishi: what you think in your mind can only be used as a reference and supplement, and you can't think about it too deeply.

It's perfectly normal that no one in the world is perfect...

"I'd like to take this opportunity to update you on the situation here."

(Are they going to make empty promises?)

It really is.

Since Shiraishi Yu has only recently joined, they definitely need to offer him some promises.

However, you can't treat her like a newbie; you need to be skillful.

Nakajima Hiroshi presented three sets of materials: Momochi Momochi's real information, his own real interview forms, and ranking information he made up himself.

"Currently, the agency is a newly expanded platform. The previous owner had some connections with Mr. Yoshioka Shigeru, and I'm sure he mentioned it when he contacted you."

(No.)

"Yes, Professor Shigeru Yoshioka mentioned it."

……

This woman doesn't care about the company's background.

Or rather, she knew that all of this was illusory.

Let's skip to the next step.

"Since he has already told you, we won't go into details."

"Next, let me tell you about the resources in our family."

(Okay, let's start talking about how abundant our talent pool is.)

(I don't know what kind of newcomer would be fooled by this kind of talk. The more artists there are in the pipeline, the fewer opportunities you'll have.)

Makes sense.

This woman is indeed very clear-headed.

"Although it doesn't sound very appealing, we have a very limited pool of artists."

Your inner thoughts are still useful; they can help you decide the direction of communication in an instant.

(Um?)

(Is this guy out of his mind? How can he say something like this to a newbie?)

(However... there are a few truths to them, so let's hear them.)

"As you can see, our artists are mainly divided into three groups."

"This guy is Ginobili Sakaki who switched teams."

He started by focusing on the completely authentic parts.

"A manager named Momochi jumped over here with her subordinates."

"However, our actual relationship is not that of superior and subordinate, but rather a collaborative effort to develop artists."

"Therefore, they can only be regarded as external aid at present, not as core assets."

(It's clearly inappropriate to tell me this...)

(And most of the people who can get away with this are not good people.)

Nakajima Hiroshi narrowed his eyes.

This Shiraishi Yu has a terrible opinion of Sakaki Geino.

That makes sense, since it was Kuroda Karito of Sakaki Entertainment who stirred up the scandal back then.

She's been struggling with her own issues for so long, it's impossible for her to be completely unaware.

"Does Ms. Shiraishi remember Momochi Momochi?"

"No, I'm not familiar with it."

"But the fact that they were able to jump from a large company like Sakaki Geino to our company shows that we do have something to offer."

She gave a polite smile.

(Most of them couldn't make money illegally there, so they came to this small agency to find affiliation.)

(It's a small team, so it's understandable that they might try to ride on Sakaki's coattails.)

(Fine, let's just go along with what this guy is saying.)

Nakajima Hiroshi did not delve into this issue. Sakagi Geisha could involve Shiraishi Yu's scandals, and it wouldn't be a good thing if it stirred up too many unpleasant memories.

But he had to bring it up.

Because the plan for the foreseeable future revolves around Shiraishi Yu, at least to make her understanding of the company reach the level she desires.

Yes, I hope so...

Sakaki Geino is telling the truth here because this matter is the easiest to verify, but the rest is really just wishful thinking.

"These are all newly recruited staff, so they're unlikely to be put into use in the short term."

"But the company itself has investors, so we are not as conservative in recruiting new people as small firms with no foundation."

"As you can see, we interview almost everyone who comes up for a job every day."

(That's true...)

Yu Shiraishi glanced at the interview dates above; indeed, the recruitment pace was quite frequent.

"Based on the above situation, we will mainly outsource our business to Baidi Tao at present."

"For example, this time, for Itomoriya's business, they will directly borrow their artists."

"clear."

(What's the point of telling me all this...)

(If this were an ordinary newcomer, it would probably shatter their perception of the agency.)

(Oh dear, this Nakajima Hiroshi is completely useless; he has absolutely no experience as a manager.)

(However, it wasn't that hypocritical.)

(That's how it is for beginners; after a few setbacks in this industry, they'll probably become just like everyone else.)

(Oh well, I wasn't expecting to make much money here anyway. I'll just consider it an experience of a new company going wrong.)

...This woman seems to have already marked the Nakajima office as doomed to collapse sooner or later.

That makes sense, since his explanation was specifically tailored to Shiraishi Yu.

If it were any other newcomer, they would definitely be given empty promises and exploited thoroughly.

"As for this fight..."

Nakajima Hiroshi patted the set of materials he had made up.

These are the main attractions.
