Tokyo bubble life

"Ah Bai!"

Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, suddenly slapped the steering wheel, and Otomo Yoshimura, who was sitting in the passenger seat and regretted not saying more to his idol, was startled.

Even Taro, who was lying on his back in the back seat, pricked up his ears.

"What's wrong? Did you hit someone?" Otomo Fangcun looked around.

"No!" Nagayama Naoki was a little irritated, "I just forgot one thing."

"What's up?"

"I promised to get a signed record for Akina and I didn't think about it at all!" Naoki Nagayama patted his forehead.

"That's all?" Yoshimura Otomo breathed a sigh of relief, "After this happens, just ask the Kobe Entertainment Club for a few tickets!"

Although "The Continuous Stream" was given to Misora ​​Hibari as a gift, there was no creation fee at most, and it does not mean that it was also a gift to Kobe Entertainment Club. The cumulative sales of this song's records are at least one million, and even Is there anything more than giving free money to Kobe Entertainment Club?

Therefore, we will definitely negotiate with Kobe Entertainment Club on the sharing of songs and sign a formal contract.

"So today we will go to Kobe City and stay overnight?"

Nagayama Naoki is currently in Rokuroso Town, Ashiya City. It takes about twenty minutes to drive to Kobe. He drove over from Kyoto at noon and stayed at Misora ​​Hibari's house for a while. It was almost evening when he arrived in Kobe.

"Well, since I'm here in Kobe, of course I have to try Kobe beef and Akashi-yaki!" Otomo Yoshimura was also looking forward to it.

"Okay, let's find a hotel to stay one night and go back tomorrow." Forget it if you want to play. A handsome young man like Nagayama Naoki and a middle-aged man will be misunderstood if they go out to tourist attractions together!

The two people who ran away under the pretext of a business trip agreed to extend their vacation.

On the other side, Hibari Misora ​​listened to Masahiro Ikegami, the head of the Kobe Entertainment Club, talk about the disputes within the Nagayama family and the Yamaguchi-gumi.

"Is KTV actually making so much money? The other team leaders are all excited. Do you want to pressure the Fourth Generation to give up on the promise to the Nagayama team?"

Misora ​​Hibari was very curious. The KTV's revenue could actually make many team leaders boo.

However, this time, in addition to Misaka Takahiro, the main leader of the Chinese team of the East Asia Conference, other direct team leaders were also making noises. Even the team leaders who did not speak were probably just waiting for opportunities.

"What a headache!" Misora ​​Hibari hammered the song "Continuous Flow" on the table, "I know it's hard to return such an expensive gift!"

However, after complaining, Misora ​​Hibari still used her brain to think about the context. Her relationship with the third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi made her understand the internal style of the Yamaguchi-gumi very well.

"The naming ceremony of the Fourth Generation will be about next month. However, only 40 direct team leaders will participate in the consolidation of the cup, and there are more than 20 team leaders who support the former acting team leader Yamamoto Hiroshi."

In other words, the opponent is very strong, and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the fourth generation name-taking ceremony!

Recently, at the Tian Gang Residence, the fourth generation Takenaka Masahisa and the third generation sister Taoka Fumiko are frequently meeting with the team leaders and younger brothers. On the one hand, they are strengthening emotional ties, and on the other hand, they are also trying to impress those team leaders who may be wavering.

"If the Yondaime is in desperate need of prestige and something happens that he fails to keep his promise," Misora ​​Hibari seemed to know how he should repay this gift of thanks.

So, she immediately called Fumiko Taoka.

"Sister Fumiko."

Misora ​​Hibari screamed very affectionately, and she was only 9 years old when Kazuo Tagoka took a fancy to Misora ​​Hibari's aura.

Having been together for many years, Kazuo Taoka, who is in his 40s, regards her more as a daughter, while Fumiko Taoka is slightly younger and is equivalent to Misora ​​Hibari's eldest sister.

"Wazueda-chan!" Misora ​​Hibari's original name is Kato Kazue, but now only a few people close to her know this name. "Why did you call me all of a sudden?"

"Because I am going to the Kobe Entertainment Club to discuss a song today, I want to visit Sister Fumiko tonight." Hibari Misora ​​certainly knows how busy Taoka Di is lately, "But I heard that Taoka Di is very busy recently, so I called in advance. Call and ask.”

"Ah, no matter how busy I am, I won't stay until night." Fumiko Taoka said, "I haven't seen Kazueda-chan in a long time!"

"Hey, I'll come over after I finish talking with the entertainment club~"

After Hibari Misora ​​put down the phone, she asked the maid to tell the driver to prepare the car.

We couldn't talk much when we went to the Kobe Entertainment Club. In fact, we could all talk on the phone. It was just that I fell in love with the song "Continuous Streaming" and wanted the entertainment club to have good communication with Shu Friends and sign a contract as soon as possible.

As the first artist of the Kobe Entertainment Club, and with her current fame and status, she doesn't have to worry about any objections from the Entertainment Club.

The rest is just how to inadvertently remind Taoka Fumiko from the side.

If you want to eat Kobe beef, of course you have to use Teppanyaki to best reflect the original flavor of the beef!

After Naoki Nagayama found a high-end hotel with pets, he and Otomo Yoshimura came to the Sannomiya main store of Teppanyaki Mouriya.

In front of the long iron kitchen counter, there are seats like a bar, and there is a chef inside the kitchen counter.

When ordering, a whole piece of raw steak is placed in front of you. On the tender beef, delicate fat patterns are closely arranged on the cut surface, dyeing the originally red beef pink like snowflake patterns.

After you order other side dishes, the professional chef will cut the ingredients in front of you and use the heat of the iron plate to quickly cook.

The tender beef cubes sizzle on the iron plate, and the aroma of oil and wagyu beef are entangled with each other and attack the customer, instantly arousing feedback from the mouth.

"Naoki-san, Kobe's wagyu beef is excellent!" Yoshimura Otomo said while drinking some wine and eating side dishes.

"Yeah. I heard it melts in your mouth."

At this time, the sizzling beef cubes were ready, with just the right amount of meat cubes. The sauce condensed on the surface, slightly charred, and exuded a strange aroma.

Nagayama Naoki took the steaming beef cubes and stuffed it into his mouth. He gently pressed the tender beef with his teeth. A stream of fresh and sweet gravy seemed to spurt out, mixing with the slightly salty sauce to make people feel... Mouth full of saliva.

After chewing it for a few times, you can see that the delicate meat quality is not as melt-in-your-mouth, but it is not far behind. The rich fat and beef are minced together, which is the meaty aroma that every meat eater can't stop.

The few beef cubes quickly disappeared as Nagayama Naoki's mouth kept closing, followed by mushrooms, carob, shrimp crackers and other side dishes.

When the chef saw that the guest was so hungry, he quickly speeded up the cooking. The next sizzling steak was cut into three large pieces, and you could still see the bright red meat in the middle.

Naoki Nagayama can enjoy delicious Wagyu beef again!

After ordering a little something, Nagayama Naoki chatted with Yoshimura Otomo while eating:

"Otomo-san, do you want to go to the Kobe Entertainment Club tomorrow?"

"There's nothing interesting there. It's just a small room, a few desks and phones, and at most some printers." Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, "The best thing about Kobe Entertainment Club is inviting other artists. At that time, other firms did not dare to refuse, and record companies and distributors did not dare not to pay.”

“So of course you don’t have to worry about decorating the headquarters, it’s enough to have an office~”

"Haha, that's right." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

Those firms with luxuriously decorated headquarters spend money on appearance so as to show their strength. Where is the Kobe Entertainment Club, which can have enough confidence simply by relying on the Yamaguchi-gumi's reputation.

"Then we go back to the hotel directly later? Go back to Tokyo directly tomorrow?"

"Well, the future contracts and other matters will be settled through email." Fangcun Otomo didn't care. The singer's share and other things were all agreed upon. If there are any adjustments that need to be made, they can be explained in the email.

"It's a pity. I originally wanted to visit the club in Kobe~ I heard it's very famous."

"club?"

Fangcun Otomo's eyesight brightened. A middle-aged man whose family is controlled by a tigress is happiest when he goes to these places where he can relax!

What's more, the tigress is thousands of miles away!

"Ahem, Zhi Shusang, I think it's actually not too late and I won't be able to sleep if I go back too early."

"."

Tian Gang Residence.

As the last meeting leader left with his younger brother, only the fourth generation Takenaka Masahisa, who was about to become famous, and his closest brothers were left in this luxurious villa.

It was dinner time, and the servants had already prepared delicious dishes for the core Yamaguchi-gumi members to enjoy.

Originally, Taoka Fumiko entertained Yamaguchi-gumi members like this in the early days of Yamaguchi-gumi, so having dinner at Tagoka Residence was no longer a strange thing for the team members.

Naturally, Masahisa Takenaka did not eat with his younger brothers, but ate with Fumiko Taoka in another room. During this time, they would eat together and discuss various matters regarding the naming ceremony at the dinner table.

But something is different today, because Hibari Misora ​​is also having dinner together.

As the loyal younger brother of the previous generation Taoka Kazuo, Takenaka Masahisa naturally knew Misora ​​Hibari, and also knew that she was the pillar of the Kobe Entertainment Society, the most profitable artist, and an important money bag of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Hibari Misora ​​is not too familiar with Masahisa Takenaka, who is about to take over the fourth generation, but after all, he is the next leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, so Hibari Misora ​​still maintains a respectful attitude.

Taoka Fumiko enlivened the atmosphere at the dinner table: "Kazueda-chan stopped by to see me today, which relaxed my recently tense nerves a lot~"

"Sister Fumiko, you will feel a lot more relaxed when the naming ceremony of Team Leader Takenaka is completed." Misora ​​Hibari comforted her.

"It can't be that easy. The team leaders of the Yamaguchi group all have their own thoughts. The direct team leader who was finally convinced is still making trouble." Fumiko Taoka is a woman after all, and she wants to talk to her if she has troubles in her heart.

It just so happens that Takenaka Masahisa and Misora ​​Hibari here are not outsiders.

"Didn't we already hold a cup event? Why are we still making trouble? Is it someone from the former acting team leader Yamamoto Hiro?" Misora ​​Hibari looked like he didn't know.

"It's about a nightclub." Fumiko Taoka sighed, "The team leaders actually quarreled over the profits of a nightclub."

"Is it the Nagayama group's KTV?" Misora ​​Hibari said, "Didn't I hear before that Group Leader Takenaka has ordered not to let people from other groups do it?"

"Ah, that's it."

Taoka Fumiko put down her chopsticks and drank a glass of wine.

"Those team leaders, how dare you disobey the Yondaime's orders?" Misora ​​Hibari glanced at Takenaka Masahisa, who had been engrossed in eating, and started talking as if he was provoking something.

"Just making noises and complaining, no team leader dares to disobey the Yondaime's order." Fumiko Taoka shook her head, "But the pressure is a bit high. They want the Yondaime to cancel the previous order."

"Do they think the Yondaime is a capricious person?!" Hibari Misora ​​said in surprise, and then seemed to realize his mistake, and quickly apologized to Fumiko Taoka and Masahisa Takenaka, "Private Marseille."

Taoka Fumiko knew that Misora ​​Hibari had a straightforward personality, so she didn’t care:

"Of course not! It's just that the current situation is a bit unsubtle. Yamamoto Hiro is eyeing the fourth generation and has to consider the mood of the team leaders."

Takenaka Masahisa's face is a little ugly. As a martial arts sect, what he looks down on the most is a capricious villain like Yamamoto Hiro.

"I see."

Misora ​​Hibari nodded and did not continue to ask. If he inquired further, it might arouse the suspicion of the two of them.

The first psychological hint has been planted. If she wants to influence Masahisa Takenaka's thoughts more, she must adopt a more clever form. Fortunately, she has already thought of many methods before coming to Tian Gang Residence, for the performance Learning "Psychology" through watching movies has played an unexpected role!

She changed the topic and started talking about "Continuous Stream". She talked about how excellent this song is and how influential it will be in the future. Kobe Entertainment Club needs to sign a contract as soon as possible, and she will also use this song as the title song of the next album.

Then there were the latest news in the entertainment industry, anecdotes and so on. I chatted with Fumiko Taoka while eating, and I was very happy.

Takenaka Masahisa was a rude person and it was difficult to get in the middle of the conversation between the two women, so he could only eat in silence. I always felt that this meal was not very enjoyable.

After dinner was over and after drinking the refreshing hot tea, Hibari Misora ​​wisely prepared to leave. After all, Fumiko Taoka and Masahisa Takenaka still had serious business to talk about!

"Sister Fumiko, I'll take my leave now~"

"Wzueda-chan, it's a rare time for you to come here, and you're leaving so soon?" Fumiko Taoka tried to persuade her, "It's okay to stay here for one night!"

“Don’t be too intrusive”

Misora ​​Hibari declined, and then bowed to Masahisa Takenaka to say goodbye, but this time she was relatively solemn:

"Team Leader Takenaka,

I heard that when a wolf king faces a challenge from a wolf pack member, he must never retreat. He can only show himself to be stronger than them, and only then can he secure his position as wolf king.

You are now also facing the challenges of the Yamaguchi-gumi members. It is time to strengthen your faith and move forward!

Wish you good luck in martial arts! "

"Thank you!"

When Takenaka Masahisa heard such ancient advice, he sat upright and solemnly returned the greeting, expressing his gratitude to Misora ​​Hibari for his advice.

After Misora ​​Hibari left, Takenaka Masahisa was still thinking about the profound words. To be the wolf king, can you only show yourself to be stronger than the pack of wolves? !

The law of the jungle is indeed true!

Although she was also shocked by Misora ​​Hibari Fumaki's advice, Taoka Fumiko still smiled and explained to Takenaka Masahisa:

"Kazada-chan has appeared in many TV dramas, and she is a little obsessed with the admonishment conversations between monarchs and ministers in the past, so she said something like this.

But in fact, it was Kazue-chan who was expressing his support for Team Leader Takenaka, and asked Team Leader Takenaka not to pay attention. "

She thought Misora ​​Hibari was talking about former acting team leader Yamamoto Hiro's disobedience to the Fourth Generation, like a member of a wolf pack challenging the wolf king. That's why he encouraged the Yondaime to strengthen his faith and move forward courageously.

"Silly Tape" Takenaka Masahiro silently understood the conversation just now, and he felt like he was back in the feudal era when monarchs and ministers played against each other, "Actually, I quite like that kind of advice, it's full of wisdom."

In fact, he may prefer the feeling of being a king. After all, the ultimate dream of every Yakuza is to be the best among ten thousand people.

"Sister Fumiko, as for the team leaders who came to negotiate today, I think a few of them already have the intention to move to our side." Masahisa Takenaka said, "Just give me some sweet words."

"The organization's money is a little tight, but Team Leader Takenaka can promise them a commission from certain industries in the future." Fumiko Taoka said, "There are still some idle properties."

"Well, please ask me, sister, to make a list for me." Takenaka Masahisa nodded.

"Tomorrow, there are still some people who need to meet, but then we will have to meet with the leaders of the Inagawa Kai, Sumiyoshi Kai, Aizu Kotetsu Kai, Ohno family and other organizations." Fumiko Taoka calculated, "Wait until the beginning of July to name the names. The ceremony is about to be officially held, and witnesses are indispensable!"

"Um"

Listening to Taoka Fumiko's description, Takenaka Masahisa seemed to be sitting in the center of everyone's eyes, wearing a frame that represented the Yamaguchi-gumi's highest power - a frame with "Fourth Generation Eyes" written on it.

My heart was full of pride and ambition when I heard Fumiko Taoka say:

"Team Leader Takenaka, do you want to talk to Hayato Nagayama about the immediate team leaders' request to loosen the restrictions on KTV? Maybe we can make some concessions?"

concession?

For a moment, words such as "capricious", "cannot retreat" and "press forward" flashed through Takenaka Masahisa's mind, and then a fierce look appeared on his face:

"Sister Fumiko!

In the life of the extreme, I have long understood that as long as you show a hint of cowardice, your enemies will pounce on you even more ferociously!

When facing a group of evil wolves, be more ferocious than them! ! !

If I compromise with those direct team leaders this time and take back the order.

Not only would Nagayama Hayato think that I was capricious and unkept my promise, causing the originally neutral team leader to turn to Yamamoto Hiro, but those direct team leaders who had achieved their goals would also think that I was just a leader who could compromise, and they would demand Get more! "

"so!!!"

"This order will never be taken back!"

"Other members of the Yamaguchi-gumi must never touch the KTV!"

Taoka Fumiko understood Takenaka Masahisa's words and seemed to want to say something. However, looking at Takenaka Masahisa's firm expression, she finally nodded:

"Hey! I understand! I will restrain the Sandaime."
