Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 113 Asuka Also Wants to Be a Leader

evening.

Asuka rested her chin on her hand, lying on the tatami mat, deep in thought.

How to be a good leader.

Thinking about it carefully, a team leader is definitely closer to Nakajima Hiroshi than a candidate or an artist.

Although this woman named Shiraishi Yu is very sensible, she has clearly overtaken others who came later!

No way, I want to be a leader too!

So here's the first question: what kind of leaders do artist management companies like ours have?

There's definitely a slight problem with the keywords used to search for "Asuka" (明日花), because the result is the Minister of Justice.

Uh-huh.

This job sounds impressive.

Hiroshi Nakajima is the boss, and I am her minister.

Yes, that's right, the next step up is becoming a royal princess or something similar...

Tomorrow Hua couldn't help but nod.

This is it!

That's exactly what I want to be.

Then, step by step, he climbed to the top, from minister to princess, and from princess to queen!

Asuka has already planned her evolutionary path.

Asuka candidate, Asuka artist, Asuka minister, Asuka princess, Asuka queen...

That sounds perfectly reasonable!

"Asuka, I brought back some snacks, come and have a taste."

Tomorrow's Flower turns a deaf ear.

She had already begun to fantasize about what she would look like if she became a minister.

The clothing definitely can't be like this anymore; it has to be more serious and imposing, a proper business suit, and the hair combed into an ultra-slicked-back style.

"Asuka?"

Hiroshi Nakajima called out once again.

She then realized, "Oh, Ma-san, come on over there!"

Bouncing and jumping.

"Did something happy happen?"

Hiroshi Nakajima could clearly sense that Asuka was starting to feel happy.

You know, imagining the future is this wonderful.

"Nakajima, do you think my hair looks good this way?"

Asuka stretched out her small hand and tried to comb her hair into a slicked-back style, but her hands were too small, and strands of hair always fell along her fair wrists.

However, given its inherent qualities, it's bound to look good no matter what.

"It might look great. After I finish working on the collaboration with Itomoriya, I'll find a hairstylist to design it for you."

You know what, occasionally seeing Asuka Hanabikachi's serious yet contrasting style has a unique charm.

Of course, the main reason is that Nakajima Hiroshi has no idea what kind of nonsense she's thinking.

He agreed!

Hiro Nakajima definitely likes this one!

Thinking about it carefully, Misaki-neechan and Yukino-neechan both seem to be more serious and adult-like.

He likes mature women!

The error process and the answer corroborated each other, giving Asuka a great sense of reassurance.

That's right, that's it!

Hmph hmph hmph.

Just wait and you'll be completely captivated by me!

Asuka hummed a little tune as she lightly set out the food and arranged the tables and chairs before turning to Nakajima Hiro.

"Nakajima, have you eaten today?"

Because he's been busy with collaborations lately, Nakajima Hiroshi often brings home a meal after eating out.

Asuka is used to having to eat by herself even when the other person is home.

No, not this time.

Nakajima Hiro smiled, washed his hands, and walked towards Asuka.

Yay, let's have a meal together!

Speaking of which...

How long has it been since we ate together?

Forget it, who cares? It's a rare opportunity to be together, I don't want to think about all this nonsense.

Hiroshi Nakajima continued.

"The cooperation agreement we just discussed has fallen apart."

"The other party can't live without you, but the category isn't quite right."

"Category?"

Asuka blinked: "What do you mean?"

Simply put, their product types may involve violations.

"If problems arise, in the worst-case scenario, even the artists promoting the product will be blacklisted."

"oh……"

Asuka seemed to understand, but not quite.

"Then, with so many compliant things to do, why do this?"

"There will always be someone who wants to take shortcuts."

After speaking, Nakajima Hiroshi hesitated for a moment, then added, "Perhaps it's due to the limitations of his upbringing, leaving him no choice but to do so."

He recalled that in China, many bosses of illegal businesses wanted to retire, but they couldn't understand how to operate other projects.

Plus, my subordinates also need to eat, so I'm practically pushing them forward step by step; there's no stopping them.

Asuka couldn't understand.

She only heard what she wanted to know.

shortcut!

Yes, Shiraishi Yu wanted to become a minister as soon as he arrived; that's taking a shortcut!

Judging from Nakajima Hiroshi's tone, he seems to dislike people who take shortcuts.

Hmph, foolish woman, you didn't expect this, did you? You've already failed at this very step!

...Ignoring Asuka's perceived rival, Hiroshi Nakajima is actually not opposed to collaborating with the gray market; in fact, many gray market bosses offer even more generous compensation.

However, we cannot accept orders from key artists.

Including Asuka, Yu Shiraishi, and some recent newcomers, who knows, any of them might rise to prominence.

Also, although Momochi Momochi is a product of Giovanni Sakaki's talent, but...

Hiroshi Nakajima: "..."

While secretly planning to ruthlessly exploit newcomers, when thinking things through, they always manage to find excuses to be a little more humane.

This is bad.

He's terrible at being a manager, at least.

"Nakajima, what kind of person is Shiraishi-neechan...?"

Asuka's tentative yet direct approach was both reserved and straightforward.

She seemed to feel that as long as she was careful with her tone, Nakajima Hiroshi wouldn't discover her ulterior motives.

cautious.

Asuka is a cautious hunter.

"I'm not very familiar with it yet."

Hiroshi Nakajima shook his head.

If this had happened before he gained the ability to produce pheromones, he would have said that Shiraishi-neechan is a very generous person, and Asuka-chan should learn a lot from her.

but now……

Yu Shiraishi must be a super twisted guy.

My Asuka, please stay away from her.

There was nothing I could do; all I heard was her depressed and gloomy thoughts, coupled with her impeccable manners, the contrast was just too stark.

The truth is poisonous; it shatters every illusion you have.

"This is delicious!"

Asuka took a bite of the strawberry dessert.

This was indeed bought specifically for her by Nakajima Hiroshi.

"Does Asuka Hanazawa really like strawberries?"

Nakajima Hiroshi asked while peeling nuts.

"Um……"

Asuka hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I wouldn't say I like it, it's just..."

"Never mind, I quite like it too."

Hmm, this child isn't quite sure about his feelings.

Actually, Asuka prefers the shape and pattern of strawberries.

As for the strawberry-flavored e-cigarette, it's purely out of love for the brand.

However, Nakajima Hiro recently stopped her from smoking, at least not in public.

He didn't want the child to become known as something like "Hibiscus King" or "Sui Xiang" in the future.

"Is that so..."

Since it was just casual conversation, Nakajima Hiroshi didn't delve into it further.

He then got to the point.

"Asuka, you'll be in charge of training a group of newcomers for the upcoming Itomori-ya performance."

Mentoring newcomers!

Asuka's eyes lit up.

Does that mean I'm going to be a leader too?

Hehehe, Nakajima Hiroshi, you really didn't forget me, you really didn't leave me behind!

"How do I bring it!"

Asuka is quite enthusiastic.

"Like you, will you treat them like disposable resources and exploit them ruthlessly? Or...?"

No, Asuka, what terrible ideas have you learned from me?

Nakajima Hiroshi was stunned.

But you really can't blame the child, after all, the consumables and such were topics that I had discussed in front of her.

"Asuka isn't something strategic; you're responsible for leading the team to execute it."

"Simply put, what Itomoriya really needs for this collaboration is a dance troupe..."
