Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapters 1558 and 1567: I hope you will consider this carefully and think it over before acting!

Kishimoto Yamato stayed in the hospital for two days before finally returning home to recuperate. After drinking porridge for a few days, he was finally able to eat normally again, although he would occasionally experience stomach discomfort.

However, company matters were pressing him, forcing him to go out for social engagements every day.

He had just finished a meeting with an artist at a coffee shop when a phone call pushed back his return home.

"Kishimoto-san!"

A rough, angry voice came from the phone.

"I've made up my mind! I'll do it your way!!"

"Oh? Are you sure, Mitsuko-san?"

Kishimoto Yamato cheered up,

"Once you embark on this path, there's no turning back!"

"I know!!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa is confirmed.

"I'll make my fellow tree enthusiasts regret this!!"

"Alright. Let's discuss the location in person."

"Let's go to a bar in Shinjuku! I happen to be having a drink right now!"

"Okay~"

After hanging up the phone, Kishimoto Yamato pondered for a moment, then smiled. Things were going according to plan!

Once Miyazawa Mitsuko sues Nagayama Naoki for sexually harassing a minor as planned, he will leverage Sony's resources to create public opinion, placing Nagayama's fans at the center of the storm. The Ayukawa family will then take the opportunity to convene a shareholders' meeting to discuss the public opinion issue.

By then, Masaharu Fukuyama's transfer will be just a minor incident, and he might even be able to bring Rie Miyazawa over as well.

Of course, this only applies to Shuyou's business in the entertainment industry. As for his operations in the financial industry, real estate industry, or even politics, those are handled by other people.

"Alright. We still need to discuss this with Mitsuko Miyazawa face-to-face!"

Kishimoto Yamato got up, intending to leave, but then frowned, vaguely feeling discomfort in his stomach.

"It doesn't look like it's fully healed yet."

However, he still walked out the door steadily, hailed a taxi, and arrived at a bar in Shinjuku.

This isn't a quiet bar; it's very noisy inside, with a band performing on a small stage, so loud that you have to shout to be heard.

After Kishimoto Yamato entered, he quickly found Miyazawa Mitsuko drinking at the bar in the dim light. She was gesturing and talking to a foreigner. It seemed she really liked foreigners.

"Photon-san!"

Kishimoto Yamato approached and called out, but was not heard, so he patted her on the shoulder instead.

Mitsuko Miyazawa was clearly impatient when she first turned her head, and the smell of alcohol on her face was visibly strong. However, her expression quickly changed when she saw Yamato Kishimoto.

"Kishimoto-san! You've arrived! Come quickly, this is my new friend, the Dutchman!"

"Okay, okay, okay~"

Ignoring the foreigners beside him, Kishimoto Yamato nodded and then spoke loudly.

"It's not a good place to talk, let's go to a quieter booth!"

"what?"

"Let's go to a quiet booth!"

"Good~"

Mitsuko Miyazawa had to say goodbye to her new friends, then ordered two cocktails before following Yamato Kishimoto to a quieter private booth.

"Kishimoto-san!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were glazed, seemingly under the influence of alcohol, but she spoke quite clearly.

"Let's do it!!"

"Defeat that Naoki Nagayama guy!"

"."

When Kishimoto Yamato heard the first sentence, he was almost startled, but then he realized that she was talking about suing Nagayama Naoki.

"Yes, but we need to prepare in advance!"

"What else do we need to prepare? All we need is for my daughter and me to agree on how to proceed, and then we can sue Naoki Nagayama! We can sue him for sexually harassing underage female entertainers."

Mitsuko Miyazawa was somewhat excited at this moment.

"Even if no evidence is found in the end, Naoki Nagayama will suffer social death!"

In this era, feminist thought is prevalent, and the antagonism between men and women has become more serious. If a woman makes a false accusation, it costs her almost nothing. As long as a man is accused of sexual harassment, he will definitely suffer social death!

"Um"

Kishimoto Yamato nodded.

"However, this matter still needs to be planned carefully!"

"First, you need to gather some evidence, such as when Naoki Nagayama and Rie Miyazawa were alone together."

"They've taken cover photos together, so they must have had opportunities to spend time alone together!"

"For example, did Naoki Nagayama show any particularly enthusiastic support towards Rie Miyazawa?"

"He got Shuyou to sign Rie, and then spent several years raising her for nothing before she finally started acting!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa pondered for a moment,

"They even made me sign an agreement that forbids me from managing Rie's work!"

"Ah, separating them from parental supervision is very important."

Kishimoto nodded. Basically, with these two reasons, Naoki Nagayama couldn't escape the reason of "excessive enthusiasm"!

If you have no romantic feelings for her, why are you so eager to help her?!

After writing down each point, Kishimoto Yamato said to Miyazawa Mitsuko:

"Okay, you'd better prepare the original agreement as well! Once we have all the evidence, we can begin!"

"When could that be?!"

"At the beginning of the year"

Kishimoto Yamato thought for a moment,

"I need to allocate media resources to create this public opinion storm, which will take time!"

"why?"

Mitsuko Miyazawa was puzzled.

"The media will definitely be scrambling to report on this kind of scoop!"

"."

Kishimoto Yamato rolled her eyes. This woman knew absolutely nothing about the power of the Tree Friends.

"Naoki Nagayama has a lot of influence in the entertainment industry, and he has good relationships with many media executives. These things are very likely to go unreported!"

"Huh? How could this be?"

Mitsuko Miyazawa was somewhat surprised and worried, but these feelings were quickly dispelled by the alcohol.

"But with Kishimoto-san handling things, we'll definitely be able to ruin Nagayama Naoki's reputation!"

"Then, Rie will be back in my hands!"

She viewed Rie Miyazawa as a money-printing machine, fantasizing about being able to use Rie Miyazawa's money to her heart's content in the future, and she became very excited.

Next, Kishimoto Yamato explained to her that after the New Year, he would first send a lawyer's letter, then refuse to settle, and directly file a lawsuit. He also mentioned applying for protective isolation for Miyazawa Rie, as well as her transfer of nationality, etc.

"Mitsuko-san, you need to communicate well with Rie Miyazawa, understand?! Otherwise, even if you file a lawsuit as her guardian, it will be much less effective if Rie-chan doesn't cooperate!"

"Of course, no problem! If she doesn't cooperate, I'll tell her I'll go to jail!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa looked confident.

"Rie is my daughter after all. She can't possibly send me to jail!"

"Um"

Seeing Mitsuko Miyazawa's confident demeanor, Yamato Kishimoto also believed her.

Just then, two cocktails were brought over. She picked up one and handed the other to Kishimoto Yamato:

"Come on, Kishimoto-san, wish us all the best!"

"Forehead"

Kishimoto Yamato's hesitation displeased Miyazawa Mitsuko. "We've been doing bad things together, and you're not even going to clink glasses with me?"

"? Kishimoto-san, what's wrong? Don't you want things to go smoothly?"

"."

Kishimoto Yamato hesitated for a moment, then raised the cocktail, took a small sip, and choked!

"How can it be so intense?!"

"Of course, this is the most powerful bomber ever!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa drank it all in one gulp and immediately felt dizzy.

"Haha, that's really powerful!"

At this moment, Kishimoto Yamato felt a spicy sensation begin to flow down his intestines...

My stomach started to hurt!

Meanwhile, Rie Miyazawa, the other protagonist in their conversation, also arrived at the Tree Friends Building.

She was unaware of her mother's scheme; she had come to see Nishimoto Banyuki's rough cut of "I'm Sorry, I Love You"!

In the screening room, Takenouchi Yutaka and Miyazawa Rie watched the first episode, both with some emotion in their eyes.

"So this is what the footage we shot turned out to look like after editing!"

Yutaka Takenouchi was acting in a TV drama for the first time, and he felt that the content on set was very different from what was presented on the TV series.

Rie Miyazawa, on the other hand, already had some experience, having played the youngest sister in "Our Little Sister," and said with a smile:

"This is a TV series, so the editing is still traceable. But if it were a movie, you would have no idea where the footage would be used!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?!"

"yes."

While the two were talking, Nishimoto Tomoyuki interjected.

"Alright, alright, I invited you all here to see 'Sorry, I Love You,' so let's not stray from the topic!"

What do you guys think of the editing of the first episode?

The two exchanged a glance, and Rie Miyazawa spoke first:

"That's fantastic! The iconic scene of me squatting at the intersection wearing a rainbow sweater is truly unforgettable!"

"I never expected the photos to turn out so good!"

When asked about her looks, Rie Miyazawa smiled shyly, while Tomoyuki Nishimoto nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong with that? Rie-chan is really pretty, there's nothing to be shy about!"

"So, Takenouchi-kun, what are your thoughts?"

"my words"

Yutaka Takenouchi decided to speak from the audience's perspective.

"I think the plot flows very smoothly. This is only the first episode, and the male and female leads' appearances are very appealing! If it were me, I would definitely keep watching!"

That's good~

Nishimoto Banyuki nodded,

"If you all think it's okay, then I can show it to Naoki-san and the others!"

Rie Miyazawa was somewhat surprised:

"Do you want to see Naoki-san too?"

"Of course, he wrote the script!"

Nishimoto Tomoyuki smiled, then looked at the two of them.

"You might even get praised by Naoki-san!"

Haha, I hope so~

After watching the preview of the drama, Rie Miyazawa and Yutaka Takenouchi prepared to leave, but before that, they naturally went to the talent agency to say goodbye to their colleagues.

When Masami Inada saw Rie Miyazawa, his expression showed some pity.

"Did Rie-chan spend the Lunar New Year with her family?"

"Hi"

Rie Miyazawa nodded.

"I want to go back to my hometown with my mom to see my aunt."

"Well"

Masami Inada's eyes flickered, but he still asked the question.

"Rie-chan, is your relationship with Mom better now than before?"

"This"

When asked about her relationship with her mother, Rie Miyazawa found it difficult to answer, as such family matters are generally considered shameful to discuss.

"It's much better than before."

"Um"

Masami Inada nodded, then, considering the actions he would take against Mitsuko Miyazawa, his lips moved slightly as he offered a reminder.

"Rie-chan"

"Hi?"

"In all my years in the entertainment industry, I've seen countless celebrities whose parents, dragged down by their families of origin, extorted and exploited their children, turned against them, were threatened, or even committed suicide due to depression. In the end, they all faded into obscurity!"

Masami Inada spoke earnestly.

"You have great potential and are very lucky. If you continue on this path, you will definitely have a bright future, a fulfilling love life, and a happy life."

"If there were ever a moment when you had to choose between your future and your mother..."

"I hope you will consider this carefully and think it through before acting! And then, don't regret your choice."

"Forehead"

Hearing Masami Inada's serious words all of a sudden, Rie Miyazawa was a little taken aback, but since they sounded like words of encouragement, she nodded earnestly.

"Hi, I understand!! I will stand by my choice!"

"Um"

Masami Inada looked away, his voice low and somber.

"Let's leave it at that and have a good New Year!"

"Hi Arigato~"

Rie Miyazawa finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the office.

"Why does Yamin-san seem a bit strange today? Is he under too much pressure at the end of the year?"

"It's probably just an illusion."

At the headquarters of Melody KTV in Sumida Ward, Nagayama Kaede received a call from his father back home.

"Are they urging us again?"

Nagayama Kaede found it somewhat amusing.

"What's the reason this time?"

Nagayama Kumahara's voice came through the microphone:

"That guy, Yoshiaki Kanai, said the investment for the hotel project will be finalized before the end of the year. This is the last chance!"

"We'll definitely regret it if we don't participate!"

"Hahaha~"

Nagayama Kaede laughed.

"And what was your answer, Father?"

"Of course I said that my son in Tokyo values ​​this very much. If we have to mortgage the property back home, we need to think about it carefully. So let's just drag this out with him!"

"Um"

Yongshan Feng nodded,

“Father did a great job. We’ll take out another mortgage after the New Year!”

"Naoki-san said that the real estate industry might collapse in the coming year, and land prices would drop. We should mortgage our properties while they are at their highest value, take out loans, and prepare to short sell. This way, we can double our assets!"

Naoki Nagayama currently has too much capital; if he were to short the market, it would have a huge impact on the Japanese stock market. Combined with the bubble burst theory being promoted by Shuyu Capital, he could easily be seen as manipulating the stock market.

Making a fortune during the collapse of the Japanese economy would be too enviable, so he only thought about preserving and increasing the value of his money rather than doubling it. His money went to the US stock market, Europe, etc. The funds left in Japan were all converted into government bonds!

However, the Nagayama family can only be considered moderately wealthy. KTV is a capital-intensive industry, so they are still very eager for funds.

"Is this alright?"

Nagayama Kumahara sounded somewhat worried on the other end of the line; he knew almost nothing about finance.

"Isn't this making too much money all at once?"

"Ha, that's all your money for your funeral, Father!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?! I don't want a coffin!"

"Haha, okay, okay!"

Nagayama Kaede readily accepted good advice.

"When you go back for the New Year, Naoki will also visit you. He can explain it to you personally then."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

"Ok!"

After hanging up the phone, Nagayama Kaede thought for a moment and decided to call Nagayama Naoki to see when he was going back and whether they should travel together.

On Yamazaki-in's side, Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone. He then casually tossed Natsuka, who had been leaning in to listen, off his lap.

"Dad, I need to answer the phone!!"

"The flower sauce has already been drained. You're too late!"

"Hmph! They didn't leave any for me!"

The little guy didn't get a chance to make a phone call, so he ran off to bully Eitaro in a huff!

Akina, who was strolling around with little Ren in her arms, saw this scene and asked with a smile:

Who is it?

"Brother Feng"

Naoki Nagayama said,

"They came to ask when we're going back to our hometown, and if we want to travel together."

"That's a good idea!"

Akina nodded; it would be lively if the whole family went back together.

"Hana-chan and Lian-chan haven't seen Lily for a long time either!"

"Yes, that's what I said too! We can go back together then!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded, reached out and took Little Lotus, weighing it in his hand. He found the little thing to be very light.

"This is Lianjiang's first time going back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year. It's already been almost 8 months!"

"Ah~~"

Little Lotus smiled and babbled meaningless words.

Naoki Nagayama turned to look at Akina:

"By the way, Akina, when are we going to visit your mother?"

Now, no one mentions his father-in-law anymore. Nakamori Akio has basically separated from his mother-in-law, Chieko, and they don't even spend New Year's together.

"Before going back to my hometown."

Akina said,

I bought my mom a dress. I'll send it to her before the New Year.

"No, it's not right, it's right."

The two stood in front of the glass partition, looking out at the somewhat gloomy sky.

"Looking at the weather, it might snow!"

"yes."
