Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 211 The Power of Money Is Infinite (8000 words)

Konoe Lianghua looked very guilty, pinched his chin from time to time, stroked his hair, and secretly glanced at Higashinoji, as if to confirm whether he was observing him.

This appearance made Dong Yesi a little unbearable.

He didn't pay much attention to Konoe Lianghua's side at first, but this guy's deceitful behavior made him turn around and ask, "Lianghua, what do you want?"

"Huh? No, no! I didn't want to do anything! I'm the one who's hot."

It's hot?

I remember correctly that today's temperature should be more than ten degrees. It doesn't matter how cold the weather is, but it shouldn't make people feel hot, right?

Even Chihaya Higashino who was next to him laughed: "Isn't it rather cold today? Lianghua, you are so strange."

"Hehe cough cough" Konoe Lianghua shrugged her legs together in embarrassment, finally stood up nervously, and stammered, "Excuse me, I want to go to the bathroom."

Seeing the figure of Konoe Lianghua leaving, Higashino also turned his head, smiled and said to Higashino Chihaya: "I also want to go to the toilet, Miss Chihaya, please wait for a while, okay?"

It wasn't long before Dong Yesi left, and he came back soon.

About 2 minutes after Higashinoji came back, Konoe Lianghua came back again, very embarrassed: "Sorry, it's been a while since I went to the toilet, someone is using it in front."

"It's okay, it's for Asi's celebration anyway." Higashino Chihaya smiled cheerfully, but soon, as if thinking of something, she sighed and looked at her piggy bank.

The little piggy is heavy now and looks bulging, but it will be deflated soon.

She ordered a lot of things, roughly [-] to [-] yen.

expensive.

But it was a celebration for Higashino, so Higashino Chihaya didn't mean to be stingy at all, she ordered a table full of dishes.

She sighed here and there, and suddenly heard a congratulatory voice: "Congratulations, customer."

When Higashino Chihaya heard the voice, her face was dazed, she half raised her head, and found that the waiter of the 'black shop' was standing beside her.

The other party took her order and said with a smile: "You are the [-]th customer since the establishment of our restaurant. After our discussion, you will enjoy free bills for all your purchases in our restaurant today. I wish you a pleasant meal."

"Huh? Free bill?"

Higashino Chihaya didn't quite understand the meaning of this word for a while, Konoe Lianghua who was next to her hurriedly explained: "It just means that everything is free."

As soon as he heard about free, Higashino Chihaya widened her pretty eyes: "Really?"

I didn't expect that this black shop was wrong, it was a conscientious shop, and there was such a service?

"That's right, congratulations, please enjoy the bill-free treatment." The waiter bowed and left with a smile on his face after serving all the dishes.

Chihaya Higashino was a little dazed looking at the table full of dishes.

like

Don't need a piggy bank anytime soon?

The money in the piggy bank is also kept?

She was immediately interested and added three more desserts.

She didn't go too far, just added three more desserts, and happily enjoyed this free dinner from heaven.

Seeing Higashino Chihaya's happy appearance, Konoe Lianghua was also happy for her, and clapped her palms gently and sang a blessing song - her voice was very small, and she didn't dare to disturb the people around her too loudly.

The meal took more than two hours in total.

It wasn't until the three of them were about to leave the store that Konoe Lianghua raised his hand: "Well, maybe I drank a little too much. I still want to go to the toilet. Why don't you go back first, Si?"

"No, the three of us came here together, of course we have to go together. We'll wait for you outside the door." Chihaya Higashino said and pulled Higashino Si out of the door.

Higashino Division didn't say anything, just smiled and followed Higashino Chihaya to the door.

About a minute later, Konoe Lianghua came out of the fast food restaurant, and then shrank his neck: "It's a bit cold."

"That's right, everyone said it's a little cold, and the cold flower is hot." Higashino Chihaya took off her woolen shawl, carefully put it on Konoe Lianghua, and said seriously with her small face half up : "This way it won't be cold."

Konoe Lianghua's snow-white pretty face was instantly flushed, she nodded lightly, said thank you, and then looked at Higashinoji on the other side.

Higashinoji next to her just stretched out his hand and pinched her soft cheek, then lowered his voice and said in a voice that only Konoe Lianghua could hear: "Thank you, Lianghua."

Konoe Lianghua raised her head when she heard this, and felt that there was nowhere to hide her face that was flushed from guilty conscience.

Higashino Chihaya looked at her from the side, which meant that Konoe Lianghua really knew magic, otherwise how could it be possible that her face looked normal one second and turned red like a monkey's butt the next?

This is obviously unscientific.

As for why Higashinoji should thank Konoe Lianghua.

That's because Higashinoji didn't go to the toilet before, but went to the counter.

Then he heard Konoe Lianghua pleading softly: "Is it really not possible? I am an acquaintance with the store manager, as long as I do a little favor, I will pay for it. It is said that [-] customers are free." This kind of excuse alone shouldn’t matter, right?”

"It's not that we don't help customers, it's a bit against our store's regulations. I can't make decisions on my own, and I hope you can communicate with the store owner." The waiter was a little embarrassed.

"Alright." Konoe Lianghua took a deep breath and stammered, "I, I will tell."

She herself has some problems with social barriers. Although she is now actively working hard to change her image for Tonoji, she is not at the point where she can talk to strangers with a natural smile.

But even so, she still continued to talk to complete strangers without saying a word in a low voice.

At that time, Higashinoji had basically heard all the content of the conversation. Konoe Lianghua stammered, but he still mustered up the courage to ask for help, which made Higashinoji a little moved.

He is really lucky that his girlfriend is willing to do things for him.

If it was placed in later generations - when Weibo's female boxers rose up, Dong Yesi would probably be hung up by the female boxers with combined punches.

Konoe Lianghua obviously knew that she had been exposed, so she was of course a little embarrassed.

The number of times she lied was very rare, but it was natural that Dong Yesi found out and felt embarrassed just these few times.

Konoe Lianghua took the initiative to hold Higashino Si with her snow-white palm, and said, "Stop talking, let's go, A Si."

"Okay." Higashino Si touched her head with a smile, and then held Higashino Chihaya.

The three of them walked towards home together.

Life is different from Higashinoji.

Hasegawa Riko's life can be said to have completely changed.

It can also be said that Higashino Division is a celebrity in the first place, and it is quite normal for many people to ask him to draw comics and scripts.

And Riko Hasegawa really has a feeling that no one asks about her after ten years of hard work, and she becomes famous all over the world.

There were as many voice audition invitations as snowflakes, and various voice actor firms took the initiative to send invitations, and she really became popular overnight.

This is the first time since she was born that she can choose to dub animations by herself, and even the Japanese dubbing of some famous movies.

Even well-known voice actors are basically unlikely to have such VIP member-level treatment.

Riko Hasegawa didn't lose her mind when faced with this situation, she positioned herself very accurately.

She understood that most of the firms and movie audition invitations that sent invitations were focused on the popularity of "Midnight Ring".

If the popularity of "The Ringer" dissipates, those opportunities will disappear like a cloud.

Just like her sukiyaki restaurant.

I don't know if it was a bad idea from that relative or employee, but she made a special trip to launch a special set of '"Midnight Bell" Reiko Asakawa's Pork Sukiyaki" at her sukiyaki shop.

I really don't know if this guy wants to sell sukiyaki or Asakawa Reiko's meat.

but don't say

There are really many people who buy it.

The turnover was rising steadily, and even Riko Hasegawa was stunned——is there such a way to make money?

To be honest, she is still relatively rare.

Sharp TV even brought out the same type of TV and video recorder as "Midnight Ring" - and spent a lot of money to buy the endorsement rights with Higashino Division.

But there was no problem with the quality, so Higashino didn't say anything about it.

At the same time, Riko Hasegawa's voice of Reiko Asakawa in "Midnight Ring" also conquered countless viewers, and many people began to search for news about her online.

So there was another storm.

Is Hasegawa Liko an abandoned son of the AKB voice actor agency?And I heard that she also likes playing big names?Don't dub the character?

As soon as this incident came out, various rumors appeared on the Internet in an instant.

The worrying thing happened.

This is the hidden danger left behind.

Everyone is busy celebrating success, but they forget that Riko Hasegawa, who is the voice actor of Reiko Asakawa, has such a dark history.

On the same day, the production team of "Midnight Ring" assembled urgently, preparing to find some public relations methods to calm down the storm.

To be honest, calming the storm is not difficult.

After all, the AKB office will definitely not be able to beat the industry leader of the capital animation production company, not to mention that the investor of "Midnight Ring" this time is Sharp TV

That's a real capitalist.

There is a saying that as long as you have money, you can really do whatever you want - and in Japan, this difference is even more magnified.

If Sharp Electronics is really pissed off, it will really make this AKB office disappear.

Even when Higashinoji was waiting for capital to calm down the turmoil, something that surprised him happened——

"You mean you want to apologize to Ms. Hasegawa, so you found me?"

Seeing the two middle-aged men bowing in unison in front of him, Higashino, who was in the May Day Golden Week holiday, asked with a strange expression.

He really didn't expect it.

Before he could make a move on his side, the opponent had already voluntarily surrendered.

But when you think about it, it's quite normal.

Only people with brain problems would really want to go head-to-head with Sharp Electronics Co., Ltd.

That kind of high-level capitalist really means that as long as you pay, someone will sink your body in Tokyo Bay, which will definitely make you die silently and evaporate from the world.

It can be seen that the two people in front of them are quite acquainted.

but

"Why did you come to me?" Higashino Chihaya asked Higashino Chihaya to play in the room for a while.

Yes.

Even if you want to apologize, you should go to Riko Hasegawa, how did you find it on your head?

"Well, we heard that Ms. Hasegawa seems to have a relatively close relationship with you, Higashino-sensei."

The president of the AKB office wiped the sweat off his face, tried his best to put on a smile and said.

He actually didn't want to bow his head to Higashino Division.

But there is no way, because of the pressure behind him, he must bow his head when he should bow his head.

Otherwise, not to mention that Sharp would crush them to death in the end, even if Capital Animation Production Company wrestled with them, they would not be able to bear it.

As long as the capital animation production company says hello in the industry, it is basically impossible for all the voice actors under the AKB office to receive decent roles in the industry.

After all, they are just a small office, who cares?

No one wants to offend Tokyo Animation for them.

To put it bluntly, their current situation is even more severe than that of Riko Hasegawa.

The voice actors who were kicked out before now fly to the branches and become phoenixes, and the fiery manga writers like Dong Yesi support her. Her value is far from inestimable. It really feels like a son-in-law has returned.

"You heard that she has a close relationship with me?" Dong Yesi couldn't help frowning when he heard the rumor.

This probably came from the production team of "Midnight Ring", right?

Either it was Masao Matsuda, the voice actor of Ryuji Takayama, or some of the staff responsible for the painting.

After all, it was Dong Yesi who took Hasegawa Riko to the audition.

"Yes, so can I ask Mr. Higashino to help me? We came here with sincerity."

The president of the AKB office lowered his head, and his attitude was extremely low: "I hope Mr. Higashino can help, and Ms. Hasegawa will forgive us."

"Before then, I hope that your company can immediately clarify the rumors on the Internet." Higashino Division made a request.

If the rumor persists, it will definitely affect the reputation of "Midnight Ring".

Whether to help or not is only secondary - as long as Hasegawa Lizi is willing to forgive them, it has nothing to do with Higashinoji.

"We know this. We have asked people to organize to issue a clarification announcement today. There should be news this afternoon."

The man next to him who looked like a secretary rubbed his hands together, and continued, "So, can I ask Mr. Dongye to say a few words for me?"

"It's not about my attitude, but Miss Hasegawa's attitude."

Higashino shook his head, but still said calmly: "I can contact Ms. Hasegawa. If she is willing to meet with the two of you, that's her business."

"We understand."

The president of AKB office nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this nodding and bowing, willing to fight and suffer, Higashino had nothing to say for a while——

Sure enough, the power of money is infinite.
