Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

"Elden Ring" is the game that Dongchuan Che has put the most effort into since he traveled through time.

Although the production time was only one year, just like Sekiro, the Sekiro team had only a few hundred people, while the core members of the production team of Elden Ring had thousands. The number of people to manage increased dramatically, and the difficulty of management naturally increased dramatically.

He took this game very seriously, but he had just come to the game exhibition with Sayoko to see Izumi Himawari, and before he could hear Izumi Himawari complain, Kawaguchi came running over.

"Team leader! The head of the Cultural Affairs Agency, Takemoto Tamon, came unexpectedly, and he also said that he wanted to invite all the manufacturers to have lunch together at noon!"

"The head of the Cultural Affairs Department?"

Looking at Kawaguchi who was out of breath after climbing, Dongchuan Che raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise while drinking the mineral water given to him by Izumi Himawari, and then asked a question in return.

Japan's gaming and animation industries are mainly under the jurisdiction of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.

The Agency for Cultural Affairs is affiliated to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, which is equivalent to a high-ranking agency such as the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in Japan.

To put it simply, the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs is basically equivalent to a vice-ministerial agency in the country, and the [Director] is the highest leader of the [Agency]. In other words, Takemoto Tamon can actually be regarded as a powerful big tiger.

Although he was a leader of a very high rank, Dongchuan Che was only slightly surprised.

On the one hand, he relies on his abilities to gain a foothold and does not need flattery. Moreover, it should be said that he has come into contact with many political bigwigs in this year.

On the other hand, this Tokyo Game Show was able to bring together NICO, SATE and Kondo Ryūdō, which was the result of the efforts of the government and the chaebols.

Not only do these three companies dominate the industry, but their own market appeal is already greater than that of the Tokyo Game Festival. There is no reason for them to exhibit at the same time.

It is natural that government figures who set up the bureau have to show up at least a little bit.

But Dong Chuanche had thought that the drinking party would end tomorrow. After all, today was the first day of the promotion of the games of big companies like SATE, and the market feedback from players had not yet come in. Now that they were going to eat, there was relatively little to talk about.

But it doesn’t matter.

Dong Chuan Che had no intention of getting involved in politics. Even if it was dinner tomorrow night, his plan was just to eat as much as he could.

"What time do you eat?"

"In forty minutes, at the Taketori Tsuru restaurant over there."

"Okay, then you take care of things here and follow me later."

"Hayi!"

After giving a few instructions to Kawaguchi, Dongchuan Che turned around and pinched Izumi Himawari, whose face was puffed up and had turned into a little puffer fish.

I came here specially at noon today just to reward this [General], but now I have to leave again.

It is obvious that Izumi Himawari is very unhappy, but although Izumi Himawari likes to act like a spoiled child in front of him, she is actually a very sensible girl because she has experienced a lot since childhood.

After pretending to be unhappy and acting coquettishly, and talking about some conditions like [I will personally eat Xiaokui's pussy tonight] and [I will give Xiaokui a massage tomorrow], the girl smiled brightly again, holding Dongchuan Che's arm, and excitedly talking about how many fans she had gained on her social media in the past two days.

Whether it was Toru Fuyukawa, Himawari Izumi, or Sayoko who was helping other female artists put on makeup, none of the three took today's lunch too seriously.

What's interesting is that because Kawaguchi and Amei have been under a lot of work pressure these days, they often work overtime until late at night and don't even have time to go home for dinner, so today Kawaguchi's mother and aunts also came to the backstage to help with their lunch boxes.

Now, as one of the senior executives of the Holy Light Society, Kawaguchi can be said to be proud of himself and has become the most handsome guy in the family. Whenever there is a family dinner, Kawaguchi's mother always sits at the head seat.

However, in the past, these relatives only had a vague understanding of the position of "Holy Light Society Executive". They knew it was powerful, but didn't know exactly how powerful it was. And now Kawaguchi is going to have dinner with the head of the Ministry of Culture.

It feels like your relative is going to have dinner with the mayor or even the provincial leader tonight.

Seeing Kawaguchi running off to handle the work, Kawaguchi's relatives were all shocked.

Now they no longer dared to look at the man who was standing by the window with one hand in his pocket and chatting with Izumi Himawari with a smile on his face.

Dongchuan Che gave them a great shock, but it was obvious that Dongchuan Che did not care about their thoughts.

He was just chatting with Izumi Himawari with a smile on his face. Soon, Ms. Maori came over quickly to report on her work, and she was followed by many beautiful girl group artists and singers.

This performance was not performed by just Izumi Himawari, but also by some artists from the company's girl group.

Dongchuan Che also wrote songs for some of the more promising girls. Although the quality is definitely not as good as the excellent works of top singers such as Adele and Taylor Swift, it is also of good quality.

In addition, this grand ceremony attracted a lot of attention, and Sistar also made many girls famous through it.

Needless to say, as soon as these pretty girls came in front of Dongchuan Che, they immediately bowed and thanked him. Their eyes were full of excitement and admiration. Some of the lively girls in the girl groups even bowed down directly, which made the scene very humorous.

Seeing that Fuyukawa Tetsu was so popular, Izumi Himawari pouted again. Fortunately, before Ms. Maori had finished her report, Kawaguchi came back in a brand new suit.

"It's just a meal, why do you have to make it so formal?"

Dongchuan Che laughed and teased. Kawaguchi was so excited that his face turned red, and he tried hard to straighten his chest, "I can't embarrass the team leader."

"You fool."

Dongchuan Che smiled and shook his head. He rubbed Izumi Himawari's little head, then looked at Sayoko and said with a smile, "It's said that we're going to have lunch, but I don't know exactly when the chat will end. I'll leave this to my wife. If you have any questions during the conversation, just call Meiting and the others."

"What do you mean, my dear wife~"

She didn't expect Dongchuan Che to flirt with her in front of so many people. Feeling the envious gazes of some female artists and singers next to her, Sayoko blushed.

However, although she has not done any management work in the past two years due to her personality, she has experienced many ups and downs by following Dongchuan Che, and she is no longer the woman who would be nervous when facing the Deputy Minister of NTsoft.

Under the gaze of others, Sayoko, who was very conscious of being a wife, walked up to Dongchuan Che with the aura of a "first wife", and while helping him to straighten the collar of his gray shirt under his windbreaker, she whispered, "With Ms. Maori and Sister Mei here, nothing will go wrong. But Mr. Che, you have to be more careful. If... if the feedback from the trial later is not good, someone might be sarcastic."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Dongchuan Che smiled and nodded.

If you rely on your ability to make a living, you should also rely on your ability to speak.

And strictly speaking, the Holy Light Society was established too recently, and its capital accumulation and industry reputation are not very rich.

What supports him mainly is the current staff size and capabilities of the Society of Light. Once the trial feedback of "Elden Ring" is not good, things will become troublesome.

To be honest, Sayoko's words at this time felt a bit like pouring cold water on someone. However, there was more love in Tohru's eyes.

If Sayoko didn't really regard Dongchuan Che as her closest and most trusted person, there would be no need for her to say such offensive words.

Moreover, he knew that as his status became higher and higher, it would be impossible for him to completely avoid feeling arrogant. It was definitely a great fortune to have a virtuous wife who dared to remind him at any time.

Feeling the love in Toru Fuyukawa's eyes, Sayoko's eyes became even sweeter.

So, after helping Dongchuan Che smooth his collar, she stood on tiptoe and gently bit Dongchuan Che's lips, smiling coquettishly: "What wife? Che-kun is Sayoko's master."

"You are becoming more and more wild. Okay, I'll go first."

Feeling Sayoko's hot breath on his neck, Dongchuan Che's breathing quickened a little. But it was obvious that neither the venue nor the time allowed for further interaction.

He smiled and pinched Sayoko's fair little nose, then pinched Izumi Himawari's soft cheeks, and then took Kawaguchi to the Taketori Tsuru Restaurant.

.

Many game companies participated in the Tokyo Game Show Winter Exhibition organized by Takemoto Tamon, but not many companies were able to attend the drinking party at noon today. Including Fuyukawa Tetsu and SATE's Executive Director Kuriyama, there were only sixteen people in total.

As soon as he reached the front door of Taketori Tsuru Restaurant, Toru Fuyukawa met Executive Director Kuriyama.

It should be said that SATE is much bigger than Shengguangshe. To give an inappropriate example, the gap between the two is equivalent to that between Mihoyo and Tencent. But it is just like the relationship between Shengguangshe and Shanhe Group in China.

Although the Holy Light Society is not large enough at present, there is a great degree of complementarity between it and Shanhe Group and SATE in the fields it is engaged in.

There is complementarity and even a mutually supportive relationship in the business field. Especially after it was confirmed that "Elden Ring" would not be available on Giant Silver's SBOX console, but only on SATE's PH console, the relationship between the two parties became more harmonious.

Needless to say, when the two met, they naturally greeted each other in a friendly manner, and they were just about to put their arms around each other and call each other brothers. But what's interesting is that Fuyukawa Che not only met SATE's Executive Director Kuriyama, but also Kondo Ryûmiya's Executive Director - Sojiro.

Sojiro was a bald old man who was estimated to be in his seventies or eighties. He was short and skinny, and looked very fierce.

The first time he saw Sojiro, four words popped up in Toru Fuyukawa's mind - Matou Zouken.

This Sojiro really gives people a sense of déjà vu of the villain Matou Zouken from "Fate". In fact, when "Sword Art Online" just became popular, because of the public opinion war with Kondo Suzumeniya, many "Fate" fans were speculating whether Toru Fuyukawa created Matou Zouken based on Sojiro.

This is of course nonsense, after all, there was no such person as Sojiro in the previous life.

However, those fans were right about one thing, that is, he, Toru Fuyukawa, and this Sojiro did not get along well.

He, Toru Fuyukawa, has a good relationship with Executive Managing Director Kuriyama. On the one hand, it is because both of them really appreciate each other's abilities, but the more important reason is that there are no major conflicts between Shengguang Society and SATE in business.

However, the Seiko Company, which hopes to gain a foothold in multiple cultural fields such as animation, film, television, games, music and novels to form a cultural empire, can be said to be a complete enemy of Kondo Ryūmenomiya, who is also following the same path.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

However, Sojiro had dealt with Toru Fuyukawa before, and he knew that Toru Fuyukawa was not the kind of weak person who would "obediently listen to the teachings of seniors" or "seniors are seniors and should not be offended even if they do something wrong."

I was very unhappy, but I didn't dare to say it out loud.

So Sojiro glared at Toru Fuyukawa fiercely, and then took his men into the restaurant.

"Sojiro is a very narrow-minded person. Brother Fuyukawa, you better be careful in the future."

Managing Director Kuriyama gave him a few words of warning, and Toru Fuyukawa smiled and shrugged, "He's not qualified. He has so much financial, material and human resources, but he doesn't think about developing technology to compete with European and American giants. He just thinks about suppressing newcomers every day. He's nothing but a pile of bones in a grave."

"Haha, I've lived for so long, but this is the first time I've heard someone say that Sojiro is a dead bone in a grave. Brother Dongchuan is indeed not an ordinary person. To use an ancient Chinese poem to describe him, how can a golden scale be a real one."

"Come on, stop showing off your literary accomplishments and go in. I'm starving."

"."

In SATE, when I recite a poem, the audience will applaud and ask the audience humbly about the meaning. But Fuyukawa Tetsu didn't buy my account, and Executive Managing Director Kuriyama was very upset about this.

But he was not angry. After all, they had a drink together once, and after drinking, Fuyukawa Tetsu could recite Tang and Song poems at will. There were not many people in the Japanese gaming industry who could read ancient Chinese poems, and even fewer who could sit down and drink with him, the managing director Kuriyama. At that time, Fuyukawa Tetsu's behavior made him exclaim, "I am not alone in my way."

Executive Managing Director Kuriyama has always admired Toru Fuyukawa, a young man who is outstanding in terms of ability, character and taste.

Just

"This person has such a bad temper. He doesn't look like a softie who grew up in the Heisei era at all."

Executive Director Kuriyama scratched his head in annoyance.

Of course, Fuyukawa Che had no idea what Senior Managing Director Kuriyama was thinking. He was simply too lazy to chat about ancient poetry with this old man on the street.

After giving the other person a blank look, Fuyukawa Che took Kawaguchi into the wooden Taketori Tsuru Restaurant.

Taketori Tsuru is a high-end Japanese restaurant, even a bit like a private club. In addition, it is located in Chiyoda-ku, which is known as the "aristocratic district" and has the highest housing prices in Japan. Most of the people who come here to eat are either the leaders of the Mitsui Mitsubishi and other chaebols, or some senior government officials.

Things like tuna sashimi and king crab are just ordinary dishes here.

But it is obvious that people who come here to eat are not here just to eat.

Led by a woman in a kimono, Dongchuan Che soon came to a restaurant room with a sliding door. The restaurant room was large, with a wooden structure, and through the balcony, you could see the [moat] not far away and the [Imperial Palace] located in the middle of the moat, in the center of Chiyoda District.

He arrived relatively late. People like Chief Takemoto Tamon, NICO's Managing Director Kaneda, Sojiro from Kondo Ryûmiya, and even NTsoft's President Asai had all arrived.

Needless to say, as the most popular figure in the gaming industry in the past two years, Chief Takemoto Tamon was also very respectful. As soon as Dongchuan Che entered the door, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

The boss, Commander Takemoto Tamon, spoke. Except for Sojiro and NICO's Managing Director Kaneda, most people at the scene greeted them enthusiastically. Even Asai forced a smile and stood up to shake hands with Toru Fuyukawa, but his eyes were full of jealousy.

This is also normal.

More than a year ago, Dongchuan Che was just a small fry under his company, but now Dongchuan Che has become someone he has to stand up, bow to, and shake hands with.

It would be strange if he didn't feel uncomfortable with this kind of gap. However, Dongchuan Che didn't care about his reaction. He just sat in the fourth seat on the left side of the long table under the guidance of Chief Takemoto Tamon.

Fourth on the left!

Seeing Dongchuan Che sitting in this position, many people present narrowed their eyes slightly, especially Asai who was sitting at the back, there was even more jealousy in his eyes.

Although today's drinking party is just a casual chat, the seating arrangement also represents social status, and also represents the position of Toru Fuyukawa in the heart of Chief Takemoto Tamon.

The fourth on the left hand, Japan has been influenced by Chinese civilization since ancient times, and the left is also respected. The fourth on the left hand is equivalent to the importance of Fuyukawa Tetsu in the mind of Chief Takemoto Tamon, among the sixteen people in the audience, ranking seventh!

You have to know that the people who came to this drinking party today are all the top figures in the Japanese gaming industry!

This seat is really high!

However, this is not entirely a good thing.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!

Sitting in this position will attract a lot of attention and enjoy the envious glances and opportunities of others, but you will also suffer more jealousy and covetousness. If you want to keep your seat firmly, you need to rely on your strength!

"How dare this kid sit down."

"He didn't even bother to refuse. This Dongchuan is really as arrogant as the rumors say."

"It seems that he is very confident in his work?"

"If this trial he created fails, I'll see how he steps down!"
