Chapter 147 The Secretary

On Monday morning, Mirai Yamada walked onto the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts and headed straight for the administrative office building. After two inquiries, she finally found Professor Suzuki’s office.

Professor Suzuki sat on top of his chair looking at the strange woman in front of him and blurted out, “Who are you looking for?”

Yamada Mirai walked to his desk, took out her own business card box, pulled out a card from it and handed it out with both hands, “Before this, we had contacted each other by phone. Hello, Professor Suzuki. My name is Yamada Mirai, and I am the secretary of President Masayoshi Kishimoto of Hard Gold Capital Corporation.”

Professor Suzuki took the business card without looking at it. A smile instantly appeared on his face as he warmly greeted and gestured, “Please have a seat.”

Yamada Mirai graciously walked over to a seat and sat down. She didn’t have any nervousness at all and appeared calm inside.

Professor Suzuki placed the business card in his hand on top of his desk, then stood up and came around. He personally poured water for the other party on one side, and on the other side, he asked in a purposeful manner, “President Kishimoto asked you to come here?”

“Yes. Although you and our president have reached a verbal agreement, the specific details still require a negotiation between the two of us.” Yamada Mirai said bluntly.

After Professor Suzuki rested the paper cup with pure water on top of the small coffee table in the middle of the two single sofas, he also sat down and smiled, somewhat puzzled, “What else is there to negotiate about?”

“We, Hard Gold Capital Corporation, have contracted three hundred concert tickets, which means that we have funded half of it. For this reason, we want to implant our Hard Gold Capital Company’s advertisements on the concert promotions, posters, and so on.” Yamada Mirai face-to-face seriously said.

“This is natural, no problem.” In his heart, Professor Suzuki was eager for them to do so, lest someone would mutter in private that he had paid for his daughter’s concert.

In this way, it is also good to let everyone know that he is widely socialized, there is no lack of company sponsorship, but also to block the mouth of a long time. In addition, the daughter and no reputation for small concerts, even if the sale of advertising space, no one to buy. He took it as a favor.

“Solo concert this statement is not good. I suggest changing it to, concerts or concerts that reflect two people working together.

The promotional poster should naturally have Ms. Sakai Rie on it in addition to your daughter. The size of the two people’s pictures should also be equal.” Yamada Mirai said in a serious manner.

Professor Suzuki’s buttocks shifted on the sofa surface and his body tilted towards her side as he objected, “Why did President Kishimoto change his mind?”

“Our president never changes his mind, does he! He promised you to buy three days of concerts, one hundred tickets per day, that’s a total of three hundred tickets, is there one less?” Yamada Mirai said, standing completely on her side’s interest.

“But, this is clearly my daughter’s solo concert. Rie Sakai only appeared as an invited guest to perform one or two programs with my daughter.” Prof. Suzuki harmonized his conception and said.

“Professor Suzuki, I’m afraid this kind of proposal of yours goes against the principle of fairness between both parties! We, Hard Gold Capital Corporation, are paying half of the money, but we’re making people from our side play supporting roles, is it appropriate?” Yamada Mirai argued with reason.

“The problem is, I also arranged a chance for Rie Sakai to enter the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra as a trainee Western flutist.” Professor Suzuki said plainly.

“Even you yourself said it was an opportunity, which means it hasn’t been realized yet. Things that haven’t been realized have variables. Having variables can make everything not count.

Our president is a man who loves and respects the art of music. He personally told me not to let you suffer.

If this mini concert is a success, Hard Gold Capital will also fully fund the release of a single album music video for Ms. Suzuki and Ms. Sakai, which will also include advertisements from Hard Gold Capital.” Yamada Mirai said truthfully.

“Is it true to release a single album music video?” Prof. Suzuki made a confirmation and said.

Yamada Mirai took out the contract she had prepared long ago and said, “Here is the contract. If you don’t believe me, please take a look.

After both of us have finalized the details, we can officially sign it. At that time, there will be a legal guarantee.”

Professor Suzuki took the contract from her hand and couldn’t wait to look through it. His greatest wish all along was not to train his daughter to follow her own path and stay in the school to teach music, but to hold special concerts and publish music albums like a musician. ……

If you want to do it, not only rely on personal talent and ability, but also more need external help, especially need to have a company someone is willing to invest.

“This matter, we are not in a hurry. You can take your time to look at it, or you can give us an answer after you’ve negotiated.” Yamada Mirai said as she took the initiative of the negotiation.

Professor Suzuki heard her say that, so he closed the contract that he hadn’t finished reading and said, “This becomes impure. The art of music is all about purity.”

“Professor Suzuki, your set of sayings about the art of music is not very practical for some of us mundanes who practice business.

We are concerned with the ratio between investment and return. How can there be anything truly pure in the modern business world?

Even the most elegant art needs to cooperate with business. Without advertising, how can more people know you exist? I don’t believe that you don’t even understand that?”

Yamada Mirai was not only trying to maximize the benefits for her side, but also so that she could show the others within Hard Gold Capital where her outstanding abilities lay.

She, a president’s secretary, was not a vase, and definitely did not belong to the type of woman who had something to do as a secretary and was fucked by the president when nothing was going on.

“I still recognize Rie Sakai’s attainments in professional art. It’s not impossible for her and my daughter to work together to organize a concert.

Only, she still lacks fire. This …… “Prof. Suzuki intentionally said his words halfway, aiming to get the other party to make some concessions Dao.

“Does this matter? Even if Ms. Sakai can’t do anything, it won’t have any effect on her. It seems that Professor Suzuki has never been clear about an important objective fact, what our President Kishimoto has invested in from the beginning to the end is not any art, but a person.

That person is Ms. Sakai. To put it bluntly, our president is promoting her to the top. Even without the existence of this concert by your daughter, it won’t get in the way of what he wants to do.

It’s not for us that it’s an opportunity, it’s for you that it’s an opportunity.” Yamada Mirai couldn’t help but smile and hit the nail on the head.
