Chapter 328: The Rightful Owner
Sakai Rie was fully dressed, and with her invitation was seated at the charity dinner venue. Knowing that coming here was not meant to be about what to eat, she had dined in advance.
Since Masayoshi Kishimoto had succeeded in taking over the entire Roppongi Old Town redevelopment project, and established the banner of the Kishimoto family as a hard-core gold plutocrat, Rie Sakai had been given the opportunity to be treated as a noble husband and wife, and to be treated in a much higher position.
Naturally, she would not be placed in a corner by the organizers, but rather in a prominent position at the head table in the front row.
This can sit on the first table of any position above the people, is bound to be not the general non-wealthy that is, all the rich and powerful. They all knew in their hearts that being charitable was one aspect and a front, the other aspect was the main motivation for being able to come here and socialize.
“What a coincidence, you turned out to be here as well!” Kyoko Fukada said as she took the initiative to come up and greet Rie Sakai.
“Right..! It’s a good coincidence. Just one person?” Sakai Rie smiled.
“I’m not alone! I’m not going to lie, it took the agency a lot of effort to get an invitation to this charity dinner.” Kyoko Fukada told the truth.
“No way! You’re a hot star at the moment.” Rie Sakai was surprised for a moment and said.
“I’m a star only in the eyes of ordinary people. Here, I’m just an ordinary person. It’s all about a strength here.” Kyoko Fukada was placed above a back row edge seat.
She was still coming for the sole purpose of expanding her network and socializing. On top of that, it was to increase her exposure as well as to establish a good personal image in the public’s mind.
If an agency really wanted to hide someone, it wouldn’t be easy. They can teach you how to behave and ruin your career in minutes.
For this reason, artists who can not work, naturally no income. This wasn’t even what they feared the most. What they were most afraid of was fading out of the audience’s view for a long time, which meant that they would be forgotten.
All the hard work they had put in before would come to nothing. The result of breaking the contract will be a huge financial compensation. This is also the “contract of sale” for artists.
Therefore, not only the eighteen line starlets, even the well-known actresses, it is not easy to escape the fate of being manipulated and played by powerful men.
Investing in a movie, whether it’s a movie, a TV series, or even an advertisement, you need to spend a lot of money upfront.
Who can’t guarantee that what is made will be a hit? Even to the height of the Japanese movie emperor Kurosawa Akira, but also in his life had a low point.
Not only did he lose money, but he also lost his reputation. No Season’s Market” was a box office failure, no company was willing to invest in Kurosawa’s movie, and he even tried to commit suicide.
In the end, if it wasn’t for two of Kurosawa’s loyal foreign fans who pulled in the money to invest in him to continue making movies, there would have been no Shadow Samurai, his later movie classic.
Investors don’t get their money from the wind for nothing, much less fools. They are not fools. They will not do anything that is not sweet at all. Thus, all sorts of unspoken rules were spawned within the entertainment industry.
At this moment, Sakai Rie did not see Kishimoto Masayoshi beside Fukada Kyoko, and fully believed that he really went to talk business with the Mitsubishi Group Iwasaki family, after all, the scandal between the two of them once became the cover of Weekly Bunshun.
Even if she didn’t say anything above her mouth, in her heart she knew that the relationship between Fukada Kyoko and Kishimoto Masayoshi was not ordinary, beyond the realm of ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend.
Now, the other party was standing in front of her like this, what did it mean? Could it be that this was her demonstration towards herself?
Her heart suddenly laughed coldly, even if the demonstration, so what? Even if it was a demonstration, so what? If she was sitting in this position, she had already proved that she was the one to be the first wife.
As for Fukada Kyoko, or any other woman, it is only a minor wife at most. The woman who could not even be a lover to Masayoshi Kishimoto was also the saddest of all, falling into his plaything.
“Currently, his career is getting more and more prosperous.” Fukada Kyoko had originally put the word “justice” to the edge of her mouth, but then put it back.
She did not mean it, but it was a habit. She knew very well what kind of background this woman called Sakai Rie had in front of her. She can’t just offend and make a grudge like this.
Calling Masayoshi Kishimoto the chairman or something felt too strange. She thought about it for a while, and then used the word “he” to represent it.
Sakai Rie was still uncomfortable when she heard the word “he” come out of the other party’s mouth. She felt that Kyoko Fukada was calling her too close.
However, in front of the public, she definitely could not be offended. She was not only representing an individual, but also the Kishimoto family.
At the same time, she did not fail to notice that the reporters in the surrounding area were aiming their “long guns” at this side. She didn’t want to be on the headlines as a shrew.
“Tonight, he went to talk to the Iwasaki family of the Mitsubishi Group, did he say anything to you?” Sakai Rie had a bright idea and gave full play to his poisonous tongue specialty and said.
Fukada Kyouko froze for a moment. The two of them had originally arranged to watch the grand fireworks display in the harbor area together tonight, but they hadn’t expected Masayoshi Kishimoto to have such a thing up his sleeve. At first, this was not what he had told himself. Otherwise, one would not have appeared here.
“You’ve known each other for a few years, and you’re considered old friends. For this reason, there were quite a few people who misunderstood that you were boyfriend and girlfriend. All along, I don’t believe in those boring things on top of Weekly Wenchun.
I apologize for the trouble he caused you. He told me that when you met, he had just started his business.
At that time, he said he wanted to be able to control trillions of dollars of capital by the time he was forty-five. I laughed at him for that.
I also wonder if he said something about me in front of you.” Rie Sakai looked around and said with a smiling face.
The moment these words came out, the people around immediately knew who was the rightful owner. Not only that, the relationship between these two was not as good as it seemed on the surface.
As for the scandal and whatnot, they were completely inappropriate. Who’s man has not had a what with the actress? Seeing strange, strange defeats itself.
Fukada Kyouko was instantly speechless. She and Masayoshi Kishimoto hadn’t spent much time alone together in the first place. Even when they were together, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to take the initiative to dig into his other women’s affairs to cause the other party’s resentment. This woman who dared to take the initiative to ask him about this one aspect, that was naturally the main man.
