Chapter 674: Big Brother of the Financial World
In the evening, Masayoshi Kishimoto met with Kyoko Fukada at a fine French restaurant as promised. He tended to pack the entire place in advance for his appearances at public restaurants. The two men faced each other and drank their pre-dinner drinks.
“You really are a different person nowadays, getting more and more of the style and appearance of a big shot in the financial world.” Fukada Kyoko rushed at him is a slight smile and said.
“You are likewise not that newcomer in the past who just made his debut. You’ve also grown to become a hot big star in the current acting world.” Justice Kishimoto said bluntly.
“Without you, how could I quickly become a big star? To put it bluntly, I’m likewise one of the employees under you, making money on your behalf.” Kyoko Fukada said without any inflection.
“Chance only favors prepared minds. If you’re not good in your own abilities, even if more resources are invested in you, you won’t receive much good results.
I’m an investor, and by nature, I’m most favorable to diamonds in the rough that others haven’t discovered or don’t pay attention to.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly.
“Hearing you say that makes me suddenly feel somewhat sad. In your mind, I turned out to be just an investment object worthy of obtaining a high return for you.” Kyoko Fukada sighed.
“How come? I still remember that you like French food, so I chartered this place for you. The French cook well, and in conjunction with their so-called romance, they always manage to make some of you women fall head over heels for French food.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
Kyoko Fukada rested her left hand on her cheeks and said, “You’re good at everything, but having a bad taste is bad. It’s not that I’m talking about you, it’s not like the other person, Ishihara Satomi, invited you to mess with you.
At such a young age, she has been pranked by you for a night. Aren’t you worried that the other party’s mental capacity is poor and she can’t think straight for a while and committed suicide.”
“Although Japan is a big country for suicides, not all Japanese are weak at heart. I’m not badgering Ishihara Satomi, but I’m examining whether she’s really willing to make the realization, determination, and willingness to go out of her way for the sake of her passionate acting career.
If you don’t have the determination to put your life on the line, you’ll never be able to do anything right. If I hadn’t made a big effort to raise money to start my own business, I wouldn’t be able to sit face to face with you in this fine French restaurant and talk to you today. Therefore, I am certain that Ishihara Satomi will not commit suicide because of this.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke eloquently.
“What if? What if you look away?” Kyoko Fukada said with a smirk.
“Even if it’s an eventuality as you say, it still leaves me with nothing to lose. As of now, Ishihara Satomi is nothing more than a rookie in the district.
She doesn’t have as much commercial value as you do. If there’s an eventuality with you, I’ll have a lot to lose.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto had known for a long time that the other party had grown up, saying goodbye to the immaturity of the past, and thus was becoming more and more mature.
When he spoke to Fukada Kyouko, he was completely unable to use that kind of small means of coaxing a superficial woman. The mutual attraction and appreciation between mature men and women was because of each other’s charms, not to curry favor with each other.
“Should your words make me happy? Or should I be sad?” Fukada Kyouko certainly understood where her value lay.
Although she knew that his words were the big truth, it was inevitable that she would also feel so uncomfortable in her heart. Between the two of them, there was both an up-and-down relationship between the boss and the employee, as well as the existence of a friend relationship.
Their relationship as boss and employee was completely justifiable. According to that piece of paper, the legal contract stipulates that the two people take away the part of interest belonging to each of them, and no one owes anyone.
As friends, it’s natural to cut out the benefits. In terms of human emotion above all else, it would make people feel thin-skinned.
“You’re not so much as to expect me to say something false to you! I’m sure you understand that I’m saying this because I truly consider you a friend.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without haste.
“People, especially women, sometimes just don’t like to hear the truth in favor of falsehoods.” Kyoko Fukada smiled sweetly and said.
Masayoshi Kishimoto was a veteran in the world of love, so of course he understood. Women love to listen to falsehoods, that also depends on the object, not just anyone.
Just as a rich and handsome man walloped a girl, that would make the girl feel especially romantic, and the other person was also full of manliness.
Short and poor or poor losers follow the example of the president of the hegemony in love with me this kind of routine to wallop girls, it is in the hooliganism.
In addition to the girl will scream, light hand is to give it two slaps, heavy will also call the police. At that time, sexual harassment is certainly not escape. A little heavier is the crime of insulting women.
At this time, the appetizer was sent to Kishimoto Masayoshi and Fukada Kyoko by two waitresses. Even though they recognized Kyoko Fukada at the first moment, they didn’t dare to take the initiative to ask the other party for an autograph or a group photo.
As for Masayoshi Kishimoto, even if they didn’t recognize him, they knew that the other party wouldn’t be a shrimp or crab. Otherwise, how could he have asked Fukada Kyoko to dinner alone, as well as having enough financial resources to pack this place?
Things come in different classes and people come in different groups. There were rules about what class of people had contact and dealings with what class of people. Not to mention in Japan, where classes are strict.
“Your wife wouldn’t be upset if you and I were photographed by the paparazzi having dinner together, would she?” Kyoko Fukada asked in a purposeful manner as she picked up the dinner knife in one hand and the other was picking up the dinner fork.
Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed and said, “It’s not like we’re coming out of or going in to a hotel. What’s wrong with such a normal social event between our friends?
Is it hard to believe that you wish to be on the cover of Bunshun Weekly with me once more? Now, there’s absolutely no chance of that. If you want to be on the cover of the gossip weekly, you’d have to be in a media that’s not owned by the Hard Gold Group. With your current fame, do you still need to speculate on gossip?”
Of course, Fukada Kyouko knew that Literary Spring Publishing House was a grandson company of the Hard Gold Group, and Literary Spring Weekly was just a kind of publication put on sale by Literary Spring Publishing House.
Even if the two of them were photographed intimately by the paparazzi, it wouldn’t be exposed on top of the Bungeishun Weekly. TV Tokyo’s entertainment news section is the same thing that would appear without mentioning a word about it.
Other than that, the rest of the entertainment newspapers and magazines, TV stations and other mass media would also be handled with caution. Weak media, naturally, could not afford to mess with them and did not dare to report on them.
For the powerful media, there will be someone who will inform Kishimoto’s secretary’s office in advance. All of this is a routine operation within the media industry.
Only if Masayoshi Kishimoto himself doesn’t care, then he will let the public see his lace news. On the contrary, the public would not see these things exist.
After all, they all control a certain amount of public opinion and power of speech in their hands. As long as both sides were not hostile, then both would know how to go about it.
