Chapter 158: The Little Fat Girl
Kyouko Fukada walked into the infield, and instead of people taking their seats and waiting for the concert to start, she saw a bustling scene. Many people were exchanging business cards with each other while talking about something.
She paid a little attention to what people were wearing, and easily recognized that this was a showcase of the world’s biggest luxury brands.
Watches, not only top Swiss watches, but also gold watches with diamonds. Bags, not Hermes platinum bags, are embarrassed to say hello to people ……
Fukada Kyoko noticed that Kishimoto Masayoshi had already been surrounded by a number of people in the center. Beside him was a cute young girl he didn’t recognize accompanying him like a shadow.
“That person is Masayoshi Yanai of Uniqlo. He owns over three hundred directly-managed outlets. Our HORIPRO’s Fujiwara Norika is the face of Uniqlo.
It seems that this friend of yours is really not simple, even Yanai Masashi can be invited. Let’s go over and say hello!” The agent sidled towards Fukada Kyouko and whispered.
Fukada Kyouko didn’t care about any youkai or Yanai Masayoshi. Although she walked along with the agent in that direction towards Yanai Masayoshi, she was also rushing towards Kishimoto Masayoshi.
At this point in time, Yanai Masayoshi and Masayoshi Kishimoto were not only catching up, but they were also chatting about business matters.
Fukada Kyouko and her manager managed to make their way over, but were unable to enter. Even though Kyoko Fukada was already famous, it didn’t mean that she was able to make her presence known to these people.
On the one hand, there were the landed gentry, led by the owner of the rich and powerful Pachinko parlor, who simply wouldn’t have the patience to sit at home and watch some idol drama.
As long as men have free time, they would have already gone to clubs and nightclubs where there are beautiful women to hang out. Otherwise, they are on their way there.
On the other hand, the professors at the Tokyo University of the Arts don’t even look down on bad idol dramas. They were playing high art music.
Masayoshi Kishimoto noticed Kyoko Fukada, who was standing on the periphery and was not allowed to enter, and took the initiative to wave towards her, saying with a smile, “The little fat girl is here.”
As soon as his words fell, the people standing on the periphery were the ones who knew how to be funny and made way for Kyoko Fukada and her manager.
“Only you would call me Little Fat Girl like that.” Kyoko Fukada grumbled.
“You do look bejeweled. As far as I can remember, you’ve always been in this physical shape since the beginning of our acquaintance until now.” Masayoshi Kishimoto chuckled softly.
“This one lovely girl beside you, could it be tonight’s leading lady, Ms. Sakai Rie?” When Kyoko Fukada entered, she didn’t bother to pay attention to the person on top of one of the publicity posters.
“Nope. She’s Rie Sakai’s own sister, Mirei Sakai.” Masayoshi Kishimoto corrected.
“You, you must be Kyoko Fukada who played the innocent 16 year old high school girl, Makio Yano, in the romantic drama ‘God, Please Give Me More Time’!
I love your character, Makio Yano. It feels like she’s a lot like me.” Sakai Mirei’s eyes lit up and she looked quite excited as she said.
Fukada Kyouko revealed her own signature charming smile and politely blurted out a “thank you”.
“Am I able to take a picture with you?” Sakai Mirei requested.
Fukada Kyouko nodded her head, her smile still charming as she said, “Yes!”
“Then let’s go over there!” The camera that Sakai Mirei had brought with her was originally intended to capture her sister’s performance on stage. Now, she was using it herself first.
She handed the camera over to Masayoshi Kishimoto and said, “Brother Masayoshi, you take our picture.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto took the camera she handed out and smiled at Masayoshi Yanai, “Little girl.”
Yanai Masayoshi responded with the same smile and gestured with his right hand, “Make yourself at home.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto, along with Kyoko Fukada, and Mirei Sakai were walking to a corner where no one was. At the same time, the agent of Kyoko Fukada took the opportunity to take out her own business card box in a hurry, from which she drew out one after another, and one by one, the business cards in her hand were sent to the hands of these people with both hands.
She and can not understand the reasoning that things are grouped together, people are grouped together? If these people didn’t have the strength and family background, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even have the qualifications to stand around here.
On the other side of the room, Sakai Misuzu was holding Fukada Kyoko in her arms, showing a very close smile to face the camera in Kishimoto Masayoshi’s hands.
Masayoshi Kishimoto held the camera and said to the two of them, “Three, two, one, eggplant. Okay.”
Sakai Misuzu wasn’t satisfied with that and said, “Masayoshi, give us a few more shots!”
Masayoshi Kishimoto responded with a “yes” and once again pointed the camera at Kyoko Fukada and Misuzu Sakai, who were standing in front of him.
Fukada Kyouko did not show the slightest hint of displeasure at all. She was very cooperative, and even took the initiative to extend her arms to hug Sakai Mirei beside her.
All of this that she did, of course, would not be a simple response to the enthusiasm of one of her fans, it was all on top of the many years of friendship between herself and Masayoshi Kishimoto. Who made Sakai Mirei’s relationship with him extraordinary again?
Masayoshi Kishimoto took five more pictures of them with various expressions and movements before ending the photo shoot. He handed the camera in his hand back to Sakai Mirei.
Masayoshi Kishimoto focused his attention on Kyoko Fukada and said, “How about we discuss a matter?”
“What do you want to discuss with me?” Kyoko Fukada looked at him without understanding and said.
“Our Hard Gold Capital Corporation needs an image spokesperson. I see that you’re not bad. With your bejeweled body like a piggy bank, you’re perfectly capable of attracting wealth.” Justice Kishimoto smiled.
“Darn it, making fun of me again.” Fukada Kyouko feigned anger.
“I’m really not joking. I want to choose you to be the face of our company. As for the number of years, is it okay to buy you out for life?” Masayoshi Kishimoto put away his smiling face and said in a serious manner.
Fukada Kyoko understood that the other party was giving herself a chance. To put it bluntly, it was on the basis of a good relationship with each other that was why he chose himself as the image spokesperson of Hard Gold Capital Corporation.
“This is something that I can’t do alone. You’ll have to discuss it with my manager.” Kyoko Fukada said matter-of-factly.
“Then tell your agent for me that the president of Hard Gold Capital Corporation, who is also a shareholder of your HORIPRO (Hori Production Co., Ltd.), has approached her to talk about the matter concerning the image spokesperson.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto, who had made a fortune from shorting the ruble, had incidentally bought 10% of HORIPRO’s common stock from the stock market.
Kyoko Fukada was dumbfounded. Her own HORIPRO firm is not a small company. For the other party to hold 10% of the shares was a lot of money.
