Chapter 406.

Masayoshi Kishimoto put down his cell phone and then glanced sideways. Natsui Makoto stood not far away from himself is not sure to enter good, or retreat good?

She was in a dilemma for a moment. In fact, she didn’t intend to do it at all, but heard it after unintentionally stepping out of the nursery.

“What are you doing standing there foolishly? Come and sit down. Ask me whatever you want!” Masaru Kishimoto said very frankly.

Only then did Natsui Makoto re-step her feet towards him slowly, then turned her back and sat down on the side beside him without opening her mouth to speak.

Currently, she was conflicted in her heart. Asked out the things he did not want to know, it is better not to ask. If she didn’t ask, she wanted to know the truth.

Kishimoto Masayoshi couldn’t help but laugh at the difficult look on her face, ”Don’t hold it in. You’ll get sick more easily this way.”

“I didn’t eavesdrop on you talking on the phone.” Natsui Makoto took the initiative to explain.

“I also didn’t say that you eavesdropped on me talking on the phone.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without changing his smile.

Natsui Makoto lowered her head and went silent again. Although she hadn’t listened to all of it, she was able to guess that he was talking on the phone with a woman he was close to.

“You’re too embarrassed to ask, so I’ll just take the initiative to explain. That one caller just now was no one else, even you recognize her.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“I recognize?” Natsui Makoto snapped her head up to look at him, very surprised.

“Fukada Kyouko, you dare to say you don’t know.” Kishimoto Masayoshi said bluntly.

“Oh …… I do know her, but she doesn’t know me.” Natsui Makoto naturally knew this one actress. She was also deeply moved because she had watched God, Please Give Me More Time at the time.

On top of that, she also knew that the other party was the face of the Kishimoto Justice Hard Gold Group, as well as the fact that the scandal between the two of them had once been on the cover of Weekly Bunshun.

“Do you need me to introduce Kyoko Fukada to you personally? That way, she’ll know you as well.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was in no way joking.

“Aren’t you worried about me and her fighting in front of you?” Natsui Makoto asked tentatively.

“You’re really thinking too much. Kyoko Fukada and I are just normal friends. If I have to say that there’s a something between us, then it’s just a relatively close relationship.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Natsui Makoto said in disbelief.

“Why are you women all like this. Are our men’s words so untrustworthy in your minds one after another?” Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed again and said.

“I don’t know.” Natsui Makoto blurted out.

“This one thing doesn’t have any hint of peachy content. I’m very optimistic about a newly debuted female artist named Ayase Yao.

So I expressed my opinion to the board of directors of Hori Production Corporation, commonly known as Horipro, as a shareholder.

They disagreed with me. Since I was not a major shareholder, I was unable to carry out my intention at Horipro. You know that.

I’m a person who, once I’ve made up my mind to do something, I’m going to do it. If they don’t agree, then I will force them to agree.

Now, I’m acquiring the shares of Hori Productions from the Tokyo Stock Exchange so that I can become the company’s top shareholder. At that time, I will be able to propose the idea of promoting Ayase Yoko to the top, and it will go through smoothly.

As for the next step, Hori Productions would be fully integrated into Hard Gold Media. It becomes a grandchild of the Hard Gold Group, just like TV Tokyo.” Masayoshi Kishimoto rambled on.

He suddenly paused when he said that, swallowed, and then added, “I guess what Kyoko Fukada is thinking is that she mistakenly thinks that Ayaseya and I have a special private relationship of some kind.

In fact, we are a pure male-female relationship. I simply thought that Ayaseya was completely worth investing in from an investment point of view.

Of course, I’m afraid it’s not without Kyoko Fukada’s jealousy. She might think that if I promoted Ayaseyao to the top, it would weaken her position among the artists of Hori Productions.

Any company has limited resources. If one artist within the company gets more resources, then it’s inevitable that the other artists will get less resources.

If there is no support from the company’s resources to the artist, then it is water without a source, wood without a root. That’s essential for any artist who wants to mix within the entertainment industry.”

“I understand. Many artists are willing to offer themselves in order to get opportunities, or resources as you put it.” Natsui Makoto couldn’t help but associate it with the unspoken rules within the entertainment industry and said.

“Don’t you get the wrong idea. Ayase Yao didn’t offer herself towards me. I just think she deserves an investment to build.” Masayoshi Kishimoto reiterated.

Natsui Makoto believed him on that. She also knew that what could she do if she didn’t believe it? In all fairness, she herself had not seen Ayaseyao as he said, but she had seen Fukada Kyoko. How could she possibly win against the beautiful actress in this competition?

“This once there is competition, the relationship between people becomes subtle. Even close coworkers within a company will each have their own agenda.

From my point of view, whoever has more value and is more able to make money for the company, then I will put more resources into whoever I can. Whether you’re starting a company or making an investment, there’s no such thing as not making money to win.” Justice Kishimoto said slowly.

“You’re doing this. Shin will negatively affect the good relationship between you and Kyoko Fukada.” Natsui Makoto said bluntly.

“It can’t be helped. The friendship between me and Fukada Kyouko is to be spoken of. However, it cannot override the interests of the company.

If making an investment involves personal feelings in it, then nine times out of ten, that investment will be done badly. I’m a man who likes to win, not lose.

As a matter of fact, I do feel that Ayaseyao’s personal value is far greater than that of Fukada Kyoko. Even if the former is a newcomer who just debuted not long ago, it doesn’t mean that she has to be ranked in terms of seniority.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke bluntly.

Hearing him say that, Natsui Makoto’s heart in turn became more and more at ease. She did not fail to feel that as long as Fukada Kyouko did not give up on her personal acting career, then the other party would remain unable to get really close to Kishimoto Masayoshi like she was with him.

The reasoning was actually quite simple. He was a man who preferred one size to fit all, and wouldn’t confuse the two things at all. This was especially true when there was also the aspect of the company’s interests involved.
