Chapter 666: Ishihara Satomi
At 7:30 PM, Satomi Ishihara was dropped off by her agent at the entrance of a fancy Japanese food pavilion, but did not follow her inside. Without saying anything more to her, the manager let the cab driver drive straight away.
Ishihara Satomi walked in slowly with an incredibly apprehensive heart. The year was 2002, and she was not yet 16, only 15 years old.
In the same year, she participated in the 27th HORIPRO new artist audition and won the best newcomer “Perfect Girl” award, thus officially entering the entertainment industry as an actress.
As soon as Ishihara Satomi appeared at the front desk of the high-class Japanese restaurant pavilion, she saw a woman dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono come to her with a graceful step and smiled, “Tonight, this place has been booked out to enjoy the cherry blossoms at night.”
Ishihara Satomi instantly froze right in her tracks. She had been clearly told by her manager in advance that she would be meeting an extremely important big shot at eight o’clock tonight, and that she could not yet refuse.
If she refused, her fledgling career as an artist would come to a halt. Therefore, the cruel reality in front of her was that she had no choice.
Ishihara Satomi had arrived here half an hour early, and that was also observing the one etiquette that should be expected of her. She didn’t dare to turn around and leave, after all, her manager had explained the importance of this one thing to her over and over again.
Ishihara Satomi was suddenly very nervous in her heart. This feeling was even more nervous than her participation in HORIPRO’s 27th Artist Rookie Audition.
Although she was young, but she had long known the various unspoken rules that existed within the entertainment industry. It was not without thought that she was afraid that her personal trip to come would be more or less disastrous.
She rose red face, voice is obviously to be smaller than the weekdays inside some said: “I called Ishihara Rimi, is someone invited me to come here.”
“Oh …… so you are Ms. Ishihara Satomi!” Dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono, this one female not only looked the other party over from head to toe, but also smiled a bit meaningfully.
She had originally thought that the honored person she was entertaining tonight would be a golden young lady from a famous family, but she didn’t expect it to be an ordinary girl who was underage, after all, it was completely obvious from the other party’s clothes and her tender face.
She paused for a moment, then made a signaling motion with her right hand inward, then added, “Please come inside.”
Ishihara Satomi took off her shoes at the entrance and followed her step by step inside. Her heart was beating wildly.
She didn’t know where she had gone before she noticed that the person walking in front of her had stopped. So, he followed and stopped his footsteps.
A door was pulled open by the other, and with a complex and heavy heart she turned her body before taking a step inside. Before she could sit down on her knees, the fan door was closed.
Ishihara Satomi’s attention was suddenly drawn to the cherry blossom tree outside the room. In order for the guests to be able to enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms at night, the shopkeeper had naturally put in enough effort, and through the professionals, the lights that had been adjusted to the right angle and brightness were shone onto the cherry blossom trees planted in the courtyard.
“It’s so beautiful.” Ishihara Satomi couldn’t help but blurt out when she saw how beautiful this scene was.
Seeing such a beautiful scene alone in this room, the uneasiness in her heart was alleviated to a certain extent.
When the door was opened again, Masayoshi Kishimoto walked in. He appeared particularly calm and collected, and directly sat cross-legged in front of the four-sided table that was placed on the tatami mat.
Ishihara Satomi’s attention was diverted from the cherry blossom tree. She stood looking at this young man she had never met before, but did not say a word.
At this time, one after another exquisite dishes that had already been prepared by the shopkeeper were brought to the table. This is naturally the Japanese national banquet sake, Van.
It was not directly served a whole bottle, but was first poured into a beautiful Japanese porcelain wine bottle. Once again, the door was slammed shut.
Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t ask Satomi Ishihara to come and sit down, and directly picked up the chopsticks in his right hand and started to eat. On one side, he was feasting as if no one else was there, and on the other side, he was also drinking to himself.
Ishihara Satomi was very strange at the same time, and gathered enough courage to ask: “Is the big man not coming? Are you his secretary, or something?”
“What are you standing so far away for? Afraid I’ll eat you? You’re so timid.” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t answer the two questions she posed, but only said with a slight smile.
Ishihara Satomi was so provoked by him that she was unconvinced and said, “I have a lot of guts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have appeared here alone.”
“Looking at this one of you, it’s more than likely that you ate before coming here. That’s why you’re not hungry.” Masayoshi Kishimoto once again laughed a little and said.
Ishihara Satomi didn’t feel it a moment ago, after all, her entire mind was not on eating. Just at this moment, she suddenly felt that it was hunger.
Before she took a step, she carefully looked and looked at the other person’s appearance to see that he didn’t look like a bad person, so she took a step towards him and sat down on her knees across from him.
Ishihara Satomi suddenly was heartfelt, not caring about that much, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. With the idea that it’s a blessing that can’t be avoided, she didn’t bother to think much about it.
“Do you know what you were told to come here for?” Justice Kishimoto asked without haste.
“My agent told me it was to meet an extremely important big shot. Not only her, but even the president of our HORIPRO company is completely afraid to say no to this person.
Not only that, even the president of our Hard Gold Media, Shingo Oda, has to look up to him.” Satomi Ishihara said bluntly.
“Could it be that you haven’t thought that your trip here would be a sheep in a tiger’s mouth?” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
Ishihara Satomi instantly stopped the chopsticks in her hand to clip something to eat. It was fine if she didn’t say it, but after he said that, she really got scared.
Ishihara Satomi couldn’t help but cry and said: ”How come I’m so unlucky to be looked at by a weird grandfather? It’s not like I’m pretty ……”
“You’re rather distinctive looking! Your best feature is right above your mouth. Not to mention that this kind of opportunity doesn’t come to everyone. As far as I know, you’re the third.
The first was Kyoko Fukada, and the second was Ayaseyao. Ayase Yoyo, you may not be familiar with. Fukada Kyoko, you should be familiar with her! She’s the number one actress at HORIPRO.
If you’re able to make him happy, then you’ll be able to have quite a few appearances next year, and you’ll be able to be fully promoted to fame.” Masayoshi Kishimoto interrupted without waiting for her to finish her sentence.
Ishihara Satomi used the backs of her right and left hands to wipe the teardrops that rolled out of her eyes and said, “Hate it. I don’t want to be suborned. I just want to use my personal strength to prove myself as a good actress.”
