Tokyo Bubble Life Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Chapter 667: When facing a group of evil wolves, be more ferocious than them!

 “Yah Bai!”

Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, suddenly slapped the steering wheel and put Otomo Yoshimura in the passenger seat, who regretted not saying more to his idol. He was startled.

Even Taro Ying, who was lying on his back in the back seat, pricked up his ears.

“What's wrong? Did you hit someone?” Yoshimura Otomo looked around.

"No!" Naoki Nagayama was a little irritated, "I just forgot one thing."

"What's up?"

“I promised to get a signed record for Akina and I didn't even think about it!” Nagayama Naoki patted his forehead.

“That's it?” Yoshimura Otomo breathed a sigh of relief, “After this happens, just ask the Kobe Entertainment Club for a few tickets!”

Although "The Continuous Stream" was given to Misora ​​Hibari as a gift, there was no creation fee at most, and it does not mean that it was also a gift to Kobe Entertainment Club. The cumulative sales of this song's records are at least one million, and even Is there anything more than giving free money to Kobe Entertainment Club?

 Hence, I will definitely negotiate with Kobe Entertainment Club on the sharing of songs and sign a formal contract.

“So today we will go to Kobe City and stay one night?”

Nagayama Naoki is currently in Rokurokuso Town, Ashiya City. It takes about twenty minutes to drive to Kobe. He drove over from Kyoto at noon and stayed at Misora ​​Hibari's house for a while. It was almost evening when he arrived in Kobe.

“Well, since I've come to Kobe, of course I have to try Kobe's beef and Akashi-yaki!” Yoshimura Otomo also looked forward to it.

“Okay, let's stay in a hotel for one night and go back tomorrow.” Forget it if you want to play. A handsome young man like Nagayama Naoki would be misunderstood if he went out to a tourist attraction with a middle-aged man!

 The two people who ran away under the pretext of a business trip agreed to extend their vacation.

On the other side, Hibari Misora ​​listened to Masahiro Ikegami, the head of the Kobe Performing Arts Club, finish talking about the disputes within the Nagayama family and the Yamaguchi-gumi.

“Is KTV actually so profitable? The other team leaders are all excited. Do you want to put pressure on the Yondaime to give up his commitment to the Nagayama team?”

Mizora Hibari was very curious. KTV's revenue could actually make many team leaders boo.

However, this time, in addition to Misaka Takahiro, the chief of the East Asia Conference's Chinese group, who is the main force, other immediate group leaders are also making noises. Even the group leaders who have not spoken may be just waiting for opportunities.

"What a headache!" Hibari Misora ​​hammered the song "Continuous Flow" on the table, "I know it's hard to return such an expensive gift!"

However, after complaining, Misora ​​Hibari still used her brain to think about the context. Her relationship with the third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi gave her a good understanding of the internal style of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

“The Yondaime naming ceremony will take place around next month. However, there are only 40 direct team leaders participating in the consolidation of the cup, and there are more than 20 team leaders supporting the former acting team leader Yamamoto Hiroshi.”

 In other words, the opponent is very strong, and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the fourth generation's naming ceremony!

 Recently, at Tian Gang Residence, the fourth generation Takenaka Masahisa and the third generation sister Taoka Fumiko are frequently meeting with the team leaders and younger brothers. On the one hand, they are strengthening emotional ties, and on the other hand, they are also trying to impress those team leaders who may be wavering.

 “If the Yondaime is in urgent need of prestige and something happens that he fails to keep his promise,” Misora ​​Hibari seemed to know how he should repay this gift of thanks.

So, she immediately called Fumiko Taoka.

 “Sister Wenzi.”

Hibari Misora's voice was very affectionate. She was only 9 years old when Kazuo Taoka took a fancy to Hibari Misora's aura.

Having been together for many years, Taoka Kazuo, who is in his 40s, regards her more as a daughter, while Taoka Fumiko is slightly younger and is equivalent to Misora ​​Hibari's eldest sister.

“Wazuedchan!” Misora ​​Hibari's original name is Kato Kazue, but now only a few people close to her know this name. “Why did you call me all of a sudden?”

"Because I am going to the Kobe Entertainment Club to discuss a song today, I want to visit Sister Fumiko tonight." Hibari Misora ​​certainly knows how busy Taoka Di is lately, "But I heard that Taoka Di is very busy recently, so I called in advance. Call and ask.”

"Ah, no matter how busy I am, I won't stay until night." Taoka Fumiko said, "I haven't seen Kazuedchan for a long time!"

“Hi, I'll come over after I finish talking with the entertainment club~”

After Hibari Misora ​​put down the phone, she asked the maid to tell the driver to prepare the car.

We couldn't talk about much when we went to the Kobe Entertainment Club. In fact, we could talk on the phone. It was just that I fell in love with the song "Continuous Streaming" and wanted the entertainment club to have good communication with Shu Friends and sign a contract as soon as possible.

As the first artist of the Kobe Entertainment Club, and with her current fame and status, there is no need to worry about any objections from the Entertainment Club.

 Others, that is, how to inadvertently remind Taoka Fumiko from the side

If you want to eat Kobe beef, of course you have to use Teppanyaki to best reflect the original flavor of the beef!

After Naoki Nagayama found a high-end hotel with pets, he and Otomo Yoshimura came to the Sannomiya main store of Teppanyaki Mouriya.

 In front of the long iron kitchen counter, there are seats like a bar, and inside the kitchen counter is a chef.

 When ordering, a whole piece of raw steak is placed in front of you. On the pink beef, delicate fat patterns are closely arranged on the cut surface, dyeing the originally red beef pink like snowflake patterns.

 After ordering other side dishes, a professional chef will cut the ingredients in front of you and use the heat of the iron plate to quickly cook.

 The tender beef cubes sizzled on the iron plate, and the aroma of grease and the meaty aroma of Wagyu came towards the customers, instantly causing feedback in the mouth.

“Naoki-san, Kobe's wagyu beef is outstanding!” Yoshimura Otomo said while drinking a small drink and eating side dishes.

“Yeah. I heard it melts in your mouth”

At this time, the sizzling beef cubes were ready, with just the right amount of meat cubes. The sauce condensed on the surface, slightly charred, and exuded a strange aroma.

Nagayama Naoki took the steaming beef cubes and stuffed it into his mouth. He gently pressed the tender beef with his teeth. A stream of fresh and sweet gravy seemed to spurt out, mixing with the slightly salty sauce to make people feel... Mouth full of saliva.

 After chewing it for a few times, you can see that although the delicate meat quality is not as melt-in-your-mouth, it is not far behind. The rich fat and beef are minced together, which is the meaty aroma that makes every meat eater want to stop.

 The few beef cubes quickly disappeared as Nagayama Naoki's mouth kept closing, followed by side dishes such as mushrooms, carob beans, shrimp crackers, etc.

 The chef saw that the guest was so hungry, so he quickly speeded up the cooking. The next sizzling steak was cut into three large pieces, and the bright red meat could still be seen in the middle.

  Naoki Nagayama can enjoy delicious Wagyu beef again!

 Naoki Nagayama chatted with Yoshimura Otomo while eating:

“Otomo-san, do you want to go to the Kobe Performing Arts Club tomorrow?”

"There's nothing interesting there. It's just a small room, a few desks and phones, and at most some printers." Otomo Yoshimura shook his head, "The best thing about Kobe Entertainment Club is inviting other artists. At that time, other firms did not dare to refuse, and record companies and distributors did not dare not to pay.”

“So of course you don't have to worry about the decoration of the headquarters, it's enough to have an office~”

 “Haha, that's right.” Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

Those offices with luxuriously decorated headquarters spend money on appearance to show their strength. Where is the Kobe Entertainment Club, which can have enough confidence simply by relying on the Yamaguchi-gumi's reputation.

“Then we go back to the hotel directly later? We go back to Tokyo directly tomorrow?”

"Well, the future contracts and other matters can be settled through emails." Yoshimura Otomo didn't care. The singer's share of the shares was all agreed upon. If there are any adjustments that need to be made, they can be explained in the email.

“It's a pity, I originally wanted to visit a club in Kobe ~ I heard it's very famous”

 “Club?”

Fangcun Otomo's eyes widened. The happiest time for a middle-aged man under the control of a tigress at home is to go to these places where he can relax!

What's more, the tigress is hundreds of thousands of miles away!

“Ahem, Zhi Shusang, I think it's actually not too late and I won't be able to sleep if I go back too early.”

Tagaoka Residence.

As the last meeting leader left with his younger brother, only the fourth generation Takenaka Masahisa, who was about to become famous, and his closest brothers were left in this luxurious villa. It was dinner time, and the servants had already prepared delicious dishes for the core Yamaguchi-gumi members to enjoy.

 It turns out that Fumiko Tagoka entertained the members of the Yamaguchi-gumi like this in the early days of the Yamaguchi-gumi, so having dinner at the Tagoka residence is no longer strange for the team members.

Naturally, Takenaka Masahisa did not eat with his younger brothers, but ate with Fumiko Taoka in another room. During this time, they would eat together and discuss various matters regarding the naming ceremony at the dinner table.

But something is different today, because Hibari Misora ​​is also having dinner together.

As the loyal younger brother of the previous generation Taoka Kazuo, Takenaka Masahisa naturally knew Misora ​​Hibari, and also knew that she was the pillar of the Kobe Performing Arts Club, the most profitable artist, and an important purse of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

Hibari Misora ​​is not too familiar with Masahisa Takenaka, who is about to take over as the fourth generation, but after all, he is the next leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, so Hibari Misora ​​still maintains a respectful attitude.

Taoka Fumiko enlivened the atmosphere at the dinner table: "Kazuedchan stopped by to see me today, which relaxed the tense nerves a lot~"

“Sister Fumiko, it will be much easier once the naming ceremony of Team Leader Takenaka is completed.” Hibari Misora ​​consoled her.

“It can't be that easy. The leaders of the Yamaguchi group all have their own thoughts, and the direct team leader who has finally been persuaded is still making trouble.” Fumiko Taoka is a woman after all, and she wants to talk to her if she has troubles in her heart.

 It just so happens that Takenaka Masahisa and Misora ​​Hibari here are not considered outsiders.

"Didn't the cup event already happen? Why are we still making trouble? Is it someone from the former acting team leader Yamamoto Hiro?" Hibari Misora ​​looked like he didn't know.

"It's about a nightclub." Fumiko Taoka sighed, "The team leaders actually quarreled over the profits of a nightclub."

"Is it the Nagayama group's KTV?" Misora ​​Hibari said, "Didn't I hear before that Group Leader Takenaka has ordered not to let people from other groups do it?"

 “Ah, that's it.”

Taoka Fumiko put down her chopsticks and drank a glass of wine.

“Those team leaders, how dare you disobey the Yondaime's order?” Misora ​​Hibari glanced at Takenaka Masahisa, who had been eating silently, and started to speak as if he was provoking something.

"Just making noises and complaining, no team leader dares to disobey the Yondaime's order." Fumiko Taoka shook her head, "But the pressure is a bit high. They want the Yondaime to cancel the previous order."

“Do they think the Yondaime is a capricious person?!” Misora ​​Hibari said with some surprise, and then seemed to realize his mistake, and quickly apologized to Taoka Fumiko and Takenaka Masahisa, “Private Marseille.”

Taoka Fumiko knew that Misora ​​Hibari had a straightforward personality, so she didn't care:

"Of course not! It's just that the current situation is a bit unsubtle. Yamamoto Hiroshi is eyeing the fourth generation and has to consider the emotions of the team leaders."

Takenaka Masahisa's face is a little ugly. As a member of a martial arts sect, the thing he looks down on the most is a capricious villain like Yamamoto Hiro.

"I see."

Hibari Misora ​​nodded and did not continue to ask. If he inquired further, it might arouse the suspicion of the two of them.

The first psychological hint has been planted. If she wants to influence Masahisa Takenaka's thoughts more, she must adopt a more clever form. Fortunately, she has already thought of many methods before coming to Tian Gang Residence, for the performance Learning "Psychology" through watching movies has played an unexpected role!

She changed the topic and started talking about "Continuous Stream". She talked about how excellent this song is and how influential it will be in the future. Kobe Entertainment Club needs to sign a contract as soon as possible, and she will also use this song as the title song of the next album.

Then there were new things in the entertainment industry, anecdotes and so on. I chatted with Fumiko Taoka while eating, and I was very happy.

Takenaka Masahisa is a rude person, and it is difficult to get involved in the conversation between the two women, so he can only eat in silence. I always feel that this meal is not very enjoyable.

 When dinner was over and after drinking the refreshing hot tea, Hibari Misora ​​wisely prepared to leave. After all, Fumiko Taoka and Masahisa Takenaka still had serious things to talk about!

 “Sister Wenzi, I'll take my leave now~”

“Wazuedchan, it's rare to come here once and you're leaving so soon?” Taoka Fumiko tried to persuade her, “It's okay to stay here for one night!”

 “Don't be too intrusive”

Hibari Misora ​​declined, and then bowed to Masahisa Takenaka to say goodbye, but this time she was more solemn:

“Team leader Takenaka,

I heard that when a wolf king faces a challenge from a wolf pack member, he must never retreat. He can only show himself to be stronger than them, and only then can he secure his position as the wolf king.

 You are also facing the challenges of the Yamaguchi-gumi members now. It is time to strengthen your faith and move forward!

Wish you good luck in martial arts! "

 “Thank you!”

Hearing such ancient-style advice, Takenaka Masahisa sat up straight and solemnly returned the greeting, expressing his gratitude to Misora ​​Hibari for his advice.

　　When Misora ​​Hibari left, Takenaka Masahisa was still thinking about the profound words. To be the wolf king, can you only show yourself to be stronger than the pack of wolves? !

 The law of the jungle is indeed true!

Although he was also shocked by Misora ​​Hibari's advice, Taoka Fumiko still smiled and explained to Takenaka Masahisa:

“Wzuedchan has appeared in many TV dramas, and she is a little obsessed with the admonishment conversations between monarchs and ministers in the past, so she said something like this.

But it was actually Kazue-chan expressing her support for Team Leader Takenaka, and asked Team Leader Takenaka not to pay attention. "

She thought Hibari Misora ​​was talking about former acting team leader Hiroshi Yamamoto's disobedience to the fourth generation, like a member of a wolf pack challenging the wolf king. That's why he encouraged the Yondaime to strengthen his faith and move forward courageously.

 "Silly Tape" Takenaka Masako was silently appreciating the conversation just now, and he actually felt like he was back in the feudal period when monarchs and ministers met each other, "Actually, I quite like that kind of advice, it's full of wisdom."

 In fact, he may prefer the feeling of being a king. After all, the ultimate dream of every Yakuza is to be the best among ten thousand people.

“Sister Fumiko, as for the team leaders who came to negotiate today, I think a few of them have already shown the intention to come to our side.” Masahisa Takenaka said, “I'll give you some more sweet words.”

“The organization's money is a little tight, but Team Leader Takenaka can promise them a commission from certain industries in the future.” Fumiko Tagoka said, “There are still some idle properties.”

“Well, please make a list for me, sister.” Masahisa Takenaka nodded.

"Tomorrow, there are still some people who need to meet, but then we will have to meet with the leaders of the Inagawa Kai, Sumiyoshi Kai, Aizu Kotetsu Kai, Ohno family and other organizations." Fumiko Taoka calculated, "Wait until the beginning of July to name the names. The ceremony is about to be officially held, and witnesses are indispensable!"

"Um"

　　Listening to Fumiko Taoka's description, Takenaka Masahisa seemed to be sitting in the center of everyone's gaze, wearing a frame that said "Fourth Generation Eyes" - the symbol of the Yamaguchi-gumi's highest power.

My heart was full of pride and ambition, but I heard Taoka Fumiko say:

“Leader Takenaka, do you want to talk to Hayato Nagayama about those direct team leaders' request to loosen the restrictions on KTV? Maybe we can make some concessions?”

 Concession?

For a moment, words such as "capricious", "cannot retreat" and "press forward" flashed through Takenaka Masahisa's mind, and then a fierce look appeared on his face:

 “Sister Wenzi!

In the life of the extreme, I have long understood that as long as you show a hint of cowardice, your enemies will pounce on you even more ferociously!

Faced with a group of evil wolves, be more ferocious than them! !

If I compromise with the immediate team leaders this time and take back the order.

Not only would Nagayama Hayato think that I was capricious and unkept my promise, causing the originally neutral team leader to turn to Yamamoto Hiro, but those direct team leaders who had achieved their goals would also think that I was just a leader who could compromise, and they would demand Get more! "

"so!!"

“This order will never be taken back!”

“Other members of the Yamaguchi-gumi must not touch the KTV!”

Taoka Fumiko understood what Masahisa Takenaka said and seemed to want to say something. However, looking at Masahisa Takenaka's firm expression, she finally nodded:

 “Hi! I understand! I will restrain the Sandaime.”
