10 p.m. in the building’s underground parking lot.
Chi Feichi walked to the red Lexus he had just received, but did not open the door. "Ms. Okino Yoko, what do you want from me?"
"Didn't I tell you when we were in the restaurant before?" Okino Yoko wore a short blue dress, tied her curly hair behind her head, and smiled, "I want to ask you to take me home!"
"It's not that you don't know that I drank." Chi Feichi said.
When Okino Yoko took the new guy from the company to greet him, she saw him drinking. Since it was not the first day that Okino Yoko met him, she should have known that he would not bring a driver, and she even offered to let him take her back. That definitely wasn't really what he was asked to give away.
Moreover, Okino Yoko has his own company car to ride in, so there is no need for him to deliver it. It would be a trouble for him to deliver it.
If a reporter from a gossip newspaper who was investigated into Okino Yoko's home squats and sees it, the relevant gossip news will be reported in the newspaper early tomorrow morning. Before noon tomorrow, fans will block the area near Okino Yoko's company and residence.
"Yeah, that's right," Okino Yoko also found that her excuse was not very good. She looked up to see Chi Feichi's expression, but found that the light was too dark and she couldn't see clearly. She looked at the person opposite who was taller than her. There were so few people, and the pressure was great, "Mr. Chi, the light here is dim. It's really scary how you look like this... No, it's not scary, it just makes me feel scared."
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Acting cute doesn't work, and don't secretly poke and criticize him for being scary.
He's not a ghost, so how could he be scary?
Okino Yoko lowered her head and struggled for a while. Seeing that Chi Feichi was still waiting for her to speak and was obviously not that impatient, she struggled for a while and said, "I'll get my hat and glasses. Let's go out and find a quiet place to sit for a while. How about it?" "
Chi Feichi thought about the nearby hotels and took out his mobile phone, "Ilya Hotel? I'll call to book a room."
Okino Yoko was not a novice on his first day as an artist, so he would not not understand the hints and routines, and there was no possibility of teasing him. It should be true, but he did not understand why.
"Ah, okay...I'll get the hat then."
Sure enough, Okino Yoko did not refuse, turned around and ran to her car, opened the door and got her hat.
Chi Feichi called to reserve a room and asked the hotel to arrange a driver to drive over.
Okino Yoko covered her face tightly with a hat, glasses, and scarf. She was carrying a big bag and a rustic loose coat. She got into the car with Chi Feichi like an ordinary unkempt woman.
The car didn't drive for long, turned two streets, and entered the underground parking lot.
After the driver handed the room card to Chi Feichi, he led the two of them to the elevator at the back of the parking lot.
After arriving at the hotel room, Okino Yoko changed her shoes, then took off her scarf, glasses, and hat. She looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the Toyoto Tower and the street view, which looked exactly like the restaurant. She looked around and asked with reddening ears, "Chi Sir, why did you book two rooms?”
Chi Feichi took Fei Chi out and took him to one of the rooms, turned on the light, put Fei Chi on the bed, turned around and went out, closed the door, and locked the door from the outside.
Tell Okino Yoko the answer with one coherent action.
Feichi: "..."
The quilt was so cold, it seemed like it had been abandoned.
The owner actually locked the door from the outside, and it couldn't even sneak in in the middle of the night... Bah, no, it's not that kind of snake!
In the living room, Okino Yoko looked at the whole process and sweated, "Do you always take Feichi with you? Do you take it with you when you go out?"
"I usually bring it with me." Chi Feichi turned back to the sofa, "Do you want something to eat?"
"Thank you, but I have to control my diet. I don't need to eat. You can drink whatever you want. You can decide." Yoko Okino paused, "I'm going to... take a shower and change clothes."
Chi Feichi made an internal call to have drinks delivered upstairs, went to the living room and bathroom to take a shower, looked around the living room and the remaining rooms, and looked at all the buildings opposite the window.
In the bathroom, Yoko Okino heard the sound of Chi Fei entering the room late. She reluctantly left the tub of warm water, dried her hair, put on her bathrobe, stared at herself in the mirror anxiously for a while, and took a deep breath. Open the door and go out.
Chi Feichi sat on the platform in front of the window, poured the dark red wine in the decanter into two goblets, and said without raising his head, "Come and sit."
Okino Yoko stepped forward, "That..."
When Chi Feichi looked up, he saw Okino Yoko with her hair disheveled and wearing a bathrobe hiding behind the curtains and looking outside.
Since she had just taken a shower, Okino Yoko's face was flushed with makeup, and the skin of the half-leg exposed in the bathrobe also had a soft pink color.
Okino Yoko noticed the gaze next to her and turned to meet Chi Feichi's gaze. Looking at those purple and more aggressive eyes, it was like a terrifying abyss intending to swallow her up, suffocating her heartbeat and breathing at the same time. After a moment, fortunately, those eyes quickly returned to their usual calmness, as if it was just her illusion.
"It's okay, come here." Chi Feichi retracted his gaze, "I just looked and there is no building nearby where you can see this window."
When he was watching it just now, some characteristics unique to the second dimension made him feel like he was reading an enlarged version of a comic for a moment, as if he was watching it all through a world barrier, which made him almost jump out of the scene.
"Okay..." Okino Yoko breathed a sigh of relief, silently soothed her pounding heart, took off her slippers, walked to the platform and sat next to Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi handed a glass of red wine to Okino Yoko, smelled the faint aroma of shampoo next to him, and finally regained the awareness that 'the person in front of him is not a paper person'.
"Thank you." Okino Yoko caught the cup and noticed that Chi Feichi's eyes fell on her again. This time, she did not dare to raise her head and looked sideways out of the window.
"I don't understand what you are thinking." Chi Feichi tried to make his words clearer.
With Okino Yoko's fame and status, there is no need to do such a thing for resources, and Okino Yoko is not a casual person.
Okino Yoko is the ace of his competitors, and he also has a special understanding of it, not only his external image, but also his reputation in the circle.
Since her debut, there have been rumors about Okino Yoko, but they are all rumors. Once she becomes famous, if she interacts with a certain male artist on the show, some people will speculate whether she is in a relationship. As far as he knows, Okino Yoko has nothing but rumors. I have an ex-boyfriend who broke up with him and committed suicide. He has never had an affair with any man.
This is a smart and far-sighted woman who can resolve many troubles by herself and obtain many resources by herself.
When the "Earth Lady Team" group was on the decline, Okino Yoko and Hoshino Terumi discussed it, disbanding the group, developing their own careers, pretending that the relationship was not in line with the hype, and also arranged several interviews.
With such speculation, the attention of the outside world has shifted from the group to the individual, and the impression of the 'cute girl group' has also become 'Yoko is so cute', 'Teru is beautiful and cool', 'Xiaoyuki is the most mature and sensible', 'Xiao Xun is so innocent' , 'It's a pity to be disbanded'...
Is it a pity that it was disbanded? It's not a pity at all. If that group continues, the outside world's impression of them will always remain at the level of 'cute girl group' and will not explore the differences between the four of them. Sooner or later, the popularity of their group will completely pass. At that time, it would be difficult to use the hype to become popular.
Later, Okino Yoko took advantage of the popularity to appear on the show. When faced with the attacks from black fans at that time, she handled it very well and had a serious and sincere attitude, which attracted a large number of fans.
Appearing on programs, hosting programs, filming commercials, filming TV series, filming movies...
Okino Yoko has achieved success step by step, and her own brain plays a big role. It is far more helpful than other skills, and it does not help her as much as her brain.
Even Okino Yoko's company only began to invest more resources in her step by step after discovering her potential.
In other words, female celebrities who have been popular for such a long time are never fools.
In addition to singing and dancing, it also depends on how you treat people, how big your horizons are, how far you can see, your ability to withstand stress, and your ability to cope with crises.
When such a person suddenly found him, it was definitely not what he was looking for. The reason why he was not vigilant or refused was just because he knew that Okino Yoko would not harm others and was measured.
Apart from the risk that he might be hacked to death by his own teacher, it shouldn't cause him any big trouble.
Furthermore, even if Okino Yoko doesn't meet anything he likes, he is very comfortable to get along with, she is considered clean, and will not cause him to have mysophobia. She is beautiful, has a good figure, and is famous enough...
Everyone has thought about it, and as long as it's not too difficult, he has no reason to refuse.
"What do you think Mr. Chi?" Okino Yoko turned to look at Chi Feichi with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "I want to hear what Mr. Chi thinks of me."
"Miss Yoko is a smart and far-sighted person. What she wants is certainly not what is in front of her, nor is it simple resources. However, Miss Yoko will not plan anything harmful." Chi Fei did not avoid Okino Yoko's gaze, "So , I can’t guess what Miss Yoko wants.”
Okino Yoko stared at Chi Feichi for a while, then suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes, "Mr. Chi..."
"What's wrong?" Chi Feichi didn't understand why Okino Yoko suddenly smiled like a flower, but he asked directly if he didn't understand.
"Very few people will praise me for being smart and far-sighted. In fact, I prefer such compliments, but sometimes I am afraid that someone will say that I am smart. Then someone will definitely say that I am scheming. As an artist, I have to bear a lot," Okino Yoko seemed to be in a good mood. Although the smile on her face faded a little, she still had a smile in her eyes. She said frankly, "Let me tell you straight. I want Mr. Chi to invest in acquiring our company. Recently, we The company has financial problems, so now is the perfect opportunity."
Chi Feichi didn't rush to answer, and thought for a moment, "Is there any possibility of acquiring it at a lower price?"
"I don't know much about this, but..." Yoko Okino glanced at Chi Feichi's face secretly, and found that he couldn't see any attitude. He felt a little unsure, "It shouldn't be possible to lower the price, or in other words, it would be good without a premium. But now the acquisition is not a loss, our company has great development prospects."
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine.
What Okino Yoko was thinking was a bit beyond his expectation, but it was not incomprehensible.
The two companies currently seem to have a good relationship, but sooner or later they will have to compete for resources again. Even if it is not for resources, their original plan is to eat away at the other company step by step, push down the value of the other company, and wait for the right opportunity before making an acquisition. , or...annexation.
In this process, Okino Yoko will definitely be sent to the battlefield by the opponent, and thk has strong capital behind them. The chance of losing is too small, and they have the ability to make a comeback even if they lose.
Quite bullying.
But even more pitiful than his competitors are people like Okino Yoko who are thrown out to charge into battle.
Faced with this situation, the person in charge of the company will want to fight, show their strength, and increase the company's value. If they get caught in a tug of war, thk will probably choose to acquire it directly considering the cost of the tug of war. Then they can make a profit by selling the company. And if you lose, it will be a loss of face at most. You have already recovered your money earned over the years, so you can surrender and negotiate when the opportunity comes.
For people like Okino Yoko, when the other party needs it, they will push her up with all their strength, and they will also attack with all their strength and find ways to knock down this pillar.
Frankly speaking, given the situation of the other party, as long as the pillar of Okino Yoko is blurred, it will basically be over and the acquisition can begin.
Compared with the value of resources owned by a company, the value of Yoko Okino is nothing at all.
As long as there are resources and funds, we can produce 'Yoko Okino' one after another. At that time, except for some hardcore fans, everyone's attention will shift to the newcomers and forget about the artist who was confused in the struggle. After that artist has no resources and has not shown up for a long time, hardcore fans will slowly find new fans. When they mention that artist again, the most they can say is "I like her, and I will support her if she comes back." But the specifics are No one can say how many people will keep their word, how many people will firmly support it, and how many people will maintain their original enthusiasm.
Human nature is what it is.
Moreover, falling from the clouds is very traumatizing. Even if she can come back after a period of silence, will Okino Yoko still be her former self, and will she still have the enthusiasm and courage that attracted people before? Or is he maintaining his persona falsely? On the surface, he is still the same Okino Yoko, but behind the scenes, he collapses night after night, and gradually becomes unable to distinguish himself?
They can afford it, but Okino Yoko can't.
Did Yoko Okino betray her company? No, if he comes forward to acquire now and cannot lower the price, the other party will definitely be willing to consider agreeing. After all, the other party cannot be unaware of their wolf-hearted ambitions that they plan to eat away at step by step. Is it better to be acquired now than to acquire after being cannibalized? ? And everyone's face is pretty good.
