Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The time came on the morning of January 4, 2012, in front of the Sony Music Entertainment building in Nogizaka Station, Tokyo.
As the temporary member of the operation team of the new idol group and the candidate personally recommended by Mr. Yasushi Akimoto, his identity will naturally not be the same as that of an ordinary employee who has just entered the door. As soon as he entered Baiyun Mountain, he saw the person who contacted him... well ...that is, the staff who called me a few days ago to send a notice - Chuan Jingai, was waiting with a sign with his name on it, scanning the flow of people, and soon noticed the person walking over. Baiyun Mountain.
"Hello Baiyunsang, I am Chuan Jingai, please give me your advice."
"Uh...please take care of me, but I'm sorry, my last name is Bai, not Baiyun."
"Bai? Baiyun...Does Bai Sang's accent sound Chinese?" Chuan Jingai, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, looked at him in surprise, with a smile on his face and praised: "There are many people in the company I joined. Years later, this is the first time I have seen someone as young as Bai Sang!" Speaking of this, Chuan Jingai did not hide the envy in his eyes. After all, it took him several years to become the leader of the life group. Position, and Baiyunshan, who is much younger than him, became a temporary member when he came in. This gap is not small.
Especially when I heard that it was Mr. Yasushi Akimoto who proposed and approved it personally, this feeling of lemon is even stronger.
But it's just a lemon, it's a lemon, Chuan Jingai can only be envious and has no other thoughts.
"Bai Sang, please come with me." After greeting, Chuan Jingai took Bai Yunshan into the staff-only elevator, and the two went upstairs while chatting.
On the sixth floor of the building, stepping out of the elevator, Chuan Jingai introduced to Baiyunshan the specific distribution of this floor, where was the lounge, where was the office, and where was the conference room.
They walked like this for almost half an hour, and after getting familiar with the basic locations of various places, the two finally returned to the lounge.
"Since Bai Sang also serves as the agent of the firm and is quite busy at the beginning of the new year, it may take a while before all the certificates are issued. Let's go next..." Chuan Jingai was still chattering. While Di and Baiyunshan were introducing the relevant situation, the phone on their body suddenly rang.
Making an apologetic gesture, Chuan Jingai quickly answered the phone, then nodded and replied.
"Ok, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Chuan Jingai had a strange look on his face. He looked at Baiyunshan and said, "Bai Sang, Mr. Konno is waiting for you in the office now. Let's go over there right away."
Naturally, Baiyun Mountain would not have any objections.
It didn't take long to reach the destination of this trip.
Chuan Jingai knocked gently on the office door. After hearing the invitation to come in, he slowly opened the door handle and brought Bai Yunshan in.
What came into view was an unattractive middle-aged man sitting on an office chair. His expression was already full of old age, but his eyes were bright. He looked at Baiyunshan who was following behind and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is young. You are promising, Bai Sang seems to be Chinese? This is really rare!"
Bai Yunshan complained in his heart that someone finally knew that his surname was Bai, but his face remained calm. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "No, no, I'm ashamed. I just did a small job——"
Yoshio Konno looked warm, waved his hands and said with a smile: "How can it be a small job? I learned about you from Teacher Akimoto. Being able to accurately predict such a big event one year in advance and propose relevant measures shows that you are indeed a person." Talent, Teacher Akimoto appreciates you and I agree with you——"
Having said this, Yoshio Konno paused and suddenly changed the subject: "It's just that we don't know very well what your abilities are, Bai-san, so although we appreciate it, we are also worried that other people in the operation team or the office will not be the same." I think so, I would like to ask you what you think about the current direction and route of Nogizaka46?”
Baiyunshan raised his eyebrows slightly and was speechless for a moment.
An old fox is an old fox. The meaning of Yoshio Konno’s words is very clear. The current situation of Baiyun Mountain can be described as a lack of moral integrity. At least without outstanding results and sufficient resume, even if he is recommended by Akimoto Yasu Even in this position, it was shaky. Because the extras - ah no, they are temporary members and also members. The operation committee member is not a simple position. He has absolute control over this new idol group. It is impossible to let a young boy with a low reputation take the position. If he holds the position, it is impossible for all the members of the operation committee to hold the position. Convince the public.
Even Yoshio Konno, who was also recommended by Akimoto Yasu at the time, thought so.
So he called Baiyunshan over this time, ostensibly to ask for his opinion on the direction of Nogizaka46. In fact, he didn’t intend to listen at all, or he didn’t even think that a young person who didn’t understand the industry at all could have any profound insights. , I just said this to let Baiyunshan understand that he couldn't sit in this position, so he had to take the initiative to resign himself and get a more appropriate position.
Since the meaning is very simple, there is nothing unclear about Baiyun Mountain.
Baiyunshan is also very clear about the current situation. Being able to sit in this position is entirely due to Akimoto Yasushi's efforts, but it is too difficult to gain a firm foothold. Even Yoshio Konno, who should be on the same front, can say this He expressed his opinion clearly. It can be said that the best response for Baiyun Mountain now is to agree, and then bargain a bit, and he should be able to get a good position. After all, the two of them are still in the same camp, and Konno Yoshio doesn't want it either. Such an obvious slap in Akimoto Yasu's face.
It's just... this is really unpleasant!
It's you who want me to be a temporary committee member, and it's you who want me to get out immediately. What do you mean? Are you treating me as a monkey in Baiyun Mountain?
Baiyunshan's original smile was a little stiff, but he also understood that the dissatisfaction would end in dissatisfaction. This was indeed the most reasonable for both parties at the moment. He, a fledgling boy, could not find a reason to fight against Konno Yoshio, so he still planned to agree first. , after all, the system task is to join Nogizaka46, and there is no prescribed position.
Compared with this tone, life is more important!
After comforting himself in this way, he asked a question: "Mr. Konno, I want to know what will happen after I leave the position of temporary committee member? Will I serve as a member of other groups, or..."
Yoshio Konno smiled warmly and said calmly: "Other groups, such as Kawakage Ai's life group, are fully staffed, so Bai Sang should be directly transferred to work under Teacher Akimoto. I will discuss this with Teacher Akimoto. Okay, I guarantee that you will get good benefits in terms of position and salary, so Bai Sang doesn’t have to worry.”
Baiyunshan suddenly frowned.
In Yoshio Konno's view, his move was the best of both worlds. It not only gave Yasushi Akimoto an explanation, but also did not make the frizzy young man in front of him feel uncomfortable. After all, there is a gap between the status of a temporary member of a newly established idol group and the status of working directly under the big sign of Akimoto Yasushi, whether it is salary or other things. It is too late for the young people in front of him to be happy.
But - this is common sense!
Baiyunshan is a person who cannot be treated with common sense, especially since he has a system, which is even more difficult to treat with common sense.
The task stipulated by the system is to join Nogizaka46, but now Yoshio Konno wants to transfer him away from here, which is tantamount to directly killing him!
In the eyes of Konno Yoshio, he killed two birds with one stone and even gave the young man in front of him a lot of preferential treatment. However, in the heart of the young man in front of him, the words he just said out loud were already cursed in his heart. This is equivalent to beating League of Legends. The two agreed to play solo in the middle, but the other one had already sneaked into the high ground and demolished the house!
It is unbearable!
It's not for money, it's not for fame, it's just for my life, I can't agree to this!
【Ding! Side mission, deal with Yoshio Konno's problem, and keep his position as a temporary committee member! Reward: 500 influence points. 】
Listening to the prompt for the side mission that sounded for the first time in his mind, Baiyunshan's brows gradually relaxed, as if the discomfort he just felt had not appeared. There was some confusion on his face, and he asked sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Konno. , I didn’t hear it clearly, may I ask what you said in the previous sentence?”
Yoshio Konno did not realize the changes in the young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "There will be good benefits in terms of position and salary——"
"More ahead!"
"Baisang should be directly transferred to work under Teacher Akimoto——"
"More ahead!"
Yoshio Konno was a little surprised by the young man's suddenly aggressive momentum, but he continued following the words: "What do you think of the current direction and route of Nogizaka46?"
"I happen to have some immature opinions here!"
