Chapter 142 Sincerity?
Momochi Momo couldn't tell if the information was true or false, but she didn't need to.
"Mr. Nakajima, it is none of my business whether you or Kuroda is stronger."
She remained unwilling to get involved in the dispute.
"I'm sorry to say this, but I did do some things this afternoon."
"My artist didn't actually perform, so I made a temporary arrangement. Strictly speaking, the contract you have doesn't have much of a deterrent effect at the moment."
"I know."
Nakajima Hiroshi leaned back in his office chair: "You see, since I walked in the door, I have never threatened you with the contract."
He smiled. "This can't possibly be out of kindness."
"Then why should I help you and get myself into this trouble?"
"Because you've already had a conflict with Kuroda."
"The artist who agreed suddenly withdrew, forcing him to seek outside help. This conflict is much bigger than our original one."
"You can investigate. My conflict with Kuroda initially stemmed from him wanting to work with Asuka, and I refused to give it to him."
"In your opinion, which is more serious, this or your act of betrayal?"
Momochi Momo frowned.
"I can pin everything on you, saying you took our contracts and tricked the artists, temporarily reassigning them..."
"ha."
Nakajima Hiroshi chuckled.
"Let's assume you're very efficient and that you got all the artists to agree on a story in just one afternoon."
"But... how loyal are they?"
"Kuroda throws a few bundles of money at you, and you know better than I do how many people will keep the secret and not reveal the truth."
"Transferring artists away is tantamount to betraying your cause at the last minute. You might be able to keep this a secret for a while through your own arrangements, but you can't hide it forever."
"And Kuroda Karihito's anger will only intensify after he realizes he has been fooled."
Momochi opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If Kuroda investigates this matter thoroughly, she won't be so naive as to think she can remain uninvolved.
"Let's get back to the main topic."
Hiroshi Nakajima continued, "After that insignificant friction, Kuroda's next move was to book the entire Asuka Karen Mok performance, spending a fortune to ruin her debut."
"Although she ultimately failed, Asuka still managed to debut successfully based on her talent, which gives a glimpse into just how extreme she can be."
Asuka, huddled in the practice room, tensed up and pricked up her ears when she heard her name mentioned.
So, what Nakajima Hiroshi has been busy with lately is organizing a team to help him vent his anger?
that……
In that case, it seems...
Inside the office.
Nakajima Hiro stared at Momochi, noticing her thoughtful expression, and spoke with greater emphasis.
"I imagine that once your actions are exposed, the retaliation you face will be far more severe than this."
Kuroda Karito is indeed a troublesome opponent.
Nakajima Hiroshi reviewed the attacks he had suffered. His opponent always launched saturation attacks, and he was afraid that he hadn't even been able to withstand all of the opponent's moves.
However, this extreme habit is also Kuroda's fatal weakness. Regardless of whether he is prepared to launch an attack, people will assume that offending him will get you into big trouble.
While one naturally yields to the weak, one will likely consider how to defend and counterattack against someone like Momochi Momo who comes with her own team.
Given Kuroda's personality, if Momochi Momoka resists even once, he will use his actions to push her to the opposite side and make her Nakajima Hiro's teammate.
therefore.
There's no need to threaten Momochi with anything; just explain the situation to her clearly.
You can even offer a small favor.
"Kuroda can't protect his subordinates, and he's too narrow-minded; he won't let his enemies go."
He summarized the reasons he had prepared for Momochi, and then continued.
"But I'm different."
Nakajima Hiroshi patted the documents and spouted nonsense without batting an eye.
"I value each and every one of my subordinates, and I will never let any enemy who dares to harm them get away with it."
That's pure nonsense.
He currently only cares about Asuka, Yukino, and Shiraishi Yu; he can't even find a fourth familiar name among his other subordinates.
They're all mediocre, a waste of talent.
"Moreover, I can forgive some past grievances, such as our issues. As long as you turn away from darkness and embrace the light, I can let bygones be bygones."
Momochi sighed; it seemed she had indeed made the wrong choice.
Of course, she was referring to yet another betrayal of Kuroda.
Those people are clearly more difficult to deal with; the guns should be pointed at the good guys.
Nakajima Hiroshi paused for a moment before stating the core condition.
"Most importantly, if you cooperate with me, I can play along and pretend to be the one making the move against you."
"In this way, as long as you don't do too badly, Kuroda can think that you're just incompetent and avoid a quick falling out."
"You'd be that kind?"
Momochi found it hard to believe.
"This demonstrates our sincerity in seeking cooperation."
Nakajima Hiroshi opened his arms: "I am no weaker than Kuroda. In terms of resources, team, and combat experience, I am just as good."
"But the difference is that I will rally all the forces I can, gradually turning the balance of power into an advantage, then crushing the opponent and completely securing victory!"
Momochi remained silent for a long time, weighing the options repeatedly and considering whether there was still any chance of success in each step.
However, Hiroshi Nakajima's logic is impeccable.
Every step was correct, and each time she pondered, it only made her more convinced of the other party's suggestion.
"You always have to leave some leverage over us, don't you?"
She looked at the documents on the table and finally gave in.
This is already a compromise, because it's better to start it yourself than to let Nakajima Hiroshi say such things.
"That's your chance to show your sincerity. I trust Ms. Momochi's wisdom."
"After all, we were partners from the very beginning."
He patted Momochi on the shoulder.
"Welcome back, Ms. Momochi."
Momochi Momo didn't respond, but silently nodded, gathering the celebrity photos on the table one by one, aligning the corners, and then putting them into her briefcase.
"Sizzle—!"
Pull the zipper up hard, and the sound of the metal teeth snapping together is exceptionally clear.
That is the answer.
Take action.
Actions speak louder than words.
Nakajima Hiro ignored him and simply walked out of the house, leaving the space to Momochi Momo and Shiraishi Yu.
Speaking of which, Shiraishi Yu hasn't shown her pheromones in a long time.
Is this guy going into overdrive again...?
That's right, negotiations are a big deal after all, so it's normal that she takes them very seriously.
But pheromones are clearly not a viable solution for improving concentration on a daily basis...
Nakajima Hiroshi recalled the side effects he had personally experienced, and Shiraishi Yu's experience would only be worse.
I need to find an opportunity to talk to her...
Asuka's concerns were justified; Shiraishi Yu really did hold a very high position with Nakajima Hiroshi.
This woman is very useful.
This woman is helping me.
This woman also paid a considerable price for this.
Unfortunately, Hiroshi Nakajima knew everything.
He couldn't quite explain how he felt about Shiraishi Yu now, but he always felt a sense of indebtedness.
Hiroshi Nakajima really wanted to make it up to the other party, or do something to help.
Just like when I went to Shiraishi Yu's house last time, I tried to give her a position that matched her efforts, so that I could gain some peace of mind.
You know, this feeling is often the beginning of cherishing.
However, even Hiroshi Nakajima himself did not realize it.
And Asuka...
Perhaps, the child also guessed the wrong thing.
