Chapter 468: Such a big frame

Neon people have the habit of being punctual and very particular about "not being late". This is the result of social and self-discipline.

Whether it is for a date or for work, you will never be late, or even arrive early.

"The people from Sony are here. I'll go and receive them first. I'll send you a message later."

At 9:20, Runa Igarashi picked up the phone and took a look at it, then suddenly stood up.

"good."

Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly, sitting at the table using his laptop, still looking up information.

As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.

Only by knowing your own value and understanding your enemy's needs and weaknesses can you fight for favorable conditions for yourself.

He was not only checking the traffic data results of [Zero Hour], but also checking the situation of Sony Music.

Sony is Sony, and Sony Music is Sony Music. Although they are a whole, they must be investigated separately.

Fortune 500 companies are usually divided into multiple departments, responsible for different areas.

As Zero Hour, he has basically ignored it after playing the piano during this period. He has not paid attention to the fans' response, the data of the video, as well as the speed of spread and influence.

To say that he knows nothing is not wrong, because Runa Igarashi often posts some data charts in the partner group.

However, the results are not enough, but the process must be understood.

A large company must make decisions before acting, and it is rare to act impulsively.

Because every cooperation and investment involves a large amount of funds and interests, it is of great importance. At the very least, you must fully understand the matter and analyze the pros and cons before taking action.

…

Igarashi Runa had already tidied up her appearance, she just needed to put on high heels to be perfect.

She walked all the way down from the third floor to the front door. She fiddled with her hair again, looked at her clothes from top to bottom, made sure they were correct, and opened the door.

"I'm very sorry that I couldn't greet you as soon as possible and kept you waiting for a long time."

Igarashi Runa was not surprised when she saw three people outside the door, but expressed her apology.

As she said hello, she also observed the combination of one woman and two men.

The leading woman is in her prime, beautiful, capable and confident.

This woman, whom she had met yesterday, was named Takeda Ema. She was the proposer and agent of this cooperation project.

The man on the right looks to be about 30 years old. He is wearing a crisp suit and has gold-rimmed eyes. His expression is calm and he looks very serious.

Although they were not able to see this man yesterday, they had met him before.

Kazuki Amuro, the legal department of Sony Music, and Rika Fujiwara of Phantasy Star Firm had collaborated with Sony Music once, and he was also here when the contract was drafted.

On the left is a middle-aged man. He is relatively thick, not tall enough, and has some belly. He has obviously gained weight in middle age. There are already traces of age on his face. He is also wearing a suit, but he exudes aura.

After just one meeting, she knew in her heart that this middle-aged man should have the highest status among the three people.

"It doesn't matter, we arrived early... Miss Igarashi, I am Oga Musashi, the vice president of Sony Music Entertainment Co., Ltd., this is our first meeting. Please give me your advice."

Just as she had guessed, the middle-aged man, Oga Musashi shook his head and smiled, then took the initiative to extend his hand and introduce himself.

"I am Igarashi Runa. This is my first time meeting you. Please give me your advice."

After learning his identity, Igarashi Runa was a little surprised and bowed.

Dahe... If she remembered correctly, the last name of the former president of Sony was this.

In Neon, Sony is one of the most famous brands. Although Sony Music is a subsidiary, being able to serve as a subsidiary executive has such a high status that he is among the top big names in the country.

In Neon, the greeting etiquette includes bowing, shaking hands, and performing Namaste.

When men and women meet for the first time, they usually bow to each other and pass business cards to each other, but usually do not shake hands.

Only old friends or relatively familiar people will shake hands.

"Miss Igarashi, it is said that you have a sharp eye and are very accurate in judging people. Every artist you sign has great potential, and you also signed Mr. Zero Hour, which shocked the industry and is known as the strongest agent. When I see you now, I didn’t expect you to be so young and so beautiful, it’s really surprising.”

Oga Musashi saw that she did not shake hands with him, his eyes darkened, but he smiled and praised her, his voice was very gentle, giving people an approachable feeling, and his eyes as he looked at her were a little fiery.

He never expected that the head of Zero Hour Agency, Igarashi Runa, would be so beautiful.

She has an oval face, beautiful eyes like water, beautiful eyebrows like the moon, a small nose, and red lips like fire. She is elegant and dignified. She has shoulder-length short hair and a capable and refreshing temperament. Even if she wears more formal clothes, she can't hide her plumpness. , extremely confusing.

Especially her figure, convex and curvy, sexy and hot, with graceful curves. Under the plaid skirt, wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, her plump and soft legs are extremely eye-catching.

Such appearance conditions are comparable to those of idol artists, or even better.

Because idol artists are generally young and beautiful, but they are too young.

And this Miss Igarashi is very mature, has outstanding abilities, is confident and generous, and has an outstanding temperament. She is just like a young woman, with infinite charm in every move of her hands and feet.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Dahe. The strongest agent is just a fan's word. I am still a newcomer in the industry compared to seniors like you."

Igarashi Runa has been in the workplace for a long time and is very sensitive to eyesight. She noticed that his eyes were looking at her, and she felt disgust and disgust in her heart, but she did not show it on her face and smiled slightly.

"How can it be just one-sided words from fans? This is affirmed by the industry. No one else could invite a piano master like Mr. Zero Hour, but you signed him. This is ability. You are so young, you start a business and become the boss, It’s much better than this old guy like me.”

Oga Musashi really wanted to get closer to her, and he was not shy about praising her.

"How can Mr. Dahe be an old man? He is still very young."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Igarashi Runa could only give in and say nice things.

Sony brought a big contract today, and this guy is a talker. Even if he hates it, he can only accommodate it.

"How can you still be young? I'm already old."

Compliments from beautiful women are very useful to men, especially Ohga Musashi. He was extremely happy to find that she didn't feel old, but he still pretended to be inappropriate.

Seeing his smiling face, Igarashi Runa was a little helpless... She was very clear about her own charm.

She is 28 years old this year. Compared with the 20-year-old Kurosawa, she may be a little older. In the eyes of others, she is suspected of being an old cow eating young grass... But for a middle-aged greasy man of 40-50 years old, around 30 years old , but it’s just right.

When she was working at Huanxing Office, everyone, whether they were colleagues or superiors, had a crush on her, and they would use various excuses to meet her and have physical contact with her all day long.

For example, if you want to shake her hand, if you see her working, you will walk up to her and want to give her some advice, and then you will accidentally reach out and try to touch her shoulder.

However, she has developed very well since she was a child. Her mother also noticed this and strictly warned her to develop a strong sense of caution when she was still young. She never gave her a chance, just like Just like before, be alert in advance.

However, the more she doesn't give her a chance, the more others want her.

Every time she went to work at Huanxing Office, most of her male colleagues stared at her like a pack of wolves looking for a piece of meat, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.

After all, it’s tiring to go to work, and you have to be wary of others and stay vigilant for a long time.

Because of this, when Kurosawa proposed starting a business, she made the decision in a short time.

There were many reasons for her resignation.

She believes in her abilities and is confident of making a comeback.

She doesn't like that kind of working environment and has long been fed up with it.

It's okay for a male boss to deliberately make things difficult for her because he can't take advantage of her. The same goes for a female boss. No matter how good she is, she is still just a subordinate.

Moreover, she has already bought a house and a car, so she has no mortgage or car loan to bear, which completely solves the problem of housing and transportation.

Even if her business failed, she would at most be living in a tight situation... If that didn't work out, she could still nibble on her best friend, work as a nanny for Qianzuru, and so on.

She had long wanted to resign. Kurosawa's proposal, as well as the talents and potential he showed, were just the opportunity to lead her to break out.

"Mr. Dahe, we are still standing at the door. Why not go in first and sit down to chat slowly."

After chatting for a while, Takeda Ema, who came to discuss the project yesterday, looked at the forced smile of Igarashi Runa with some sympathy, and when the time was almost right, he made a suggestion.

Following her suggestion, everyone naturally agreed.

Soon, the three people sent by Sony entered the office one after another.

"Is this Igarashi-san's office?"

Ohga Musashi came to the office and found that the space was a bit small, but the smell in the room was pleasant, so he asked.

"I'm sorry to entertain you in such an informal place. It's just that Zero Hour Office has just been established and hasn't had time to expand yet."

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, very sorry.

Using the office as a conference room was barely enough to receive project leaders from some small and medium-sized companies, but it seemed too small-minded to receive big names from such Fortune 500 companies.

She also had some regrets about this matter.

What she initially thought was that the office had just started, so she could just find a place with a reasonable rent and full functions. She didn't have to pursue the best and could use her money wisely.

Unexpectedly, Kurosawa's influence as Zero was so terrifying.

The debut song became a hit all over the Internet, and he served as the curtain call guest at the second event. He became a god in the first battle. With every event, Zero Hour's fame grew explosively.

In just two months, Ling Shi transformed from an unknown person to a world-famous piano master, attracting such a big shot.

"It doesn't matter. I quite like it here. It's not formal enough but more relaxed."

Oga Musashi waved his hand, not caring at all, very generous.

Seeing what he said, Igarashi Runa stopped being polite and asked them to sit down first.

Although the majong is small, it is well-equipped and functions as a conference room. The layout of the sofa area is very particular.

A large coffee table with three-seat long sofas on both sides can easily distinguish Party A from Party B, but it cannot accommodate multiple representatives at the same time like the reception room of Huanxing Firm.

Guests and hosts followed suit, and Runa Igarashi came to the sofa area and stood there, inviting them to sit down.

"It's a bit crowded."

However, something unexpected happened. Oga Musashi, who had already sat down, stood up with a grunt as his two subordinates sat down, and suddenly walked towards Igarashi Runa.

"He really knows how to be a monster..."

Seeing his actions, Igarashi Runa naturally understood that he wanted to sit on the same sofa with her, and frowned, feeling sullen.

These two sofas are both three-seater models. Unless there are three super fat people, they will definitely be enough to sit on them.

"Miss Igarashi, can I sit here?"

The distance across the coffee table was only a few steps, and Oga Musashi walked closer. He did not sit down directly, but asked with a smile.

She had already been generous once and didn't stick to trivial matters. This time it was her turn.

"Mr. Dahe, this sofa represents Party B, and you are the representative of Party A. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to sit here."

Igarashi Runa, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, had long been accustomed to this kind of trick and smiled.

Being in the entertainment industry, she has seen too many different kinds of people... It is no exaggeration to say that most of the investors in the entertainment industry are lustful people who want to make unwritten rules and operate secretly. Everyone knows.

She is very disgusted with unspoken rules and never compromises, but she still makes a name for herself by relying on her bottom line and hard work.

If I don’t accept unspoken rules, you won’t cooperate with me, but there will always be someone willing to cooperate with me.

"That sofa is too small and a bit cramped."

Seeing that she did not agree, but clearly refused, Oga Musashi pointed to the sofa with his backhand and reiterated his troubles.

His implication seemed to be, "Is this how you receive me?"

"Master Zero Hour will be here soon. If you sit down on this sofa, there will be three of us. It will also be a bit crowded. Please forgive me."

Igarashi Runa knew very well that if you take a step back, the enemy would advance even further. He felt bitter and helpless in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he explained in a gentle voice.

It seems that this time is the same as before, because the appearance of her and Fujiwara Rikka is so superior that Party A has a twisted idea and wants to take advantage of the cooperation.

"Fine."

Seeing that she didn't agree with this, Oga Musashi didn't say anything more, but his face darkened, and he turned around and went back.

In just a few steps, he sat back down in the center of Party A, but his expression was no longer smiling and approachable, but gloomy and serious.

"We came to your company 10 minutes early, and the cooperation is full of sincerity. There were so many people at the gate, so forget it if he didn't come to greet you... It's already 9:30, why hasn't Mr. Zero Hour shown up yet?"

Oga Musashi, who was sitting in the middle seat, raised his arm and looked at his watch before asking.

Because of the small conflict just now, his attitude changed. He was no longer friendly and approachable, but cold and domineering.

He didn't know how to flatter himself. He brought at least 13 billion yen, which is a sky-high price contract from all over the world. But this woman has this attitude?

I'm not even willing to sit on a sofa, and I've refused it twice. What does that mean? Dislike him?

Do you really think he will spoil her if she is a beautiful woman? To him, what is the difference between a woman who can only look at but not touch, and a man?

"Master Zero Hour's identity is relatively sensitive. I need to confirm it before letting him show up. I will contact him immediately. Please forgive me."

"Confirmed? What do you want to confirm? Confirm that we are not suspects, etc.?"

Ohga Musashi's words were sharp and even more aggressive.

"I want to confirm your company's willingness to cooperate before contacting Mr. Zero Hour... You also know that Zero Hour's true identity is too sensitive, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

When Igarashi Runa heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed. What he said was too much.

She met and negotiated with the representatives of Party A, confirmed the good cooperation intention, and then contacted Zero Hour. This was her approach after consideration.

Once cooperation begins, we are in the same boat and will not do things that harm others or benefit ourselves, such as exposing Zero Hour's true face.

"Isn't our willingness to cooperate obvious enough? The vice president came to talk in person and visited the site ten minutes in advance. Mr. Zero Hour's arrogance is really big, even bigger than the president of Sony."

Oga Musashi snorted and didn't listen to her words at all.

"Your current attitude is not obvious."

At this moment, a low and magnetic voice sounded from the door.
