Volume 1: Japanese Storm Chapter 22: Mitsui Aiko's Raid (2)

  "Go on, what happened? Why did you stop talking? I want to see what kind of woman is suitable for Shoji and Koba! Call over President Inada and President Aizawa!" Jerry walked into the room while giving orders to Matsuda Seiko.

  Matsuda Seiko was like she had received a pardon, and she rushed out in a flurry, almost falling over her own feet.

  The poor guy is already twenty-nine years old and yet he's still intimidated by a nine-year-old kid.

  Jerry walked into the room, moved a chair to sit beside the table, his face still gloomy. He stared at Shokura Hirotsugu, who was posing with a photo, and said coldly, "Are you thinking with your brain or your lower body? Shokura Hirotsugu! Letting you be a judge isn't an opportunity for you to make under-the-table deals! You bastard! I'm really disappointed in you! And you, Kobayakawa Toshihiko, don't think you can get away from this! From the sea elections until now, how many contestants have you used your position as a judge to sleep with? How many of them made it into the finals because of that?"

  Tsunku and Tetsuya Komuro were really shocked by Jerry! They had never seen Jerry with a smile on his face, and it was terrifyingly gloomy!

  Jerry: "What? The unwritten rules are so overwhelming that even intelligence is declining? Not going to say a word in defense?"

  Two music producers with their tails between their legs hung their heads in shame, trying to make excuses? What a joke! Trying to make excuses in front of this little guy is simply asking for death. The young master of the company, Tanaka Nana's son, the prince of Japan, and the Grammy's best newcomer isn't someone who can be easily fooled just because he's young! If you want to die faster, go ahead and try to make excuses! The two old foxes clearly understood this point, so they just hung their heads and pretended to be like a dead pig that doesn't fear being scalded by boiling water. Dare to resist? Rot in prison!

  In no time, Inada Tatsumi had brought Sazae-san over!

  After reaching a cooperation agreement, on the one hand, Sakai is known for cultivating female artists and wants to expand his business. On the other hand, Akasaka's upcoming idol girl group training plan needs more support from the company's business, so the two companies are mutually beneficial and willing to cooperate, hence "Regrettable Acquisition".

  This is also what the presidents of both companies are very willing to see!

  Yota Minami rushed to the office and saw Jerry's face as cold as ice, thinking that the little guy had been stimulated again, without asking anything, he scolded the two dejected guys fiercely!

  "Alright, that's enough, Iida-kun! It's not as serious as you're making it out to be! However, these two need to reflect on their actions. And what's with the separate selection by male and female judges? Who approved this?! This is ridiculous! If we're all judges, then our status is the same, and any thoughts or suggestions should be discussed together. If we can't come to an agreement, isn't there a voting system where the minority follows the majority?! If that still doesn't work, don't worry, just give me a call! From now on, if anyone dares to pull off something so underhanded, don't say I didn't warn you! The reputation of Akatsuki Corporation can't be tarnished by your hands! Did all four of you understand?!"

  To be honest, Jerry is really angry about this. The producer messing with the contestants like this, he's heard of it before, and these unspoken rules are everywhere! The Japanese entertainment industry is especially notorious for it! But for someone as popular as him to be messed with like this, he can't accept it right now, especially when he's not even the main character in this mess! Those two idiots!

  This is the New National Theatre in Tokyo, Japan, one of the two major opera houses in Japan (the other being NHK Hall), and before the Tamashi Theatre in Tama City was completed, the final venues for several idol girl group selection competitions were always held here!

  In the large soundproof room, fifty contestants are now distributed in each of the three rooms. Every ten minutes or so, there will be a mutual transfer between the contestants in the three rooms, with about ten people transferred each time! No one knows whether they will be eliminated or promoted! The atmosphere is solemn and tense! Even Naito Nana, who doesn't understand anything at her age, almost burst into tears under this oppressive atmosphere!

  Three hours have passed and personnel are still being mobilized!

  After being scolded by Jerry, the four guys were like looking for a venting outlet, constantly bursting out their opinions, and the intensity of the debate led to continuous escalation! For example, Sakai Noriko, due to her childhood experiences, chose mostly children with spiritual energy, such as Tsumura Rie, such as Asami Kumiko. Producers like Komuro Tetsuya, due to professional instincts, chose mostly contestants with great potential for growth, such as Fujimaki Takako, and Hamasaki Ayumi. As for Kobayashi Takeshi, since he has always been focused on discovering and producing rock bands, he paid attention to contestants with a rock talent, such as Shiina Yumi (Shiina Lin), and Aikawa Nanase. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Matsumoto Rika (photo) had already passed her prime age after being put in his pocket, his attention would probably be completely focused on this beautiful rock singer.

  In short, the four of them were hard to get along with! The fierce argument almost led to a big fight in the end!

  Luckily, Jerry had arranged for a few security guards to be present beforehand, so the four of them didn't end up getting into a fight!

  It's really fierce!

  Can you imagine Arimura Kasumi suddenly getting up and pushing Matsuda Seiko with a loud slap?

  Can you imagine Takashi Kobayashi and Tetsuya Komuro going back and forth for a woman?

  At least Jerry can't imagine it!

  After five hours of waiting, the list of promotions, eliminations and pending lists finally came out! The judges and contestants have been tortured by time to the point of physical exhaustion.

  When the contestants in the room received the notice of promotion or elimination, even the soundproofing of the large room couldn't block their wailing! Compared to the contestants in the waiting room, these guys were lucky, advancing, or taking a short break before fighting again next year. In a short period of time, their path forward had become clear. But poor contestants in the waiting room still had to perform on stage once more to accept the final test!

  However, on the stage that was about to begin, Jerry saw a very familiar face, Mitsui Aiko? This woman actually came to participate in the competition as well? What did she want to do?
