Chapter 90 Trouble

Higuchi Norio looked up and down Kazuki Akiyama, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Akiyama-sang is really talented and temperamental. There is an old saying in ancient China called 'There is poetry and calligraphy in the stomach'. It must be referring to people like Qiushan-sang."

Unexpectedly, the man in kimono in front of him has a lot of research on Chinese culture, and there are not many Japanese who know this sentence.

"Higuchi-san is too famous." Akiyama Kazuki bowed modestly.

Higuchi Norio glanced at the stove on the tea table, the round and full tea kettle, the lid was half closed, the slight sound of water came from the mouth of the kettle, and the rising white mist drifted away and gradually disappeared into the air.

The young man who had been standing behind him without making a sound bent forward, picked up the tea kettle and set out two irregular tea bowls, filling them for Kazuki Akiyama and Norio Higuchi.

The movements are meticulous, as if they have been rehearsed countless times, in this quiet tea room, there is a hint of Zen.

Looking at the scar on his forehead again, Kazuki Akiyama couldn't help but think of the Asuras in Buddhism.

The steam in the tea bowl is steaming, and the tea leaves, which were originally shaped like pine needles, become fresh and green.

Norio Higuchi raised his hand to signal, and Kazuki Akiyama picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. It had a little astringency, but the tea was rich in fragrance, and the sweetness was lingering after the entrance.

"how?"

"Full-bodied and refreshing, with a long aftertaste."

"Haha, it seems that Akiyama-san also understands tea. This superb Shizuoka sencha is not in vain." Norio Higuchi praised with a look of joy, and then took a sip of tea slowly.

"I wonder if Akiyama-san is satisfied with this meeting ceremony?" Higuchi Norio asked casually with a smile.

Kazuki Akiyama twitched his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the record award on New Year's Eve. "I don't know what I can do to make Higuchi-san bother so much."

Higuchi Norio did not answer, but handed over a business card.

Kazuki Akiyama took it and looked at it carefully.

Executive Director of BURNING PROJECT Office, Vice President of Donghe Planning Office.

Trouble, I had guessed before, but I didn't expect it to be the worst answer.

Withdrawing his emotion, Kazuki Akiyama bowed his body, "It turns out to be Higuchi, the managing director of BURNING office, and I have admired him for a long time. I wonder if Higuchi-san invited this time...?"

"Akiyama-san's talent is obvious to all, but it's a pity that he has not been able to maximize his advantages." Norio Higuchi paused, looked into Kazuki Akiyama's eyes, and pretended to regret, "It's because there is something missing."

"Please tell Higuchi-san clearly." Akiyama Kazuki knew that he was deliberately trying to sell a secret, but he also wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Media resources." Norio Higuchi spat out the answer, "With the excellent works of Akiyama-kun, if it is supported by enough media resources, I dare not say anything else, the score can be improved by at least [-]%.

And I heard that Akiyama-kun's latest single this time didn't even have TIE-UP available at the beginning, but Akiyama-kun found it himself in the end.

This is unimaginable in BURNING, and it will never happen. "

Hearing this, Kazuki Akiyama finally knew the purpose of the other party's visit. He had heard that BURNING likes to poach people from other firms.

Hiromi, the idol in the 70s, was poached from Johnny's by Zhou Fang, the president of BURNING, and also took away 5 Johnny's JR.It is said that Kitagawa was so angry that he almost went into shock.

Now it seems that the idea has hit him again, but he thought of what BURNING did to Sakai Spring before.

Kazuki Akiyama had already crossed BURNING's name in his heart, and the name was grayed out directly, unable to be selected and operated.

"Thank you Higuchi-san for taking care of me, but I am already very satisfied with this result." Akiyama Kazuki pretended not to know his reason for coming, and his eyes were dazed.

"Mr. Qiushan, as long as you transfer the contract to BURNING, you will definitely get full support. You only need to create with peace of mind, and BURNING will help you with other things."

Higuchi-san put away his smile, no longer a smiling expression, and the sense of oppression rose in a straight line in an instant, obviously Kazuki Akiyama's intentionally confused words annoyed him.

"Besides, it doesn't matter if Akiyama-kun's talent is there or not. Any firm will be successful now. Of course, it will only be better after BURNING."

Kazuki Akiyama didn't want to deal with the number one evil force in the industry, and his domineering style had been revealed in the conversation just now.

Moreover, although BEING does not have the territory of BURNING in various industries, and the media resources are not sufficient, it is better than freedom.

In the past six months, Kazuki Akiyama has hardly felt the existence of restraint, and he is an ideal partner for cooperation.

Thinking of this, Kazuki Akiyama still declined, "Thank you Higuchi-san for your love, BEING has nurtured me since before I debuted.

If I leave BEING, I will definitely become an ungrateful person, will be spurned by everyone, and will not be able to gain a foothold in the circle in the future. "

"As long as you join BURNING, no one dares to ignore the existence of Akiyama-kun, and no one dares to criticize anything." Norio Higuchi said calmly, with a proud but substantive eye-catching.

Perhaps BURNING does have such confidence, but Kazuki Akiyama also has his own persistence.

"Thanks to Higuchi-san's love, but I personally prefer to use a gentle way to be convinced." Akiyama Kazuki bowed.

Norio Higuchi stared at Kazuki Akiyama expressionlessly, the scar on the forehead of the young man standing behind him seemed to be more ferocious.

Just as Ishida Takumi, who was standing behind Kazuki Akiyama, was nervously hesitating whether to call the police, Norio Higuchi suddenly smiled.

"Then we'll have to wait and see."

Kazuki Akiyama paused, and bowed his body, "Thank you for your hospitality today."

After speaking, he got up and left the table, followed by Ishida Takumi.

...

Sitting in the car, Kazuki Akiyama loosened his collar, frowning slightly.

"It's troublesome, I didn't expect it to be the famous BURNING." Ishida Takumi sighed helplessly.

"But it doesn't look like Kazuki-kun understands the tea ceremony, it looks like that."

"I said that I made it up casually, do you believe it?" Kazuki Akiyama replied blankly.

Ishida Takumi, who almost choked on a sentence, was speechless.

"Don't you guys know this is enlivening the atmosphere?" Ishida Takumi complained, "But this time it's really tricky."

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with earth, but recently we must pay attention to whether there are suspicious people around.

And let Watanabe-san and those gossip tabloids take care of it in advance, and don't be stingy with the benefits that should be given.

Don't ask them to keep silent, just hope that if there is any news, they can be notified in advance, even if it is a rumor that is speculative. "

Kazuki Akiyama has no good solution for the time being, he just doesn't know what the opponent's back move is. This sense of unknown crisis is really disgusting.
