Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"So that's how it is. I'm too shortsighted." Luo Tian mocked himself.

"I really didn't expect that." Sakurajima Mariko said with a little surprise: "Xiaotian actually managed to poach you, the most promising host and reporter at the TV station."

"Ms. Sakurajima, you're joking." Nanjo Fumika said with some self-mockery: "Even if you are called a host with great potential, you are just an ordinary person struggling to make a living. You can't resist the opportunity to make your life better~"

"It seems that Xiaotian paid a great price." Sakurajima Mariko looked at Luotian with a smile, and suddenly found that her evaluation of Luotian was not just excellent. It was obvious that he had strong negotiation skills and unique vision.

"After all, that's an offer that no one can refuse." Nanjo Fumika did not deny it, but immediately changed the subject, "What I also didn't expect was that Miss Sakurajima was willing to serve as the president of an agency that has no background or reputation."

"You're the same, too, giving up your stable job." Mariko Sakurajima turned into a cunning fox and tested each other with Fumika Nanjo.

"I'm very optimistic about Luotian-san." Nanjo Fumika smiled slightly, "I'm curious, what was the reason why Miss Sakurajima was persuaded by Luotian-san?"

"Of course it's the same as you. You gave me an offer that I can't refuse." Mariko Sakurajima took a sip of the iced coffee as an answer.

....... .... .......

"Since Aunt Mariko and Reporter Nanjo know each other, I will introduce her directly." Luotian pointed at the girl next to him and introduced: "Nakano Ichika, a new actress. From now on, Reporter Nanjo will be Ichika's agent."

"Hello, Miss Nanjo, nice to meet you!" Nakano Ichika extended her hand politely.

"Hello, Miss Ichika, please take care of me in the future." Nanjo Fumika extended her hand and shook it.

"No, it was Miss Nanjo who took care of me." Nakano Ichika said with a smile.

After both parties had a basic understanding, Sakurajima Mariko continued the previous topic and said, "Xiaotian, have you thought about the name of the agency?"

"The name of the firm..." Luo Tian shook his head and said seriously, "This is indeed very important. Let me think about it."

"You can't just take it casually. This is the face of the office." Sakurajima Mariko reminded gently.

"Don't worry, I will think of a most suitable name." Luotian patted his chest and promised.

"Did I miss any discussion?" asked Fumika Nanjo curiously.

"I missed it a little bit. Oh, right!" Luo Tian suddenly thought of something and said, "Reporter Nanjo, we were just discussing where to rent a place for the office. We need your help!"

"Do you need me to find a suitable venue?" Nanjo Fumika said with a smile.

"That's right." Luo Tian nodded and said, "We just discussed it and planned to look for suitable venues in places such as the financial street, commercial street, entrepreneurial economic zone, development zone and downtown area."

"I see. So what are the conditions?" Nanjo Fumika quickly got into the mood and asked carefully.

"Convenient transportation, good environment, safety, and preferably a two- or three-story stand-alone building." Luotian said, counting on his fingers.

"I see. I can try to look for it." Nanjo Fumika thought and added, "But there are many alternative areas, so it will take some time."

"That's not a problem." Then, Luo Tian waved his hand magnanimously, "From today on, it counts as work. Finding a place also counts as work. You can ask me to reimburse the expenses on the way!"

"OK!" Nanjo Fumika was surprised and praised: "Luotian is really a different kind of boss!"

"Of course." Luo Tian continued, "This matter requires the cooperation of reporter Nanjo and Aunt Mariko. Tell Aunt Mariko when you have the appropriate information."

"No problem." Nanjo Fumika smiled and shouted, "President Sakurajima, please give me your guidance~"

"Same here." Sakurajima Mariko raised her head slightly, then looked at Luotian and said, "By the way, Xiaotian, the rental budget for the venue and the purchase of various equipment and office supplies need to be made. I will make a list later and give it to you after calculating the prices."

"Okay." Luo Tian nodded and added, "We still have plenty of time, we just need to get it done before the end of the month."

"Before the end of the month?" Sakurajima Mariko pondered for a moment, and seemed to understand why Luotian suddenly announced that work would start from today.

"Aunt Mariko, please give me your card." Luotian said.

"Card? What card?" Mariko Sakurajima was a little confused.

"Of course it's a bank card. I'll transfer the start-up funds to you." Luo Tian said.

Chapter 224: Enemy Mercury Lamp

All the issues regarding the establishment of the firm have been clarified, and now all that remains is to resolve them.

After Luotian transferred 500 million yen in deposits to Mariko Sakurajima, several people supplemented the details on various issues in the agency.

Afterwards, Luotian explained the recent problems that Ichika Nakano had, and Mariko Sakurajima also answered the problems that Ichika Nakano encountered during the filming, which could be regarded as some guidance.

Although it was just a simple discussion, it was very time-consuming and before we knew it, it was already evening.

This is also the signal of the end.

Before leaving, Luotian called Miki Okudera again.

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Miki Okudera asked politely.

"Give me the menu." Luotian said.

"Okay." Miki Okudera handed over the menu and subconsciously took out paper and pen from her pocket.

"Five servings of honey balls, three servings of pancake rolls, three servings of candied chestnuts, two servings of silie cheese rolls, three servings of mousse cakes, and five servings of strawberry puddings. That's about it. Pack it up for me." Luotian closed the menu and handed it to Miki Okudera.

"Okay, please wait." Miki Okudera was slightly surprised, but did not show it and turned around to prepare.

"Ms. Okudera, wait a moment."

"Yes sir, is there anything else you need?"

"Well, add another serving of wine pudding, and mark it as an exception."

"Okay, I understand. Please wait."

"Xiaotian, haven't you eaten enough? You ordered so much, it won't last long~" Sakurajima Mariko reminded.

"I'm not eating it." Luo Tian explained, "I'm taking it back for Zhenhong and the others. Aunt Mariko still remembers it, right?"

"They..." Sakurajima Mariko nodded and smiled, "Of course I remember. It still feels incredible when I think about it now."

"It's been a while since I've seen Shinku and the others." Nakano Ichika said with a nostalgic look on her face.

"Who keeps you so busy?" Luo Tian said jokingly, "Zhen Hong often goes to play with Nino, Miku, and the others!"

"Ah... Really, Xiaotian, don't make me so envious..." Nakano Ichika pouted unhappily. After all, her relationship with Shinku and the others was still very good.

"That's great~" Nanjo Fumika rested her chin on her hand and said with a smile, "Luotian-san is really gentle."

"Oh, it's just so-so." Luotian waved his hand with undisguised pride.

Not long after, Miki Okudera came over with two waiters carrying a number of exquisitely packaged boxes.

"Check out."

"Okay, you have..."

"Young Master! Young Miss!"

A long-lost name interrupted Miki Okudera's words, causing several people to look over subconsciously.

She was a middle-aged woman with her hair tied up, wearing a suit and a tight skirt, and holding a folder in her hand.

Luotian recognized at a glance that this middle-aged woman was Lingna's secretary, whom he had met at the Okura Hotel.

"Aunt Ritsuko..." Nakano Ichika also recognized who this woman was and didn't understand why she was here.

"Miss." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Manager." Miki Okudera called respectfully, and consciously took two steps back, looking at Luotian with curiosity and shock, and feeling extremely interested in her heart.

"Um...Manager?" Luotian looked at the middle-aged woman holding the folder in her hand with some confusion, then looked around as if he was looking for something.

The middle-aged woman saw the meaning of Luo Tian's actions and said, "Sir, the president is not here."

"Why are you here...?" Luo Tian asked.

"Sir, don't you know? This place has been bought by the president, and I am in charge of supervision." said the middle-aged woman.

"Bought it? When?" Luo Tian asked again: "Also, aren't you in charge of the improvement of the Okura Hotel?"

"Sir, have you forgotten? The president arranged for me to participate in the last private auction of the Yukinoshita family." The middle-aged woman continued, "In addition, the Okura Hotel has been improved, is operating well, and is recovering steadily."

"So..." Luo Tian suddenly realized, "The person who shouted 1.4 billion is you!"

"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded slightly and said, "This Italian restaurant has a very good profit every month. If it weren't for the problems of the Yukinoshita family, it would not be possible to buy it for 1.4 billion."

Silently listening to the conversation between Luotian and the middle-aged woman Ritsuko, Sakurajima Mariko and Nanjo Fumika on the side looked extremely shocked.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Ritsuko." Luotian also called out the name that Ichika Nakano called out.

"No, this is what I should do." The serious middle-aged woman smiled lightly and then asked, "Are the young master and the young lady leaving?"

"Um...well, it's getting late." Nakano Ichika replied.

"Yeah." Luo Tian also responded: "I was just about to pay the bill."

"That's true." The middle-aged woman looked at the sunset outside and said, "Sir, let me finish it."

"It doesn't matter. You still have to pay what you owe." Luotian said.

"Well... okay." The middle-aged woman didn't say much, but turned back to look at the dazed waitress, "Okudera, show the bill to the young master."

"Eh?! Yes!" Miki Okudera was surprised and quickly handed over the bill.

After a while, Luo Tian and his companions got up and left after paying the bill. In addition to the food they took away, there were more than a dozen empty plates left on the table. It was obvious that they had eaten a lot throughout the afternoon.

“Welcome to visit next time~”

This was the first time that Miki Okudera met such a handsome and wealthy guest, so she couldn't help but follow him respectfully to the door.

"Goodbye." Luotian turned around and said to Miki Okudera.

"Young Master, Young Miss, please be careful." the middle-aged woman warned.

"Yes, I understand." Nakano Ichika replied.

"Okay, we'll leave first." After saying that, Luotian and his companions came to the parking lot.

"Well, Miss Sakurajima, Ichika-san, Rakuten-san, I'll be leaving first." said Nanjo Fumika.

"Okay, bye!" Luotian responded, and Sakurajima Mariko and Nakano Ichika nodded slightly.

After Nanjo Fumika drove away, Luotian said, "Aunt Mariko, come to my place for dinner tonight."

"Eh? Dinner?" Sakurajima Mariko was startled and a little dazed.

"Yes." Luotian said calmly.

"Sakurajima-senpai! The food Xiaotian cooks is delicious, let's eat together!" Nakano Ichika agreed.

"This..." Sakurajima Mariko hesitated.

"We are all family. It's not too late to go back after dinner." Luotian added.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Sakurajima Mariko was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luotian carefully, thinking that with this girl around, she wouldn't dare to do anything rash.

"Okay... I'll leave after dinner." Sakurajima Mariko agreed, and whispered to herself: "I'll be alone when I go home anyway..."

"That's great!" Nakano Ichika smiled with surprise. Ever since she received some pointers, Nakano Ichika has admired the senior who has trained popular actors even more, and she wishes she could move all of her experience to her own heart.

"Get in the car." said Mariko Sakurajima.

"Okay!" Nakano Ichika opened the back door of the car and sat with Luotian.

Soon, the car started and drove out of the underground parking lot.

After a ten-minute drive, the car stopped in front of the [Rose] doll shop.

After getting off the car, Luotian glanced at the red Aston Martin parked on the other side of the store door and knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka had not left yet.

"Xiaotian, you bought a car?" Sakurajima Mariko was surprised when she saw the red sports car, but then she thought, if she could easily buy a whole restaurant for tens of billions, then buying a car would be just as easy.

"No, that belongs to my homeroom teacher." Luo Tian shrugged slightly and took the packed dessert from Nakano Ichika. "Auntie Mariko, please come in. It's quite hot outside."

"Um... OK." Sakurajima Mariko looked inside through the glass and then followed Nakano Ichika in.

There aren't many customers in the store, only a dozen or so, but compared to ordinary stores, this is equivalent to having dozens or even hundreds of customers. After all, Luotian sells high-quality products, and the lowest price is over 100,000 yen.

"Master, you're back!"

"Father! Welcome home!"

Feiju and Canary were sitting at the cashier counter and were very happy to see Luotian come back.

"Well, I'm back." Luo Tian smiled and said, "See who else is here."

"Hey! It's Ichika! And...Mai's mother." Canary blinked and looked at Sakurajima Mariko with some curiosity.

"Canary, Himuri, it's been a while since we last met~!" Nakano Ichika greeted them happily.

"It's been a week, Ichika." Himuri said with a smile.
