Chapter 31

———— This is the third update of today ————

Ako Miwa smiled and glanced at Maki Oshima, then at Atsuko Maeda.

"Actually, Ako should also be a bit worried. If it really is as Mr. Kagawa said... then she might threaten your position, Ako."

Although Atsuko Maeda stood at the center of AKB48, her personality was rather weak... she was a girl who appeared gentle but was strong inside.

"I understand, Ane-san... I will continue to work hard." Atsuko Maeda knew that Ako Miwa was doing this for her good...

"Alright, it's getting late... everyone has had a tiring day... go home early. By the way, those who need to retake exams, be careful..."

As Ako Miwa said this, she saw the faces of Koyuki Oshima, Minami Minegishi, and Maki Oshima turn dark...

"Haha, lucky for me, I found a strong person to rely on at the last moment." Shizuo Watanabe looked at Maki Oshima and the others with a smug expression.

Maki Oshima and the others gritted their teeth in anger but couldn't do anything about it...

"Alright, stop fooling around... everyone go home quickly." Ako Miwa smiled and stopped the commotion.

"Bye, see you tomorrow..."

...

Kagawa Hane looked somewhat surprised at the middle-aged man in front of her, and the three girls beside her were also very surprised, but more so with delight... because this man was the general manager of a talent agency.

After Kagawa Hane and the others finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant, they encountered this man.

At the man's enthusiastic invitation, the four of them went to a nearby coffee shop.

This man was Endo Tsubasa, the general manager of LesPros. Since Kagawa Hane was discharged from the hospital, he had been waiting for her to appear. Sure enough, he met Kagawa Hane and Tomomi Itano and others having dinner near the AKB48 theater. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, he decisively invited Kagawa Hane for coffee.

"Mr. Kagawa, your talent and business acumen are highly valued by our agency... this time, I am here with full sincerity to invite you to join our agency." Endo Tsubasa's face wore a professional smile.

"Mr. Endo, you know... I am someone who has already been fired... this might affect how others perceive me and could impact the reputation of your agency." Kagawa Hane said calmly.

"Mr. Kagawa, everyone knows the truth... AKS failed to recognize your talent, leading to your downfall. On this point, our agency and our president can give you a promise. As long as Mr. Kagawa is willing to join us, we will not let you down." Endo Tsubasa lowered his attitude.

On the surface, Kagawa Hane appeared very calm, but inside, she was quite surprised... she was just a small-time agent, and her most valuable identity was probably that of a Facebook shareholder... was it necessary to be so humble?

Kagawa Hane didn't know what happened while she was unconscious. Endo Tsubasa and his agency valued not only Kagawa Hane's personal talent but also her mysterious background... a force that could influence the entire country was supporting Kagawa Hane, at least that's how Endo Tsubasa saw it. If they could attach themselves to this tree, the agency's future glory was just around the corner.

Kagawa Hane pondered for a few seconds and said, "I will consider it..."

"Mr. Kagawa... could you also listen to our proposal?" A sudden arrival disrupted the situation.

Endo Tsubasa glared angrily at the man. This man was his high school classmate, and they had never gotten along well, from high school to the present, they had been in constant competition.

"Why are you here?!" Endo Tsubasa angrily questioned.

"Of course, to invite Mr. Kagawa to join our agency..." the man smiled lightly.

"Mr. Kagawa, I apologize for the interruption... I am the general manager of SWEETPOWER agency, my name is Kita Taiichi. Please take care of me. And the three from AKB, please take care of you as well." Kita Taiichi politely greeted Kagawa Hane and the three girls.

After the three girls greeted Kita Taiichi with some trepidation, they quietly sat beside Kagawa Hane and listened.

"Hello... I remember the president of your agency is Ms. Okada Naoyumi." Kagawa Hane smiled.

"That's correct... the president highly appreciates your talent... if you join our agency, we will support the signed artists to prioritize resources, including variety shows, TV dramas, and movies... for example, for Ms. Itano, we will provide maximum support for her development within AKB48." Kita Taiichi's offer was very generous, and the three girls sitting beside Kagawa Hane were somewhat tempted...

Endo Tsubasa, however, became anxious...

"Mr. Kagawa... I don't deny the truth of what Mr. Kita Taiichi said... our agency can also offer these conditions... plus a few more. We can transfer Ms. Itano, Ms. Minegishi, and Ms. Hoshino to our agency and arrange corresponding promotional activities for them... and we can also sign the super rookie, Nao Eri, under you."

Kita Taiichi looked at Endo Tsubasa in surprise... it seemed this guy was really going all out.

"Mr. Kagawa... our agency can also sign Maki Horikita under you... and after selecting new talent, as long as there are good prospects, you can have priority in choosing them." However, he also had a strong bargaining chip.

"You?!" Endo Tsubasa glared angrily at Kita Taiichi.

The three girls, Tomomi Itano, Mariko Shiozaki, and Miki Hoshino, looked at Endo Tsubasa and Kita Taiichi in a daze.

Kagawa Hane calmly analyzed the advantages and specialties of the two agencies...

She really couldn't make a decision right away...

"Let's do this... both of you are very sincere... so I think I should go back and consider it carefully. I am very grateful to both agencies for their high regard, and I feel very honored." Kagawa Hane felt it was better to think it over.

Endo Tsubasa and Kita Taiichi looked at each other, knowing that continuing to argue wouldn't lead to any results...

The two of them nodded in rare agreement.

"Then... I won't disturb Mr. Kagawa anymore."

"Mr. Kagawa... goodbye..."
