Kawasaki Hana glanced at Watanabe Jun, thinking to herself, "Is this guy crazy... I didn't do anything to provoke him..." As if reading her thoughts, Ueda Ken said calmly, "This person is the heir to the Watanabe agency... To be honest, he hasn't learned any of his father's good qualities, but he has learned all the bad ones... However, Mr. Kawasaki, you still need to be careful..."

"I know, thank you, President." Although she knew Watanabe Jun was a spoiled brat, Kawasaki Hana would not show any respect to him. In her previous life, she had underestimated her opponents, which led to a tragic end. This time, she would be even more cautious, as the current society and people's minds were more complex and harder to fathom.

Upon arriving at the office, Ueda Ken and Endo Tsubasa briefly handed over some business invitations to Kawasaki Hana. The two most attractive advertising invitations for her were: one from the famous game company Koei, which hoped to obtain the adaptation rights for "Meteor Butterfly Sword" to turn the currently popular martial arts TV series into an online game. They also invited Kawasaki Hana to voice some characters in the game. Kawasaki Hana was relatively familiar with Koei; the company's most outstanding series was probably the "Dynasty Warriors" series. However, it seemed that these games were all single-player, and in her memory, while Koei's single-player games were excellent and had great graphics, the quality of their online games was poor. This made Kawasaki Hana somewhat hesitant.

The other endorsement that caught Kawasaki Hana's attention was a joint invitation from Sony Electronics and Sony Music, hoping to invite her and New垣结衣 to shoot a promotional MV for their latest MP3 model. This endorsement made Kawasaki Hana very excited. Compared to products like ** and bikinis, she preferred culturally and artistically rich products, such as MP3s and music phones. This was closely related to her values, as her previous incarnation, Rikakawasaki, was a thoroughly modern person with somewhat conservative thoughts.

"President, let's do it this way... We'll accept the Sony endorsement, the one for Hoshino, the piano advertisement, and the shampoo advertisement for Tomochin... Let's put the Koei game on hold for now and reject the other ads," Kawasaki Hana decided after a moment's thought.

"Alright." Although Ueda Ken and Endo Tsubasa were somewhat reluctant, they understood the priorities. After all, the person in front of them was a big shot... As long as he was around, there would be no shortage of opportunities to make money.

"However, Mr. Kawasaki... What about the invitations from these agencies?" Endo Tsubasa handed a stack of agency invitations to Kawasaki Hana. After carefully reviewing them, she noticed that apart from the two super agencies, Johnny's and Naniwa System, all other agencies had sent invitations, including her arch-rival, the Watanabe agency. As expected, Kawasaki Hana casually tossed the Watanabe agency's invitation aside, and Ueda Ken and Endo Tsubasa exchanged a wry smile.

...

Kawasaki Hana then excluded the comedy talent agencies like Yoshimoto Kogyo and Ota, although comedy talent made up a large part of variety shows, she could not agree with their methods and style. However, she felt some sympathy for the comedy talent; unlike other artists who were always in the spotlight, they tried their best to make themselves look silly to entertain the public for survival. As the saying goes, if a person cannot even guarantee their survival, what good is a good reputation? Despite this, Kawasaki Hana had no good feelings towards comedy talent, and thus had no interest in agencies that primarily represented them.

"Mr. Kawasaki, are you sure you won't reconsider?" Ueda Ken asked.

"I know what you're worried about... But I really have no interest in these agencies... And Yamada's personality and characteristics are not suitable for such agencies," Kawasaki Hana explained.

"But doing so will offend Yoshimoto Kogyo..." Endo Tsubasa said bluntly.

Kawasaki Hana smiled slightly. She knew what Ueda Ken and Endo Tsubasa were worried about: one, the difficulty their artists might face on variety shows, and two, the potential influence of the yakuza behind Yoshimoto Kogyo.

"I know what you're worried about... But the entertainment industry isn't run by Yoshimoto Kogyo. If they try to play dirty... I'll play dirtier!" Kawasaki Hana said coldly.

"As for the other agencies... I need to discuss it with Yamada."

...

After leaving the LESPROS agency, Kawasaki Hana drove to the SWEETPROS agency. The distance between the two agencies was quite far, and she felt almost nauseous from the drive.

To her delight, upon arriving at the agency, not only was Okada Naoyumi present, but Horiuchi Makoto was also there. She was slightly surprised but quickly understood. Okada Naoyumi had always been very protective and strict with Horiuchi Makoto, treating her like a daughter.

"It's been a while... Ladies!" Kawasaki Hana greeted the two women politely. However, Horiuchi Makoto's next action surprised her; the girl walked over and gave her a big hug, which looked like a long-lost lover's embrace!

Noticing Kawasaki Hana's surprised gaze, Horiuchi Makoto's face turned slightly red, and Okada Naoyumi smiled beside her.

"Hey... Makoto... That's a bit too much... Regardless of what President Okada thinks, if the gossip reporters see this, it could have a significant impact on your future," Kawasaki Hana said with a smile.

Although Kawasaki Hana was smiling, Horiuchi Makoto could detect a hint of reprimand in her voice.

"I'm not afraid," the girl murmured softly.

"Alright... Welcome back, Mr. Kawasaki. Let's go inside and talk about it," Okada Naoyumi interjected to ease the tension.

"Alright..." Kawasaki Hana wouldn't refuse Okada Naoyumi's face.
