"Miss Sawaguchi, please don't rush to take your seat. Please stand here in the middle so that everyone can see you..."
Sawaguchi Yasuko was not disappointed as expected. People with backers are still with him. Different.
Her embarrassing situation of being at the bottom of the table was immediately changed because Miwa Takada took care of her again and issued an invitation.
And what surprised Yasuko Sawaguchi the most, and what she couldn’t help but admire, was that Miwa Takada used the method very cleverly, and it did not cause any resentment or dissatisfaction from other members.
At least that's how it seems on the surface.
"Now we are going to hold the regular meeting of the Huajing Club. First of all, with your enthusiastic participation and help, the Huajing Club dinner party can be held grandly again today. I would like to express my 120,000 thanks in advance. Secondly, I I would like to introduce to you our new member, Ms. Yasuko Sawaguchi. Don’t underestimate her just because she is young. Not only did she stand out from the first "Toho Cinderella" audition with 30,000 participants the year before last, she was beautiful. , won the championship. And last year, she won the Academy Award for Best Newcomer for her wonderful performance in the movie "Sisters". I am looking forward to more outstanding performances from her in the future. With the addition of an outstanding new force like Ms. Kuchiya Yasuko, our Hanajōkai will surely prosper and grow..."
Speaking of this, Takada Miwa looked around and paused, as if she suddenly realized that she A bit nagging.
So I smiled and apologized again and again, showing full kindness and introspection.
“Ah, I’m sorry, I started tirade again without paying attention. In fact, I don’t need any more introduction. As the most promising newcomer in the Japanese entertainment industry in recent years, I believe everyone has already known about Ze Miss Sawaguchi is no stranger to her. At the very least, she should have been seen on the TV screen. Therefore, I will not describe Miss Sawaguchi’s current achievements and potential in the industry here. A beautiful woman with both talent and beauty. Then let’s ask her to say a few words to everyone.”
Just like that, as soon as Takada Miwa’s introduction was over, Sawaguchi Yasuko stood in the middle of everyone. He blushed and started introducing himself again.
This kind of connection between the previous and the following is not only a tacit understanding, but Yasuko Sawaguchi also knows how to make good use of opportunities to show loyalty.
“I am Yasuko Sawaguchi, and I am very grateful to Chairman Takada for his care and love for me. I am also very honored to be a member of the Hanajingkai. Today is my first time to participate in such a noble gathering. I I came with high expectations. It’s really exciting to meet you. All the seniors are talents in the industry that I can learn from. It’s an honor for me to work with you. I hope you will do more in the future. Take care of me. I also hope that Chairman Takada will spare no effort to teach me. I am willing to contribute my own strength to our Hanajing Association as Chairman Takada.”
In full view, Sawaguchi. Jingzi opened her signature big eyes and had dimples on her face, and she introduced herself gracefully.
But her calm attitude and the deliberate emphasis in her words showed that she didn't have much expectation or interest in other people.
She only valued Miwa Takada, and felt sincerely happy and satisfied to be looked at differently by him.
The purpose of her saying these words was to let everyone see that she was determined to become a confidant of the highest decision-maker of the Huajing Society.
So no matter what other people think, Miwa Takada is obviously very satisfied with her statement.
Looking at Yasuko Sawaguchi, she also spoke in a slightly exaggerated way.
“Ah, by the way. I forgot to tell you just now, Miss Sawaguchi’s English is very good. Some time ago, the American actress Jodie Foster came to Japan to promote the movie. On NHK TV On the variety show, Ms. Sawaguchi communicated with Jodie Foster in English, and was highly praised by the other party. Such an outstanding talent can also use her talents in the increasingly frequent international exchange activities for filmmakers in the future. I also feel a lot less worried because of the role of a social expert like Miss Kuchi.”
“Ah, the chairman’s praise really scares me. To tell you the truth, I was careless and lazy all day long when I was a student. , foreign language ability is not worth mentioning at all, that is, I can barely communicate with foreign friends..."
Although Sawaguchi Yasuko denied it, her almond-shaped eyes were full of confidence.
The sudden display of sharpness inevitably made many people present feel a bit uncomfortable.
Now, no one will really regard her as a harmless little white rabbit anymore.
Some of the less powerful people here are actually worried about this, fearing that this newcomer will overwhelm them in the future.
In fact, it stands to reason that an interruptive response like Yasuko Sawaguchi’s was somewhat impolite and should have been scolded.
But Miwa Takada was very obviously biased towards her, and she deliberately pretended not to see it, and then changed the subject on her own. "Other than introducing new members, I don't have any new topics for today's regular meeting. Does Director Ikegami have any suggestions? Oh, no. Well, if everyone here has any suggestions, feel free to put them forward now."< br>
She looked around, no one dared to speak, and there was only silence in the venue.
Then he nodded with satisfaction and announced that the dinner party was about to begin.
“Since no one speaks, let’s share our feelings while having a meal. After the meal, everyone is invited to watch the Cannes award-winning film “Possession” co-produced by France and West Germany. It should be okay. Let us have a deeper understanding of the expression of European films. Let me add one more thing, this is a large-scale restricted film, and many countries have banned it, but French Adjani made it through her outstanding acting skills. Winner of Best Actress at Cannes. Please take it seriously and study hard. I found this uncut original version with great difficulty.”
Just like that, there was a burst of compliments. That’s when it officially started.
No one dared to raise objections, it was completely a formal democratic process.
Why do the Japanese like to follow the crowd so much and know how to "read the air"?
The waiters immediately hurriedly prepared the meals under the greeting of director Ikegami Koshiko.
The female artists present also started chatting, talking to each other and the people around them.
However, even at this time, Takada Miwa did not forget Sawaguchi Yasuko, but instead made the most skillful move.
Suddenly, she acted as if she had thought of something, and waved to Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was still standing there, not knowing where she should sit.
"Miss Sawaguchi! Please come here, I want to explain something about the Hanajingkai to you."
Hearing this, the overwhelmed Yasuko Sawaguchi immediately felt As soon as it lit up, there was naturally endless joy.
But the problem is that Takada Mi and the people around her naturally have different statuses.
No matter how happy she was, she couldn't help but be a little more reserved. She just sat down and couldn't wait to squeeze away the others.
"Okay, thank you, Chairman, but..."
Fortunately at this time, as a director, Ji Shiko Ikegami also knew how to read her words and could see her troubles at a glance.
And for the sake of Miwa Takada, he took the initiative to solve the problem for her.
“We are all kind and tolerant towards new members. Since Chairman Takada has said so, Miss Sawaguchi would like to say hello to everyone over there and go sit next to the Chairman.”< br>
Just like that, the female artists sitting near Junko Miyamoto’s empty seat just stood up together and moved one after another.
They actually moved their seats collectively to make room for Yasuko Sawaguchi.
"Then I will be respectful and obey your orders and accept your kindness." Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled, bowed her upper body and walked to the seat vacated for her, bowing to the female artists on the left and right. He bowed and sat down.
Now in her heart, she was really full of admiration for the aloof Takada Mei.
She finally understood everything. Takada Miwa first gave her a high-sounding reason to keep her.
Then he used this to slowly figure it out, and finally, step by step, without any rush or panic, he arranged her to be by his side.
Because every step is so "reasonable" and happens under everyone's nose, no one can stand up and accuse.
She really couldn't help but admire the eldest sister who had the ability to organize such a club. She was really capable and smart in doing things.
This is the skill of a superior person, and you really should learn it.
Takada Miwa stood tall and looked at Yasuko Sawaguchi, smiling more and more kindly at this newcomer who was willing to join in.
If not for anything else, she has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and she has a better say than others about what kind of new talents have development potential.
Obviously, Yasuko Sawaguchi has a lot of potential to tap.
And it is rare that she is so obedient, and she is also an ambitious and decisive person who dares to make bets.
If you hold it in your hand, you will definitely become a well-behaved puppet in the future.
If nothing else, even if she is really popular, there will be no shortage of men to covet her with such an appearance and body.
He can introduce her to powerful figures in exchange for some resources and opportunities to increase his influence in the industry.
To put it another way, even if you don’t engage in this kind of business of exchanging power and sex, multiple members are beneficial and harmless, at least multiple incomes.
Looking at her dress, she is not shabby at all. She will not be unable to pay her membership dues and meal expenses.
Isn’t it because there are many people like her in the entertainment industry that it is profitable to hold dinner parties by yourself?
Take today’s dinner party as an example. There are more than twenty people, and each of them earns 70,000, which is 1.5 million yen.
So what if there are fifty people having a dinner party or a hundred people having a dinner party in the future?
This kind of business can definitely be done!
"Please sit back and relax. In fact, there are no strict rules at the Flower World Club, but if you can attend the semi-monthly dinner party, please be sure to attend. If you really can't come, it's okay. relationship, but I’m afraid there will be a sense of distance from everyone, especially as an elite member of the Huajing Club. If we don’t meet often, we won’t be able to exchange industry intelligence and information. If there are some famous directors and producers as well. If guests come to our party, they may lose some rare opportunities."
First she was full of care and love, and then Takada Miwa said forcefully, "Miss Sawaguchi, I am now. I want to introduce you to the key members of this association. From now on, you will always be under their care."
After taking a sip of the soup brought by the waiter, Takada Miwa began to introduce Yasuko Sawaguchi one by one. Those closest to her.
"You recognize this Director Ikegami, right? She is the third person in the Hanakokyo Association. This is Director Sekiguchi, but she was the heroine in the "Torajiro Story" series of movies. Next to her is Nosaka-san, she is from Nikkatsu Actress, I heard that she is about to take on a movie with a production of 300 million. And this Miss Yuki Saito, she is about the same age and resume as you, and she is a member two times earlier than you. She is currently in the morning room. The play was a great success and was well received by drama critics..."
Every time Miwa Takada introduced someone, Yasuko Sawaguchi showed a bright smile like a rose and nodded respectfully.
"I have admired my name for a long time. I will trouble you to take good care of you in the future."
Similarly, everyone who was introduced also expressed their feelings towards Yasuko Sawaguchi for the sake of Miwa Takada. Showing the calmness of a senior, he responded cordially.
“You’re welcome, Miss Sawaguchi is so capable at such a young age. I hope we can work together and help each other in the future.”
In short, everything in front of me is developing as the ideal situation in Takada Miwa's mind.
Under the guise of explaining the affairs of the Hanajing Society, she naturally called Yasuko Sawaguchi near her and deliberately created an opportunity to draw her into her most trusted group. This was a favor without any expense. The imperial concubine's tactics were used.
You can conquer people's hearts without spending a dime at all. It's really a great deal.
And this kind of differential treatment, even if someone is sensitive to it, she doesn't care at all.
On the contrary, I think it can stimulate others' desire to please themselves, which is conducive to building loyalty.
What is important is that subordinates compete with each other to be the first to flatter themselves.
Although they are unhappy and dissatisfied, it is just because they are in different situations and they say the grapes are sour because they cannot eat the grapes.
Once anyone can join her team of confidants, their tails will surely wag happily.
She firmly believes this.
Because this is the charm of hierarchy, and no one can resist it.
However, just when she was most satisfied, she looked around happily, observing the scale of her power.
I observed with pleasure that no one in the banquet hall bowed their heads to me and listened to the female artist, enjoying this moment of inner peace.
An unexpected situation fundamentally changed the originally perfect situation.
Her confidence and good expectations just now were completely shattered.
Suddenly, a blow that seemed to be pushed down into an abyss hit her heart hard.
And all this should be blamed on Junko Miyashita, who suddenly pushed open the door and was at least twenty minutes late.
Because the news she brought was really the news that Takada Miwa least wanted to hear at this time, nor was she willing to spread.
The female star involved in these news was the only exception that made Takada Miwa envious and jealous. She once wanted to control her most, but failed miserably and had no way out.
