Chapter 9 Free Dinner

In the lounge of about 100 square meters, the candidates who had already participated in the interview were much more relaxed than when queuing outside the conference room. Several familiar people spontaneously gathered together to chat about popular music and games of this age, while the rest each occupied a chair, were in a daze, or picked up magazines in the lounge to read.

Ye Zhao found a chair near the corner and sat down. He picked up a magazine casually. When he saw the cover, he felt a little messy, not only because of its colorful cover and cool-dressed cover girl, but also because the name of this magazine was called "Weekly Truth".

"Weekly Truth" is a male-oriented weekly magazine. Compared with the industry's conscience "Weekly Wenchun", which has revealed a lot of heavyweight news, "Weekly Truth" is nicknamed "Weekly Truth" as the word "weekly" is the truth. The whole magazine is full of three reports such as "Xiangxi" that are about to go into business, and a certain male star has an illegitimate child. However, he slapped his head and made random mistakes.

However, although this magazine is a bit inexpensive, the sales are good. The reason is that it contains many photo actresses' swimsuit photos and X-photos. Ye Zhao just flipped it casually and felt guilty. It was in public. Is this really good?

In the evening, the interview was over. Among the 40 people who entered the final election, six of them were considered abstention because they were not present. As the examiner representative walked into the lounge, the room that was originally slightly turbulent became quiet.

"First of all, thank you very much for coming to participate in this interview. There were more than 15,000 people who signed up for this advertising selection, and you are all the best. Therefore, when deciding on the championship candidate, the review team held a very fierce discussion." When the examiner said this, he paused, "After considering all aspects, I now announce that the winner of this NTT DOCOMO advertising selection is-"

Just like after the exam, the teacher always deliberately pauses when calling his name to get the paper. People all over the world have the bad taste of breathing when posting important results.

"The winner of this NTT DOCOMO advertising selection is—" The examiner representative who whets his appetite declared the winner's name through the microphone: "No. 26, Ye Zhao! Congratulations!"

"Now, please follow me to the reception desk on the first floor, and then there will be a press conference that lasts about thirty minutes."

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zhao slowly stood up from his seat, received the baptism of curiosity, jealousy, envy and other gazes in the lounge, and slowly walked to the examiner representative, "Hello, I am Ye Zhao."

Afterwards, he left the lounge surrounded by examiner representatives and four staff members.

Ye Zhao was an ordinary little man in his previous life. He was neither a top student with great grades nor a talent that was amazing. Apart from being a human set of school parties that had been on the shelves, he never really stood in front of the stage, so he didn't know that he felt so good when he was in the center of the stage and surrounded by spotlights.

At this moment, at the press conference, facing the long spears and short cannons of dozens of newspapers and media below, Ye Zhao finally understood why so many people had to squeeze into the entertainment industry with their heads sharpened. It was such a big focus, as if you were the center of the world, and it felt like you were like aphrodisiacs, which made people unable to stop.

However, although he appeared in front of the stage as the champion, the real protagonist was not Ye Zhao, but the vice president of NTT DOCOMO sitting next to him. The reporters extended their microphones to him, asking about the details of the selection and the time of the new product being released, etc. Ye Zhao was asked from beginning to end: Do you have any thoughts about winning the championship?

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I am of course very happy to talk about my feelings. I feel honored. After all, it is not something that anyone can do to add the NTT DOCOMO spokesperson to their future resumes."

Finally, the staff sent a large piece of cardboard with a check of one million yen. Ye Zhaohe organized the board together and took a photo under the media's lens. This news will occupy a small piece of the news and newspapers the next day, and put an inconspicuous little stone into the magnificent art world. As for whether it will cause waves, no one knows.

At the end of the press conference, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. The organizers were going to go to the high-end restaurant in Roppongi for dinner. Although they were the winners of this selection, Ye Zhao was not among the invitations. As for the reason, it was probably because in the eyes of RB people, this was their internal dinner, and Ye Zhao was not within the "internal" range. You can say that this is their rigorousness, but to put it bluntly, it is because RB is a nation that is both rigid and petty.

Chiyoda District is the capital area of ​​Tokyo, and the headquarters of many large enterprises are located here. Since it is not a commercial area, the streets are particularly quiet at night.

"These stingy RB people don't even give up a box lunch..." Ye Zhao couldn't help complaining, enduring the hunger that came from his stomach.

A white Cadillac was slowly driving from behind. When approaching Ye Zhao, the person in the driver's seat rolled down the window and greeted: "Ye Jun."

With the dim light, Ye Zhao recognized that this person was the aunt when the daytime selection was selected.

"What's up?"

"I booked a seat at a Western restaurant in Ginza. Do you want to go together? You haven't had dinner yet?"

"No," Ye Zhao refused, "Ginza is too far from where I live. After you finish your meal with aunt, maybe even the tram on the return trip will be stopped."

The woman showed a laughing and crying expression, "Please, I'm not going to farm and fish by myself, I'm just having a meal. Besides, even if the tram is stopped, can't I drive you home?"

"Auntie, there is an old Chinese saying, "It's a good person to show your kindness if you have nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief." ... Judging from your appearance, you must not understand what it means? That is to say, one person is particularly good to another person for no reason, and he must have an ulterior motive. In the middle of the night, you and I are not close to each other, so why should you treat me to a meal and send me home specifically?"

"Okay." The woman raised her hand and surrendered, "I am the agent of the Innocent Firm. Because I think you have good conditions and want to chat with you alone, is that okay?" As she said, she took out the business card from her bag and handed it over.

Ye Zhao took the business card with Yuko Nakano, the chief agent of Kenyin Firm. "It turns out that he is from Kenyin Firm. Auntie, you'd better say it's not."

Yuko Nakano once again pretended not to hear the word "auntie" and said, "Can you go with me now?"

Ye Zhao shrugged, used actions instead of language, and directly opened the door of the back seat of the car and sat in. Anyway, there was a free dinner to eat, and you could also listen to what medicine Nakano Yuko's gourd was selling, so why not do it?

The restaurant where Yuko Nakano was treating him was close to the Ginza station of the subway. It was the peak meal time, and most of the restaurants were white-collar workers working nearby. Yuko Nakano ordered salad and seafood soup, the main dish was herb grilled lamb chops, and Ye Zhao ordered salmon and vegetable soup, and the main dish was black pepper steak. Because Ye Zhao was still a minor, he did not order wine.

Ye Zhao was so hungry that he was too lazy to be polite, so he started to eat on his own. Although he was very fast when he was eating, he didn't feel rude at all. In the eyes of Yuko Nakano on the opposite side, he was very free and easy. However, she was not here to see Ye Zhao eat. When she first saw Ye Zhao, she felt a lit up. Although his appearance was not top-notch among the many candidates, his temperament was very clean. The talent he showed through the song "Secret Base" made Yuko Nakano admire him. He immediately persuaded him to join Kenyin, including the words he said during the day, which was also to attract his attention and give him some impression of himself, so that he could chat with him alone.

I have to say that Yuko Nakano looked at this point quite accurately. At that time, there were twelve examiners in the room. If she hadn't said that, Ye Zhao wouldn't have remembered such a person at all. I was afraid that she would leave her before she could hand over her business card.

"Aunt Nakano, let's say anything now." Ye Zhao, who had enough food and drink, took the initiative to pick up the topic.

"I'll go straight to the point." When talking about the serious matter, Yuko Nakano's aura changed instantly, and she had the ability to be a workplace woman. "I am very optimistic about your personal conditions and talents, and I want to sign you as an artist in the Innocent Office."

A scout wants to pick you up, but one hundred and two percent of it is because he likes you. Ye Zhao knows that the woman in front of him is different from the scouts of different origins he met in Shibuya. As long as he shows any interest, she can quickly finalize a contract, and he doesn't have to worry about being deceived into doing strange things after signing.
