**Chapter 946: Yoko Okino's Purpose**
At 10 PM, in the Building's Underground Parking Lot.
Chi Feichi walked beside his Red Lexus, which he had just retrieved, but didn't reach out to open the Car Door. "Ms. Okino Yoko, what do you need from me?"
"Didn't I say it earlier at the Dining Room?" Yoko Okino wore a short blue formal dress, her curly hair tied back, and smiled. "I want to request you to take me Home!"
"You know I drank alcohol." Chi Feichi said.
When Yoko Okino brought the Company Newcomer to greet him, she saw him drinking alcohol. Yoko Okino hadn't just met him, so she should know he wouldn't bring a Driver. Yet, she still proposed letting him take her back, so she definitely wasn't seriously asking him to take her.
Moreover, Yoko Okino had her own Company Car she could take, so she didn't need him to take her. Asking him to take her would instead be trouble.
If gossip Reporters who had been staking out near Yoko Okino's Home were to see this, tomorrow morning, the relevant gossip news would be published. Before tomorrow noon, Yoko Okino's Company and Residence Vicinity would be blocked by Fans, making it impossible to get through.
"Right, right," Yoko Okino also noticed that her excuse was indeed poor. She raised her head, wanting to look at Chi Feichi's expression, but discovered the light was too dark; she couldn't see clearly. Looking at the figure opposite her, who was much taller than her, she felt a lot of pressure. "Mr. Chi, the light here is dim. You look really scary like that... No, not scary, just makes me feel afraid."
Chi Feichi was silent for a moment. "If you have something, please say it directly."
Acting cute won't work, and don't subtly tease him for being scary.
He's not a ghost, how could I be scary?
Yoko Okino lowered her head and was conflicted for a moment. Seeing that Chi Feichi was still waiting for her to speak, and was obviously not that impatient, she was conflicted for a moment again. "I'll go and get my hat and glasses. How about we go out and find a quiet place to sit for a bit?"
Chi Feichi recalled the nearby Hotels for a moment, and took out his mobile phone. "Ilya Hotel? I'll call to book a Room."
Yoko Okino is not a Newcomer Artist who just debuted. She wasn't someone who wouldn't understand those subtle hints, and there was no possibility of teasing him. Then she must be serious, he just doesn't understand why.
"Ah, okay... Then I'll go and get my hat."
Indeed, Yoko Okino did not refuse. She turned around and ran to the Front of her Car, opened the Car Door and took her hat.
Chi Feichi called to book a Room and asked the Hotel to arrange for a Driver to drive over.
Yoko Okino covered her Face tightly with her hat, glasses, and scarf, carried a large bag, and also put on a rustic loose coat. Just like an unkempt ordinary woman, she got into the car with Chi Feichi.
The Car didn't drive for long. It turned around two Streets and entered the Underground Parking Lot.
After the Driver handed the room card to Chi Feichi, he led the way to send the two people to the Elevator at the Rear of the Parking Lot.
When they arrived at the Hotel Room, Yoko Okino changed her shoes, then took off her scarf, glasses, and hat. She looked at the Tokyo Tower and Street Scene Outside the French Window, which were the same as those in the Dining Room. She looked around, and asked, her ears red, "Mr. Chi, why did you book two Rooms?"
Chi Feichi picked up Feichi, who had just poked its head out, took it to one of the Rooms, turned on the light, put Feichi on the Bed, turned around and went out, closed the Door, and locked the Door from the Outside.
He told Yoko Okino the answer with a series of actions.
Feichi: "..."
The Bedding is so cool, it seemingly has been abandoned.
Master actually locked the Door from the Outside, it can't even slip over at midnight... Ptooey, wrong, it's not that kind of snake!
In the Living Room, Yoko Okino poked her head out and looked at the entire process, sweated a little. "You always bring Feichi? You bring it when you go out too?"
"I generally bring it." Chi Feichi turned around and went back to the Front of the Sofa. "Do you want to eat something?"
"Thank you, but I need to control my diet, so no need for food. Just drink something casually, you decide," Yoko Okino paused. "I'll go... take a bath and change clothes."
Chi Feichi made an intercom call to have drinks sent upstairs. He went to the Living Room Bathroom and took a bath, looked at the Living Room and the remaining Rooms again, and observed all the Buildings opposite the Window again.
Yoko Okino heard Chi Feichi entering the Room in the Bathroom. Reluctantly leaving a tub of warm water, she blew dry her hair, put on her yukata, and stared at herself in the mirror anxiously for a moment. She took a deep breath and opened the Door to go out.
Chi Feichi sat on the Platform In Front of the Window, poured the dark red liquor from the decanter into two wine glasses, and greeted without raising his head, "Come over and sit."
Yoko Okino stepped forward. "That..."
As soon as Chi Feichi raised his head, he saw Yoko Okino with her hair down, wearing a yukata, hiding behind the Curtain and looking Outside.
Due to having just taken a bath, Yoko Okino's Face, which had washed off makeup, had red cheeks. The skin of her half-exposed legs from the yukata also showed a layer of soft pink.
Yoko Okino sensed the Line of Sight Beside her, turned her head to meet Chi Feichi's Line of Sight. Looking at those Eyes, which were deep purple and more aggressive, Just like a terrifying Abyss intending to annex her, her heartbeat and breath simultaneously choked for a moment. Fortunately, those Eyes quickly recovered their usual calmness, Just like it was Just her illusion before.
"It's okay, come over," Chi Feichi withdrew his Line of Sight. "I looked just now, there are no Buildings in the Vicinity that can see this Window."
Just now as he was looking, some characteristics unique to the 2D World made him feel for a Moment like he was looking at an enlarged manga. It was like he was seeing all of this across a World Barrier, causing him to almost break character.
"Okay..." Yoko Okino let out a sigh of relief, silently appeased her rapidly beating heart, took off her slippers, went to the Platform, and sat Beside Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi handed a cup of red wine to Yoko Okino. Smelling the faint aroma of shampoo Beside him, he finally recovered the cognition that 'the person in front of him is not a cardboard cutout'.
"Thank you." Yoko Okino caught the cup, sensed Chi Feichi's Line of Sight fell on her again. This time she didn't dare to raise her head, and looked Outside the window sideways.
"I don't understand what you are thinking." Chi Feichi was testing the waters by making things a bit clearer.
With Yoko Okino's reputation and status, there is no need to do this kind of thing for resources, and Yoko Okino is not a casual person.
Yoko Okino is the competitor's Ace. He also specially learned about her, not only her appearance to the Outside World, but also her reputation in the circle.
Since her debut, although Yoko Okino has had scandals, they were all groundless rumors. Once her reputation grew, even a bit more interaction with a certain male Artist on a program would lead people to speculate whether there was a relationship. As far as he knows, aside from an ex-boyfriend who had already broken up and committed suicide, Yoko Okino has never had any ambiguous relationship with any male.
This is a smart Woman with foresight. Many troubles can be resolved by herself, and many resources can also be fought for by herself.
When the 'Earth Ladies Team' group was going downhill, Yoko Okino discussed with Terumi Hoshino and decided to disband the group, develop separately, and pretend their relationship was not good to create buzz, and also arranged several interviews.
With this hype/promotion, the Outside World's Line of Sight shifted from the group to the individual. The impression of 'Cute Maiden Group' also became 'Yoko is so cute', 'Terumi is so cool', 'Yuki is the most mature and sensible', 'Kaoru is so pure', 'It's a pity they disbanded'...
Is it a pity they disbanded? Not a bit. If that group continued, the Outside World's impression of them would forever remain at the 'Cute Maiden Group' stage. They wouldn't excavate the differences between the four of them. Sooner or later, their group's popularity would completely pass, and it would be very difficult to utilize hype/promotion to become popular again at that time.
Afterwards, Yoko Okino used the popularity to go on programs. When facing the anti-fans' attack at that time, she handled it very properly. Her attitude was serious and sincere, which instead attracted a large batch of Fans.
Going on programs, Abbot Programs, shooting advertisements, shooting TV dramas, shooting movies...
Yoko Okino walked step by step to success. Her own brain was a major reason for this, providing far more help than other skills.
Even Yoko Okino's Company only began to increase its resource investment in her step by step after discovering her potential.
Or rather, a Female Star who can be popular for so long would never be a fool.
Besides singing and dancing, it also depends on how she deals with people, how big her perspective is, how far she can see, how her pressure resistance ability is, and how her ability to deal with crisis is.
Such a person suddenly came to find him. What she was after was definitely not the present. The reason he didn't remain vigilant or refuse was just because he knew Yoko Okino wouldn't harm people, and had discretion.
Besides the risk that he might be cut to death by his own Teacher, it should not bring him any big trouble.
Furthermore, even if Yoko Okino didn't hit enough points for him to like, getting along with her is very comfortable. She herself is considered clean, and won't trigger his germophobia. She is pretty, has a good figure, and her reputation is big enough...
She has already thought it through. As long as it's not too troublesome, he has even less reason to refuse.
"What do you think, Mr. Chi?" Yoko Okino turned her head to look at Chi Feichi, her eyes carrying a trace of expectation. "I want to listen to how Mr. Chi sees me."
"Ms. Okino is a smart person with foresight. What she is after is definitely not the present, nor simple resources. But Ms. Okino also won't scheme anything to harm people," Chi Feichi did not evade Yoko Okino's gaze. "So, I can't speculate what Ms. Okino intends to ask for."
Yoko Okino stared at Chi Feichi for a moment, suddenly her eyes were smilingly curved. "Mr. Chi..."
"What's wrong?" Chi Feichi didn't understand why Yoko Okino suddenly smiled like a flower, but if he didn't understand, he would ask directly.
"Very few people will compliment me as smart and having foresight. Actually, I relatively like this kind of compliment, but sometimes I am afraid of people saying I am smart. Like that, people will definitely say I am scheming. As an Artist, there is also a lot to bear," Yoko Okino's mood seemingly was very good. Although the smile on her Face had subsided a bit, her eyes were still carrying a smile. She said frankly, "Then I'll say it directly. I want Mr. Chi to invest funds to acquire our Company. Recently, our Company funds have had a problem. This opportunity is just right."
Chi Feichi did not rush to answer. He pondered for a moment. "Is there a possibility of a discounted acquisition?"
"I don't understand these much, but..." Yoko Okino secretly glanced at Chi Feichi's Face, and noticed she couldn't see any attitude. Her heart felt a bit uncertain. "Should not be able to lower the price, or rather, it would be good if there is no premium. But acquiring now is not a loss. Our Company has very good development prospects."
Chi Feichi lowered his head and picked up the wine glass, took a sip of liquor.
What Yoko Okino was thinking was a bit unexpected, but it's not that it cannot be understood.
The two Companies currently seemingly have a good relationship, but sooner or later they will face off again to compete for resources. Even if not for resources, their original intention was to gradually encroach, pressing down the value of the other Company. Waiting for a suitable opportunity, then intervene to acquire, or rather... annexation.
In this process, Yoko Okino will definitely be sent to the Battlefield by the other party. And their THK Company has strong capital Behind it. The probability of losing is too small. Even if they lose, they still have the ability to make a comeback.
That's quite bullying.
But what is more pitiful than the competitor is a person like Yoko Okino, who is thrown out to charge into battle.
The Company Manager facing this situation will think about resisting a bit, showcasing their ability, and increasing the Company value. If they fall into a war of attrition, THK Company, considering the cost of the war of attrition, will very likely directly choose acquisition. Then they can also earn a sum by selling out the Company. And if they lose, at most they will lose Face. What they've earned over the years has long since recovered the cost. At a suitable opportunity, they can just surrender and negotiation.
As for people like Yoko Okino, when the other party needs her, they will desperately push her up. And their side will also desperately attack, trying to find a method to knock down this mainstay.
Frankly, given the other party's situation, as long as Yoko Okino, this mainstay, fails, then they will basically collapse, and acquisition can be started.
And compared to the resource value owned by a Company, the value of one Yoko Okino is nothing at all.
As long as there are resources and funds, one 'Yoko Okino' after another can be promoted. By that time, except for some Die-hard Fans, everyone's Line of Sight will shift to the Newcomer, forgetting the Artist who failed in the struggle. After that Artist has no resources and doesn't show up for a long time, the Die-hard Fans will also slowly find new targets to pursue. When that Artist is mentioned again, at most someone will say 'I like her, if she makes a comeback, I will support her', But how many people will do as they say, how many people can firmly support, and how many people can still have the enthusiasm they had at the beginning, who also cannot say for sure.
Humanity is like this.
Moreover, falling from the cloud top causes serious trauma. Even if she can come back after being silent for a period of time, will Yoko Okino still be her previous self, and will she still have the previous attractive enthusiasm and courage? Or will she falsely maintain her persona, still being Yoko Okino on the appearance, but collapsing Night after Night Behind the scenes, gradually unable to distinguish her self?
They can afford to play, Yoko Okino cannot.
Did Yoko Okino betray her own Company? No, if he intervenes to acquire now and cannot lower the price, the other party will definitely be happy to consider agreeing. After all, it's impossible for the other party not to be clear about their wolf-like ambition to gradually encroach. Being acquired now is better than being acquired after being encroached upon, right? Moreover, everyone's Face can still be saved.
