Chapter 114: I feel like I'll finish a month's worth of bowing today

Seeing the two enter, Mr. Arai said to Mr. Yin Teng:

"Since the guests have arrived, I won't delay your business, so I'll excuse myself first."

"Arigato, sorry for the trouble~"

"It's nothing~"

Saying this, he stood up and prepared to go out. He paused slightly at the door and bowed to both of them.

Fangcun Dayou bowed in response: "Excuse us~"

Naoki Nagayama also bowed along.

I feel like I'll finish a month's worth of bowing today!

In the old-fashioned Japanese detached house, there were no chairs, and they adopted the kneeling method.

Sitting five people in the small living room seemed a bit cramped.

This visit was considered quite formal. Naoki Nagayama knelt to the right of Fangcun Dayou.

But the eyes of the three people opposite clearly fell on Naoki Nagayama.

Especially the two women, who looked like they wanted to look but were afraid of being impolite.

"Cough!" Fangcun Dayou coughed to attract their attention. "Mr. Yin Teng, Mrs. Yin Teng, and Miss Yin Teng, I am Fangcun Dayou, the president of the GG agency. I am here today on behalf of the GG agency to explain some matters regarding the contract."

"Hi! We are all ears." Mr. Yin Teng replied very formally.

"The process of holding up the sign this time was actually an accident. First, I need to apologize to you all. It was our employee who didn't understand the rules of the program clearly, which is why he held up the sign without authorization, causing Miss Yin Teng to lose other opportunities."

Fangcun Dayou turned his head and said to Naoki Nagayama in a serious tone: "Naoki-kun, why don't you ask for the Yin Teng family's forgiveness!"

"Hi, it's my fault for holding up the sign without authorization. Please forgive me, Miss Yin Teng!"

Even while kneeling, he could bow 90 degrees. In some respects, the skill of bowing was already maxed out.

Seeing the handsome young man bowing and apologizing to her, Yin Teng Chunzi hurriedly waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay, please don't do this, get up quickly~"

However, Mr. Yin Teng was already past forty and didn't panic, but instead asked:

"President Fangcun, what exactly is going on? Why do you say she lost other opportunities?"

They had discussed it beforehand. If they said directly that they held up the wrong sign, it might cause resentment and dissatisfaction from the Yin Teng family. But if they used the guise of doing it for their own good, they might be able to get some understanding.

"It's like this, Mr. Yin Teng. Our GG agency is an agency that has been established for less than a year. It's as small as can be.

Unlike our GG agency, some medium and large agencies are unwilling to hold up signs directly on the program because holding up a sign promises a lot of resources, such as creating debut songs, releasing records, taking on announcements, promotion fees, etc."

"For audition contestants, failing the selection doesn't necessarily mean no agency is interested. These agencies will contact them privately after the program and offer secondary contracts. These are the so-called other opportunities. However, due to my subordinate's reckless sign-holding behavior, it might make these agencies give up their plans."

Fangcun Dayou tried his best to describe his own agency as very small.

"By comparison, these secondary contracts are better than what our small agency can provide."

Mr. Yin Teng's brow furrowed slightly: "Then what does President Fangcun mean?"

"Hi, although our agency is a startup, we also hope to develop in the idol business, so we still hope to sign Miss Yin Teng."

Fangcun Dayou took some documents out of his briefcase: "These are the conditions our agency can provide."

Mr. Yin Teng took the documents and looked at them with his family.

Actually, the conditions inside were not complicated, similar to the original contracts for gravure idols, but some conditions regarding singers were added, such as providing basic singing training, a debut song, producing a record, participating in music program announcements, etc.

Mr. Yin Teng looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything.

"This document doesn't seem to have any problems."

In reality, the contracts were indeed much the same, but compared to large agencies, they lacked fame, channel resources, and their own connections.

For example, the training courses provided by large agencies might be professional training by American vocal masters, debut songs tailored by famous composers, records created by gold-medal producers, and distribution handled by large record companies, etc. Anyway, the basic guarantee was that even a pig could debut and fly once in the record industry.

"Hi, the standard contracts for newcomers in agencies are basically like this; it mainly depends on the agency itself." Fangcun Dayou started to sell misery again. "Our GG agency hasn't been established for long, and there is still a gap in connections and experience compared to well-known agencies."

"Being open and honest with you all this time is also because we hope there won't be any misunderstandings in the future."

Yin Teng Chunzi said at this time: "Did the GG agency form a girl group called the Wild Cat Group?"

"Hi, it was created by me. Does Miss Yin Teng know about it too?"

Since knowing that it was the GG agency that held up the sign, this family naturally inquired about the agency's information.

"Um, I have heard a little bit. How is the Wild Cat Group now?"

"I'm really sorry, the Wild Cat Group has already disbanded."

"Eh? Why?"

"After the Wild Cat Group was handed over to the Burning agency for operation, the results weren't good, and the team members found better choices."

Fangcun Dayou explained the reason simply.

"So the remaining 3 members chose to go into the entertainment industry?"

Yin Teng Chunzi looked toward Naoki Nagayama.

"That Mr. Naoki Nagayama over there should be the lead actor of 'Paranormal Activity', right!"

Naoki Nagayama, who was listening well to Fangcun Dayou's explanation, suddenly found himself being cued.

"Hi, it's me. I didn't expect Miss Yin Teng to have seen that movie."

"Sure enough, Naoki-san acted very well!"

"Arigato..."

How did it turn into a star-chasing scene?

Fangcun Dayou hurriedly coughed again to bring the topic back.

"Mr. Yin Teng, the situation is basically like this. Although our agency has just been established, if Miss Yin Teng chooses to sign with our agency, we will strive to provide her with the best opportunities within our capabilities."

The implication was that our agency is very small, and you can choose not to pick us.

Mr. Yin Teng was silent for a while.

"I understand. I need to discuss this with my family again."

Fangcun Dayou understood that this was a polite refusal, so he bowed:

"Hi, such a big matter indeed needs time for careful consideration. Then we will take our leave today."

Naoki Nagayama also bowed along: "Taking our leave."

The Yin Teng family saw them to the door, and there was another round of bowing. After going out the door, they had to bow one last time before parting...

Sure enough, they really used up a month's worth of bowing today.

Finally, they got into the car.

"Dayou-san, the strategy we discussed seems to be effective. Mr. Yin Teng clearly has the intention to refuse."

"Of course, we told them so clearly that our agency lacks strength."

"It's a good thing we weren't thrown out, hahaha~"

"Naoki-san still has the nerve to say that! If you hadn't held up the sign, this wouldn't have happened!"

"I didn't do it on purpose~" ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
