After more than a year since Ayoshiki led Asuka Kitano's team to break into the Bunshun Building in July last year, the second brave person was welcomed here again.

"Yamazaki-san! Yamazaki-san! You can't go in, the editor-in-chief is having a meeting inside!"

In the editorial area on the second floor of Wenchun, many employees looked up from the newspaper manuscripts and saw the guard blocking Yamazaki, the executive editor of Yuan Wenchun, with great embarrassment. However, the other person was angry and did not look like he wanted to talk nicely.

"Whatever you are looking at, keep working!"

The current executive editor Dawu roared, and everyone lowered their heads and continued working.

Yamazaki looked over and gritted his teeth, "Okay, Dawu, you took my place, and now you won't even let me enter the company?"

"Yamazaki, you are no longer an employee of Wenchun. If this situation continues, I will have no choice but to call the police. This will not be good for everyone."

Dawu didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, but since he had the highest position present, he had no choice but to stand up.

"It's amazing. I'm leaving the tea." Yamazaki glanced at the many employees with a gloomy expression. "I have worked in Wenchun for seven years. I have led many reporters and editors, and I have single-handedly unearthed many scandals in the entertainment industry. A single work mistake is enough.

Dismissed me?"

"This is what the editor-in-chief means," Dawu came over and waved the guard out, "How many times have you come here to make trouble? Didn't I introduce you to several other publishing houses before? Even though the treatment is not so good, you can always make a living.

.”

It was okay not to mention this, but Yamazaki became even more furious when he mentioned it, "Kimura Daigo, don't pretend to be a good person here. None of the publishing houses can use me for more than two months. I have changed jobs four or five times.

I’ve searched all over the publishing houses in Tokyo, don’t say that the editor-in-chief didn’t put pressure on me!”

Dawu just frowned, "Editor-in-chief? If the editor-in-chief really puts pressure on you, you won't even be able to find a job. Is it because someone you offended in the past turned over and deliberately punished you?"

"Don't say whether these are available or not, let me see the editor-in-chief!"

Dawu sighed, "Yamazaki-san, the editor-in-chief is having a meeting inside. If you continue to make trouble like this, I will have no choice but to call the police."

"You should call the police!"

Dawu had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and was about to make a call——

"Kimura!"

Dawu turned around and saw the editor-in-chief walking out of the conference room with a sullen face, followed by several senior executives in the agency. His eyes paused on Yamazaki for a long time before he said, "Yamazaki, come in with me."

Yamazaki restrained his anger, pushed Dawu away with his shoulder, and strode into the editor-in-chief's office.

Dawu rubbed his shoulders and sighed in his mind, what is this? A young reporter behind him raised his head, looked at Yamazaki's back and narrowed his eyes.

The meeting between Yamazaki and the editor broke up after only two or three minutes. The roar that could be heard vaguely through the soundproof room made all the employees in the venue a little distracted. Soon, Yamazaki went out angrily and kicked

Digging through the trash on the sidewalk.

"Don't admit it? Apart from you, who else has so much energy? All the newspapers in Tokyo dare not accept me! You will burn bridges and push me out to protect yourself, right? Wait and see!"

After that, he left without looking back.

"Kimura." The editor-in-chief stood at the door of the office and said, "Next time someone makes trouble comes in, please call the police directly."

"Ah, yes."

It looks like they broke up on bad terms. Dawu thought to himself, and at the same time, he also wondered whether the editor-in-chief had mobilized his connections and made Yamazaki's job search blocked at every turn.

A young reporter looked around, took out the file bag from the drawer, put it in his coat, and patted his colleague beside him, "I went out to catch up on some news. Kimura-san came over to ask and help me."

The colleague nodded and said, "I caught some exciting news. Remember to treat me to dinner tonight."

"Don't worry." Then he walked out openly.

——

In the cafe on the corner of the street east of Wenchun Building, Yamazaki felt resentful and waited patiently for more than 20 minutes. He changed his coffee for two or three cups before he saw a young man in his twenties wearing a baseball hat who had arrived late.

.

"Sato!" Yamazaki scolded, "Where did you go? You made me wait for so long!"

"Sorry, sorry, Yamazaki-san, I can't help it. I went around several times. The store you picked is too close to the headquarters. If my colleagues see me, it won't be easy for me." The other party clasped his hands together and confessed with a smile, his face

But he didn't apologize. He sat down generously, turned to the female student clerk who looked like she was doing part-time work, and said, "American coffee, with ice."

Yamazaki cursed secretly and looked unhappy. This guy was very polite when he was practicing as an intern behind me, but now he just acts like a junior.

"What's wrong, Yamazaki-san, you keep staring at me."

"Hmph, it's nothing. Have you brought anything?"

Sato didn't take off his hat either. He looked around and handed over the file bag that he had not put down in his hand. Yamazaki was about to take it, but Sato pushed him down on the table with his backhand. "Senior," he smiled, "

What we promised before."

Yamazaki gritted his teeth, took out the thickly stuffed envelope from his bag and handed it over, and the other party let go.

There is not much content in the portfolio. There are more than ten photos on a USB drive. The date and location of the photo are written on the back of the photo. The top shot is very close and the resolution is not very high, but it can still be identified as a Ferris wheel carriage.

The scene where the two girls kissing is none other than Wu Geng and Nishino.

Yamazaki was a little startled, and looked up at Sato, who didn't recover for a while. The other person shrugged and said nothing. He continued to look down, and the second and third pictures showed Fukawa Hashimoto and other Nogizaka TOP members. Yamazaki quickly

He looked through several other photos and frowned, "Just these few? There are no other photos."

Most of the photos were taken at Fuji-Q Highland. There is no evidence of different time spans, so the credibility is indeed much lower. Fortunately, the two of them kissed when they were alone, otherwise it would be easy to pass it off with a joke.

In the photo, the expressions of several people are subtle, and it does not look like they are just going out for fun.

Sato knew what Yamazaki meant, and he wanted more precise, preferably final information.

"Yamazaki-san," Sato took a sip of coffee, "Frankly speaking, I was previously assigned to film Shiraishi Mai. After chasing for several months, I gained nothing. Photographing these two is an unexpected surprise. You know

The president had previously issued an order not to report news on the fifth watch, so these things are of little value in my hands. I only asked you to help me because I was thinking of my seniors."

"Help, help will make the lion open his mouth? The things on this are indeed quite shocking, but girls kissing is much easier to fool than boys. If it is reported, public opinion may still side with the other party."

"That's not what you said," Sato said without panic. "You can also see that the expressions of the people in the photo are wrong. Besides, there are videos and more pictures in the USB flash drive. Besides, this is just a teaser.

, Doesn’t it depend on a veteran like you to dig deep? If you really dig out some powerful information, it’s not about the price.” He shook the envelope in his hand and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his coat.

In fact, Sato also followed up on this matter for a while, but I don’t know if the two of them found out that someone was following them, and they became far apart. Now they rarely even have the opportunity to be alone together. Sato attributed it to his lack of ability.

, decisively pulled away and gave up.

Yamazaki sneered and said no more. He lowered his head and looked through the photos in his hand repeatedly. He was neither stupid nor stupid. If this thing was done well, it would indeed have quite shocking effects. The idol was just a supplement, so it was best.

Bring up bigger topics, such as LGBT.

You must know that Tokyo's Shibuya District only passed the "Certificate of Partner" ordinance in November this year, becoming the first regional law in Japan to legalize same-sex. When this incident comes out, it will be regarded as a typical example and trigger almost a national discussion.

It is inevitable, and it is far more valuable than simply reporting some sexy news.

He believed that no publishing house would reject such a piece of news.

Yamazaki felt something was wrong at this time, and put the photo back into his bag vigilantly, "...why don't you keep it in your hand?"

If a reporter reported such an event, his worth would immediately double. He didn't think Sato would let this opportunity pass easily.

"I have already said that the editor-in-chief is not allowed to report on events related to the fifth update."

"Just because of this? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

Sato sighed, "Yamazaki-san, that's all for me. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I just want to make quick money without any hidden dangers. This time is a complete coincidence. Even if you give me the position of executive editor, I will

Even if I can’t do it, I’m still very self-aware.”

Yamazaki smiled, acquiescing.

Sato did not say that he knew about Yamazaki's situation. As Yamazaki's former apprentice, after being fired, Yamazaki often talked to him and borrowed a lot of money pretending to be a senior. From the initial confusion to the final

Feeling resentful, including being fired from many publishing houses in Tokyo, Sato was certain that Yamazaki was indeed screwed.

Due to the report of the last bullying incident in Wu Geng, positions in the Wenchun editorial department were frequently transferred for a while. Sato had nothing to do with the news, so he was not involved, but he could see it clearly as a bystander.

Yamazaki thought that Bunharu's senior management had reached some kind of deal with Nogizaka's management, so the news was confirmed to be false. But what kind of deal would make Bunharu willing to smash the sign and publish an apology statement? Can't they just treat it coldly? They will also forcefully throw dirty water on it.

Is it less?

It can make Wen Chun show weakness to the extent of internal adjustments or even introduce an executive editor to show the public. Sato believes that there must be a larger faction involved behind the Wu Geng bullying incident. It is okay to make less money, but in case he is involved in a faction fight.

, a grasshopper like him who has no protection from power and can jump very high will definitely be the first to be crushed to death. But besides, the money earned by secretly filming gossip news is not very righteous in itself, so not being greedy is his code of conduct.

Sato looked at the time and saw that the two of them had been sitting here for less than twenty minutes.

"It's getting late, Yamazaki-san, I'll go back to work first."

Yamazaki nodded, and Sato was about to get up and leave when Yamazaki suddenly asked: "Sato, how is that boy Daigo's executive editor doing?"

Sato was stunned for a moment, "It's good. I was a little busy before, but it has gotten much better in the past few months. Moreover, Kimura-san has a very easy-going personality. If his reporters and editors have dissatisfaction with him, the second best thing is whether it is resolved or not.

Can get a response."

Sato had heard that Yamazaki and Daigo had entered Bunshun at the same time. Both of them had done work such as secretly photographing reporters. They were in the same team at first, but later they heard that they had conflicts because of different ideas. Yamazaki was secretly photographed.

Due to his superb skills and the factual and false reports, his performance quickly rose, while Dawu was always suppressed by him. In fact, Dawu was more popular in the department.

Seeing that Yamazaki had a straight face and didn't speak for a long time, Sato shrugged and walked two or three steps away. Yamazaki behind him said, "Sato, you are a bit like Daigo. During the internship, although you were respectful on the surface, you actually looked down on him from the bottom of your heart.

Me?"

"Yamazaki-san, you are a senior and very capable, but please don't say that."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay," Sato didn't look back and tightened the tie at the collar, "I can't say I look down on you. Everyone has their own approach. But I still remember Kimura-san's first words when he became the executive editor."

"……What did he say?"

"'It's not good to lie.' That's what he said." Then Sato left quickly.

Yamazaki stayed in his seat, staring at the file bag on the table, his face changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "How can a tabloid reporter pretend to be a decent person!"

He drank the coffee in the cup in one breath and was about to stand up when a hand was put on his shoulder and pushed him back to his seat.

The man looked very familiar. Yamazaki searched his memory for a long time before he could find any trace of it. "You were... you met the editor-in-chief at that time -"

"Asano," the man said with a smile, and then pointed to the file bag in Yamazaki's hand.

"Excuse me, can you show it to me? I'm very interested in what's inside."
