Taking a long breath of relief, Nakamura Masahiro responded solemnly. Although academic qualifications are not a necessity in Japanese society, they are often necessary in the workplace.
If you don't join the preparatory committee, Nakamura Masahiro's academic qualifications are indeed not that important. After all, the entertainment industry relies on talent, and academic qualifications cannot be used as a living.
However, the preparatory committee has a certain degree of official nature, which will inevitably be viewed with scrutiny by the public. Masahiro Nakamura does not have the qualifications to offset it.
"Akimoto-san, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."
"etc...."
Hearing that Nakamura Masahiro was about to hang up the phone, Akimoto Yasushi quickly said: "Nakamura-san, I have something else to tell you..."
"What's up?"
His tone was slightly curious. Nakamura Masahiro didn't know what else Akimoto Yasu wanted to say now.
"It's about your assistant..."
Akimoto Yasu paused for a moment and said with some hesitation: "The matter of Hashimoto Nana Misan..."
"Hashimoto Nanami?"
Suddenly hearing Yasushi Akimoto mentioning Hashimoto Nanami, Masahiro Nakamura suddenly became confused: It seems that Yasushi Akimoto and Nana Hashimoto are not related, right?
"Akimoto-san, what's wrong with her?"
"Uh, Nakamura-san..."
Perhaps sensing the importance he attached to Hashimoto Nanami from Masahiro Nakamura's tone, Yasushi Akimoto cleared his voice and his attitude became more hesitant.
"I think Nana Hashimoto meets the selection criteria of Noban Board 46...so, I sent her an invitation to participate in the selection..."
"Do you think Hashimoto Nana is not suitable to be an idol?"
Akimoto Yasushi's words made Nakamura Masahiro relax a lot. He thought there was something wrong. It turned out that Akimoto Yasushi invited Hashimoto Nana to participate in the selection.
"How could it not fit?"
In response to Nakamura Masahiro's doubts, Akimoto Yasushi asked directly: "Nakamura-san, don't you think Hashimoto Nami-san's appearance is very good?"
Nakamura Masahiro was speechless for a moment, although because he was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women with good looks, Nakamura Masahiro didn't think Hashimoto Nana was that beautiful.
But honestly speaking, Hashimoto Nana's appearance is not bad. If placed among ordinary people, she is completely worthy of the term beauty.
It's just that she lacks the blessing of makeup on weekdays and is used to being together for a long time, so she is somewhat ordinary in the eyes of Nakamura Masahiro.
"Akimoto-san, she can neither sing nor dance."
"Nakamura-san, are singing and dancing important?"
Yasushi Akimoto does not agree with Masahiro Nakamura's remarks. The idol group he created relies on developing this label, allowing amateurs to slowly grow into artists step by step.
"Those are all things that can be learned... As long as you are willing to take the time to learn, singing and dancing don't matter."
"Akimoto-san and Hashimoto Nana may not be willing to participate in the selection..."
Recalling Hashimoto Nana's gentle personality, Nakamura Masahiro felt that she had little interest in becoming an idol.
"Nakamura-san and Hashimoto Nanami-san have already signed up."
Nakamura Masahiro's reasons seemed to be nitpicking, which made Yasushi Akimoto feel that Nakamura Masahiro was unwilling to let go of Hashimoto Nana's participation in the selection.
So, after a moment of silence, Akimoto Kang's slightly smiling voice sounded again.
"As long as there are no major problems, I will definitely let her pass the review."
"What? She signed up?"
Nakamura Masahiro was stunned for a few seconds. He did not pay attention to Akimoto Yasushi's next words, but focused on the fact that Hashimoto Nanami had signed up for the selection.
"When did it happen? I wasn't even notified...Nanami Hashimoto didn't tell me either."
Nakamura Masahiro felt an indescribable sense of loss: If Yasushi Akimoto hadn't informed him now, he wouldn't have known that Nana Hashimoto was planning to become an idol.
"Let's do this, Akimoto-san... As for this matter, let me confirm it first..."
Nakamura Masahiro didn't have any intention to continue arguing with Akimoto Yasu at this moment. He said a few words briefly and decisively ended the call.
"Dududu..."
Listening to the busy tone coming from the mobile phone, Qiu Yuanyasu couldn't help but sigh subconsciously.
Sure enough, my guess was correct at all. Nana Hashimoto really didn’t tell Masahiro Nakamura.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Akimoto Yasushi had no clue. Although the result of his guess was verified, he was not happy at all.
It is estimated that Nakamura Masahiro will contact Hashimoto Nana for confirmation soon, and I don’t know if Hashimoto Nana will change his mind because of this?
"Akimoto-san, how are you?"
Looking at Akimoto Yasushi's fat, round face with a frown on his face, Kitagawa Kenji even though he had some guesses, he still asked out of curiosity.
"Have you told Nakamura Masahiro-san about Nana Hashimoto-san?"
"Already told him..."
Akimoto Yasu glanced at Kitagawa Kenji, who had an inquisitive look in his eyes, and replied in a calm tone: "Hashimi Nana has not told Nakamura-san about participating in the selection."
"Then, will Nakamura Masahiro-san agree to Hashimoto Nanami-san's participation in the selection?"
Although Hashimoto Nana has not signed up for the audition, she is Nakamura Masahiro's assistant after all. If she fails to get Nakamura Masahiro's consent, it is possible that she will give up participating in the audition.
After all, as far as Kitagawa Kenji knew, Hashimoto Nanami's assistant position was different from an ordinary job. Without Nakamura Masahiro's nod, it would be difficult to resign.
As for working part-time on both sides at the same time? I can only think about this kind of thing. I don’t know how many assistant jobs Nakamura Masahiro has, but the work arrangements at Noban Board 46 are very diverse.
After passing the review of Noban 46, there will be various practice arrangements, and then there will be shooting for the scheduled debut variety show promotion.
"Nakamura-san can only agree. After all, the person who makes the decision is Hashimoto Nanami-san himself."
Akimoto Yasushi replied to Kitagawa Kenji with confidence. Although there was a possibility of variables, but considering the mature perception of Hashimoto Nanami, he believed that Hashimoto Nanami should be able to convince Nakamura Masahiro.

Similar to Akimoto Yasushi's judgment, after finishing the exchange with the design department, Nakamura Masahiro declined Honda's kind offer to stay and went back to the office early.
"Hashimoto-san is out on the field?"
Not seeing Nana Hashimoto in the office, Masahiro Nakamura felt a little irritated and asked the front desk Kana Kimura.
"It seems that Senior Ojo asked her to handle the image licensing matter..."
Seeing Nakamura Masahiro's agitated state, Kimura Kana cautiously replied: "President, how about you call Assistant Hashimoto..."
"The phone has been unreachable..."
Nakamura Masahiro glared at Kimura Kana angrily. Would he not know to call Hashimoto Nana?
Kana Kimura was instantly frightened. She quickly lowered her head to do something, pretending to be busy, trying to reduce her sense of presence.
"Shoji, where did you arrange for Hashimoto-san to go?"
Returning to the exclusive president's office, Nakamura Masahiro directly dialed Ojo Shoji's number.
"I arranged for her to go to Bandai Namco."
Regarding Masahiro Nakamura's call, Shoji Oshiro couldn't help but feel doubtful. He first answered Masahiro Nakamura, and then asked: "What's wrong? You have something to ask her about?"
"Uh... Shoji, did you know that Hashimoto-san went to participate in the audition for Noban Board 46?"
After hesitating for a moment, Nakamura Masahiro decided to ask Ojo Shoji first: maybe he would know about Hashimoto Nanami's recent movements.
"Hashimoto-san went to participate in the audition for Nobanban 46?"
There was a slightly surprised tone, and Shoji Oshiro obviously didn't know that Hashimoto Nana was not participating in Noban Board 46.
"No, except for work matters, we rarely discuss other things... Besides, she has to go to school, so we don't have much free time to chat."
Nakamura Masahiro nodded in agreement. In addition to being his assistant, Hashimoto Nanami was also a student of Musashino University.
If you want to balance work and study well, you must have a tight schedule in terms of time. Logically speaking, Nana Hashimoto should not have any free time, right?
However, she happened to sign up for Nobanban46's audition event, which made Masahiro Nakamura feel strange.
Was it Yasushi Akimoto’s persuasion to Hashimoto Nana that had the effect? Or did Hashimoto Nana have some ideas in the first place?
"How about I take some time to ask Hashimoto-san?"
Oshiro Shoji took the initiative and suggested: "Let's see what she thinks..."
Hashimoto Nana's assistant position is to take over from Oshiro Shoji. If she suddenly resigns, Oshiro Shoji will be in trouble.
After all, Ojo Shoji had already mentioned his resignation to Nakamura Masahiro, but he continued to stick to his position only because the handover could not be carried out.
Watching Hashimoto Nana slowly mature, she will soon be able to take over all the assistant work. Unexpectedly, she actually signed up to participate in Noban Board 46.
If it's just a hot-headed temporary impulse, the worst possible thing is to withdraw from the selection activity. But if Nana Hashimoto is serious, it will be a troublesome matter.
"No, I'm at the office now... I'll talk to her after Hashimoto-san comes back..."
Nakamura Masahiro can roughly guess some of Oshiro Shoji's thoughts. Rather than let Oshiro Shoji come forward, it would be better for him to talk to Hashimoto Nanami himself.
Although he often puts on a majestic face that keeps strangers away, this is purely for work needs. In private, Nakamura Masahiro's personality is actually quite gentle.
Therefore, the relationship between Hashimoto Nanami, a soft-spoken assistant, and Nakamura Masahiro is actually very close. If he were to come forward, the conversation should go more smoothly.
"What if Hashimoto-san really wants to become an idol?"
After a moment of silence, Ojo Shoji said with some worry: "Nakamura-san, are you really going to let her resign?"
"Shoji, what else?"
Nakamura Masahiro's tone was also full of helplessness. Of course he didn't want his assistant Nana Hashimoto to become an idol. But if the other party really made up his mind, he could only choose to accept it.
"Is it possible that we can still stop Hashimoto-san?"
