Movie Queen Development Plan

Rather than Shion's teasing of him, Nanaya was more concerned about her appearing in this place.

Shouldn't she be busy having just reached an agreement with Dentsu?

You actually have time to come to a small restaurant like this, is that considered a waste of time?

Wrong.

Nanaya narrowed his eyes.

Sakura, myself, Shion...

If there was nothing fishy about this matter, Nanaya would drink the teacup in front of him.

"Why are you here?"

Nanaya probed. He didn't believe that Shion's appearance here was a coincidence.

"I just came to talk to Miss Shimoya about her actor contract."

Shion sat next to Nanaya naturally.

"Then you guys talk slowly."

Nanaya said coldly.

His attitude is not good, or rather, it is a bit bad.

After all, the strained relationship between him and Lin Bao was partly due to Washimine.

Shion said with a resentful tone: "You are so heartless. We have taken a bath together before."

"Puff--"

The tea that Nanaya drank was immediately sprayed out.

"Really?!"

Even Sakura, who was about to enter the kitchen, stopped. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the conversation between Nanaya and Shion.

"Sakura, it's none of your business."

Nanaya waved his hand to send him away. Who knows what Shion will say next.

It would be troublesome if a pure girl like Sakura was led astray by this woman's dirty words.

"Well...senior has bad intentions."

Sakura complained and walked into the kitchen.

"What a great education. Is this the result of your years of training?"

Nanaya said unhappily: "Don't treat her like a monkey."

"Don't be angry. I just think you don't need to peek. If you just ask the lady downstairs, she will definitely be happy to show it to you."

"Snort."

Nanaya snorted contemptuously. Although the scene just now was indeed very exciting, if it was Sakura, Nanaya really didn't think it was anything special.

Not to mention seeing it, the feeling was not unfamiliar to Nanaya.

Of course, this doesn't prevent Nanaya from watching it if he has the chance.

But I definitely won't say this to Shion.

"Did you go to all this trouble just to make dirty jokes with me?"

Shion shrugged: "Who told that someone never took the initiative to look for me, so I can only let the woman he loves do it."

"Don't bring Sakura into this."

Nanaya warned sternly, but Shion just nodded in disbelief.

Nanaya had no better solution for Shion's stubborn attitude.

He put down the teacup and asked slowly: "So, what do you want to tell me?"

"I heard your new project isn't going very well?"

It's more than just bad luck.

Nanaya felt that Shion's choice of words was too euphemistic.

"I think it will die in the womb." Nanaya said with his head down, "It's impossible for Lin Bao to provide me with such a huge amount of funds."

"That big project worth hundreds of millions of dollars?" Shion asked.

Nanaya nodded. With Washimine's ability, it was not difficult to find out such things.

"So, Nanaya, you have never considered me?"

"You still say."

Nanaya knew very well that Washimine's behavior was normal business competition and there was nothing wrong with it, but he still couldn't help but want to vent his anger on Shion.

People are selfish and double-standard dogs.

For Nanaya, who has high hopes for the Fate project, he would consider anyone who blocks his project to be a bad person.

"You could have just kicked Lin Bao out and come to me." Shion said easily, "I'm happy to take over this big project."

"Are you here to entertain me?!"

Nanaya asked while panting heavily, and he spilled the teacup in his excitement.

"Senior!"

Sakura hurried out and screamed when she saw the situation at the bar.

"You're not burned?"

Sakura carefully examined Nanaya's hands, and she seemed to care more about his condition than Nanaya himself.

"No, I just spilled the water."

"This is nothing."

Sakura cleaned the bar quickly, then poured another cup of tea for Nanaya.

"You two, I hope you can have a good chat and not hurt each other's feelings."

When Sakura said this, she stared at Shion, the meaning of which was naturally self-evident.

But Shion was no pushover either, she responded to Sakura with a provocative look.

[Don't cause trouble to your seniors! ]

[She's just an ex-girlfriend, stop showing off. ]

There seemed to be a spark between the two women's eyes.

Only after Sakura disappeared again did Shion express her apologies to Nanaya.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you cared so much about this."

"No, I'm just too allergic."

Perhaps because of Sakura's interruption, Nanaya calmed down at this moment.

"What I said wasn't actually a lie."

Shion said something without thinking.

"Um?"

Nanaya didn't know which previous sentence she was referring to.

"It's about Miss Shimoya's contract." Shion said with a bright smile, "Did you know? Sakura is now working part-time in the izakaya here, and playing supporting roles in various film sets~"

"I don't know."

Nanaya frowned, this was the first time he knew about this.

Shion teased, "Would your big director pay attention to a purple-haired female passerby in a third-rate TV series who doesn't even have a script?"

"Why?"

Nanaya didn't say the question, but Shion still knew what he wanted to ask.

"Because Miss Shimoya wants to rely on her own strength to stand by your side, Nanaya. Maybe she hopes to become a woman worthy of a great director like you."

Shion slid her fingers gently along the edge of the teacup: "What a silly girl! You know this wish is out of reach, but you keep working hard for it. In fact, as long as I take the initiative to contact you..."

"Wrong."

Nanaya slammed his fist on the table, interrupting Shion's words.

"Sakura is not a stupid girl. She just wants to achieve her dream in her own way. The real stupid person is me."

Seeing Nanaya's red eyes, Shion curled the corners of her mouth.

"So seeing your ex-girlfriend moving forward towards her dream, isn't our director touched at all?"

"I..."

Nanaya raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.

Shion patted Nanaya's shoulder and said, "You are hesitating, right? After all, Lin Bao is your benefactor. If you leave Lin Bao like this, you will leave a very bad reputation in the circle."

Nanaya nodded slowly.

In the Japanese workplace, job-hopping is something that has a very bad reputation.

In other countries, if there is no breach of contract, normal job hopping and resignation will not lower a person's reputation.

But it is different in Japan. In the Japanese workplace, there is only layoffs and no job hopping. In Japan, job hopping is considered a bad behavior that affects one's character.

This is why even though Kiritsugu made things difficult for him, Nanaya still tried his best to save the situation in a roundabout way instead of kicking Lin Bao away directly.

Unlike those free directors, Nanaya bears too obvious Lin Bao marks, so if he leaves Lin Bao, he will be criticized by thousands of people.

"Nanaya, you also care about what others think. Haven't you always been very independent?"

Shion's question left Nanaya stuck.

Nanaya held it in for a long time before mumbling, "I just don't want other people in the studio to be implicated because of me."

Unlike himself as a director, Subaru Ikeda, Tsukasa Tamari, Rantaro Shonan and others in the studio are just ordinary film workers.

If they follow him, then Nanaya must be responsible for them.

If they were labeled as villains because of him, Nanaya would never be able to forgive himself.

"Well, that's a good excuse. What if I can help you solve all these problems?"

Nanaya looked at Shion in confusion, he didn't know where the other party got his confidence from.

"Do you have a solution?"

"I'm just talking." Shion winked at Nanaya playfully.

"If you have thought it through, you can contact me. I welcome you very much."

Shion said as she stood up and walked out of the store.

"Hey, you're just leaving like that?"

"We'll talk about it next time."

Shion, who had already reached the door, turned back and waved to Nanaya, "I won't disturb you old couple."

"Hello!"

Shion disappeared with a string of silver bell-like laughter.

"Mo~Senior, please take care of her a little bit."

Sakura came out with a plate, and she seemed to hear what Shion said before she left.

"Who can control her? She is a super rich boss."

Sakura looked surprised: "Hey, aren't you guys dating?"

"That's not true. Who told you that?"

Nanaya quickly denied it.

"I thought... that's it."

The expression on Sakura's face immediately became cheerful, and her ponytail bounced up energetically, which almost made Nanaya think that his ex-girlfriend had some kind of mechanism installed in her head.

"What do you mean, that's how it is..."

"Nothing."

Sakura placed the food on the plate in front of Nanaya with a smile on her face. Anyone could see that she was in a very good mood.

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"Because good things happened, Nanaya~" Sakura had a smile on her face that Nanaya was familiar with.

"You're calling me Nanaya again..."

Nanaya breathed a sigh of relief.

Back then, it took Nanaya several years to get Sakura to change the way she addressed him from "senior" to "Nanaya".

When they met again this time, Sakura changed back to being "senior", which made Nanaya feel a lot more distant.

Unexpectedly, Sakura changed back like this.

This was somewhat unexpected for Nanaya.

"Nanaya, please use it."

Sakura brought over a small wine glass filled with sake.

"Sake, a little..."

For the sake of a man's face, Nanaya didn't feel comfortable saSakura that he was not good at drinking.

Therefore, Nanaya had no choice but to pick up the glass and drink it in one gulp.

Fortunately, Sakura used a small wine glass that could be used to drink in one gulp for Nana, instead of the wine cups used in other izakayas.

Otherwise, after drinking one glass like this, Nanaya estimated that he would probably be drunk.
