Chapitre 126: Pig-headed criminal
Takayuki's demands are actually a bit excessive.
This directly imposes a shackle on the filmmakers.
No matter how well you do, if Takayuki is not satisfied, it's useless.
Vice Director Kubo suddenly found himself in a dilemma.
This is a rare opportunity, and he really wants to seize it.
On this point, Takayuki has no intention of making any concessions.
This is even more important than making money.
Reputation is not easy to build, and one shouldn't sacrifice it for trivial gains.
"As for the adaptation rights, we can discuss it later. But if it's about the broadcast rights of already produced anime and TV dramas, I can agree to that directly."
Takayuki knows that his request probably won't be accepted by the other party in the short term. He's not in a hurry. This was unexpected, and they're the ones seeking him out.
"That's fine." Vice Director Kubo nodded slightly.
The dinner lasted about an hour.
During the meal, Vice Director Kubo kept boasting about Tokyo TV station's potential, fearing that this excellent partner might stop cooperating in the future because they didn't see a bright future for Tokyo TV station.
He had to paint a rosy picture for Takayuki, although Vice Director Kubo addressed Takayuki respectfully, deep down, he still looked down on Takayuki a bit, thinking he was still young and maybe offering more incentives could prevent him from joining other factions.
Facing this flattery, Takayuki just smiled and nodded in response, showing no other emotions.
Vice Director Kubo's ability to flatter was far inferior to those in the future who could lure investors just by using PowerPoint presentations, as if they were already the world's top companies.
Takayuki, having experienced the baptism of the internet in the future, wouldn't be fooled.
Overall, the dinner ended on a good note. Towards the end, Vice Director Kubo started becoming a bit tipsy from drinking quite a bit of alcohol, and he began to speak more freely, even revealing some secrets of other TV stations.
However, compared to the scandals exposed on the internet in the past, what he revealed was relatively mild.
Finally, Vice Director Kubo casually hailed a taxi to bid farewell to Takayuki, leaving the car parked there and planning to come back for it the day after tomorrow.
Takayuki also called a taxi to go home. However, as he arrived at his doorstep, he noticed several police cars parked outside, which surprised him. The slight intoxication from earlier was instantly dispelled.
Takayuki quickly got out of the taxi and hurried to his door, where several officers were standing, jotting down notes in their notebooks.
Seeing Takayuki approaching, one officer walked over.
"Hello, sir. Are you...?"
"I live here, I'm the homeowner."
Takayuki answered and then walked into the house without looking back.
"Sir, sir, you can't go in yet. We're still gathering evidence."
Takayuki's heart sank. It didn't seem like a good situation. But what about Sayuri? What happened to her?
Entering the house, Takayuki saw Sayuri surrounded by several officers.
She was unharmed, seemingly uninjured, which relieved Takayuki.
He wouldn't accept any other outcome if something had happened to Sayuri at his home.
"Sayuri!"
Seeing Takayuki, who was being questioned, Sayuri immediately pushed through the officers and ran to him.
"Are you okay? I heard there was a break-in."
Takayuki scrutinized Sayuri, finding that she indeed seemed unharmed. It seemed to be a stroke of luck.
Should the thief have startled Sayuri, and then in his panic, fled? That would be acceptable.
In response to Takayuki's inquiry, Sayuri nodded and said, "Yeah, there was a bad guy who broke into your house just now, but don't worry, I took care of him. Besides a broken door, there's no other damage in the house."
What?
Takayuki was dumbfounded.
Sayuri took care of the intruder?
This was completely different from what Takayuki had imagined.
What's going on?
"Sir, are you the homeowner here?"
Several officers approached and began to question Takayuki seriously, while also sizing him up.
Very young, barely in his twenties, definitely from a wealthy family.
Takayuki nodded, "Yes, I'm the homeowner here. What's the situation? Was the intruder caught?"
The officers exchanged glances and then looked strangely at Sayuri, who was now relaxed beside Takayuki.
One of the officers spoke up, "The intruder has been caught and is in our police car. We're conducting an investigation at the scene of the crime. Please remain calm, sir, we'll be done soon."
As long as Sayuri was okay, Takayuki didn't really care what was lost.
However, Sayuri's statement about defeating the intruder caught his attention.
Could the intruder have been very weak?
The officers continued their investigation for about an hour, then left one by one.
Before leaving, they reminded Sayuri and Takayuki to come to the police station at their convenience to make a statement, then they took the intruder away in their car.
Before they left, Takayuki took a look at the guy locked in the car outside.
Half of his face was swollen, making it hard to recognize him. He had many bruises on his body, looking quite miserable.
This was absurd.
Was he beaten up like this?
By Sayuri?
Suddenly, Takayuki vaguely recalled some rumors he occasionally heard at the company.
It was said that Sayuri was quite formidable. If anyone approached her from behind and touched her, she would reflexively beat them up.
But Takayuki had never witnessed it himself.
He had approached Sayuri from behind several times, and she had never reacted.
So, later, Takayuki just treated it as some joke among employees and didn't take it seriously.
However, now he had seen a guy who was beaten up badly.
Moreover, Sayuri had just admitted to doing it herself, without any denial.
Finally, when all the officers had left, Takayuki carefully checked the door lock at the entrance to ensure there were no issues before locking the door again and returning to the living room.
Sayuri, at this moment, was curled up on the sofa like a little cat, her gaze wandering, seemingly lost in thought.
