Tokyo Agent: Starting with Picking Up a Problem Girl

Chapter 28 Damaging Customer Relationships

"Nakajima, Watanabe Yukino's spending today was quite lavish."

Inside Misaki Tachibana's office, the two watched the surveillance footage with leisurely composure.

The male escorts used every trick in the book: flowers, wine, platters, talents, small gifts...

One guy even ordered her a bottle of champagne, even though it was just the basic kind, it still cost 50,000 yen.

But they still couldn't stay.

If it was initially about giving face to Kato Inu, the nature of the matter has clearly changed subtly now.

This is a battle where professional dignity is at stake!

"...These were all paid for by the male escort himself, right?"

"It doesn't matter who pays."

Misaki Tachibana is now in the boss's chair, maintaining a considerable distance from Hiro Nakajima.

"So, you'd better stay here quietly today and don't go out and cause trouble."

"Your spending on Yukino's table will be given a tip based on the standard for designated companionship, but it will not be counted towards your performance record."

"You understand the reason, right?"

Nakajima Hiroshi opened his mouth.

"……clear."

It's simple. If these male escorts knew that their actions would benefit Nakajima Hiroshi, they would probably stop very quickly.

He now understood why Misaki Tachibana had called him away as soon as he arrived at the store.

This guy even makes money off his employees.

Actually, it does happen occasionally that male prostitutes treat their guests to food and drinks.

For example, the guest's birthday, the date the two meet, or certain solar terms.

To maintain a stable relationship, there must always be give and take.

Strictly speaking, they are also high-income earners, and this level of consumption is generally acceptable to them.

However, a celebration centered around one person like today is truly rare.

Watanabe Yukino was ecstatic.

Of course, the more this was the case, the more panicked Kato became.

What kind of bewitching drug did Nakajima Hiro give Watanabe Yukino to make such a woman so chaste?

More importantly, will he steal my queen?

Not allowed.

Absolutely not!

hateful!

Don't be so arrogant, you're just a newcomer!

Watch me personally take your woman away!

Kato Inu took a step forward, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Oh, finally, even the top male escorts are making their move?

The male escorts, who had just returned defeated, had mixed feelings. They both hoped to see Kato Inu return victorious and wanted to see him fail miserably...

"Oh dear, the top male escort has made his move."

Misaki Tachibana cleared the red wine and poured two glasses: "Guess if your little grumbling wife will continue to hold on."

...What do you mean by my little whiny wife?

Hiroshi Nakajima wanted to refute, but...

Forget it.

You're the boss, you're right.

I never imagined that even after time-traveling, I would have the chance to relive the mindset of a corporate slave.

OK OK.

"I think, after all, he's a top-tier male escort, so he must be quite capable."

Misaki Tachibana was unconvinced.

The top-tier strategies are still different.

Kato Inu knew that since Yukino could reject so many male hosts, it definitely wasn't a matter of appearance or taste.

Although he was arrogant, he still retained a basic level of sobriety.

In terms of appearance, how many people in this line of work aren't handsome?

If we rashly launch an attack, we will most likely suffer a humiliating defeat, just like the other incompetent ones.

Use your brain.

Hmph, today I'll show you the difference between a top performer and a mediocre one!

As for whether it's beneath him to go to such lengths to win over a divorced woman nearing 30, he doesn't care about that anymore.

Yukino Watanabe!

No, Nakajima Hiroshi!

You'd better take this!

To get closer to Yukino, the first thing is to understand your own position.

Simply striking up a conversation is no longer meaningful; the key is mutual attraction. You need to make this woman feel that you understand her.

This is what makes a good start.

Kato straightened his clothes and hid the cufflinks with his name on them to avoid reminding the other person of the fact that he had already been named after another woman.

Just as Nakajima Hiro's efforts for Asuka Hanabikachi were not well-received, being given a name by someone else will also lead to rejection from some customers.

Of course, there is also a considerable number of people who specifically enjoy taking other people's favorite things, so this label is actually a double-edged sword.

But Kato Inu dared not be careless.

What if this woman is the type mentioned earlier? Wouldn't that leave me, like those mediocre people, inexplicably defeated?

He pretended to be passing by and that it was a chance encounter; it was a good start.

As he approached Yukino, Kato deliberately took a few extra steps before stopping and turning back to give Yukino a slightly surprised look, before raising his glass in a toast.

"Yukino, your outfit today is very unique and it really brings out your charm."

"Was this prepared intentionally for someone?"

He chose a topic that the other person would definitely be interested in.

Strictly speaking, Kato's behavior was not flirting, but rather an endorsement from a top male host.

It has a somewhat opportunistic feel to it.

After all, Kato knew perfectly well that Yukino Akira was waiting for Nakajima Hiro.

In a sense, this can be considered as borrowing the other party's strength.

Kato was very uncomfortable, as if he was afraid to face the challenge head-on.

But without a doubt, this is the best strategy.

Nakajima Hiro...

Speaking of which, where did this guy go?

I just received a message that he had been to the store, how come he's gone in the blink of an eye?

Kato felt a little uneasy.

The only good news is that he found a great angle to approach the issue.

Compared to those who treat Yukino as prey, this kind of recognition from someone in a high position is obviously more lethal.

Top-tier male escorts are usually beyond the reach of ordinary women.

Yukino seemed unsure how to respond.

Looking at the overly lavish table, I picked up a glass of juice, raised it slightly as a gesture of response.

Before Nakajima Hiroshi arrived, she did not plan to drink alcohol today.

Yukino was determined to change Nakajima's impression of her this time.

Kato's pupils contracted.

It's a ghost story.

Which woman wouldn't feel incredibly honored to have someone personally intervene?

What do you mean by that?

Can't you even say a few words of appreciation?

Even resorting to juice to appease oneself?

But actually, Yukino was very happy.

The endorsement from a top male escort undoubtedly further solidified the allure of her outfit.

Hehehe, they say there are no ugly women, only lazy women.

If I put in the effort to dress up, I can definitely win over a handsome young man.

Hiroshi Nakajima, where are you? Didn't you go to work today?

Honestly, what kind of clueless guy makes a woman who's dressed up so nicely wait for so long?

If this keeps up, I'm going to have to bring home a whole table of delicious food!

Just by looking into the woman's eyes, Kato knew that this guy's mind wasn't on him at all.

How is that possible!

Hiroshi Nakajima!

Right, first we need to erase the impression Nakajima Hiroshi has on her!

"Someone as patient and devoted as Yukino is definitely someone I can entrust my life to."

"Cheers to this sentiment!"

The two gently clinked their glasses.

There has been progress.

Kato Inu took a sip of red wine and continued.

"Perhaps it's meddling..."

"But I really can't bear to see you holding such precious feelings, only to wait here in vain."

"Who are you waiting for? Should I try to contact them for you?"

Contact?

Kato Inu sneered inwardly.

hum...

If you just ask, I can imply that Nakajima Hiro is with other women.

I'd like to see if you, this inexplicably cheap and worthless piece of trash, can be tolerated!

Inside the office.

Misaki Tachibana, who had been watching the show with amusement, suddenly turned cold upon hearing this communication direction.

Internal strife among male escorts is not a problem; in fact, from some perspectives, she is happy to see it.

However, any behavior that damages customer relationships is a matter of principle that is difficult to tolerate.

Even though Watanabe Yukino is worthless.

But if Kato can do this to Yukino, he can do it to other, more valuable guests.

Previously, he was just arrogant because of his performance, which wasn't a big problem.

As the boss, Misaki Tachibana was tolerant and always turned a blind eye.

But given the current situation...

She glanced at Zhongdao Hong and frowned deeply.

Nakajima Hiroshi shrugged, neither stirring up trouble nor showing any dissatisfaction.

That attitude made it seem like, "Why are you looking at me? The customer is clearly yours."

This guy is perfectly lucid, and quite infuriating.

Misaki Tachibana rolled her eyes at him.

Then, he turned back to the screen with a focused expression and stared intently at the monitor.
