After a series of processes such as persuasion, pulling, forcing, and compromise, the matter of Mai Shiraishi's graduation was finally settled.

Of course, as a core figure in a top idol group, her graduation will definitely not be as simple as an ordinary person quits, and she will always have to make a big fuss.

You have to go through any tailor-made graduation singles, solo songs, graduation photos and even graduation concerts, as well as magazine interviews and TV programs that cannot be seen.

Always, since she can't be kept, it's better to take this opportunity to squeeze out her commercial value completely.

Mai Shiraishi cooperated with her. As long as she graduated smoothly, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing to put a perfect end to her idol career in this way.

But speaking of this, after I refused to become a contracted artist of Nogizaka Company as an actor after graduation, the only connection with Nogizaka was left is these graduation activities, right?

Then, it seems that it's time to embark on the next journey.

With this idea, Shiraishi Mai found a three-story building near Kitasando Station on a cold morning in early spring.

Because it was too early, there was a little white frost embedded in the gaps in the asphalt pavement.

His eyes moved up from the piece of paper with the address written in his hand, and Mai Shiraishi looked at the white building in front of him.

On the first floor is a cafe. It was breakfast time, and the clerk wearing a white shirt went back and went back in the transparent glass.

The two-story windows were covered with big words "Zaise Study Room" and were quietly and there was no movement.

On the third floor, the signboard of "Qimizu Art Office" is hung. As for the design-filled pattern on it, it is definitely not Shimizu Toru, it can only be written by the young lady Shimizu... No, the name on her household registration should have been changed to Shimizu Nanami...

Bite her lips and pressed down the complex emotions that suddenly surged, Mai Shiraishi was about to exhale the white mist, secretly cheering herself up, ready to step onto the steps leading to the third floor.

However, just before she took a step, someone came down on the stairs.

When the man came to the flat ground, his eyes met. Although most of his face was covered by masks, the two of them recognized each other almost at the same time.

"Miss Shiraishi."

"Miss Yoshioka."

Because they all have the status of an actor, Mai Shiraishi has also met Yoshioka Riho several times on TV and auditions, which can be considered a barely known each other.

After greeting each other with politeness, Mai Shiraishi noticed that the corner of her mouth hidden under the mask on the other side was pulled, and the corner of her eyes was also turned to the side.

"Sure enough, you still feel a little unhappy when you call it "Miss Yoshioka."

"Um?"

Subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and Mai Shiraishi also faced tit-for-tat, "I won't hide it from Miss Yoshioka, so do I."

"oh?"

Yoshioka Riho dragged his voice, and the surprise in his eyes flew away, and he seemed to be intriguing.

"That's interesting. Speaking of which, Miss Shiraishi, are you here for the interview today? Chejun is already on it, just go up directly."

As if reminding her affectionately, she suddenly changed her tone, "By the way, Miss Shiraishi, I wish you a successful interview~ Don't look at me like this, I... But I hope you can "success"."

After saying that, he left without caring about Mai Shiraishi's doubts.

Seeing her getting into a taxi on the corner of the street, Mai Shiraishi shook her head, calmed her mood, and stepped upstairs.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but received no response.

Trying to turn the handle, Mai Shiraishi accidentally found that the door was not locked. After opening a slit, she noticed a girl with big eyes sitting at the front desk, flipping on a fashion magazine with her left hand, holding an apple halfway through her right hand, and her chin shaking with the rhythm of the headphones on her head.

No wonder I didn't hear a knock on the door.

Seeing this shape, Mai Shiraishi opened the door a few more minutes and knocked it again.

"ah!"

After a sudden shock, the apple in the girl's hand fell to the ground. But before she could deal with this, she quickly took off her headphones and stood up to greet her.

"That... are you Miss Shiraishi who had an appointment today?"

"Yes."

Standing in the room, Mai Shiraishi nodded and looked at the girl with bright eyes in front of her and dimples on the corner of her mouth when she spoke.

To be honest, there are only a few contracted artists from Shimizu Art Energist firm, and they can count them with one hand. I have heard of them, why...

He frowned unconsciously, but the girl on the other side mistakenly thought that she was dissatisfied with her previous misogynistic behavior, so he hurriedly explained.

"Hello, Senior Shiraishi!"

The girl suddenly bowed, but at the same time changed her name, "I am Miying Imada, that... I just signed the contract. Because it was a holiday, Kuaisuo asked me to come here to take a performance class. At other times, I helped me do some chores, which was considered to be a job... That, I just saw that it wasn't the time you agreed on, so I was a little sorry!"

This action made Mai Shiraishi panic. She was not good at dealing with other people's kindness and guilt.

"Imada, right? It doesn't matter. It's because I came too early, it's not your fault..."

One was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the seniors in the art world, while the other was because he didn't know how to deal with it. After a while, the two of them resumed normal communication.

"President Kiyomizu and Agent Uei are both inside. Senior Shiraishi, just go in."

"OK."

Leading the way to the door, Misakura Imada lowered her head and said softly: "That... can you please...don't mention what happened just now?"

Noting her shame and embarrassment, Mai Shiraishi showed a comforting smile and nodded directly to agree.

After all, we also need to have a good relationship with our future colleagues.

Thinking of this, she walked into the office.

There are five or six sets of tables and chairs on the left, two sofas on the right, and a circle of cabinets on the outside. This firm, which is well-known in the industry, looks simple.

In addition to some private reasons that are not humane, Shiraishi Mai chose to come here, to a certain extent, because several artists under this firm, such as Yoshioka Riho and Komatsu Nana, can actually develop well, so that while attracting attention, gradually there is a saying of "Qimizu faction" in the actor circle.

For her who wants to develop on the road of an actor, if she can join here, it can be called a public-private and private situation.

-----

Sitting in the so-called "president" position, Shimizu Toru was also considering the influence of Mai Shiraishi joining. Although this firm was established for Nian Reina and was somewhat casual at that time, but to this point, as the president, he should have been serious.

As he was thinking, he heard movements coming from the door. Looking up, Mai Shiraishi stood there, waving her hand gently, from her curved eyebrows to her raised lips, her whole body seemed to emit light, illuminating this somewhat dark morning.

"Sister Cai," Kiyomizu pushed Ai Uei who was dozing off on the table next to him, "The person is here."

"Hmm? Oh..."

Moved to the sofa beside each other, and both parties took their seats separately, and the courtesy stage was eliminated because they knew each other.

"Miss Shiraishi."

Of course, you should use the official name when talking about important matters.

Shimizu Tetsu looked at Mai Shiraishi's resume in her hand and said, "You chose to join our firm after graduation because you want to become a real actor, right?"

"Yes."

Mai Shiraishi's legs were closed together and her waist was straight. She had developed her impeccable demeanor for several years as an idol.

Seeing this, Shimizu Tetsu waved his hand, "Don't be too serious. There is no formal interview at all, so it's better to have a casual chat. It's better to relax."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little relaxed, he continued: "I am bluntly speaking, Miss Shiraishi, according to the situation above, you have been working as idols and models in the past few years. As for performance, although you have played many roles, you have received them all by your idol identity, and your specific performance is not outstanding..."

Mai Shiraishi bit her lip, her expression a little dim, "That's it."

For Nogizaka Operator, letting his idols appear in films and TV dramas is just a means to expand their influence. How could it really leave a lot of time for them to polish their acting skills? In fact, being able to always play roles is the result of Mai Shiraishi's own efforts.

"But it's understandable," Shimizu Tetsu changed his mind when he noticed the air was a little heavy, "and from what I heard, Miss Shiraishi, you are always one of the most serious people in the crew, and this attitude is something that everyone can see."

"So, considering the long-term development, although you may not have an advantage in age compared to other new actors, Ms. Shiraishi may have no advantage in age, but we think that just by being dedicated, there is room for development. Therefore, if Ms. Shiraishi joins our firm, our suggestion is to take on some roles that are not many but can be outstanding in practice, and at the same time strengthen acting practice and wait for a suitable opportunity."

"As for treatment, it is generally a basic salary system with a 50% share. Of course, the subsequent income brought by the idol job before will belong to you."

"What does Miss Shiraishi think?"

In fact, when he started to talk about these conditions, Mai Shiraishi had already breathed a sigh of relief, and at the end he nodded without hesitation.

“Everything is OK, absolutely no problem.”

"Since that's the case, then Miss Shiraishi is welcome to join in advance."

Looking at the hands that Shimizu Tetsuki opposite, Mai Shiraishi also stood up and stretched out her right hand. While shaking hands and bowing, she inadvertently glanced at the ring on his left hand.

Although I entered the venue a little late, there is still a lot of time, right?

Thinking of this, she stood up and showed her brightest smile.

"I'll ask the screenwriter Qingshui for advice in the future~"
