Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 108
Applause, and praise.

In the past, after the meeting, the team members would at most give him a polite nod, but this time, after Otsu Shusaku announced the end of the meeting, colleagues who had looked at him coldly with scrutiny surrounded him one after another.

"Congratulations, Rock Bridge!"

"It's really you, Yanqiao-kun!"

"As expected of Iwahashi-kun, even Otsu-san is full of praise for you!"

"Yanqiao, after get off work tonight, let's have a drink together?"

The enthusiasm of the colleagues reached the level where Shinichi Iwahashi was a little overwhelmed.

Regardless of whether they have secretly gossiped about him and Mayumi Watanabe, or had disagreements with him at the meeting, no matter whether they were unhappy or not, it seems that the prejudice in the past will automatically follow the planning of the music festival to this big stage. It disappeared like smoke.

Everyone had mixed feelings, not all congratulations to Iwahashi Shinichi.

He proved his ability with practical actions and did what others failed to do.Thinking of what Shinichi Iwahashi did for the music festival, they couldn't help admitting in their hearts that he was indeed very good.

At the same time, he has the help that others, Wanyumi Watanabe, don't have, and now he even has the public appreciation of Shusaku Otsu, a veteran.

With both ability and relationship in hand, I am afraid that the future will be limitless.

"This is the result of everyone's hard work."

Facing the colleagues who made a 180-degree turn in attitude, Yanqiao Shinichi smiled and socialized with them with a relaxed tone.No self-respect, no arrogance, as if after his colleagues' prejudice against him disappeared, his memory also cleared.

good for everyone.It doesn't matter what you think.

That's not how it works in the workplace.Unless you are about to throw your resignation and leave at this moment, you have to stay a line in life.Because individual heroism doesn't work in an industry like this.

The world behind the scenes is actually an exquisitely constructed machine.The staff all play the role of parts in it, and only by working together can the machine maintain normal operation and all kinds of wonderful plans in front of the stage can be realized.

But having said that, you once hated me, and now you are trying so hard to change your attitude towards me, it's so cute.

Shinichi Iwahashi and his colleagues in the planning committee collectively cosplay the goldfish, talking and laughing as they walked out of the conference room.Back to his first production department, not long after, Secretary Wanyumi Watanabe called again.

Yanqiao Shenyi quickly wrapped himself up, oh no, he let go of his work and went to see her.As soon as he passed, Wanyumi Watanabe congratulated him: "I knew that Iwahashi-san's ability is worth looking forward to."

Others' compliments may have business elements, but Mayumi Watanabe's praise must be 100% sincere.Yanqiao Shinichi accepted it frankly, and said to her: "But it's also thanks to your trust."

"It's said to be 'heroes cherish heroes'." Wanyumi Watanabe smiled lightly, turned around, and walked to the small living room set up in the office.

On the table was a bottle of wine and two wide glasses.

Watanabe Mayumi unscrewed the stopper, poured shallow wine into the two glasses, one in each hand, walked up to Iwahashi Shinichi, and handed him one of the glasses.

Iwahashi Shinichi took the wine glass and cast a questioning look at her.

Wanyumi Watanabe saw him, and blamed him with a smile: "In terms of work, Iwahashi-san and I have many ideas that coincide with each other. I didn't expect that they became dull on this kind of thing."

Hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled.

Mayumi Watanabe toasted, "To celebrate with you."

Yanqiao Shenyi looked at her, and asked knowingly: "However, this is working hours, drinking openly, is it okay?"

"You are now facing the boss's invitation but you are evading it all the time. This is the big problem." Wanyumi Watanabe suddenly realized that he knew it a long time ago but deliberately pretended to be stupid, and he was domineering.

When Yanqiao Shen heard this, he laughed hard.Only then did he raise his glass, "Okay, BOSS."

This cry made Wanyumi Watanabe smile again.

The two clinked glasses lightly and drank the celebratory wine.After drinking a glass, Mayumi Watanabe took the glass back from him, put it back on the table, and said to him, "Just drink this, it doesn't matter."

Yanqiao Shinichi was a little unsatisfied, "However, it's really good wine."

"I heard that Iwahashi-san can hold a lot of alcohol, and even the staff at AMUSE call you 'Guide to Ginza Roppongi walking'." Wanyumi Watanabe threw a sentence out of nowhere, as if retaliating for his stupidity just now.

Yanqiao Shinichi Waterfall sweated, "How can this happen."

"Did I get it wrong?" Watanabe Mayumi smiled.

Yanqiao Shen denied it repeatedly, and pulled out the fat young man Akimoto Yasushi, "...I heard it when I went to play with Mr. Akimoto when I was running for Matsumoto-san. It's just a talk on paper."

It would be fine if he had really played all over Ginza and Roppongi, he would never admit to something he hadn't done.

"So that's the case." Mayumi Watanabe nodded, "It seems that Akimoto-san thinks highly of you."

I don't know if it is important or not, but the messy and boring theories have taught him a lot.Yanqiao Shen thought about it.

……

This evening, Akina Nakamori will travel from Tokyo to Kyoto for a two-day location work.Before leaving, she stood in front of the telephone in the entrance of her house, talking with Okada Yukiko on the phone.

Akina Nakamori, who is at the peak of her career, rarely has a holiday. After she sneaked out to watch Joan Jeter's concert that day, until today, there has never been a gap of more than two hours.

"Take the Shinkansen to Kyoto, and I can just take the opportunity to take a break." Akina Nakamori said to the other end of the phone.

Okada Yukiko was a little worried about her, "You need to pay more attention to your body."

Nakamori Akina's heart was warmed by the simple concern, "No problem, I will pay more attention....Thank you, Yukiko."

Recently, Okada Yukiko's work has been seldom, and her heart is no longer all tied to her career, but she has paid more attention to her studies. For the next year's university exam, she will not let go of the paper at the work site.

Her family used to oppose her because she insisted on being an idol, but it turned around. The initial fierce opposition turned out to be a bad omen.

Fortunately, there was no danger.Now, Yukiko Okada lives with her mother.She also confided to Akina Nakamori that she would leave the entertainment industry after the contract ended.

After hearing this, Nakamori Akina was sincerely happy for Okada Yukiko.Glad she found a new place in her life.

At this time, Okada Yukiko suddenly said: "Just now when we talked about Joan Jeter's concert, Akina-san must also know about the Women's Rock Music Festival."

"Of course, Joan Jeter announced it at the concert venue. ... At that time, everyone was confused."

As soon as Akina Nakamori finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the young man sitting next to her who wanted to give her a high-five to celebrate.When the people in the venue were at a loss, he said "success".

The impression that young man left on Nakamori Akina was really vivid and deep.

Okada Yukiko was on the other end of the phone, as if announcing a big event, and said with a somewhat proud tone: "Akina-san, this music festival is planned by Iwahashi-san."

Okada Yukiko told Nakamori Akina something she didn't understand.

"Is that Iwahashi-san?" Nakamori Akina's heart moved.She still remembered the manager who helped Okada Yukiko when she stood on the edge of the cliff and pulled Okada Yukiko back from the death line.

Nakamori Akina has always been grateful to this agent who has never met before, and thanked him for being able to lend a helping hand to his friend.If that phone call hadn't worked, she couldn't imagine what would have happened afterwards.

Although now, after several medical cosmetic surgeries, the marks on Okada Yukiko's wrist are almost gone.However, when Yukiko Okada mentioned this name, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but think of the hideous wound she had seen on Yukiko Okada's slender and fair wrist.

"Yes." Okada Yukiko didn't know what Akina Nakamori was thinking, and couldn't wait to share with her about Shinichi Iwahashi, "I was on the phone with Iwahashi-san, and he told me."

Such an innocent and pure voice made people feel no trace of gloom, and it also dispelled the image that just popped up in Akina Nakamori's mind.

The current Yukiko Okada has found a new path in life.Then, Akina Nakamori thought that it was Shinichi Iwahashi who saved her from the quagmire of life and left the girl with a hideous wound on her wrist to face life positively.

What kind of person is that?
At this time, Okada Yukiko said again: "Iwahashi-san said that Joan Jeter seemed to be playing a prank and asked him to go to the concert. I didn't expect that she would make such a speech , startled him, but was very happy..."

Iwahashi Shinichi did not tell Okada Yukiko that his next door is Nakamori Akina.He always felt that if he told the story, he would be no different from a gossip.It's just a chance encounter, it's not worth talking about.

However, upon hearing Okada Yukiko's words, Nakamori Akina's mind suddenly appeared the figure of the young man who wanted to give her a high-five to celebrate, and his proud and innocent eyes.

"Who would be surprised if they heard it suddenly?" Akina Nakamori said.

She didn't tell Yukiko Okada about that young man.

……

Not only Akina Nakamori was curious about Shinichi Iwahashi, but after the announcement of the music festival's plan, more people paid attention to the name.

With Watanabe Productions officially announcing the festival's plans, the question "What is a Girls' Rock Festival?" has been answered.

The public, who were relieved of their doubts, turned their attention to this unprecedented music festival.Whether it's curiosity, anticipation, or some other idea, the publicity is already in place.

However, the industry, which was caught off guard by Watanabe's big move, raised another problem.

That is: who is Yanqiao Shinichi?

A restaurant with a regular taste suddenly becomes better. Diners will think that the food in the restaurant is delicious, but the restaurant of the competitor will be concerned about whether the restaurant has changed the chef.

In this project, outsiders focus on the music festival, while insiders pay attention to the people behind the festival.

The entertainment market is huge, but the entertainment industry is not.In other words, although the entertainment circle is large, because of the characteristics of this "circle", there is nowhere to hide secrets among insiders, and at the same time, there are no questions that cannot be answered.

Conversely, it is also due to the characteristics of the "circle". When people in the circle want to let outsiders know something, they open the circle. The wind can't get through.

Because of this, with a little breath, the name "Shinichi Iwahashi", which has never been heard before, appeared in the ears of the executives of various offices and record companies who were paying attention to Watanabe's big move this time.

Who is this Yanqiao Shinichi?

His resume is too simple, he is just 20 years old, and he just joined Watanabe Productions this year.However, this simple and excessive resume, to some extent, at the same time is so strong that it is eye-catching.

Watanabe Productions, which has been silent for a long time, has done two things that have caused a sensation in the industry in this year.

The first thing is to plan the transformation of the unpopular idol Matsumoto Akiko, which will also affect the atmosphere of the entire idol world. Now I don't know how many small idols are imitating Matsumoto Akiko's road to fame.

The second is planning a Japan-centered, international-scale women's rock music festival, and even Joan Jeter, the world-recognized rock queen, publicly expressed his intention to participate.

Entering the 80s, Watanabe Productions, which had already turned conservative, gradually withdrew from the first-line hegemony, suddenly changed its nature, and did these two major events in one go, and behind these two major events, the name Shinichi Iwahashi is related.

The young member planned the transformation of Matsumoto Akiko when she first joined the club, and then proposed the plan of the Women's Rock Music Festival, and personally came to persuade Joan Jeter to win the strongest trump card to successfully hold the music festival.

It is not uncommon to have an idea, and it is different if you have an idea and can put it into action and achieve success.

For a while, the eyes of the industry gathered on this young member named Yanqiao Shinichi, wondering if he would come up with any eye-catching plans next.

But in the midst of speculation and concern about Shinichi Iwahashi, there was also a group of eyes looking at the woman hidden behind Shinichi Iwahashi—Manyumi Watanabe, the second daughter of the late President Shinichi Watanabe.

Watanabe Wanyumi has been behind the scenes, quite mysterious, and the outside world knows very little about her. The most distinctive identity is "Watanabe Jin's second daughter".But this time, it is said that she firmly supported Iwahashi Shinichi's plan.

Could it be that this second lady who is hiding behind the scenes is about to come on stage?

Could it be that Watanabe Productions, which has gone downhill, is going to take advantage of this new trend to carry out reforms?

Could it be that there is going to be a change of power within Watanabe Productions, which has changed the course of action?

Could it be...

While the public is talking about the music festival, the industry is secretly speculating about Watanabe Productions' two consecutive abnormal actions.
