Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 13
For the next two or three days, Yoshida Miwa didn't show up at the club again, but followed the agent, looking for shiny fragments from the gaps - possible opportunities.

Iwahashi Shinichi continued to live his normal life.

Since the last "piano out-of-tune incident", the waitresses in the store have never asked him to dance again.In this regard, he was also very happy at first. In the end, he didn't dance because he liked to dance with the lady who accompanied the wine, it was just a way of going with the crowd.

But gradually, he began to vaguely feel that the atmosphere around him in the club had quietly changed.Not only did the wine companions stop dancing with him, they also began to show a touch of hostility towards him.Along with the waiter's colleagues, the attitude towards him has become subtle and alienated.

This kind of atmosphere is just right when you can't perceive it. Once you become aware of it, even if it's only a little bit, that kind of intense discomfort can no longer be seen as normal.

Iwahashi Shinichi was a little lost and didn't understand what was going on.After thinking about it, the only possible source is probably the "piano out of tune incident".This was the only remarkable thing he had done in the three months he had passed through.

However, such a trivial matter would develop into this, making it difficult for him to understand.

On this day, he went to work at the club again, but Miwa Yoshida, who hadn't shown up at the club for a few days, also came tonight.

After a face-to-face meeting in the background, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have time to ask her if her rushing for the past few days had any results, Yoshida Miwa spoke first, "Iwahashi-san, are you free after get off work tonight?"

"If you can," she said, "how about another drink?"

She was obviously in a low mood, and Iwahashi Shinichi stared at her face and said bluntly, "This expression seems to have nothing good to say to me."

Yoshida Miwa sighed, "Please, at least you can say something nice to me."

Looking at her like this, I can guess that the efforts of the past few days have not received good results, and I am 100% deflated again.

"Looking at the way you are pretending to be talking, you might miss the last train." Iwahashi Shin was not without worry.

"In that case," Yoshida Miwa said in a self-defeating tone, "let's go to the hotel together."

Iwahashi Shinichi's expression was like being hit with a stick, "Stop playing with me."

Seeing his reaction, Yoshida Miwa finally showed her first smile since tonight, and comforted: "Don't worry." I don't know what he was trying to reassure him.

"Okay then," he agreed.

After work, the two went to the last small bar "Bacchus" to meet again.When Iwahashi Shinichi entered, Yoshida Miwa was one step ahead of him and had already started drinking alone at the bar.

Iwahashi Shinichi sat down beside her and ordered a whiskey soda.Before she could speak, she was robbed again, "Ianqiao-san, I went to the club tonight and learned something about you. Recently, you seem to have become the public enemy of the club."

Mingming had just pretended to be full of words and was ready to spit at him at any time, but in the blink of an eye, he focused on other things first.

The fickleness of women.

"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the weird atmosphere surrounding him these days.

Mingming just now looked like he was going to be a confidant and was ready to listen to her grievances at any time, but in the blink of an eye, he paid attention to his own affairs.

The fickleness of men.

……

Human fickleness.

Yoshida Miwa said "um", "Didn't Kawamoto-san give you a bonus before?"

"Yes." That night, he also said to Yoshida Miwa, "The bonus has just been issued, you can always do it if you have a drink yourself."

"I heard from the people in the accompaniment band tonight. After Kawamoto-san gave you a bonus, he found another reason to deduct Mitsuko's salary. Although I can't say there must be some connection, Mitsuko hates what you hate now. Incredible, the ladies who accompany the wine also feel that it is troublesome to have a relationship with you. The waiters in the store also..."

"You also think I'm the kind of person who would step on others to climb up?" Iwahashi Shinichi understood.

"Bingo, that's it." Yoshida Miwa looked at him, "Anyway, you are now a public enemy in the shop because you heard a problem with the piano's intonation. ... Not a public enemy."

"Ok?"

She blinked. "And I trust you. Plus, the backing band doesn't hate you either."

"It's really boring." Iwahashi Shinichi made her jokes make me laugh and cry, but I was moved by this trust in my heart.After thinking for a while, he said again, "Is it because Chuan Ben-sang is dissatisfied."

If it wasn't for Kawamoto giving him a bonus first, then turning around and deducting Mitsuko's salary, making it look like Mitsuko was unlucky because of him, and intensifying the conflict, it wouldn't have pushed him to the forefront.

I just don't know why Kawamoto is so dissatisfied with him.Is it because he hates the problem of piano intonation at first, but he can't keep it a secret until the end, or is he just hate this kind of talent.

However, is it his fault to have absolute pitch?

Now that the conflict has been intensified, he may not be able to stay at the club anymore.He carefully lived with the flow, but in the end, just because he exposed a little bit different from others, he was met with malicious intent to squeeze him out.

Thinking of this, Iwahashi Shinichi felt awkward, as if he had eaten a fly.

So, he changed the subject, "Let's talk about you, about the past few days."

Yoshida Miwa also cooperated very well. She put aside the topic just now, and said straight to the point as she did when they first met here, "Anyway, you can see from the expression that I was rejected again this time."

"I don't know how many times I've been rejected since I was in Hokkaido and then came to Tokyo. It's like 'this kind of thing is impossible to sell' and 'there is no need to launch a singer with zero sales'. I’ve heard such words before, so I shouldn’t be so angry, but this time I’m especially upset.”

"what happened?"

"First of all, I was displeased with the manager's attitude. After being rejected, he said to me, 'If you can't write a popular song, this kind of creativity is almost as good as not.'"

"It's a bit too much." Iwahashi Shin nodded.

"What's worse is still to come," Yoshida Miwa drank all the wine in the glass, and the attitude of drinking fast wine made Iwahashi Shinichi a little worried that she would throw herself down. just bad.

"The manager pretended to be kind, and as a result, he demeaned me." Yoshida Miwa said, "If only Yoshida-san could be more beautiful, and he could debut as an idol first, and now he is dressed up. In an era when you can sell records when you are beautiful, talent is just an added value for women'...what a mess!"

Yoshida Miwa angrily said, "I feel like a waste to think that I have prepared so seriously for that kind of person."

"Relax," Iwahashi Shinichi could only comfort her with a cookie-cutter rhetoric, "At least see what kind of person he is."

"Yes, so it's over with him, OVER!" Yoshida Miwa announced decisively, "Even if I sing to death in the club, I will no longer just listen to these charlatans."

"The second point is about you, Iwahashi-san." Yoshida Miwa got angry and suddenly became lost, "Thank you for doing so much for me, but I didn't get your results. Due respect. Sorry."

Such a solemn apology made Iwahashi Shinichi feel a little sad.

Her talent cannot be understood by the world, so that she has been insulted like this.At the same time, he remembered himself, because of a small difference, he was inexplicably excluded.

His own loss overlapped with that of Yoshida Miwa.

In his mind, the words Fengjima said to him the night he followed Mimi CLUB to the show suddenly reappeared, "Selling excellence".

In his heart, there was a door that could not be called a door, maybe just a small window, and was suddenly pushed open a crack.

"Yoshida-san," Iwahashi Shin said shockingly, "if you can trust me, how about I be your manager?"
