Flying over the bubble era

256 Chapter 256. It's a hit

(two chapters in one)
"Happy New Year." Yanqiao Shinichi replied.

However, I was surprised by Akina Nakamori's sudden call in my heart, just like when I was blocked by her in the recording studio that day, I didn't expect it at all.

In a relationship that begins with a random encounter, if one party suddenly takes the initiative, it is like a boat drifting on calm water, being pushed forward by a momentary turbulence.

"By the way," Yanqiao Shen said to her, "Congratulations on yesterday's grand prize, Akina-san."

"Mm,...hmm." Nakamori Akina seemed to respond before saying, "Thank you, Iwahashi-san."

Yanqiao Shinichi felt that she had something to say next, so he waited with the receiver.On the opposite side, Akina Nakamori subconsciously let out a sigh of relief after saying "thank you", and then realized that the relief made her not know what to say for a while.

There was a brief silence on the phone.

There are thousands of ways of getting along with each other.

Some people can't speak freely when they are face to face, but they can communicate well on the phone.However, Nakamori Akina is the complete opposite kind of person who is not good at making calls.

Is it because I didn't see his face?This was the first time Akina Nakamori called him.

An unfavored daughter who was born in a big family, such a life experience allowed Nakamori Akina to subconsciously learn to observe words and emotions during the process of growing up. When participating in a program, she would consider the program effect and subconsciously activate the atmosphere.

When dealing with people, you will also consider other people's feelings.

I can't see the expression through the phone line, because I can't see the reaction of others, so Nakamori Akina feels nervous.

Yanqiao Shenyi is very calm, not the kind of person who would show his emotions too much, but this kind of calm made her feel a kind of strong tolerance. He let go of his guard.

But now I can't see his face.

Nakamori Akina was not so much suspicious of him as it was because of her own timidity, which made her fall into silence.

"Just now," Shinichi Iwahashi broke the silence, "It was Yukiko who called me."

"Really?" Akina Nakamori continued his words.

"Well, she also returned to Nagoya this year for the New Year, and she was very happy that you won the three-in-a-row championship, as if it was her own business... But, you also know about these things, right?"

Nakamori Akina followed his words and said, "Last night, she called me. After the red and white ended, she called back and followed up immediately." Speaking of this, her tone raised slightly, like The mood was much higher, "Yukiko was about to go out to visit the New Year's shrine, and just put on her kimono and was about to go out, when I called."

Talking about a mutual and trustworthy friend, Akina Nakamori's timidity was relieved, and he became much more relaxed.She suddenly realized that although she couldn't guess what Yanqiao Shinichi was thinking, he seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking.

She thanked Iwahashi Shinichi for his thoughtfulness after he guessed her thoughts.

"The timing is precise enough." Yanqiao Shen smiled.

"Youxizi's hometown is very lively during the New Year. It seems that the whole family will stay up all night until the next morning after eating rice cakes and drinking Tusu wine." Akina Nakamori also smiled on the phone, "...the relationship is very good family?"

The Nakamori family in Tokyo does not lack such excitement, but it lacks such a warm family.

Last night, after the red and white match, she returned home and was congratulated by the whole family—except for her married sister—who gave her an unprecedented three-in-a-row award.

The family's congratulations are like a kind of recognition, but this kind of warmth can only last for a while.The father and brother were unwilling to make trouble on this day, but the younger sister, Akiho Nakamori, seemed to be holding back her anger and deliberately found fault.

"But sister—" Nakamori Mingho said to her as if vomiting poison, "Kondo-san sitting under the stage has a stinky expression. Is there something wrong with you two?"

"Mingsui! Don't talk nonsense!" The mother of the two sisters played the role of fire extinguisher again.

The camera caught Kondo Masahiko's expression like a broadcast accident, and Akina Nakamori felt uncomfortable, but this time, what made her even more sad was obviously her sister's unscrupulous cynicism.

Akina Nakamori only stayed at home until the next morning before returning to her apartment in Tokyo.

……

"Yeah, just thinking about it, I also want to get her child's smile. During the Chinese New Year, there is such a child in the family, and the atmosphere is different."

Yanqiao Shinichi knew that her house was a mess, but felt that it would make her feel more uncomfortable to change the topic roughly by treating it as an untouchable scar, so he simply followed her words.

"Yes." Hearing what he said, Nakamori Akina felt relieved when she thought of Okada Yukiko's smile.

The timidity in my heart and the uneasiness of calling for the first time dissipated under his gentle guidance, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Although Akina Nakamori could not speak freely as she did face to face, her thoughts became much smoother.

The two started chatting casually.

When the Grand Prize happened, Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina fell into a cold war, but even so, Nakamori Akina unexpectedly did not regret attending the Grand Prize.

Not only that, Masahiko Kondo's attitude of treating Daesang as a plaything hurt her.The more I thought that he might still have a certain character, the more I was disappointed that he didn't have it.

For this grand prize, what Shinichi Iwahashi did behind the scenes, and how he contributed to it, Akina Mori still doesn't know about these things.However, if I hadn't taken the initiative to take that step to meet him when I was confused, and with his encouragement, I had chosen to believe in the firm and stand with the firm, then I would not be where I am today.

If that's the case, this grand prize is just like Kondo Masahiko said, if he can get the seven people in the jury, he will be in his pocket.

Masahiko Kondo's attitude of treating Daesang as a plaything brought her closer to the firm.

When she attended the Grand Award, she was in the venue, and when she heard the audience shouting her name in unison before the award was presented, Akina Nakamori felt extremely grateful that she did not hand over the award to others.

If she dislikes Masahiko Kondo's attitude towards Daesang, she should not play with Daesang herself.

……

This is an emotional thought after just winning a grand prize.

Now, when the dust of the big award is settled, and I think back to the past, I realize that if I take that wrong step and choose to trust Director Xiaosugi, things will be very different.

Not only will it drift away from the firm, but at the same time, it will also live up to the dreams of myself and the audience.

I was able to get this award because I said "no" to Masahiko Kondo.

Even if he didn't scruple his thoughts and ignored the wishes of this brat who was rolling around asking for candy, things didn't get any worse.

It may be with hindsight to say these things now, but when I was still hesitating, I realized that the life-long event mentioned by Masahiko Kondo was just a blank check, and it was a pretense for the bear child to "buy me candy and I will be obedient" Nakamori Akina watched him tell a blunt lie that he couldn't even find an excuse for.

If she hadn't said "no" to him, then, having lost her dreams of the grand prize and the audience, she could only bow her head and accept the result, holding the idea that the bear child would be obedient one day.

Because, if it really comes to that point, and she is divorced from the firm and disappoints the audience, she can only hope that the brat will change her mind.

However, she took this step, won this award, and realized her dream. The courage she gained during this process made her feel the joy of acting according to her own ideas and being herself.

Thinking of this incident, Nakamori Akina subtly gained a kind of confidence and courage in the process.Then I thought that the reason why things developed like this seems to have started after I went to see Iwahashi Shinichi.

Thanks to him.

While chatting relaxedly, Nakamori Akina's brain, which had been sealed up because of timidity, started to function again, and the outlines of these things that were blurred in her mind gradually became clearer.

The reason why I called Iwahashi Shinichi on the first day of the new year was to express my gratitude to him.

Not only thanks for the suggestion of letting her stand with the firm, but also thanks for the chain reactions that follow after following this suggestion.

Before hanging up the phone, Nakamori Akina said to him, "See you next time, Iwahashi-san."

Yanqiao Shinichi readily accepted the signal, "Okay, see you next time."

"And then..." Akina Nakamori spoke again.

"Thank you," she said.

Yanqiao Shenyi was taken aback, smiled, and was not polite to her, "Then, I'll hang up the phone."

On the other end of the phone, Nakamori Akina held the handset that had been hung up on the other side, feeling relieved.

She thanked him, Yanqiao Shinichi didn't say anything, it was precisely the meaning of accepting this gratitude.Nakamori Akina realized his thoughtfulness, and sincerely felt a feeling of being tenderly cared for.

……

One night was peaceful, and the beeping machine that had been ringing endlessly during the day finally stopped.During the New Year's holiday, the people who will call you are basically familiar friends.

I visited the small town of Shizuoka yesterday, and spent the second day of vacation at home as an otaku.

In the afternoon, a guest from Masaki Iwahashi came to visit, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who had nothing to do with himself, was in his room upstairs, reading the booklet of "Chibi Maruko-chan" bought by his mother with relish.

While watching, I was still thinking in my heart, a child like Maruko, for example, is like someone else's pet dog.

Occasionally meet her at other people's homes, and watch her play tricks and show off her cuteness, even if she does something that makes people headache, she will find it cute.However, if you switch to raising it yourself, you may ask online how to stew dog meat.

Masaki Iwahashi's guests stayed until nine o'clock in the evening before leaving. Before going to bed, Mayumi Watanabe called him again.

I have read this number eight times a day for a year, and I have long been familiar with it.

Turning the phone back, when it was connected, after a few pleasantries, Watanabe Wanyumi first said: "I've been busy around the New Year, and today I'm back in Sendai."

"Sendai?"

"Mother's hometown." Watanabe Wanyumi explained.

"Oh." Yanqiao Shenyi didn't ask further, and said to her as if deliberately showing off: "My New Year's holiday is just the opposite. I'm so idle that I'm not used to it."

Wanyumi Watanabe listened to his words that he was cheap and good-looking, and said with a smile: "That's great, I want to come to this kind of vacation too."

Yanqiao Shinichi also smiled: "Come on."

The two smiled heartily at both ends of the phone, chatting relaxedly and comfortably.

Answering such a phone call before going to bed makes people feel at ease, but the aftereffect is that the chat is too speculative, which actually makes the sleepiness go away.After hanging up the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi struggled to fall asleep again.

Because of this, I fell asleep again the next day and didn't get up until almost noon.

Fortunately, Yanqiao Chaozi and her boyfriend came here in the afternoon, so it would not be the case that the brother-in-law came to the house for the first time and the brother-in-law slept until the sun was up.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Iwahashi Asako returned home with her boyfriend.

The two came here by car from Tokyo. Yesterday, Iwahashi Asako followed her boyfriend back to his hometown in Utsunomiya City to visit, and today she came to Shizuoka again. It seems that she intends to settle the marriage as soon as possible.

Iwahashi Asako looked pretty much the same as when I saw her when I went to the office last time, but she looked a little prettier in fashion instead of business attire for the New Year.

The future brother-in-law is called Narita Hiroyuki. He is slightly shorter than Iwahashi Shinichi. He wears a well-tailored new suit. He looks plain, but he looks energetic and capable. When sitting next to Iwahashi Asako, the two have similar auras. The atmosphere is harmonious.

However, there is also a subtle respect for each other separated by a layer of veil.

Hiroyuki Narita’s hometown runs a local machinery parts factory. There are two brothers in his family. He is the eldest son, but he doesn’t like the life of being a factory owner in Utsunomiya. Now the family business is inherited by his brother who is four years younger.

This kind of family has good financial conditions, but it has nothing to do with the background. Naturally, it has nothing to do with the word "enjoy Qingfu" when you join Dentsu. You are an elite Dentsu MAN who has struggled from the grassroots to the present.

They have the same educational background, compatible personalities, good family conditions but not a high-ranking family, giving up inheriting the family business and staying in Tokyo, and avoiding the trouble of dealing with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The first impression is not annoying.Although Yanqiao Masaki had some opinions on Dentsu MAN before, the prejudice in his heart was dispelled by the fact that he brought back such a Dentsu MAN.

Sitting in the reception room and chatting for a while, Narita Hiroyuki's speech and manners are all good.

In this case, Shinichi Iwahashi will obviously not be the protagonist, so he can freely be his observer.Such an observation allowed him to find the reason for the respect between the two of them when they first met.

I'm afraid that the two of them will be able to get married when they meet again after many years of graduation. It is better to say that they have made some achievements in their careers, and their lives should enter another track—— It was when I was thinking about life-long events, I happened to meet a person who was suitable in all aspects, so I hit it off.
