Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 316
A little girl with short boyish hair and short stature, bowed her head hard to Iwahashi Shinichi.Yanqiao looked over carefully, just in time to see her round hair.

"It's okay." Yanqiao Shinichi replied casually.

It bumped into him because the girl walked too fast and didn't pay attention to the front.However, the corridor was already narrowed by the full flower baskets, and Iwahashi Shinichi was half responsible for stopping here to look at the flower baskets.

So, after replying, he asked again: "Are you all right?"

The girl straightened up, "It doesn't matter." She apologized to him, "I was too reckless just now." She was so small that she could only raise her head if she wanted to talk to Yanqiao Shinichi.

Showing her face, she is a beautiful girl with exquisite and lovely appearance, a pair of aura eyes, and a youthful atmosphere all over her body.For no reason, Iwahashi Shinichi thought of Okada Yukiko who had not been crushed by the pressure of the office when she first debuted.

However, it is different from Yuxizi when she first debuted. Although this girl's eyes are agile, they are a bit erratic, giving people a lonely feeling for no reason.

He could think of Yukiko Okada, the girl who appeared in the backstage of her concert, Shinichi Iwahashi's heart moved, and he thought of a certain name.

Looking at her beautiful girl's face again, she felt a little familiar.

"Are you also here to see Okada-san's concert?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked calmly.

"Yes." After the girl answered, she guessed that the people who could appear in the backstage were not the staff of the concert, but probably people in the industry.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head again, and introduced herself, "I am Noriko Sakai, a junior from Yukiko-san's office, who debuted as an official singer last year."

"Oh." Yanqiao Shen nodded.

After a pause, he replied, "I see."

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Noriko Sakai, facing him introducing herself so formally, Iwahashi Shinichi subconsciously reacted when he heard the name.In an instant, the two images in the mind of this young and lovely girl and the later social news heroine alternated in their minds.

Just like Okada Yukiko was selected as the successor of Matsuda Seiko, should Noriko Sakai be called the successor of Okada Yukiko?
"that……"

The voice of the girl Sakai Noriko, with a slight hesitation, brought the imagination in his mind back to reality, "If there is nothing else, I will be rude and leave."

It was just an episode of a chance encounter, Yanqiao Shen nodded, "Okay."

The social news heroine that I had just thought of in my mind was gone, and there was a pure and lovely beautiful girl in front of me, her back and footsteps were full of vitality, not losing to any popular girl idol.

Before that, I had heard something from Yukiko Okada about Noburo Mizoguchi personally discovering a newcomer named Noriko Sakai, but seeing the real person still made Iwahashi Shinichi a little emotional.

Those who pasted Noriko Sakai's poster on the wall and wrote in their composition that they were going to marry Noriko Sakai, no one would have thought that she would fall into that situation later.

But Shinichi Iwahashi is just the opposite. The more charming the sixteen or seventeen-year-old Noriko Sakai looks, as a person who knows her fate in the future, the more she is moved by her beauty, purity and loveliness.

However, such thoughts in his mind only went astray a little, and he was immediately pulled back by Yanqiao Shinichi.

Thinking about this now, using words like "future fate" to think about her, it's a bit ridiculous.Why look at girls today with the impression of a "future" that hasn't happened yet?
Noriko Sakai is a pure and lovely girl idol, and now she is a newcomer to SUNMUSIC.

Just thinking about it is enough.The "future" that has never happened should not be placed in the "now" that has no knowledge.This is unfair to Noriko Sakai, a girl who is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Putting aside those illusory impressions, and looking at the name Noriko Sakai, she is just a newly popular girl idol.

While thinking about these things, Shinichi Iwahashi glanced unconsciously at the flower baskets in the corridor, and finally saw the bouquet from Akina Nakamori between the flower baskets of Shueisha and Oginome Yoko.

"I wish Yukiko's concert all the best."

Yanqiao Shenyi saw what he wanted to see, and he successfully passed the treasure hunt game, and he was immediately satisfied.The corridor is so narrow, in order to avoid the situation just now, he stopped staying here and went backstage of the concert.

No matter which singer's concert, the backstage is always busy and chaotic.Iwahashi Shinichi passed by the hurrying staff from time to time, and finally came to Okada Yukiko's lounge.

Before reaching the door, he saw Noriko Sakai standing outside the door.

The person who was talking to her was a man in his 40s who looked like a hard-working office worker in a plain suit and square-framed glasses.

The man was talking about these things, Noriko Sakai listened carefully, nodding from time to time, even though she was far away, she could guess that she was answering "yes" or something like that.

It was Noriko Sakai who first noticed that someone was looking at her. She subconsciously glanced at her, and saw that standing there was the young man she bumped into just now.

Even so, she didn't show any surprise and seemed normal.The episode just now seems to have turned the page for her.

Under her influence, the man who was talking to her also looked over.The corridor outside the lounge was so narrow that two people could barely stagger as they walked towards each other. Now that he was discovered, Yanqiao Shenyi walked up and greeted him: "Hello."

This is to greet this man.While exchanging greetings, he handed over his business card, "I'm Iwahashi from GENZO." After speaking, he nodded slightly to Noriko Sakai, who had just met a few minutes ago.

Noriko Sakai also bowed to him, as if meeting him for the first time, the unfamiliarity was just right.

"Oh." The man took the business card and looked at it briefly, "Hello, Iwahashi-san." He also took out his own business card and handed it over, "I am Mizoguchi from SUNMUSIC."

After saying this sentence, he hesitated for a moment, and said one more sentence: "You Xizi has been taken care of by you."

Yukiko Okada had reported to Noburo Mizoguchi in advance that before today's performance, there would be Iwahashi-san coming backstage.Yukiko didn't say who this Yanqiao-san was, only that he was an important friend and she had received a lot of care from him.

What happened at that time, Okada Yukiko did not mention it to Mizoguchi Noburo, so when he heard Okada Yukiko say that, Mizoguchi guessed that this Iwahashi-san might be her friend in college, or even a friend of hers. Maybe a man who likes her.

However, Noburo Mizoguchi did not delve into who this "Iwahashi-san" was.

Anyway, today is her retirement concert, after today, Okada Yukiko is an ordinary person, what kind of life she wants to live is her own choice, therefore, when she said that, Noburo Mizoguchi's attitude was very calm.

Not only was she calm, but she even had a hope that she would be happy.

However, after receiving a business card from Iwahashi Shinichi, he learned that this Iwahashi-san is not an outsider, but the president of a production company called GENZO, which surprised Noburo Mizoguchi.

Yukiko knew such a person before, or was she an important friend?When Shinichi Iwahashi took the business card, Noburo Mizoguchi looked at him calmly.

It looks solid and reliable.This is Noburo Mizoguchi's first impression.However, the name Yanqiao Shinichi seems familiar?Noburo Mizoguchi felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

And when Noburo Mizoguchi looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, Shinichi Iwahashi held his business card, looked at the name on it, and was also assessing his first meeting impression in his heart.

Noburo Mizoguchi is a well-known manager in the industry. Not only did he single-handedly create Okada Yukiko and Sakai Noriko, he was also the manager of Matsuda Seiko. He is the pillar of SUNMUSIC.

In addition, he is still a traditional manager who sticks to the signboard of "orthodox youth idol".

In terms of appearance alone, Noburo Mizoguchi does have that kind of "traditional broker" style.This time Okada Yukiko's retirement concert can be seen everywhere in his handcrafted arrangements.

Okada Yukiko told him that she would leave the retirement concert as her last job, and her idol career ends at the moment the concert ends. This arrangement is the result of Mizoguchi Noburo's efforts.

Since Yukiko Okada's showdown contract ended and she was about to retire, Noburo Mizoguchi was preparing for her final retirement. Even though the focus of work had shifted to Noriko Sakai, he still allocated time to personally serve as Yukiko Okada's retirement concert Producer.

Because of this, Okada Yukiko is grateful to Mizoguchi Noburo, and still feels guilty about ruining his dream.

However, Yanqiao Shinichi read another meaning in his practice.

Noburo Mizoguchi would be so caring, of course, because he felt ashamed of Yukiko Okada.

At the beginning, he personally brought the girl from Nagoya to Tokyo and promised her parents that he would take care of her.The result was a near tragedy.Therefore, this time she is going to retire, Noburo Mizoguchi is determined to go all out for her.

However, it is not only because of guilt in the heart that it will do so.

For a traditional manager like Noburo Mizoguchi, in his opinion, any career must have a beginning and an end, especially for an idol career. It must be beautiful when it debuts, and it must be decent when it retires.

It is precisely because this is a period that represents the end that he hopes to draw a successful conclusion for Yukiko Okada.

Those dreams that could not be realized in Yukiko Okada were let go at the end of this concert.Choosing to make a concert for her personally is also drawing an end to this dream of cultivating the "Goddess of the Sun".

As soon as Yanqiao Shen thought of this meaning, he looked at this manager who insisted on dreaming earnestly even now, and couldn't help feeling a kind of respect for him.

……

"Yanqiao-san!"

Okada Yukiko's energetic voice interrupted the casual conversation outside the lounge.

Okada Yukiko, who had already changed into her first costume for the performance, came out of the waiting room in a glamorous dress.

She was in the lounge, and when she heard Yanqiao Shinichi's voice outside, she couldn't wait to come out to have a look.

"Mizoguchi-san, this is Iwahashi-san." Okada Yukiko introduced him to Mizoguchi-san.

Noburo Mizoguchi, who looked like a diligent office worker, faced Okada Yukiko with a fatherly look, "I was talking to Iwahashi-san just now."

"Yukiko, I wish your concert all the best." Yanqiao Shinichi looked at her and smiled.

"Thank you." Okada Yukiko said.

Noriko Sakai watched the interaction between Okada Yukiko and Iwahashi Shinichi from the side, and found it very strange.Obviously this Yanqiao-san looked about the same age as Youxizi-sang, but when Youxizi-sang looked at him, he felt like treating a close elder.

It's like a brother who is respected and trusted by his sister.

After discovering this, Noriko Sakai couldn't help feeling a little envious of Yukiko Okada.

Noriko Sakai’s father is a cadre of the Chulu Group. As an extreme member, her father is not the kind of person who can make people feel at ease. When she was a child, she was abandoned by her biological mother and abused by her first stepmother. The adopted daughter lives under the fence and lives with her uncle's family.

Like my father, my uncle is an extreme cadre. He behaves similarly to his father, and has nothing to do with the two words of stability and practicality.Whether it was when he was with his uncle or after he returned to his father, the young people who usually go in and out of the family are also the kind of extreme members who make people feel uneasy.

Stability and solidity are what Sakai lacked in Noriko's life.

Noriko Sakai has never met a person like Shinichi Iwahashi who is as down-to-earth as a brother, and no one has ever looked at her and talked like this.

Yukiko-san lives in her hometown in Nagoya, and she has a big and harmonious family. Outside of the family, there are such people who take care of her... Sakai Noriko thinks that Okada Yukiko is really happy, but her eyes are unconsciously fixed on the person who is talking to Okada Yukiko Rock Bridge Shinichi.

She never dared to ask for such things as her family background, which she could not choose and was destined at birth.But now, the reason why I feel envious is probably because Iwahashi Shinichi is not Okada Yukiko's real brother, and it is not something she was destined to have when she was born.

……

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't notice Sakai's gaze on him, and only talked to Okada Yukiko. During this period, Noburo Mizoguchi, who was a manager, also interjected from time to time.

After chatting for a few words, Noburo Mizoguchi took the initiative to say, "I'll take the method to the front."

After Noburo Mizoguchi and Noriko Sakai left, Yukiko Okada asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "Iwahashi-san, why don't you come in and take a look?"

Yanqiao Shenyi looked at his watch, "Forget it...it's getting late, so I won't bother you much."

Take out the prepared gift from the inner pocket of the suit and hand it to her, "By the way, this is for you, it's a gift."

Okada Yukiko took it over, "This is... an employee card?"

"Yeah." Yanqiao Shen nodded, "Didn't I promise you before that you can work with me after you retire? You are always welcome."

"Besides," he smiled, "this is your exclusive employee number. Even if you graduate from university and go to work later, this employee ID will not be revoked."

"Really?" Okada Yukiko smiled when he heard him say that, "Thank you! I like your gift very much."

After saying this sentence, he seemed to have just thought of it, and said to him: "By the way, Yanqiao-san."

"Ok?"

"Akina-san is here today too."
