Chapter 398 Let me ask for you

The next day, Saturday, at ten o'clock in the morning, inside the Music Network building.

Sitting in the boss's chair behind his desk, Kawai Shogo rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, feeling inexplicably tired.

In the early years, he was able to cope with the current intensity of work, but in recent years, as he got older, he felt more and more unable to do it, even if he kept a good schedule and exercised every day , and often feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Perhaps, Nobuhiko was right, he really should take a good rest for some time.

But the work here...

Ugh.

With a helpless sigh, Kawai Shogo leaned back on his chair, raised his head, and looked at the white light of the mainless lamp falling from top to bottom, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

If he has been working hard for his students in the first half of his life, then from the time Nobuhiko left the stage, up to now, his life has been occupied by everything on the music network. It seems to be infinitely beautiful, but correspondingly Lots and lots of tedious work, and heavy responsibilities that would drive a young man crazy.

This is in line with what A Che said before, people always long for it before they get it.

This kind of thing is really like drinking water and knowing whether it is warm or cold.

Boom, boom, boom.

Regular knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts. Almost subconsciously, he sat up straight and adjusted his posture and expression.

call.

After taking a deep breath, he looked towards the door and said the two words he said many times every day.

"Please come in."

pat.

With the sound of the door being opened, a female secretary in formal attire led a middle-aged woman in.

"Mr. Kawai, this is Ms. Takizawa, the editor-in-chief of Urban Fashion Magazine."

After nodding towards Kawai Shogo, the female secretary turned sideways, looked at Takizawa Chikako, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of 'please come in'.

"Hello, Ms. Takizawa."

Kawai Shogo stood up from his chair, glanced at Takizawa Chikako, and then nodded to her.

The magazine "Urban Fashion" has been on sale for almost 40 years. It is quite famous both in Tokyo and in the relatively undeveloped countryside.

The most important thing is that "Urban Fashion" magazine and Music Network are long-term partners. Many of the exclusive interviews on Music Network's side, such as text interviews and voice interviews, are all done by "Urban Fashion" magazine.

However, the person who came to the Music Network building before was always a male editor.

Kawai Shogo can only say that he has heard a little bit about the current editor-in-chief, but this is the first time he has actually come into contact with him.

"Hello, Mr. Kawai."

Takizawa Chigako returned the favor politely and came to the desk.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Kawai Shogo pointed to the guest sofa beside him and motioned for her to sit down.

When the two of them sat down, the female secretary standing at the door quite consciously brought out the tea that had been prepared and put it on the coffee table.

Then, there was no need for Kawai Shogo to say more. She quite consciously found a reason to leave the office, leaving space for the two people who were going to discuss cooperation next.

"I know Mr. Kawai is very busy, so I won't tell you anything." Takizawa Chikako raised her eyebrows and looked at Kawai Shogo, who was sitting opposite her, "I came here this time to talk to you. Let’s talk about the interview.”

The article she wrote previously discussing Jay can be said to have been well-received, saving the recently sluggish sales and raising the sales of "Urban Fashion" to a higher level.Because of this, the president of "Urban Fashion" also saw the prospects of this level, and through his connections, he found an opportunity for her to sit down with Kawai Shogo to discuss cooperation.

"Interview?"

Kawai Shogo frowned. He was no stranger to this word, and could even be said to be quite familiar with it.

However, what he couldn't quite understand was that his old friend went to such trouble to call him just for this matter?

Judging from his understanding of her, the other party's purpose should not be so 'simple'.

"Yes, Urban Fashion is planning to do an exclusive interview with 'Jay'."

Takizawa Chigako nodded seriously and expressed her thoughts directly.

"Shouldn't you contact the person involved in this kind of thing?"

Kawai Shogo's brows slightly relaxed, but he had already made up his mind. According to the plan he originally discussed with Kitagawa Che, what he needs to do is to refuse as much as he can about this kind of thing. If it is really difficult to refuse, he will tell him Let him make his own decision.

"..."

Hearing this, the expression on Takizawa Chigako's face suddenly became subtle.

This is not a question of whether she wants to contact the person involved, but that she simply cannot find a way to contact the person involved.

Whether it is Jay's homepage or Jay's updates on the music network, they are all blank.

The singer did not leave any contact information. As for private messages and the like, she sent them, but it was like nothing happened, and she received no response at all.

In desperation, she had no choice but to make this decision.

Jay is a singer on your music network, and as the person in charge of the music network, Shogo Kawaii must be able to contact Jay. It would be strange if he couldn't.

"I can't get in touch."

After hesitating for a moment, Takizawa Chigako finally said this.

"..."

After hearing Takizawa Chikako's frank speech, Kawai Shogo fell silent.

If she had said something in a roundabout way, he might have been able to pretend not to understand, but now, with her being so straightforward, it was hard for him to say anything else.

"Then you may be disappointed." Kawai Shogo considered his words and tactfully stated the situation of 'Jay', "Yes, I can contact Jay, but the problem is that he is not interested in being interviewed. .”

In fact, if possible, he still wanted to give his old friend a favor. Firstly, he did owe the other person a favor, and secondly, with so many years of friendship, he should be able to do such a small favor.

But the problem is precisely here. On one side is an old friend, and on the other side is his own student's precious student. As a middleman, it can only be said that it is quite difficult for him to do.

After all, if it were that kind of audio interview, A Che would definitely not agree to it given his temperament.

"No, Mr. Kawai, you misunderstood me." Chigako Takizawa waved her hand quickly, "This time, our "Urban Fashion" will not do an audio interview, let alone a video segment like traditional media. For video interviews, we will only conduct short text interviews, and we promise that text interviews will not involve Jay’s privacy.”

Before she came, the president had already told her that she didn't need to just lay out the conditions she could offer like in external business negotiations. Anyway, she had already said hello, so she could say whatever she wanted.

"..." After thinking for a moment, Kawai Changgo sighed and compromised, "Okay, I can ask for you."

This was the only solution he could think of that would not offend both parties.
