Tokyo's most affectionate

Having said that, after a while, Igarashi Runa finally adjusted the volume, turned on the speaker, put the phone on the table, and answered the call.

"Hello, I'm Miya Hamada from Phantom Star Agency. I'd like to talk to Mr. Lingshi about business cooperation."

As the call was connected, a mature, magnetic and polite female voice sounded.

"Ms. Hamada?"

Hearing this voice, Igarashi Runa's expression was one of secret joy. She waited until she finished speaking before speaking.

"Ms. Igarashi...?"

With just one sentence, Mia Hamada on the other side of the phone instantly recognized her voice and was extremely surprised.

"Long time no see. It doesn't seem that long when you think about it. Ten days?"

Igarashi Runa raised her right hand and looked at her manicure, looking very relaxed and contented.

This is such a great encounter, it makes me feel refreshed.

"Beep beep."

As soon as the words came out, the call ended.

"Why did you hang up? I wanted to chat with her more."

Seeing this scene, Igarashi Runa, who just wanted to take revenge, suddenly became anxious.

"She probably doesn't dare to face you."

"This is not a good psychological quality."

Igarashi Runa was speechless. Although she didn't want to cooperate with Huanxing, it was not impossible if Huanxing gave her super high treatment.

"Isn't she on the board of directors? Why would they send her here to discuss business cooperation?"

Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't this be someone else's job?

"Because you have demonstrated superb piano skills and are respected as a piano master, they asked her, a retired singer who is well-known in the industry, has a reputation, status, power, and understands music, to come and talk to you. Just like the person who wanted to buy the piano score before, Mai Ezaki, she is also a person of character. Doing this can better show your sincerity."

Igarashi Runa was not surprised by this, but thought it was very normal.

Maybe Lingshi is not yet famous to an exaggerated degree, but the piano skills he showed in the video and the Steinway grand piano he used to play the piano all demonstrate his greatness.

"I see."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Everyone has an identity, so you can know who the other person is right from the start and skip some unnecessary steps.

Moreover, the other party is well-known and comes to talk to you in person, which gives you enough face.

Chapter 158: The Bottom Hottie

At Phantom Star Office, Mia Hamada has not yet left work and is still staying in her personal office at the company.

Sitting at her desk, she subconsciously hung up the phone, then quickly came to her senses. However, after hesitating for a few seconds, she did not call again.

"How is this possible? Is it really Kurosawa Hikaru at midnight? Otherwise, why would Igarashi answer the phone?"

Miya Hamada's expression looked a little ugly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"No, that's absolutely impossible. This Zero Hour's level is far higher than Kurosawa Hikaru's, and he has even broken away from the constraints of fingering... He should be Kurosawa Hikaru's piano teacher, and he was invited out."

But the next moment, she denied this possibility.

It's not impossible, but she doesn't want to accept such a bad outcome.

If Zero Hour is really Kurosawa Hikaru, that would be terrifying.

You know, as soon as this Zero Hour came out, just the first piano performance video showed unparalleled piano skills and overwhelming expressiveness.

Gentleman's hat, 0 mask, tuxedo, white shirt, black and white contrasting colors, his image seems to be born for the piano.

His "Croatian Rhapsody", which was composed for the war, has an extremely terrifying appeal to laymen who rarely listen to piano music.

The name Zero Hour became famous in the piano world overnight because the idea of ​​this piano piece was so good.

What’s even more frightening is that Zero Hour’s self-introduction was in Japanese. Nowadays, there are even middle school remarks like “Zero Hour is Japan’s number one pianist!” and “At this moment, the piano will start from zero!” on the Internet.

To be honest, just one piano piece is not enough for Zero Hour to reach the top of the piano world in Japan.

But the emergence of such remarks means that he has begun to have fanatical fans... and most of these people are young people full of vitality and potential.

Such results undoubtedly prove one thing: the feasibility of masked artists.

As long as you do the masked image well enough, even though most of the audience want to know what you look like... it is precisely because your true identity is unknown, it is foggy and mysterious, and it becomes a hot topic, sparking controversy and curiosity.

"Zero Time definitely cannot be Kurosawa Hikaru...it cannot be Kurosawa Hikaru either."

The more she thought about Zero Time's potential and abilities, the stronger the resistance Mia Hamada felt.

If this is true, she, who once rejected Kurosawa Hikaru's job, would inevitably be subjected to sarcasm and criticism in the board of directors, or even be used as a negative example and nailed to the firm's pillar of shame.

By then, all the prestige she had accumulated in the firm over the years would be gone.

No matter what, she couldn't allow this to happen.

"As long as he doesn't show his face, I will insist that he is not Kurosawa Hikaru, even if the evidence is irrefutable."

Thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, Hamada Mia looked at the landline phone again with a gloomy expression and clenched the receiver.

……

"What a pity. After this hang up, it is unlikely that I will call again."

In the family restaurant, Igarashi Runa felt very sorry.

This phone call made her feel depressed. She had taken revenge, but not completely. She was only halfway proud.

"why?"

"Because you have signed with the agency."

"Huanxing called just to sign me?"

In fact, Kurosawa Hikaru also felt happy in his heart.

"When industry firms proactively contact us, it's usually for the purpose of signing contracts, and then for various collaborations." Igarashi Runa nodded.

Igarashi Runa wanted to explain, but seeing that he didn't seem very interested, she stopped talking about such trivial matters and asked, "Speaking of which, there have been quite a few calls seeking cooperation in the past few days. For example, a TV station wants to interview you."

"Forget about the interview. Let's stick to our original plan and keep the mystery to the fullest until the first concert."

"Indeed, when are you going to switch to singing form?"

“I don’t have any ideas for now, because I don’t have any original songs.”

Faced with this question, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and shook his head.

He has an entry-level singing voice, and his singing level is enough to crush most singers in the country.

But he can only sing, but he doesn't have the ability to compose music or write lyrics.

Moreover, he is not very familiar with Japanese songs. The few well-known songs, such as Lemon and Little Love Song, exist in this world.

"Isn't your Croatian Rhapsody an original work? It's already arranged, so just find a lyricist to work with. I know a lot of famous lyricists."

When Igarashi Runa heard this, he immediately said.

"That's superfluous."

In response to this suggestion, Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her and shook his head.

"Ok."

Seeing that he didn't want to sing, Igarashi Runa was very sensible and didn't force him.

"Just play the piano for now, and then consider singing if you think of a good song later."

Kurosawa Mitsuru thought about it and expressed his opinion.

He can sing songs like Little Love Song and Lemon in karaoke, after all, it is for fan entertainment.

But his current identity is an artist, and if he rashly sings other people's songs, there will be copyright risks.

"There's still a long way to go. Let's take it slow. There's no rush for singing. With your piano skills, playing the piano is enough for you to become famous."

Igarashi Runa nodded, and then realized the implication of his words, as if he was worried that she would mind, so she smiled.

Soon, the waiter came over with the dishes.

It was already past 8 o'clock, and the two were already hungry, so they started eating right away.

……

After eating and drinking, Kurosawa Hikaru was sent home. It was already past 9 o'clock.

When he got home, he took out his mobile phone as usual and opened Line.

But the situation tonight is different from usual.

Because of Line, there were no messages today. Xiao Yuki did not send dozens of messages like before every time he returned home.

"Ok?"

Kurosawa Hikaru suspected that there was something wrong with his network, so he disconnected from his home Wifi and switched to mobile data.

However, no matter how many times he switched, there was no information displayed in Xiao Yuji's column.

Entering the chat page, Kurosawa Hikaru took a look and found that the last chat message was in the morning.

Xiao Yuki: "Good morning, Guang brother, I have to go to the exam."

Myself: "Good morning, good luck on your exam."

After that, Xiao Yuji didn't send any new information.

"What's going on? Has she been kidnapped?"

Faced with this strangeness, Kurosawa Mitsuru's heart suddenly trembled.

Logically speaking, Xiao Yuki would report various schedules to him, such as when classes were over, what to eat during lunch break, who to eat with, when school was over, and when she returned home.

But what's going on tonight? I've been out of touch since this morning.

It is not impossible that she was kidnapped... After all, she is now a celebrity, and a popular internet beauty.

If a perverted stalker targeted her and planned to kidnap her, it would be very easy to do so.

"1."

Realizing this possibility, Kurosawa Mitsuru quickly sent a message, just typing a number.

"Brother Guang, what does 1 mean?"

After a few seconds, the message became read, and she quickly replied, very confused.

After getting the response, Kurosawa Hikaru made the video call without hesitation.

The video request was approved, and a picture soon appeared on the chat page.

"Brother Guang, are you done?"

On the screen, the blonde Yuki Ichinose, with blue eyes and fair skin, asked curiously.

"are you at home?"

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her and confirmed that she was unharmed, then looked at her background. Although there was little picture, he could vaguely see that it seemed to be her room.

"Yes." Ichinose Yuki nodded.

"Why didn't you send me a message today?"

After confirming that she was not out of contact, Kurosawa Mitsuru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Don't you have your final exam next week? I thought you would study for it, so I didn't send it."

Yuki Ichinose realized that this was the reason why he made the video call, so she explained.

"If you were worried about disturbing me while I was preparing for the exam, you should have said so earlier even if you didn't want to send me a message."

After understanding the reason, Kurosawa Hikaru completely relaxed, but when he thought of the shock he had just experienced, he couldn't help but complain.

This girl, she suddenly stopped sending messages. If you don’t know her, you would think she encountered some emergency.
