142. Achieve goals
(4000 word chapters)
Misa Watanabe didn't deliberately embarrass Shinichi Iwahashi before proposing such an either-or option.
An established office that has been set in order can accommodate people with all kinds of ideas, because the core will not be impacted. However, Watanabe Manyumi wants to go out and set up another door, and since she sees Iwahashi Shinichi as her right-hand man, she must find out if this arm is really reliable enough to be one with her.
Talent is valuable, but for a start-up firm, there is a danger that comes with it.
If he is allowed to follow Watanabe Manyumi to become independent, with Watanabe Manyumi's trust and respect for him, he will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
As the mainstay of the new office, once it withdraws halfway, because it is a veteran of the joint venture, the blow to the new office will be immeasurable. Watanabe Manyumi's efforts are afraid that she will make wedding clothes for others.
Watanabe Manyumi thinks that she and Iwahashi Shinichi are "heroes cherish heroes", but for Watanabe Misa, she thinks that Manyumi's over-appreciation of Iwahashi Shinichi will affect her judgment and ignore other issues.
Misa Watanabe admits that Shinichi Iwahashi has talent, but it doesn't have to tie him to Watanabe for the rest of his life.
If he hesitates, he can stay in Watanabe to produce, and if Miki Yoshida can't tolerate him, it doesn't hurt to introduce him to work at another studio. In the future, he will either become a senior in the industry, or carry out his own innovation on his own, that is his business.
However, if he took advantage of Watanabe's trust in him, he used her daughter and Watanabe's precious innovative spark as a springboard...... This is what Misa Watanabe can't allow.
has acquiesced to him being both a band and an agent, and has to ignore the risk that he may be taken away by him in the future when he perceives that he may have other hidden circumstances when he enters the office, and let him become independent from Watanabe Manyumi, how can he take all the good things alone?
In the final analysis, from the very beginning, the problem that Misa Watanabe was thinking about was to make Watanabe Manyumi independent, not to let Watanabe Manyumi take Iwahashi Shinichi to become independent.
All along, she also believed in Manyumi Watanabe, not Shinichi Iwahashi.
But in addition, when proposing this either-or option, Watanabe Misa still had a little thought of Shinichi Iwahashi in her heart but never spoke.
If he chooses to stay by Watanabe's side, Watanabe Productions will naturally not treat him badly in the future.
Iwahashi Shinichi is less than four years younger than Wan Yumi, although his age is not very matched, but since Wan Yumi admires him at work and does not hate him in private, if he can really fight with her...... Or it is not impossible to recruit him as a son-in-law.
Misa Watanabe doesn't hate Shinichi Iwahashi.
......
Misa Watanabe didn't ask Shinichi Iwahashi to take a stand immediately, so he was able to think about it slowly. After leaving the president's office, he hesitated for a moment whether to take the initiative to contact Watanabe Manyumi.
However, as soon as this idea appeared, he vetoed it.
Although this matter revolves around the issue of Watanabe Manyumi's independence, the answer is still from himself, and there is no reason to discuss it with Watanabe Manyumi. Besides, before Watanabe Manyumi had a showdown with him, he could still think slowly, if he bumped into it now - how would he answer?
Himself, after Misa Watanabe asked this question, he hesitated in the face of a great opportunity, and he had already explained some problems.
For a few days, Iwahashi pondered this question as soon as he was free, thinking about what he should choose next.
Misa Watanabe is not an arrogant and unreasonable president, and the two paths given are nothing more than one thing: you can't have both fish and bear's paws.
and wants to rely on her daughter's trust to exert her strength, and she thinks about something else, no matter whether she stands in the position of her mother or the president, of course she can't bear it.
Think about how men who made a fortune on their wives and kicked their wives as soon as they became prosperous were viewed. Although it can't be generalized, at least from the perspective of the mother-in-law, I definitely won't think that this kind of son-in-law is doing a good job.
Now he has a name in the industry, but his sense of existence is still an inch and a half long worm, what is the future, what is the future, no one has peeked at the answers to the test papers, I don't know how many questions I can answer correctly, and whether the future will be as smooth as it is now.
There's no need for Misa Watanabe to have any expectations for a future that doesn't know when it will be realized, thinking about this, Iwahashi Shin'ichi thinks that Misa Watanabe, who can frankly give that insurance card, is a kind person.
However, can this insurance card really be played?
Iwahashi pondered the pros and cons of these two options over and over again, and then, with a flash of inspiration, he understood why he couldn't make up his mind.
At the end of the day, what he hated was the feeling that his fate couldn't be controlled by himself.
......
The changes within Watanabe Productions involved Shinichi Iwahashi. This was something he didn't expect, but it also made sense.
Because of this incident, Shinichi Iwahashi's heart subtly awakened something.
Watanabe Manyumi didn't have a showdown with him for a long time, so he pretended to be stupid, pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to do his job.
However, before entering March, there is another personal matter, but it is also a serious matter to be done.
He finally had to move, from the small apartment at Koenji Temple, where he had lived in Tokyo since he began, to improve his quality of life.
When he first became Shinichi Iwahashi, he lived in this old apartment, which was only six stacks in size and did not even have a bed, and he set himself a small goal to live in a house with beds. This small goal has been realized since entering Watanabe Productions and successfully completing Matsumoto Akiko's transformation plan.
But immediately after the planning of the music festival, every day is so busy that it is comparable to 007, and the matter of moving is over. Until now, I have been busy with major events at work, and I have some free time, and I can finally deal with this major event in life.
Living in Tokyo, moving is not a trivial matter, and in addition to the various rules about renting out a house, as well as the things to deal with when moving and moving expenses, plus the various expenses that you have to pay after moving, it is said that "the more you move, the poorer you become".
Miwa Yoshida shared the money with her when he went on tour, and after joining Watanabe Productions, various bonuses, extra money and salary, etc., minus the expenses in between, Shinichi Iwahashi now has almost 2.5 million yen on hand.
It's a two-hundred-and-five.
But anyway, moving into a clean and comfortable house with a bed is enough.
Since the end of the New Year, Iwahashi Shinichi has been paying attention to various rental newspapers, looking for suitable ones in a dense pile of rental information that looks the same. Being a staff member is not as comfortable as being an artist, and renting a house has someone from the office to help Zhang Luo, so you have to rely on yourself.
Thousands of choices, considering location, transportation, price, after all aspects of weighing - poor is not good, if you have money in your pocket, how can you consider the cost performance to pick a big one among the short, and go directly to the high-end apartment.
The small apartment of Gaoyuan Temple is almost surrounded by four walls, and there is nothing to take if you want to move, so a few cardboard boxes are loaded. What needs to be dealt with the most is the bundle of old magazines that he has moved back from the second-hand bookstore since he decided to devote himself to this business. Since there weren't many things, and there was no need for labor to move the company, on that day, Masato Nakamura went to borrow a miniature box of goods, and then called Miwa-chan, and the three of them worked together to deal with the move.
If you really want to talk about it, maybe it's more troublesome to move notice than moving.
Since you have moved, your phone number and address have changed, so you have to say hello to friends or acquaintances with whom you have been in contact and send a large stack of moving postcards announcing your new address and phone number. This job Iwahashi Shin did it again and again, thanks to the existence of a photocopier, otherwise, if he had to write all the handwriting like he went to the record company to send a sample, he would be so tired that he doubted his life.
"Mineshima-san, Amaya-san, the person in charge of LIVEHOUSE, Takeuchi-san, Akamatsu-san, and then ......" Iwahashi Shinichi wrote the corresponding recipient on the postcard as he flipped through the address book.
I don't know if I don't move, but when I move, I find out how many people I need to say hello to, especially if I am engaged in this kind of profession that constantly deals with people.
"Asako Iwahashi. When the name came up in the address book, Iwahashi shook his hand.
It was the name of his sister. It is said that it was born in the morning, so it is called this name. She is over thirty years old this year, but she is not married yet. I don't know who can endure such a genius.
The two siblings are in Tokyo together, and they have never been in contact with each other.
Iwahashi Shinichi stared at the name and recalled, and a figure finally came to mind. With shoulder-length hair, well-dressed professional attire, and a goose egg face, the two siblings don't look much alike.
After thinking about it, he picked up his pen and wrote down Asako Iwahashi's message on the next postcard.
After taking care of the pre-move matters, on the evening of Saturday at the end of February, Masato Nakamura drove a van truck and loaded the cardboard boxes into the car. Shinichi Iwahashi went to the landlord with the prepared snacks and thanked him for taking care of him all the time, although not at all. It's all routines.
This kind of movement also alarmed Keiyuki Nitta, who lived next door, and he opened the door and carefully leaned out to investigate the situation outside.
"Iwahashi-san, are you moving?" Keiichi Nitta understood what was going on.
Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "Yes." This time bothered, Nitta-san. β
"No, it's a pleasure to be a neighbor with you......"
If Keiyuki Nitta hadn't seen him all day, he would shrink his head as if he had blackmailed him for money, and Iwahashi would have believed it. However, it was always a neighbor, and Keiyuki Nitta inadvertently helped him, and Shinichi Iwahashi exchanged a few words with him, and left him the address and phone number of the new house.
After everything was taken care of, Miwa Yoshida lowered the window and poked his head out, "Shinichichi-kun-"
Listen, it's really energetic. No matter what time you are so energetic.
......
The address of the new apartment is in Kitazawa, the house is not too old, although the color of the exterior wall has been washed away by the wind and rain, but the facilities inside are good.
Although the area is still not large, it is fully equipped, with kitchens and bathrooms, so there is no need to go outside to soak in the public bath from now on, and there is also a short balcony.
The most important thing, of course, is that there is a bed in this house.
In the evening, Iwahashi Shinichi thanked the two of them for helping with the move, and had to treat them to a nearby restaurant. Nakamura Masato then took the first step, returned the borrowed small box of goods, and came back to the appointment.
As soon as he left, only Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida were left in the room.
The new apartment is twice the size of the original house, and the ceiling is high, and even then, the pile of cardboard boxes that have not had time to be unpacked and put together looks cramped.
Regardless of the fact that he was still wearing his coat, Iwahashi Shinichi sat down directly on the bed, pressed the mattress, and said with a smile: "I finally achieved my goal of living in a room with a bed." β
In front of Miwa Yoshida, he didn't care if he was too frank or not.
"It turns out that Shen Yijun still has such a goal?"
"It's just a small goal. Iwahashi made a gesture of "a little bit".
Miwa Yoshida laughed when she heard this, "However, I can't forget that I went to your apartment and wrote a letter of introduction with you." It's a dilapidated house with nothing though......"
"Where," Iwahashi corrected, "there are always canned oolong teas." β
"It's good not to say that," Miwa Yoshida laughed, "and the more I say it, the more shabby it sounds." β
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care, and said with a smile: "The shabby days only go up every day." β
"Againβ"
Miwa Yoshida said as if coaxing: "It is worthy of being a prudent one-kun, and golden sentences are frequent." β
The two of them talked and laughed together.
After the joke passed, the two of them stopped talking in unison - no matter how lively the chat, it was inevitable that this situation would suddenly appear.
The air fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Miwa Yoshida suddenly said: "To say that in addition to canned oolong tea, there are others." It's these messy memories. β
"It would be nice if there wasn't that nonsense. Iwahashi said.
"So what does it matter? Miwa Yoshida smiled and looked at him, "I won't forget, those messy memories." β
Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned and replied, "In this way, there are really a lot of things in that house." β
......
Masato Nakamura went to return the car and came back, and the three of them went to dinner together. After dinner, I found another bar to renew the stall. Saturday night is the best time for the market. The streets were bustling with people, and the bars were packed.
While he was drinking, Shinichi Iwahashi's pager rang, telling him to call back quickly.
"I'm going to make a call. He stood up.
Miwa Yoshida teased, "Go quickly, busy agent San." β
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled helplessly and went to borrow a pay phone.
After connecting, a familiar but unexpected voice came from the other end of the phone, "Iwahashi-san, excuse me." β
It is Manyumi Watanabe.
