"Thank you for your hospitality!"

The two girls who were traveling with Haruko Akamatsu bowed to the agent of the Star Office and thanked her.

The agent smiled heartily and replied rather gentlemanly, "It's my honor to have you invited." ”

Originally, I went to hand Haruko Akamatsu a business card, but it turned out to be a situation where Haruko Akamatsu and her companions were invited to eat together with the models of the office.

The reason why it has developed like this is that most of the credit goes to Natsuo Okamoto.

......

The agent ran to Haruko Akamatsu, and Natsuo Okamoto recognized that the girl who made the agent the target was the Akamatsu-san he had met at the sorority, and as a self-acquaintance, he took the initiative to say hello to Haruko Akamatsu.

Knowing that they had met, the agent who was determined to sign Haruko Akamatsu simply took advantage of this relationship that could not be beaten by eight poles and took advantage of the situation to invite Haruko Akamatsu to dinner.

Knowing that only one Haruko Akamatsu would not be invited, and she could refuse with the reason of "wanting to be with friends", the agent simply played the strategy of eating and playing with college students when companies in the society signed contracts with college students, and attracted Haruko Akamatsu's companions and invited the three of them at a time.

The two companions were knocked down by the agent's sugar-coated cannonballs, and as a girl herself, she is not the kind of person who has no interest in the entertainment industry, and an agent said that he wanted to treat him, even if he had the mentality of listening to gossip a little, he was a little moved.

On one side is a companion who is eager to try, and on the other side is an invitation from an agent, at this time, Haruko Akamatsu and Sachiko Kamaike meet their eyes, and the other party smiles at her.

At this moment, Haruko Akamatsu suddenly had a feeling that her current situation was understood.

"Thank you, then, for your hospitality. Because of this, Haruko Akamatsu was calm.

The two companions were also happy and bowed to the agent, "Thank you for your hospitality!"

In this era when college students are treated preferentially, the two companions do not have the idea of making cheap money at all.

To put it bluntly, in their opinion, the agent wants to sign a contract with Haruko Akamatsu, which is similar to a company trying to get an excellent student.

Nowadays, in order to sign contracts with outstanding students, companies not only eat and drink well, invite them to travel abroad, but also find students' homes to give gifts to students' parents and professors, so that parents and professors can help say good things.

Because in such an era, the two companions thought that the agent's invitation was deserved, and not only that, but the two of them agreed to this matter, and also created an opportunity for the agent to communicate with Haruko Akamatsu.

Is it thick-skinned? But that's the "norm" now.

However, the broker doesn't feel at a loss at all, anyway, there are entertainment funds from the firm. Besides, he is to help the firm sign excellent newcomers, which is a serious thing.

In short, if you don't manage crookedness, it's a world where everyone is justified.

......

The atmosphere at the dinner party was much better than at the sorority, everyone in the model camp was acquaintances, all women attended the party, even if the agent wanted to sign Haruko Akamatsu, he would not compete with them for work resources, there was no competition, and there were fewer contradictions.

Besides, there is another agent who is good at dealing with people to preside over the overall situation, although the people from the two camps are meeting for the first time, the atmosphere is still very harmonious.

Although Haruko Akamatsu is introverted, she is not the kind of person who has stage fright, not only that, but sometimes she has a little courage and self-confidence that comes from nowhere, if it weren't for this, she would not have agreed to Tatsuya Hirakawa to join the band, let alone decide to quit the band and go behind the scenes later.

Although she has caused a series of troubles, this kind of "bravery" is also part of her personality.

"Let's just say that with Akamatsu-san's conditions, even being an actress is not a problem, right? Even our agent fell in love with it at a glance. ”

At the dinner, Natsuo Okamoto said this to Haruko Akamatsu.

She was simply kind-hearted, and felt that with Haruko Akamatsu's conditions, it was useless to only hide behind the scenes. Haruko Akamatsu's beauty, Natsuo Okamoto is not jealous at all, not only that, but he also thinks that if she becomes an actress, he will definitely support her movie.

Now, the agent wants to sign her, and Okamoto Natsuo makes his own opinion, so he wants to say a few good words for her.

"Yes," the agent said, too, "Akamatsu-san's face will be beautiful on TV." ”

The companion who traveled with Haruko Akamatsu ate people's mouths, and at this time he was also dutiful, of course, telling the truth, and saying good things for Haruko Akamatsu. However, this kind of good thing is more like saying it on behalf of the agent of Xingchen Firm.

......

"Sachiko, why don't you say something!" Natsu Okamoto coaxed and didn't forget to pull Sachiko Kabuike.

Sachiko Kamaike showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but it was not because she was suddenly named, but because she felt that she should not point fingers at Haruko Akamatsu's decision.

In her mind, with Haruko Akamatsu's conditions, she probably doesn't know how many talent scouts she has received so far, and if she plans to enter the entertainment world, she may have already made her debut.

Since I didn't, I chose to work part-time at Iwahashi-san's production company, so I must have my own ideas.

"It still depends on Akamatsu-san's own thoughts. Sachiko Kamachi couldn't hide and said something.

The agent and the models all laughed, looking like "she's here again".

"Sachiko is like that," the agent was half helpless at her, "like an office worker is old-fashioned." ”

Natsuo Okamoto said something for Sachiko Kamaike, "Originally, Yuki-chan was working as an office worker before. ”

The atmosphere became lively again, and the topic shifted from persuading Haruko Akamatsu to discussing what the models were doing before signing the contract.

Sachiko Kamachi took the opportunity to "get out", breathed a sigh of relief, and met Haruko Akamatsu's gaze.

Haruko Akamatsu smiled at her and thanked her for speaking for herself. At the same time, there is a sense of understanding.

"Actually, if you want to talk about ideas, they change all the time, don't they?" said Natsuo Okamoto, "For example, Yuki-chan, doesn't she want to sing the most? ”

Sachiko's resume at the office says that she is good at singing and dreams of working in a singing-related job. "The agent remembers, too.

This is not something that needs to be avoided, although artists are similar to commodities, but not all of them accept the arrangement of the firm, and the office will also find corresponding jobs according to the direction of the artist's development or their strengths.

"So, if you take it one step at a time, your ideas are changing all the time, so it doesn't matter if you try something you haven't tried before. "Natsuo Okamoto is quite free-spirited.

"That's right! It's Xia Sheng-chan!" the agent applauded her.

In the midst of the commotion, Haruko Akamatsu remembered Okamoto Natsuo's words: What Sachiko Kamachi wants to do most is sing.

She wants to sing, does it mean that she wants to be a singer?

......

In the middle of the meal, Sachiko Kamaike felt that her makeup was a little spent, picked up her handbag, and got up to go to the bathroom.

Haruko Akamatsu thought about it, and after she went out, she also left the box.

Sachiko Kamaike takes off her makeup in front of the mirror at the sink when she was filming the show. After removing her makeup, she was a city girl with heavy makeup just now, but now she has returned to the state of clear soup noodles.

Wiping the water droplets from her face, Sachiko Kabachi looked in the mirror and saw Haruko Akamatsu walking in.

"Hello. Sachiko Kamaike smiled at Haruko Akamatsu in the mirror.

Haruko Akamatsu also smiled, "Hello. ”

The two girls, facing the same mirror, greeted each other.

"What a coincidence today. ”

"yes, I didn't expect to meet like this. "It's a coincidence that I met on the street, but I didn't expect to be called by her agent.

Haruko Akamatsu looked at Sachiko Kamaike in the mirror, remembering the mature makeup on her face when they met just now, and turned on the faucet, "Did you just finish work?"

"Well, there's a TV shoot today. Sachiko Kamaike replied. Facing Haruko Akamatsu, he hesitated a little, but he still said, "Although I don't know what you think, Xingchen is a very formal office, and Nakano-san is also a good person." ”

Nakano is the agent's last name. Sachiko Kamaike said this, implying that there is no need to worry about being deceived.

Haruko Akamatsu didn't answer the conversation, but suddenly said to Sachiko Kamaike, "Just now, Okamoto-san said that your dream is to sing. ”

"Hey?" Sachiko Kamachi was stunned, showing a shy expression, but she didn't expect Haruko Akamatsu to say this suddenly. But even so, he replied in a firm tone, "Yes." ”

"I remember when I was at karaoke, you were really good at singing. ”

"You are ...... too" Sachiko Kamaike said the truth, and when she said it, she couldn't help but laugh.

What is this? Compliments to each other?

However, making such a little joke made the atmosphere more harmonious.

"You've been a lead singer in a band before. ”

"Yes, but then quit the band. Haruko Akamatsu said this, and her tone paused, "Because after thinking about it carefully, I realized that I might be better suited to stay behind the scenes than my talent in front of the stage." ”

However, because I didn't realize this until I became the person in front of the stage, I suddenly said that I was going to retreat behind the scenes, which also caused a lot of trouble for the people around me. ”

Haruko Akamatsu didn't know what she had in mind to say such things to Sachiko Kamaike.

"Then I'm probably the opposite, right?"

Haruko Akamatsu said about herself, and Sachiko Kamaike was infected and confided in her heart, "My dream was to sing, but I became a model." However, after becoming a model, I felt that singing was my dream. ”

Haruko Akamatsu found another true dream in a job, but Sachiko Kamaike never changed her dream no matter what work she did.

These words are not something that can be said casually to strangers, but because of the subtle mutual understanding between her and Haruko Akamatsu, Sachiko Kamaike feels that she can trust.

"You have a great voice. Haruko Akamatsu recalls her thoughts when she listened to Sachiko Kamaike sing, "If you sing rock music, it might be very textured, but I didn't hear you sing last time." ”

Because in karaoke, there are very few rock 'n' roll that are suitable for singing in such an occasion. If reading the air is regarded as a social norm, no one will deliberately do anything that is incompatible with others at the sorority.

Sachiko Kamaike was very happy to be commented on by Haruko Akamatsu, "I like rock music very much. It may be a shame to say this, but if you become a singer, you will definitely try to make rock-style songs. ...... This kind of rock is okay even if girls sing it in karaoke. ”

Two girls, in front of the mirror in the bathroom, talked about such a topic.

Or did Sachiko Kamachi react first, or rather, it was because she was talking too speculatively, unconsciously confiding too much, and she was a little shy, so she wanted to change the topic, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "If you don't go back for so long, other people will be strange, right?"

"yes. Haruko Akamatsu understands her complicated feelings about being in a hurry, but she has spoken the line.

The unnamed little model imagines what kind of music she will make as a singer in front of the person she meets for the second time, which is not only the preciousness of the dream, but also the sadness that the dream is difficult to achieve.

However, Sachiko Kamaike, who said these thoughts almost innocently, seemed so pure.

Coming out of the bathroom and walking back, Haruko Akamatsu thought for a while, made up her mind, and asked, "Kamaike-san, have you ever auditioned in the studio?"

Sachiko Kamaike stopped and shook her head, "Not yet." ”

"THEN, NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TIME, WOULD YOU LIKE TO VISIT GENZO'S STUDIO?" HARUKO AKAMATSU HANDED OVER HER INVITATION, BUT SHE DIDN'T FEEL PRESUMPTUOUS.

Haruko Akamatsu's courage and self-confidence that came from nowhere, prompted her to send this invitation. She wanted to hear Sachiko Kamaike sing rock music.

Sachiko Kamaike was surprised and happy to receive such an invitation, thought about it, and asked, "Is it okay?

"It doesn't matter, if you entertain friends, I still have this little bit of autonomy. Haruko Akamatsu smiled, "Even if you don't make an appointment in advance, you can take you there now." ”

"If you go now, you'll be too impatient. Sachiko Kamaike also smiled. However, I smiled and told Haruko Akamatsu seriously that I was glad to receive such an invitation and I also wanted to go to the recording studio.

Haruko Akamatsu has a kind of "bravery", and Sachiko Kamaike also has a kind of "bravery".

Because of this, Haruko Akamatsu handed over the invitation, and Sachiko Kamaike didn't want to let the invitation become an ordinary social rhetoric. The two courages of the two girls added up to make Haruko Akamatsu hand her an invitation, and Sachiko Kamachi decided not to wait for the uncertain "free next time".

So, the two girls checked each other's schedules, and finally agreed to meet at the station at eight o'clock tomorrow night.

When they returned to the box, everyone really teased them, but no one took Haruko Akamatsu or Sachiko Kamachi to heart, and they accepted all the ridicule.

Because of this, the ridiculers felt that it was not interesting, and they quickly let them go.

......

The next night, at eight o'clock in five minutes, Haruko Akamatsu came to the landmark where she had agreed to meet, and after standing for a while, she saw Sachiko Kamachi walking briskly towards this side.

She looked like she had just finished work and was wearing heavy makeup.

"It's been a long wait—"

After Sachiko Kamaike approached, the two greeted each other and walked to the recording studio together.
