When people are sick, they don't even have to socialize.

In the past few days of a severe cold, Iwahashi Shinichi has rarely lived the 9-to-6 life of an ordinary office worker, and not only that, but every day when he comes home, there are carefully prepared meals waiting for him.

It's a beautiful little day—if it's not sick, it's even more beautiful.

After the meal, Shinichi Iwahashi took a comfortable bath and turned on the TV.

Just after nine o'clock, the phone rang. He turned off the TV and picked up the receiver.

"I'm Iwahashi. ”

"Good evening, Shen Yijun. ”

Iwahashi Shin'ichi heard who it was, and slowed down the tone that was still a little businesslike just now, "Akina-san." ”

"Good evening. He said.

On the other side of the phone, Akina Nakamori said, "Shin Yijun's voice has changed so much...... Is it true that the cold is serious?"

During this time, I was asked like this from time to time, and Iwahashi Shinichi replied N+1 for the N+1st time: "It's okay." However, Akina Nakamori's tone was obviously knowing about his cold before he called.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Did Kiko tell Akina-san?"

"Yukiko said, look at your hard work. She said.

As it turns out, not only does he talk to Akina Nakamori and Yukiko Okada about the other person who is not present, but the two of them also talk about him as a topic of conversation.

That's just right, it's flat.

Shin Iwahashi thought it was funny and told her, "Yukiko also told me that Akina-san's cold has been cured. ”

"Really?" Akina Nakamori also thought it was interesting to spread the voice like this.

She probably thought to herself that the two of them had a cold like a relay race. Shinichi Iwahashi made a joke. As soon as he said this, from the other side of the phone, there was the laughter of Akina Nakamori.

The two were on opposite ends of the phone, laughing together at this wonderful coincidence.

Iwahashi Shinichi's throat was hoarse, the phone didn't last long, and after chatting for a while, Akina Nakamori took the initiative to end the topic, "Shinichichi-kun should have a good rest." ”

"I think I should be able to get better with a cold next week. ”

Before hanging up the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi said to her, "Thank you for calling on purpose." ”

"Tomorrow. ”

At this time, Akina Nakamori suddenly said.

"Tomorrow?" Iwahashi waited for her next.

After a while, she told Shinichi Iwahashi, "Tomorrow, when Shinichi-kun goes home, remember to check your inbox." ”

"Yes, remember. Shinichi Iwahashi promised her.

The next day, when he got home, he remembered Akina Nakamori's advice on the phone yesterday and went to look at his inbox, and as a result, he received a small boxy package from Akina Nakamori.

Is it a reply to the previous letter?

Iwahashi took the package back and opened it to see that it contained small things such as mint cream to relieve the symptoms of cold discomfort, and in addition to that, it also came with a text message.

On the letter, Akina Nakamori carefully wrote about the usage and dosage of these small things, saying that these were all small things that her agent collected during her previous severe cold and she felt that they were very useful after using them.

"It would be nice if I could make Shen Yijun feel a little more comfortable. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi read such a text message, and felt very comfortable in his heart. He continued to look down, and at the end of the letter, Akina Nakamori wrote again: "By the way, this letter is something else, and the reply to the last letter has not yet been written. ”

The last postscript made Iwahashi Shinichi laugh.

What this means is that the letter that really needs him to reply has not yet been written, so there is no need to reply. However, Iwahashi put down the letter and thought that since he had received such a thoughtful package, he should still say thank you to Akina Nakamori.

However, when he dialed Akina Nakamori's number, the phone was not connected. And by the time the call was back, it was already the next day.

On the day the package was sent, Akina Nakamori went to Osaka to record a show, and when she returned to Tokyo, it was too late for her to call back, so she delayed calling again the next night.

"Although I was very uncomfortable with a cold, I was able to live a quiet life when I could answer the phone at home at any time at night for the first time in a long time. Shinichi Iwahashi received a phone call and said jokingly when she talked about going to Osaka.

Akina Nakamori also smiled, "Before, when I had a cold, I thought about it too. During the severe cold, it became the most idle time of the year for her.

Shinichi Iwahashi thanked her on the phone for the gift, "The mint paste smells refreshing. "Although the entertainment has been canceled, the workload during the day is still there, and the things sent by Akina Nakamori are used when working, which is really good.

"It's good if I can help Shen Yijun. Akina Nakamori said and suddenly smiled.

Shinichi Iwahashi was a little curious, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing ......" Akina Nakamori also joins the persecution of cats.

Cat lover Shinichi Iwahashi sighed and expressed strong condemnation, "It's uncomfortable to say only half of the words." ”

"Really?" Akina Nakamori took seriously.

"Actually, just because Shen Yijun said 'thank you' to me, I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. She explained.

"Excuse me?" Iwahashi wondered.

She let out a "hmm", "Because I didn't do anything for Shen Yijun either......"

"Where's that. Shinichi Iwahashi corrected her, "Reaching out when someone else needs it is worth saying 'thank you'." ”

He still insists on affirming the value of Akina Nakamori as a person and what she does.

"Thank you, Shen Yijun. Akina Nakamori felt his thoughtfulness and kindness.

This time, it was replaced by Iwahashi Shen smiled, "Akina-san, are we going to thank each other like this?"

I was reminded that it did become such a situation of thanking each other......

Akina Nakamori came back to her senses and couldn't help but smile.

......

Entering December, Shinichi Iwahashi's cold finally let him go, and his "it will be fine next week" has not become an empty phrase.

After sending away the difficult cold, the nutritionist introduced by Watanabe Manyumi no longer came to the door, and Shinichi Iwahashi just fell into the food trap of opening his mouth to eat, and immediately returned to the former life of a bachelor who either ate out or cooked some simple meals by himself.

The gap is so big that he can't help but sigh in his heart, "It's good to be rich".

In the morning, when Shinichi Iwahashi puts on his suit and goes out to welcome the new day, he is even more motivated.

Make hay!

As soon as he regained his spirits, the large and small affairs of the production company and record company that had revolved around him moved closer to him again, and the meetings and entertainment canceled during this period were waiting for him to return.

On December 1st, the contract signed between U-MIZ and the local broadcasting bureaus officially came into effect, and commercial radio began to promote DREAMS COME TRUE's "Future Forecast II".

Before the release entity, they started playing songs on the radio first, and the record companies and studios were not without objections to this upside-down publicity method.

Even if a physical single is to be released, the company tries to avoid choosing a seven-and-a-half-minute song as an A-side song. And now, canceling a physical single is also missing a single income.

From any point of view, the project is capricious and daring.

The fact that the entire project was able to proceed according to Shinichi Iwahashi's plan was due to the full support of Watanabe Manyumi. Otherwise, this kind of unobtrusive tossing method, another boss will never play with him like this.

In addition to the support of Manyumi Watanabe, the record company CBS Sony, and Kazuo Hirai helped speak to the band's production team.

Kazuo Hirai's idea was not complicated at all, or a little too simplistic—he was curious about what the results would be and what the public reaction would be if this kind of propaganda plan was actually implemented.

Besides, it was Shinichi Iwahashi who was known for his opposition to tradition, and on the one hand, he trusted Shinichi Iwahashi, and on the other hand, he used this publicity project as a guinea pig to observe.

However, whatever the reason, as long as the plan is supported when it is implemented, it doesn't matter whether it's a white cat or a black cat.

The publicity funds were spent and the contract came into effect, and the firm set up two specialists for this publicity project, who were responsible for maintaining contact with the radio stations in various places and paying attention to the publicity effects of the radio stations.

After that, the data is collated and reported back at the regular meeting every Monday for the next four weeks.

With such close attention, you can also feel their nervousness about the plan.

Compared with the concerns of the black clothes behind the scenes, it is obvious that Miwa-chan is more relaxed.

In terms of publicity, she has always had no opinion, she is only responsible for writing songs and singing and carrying a gun with a mouse, and everything else shows that it is not her business.

However, when she learned that she had contacted a nationwide broadcasting bureau for broadcasting, she confirmed with Shinichi Iwahashi in particular, "So, Sapporo Broadcasting will also be broadcast?"

"Of course. Iwahashi Shinichi replied in the affirmative.

Miwa-chan imagined, "This is a song written when I was in Sapporo. ”...... Sapporo people will definitely like it.

And it was written while sitting in my father's car. Iwahashi Shinichi unveiled her old bottom.

It's rare for Miwa-chan not to worry about him, "I told my family that the band will appear in the Red and White Song Festival this year. My father was very happy, and my mother said that she would promote us when we attended the party in Katamachi. ”

The Yoshida family in Hokkaido has a harmonious relationship, and it is the kind of family that is born in a family that never lacks warmth and laughter that can raise the character of Miwa-chan.

Just like the Iwahashi family, who couldn't even quarrel with Shizuoka, raised the two Iwahashi siblings.

Having said that, even if he told his family that he was going to participate in the Red and White Song Club, with his father Iwahashi Masaki's special speaking skills of saying cold and dead words seriously, it is very likely that he will come to the last sentence:

"The person under the hood can't see his face, and if I go out and tell someone, I'll be mistaken as bragging. ”

However, even if you brag, there is nothing to brag about playing the giraffe man.

......

As soon as the cold was good, Iwahashi Shinichi contacted Narita Kanyuki and rearranged the dinner party that had been forced to be canceled before.

It was about industry-related business, and Asako Iwahashi didn't show up. Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe meet with Hiroyuki Narita at Minamiaoyama's restaurant.

December is supposed to be the best month for restaurant and hotel business, especially when companies hold various receptions, and restaurants that are often slightly famous are fully booked.

However, this year, due to the impact of the self-purification order, large-scale gatherings have been cancelled, and business gatherings at the end of the year have also been suspended. Because of this, this popular restaurant does not have too many customers today.

This meeting has been awaited by Kanyuki Narita for a long time. When I saw Watanabe Manyumi, she was quite polite.

As soon as they met, he first congratulated Iwahashi Shinichi on his cold, and Watanabe Manyumi congratulated him on his marriage, so he politely greeted him before sitting down.

The three of them chatted while eating, and the topic was not only around the promotion plan for this new album, but Kanyuki Narita intentionally or unintentionally, threw out a sentence or two, leading the topic to the collaboration between Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe.

However, his words are quite clever, and although he is suspected of probing, he does not make people feel uncomfortable, and just treats his words as ordinary chat.

For Narita Kanyuki, the talent shown by his brother-in-law in this series of events is only one aspect, and the cooperation with Watanabe Manyumi constitutes another aspect.

When the two sides are combined, it makes people look at each other differently.

Shinichi Iwahashi as a spokesman told Narita about the specific progress.

"In short, now that the commercial radio has started the promotion, the next step is to prepare for the advertising broadcast after the year. To this end, we are going to shoot three commercials to be broadcast after the year. ”

After saying this, he looked at Watanabe Manyumi.

Watanabe Manyumi had a tacit understanding, picked up the topic, and then talked about issues such as time slots. She was the owner of the firm, and it made sense for her to say that.

The two have worked together for a long time, and this tacit understanding is absolutely not lacking.

Narita Kanyuki first talked to his brother-in-law, and then communicated with Watanabe Manyumi, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, if these two people were to go out to do something at the same time, there would probably be nothing that could not be done.

It's not easy to parry.

After eating a meal, Narita Kanyuki has a better understanding of this brother-in-law's talents, but his impression of Watanabe Manyumi is also particularly deep.

It's really worthy of the daughter of the legendary Watanabe Jin.

......

After the meal, the three of them said goodbye.

Kanyuki Narita left in a taxi first, leaving only Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe, and Shinichi Iwahashi said to her, "Brother-in-law Narita admires you very much." ”

"Really?" Watanabe Manyumi also sensed Hiroyuki Narita's attention to her.

Iwahashi nodded cautiously and half-jokingly: "It took me a lot of effort to express myself to win the opportunity to talk to him on an equal footing." ”

"It's pathetic to say that. Watanabe Manyumi laughed at him.

But it's not all about pretending to be pitiful. Iwahashi Shinichi thought.

"Next ......"

He thought about saying goodbye to Manyumi Watanabe.

However, he was intercepted by Watanabe Manyumi, "Next, does Shin Yijun have any arrangements?"

"What?" Iwahashi Shinichi put away what he was about to say.

"Find another place to sit. Watanabe Manyumi invited him, "Talk about that 'Shunji-san'." ”
