In a world dominated by the men in black behind the scenes, it is inevitable that it will look clumsy to fight it on your own.

However, in the next business meeting, there were one or two times, and when Akina Mori showed difficult energy again, Watanabe Manyumi remained silent and spoke to help her resolve the atmosphere.

The shrewdness and ability shown when he was helping Iwahashi Shin was used to relieve people, and it seemed quiet and just right. Shinichi Iwahashi was most familiar with Watanabe's actions, and after a little reminiscence, he realized her subtle kindness to Akina Nakamori.

However, it is not necessarily accurate to say that this kind of help is good.

Akina Nakamori instinctively felt that she was being cared for by Watanabe Manyumi—just as she thought at first, Watanabe Manyumi was aware of her resistance and withdrew her gaze from looking at her.

It's not good to say whether it's because she directly experienced her care, or because of her subconscious feeling after seeing her shrewdness and ability, so that she had the experience of being cared for by this Watanabe-san.

Watanabe Manyumi has seen the embarrassment of Akina Nakamori when she was forced by her father and brother but was unable to fight back, and now she can cooperate with Shinichi Iwahashi tacitly and lightly resolve the problem.

Akina Nakamori has mixed feelings in the face of such Watanabe Manyumi. She can't say that she is completely grateful for the care she received from Watanabe Manyumi. But this is not superficial, and there is no malice towards Watanabe Manyumi, just as the kindness shown by Watanabe Manyumi is not necessarily complete and unthinking.

She glanced at Watanabe Manyumi from time to time, looking at her easy speech and demeanor, and couldn't help but think in her heart, "It's powerful enough", she can't be as capable as this Watanabe-san in her life.

Even if you resist, you will not deny others because of this. This little bit of caution is exactly what makes Akina Nakamori cute.

But she obviously resisted Watanabe Manyumi's shrewdness and ability, but she couldn't avoid being cared for by this shrewdness and ability. Not only that, but the more she resists Watanabe's shrewdness and ability, the more Watanabe Manyumi shows shrewd and capable kindness.

Watanabe Manyumi sensed her resistance, and even felt that Akina Nakamori was like a paper tiger, so she wanted to deliberately tease her. But the more she was like this, the more Akina Nakamori resisted.

But no matter how much the paper tiger shows its teeth and claws, it is only looking at bluffing.

There is a subtle thing flowing between the two women who have only met a few times and have never spoken alone.

This subtle thing turns into a thread that passes through the ease with which Manyumi Watanabe and Akina Nakamori are clumsy. Let these two women, who have their own thoughts in their hearts, these two originally unrelated qualities, be strung together by this silk thread.

And despite each having their own ideas, Watanabe Manyumi doesn't hate Akina Nakamori, and Akina Nakamori doesn't dislike Watanabe Amine-

After that, only Shinichi Iwahashi suffered.

When the paper tiger opens its teeth and claws, it can only bluff one person.

......

After the end of the party, the party that leads the way and the party that prepares for this side will be responsible for sending off the guests. Manyumi Watanabe came the earliest and left the latest.

If she doesn't leave, Iwahashi Shinichi, the real central figure at today's meeting, will not be able to leave immediately. He said goodbye to Warner and Toshiba EMI staff, and Akina Nakamori came to greet him before leaving.

After the two garlic experts greeted politely, Akina Nakamori left with the accompanying staff. However, Nozaki Gongichi of Yanyin was not in a hurry to leave, and caught Iwahashi Shinichi and chatted with him for a while before leaving.

As soon as Iwahashi Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief, Watanabe Manyumi came over and discussed with him, "Let's walk together for a while?" ”

"Ahh ”

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her and agreed. So, just finished Watanabe Manyumi's meal, and rubbed her car again.

"The people of Nakamori-san are quite assertive. ”

In the car back, Watanabe Manyumi said. She weighed her words, "But this kind of assertiveness is an assertiveness that leaves no way back." ”

"Leave no way back. ”

Iwahashi thought for a moment.

"When we do a project, we always have to think that even if this round doesn't work, we can have another opportunity to cooperate in the future. But Nakamori-san is different, when she was working on this project, she was only thinking about the present, and she didn't have the idea that she might have to deal with it in the future, so she had to leave room for discussion. ”

Because he doesn't think about the way back, he is particularly unwilling to back down, and he doesn't care about whether he will offend people.

In other words, in the eyes of the people in black, there is no permanent friend or enemy in the industry. But Akina Nakamori is a person, and the feeling to Watanabe Manyumi is that she has no concept of friend or enemy at all.

Watanabe Manyumi glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi, "This kind of personality is enough to offend people in the industry." ”

It's okay when someone protects you and is popular, otherwise you will lose the value of being sheltered, and you will have to be eaten alive.

"However, having an opinion at work is a valuable quality for an artist. "Watanabe Manyumi is telling the truth," for artists, obedience is the least worth mentioning. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect to get into Watanabe Manyumi's car, and what was waiting for him was such an impression and analysis of Akina Nakamori. He may not agree with what Watanabe said, but he has to admire her old vision of people again.

He paused and only said, "You said a lot of good things for her just now." ”

Watanabe Manyumi replied, "Women should help women." ”

At today's meeting, it was true that only two women, her and Akina Nakamori, were present. But Watanabe is clearly a pun. Shinichi Iwahashi didn't expect her to answer like this, and he was stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he said, "It's what you can say, and it's what you can do." ”

"What are you talking about me?" Watanabe Manyumi said to him, showing an incredulous expression.

The eyes of the two met, and Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect her to react so strongly, and he couldn't think of the source of her strong reaction, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Watanabe remembered her discovery at this meeting and gave him a nail that was neither soft nor hard, "I should say, 'It's something you can do.'" ”

It's a shame that he could take the gems from other stores as his own.

Iwahashi Shin's heart jumped.

What she said had no beginning or end, but Iwahashi Shinichi understood it as soon as he heard it. Hearing a pun, it is difficult to answer for a while. After hesitating for a moment, Watanabe Manyumi suddenly laughed again, "I'm kidding you." ”

She smiled heartily, but there was a sense of deliberately ending the topic.

Iwahashi Shinichi made her stunned, and following her words, he showed a wry smile, "I never knew you were so good at joking." "If that's a joke.

Watanabe Manyumi was at ease and replied to him, "Then I'll drive a few more times in the future." ”

"Spare me. Shinsei Iwahashi shook his head repeatedly.

Watanabe Manyumi looked at his expression that she couldn't do anything with her, and thought it was funny.

She thought of Iwahashi Shinichi's mood, and she didn't want to embarrass him. Even if everyone else couldn't understand why he did it, she could understand why Shinichi Iwahashi made the choice.

"It's something you will do".

Although this matter is not appropriate, Watanabe Manyumi really thinks so, so she is reluctant to say anything. There was a layer between the two, and they didn't say anything.

She lowered her gaze, swept over Shinichi Iwahashi's knees, and casually digressed, "There's something I want to ask you." ”

"What?"

"It's about ZARD. Watanabe Manyumi turned the conversation back to business.

Iwahashi Shinichi straightened his sitting posture and also showed his ability to do business, "What's wrong with ZARD?"

Back to business, the atmosphere in the car suddenly changed.

There are only emotionless drivers, no matter what atmosphere the people behind are, they are indifferent and drive silently.

"How are you going to arrange ZARD's partners?" said Watanabe, curious.

Shinichi Iwahashi wants a young man like BOLAN to cooperate with a mature and beautiful singer, and prepares Akina Nakamori with a variety of styles for ORIGINAL LOVE. So who will ZARD work with?

So far, he has discussed so many parties in various aspects, but he has never touched ZARD, leaving the band aside.

"It's not easy. Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "First of all, it's obvious that Sachiko-san is not suitable for sharing the stage with idols. ”

Her stiff dancing posture and shyness that can't cope with the camera, if she has become a big star, she will be praised by the audience for being kawaii once in a while.

But now at this stage when I am about to enter the ascending period, I can't get along with myself by playing like this. As for finding an idol with excellent singing skills to form a band with her, it will inevitably be a superfluous move.

"It doesn't seem appropriate to talk to the singer......"

Watanabe Manyumi pondered along with his words. As a result, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly flashed, "I thought of another idea." ”

"What?"

"We took ZARD out of the project. Shinichi Iwahashi said, "ZARD will not be involved in the production of the single. Of course, it is not to exclude them completely. ”

"Let all of you from ZARD provide songs to the participants of the project. "He doesn't sell it either, and gets straight to the point.

Watanabe Manyumi didn't expect him to say this, and reacted.

"ZARD's music style is actually nothing special, it's just a pop band that can sing in karaoke. However, their style on stage is more special. If you really want to talk about it, in a sense, it's a band centered on Sachiko-san. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe said, "Sachiko-san herself has too strong characteristics on stage, and I really want to collaborate, and I only sing in the studio, and if I perform live, no matter what singer I work with, the effect is not much better." ”

The effect is not good, it is better not to do it.

"Remembering a play is a play. Watanabe Manyumi shook her head after hearing his words.

However, what he said is not unreasonable.

"Let ZARD give songs to the idols who are participating in the project. "Iwahashi already has an idea in mind.

Sachiko Kamaike's beautiful appearance allows her to provide songs as a lyricist, and it is also a way to deepen the public's impression of her as a "talented and powerful beauty lead singer".

"You're the chief producer. Watanabe Manyumi said this, which is tantamount to acquiescence.

"But you're the boss. Shinichi Iwahashi made a joke of her.

Watanabe's joke is based on this word.

"However, by not allowing ZARD to participate directly in the project, I had another idea to make the band known. Iwahashi said.

"What?"

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't answer, but suddenly brought it up, "Manyumi-san, Kikuchi Momoko-san is a fan of ZARD." ”

“......”

Watanabe Manyumi was a little speechless, but she still followed his words first, "I remember the band's debut single, and I was promoted thanks to Kikuchi-san. ”

"That's right, thanks to her. ”

"Earlier, Kikuchi-san called the company and wanted to go to ZARD's concert. I gave the band a ticket to her office for next month's tour. ”

"This time, I came up with the idea of opening up the band's popularity, thanks to Kikuchi-san for her inspiration. "Iwahashi Shinichi didn't sell it just now, Iwaki is waiting here.

Watanabe Manyumi looked at his face and thought to herself, it is really unpleasant for a man to sell Guanzi.

......

As an artist, you don't need to report every day like ordinary office workers. When you have a job, you may leave home early in the morning and organize your own time when you don't have a job.

Momoko Kikuchi's recent work is not much compared to before, so she has more time for herself. There is less work, not because of the rush of the period after the New Year, but because the contract has not yet been decided.

Her contract with the firm will end at the end of September, but she has not yet decided to renew it. If the contract is not renewed, the firm will not dare to rush to take over the job for her, so as to avoid disputes over the work contract.

On the other hand, it is not certain that she will continue to work in the company, and the firm will not give her much investment.

The current office,A lot of wrong steps in the previous planning for her.,After the previous Yuejiu TV series was broadcast.,Although Kikuchi Momoko contributed to the TV series.,But she didn't get any benefit from it.。

took the great determination to transform to participate in the filming of the TV series, but did not receive the desired feedback. This made Kikuchi Momoko even less confident in the firm.

And since her debut, Kayunmi Iwasaki, the agent who has been taking care of her, has also been extremely enthusiastic about her during this time. Previously, Iwasaki Kayomi was quite reserved, but after knowing that Kikuchi Momoko was dragging on not renewing her contract with the firm, her idea of trying to persuade Kikuchi Momoko to be independent was revealed more bluntly.

Do you want to follow Kayomi Sang to become independent? Kikuchi Momoko is still a little wavering.

Recently, Momoko Kikuchi's most popular and favorite job has been shooting a commercial for a Fujifilm disposable camera.

In the afternoon, the manager of the office called Momoko Kikuchi.

"Peach-chan, GenZo sent the album and concert tickets. The agent asked her if she would deliver her things to her residence or if she would go to the office herself to get them.

Previously, when Kikuchi Momoko called Shinichi Iwahashi to ask for tickets, she had already greeted the agent. At this time, I received something from the record company, and the agent was not surprised.

Momoko Kikuchi received the call and was in a good mood.
