Chapter 9 The Illustrated Guide to the Beauty Monk

After Yasuko Okubo made her wish, she asked Aoyama again, "Master Aoyama, is my insomnia completely cured this time, or do I need to use a few more soothing incense sticks to consolidate the effect?"

Faced with Yasuko Okubo's question, Aoyama replied with some embarrassment: "This, Mrs. Okubo, to be honest, this is the first time that I recommend the use of soothing incense to insomniacs, so I don't know whether it can be eradicated by one tranquilizer or if you need to use it many times, otherwise, you can take back a few more as a backup, and if you have insomnia again, you can order one." ā€

In fact, Aoyama was telling the truth, he really didn't know how many times it would take to eradicate insomnia, so he planned to be generous this time and directly use Yasuko Okubo as an experiment.

However, Okubo Yasuko refused to take his things for nothing, and directly took out ten 10,000 yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to Aoyama and said: "How can I take your things for nothing, Master Aoyama, so let's do it, according to yesterday's price, 10,000 pieces, you can get me another ten sticks." ā€

Because he had already planned to use Taiko Okubo for experiments, Aoyama would not take her money anyway, so he hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "This is definitely not good, it has not eradicated your disease, how can I be embarrassed to take such a high incense money from you." ā€

Hearing Aoyama say this, Yasuko Okubo couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Aoyama is really kind-hearted, it seems that today's "Illustrated Guide to Beautiful Monks", I must find a way to make you selected!"

Seeing that Aoyama and Mariko both had expressions of disbelief, Yasuko Okubo explained: "Don't think I'm talking big, I'm the editor-in-chief of "MORE", and one of the judges of "The Beauty Monk Illustrated" in recent years, although I don't dare to say that Master Aoyama will definitely be able to enter the top 40, but it is absolutely no problem to enter the fashion show to show it."

Hearing this explanation, Aoyama knew why Yasuko Okubo dared to say such a thing, you must know that "MORE" is an extremely well-known fashion magazine in Japan, so it is normal to become a judge of "Beauty Monk Illustrated". At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Aoyama's mind: Hey, it seems that Mariko in her previous life became the first batch of members of AKB to make money by becoming the exclusive model of "MORE", and even when everyone else had to take the bus, she already had her own nanny car.

Thinking of this, Aoyama hurriedly said: "Mrs. Okubo, I personally don't care much about these false names, if you really want to help me, then I don't know if you can give this opportunity to this Miss Mariko Shinoda ." ā€

As he spoke, Aoyama pushed Mariko in front of him and continued to introduce: "Don't look at Miss Shinoda helping out with me now, but this is just her part-time job, her main job is a member of an idol group, which is AKB48 in Akihabara. She is also very eloquent, and if you are willing to give her a chance in your magazine, I am sure she will surprise you!"

"Mariko Shinoda is such a familiar name, I think I've heard it somewhere. Yasuko Okubo muttered to herself, and it took her a long time before she remembered: "Ah, I remember, you're an artist from SOMEDAY, right? Your boss sent me your information a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." ā€

Okubo Yasuko refers to the agency of Mariko Shinoda in SOMEDAY, although this company is not big, and there are less than ten artists under it, but the energy of this company is very large, first of all, his boss is the agent of the Japanese ace artist Fujiwara Norika, and he has a wide range of contacts in the circle; and SOMEDAY also belongs to Japan's strongest brokerage group "Burning Production" , so there are a lot of resources and opportunities for its artists, which is why Mariko Shinoda became the first member of the group, and even many people learned about AKB through her at that time.

Seeing Mariko and Aoyama standing together, one handsome, the other tall and gentle, and both of the same age, Yasuko Okubo couldn't help but quip: "You two can't be dating, right?"

Hearing Yasuko Okubo say this, Mariko Shinoda hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I am good friends with Master Aoyama, and I am working part-time with him now." ā€

Yasuko Okubo said disapprerovingly: "Don't be so nervous, I know Yasushi Akimoto's temper, none of his female artists can fall in love openly, but I'm really optimistic about you." ā€

However, when she saw Mariko's embarrassed face, she took the initiative to change the topic and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, then for the sake of your boss and Master Aoyama, I'll give you a chance, our "MORE" is about to launch a special feature for newcomers in the workplace recently, you can come and try it out tomorrow!"

"Y-You're telling the truth?I—I can audition for "MORE" tomorrow?" asked Mariko, overjoyed, in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, how dare I lie in front of the Bodhisattva. Yasuko Okubo pretended to be displeased, and then reassured: "Okay, you can prepare well, I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow!"

After Taiko Okubo left, Mariko was still very excited, and said excitedly to Aoyama: "Master Aoyama, I—I can audition for "MORE" tomorrow, oh my God! I'm not dreaming, am I?!"

Looking at Mariko's excited look, Qingshan also felt very happy, so he said with a smile: "Of course it's not a dream, I told you before, you will turn over this year, now you see, isn't this opportunity coming." ā€

"Master Qingshan, you gave me this opportunity, I, I must thank you well!" Mariko still couldn't hide her excitement.

"Oh, how are you going to thank me?" asked Aoyama, a little unkindly.

Probably understanding the meaning of Qingshan's words, Mariko couldn't help blushing, and then forced herself to calm down and said, "I, I'll cook a meal for you, my cooking is delicious." ā€

Although this way of thanking was different from what Aoyama expected, Aoyama nodded and replied, "Okay, then I'll see the craftsmanship of Mariko." But then he suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, you don't want to make the staple food later, let me show my hand too!"
