Chapter 22: The Price of Dreams
Fujishima almost vomited blood from the internal injury that Aoyama couldn't say, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed his tone as calmly as possible, and said: "Master Aoyama, you can't be so selfish, how many patients will be solved by your method once it is made public, you don't know how painful insomnia is, one of the most serious patients I have seen has not slept for several years, and the whole person is tortured and is about to collapse......"
Before Fujishima could finish chattering, Aoyama interrupted: "Mr. Fujishima, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean that it is not me who relieves insomnia, and it is not all the effect of that soothing incense. Speaking of this, Aoyama pointed to the Guanyin statue in the middle of the main hall and said: "What really works is the Guanyin Bodhisattva who is compassionate and compassionate, and only her boundless magic can relieve these pains that plague our world." ”
Probably angry by Aoyama's shirk, Fujishimaguchi said without hesitation: "You said that it was this Buddha statue that cured insomnia? How is this possible? Now is the age of science and technology, how can you still believe in such ethereal things...... "Halfway through speaking, he himself suddenly realized, how can I say this in front of a monk? Let a monk not believe in the Buddha and Bodhisattva but believe in science, this, this seems to be a bit of a fight.
Fortunately, Qingshan himself was a fake monk, so he didn't get angry, but just turned around and said coldly: "Mr. Fujishima, the so-called Tao is not the same, you better go, a place like a temple is not suitable for people like you!"
Fujishima, who knew that he was speechless, had to reluctantly withdraw from the Hongfa Temple, but after returning to the hospital, he reported the case to the hospital management, hoping that the hospital could come forward to investigate the secret of the Hongfa Temple and Anshen incense, and finally because the economic benefits were not large, the high-level vetoed it, and Aoyama, who learned about it afterwards, was afraid of it, and secretly said that fortunately he was cured of insomnia, a disease with a more serious idealistic view, and if it was cancer, it was estimated that his small Hongfa Temple would have to be demolished by all forces.
Just when Aoyama was proud to take Fujishima away, he didn't know that bad news about him was happening. At this time, Mariko Shinoda was sitting in Yasuko Okubo's office, with a worried face mixed with mixed mixed emotions of anticipation in her heart, because today is the statistical date of the release of the last special, and it is also an important turning point that determines her fate.
Taiko Okubo stared at Mariko for a long time, and then smiled and said: "Mariko, I'll tell you good news, the sales of the last special episode of "Workplace OL Newcomer" were very good, up three percentage points from the previous special, so the board of directors decided to give you an exclusive model contract according to the previous promise. ”
Hearing this good news,Mariko was so excited that she almost fainted.,You must know that this is the exclusive model contract of "MORE".,How many professional models can't get this contract if they want to.,Now I actually let myself be such an amateur model who is halfway out of the house to get it.,With this, it's equivalent to having a fixed and generous income.,And you can get a lot of opportunities for development.,It seems that Hongsuke is right.,I'm really going to turn over.。
After being excited, Mariko realized that she was still sitting in the boss's office at this time, so she thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you Mrs. Okubo and thank you to the board of directors, I will definitely work hard!"
"I'm very relieved about this, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were a very hardworking and down-to-earth girl. Yasuko Okubo nodded in approval, and then changed the conversation: "But there is one thing that makes me very uneasy. ”
Hearing Okubo's words, Mariko hurriedly asked, "Ah, what is the matter? Don't worry, as long as you say it, I will definitely change it!"
Taiko Okubo first glanced at Mariko deeply, and then said slowly: "Actually, this requirement is very simple and normal, I believe that Yasuya Akimoto must have asked you to do so, that is, in order to ensure that the resources invested by the company in you will not be wasted, so you are required not to have a boyfriend during the term of the contract, at least not to be known by the public, and as far as I know, your relationship with Master Aoyama seems to be very close, of course, You also know that I am very good friends with Master Aoyama, so I don't mean to beat the mandarin ducks, but the system is the system, so in the future, it is best for you not to let people, especially fans and the media, know that you often go to Hongfa Temple, and it is best not to contact Master Aoyama in public, do you understand?"
Although Mariko also knows that this is the most basic requirement for being an idol artist in RB, although the purpose of her relationship with Hongsuke is not pure, but now when she hears Taiko Okubo say this, her heart is still uncomfortable, but for the sake of her dream, she still forced herself to remain calm, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mrs. Okubo, I, I will definitely pay attention, and I will not let fans and the media misunderstand my relationship with Hongsuke, oh, no, it is the relationship with Master Aoyama." ”
Listening to Mariko's words, Taiko Okubo nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good." Then he instructed: "Okay, I'll give you a day off today, deal with your personal affairs, and then come to the company tomorrow to sign a contract and receive the corresponding benefits." ”
That night, in the izakaya where Mariko confessed to Aoyama, Mariko cried so much that she threw herself into Aoyama's arms and sobbed: "I'm sorry, Kosuke, I, I know I'm too selfish to do this, but, this is really my dream, I've been holding on for this opportunity for more than three years, I, I'm really reluctant to give up." ”
In fact, since the relationship with Mariko was confirmed, Aoyama thought that sooner or later there would be such a day, and he never thought of interfering with Mariko's dreams and work, if she couldn't become the radiant queen in the future, then would she still be Mariko Shinoda? So Aoyama patted her on the back and comforted: "I understand, I understand, don't worry, I will support you, after all, everyone has the right to pursue their dreams and careers, as your boyfriend, he can only be a strong backing for you to move forward, and will never hold you back!"
"Kosuke, you've been so good to me. Mariko said movingly, and then took the initiative to send a fragrant kiss again, Qingshan, who had long longed for this moment, was naturally not polite, but just when he was about to reach the sword, Mariko shyly refused: "Hongsuke, don't, don't do it here?"
