Chapter 35: Reunion and Rubbing Shoulders

The next afternoon, Qiu Yang flew to Fukuoka Airport to complete the task given to him by Shinoda Aoma.

Upon arrival in Fukuoka, he was greeted by a group of local Shikashima leaders and immediately took a ferry to the island.

"Hello Qiu San, I am the head of Shikashima's external propaganda department, and my name is Miyagawa Issei."

The leader, a middle-aged man in his thirties, was very capable and introduced himself to Qiu Yang.

"Qiu Sang, let's give you a general introduction to the situation on our island first."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

……

In Miyagawa-san's description, Qiu Yang gradually gained a basic understanding of Shikajima.

- Shikashima Island, located in Hakata Bay, is a small island connected to the main island by a narrow road, and there are not many people living on the island, and a large area of buildings and people is concentrated in the southeast corner, while the rest of the island is surrounded by green mountains. Tourism is dominated by shrine history and seaside scenery, and in general, all walks of life are tepid.

This is also the purpose of Qiu Yang's visit, this project is about how to expand the island's external attraction and influence by creating an IP.

After a thirty-minute ferry, Qiu Yang set foot on the land of Shikashima.

After stepping off the ferry, he felt the warm winter style of the island with some hindsight, Qiu Yang took off his coat and sweater in a row, and only wore a shirt, so that he could somewhat adapt to the warm air that was constantly blowing in his face. Looking around, there is an endless blue behind you and lush mountains in front of you.

- It's also a good idea to stay here for a while.

Qiu Yang had already begun to look forward to his stay here when the project was built, but now, he was just a passer-by in a hurry.

"When I come back from Hokkaido, I can really come here to stay here and calm my mind for a while." He thought to himself.

After settling his luggage, he was taken by Miyagawa to the administrative office in Shikashima for a small seminar.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Really, why hasn't Yuxi's little girl come yet, she obviously said not to let the guests wait, but she was still late. ”

After everyone was seated, Minister Miyagawa looked at his phone frequently, as if he was waiting for something very important.

Sensing Qiu Yang's puzzled gaze, Miyagawa Issei explained with some embarrassment:

"Qiu Sang, that's right. A girl is going to come over in a moment, she may be one of the keys to our creation activity, but the child is not sensible and late, I am already urging, sorry. ”

Before the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the conference room.

"Ahhhhh

The door was pushed open by a small figure, and it was a little girl who was a little beautiful and cute, bowing and apologizing as soon as she entered the door.

"β€”I arranged for a friend to stay at my house today, and I was delayed for some time! I'm sorry, teacher! ”

I don't know why, Qiu Yang felt as if he had seen this girl somewhere.

- Is it from the idol group? Qiu Yang's recent acquaintance with girls is only the source of Saito Asuka's colleague, but does it really matter if this height idol is?

Before he could remember, the girl raised her face, and suddenly there was a shocked expression.

"-How can it be you!"

……

……

And Tian Yuki is also the hometown that only returned today, with Saito Asuka.

In fact, after that night, Little Bird didn't remember that she had promised her to accompany her to Shikashima.

However, Asuka's predecessors still couldn't resist her and begged for companionship after a lot of stubborn fighting. In addition, the little bird herself really wanted to relax in a more isolated place, so she followed her.

It took a lot of time to settle the birds to live in their own homes. And Tian Youxi suddenly slapped his head - it's broken! I also made an appointment with Uncle Miyagawa today, and I want to discuss the development plan of my hometown with a teacher from Tokyo!

"Asuka-chan! I'm going to be late for some business! You can rest for a while, and you can go out and hang out if you want! ”

Throwing down a word of advice, Yoda hurried to the administrative office.

Hurrying to the administrative center, she apologized in a bit of a panic.

- If I'm late, will I leave a bad impression on the teachers in Tokyo about the whole of Shikajima, and I won't be a big sinner in the development of Shikajima!

But when she looked up and saw the true face of the "teacher", she was directly stunned, and her questions blurted out.

- How could it be him!

"Ah, I'm sorry." Seeing that the other party was a little frightened by her, she felt a little rude, covered her mouth and apologized, but the storm in her heart did not stop:

What's the situation, isn't this the big guy at that airport? Is he so powerful?

But seeing his confused face that he didn't recognize himself and was thinking about it carefully, she was suddenly a little embarrassed - she covered herself tightly that day, so naturally she didn't remember herself.

"It's me who recognized the wrong person, I'm sorry......" and Tian Youxi covered it up a little helplessly.

"When I first met, I was a member of the idol group Nogizaka 46 and Yuki Tada." As he spoke, he habitually made a team gesture.

"Ahh The big man in front of him also seemed to suddenly realize, "I know you, I'm also your fan!" ”

- It's because the fans don't recognize me yet, and twice! Who to fool! She secretly slandered in her heart.

Then I listened to him introduce himself:

"Hello Tian Sang, my name is Qiu Yang, I am an international student from China, and I am currently studying at the Faculty of Urban Engineering of the University of Tokyo. In the future, I will also be responsible for docking this project, so please advise. ”

Seeing him bow politely, Tian Yuxi was even more sure that he was the big man she had met at the airport - this kind of politeness that made her feel very unnatural, between kindness and a sense of distance, no one but him had ever let her experience it anymore.

It's just that the syllable "Qiu Yang", how does it feel so familiar......

He Tian Yuxi shook his head, only thinking that it was his own delusion.

……

After the small hiccup at the beginning, the meeting also got on track.

"I understand, in short, I hope to use Yoda-chan as the tourism spokesperson and attraction core to create a series of fan-oriented travel routes? Sony is also involved in this series of work, right? ”

After listening to Miyagawa and Yoda's thoughts, Qiu Yang also thought quickly - in fact, to put it bluntly, Shikashima's idea is similar to the idea of the idol industry, which is to squeeze the surplus value as much as possible before the little idol graduates.

It's just that the idol industry is based on the dreams of young girls, and Shikashima's strategy is to take advantage of Yuki Tada's "sense of hometown honor".

Seeing that He Tian was still nodding frequently, Qiu Yang felt a little upset for her in his heart. Perhaps because of Asuka Saito, he subconsciously put himself in her position.

"I don't think I know enough about Shikashima, so why don't I get to know it first and then finalize more contract details with you?"

There are things you don't want to do, and it's shameful to run away, but it's always useful.

"That's right, Yuxi-chan, you go shopping with Qiu Sang." Miyagawa Issei narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiu Yang, and gently patted Yoda Yuxi's head, "You have to entertain a good teacher." ”

Qiu Yang felt sick to his stomach for no reason, he knew that Miyagawa's amiable attitude was not aimed at him, but at the investment money behind his own project.

- If he is "that kind of person", to what extent can he cater to it? How far can Sony indulge?

Seeing that Tian Youxi nodded obediently and immediately got up to show him the way, he suddenly felt a little distressed.

……

……

"This is our Xiangyin Temple, which is a place of daily worship."

Along the way, he and Tian Yuxi gradually relaxed from the initial tension. Especially after she knew that the so-called "Teacher Qiu" was not much older than her, her hands and feet began to shake around, and she took a free little jump.

"My house is near here, and I used to come here to play when I was a kid."

- You don't need to tell me! Are the little girls in your group so wary of idols?

Qiu Yang gradually became intimate when he heard what she said, perhaps because of his own experience, and subconsciously felt a little hairy.

However, he really didn't know that Tian Youxi had a more friendly impression of him as early as when he first came to Neon.

I was a little tired from walking, and I happened to pass by the only convenience store chain on the island.

"I'm going to buy something to drink, do you want Yoda-chan?" Perhaps it was because of his petite body that Qiu Yang subconsciously regarded Tian Youxi as a child, and his title became more intimate unconsciously, like coaxing his little sister.

"I don't need to! I'll just wait for Qiu Yangsang outside. ”

Yoda Yuki is a little red-facedβ€”what do you mean! One moment it looks very distant, and the other time it is so intimate, the cultural differences are really incomprehensible!

While waiting for Qiu Yang at the door, she stood boredly in front of the door, fiddling with the ferns on the side of the street, gently fanning the wind like a fan.

"Ahh You slow down......"

- Huh? How could there be a voice from an Asuka senpai?

He Tian Yuxi turned his head to look over, and saw that the little bird was holding his goat Quan Zang with great difficulty, and stumbled over.

"Asu Kasan, what a coincidence, you're walking the power for me!" Beckoned to Tian Youxi.

"Yes, I just heard from Yoda sauce before, and I want to experience it for myself today."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance by his juniors, Asuka Saito blushed a little - it seems that Shikashima is indeed small, and it was met by chance when he walked around.

"What about Yoda-chan, what are you doing here?" The bird casually lifted its snort.

"I'm accompanying the teachers from Tokyo on an inspection, and it seems that we are going to do some kind of development project."

After thinking about it with Tian Youxi, let's call Qiu Yang a teacher, after all, he seems to be really powerful.

"Now the teacher is shopping inside, and I'm waiting for him at the door."

"Teacher?" Asuka Saito poked out the bird's head a little curiously, and looked casually into the convenience store, perhaps because it was blocked by the shelves, and there was no "teacher" in sight.

Quan Zang on the side suddenly made another effort, and the little bird took a few more steps.

"Then I won't bother Yoda-chan! I'll go first! We'll see you in the evening! ”

Asuka Saito waved his hand effortlessly, and disappeared on the other side of the road.

……

After a while, Qiu Yang, who came out of the convenience store, saw that he Tian Youxi was looking at the side of the road, and asked a little strangely.

"What's wrong with Yoda-chan?"

"Ahh He Tian Youxi came back to his senses, "Just now my friend happened to pass by, and she recently lived at my house. ”

"Oh......" Qiu Yang originally asked casually, not paying much attention.

After taking a sip of the chilled Calpis, he felt a hint of coolness that shouldn't belong to the season.

"β€”Shall we go ahead and go over there?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the road.
