Although unlike Ning Weimin, who has been busy recently, he is exhausted and at the same time in an emotional whirlpool, and has to face a dilemma of emotional tests.

But to be honest, Keiko Matsumoto's condition during this period is not considered good.

Busy is one thing, tired is another.

The key is that Matsumoto Keiko was also experiencing emotional torture and suffering after not being able to find a chance to meet Ning Weimin again for a long time.

You should know that there is a Zeigarnik effect in psychology, which means that people are born with a driving force to do things from beginning to end.

This principle states that the reason why people forget completed work is because the motivation to complete it has been fully satisfied.

If the work is not completed, this same motive will make a lasting impression.

Also, if this principle is brought into the love relationship between men and women, the principles are the same.

For example, if one party wants the other party to fill their mind with themselves, then they must create an unfinished memory point for the other party.

Just like when two people are having a great time chatting, you take the initiative to retreat and make an appointment with the other person to continue chatting tomorrow.

In this case, after separation, the other party will continue to think about you and the chat situation and content of tomorrow.

This is learning and applying it flexibly, taking advantage of the Zeigarnik effect that people will never forget about unfinished tasks in picking up girls.

Speaking of which, Ning Weimin has almost disappeared from Matsumoto Keiko's life since he last watched the sunset at the beach.

And there is almost no news.

Although he did it unintentionally, the psychological effect it had on Matsumoto Keiko was obvious.

Originally, the two of them got along smoothly at the beach, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Moreover, through the game, their fingers were connected, and they completed intimate physical contact for the first time, bringing the two people closer to each other.

The next step should be a great opportunity for emotional development and further increase of intimate contact.

But just because the sound of the pager stopped everything, this supposed sweet satisfaction and rhythm were completely disrupted.

After Matsumoto Keiko responded to the call, she had to end the date early because she was concerned about her mother.

Although this is human nature, due to limitations of objective conditions, it will be difficult for the two of them to find opportunities to meet and be alone in the short term.

How could this not make Matsumoto Keiko still unfinished, thinking about it day and night, and feeling deeply regretful?

In particular, the Zeigarnik effect has the strongest effect on responsible people.

A female star like Matsumoto Keiko who has a distinct personality and is able to study and study for a long-term goal and polish her acting skills all year round.

From a certain perspective, her pursuit and persistence in career can actually be regarded as a kind of paranoia.

A sense of responsibility that exceeds that of ordinary people is completely written in genes, and naturally the impact of this is greater than that of ordinary people.

It can even be said that this psychological effect is the Achilles heel of love for people like them.

As long as you don't fall in love, forget about it. Once you fall in love with someone, you will never be able to extricate yourself, and you may never be able to get over it for the rest of your life.

In fact, even though they were separated by several days, Ning Weimin also had a phone call with Matsumoto Keiko, and they talked for at least half an hour.

But this still cannot be compared with real face-to-face contact, and it cannot satisfy Matsumoto Keiko's emotional hunger at all.

But later on, because both of them were busy with important things and their relationship needed to be kept secret, the two of them couldn't spend any time together.

In almost a week, Matsumoto Keiko will be able to get a general idea of ​​Ning Weimin's situation just through his message at Huiwentang Bookstore. How can this not be worrying?

Originally, Keiko Matsumoto was able to endure it because she believed that good things are hard to come by, and she felt that no matter how busy Ning Weimin was, it would not last long.

He would always find a way to find time to contact him at a convenient time.

But things backfired. Not only did Ning Weimin not take the initiative to contact her again, but he completely lost track and news of her.

Even when she called the bookstore to inquire about it, the people in the store said they hadn't seen Ning Weimin for several days and there were no new messages.

Then the loneliness of lovesickness and the feeling of not getting what she wanted began to make her more and more painful.

On the other hand, Matsumoto Keiko herself was looking forward to Ning Weimin and was fully prepared to meet him.

In order to spend more time together in the future, in order to make Ning Weimin's life in Tokyo easier.

Matsumoto Keiko took the initiative to act as the guarantor, and did not hesitate to take advantage of the favor and contacted the president of the record company that released her album.

For Ning Weimin, he found a job at a record company that didn't require interviews and guaranteed income despite droughts and floods.

The main job content is to manage materials and organize the music library, which is similar to that of a librarian and is very comfortable.

Including coffee, meals, and rest time, you only need to work six hours a day, but your salary is 450,000.

Therefore, although it is not a formal job, there is no annual leave and summer and winter bonuses.

But for Ning Weimin, a foreigner, being able to get this part-time job with a stable income is really enough to make most Japanese envious.

After all, the monthly salary of newly graduated college students in Japan these days is only a few hundred thousand yen.

In most industries, the monthly salary of a 30-year-old senior employee is only about 300,000 yuan.

Don’t forget, Director Taniguchi of Pierre Cardin Company’s monthly salary is only about this amount.

But he is a permanent employee, and how many years of hard work have he had to endure before?

In addition, because she deeply felt the pain caused by inconvenient communication, Matsumoto Keiko sent someone to NTT to apply for another number using her own identity, and bought a top-notch pager to give to Ning Weimin.

Even in her busy schedule, she even went to Ginza and spent her little rest time carefully browsing some well-known international men's clothing stores and selected some clothing brands in advance.

I am going to buy some decent clothes for Ning Weimin as a Christmas gift in a few days.

In this way, she could temporarily relieve her emotional uneasiness and let her spirit be immersed in a wonderful sense of pleasure.

It is fresh and exciting, warm and soft, can be expected, and full of unknowns.

But the problem is, when everything is ready, Ning Weimin is still missing and has not appeared.

At this moment, Matsumoto Keiko really couldn't bear it anymore.

The flame of longing burned day and night, making her feel the painful test she had not experienced for a long time.

Just like when the film in which she starred in her first important role was released, she was worried about whether the audience would like it and the critics' reaction, and she lay awake until the early hours of the morning.

He even had some random thoughts and worried about Ning Weimin's safety.

After all, for Ning Weimin, Japan is a foreign country, a capitalist country that he is not accustomed to.

Moreover, in Tokyo, Ning Weimin had no family or friends around him.

So in Matsumoto Keiko's heart, she thought that Ning Weimin might encounter some trouble that was difficult to resolve.

So even if I understand the truth that good things take a long time, I have reached the age where I can deal with most things calmly.

Matsumoto Keiko was unable to offset her emotional anxiety and became in a trance.

During this period, Matsumoto Keiko was also invited to participate in the year-end dinner of NHK TV station and Shochiku Pictures' "year-end party".

Although it is a grand event with a large number of guests and celebrities, it is a good opportunity for yourself to gain fame in your career.

But she still felt uninterested and couldn't cheer up.

And the more lively and flashy the occasion, the more bored she became and the more she missed the person she wanted to see.

In her eyes, these guests are nothing more than three types of people - those who want to be with beautiful women, those who want to be with powerful people, and those who want to make a lot of money.

Everything is a hypocritical and boring utilitarian game. Everyone at the banquet table is a clique, a sycophant, and a speculator...

Therefore, she only felt a kind of inner exhaustion and indescribable disgust.

She was helplessly tired of coping, forcing a smile on her face, but her thoughts were completely forgotten, and in fact she was not interested in anything.

So much so that there was an extremely disrespectful scene at Matsumoto Movies' dinner party.

At that time, in front of media reporters, President Omoto and Director Fukasaku of Shochiku Pictures were introducing the preparations for next year's key project - the movie "The Man in the House on Fire".

Suddenly, the two people changed the topic and invited Matsumoto Keiko in public, hoping that she would agree to participate in the filming of this movie despite never giving an accurate reply.

Although this move has the meaning of "kidnapping by public opinion", it also proves that Keiko Matsumoto is valued and gives her enough face.

However, Keiko Matsumoto's own response can be described as vague and rather perfunctory.

Not positive at all, not in the mood at all.

This made President Omoto and director Kinji Fukasaku a bit unable to get off the stage.

So the next day, this scene became the entertainment news.

Some media have speculated that Matsumoto Keiko has a disagreement with the president and director of Shochiku Pictures and may leave Shochiku Pictures.

Fortunately, Matsumoto Keiko's contract agent, Akira Okamoto, was very experienced. He mobilized his contacts and tried every means to put out the fire, carried out effective public relations in a timely manner, and controlled the direction of public opinion.

This prevented the incident from getting worse and becoming an out-of-control storm.

Afterwards, Mitsuru Watanabe repeatedly persuaded Keiko Matsumoto to apologize to President Omoto and agree to participate in the show in order to make up for her mistake.

However, the instigator, Matsumoto Keiko, no longer had the energy to care about this matter.

Her thoughts were entirely focused on Ning Weimin, and as a result, she became distracted and depressed, and could not even attend rehearsals.

I had no choice but to take a day off from NHK on the grounds of feeling unwell and hide at home to adjust.

But it was at this time that Ning Weimin finally dialed Matsumoto Keiko's pager and stayed by the phone, patiently waiting for her reply.
