After getting closer to Akiko because of "Lovely Season", for Miho, watching the same TV series as Akiko was as important as the fact that she must watch this TV series every episode.
But Akiko left without saying goodbye and her whereabouts were unknown. Only Miho sat alone in front of the TV.
In the TV series, Kanon and Naoko separated from their best friends and started a new life respectively. Although they no longer see each other, their lives seem to be no longer related. However, the time they spent together gave them the strength they gained from each other.
, but stay in my heart and become a part of myself.
Huayin's theater troupe came to a standstill, and she felt that her inspiration was being worn away while performing in nightclubs day after day. When she stood in the empty theater, she found that she could not find her state on stage at all.
On the other side, although Naoko has realized her self-worth, her husband, who was not doing well at work, was consumed by jealousy and pressure and chose to break up with her.
In the preview of the next episode, Naoko only found out that she was pregnant after she broke up with her husband. If she wanted to give birth to a child, she would have to face several times the hardships. However, a new life was being conceived in her belly, and she could not give it up.
.
Naoko, a seemingly capable and independent urban woman, is actually so fragile that she can hardly withstand the blow of losing friendship and love. She is at a loss when faced with the sudden arrival of a little life. Such Naoko needs the vitality of Kanon and weeds to help her.
Bring strength.
Kanon, who goes all out for her dreams and is honest with her friends, is so pure that even if she is betrayed and loses friendship and love, she can still devote all her energy to the stage of her dreams. However, when her source of inspiration begins to dry up
, I also really miss Naoko’s delicate emotions but unthinking affirmation and support...
Such two people meet again when they have different frustrations, and the gears of fate turn again
After watching the new episode, Miho breathed a sigh of relief at the reunion of Kanon and Naoko, and then began to have new expectations for the reunion of these two people.
If Zhang Jiang was here.
Miho can't control her desire to express herself when it comes to TV dramas that are on the air, but Akiko is always able to accept them all and discuss them with her.
In the previous plot, when the two friends broke off, Miho and Akiko looked forward to their reconciliation. However, when Kanon and Naoko finally met again, Akiko's whereabouts were unknown.
Where is Zhang Jiang now, is he safe, has he been entangled by debt collectors, and what will happen to the loan... In Miho's mind, questions emerged one after another. But she could neither get answers nor
clue.
The friendship that had just begun came to an abrupt end.
No, that's not the case.
Miho shook her head vigorously and denied. Although Zhang Jiang didn't know where he was, Zhang Jiang was her friend. Even if she never had the chance to meet Zhang Jiang from now on, her friendship with Zhang Jiang would always be in her heart.
Even if she is the only one who thinks so.
…
The next day, Miho went to the beauty salon to get her hair cut.
On the day off, the beauty salon was busy with business. While waiting in the lounge, Miho picked up a women's magazine and flipped through it. When she turned to one of the interviews, her heart skipped a beat at the content of the title.
The subject of this interview is a lawyer named "Iwahashi", and the content is "about the increasing number of loan disputes nowadays."
Miho recalled in her mind that she couldn't remember whether the relevant content had been published in the usual magazines. However, her mind was fuzzy. This was because when she usually read magazines, she encountered serious titles that looked far away from her.
The content will be scrolled quickly.
If it hadn't been for the fact that she had just had some contact with the matter of micro-loans not long ago, she would probably have flipped through it quickly this time to find something relaxing to pass the time.
In the article, the Iwahashi lawyer introduced the birth and rise of small loans, and how ordinary consumers fell into the trap and were unable to extricate themselves. He also explained to readers various loan schemes and how to guide borrowers
Falling into a situation where everything is ruined and there is no recovery.
Most of the readers of magazines for young women are girls like Miho who can only read simple and interesting things and flip through things they are not interested in. Because of this, the explanations given by Attorney Iwahashi throughout the article are also very simple and easy to understand.
.
When Miho read that "the first loan company will introduce the borrower to the next loan company when the borrower is unable to repay, and let the debt continue to roll down in the next company," she remembered the man who used both soft and hard tactics on the phone to ask Zhang Zi to go to another loan company.
Debt collector for a company loan.
...What will happen if I continue to borrow it?
They will be overwhelmed by debts and become slaves of loan companies. They will be directed by one company to the next, and they will be directed to go to designated stores to buy some useless things such as tape recorders to pay off their debts, until all the debts are paid off.
Concentrate them into underground banks that are related to the Yakuza.
Miho read the content of this interview and felt chills all over her body.
"I just want to borrow 30,000 yen to tide over the difficulties."
Akiko's confession echoed in Miho's mind. While she was stunned, her turn came.
After getting her hair cut, Miho came out of the shop and walked onto the road, passing by the dense flow of people on the street. The fashionable and bright young men and women, even if the crowd was crowded, could immediately attract the attention of passers-by.
Zhang Jiang is such a girl. When she walks on the road, no one will ignore her beauty. Is Zhang Jiang still among the huge crowds on this holiday?
Or maybe Miho couldn't control herself from thinking, among this huge crowd, are there people in the same situation as Akiko?
Miho, who was ordinary when she was studying and followed the rules after working, saw another world through Zhangzi. Furthermore, she gained a different and more profound understanding of today's "best era" that everyone talks about.
In the evening, sitting at the low table, Miho chewed the penholder and considered words and sentences on the grid paper. After a while, she wrote her first sentence.
"In reality, would there be a friendship like Kanon and Naoko?"
After writing this sentence, she shook her head, balled up the manuscript paper, and threw it into the wastebasket.
"Akina-chan, I gained a friendship during the broadcast of "Lovely Season"... Although I just started to lose contact with her due to some reasons."
Miho sighed and threw this piece of manuscript paper into the wastebasket. Why did she write a letter to Akina-chan?
But, who should I write to? Miho's heart was filled with words that she didn't want to express but couldn't express.
Akiko left without saying goodbye, and her whereabouts were unknown. Miho was worried about her, and only then did she realize what a deep friendship he had formed with her during this short time together. Even though it was only a short two months.
However, after taking courage, the mackerel swam towards the tuna she longed for. Miho still blushes when recalling this encounter.
For her courage, and for Zhangzi opening her heart to her. Even if Zhangzi said that she was actually a mackerel dressed as a tuna, what was precious to Miho was the intention to swim towards her, and Zhangzi's willingness to be with her.
The desire to be friends.
"This is a story about mackerel and tuna..."
Miho picked up the pen for the third time and wrote this sentence on the manuscript paper.
The tip of the pen made a swishing sound, and soon, the text filled the page. Miho stopped and looked back at what she had written. At this time, she recalled the magazine she read in the beauty salon today.
Article.
At the end, the lawyer named Iwahashi reminded people who are in trouble not to forget the option of "legal consultation".
She felt annoyed in her heart as to why she had never noticed such content before.
Where is Zhang Jiang? Can Zhang Jiang see such content?
…
Magazines for young women have specially set aside special topics on loan disputes because the number of young women among loan victims is increasing rapidly.
Compared with men, it is more difficult for women to climb out after falling into the quagmire of borrowing. Not only that, female borrowers are very easy to enter the night world due to debt problems, and loan companies often use other people to target young and beautiful female borrowers.
Such a strategy.
At the dinner table, Chaozi talked about the increasing number of loan disputes in society recently. She recently received an interview invitation from a well-known magazine whose audience is young women, and made an easy-to-understand science popularization.
Talking about this matter, Hiroyuki Narita joked next to him: "Such content can be understood by elementary school students, but very few people will pay attention to it."
According to Narita Hiroyuki, loan victims underestimate themselves and bring their own fault. They neither deserve sympathy nor need to look at such people twice.
Shinichi Iwahashi added, "That's what I said, this kind of content is actually meant for specific people."
For most people, unless it is closely related to themselves, they will not pay attention to such heavy content. This is not only because it has nothing to do with them, but also stems from a kind of "it is impossible for them to need such knowledge."
Psychological comfort.
However, for people who are stuck in related problems, this kind of content may save their lives.
Iwahashi Shinichi said this, and Asako looked at him. Although there was no expression on her face, her eyes looked gentle. Nakamori Akina and Asako sat face to face, taking note of Asako's expression.
My boyfriend's sister seems a little unkind, but she doesn't seem that lukewarm towards Iwahashi Shinichi.
Such thoughts flashed through Nakamori Akina's mind. For a moment, her eyes met Asako's withdrawn gaze, and her heart tightened.
I was not so nervous when I went to meet Shinichi Iwahashi's parents, but facing Asako, my eldest aunt, Nakamori Akina was always a little nervous and uncomfortable, and she behaved like a lady all night long.
After Chaozi's eyes met hers, he greeted her with his eyes and immediately looked away.
On Sunday night, Shinichi Iwahashi brought Akina Nakamori to have a dinner date with his sister and brother-in-law.
On New Year's Day, I went home with my girlfriend to meet my parents. Hiroyuki Narita and Asako also made an appointment to meet and introduce each other.
Speaking of which, tonight's dinner date is the second or third time that the four of us have sat together to eat.
The couple Hiroyuki Narita and Asako were the first people to know about the relationship between Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, and they could not have done more than adequate psychological preparation for the story of "My Brother's Girlfriend is Topo Shida".
Although Hiroyuki Narita didn't agree with it when he first found out about it, and even introduced other partners to his brother-in-law... However, now that the difficulty was over, he naturally accepted it as nothing happened and readily agreed to Shinichi Iwahashi's proposal to meet.
This is the first time, like this time, it was an invitation from their side.
For Hiroyuki Narita, once the relationship between his brother-in-law and Akina Nakamori is no longer a time bomb, then it will be the best thing for his brother-in-law to date someone who is Kenyin's brand.
Asako, on the other hand, used to be lukewarm, but now she doesn't express any special likes or dislikes towards Akina Nakamori.
Compared to Narita Hiroyuki, who is talkative and casual, Asako is very reserved. Nakamori Akina has only met this legendary Todai elite couple a few times, and her initial imagination of Iwahashi Shinichi’s sister and brother-in-law was that they were “alien
"People". However, Hiroyuki Narita looks very easy-going and not like him at all. But Asako has the kind of super-elite style with a good mind and a calm heart that you see on TV.
In front of such people, Nakamori Akina felt timid.
If the other person wasn't Iwahashi Shinichi's sister...she probably wouldn't like such a person very much.
Dining with her sister and brother-in-law from the Tokyo University group, Akina Nakamori, a scumbag from elementary school, was an honest person. Apart from paying attention to her manners, she just listened to the three people chatting with her ears.
As a result, from just now, the three people have been chatting endlessly about the loan dispute.
Asako mentioned that the number of young women among loan victims has soared, and Hiroyuki Narita said: "Among young men and office workers, there are also many people who are involved in loan disputes."
Chaozi's tone was matter-of-fact, "In times like this, no group can be spared."
Young women want to catch up with the trend, but young men also try to make a fool of themselves, especially office workers. If someone takes a step of one hundred meters, the people behind him must keep up with that one hundred meters, or even lead by another hundred meters.
rice.
Urban single men and women are not the ones who suffer the most from such a loan vortex. The most miserable ones are the office workers with families. Once they fall into a desperate situation, their wives and children will be separated, and their families will be destroyed.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked Asako, "After my sister accepted the interview, did she receive any relevant consultation requests?"
Chaozi replied, "The magazine seems to be published this Friday." She thought for a while, "However, since this year, there have been a lot more people in the office asking related questions."
"No wonder there is such an interview invitation." Shinichi Iwahashi expressed understanding.
He thought of the newspaper he had read and mentioned, "This season, the number of foreclosures in Tokyo has increased significantly compared to the previous season."
Listening to him talk about this, Narita Hiroyuki lamented jokingly, "In the area where our home is located, the price of land has dropped by 200,000 yen per square meter compared to when we bought it."
Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed and said a bit casually: "After one more season, it might drop to half a million yen."
Hiroyuki Narita made an expression as if he had been punched, "It's really incredible." He joked about his brother-in-law, "Our Shinichi-kun is more iron-fisted than the Mie President of the Bank of Japan."
