Ayumi Hamasaki, who was still a child, already had an indisputable tone in her tone and demeanor that even adults could not refute. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her and was a little stunned by her for a moment.
Rather than being overwhelmed by Hamasaki Ayumi's aura, it is rather incredible that such an aura appears in a girl under the age of fourteen.
Such a girl is indeed different. Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself, couldn't help but smile and replied: "Now I know."
Hamasaki was a little curious and asked: "What do you know?"
It was obviously she who announced to Shinichi Iwahashi that she had participated in the TV series. However, Hamasaki intuitively felt that Shinichi Iwahashi's words did not mean that he knew about her participation in the TV series.
Iwahashi Shinichi answered her, "I know, Ayu-chan is a person who does what she says."
When they first met, Ayumi Hamasaki did say in front of him that she would become an actress in the future. When the old talk was mentioned again, Ayumi Hamasaki suddenly showed a hint of girlish demeanor. But she knew in her heart,
It was not the shyness caused by having an old score settled, but the satisfaction of being trusted.
It was rare to see such an expression on the face of the precocious Ayumi Hamasaki. Such an expression disappeared in an instant. She stood up and said calmly: "Now, I have said what I want to say, and I am going back.
"
She was obviously motivated to come here by her competitive spirit because she didn't want Shinichi Iwahashi to hear her sing, but when they actually met her, she never mentioned singing.
I finally came here and waited for a long time just to say this. A precocious girl, when she becomes stubborn, she has a childishness that is even younger than her current age.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't say anything and asked her, "Where do you live now?"
Ayumi Hamasaki replied: "This time, I came with Sanji, the president of the firm. I will go back to Fukuoka the day after tomorrow." She looked at Shinichi Iwahashi and realized that he was not interested in her signing the contract with the firm.
I don't find it strange.
Iwahashi Shen nodded, seemingly turning a deaf ear, "Where do you live? I'll send a driver to take you back."
"If you can find me here, you can go back on your own." Hamasaki said without thinking.
Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by her words, "That's right." He thought for a while and told her, "If you can go back by yourself, then you can come here by yourself no matter what time or situation."
"Anytime and under any circumstances, is it okay?" Hamasaki Ayumi raised his head, his eyes looking willful and sharp.
She seemed to be asking for a guarantee. A guarantee that no matter how willful she was, Iwahashi Shinichi would treat her gently and tolerantly.
Iwahashi Shinichi responded, "You are welcome to come anytime."
Ayumi Hamasaki shook her head, "It's more than just that." She murmured in a low voice, as if she had taken a step back, and spread out her palms. In her palms, there were dark ink stains.
While waiting for Shinichi Iwahashi, the receptionist brought her drinks, desserts, and wet towels. Hamasaki didn't want anyone to know the secret in his palm, so he neither wiped his hands nor touched the dessert.
The transfer method written on the palm of her hand melted with sweat, as if Hamasaki's retreat was cut off. When she stood in front of the GENZO building, she had no other choice but to move forward and walk towards Shinichi Iwahashi.
…
In the end, she still told Shinichi Iwahashi where she lived.
Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the phone and called the information desk himself to confirm the transfer route. Hamasaki sat in the small living room and looked at the shadow of Iwahashi Shinichi reflected on the glass.
After the phone call, Shinichi Iwahashi walked in and handed her the map.
Hamasaki took it and it was Shinichi Iwahashi's business card. The transfer route was written on the back of the business card. She turned over the business card and saw that Shinichi Iwahashi's title on it was no longer "President".
Ayumi Hamasaki accepted the business card, and when he was leaving, he remembered to congratulate him, "Congratulations on your marriage."... At the beginning, this president-san was still pretending to be nothing to do with Akina-san in front of her as if nothing had happened.
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little surprised, but soon relieved. Remembering that Ayumi Hamasaki was a fan of Akina Nakamori, he said to her, "How about letting you and Akina-san meet if you have a chance?"
Ayumi Hamasaki suddenly spoke righteously and warned: "Don't take advantage of Akina-san's fame."
Iwahashi Shinichi made her choke for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing. He joked, "As expected of Akina-san's fans, he thinks of her in everything."
"You yourself said that you like Akina-san." Hamasaki found the right opportunity and said sarcastically.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed again.
Walking out of the building where GENZO Records is located, Hamasaki held up the business card map with the transfer route in front of his eyes. Next time he comes to Tokyo and stays in the same place, he can continue to use the same transfer route and find Iwabashi.
Shinichi.
But then she thought, maybe the next time she comes to Tokyo, she will change to another place to live. By then, the transfer map given by Shinichi Iwahashi will be of no use.
However, if you can find it on your own for the first time, you can find it again no matter when or where you are.
That president, Sang, said she was welcome at any time.
In this case, Hamasaki Ayumi can come here by himself anytime.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi was no longer the president long ago, she still subconsciously called him "that president-san" in her heart. When they first met, the impression of this president-san was deeply etched in her mind. This
President Sang was her original imagination of Tokyo. And when she came to Tokyo and got close to this imagination, it did not fail.
Next time, why would I come to Tokyo? Next time, what would I say to see Shinichi Iwahashi? Hamasaki imagined it unconsciously in his mind.
Coming to Tokyo made her even more certain in her heart that even if she returned to Fukuoka this time, one day she would still run to Tokyo again.
It's a long way from Fukuoka to Tokyo. But once you come to Tokyo for the first time, Tokyo will no longer be out of reach.
And as long as she finds the right way when she first comes to Tokyo, she will not get lost in Tokyo in the future.
…
Ayumi Hamasaki arrived unexpectedly and left inexplicably.
Of course Iwahashi Shinichi didn't believe that she came here just to tell her that she wanted to star in a TV series. In other words, Iwahashi Shinichi believed that Hamasaki came here just to tell her about this matter, but he was even more convinced that in her heart
There are other ideas.
However, even though he could see through the girl's heart at a glance, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't want to break the news.
For a precocious girl, too strong self-esteem will make her say what she means. If she is too direct, it will arouse her subtle rebellious psychology, and she will go in the opposite direction.
It was rare that there was no reception planned in the evening, so Shinichi Iwahashi went back early, but Akina Nakamori's work was not over yet. He found the leash, took the dog out for a walk, and stopped by a small bar he frequented near his home for a drink.
The coquettish puppy was taken out and brought back. Shinichi Iwahashi spent some time outside and then took the dog back home. At this time of year, autumn tigers are rampant during the day, but at night, when the wind blows, there is a hint of coolness in early autumn.
.
Not long after arriving home, Nakamori Akina also came back. Iwahashi Shinichi pretended that Hamasaki came to the company to see him today. After she took a shower and changed clothes, as soon as the two sat down next to each other, he said to her
Speaking of this matter.
"Today, a fan of yours came to see me." He pretended.
Nakamori Akina's head was filled with questions, and he aroused her curiosity. Why would her fans go to Iwahashi Shinichi?
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori's confused expression and couldn't help laughing. This smile fell into Akina Nakamori's eyes, and he couldn't help but suspect that this guy was deliberately teasing people again.
She glanced at him with small eyes, "So, what do my fans want to do with you?"
"Tell me, don't take advantage of Akina-san's fame." Iwahashi Shinichi said seriously.
It didn't look like she was making this up. Nakamori Akina said "Hey", as if she was frightened again. Her fans ran to warn Iwahashi Shinichi?
The second time the trick was successful, Iwahashi Shinichi laughed even harder this time. Of course, there must be a price for getting carried away. After Nakamori Akina completed the physical suppression, she stared at him and said seriously, "It's really evil."
It was only three things, and Iwahashi Shen gave up as soon as he saw good things, but still told her, "What I said just now is true, that child did say that to me."
"That child?" Akina Nakamori thought Iwahashi Shinichi's tone was strange.
Iwahashi Shin nodded and told her, "She's not yet fourteen years old."
A young fan under the age of fourteen went to find Shinichi Iwahashi. Akina Nakamori's curiosity became even more intense.
…
After arriving in Tokyo, she struggled to find Shinichi Iwahashi and finally met her, but only to tell him that she had appeared in a TV series. Nakamori Akina found it incredible to hear such a girl.
But she also felt that what was even more incredible was that that girl, just because she met Iwahashi Shinichi once in Fukuoka, went to look for him without hesitation.
Nakamori Akina listened to Iwahashi Shinichi talking about the causes and consequences, and for some reason, an idea came to her mind. This girl named Hamasaki Ayumi was actually secretly competing with Iwahashi Shinichi.
Discovering the stubbornness of that girl, Nakamori Akina suddenly became curious about her and had a strange affection for her, even though she had never met Hamasaki Ayumi.
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly said to her, "Maybe you were like her when you were a girl."
Today, Hamasaki Ayumi came over. This stubborn girl who did not tolerate explanation made Shinichi Iwahashi feel in his heart that she and Nakamori Akina had similar personalities.
Perhaps, this similarity in personality is the secret to success...but I can't say what will happen next.
Despite this, when Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Ayumi Hamasaki, he thought of Akina Nakamori's girlhood.
Although Shinichi Iwahashi never met Akina Nakamori when she was a girl, all the "feats" Nakamori performed when she first debuted came from hearsay.
Nakamori Akina noticed Iwahashi Shinichi's thoughts and got excited, teasing him: "Akina, I became famous as soon as I debuted, but you didn't notice me at all?"
Iwahashi Shinichi is at ease, "If I had noticed you earlier, I might have thought to myself, 'Such an idol is really difficult to deal with.' Then I would not dare to approach you when I meet you in the future."
Anyway, as long as Iwahashi Shin thinks about it, Nakamori Akina can't defeat him. If she can't defeat him, she will take advantage of him and say, "What about 'really difficult'? Is it so unreasonable?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "I don't know. After all, I have never seen Akina at that time."
Akina Nakamori couldn't help complaining about his "glib tongue". But she couldn't help but laugh as she said it. After laughing for a while, she suddenly said to Shinichi Iwahashi: "That Ayu-chan, I like you very much, Shinichi."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled even harder, "Really?"
"Such a light 'really?' sounds really annoying." Nakamori Akina said it was serious, but she was actually smiling.
Rather than commenting on Shinichi Iwahashi, she was more aggrieved for Ayumi Hamasaki, whom she had never met.
Iwahashi Shinichi had nothing to do with Nakamori Akina's pretentious attitude. He smiled but said to Nakamori Akina, "That kid is very independent and has a strong personality. Now he has shown the characteristics of a 'star'."
"Did Shinichi take the initiative to find her when he was in Fukuoka because he was aware of this?" Nakamori Akina asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "You can't notice this just by looking at an advertising picture." He changed the subject, "That child is a girl as beautiful as a doll."
From the outside, she looks like a doll that can fit into a shop window. But in fact, she has a strong personality and would rather bend than bend. Only girls like this have the most critical qualities to become a "super idol".
Shinichi Iwahashi's initial attention to Ayumi Hamasaki came from having seen a glimpse of her future. However, after having real contact with her and seeing the characteristics of her personality, he became interested in this girl who had not yet seen her.
After polishing the rough stone, we have a clearer understanding.
Although Hamasaki still wants to be an actress, her strong personality and her declaration of "I am myself" actually run counter to that of an actor.
But Shinichi Iwahashi would never throw cold water on her at this time, but was willing to wait quietly.
Iwahashi Shinichi's words further aroused Nakamori Akina's curiosity about Hamasaki Ayumi. She said: "Next time, if I have a chance, it would be great if I could meet that child."
"That's what I told her today. As a result, she warned me not to take advantage of Akina-san's fame."
Nakamori Akina laughed loudly after hearing this. Iwahashi Shinichi took the opportunity to tease her, "In my opinion, it's true that that child likes you very much."
Being ridiculed like this, Nakamori Akina smiled and was satisfied. Although she and Hamasaki Ayumi had never met in person, she was already happy that such a girl liked her.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori said, "Next time that child comes to Tokyo, tell her that it's Akina-san who wants to see her."
He was convinced in his heart that Hamasaki Ayumi would definitely come to Tokyo again.
It was precisely because of this meeting that Ayumi Hamasaki only talked about her acting in the TV series, and Shinichi Iwahashi was sure that she would definitely come again.
Thank you to the leader of "The appearance is not the same as the inside"
