Misa Watanabe did not propose such a choice between the two options on purpose to embarrass Iwahashi Shinichi.
An old firm with established order can accommodate people with various ideas, because the core will not be affected. However, Watanabe Wan Yumi wants to go out and set up another company. Since she regards Iwahashi Shinichi as her right-hand man, she must make some arrangements.
Clearly, whether this arm is really reliable enough to be one with her.
Talent is certainly valuable, but for a newly-started firm, unstable talent is accompanied by certain dangers.
If he is allowed to follow Watanabe Manyumi and go out independently, he will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility based on Watanabe Manyumi's trust and respect for him.
As the mainstay of the new firm, once she leaves midway, because she is the veteran who started the business together, the impact on the new firm will be immeasurable. Watanabe Mayumi's efforts may be used as wedding clothes for others.
Watanabe Wan Yumi believes that she and Iwahashi Shinichi are "heroes who cherish heroes", but Watanabe Misa believes that Wan Yumi's excessive appreciation of Iwahashi Shinichi will affect her judgment and ignore other issues.
Misa Watanabe admits that Shinichi Iwahashi has talent, but he does not necessarily have to tie him to Watanabe Manyumi for the rest of his life.
If he hesitates in his heart, he can stay at Watanabe Productions. If Yoshida Miki can't accommodate him, it won't hurt to introduce him to work in other offices. From now on, he will either become a senior executive in the industry, or he can independently carry out his innovations.
That's all his business.
However, if he takes advantage of Watanabe Manyumi's trust in him and uses her daughter to use Watanabe's precious innovative fire as a springboard... this is something Misa Watanabe cannot allow.
They have already tacitly allowed him to serve as both a band and a manager, and yet they sensed that he might have hidden agendas when he joined the firm. They ignored the risk that he might be taken away from him in the future and let him and Watanabe Manyumi become independent. What a good thing.
How could he be allowed to take it all by himself?
In the final analysis, what Misa Watanabe was thinking about from the very beginning was to make Watanabe Mayumi independent, not to let Watanabe Manyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi become independent.
All along, she believed in Watanabe Manyumi, not Iwahashi Shinichi.
But in addition, when this alternative was proposed, Watanabe Misao still had some thoughts about Iwahashi Shinichi that she had thought of but had never said aloud.
If he chooses to stay with Watanabe Manyumi, Watanabe Production will certainly not treat him badly in the future.
Iwahashi Shinichi is less than four years younger than Wan Yumi. Although they are not a good match in age, Wan Yumi admires him at work and does not hate him in private. If he can really work together with her... or recruit him
It's not a bad idea to be a son-in-law.
Misa Watanabe doesn’t hate Shinichi Iwahashi.
…
Misa Watanabe did not ask Shinichi Iwahashi to express his position immediately, so he was able to slowly think about the issue. After leaving the president's office, he hesitated for a moment as to whether he should take the initiative to contact Watanabe Manyumi.
However, as soon as this idea came up, he rejected it.
Although this matter is an issue that arises around Watanabe Mayumi's independence, after all is said and done, the answer still lies with him, and there is no reason to discuss it with Watanabe Mayumi. Besides, before Watanabe Mayumi showed her hand with him, he
Shang Ke slowly thought about it, how would he answer if he bumped into him now?
In itself, after Misa Watanabe asked this question, he hesitated when faced with a great opportunity, which already explained some problems.
For several days, Shin Iwahashi thought about this problem whenever he had some free time, thinking about what he should choose next.
Misa Watanabe is not an arrogant and unreasonable president. The two paths he gave are nothing more than conveying one thing: you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
She wants to rely on her daughter's trust to show off her power, but she is also thinking about other things. Of course, she can't bear this kind of thing no matter whether she is in the position of mother or president.
Think about how men who make a fortune from their wives and then kick their wives as soon as they become rich are viewed by others. Although it cannot be generalized, at least from the perspective of the mother-in-law, she will definitely not think that such a son-in-law does a good job.
Now, although he has a name in the industry, his presence is still an inch-and-a-half-inch long worm. What future can be expected is in the future. No one has peeked at the answers to the test paper, and I don’t know if he can answer it correctly.
How many questions, will it be as smooth as it is now in the future?
There is no need for Misa Watanabe to have any expectations for a future that is unknown when it will be realized. After thinking about this clearly, Shinichi Iwahashi believes that Misa Watanabe is a kind person who can honestly give out the insurance card.
But, can this insurance card really be used?
Iwahashi Shinichi thought over and over the pros and cons of these two options, and then, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and understood why he couldn't make up his mind.
Ultimately, what he hates is the feeling that his own destiny cannot be controlled by him.
…
The changes within Watanabe Productions involved Shinichi Iwahashi. This was something he did not expect, but it was also reasonable.
Because of this incident, something subtly awakened deep in Iwahashi Shinichi's heart.
Watanabe Manyumi didn't show her cards to him for a long time, so he just pretended to be stupid, pretended that this didn't happen, and continued to do his work.
However, before entering March, there is another personal matter, but it is also a business matter to be dealt with.
He finally wanted to move, move out of the small apartment in Koenji where he had lived since he started living in Tokyo, and improve his quality of life.
When he first became Iwahashi Shinichi, he lived in this old apartment that was only six floors in size and didn't even have a bed. He set a small goal for himself, to live in a house with a bed. This small goal is in
After joining Watanabe Productions and successfully completing Akiko Matsumoto's transformation plan, I already had the capital to realize it.
But then came the planning of the music festival, and I was as busy as 007 every day, so the moving matter was ignored. Until now, I have been busy with the big things at work, and I have some free time, and I can finally deal with this big thing in life.
Living in Tokyo, moving is really not a trivial matter. In addition, there are all kinds of fussy rules about house rentals in Japan, as well as things to be dealt with when moving, moving fees, etc., plus various things that need to be paid after moving and settling in.
There is a saying that "the more you move, the poorer you become".
The money Miwa Yoshida shared with her during the tour, various bonuses, extra money and salary after joining Watanabe Productions, etc., excluding the intermediate expenses, Iwahashi Shinichi now has almost 2.5 million yen on hand.
What a good two hundred and fifty.
But no matter what, it is enough to move into a clean and comfortable house with a bed.
Since the Chinese New Year, Shinichi Iwahashi has been paying attention to various housing rental newspapers, looking for one that seems suitable among a dense pile of rental information that looks the same. Being an employee is not as comfortable as being an artist.
There are people in the office to help organize things, but you have to rely on yourself.
There are thousands of options to choose from, considering location, transportation, and price. After weighing all aspects, it is not good to be poor. If you have money in your pocket, there is no need to consider cost-effectiveness. Choose the bigger one among the short ones, and just go to a high-end apartment.
Koenji's small apartment was almost bare-walled, and he didn't have much to take with him if he wanted to move. He just packed it in a few cardboard boxes. What needed to be dealt with the most were the bundles of old magazines he had moved back from the antique bookstore since he decided to join this business.
Since there were not many things, there was no need for a moving company. On that day, Masato Nakamura went to borrow a minivan, called Miwa-chan, and the three of them took care of the moving matter together.
To be honest, compared to moving, the moving notice may be more troublesome to do.
Since I moved, my phone number and address also changed. For this reason, I had to say hello to friends or acquaintances I had contact with, and send a large pile of moving postcards to announce my new address and phone number. This was a task Iwahashi took over again and again.
Damn, thank you for the existence of photocopiers. Otherwise, if I had to write everything by hand like going to the record company to send demos, I would be so tired that I would doubt my life.
"Mineshima-san, Amaya-san, the person in charge of the livehouse, Takenouchi-san, Akamatsu-san, and then..." Shinichi Iwahashi flipped through the address book while writing the corresponding recipients on the postcard.
I didn’t know it until I moved, but once I moved I realized how many people I needed to greet, especially if I was in a profession where I was constantly dealing with people.
"Iwahashi Chaozi." When he found this name in his address book, Iwahashi Shinichi gave him a slap in the face.
This is the name of his sister. It is said that she was named like this because she was born in the morning. Calculating her age, she is over thirty years old this year, but she is not married yet. I don’t know who can tolerate such a genius.
Come on.
The two siblings live together in Tokyo, but have never contacted each other.
Iwahashi Shinichi stared at the name and recalled it, and finally a figure emerged in his mind. He had shoulder-length hair, dressed in decent business attire, and had an oval face. The two siblings looked very different.
After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote down Iwahashi Asako's message on the next postcard.
After taking care of the things before moving, on Saturday evening at the end of February, Masato Nakamura drove a van and loaded the cartons into the van. Iwahashi Shinichi took the prepared snacks and went to the landlord's place to make a snack, thanking him for always
Although the care I received in the past was not taken care of at all, it was all routine.
Such a movement also alerted Nitta Hiroyuki who lived next door. He opened the door and carefully leaned out to explore the situation outside.
"Iwahashi-san, do you want to move?" Nitta Keiichi understood what was going on.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "Yes. Excuse me for this time, Nitta-san."
"No, I'm glad to be your neighbor..."
If Nitta Hiroyuki hadn't seen him all day, he would have shrunk as if he had extorted money from him. Iwahashi Shinichi believed this. However, after all, he was a neighbor, and Nitta Hiroyuki had helped him unintentionally. Iwahashi Shinichi
I exchanged pleasantries with him and left him the address and phone number of my new house.
After everything was settled, Yoshida Miwa lowered the window and stuck her head out, "Shinichi-kun"
Listen, I am really full of energy. No matter how energetic I am, I am always so energetic.
…
The address of the new apartment is in Beizawa. The house is not too old. Although the color of the exterior wall has been washed away by wind and rain, the facilities inside are good.
Although the area is still small, it is well-equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. From now on, there is no need to go outside to take a bath in the public bath. There is also a short balcony.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a bed in this house.
In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to treat the two of them to a nearby restaurant in order to thank them for helping with the move. Masato Nakamura went ahead and returned the small box of goods he borrowed before coming to keep the appointment.
As soon as he left, only Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida were left in the room.
The new apartment is twice the size of the original house and has a higher ceiling. Even so, it looks very cramped due to the piles of cardboard boxes that have not yet been unpacked and sorted.
Regardless of still wearing his coat, Iwahashi Shinichi sat directly on the bed, pressed the mattress, and said with a smile: "Finally, I achieved my goal of living in a room with a bed."
In front of Yoshida Miwa, he didn't care whether his words were too candid.
"So Shinichi-kun still has such a goal?"
"It's just a small goal." Shinichi Iwahashi made a "little bit" gesture.
Miwa Yoshida burst out laughing after hearing this, "However, I can't forget that I went to your apartment before and wrote a letter of introduction with you. Even though it was a shabby house with nothing..."
"If so," Iwahashi Shinichi corrected, "there are still canned oolong teas."
"It's better not to say this," Miwa Yoshida laughed, "the more I say it, the shabbier it sounds."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't take it seriously, but also smiled and said: "You can only go up every day in shabby days."
"here we go again"
Yoshida Miwa said as if he was teasing: "As expected of Shinichi-kun, he often comes up with wise words."
The two of them were talking and laughing together.
After the joke was over, the two of them stopped talking to each other. No matter how passionate the chat was, it was inevitable that this situation would suddenly occur.
The air fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Yoshida Miwa suddenly said: "In addition to canned oolong tea, there are other things. It's just these messy memories."
"It would be better if there wasn't that nonsense," Shinichi Iwahashi said.
"What does it matter?" Yoshida Miwa smiled slightly and looked at him, "I will never forget those messy memories."
Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned and replied: "So, there were quite a lot of things in that house."
…
Nakamura Masato returned the car and came back, and the three of them went to have dinner together. After the meal, they found a bar to continue their business. Saturday night was the best time. The streets were full of people and the bar was also overcrowded.
While he was drinking, Iwahashi Shinichi's pager rang, asking him to call back quickly.
"I'm going to make a phone call." He stood up.
Yoshida Miwa teased: "Go quickly, busy agent-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled helplessly and went to borrow a public phone.
After the call was connected, a familiar but surprising voice came from the other end of the phone, "Iwahashi-san, excuse me."
