Hamasaki Ayumi's management contract was given to Watanabe Mayumi, which seemed to be a sure thing. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mention Hamasaki's initial rejection, so Watanabe Mayumi naturally didn't know about it either.
After signing the agency contract, Hamasaki Ayumi's work arrangements will still be based on Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion.
Watanabe Wan Yumi confirmed Iwahashi Shinichi's previous words in front of Akiko and Hamasaki Ayumi. Hamasaki listened silently, rather absent-mindedly.
This stubborn girl had everything written on her face, and even Watanabe Wan Yumi realized that she had some unknown awkwardness. Iwahashi Shin turned a blind eye and suggested to Watanabe Wan Yumi: "Would you like to have dinner together tonight? Wan Yumi-san.
"
Akiko and Ayumi Hamasaki, mother and daughter, had no objection to the content of the contract and made a contract. Tomorrow, Akiko would return to Fukuoka alone. For this dinner before they parted, Shinichi Iwahashi also wanted to ask Akina Nakamori to attend.
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer Iwahashi Shinichi, but looked at Akiko and Hamasaki Ayumi, asking for their opinions.
Ayumi Hamasaki was looking forward to seeing Akina Nakamori again. Thinking about being separated from her mother and grandmother and living alone in Tokyo, Ayumi Hamasaki felt lonely.
This situation made Hamasaki feel like a child who was about to be abandoned.
After settling on the contract, Watanabe Mayumi and Iwahashi Shinichi decided on the place to have dinner tonight, and then left for now. Iwahashi Shinichi took Akiko and Hamasaki mother and daughter around to visit, and also went to Aoyama's recording studio.
room.
Akiko's innocence and liveliness are clearly reflected when seeing new things. After entering the recording studio, she also experienced professional recording in person with the encouragement of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Akiko is generous and generous, and is not shy when faced with things she doesn't understand. She doesn't feel embarrassed. After all, she is the person who can raise a daughter like Hamasaki. For Hamasaki's mother, Iwahashi Shinichi has some admiration for her.
.
…
In the evening, it began to drizzle.
Nakamori Akina received a call from Iwahashi Shinichi and told her: "Ayu's contract has been finalized. Let's have dinner together tonight."
In the morning, before Iwahashi Shinichi went out, he told her that today, Hamasaki Ayumi and her mother would come to Tokyo to sign a contract. Now receiving the call, Nakamori Akina felt a little bit happy for others: "Ayu can sign a contract with you, it's so great."
alright."
The way Shinichi Iwahashi treats newcomers, he will be able to protect Ayumi Hamasaki's own personality. Akina Nakamori thought of the similarities between Hamasaki's personality and her past self, and when she was happy for her, it felt a little like she was happy for herself.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi told her on the phone: "This child will probably cause a lot of headaches in the future."
"Why do you say that?"
"This kid thinks about it all the time, and he has some thoughts in his heart that no one can guess..."
Nakamori Akina was a little dissatisfied with her husband's words and reminded: "Isn't this what Shinichi values about Ayu's personality?" She didn't understand why suddenly Iwahashi Shinichi seemed a little guilty of Hamasaki Ayu's personality.
As if scared.
"I value her personality." Shinichi Iwahashi ended the topic and told her: "Wan Yumi-san is going tonight too, and Ayu's manager is contracted to work at her agency."
Akina Nakamori put down the phone, checked the time, and began to prepare for going out. She thought of Ayumi Hamasaki who left her mother to go to Beijing alone at a young age, and thought that if needed in the future, she would take more care of her.
Ayumi Hamasaki's signing was facilitated by Shinichi Iwahashi, and Akina Nakamori felt somewhat responsible for her.
Utada Hikaru participated in the school sketching activity today and had not returned until the driver came to pick up Nakamori Akina. Nakamori Akina called the assistant and entrusted her with the puppy and the children who had not yet arrived home.
The inconvenience of having an extra child at home gradually became apparent.
Akina Nakamori went to GENZO first and met up with Shinichi Iwahashi. She had almost never been to Shinichi Iwahashi's company, so her appearance here attracted quite a lot of attention.
The staff member she met by chance saluted her, and Akina Nakamori greeted her. When she entered the elevator, she realized that she was not only "Akina Nakamori" but also "Mrs. Iwahashi."
Shinichi Iwahashi was alone in the office when Akina Nakamori came in and did not see Ayumi Hamasaki or her mother.
"Zhang Zisang and Ayu went shopping." Iwahashi Shinichi explained.
Nakamori Akina thought about it and explained to him: "Xiaoguang hasn't come back yet, so I asked Momoi-chan to do it."
Rather than reporting Utada Hikari's itinerary to Shinichi Iwahashi, it might be better to say that she was imitating Shinichi Iwahashi's tone and joking with him. Shinichi Iwahashi knew full well and had nothing to do with her, so he teased her: "That's really thoughtful.
."
The couple made a joke that only each other knew the point of the joke, and went out together. They first picked up Akiko and Hamasaki at the appointed place, and then went to the appointed restaurant.
Akiko saw a superstar she had only seen on TV. Even though she was not a fan of Akina Nakamori like her daughter, she still felt the excitement of a fan meeting her idol.
However, Akina Nakamori greeted Ayumi Hamasaki like a senior, which made Akiko suppress her inner ups and downs and talked about the greetings she had made when they first met: "...Ayu is grateful for the care of Iwahashi-san and Akina-san."
Zhang Zi's innocence and liveliness are limited to when she has nothing to do. When she has her daughter in mind, she is a qualified agent.
At this dinner, Hamasaki didn't see Hikari Utada, so Hamasaki felt relieved.
Watanabe Manyumi arrived on time, met Nakamori Akina, and greeted her: "Long time no see, Akina-san."
The last time we met was at the reception after the New Year. Now, Akina Nakamori has become more relaxed. The two of them chatted, and Iwahashi Shinichi, who rarely stayed out of the conversation, felt relaxed and picked up his glass of wine.
Nakamori Akina took the time to see her husband breathing a sigh of relief, and felt a little unhappy, as if she had been underestimated by him. She secretly glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi, and it fell in the eyes of Watanabe Wan Yumi, which made her laugh -
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The paper tiger nature of Akina-san did not disappear just because she got married.
Despite this, Akina Nakamori, who has entered the role of wife, still showed the demeanor of a qualified wife in this dinner where all women except Shinichi Iwahashi were.
This made Watanabe Wanyumi find it strange. She thought to herself that this was a lifestyle that she could only observe from a distance, but not enter.
Akiko is lively and talkative, with a straightforward personality. Although she, Nakamori Akina and Watanabe Manyumi are different in age and status, they are surprisingly able to chat with each other.
In fact, to a certain extent, Zhang Zi, who works in a women's fashion store, is best at dealing with women, even if the other party's age and identity are quite different from hers.
Three women in one play, Iwahashi Shinichi, a man, and Hamasaki Ayumi, a girl, seem to have become their audience. However, unlike Iwahashi Shinichi, who stays out of the action, compared to the last time, Hamasaki Ayumi and Nakamori Akina
When we first met, she did say a lot less.
Shinichi Iwahashi told Akina Nakamori on the phone that Ayumi Hamasaki was filled with thoughts that no one could guess, which was not necessarily a lie.
Even Nakamori Akina was aware of this subtle difference in Hamasaki Ayumi.
…
After the meal, Shinichi Iwahashi's clerk called a taxi for Akiko and Ayumi Hamasaki. Watanabe Wan Yumi said goodbye to everyone and got into the car first.
It was still early, and the couple wanted to go somewhere to sit. Nakamori Akina called the assistant to confirm that Utada Hikaru had returned home, and told her that the couple would go back later.
After hanging up the phone, the two met their eyes and smiled at each other.
"Like poor parents who avoid their children and live in a world of two." Iwahashi Shinichi said exaggeratedly.
Akina Nakamori laughed loudly and retorted: "It doesn't look like that."
Iwahashi Shinichi broke the casserole and asked, "What does that look like?"
Nakamori Akina was a little stunned by the question and really thought about it seriously. She was completely unaware that if such a nonsensical question was taken seriously, she would fall into a trap.
She thought about it again and again, and sighed: "I feel a little guilty when you say that."
Iwahashi Shinichi patted her hand and said with a smile: "I feel relieved. On the other hand, children also want to live their own lives, so parents who occasionally go to the world of two also leave their own space for their children.
"
Nakamori Akina said she disliked him: "As expected of Iwahashi-san, no matter what the topic, I can't trouble you."
Iwahashi Shinichi kept smiling, "It would be great if this was really a compliment."
"Just think of it as okay." Akina Nakamori was tolerant and generous. She finished arguing with him and leaned on his shoulder.
The two of them went to Ginza for a drink again. After all, they were thinking about their children at home and the assistant who was temporarily called to work overtime. They didn't continue shopping and went home.
After returning home, Hikaru Utada came to the entrance to greet them with his puppy Kenta in his arms.
The coquettish puppy gets along very well with Utada Hikaru. In its little mind, it probably won't remember that when it met Utada Hikaru in the recording studio two years ago, it was annoyed by a little girl who was only seven or eight years old.
It's such a disturbing thing.
Nowadays, Utada Hikaru has passed the age when even dogs are disgusted, and the puppy has also passed the most naughty age, and his personality is much calmer.
"Thank you for your hard work, Momoi-chan."
Iwahashi Shinichi thanked the assistant and said, "We brought the cake back, do you want to eat it now?" He asked Utada Hikari and the assistant at the same time.
The two people answered "Okay!" at the same time, making Akina Nakamori laugh.
Nakamori Akina took the cake to the kitchen to handle, and the assistant followed to help. Iwahashi Shinichi went to change clothes, hugged the puppy, and chatted with Utada Hikaru, asking her about today's schedule.
"I had a lot of fun, but it was a bit boring." Utada Hikari said contradictory words.
Shinichi Iwahashi was used to this and replied: "That's half and half."
Utada Hikaru thought for a while and decided to be more rigorous and said: "Then let's go with half and half."
The two people were having a conversation that sounded boring and strange to onlookers, but they were enjoying each other. After Shinichi Iwahashi asked, Hikaru Utada asked, "Is Iwahashi-san having dinner with Ayu tonight?"
"That's right."
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "Ayu has signed a contract with us. From now on, he will be the new member of GENZO."
Utada Hikari nodded, thoughtfully. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression, and asked her: "What is Hikari thinking about?"
Utada Hikari blinked and replied: "Since it's something on my mind, of course I can't say it."
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was stamped by Akina Nakamori as saying "no matter what the topic is," was occasionally speechless when Hikaru Utada was here.
From this point of view, this ten-year-old girl can be called a genius.
While the little assistant was struggling with the issue of body management for eating cake at this time, he was full of praise for the cake, vividly showing what the ambivalence was about.
Nakamori Akina also joined in the fun and ate a little. Only Iwahashi Shinichi was calm in the face of sweets and drank tea silently. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and went to call a taxi for his assistant. He was busy playing such a role all night.
The taxi came and the assistant said goodbye and left.
Utada Hikaru returned to the room. The puppy Kenta was originally lying in the den. He first followed him to see off his assistant, and then followed Utada Hikaru back to the room with her.
Nakamori Akina went to make tea for Iwahashi Shinichi again and put it in front of him.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it and told her about Hamasaki's arrangements after coming to Tokyo, "Ayu will be promoted to high school this year, and now that she has come to Tokyo, the first thing is to arrange for her to enroll in high school."
Iwahashi Shinichi has no plans to arrange a job for Ayumi Hamasaki for the time being. However, since she is coming to Beijing as an artist and has signed a contract with an agency and a record company, no matter whether she will be assigned a job in the next three years or not, she will not be able to find a job for her in the next three years.
When choosing a school, you should put the item "allowing students to participate in entertainment activities" first.
Ayumi Hamasaki will not have a job for a while. Even if she needs to be systematically trained as a singer, the training courses arranged in the initial stage will not be too intensive, so there is no need to go to a communication school. In this way,
There is no need to list too many choices. Hinode High School and Horikoshi High School, two schools dedicated to people in the entertainment industry, both have so-called performing arts classes for artists.
Hinode High School is an all-girls school, while Horikoshi High School is a coeducational school. Given Hamasaki's personality, it would be better not to go to a girls' school.
Shinichi Iwahashi was a little worried that Ayumi Hamasaki's personality would easily lead to bullying in a girls' school.
Horikoshi High School has a tacit cooperation with the entertainment industry. As long as you say hello there, you can enroll at any time. As for the high tuition fees of private schools, according to industry practice, the company will advance the payment on your behalf and record it in the bill as a liability.
Not only tuition fees, but also training fees, and the clothes purchased before debut... various names, the first money an artist earns after officially debuting is actually the money given to the agency to pay off debts.
Regarding the issue of Ayumi Hamasaki's admission, Iwahashi Shinichi has already considered it very carefully. In other words, this is the simplest. After listening to Akina Nakamori for a while, she felt that it was more important than which high school Ayumi Hamasaki went to.
Step into life in Tokyo.
She asked Shinichi Iwahashi, "Zhang Zisang will not stay in Tokyo to accompany Ayu. How will Ayu's food, clothing, housing and transportation be arranged next?"
