Watanabe Manyumi usually lives in an old house, but as an adult she still lives with her mother, and sometimes feels like she has no private space, so she also has an apartment in Tokyo.
I went to attend a reception today and had a premonition that I would be back very late. In order not to stir up trouble, I explained early in the morning that I would not go home, so I reported the address here.
After driving the car into the underground parking lot, Watanabe Mayumi was still not satisfied. Instead of getting out of the car, he and Iwahashi Shinichi continued the conversation along the way, "Iwahashi-san, as you said, the next era will be the era of the band. Then we will
"
When she said "we", she thought about being rejected by him in Atami before, and felt uncomfortable.
However, when it came to business, her rationality allowed her to ignore this discomfort and continue, "But at this stage, after all, the band's era has not yet arrived, and we don't know when it will arrive."
"Actually, sometimes you don't have to wait for the opportunity to come." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled silently. If he were face to face with Watanabe Wan Yumi at this moment, she would definitely be able to tell that this smile was the same as the smile he used when he planned to make trouble twice before.
payment.
“It’s okay to create opportunities,” he said.
After hearing this, Watanabe Wan Yumi was convinced, "That's true."
His words played right into Watanabe Wan Yumi's mind. It also made her feel once again that, at least in terms of career, their degree of sympathy was probably far beyond imagination.
The more I realize this, the more I regret that I can't go hand in hand with him.
"Are you feeling better?" At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi had already changed the subject and asked in a concerned tone.
Watanabe Wanyumi felt a little cold and picked up her handbag, "I feel much better now. Thank you. You followed me here and there today and even sent me back."
“It’s said that ‘the more occasional it is, the more thoughtful it is’.”
Hearing this high-pitched argument in quotation marks again, Watanabe Manyumi still found it funny.
…
Just like that, the more he spoke occasionally, the more thoughtful he became. In the end, Shinichi Iwahashi did it all and sent Watanabe Mayumi upstairs.
Coming out of the elevator and walking into the corridor, Shin Iwahashi glanced at it and said casually: "This house is really nice."
Watanabe Manyumi said "hmm" and said, "I bought it just after I graduated from college. However, I don't live here very often." When she said this, she thought of an interesting thing and casually said to Iwahashi Shinichi: "Because of this,
Recently, someone from a real estate agency called me and asked me if I had any intention to sell it. They probably thought it was a vacant house."
"I see." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
If someone from a real estate agency takes the initiative to contact you, it means that the value of this apartment has increased. Iwahashi Shinichi then thought that Japan's crazy bubble era is now.
Want to get rich? Hurry up and speculate in real estate and stocks.
If he had had an apartment like Watanabe Mayumi's at the beginning, he would have reached the peak of his life by now, okay?
Watanabe Manyumi's house was 5002. After arriving, Watanabe Manyumi looked at him and said, "I..."
After thinking for a while, he didn't say the next words, but handed over the car keys he just handed over, "Iwahashi-san, take my car back."
"What?"
"At this time, the trains have stopped. I don't know how long it will take to take a taxi. Iwahashi-san will take my car back and drive back to the office tomorrow."
"Thank you very much," Shinichi Iwahashi did not go to pick up the car keys, "but if I drive your car to the office tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I will cause you a lot of trouble."
Rumors about the pretty boy are already flying all over the place. If he drives the domineering Mercedes-Benz to work again, will this mean that Shi Zhui will be taken care of?
You can't get a heroine's script like this.
"Okay." Watanabe Manyumi didn't force it.
Iwahashi Shinichi escorted Watanabe Mayumi to the porch, then said goodbye and left.
Watanabe Manyumi opened the door and went in. She changed her shoes in front of the entrance. When she touched the switch, the room suddenly lit up. The usable area of this apartment is about seventy or eighty square meters, which is not too big. It is suitable for one person to come and live here occasionally.
.
On weekdays, housekeeping staff come to the house for maintenance at fixed times. Even if you only come to stay occasionally, you don't have to worry about the bad condition of the house. Apart from the empty refrigerator, there is not much people in the house.
Her drunkenness had almost subsided, but her mouth felt dry. She went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and drank it little by little. Then she felt tired and couldn't help but sigh.
When he decided to establish Watanabe Productions, his father proposed to his mother and asked her to be his partner in career and life and work together.
When Watanabe Manyumi was a child, after learning about the story of her father and mother, she imagined that one day she would be able to meet someone who would like her both at work and in life.
Therefore, when she met Iwahashi Shinichi, during her trip to Atami, she felt the happiness while dancing with him, which made her particularly touched.
In the end, I felt unprecedented loss because of this wishful thinking.
This is not Iwahashi Shinichi's fault... Of course Watanabe Wan Yumi understands. He knows nothing about all this and has no responsibility to help her realize her long-cherished wish.
My sister and her brother-in-law met on a blind date and then got married. Watanabe Wan Yumi learned early on that sometimes love may not be necessary in married life.
And the experiences of other friends she knew made her understand that having love may not lead to true cultivation.
Therefore, for Watanabe Manyumi, most of this loss does not come from the loss of happiness, but the regret of not being able to work together with him in career.
It's hard to find a close friend in life.
…
After Iwahashi Shinichi left the apartment, he waited outside for a long time before getting a taxi. By the time he got home and settled down, it was already two o'clock in the morning. He had to attend a morning meeting early in the morning, so he had to deal with lack of sleep the next day.
He went to the office with a tired face.
Colleagues were not surprised and thought it was the aftereffects of partying all night on weekends.
Not only him, but also Watanabe Manyumi whom I met at the morning meeting. Although she was still very capable, she could also tell that she was a little tired from lack of sleep.
It's a good thing I didn't borrow her Mercedes-Benz to drive, otherwise there might have been a big misunderstanding.
After the conversation at Atami, Watanabe Mayumi acted as if nothing had happened and she was not rejected by Iwahashi Shinichi. She acted normally, and Iwahashi Shinichi naturally put aside what happened that day.
I haven't received her internal call for a while. On the one hand, there haven't been any major events to make the limelight recently, but there are a lot of trivial matters. On the other hand, although the two of them understood each other tacitly, the night they rejected her still had side effects.
.
Just like that, Shinichi Iwahashi was busy with his own business and prepared to resign. Instead of calling his boss, the resignation letter was first handed over to Misa Watanabe, the real boss who had been waiting for him to make a choice.
When he met Misa Watanabe and told her his final decision, Misa Watanabe was a little surprised: "You want to resign?"
"I have considered it carefully and finally decided that in order not to cause trouble to you and Watanabe Productions, it would be better to resign from my current job."
"Really..." Misa Watanabe pondered for a moment.
"Or do you want me to introduce you to work in another firm?" At this time, she mentioned this smooth favor again.
Iwahashi Shinichi declined, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am very grateful to be able to receive the care I am receiving now."
The goal was achieved as expected, but he didn't expect that he chose neither option, but resigned directly. Iwahashi Shinichi's choice can be said to be quite strong. Faced with this result, Watanabe Misa felt that she was stingy for a moment.
"Okay, I get it." Even so, she didn't stop him.
However, March is the month of fiscal settlement in Japan, and April that follows is the day when TV stations change programs and offices renew contracts. Everyone is busy and Watanabe Wanyumi wants to be independent.
Everything has been temporarily suppressed, and it will not be officially announced until this time. Iwahashi Shinichi cannot leave now, he still has to wait for the last shift.
Of course, during this period, neither of them stood still.
On this day, after "ignoring" Iwahashi Shinichi for a while, Watanabe Wan Yumi's internal phone called again and called him to the office.
As soon as he arrived, Watanabe Manyumi told him, "Iwahashi-san, I want to find a location for the office in the Minato area."
She got straight to the point and discussed it as if she regarded Shinichi Iwahashi as a partner.
"Minato?"
This location is far away from Watanabe Production Headquarters. It seems that he wants his new office not to be dyed in the color of his family. But compared to this, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it and immediately understood, "You plan to change
Cooperate with TV stations?”
Watanabe Manyumi cast an approving look, "That's exactly it."
Among many TV stations, Watanabe Productions’ regular partner is Fuji TV, and Watanabe Mayumi’s brother-in-law is a producer of Fuji TV.
Fuji TV's headquarters is in Shinjuku, and Watanabe Mayumi avoided Shinjuku when choosing the location. It was clear that she wanted to draw a clear line from the old office, at least on the route.
"For Minato City, it's TV Asahi or TBS."
ntv (Japanese Television) was once a mortal enemy of Watanabe Productions. Even if Watanabe Mayumi wanted to be independent, there was no reason to go back and cooperate with a TV station that had a falling out with her father.
As for TV Tokyo, which is also a member of the five major private television networks, it may be arrogant for a firm that has not yet been established to say this, but the fact is that if you want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship, this is not an option that can be listed.
Shinichi Iwahashi had a very deep impression of TV TOKYO.
In later generations, whenever something major happened, the marketing account on the scarf would take out a set of screenshots showing the content broadcast by six TV stations at the same time, including NHK and the five major private TV networks.
While the other five TV stations were all urgently changing their program content and reporting on major events, only TV Tokyo had a clear style and remained unmoved by broadcasting the scheduled programs no matter what major events happened.
Therefore, if even TV Tokyo urgently switches the program content, it is a funny saying that the end of the world has arrived.
The reason for this is not because TV Tokyo is a strange and beautiful girl that is different from the glamorous bitches outside. It is simply because it is small in scale, has low ratings, is short of funds, and is poor, so its style of painting is strange, so it can only be broken.
It's just a broken child.
“The location of Roppongi is good,” Watanabe Manyumi said. “The entire port area is home to several TV stations and many record companies. Since we are setting up a separate business... to be honest, opening an office is almost like opening a store.
You have to consider the location, consider the neighbors, and then choose a suitable address."
"TBS has a poor relationship with Fuji TV. In the past, it was not easy to have too much contact with them. In the future, if we set up our own business and reduce cooperation with Fuji TV, we will be more relaxed in this regard." Watanabe Manyumi said.
TBS was once the ratings king among the five major TV stations, ranking first in ratings for 19 consecutive years from 1963 to 1981. It was Fuji TV that ended this myth. TBS's flagship program "Everyone at Eight O'clock" was released in 1981
Fuji TV's "We Are Funny People", which was first aired in 2008, fell down.
Fuji TV not only ended a golden program, but also ended the ratings myth of TBS. Therefore, the two TV stations have always been competitors. It is difficult for artists who are not big enough to have programs on both TV stations at the same time.
"As for TV Asahi, Watanabe Productions had some friendship with them in the past, but it is not as close as with Fuji TV, so there is no need to worry about conflicts with the company. Moreover, they recently launched a new music program "Muscistation" for non-TV Asahi TV.
There are a lot of opportunities for idols, and since I want to focus on the band in the future, it can be regarded as a good way to promote it."
There is another thought hidden in Watanabe Wan Yumi's openness to Iwahashi Shinichi.
"Iwahashi-san, the president told me that you have decided to resign."
"Yes. A formal resignation will be called to you later. After you become independent, I will also resign from Watanabe Productions."
Obviously she was talking about business, but Watanabe Wan Yumi's expression seemed to be making a wisecrack, "Ordinarily, you have only been on the job for a full year, and there is no severance allowance to receive when you resign. However, the president wants you to produce for Watanabe.
I should have promoted you for your meritorious service, but now that you are resigning, I cannot treat you lightly, so I will give you a generous severance allowance."
She didn't necessarily mean to play tricks, she just thought that so many derailed things had happened in a short period of time, which made her feel a little funny.
Iwahashi Shinichi probably understood her mood and cooperated with her, replying: "That's really an honor."
But in his heart, he was not in a bad mood if he could get the money.
Now that he is resigning, he has to implement his own plan and is in urgent need of money. In this case, Watanabe Productions is willing to give him a generous severance allowance, which is just an emergency for him.
"Earlier, you said that the future is the era of the band, and you have to work hard in another way." Watanabe Manyumi said, "But, I still don't know which way you found."
She made it clear that she wanted to get an answer from Shinichi Iwahashi.
"You want to set up your own business and set up your own firm."
"I want to set up a music production company." Shinichi Iwahashi finally revealed the answer.
The thrown dice was spinning around, but I didn't expect it to come up with such a number.
