Iwahashi Shinichi did not guide Nakamori Akina on any life path, nor did he open up any new possibilities in front of her. He just reminded her that the most important key was in her own hands.
But even so, Nakamori Akina still had a sudden enlightenment that cleared the clouds and revealed the sun.
The significance of this conversation with Shinichi Iwahashi was not only to remind her of the existence of the key, but also to invisibly lighten her psychological burden. This was also an important reason why Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief.
Pulling Kenyin into trouble not only gave Akina Nakamori something to rely on, but also gave her some room to escape and take a breather.
Shinichi Iwahashi does not have the power to change people's will. Just like as a small figure in the industry, he cannot change everything by his own strength, but he can reuse what already exists.
He magnified what Riuzo Kosugi said, put him there as a target, and guided Akina Nakamori to stand with the firm. When he believed in the firm, he was fighting against Riuzo Kosugi.
Once Kosugi Riuzo cannot be trusted, Kondo Masahiko's words will lose their effectiveness.
The purpose of deliberately saying good things to Kondo Masahiko is to eliminate his influence on Nakamori Akina in this matter and weaken the conflict between Nakamori Akina and Kondo Masahiko. In this way, Nakamori Akina can feel at ease and be of the same mind as the firm.
.
Just like the parties involved were imagining how the other party was going to act, what Shinichi Iwahashi was doing was imagining the moves the parties were going to make, and then he stretched out his hand and fiddled with it.
…
After finishing the business talk, the two people sitting opposite each other looked at each other, and their eyes met, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, or they seemed to be waiting for the other person to speak first. In the end, no one spoke, and instead they spoke briefly.
There was silence for a moment.
But the wonderful thing is that no one feels embarrassed. In this silence, there is a tacit understanding, just like the tacit understanding before saying "see you next time" to release a secret signal, which made the two of them look at each other and smile.
"Thank you for being willing to listen to me, Iwahashi-san." Akina Nakamori spoke first.
"Then, I would like to thank you for being willing to tell me this." Iwahashi Shinichi replied humorously, speaking lightly and skillfully, but calmly offering his comfort.
After hearing this, Akina Nakamori smiled slightly, feeling how valuable he was.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not the kind of person who is a good talker. He neither speaks sweet words nor makes great sense. However, he has his own unique "tricks", and his magic weapon is to consider others.
This kind of Iwahashi Shinichi makes Nakamori Akina once again truly feel his gentleness in treating others.
It is because of this kind of consideration for others, as well as the gentleness of not catching other people's feet, and not standing and talking without back pain, that can guide Okada Yukiko out of the desperate situation, and allow Nakamori Akina to feel relieved and speak freely to him.
However, after she achieved her goal and saw the light of day in her heart, what was before her was an agreement that she had broken. Taking the initiative to find Shinichi Iwahashi undoubtedly broke the unspoken agreement with him.
Now that this step has been taken and all the cards have been revealed, from now on we can no longer pretend that nothing has happened and that we have not seen the cards.
Thinking of this, Akina Nakamori realized that while solving one problem, she was faced with a new one.
She lowered her head, looked at her fingers, and thought for a while.
Shinichi Iwahashi felt confused when he saw Akina Nakamori sitting in front of him suddenly lowered his head in deep thought.
At this time, he discovered that Akina Nakamori seemed thinner than the last time he met her in the recording studio. When he lowered his head like this, the lines of his ears and neck reminded him of the "swan-neck-like" he saw in the book.
description of.
Looking at her neck now, Iwahashi Shinichi thought of this description, and felt that it was not an exaggeration.
When Akina Nakamori was not thinking about it, Shinichi Iwahashi stared at her neck and realized her beauty. In a sense, the two of them had a deeper understanding of each other at this moment.
Nakamori Akina thought clearly and raised her head, "Iwahashi-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi also calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at her, waiting for her next words.
Compared with a life of waiting or giving in, a life of active struggle is more interesting.
For example, you want to see me, you try hard, and then you see me.
"Next time..." Nakamori Akina considered the words. Although it was not easy to take the step, she still chose to finish the sentence, "Next time I want to see you, can I just say 'I want to see you' to you directly?"
She was not just asking for a contact information, but rather after breaking an agreement, she mustered up the courage to make a new one.
You have to take responsibility for what you do.
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi answered readily. After thinking about it, he took out his personal notepad and pen from the inner pocket of his suit, wrote down his phone and pager numbers, and handed them over.
"In case, I mean just in case, if you have anything to say, call me this, it doesn't have to be like today." Shinichi Iwahashi made a lively joke, "Time is precious."
Nakamori Akina took the contact information he handed over and looked around. After a while, Iwahashi Shin gave her his pen and paper.
The tip of the pen was writing, and after a while, Akina Nakamori handed the notepad and pen back to him with both hands.
On the open page, her name and two strings of numbers were neatly written in strokes.
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Shinichi Iwahashi said, closed the notepad and put it into the inner pocket of his suit.
The previously unfettered and unknown way of getting along with each other changed at this moment.
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's getting late." He said goodbye to Nakamori Akina, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first, Nakamori-san."
Akina Nakamori stood up and escorted him outside the tea room.
"See you next time." This time, it was Iwahashi Shinichi who said this first.
He seemed to sense her guilt for breaking the previous agreement, so he sent her such comfort.
Nakamori Akina was startled, then smiled, "See you next time, Iwahashi-san."
Neither of them mentioned anything about the grand prize just mentioned, they just greeted each other.
After watching Shinichi Iwahashi leave, Akina Nakamori whispered "Thank you" again, but that was more about strengthening her belief than thanking him.
She clutched the key in her hand and decided to trust the firm.
In this kind of determination, there is not only the sudden enlightenment after being enlightened, but also the ambition that was almost forgotten and now shines again.
After all, she is a Taopusida who has independent opinions and pursuits in music.
