Okada Yukiko stood in front of the phone, talking to the other side of the phone with excitement, "...I saw Iwahashi-san's name in the newspaper, and my friends in the club are also chatting about Iwahashi-san."
Even if you can't see her face, just hear the tone of her words, you can tell that she is proud of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Listening to this crisp sound is like hearing the chirping of birds in the morning, which makes people feel comfortable.
During the two-day music festival, Okada Yukiko went to watch the performance with her friends from university. As a GENZO affiliate, Okada Yukiko also got the affiliate ticket.
All her close friends know that she works part-time at Shinichi Iwahashi's production company. From before the music festival starts to after it ends, "Iwahashi-san" has become a topic of conversation among friends from time to time.
Of course, after the music festival, the two days of wonderful performances became a topic of conversation among friends.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi listened to Okada Yukiko's comments on the phone and felt happy. As for what she said about seeing his name in the newspaper, he didn't take it to heart. He is the chief producer of the newspaper.
It’s not surprising to include his name when writing an article.
Okada Yukiko was talking about her reflections after watching, and then she thought about it and asked him: "Did Iwahashi-san go to the scene?"
Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I went to see the performance the next afternoon."
When he finished speaking, Okada Yukiko on the other end let out a "huh" sound. Shinichi Iwahashi joked, "This reaction is very meaningful."
Okada Yukiko, who was found out, laughed a little shyly and said, "I haven't seen Akina-san for a long time."... She was also thinking of joining forces with Iwahashi-san to play a trick on Akina-san.
Shinichi Iwahashi guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help laughing, "Next time, when you go to the recording studio to work."
She secretly planned to tease her girlfriend without telling her, and also made her think that she was the one who was teasing others... Okada Yukiko went around in circles in her mind and couldn't help but say, "Iwahashi-san is so awesome.
.”
When it comes to pretending, Iwahashi-san really can't beat him.
Although she secretly thought this in her heart, Okada Yukiko still enthusiastically responded to Iwahashi Shinichi's proposal. As expected, everyone has a considerable enthusiasm for teasing people, and they emerge out of nowhere.
…
The two chatted for a while, and after putting aside the music festival and teasing Akina Nakamori together, the topic was turned to Okada Yukiko's summer vacation life. They went out to sketch with friends who were painting together, and they were with the mystery novel research club.
A friend of mine went to Tanegashima to retreat and write doujinshi, and the arrangement was very impressive.
After hearing this, Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "This summer vacation life is quite exciting."
Okada Yukiko also felt that she had a great time.
After starting a new life as an ordinary person, the picture unfolded in front of her became more and more colorful the further it unfolded. Just as she was about to say something else, she started talking. On the other end of the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi spoke first.
"Hold on".
Not long after, Iwahashi Shinichi told her that he had official business to deal with.
Okada Yukiko expressed her understanding and cheered him up with a high-spirited tone. She hung up the phone, looked at the time, and prepared to put on makeup and go out. In the evening, she made an appointment with her friends to go bowling together.
Next week, she resumes her arrangement of working in the recording studio. At that time, she must join forces with Iwahashi-san to tease Akina-san... First tease Akina-san, and then reveal the answer to her reasoning. Okada Yukiko thought so, right
Looking in the mirror, I couldn't help but show a childish smile.
After leaving the house, she walked from the rented apartment to the station. The tram was rickety, and Okada Yukiko was bored. Her eyes fell on the advertisements hanging in the carriage, staring at the colorful and dense layout to pass the time——
As a result, as soon as my eyes fell on it, I glanced at it and immediately stopped.
"We are in an extremely close relationship! Nakamori Akina and GENZO President Shinichi Iwahashi."
The bolded title, coupled with the silhouettes of Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi's respective heads, is obviously front-page treatment.
Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi, President of GENZO.
Okada Yukiko was stunned by this magazine preview. Although she was very familiar with both Akina-san and Iwahashi-san, these two names were printed in the title of the magazine. In an instant, she was stunned.
It feels so strange.
Akina-san and Iwahashi-san, were the two of them photographed?
Slowly coming back to her senses, Okada Yukiko couldn't help but think in her heart. The train stopped and moved away, getting closer and closer to the destination where they agreed to meet.
Okada Yukiko remembered that before going out, when she and Iwahashi Shinichi were on the phone, they were still planning to tease Akina-san together next time.
...If I had known this, I would have solved the case earlier. Looking at the silhouettes of Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi on the magazine trailer, she felt troubled and regretful. She struggled for a while and couldn't help but laugh.
After coming out of the station, we arrived at the tea shop where we had arranged to meet a friend. My friend Sonoko arrived first. Okada Yukiko met her and greeted her, "Long wait ~ Sonoko-chan..."
"You know, Kayo-chan!" Sonoko was mysterious, but she held her back with excitement.
Okada Yukiko didn't react for a while, and subconsciously asked: "What do you know?"
"That's it! Didn't Kayo-chan see Bunshun's preview?" Sonoko tried to lower her voice because she was in a public place, but her enthusiasm for gossip did not diminish at all.
"Be it Akina-chan or Iwahashi-san, Kayo-chan is familiar with them, right? Has Kayo-chan never heard anything about their relationship, or does she know anything about it?"
Okada Yukiko shook her head slightly, "I don't know anything."
"Really?" Sonoko was dubious. However, Okada Yukiko said so, and she did not worry about whether there was any inside information to gossip about, and brought the focus back to this big gossip.
"Needless to say, Akina-chan, I also like her very much. She is so handsome, so chic, and not only that, but also so cute... Iwahashi-san, I just went to the music festival where he is the producer, and I know she is amazing.
character."
But even so, Sonoko is still a little dissatisfied with the fact that Nakamori Akina's dating partner is a mysterious producer with a decent-looking and somewhat outdated appearance. Although this dissatisfaction is not so much dissatisfaction with Nakamori Akina's dating partner.
A man in black behind the scenes like Shinichi Iwahashi could not satisfy her enthusiasm for watching the excitement.
"Anyway, it's still surprising, don't you think Kayo-chan?" Sonoko tried to win her over.
Okada Yukiko nodded, "Indeed..."
Akina-san and Iwahashi-san both have quite a lot of experience in pretending to be garlic. But now, this self responds naturally and nonchalantly... Is it true that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black?
Okada Yukiko thought to herself as she faced Sonoko's enthusiasm for gossip.
However, it was just a teaser, and I haven’t read the text yet. I don’t know the more specific details of the gossip. Okada Yukiko didn’t know about it, and Sonoko couldn’t find out the information about her “escaping” in advance. This enthusiasm slowly faded away.
.
The two girls came out of the store and headed to the bowling alley. On the way, at a newsstand they passed by, a notice for "Weekly Bunshun" was displayed, with the eye-catching "Intense relationship! Nakamori Akina and GENZO President Shinichi Iwahashi"
, anyone who takes a quick look at it will not miss it.
“I’m really looking forward to the release date.”
Sonoko whispered something into Okada Yukiko's ear. She was quite excited, waiting to see the biggest gossip in months. Okada Yukiko was already immune to her friend's curiosity, so she just thought about it silently in her heart.
Do you want to call Akina-san?
Or should I call Iwahashi-san first?
…
The clerk's call came in, and Iwahashi Shinichi told Okada Yukiko that he had official business to deal with. After hanging up Okada Yukiko's phone, the clerk conveyed the release notice from "Weekly Bunshun".
"The news notice has been posted today." The clerk reported to him mechanically.
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised, "First release the trailer, and then inform this side?" This was because he had no intention of discussing with Kenyin and GENZO about suppressing the news. Although the process was not very polite, but considering it was "Shukan Bunshun", it was also
It's not something that can't be done.
He thought of this and put away the surprise in his heart, "It's just a release notice, no specific reports?"
The clerk replied, "No." After a pause, "In addition, a reporter from Wenchun who claims to be 'Sato' hopes to come to visit Iwahashi-san or conduct a telephone interview with you."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "What can I interview? I'm just a man in black who can't stand on the stage."
The clerk lowered his eyebrows and thought to himself, how could he be a "man in black who can't get on the stage", who is obviously very well-known among the general public. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a scandal with a top star like Akina Nakamori.
, the name is placed directly with her, rather than hidden in the subtitle.
This way of writing the title clearly treats him and Akina Nakamori as celebrities with similar popularity.
In terms of status, the famous producer and record company president is even above Akina Nakamori.
But when Iwahashi Shinichi said this, he made it clear that he did not intend to meet with Bunharu's reporter.
Especially when he didn't know what Shukan Bunshun reported and what the reaction from Yanyin was, it was even more impossible for him to act rashly.
With the style of Shukan Bunshun, it dared to report it as a headline, and did not discuss with the office to suppress the news. There must be ironclad evidence in hand. But Shinichi Iwahashi was a little unsure. When did he and Akina Nakamori be photographed?
of.
After the two paparazzi who sold photos to Yanyin broke things off, he and Akina Nakamori were dating at public expense these days, with Yanyin taking care of the schedule. The only free event was the music festival on Sunday.
At that time, he was recognized by more than one audience member. Maybe he was secretly photographed. But the photo was taken on Sunday and the headlines were announced on Tuesday. This was too fast to grab the headlines.
It was so fast that Iwahashi Shinichi felt it was unnecessary. Is this the power of Taopusida? After being photographed, he immediately wanted to make headlines and couldn't wait for a moment?
If this is the case, then I really have a solid understanding of what it feels like to be the man behind Taopu Star.
Iwahashi Shinichi put away his thoughts and told the clerk, "Anyway, let's initiate negotiations with Wenchun first and ask them to send over a copy of the specific report content." How to deal with it and how to arrange it, you must first know what is written.
OK.
The clerk got the order, agreed, and left.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, and it was made public more than half a month earlier than originally expected. Things that had been decided were made public a little earlier, which would not cause confusion. However, regarding the promotion of the new album, Warner may have to cooperate with
Make some slight adjustments on the yanyin side.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about making a phone call with Kenyin to exchange opinions. However, when he reached over and took off the receiver, he felt that he should not make the call, but Kenyin.
During this moment of hesitation, the phone suddenly rang.
He calmed down and picked up the receiver. It was Watanabe Wanyumi's call.
Iwahashi Shinichi knew what he was talking about and took the initiative to speak out, "Have I informed you?"
He intentionally used such business-like wording. Watanabe Mayumi didn't take it seriously and said to him, "At this moment, Takeda Printing Company should also have received relevant notifications."
She downplayed it, and Shinichi Iwahashi admitted defeat and told her, "I'm confused here."
"What are you confused about?"
Iwahashi Shinichi told Watanabe Wanyumi about his doubts just now.
Watanabe Wan Yumi listened silently and confirmed with him, "So, on Sunday afternoon, I went to the music festival with Nakamori-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Yeah", "We went to see it together."
"That's what you would do." Watanabe Manyumi replied lightly. However, she had no intention of continuing to dwell on this topic. She went straight to the point and expressed her thoughts, "Maybe it's not to grab the headlines, but
"Didn't you notice?" Watanabe Wan Yumi said, "After the music festival, in the newspaper on Monday, your name and GENZO's name appeared many times in the press release."
"If you don't tell me, I won't know how many times I have appeared in the draft."
Watanabe Manyumi was unhappy with his playful tone, "I still have the heart to joke now."
"Sorry, sorry." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "But I mean what I said. Unless my name appears in the title, there are so many newspapers that I can't even read it."
In fact, if Misa Watanabe had not reminded her, Manyumi Watanabe would not have read the newspapers one by one.
If you hadn't subscribed to many newspapers at once like the Watanabe family did at their old house, you wouldn't have realized that Iwahashi Shinichi's name had appeared many times unnecessarily. But the effect was that the readers who read the newspaper unknowingly
Unconsciously, the impression of "GENZO=Shinichi Iwahashi" was strengthened, and the reputation of Shinichi Iwahashi, the man in black behind the scenes, was also promoted.
"You mean," Shinichi Iwahashi understood, "before the music festival started, Shukan Bunshun reported that today's release notice was already being prepared...is that right?"
Watanabe Manyumi did not answer, but thought of her mother's words in her heart. It would be simple if they bought those drafts themselves.
At that time, Misa Watanabe’s implication was: What if someone else bought it?
