Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 181

"Dad, I have grown up, I can take care of myself!" Fujiwara Sakura's eyes were full of longing.

"No, no, no!"

"mom!"

"Hey……"

"Anyway, I must go! I don't want to be trapped in such a small place all my life, I like Tokyo!" Fujiwara Sakura looked at the scene of Tokyo in the TV series, gritted her teeth firmly.

"you--"

This one is a quarrel, but the atmosphere in the other is different.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely pass the selection. If Shinichi wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I can go to Tokyo so that he doesn't have to work part-time. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I won't come back for summer vacation. Dad, you Did Shinichi gain weight? He said the food at their university was delicious. Ah, if he suddenly sees me in Tokyo, he will be very surprised hahaha..."

"...Don't talk so much at the briefing session tomorrow."

"I will pay attention! But the teacher only said that the opportunity is rare, and I don't know what kind of job it is. But with my energy and enthusiasm of Inoue Shinji, I will definitely pass. Don't worry, when I arrive in Tokyo, I will often give You guys called. I don’t know how much you will be paid, but Shinichi can earn that much by working part-time, even though I only graduated from high school, I won’t be ashamed!”

"...So I've said it all, don't talk so much."

"I know, I know... By the way, I heard that even the governor will come tomorrow. It looks like a very powerful club. Dad, do you think I should get up in the morning to get my hair done..."

At this time, in one of the best restaurants in Wakkanai, only Shizuo Nakatsu and Tatsuo Hamamori accompanied Tao Zhiming and Masahiro Ueda to eat.

"The two of you are so enthusiastic, it scares me." Ueda Masahiro could only bow his head to thank him after hearing him finish his arrangement for tomorrow.

Nakatsu Shizuru said: "In such a remote place as Soya, it is rare that there is a club from Tokyo that specializes in recruiting new members here, and it is such a big club. It is indeed a good opportunity for our young people here, and I would like to thank you The opportunities that Ueda-san brought to them."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tao Zhiming and said seriously: "I'm just worried that they don't meet President Tao's requirements."

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "The requirement is only high school graduation, and I just need them to have a diligent heart and a hardworking attitude. The work is not complicated, and there will be special training."

"Tomorrow they will see President Tao, maybe someone will recognize it." Nakatsu Shizuru said with a smile, "Although Soya is remote, the news from Tokyo before has also spread here. I didn't expect that what Ueda-san said The club is the property of Chairman Tao."

"...ashamed."

"Where! The University of Tokyo, that is the holy land that children yearn for. The ability of Chairman Tao to create so much wealth at such a young age will definitely make the children admire. In your club, the atmosphere will be different."

Nakatsu Shizuru is actually very gossipy in her heart.

With his position, he will of course pay attention to news about Tokyo.

Tao Dalang, who made such a big effort to pursue the daughter of the Ueda family, has been vacationing here with the head of the Ueda family for a month now.

It seems that it was a success.

The head of the Ueda family even cut him with a knife, which is really incredible.

"Actually, I am a little worried that everyone will be disappointed tomorrow. It turns out that it is just a newly established club." Tao Zhiming said modestly, "Actually, it is also because it is difficult to recruit talents in Tokyo. This time it is just some very basic clubs. Jobs, clerks, sales staff, waiters. If this makes everyone complain to the two, I apologize in advance, and trouble!"

"Where, no matter what, it's still Tokyo, and the salary is not comparable here. Besides, there are some positions that provide board and lodging."

Nakatsu Shizuru was amazed in her heart, she deserved to be a rare young talent like the news said.

Although he knew that he hadn't graduated from university yet, but his calmness and conversation when facing the two of them, he could only feel that he deserved to be the one who could compete with the head of Patriarch Ueda at this age.

It also succeeded.

After toasting a glass of wine, Tao Zhiming said: "Nakatsu-san, when I first came here, I thought that the place called Soya Hills was very beautiful, and the night view in Wakkanai was also very beautiful. This is where the neon lights are located, and tourists are not attracted to them. Less?"

"Actually, more tourists come to Hokkaido in winter. However, our place is too far north, which is inconvenient. There is too much snow in winter, and both agricultural industry and tourism are greatly affected by traffic and climate. "

Tao Zhiming nodded: "Indeed. The whole of Hokkaido is a place that everyone yearns for, but the northernmost Soya, except for a very northern point that is meaningful to set foot on Soya Cape, lacks other places that are particularly attractive enough for everyone to stay here. .”

Nakatsu Shizuru's heart moved, and he asked sincerely, "President Tao, what suggestion do you have?"

"It's just a preliminary idea." Tao Zhiming paused and said, "In short, I hope to create a music festival, so that people who love music can release themselves in this northernmost place far away from the pressure of the metropolis. vitality."

"Music festival?"

"Yes." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "You also know that my WanderDance is an entertainment club. Although it started as a dance hall, it is actually cultivating singers seriously. Does Nakatsu-san know about concerts? If in Soya In places like the hills, a stage is set up outdoors, and many well-known singers come here in three days, and everyone revels in the open air, and then plays in Zongya. If this is held year after year, it will become A cultural festival in Soya, right?"

"A lot of well-known singers come here?" Nakatsu Shizuru's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Tao Zhiming was very confident about this, and said with a smile, "Perhaps, there will be many singers who are loved by the entire neon nation. Among them, we have cultivated them."

"...Is that so?" Nakatsu Shizuru felt a little weird.

Starting from the dance hall and developing a singer who is loved by the whole neon nation?

Where does his confidence come from?

Although they don't know the reason for his previous success, both Nakatsu Shizuru and Hamamori Tatsuo are skeptical.

Isn't the ballroom open yet?

Sure enough, it was because he was successful at a young age, and he was overconfident...

……

In this neon northern place, the sunrise time is earlier than Tokyo.

After dawn, many people were already heading towards the Higher School of Commerce and Industry.

I was accompanied by family members. Anyway, the pace of life here is relatively leisurely, so this event can be considered a small event.

In the school's small indoor stadium, Yuta Irie and Keiji Nakamura were adjusting the audio equipment again.

In the next lounge, Izumi Sakai looked at the calm Hoshino Suzu with a little envy, and she couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Ling, aren't you nervous?"

Hoshino Ling laughed: "Don't be nervous."

"President, he wants to exercise our psychology when facing many people?"

Hoshino Ling nodded after thinking about it: "It should be."

Then she looked at Izumi Sakai and smiled again.

Izumi Sakai felt a little envious of her, but seeing her smile, he felt that strange feeling in his heart again.

Getting along for such a long time made her bolder, and she tried to ask: "Ling, why do you always look the same when you smile?"

Hoshino Ling was stunned, feeling a little inferior, probably because she had been laughing like this for a long time, and it had become a habit.

She looked at Sakai Quanshui a little enviously: "You... just smile and let me see?"

Sakai Quanshui was a little embarrassed, his eyes drifted away and he smiled awkwardly and replied: "What..."

"You... always smile with various feelings." The envy in Hoshino Ling's eyes is real, "It's very touching."

"What..." Sakai Izumi looked even more strange when he saw her eyes, "You are the most touching... The president is right, you are like a goddess."

"Goddess...?" Hoshino Ling thought of Master Tao's description of her future image, and a sweetness and longing that she had never experienced in her heart, "Can I become such a character?"

"Of course!" Izumi Sakai nodded again and again, "Your singing, performance..."

As she spoke, she felt weak again, and sighed softly.

Hoshino Suzu felt that every day after leaving Izu was different.

She no longer needs to live a similar life every day as in the past. Now, she also has a formal job and is expected to become a goddess.

And...she has colleagues.

It's a real colleague, a colleague who thinks he's great and treats himself like a friend he just met.

Friends, this is a relationship Hoshino Suzu never had.

Hoshino Ling took her hand: "Sister Quanshui, Tao Jun said, everyone has their own characteristics. I also like your singing voice, and your shy and uncomfortable look."

"……Really?"

"Really. Because... it's true." Hoshino Ling said seriously, "Do you understand? It's true. I think Tao Jun thinks that I am suitable to be the feeling that is far away from everyone, but you seem to be very close to everyone. Yes, it seems to be the feeling of being around. Therefore, Tao Jun thinks it’s better if you don’t need makeup. Just be yourself, your true self.”

Izumi Sakai said in a daze: "I'm worried that on the real stage, I won't be able to let go. I'm afraid of seeing other people, I don't remember how to perform, and I'm just stupid... Ling, how can I be like you? Can you perform naturally and smoothly in front of so many people?"

Hoshino Ling was also dumbfounded by her question.

How can it be done?

Since I can remember since I was a child, every move has been trained to this state.

So she replied seriously: "You don't need to be like me, Sister Quanshui. Believe Master Tao, he thinks you don't need to practice any dances, you don't need to learn how to perform, it must be right. You only need to do what you want to do most, Sing every song well."

"Master Tao...?" This was the first time Izumi Sakai heard this address from her mouth.

Hoshino Ling was startled: "Sorry..."

The real emotion she showed suddenly gave Sakai Izumi a feeling that in the time she had known her for so long in the past, this was the only emotion she had that was the most real.

Sometimes because things are not done well, the panic of immediately apologizing.

"...Ling, I'm just a little curious. What's wrong with this title?"

"It's nothing!" Hoshino Ling shook his head quickly, and then showed the same smile as before, "It's just that... I think Tao Jun is very powerful."

"Ling, you were the first singer to be found by the president. How did he meet you?"

Hoshino Ling felt her heart lift, stood up and said, "It's almost time to prepare."

After finishing speaking, she took out the Walkman that Tao Zhiming had given them and began to listen to the accompaniment. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes were trembling.

Izumi Sakai originally thought that chatting with her would help relieve tension, so when he heard this, he hurriedly listened to the song he was going to sing later.

In the stadium outside the room, Hokkaido Governor Kozo Matsukata had arrived. Hearing Ueda Masahiro's introduction, he couldn't help asking Tao Zhiming in surprise: "There is still a performance at the briefing?"

"Yeah, in order not to let everyone worry about the strangeness of my WanderDance ballroom, let everyone know that we are different from the ballroom in everyone's impression. And, maybe from our singer's singing, the governor can confirm the date of the music festival." Potential." Tao Zhiming faced Xiao Zang Songfang, who could be regarded as a high-ranking official, and his attitude was indisputable.

As for Kozura Matsukata, who knew very well what disturbance this young man caused in Tokyo before, he immediately smiled and said, "If Mr. Tao planned it himself, it must be our Hokkaido's luck!"

On the side, Nakatsu Shizuo and Hamamori Tatsuo looked at each other.

Why does the Governor pay more attention to the appearance of this young man than the head of the Ueda family?

The students sitting in the gymnasium and the teachers and principals of the three schools couldn't help being a little excited when they saw that the governor had really come.

What kind of a big club is it that will come to Wakkanai to recruit members, and you can try to apply only after graduating from high school?

In the venue, teachers including Yuta Irie and Keiji Nakamura who helped temporarily collected the resumes filled out by the students and handed them to Tao Zhiming.

Since it's an on-site briefing, and others are here, it's better to show that you pay more attention to this matter.

So he said: "Nakamura-kun, first introduce our WanderDance, and then invite Suzu and Izumi to come out. Taking this time, let me take a look at everyone's resume."

Nakamura Keiji bowed to him, and Fujiwara Sakura looked at him from a distance, and suddenly felt that the young man who was bowed and sitting next to the governor was very familiar.

But after a while, her attention has shifted to the center of the field that was vacated in front.

"I'm sorry. Entrusted by the chairman, please allow me to introduce WanderDance Entertainment Co., Ltd., which needs to recruit 20 boys today. WanderDance is actually a club with music as its main direction, and I am the head of the music production department. This time, we are recruiting waiters for our theater-style ballroom in Minato-ku, Tokyo."

"This is a very formal job, and we are also a club that intends to seriously lead the music trend. Now, while the chairman is looking at everyone's resumes, please first appreciate the singers and original works created by our WanderDance. These two This is a work, but this is the first time I meet you. First of all, our singer, Hoshino Suzu!"

Facing the special briefing, these young people cheered immediately after graduating from high school.

So there is still a live concert to listen to?

Ballroom, a lot of boys already think it's great.

Irie Yuta opened the door over there, and then Hoshino Suzu walked out with a smile.

In the small indoor stadium, the noisy atmosphere just now quieted down.

Because I was amazed all of a sudden.

Only Shizuo Nakatsu and Tatsuo Hamamori, who met her first yesterday afternoon, had this foresight.

Seeing the children who broke out with greater enthusiasm after being quiet for a while, they suddenly understood what Tao Zhiming said about the music festival.

"Thank you. Then, I will sing a new song for you, called "Trace"."

After the music started, the older ones were stunned, but the eyes of the young men and women were all lit up.

"I remembered!" Fujiwara Sakura excitedly tugged at the classmate next to her, "It's that Tao Dalang! Do you remember that Tao Dalang from 'Marriage Proposal Battle'! Hoshino Suzu, that advertisement! Do you remember?"

Hearing the discussion behind him, Xiaozang Songfang, who was not quite used to the music style, smiled, tilted his head and said to Tao Zhiming: "Tao Jun, your reputation has been known here all along."

Tao Zhiming smiled modestly: "I'm sorry, I was so passionate at the time."

Kozo Matsukata looked at Ueda Masahiro, and pursed his lips meaningfully and smiled.

A short song is like a surprise. For this kind of music that is somewhat different from the current popular music style, these young people are undoubtedly the easiest to accept.

At this time, Hoshino Suzu bowed and said: "Today, maybe many people can have the expectation of going to work in Tokyo. The song I will sing next is called "Stay Gold". I hope everyone can keep the precious Face the new life with sincerity and hope.”

Izumi Sakai bravely walked out of the room, wanting to shrink back as soon as he went out.

So many people!
