Chapter 224: First Intimate Contact
In Shinjuku District, Tokyo, Seiko Matsuda, who had just finished taking a shower, was lying on the bed wrapped in a bath towel, flipping through the newspapers and magazines in her hands out of boredom.
When she relaxed, she raised her two little white legs high up and kicked them from time to time.
Alas~ I don’t know when that guy will return to Tokyo. The last time I called him, I just said a few words and then hung up. It seems he was very busy.
But speaking of being busy, I have been very busy this year.
Since debuting in April last year, we have been busy either releasing records or performing.
Within three months of debut, he could attract 5,000 to 8,000 people to his concerts.
This kind of result is definitely the best among newcomers in recent years, and he became an instant hit as soon as he debuted.
But we have to thank that guy for his debut song, the first album sold 400,000 copies.
Together with the Shirakawa Electric Walkman advertisement, these laid a solid foundation for her surge in popularity after her debut.
The most important thing is that during the New Year, I actually went to the red and white ceremonies!
It feels like a dream to be performing at the Kohaku Chorus in my first year after debut.
I don’t know if he saw himself on TV when he was in his hometown during the New Year.
I think I have watched it. After all, who doesn’t watch the Red and White Festival during the New Year?
But if that's the case, then uncles and aunts...
Seiko Matsuda nervously tightened the bath towel around her body; she felt her heart beating faster.
She threw the half-opened magazine aside and turned over to lie on her back.
As the movement progressed, the bath towel on her body loosened and fell to one side, exposing most of the two small hills.
Why was she so nervous? Feeling a little guilty, she reached for a newspaper and pretended to read it.
Hmm? Seiko Matsuda was attracted by the name in the newspaper.
Being so restless, he would even be in the newspaper when he returned to his hometown?
She became interested, but before she could read the content carefully, she was dazzled by the series of numbers.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands... She clumsily used her tender white hands to point at the numbers and count them one by one.
Sixty...sixty billion?! Cash!?
Seiko Matsuda sat up straight; this number made her brain freeze a little.
Because she had never imagined such a number, how much money has she earned after almost a year since her debut?
Ten million or twenty million yen?
Not giving up, she took the calculator from the bedside table and started pressing the buttons.
After much calculation, the number still didn't exceed 30 million.
Sixty billion...thirty million, the numbers on the calculator appeared rapidly, two thousand times!
Seiko Matsuda was stunned. Based on her current income, she would have to go without eating or drinking for 2,000 years to save 60 billion.
Two thousand years...
What else do you need a bicycle for?
Unable to sit still, she didn't even care about the dropped towel and picked up the phone to start dialing.
You might have to take it off later, so why bother?
"Beep...beep..." The phone rang twice and no one answered.
Seiko Matsuda sighed and hung up the phone. Alas, he didn't come back.
Sixty billion is indeed an unattainable number, but the thirty million of one's own also makes one feel at ease.
After being excited, she calmed down and secretly cheered herself up.
She was strong-willed and would not allow herself to be powerless.
…
In Chiyoda Ward, Yuko Tanaka, who had just finished taking a bath, was wrapped in a bath towel and rubbing her wet long hair while walking towards the phone.
But before she picked up the receiver, the phone fell silent again.
"Eh" Yuko Tanaka withdrew her hand in confusion. Is this another business friend?
Today she came early to clean up the accommodation for Shirakawa Kaede, after all, she would be returning to Tokyo tomorrow.
The house has been unoccupied for nearly a month, so it needs to be cleaned up.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Before Yuko Tanaka sat down, the phone rang again.
"Moshimoshi? Are you looking for Shirakawa Kaede-san? Sorry, he hasn't returned to Tokyo yet."
Yuko Tanaka was afraid that the phone would be hung up again, so she picked up the receiver and explained after it rang twice.
A business friend called me twice in a row, so it must be something urgent.
"Huh?" A surprised voice came from the receiver.
When Yuko Tanaka heard the young female voice on the other end, she immediately focused.
"I see. I'm Asuka Kobayashi, the head of the human resources department at Shirakawa Denki.
Thank you for letting me know, I will contact him when he returns.”
"Ha... ha..." While Tanaka Yuko was stunned, the person on the other end hung up the phone with a "click".
"Eh" Yuko Tanaka stared blankly at the phone in her hand. She always felt something was wrong.
…
In a high-end apartment in Suginami District, Tokyo, Asuka Kobayashi frowned and put down the phone.
Shirakawa-kun hired a nanny?
I haven't heard him say that.
If not, then...
Asuka Kobayashi frowned even deeper.
…
Japanese airspace.
On the plane, Shirakawa Kaede and Hasegawa were discussing this year's market conditions.
With the arrival of the new year, each company has begun its own business activities.
Some are ready to fight a big battle, while others have already quietly entered the battle.
The situation faced by Shirakawa Electric this year is much more complicated than last year.
Not to mention the previous competitors, the new players entering the market are also a concern.
But let’s talk about the details after we return to Tokyo.
This trip home was nominally for a vacation, but it turned out to be far from a relaxing vacation.
Not to mention the various investments and receiving visitors, the final bank acquisition alone took up a considerable amount of his energy.
After all, you have invested all your family fortune in it, so you have to be cautious.
Now that he had taken a break, his head had just touched the backrest and he felt a little sleepy again.
But when I close my eyes, all I can think of is the scene of saying goodbye to my parents.
He really wanted to ask about the situation at home and about his father and mother's past.
This time in Akita City, I don’t know if it was his illusion.
There were several times when Sasaki Kikuji looked at himself with a look that was a little... weird.
Yes, it's that kind of situation where you want to say something but end up saying nothing.
His intuition told him that this weirdness did not come from what they were talking about at the time.
So……
Forget it, Baichuan Feng pinched his brows and continued to close his eyes to rest.
The indifferent look in his mother's eyes at that time made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Since his mother didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't force her to ask anything.
I have come this far not because of some bloody plot like "Son of the God of War, the three-year period has expired."
Everything we have today was achieved step by step.
He deserves every achievement made by Shirakawa Electric.
Without golden fingers, systems, or hidden bloodlines, would you still feel uneasy about everything you have now?
Although the process is a bit slow, the unique sense of security also boosts people's confidence.
…
Tokyo, Haneda Airport.
After getting off the plane, Shirakawa Kaede said goodbye to Hasegawa, Kotaro and others, walked straight to a red Beetle, opened the door and got in.
Baichuan Feng moved his butt after getting in the car, and his head almost touched the roof of the car with the slightest movement.
"It's a bit too small." Baichuan Feng reached out and knocked on the car wall, making a muffled sound.
It’s true, although the cars of this era are not so good-looking, the materials used are still very solid.
"Sorry, I'll take Mercedes next time."
Yuko Tanaka said sorry but had a smiling face.
Shirakawa Feng couldn't help but laugh as he imagined the petite girl driving a bulky Mercedes.
It was Tanaka Yuko who volunteered to pick up Shirakawa Kaede today. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and she actually missed him a lot.
Back in Chiyoda District, Shirakawa Kaede's eyes lit up when he looked at the extremely exquisitely manicured garden in the front yard.
Sure enough, professional gardeners are different.
Various green plants and flowers are arranged in an orderly manner, with exquisite colors and shapes, giving people a warm and pleasant feeling at first glance.
Ever since Shirakawa Kaede moved in here, various configurations of the house have gradually been completed.
There is a full-time driver and a full-time gardener who comes to take care of the garden regularly.
"Haven't you found a suitable nanny yet?" Baichuan Feng entered the marble-paved entrance and turned around to ask.
The shiny floors are clean and radiant. These materials were previously flown directly from Italy and then used in the decoration of the house.
Before returning to his hometown a few years ago, he commissioned a service company to find a full-time nanny.
Yuko Tanaka also knew about this, but it was easy to find an ordinary nanny, but it was not so easy to find a professional one.
"According to the reply from the housekeeping agency, a full-time nutritionist and a housekeeper will come for an interview tomorrow.
I think there shouldn't be any problem." Tanaka Yuko took his outer suit and hung it up in the spacious cloakroom at the entrance.
Baichuan Feng nodded. In fact, he just wanted to find a nanny to help clean up the house.
After all, it's such a big place, he definitely doesn't have the time.
However, the service company strongly recommends various domestic talents and combination packages.
Baichuan Feng, who was too lazy to care, simply let them all match up. He thought it would be nice to be the master and be served by others.
After putting away his luggage, the first thing Baichuan Feng did was to go upstairs to take a shower.
After running around for a month, he urgently needed to take a hot bath to relieve his fatigue.
However, while a certain ignorant senior schoolmate was delivering clothes to him, he was directly pulled into the bathroom by the president who had been holding it in for almost a month.
So, the single bath turned into a bath for two, and finally they even took a bath on the bed.
Baichuan Feng became wet all over again, and he was too lazy to even move his fingers.
Tanaka Yuko, who had just been severely tortured, was now taking the trouble to massage his shoulders with her white and tender hands.
"Hmm~ It's so comfortable," Baichuan Feng muttered in a daze with his eyes slightly closed.
Seeing him relaxed, Tanaka Yuko also smiled with satisfaction.
"By the way, Senior, what did you say your firm was called last time?"
Baichuan Feng, who was lying on his stomach, turned his head slightly and asked about his senior's office.
"Eh." Tanaka Yuko gave him a strange look, "A small firm, Anima Publishing House."
Why does Shirakawa-kun, who usually doesn't care much about the entertainment industry, suddenly become interested in this?
"Any questions?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything after asking all the questions, Tanaka Yuko asked curiously.
"Nothing." Baichuan Feng moved his shoulders and let her continue.
“Prepare to buy it.”
"???" Yuko Tanaka blinked to make sure she heard it correctly.
"Buy it?" she confirmed again.
"That's right," Baichuan Feng admitted readily, "I always feel that being an artist is too hard, so in order to make my senior sister's life easier, I might as well be my own boss behind the scenes.
Think about it, in the future, the president-san will have to consider the acting invitation from the senior who is the chairman of the board.
I wonder if this will embarrass him? How about meeting him another day?"
Baichuan Feng imagined this interesting scene with a sense of humor and felt amused.
But Yuko Tanaka behind him fell into silence in a daze.
