man in tokyo, professional boyfriend

Chapter 370 [369] Interview (third)
"Boom~Dang~"

The fingertips pressed on the black and white keys of the piano, making a dull sound.

Aiba Chiho put down the phone, swayed like a willow leaf falling down on the keys of the piano, and made a helpless purring sound like a kitten.

In the other hand, he was still holding the unrevised demo composition.

Although I just spoke mature words to Iori confidently like an adult, but
'There is no inspiration to continue modifying it at all. '

'What kind of feeling do other people like? '

Aiba Chiho was lying on the keys, her slightly dark circled eyes were slightly squinted, and she looked at the slightly blurred score, thinking with some puzzlement in her heart.

His energy was a little low, and he was so sleepy that he just wanted to yawn.

But after wobbling for a while, she finally stood up from the chair, walked unsteadily to the cabinet, took out two donuts from it, bit them, and ate them very quickly.

Although I bought it yesterday afternoon, it has softened a bit by now, but the sweetness still gave her a feeling of spiritual shock—after all, she hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, so it’s the same. normal.

After eating two donuts in a few bites, Aiba Chiho even seemed to raise her eyelids which were almost drooping due to sleepiness.

After waiting until he kneaded gently, he stretched his waist as if nothing happened.

There was a comfortable muffled sound of 'Mmmmmmm—' from my mouth.

Only the red circles around her eyes showed the fact that she hadn't slept all night thinking about it.

Standing up straight again, looking around the center of the room, he saw that the room was almost full of waste paper.

Aiba Chiho scratched her messy little head, showing a helpless smile.

'If Sister Ai sees this situation, she will definitely be scolded, right? '

'correct!She seemed to say that she would go there with me today! '

As if thinking of something important, Aiba Chiho reacted abruptly, ignoring the marks left on her face that night without sleep, hastily took the wastebasket from the side, knelt on the ground and moved quickly I picked up the waste papers that had been thrown away randomly one by one, and quickly cleaned up various traces on the ground with a small broom before I had time to take a look at the phone.

Nine past four.

There is still nearly an hour before the scheduled departure time with Sister Ai,
enough!
Just as he was about to straighten up and go to the bathroom to wash his head and face quickly, he heard the clear doorbell ringing from outside the hallway.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ugh?!"

Aiba Chiho's small body froze and couldn't help but stay in place.

'Isn't it Miss Ai? '

'No, it's too early. '

With this in mind, Miss Chiho slowly crawled to the entrance like a puppy without making a sound, pretending that there was no one in the room, and quietly glanced outward along the thick one-way door opening. go.

Outside the door, a very mature urban beauty in a standard women's suit, rounded up and downturned, was standing at the door, holding a mobile phone in her hand and looking at the time.

It was Ai Takitani.

"Eh?"

Aiba Chiho let out a low cry.

However, it was just such a soft call, but it was accurately captured by Takiya Ai who was standing outside the door, and she raised her head very sharply, and said angrily, "Chiho? You are at the door!"

"I heard it all!"

"Open the door!"

Ai Takitani's tone was unceremonious, as if she was already very familiar with Chiho Aiba.

"Click."

The heavy door was opened with a small gap, and there was still a door chain hanging in the middle, and a small head that was vigilant about the surroundings popped out from behind, Fang looked around as soon as he came out.

Seeing that there was no one else, he boldly opened the door to Ai Takitani and gave her a flattering smile.

"Wow~"

Captions on mobile phone in hand.

[Love Sang!Good morning! 】

Takitani Ai went straight in with brisk steps as usual, and as soon as the door closed, she held Aiba Chiho's soft and tender face with both hands and looked around.

Then, with an obviously bad tone, he said:
"Good for what?"

"Chiho, have you stayed up late again?"

What he said was obviously a question, but the tone was full of conviction.

I also knew that if she hadn't stayed up all night, she wouldn't have been able to get evenly distributed red bloodshot eyes.

"Hey. Hey"

Aiba Chiho, who was hugged by Ai Takitani, turned her head away with a cute smile, trying to pass the test in front of Ai Takitani.

But obviously, this trick has no effect on her.

Just when she noticed that Chiho was turning her head away a little bit, Takitani Ai unceremoniously grabbed her pink and tender face and pulled it back, causing the expression on Chiho's face to change shape, baring her teeth and claws. She waved her limbs, but didn't dare to break free.

In the end, he had no choice but to look at Ai Takiya pitifully, showing a cowering gaze like a little beast begging for mercy.

"I said you. This is the first time!"

Whenever Ai Takitani saw her pitiful eyes, she couldn't stop her motherly soft-heartedness. She poked Chiho's cheek with her fingers and taught: "It's only been a while. I have stayed up three or four nights!"

"Didn't you say it yourself--'You can't rush to write songs and compose music. Even if you pass this meeting and get the contract from Nagasawa's office, you will keep your schedule!' You You promised me that at the time, right?"

"."

Noticing Takitani Ai's extremely aggressive gaze, Aiba Chiho lowered her head weakly.

Takiya Ai did not give in, and emphasized:

"Yeah~?"

".Ugh."

It wasn't until the end that he nodded slightly with a weak look.

Seeing her nodding, Takiya Ai's posture relaxed a little, and she said angrily, "Really, I came here early to check on the situation just because I knew you were disobedient, as expected."

Hearing what she said, Aiba Chiho couldn't help giggling, picked up the phone and started typing again.

[Sorry~ I made sister Ai worry! 】

Glancing at the line of subtitles on the phone, Ai Takiya rolled her eyes, stretched out her fingers and tapped Chiho's forehead lightly:
"You know it too!"

"Hey hey~"

Saying that, Ai Takitani turned around, brought over the handbag she was carrying just now, unbuttoned it and said casually: "You haven't had a serious meal since last night, right? Just right, I cook it at home I’ll bring you some, eat it while it’s hot, and then we’ll take the tram to Nagasawa’s office later, we can’t delay things over there.”

"That's an opportunity you took so hard to seize, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as she heard 'Nagasawa Office', Aiba Chiho's eyes suddenly seemed to be a little lively, and she nodded vigorously.

Even the long hair on the back was flicked, causing waves.

Seeing her positive appearance, Takiya Ai suddenly sighed again: "If it wasn't for your voice, it would be the best choice to compose music and sing it yourself, what a pity."

Just in the middle of the conversation, from the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed Qiansui's suddenly desolate gaze.

Ai Takitani stopped her mouth abruptly, suddenly realizing that she had said something stupid.

".Hurry up and eat! I made dashi and beef donburi today!"

She quickly handed over the lunch box.

"Wow~"

The moment the lunch box was opened, Aiba Chiho, who had just stuffed two donuts to fill her stomach, suddenly had a bright light in front of her eyes, as if she was shining.

[Thank you, sister~!you are the best! 】

The girl raised the phone with a smile on her face, and immediately picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened, and began to eat with a swish.

The dishes prepared by Ai Takitani were not very rich, but it was enough for Chiho who had a small bird stomach.

In a short while, the girl quickly cleaned up the meal driven by hunger.

After the last mouthful of fish soup was poured down, he stroked his slightly distended belly comfortably, and sighed in comfort.

"Okay, Chiho, go and wash yourself quickly."

"The appointment with Nagasawa's office is at eleven o'clock, right? I'll just take care of these things! Don't be rude in front of others."

"Um!"

The girl stood up from the ground with a whoosh, gave a standard military salute, and then walked into the bathroom with small steps and bouncing with a smile.

After a while, there was the sound of swishing showers from inside.

Looking at the back of the girl going away, Ai Takiya sighed helplessly and cleaned up the battlefield on the table.

Just as he was packing up, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the wastebasket which was filled to the brim and hadn't had time to be emptied yet.

From the corners of the group, traces of modification can be vaguely seen.

Ai Takiya sighed silently.

The Japanese entertainment industry is not a big or small circle. If newcomers with no background want to be famous in this circle, they have to participate in various competitions, submit songs to various firms for selection, and buy them all through "regular channels". Red, or slowly accumulate fans through the network route.

If you want to take the 'convenient route', you should obviously choose the former.

Even though Chiho had been depressed for a while because of her voice, she still had a solid foundation in music, and she attended Dongyi University, which is very strong in art, so the score she sent out was still included in many offices. Initial test and retest.

It's just that, in the end, they will be dismissed because there is no suitable singer, the style of the song does not match the firm, and other reasons.

During this period of time, Chiho also continued to improve and improve herself, finalizing and overturning over and over again. Finally, a song was spotted by the famous Nagasawa office, and a receipt was sent through the mailbox.

But for some unknown reason, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of accepting the song directly, but asked Chiho Aiba to have an interview with them.

The time is set for today.

Ai Takiya knew in her heart that although that silly girl pretended to be very relaxed, she must have attached great importance to the interview with Nagasawa's office today, right?

"Ugh."

"Really."

[Love sister!love sister! 】

Well prepared, Chiho Aiba and Ai Takitani, who came to the entrance of a five-story office building in formal clothes, stood still in front of the stone stairs in front of them. Chiho suddenly raised her phone nervously at Ai Takitani.

[It shouldn't look weird for me to wear this, right? 】

While holding up her mobile phone, Aiba Chiho looked down at the dress she was wearing with some worry.

When I was at home, in order to make myself look a little more mature, I learned this kind of dress from Aijie, but now I looked at the mirror at the door, and the girl suddenly became a little shy again.

This style doesn't match at all!

"it does not matter."

Ai Takitani has been through battles for a long time. As a professional working woman, she has seen or heard too many things, whether she was a broker in Shinjuku back then, or later accompanied an old friend to start a cowboy shop. After getting used to the big wind and waves, facing this kind of rookie debut battle scene, he seemed very relaxed.

"To Chiho-chan, your most important 'decency' is the sheet music in your bag, not the clothes you wear."

Hearing this, Aiba Chiho was subconsciously startled.

Then suddenly he laughed a little strangely.

Ai Takitani turned to look at her strangely:

"what happened again?"

Aiba Chiho covered her mouth with one hand, and quickly typed on the phone with the other.

【fine. 】

[It's just a feeling that Sister Ai felt like 'Ah!He is a very powerful adult! 'a feeling of. 】

"You!"

Takitani Ai tilted her head with a look of reluctance.

After waiting outside for a while, the two came out from the shade near the gate when there were only 10 minutes left before the meeting time.

Takitani Ai took the lead like a parent leading a child, like a parent leading a child, leading Aiba Chiho all the way to the gate of the small building with the sign of 'Nagasawa Office'.

After inquiring about the corresponding meeting place at the front desk, the two of them took the temporary card issued by the front desk and clocked in all the way to the elevator.

In contrast, Chiho-chan, a newcomer who debuted, obviously had the intention of playing soy sauce, but just watched Ai Takitani in a daze.

It wasn't until they got on the elevator that there were only two people left in the narrow space, that Chiho carefully raised her phone.

[Sister Ai, this office seems to have strict access control? 】

【Is it really a powerful firm? 】

"Eh?"

After Takitani finished reading, she frowned before she could react at first: "Don't Chiho know?"

【what do you know? 】

Aiba Chiho opened a pair of very dazed eyes.

Ai Takiya took a deep breath, and said with a serious face: "Nagasawa's office, it's the professional office of Nagasawa Eucalyptus, a senior in the entertainment industry!"

"Although we are only discussing the use of the repertoire with one of her managers this time, if we are lucky, we may be able to meet a real person!"

"Eh?!"

Aiba Chiho was startled when she heard the words, and then the fingers under her hands were so fast that they almost pulled out afterimages.

[Nagasawa Yugali is... Miss Nagasawa Yugali who has been to the Red and White Song Concert a few times? ! ] (Note: Equivalent to the National New Year's Party)
She had obviously heard of the name of that senior in the entertainment industry, and her big dazed eyes suddenly widened.

The little hand held the phone tightly.

Seeing her shocked appearance, Takiya Ai suddenly covered her face helplessly: "Hey, I thought Chiho-chan was so serious because she knew it a long time ago! Damn it! I should have thought of it a long time ago, you natural stay!!"

"Hey~"

Aiba Chiho grinned vigorously, but couldn't laugh anymore.

I was so nervous that my legs shook a little.

Even if she had confidence in the song in her hand before, after hearing this thunderous name, she didn't dare to give her the slightest guarantee for this interview.

"Ding dong."

The elevator arrived at the station, and the door slowly opened.

Aiba Chiho first subconsciously trembled a little, then hesitated for half a second when she saw the opened door.

In the end, he stepped out firmly.

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Takiya Ai's heart that was still on hold slightly relaxed a little.

This kid is really stubborn.

Thoughts flashed through for a few rounds, and Takiya Ai also quickly stepped out of the elevator without any burden.

The sound of footsteps and high-heeled shoes echoed in the empty corridor, and the meeting room they agreed upon was at the end of the walk.

"Dong dong."

Before Chiho Aiba took the initiative to knock on the door, Ai Takitani quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door for her as a temporary manager.

"Please come in."

A calm female voice soon came from the room.

The moment they heard the voice, whether it was an illusion or not, the two women seemed to be relieved by coincidence.

It wasn't the voice of Miss Nagasawa Yugari.

Pushing open the door, I saw a seasoned woman in formal suit with short hair and trousers about forty years old, standing up from the sofa in the meeting room while holding her glasses, and nodded politely to the two.

Her gaze first quickly scanned the two people's attire, and then her pupils quickly locked on Aiba Chiho, who stood slightly back and looked younger, with long hair reaching her waist like a waterfall, and her voice was slightly hoarse , appearing a little harsh.

"This is Miss Aiba Chiho, right?"

"Please sit down."

"I'm a full-time broker at Nagasawa's office, and I'm born Tianmu Ruka. I should have briefly introduced it in the email before."

"May I ask who this is?"

Miss Sheng Tianmu's speech in front of her was very fast, her voice was hoarse and her tone was equally severe, giving people a sense of resolute and capable.

However, in terms of professionalism, Takitani Ai was obviously not to be outdone. First, she led the slightly weak Aiba Chiho to sit down on the opposite sofa with a calm aura, and then began to introduce herself:

"Hello, Ms. Sheng Tianmu, I am Ms. Aiba's temporary manager, and I am in charge of negotiating the contract for this track."

"My name is Takiya Ai."

After a brief self-introduction, the two parties began to talk about a few simple points in the previous electronic contract.

During the whole process, Chiho Aiba, who was only in charge of writing and composing the music, listened in a ignorant manner, keeping her mouth shut all the time, not revealing the slightest gap, so as not to cause trouble for Ms. Takiya.

After one or two rounds of testing, the two sides found that the other party was not considered a newcomer to society, and then began to talk about really important matters.

".Miss Aiba's request, I have roughly understood it."

Sheng Tianmu Ruhua's tone was unhurried: "As for the patent price of this song, the price we give is this amount."

As she said, she made a five in one hand, and stretched out an index finger in the other hand to stick to the palm.

"60."

"Buy the original patent of this song, including copyright."

Ai Takitani was startled when she heard the price, and subconsciously glanced at Chiho Aiba next to her.

Not because it's too low, but because it's too high.

According to the price that the two of them had discussed and consulted before, most of the songs of the new lyricists, even if all the patents are counted, only one copyright is left, which is at most between 30 and [-]. mentally prepared.

But now, the price has soared to twice what they expected.

Aiba Chiho next to her was obviously also taken aback,
But the reason for being dazed was different from Takitani Ai's.

Ruka Shengtianmu didn't seem to notice the gazes of the two of them at all, and said to herself: "Ms. Takiya, you should understand that this price is already considered top-notch for newcomers, and even many professional musicians don't buy it every time. You can get a piece of music at this price.”

"The reason why our office gave so much is basically because of Miss Aiba's honor."

While she was speaking, Takitani Ai poked Aiba Chiho's leg with a slight movement.

This is the secret signal that the two of them agreed upon before they came.

As long as one of the parties makes a similar gesture, it means that there is intention to move.

However, Aiba Chiho held tightly to the hem of the skirt, as if hesitating for something.

"...But apart from that, we have another temporary request."

Ruka's voice came here, and she looked seriously at Chiho Aiba who kept her head down and seemed not to be moved by her conditions.

"Our firm wants the exclusive right to use your tracks, and the priority to choose."

The two people on the opposite side were startled.

Such a clause is almost equivalent to wrapping up her newcomer as a lyricist.

Isn't this too overbearing? !
Before Ai Takitani had time to refute, she saw Chiho Aiba next to her as if she had been untied suddenly, jumped up from the sofa with a whoosh, and bowed deeply in the direction of Ruka Kazumeme.

He raised his phone high in his hand.

[Sorry, I can't agree. 】

[Whether it is copyright or exclusive use rights, I have promised others. 】

【I am so sorry. 】

After leaving only these two messages, she turned to Ai Takitani with a cheerful smile on her face, waving her hand in a seemingly casual manner, signaling to retreat.

Ai Takitani suddenly saw Chiho Aiba's decisive appearance, and she didn't seem to react for a while, but her professionalism still prevented her from suddenly losing her composure. The polite Miss Asao Tianmu said hello, and then followed Chiho Aiba Sui strode out the door together.

Although the turning point of the whole process was quick, Ruka Shengtianmu, who was sitting opposite the sofa, didn't seem to feel the slightest surprise, and just watched the two leave the room calmly.

It wasn't until the footsteps gradually faded away that she didn't intend to turn back, she stood up from the sofa and walked slowly to the cubicle next to the room.

"Miss Nagasawa, she refused."

Sheng Tianmu Ruka reported to the woman in the cubicle in a calm voice.

The woman called Miss Nagasawa was lying in front of the window, looking at the buildings outside, looking far away, she didn't seem to be surprised by what happened outside.

Hearing Miss Sheng Tianmu's report, he just waved his hand casually and said casually:
"normal."

"After all, he is the child of the Aiba family."

"carry on."

"Yes."

"correct."

As he said that, Nagasawa Yugali seemed to suddenly think of something, and he ordered casually: "Help that Miss Aiba to publicize the identity and deeds of their Aiba family, and send her another invitation when she is desperate. It can be regarded as saving the office a lot of money.”

Sheng Tianmu Ruka was startled for a moment, and didn't seem to be able to react: "The story of their family refers to the Aiba who offended Mr. Zhou Fang a few years ago?"

"You guessed it right."

Nagasawa Yugali smiled casually: "Remember to be smart and buy the book and signature together. The price can be higher. That kid's talent is good, at least he won't lose money."

"However, don't reveal your secrets. It will be a disaster if people from Mr. Zhou Fang's side find out accidentally."

Seeing Miss Nagasawa speaking in such a relaxed tone, Sheng Tianmu Ruka didn't even dare to lift her head, but just silently listened to her orders.

It wasn't until he went out that he breathed a sigh of relief.
