Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1328 1329. The Wheel of Fortune
There were people coming and going backstage before the concert, but amidst the chaos, there was a subtle orderliness.

The hired temporary workers wore black T-shirts with the concert logo and theme language printed on their chests, and hung their passes around their necks.The staff who followed Akina Nakamori wore suits and put their passes in their breast pockets.

As the staff entered the backstage through the relationship channel, Koyama Miho followed closely behind the young man who looked about his age.

She suppressed her curiosity, but still couldn't help but look around quietly.When I realized that the people who passed me with passes hanging around their necks were all staff members, I suddenly felt that the passes hanging around my neck were a bit conspicuous, and I couldn't help but blush.

If I had known earlier, I would have worn a T-shirt for Akina-san’s concert today.

However, although Koyama Miho was secretly annoyed in her heart, no one noticed her existence in the busy backstage.

……

A venue that can accommodate more than [-] people needs to temporarily hire [-] staff during the concert.

The daily salary is [-] yen, but the working hours last from morning to night, and you have to keep walking around the venue during the period, which is not a good part-time job.

But if it's a big star's concert, then it's another matter.

Although the organizer of the concert has the awareness to avoid hiring fans when looking for temporary staff, it is of course impossible to really avoid this kind of thing, especially when the daily salary of only [-] yen is not enough. When it is too easy to recruit temporary workers.

Akiko Kashiwagi didn't know if he was a fan of Akina Nakamori.

When she was still in junior high school, if someone asked her to work part-time at a star's concert, she would definitely refuse.Tired and troublesome, having to stand for a whole day, this kind of work, how can it compare to being called to be a golf girl, and can easily earn [-] yen a day.

The world has changed. Just a few years ago, golf girls were popular part-time jobs for young female students, but now, if you want to make some quick money, you probably have to be a bar girl.

And even if it is to accompany wine, it is impossible to reproduce the abnormal market price of [-] yen a day.

It wasn't until I left that life and looked back at it that I realized it was abnormal.Indulging in "abnormality", when one day returns to "normal", then what is waiting there will naturally be Honkai.

When the recession hits, the quality of the young women working in the lounge is surprisingly high.A senior comedian on TV blatantly said, "Although the economic downturn is bad, it is also a good thing that there will be many beautiful hostesses and customs girls."

The customers who went to the store, after a few glasses of wine, also joked with the new faces in the store——

"Kyoko-chan is able to work here, there is something to be grateful for in this era!"

...Anyway, these girls who love leisure and work hard, know that girls who are greedy for vanity will fall into the situation of becoming wine girls and customs girls, all of which are their own fault!
Kashiwagi Akiko has long been used to such words.

Exhausted from work, after carrying huge loans at the highest point of housing prices, they have to watch the housing prices fall. A girl who can play around with men.There are often drunken guests who use insulting words to the hostess.

Is it because you love leisure and hate work, do you know that you are greedy for vanity?Maybe that's right.Perhaps, only doing what you can and being a simple person is the real way of life.

However, in Kashiwagi Akiko's heart, when life has fallen to this point, it is not that there have been no doubts at all.

Why did it become like this?Is it all my fault?

Akiko Kashiwagi, who has made a mess of life, now says everything as if to justify himself, so he can only keep silent.

……

Working part-time at Akina Nakamori's concert for three days can earn [-] yen.

Akiko Kashiwagi will never forget that at the beginning, she just wanted to borrow 30 yen to tide over the difficulties, but after entering the small loan company, the people there gave her [-] yen, which was kind and polite Tell her not to worry.

After that, 30 became 170 million, and 170 million became 220 million.

The debt collector has to call the company where Kashiwagi works. The company will not leave anyone who has caused a debt dispute and may be collected at any time. Kashiwagi himself has no face to stay here any longer.She has no choice but to leave.

No, in fact, at that time, there was another road to choose from.

At that time, the debt collector proposed a way to postpone the collection, asking Akiko Kashiwagi to borrow 300 million from another loan company they introduced, and pay off the debt here first.To be able to raise money to pay off debts before new debts come due.

That seems to be a life-saving straw brought to the eyes.

Akiko Kashiwagi walked into the loan company because he was short of [-] yen in emergency. Faced with the idea of ​​delivering it to his door, he subconsciously wanted to agree.

...No need to think about anything, all in all, solve the immediate problem first.

It seems that Akiko Kashiwagi has been living with this idea all along.But that time, she hesitated.Afterwards, the debt collection call was made to the company, and Akiko Kashiwagi fled in despair.

In the days that followed, Akiko Kashiwagi felt very fortunate that he did not go to another company for a loan after listening to the debt collector at that time.

If she really did that at that time, just like the initial 220 yen would turn into 300 million, [-] million yen would be enough to drag her into hell.Although Akiko Kashiwagi's life had nothing to do with the word "tranquility" in the days that followed, she still felt that she did not fall into the real hell after all.

It's Miho Koyama.

At that time, Akiko Kashiwagi, who had no master, was hesitant for a while because of Miho's strong efforts to stop him.It was because of her hesitation that the loan company chose to give her some color—and called the company where she worked.

On the day when she met Miho Koyama for the last time, when Akiko Kashiwagi returned to the apartment, what awaited her was the landlord with a serious face who proposed to terminate the contract with her.

Zhang Zi borrowed [-] yen to tide over the difficulties in order to maintain his glamorous and decent life.But in the end, she quit the company, rumors spread among her colleagues about her debts, and she was evicted from the fancy apartment that once made her feel like she was finally living the life she wanted.

False glamor will always be exposed one day.Things with a deadline will expire sooner or later.The treasure that seems to be delivered to hand is actually marked with an unbearable high price on the back.

But at that time, Kashiwagi Akiko didn't understand all of this.

After moving out of that beautiful apartment, Akiko Kashiwagi cut off contact with everyone, including Miho Koyama.She fled Tokyo in a hurry at first, and a thought flashed in her heart: If she just escaped far away like this, she would be able to start again.

However, unless Akiko Kashiwagi disappears into the world, instead of starting over, the unpaid debt will snowball bigger and bigger.She escaped for a day, and the snowball grew a little bit, eventually crushing her to death under the snowball.

……

Before the start of the concert, the backstage was busy, and everyone was in a hurry.However, they are all ordered to participate in concert-related work. Although there are people coming and going, they are always in order.

Wearing a black T-shirt provided for the staff, Akiko Kashiwagi ran from the backstage to the auditorium, and then from the fire escape to the backstage.The cold air in the venue was blowing heavily, but she was still sweating profusely.

When I was a student, there was a time when someone recruited part-time gigs for a concert, and they targeted college students.When persuading the students, tell them that if they go to part-time jobs, they will have the opportunity to meet the stars themselves.

At that time, it seemed that some kind of music festival was going to be held, but Akiko Kashiwagi couldn't remember it clearly.But the reason why it left an impression is that when recruiting part-timers for concerts, it is rare to give the idea to the students at school.

I remember, I was participating in a fellowship with boys from Toyo University at that time. When the boys on the opposite side mentioned this incident, a female classmate who was traveling with me said something stupid, "Which star will participate? Shibushizi team or the youth team? Only for women? So will Kyoko-chan and Akina-chan go there?... What is there to do with such a part-time job.”

At that sorority party, because of the girl's problem, there was a moment of silence.

Akiko Kashiwagi still can't remember the name of the music festival, and he has no interest in the music festival.

However, today, indeed, I came to the backstage of Ming Cai-san's concert, and confirmed that it is purely a self-indulgent imagination to want to meet stars while working part-time in the concert venue.

In the huge venue and the winding passages in the backstage, most of the part-timers either run around the venue or get lost in the winding passages in the backstage. There is almost no chance to get close to the location of the star himself.

As for the echo of the audio equipment after the performance started, the staff's position was full of noise.

Among the [-] temporary part-timers employed, except for a few social activists, most of them are alone except for work.

Akiko Kashiwagi is one of many people.But a boy surnamed Sato came to strike up a conversation with her during the lunch break.

Sato is frivolous and talkative, and secretly flirts with Akiko Kashiwagi, because it is Akina-san's concert, and there are fans who want to sneak into the backstage under the guise of part-time jobs.

"I heard that this pass for temporary staff can be sold to the fans in front." Sato winked.Anyway, the backstage was in chaos, and no one would pay special attention to whether a temporary worker's face had changed.

It turns out that not only those who hire part-timers will use the ability to meet celebrities to attract people, but the part-timers who are hired are also secretly thinking of this.

Seeing Akiko Kashiwagi remained indifferent, Sato probed again, "Is Kashiwagi-san a fan of Akina-san?"

Akiko Kashiwagi didn't want to pay attention to him, got up and walked away.But afterward, this question popped up involuntarily in my mind.Is she a Mingna-san fan?

When she was a middle school student, Ming Cai-san became popular, and the girls in the class tried to imitate her, and the boys spontaneously formed Ming Cai-san's personal guards.But at that time, Akiko Kashiwagi was living in the hell of being bullied every day, and he didn't even dare to take a second look at the glamorous idols.

Later, after Akiko Kashiwagi became a beauty, she learned the makeup of Akina-san when she appeared in a fashion magazine, but she was not a fan.

After all, it was on that day, amidst the panic and embarrassment, that she casually echoed Miho Koyama's words, which made her really pay attention to Akina Nakamori.

Counting that Miho Koyama told everyone frankly that she was going back to watch the TV series starring Akina-san—on that occasion, Miho Koyama helped Akiko Kashiwagi twice.

But that time, it was not only Miho Koyama who helped Akiko Kashiwagi, but also Akina Nakamori.

Although a big star like Ming Cai-san will not know that there is someone who has been helped by her, he will not know that there are two girls because of her forged a friendship.

What's more, they don't know that one of the girls is running around the backstage of her concert at the moment.

Why did you sign up for a part-time job at Akina-san's concert?
Is it because of the part-time job fee of [-] yen, or because of the mentality of fans?
Akiko Kashiwagi felt that she was also a fan of Akina Nakamori, but her fan was different from the fans gathered in front of the venue now.

...But maybe, she is not the only fan who was rescued by Ming Cai-san in this way.

And the friends or lovers who became acquainted because of Akina-san must not only be her and Koyama Miho.

Although at that time, I left without saying goodbye, and never contacted her again.Perhaps Miho Koyama will blame herself in her heart...

However, in the past year and a half, Akiko Kashiwagi imagined in his heart several times that Miho Koyama was angry because he left without saying goodbye.But when she thinks of Koyama Miho, she still firmly believes in her heart that there is still a precious friendship between them.

Perhaps such thinking is selfish, but Kashiwagi Akiko is so convinced.

When she chooses to jump into the big dye vat of society in order to pay off her debts, walks towards a life that she once repulsed, and becomes a hostess in a bar, when she gritted her teeth, accompanied drinks at night and worked part-time during the day to make ends meet, when She faced every moment of either breaking down or falling into hell. In her life, in these years, the only friendship has supported Akiko Kashiwagi.

Because of living such a bad life, and because he regards the friendship with Miho Koyama as the support for living, Akiko Kashiwagi absolutely cannot contact Miho Koyama.

In her heart, she has always fantasized about a brand new life.When she has paid off her debts and can finally start over, she will meet Miho again.

...However, no matter how hard she tried, there was always a reason for that Gauri's snowball. After shrinking a little bit, the moment she relaxed a little, it got bigger again.
