Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1538 1539. Get used to it

The first month of the year is when the extremists are most active and lively.

Inagawa Seijiro's mansion, a buffet was held from New Year's Eve. The cadres of the group came and went, black luxury cars filled the parking lot, and the number of police patrol bicycles passing by increased.

The tacit and subtle understanding between the underworld and the white world is reflected in this.

The first month of the year is also the busiest time for comedians and enka singers. They are needed to fill in the special programs on TV, and the Yakuza also likes to invite these people to perform to liven up the atmosphere. When the artists leave the Yakuza mansion, they go to the TV station studio. Everyone knows it, but no one talks about it.

In the first month of the year, Iwahashi Shinichi went to visit Inagawa Seijiro. Seeing the appearance of the mansion at this moment reminded him of the scene he saw when he visited the Watanabe family during the New Year. In a sense, the entertainment industry is equivalent to the Yakuza.

If you are a gangster, you will be trapped in the encirclement. Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi hopes that the GENZO system will be more modern. If you want to get rid of the smell of gangsters, the first thing to do is to reject the pyramid structure.

……

Before the winter vacation is over, Ayumi Hamasaki will return to Tokyo from Fukuoka. Her mother Akiko will send her to Tokyo, and Shinichi Iwahashi has received the news in advance, arranged for a driver to pick her up, and booked a hotel.

Given Zhangzi's personality, since it is a rare opportunity for her to come to Tokyo, she would definitely stay for two days and sightsee.

Akina Nakamori seemed relieved to hear that Ayumi Hamasaki was back. Shinichi Iwahashi was surprised by his wife's reaction, but she said, "Shinichi doesn't understand at all."

Iwahashi Shinichi replied: "I just didn't understand it at first, but now I'm even more confused after hearing what you said."

"Ayu once said, 'If I had known, I wouldn't have come to Tokyo.'" Akina Nakamori repeated the old words.

"That was something she said in anger a long time ago."

Akina Nakamori shook her head. "Anyway, after she returned to Fukuoka, she came back to Tokyo. I really think that's great."

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know how to respond to her strange idea, but he also realized from her words that his wife had a subtle sense of responsibility for Ayumi Hamasaki, which formed a strange contrast with his own deliberate avoidance of paying attention to the girl's inner thoughts.

In a sense, the couple is of one mind.

Ayumi Hamasaki returned to Tokyo, and Utada Hikaru will be back from New York soon. Shinichi Iwahashi promised the two girls that he would take them to record a radio program to promote the debut album of the "Kurita and Hikaru" group.

Since the Utada Terumi and his wife had finished their field trip, Utada Hikaru's stay at home also came to an end. From then on, the only girl living at their home was Ayumi Hamasaki.

When Ayumi Hamasaki came to Tokyo, Utada Hikaru was already living at home. Now, thinking that there would be only this girl at home from now on, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly felt a little strange about how to get along with her.

Strangely enough, when Hikaru Utada was the only girl at home, Shinichi Iwahashi never had such an idea. He told this idea to Akina Nakamori, and she smiled in return.

"We have indeed never lived alone with Ayu."

She said it as a matter of course. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but smile, realizing that he was being too formal. "That's true."

……

Every time she comes to Tokyo, Zhang Zi is very excited. In the past, the mother and daughter were in sync, but this time, the mother made her daughter look very calm. Zhang Zi said to her daughter, "Ayu already has the temperament of a Tokyoite."

In fact, some people in school whispered that she was a country bumpkin. Ayumi Hamasaki asked: "What is the temperament of Tokyo people?"

"I'm used to it." Zhang Zi said without hesitation.

Ayumi Hamasaki thought it was funny, "Then my mother will get used to it after living in Tokyo for a while."

"This is also a kind of 'getting used to it', Ayu-chan." Ayumi Hamasaki didn't quite understand what her mother was saying, and felt that her mother was speaking some wise words. She couldn't understand that Zhangzi's attitude at the moment was actually homesickness.

Zhang Zi changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "How about I come to live in Tokyo too?"

She discussed it with Ayumi Hamasaki.

Before the options of being happy or unhappy, Ayumi Hamasaki's first reaction was surprise, "Mom is coming to Tokyo? Seriously?"

Not only Ayumi Hamasaki, but even Akiko herself was surprised when she came up with this idea.

I was born and raised in Fukuoka, and I have a daughter, so my roots are firmly planted in Fukuoka. Even though I love the fashion and bustle of Tokyo, I have never thought about entering that kind of life.

The root cause of these changes was the year when Shinichi Iwahashi found Ayumi Hamasaki, who was just a child model.

At that time, he didn't expect that he would plant a seed in his daughter's heart. The daughter who said she didn't want to be a singer went to Tokyo and is now working hard to become a singer.

Ayumi Hamasaki's life choices have shaken Zhang Zi's life.

This winter vacation, Ayumi Hamasaki returned to Fukuoka. After hearing her daughter talk about Akina Nakamori's pregnancy, Akiko finally made up her mind and decided to take action.

"You come to Tokyo, and from now on, I will live with you again."

After Ayumi Hamasaki said this, she closed her mouth and said nothing more.

……

As soon as she arrived in Tokyo, Zhangzi contacted Iwahashi Shinichi, hoping to come and visit him. After agreeing on a time, she brought her daughter to visit him.

In the new year, Zhang Zi is still as charming as ever. She presented Fukuoka specialties to thank Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori for taking care of their daughter in the past year.

This was also the first time that Ayumi Hamasaki came to the Iwahashi family after the New Year. She looked very obedient following her mother.

Seeing Akina Nakamori's current appearance, Zhang Zi was very moved. "For fans, seeing this is like a miracle..."

She congratulated the couple.

It was the first time for the couple to hear someone send such a blessing, and they were quite surprised. Zhang Zi smiled and said, "The birth of a new life is a miracle, especially when it happens to someone who dreams of it."

As soon as this middle-aged woman spoke, I could see the shadow of Ayumi Hamasaki in her expression. For a moment, these words seemed not only a blessing, but also a kind of emotional expression.

"It's also amazing that you raised a daughter like Ayu." Akina Nakamori responded with motherly kindness.

The change of identity often happens quietly. Shinichi Iwahashi realized that this was a conversation between mothers and knew that he could not interrupt, so he just kept silent.

"Ayu is a little willful, but she's a good kid... I've been taking care of you and Iwahashi-san these days, and I've caused you a lot of trouble."

Zhang Zi lowered her head and said another reason for her visit. She planned to move from Fukuoka to Tokyo, and after she settled down in Tokyo, she would take Ayumi Hamasaki with her and live with her daughter.

The feeling of strangeness that Shinichi Iwahashi felt about living under the same roof with this girl because Utada Hikaru moved away was resolved in an unexpected way.

After hearing Zhang Zi's purpose, he subconsciously looked at Ayumi Hamasaki.
