Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 149 Conflict
In the end, the two women followed Park Jingxu, but the other party ignored them and walked on by himself.

The three of them walked in tandem and walked a long distance, almost making the two wary girls suspect Park Jingxu's true purpose.

Fortunately, after finally successfully arriving at the live house, Park Jingxu's name was cleared.

The live house in front of the three of them occupies a large area. From the outside, it is difficult to imagine that it is a live house.

It is called "One Hundred Thousand Volts" and was recommended to Park Jingxu by the staff of Neon Records. It is said that the owner of this live house is a person who truly loves music and also has an aesthetic and appreciation of music.He also knows many people working in the recording industry and maintains good relationships with many companies.

Therefore, any band that has performed here, as long as they are strong enough, will be recommended by the boss to debut with a record company and move from the underground to the ground.

Because of this, this "One Hundred Thousand Volts" is regarded by many underground bands as the only channel to pursue fame and fortune, and there is an endless stream of people coming to challenge it.

Among them, there are even more talented ones emerging one after another. It has developed to this point today, and the band’s boss is not allowed to perform on the stage without a few tricks.

This is also the reason why the record company recommended Park Jingxu.

In their opinion, Park Kyung Wook's strength is one of the best among his peers in the world, not to mention within the peninsula.

They felt that such a big shot wouldn't want to watch novices pecking each other, so they chose "Stars", a livehouse in the head of Shimokitazawa, to recommend to them.

It was still early at this time and the live house had not yet opened for business.

This made the two women look regretful. It was only noon now, and they couldn't waste half a day waiting until night.

Park Jingxu seemed to understand the other party's thoughts and suggested kindly.

"Want to go in and have a look? It's really not business hours now, but there should be some bands arriving early to prepare for practice."

"Is it okay? Ordinary people are not allowed to go in and watch, right?" Minazaki Saka hesitated for a moment before asking.

"It's okay, don't worry about that. Are you not local? Your accent sounds a bit like people from Kansai."

The two women didn't know why the other asked such a question, but they admitted it generously.

Park Jingxu didn't suddenly feel free to check his household registration, and he explained his intention again.

"You probably came here because of the underground band culture in Shimokitazawa, right? Isn't it a pity that you came all the way here but didn't experience it?"

Park Kyung-wook's words touched their hearts, and even though they couldn't be said to have come here for a specific purpose to satisfy their curiosity, they took the Shinkansen.It’s another matter of changing subways several times in Tokyo—you’d be dissatisfied after spending so much effort only to end up in vain.

Since the young man was willing to help them, the two women looked at each other and seemed unable to find a reason to refuse.

As for the issue of trust, if you didn't even have this foundation, you wouldn't have followed Park Jingxu in the first place.

After reaching an agreement, the three of them entered the live house called "Stars".

The boss, Naoto Takagi, greeted us as soon as we entered, and he saluted warmly, with a very low attitude.

On the contrary, the girls following behind were confused. Could it be that this young man who looked about the same age as himself had a high status?For example, the next generation successor of a famous noble?
After saying hello with a bright smile, the boss also noticed the two women behind him and asked.

"Who are these two?"

"We met by chance on the road, but they are also very interested in the music culture of underground bands, and even traveled thousands of miles from Kansai, so please give Takagi-san a look out of their devotion to music and let them visit. Bar!"

Park Jingxu thought for a while and said.

Since he had made a promise before, of course he would not break it now.

I believe that Naoto Takagi, who knows his identity, will not refuse him on this small matter.

Because when he contacted Naoto Takagi, he had many discussions on music topics, and he knew that the other person was a person who really liked music.

Therefore, Park Kyung Wook's words should be more appealing to Naoto Takagi.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Takagi Naoto's eyes lit up.

"Since Pu Sangdu said so, I have to give you some face."

After asking an employee to show him around as a guide, he suggested that he and Park Jingxu go to the office to sit together.

Park Jingxu didn't pay attention to the two women's leisurely mood. He nodded and left with each other without even saying hello.

All that was left was the two women who dared not breathe and the staff who kept smiling.

At this time, the staff also proposed to start the tour, and the two women, who had been a little confused since entering, nodded mechanically.

So the three of them started hanging out in the livehouse.

Most people's first impression of livehouse is that the space is small and there is almost no distance between the performance stage and the audience.While making it easier for the audience to appreciate, it also makes it easier for the performers to receive feedback from the audience.

The overall atmosphere is stronger, which is beneficial to everyone.

"One Hundred Thousand Volts" is no exception in this regard. The performance stage and viewing space can all be seen at a glance.

However, as one of the best livehouses in Shimokitazawa and even Tokyo, its advantages go beyond that.

For a livehouse, a very important indicator is the number of viewers it can accommodate. After all, you have to pay just for admission. If the number of people is small, it will not be conducive to business maintenance.

Another point is that if there are more people, it is easier to liven up the atmosphere.

There are two performance spaces like this in "One Hundred Thousand Volts", which means that it can allow two bands to perform at the same time.

The two performance locations are located at opposite ends of the room, separated by thick enough walls with sound insulation measures, so they won't affect each other.

Relying on the relatively wide space, the entire liverhouse can accommodate more than [-] spectators.

In fact, as soon as you enter the livehouse and just look at the decoration, even a layman will know that it is expensive, and personalized designs and decorations abound.

The area is not too small in the livehouse.

Even if you have never been to other livehouses, you know that "Stars" will be the best among them.

The clerk also introduced the underground bands that came out of here.

As a newbie in music, Tianhai Weiming would have heard of those famous names.

As for Saka Minatozaki, she fell in love with music under the influence of someone. Until now, she has not only learned a lot about the music culture of her country, but it can be regarded as her first glimpse of it.

Therefore, the Shiba Inu girl understands the meaning of these names better than her little friends.

The clerk also talked about the history between these bands and the owner.

The legendary stories filled them with admiration for Naoto Takagi.

Precisely because of this, Park Jingxu, a young man who received great courtesy from Naoto Takagi, became even more mysterious in their eyes.

I didn’t expect that the strangers I met on the subway would have such an extraordinary side.

Park Sang…

Minatozaki Saka suddenly had a thought in her mind and thought of what Naoto Takagi had just called the boy.

It doesn't seem like a neon name.

Coupled with the appearance that looks like Park Kyung Wook, could it be...

She glanced at the clerk in front of her and asked for information without leaving any trace.

"The person who left with Mr. Takagi just now, does Miss Ayako know his identity?"

"Isn't that gentleman your companion?" The clerk Ayako shook her head first, and then asked in surprise.

"That's not true. We just met each other not long ago."

Minazaki Saka replied slightly disappointed.

Ayako saw that the other party's mood became a little low, and his expression reminded Ayako of her own Shiba Inu, so she felt compassion and mentioned it again.

"But maybe it's not the Neon Man... I heard the boss say it before. At that time, he was talking about a foreign distinguished guest who was about to come. Now I think he must be referring to that person!"

Hearing this, Minatozaki Saka's eyes lit up: "That's it! Thank you, Miss Ayako, for telling me!"

This news made Minazaki Saka excited.

Although it is still not certain that the other party is Park Jingxu, it is obvious that the possibility has increased greatly.

The wish you made during the New Year seems to be coming true now?

The excitement and excitement reflected on her face, the corners of Minatozaki Saka's mouth that couldn't help but rise.

This appearance made my friend Tian Hai Weiming look stunned for a moment.

In her opinion, it is true that Minatozaki Saka is cheerful and generous, but she is not the type to write all her emotions and sorrows on her face!
What's more, the rich changes in emotion can be set off by showing face-changing within a few seconds.

None of them are in line with Minazaki Saka's usual performance.

This made Amami become more suspicious, and the look he looked at Minazaki Saka almost made her hairy.

When Saka Minazaki began to recall whether she had made her unhappy, her friend slowly spoke.

"Sasha-chan, you didn't really fall in love with that masked man at first sight, did you?"

"Miaki-chan, it's better not to say anything that could lead to misunderstanding." Minatozaki Saka replied calmly.

It’s not that I feel that chasing stars is something I’m ashamed of and I dare not speak out about it.

But she didn't want to reveal too much before confirming the identity of the masked man. If she identified the wrong person, it would be really embarrassing.

However, her feeble denial made her friends even more suspicious.

"Sasha-chan, this is not the truth, right? Otherwise, there is no need for you to care about that guy again and again!"

"No, Weiming-chan. I don't think you have done anything special. Including the inquiry just now, don't you, Weiming-chan, have any curiosity about a boy who can be treated seriously by Boss Takagi?"

Minazaki Saka is a smart girl. She quickly organizes her words to be well-founded and logically refutes the other party's accusations.

It also made my friends speechless for a while.

Before Tian Hai could figure out the key points, he kept making suggestions.

"But since we haven't come up with any answers, let's get back to the topic and go see the band's rehearsal!"

After saying that, without giving the other party a chance to react, he took her hand and ran to the performance stage.

……

After Park Jingxu ended his chat with Takagi Naoto, the two walked out of the office.

After all, the purpose of this trip is to watch underground bands perform and see if they can draw inspiration from them.

As soon as the results came out, we saw a rather disharmonious scene.

I don't know what happened, but I saw that two women who had met him a few times actually had a conflict with the band members who were practicing.

Perhaps calling it a conflict is a bit incorrect.

It was probably because the two women were unilaterally told something that they couldn't stop talking about. It could be seen from their expressions that they seemed to be unconvinced by this.

Park Jingxu didn't have the habit of being a righteous policeman without knowing the cause and effect, but the man next to him was the boss here and he couldn't turn a blind eye to this.

Naoto Takagi took the lead and walked towards the performance stage. Park Jingxu thought about it and chose to follow.

Showing his authority as the boss of "One Hundred Thousand Volts", Naoto Takagi stopped the quarrel between the two parties.

But after all, we are here to open a store, and reputation is very important.He had no intention of favoring any particular party, so he asked about the situation.

"What's going on? Why is there a sudden quarrel?"

"What else could be going on! We were practicing well, but these two kids suddenly appeared and spoke to us, and we refused to listen to our good advice and still went our own way!" He is a guitarist in the band and dresses frivolously. The man complained loudly.

As soon as these words came out, both Park Jingxu and Takagi Naoto frowned, but they cautiously did not speak.

The person was brought by Park Jingxu, who was concerned about the face of the other party, so it was difficult to say anything.And Pu Jingxu himself was even more worried that his momentary act of kindness would cause trouble for others.

It’s just that the truth cannot be ignored.

The two of them turned their attention to the two girls again.

It seemed like they reacted to the flippant guitarist's words, almost to the point of indignation.

My friend Tian Hai was not clear about his short temper and could not tolerate slander, so he was the first to retort.

"You're talking nonsense! We didn't talk at all during your performance! Just because you asked us what we thought after the performance, we didn't deliberately say anything good about you, so we were made things difficult for you. Now we are still fabricating facts and confusing right and wrong!"

"What did you say?" Park Jingxu suddenly interrupted.

"They asked us how our performance was, and we just said it seemed a bit average. They suddenly got angry, and said that we had no knowledge of music, no appreciation, and were complete amateurs. Then I got a little angry and replied, 'Aesthetics' It’s a personal matter. Since you can’t make music that everyone likes, who do you have the right to accuse others of not liking it?’ As a result, they suddenly became angry, and the next thing you saw was the scene.”

Minazaki Saka's words almost revealed the full picture of the conflict.

The band seemed to want to continue lying, but under Naoto Takagi's sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to see everything, they finally stopped.

Park Jingxu and Takagi Naoto nodded, they almost understood the truth of the matter.

In Takagi Naoto's view, both sides were at fault in this matter.

The band's mistake was that they were too serious with two children and had poor ability to withstand pressure. Of course, it could also be that they had a high self-esteem and couldn't listen to good voices.

The two women, on the other hand, were young and unfamiliar with society, and their speech was a little too ruthless, so it was natural for them to anger each other.
