Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 404 Before the Storm【4K】

"Grandpa Yuzhi, good morning."

"Good morning, Yuu."

After a simple greeting with Watanabe Yu, Yamano Yuzhi didn't bother to be polite and went straight to the point.

"I have two questions I want to clarify." He paused, "First, why did you suddenly want to sing in a bar?"

I went to the one in Kamakura.

He has a very vivid memory of that bar.

After all, his most proud student had used that bar as a base and climbed to the top of the music scene step by step.

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."

In order to avoid misunderstanding from Watanabe Yu on the other end of the phone, he added this sentence.

"Because of some force majeure."

Watanabe Yu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to answer truthfully.

"force majeure?"

Yamano Yuzhi chewed on these four words, and the confusion on his face not only did not decrease, but increased.

"Yes, force majeure." Watanabe Yu paused, "But I can't elaborate on the specific reasons. Just treat it as a bet."

He couldn't say that he did it to gain Aunt Shangzi's approval, could he?
If that were really the case, given Yamano Yuzhi's personality, he would definitely continue asking questions.

Once this questioning begins, it will definitely be pursued to the end.

At that time, he couldn't just get away with it by saying, "Because I want to be a pure love god of war," right?
To take a step back, even if he wanted to, Yamano Yuzhi would not allow him to get away with it. He would definitely make him explain himself, or even go a step further and ask him to give an explanation.

That's trouble.

“…Okay.”

Fortunately, Yamano Yuzhi did not ask any further questions.

"The second question is?"

Watanabe Yu quickly changed the subject.

"The second question is, did you take the initiative to find someone to help you promote it?"

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Yamano Yuzhi still answered Watanabe Yu's question first.

But why do I feel that You is a little different from usual?

No, think about it, this must be my illusion, right?

He shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.

"No." Watanabe Yuu was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

He didn't understand why Yamano Yuzhi suddenly brought up this.

"Last night, Li Hui sent a long tweet about you."

Yamano Yuzhi did not keep the secret and told Watanabe Yu the details of the situation truthfully.

"Then……"

He drew out his voice.

"Then?"

Watanabe Yuu took up the conversation quite understandingly.

"Then that tweet caused a huge wave. You can understand it as someone dropping a depth charge into a calm lake." Yamano Yuzhi paused deliberately, "and now this depth charge has exploded."

To be honest, he hasn't seen such a heated comment section in a long time.

The last time I saw it was when Watanabe Yu’s new song was really coming to the fore.

Jay's fans were very proud and chatted in the comment section, congratulating each other.

"what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Watanabe Yu frowned slightly, then relaxed.

He coughed lightly and changed the subject.

If you think about this kind of thing, you will know who provided convenience.

The person who could do this and still try every means to keep it secret must be Aunt Shangzi who does not want to reveal her name.

"I mean you're famous."

Yamano Yuzhi stood up from his chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and overlooked the street scene of Tokyo.

“In the Internet age, information spreads much faster than in the traditional media age.”

He thought about it and added this sentence.

"..."

Watanabe Yu did not rush to respond, but chose to wait silently.

Judging from the tone of the words, his judgment told him that Yamano Yuzhi had not finished speaking.

"But even with the explosion of information in the Internet age, it is no exaggeration to say that the difference in status between traditional singers, that is, singers who go on stage, appear in front of the media from time to time, and have serious commercial activities, and Internet singers who can occasionally appear on the hot song charts, is huge."

There was a hint of earnestness in Yamano Yuzhi's tone.

"When I asked you if you wanted to debut as a singer, I had this in mind."

He remembered clearly that You's answer at that time was "I'm just interested in music for the time being", so he didn't force it.

"To put it more extreme, although there is only a difference of two characters between public figures on the Internet and well-known public figures who often appear on TV, and the level of popularity in their comment sections seems to be similar, in terms of actual appeal and popularity, the two are not the same concept."

Unable to hold back, Yamano Yuzhi uttered another long paragraph.

"Ah."

This time, Watanabe Yu did not remain silent, but responded.

"Anyway, the waves have already been stirred, and there are undercurrents surging beneath the surface, so what exactly do you want to do?"

Yamano Yuzhi let out a breath, feeling a little uneasy.

Because he hoped to get a positive answer.

"Let's just wait and see what happens. If enemies come, we will fight them. If water comes, we will build a wall." Watanabe Yu is very single. "As for how things will develop in the future and what decisions I will make, leave it to my future self."

Anyway, as of now, thanks to the great help from the person who set the question and also the helper, Naoko Hayakawa, the test will be completed after today.

He doesn't worry about how many people will come to see the show tonight.

Even if the entire Kamakura population came to see his performance, he would only wonder where to put so many people.
——After all, after tonight, according to the agreement, he can return to Tokyo the day after tomorrow.

As long as he leaves, no matter how severe the flood is in Kamakura, it will have nothing to do with him.

"If this is your answer, then I respect your opinion."

Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing this tactful rejection, Yamano Yuzhi still couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Thank you."

"You're climbing the ladder quickly."

Hearing this, Yamano Yuzhi smiled and shook his head.

As we all know, people can be made to laugh when they are angry.

Other singers tried their best to be brought into the public eye by him, but this guy rejected him again and again.

But he was not angry and took the initiative to invite again and again.

Ah.

Just like Guan Yu to Cao Cao.

"Hi……"

Watanabe Yu laughed and started grinning foolishly.

One of the social rules is that when you don’t know how to respond to what the other person is saying, a silly smile or a wry laugh is always the best choice.

Of course, this does not apply when you need to make your position clear.

When people ask you to show an attitude, you just stand there smiling foolishly. You're asking for trouble.

"Well, since your attitude is so clear, I won't say anything." Yamano Yuzhi didn't want to argue with him. "If you can't handle the media, just call me and I'll talk to them."

One thing at a time, he will still help this kid where he needs help.

After all, Yu is Yuki's favorite person. As an elder, he will take care of her with all his strength when it's time to take care of her.
——As compensation for not taking good care of Shangzi back then.

He always felt that it was his responsibility.

"Okay, if I encounter a problem that I can't solve, I will call you. Thank you."

Watanabe Yu stood up straight and thanked him sincerely.

He could feel that Yamano Yuzhi's words were sincere.

Naturally, he would respond in the same manner.

"Well, okay, I'm done. I'm hanging up now. I have work to do here."

Yamano Yuzhi sighed and turned to walk towards his desk. "Well, bye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Yamano Yuzhi slumped down in the chair as if all his strength had been drained away.

have to.

It was all in vain.

But his depression does not represent Watanabe's depression.

After hanging up the phone, Watanabe Yu put away his phone and told Ryoko the details of the call.

It’s not that he wanted to show off or brag, but the main reason was that the moment he hung up the phone, the girl came up to him and looked at him eagerly.

If he pretended not to notice, her puppy eyes would keep looking at him.

"So Yuu is going to be a big star?"

This was the first sentence Ryoko spoke after listening to his story.

"It's possible, but not likely."

"...?"

"If I am willing to stay in Kamakura until the end of summer vacation, I have a chance to become a well-known public singer, or it is highly likely that I can do it." Watanabe Yu changed the subject, "But, according to the agreement, we have to go back to Tokyo the day after tomorrow, right?"

It's over before it even started.jpg
"How about, You stay here?"

Hamabe Ryoko was silent for a while, then suddenly uttered these words.

"You think too much."

Watanabe Yu waved his hand and took a step forward.

They had rested for a while, and after stretching, it was time to go home.

"I am performing on stage this time to fulfill the bet I made with Aunt Shangzi. Of course, I am enjoying it. I really like the stage, but everything has a price."

He spread his hands.

"For me, being in the spotlight is more attractive than a peaceful daily life."

Maybe in the future he will try to debut as a singer for fun, but not now.

To say something a bit scumbag, he likes the feeling of singing on stage, but doesn't want to pay the price of fame.

"because of U.S?"

Somehow, Hamabe Ryoko asked a question without any context.

"Part of the reason is, just like Superman saving the earth, it would be a lie to say that there is no selfish motive at all."

Yu Watanabe did not choose to say nice words, but chose to say what he had to say.

Of course, part of the reason was that if he said something nice, Ryoko would take it seriously and feel guilty.

"Superman?"

Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"It's a superhero from America."

Watanabe Yu explained casually, but he was worried in his heart.

So there are no Marvel-related film and television works in this world?

When he first looked up cultural works from this time, he didn't learn about Marvel's superhero movies.

It seems that he now has one more track to use.

But we'll talk about it when the time comes.

He now just wants to do the task at hand well.

"Oh."

Hamabe Ryoko responded but didn't pursue the matter further.

Compared to the new terms that suddenly came out of his mouth, she was more concerned about the current situation.

"So there will be a lot of people tonight?"

She turned her head and winked at him beside her.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be." Watanabe You shrugged, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that this matter will ferment further."

For him, it doesn't matter, today and tomorrow are the same.

As long as it’s not acquired.

He didn't want to delay his return to Tokyo for another day.

"You'll know once you go back and take a look."

Hamabe Ryoko's thoughts turned very quickly.

"uh-huh."

"Then, should we tell Yuki and Ayana about this?"

Even though she had told it first and You wouldn't say anything if he knew, she still thought it was better to ask first.

Even though her intuition told her that he didn't care.

"up to you."

Watanabe Yuso is very open-minded about this.

This is something you are talking to your own people, not to strangers, so it doesn't matter.

Of course, the most important thing is that whether it is Ryoko, Ayana, or Yuki, none of them are the kind of "good wives" who will tell everything to others.

"Then I'll go back and talk to them."

Hamabe Ryoko made a decision.

"Ah."

"And then there's one more thing."

She suddenly remembered something else.

"Who else knows about this? I mean, your singing gig in Kamakura?"

Her idea was simple. Since Yamano Yuzhi knew everything, then other people who had contact with You should also know it. In other words, would they follow him to Kamakura?

If they came and were photographed by paparazzi who heard the news, things would probably develop beyond expectations.

"Well, President Beichen also knows."

Watanabe Yu gave the answer.

"Besides him?"

"Not for now, I mean as far as I know, it's only him."

"That shouldn't be a big problem."

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko felt relieved.

If you think about it carefully, even if those prominent figures who knew You came to Kamakura and were photographed by the media, they would not say anything too excessive. At most, they would just praise You.

No matter how hard the media tries to dig out some gossip, it will be impossible as long as they don't open up.

Unless they made it up or took it out of context.

But this possibility is not very high because there are too many things involved.

"in addition."

"in addition?"

"Should we give Manager Miyajima a call?"

She felt that she should inform the other party in advance.

"I'll tell her on Line."

Watanabe Yu thought about it and decided to take a more conservative approach.

The reason is simple. Miyajima-san is a person who is used to sleeping in. Her day starts at noon.

Of course, sometimes she would be earlier, for example, she would wake up and get up at ten in the morning.

But this probability can only be said to be basically equal to the 12% probability of going from red 13 to red 22 in a certain online game. The main point is that it is touching, humorous, and dramatic.

"And then it was."

"what?"

“Good luck today!”

She clenched her fists and cheered him up.

"Yes, I will!"
