Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

He remembered that this person seemed to be a female host from TV Tokyo.

It's the person who interviewed me before.

Shinichiro Akasaka, standing to the side, was a former freshman representative.

It seems that he did not choose to become the student council president because of his outstanding performance in baseball.

He remembered that this person also became a professional baseball player as he had wished.

He is indeed a very capable person.

After all, none of the people who were professional baseball players in Japan were easy to deal with.

Only those with solid skills can become professional baseball players.

I also heard from other seniors that this person's current annual salary is over ten million.

Although the exact figure is unknown, an income of over ten million is enough to surpass more than 90% of the income population in Japan!

Shiro Kaede also noticed that under the shade of a tree nearby were people he had seen and recognized before.

Those were the senior students I saw this morning.

These people are all former freshman representatives or student council presidents of the private Xiujin Academy.

He looked closely and saw that the drunkard Nagasawa Yui was also inside.

Kamishiro Shirakaze asked curiously, "Why did those seniors come today?"

"Oh, you mean them?" Matsueda Asami explained, "These people were invited back by the school leaders to film a video because of their outstanding performance after graduation, which will be used to promote the school later."

"If there's no benefit, no one would be so bored as to come back, right?" Shinobu knew that people are driven by self-interest, and the more shrewd a person is, the less likely they are to help others without a reason.

"Hmm, you noticed that too?" Matsueda Asami explained with some surprise, "Although these people have achieved something now, if they want to move up, they need fame and connections to expand their influence."

"Shooting videos for the school is one of the opportunities to increase its reputation."

"Although this is also very important."

"But more importantly, it seems that as long as they come here, they will get tickets to the ball held by the Hojo family."

"This is the most important thing. I heard that a lot of celebrities will be attending the ball, so they want to get in there in order to expand their network."

"A ball hosted by the Hojo family?" Shiro Shiro shrugged. "Never heard of it."

"It's okay if I haven't heard of it, anyway, I'm not qualified to go in," Matsueda Asami sighed.

"Huh? You don't have any, teacher?" Shiro Shiro asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course not, this kind of ball isn't for ordinary people like me."

"By the way, teacher, didn't you graduate from Tokyo University and even teach there? You're not qualified to go?"

“Tokyo University is just a degree, and we’re just working here anyway,” Matsueda Asami sighed and complained. “Besides, I’m just an ordinary person, what qualifications do I have to get into these high-end places?”

"Besides, even if we have connections and money, we might not be able to get in. It requires a recommendation or being noticed by Chairman Hojo."

"It can be said that tickets to the Hojo family's ball are extremely difficult to obtain; even high-ranking officials may not have the opportunity to get in."

"I'm just an ordinary teacher who graduated from the University of Tokyo. What qualifications do I have to get in?"

Although Matsueda Asami said this, she still earnestly advised, "But don't let these high society things influence you. For us ordinary people, the best thing to do is to study hard and get into a good university!"

"Although you are now qualified to get into the University of Tokyo, you must not look down on the degree from the University of Tokyo. It's just a piece of paper, but it's something that others can only dream of their whole lives."

Even people with money and power still need academic qualifications to enhance their credentials.

"So remember this well, and then work hard to get into prestigious universities like the University of Tokyo, got it?"

"Yes." Shiro Shiro knew this fact and did not deny it.

Seeing that the interviews ahead were almost over, Matsueda Asami gave a few instructions:

"The interview with Shinichiro Akasaka is almost over."

"I reckon it'll be your turn soon."

Shiro asked, "Will this be a live broadcast or a pre-recorded broadcast?"

Matsueda Asami explained, "Only the opening ceremony was broadcast live. This is a pre-recorded broadcast, so you don't need to be so nervous. Even if you make a mistake, you can reshoot it."

soon.

The two then came to the shade of the tree.

Matsueda Asami said, "Then, Kamishiro-kun, I'll bring you here. Teacher has to go back to class now."

"Wait here for a moment."

After saying that, Matsueda Asami also left.

And this time.

The other senior brothers and sisters also discovered the existence of Shindai Shirofumi.

They all came over and exchanged pleasantries.

"Hey, Kamishiro-kun, that was a great speech!"

"Yes, yes, it looks really bright."

"Luckily I'm not as old as Kamishiro-kun, otherwise I wouldn't have been chosen as the freshman representative this year."

Kamishiro Shirofumi was both amused and exasperated: "Seniors, you flatter me."

At that moment, Nagasawa Yui noticed him.

Without saying a word, she ran over and greeted the others with a smile:

"Excuse me, everyone, I'll be borrowing Kamishiro-kun for a bit."

The others guessed what she was going to do and none of them refused.

After walking a short distance with Shiro Kaede, Nagasawa Yui smiled and said:

"Kamishiro-kun, that speech was great!"

"If I were the same age as you, I would definitely be infatuated with you."

"Thank you. If you were young, Yui-nee, I would have fallen for you too," Shiro Kaede replied politely.

"Huh? Really? Yui-nee, I'm so happy." Nagasawa Yui was initially happy, but the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off. She pouted and said, "Wait, the more I think about it, the stranger it seems. Kamishiro-kun, are you perhaps disgusted by my age?"

"I'm only twenty years old! I'm still a university student!!!"

"No, please don't misunderstand me." Shiro Kaede replied without blushing.

"Really?" Nagasawa Yui took off her sunglasses and squinted at him.

"Really? But I'm still a little surprised. Yui-nee, you're a college student? I thought you were seventeen and in your second year of high school."

"Haha, how annoying, Kamishiro-kun has such a sweet tongue." Nagasawa Yui's face was full of joy, clearly happy to be praised like that.

"So, Kamishiro-kun, I would like to formally invite you to join my company. You truly have the potential to become a sensation. With my company's support, you will definitely become a top star very quickly!"

"The money you earn from shooting just one commercial will be equivalent to what others earn in a year or even more than ten years!"

"Trust me, Yui-nee, I would never betray you!" Yui Nagasawa said very sincerely, and didn't seem to be lying.

Kamishiro Shiro initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a while, he didn't immediately deny it. Instead, he said ambiguously, "Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer later."

Upon hearing this, Yui Nagasawa was immediately overjoyed.

After all, the fact that someone is even considering it means there's a chance.

She firmly believed in the situation of replacing Bai Feng with a god.

Even if you don't become a huge star, you can definitely be a second or third-tier celebrity!

That income would completely crush many office workers and salaried employees.

“Okay, okay, then send me your LINE message right away after you’ve thought it through tonight.” Nagasawa Yui immediately gave her LINE ID to Bai Feng.

Bai Feng did not refuse and added him as a friend.

After adding each other as friends, Nagasawa Yui was very happy and immediately took out 10,000 yen from her bag and handed it to Bai Feng.

"Here, this is the 10,000 yen I owed you last time."

Shiro Kaede didn't hesitate and took it directly.

He did the math and took the 10,000 yen.

I now have 94000 yen on me.

Including the 6000 yen I earned from working tonight.

He just managed to scrape together 100,000 yen.

We'll see what job we get then.

If it's a profession that can make money, then go for it without hesitation!

However, if it's a low-paying job that doesn't bring in any money, then becoming a celebrity might be a good option to earn some extra cash.

After all, he can't work for someone else his whole life; that's too slow a way to make money.

For Bai Feng, the best-case scenario is...

It is possible to perform professional behaviors while simultaneously using professional skills to earn money.

This positive cycle is what he likes best.

Chapter 86 Nagasawa Yui: Catching the ball the instant she turned around? Bai Feng is so cool!

2024-07-14

Just as the two were chatting.

Kamidai Bai Feng suddenly said curiously:

"By the way, why did everyone from the baseball team get demoted?"

"Shouldn't this be class time?"

Yui Nagasawa turned her head and looked over, explaining:
