Tokyo Love Story

"President Kawai, the time has come. Mr. Tsugumi Makoto is waiting for you."

"Ok, I see."

Kawai Changgo nodded and turned to give Kitagawa Che an apologetic look.

As the person in charge of the music network in Japan, this is his daily job and he is extremely busy.

"I'll just leave on my own later."

Beichuan Che nodded in understanding, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

only……

Mr. Tsugumi Makoto?

He lowered his brows thoughtfully.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Anyway, I'm sorry."

Kawai Changgo lowered his head and apologized.

"without……"

This time, the person whose speech was interrupted was Kitagawa Che.

Before he could finish his words, an old but powerful male voice came from outside the door.

"Since you, Changwu, admire this young man so much, can I, an old man, get to know him?"

I would like to thank Xianqin Zhujiu, Chen Lierdai, Lemon Acid is Not Sour, Qianlongzaiyuan Fengchenxi Zhang Luanwu Feiyang, Klee, the First Love of Teyvat, and Danxue Yinghan for their monthly tickets. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 204 Meeting

The door of the conference room was pushed open and an old man in a dark kimono walked in.

Kawai Changgo glanced at Kitagawa Che with an embarrassed expression, but since the person had already come in, he couldn't say anything more. He could only give Kitagawa Che a subtle look, then stood up, and after the old man sat down, he took the initiative to introduce this old man who was much older than him.

"This is Mr. Kazuhiko Tsugumi, one of the shareholders of our music website."

"shareholder?"

Hearing this, Beichuan Che was subconsciously stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man in front of him with some surprise.

Compared to the shareholders of the music network, the serious-looking old man in front of him was more like the boss of some underworld organization.

"Why, don't I look like an old man?"

Tsugumi Makoto Kazuhiko was not angry. He smiled cheerfully, and his serious expression instantly relaxed. He spread his hands and made a little joke.

"Based on my first impression of you, it's not like that."

Beichuan Che nodded calmly and said this bluntly.

Regarding the surname Tsugumi Makoto, coupled with the prerequisites mentioned earlier by Kawai Changgo, he had a sense of déjà vu for no reason.

The old man in front of him might be Tsugumi Seina's grandfather.

"It seems that I am too serious."

Tsugumi Makoto made a self-examination jokingly, and his expression relaxed a little. Then he turned his head and looked at Kawai Masago who was also sitting down.

What he meant was self-evident.

He wanted to get to know the young man in front of him.

"This is the Kitagawa I often mentioned to you, Mr. Tsugumi Makoto." Kawai Changwu coughed lightly and introduced Kitagawa Tetsu who was sitting across the coffee table. "He is also the songwriter and singer of 'First Love', 'Don't Go', and the currently popular 'Fireworks'."

"Oh……"

Tsuchiya Makoto nodded thoughtfully. He had heard the first two songs before. In his opinion, those two songs could get very high scores. However, he had always been curious about what kind of young man could sing these two songs.

Now, he finally met this young man who had interested him for a long time.

However, this was only his meeting with this promising young singer in his capacity as a shareholder. As for meeting in another sense, he would probably have to wait until next week.

"Kitagawa-san, may I ask you a question?" Tsugumi Seihiko raised his head, and his gaze, which seemed to be able to see through a person's soul, fell directly on Kitagawa Che's face. "What is your full name?"

"Kitagawa Che."

"Okay." Tsugumi Seiichi's expression relaxed and he smiled, "Che-kun, can I call you that?"

"It's best if you don't add Jun."

Beichuan Che replied out of habit.

"So, Che?"

Tsugumi Seihiko's expression became more and more intriguing.

"Mr. Tsugumi Makoto."

Kitagawa Tetsu also subconsciously called Tsugumi Makoto Kazuhiko this.

"uh-huh."

Tsugumi Makoto nodded and responded cheerfully.

Next, because of the presence of Tsugumi Makoto, Kawai Changgo no longer talked to Kitagawa Che about the things he had not finished saying just now. Instead, he changed his mind and began to introduce Kitagawa Che's achievements.

The most important thing is that the old man, Tsuchiya Makoto, was listening with great interest. He nodded from time to time and asked a deeper question. He looked extremely interested.

This made Beichuan Che's expression extremely complicated.

Fortunately, this feeling of being on pins and needles did not last long. The phone call from Ejima Tadashi, asking him how long it would take him to get home, brought him away from this "place of trouble".

After saying goodbye briefly to Kawai Masago and Tsugumi Seiichi, Kitagawa Che walked out of the meeting room and started his journey home.

When Kitagawa Che's footsteps faded away, Tsugumi Seiichi, who was sitting on the sofa, showed a look of sudden enlightenment, as if he had realized something.

Through Kawai Masago's introduction just now, he had a more detailed understanding of his granddaughter's neighbor, and he could tell from her words that she had a good impression of him.

For now, Kitagawa Che gave him a pretty good first impression.

Be neither impatient nor anxious, know when to advance and retreat, and don't be flattered by others. Just these points make you much better than you were in the past.

From this perspective, Rina's vision is indeed good.

This time, the whole family came together to stage such a drama just to force her and make her stop hesitating.

As for some of the situations regarding Kitagawa Che, he had secretly learned about them, so he had a certain degree of knowledge about them.

Although he was unhappy about his relationship status, he knew his granddaughter's personality well. She was stubborn and once she made a decision, it would be very difficult to change her mind without three to five years.

Instead of letting her continue like this, it’s better to give her a push.

She is already twenty-five this year. How many three to five years does she have left in her life?

Of course, he also has selfish motives.

Being in love doesn't mean being together for the rest of your life. Letting this girl who has never been in love finally have a chance to fall in love is considered a success compared to the past.

Maybe, when Rina really starts dating Kitagawa Tetsu, she will feel that he is not as good as she imagined?

That would be the best. Blocking is always worse than unblocking.

However, he also considered what to do once Rina fell into it.

Then let Kitagawa Che work harder. According to Kawai Changgo's introduction, as long as this young man can maintain his current career, the Tsuchiya family can turn a blind eye.

However, if Rina continues to procrastinate and doesn't show enough awareness, then this drama will become real.

He doesn't even have this little courage, and he just says those words without any basis, and then hypnotizes himself, which will eventually leave regrets in his life forever. Instead of doing this, he might as well accept the arrangements of his family honestly.

In this way, even if she recalls these things in the future, she will only blame it on her family's toughness rather than her weakness at the time.

"Mr. Yiyan, you... seem to be very interested in Beichuan?"

Seeing that the thought in Tsugumi Seihiko's eyes had come to a temporary end, Kawai Changgo coughed lightly, breaking the silence between the two, and at the same time, changed the way he addressed the other party in private.

"That's it."

Tsugumi Makoto nodded, his thoughtful look faded away, and his serious expression eased a little, but compared to the smiling face he had when facing Kitagawa Tetsu just now, he still seemed a little cold.

"I understand."

Kawai Changgo nodded without asking any further questions.

In fact, he and Tsuchiya Seiichiko had a pretty good personal relationship. He was also the troubled party when Nobuhiko was involved, but he understood that if others didn't want to talk about private matters, then don't ask them. Being too curious would make people hate you.

"Then let's talk about today's main topic." Kawai Changwu considered his words and changed the subject, his expression becoming serious, "About the future development of the music network."

Just now when he introduced Tsuchiya Kazuhiko to Kitagawa Che, he didn't introduce him very clearly because he was afraid that Kitagawa Che would feel pressured.

Kazuhiko Tsuchiya is currently one of the major shareholders of the music network in Japan. Although according to the contract, he will not directly interfere with the plans and arrangements of the music network, he has enough say in the music network.

"Ah."

Tsugumi Makoto nodded, pretending to be listening attentively.

I would like to thank Mr. Zhu Zhu and Mr. Guanwei Mimangren for their monthly tickets. Your support is the driving force for my writing. See you all tomorrow.

Chapter 205 Her Farewell (Part )

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was Thursday evening.

"You want to go into the kitchen today?"

Outside the kitchen of the Kitagawa family, Ejima Tadashi, wearing an apron, looked at Tsugumi Seina in surprise, and for a moment she was unsure of what her neighbor was thinking.

At the beginning, Tsugumi Seina did learn cooking from her for a while, but maybe it was true that some things really require talent. If you don't have talent and still force yourself to do something, you often have to work twice as hard to achieve half the result.

However, after working hard for a month, Tsugumi Makoto had practiced the three dishes no less than a hundred times and finally reached the passing line.

But compared with the "kitchen gods" of the Kitagawa family, that's all.

From then on, Tsugumi Seina accepted the fact, happily gave up her training in cooking, and lay down, saying that she only needed to be responsible for eating and washing dishes.

Now that I think about it and count the time, it has been more than four or nearly five months since Tsuchiya Serina said that she would no longer work hard on cooking.

"Yes."

Tsugumi Seina nodded and her eyes fell on Ejima Tadashi's face.

That beautiful face was reflected in those clear eyes.

In a sense, Ejima Mio can easily become the object of admiration for girls of the same age. She has good grades and a good physique. She knows a little bit about everything and is the most all-rounder that can be.

"What's the reason for doing this, Rina-san?"

Ejima Tadashi met Tsugumi Serina's gaze and asked thoughtfully.

It's not that she didn't allow Tsugumi Serina to enter the kitchen. On the contrary, the Kitagawa family's kitchen was open to everyone at the Kitagawa family's table as long as it wouldn't cause trouble.

However, Kitagawa Che is not among them. On this point, everyone agrees that unless it is a special situation, no one is allowed to enter the kitchen.

"Just think of it as a sudden idea." Tsugumi Seina smiled, put her palms together, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her voice became more pleading, "Anyway, please."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kitaen Rin, who was processing seasonal vegetables, stopped what she was doing.

She turned her eyebrows away and her eyes fell on the kitchen door.

Ejima Myo glanced at Tsugumi Serina, then turned around and met the gaze of Kitazono Rinone.

After exchanging glances with the latter in the air, the attendant turned his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and gave an affirmative answer, "Then, I will ask Sister Rina to give me more guidance from now on."

Having said this, she stepped aside.

"uh-huh."

Tsugumi Seina blinked, walked past Ejima Tadashi and entered the kitchen, then stopped in front of the stainless steel pole and took down the light brown apron that she hadn't used for a long time and put it on.

The result is still unchanged.

Looking around the kitchen, Tsugumi Serina sighed in her heart.

She hadn't been into the Kitagawa family's kitchen for almost four months.

Everything is still so familiar.

Just ...

Tsugumi Seina's eyes suddenly became complicated. She turned her head and gave Ejima Myo a look for help.
