Tokyo Love Story

The regular knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts. Almost subconsciously, he sat up straight and adjusted his sitting posture and expression.

call.

After taking a deep breath, he looked towards the door and uttered the two words that he said many times every day.

"Please come in."

pat.

Along with the sound of the door opening, a female secretary, about 26 or 27 years old, dressed in formal attire, led a middle-aged woman in.

"Mr. Kawai, this is Ms. Takizawa, the editor-in-chief of Urban Fashion Magazine."

After nodding to Kawai Masago, the female secretary turned sideways, looked at Takizawa Chikako, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of "please come in".

"Hello, Ms. Takizawa."

Kawai Masago stood up from his chair, glanced at Takizawa Chikako, and then nodded to her.

The magazine "City Fashion" has been on sale for nearly forty years. It is well-known both in Tokyo and in the relatively less developed countryside.

The most important thing is that "Urban Fashion" magazine and the music network are long-term partners. Many of the exclusive interviews on the music network, such as text interviews and voice interviews, are conducted by "Urban Fashion" magazine.

However, the only person who had previously come to the music network building was a male editor.

As for the current editor-in-chief, Masago Kawai had only heard a little about him, but this was the first time he had actually met him.

"Hello, Mr. Kawai."

Chigako Takizawa politely returned the greeting and came to the desk.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Kawai Changgo pointed to the reception sofa next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, the female secretary standing at the door quite consciously brought out the tea that had been prepared long ago and placed it on the coffee table.

Then, without Kawai Changgo saying much, she consciously found a reason to leave the office, leaving the space for the two people who were going to discuss cooperation next.

"I know Mr. Kawai is very busy, so I won't keep you in suspense." Takizawa Chikako raised her eyebrows and looked at Kawai Changgo who was sitting opposite her. "I came here this time to talk to you about the interview."

The article she wrote previously discussing Jay was well received, saving the recently sluggish sales and raising the popularity of "Metropolitan Fashion" to a higher level.

Because of this, the president of "City Fashion" also saw the prospect of this layer and, through his connections, found her an opportunity to sit down with Kawai Masago to discuss cooperation.

"Exclusive interview?"

Kawai Changgo frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this word. He could even be said to be quite familiar with it.

However, what he couldn’t understand was that his old friend went to so much trouble to call him just for this matter?

Based on his understanding of her, the other party's purpose should not be so "simple".

"Yes, Metropolitan Fashion is planning to do an exclusive interview about it."

Chigako Takizawa nodded seriously and expressed her thoughts directly.

"Shouldn't you contact the person involved in this matter?"

Kawai Changgo's brows relaxed slightly, but he had already made up his mind. According to the plan he had discussed with Kitagawa Che, for this kind of thing, he needed to refuse as much as possible. If it was really difficult to refuse, he would tell him and let him make the decision himself.

Upon hearing this, the expression on Takizawa Chigako's face suddenly became subtle.

It’s not a question of whether she wants to contact the person involved, but that she can’t find a way to contact the person involved.

Whether it is Jay’s homepage or Jay’s updates on the music network, they are all blank.

The singer did not leave any contact information. As for private messages, she sent them, but they fell into the sea and she received no response at all.

In desperation, she could only resort to this last resort.

He is a singer of your music network, and as the person in charge of the music network, Niikawa Jingchangwu must be able to contact Jay. It would be strange if he couldn't.

“I can’t get in touch.”

After hesitating for a moment, Chigako Takizawa finally said this.

After hearing Chikako Takizawa's frank remarks, Kawai Masago fell silent.

If she had said something roundabout, he might have been able to pretend not to understand, but now that she was so straightforward, he didn't know what to say.

"You may be disappointed." Kawai Changgo considered his words and explained the situation tactfully, "Yes, I was able to contact Jay, but the problem is that he is not interested in being interviewed."

In fact, if possible, he still wanted to give his old friend some face. Firstly, he really owed the other party a favor, and secondly, they had been friends for so many years, so he should help with this small favor.

But therein lies the problem. On one side is an old friend, and on the other side is his student's beloved student. As a middleman, it can only be said that the job is quite difficult.

After all, if it was an audio interview, given Ache's personality, he would definitely not agree to it.

"No, Mr. Kawai, you misunderstood me." Takizawa Chikako quickly waved her hands. "This time, we at Urban Fashion will not do an audio interview, nor will we directly upload a video interview like traditional media do. We will only do a brief text interview. And, we promise that the text interview will not involve Jay's privacy."

Before she came, the president had already told her that she didn't need to treat it like an external business negotiation and just directly state the conditions she could offer. Since he had already given her notice, she just had to say what she wanted to say.

After thinking for a moment, Kawai Changwu sighed and compromised, "Okay, I can ask for you."

This was the only solution he could think of that would not offend either side.

I would like to thank GLZ Chuuji and Chao Dengji and Hanabi Qingyin for their rewards, and I would like to thank Bufengmo Biechenghuo for his monthly ticket. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 399 Isn’t it a good thing to be happier?

After lunch, the Beichuan family set out for Wutong Yayuan.

However, because there were too many people, they were still divided into two cars. Tsuchiya Seina and Kashiwamoto Shiori sat in one, and Kitagawa Tetsu, Kitazono Rinone, and Ejima Myo sat in the other.

After opening the car door and getting in the driver's seat, Tsugumi Seina skillfully fastened her seat belt and teased Kashiwagen Shiori who was sitting in the passenger seat, "It's rare to see you so happy."

This was not pure ridicule, but the serious truth. Putting aside the time at Kitagawa's house, at school, the attitude that Kashiwagen Shiori most often showed was that of a cold and indifferent look that kept people at a distance. Not to mention smiling, even a slightly softer expression was a rare thing.

"Isn't it good to be happy?"

Kashiwagen Shiori turned her head and looked at Tsugumi Seina.

The latter's fair profile was reflected in those beautiful eyes.

"On the contrary, it's the best."

Tsugumi Seina shrugged and glanced at Kashiwagen Shiori out of the corner of her eye. After confirming that the latter had fastened her seat belt, she started the car, drove steadily out of the front yard, merged into the residential road, and followed behind Kitagawa Che's car.

"Hmm~"

Kashiwagen Shiori withdrew her gaze from Tsugumi Seina and leaned comfortably on the back of the passenger seat.

During the Chinese New Year this year, her mother asked her if she wanted a car, and her answer was no.

Her idea is simple: who would want to drive if they can take a car?

But in the final analysis, it is not necessarily the case. After all, some people just like the feeling of controlling modern transportation.

"Do you like driving, Rina-san?"

Thinking of this, Kashiwagen Shiori asked thoughtfully.

"When are you talking about driving?" Tsuchiya Seina glanced at the traffic light ahead and silently slowed down the car. "On the way to work, or when you go out to play on your weekend, or driving in another sense."

Others may not be clear about this, but she, who has a very good relationship with Kashiwagen Shiori, knows it very well. This girl occasionally makes some harmless jokes in private.

"Of course it's during normal driving!" Kashiwagen Shiori rolled her eyes, "Rina-sister, think about it carefully. How can you ask that kind of thing at this time?"

Even though she and Tsuchiya Serina have been together for such a long time, every time this happens, she still can't help but complain about this neighbor sister.

"Maybe~" Tsugumi Seina didn't care about Kashiwagen Shiori's little complaint. She smiled cheerfully and answered Kashiwagen Shiori's question in a relaxed tone, "If I have to say, I personally don't like or dislike driving. It's just a skill, and it has nothing to do with likes or dislikes."

"What if you have to choose?"

Kashiwagen Shiori raised her hand and touched the brown one-way glass of the co-pilot seat, a hint of curiosity flashing across her eyes.

"If I had to choose, I would probably choose to ride in a car instead of driving." Tsugumi Seina paused, gently stepped on the brake, and tapped the steering wheel with her slender fingers. "For example, when we went out to play before, the person driving was Che. At that time, I sat in the back seat with Miao, and the feeling at that time was comfortable, very comfortable."

It is no exaggeration to say that she was quite satisfied, except that she was not sitting in the passenger seat.

Firstly, she can relax and do what she wants, such as playing with her mobile phone. Secondly, the person driving is Ache, and she will have an indescribable sense of security because she loves him.

"Before?"

Kashiwagen Shiori frowned and looked past the passenger window to the road outside.

"Hmm." Tsugumi Seina glanced at the traffic light that had turned green, then she stepped on the accelerator and the car started moving steadily again. "That was before you moved in with me."

"Oh……"

Hearing this, Baiyuan Shizhi's frown gradually relaxed.

She could understand this, but if she said that they were sneaking out to play while she was away, her mood would immediately turn cloudy to gloomy.

"You're not thinking about quietly isolating you, are you?"

Tsugumi Seina didn't even need to turn her head to guess the expression on Kashiwagen Shiori's face at this moment.

"I didn't say that."

Kashiwagen Shiori snorted a little proudly.

"Does it really matter whether you say it or not?" Tsugumi Seina raised her eyebrows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Anyway, it's not what you think. Don't you know Che's personality? For group activities like this, everyone must be consulted in advance."

In this regard, Ache did quite well.

It is no exaggeration to say that we treat everyone equally.

But...

Sometimes, maybe because of this, she still felt a little resentful in her heart, thinking that it would be great if he could treat her differently and give her a little special treatment.

But you can't have your cake and eat it too, so she just thought about it.

After all, their gentleman's agreement was to graduate from high school, and it wouldn't be too late to do this by then.

"Oh, right." Tsugumi Makina suddenly remembered something, "Do you like the birthday present I gave you?"

In fact, theoretically speaking, Kashiwazu Shiori's birthday is tomorrow. If she wants to give her a birthday present, it would be best to give it tomorrow. But after thinking about it, the surprise probably does not exist. After all, the reason why she has to go to Wutong Yayuan today and tomorrow has already been revealed.

Therefore, there is no need to follow any rules. Giving it in advance can also avoid collisions.

"Where did Sister Rina choose that bottle of perfume?"

Speaking of this, Kashiwagen Shiori suddenly became interested.

The gift that Rina Tsuchiya gave her was obviously thoughtful. As for perfume, she personally didn't like it very much, especially those with very strong scents. But the bottle that Rina gave her this time perfectly avoided all her pain points. The light fragrance was not abrupt, and did not give her a feeling of disgust.

"It was recommended by Ai."

Tsugumi Seina is quite honest.

Although my best friend doesn't wear perfume at work, she is quite concerned about perfume in private. However, like Shiori Kashiwamoto, she prefers light fragrance.

"I see."

Hearing this, Kashiwagen Shiori nodded as if she suddenly understood something, with a hint of thought in her eyes.

She had already memorized the name of the perfume and also checked the price. It was a little expensive, but it was indeed a good gift.

Next time, when Miao, Rin, or Rina-san’s birthday comes, she will have one more gift to choose from.

However, she still needs to consider the specific scent of the perfume.

After all, if you give up thinking and choose to give the same gift, it would be somewhat inappropriate

——Inappropriate in every aspect.

Thank you to teachers Chao Dengji and Hanabi Qingyin for the tips. Your support is my motivation for writing.

I have something to do tomorrow, so I may not be able to update, but if I can, I will definitely update.

Chapter 400: Just a Song

To Tsuchiya Serina's surprise, Kitagawa Che did not set the barbecue in the backyard of the villa, but led everyone to the larger rooftop.

Although the floor is not too high, for her, this is the first time to have a barbecue on the rooftop, which is a very fresh experience.

However, the fresh experience cannot cover up the troublesome parts.

By the time everyone had lit the necessary charcoal fires, the red sunset had already been swallowed up by the sea level, and the sky dyed red by the golden sunset also fell into the boundless night.

In the darkness of the villa area, the only sounds that could be heard were the faint chirping of insects and the conversations of people on the rooftop.
