Poverty story after Tokyo actress

Because the decoration follows the classics, the wooden sliding door can't achieve sound insulation effect at all. Sitting in the private room, Jiang Bai can clearly hear all kinds of yelling from the outside, including the nonsense of drunk people, the cheers of everyone gathering, and There is a hello to order the waiter.

Messy, noisy, inexplicably annoying.

This is Jiang Bai's first thought, so that Jiang Bai, who has always loved to eat, has no appetite at the moment, and the sukiyaki pot Jiang Bai in front of him basically didn't move a few chopsticks.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Jiang Bai found a reason to come to peeing, then left the private room, and then came to the garden behind the izakaya in a crooked manner, this place is much quieter, listening to the looming greeting, Jiang Bai felt that he was different from that noisy world spaced out.

"Suck...ha..."

Jiang Bai took a deep breath and relaxed his mood. Although he didn't hate socializing, he was even good at it, but Jiang Bai didn't like an environment that was too lively, it would only make her irritable.

Quieter is Jiang Bai's favorite environment.

"Ah, this is... a fateful meeting from thousands of miles away?"

Just when Jiang Bai was enjoying the comfort brought by the silence, an inexplicably familiar voice came into her ears, and she couldn't help turning her head to look.

"Eh? Zhenqin?" Jiang Bai looked at the familiar woman who was coming and asked curiously, but as the woman approached, Jiang Bai discovered through the clear light that the person who came was not Zhenqin.

"Hmm... Ah, it seems that you really miss my sister. No matter how I say it, I am quite different from her. Why do you recognize me as her?"

The person who came was Makoto's older sister, Hoshino Mao!

"Long time no see, I miss you very much, hello, Miss Miyano."

Chapter 160 Hoshino Mao's Drunken Mantra

"Long time no see, Miss Miyano, how have you been with Makoto recently?"

Hoshino Mao held a pot of wine, walked up to Jiang Bai with a reddish face, greeted him with a slight smile, and her reddish cheeks made her smile show a different kind of allure.

"Miss Mao? Why are you here?"

Jiang Bai looked at Mao who came over with surprise on his face. He didn't expect such a coincidence that he could meet Mao Hoshino at the dinner party.

And Hoshino Mao shook his head and smiled: "Khan~ This place is the best place to socialize in the workplace. As long as it is a slightly larger company, you will think of this izakaya for dinner. What? Jiang Bai, don't you know?"

"Um... I'm an actor, I don't understand these..." Jiang Bai replied to Zhen Xu awkwardly, and then asked: "Then Miss Zhen Xu, you came here because of workplace entertainment?"

Regarding Jiang Bai's question, Zhen Xu smiled lightly, shook his head impatiently, and said: "Forget it, I have no idea to have these meaningless dinners with my employees, I came to drink by myself .”

Zhen Xu said, raised the flagon in his hand and shook it lightly, then walked to Jiang Bai's side with a slight shaking of his body.

As Zhen Xu approached, Jiang Bai asked about the smell of wine that permeated Zhen Xu's body. It seemed that Zhen Xu had been drinking for a while.

"Miss Mao, you seem a little drunk..."

Jiang Bai said to Zhen Xu with a trace of worry.

"Drunk?" Zhen Xu was taken aback for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "Tch, if you're drunk, you're drunk ~ so what? I've been managing my own property for my family for so long, what's wrong with pampering?"

"Forehead……"

Jiang Bai inexplicably felt that Zhen Xu seemed to have some resentment in his heart, and he didn't know what made this woman so upset that she chose to drink to relieve her sorrow.

"Hey, well, Miss Mao, if you are really drunk and no one cares, it may not be safe for you to go out alone."

"It's okay, the owner of the izakaya is my friend."

Shino waved her hand, realizing that Jiang Bai didn't have to worry, and then took another sip of wine along the hip flask, then she looked at Jiang Bai and said, "Speaking of it, Miss Miyano, what do you think about my variety show plan?" ?”

"Ah, of course I won't refuse. I also made up for the previous "Life Challenge! Go!". I think it is a very high-quality variety entertainment program. Moreover, choosing to face the Internet is a very smart choice."

Jiang Bai's praise made Zhen Xu feel a little proud, and he said quite happily: "Hahaha, that is, although I am not as good as the big brother's wood in terms of industry, but in terms of vision, I am much farther than him."

"He is helping parents to manage their existing industries well, and I am responsible for developing the company to enter new industries~"

Mentioning his achievements in business, Mao suddenly became proud, with a calm and confident smile on his cheeks, and there was a hint of showing off in his tone, and even a hint of comparison.

And Jiang Bai also felt from her words that she seemed to be particularly concerned about the comparison between herself and her elder brother, and she didn't know if she was thinking too much. Jiang Bai felt that she seemed to care about the importance of herself in the family.

Mao always likes to use the family business as a mantra, and the conversations with her are basically inseparable from her own company and business.

For a professional woman, it may not be wrong to attach so much importance to the company, but Jiang Bai still feels that Mao cares too much about these things, as if they are the most important things to him.

"Miss Mao, you seem to be very concerned about the Hoshino family's property."

"Of course! That's a business that our family has managed little by little for three generations. It took decades to grow into what it is now. As the eldest daughter of the Hoshino family, I must let the business continue to be brilliant!"

Zhen Xu replied to Jiang Bai firmly.

"However, I've heard from Makoto that the family business seems to be managed by the eldest brother, and Ms. Mao seems to set up a separate business to work hard on her own..."

"I am a member of the Hoshino family. As long as it is a property I have worked hard for, it will naturally belong to the Hoshino family. How can I set up a separate family? The reason why I use it in my own name is purely because I want to be more free."

Zhen Xu replied to Jiang Bai while drinking.These words sounded okay, but after Jiang Bai thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

Dongying's family concept is actually quite old-fashioned, especially when it comes to women getting married. After marriage, they need to change their surnames. Apart from blood relationship, they still belong to their mother's family, but their identity already belongs to their husband's family, and even their own assets belong to them. In-law's.

Therefore, it is debatable for Mao to say that his property also belongs to the Hoshino family. Of course, with the size of the Hoshino family, and with Mao's identity and character, the possibility of marrying is actually not very high, and it is more likely to be a recruit.

Thinking about it this way, there seems to be no problem. Jiang Bai was a little confused for a while. Although he felt something was wrong, he just didn't know what was wrong.

Thinking of the end, she didn't even think about it because she had no idea, and praised Mao: "Miss Zhenxu, you really attach great importance to your family. You know, you can still choose to take care of yourself when you have a successor like your eldest brother." It is indeed a courageous choice to take such a big responsibility."

"... have... courage?"

Jiang Bai's praise made Zhen Xu not wrinkle. She muttered the word, and finally laughed at herself, took a sip of wine, and asked Jiang Bai: "Hey, Jiang Bai, what is your family like? ?”

"My family? Well...a very lively younger sister, and a mother who looks reckless but is actually quite shrewd. Although my father died early, so the early life was relatively stressful, but it is much better now."

"...Is that so...then...you guys, have you ever held a family gathering?"

"Family gathering?" Jiang Bai was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but think of what the housekeeper Ji Sen had said to her in the Tokyo Dome, and what Makoto had said to her when she returned home.

Jiang Bai probably guessed why Mao came to this izakaya alone to drink away his sorrows...

"Family gatherings... I have never done this before. If I really want to talk about family gatherings, I will go home to visit my mother and younger sister on weekends and stay there for one night. Many times, my mother and younger sister also have My own independent space and time, many things, a phone call is enough.”

Jiang Bai said to Zhen Xu that she probably guessed Zhen Xu's obsession with the family.

Compared with Makoto, Shino's attitude towards family is completely opposite, persistent, important, family is the most important thing, and family is the most important thing, and he will never leave the family with a few words.

Although Zhenxu and Zhenqin grew up in the same environment, the final perception was indeed huge, and Jiang Bai didn't know why Zhenxu was so obsessed with the family, but this kind of excessive obsession was not very good.

From Ji Sen's words, Jiang Bai knew that Mao's obsession had already troubled his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Thinking that he might join Hoshino's family in the future, Jiang Bai felt that he still needed to solve the family problems early.

Casually, she intentionally advised Mao, and Zhen Xu was slightly taken aback by her words, and couldn't help thinking: "Leave a separate space..."

After talking to himself, Zhen Xu couldn't help being slightly stunned, not knowing what he was thinking, Jiang Bai didn't continue talking, silently waiting for Zhen Xu to think.

The two stood silently in the back garden of the izakaya. The sound of running water overwhelmed the hazy noise from the izakaya, making the atmosphere in the backyard quiet and peaceful.

Just when the two stopped for a long time, a woman seemed to be looking for something and walked into the backyard, and when she saw Jiang Bai standing in the backyard, her eyes lit up.

"Miss Miyano! So you are here!"

Jiang Bai was taken aback by the greeting of the person who came, and she quickly turned her head to look behind her, while Fukatsu Eri walked towards the two of them.

Mao was also interrupted by Fukatsu Eri's greeting, she also turned her head to look behind her, and met Fukatsu Eri's eyes.

Fukatsu Eri was about to ask Jiang Bai why she didn't go back to the dinner party for a long time, but when she saw Zhen Xu, she couldn't help but immediately greeted Zhen Xu politely: "Hello, Ms. Hoshino, I didn't expect to be able to See you here."

"Huh?" Mao frowned, tilted his head and looked at Fukatsu Eri, and asked uncertainly after recalling for a while: "You are...Miss Fukatsu Eri?"

"Ah, I didn't expect Miss Hoshino to remember me so much." Fukatsu Eri responded with a slight smile, then looked at Jiang Bai and Maou curiously, and asked, "You two are..."

"Ah, Jiang Bai is my friend. I happened to meet here, so I came to chat." Facing Fukatsu Eri's curiosity, Mao embraced Jiang Bai with a natural expression, and his friendly gesture seemed to indicate the relationship between the two .

And Fukatsu Eri looked at Mao's movements in surprise, and couldn't help being surprised. When she first heard that Jiang Bai could be the assistant director of the crew, she guessed that Jiang Bai's background might not be low, maybe he was a relative of the director, or The new favorite of a big company.

However, seeing that Mao and Jiang Bai are so close, I realized that I seem to be conservative, and being able to have such a close relationship with the eldest lady of the Hoshino Consortium is much more valuable than any director's relatives.

When I thought about Jiang Bai talking about saying that he was acting because he had to pay back the debt when he was chatting, he still felt pitiful at the time. Now, when he looks at it, she is friends with such a benefactor. What kind of debt is this?

Fukatsu Eri couldn't help thinking about it in her heart, but she didn't say anything on the surface, she just nodded politely to express her understanding.

Shino also felt that he seemed to be in a daze for a long time, so he patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder and said: "Well, the chat was very enjoyable, let's talk again when I have time, now I won't bother you, continue your conversation Dinner is ready."

Saying that, Zhen Xu let go and put his arms around Jiang Bai's shoulders, carrying the wine bottle and preparing to go back and continue drinking.

But just as she was about to leave, Jiang Bai suddenly stopped her: "Miss Zhenxu."

"Ok?"

"...Let's drink less wine, you're a little drunk."

"...Oh, don't worry about it, the owner is my acquaintance."

After finishing speaking, Mao took another sip of wine and left the backyard, leaving Jiang Bai with a concerned face and Fukatsu Eri in surprise.

When Shino walked away, Fukatsu Eri immediately approached Jiang Bai and asked, "Jiang Bai...you and Ms. Hoshino... have such a good relationship?"

"Uh...Actually, it's okay..."

"Is this also called okay?"

"Uh...hahaha..."

Jiang Bai smiled awkwardly. In fact, she was quite surprised by Zhen Xu's behavior of embracing her just now, even... Was it an illusion? Zhen Xu seemed to pinch his waist on purpose just now...

Jiang Bai scratched his cheeks, and could only barely fool Fukatsu Eri, and then followed Jiang Bai back to the private room. The noisy voice in his ears still made Jiang Bai quite impatient. After the peace and tranquility, Jiang Bai was even more in the mood to continue socializing.

A group of old men who accompanied the crew socialized until midnight, and the dinner party ended slowly.

Jiang Bai only felt that it was also entertainment, and the dinner party of the Fujimoto crew was eating and drinking, but the dinner party with the Shimizu crew was like going to jail, and this group of middle-aged practitioners was really good at talking.

After this meal, Jiang Bai felt more tired than he had been filming for a day.

Jiang Bai, an old man who is already in his [-]s or [-]s, is like this. Naturally, the young girls like Hirano Ling couldn't bear it anymore. After everyone left, they lay crookedly in the private room.

Fukatsu Eri's expression was normal, obviously she was used to it.

"I thought, Jiang Bai, you may not be able to handle this kind of battle at such a young age, but unexpectedly, you have experience and are more skilled than me."

She was talking about Jiang Bai's proficiency in entertainment. Jiang Bai just shook his head with a wry smile. He has lived for four or fifty years. If he can't learn this, he will live in vain. Although this thing is basically Dross.

"Well, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and they have to learn something that they don't want to know. It's getting late, Miss Eri, please go home quickly and rest earlier."

"Well, you also pay attention to safety."

"Hey hey~"

Jiang Bai chuckled and nodded, then picked up the coat he took off and walked out of the private room.Looking at the coat hanging on his arm, Jiang Bai felt that he had an inexplicable sense of community.

Hey, she is obviously a young and beautiful girl.

With a self-deprecating smile, Jiang Bai walked down the stairs and came to the lobby, but at the first glance, Jiang Bai inexplicably noticed that Mao, who was sitting in front of the bar holding a bottle of sake, was half lying on the table, his face flushed Pour wine.

Beside her, there are still several empty wine bottles that have been emptied.

"Miss Mao!?"

Looking at Zhen Xu, who was obviously drunk and unconscious, Jiang Bai immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Eh? Jiang...Jiang Bai? Uh... hiccup... you... why are you... shaking around?... Are you... are you drunk?"

"..."

Sister, you are the one who got drunk.

Jiang Bai complained helplessly in his heart. He had clearly reminded him not to drink too much, but he was still so drunk when he took it. Looking at the piles of wine bottles around Zhenxu, Jiang Bai couldn't help being surprised.

This is too drinkable. If the wine is replaced with water, the stomach of a normal person can't hold it down.

"That...Miss Zhenxu, stop drinking, it's so late, let's go back?" Jiang Bai whispered in Zhenxu's ear.

But Shino paused, bounced up with blurred eyes, and asked, "Go back... go... where are you going?"

"Go home."

"Well... I... I don't have a home! I... I don't want to call that place home!... Hiccup... Daddy... Mom... Never go back... Eldest brother doesn't go back either... Brothers and sisters I won't go back either... just say... say I'm back... no one responds..."

"Obviously...on TV...on TV...the families, sons, daughters...go home...say...he hits right away~...hiccup...hehe! Mom is here~ But Why! My family can't be like that!"

"Tell me! Why can't my family be like that!? Ah?"

Jiang Bai looked at Zhen Xu, who was a little drunk at the moment, and didn't know whether to respond for a while, because she felt that even if she responded, Zhen Xu might not be able to hear clearly.

Now Shino couldn't hear anything clearly, and would just let his instinct vent the anguish in his heart.

"Hi... say... say something... give them space... ah... it's been more than 20 years, isn't there enough space... I haven't been home since I was a child... don't you know there are children at home Wait for them!"
