He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

At the same time, it was also the first time for Kento Watanabe to experience firsthand what it was like to have a servant serving beside him.

(Wow...I always feel so stressed.)

Kento Watanabe, who was not used to being watched by others while eating, suppressed the nervousness in his heart and completed the meal mechanically.

Although the dishes are all very delicious, at this time, Kento Watanabe really can't focus on the food in front of him——

(Later...how to persuade Ms. Du Ye.)

Originally, Kento Watanabe planned to hand over his business card himself, and then take the initiative to invite Ms. Du Ye to Du Ye Rinse, and continue the next topic.

However, he never expected that Du Yelinshi would take the initiative to find his mother and express his thoughts before him...

Negotiating passively in the first place will probably become even more passive in the future.

After dinner time, there will definitely be a fierce battle...

"Mr. Watanabe."

"?"

While Kento Watanabe was still worried about the upcoming negotiations, Rinse Duye suddenly whispered to him:

"You seem to have no appetite...does it not suit your taste?"

"Ah! No."

Kento Watanabe quickly shook his head.

“Every meal is delicious! I love it!”

"that's fine."

After receiving the answer, Duye Rinshi nodded immediately and showed a reassuring smile.

On the other side, Ms. Du Ye, who was sitting on the main seat, once again showed a thoughtful expression after seeing her daughter's reaction...

........................

In a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, dinner time ended quickly.

Immediately afterwards, when the servants cleaned up all the tableware, only Watanabe Kento and Du Ye's mother and daughter were left in the restaurant...

"Then, it's time to talk about business."

Ms. Du Ye put down the tea cup in her hand and put on a completely different serious expression from before.

"About Rinse wanting to become an idol."

"..."

Seeing the unsmiling look on Ms. Du Ye's face, Kento Watanabe swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

To a certain extent, the psychological pressure this Ms. Du Ye brought to him had even faintly exceeded

Top stylists take care of everything.

The superiors are really terrible...

Kento Watanabe couldn't help but think so.

At the same time, Ms. Du Ye saw that both of them were ready to talk, so she immediately said:

"Rinshi."

"Yes."

"Before you met Mr. Watanabe, you had never shown interest in an 'idol'."

"Indeed."

"In that case, what is the reason why you became interested in 'idol', a profession that you don't understand at all?"

Hearing this, Duye Rinshi first turned his head and glanced at Kento Watanabe's side face, and then said:

"It's because... I admire Mr. Watanabe very much as a person, and I also long for the relationship between Mr. Watanabe and the two idol ladies."

"..."

Even though he had already heard this from Rinse Duye, Kento Watanabe still inevitably became shy under the gaze of his parents.

On the other side, Ms. Du Ye, who received the answer, did not show any emotional fluctuations, but continued to ask with a straight face:

"Then, can I understand...that you want to become an idol solely because of Mr. Watanabe?"

"Yes."

Under Kento Watanabe's worried gaze, Duye Rinshi answered without hesitation.

"It's because of Mr. Watanabe... that I want to become an idol."

"...Yeah. I understand."

After hearing her daughter's answer, Ms. Duye picked up the tea cup again and took a sip, as if she wanted to hide the subtle changes in her expression.

"Then, if I have something to say to Mr. Watanabe alone, please go back to your room first."

"……Yes."

Du Ye Linshi nodded, then stood up obediently and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, she looked back at Kento Watanabe's back, and then slowly left.

........................

"That kid has been very obedient since he was a child."

After Du Ye Rinshi left the room, Ms. Du Ye suddenly began to talk about her past.

"Although the education method will indeed affect the child to a great extent, the child has always been quiet and well-behaved from the first day he became sensible. He will never disobey his parents' orders, and will never do anything that would offend us. Angry things...and in contrast, she rarely talks to us about her feelings."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help showing a rather helpless expression.

"She is excellent and works hard. Whether it is her studies as a student or her artistic skills as the daughter of the Du Ye family, she has done very well. I have always been very proud of this... but occasionally I am a little worried. Obviously she She has entered the flowering season, but she doesn’t show any signs of enjoying her youth.”

"…………"

After hearing Ms. Du Ye's story, Kento Watanabe couldn't help but nodded with sympathy.

Compared with his peers Enka Higuchi and Yuko Daito, Rinse Morino is far quieter and calmer than the two of them.

Although Higuchi Enka also has a calm and calm character, the sense of composure shown by Duye Rinse is far more thorough than that of Higuchi Enka.

"...Did the Du Ye family's education policy deliberately guide her to have this kind of character?"

"not at all."

Ms. Duye shook her head.

"Although we will supervise her words and deeds, it is only in terms of etiquette. We have never restricted her movements, let alone deliberately controlled her lifestyle."

"It's just a matter of personality."

"Well, this is also the most difficult thing."

Ms. Du Ye said:

"I have always been worried about whether she will maintain this restrained lifestyle because of her overly honest and conservative character. Although the Du Ye family attaches great importance to traditional education, we never intend to let our children live in the past. . As a mother, I also hope that she can enjoy her youth as an ordinary girl like her sister... In fact, I have always had this worry until just now."

"Until just now..."

Kento Watanabe couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this.

"That means...you are no longer worried now?"

"Yes, after all, this is the first time that the child has expressed her thoughts and demands to me so clearly and resolutely."

Speaking of this, Ms. Du Ye couldn't help but smile with relief.

"It wasn't until I saw the hairpins she had specially chosen to model kimonos for you that I finally realized that it wasn't that she was suppressing herself so far, but that she hadn't encountered anything that could penetrate her heart... Today, she finally met her."

"You mean...'idol'?"

"...you can say the same."

Ms. Du Ye nodded slightly:

"After all, her biggest wish now is to become your idol. So you are right to say that."

"Then...what do you think of her wish?"

Kento Watanabe asked:

"Are you against it, or are you in support?"

"Although I am a little worried, I still want to support it."

Ms. Du Ye gave an answer that made Kento Watanabe extremely reassuring.

"This is the first time she has made such a clear statement,

I didn't want to curb her hard-won desire. "

"……I see."

Kento Watanabe nodded understandingly.

Through Ms. Du Ye's explanation, he had fully understood the other party's thoughts at this time.

"The reason why you support her is because you want to encourage the initiative shown by Miss Rinshi..."

"That's right. After all, like her, I basically know nothing about the profession of 'idol'. So other than giving her a positive answer, I can't give her any more support."

Ms. Du Ye said truthfully:

"And next, this is the key point for me to keep you here - I no longer have any doubts about her feelings and determination. What I want now is the confirmation sheet, which is more realistic. First of all, I hope you He was able to introduce me to the work content of the idol profession in the most detailed way.”

Just like an interview question, Ms. Du Ye set this question for Kento Watanabe.

However, this kind of test question can be said to have played exactly into Kento Watanabe’s wish——

"...Ah, I see."

After hearing the other party's request, Kento Watanabe suddenly showed a confident smile.

"If it's a topic about idols, it doesn't matter how much you talk about. So, let's start with the main activities of this profession..."

After confirming the other party's position and opinions, Watanabe Kento also put down all worries and wariness, and began to tell the other party all about the idol.

Similarly, Ms. Du Ye also listened to Kento Watanabe's explanation very seriously and patiently, and asked corresponding questions from time to time.

Although Ms. Du Ye showed a slight frown when introducing the current situation of Watanabe Office... but the overall process was still very smooth.

……… Half an hour later………

"In short... that's it."

After answering Ms. Du Ye's last question, Kento Watanabe, who was thirsty and thirsty, picked up the tea cup in front of him and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"……temporarily unavailable."

Ms. Du Ye put down the notepad in her hand and exhaled slightly.

"I'm really surprised. Your understanding of idol activities is as if you have been in the industry for more than ten years."

"Well...counting my years as an idol otaku, I do have ten years of experience in the industry."

Kento Watanabe said with some embarrassment:

“It’s precisely because I really like idols that I decided to become a producer.”

"Well...I can feel it."

After nearly half an hour of explanation and Q&A, Ms. Du Ye has fully realized Ken Watanabe’s enthusiasm and dedication to his idol work.At the same time, she could indeed sense from Kento Watanabe's persistent attitude his sincerity and expectations for Duye Rinse.

and so--

"Then, I will hand over my daughter to you, Mr. Watanabe."

Ms. Du Ye said:

"Please be sure to treat her with all your heart as you said."
