A izakaya in Shibuya at night.
After another invitation and explanation of the location, at 7 o'clock, Ninomiya Chizuru successfully met up with them.
She had just come out of school and had not yet gone home to change clothes. She was still wearing her school outfit, a shirt and a black tight skirt. She had a cool temperament and looked very charming.
The biggest advantage of izakayas over other stores is their private rooms.
Around a small table, Ninomiya Chizuru sat next to Igarashi Runa, her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings crossed as she sat sideways, very eye-catching.
“How was the interview today?”
As they sat down, Ninomiya Chizuru noticed that neither of them said anything, so she spoke first.
She arrived a little late, so she was not very clear about what happened to the two people.
"It was good at first, but after I put forward the conditions, it became bad."
Kurosawa Hikaru stole a glance at her beautiful legs, then looked away before being discovered and said.
"What conditions did you propose?"
"I don't want to show my true identity as Kurosawa Hikaru, a student in the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo."
"Ah? Why? You want to be an artist, but you don't want to show up?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this condition, she was stunned.
"Strange?" Kurosawa Mitsuru asked when he saw her reaction.
"It's very strange." Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, very sure of this, but she didn't say what was in her mind.
He is so handsome and has the potential to be a star, but he doesn't plan to show up in public. What's his purpose
"Actually, he was thinking that if fans knew he was Kurosawa Hikaru, his personal life would be monitored by reporters. He wanted to be like today, where even meeting you outside of school would be exposed."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Igarashi Runa leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"..." After learning the reason, Ninomiya Chizuru was stunned for a moment, glanced at Kurosawa Hikaru, and felt a little complicated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"You didn't see it. Kurosawa's piano piece was so amazing that it stunned the whole audience. I was also shocked. I didn't expect his level to be so high."
Skipping this topic, Igarashi Runa sighed.
"Better than the day at the restaurant?"
"It has to be better. I don't think he played to his full potential that day."
“Are you that good at piano?”
Ninomiya Chizuru looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with some surprise.
She could sense that Runa was not exaggerating but really thought so.
"It's fine."
Kurosawa Hikaru felt a little happy when he was looked at by her surprised eyes. His vanity was satisfied, so he said modestly.
"Because his piano skills are so good and his overall quality is so high, but he refuses to show up, old lady Hamada thinks he is making a fuss. She even said something harsh, saying that he either shows up or forget about signing with Phantom Star Agency."
“No wonder others feel this way… It’s such a waste.”
"Then, I decided that I want to quit my job and start my own business." After explaining the situation almost completely, Igarashi Runa suddenly stood up and announced impatiently.
"???"
Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru was immediately filled with question marks.
What's going on? Is what you just said related to what you are talking about now
"But you started working as a broker before you graduated from college, and you worked hard for so many years to get promoted to this position..."
Ninomiya Chizuru felt that she was going crazy and reminded her.
"It is only after working so hard for so many years that I can clearly realize that no matter how hard I work or how motivated I am, I am still an employee, not a boss."
"But your salary is so high... Looking at the whole of Japan, you are one of the most elite people."
“No matter how high your salary is, it is paid by others. But when you are a boss, you pay the salary to others.”
“Starting a business is not that easy… and if it fails, it will be very troublesome.”
“Bang!”
"Don't worry, I am absolutely sure that this is definitely a clear path."
Igarashi Runa put one foot on the small table, full of fighting spirit.
Maybe because she is a fashion expert, she also had a manicure. Her feet were painted with blue nail polish, which looked shiny and beautiful.
Although she was standing high, she was wearing hot pants so there was no risk of exposing herself.
"Are you drunk?"
"I haven't even started drinking yet, how can I be drunk?"
As they were conversing frantically, Kurosawa Hikaru sat opposite them without saying a word.
"What is the situation now?"
"Hahaha, I'll explain it to you slowly."
Seeing that she couldn't understand at all, Igarashi Runa smiled, calmed down a little, and told her everything that happened in the car from beginning to end.
"So you are the culprit." While listening to the explanation, Ninomiya Chizuru learned that it was Kurosawa Mitsuru who first proposed to be the boss. She couldn't help but glance at Kurosawa Mitsuru. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was very clear.
After a while, I finally finished telling the story.
"Is Kurosawa's singing really that good?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little surprised.
To be honest, she was already surprised that Kurosawa Hikaru was good at playing the piano.
"I kid you not, he sang like a karaoke god, and his singing was almost exactly the same, or even better, and he picked a few songs at random and sang them super well."
“Is it really possible to post the video online first?”
“The Karaoke God’s video was not specially produced, it was just recorded and edited a little and released, but it has received more than two million views, and that’s without any team promotion or fame.
If it was Kurosawa, he would play the piano and sing specifically for the video, and with me helping him with the promotion and operation, if he did a good job, it might become a hit on the Internet and directly make him famous.”
"If you think you can do it, then do it."
"Speaking of which, I don't have much experience in starting a company. I'm only good at communicating with various companies and discussing event cooperation. I think I'll need your help in many areas."
"… "
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this request, she fell into deep thought.
"We can really do it! Kurosawa, come and sing a couple of songs for Chizuru to open her eyes." Noticing that she was thinking about it, Igarashi Runa thought she didn't believe it and immediately called out to her.
"No, I trust your judgment and his ability... It's just that I have my own job and may not have that much time to help."
Ninomiya Chizuru wasn't actually doubting, she just had things to do.
"You should continue to be a teacher and come to help occasionally."
"good."
"Also, we may need your investment in the early stages of starting a company."
In the end, Igarashi Runa revealed her true colors and made the most crucial request.
She knew better than anyone how much money Qianzuru had. She was a wealthy woman.
"Don't you have an annual salary of 20 million, Miss Runa? Don't you have any savings?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised.
"After buying a house and a car, there's not much left."
"All right."
Ninomiya Chizuru realized the situation, looked at Runa, then at Kurosawa Hikaru, and after thinking for a while, she nodded.
In fact, if the person Runa relied on was not Kurosawa Hikaru, but someone else, she would definitely not accompany Runa to go crazy, but let her be an honest agent. After all, a job with such a high annual salary is not easy to come by.
"By the way, I still have 6 million in savings."
Following her agreement, Kurosawa Hikaru also added a sentence.
"Six million? Where did you get so much money?"
Igarashi Runa was stunned when he heard this and was immediately shocked.
"I saved it by working part-time as a tutor."
"I can't believe you're actually a little rich."
Realizing that he also had start-up capital, Igarashi Runa felt it was a pleasant surprise.
