The Warner Pioneer headquarters building in Japan is indeed quite large and advanced, but after all it cannot be compared with a large factory, so I ended up walking around for a while. Lan
During this period, Cao Zhiqiang could also see that Akina Nakamori, the tour guide, was a bit reluctant. The process of taking Cao Zhiqiang around the building was more like completing a task than coming from the heart.
Therefore, after a rough visit to several departments and a general understanding of the situation, Cao Zhiqiang excused himself as tired and went directly to the employee rest area with Akina Nakamori, found a deserted corner to sit down, and ordered a drink while drinking. While chatting.
However, after finding a seat in the rest area and sitting down, Akina Nakamori had nothing to say and just sat and drank.
Seemingly sensing Nakamori Akina's restraint and embarrassment, Cao Zhiqiang simply said to himself: "Ms. Nakamori, I'm afraid it wasn't your intention to take me to visit your company this time? Is it the company's request?"
"Ah?" Nakamori Akina was stunned, raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, smiled dryly and shook her head, "No, I actually..."
At this point, she noticed that Cao Zhiqiang had been looking at her with a smile, and Nakamori Akina sighed: "Is this so obvious?"
Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "Pretty much, you're not good at this at first glance." Lan
Nakamori Akina then scratched her hair with both hands: "Yes, I have already said that I am not good at this, but they insist on asking me to come, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"Won't you refuse?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
Nakamori Akina pouted: "It would be fine if it was just Section Chief Tomioka, but this time the president personally called me over and assigned me a task. How dare I refuse?"
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina raised her head and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, you are very powerful. Even our president values you so much. What is your background?"
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang said with a slight smile, "I'm just an ordinary Chinese. If you have to say why your president values me, maybe it's just because he wants something from me."
Nakamori Akina nodded thoughtfully: "That's right."
Immediately afterwards, Nakamori Akina looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that you could come to our company, and it seems that you have signed a contract with our company, right? In this case, we will be colleagues from now on." Lan
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina took the initiative to smile and stretched out her right hand: "Colleague, please take good care of me in the future."
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand: "You are a senior, you should take more care of me."
"Ah, that's right." Akina Nakamori poked her chin with her right index finger, "If you think about it carefully, I entered the company earlier than you, so I am indeed your senior."
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina deliberately straightened her back and said to Cao Zhiqiang with a straight face, "Ah, junior, please call me, senior!"
"Yes, senior!" Cao Zhiqiang quickly bowed lightly.
"Hahaha!" Akina Nakamori covered her mouth and laughed, and patted the table lightly, "Interesting, it's really interesting."
Cao Zhiqiang also laughed, but said nothing. Lan
He now discovered that Akina Nakamori is actually a very cheerful girl. She seemed cold before just because she was not familiar with you.
Once she gets acquainted with you, or she feels that she can get acquainted with you, she is very talkative, even compared to Kyoko Koizumi, she is no less talkative.
No wonder she and Kyoko Koizumi are friends. He thought they had complementary personalities before, but now it seems that they are clearly the same person.
It's just that Koizumi Kyoko is relatively more outgoing and can be cheerful to unfamiliar people.
But Akina Nakamori is different. To people she doesn't know, she acts very indifferent, even aloof, but now it seems that it is just her disguise.
"So, do you really want to develop with us in the future?" Akina Nakamori suddenly asked.
Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said: "At present, yes." Lan
"That's really good." Nakamori Akina smiled, "I have listened to your songs, they are very nice, especially your voice, which can be both gentle and passionate. It sounds good, not to mention that you can also sing your own songs. Wrote a song.
I believe that with your ability, you will definitely succeed in the future and become a big star! "
"Thank you for your kind words." Cao Zhiqiang smiled politely.
"By the way." Akina Nakamori said, "Do you remember Kyoko Koizumi? She was the girl I took with me when we had dinner together last time."
"Uh..." Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "Remember, what's wrong?"
Akina Nakamori blinked: "After we said goodbye last time, she kept mentioning you in front of me. It seems that she is really interested in you. By the way, do you really have a girlfriend?"
"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded. Lan
"Then it's over." Nakamori Akina shook her head with a pity look on her face, "It seems that our today's son, this time, the flowers are falling, and the flowing water is ruthless."
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang laughed dryly.
"Let's not talk about her." Nakamori Akina waved her hand, "Cao Sang, will you develop in Japan for a long time in the future?"
"It depends on the situation." Cao Zhiqiang said ambiguously.
"I think it's better for you to stay in Japan." Akina Nakamori said, "I don't mean anything else. I just think that if you stay here, your development will be better. After all, you speak Japanese so well and sing so well." , and I can write my own songs, so if I am here, I will definitely succeed.”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "I am also very successful at home, and more successful than here, in every sense."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Nakamori Akina quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I didn't mean to belittle your country, I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I know you don't mean that. You just think I will succeed here for my own good, right?"
"Yes, that's it." Nakamori Akina stuck out her tongue, "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at talking. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "It bothers me a lot if you keep apologizing like this. I think it would be better if you could treat me as an equal and treat us as ordinary friends."
"Really? Is it really okay?" Akina Nakamori asked.
"Of course!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, senior!" Akina Nakamori nodded quickly.
But soon, Akina Nakamori realized something: "Ah, I forgot again, I am the senior." Lan
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang just laughed.
"Ah, it's true." Akina Nakamori said angrily, "Here, I always call people "senpai" when I see them. I'm used to it. I almost forgot that you are younger than me and you are my junior. It's true."
After a short pause, Nakamori Akina raised her head and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "However, although you are one year older than me, you look a bit old-fashioned, just like those uncles. I always thought you were in your thirties." ...Are you really only nineteen years old?"
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "My current biological age is indeed nineteen."
Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Nakamori Akina smiled, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and drank the drink through a straw.
Seeing that there was no topic again, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and said proactively: "Miss Zhongsen, what do you usually do at this time?"
"This is the usual time?" Nakamori Akina raised her head and thought for a moment, "At this usual time, I should be practicing in the practice room." Lan
"practise?"
"Yes, practice."
Akina Nakamori nodded: "Actually, I'm very busy most of the time. If I don't record records or participate in activities, I have to do basic training, and I don't have much free time.
For example, I have to practice pronunciation, learn music theory, continue to practice dancing, etc. here, which is not as relaxing as everyone thinks.
Many people say that I am an idol singer and I only rely on my appearance to make a living. In fact, no matter what kind of singer, it is very difficult and not easy at all. "
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Yes, it's not easy to be a worker in this world."
"That's right." Nakamori Akina nodded, "Even though I'm an idol star now, I'm actually just a worker. Life is very hard."
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled.
I thought, yes, it is not easy to work as a worker, but this is not easy, but there is still a difference.
At least you, a migrant worker, are better than most ordinary workers.
So it’s hard for you to have a hard time, and it’s really hard to empathize with you.
"Cao-san." Nakamori Akina continued, "I'm very happy today because I don't have to be forced to practice anymore. I just have to entertain you."
"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "That's really an honor."
Akina Nakamori smiled and said: "Actually, to be honest, I thought it would be troublesome to entertain you, but now it seems that you are very easy to get along with and it is not troublesome at all."
Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, you artists, do you still have to go out to entertain guests all the time?"
"Some people do this." Akina Nakamori nodded, "But it's usually voluntary and not forced."
After a brief pause, Nakamori Akina lowered her head and said: "I know what you are thinking, but it's not that serious. At least here, they won't force us to go out to accompany guests. Everything is voluntary.
However, as far as I know, many seniors who are older and have never been famous will volunteer or even ask the company to help introduce customers, of course those customers with energy, and then hope that by accompanying those customers with energy, they will Extend your acting career. "
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina sighed: "Actually, in our industry, we are very dependent on youth. Once we are not famous when we are young, it will be even more difficult in the future.
If you really get older, you won't be able to compete with young girls.
No way, the competition in this industry is so fierce. "Lan
Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Miss Zhongsen, you are only eighteen years old, which is the best time in your life. Isn't it too early to think about these things now?"
Akina Nakamori sighed again: "There is a saying in China: be prepared for danger in times of peace. Although I seem to be doing fine now, no one can guarantee the future."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you don't be obsessed with love and don't give up your career for love. As long as you focus on your career, you will definitely succeed and become an evergreen star. , will not be easily eliminated.”
"Yeah, just like you said, I'm lending you a favor." Akina Nakamori smiled.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly.
Yes, Cao Zhiqiang thought of it. Akina Nakamori is most famous for her "epic and tearful" love history.
It seemed that she was the scumbag she met at the end of this year, and then she fell in love with him without hesitation. She was hurt repeatedly by him, but she still refused to let him go. It didn't matter if he caused a scandal. Lan
In the end, she was really heartbroken, and she finally let go as she got older. However, because of this relationship, not only did she miss the best period of development, but it also cast a shadow on her.
If Nakamori Akina's voice wasn't so special, and like Wang Fei, she was rewarded by God, and then broke and stood up again, turning into a butterfly, it was her unfortunate love, and she might have really collapsed.
Also, it’s really good to see Akina Nakamori from a close distance now.
Although she is not as beautiful as Qinghong, she is very attractive. The more she looks at her, the cuter and more beautiful she becomes.
In addition, she is young and lively enough, and her whole body is full of youthful atmosphere. Being with her makes people feel very relaxed.
It’s just that it’s not good to trust people easily.
No wonder she was deceived into being like that by a scumbag. Lan
Do you want to remind her more and help her avoid that scumbag?
Forget it, it's better to mind your own business and avoid getting into trouble.
After all, I have a heavy responsibility now, so it’s better to do less extraneous things.
Seemingly feeling a little cold again, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and took the initiative to speak again: "Well, MTV is filming in the afternoon, right?"
"Yes." Nakamori Akina nodded quickly.
"Then do you have anything else to do in the morning?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
"No, no, yes." Akina Nakamori said, "My task in the morning is to entertain you well."
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Is there any prescribed scope? I mean, must I only be able to move within the scope of the company?"
"That's not true." Akina Nakamori shook her head, "What, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I want to go to a nearby bookstore, is that okay?"
"A bookstore." Nakamori Akina smiled, "No problem, I know there is a good bookstore nearby. The place is quite big and the environment is good. Can I take you there?"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Cao Zhiqiang stood up directly, "Hurry up and leave, I've had enough here!"
Nakamori Akina smiled and stood up as well: "Then you wait here for a moment, I'll go say hello, talk to someone, and then take you there."
In this way, Nakamori Akina went back and spoke to the front desk, and then led Cao Zhiqiang out of Warner Pioneer's headquarters building. Lan
After leaving, Akina Nakamori did not wave for a taxi. Instead, she led Cao Zhiqiang across the road on foot.
According to Nakamori Akina, the bookstore is not far from here, so there is no need to take a car, and walking can provide exercise, which is more meaningful.
Cao Zhiqiang is noncommittal about this. After all, he is not good at running or walking. He just likes to ride in a car.
But since I have a sweet girl like Akina Nakamori accompanying me, walking is not impossible.
In addition, by walking, you can really observe the surrounding environment better and become more grounded.
How should I put it? I’m not bragging. Tokyo, Japan, during this period, at least in terms of urban construction, is really good, no worse than domestic first- and second-tier cities in 2023.
No wonder people say that Japan in the 1980s and 1990s was Japan’s best era and the period when its self-confidence was strongest. Lan
It's a pity that due to various congenital deficiencies, he was beaten up by his American father after he swelled up, and soon returned to his original form.
Well, after all, the 1980s were the best era for China, the United States, and China and Japan.
If it had seized the time to rise in the 1980s, China would have climbed even faster.
It's a pity that Western countries don't like to be taken advantage of as much as the Soviet Union. They always provide free assistance or even systematic assistance. Instead, they need money for everything.
But China in the 1980s was short of foreign exchange. To put it bluntly, there was no money.
This led to the fact that throughout the early to mid-1980s, when relations between China and the West were at their best, there were obviously a lot of things to buy, but they could only look at them because they couldn't afford them.
From this perspective, being able to obtain advanced Western technology and finished products at low prices is definitely a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Lan
Country, country, only with a country can I have a family, only with a family can I have myself.
Since we are still Chinese in this life, let us serve our motherland well.
It’s hard to say about the grassroots level of the motherland, but at least the upper-level leaders are said to be very loyal.
Cao Zhiqiang believes that as long as he can really gain great benefits for the country and act more cautiously, the country will do its best to protect him.
"Oh, I really didn't want to make it so big."
Cao Zhiqiang thought as he walked.
"Originally, I really just wanted to copy articles and songs and live a happy life. Who knew that so many sensitive advanced technologies and advanced equipment would suddenly come to me." Lan
"Then since it's all been given to me, I have no reason not to want it, and there's no reason not to dedicate it to the country."
"But if this continues for a long time, I'm afraid that in the future..."
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
"If I am really discovered, the worst case scenario is that I will stay in the country and not go out. As long as I don't go abroad, the country will definitely be able to protect me."
"As for now, I still want to go out more when I have the opportunity. After all, life in developed countries is quite nice."
"Oh, Double Standard smells so good, no wonder everyone loves Double Standard, hehehe."
