For the next time, Cao Zhiqiang still quietly closed the door and coded, as if he had returned to the green years of his previous life when he was coding in seclusion.
As for daily necessities, such as buying groceries, cooking, cleaning the house, and even sleeping and chatting, Akina Nakamori is mostly doing it.
To be precise, during this period of time, Akina Nakamori has been taking care of Cao Zhiqiang in every detail. Cao Zhiqiang only needs to concentrate on coding, and he does not need to worry about other mundane matters at all.
This shows how good Nakamori Akina is. She does these tasks of taking care of people without any complaints, and is even very satisfied.
Even when it came to sorting out the original manuscript, Soya Nakamori Akina did it for her.
Basically, every time Cao Zhiqiang finishes writing a book, Nakamori Akina will sort it out and bind it into a volume, so Cao Zhiqiang no longer has to worry about it himself.
Of course, during this process, Akina Nakamori will also read the manuscript.
It doesn't matter if you don't read it. Once you read it, you will immediately become a fan of Cao Zhiqiang's book.
Especially the book "Snow Country", Nakamori Akina couldn't put it down. She read it three times in a row and still couldn't get enough.
Even books like "Thousand Cranes", which Cao Zhiqiang himself disliked, were read by Akina Nakamori with gusto.
The only bad thing is that after reading these manuscripts, Nakamori Akina is always easy to get emotional and can't help but want to, so Cao Zhiqiang has to waste a lot of time and energy to deal with Nakamori Akina's initiative.
But all in all, with Akina Nakamori accompanying her, Cao Zhiqiang felt that this life of staying at home and writing books was not bad.
No wonder the ancients paid attention to red sleeves to add fragrance.
Indeed, when you are writing a book, you have a gentle and lovely Meiko to accompany you, take care of the housework for you, organize the manuscript for you, and take care of your physical needs. It is really a magical life.
In fact, Cao Zhiqiang also knew that Akina Nakamori paid a lot of money to accompany him.
This is not only the cost of doing housework, but also the cost of career.
Because since she knew that Cao Zhiqiang was engaged in creation and writing Japanese, Nakamori Akina simply took a long leave and concentrated on being a nanny and assistant to Cao Zhiqiang at home.
If this were not the case, Cao Zhiqiang would never be able to live such a comfortable life.
But doing so would mean Nakamori Akina gave up her career.
You know, Nakamori Akina's current position is just an idol artist who has just debuted, similar to Koizumi Kyoko.
The most important thing for this kind of idol artist is popularity, and if you want to maintain popularity, you have to work every day, release new songs from time to time, take photos, or engage in some commercial activities.
To put it simply, the key to an idol singer is being an idol, and popularity is the most important. The way to maintain popularity is to show up more and maintain a certain degree of exposure.
Just like Kyoko Koizumi, even if she no longer sings new songs, she still has to accept various advertisements, take various photo shoots, publish posters, or attend various commercial performances, etc., in order to increase her exposure and maintain her popularity.
Akina Nakamori is supposed to do the same, but if she gives up on her own, the economic company will not force her to do it.
The reason is that in Japan in the 1980s, artists were very protected. Generally speaking, management companies would not squeeze artists too much unless the artists agreed.
Unlike some later Korean agencies, even if the artist disagrees, you have to accompany the client if you are asked to do so.
Maybe there are such black-hearted agencies in Japan, but at least Kenyin, where Akina Nakamori is currently working, is not such a black-hearted company, so it will not force artists to do anything.
But if the artist fails to cooperate on his own, although the agency will not force you, it will slowly reduce your work notices and even put you in cold storage until you lose your use value and then give up on you completely.
After all, the agency signs artists to make money. If the artist doesn't know how to make progress and doesn't work hard, he won't get used to it, unless you have a great background.
But it is obvious that Akina Nakamori, at least at this stage, has no background.
There is only one reason why Kenyin is so good to Nakamori Akina, and that is that Nakamori Akina is still valuable.
After all, Akina Nakamori is still very young, and the songs she sang before were also very popular. She has been in the top ten of the Oricon charts, and she has a certain fan base.
At least for now, Kenyin cannot produce a young female singer with stronger fan appeal than Akina Nakamori.
Therefore, until Yanyin finds someone who can replace Akina Nakamori, it will be open to Akina Nakamori.
Even Cao Zhiqiang is happy to see this happen, and hopes that Nakamori Akina will terminate her contract with Yanyin soon because of this, so that he can open a new agency, sign a contract with Nakamori Akina, and then vigorously promote her, but this kind of thing cannot be said in advance.
Therefore, Nakamori Akina didn't know Cao Zhiqiang's true plan at all.
In this case, Nakamori Akina took a long leave for Cao Zhiqiang when her career was booming and she needed to work hard. This is because she is really dedicated to Cao Zhiqiang and she really gave up her career because of love. Otherwise, there is no other explanation.
If you don't say that Nakamori Akina is a love brain, such a simple child will be fine if she meets a good person. If she meets a scumbag, she will always lie to him.
But this Akina Nakamori, according to Cao Zhiqiang's knowledge in his previous life, was a person who made mistakes repeatedly.
In the previous life, Akina Nakamori was obviously seriously injured by the scumbag from the beginning, but later she met the scumbag again and continued to follow the scumbag for seventeen years without any regrets. In the end, she was kicked away. What? nothing.
At that time, Akina Nakamori was already old, but she still had to come back to make a living.
In short, Akina Nakamori in her previous life was really pitiful and hateful. How could she not change despite repeated admonitions? She always had a lack of brains and always followed the scumbag without any regrets and paid so much for the scumbag.
Although Cao Zhiqiang does not think he is a good person, he can at least guarantee not to abandon Nakamori Akina unless Nakamori Akina chooses to leave him.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang will not let Nakamori Akina pay for the menu. He will definitely try his best to make Nakamori Akina a smash hit female singer and female diva.
Even if Akina Nakamori doesn't like to attend various events, it doesn't matter.
We can play the strong side.
As long as Akina Nakamori can sing a large number of timeless classic songs in the future and establish her reputation as the "Original Diva", then even if she doesn't like to hold concerts and show up all day long, she can still package her unique songs Or, maybe it will be more popular.
In the final analysis, the life cycle of idol stars is very short, but it is different for powerful singers.
Just like Misora Hibari, she basically doesn’t attend various events now. She only releases a few records every year and her exposure is not high. But when the Japanese people talk about her, there is no one who doesn’t think she is the greatest. One of the singers.
And Miyuki Nakajima.
In terms of fame, Miyuki Nakajima is not as famous as Kyoko Koizumi, Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda.
But Miyuki Nakajima has long been considered a capable singer in the minds of the Japanese people. Compared with idol singers such as Kyoko Koizumi, Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda, she is actually no longer on the same track.
Of course, Miyuki Nakajima is a typical singer-songwriter. She is very particular about seeking innovation and change, so if nothing unexpected happens, she will soon enter a new stage of her singing career, which is commonly known as the "crazy period".
Although the so-called "crazy period" later proved to be an unsuccessful attempt, Miyuki Nakajima at least had the confidence and was not afraid of failure. After all, she had already been labeled as a capable singer.
On the contrary, people like Kyoko Koizumi are still far from being labeled as capable singers.
Among the three people, Nakamori Akina, Koizumi Kyoko and Matsuda Seiko, it seems that only one Nakamori Akina actually succeeded in transforming and was promoted to a powerful singer.
This also shows that Akina Nakamori has that ability, at least her unique voice is really a gift from God.
However, Akina Nakamori has not really found her position yet. She is still in a period of confusion and does not know what style is most suitable for her.
Therefore, Nakamori Akina also had a period of changing styles. In fact, like Nakajima Miyuki, this was an attempt to break through and position herself.
If you succeed in your attempt, you will reach a higher level and become a powerful singer. If you fail in your attempt, you will just disappear into the crowd.
Cao Zhiqiang knew about Nakamori Akina's subsequent development, so he could plan the role of Nakamori Akina in advance and tailor some hit songs for her.
To put it bluntly, whether a singer is good or not depends on the quality of his voice. The most important thing is whether he has good songs.
In other words, whether there are good works is the main criterion for measuring the quality of a singer.
In the same way, the same goes for actors. Whether you have good works or not is the most important indicator of whether you are a good actor.
And what about good works? With Cao Zhiqiang here, how could Akina Nakamori lack good works in the future?
On this day, after Cao Zhiqiang had just finished copying another Japanese novel, he stretched himself and walked out of his study.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Akina Nakamori wearing home clothes, sitting quietly at the dining table, pruning the branches of various flowers.
Well, actually this is what is called Japanese ikebana, which is flower arrangement.
Among Japanese housewives, ikebana, or flower arrangement, has always been popular. After all, it is a good way to pass the time and a channel for socializing.
Many Japanese girls will learn ikebana during their school days, and Akina Nakamori has obviously also learned this.
It's just that Akina Nakamori has been very busy with work, and she was very late and tired when she came home. She had no thought or mood to play ikebana.
On the contrary, after Akina Nakamori took a long leave to take care of Cao Zhiqiang, she started playing ikebana again.
How should I put it? In the past, Cao Zhiqiang thought that Japanese ikebana was just idle and sick, but after actually experiencing the art of ikebana, he felt that it was pretty good.
At least the flowers arranged by Nakamori Akina's hands are indeed beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
"Haha, are you arranging flowers again?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Akina Nakamori realized what she was doing. She quickly put down the flower scissors and branches, stood up gently and smiled, "Zhiqiang-san, are you tired from writing? Are your shoulders sore? Do you want me to give you a massage?"
"Haha, no, no, no, no." Cao Zhiqiang moved his arms, "I just finished writing a novel and went out to do some activities. I happened to see you arranging flowers, so I asked by the way."
"Ah, have you finished writing another one?" Akina Nakamori said slightly surprised, "What is it?"
"The book is called "Girl's Harbor."" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's a sexy girl."
"Lara style?" Akina Nakamori was stunned, "What does that mean?"
"That's not important." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "Anyway, it describes some kind of love between girls."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Nakamori Akina's eyes lit up and she became more interested, "Then I want to read it. Well, can I read it?"
"Haha, you can read it if you want." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "I wrote it just to publish it for others to see. If you want to read it, then just read it."
Akina Nakamori smiled: "That's it. I'll prepare something to drink for you first, and then I'll go and sort out the manuscript for you. By the way, what do you want to drink? Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee bar." Cao Zhiqiang said.
"Or oiran coffee without adding anything?" Akina Nakamori asked, "refrigerated coffee, or freshly ground coffee?"
"Well, let's freshly grind coffee." Cao Zhiqiang said, "At this time, drinking something hot is better for the stomach."
Akina Nakamori smiled and said: "Okay, wait a moment, I will prepare it for you."
"Okay, get busy." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'm going to use the toilet."
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang went directly to the toilet.
Just when Cao Zhiqiang went to the toilet and Nakamori Akina was happily preparing hand-grinded coffee, a doorbell suddenly sounded.
"Please wait!" Nakamori Akina quickly put down the coffee beans and said, "Here you go."
When Akina Nakamori went over to open the door, she found a strange young man carrying a briefcase and wearing a suit outside the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Akina Nakamori asked with a frown.
The strange young man was also stunned, then looked at Nakamori Akina and said suddenly: "You, you...ah, Akina-chan? Are you Nakamori Akina-chan?"
"Hi!" Akina Nakamori nodded, "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm your fan!" The young man immediately smiled and said, "I like your songs, especially the song "Second Love", oh, it's really nice. !”
Upon hearing what the other party said, Nakamori Akina smiled gently and bowed, and then said with a smile: "Well, thank you very much for your love, but I am in private time now, not working time, so I'm sorry, if you want to chase stars , I have to refuse you and can’t let you in, I’m really sorry.”
After saying that, Nakamori Akina bowed again and was about to close the door.
"Ah, wait!" The young man waved his hands one by one quickly, "No, I'm not here to chase stars, nor am I here to find you. I'm here to find Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Sang."
Then, the young man frowned and looked at the house number: "No, this is the address Cao Sang gave me. It's correct. How come you are here, Akina-chan? Did I make a mistake?"
Speaking of this, the young man in a suit scratched his head, his face full of confusion.
Upon hearing what the other party said, Nakamori Akina was stunned. Instead of closing the door, she asked carefully: "Are you looking for Cao Zhiqiang and Cao Sang?"
"Yes." The young man holding the briefcase nodded.
"Who are you?" Akina Nakamori asked again.
Upon hearing this, the man in the suit quickly said: "Ah, my name is Watanabe Yuno, I am the editor of Kodansha, and this is my business card!"
After saying that, the man in the suit quickly took out a box of business cards from his arms, hurriedly pulled out one, then put the business card box back into his arms, then held the business cards in both hands and handed them over respectfully.
Akina Nakamori took the business card and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the editor of Kodansha, so she asked: "Mr. Watanabe, why are you here looking for Chi-Chiang-san?"
Watanabe Yuno, who was wearing a suit, said: "That's right, Cao Zhiqiang-san came to our publishing house in person before and submitted a manuscript to me, hoping to publish a book with us.
After review by myself and our editor, we have decided to officially publish this book.
Now I am here to discuss specific publishing matters with Cao Zhiqiang Sang and formally sign a publishing contract with him. "
After a brief pause, Watanabe Yuno said suspiciously: "Well, Akina-san, from what you said, you seem to know Cao Zhiqiang-san?
Could it be that Cao Sang really lives here?
ah? Could it be said that Ming Caijiang and Cao Sang live together? "
Nakamori Akina bit her lip, then looked around to make sure there was no one else, then she nodded lightly and whispered: "Yes, that's right, we, we do live together."
"Ah!" Yuno Watanabe said with surprise on his face, "You, you, you actually live together?"
"Shh!" Nakamori Akina quickly raised her right index finger and made a silent gesture, "Mr. Watanabe, we have not made this matter public, so please keep it secret for us."
Watanabe Yuno was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Well, I'm not a bad person, and I came here just to meet Cao Zhiqiang-san, so don't worry, I will keep it a secret."
Immediately afterwards, Watanabe Yuno asked again: "So, Cao Zhiqiang, is he really here?"
Nakamori Akina nodded: "Yes, he is here."
Watanabe Yuno took a deep breath: "Then, can I visit Cao Zhiqiang-san now? This is a really important contract, please!"
Speaking of this, Watanabe Yuno bowed to Nakamori Akina.
Nakamori Akina smiled slightly: "That's right, Mr. Watanabe, since you are looking for Cao Sang, please come in."
After saying that, Akina Nakamori opened the door completely and let Yuno Watanabe in.
"Excuse me!" Yuno Watanabe bowed to Akina Nakamori again, and then walked into the door politely.
After entering the door, changing his shoes and walking into the living room wearing socks, Watanabe Yuno did not see Cao Zhiqiang.
Nakamori Akina asked him to sit down at the dining table first, and then said: "Sorry, Cao Sang just went to the bathroom. Please wait a moment. Well, I am making hand-ground coffee. Do you want a cup?"
"Yeah, thank you so much." Yuno Watanabe said with a smile, "No wonder I smelled a strong smell of coffee as soon as I came in. It turns out it's Akina-san who is making the coffee. Oh, Akina-san is such a good woman. , Cao Zhiqiang-sang is so lucky!"
Akina Nakamori smiled: "You complimented me, um, wait a moment, I'll prepare coffee for you right now."
Just when Akina Nakamori entered the kitchen and continued to make hand-ground coffee, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and then she saw Cao Zhiqiang, wearing only large pants and a small vest, wearing slippers, yawning and lazily walking out.
