143. Atami Walk Together(1/2)

“Boss?”

It was not on the inside phone in the office, but on a rest day night, I received a call from Wanyumi Watanabe, which surprised Shinichi Iwahashi.

After he called out like this, Watanabe Manyumi seemed to be hit by the other end of the phone.

After laughing, he asked him: "Isn't it a big deal to call you now?"

"No problem." Shinichi Iwahashi replied.

"Is there anything you have?"

Watanabe Manyumi said to him as if confirming: "Iwahashi San is on vacation tomorrow."

"Yes." A rare weekend off.

In 1987, after Japanese companies began to implement the double-break system one after another, the double-break system was officially written into the era of full implementation of the Labor Standards Law, which means that Japanese office workers who will reveal their true colors after the yellow soup is eaten can start slack from Friday night.

But even so, the black-clad men who worked behind the scenes still lived a very rare life even when they were single-off.

The treatment of arts and energy workers has not actually improved in this regard.

No matter how big or small the firm is, it is like a sweatshop. No matter whether it is kind enough to its artists, it is just to squeeze its employees. This is the case with the old Kansai evil forces like Yoshimoto Xingye. The staff of the amuse firm, which is famous for its artists, still have to be considered as none.

This comes from the special working nature of the Arts and Energy Industry. Since the personnel behind the scenes are parts on large machines, if they do not perform their own duties, the Arts and Energy Industry will have operational problems.

Wanyumi Watanabe also knew that this was a rare vacation, so she felt a little embarrassed to say the following words, "Does Iwahashi Sang have any arrangements tomorrow?"

This unintentional embarrassment made her seem less likely to be talking to her subordinates than to communicate with each other.

It was also because of this that Shinichi Iwahashi guessed that this was definitely not for business.

"That's not."

Shinichi Iwahashi answered truthfully, and then asked knowingly: "Do you have to work overtime tomorrow?"

"Actually, it's me who want to take up your private time." said Manyumi Watanabe. "There will be a reception in Atami tomorrow, and some industry insiders will also attend. If Iwahashi Sang has no arrangements, can he go with me?"

"I'll leave in the afternoon and come back that night. In addition, because I'm not very good at driving from a long distance, I might ask you to be a driver." Watanabe Manyumi said the general situation, "Is it OK?"

Although it was an itinerary outside of work, since he was arrested by the domineering president, he attended a reception attended by industry insiders, which was a good opportunity to expand his horizons. Moreover, the last time Misa Watanabe talked to him was over, and Manyumi Watanabe suddenly wanted to meet him in private, and maybe she had something to say to him.

Therefore, Shinichi Iwahashi agreed without hesitation.

...

After hanging up the phone, Watanabe Manumi was in a good mood.

It is just a matter of one sentence to ask your subordinates to attend social events. There are countless ordinary office workers who have to golf and play golf on weekends, let alone take their subordinates to attend the reception.

However, in his heart, Manyumi Watanabe may not regard Shinichi Iwahashi as an ordinary subordinate. Therefore, this is not just a temporary overtime work as an invitation to him.

When she was having a showdown with her mother, Watanabe Misa asked Watanabe Manyumi how she viewed Shinichi Iwahashi, and hoped that she could make a decision after she thought clearly about the answer to this question.

Because of this incident, Watanabe Manyumi was unable to mention this incident with Shinichi Iwahashi for a long time.

For a long time, Watanabe Manyumi believed that Shinichi Iwahashi was his capable leader and a like-minded person who was with her hero, and therefore, when she decided to be independent, she wanted to take him with her.

However, Misa Watanabe said, but she put down a choice she had never thought of before in front of her.

Is it okay if it was him on the way of life?

The option that Watanabe Misa suddenly gave has made Watanabe Manyumi hesitate until now and has been unable to show off with Shinichi Iwahashi.

When she worked with Shinichi Iwahashi, she never thought about what would happen with him. However, when Misa Watanabe gave this option, Manyumi Watanabe was suddenly pulled out by her mother's appreciation of Shinichi Iwahashi's treatment of subordinates and like-minded people, and instead looked at him from the perspective of the opposite sex.

Manyumi Watanabe believes that for men, Shinichi Iwahashi is undoubtedly a charming person. Especially his pure and enterprising side at work, he is just a beautiful man who is actually ineffective.

She admitted that she might have a certain favorable impression of Shinichi Iwahashi, but she has not yet surpassed her current appreciation.

On the road of career, if he could fight side by side with him, then Watanabe Manyumi would not hesitate. However, in a short time, Watanabe Manyumi could not confirm the answer to that question.

Is it okay if it was him on the way of life?

With this question in mind, Manyumi Watanabe made the phone call. She thought that even if it only took an hour, she would forget the relationship between superiors and subordinates at work, forget the independence in front of her, and spending it with Shinichi Iwahashi, might be able to touch the answer.

...

I moved into a new home and lived in a bed-like house as I wished. This night... Shinichi Iwahashi had insomnia because of choosing a seat.

I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, but was in a daze in the middle of the night. I was almost in the morning and finally fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning.

After dressing up, he went out to buy something to fill the refrigerator and eat something. In the afternoon, he met Manyumi Watanabe at the cafe where he made an appointment.

This is the first time I met the domineering president outside of work.

Because I was going to attend the reception, it was too formal, but Shinichi Iwahashi didn't have so many clothes to match, so he finally came out in a suit. When he met, Manyumi Watanabe was wearing a relatively formal formal outfit.

The two of them were dressed in this outfit, Shinichi Iwahashi thought, as if they were guests watching the wedding ceremony together.

After meeting, Watanabe Manyumi also realized that the two in formal clothes met on weekends, and not only laughed at their lack of experience, but also greeted him, "Thank you for your hard work, Iwahashi Sang. I want you to accompany me on your rest day."

"It's okay." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Besides, you're there."

Watanabe Manyumi smiled slightly, put the car keys on the table, and gently pushed him, "Then, I'll ask you."

Manyumi Watanabe's car is a white Mercedes-Benz.

In the parking lot, Shinichi Iwahashi opened the back seat door for her, and Manyumi Watanabe thanked him.

"Since you are a driver, just do a full set." Shinichi Iwahashi pretended to behave, "Besides, the more occasionally you do things, the more thoughtful you do."

Watanabe Manyumi was so happy to hear this high-profile quotation.

The car drove onto the highway and headed towards its destination.

The two of them sat in the car together. Watanabe Manyumi looked at the scenery passing by the window. When she saw the signpost, she suddenly said: "I remember that Iwahashi Sang is from Shizuoka."

"Yes."

Atami belongs to Shizuoka Prefecture. Although it is far away from Shizuoka City, Iwahashi Shizuoka City, the hometown of Shizuoka City, for Shizuoka Shizuoka, if Manyumi Watanabe had not mentioned this, he wouldn't have realized it.

"Iwahashi Sang went to Beijing after graduating from high school?"

"Because I don't know what to do, I thought, let's go to Tokyo first." Shinichi Iwahashi replied.

Watanabe Manyumi thought to herself after hearing this, "It's so good."

"very nice?"

"Well, when I don't know what to do, I ran from my hometown to Tokyo. It is a very happy thing to have such a target place." said Manyumi Watanabe. "I was born in Tokyo, but I couldn't experience this kind of happiness."

When Shinichi Iwahashi heard this, he smiled and said, "Wouldn't that be better? The opportunity is at your feet. I am also envious of such a life, and I want to live through it."

Wanyumi Watanabe laughed, "That's what I can't have, it's the most enviable thing I can't have."

This is a big truth.

The two chatted together, but from the beginning to the end, Watanabe Manyumi did not mention any independence along the way. Although Shinichi Iwahashi had a great chat with her, he couldn't help but think, could it be that he had made a mistake in his judgment?

The mountain road has become winding, and I almost reached the place name Izu. Because of "Izu's Dancer", Shinichi Iwahashi's ears are not unfamiliar with Shinichi Iwahashi.

Atami is located in the eastern part of the Izu Peninsula. Facing Sagami Bay, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a destination for tourism and rest.

In February, when the Kanto region was still cold, Atami's early cherry blossoms had already bloomed for a long time. Ye Zhao, a reborn guest, had no special feelings for the cherry blossoms in Japan. When the Sakura Front came to the Kanto region, he had no idea when he saw the cherry blossoms outside Shibuya Station when he was on the tram.

However, when people are in Atami, when they see the fallen cherry blossoms on both sides of the river, they think that this is a place that does not snow all year round. When the cherry blossom season comes, the petals wither, it is like snowing. Once you think about it like this, I unexpectedly feel that the cherry blossoms on both sides of the river are beautiful.

The car drove into the courtyard and parked in the passenger parking lot. Watanabe Manmi and Iwahashi Shinichi were led by the entertainers and walked up the corridor. A grand Western-style building appeared in front of him.

Someone was greeting me at the entrance, and Shinichi Iwahashi followed Manyumi Watanabe, and many people had gathered inside.

This is the wife of President Yoyoshi Amuse, Orihiri Hiroko, and this is the NPO's officer... Manyumi Watanabe is easy to deal with among all industry insiders, and it seems that she often attends such occasions.

During this period, she did not forget to introduce Shinichi Iwahashi to these people.

"This is the Rock Bridge in the first production department."

"Shichiko Iwahashi?" Oriri Hirohiko responded to the name. Amuse cooperated with Watanabe Production for a long time because of his plan. Therefore, this name is very familiar to the ears of the Dari couple.

Oriri Kurenko seemed to be very interested in him. After Watanabe Manyumi introduced her, she also praised Shinichi Iwahashi, "The planning of the music festival is very exciting."

"Thank you very much." Shinichi Iwahashi responded.

There are people from all walks of life in this venue, and there are also some young and beautiful girls who are invited to be responsible for the entertainment and liven up the atmosphere.

While we were greeting, a young man who was similar to Watanabe Manyumi came from behind, "Senior Manyumi"

"Nozaki-kun?" When Manyumi Watanabe saw the young man, she smiled politely.

"Long time no see, Senior Manyumi."

After saying hello, before waiting for the introduction of Watanabe Manyumi, the young man took the lead in asking: "Who is this?"

"It's the office employee, Iwahashi Sang." Manyumi Watanabe introduced, and introduced the young man to Shinichi Iwahashi, "This is Nozaki Kan, the son of the president of Kenyin Firm."

Yes, he's still a big shot.

Kenichiro Nozaki looked at Shinichi Iwahashi with some curiosity. He was a handsome young man. "San Iwahashi? Could it be that Shinichi Iwahashi who planned the previous one?"

"That's right." Watanabe Manyumi replied for him.

The expression on Kenichiro Nozaki's face became much more affectionate, "I like that music festival very much. I am so happy to see Iwahashi Sang himself today."

After parting with Kenichiro Nozaki, Watanabe Manyumi told Shinichi Iwahashi outside and led him out through the back door, while saying to him: "Iwahashi San, you are now famous in the industry."
