Someone jumped off the building.

Shinichi Iwahashi came to his senses, remembered the Watanabe Manyumi beside him, and turned her head. She looked surprised, as if she was frightened, staring at the place where the incident happened in front of her.

The sky is spinning.

The neon lights were dazzling and stinging the eyes. The exclamations, screams, and noises were constantly pouring into the ears. In a moment, it made people unable to tell whether they were in reality or everything was just an illusion.

Suddenly, the neon light that stinged the eyes disappeared. She was pulled back from the hallucination with one hand.

Watanabe Manyumi finally got the opportunity to breathe and blinked.

"Is it okay? Misan Manyu." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her carefully.

Watanabe Manyumi looked at his concerned face and looked at him for a while. Shinichi Iwahashi didn't hide or ask, looking at her silently, waiting. She had an illusion that he stood up and built a wall between reality and illusion, blocking the stinging objects behind her.

Watanabe Manyumi's eyes slowly moved from his face to his shoulders near him. After realizing it, Shinichi Iwahashi placed his left hand on her arm.

...It's like dancing.

Such a nonsensical and inappropriate idea suddenly popped up in Manyumi Watanabe's mind.

She shook her head gently, "It's okay."

On a deep winter night, the night sky is unfathomable. The blue-gray full moon exudes a hint of ominousness. Of course, this ominous association is actually my own imagination.

Police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene, pulled up a cordon, and dispersed the onlookers. Whether it was a nouveau riche who stood on the roof to spend money or a frustrated person fell from the rooftop, there was never a shortage of spectators.

Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the car and paged Akihito Takenouchi and canceled the meeting tonight.

He witnessed an unfortunate incident with his own eyes, and looking at today's days, this person is very likely to have lost all his money in the stock market and has no way out.

A gamble that is overwhelming with your wealth and life is not only about losing without losing, losing all your money, going bankrupt, and giving up your identity to be a homeless man in order to avoid debt. It also has to face the huge gap from heaven to hell, and never turn over again in this life and lose hope from now on.

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would say that when I saw someone who died for this Black Friday, I would not be able to meet Akihito Takenonaki as if nothing had happened. I heard him talk about his boss and colleagues, how could I be glad that I got out of here early? How could I admire Shinichi Iwahashi's good vision?

He contacted Takenouchi Akihito on the car phone, and Watanabe Manyumi's side face was quiet and looked at his side face near him. Shinichi Iwahashi finished calling, turned his face and talked to her, "It's OK..." and said, "What is Manyumi's thinking?"

Watanabe Manyumi did not answer.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't ask, and discussed with her, "Where will be going next?"

"Send you home." He asked and answered.

Manyumi Watanabe made a mistake. Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "The address should have not changed yet, right? Didn't he say before that people from the real estate company lobbied you to take action." He may not be energizing the atmosphere.

"How can I take action on a house that I use for myself?" Watanabe Manyumi replied dryly, obviously not in her state.

Now, Shinichi Iwahashi will not talk much.

After receiving the address of Manyumi Watanabe, Mitsuji Iijima continued to return to the state of "not listening, not watching, not talking", and drove her car silently.

On this side, they came out of Roppongi, and on the other side, the road entering Roppongi was full of traffic.

It was not until she drove out of Roppongi that Watanabe Manyumi fully woke up and recovered. She suddenly mentioned, "Just now, I remembered what happened when I first danced with you."

"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi unexpectedly.

Watanabe Manyumi didn't look at his face. He couldn't help but smile as he listened to his tone, "Shinichik-kun is very good at dancing."

Shinichi Iwahashi said "Yeah" and said deliberately: "It's true that people often praise me like this."

"I really dare to say it." Wanyumi Watanabe laughed at him. But no matter what, she still recovered her spirits and could talk and laugh.

The stock market collapsed, and real estate was facing a crisis. On this day, in Japan, I don’t know how many people went crazy, how many people chose to escape, and how many people wanted to stand on the rooftop of the building and the platform of the tram.

What we witnessed today is the beginning of the era when the bubble bursts and burys the living as dead.

"Practitioners in the art world must take responsibility for the audience." Watanabe Manyumi suddenly said this.

Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking about what she said, and Wanyumi Watanabe smiled first, "...it sounds a bit hypocritical and self-righteous."

"That's not." Shinichi Iwahashi denied.

"The first thing is to find a way to make a profit, and to make money from the audience," said Watanabe Manyumi. "But, what to use to exchange money from the audience is another matter."

“For example?”

"When the economy is turbulent, people's hearts will be unstable. As practitioners in the art world, we should consider how to deal with and relieve this uneasiness. Whether healing the public or encouraging the public, it is just a place to settle the public's anxiety and resonating with the public in their works... there is too much to do."

And these are also opportunities to pay attention to. Next, some things are waiting to show their skills. It is precisely because there are too many things that can be done that we must be more responsible to the audience.

As Manyumi Watanabe said, ideas began to emerge in her mind.

But while saying this, she still remembered that she went to attend the reception tonight. On the way to go, Shinichi Iwahashi seemed to say casually, "If necessary, consider financing."

Both of them are ambitious.

But before the action, there are still areas that need unity and mutual understanding.

Shinichi Iwahashi casually mentioned, "If you want to drive a warehouse disco that can be enjoyed for one night, maybe you will have to make a profit."

The worse the so-called economy, the more cheap entertainment activities are.

"You don't plan to drive a disco, do you?" Watanabe Manyumi glanced at him.

Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "For us, it's not a good deal to drive a disco now. If you really want to say it, it's better to make a disco. Of course, we have to count on the band now."

Watanabe Manyumi said that he was speechless for a moment when he asked him to jump. He paused, "Anyway, deal with it first."

"I understand." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed, "I can't chew too much."

Watanabe Manyumi laughed at what he called him. Then she thought that the two of them had the same intentions in business and coincided with each other. They had similar visions and shared goals.

She finally relaxed completely and her mood slowly recovered throughout the night.

The car parked in front of the apartment where Manyumi Watanabe stayed.

Shinichi Iwahashi handed her bag over, "Get a good rest."

Wanyumi Watanabe raised her eyelids, and Shinichi Iwahashi's arm was right in front of her. She nodded and said softly: "Be careful on the road."

When I sent Wanyumi Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi was not interested in wandering around, so he ordered Mitoko Iijima to take him home. Perhaps the car was quiet and boring, and he joked casually, "I don't count what I told you just now."

It is about the fact that when I first arrived in Roppongi, Shinichi Iwahashi arranged for Mitoko Iijima to send Wanyumi Watanabe home and he took a taxi back by himself.

Mito Iijima responded calmly, "the plan did not change."

When Shinichi Iwahashi heard this, he laughed twice. He felt even more bored and stopped talking. When he was about to get home, the pager in his pocket suddenly rang.

Take it out and see, it’s Akina Nakamori.

When he returned home, Shinichi Iwahashi checked the phone and left a message, and there was also a message from Akina Nakamori. He called and called the pager, but he didn't know what important matter was. Shinichi Iwahashi was unsure and quickly called her back.

As a result, after the phone call was connected, the important thing that Nakamori Akina was concerned about was

"Have you bought stocks in Shenyi?"

Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help laughing when he heard her rash and rash problems.

...

Saturday and Sunday were spent without any trouble. But on the next Monday, early morning, the news broke the news that office workers committed suicide by jumping on tracks and shutting down the tram.

A small corner of Tokyo is in chaos and cannot affect other people's actions.

As the route was running as usual, as soon as the gate of the car opened, office workers still walked out without expression and were pushed across the zebra crossing by crowds.

Life has to be smooth, ordinary people are cut and bleed, and their knocked teeth have to be swallowed into their stomachs.

A weekend passed, and last week's "Black Friday" seemed to be swept into the garbage dump, and then walked into the company, sitting in the office, everyone seemed to be fine. They even talked about stocks during lunch breaks, as if there had never been anything like "Nike".

Only public sadness Friday is allowed one night.

On Monday, the sales list of the previous issue was passed to GENZO's office and sent to Shinichi Iwahashi's desk.

After the first week of the year, the project album counted 580,000 first-time numbers, and in the previous statistical cycle, nearly 200,000 copies were sold, but the popularity remained unabated.

Judging from this momentum, maybe this month ends, it will be able to hit millions. If you really want to sell over one million copies, that is the first million album this year.

On the other hand, the sales of singles of BoLAN have steadily declined, and during this period, about 60,000 were sold, with a cumulative sales of 270,000, continuing to break the record of their single sales. The new band, having such singles is enough for them to stay in the public memory for a while, and they will not forget the next work until the release.

The two major achievements obtained at the beginning of the year are still rising and have won a new sales list. GENZO staff are all full of energy and are just waiting to participate in this Friday celebration.

The company's booked celebration will be held at Prince Hotel in Akasaka, from singers who debuted and did not debut to staff, all the staff participated. At that time, not only will it be delicious, but there will also be a lottery game. The winner of the night will have a prize of one million yen. In addition, there are also various awards with a minimum of 20,000 yen, and there will be no empty prizes.

When the venue and program arrangement of the celebration were announced, the entire GENZO was filled with joy.

GENZO is up and down, no one will doubt that this company has a bright future.

In the morning, Shin Iwahashi was about to hold a meeting, and once again communicated with the team that was temporarily set up to prepare for Yude Jingzi's debut, and once again discussed her debut plan.

Yu De Jingzi's agency contract is in Xingchen Firm. If he wants to debut, he must nod his head and agree. However, the plan is decided and before he formally debuts, he must first discuss the comprehensive cooperation with Xingchen Firm.

I made my planned debut plan and sent a copy to Watanabe Manyumi. I had no time to meet, so I discussed it on the phone and agreed that Watanabe Manyumi would come forward to contact Xingchen Office. As long as the other party was interested, they would conduct cooperation negotiations.

Monday, full and busy.

Half of the first lunar month passed, I have been to almost all the receptions I have to attend, and the atmosphere related to the New Year has finally dissipated. It was rare that there was no social event that night, and Shinichi Iwahashi was not going out for fun, just waiting to get home from get off work.

As a result, before getting off work, another phone call from Akina Nakamori.

...

Office workers are busy on Mondays, but those who are artists may not be busy on one day or one day of leisure.
