Ueno Takahiro did not expect that Kitagawa would bring a girl to participate in the conversation between the two. Fortunately, Kitagawa quickly explained.

It turned out that this girl had signed up for the Keyakizaka recruitment event. Kitagawa was very optimistic about her during the written review stage, and he liked her even more after the interview. Before the final selection process, he called her home according to the phone number on the information. Only after asking the result, he found out,

The other party signed up without telling his parents. When he heard about it, he refused to participate in the idol selection event on the spot.

Kitagawa made several calls, and this time he even went directly to the other party’s hometown, Nagasaki Prefecture, to serve as a lobbyist. The person in charge of the project valued his daughter so much, and Nagahama’s father was also a little proud. With Kitagawa’s repeated assurances,

Then he relaxed and agreed with his daughter's idea of ​​becoming an idol.

Kitagawa struck while the iron was hot, took out the contract and signed it on the spot. He even brought Nagahama to Tokyo a few days earlier and lived in a dormitory prepared later. Asano didn't know about this, and the meeting time was set and it was difficult to change. Kitagawa accepted

When I returned to Nagahama, I just came over to see Takahiro Ueno, and I didn't bother to make another trip to send Nagahama to the dormitory first.

"Ah, I'm sorry, one cup of hand brew, one cup... Changbin, what are you drinking? Don't say you won't drink."

After explaining the reason, Beichuan called the waiter to prepare the order.

"Then... let's have cappuccino." Changbin said softly.

"Do all the girls like to drink this these days?" Beichuan muttered in a low voice and ordered another French caramel donut and poached egg salad toast.

"It would be better to have something to eat. I was in a hurry when I came here with an empty stomach." Kitagawa said to Changbin.

Changbin pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "Sorry to trouble you, Kitagawa-san."

Kitagawa smiled and said to Ueno Takahiro opposite, "This kid is very polite, he likes reading and has good grades. He has also participated in the national knowledge competition for high school students. The application form is written like a resume. The most important thing is that he has a long history.

Very cute.”

Ueno Takahiro nodded and said with a smile, "That's true, but if our two uncles say this, people won't be happy."

Changbin was a little distressed and a little shy. She raised her hand to do something but quickly put it down. This was her bad habit. She would subconsciously hold her head when she was shy.

Soon, coffee and dessert snacks were served. Changbin took a bite of the donut. The icing was thick and very sweet.

"Listen to Asano, Ueno-san, you are not very interested in the choreography of Keyakizaka46," Kitagawa put down the cup, "Why did you agree to meet with me today?"

Changbin, who was sitting aside, licked the sugar powder from the corner of his mouth, lowered his eyes, but his eyelashes trembled, and he vaguely felt that these were not what he should hear.

If I had known better, I would have told Kitagawa-san that I would go to a nearby bookstore and wait. She felt a little bit tortured.

Ueno Takahiro knew that he was about to get to the point and sat upright.

"It's not that I'm not interested. As for the job, I will take it seriously as long as I take it. It's just that choreographing for idols is not that attractive." He laughed.

"A meaning."

Ueno Takahiro spread his hands, "Actually, I'm more interested in you, Kitagawa-san."

There was a "crash" sound, and the female Communist Party member who passed by the two men almost fell down, and some of the coffee in her plate spilled out.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry." The little girl blushed and apologized to the guests around her.

Changbin took a sip of coffee and thought that she must have misunderstood.

The two principals didn't pay much attention to this surprise.

“My first dance teacher was Mr. Kitahara from Shunzo Dance Studio.” Takahiro Ueno said, “At that time, the dance studio had many collaborations with Sony Music, including choreography for concerts, dance creation of new songs, etc. I was fortunate enough to participate in several dances.

of arrangement.

"At that time, Sony Music mentioned Kitagawa-san's name. They were all very important people. They had very good personal relationships with celebrities from all walks of life. Sony Music also had internal holdings. There were even rumors that you were a member of an organization and you were extremely powerful.

It's not easy for the current president to give you arbitrary orders.

"Later, in 2005, Sony's top management changed, and you were sent to China to take charge of related affairs. I searched through the Internet and found out that Kitagawa-san has signed many well-known singers in China, which is a great prospect. I am very interested in why you did this.

Come back to Japan and take charge of such a small idol group."

Sensing Changbin's gaze, Ueno Takahiro smiled at her. Changbin quickly lowered his head and stuck out his tongue. He was discovered.

Although she knew that it was better not to know about this kind of thing, Kitagawa was able to bring her here, and he didn't stop Ueno Takahiro from speaking. It should be that he didn't care about the past. Or he didn't care.

But Changbin was still confused.

Senior? Expatriate? It just seemed like a term that only appeared in business war movies.

——

In the car that Kitagawa sent Nagahama to the dormitory apartment, Nagabin was still panicking. He always felt that he had heard something terrible as soon as he arrived in Tokyo. In comparison, Nagasaki's friends were discussing a certain girl from a certain class and a certain girl.

Something as insignificant as dating a boy should be more cordial and warm.

While driving, Kitagawa talked to Changbin, who was sitting in the back seat, about some precautions.

"This time I have opened a dormitory for you in advance. If you have any questions, you can ask me or contact Asano. Asano will serve as your general agent in the future. By the way, do you have my and Asano's business cards?"

"Um."

"That's good. I brought my luggage, but if there's anything missing or you need anything, just say it. There's no need to hide it. It will only be more troublesome if something goes wrong later."

Changbin carefully observed Beichuan in the rearview mirror, but accidentally caught Beichuan's gaze. The girl quickly turned her head and looked out the window, pretending that nothing happened.

Beichuan smiled, "What's wrong?"

"……nothing."

Changbin just thought it was amazing. The contract was also signed. Logically speaking, Kitagawa should be her immediate boss, but the tone of this person's words did not sound like someone in a high position. Of course, Changbin also

She had never met any big shot. She could only compare him to the dean of Beichuan and Nagasaki schools who often lectured people with a straight face.

For a long time, she thought that most of the big shots with regulatory power had common characteristics, including cold faces, rigidity, and bald heads.

Beichuan does not occupy these three points.

"Are you interested in my past?" Kitagawa suddenly asked, "Ah, by the way, the man just now is called Ueno Takahiro, a world-class dancer, and will be Keyakizaka's exclusive choreographer in the future."

That's right. In the end, Ueno Takahiro accepted Kitagawa's invitation. Even aside from his confusing statement about his interest in Kitagawa, the conditions offered by Kitagawa were generous enough. A high salary, and absolute autonomy in choreography.

.

Changbin tilted her head and raised her hand to touch her head, showing that she was a little troubled. Whether she said she was interested or not interested, it seemed a bit rude. So she took the initiative to change the topic.
