Backstreets of Ginza in Tokyo

Together with Mount Fuji and Kyoto, Tokyo Ginza is one of the three major symbols of Japan.In this small area, there are eight towns before and after, that is, eight streets.

The most famous feature of this area is 'shopping'-in fact, since the influx of Western civilization into Japan, this area has become the most Westernized area in Japan and a symbol of fashion as a foreigner's settlement.In the nineteenth century, it already had a very high status.

Today, it is a bustling shopping street comparable to the Champs Elysees in France and Fifth Avenue in the United States.

In addition to shopping, it also has the functions of catering and entertainment. There are cinemas, galleries, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. in the building. There are thousands of such stores, large and small.

If Kabukicho symbolizes the grotesqueness of common people's culture, then some of the high-end nightclubs in Ginza are sensual dogs and horses belonging to the rich.

Of course, it's not just as simple as sensual dogs and horses.In fact, this is just a part of Japanese communication culture, and there must always be a place for social communication in social communication.It's hard to say that a company's victory party, or a big family's year-end party will be very 'high energy'.

Anna took Ryo Taya's hand and entered the hall. This is a dance hall in Ginza. It was booked out by Kiin today, and there is a year-end party here-forget the troubles of the past year, and what remains is happiness.

It was Yi Jiao who was waiting at the door, seeing Anna and Taya Ryo, immediately came over: "He Gu said that you are coming soon!"

When she saw Anna, she was stunned: "Today is very beautiful... Anna."

"Hey!" Anna smiled, her eyebrows curved, and her lips pursed: "I think boys are more handsome-no, no, you can't call boys, especially you, Yijiao, you are already an adult!"

Anna wore a little black dress—it was cold, of course, so a rich fur shawl was thrown over it.He stomped his feet: "It's so cold, go in first."

Her hair was pulled into a delicate bun, and she was wearing beautiful makeup... Time passed quickly. In the past year, Anna has been promoted from high school to the university at the headquarters of Yingtou Academy, officially turning from a high school student to a college student.According to her age, she has also passed, plus she became a social person early, and many things about dressing up are becoming more and more different from those of little girls.

"Look who's coming!" Lu Yuan saw Anna and Ta Yaliang from a long distance: "It's our Liu Qisheng and Ta Ya Tianyuan! Come here, come here."

The past few years have seen great changes in the Japanese Go world, and the younger generation has completely exploded.Needless to say Anna, Taya Ryo and Kondo Hikaru also won titles and became the leaders of the new generation.

Anna has the two major championships of Chess Master and Honinbo, and has performed very well in the international arena. Even if there is prejudice against her age and gender, the industry must admit that they have ushered in the youngest king in history—Go It's good that this world is just that, no matter how old-fashioned it is, winning means everything.

Although becoming the actual No.1, but because Anna is really too young, so the prestige is not enough.Usually, people rarely mention this point. At this time, Lu Yuan specifically named her the title of the No.1 chess master in the Go world, which was actually a bit of a joke.

Anna stepped on her high-heeled shoes and ran over with a 'da da da', making a gesture to hit him: "Ah! Brother Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan, what a blessing to have such a cute junior sister!" "That's right! Speaking of which, that fellow Lu Yuan didn't do it on purpose, did he? To attract Liu Qisheng's attention or something." "I also think that's right. !"...

A group of people are all very well-connected, and the ridicule is not false at all.

The atmosphere of a small group of people is quite good, but because it is an official year-end party, generally speaking, it is still not completely let go.When the year-end party is over, Awara—yes, it’s this guy again, this guy’s age is very delicate, he seems a little younger than Ogata Seiji’s generation, but he’s too old to be with Anna and the new generation. A little bigger.

Probably because he didn't want to be a junior and be ordered around, so he has been hanging around among Anna and the group.

He raised his hand as a matter of course: "Of course you can't go back! At this time, you should continue to get excited! Let's go, let's go to the stall! Hmm, Xiao Liang and Kondo Hikaru are not old enough to enter the bar, so go KTV is ready."

As he spoke, he drove everyone up like a shepherd dog chasing lambs.Anna also laughed, because the heels of today's high-heeled shoes were a little higher, and she supported Ta Yaliang to stand up, smiling all over her face: "What, do you want to renew the stall? It's already very late today!"

Even though he said that, he didn't really mean to refuse.So a group of people walked to the entrance of the dance hall, the cold air immediately invaded, and the feeling of warmth in the room disappeared immediately. Even though Anna's body was getting warmer in winter and cooler in summer, she couldn't bear it, so she shivered: "Hurry up, hurry up, It's really cold!"

Just as I was talking, the phone rang: "Moses, eh? Are you meeting today? It's not impossible... As I said before, the year-end party at the Chess Academy, and now some of our friends are going to KTV to renew the booth... Uh-huh, you Come pick me up, wait, I'll wait for you in an Italian coffee shop at the intersection of Sanchome."

Taya Ryo, who had been paying attention to Anna, looked over, and Anna could only spread her hands: "I can't help it, I can't go to KTV."

Watching Anna enter the warm coffee shop, Ashihara winked at Ryo Taya: "Anna's Bishi?"

Bishi means boyfriend. It is rumored that Anna has a rich second-generation girlfriend, but not many people have actually met it. It seems that only Ta Yaliang has actually seen it.Taya nodded, and glanced at the huge floor-to-ceiling glass of the coffee shop. Anna was already sitting by the window and waved to them.

"Then there's no other way, after all, he's a boyfriend!" Lu Yuan sighed for a moment, and he hated iron for being weak: "Ah! You worthless boys, the flowers of our chess academy were picked up by outsiders just like that. It's really useless!"

There has always been a tradition of internal consumption in the Go world, and Lu Yuan's emotion is not without reason.

Atobe also left the venue at this time, and told the secretary: "Leave for about half an hour, you can deal with it."

Originally, I just asked Anna if the year-end party was over, and wanted to meet up after it was over.I didn't expect the year-end party at the Chess Academy to end so quickly. Should it be the chess players who are not used to night life?

But knowing that Anna was in Ginza made him change his mind—they were also in Ginza.

Ginza is indeed not big, no matter how many people there are, it is the same, just a few streets.Walking through the market familiarly, the Italian coffee shop at the intersection is brightly lit, and at a glance, Anna is sitting behind the window drinking coffee and reading magazines.

The night view of Ginza has always been well-known. This kind of light scattered and staggered at night can easily make people feel lonely, indifferent, alienated, and strangely warm.

Anna is in it at this time, as if Ginza has been visualized, and the feeling of temperament is exactly the same.It was at this time that Keigo Atobe would remember vaguely... This girl is really a god!

Atobe Keigo glanced up and down at Anna's outfit, touched her hand: "Dress like this?"

Realizing that the relationship between holding the coffee cup was hot, she touched Anna's face, and Anna immediately avoided it: "You can't touch your face, it's covered with makeup!"

Atobe Keigo didn't realize it for a while, because Anna almost didn't wear makeup unless it was a ceremonial occasion required by the Japanese, so he didn't have enough experience in this area.It was only after Anna said this that she remembered that cosmetics are layer after layer of powder, even if it is high-end, it cannot be touched randomly.

But it doesn't matter if you don't touch your face. Keigo Atobe took off the black woolen coat outside the suit and wrapped Anna up: "Let's go, go to my previous reception first, it won't be long... …find a chance to leave earlier.”

Only then did Anna feel that she had been fooled, and she left the coffee shop holding Keigo Atobe's hand: "What! I thought Senior Atobe was over with you, and you should pick me up! If so, it's better than before Go to KTV with friends."

Those social occasions at Keigo Atobe’s side can hardly be considered interesting, especially for people like Anna who are not interested in Vanity Fair... The only fun left is probably watching the gossip of wealthy and famous people. It's not the same as in the eyes of the public!

However, it's hard to say how interesting this kind of gossip is, it's just idle and boring.

I don't know the name of the reception, but since it was attended by Keigo Atobe, I think I know who it is, probably shareholders or senior management of large companies.In fact, this is also the case. As soon as Keigo Atobe and Anna came in, many people were already saying hello, and they were all familiar faces.

The secretary stepped forward to tell him who had something to say to him during this period of time. While listening to him, Atobe helped Anna take off the coat. The coat accidentally caught the brooch on Anna's evening dress.Let Anna help the coat, and he unbuttoned it carefully.The slender fingers flexibly hooked a few times and it was done. Of course, Keigo Atobe didn't notice the strange look in the secretary's eyes.

The secretary's name is Chizuru, who was recently transferred to Keigo Atobe as a secretary.As for the original secretary, Sasaki, who was gilded by the prince's side, he has already been transferred to a very important department as the section chief. If he wants to be the prince's direct line, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, the road to promotion will go very smoothly.

Chizuru's own resume is also very perfect, a student at Tokyo University, and has experience as an exchange student at an American university.After graduation, he joined the Japanese part of the Atobe Foundation and performed very well in the past two years.Then one day, without any preparation, the chief of their department told him directly that he could pack up his things and go to the prince's side to be a secretary.

All the colleagues came to congratulate him, and even some people of the same status began to curry favor with him.

Japan is a country that the upper and lower classes value very much. The lower class flatters the superior, and it is not even derogatory.And Qianhe, who is about to become the prince's secretary, has a bright future in everyone's eyes. Even if he is not superior to them at this time, he will be soon.

This is like some close servants around the ancient Chinese emperors, it seems that the grade is not high.But after completing the gold plating by the emperor's side, after becoming the emperor's confidant, he will be sent to the local government as a high official, and then the central and local officials, whether it is a central executive or a feudal official, will always have a bright future.

When I handed over work to Sasaki-senpai, it was probably to sell Chizuru, the current secretary.Sasaki unreservedly taught a lot of work experience, including some habits and taboos of Keigo Atobe himself.One of them is very important - write down a girl's schedule, so that whenever the prince wants to meet the girl, he can arrange it as soon as possible.

"Eh? Girl?" Qianhe was surprised because he had never heard of the crown prince having a fiancée.

"It's my girlfriend! The girlfriend of Director Atobe, Ms. Anna."

At first Qianhe didn't think much about it, it was just a girlfriend, don't say that it is normal for the prince's age to have a girl he likes as a girlfriend.Even if the crown prince is already married, it's nothing if he has a regular lover and needs to be arranged by the secretary!

But when I really got in touch with it gradually, I realized that there were too many unexpected things.

The girl could tell that she came from a good background and was not short of money at all.But as far as Qianhe knew, the other party was not from a wealthy family at all, and compared to Keigo Atobe's level, it was indeed far behind.So at first I thought it was just the love of teenagers and girls, the kind that would not be together after this time.

On the one hand, there is no certainty between teenagers and girls, and on the other hand, there is a gap between families.

But the more he got in touch with, the more he doubted his initial judgment... Will it really be like that?

The prince, who was born to inherit the huge business territory of the entire family, is also the smartest, most outstanding, tough and stable young man, and he has matured early.But when he looked at that girl, he was often not so far away - just like an ordinary man.

Of course he will fall in love with a girl, and that girl will even make him less rational... This is not surprising for boys in the period of love.However, as far as Qianzuru knew from Senior Sasaki, the two had known each other for five years, and they had been dating for more than two years.

The love period is really long.

The most important thing is that Chizuru saw the way Atobe Keigo looked at the girl...he loved her and was devout.

It's not that the children of wealthy families live extravagantly and dissolutely, but because of the power of money, they have experienced more than children from ordinary families since they were young. This is true.It is more difficult to let them fall completely, and the factors that make them shake are all too easy to come.

So, it is not easy to see their 'loyalty', but 'pious'?Qianhe has only seen this kind of look on his grandmother and his grandfather, and his grandmother has indeed loved his grandfather all his life.

Atobe took off his coat, handed it to the waiter next to him, and asked Anna in a low voice: "Go with Master Ben?"

Anna lowered her head: "No."

Anna is not very interested in these superficial interactions. If it is arranged by the Chess Academy, there is no way.The current situation can be avoided, and of course she will not catch up.

Of course Keigo Atobe knew this, and nodded to Chizuru: "Be with Anna."

Anna is not a child, so logically speaking, she doesn't need to be accompanied by anyone.But today's venue is a bit complicated, and there are many people who are not usually in the same circle.Atobe Keigo actually arranged for Qianzuru to escort Anna to prevent any accidents.

In the corner of the reception, Anna and Qianzuru sat opposite each other, and a waiter brought drinks.No need to ask, Chizuru, who already knew Anna, asked the waiter to bring a cup of green tea. Although the waiter felt strange that the guests at the reception did not drink alcohol and drink tea, but the guests are gods, this is a small request Of course I will do my best.

There are several rows of sofas scattered in the corner, which were originally empty.When Anna and Qianzuru sat down here, after a while, several men sat down next to each other. The older ones were around 60 or 40 years old, and the younger ones were around [-] years old. It can be seen that they are all "successful" in the social sense people', except that Anna really didn't know them.

Qianhe reminded in a low voice: "It's Dentsu man."

There are many hills in the Japanese entertainment industry, but when it comes to being able to cover the sky with one hand, of course it is Dentsu.Dentsu's middle and high-level executives are known as "Dentsu man" in the entertainment industry. Dentsu man is not only rich, but more importantly, he has many resources coveted by people in the entertainment industry.

Not 100% of the female artists in the entertainment circle, but 80.00% have thought about getting involved with Dentsu man.Not to mention marrying a Dentsu man, she has since become a winning group in life.It's also good to be a regular lover, or even a dewy couple.Because these people are so generous, even a 'breakup fee' must be something they dream of but can't get, and it's worth fighting for.

Anna didn't know about this. All she knew was that the Dentsu man was Dentsu's middle and high-level executives. It was fine for her to know, and she didn't pay any more attention.What really caught her attention was the few girls who came over...someone she knew.

It's impossible to say how familiar they are... But Anna and the other party filmed an advertisement together. They are the six-member idol group 'Star Girls' who has been very popular recently.

There are many types of idols in Japan. The bottom-level photo idols are just like flat models, while the "Star Girls Group" belongs to the better idols, the orthodox idols, and the most familiar idols in the conventional sense.

It's just that this is better, which is relatively speaking. Idols have a very low status in the entire artist ecology.Unless it is transformed into an actor, host and the like.Otherwise, even if it reaches the top and becomes the memory of the times, it still has little right to speak in the industry.

Anna remembers clearly when she was filming the commercial. The people in the advertising company would not say anything about her mistakes, but kept encouraging her.It was different for the Star Girls group. Although there was no bullying on the set, it was indeed cold-eyed, and the girls also apologized solemnly and repeatedly.

The one who brought the Star Girls was their manager, and brought the girls across to several 'Dentsu men': "This is Mr. Hatoyama, Mr. Fujiwara, Mr. Ishida, and Mr. Sakamoto."

Said this and bowed to introduce the girls to the big guys. The whole conversation didn't take long. In fact, it was just to explain that I happened to be eating next door.I saw a few big guys coming here, so I brought the girls over to say hello.

Although there are many people in this venue who are richer than these Dentsu men, the manager has a very sharp eye when he sees these big guys at a glance.

To be honest, this scene is really easy to think of "pimping" behavior, but unexpectedly nothing strange happened.It was just a greeting—until Anna saw that those Dentsu men actually gave money to the Star Girls Group!

Gave money...money? !

Anna didn't dare to look around anymore, for fear that she might see some 'secret deal' that the industry could not reveal.

Seeing Anna's reaction, Qianhe thought it was very funny, and burst out laughing with a 'puchi'.The professional elite who has been acting very serious cleared his throat and explained in a low voice: "This is a common practice, does the wine reward know? Ask idol stars to accompany the wine with compensation, and pay a certain 'traffic fee' according to the other party's fame. But this This time, I probably didn’t invite you here for a drink, so even if it’s a famous idol, they won’t have a lot of money, maybe thirty to fifty thousand.”

To be honest, the longer she stayed in Japan, the less Anna felt she knew about this country.They seem to be secretive about many things, but at the same time they are so open about many things that Anna doesn't know whether they are conservative or open.

Such similar transactions are very common in the entertainment circles of various countries... Even in China, the entertainment circles have gradually developed in recent years, and there are many things that are not humane.

But only in Japan, this kind of thing can be made into an industrial chain as a whole, and a series of conventions and rules can be extended very carefully.

It seemed that after greeting the Dentsu man, the manager stood up with the girl, and he didn't know whether he planned to visit other big men or just go back.

"Eh? Is that Luanna chess player?" Miyuki, the youngest member of the Star Girls group, pointed at Anna to the captain next to her.

Seeing them seeing her, Anna held onto the skirt of her clothes and nodded slightly.

They were just acquaintances with a nod at first, so it's fine to say hello like this.The girls felt relieved when they followed their managers out of the reception. The reception was full of bosses, and they were more or less nervous, mainly because they were afraid of offending someone they couldn't offend.

Back at the place where she had dinner, Miyuki asked curiously, "I didn't expect to meet Chess player Liu Anna... By the way, will you invite a chess player on this occasion?"

A member who was touching up his makeup blinked his eyes at the small makeup mirror: "Maybe it's similar to us?"

Meixue was taken aback: "No way? Chess player Liu Anna is not from the entertainment industry."

Member 'Pa Da' closed the makeup mirror: "You can't say that, she also shoots commercials and photo albums... There are many public figures who cross borders. She is so beautiful, so she can do whatever she wants."

Miyuki still thinks it's impossible: "No need, didn't you disclose your income before? The prize money for the Go title match and international competitions alone is almost [-] million yen per year. Adding other income... more than [-] million yen. Most artists!"
