Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 217 Encounter [4K2]

"Honestly, you are the most special young person I have ever met in my career."

Matsushima Rie put down the gel pen in her hand, closed the notebook, and looked at Watanabe Yu with admiration.

As far as this interview is concerned, his calm demeanor, in which he spoke eloquently but knew what to say and what not to say, really left a deep impression on her.

At one point she even felt as if she was not interviewing a young singer but an experienced and mature middle-aged singer who had been in the industry for a long time and had seen many ups and downs.

This also made her even more curious about Jay.

"Aunt Songdao, you are too kind. It's just a little clever."

Watanabe Yu lowered his head humbly.

He always knows when to be assertive and when to remain humble.

"Don't say these polite words." Matsushima Rie gave him a reproachful look, and then changed the subject, "So, as of now, do you still have any new songs in reserve? Or have they been exhausted?"

She has been interested in this question for a long time.

As a professional music critic, she knows very well that a good song requires a long period of polishing.

It is rare to see someone like Jay who would easily release several songs.

In other words, there is only one possibility to achieve this level.

These songs were the result of his accumulation in his early years, and then the opportunity came again, so he was able to produce these songs so quickly.

"Is this a private interview? Or is it..."

Watanabe Yu did not rush to answer, but first gave Matsushima Rie an inquiring look.

"You, ah."

Matsushima Rie shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, then turned around and gave Hayakawa Yuki a slightly helpless look.

Watanabe Yu is good in everything except that he is too wary when facing the media.

Of course, in the long run, such vigilance is not a bad thing.

After all, some journalists will indeed try every possible means to set traps and lure public figures into saying ambiguous words in order to gain attention and ratings.

"Don't worry about it, Aunt Li Hui. That's just his personality."

Yuki Hayakawa quickly came out to smooth things over.

However, although she said so, her body quietly moved closer to Watanabe Yu, and her favoritism was quite obvious.

"Relax, the interview is over, and now it's just small talk."

Matsushima Rie calmly withdrew her gaze and pretended not to see anything as she began to explain.

Now, she could probably understand Hayakawa Naoko's feelings a little bit.

When it comes to Jay's affairs, this girl is not just leaning against the outside, she is directly standing on the sidelines...well, at the moment, it seems that she is the outsider.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said, Aunt Songdao. There should be some 'inventory' left."

Hearing this, Watanabe Yu felt relieved and gave an ambiguous answer.

With the help of [Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Memory (Advanced)], he can remember the melody and lyrics of any song he has heard once.

In other words, as long as the music library in his mind has not been emptied, he can always come up with songs.

"Then I'm relieved."

Matsushima Rie breathed a sigh of relief.

She was very afraid that Watanabe Yu would say something like he had run out of ideas.

After all, many talented singers have said such things.

"We are just getting started."

Yuki Hayakawa blinked and said this half-jokingly and half-seriously.

She had considerable confidence in him.

"That's right, we're just getting started."

Hearing this, Matsushima Rie smiled and nodded.

Now, she was sure that her initial judgment was correct.

——As long as he can stay active and maintain the creation of three to five songs a year, by the time he goes to college, he will definitely become a leading figure of the younger generation in the music scene.

There won’t even be one.

If you want to compete with Jay, you should at least produce a sufficient number of works, right?

Moreover, this work cannot be matched by just the number, the quality must also be reached.

On this basis, an additional condition must be met, that is, there must be a song that can be called a "classic".

Otherwise, the song "First Love" alone is enough to win you over.

Hmm...if you think about it this way.

She has begun to sympathize with singers of the same generation as Jay.

With such a singer walking in front, the brilliance he exudes is enough to overshadow everyone else.

No matter how outstanding you are, you will be suppressed by him.

This is also the most frustrating point. When no matter how hard you try, you can't surpass it, or take a step back and get closer to that person, negative emotions will undoubtedly engulf you.

"It's almost time."

Matsushima Rie raised her wrist and glanced at the time on her ladies' watch.

It's already 11:45, and in another 15 minutes, it will be time for most people to eat.

At the same time, it was time for her to fulfill her promise.

She raised her eyebrows, looked at Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki, and said naturally, "How about having lunch together? I know a very good restaurant."

"What do you think?"

yes!

Yuki Hayakawa clenched her fists in her heart, but her face remained calm as always. She turned her head and looked at Yu Watanabe, asking for the latter's opinion.

"It's fine on my end."

Watanabe Yu gave the answer without thinking.

He hadn't planned to go back for lunch this afternoon.

Even if Matsushima Rie in front of him didn't mention it, he would have taken the initiative to bring it up.

"Then that's okay with me."

Yuki Hayakawa withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Rie Matsushima.

Throughout the whole process, her expression was flawless.

"Ok, let me pack up, then we'll set off."

Matsushima Rie nodded, exchanged a calm glance with Yuki, and then packed up her things.

After putting away everything that needed to be put away, she unwrapped her briefcase and stood up.

"Let's go."

She looked at the two of them and greeted them.

*
After coming out of the cafe, Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki got into Matsushima Rie's car.

The latter's car surprised Watanabe Yu a little.

The car logo is a golden shield with PORSCHE written on it.

Obviously, this music critic's income is not low, or in other words, her family background should be quite good.

The car drove smoothly into the main road and then merged into the traffic.

After driving on the road for about 10 minutes, the car stopped outside a luxuriously decorated Western restaurant.

"follow me."

After getting out of the car, Matsushima Rie handed the keys to the parking attendant with ease, and then greeted Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki who also got out of the car.

She is a black gold member of this western restaurant and comes here to sit from time to time.

In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that this restaurant is her daily canteen.

"Old location."

Walking into the lobby of the western restaurant, Matsushima Rie looked at the waitress who seemed to be an acquaintance and said this sentence first.

"Okay, please follow me."

The waitress bowed slightly and walked in front to lead the way.

"This western restaurant has been open for about five years. From being unknown in the beginning, to becoming slightly famous, and then being featured in food magazines, the journey is quite legendary when you think about it carefully."

While introducing the restaurant, Matsushima Rie turned around and looked at Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki.

If possible, she really wanted to stay in a secret way. There is a saying that goes, it is not as interesting to watch others fall in love as to fall in love yourself.

Besides, she had taught Yuki so much, and as a teacher, she should check her 'homework' to be considered responsible.

What a pity...

These thoughts can only remain in my mind.

With Yuki's personality, if I were there, she probably wouldn't have the nerve to do that.

I can only say that compared to her past self, Yuki is still too immature.

"uh-huh."

Yuki Hayakawa simply echoed the words.

At the same time, a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.

Her intuition told her that Aunt Lihui was probably thinking about something related to them, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Besides, in the current situation, it is not convenient for her to ask.

"By the way, is there anything you should avoid eating?"

Matsushima Rie noticed Yuki's look and immediately changed her words to divert her attention.

"As for me, I'm allergic to seafood."

Yuki Hayakawa muttered softly.

Logically speaking, someone born in an island country should not be allergic to seafood, but she is allergic.

"That's a pity. The seafood platter here is quite good." Matsushima Rie shook her head, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Watanabe Yu, "J, where's Watanabe?"

When the words came to her lips, she suddenly realized what was happening and changed her words temporarily.

"Me? I'm not really into seafood, but as for the rest, I don't have any."

Watanabe Yu gave an honest answer.

Of course, if you must say it, he does have some opinions about bitter melon, but generally speaking, Western restaurants should not have dishes related to bitter melon.

"Should we say we are worthy of being partners?" Matsushima Rie shook her head and called the waitress in front, "Matsushita, today is still the same, but replace the seafood with the signature dishes of your restaurant."

"Yes, Ms. Matsushima."

The waitress responded softly and stopped.

"Here we are."

She turned sideways, bent slightly, and signaled the three of them to sit in the booth.

"sit down."

Matsushima Rie didn't rush to sit down, but instead gave a look to Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki, indicating that they should sit down first.

"Watanabe, Hayakawa!?"

But before Watanabe Yu and Hayakawa Yuki sat down, a voice with a hint of surprise rang out.

"So, you guys are definitely going to be first in this school festival?"

"That's it."

In a high-end apartment in Bunkyo Ward, Risa Yasuhara, who was wearing pajamas and slumped on the sofa, responded lazily.

"No, we drank the same beer and ate the same food. I've recovered from the shock, but you haven't recovered from the shock yet, have you?"

On the sofa nearby, a female police officer, who was also wearing pajamas, yelled.

"No, I just don't want to move." Yasuhara Risa pouted, "I finally finished the work at hand. I don't need to write those annoying reports, and I don't need to think about how to prepare lessons."

Having said that, she turned around and looked at her best friend.

"Eda Ikumi! Now tell me, do you still want to move?"

Her eyes were fixed on the other person's face, with a hint of seriousness in them.

"……In no mood."

Ikumi Eda was silent for a moment, but she resisted the urge to be stubborn and answered honestly.

"That's it. It's a rare day off. If we don't laze around, what's the point?" Yasuhara Risa paused and continued, "In addition to moving forward, we also need to stop occasionally and look at the scenery around us."

Simply moving forward will only make people nervous.

Anyway, she had gone through a period of time like that.

"What you're saying now is not like you at all."

Ikumi Eda leaned back slightly and also leaned on the sofa.

She raised her hand and crossed her long fingers slightly, making the shape of a camera.

Then she turned the camera to Risa Yasuhara.

"Smile~"

"whee."

Risa Yasuhara cooperated very well and gave a silly smile.

"Click~"

Ikumi Eda also lowered her voice and started dubbing.

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and then smiled at each other.

"Who does that look like?"

Risa Yasuhara fell limply on her sofa.

"Like a real old teacher." Eda Ikumi shrugged, "Just like my Chinese teacher in high school."

"Idiot, I'm a teacher." Yasuhara Risa rolled her eyes and muttered, but the next second, her voice was filled with emotion, "But, Miyasaka teacher has retired for a long time, have you talked to her recently?"

Since graduation, she has talked to him on the phone three times a year.

Once at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the year and at the end of the year.

"Yes, she is living in the countryside. She caught a cold a while ago, but she recovered quickly."

Ikumi Eda gave an honest answer.

"By the way, how's your business going? It's rare to see you getting involved in these things, and you've been busy with them for a long time."

She then asked this question.

Anyway, she has known Risa Yasuhara for such a long time, but she has never seen anyone who can really convince the latter to help like this.

"all the best."

Risa Yasuhara thought about how organized Ayana Amamiya was when she was working, and then she smiled.

Who knows, this investment might become her most successful one ever.

Although all in all, she only invested a few times.

"Hey, what do you mean, you're going to be the big boss, right?"

Hearing this, Ikumi Eda made a little joke.

"Hehe, yes, I will eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and I will make you greedy. Of course, if you are willing to call me Sister Risa, I can support you a little bit."

Yasuhara Risa gave a wicked smile.

"Go to hell, I have hands and feet, do I still need you to support me?" Jiang Tian Yumei rolled her eyes, but the next second she changed the subject, "If you really have such a bright future, take me with you?"

She still has some money, so investing in a company shouldn't be a big problem.

"I may not be able to make the decision on this matter, but I can ask for you."

Speaking of this, Risa Yasuhara's expression suddenly became serious.

“You’re not the largest shareholder???”

"No."

"..."

Ikumi Eda was silent.

She had thought that her best friend was the major shareholder, but now it seemed that the gap was quite different from what she had imagined.

But after hesitating for a while, she nodded.

"Okay, ask for me."

only……

Watanabe Yu, what magic power do you have that can make Risa help you like this?
