Chapter 54 You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident (24)

The next day.

After successfully capturing the heart of his young wife with a song called "Tanka of the Thunder God" from the "Manyoshu" last night, Kitagawa Hide finally pushed his strategy forward a small step, making Agatsuma Yumeko, who was always shy when it came to love affairs, take the initiative to confess her love and even offer her sweet little lips to this big bad guy to taste them at will.

Unfortunately, this time I only conquered the lips and failed to taste the sweeter tongue. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
These thoughts may sound a bit vulgar when spoken out, but Kitagawa Hide, who didn't have much emotional experience in his previous life, really thought so in his heart.

And he thinks that if the other person doesn't like you, then you are indeed a bit vulgar and erotic, but if the other person truly loves you, then this is a little romance between men and women that cannot be described in detail.

In short, when it comes to lust, Kitagawa Hide is not so twisted and restrained.

In this post-bubble era where society is extremely repressed and everyone's desires are difficult to release, this kind of sweet love is hard to come by.

He enjoys running in both directions, enjoys conquering cities and territories, and enjoys the process of achieving a happy ending with his young wife step by step!
But love is one thing, but you still have to be moderate!
Last night, the two of them became happier and more engaged as they talked, from love to literature, from literature to life. After chatting so happily, the two of them simply ran to a 24-hour convenience store and bought a lot of beer, and came back drinking and talking until very late.

My wife Yumeko had classes today, so she woke up early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes. After washing up and making breakfast for him, she hurried away with the homework.

Kitagawa Hide, who had already resigned from the record company, simply slept until noon, and only got up slowly at this time.

Until now, he still feels a slight headache and is not fully conscious. A hangover can cause serious damage!

"You absolutely can't do this again! The debt hasn't been paid off yet, and the cafe hasn't officially opened yet, how can you be so lax!"

Kitagawa Hide came to the bathroom, washed in front of the mirror, whispered to himself, then put on new clothes as quickly as possible and prepared to go to "Peter Cat" to clean up -

Everyone drank too much at the celebration party last night, and the mess is left there and hasn't been cleaned up. If it's not cleaned up properly, it will affect the opening day in a week.

Now that he has resigned and bought this small bar, Kitagawa Hide plans to temporarily focus on conceiving a new book while slowly running it.

Although the original intention of opening a jazz cafe was to fulfill my little wife's dream, there is no business at all and it is not acceptable to lose money every day.

Once he sets his mind to doing something, he will give it his all and strive for perfection.

The schedule for July has also been arranged. Within this week, the decoration company will completely renovate the cafe. Then we will ask the celebration company to arrange the opening ceremony and give my little wife a surprise. The cafe will then be officially opened.

During this period, I just finished serializing "Ball" and connected "A Sheep Chase" seamlessly. Then I had about a month of free time to think about the new book. Everything was perfect.

It was all these things combined, plus the need to move his family there, that instantly deflated Kitagawa Hide's wallet, which was already not very full to begin with.

With more than 1 million yuan of debt still lying quietly in the account, it seems that plans to purchase luxury houses and cars will have to be postponed.

But isn’t that what life is?
Plan carefully, accumulate bit by bit, from nothing to something, and bring yourself closer and closer to the perfect life of your dreams.

Before going out, Kitagawa Hide came to the computer desk, tore off the yellowed draft paper stuck on the left corner, and replaced it with a brand new one.

"Each manuscript is worth 1.2 yen"

Kodansha fixed salary: 25 yen per month before tax.

"Hear the Wind Sing": A total of 4 words, serialized royalties before tax of 6 yen.

"Pinball in 1973": A total of 6 words, serialized royalties before tax 3 yen.

Group Portrait Newcomer Award: Prize money of 200 million yen before tax.

Royalties from "Hear the Wind Sing": 1874 yen before tax.

The current total deposit after tax is 1056.26 million yen, and the total principal and interest of liabilities is 1 million yen.

After finishing these chores, Kitagawa Hide picked up his bag and left the rental house contentedly.

It is actually very troublesome to get from Adachi District to the Tama area. Kitagawa Hide first has to take the subway to Shin-Nishii Station on the Tokaido Main Line, then transfer to the JR East Line, transfer to the Chuo Line at the station, and then ride all the way to Nishi-Kokubunji Station. The total time is more than an hour and a half. Otherwise, why is it said that the Tama area is the periphery of the Tokyo metropolitan area?
Before, because he had Saito Rena to talk to, Kitagawa Hide didn't feel that bored, and it seemed like time passed by in a flash.

This time he was alone, so he was bored and started reading newspapers and magazines to see what hot news there was recently.

Halfway through 1995, Japanese society still looks sluggish. In order to divert the public's attention, the current authorities always like to make some big news in the entertainment industry to attract them. The headlines of the entertainment section are occupied by three current giants. The 28-year-old well-known female rock singer Izumi Sakai released a new album "Forever You", which debuted at No. 62 on the Oricon chart with sales of 1 in the first week. The total sales have now exceeded 100 million copies!

"It has to be Sister Quanshui. If I could get her to perform in my cafe, I wouldn't have to worry about business in the second half of this year!" Beichuan Xiu secretly sighed in his heart. Of course, he could only think about this in his head.

Izumi Sakai is now very famous after she sang the song "Don't Give Up" in 93. Her appearance fee for a commercial performance is as high as 300 million yen, which is something he can't afford now.

The second person dominating the headlines is the former "Showa Diva" Akina Nakamori. The 1989-year-old's career plummeted to the bottom after she committed suicide for love in . Six years have passed, and Akina's records are no longer even in the top of the charts, but her personal popularity is still very high.

If any newspaper does not write about Akina Nakamori's scandals and private life, it will not last long!

"What a shame! If Sister Akina's value really drops, I could go pick up a bargain or something. But considering her popularity, the price for a commercial performance is definitely too high for me to afford."

Kitagawa Hide folded the newspaper over and saw the third hotshot dominating the page. This time it was a man, the great Kimura Takuya!

According to a survey by Dentsu, the "Kimutaku phenomenon" has created 720 billion yen in economic benefits this year and has been hailed as a phenomenal success in the entertainment industry.

720 billion is indeed a bit exaggerated, but this is actually not the limit of Master Kimura.

Kitagawa Hide remembers that next year's "Long Vacation" will be his real peak work. I don't know if the TV station has started writing the script. If not, maybe he can put on a vest and submit a manuscript or something.

These are all Japanese yen that look like they can be grasped within your grasp.

Kitagawa Hide secretly took note of this matter, then turned it over again and found that the Japanese government was still the same old style. The whole article was either about cheering up the people and encouraging them, or about how they cracked down on the Aum Shinrikyo and reshaped the social environment.

Kitagawa Hidetoshi was too lazy to complain about this. As far as he knew, apart from Asahara Shoko who was arrested, the core elites of Aum Shinrikyo were all on the run, and those industries that harmed people were operating normally, and no one could stop them.

How could they be so happy if there were no senior government officials supporting them?
If Asahara Shoko hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey and caused the Tokyo subway sarin gas incident, this cult might have continued until after the millennium.

Even so, these vicious bastards only received justice one by one after 02.

Finally, when he saw the literary section related to him, he was surprised to find that many newspapers mentioned his name again.

The sales battle between Oshima Hikaru and him had just come to an end, and not long after Kawaide Shobo's President Kawaide Shizuko supported him, these people couldn't sit still again and started jumping up and down.

As the July issue of "Gunzo" was about to be released, the news that "Ball" would be completed was leaked again. For a time, the literary world was once again hotly discussing Kitagawa Hide and the "Kitagawa Hide style" he had created. The mainstream media still maintained a critical attitude, but this time they changed their approach and no longer criticized Kitagawa Hide based on the quality and content of the book.

Instead, he compared "Ball" with "Hear the Wind Sing".

That’s right, the current situation is indeed that there is no newcomer in the first half of the year, and even no old writer is capable of competing with Kitagawa Hide. Well, let’s compare your old book with your new book. “Ball” is worse than “Hear the Wind Sing”!

Don't ask me, if you ask me, my answer is that he reached his peak right after his debut. After putting on a filter, no matter how much you say, I will still shout, "Hear the Wind Sing is awesome, and Ball no longer has the sincerity that he had when he first debuted!"

Kitagawa Hide was almost laughing at the criticism from these literary critics; they had really figured out the double standard game.

But looking at it this way, Kodansha's public relations power seems to be very weak. Why do they tolerate these guys who have nothing to do and have a full meal to criticize them every day?

Next time when I sign a new contract, I have to mention this to that bald executive manager.

As Kitagawa Hide was thinking this, the train announcer announced that they had arrived at Nishikokubunji Station. He immediately closed the newspaper and got off the train.

He rushed all the way to the basement floor and was surprised to find that Masato Chihara, who was dressed in a suit and tie, seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was dozing off against the wall.

"Captain Chihara, why are you here?"

Kitagawa Hide shouted and walked over.

Senhara Masato was startled when he heard the voice. He straightened his suit and tie, and hurried over with his handbag. He blurted out something very bad: "Teacher Kitagawa, I have some bad news for you."

"Two hours ago, I received an emergency notice from the branch that Yan Jingsang and his ex-wife were found dead in their apartment. The preliminary diagnosis was suicide!"
