Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Although Hojo Kirisa's expression remained as cold as ever, she paused slightly upon hearing Bai Feng's greeting before replying:

"Ah."

"If you're here, go backstage and get ready. You'll be giving a speech on behalf of this year's freshmen in a little while."

Upon hearing this, the group of people who were chatting all turned around to look at the newcomer.

After all, he was able to become a freshman representative at the private Xiujin Academy.

They are not ordinary people.

Whether in terms of studies or grades, they are definitely among the best of the freshmen.

Even more extreme cases are those from families with strong financial backing.

Lacking any one of the above, one absolutely cannot be a representative of the new students.

They heard Hojo Kirisa say that.

This also implicitly acknowledged that Bai Feng was one of them.

After all, most of them were former freshman representatives and student council presidents.

After becoming a freshman representative, they are usually recommended by the previous student council president to become the next student council president.

These were all hidden rules from the past.

However, some freshmen representatives do not like the busy affairs of the student council, so some of them will not choose to become the student council president.

This is why this matter is not widely known to outsiders.

So apart from those directly involved, very few people know about this.

After hearing what Hojo Kirisa just said, it's clear that many people want to get to know Kamishiro Hakufu beforehand.

Many of them couldn't help but marvel at Shiro Kaede's appearance.

One of the women, wearing sunglasses, had her eyes light up when she saw Shiro Kaede.

Before those people could even ask who Kamishiro Shirofumi was...

The woman greeted him with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Kamishiro-kun? What a coincidence!"

Upon seeing the woman wearing sunglasses, Shiro Shiro began to recall who she was, and frowned, asking, "Miss Nagasawa Yui?"

Yui Nagasawa took off her sunglasses, winked her left eye at Bai Feng, and said mischievously, "No, no, you should call me Nagasawa-senpai at school, but if you want to call me Yui, that's perfectly fine too~"

"Really? Then can Yui give me back the 10,000 yen now?" Seeing that she hadn't been drinking today, Shiro asked without any hesitation.

In Japanese culture, people usually address each other by their surname when they are not very familiar with each other or in formal settings.

This is considered a respectful and polite practice.

For example, in the workplace, employees might address their colleagues as Yamamoto-san or Takahashi-san instead of by their names.

However, in private settings or when interacting with very close people, Japanese people also use names to address each other.

For example, in a family, relatives or very close friends may directly address each other by their names.

Erina would call Shirakaze by his name, and Shirakaze would call Erina by her name as well.

When Nagasawa Yui heard Bai Feng actually call her Yui, she was first taken aback, and then couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

She had only meant to tease Bai Feng when she said that, but she didn't expect him to actually call her that.

And the most outrageous thing is that he was actually still thinking about the 10,000 yen for that day.

Yui Nagasawa laughed heartily; she genuinely found this person very interesting.

at this time.

Those who witnessed this scene guessed that the two knew each other.

Instead, he became even more interested in Shiro Kaede.

"Nagasawa-san, do you know this person? Aren't you going to introduce him?"

"Yeah, don't just stand there enjoying it by yourself, hurry up and introduce it to me!"

Nagasawa Yui laughed awkwardly, "Haha, to be honest, I don't really know Kamishiro-kun very well either."

Others complained:

"Hey, you're smiling so happily, and you're telling me you don't know him?"

"He's already calling you Yui, are you serious?"

"real or fake?"

Yui Nagasawa laughed and said, "Really, really, you can ask him if you don't believe me."

Shiro Shiro didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "Yes, we only met once."

Yui Nagasawa gestured, "It seems quite a few people here want to get to know Kamishiro-kun. These are all your seniors; they used to be student council presidents and freshman representatives. Kamishiro-kun, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Shiro Kaede roughly guessed that these people were there to observe the freshman ceremony, and politely introduced himself.

A tall, muscular man extended his hand and greeted him, "I see. Your name is Shiro Kaede, right? Hello, my name is Shinichiro Akasaka. I currently work in the league as a baseball player. I remember you were on TV before, didn't you?"

"Yes, that's true, but I was just lucky to get interviewed." Shiro Shiro reached out and shook hands with him. He could tell that the man's hands had many calluses, probably from years of training.

The fingers, in particular, were twisted in a rather strange way.

It's obvious that throwing baseballs too much has caused his fingers to become deformed.

Shinichiro Akasaka carefully examined Bai Feng's appearance, then compared it to his own somewhat resolute yet ordinary face, and couldn't help but smile helplessly:

"I don't think I was lucky to be interviewed."

Some people even handed over their business cards before greeting Bai Feng.

After accepting the business cards, Bai Feng responded to each one.

Because he was humorous, polite, and good-looking, everyone present had a good impression of Bai Feng.

When it was Nagasawa Yui's turn last, she handed over a business card with both hands, smiling as she said:

"Bai Feng, I used to be a famous celebrity's daughter, but now I've changed careers and become a sharp-eyed talent scout!"

"Based on my analysis, you have great potential, Mr. Kamishiro. Are you interested in joining my company?"

After taking it, Shiro Shiro shook his head and refused, saying, "Miss Nagasawa, please don't joke around."

Yui Nagasawa said angrily, "I'm not joking, I'm serious. And why are you being so formal by calling me 'Miss Nagasawa'? Didn't you just call me Yui?"

"I was just joking."

"I'm serious, and since I'm calling you Bai Feng, you have to call me Yui too."

"."

"Quickly, call me Yui now."

"Yui."

"Hmph, that's more like it. What about your reply just now?"

"No."

"Huh? I'm serious, you really have the potential to become a huge hit."

"I'm sorry, I can't reply to you right now."

For Bai Feng, if his next career is one that doesn't make money, then becoming a celebrity to earn money isn't out of the question.

After all, he'll probably need money to start this career in the future, and he can't just work as a wage earner for the rest of his life.

That kind of efficiency is too slow.

Of course, this is all contingent on waiting for the next career opportunity to come along.

When Nagasawa Yui invited Bai Feng to become a star, no one present objected, and no one thought he couldn't become a star.

Because Bai Feng's appearance is very eye-catching, his conversation is very interesting, and his voice is very magnetic.

If he's not suited to be a star, then no one is.

Hojo Kirisa, who had been silent all along, interrupted Nagasawa Yui's incessant chatter as they finished their introductions, saying, "Kamishiro-kun, it's time to get ready."

"Okay." After saying that, Shiro Shiro glanced at the people present and said goodbye, "Then I'll go ahead and get busy. Please make yourselves at home, senior brothers and sisters."

With that, he left alone.

Nagasawa Yui watched Bai Feng leave, feeling a little annoyed. She pouted and complained, "Why wouldn't he agree? The conditions are so good!"

Baseball player Shinichiro Akasaka analyzed, "I also think he would be very suitable to be a star, but since he refused, maybe he hasn't thought about being a star yet. He's still young and doesn't know what value he has. Once he understands the income of a star, he might understand the benefits of being a star."

Yui Nagasawa huffed and complained, "That should be it."

As she was speaking, she suddenly remembered something.

Oh right, I forgot to return the 10,000 yen to Bai Feng.

That gives me a perfect excuse to get close to him.

I'll go find him after school today, and while I'm at it, I'll tell him about the benefits of being a celebrity, and at the same time, I'll return the money to him.

Meanwhile, Hojo Kirisa listened silently to Nagasawa Yui's words, her expression unchanged, and she made no move to interrupt.

at this time.

Shiro Shiro went backstage.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Hina Watanabe standing with the other members of the choir. However, she wasn't chatting with anyone; instead, she was staring at something, and her expression seemed a little off.

As if she had also sensed something, Watanabe Hina immediately turned her gaze towards Shiro Shiro when he arrived.

She looked at him, and her tense expression immediately eased.

Watanabe Hina slowly walked over and said:

"Kamishiro-kun, we meet again."

"We're about to go on stage, are you a little nervous?"

Shiro Shiro shook her head: "No, I'm just going to say a few words at the opening ceremony, there's nothing to be nervous about. But you've brought it up a few times, are you nervous?"

Watanabe Hina remained silent for a long time, nervously clenching her fingers until they turned blue.
