Chapter 379: Date with Igarashi Runa
For people, work and study are actually the same.
The similarities between the two are the boring and tedious process and the rewards after putting in time and effort.
"It's finally done..."
As the final business negotiations ended and the guests were sent away, Kurosawa Hikaru sat on the sofa, feeling relieved.
Today, in order to prove that he is Zero Hour, he played "The Bell" four times, "Croatian Rhapsody" twice, and "Adelina by the Water" once.
In fact, piano playing is very tiring because it requires extremely high concentration.
But what's more difficult than playing is the representatives from various companies.
The situations in every business meeting are extremely similar.
First, he introduced himself, and the representative politely stated that he did not believe that Kurosawa Hikaru was Zero Hour. Then he played a song. The representative was greatly shocked, and his attitude changed 180 degrees. He directly transformed into a fanatical fan, with ultimate admiration. .
Unlike Ryoko Nishikawa, the three partners after that were more or less greedy. In addition to "The Bell", they also hoped that he could play other piano music.
Even if he learned wisely and simply put on the Zero Hour suit and put on the mask, it was still useless.
Even though his voice and appearance are genuine, Zero Hour's mask is just a symbol, just the image that people recognize.
The tuxedo, voice, and mask cannot prove his identity at all. Only his piano skills are the only evidence.
"Thank you for your hard work. You played for so long today. Are your shoulders tired?"
At this moment, a pair of hands touched Kurosawa's back shoulders and gently massaged him.
Those small hands, even through the clothes, can still feel the soft touch.
Feeling this movement, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but raise his head and look at the person behind him.
Igarashi Runa was seen standing behind the sofa, reaching out to massage him, with a slight smile on her pretty face, looking down at him.
"Any other plans next?"
Seeing her overjoyed smile, Kurosawa Hikaru did not stop her movements, but relaxed his body to enjoy it.
Although the work is boring and boring, it is still quite enjoyable when I think about the benefits that those contracts can bring.
And today's harvest is far more than that. For example, Miss Runa is in a particularly good mood.
"Hmm"
As he spoke, Kurosawa Hikari couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a very subtle hum.
Ms. Runa's technique is quite impressive. It may not be very powerful, nor is it targeted at acupuncture points, but the strength is well controlled. The touch brought by the fingertips between the up, down, left and right movements is particularly comfortable.
"Your work is over today. Let's go out for dinner together later, and then I'll take you home."
Seeing that he felt very comfortable, Igarashi Runa's lips curved into an obvious smile, and her hands moved even harder.
"Are you going to work later?"
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he immediately opened his eyes.
"yes."
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained.
Maybe the business talks have been settled, but the contract is not something you can get paid just by signing it, you still have to fulfill your obligations.
If he had signed four contracts in a row at the previous Huanxing Firm, he would have been preparing for a celebration party.
But things are different now. There are too few staff in the odd-hour office, so she has to take care of various jobs.
"How long will you work until?"
“It depends on the progress of the work, so we can’t tell for the time being.”
"Are there many jobs?"
"It's quite a lot."
"There should be a lot of money in the firm's books, right? Why not recruit some employees?"
Kurosawa Hikaru made a rough guess and asked.
Obviously, the fundamental reason why Ms. Runa is busy is that she has no help.
Come to think of it, this firm currently only has four people.
Among them, he and Xiao Yuki are active as entertainers, while Chizuru is a pure investor and basically does not interfere with the affairs of the office.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything from business cooperation and business development to trivial matters such as water and electricity bills and venue decoration are all handled by Ms. Runa.
"Our firm is in the critical stage of getting started, and every step is a top priority. Don't worry, I'm already looking for candidates."
Speaking of recruiting people, Igarashi Runa was very excited while giving him a massage.
After signing the contract, it means that their firm will officially take off.
Even though the funds have not yet arrived, there are many things she can do with the value of these contracts.
The most important thing is that with a bulging wallet and confidence, she can select talents.
"Don't be too reluctant. The development of the firm is important, but if you accidentally tire yourself out, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
Seeing that she didn't feel disgusted at all about the things that still had a lot of work to do next, and was even eager to try and excited, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't interfere too much and just warned her.
"How can I get tired so easily?"
Igarashi Runa didn't care about this, and began to think of the outstanding talents he had met before, and planned how to poach them.
"Are you so confident in yourself?"
Kurosawa was surprised to find that she was extremely confident in her ability to work.
"When I first entered the industry, I suffered a lot with Rikka. The most tiring time was that I didn't have a chance to sleep for two days and one night."
Igarashi Runa nodded naturally and talked about his glorious past.
"Can you last two days and one night without sleeping? I don't know if I can bear it."
Kurosawa Hikaru looked up at her, considering and savoring thoughtfully.
"You guy, you haven't been serious since this morning."
Seeing the faint smile at the corner of his mouth, Igarashi Runa suddenly reacted, rolled her eyes at him in feigned anger, punched him, and said angrily.
She has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and has been socializing for a long time. Although his words may not sound like much, but combined with his expression and tone, she can feel that what this bad guy said is full of sexual content.
"Why am I not serious?"
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly felt innocent and looked at her.
"What do you think?"
Seeing the innocent expression on his face, Igarashi Runa reached out to pinch his face as if to tempt her to reveal the truth.
This little trick, for those little girls who are not very experienced in the world, may make their faces turn red and they dare not speak, but to her, it is child's play.
"No way."
In this regard, Kurosawa Hikaru tried his best to deny it, that is, he did not admit that he said something inappropriate.
"So thick-skinned."
Igarashi Runa found that he refused to acknowledge or argue with him, but just snorted knowingly.
"Ah"
At this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly shook his body and let out a low groan.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this scene, Igarashi Runa, who had been massaging him without stopping, was a little surprised.
Did you accidentally press any of his tendons?
"Miss Runa, I'm sorry, it was so comfortable. I couldn't hold it back and came out."
Facing her surprise, Kurosawa shook his head slightly and apologized.
"..."
After hearing these words, Igarashi Runa always felt that something was strange, and the more he tasted, the more something was wrong.
As a gold medal agent, reading a lot of books and being familiar with various film and television works and movies are basic skills.
"You say that again, I won't press it anymore."
After thinking for a while, Igarashi Runa suddenly realized the meaning of what he just said and stopped immediately.
"No, let's continue."
But at this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, holding her tight.
I have to say, you don't know if you don't hold it, but with this hold, her white wrist is very smooth and soft, making people feel like they can't put it down.
"Then be honest."
Faced with his request, although Igarashi Runa wanted to avoid the atmosphere becoming awkward, she still followed his wishes and just taught him a lesson.
"good."
Kurosawa nodded and agreed, then stopped talking.
Seeing that he was being honest, Runa Igarashi's hands fell on his shoulders again and started to knead them for him.
It is very enjoyable to have someone massage you.
If this person is still beautiful, it is a great beauty in the world.
"Miss Runa, where did you learn this shoulder massage technique? Why is it so powerful?"
After a while, Kurosawa Hikaru spoke again.
"I learned it in a massage parlor. I also give Chizuru massages occasionally. She sits a lot and writes a lot. Over time, her shoulders will accumulate a lot of fatigue and they will always be very sore."
In response to such praise, the corners of Igarashi Runa's mouth raised slightly.
Although this kind of talent does not help much in the work of an agent, it can still be regarded as a skill.
No matter what kind of talent it is, as long as it can be recognized by others and put to use, that is a good thing.
"Have you ever worked in a massage parlor?" Kurosawa Hikaru was very surprised.
"You just worked in a massage parlor. I worked so hard before and now that I'm making money, can't I just enjoy it?" Igarashi Runa stared at him speechlessly.
After people make money, they can't just think about buying a house or a car in the future. They must also focus on the present and pursue enjoyment and a better life.
If everything is considered for the future, then life will be too boring and boring, and there will be no motivation to make money.
"Is the massage parlor you go to serious?"
"It's a massage parlor, not a sex shop. Of course it's serious."
Seeing that he was thinking wrongly, Igarashi Runa reached out and pinched him again.
"Chizuru-san needs a massage because her shoulders are sore?" Kurosawa Hikaru nodded and asked again.
"yes."
"Are your shoulders sore?"
"Of course I will, otherwise why would I want a massage?"
"Sister Qianhe, her shoulders are sore because she writes a lot, so what's your reason?"
"Although I was an agent, my early job was traveling around, and later I also sat in an office."
"oh oh."
Hearing this answer, Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help but glance at her.
"Don't look."
Igarashi Runa noticed his gaze and glanced down slightly. She realized that he was staring at her Oppai. She suddenly realized what he had been alluding to just now. She suddenly felt embarrassed and reached out to cover him. s eyes.
This guy, it turned out that he thought her size was too big, which was why his shoulders were sore.
Although this is true, there are still many reasons why her shoulders are sore.
"Even if you can't tell me...but this is force majeure for me.
Although Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes were covered, his mouth kept moving.
"Why is it force majeure?"
Igarashi Runa answered subconsciously. This guy was clearly able to control himself before and didn't look at her at all.
"Because the greater the mass of the planet, the greater the gravity."
Although Kurosawa Hikari was invisible, his other senses were amplified, as if he could smell a sweet and addictive fragrance.
Among the women around him, Miss Runa is definitely the most beautiful woman.
"You still said that!"
Igarashi Runa didn't expect that he had a back-up plan, so she got angry and slapped his face with her hands, trying to stop his mouth.
"Hahaha."
Regarding such punishment, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't feel any pain at all and laughed out loud.
Although he was being punished, he was smiling, not because he was M, but because he felt that the distance between Miss Runa and him was beginning to shorten.
The way they get along is no longer the same as before, maintaining an obvious distance.
Just like the current situation, if a third person is present, you will definitely think that they are flirting.
This kind of interaction is actually very ambiguous. In the past, it would not have been possible between them.
After joking for a while, the massage was over.
"Miss Runa, do you have to finish your work later today?"
Kurosawa glanced at the time, it was now 17:42, and asked.
"It doesn't have to be done today, but if there is work, it's best to finish it early, otherwise, once the work piles up, it will be out of control."
Igarashi Runa no longer stood behind the sofa, but sat down on another sofa.
Although during business negotiations, she always sat on the same sofa as Kurosawa Hikaru.
What's more, the day before yesterday, she and Chizuru sat next to Kurosawa Hikaru, so close that their arms were close to each other.
But in view of the situation just now, she did not dare to sit too close to Kurosawa Hikaru.
Because of the change in position, from hunter to prey, she felt at a loss.
Facing Kurosawa's initiative, she really couldn't handle it, let alone resist it.
"Then do you want to celebrate tonight?"
Hikaru Kurosawa realized that she didn't have procrastination and wasn't surprised, so he just suggested.
Able to become a gold medal agent, and also a virtuous family member, Ms. Runa has a very diligent character and can endure hardships.
"Celebrate what?"
Igarashi Runa was a little confused.
"Celebrate signing four contracts today."
"What's wrong with you? When "Flight of the Bumblebee" was released and achieved unprecedented success, you didn't even want to celebrate."
Facing this invitation, Igarashi Runa sat on the sofa with her arms folded and looked at him.
As a woman, she knows very well that men's invitations to women are 100% unkind.
Especially in the name of celebration, even if you don't say it beforehand, once you get to the dinner table, drinking is inevitable.
"I was too busy before."
Kurosawa was very calm about this question.
In fact, the reason why he didn't celebrate before was not because he was busy at all, but because he wanted to keep distance from Igarashi Runa.
After all, she was his girlfriend's best friend, and after being exposed by the system, he knew that Miss Runa had a crush on him.
In order to prevent friendships and friendships from deteriorating, contact must be reduced as much as possible.
"So how are you going to celebrate?"
Igarashi Runa looked at him deeply, thought for a long time, and then asked.
"Let's go eat and have a few drinks."
Kurosawa is not afraid to speak out, because he really wants to celebrate, and their next meeting is at an izakaya.
"Just the two of us?"
Igarashi Runa asked again.
"Should I call Sister Qianhe?"
"She has to go to work tomorrow morning. She took time off in order to shoot the MV with you."
"Look at my memory. I forgot about this. She doesn't have summer vacation now."
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard this, he slapped his head and said suddenly.
Through these words, he could feel that Miss Runa was actually looking forward to a date alone.
Perhaps they had had several experiences of being alone together in the office before this, but the atmosphere was different depending on the occasion.
Between men and women, if you want to enhance the relationship, the choice of occasion is very important.
"I do not have either."
"But you don't have a boss. You are the boss. You can go to work whenever you want."
"That's true. It makes people feel comfortable."
Speaking of the identity of the boss, Igarashi Runa was a little happy.
After resigning from Huanxing Office, I no longer worked as a worker, but felt like my own boss. It was really refreshing and I no longer had to be controlled by others.
Of course, she is very self-disciplined and motivated, and she does everything she needs to do safely.
"Then let's go?"
Kurosawa Hikaru asked when he saw her smile.
"I'll clean up first and wait a moment."
Igarashi Runa nodded.
After that, she stood up and walked outside.
Seeing her turn around and leave, Kurosawa Hikaru was not in a hurry and sat there and waited.
One of the best tacit understandings in the world is that I understand your pretense of reserve, and you understand my evil intentions.
Although he doesn't have many plans, after all, the story between him and Miss Runa has just begun.
"Okay, let's go."
Not long after, Igarashi Runa opened the door and returned to the lounge.
"You tidied up just to change clothes?"
As she returned, Kurosawa Hikaru took one look and couldn't look away.
Igarashi Runa left, took off her OL uniform and changed into another set of clothes.
She is wearing an ultra-thin windbreaker, lined with a white hollow V-neck short-sleeved top. The collar has a collar with a misplaced fabric design connected to the neck. There is a pearl pendant under the neck. The cuffs are designed with puff sleeves. , the fabric is ice silk, and the craft is knitting.
Especially the hollow V-neck design is even more tempting. The sexy collarbone is at the corner, like two bridges buried between the white snow and the clouds, with a towering peak below.
This kind of outfit is so impactful that no man can resist it with just one glance.
And white is a color that makes you look bigger... This makes her proud figure even more hot and charming.
Compared to her upper body, she wore a pair of denim shorts for her lower body, and her big white legs looked extremely slender under the design of the clothes.
This is a person who understands fashion. Although it looks very decent and can be worn on the street calmly, it still gives people a feeling of budding.
Her graceful curves and sexy figure are vividly displayed in this suit of clothes.
Beautiful, handsome, sexy, mature, just like an urban beauty.
"It's off duty time now."
Maybe she changed her clothes specifically, but Igarashi Runa was very calm, and for good reason.
What's more, her outfit is for everyday wear. She is not afraid of meeting people at all, so there is no reason to be shy.
"Miss Runa, your clothes are really strong."
Kurosawa Hikaru withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but admire.
He had felt like this when he first met her... Miss Runa has a lot of knowledge about dressing.
This is a long-awaited feeling, because I don’t know when, when Miss Runa met him, her dressing style became more conservative. She usually added a jacket and zipped it up.
But this time, the zipper of her coat was only zipped up to her waist... The right distance and matching design made people's eyes involuntarily focus on her lining.
"Compared to you, he's not that powerful."
Igarashi Runa met his admiring gaze, feeling quite happy in her heart, and replied.
When he went to shoot on Monday, Kurosawa Hikaru took Chizuru to buy clothes. In a short period of time, he picked out several outfits that could perfectly show off Chizuru's coolness. This shows that he has a strong interest in Chizuru. How deep is your understanding of clothing matching?
"There's no point in praising each other, let's go?"
Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and stood up.
"Set off."
Igarashi Runa nodded, then walked forward, picked up the remote control, and turned off the air conditioner in the lounge.
The air conditioning in the office must be turned on 24 hours a day only in the recording studio, because in this hot summer, the Steinway piano must be given a suitable space for maintenance and storage.
Then they walked out of the lounge together and started walking down the stairs.
"Where are we going to celebrate?"
Igarashi Runa followed behind and asked.
"Find an izakaya."
Kurosawa Hikaru already had the answer to the choice of venue.
He wants to date Miss Runa, and also wants to do a date mission.
After all, why not get the best of both worlds?
"If you go to an izakaya, you don't need to drive, right?"
Arriving on the first floor, Igarashi Runa glanced at the garage door and asked.
"Don't open it, so as not to have to make another trip later."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded. If he knew he wanted to drink and drove there, he would be asking for trouble.
After saying that, he walked towards the door of the office, opened the door and stood aside, wanting to give the lady priority.
"squeak--"
However, Igarashi Runa did not walk out immediately. Instead, she stopped and reached out to zip up the zipper.
With this movement, most of her proud figure was immediately hidden... Although her beautiful legs are still eye-catching, the outfit is very particular about design. Once the balance is broken, it will be different. .
Even so, Kurosawa Hikaru knew that she had an extremely hot figure hidden under her windbreaker.
"I don't like being stared at."
After Igarashi Runa finished this action, facing his surprised gaze, he explained and walked out of the door.
"Let's take a taxi."
After closing the door and leaving the office, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the surrounding environment and pedestrians and said.
"That's such a waste."
Hearing this decision, Igarashi Runa frowned.
In her opinion, unless there is an emergency, taking a taxi is extravagant and wasteful.
“It’s not a waste to do this.”
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head at this statement.
"?"
Igarashi Runa looked at him in surprise. Is he the type who spends money lavishly?
"Because I don't like you being stared at."
Facing her gaze, Kurosawa turned to look at her and stated his reasons.
"!"
Hearing these extremely possessive words, Igarashi Runa's beautiful eyes were fixed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated a little.
Kurosawa spoke as if he thought of her as his girlfriend.
