Chapter 498: Fight for It in Advance

Ida Nariko woke up at half past six. She sat up in a daze and rubbed her eyes. Then she saw Akina Nakamori sitting on the sofa opposite, holding a neon version of "Zhou Yan" in her hand. , Yu Hua, Shi Tiesheng" while Zhou Yan was working at his desk.

"What time is it now? Have all the guests in the studio left?" Nariko Ida asked two questions in a row.

Hearing her movement, Nakamori Akina put down the book in her hand and said with a smile, "It's already past six in the morning. You've slept since past ten last night."

"Is it here?" Nariko Ida asked in surprise.

She only remembered that she and Akina Nakamori returned to the private room from the lobby and continued drinking. She didn't remember anything about what happened next, so she was surprised to appear in Zhou Yan's office.

"Well, right here, you slept soundly and basically didn't move much."

"What about you?" Nariko Ida asked.

"I'm right next to you, but I woke up earlier than you."

"Then Teacher Zhou..." Nariko Ida looked at Zhou Yan again.

"He fell asleep sitting in his office chair."

What she told was true. Zhou Yan did fall asleep on the office chair, but they both woke up midway.

Hearing what Nakamori Akina said, Ida Nariko was a little embarrassed, "I'm so sorry, Teacher Zhou, we drank too much last night and we still have to ask you to take care of us."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't take care of you. You fell asleep on the sofa after you came up, and there was no movement in the middle."

"Well, thank you for keeping watch over us in the office. I'm really sorry. I don't usually drink so much. I didn't know what happened last night, so I drank too much."

"It's a holiday, so it doesn't hurt to drink some wine. How do you feel now?"

After a hangover, Ida Nariko felt her head hurt a little, her body was dehydrated and she was a little thirsty, but she felt no other discomfort.

On the one hand, the wine she drank last night was of good quality, and on the other hand, she did get enough rest and her metabolism was almost complete.

"I'm fine, Akina. Let's go back to the hotel now. Don't disturb Teacher Zhou here."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "No need to leave in a hurry. When Kong Chao and the others get to work, I will ask him to make you some stomach-friendly breakfast. After breakfast, I will ask the driver to take you back. You drank so much last night. In the morning It’s better not to drive as much as possible.”

Nariko Ida also knew that Zhou Yan's arrangement was reasonable. She looked at Akina Nakamori, then nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Teacher Zhou."

"You're welcome. There is a bathroom on the second floor. If you want to wash up, I will go to the logistics office to help you see if there are towels and toothbrushes."

Nariko Ida smiled and said, "No need, we all have these things in the trunk of our car."

"Well, that's good."

…

What Zhou Yan didn't expect was that their car not only had towels and toothbrushes, but also a change of clothes, and even skin care and makeup items.

They even took a shower before the people in the studio went to work, then changed their clothes and put on makeup.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yan didn't have a hair dryer, they would even have to wash their hair.

At around eight o'clock, they went to the cafeteria to have a meal in high spirits.

While eating, Ida Nariko asked Nakamori Akina, "Akina, I finished drinking last night and didn't do anything rude, right?"

Akina Nakamori shook her head, "Even if there is, I don't know because I drank too much last night and woke up later."

"Oops." Nariko Ida slapped her forehead, "You really can't drink too much. How much did we drink last night?"

"There seemed to be three bottles of red wine." Akina Nakamori couldn't remember clearly. She only remembered opening three bottles of wine. She didn't know whether she opened more bottles later.

"So much..." Ida Nariko looked surprised. Her drinking capacity was actually average. Under normal circumstances, she would be considered good if she could drink more than half a bottle of red wine.

"It's a pity." Nariko Ida sighed again, "Originally last night I wanted to wait for Teacher Zhou to come to our box and then have two drinks with him. Although "Snow Flower" is very popular, a song After all, it’s still not enough. It would be great if I could get Teacher Zhou to write another song for you. Your comeback this time has started very well, but now you have to strike while the iron is hot. And you spend a lot of time in China, so you can’t. I have been singing those songs, but I still need a few more Chinese songs.”

Nakamori Akina was drinking porridge. When she heard Ida Nariko's words, she didn't respond and just nodded.

"Otherwise, I can find time to ask again today?" Nariko Ida said again.

"No need." Akina Nakamori said quickly.

Seeing Nakamori Akina's refusal, Ida Nariko sighed, "This kind of thing requires initiative. You can't rely on Teacher Zhou to take the initiative. Otherwise, you can also talk to Miss Shizuka. She doesn't have a good relationship with Teacher Zhou. Well, "Snow Flower" is also..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nakamori Akina interrupted her, "Nariko, let's eat first."

What happened in the past two days made Nakamori Akina feel guilty when she thought of Kudo Shizuka, feeling that she had betrayed a good friend.

Although Kudo Shizuka did not tell Nakamori Akina about her relationship with Zhou Yan, what happened in the hotel room last time can already explain the situation.

Akina Nakamori is not an ignorant girl who doesn't understand anything. She naturally knows what it means when Zhou Yan runs into Shizuka Kudo's room in that situation.

The night before yesterday, after they kissed in the car, Nakamori Akina had been struggling in her heart.

Reason told her that she should not get too close to Zhou Yan anymore, but she couldn't help but get close to Zhou Yan.

The reason why she broke her drinking habit last night was because she wanted to use alcohol to give herself some courage.

After being interrupted by Nakamori Akina, Ida Nariko didn't say anything else. She didn't think much about it. She just felt that Nakamori Akina was thin-skinned and was too embarrassed to go to Zhou Yan and Kudo Shizuka for help. This was also in line with Nakamori Akina's character. .

But when breakfast was almost finished, Akina Nakamori suddenly said, "Nariko, don't worry about the new song. I will find time to ask Teacher Zhou."

Hearing what Nakamori Akina said, Ida Nariko was very happy. Akina finally got the idea.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. You can tell Teacher Zhou carefully. I believe he will definitely consider it. In the past few days, I have found that his attitude towards us is different from before. As expected, we still have to come here more often."

"Um."

Akina Nakamori lowered her head and continued to drink her porridge. She did not dare to tell Nariko Ida about "Platform" and "Fireworks". If Nariko Ida knew about this, she would definitely be suspicious.

…

When Akina Nakamori went to Zhou Yan's office, she carried a thermos bucket in her hand.

"Would you like to stop working first and have breakfast?"

Zhou Yan put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and smiled, "You even brought me breakfast."

"Well, I heard from Kong Chao that this is what you usually eat."

Zhou Yan stood up and walked to the coffee table and looked at what Akina Nakamori brought.

A stick of corn, a meat bun, two tea eggs and a cup of hot milk are indeed the combinations that Zhou Yan often eats.

He was not polite and sat down directly. While peeling the eggs, he asked Akina Nakamori, "Are you going to the TV station to record a song today, in the morning or in the afternoon?"

When they were chatting the night before yesterday, Nakamori Akina told Zhou Yan that today she was going to Yanjing TV Station to record a song.

"It's afternoon." Akina Nakamori said.

"Well, there's no rush to leave then. You can leave after lunch."

Akina Nakamori shook her head, "No, I have to take a shower when I get back."

"Didn't you already wash it?"

"It was just a simple wash, and I haven't washed my hair yet. Since I'm going to record a show, I definitely can't be too sloppy."

Zhou Yan raised his eyes and looked at Akina Nakamori. She was wearing a very cool outfit. She wore a black sweater on the upper body, a black thickened leather jacket on the outside, and a pair of narrow-leg jeans with black high heels on the lower body. Booties.

"That's good for you."

Akina Nakamori asked with a smile, "Do you really feel good about it?"

"Of course, but it's just not frostproof. If you wear this outdoors, you'll freeze to death."

"No, my leather jacket is very thick. And I rarely walk outdoors, so it won't get cold."

Zhou Yan nodded, did not talk about this topic anymore, and started eating his breakfast.

Seeing that Zhou Yan suddenly stopped talking, Nakamori Akina bit her lips and said softly, "Then I'll go to the hotel and change into thicker clothes."

She thought Zhou Yan suddenly stopped talking because he was unhappy.

Zhou Yan was a little surprised when he saw Nakamori Akina's cautious look. If he didn't reply to Nakamori Akina just now, he didn't have any special thoughts. He just felt that there was no need to continue to expand the topic of clothes. It happened that his eggs had already been peeled and were ready to eat. .

But I didn't expect that Akina Nakamori would be so sensitive.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's good to keep warm, but what you wear depends on what you like."

Akina Nakamori also smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Neither of them spoke after that. Zhou Yan concentrated on his breakfast, while Akina Nakamori sat next to him and watched Zhou Yan cook intently.

She suddenly discovered that Zhou Yan looked very good when he was eating.

After Zhou Yan finished eating, Akina Nakamori came to help her clean up the mess, but Zhou Yan waved his hand, "No, I can do it myself. I will go to the cafeteria later and bring these things to them."

"Are you full?"

Zhou Yan rubbed his belly and said, "Normally, I would be full with these, but today I am still a little short."

"Why?" Akina Nakamori asked doubtfully.

"Because I exercised too much in the middle of the night yesterday." Zhou Yan showed a smirk on his lips.

Hearing this, Nakamori Akina's face turned red again.

Seeing her red cheeks, Zhou Yan pursed his lips and smiled. When he was in the practice room in the middle of the night, she was very proactive, but now she became shy.

…

After Akina Nakamori and the others returned to the hotel, Zhou Yan also went back home. Although it was winter, after last night's battle, he still had to come back and take a shower.

After taking a shower, he took a quick nap.

At 10:30, Gao Jinwen called and told him that the school-enterprise cooperation matter was coming to an end.

After hearing Gao Jinwen explain the situation, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Gao, I didn't expect you to be so efficient, so here's the feedback."

The matter was only mentioned yesterday afternoon. It is estimated that many people are still drunk at this time, but the school-enterprise cooperation matter has already been revealed.

"It won't work if you don't hurry up. Yesterday, several of them went to your studio, and each one was more anxious than the other. So early in the morning, a few of us went to find Dean Xu and reported yesterday's situation to him. Dean Xu listened After our report, you are very interested and asked me to call you to find an opportunity to discuss school-enterprise cooperation in detail. "

"I'm afraid I can't talk about school-enterprise cooperation in person. I'll ask Liu Hang, the head of our studio, to come over. He has always been in charge of the school-enterprise cooperation at Central Academy of Music. He knows these things better than me. . But don’t worry, Teacher Gao, I will definitely invite you to have dinner with Dean Xu once the matter is settled.”

Zhou Yan hasn't been particularly busy recently, but he decided to leave it to Liu Hang to contact him about school-enterprise cooperation.

Gao Jinwen understood Zhou Yan's approach very well. He smiled and said, "Director Zhou, you are too polite. You are very sincere in sending Mr. Liu over for this kind of matter. The purpose of both of us is to finally reach a cooperation. As for eating, wait until the school and enterprise Once the cooperation is settled, we must give our school the opportunity to treat you to a meal, and there must be some exchanges. "

Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Teacher Gao, in our friendship, let's avoid saying a few polite words. Regarding school-enterprise cooperation, I will let Liu Hang work with you seriously. If there are any problems that he can't solve, you can do it too. Come to me directly."

"Mr. Liu is handling the matter in person, how could something go wrong?" Gao Jinwen smiled and said, "But there is something I want to discuss with you in advance, without waiting to talk to Mr. Liu later."

"What's going on?" Zhou Yan asked.

"It's a matter of quotas. When we chatted yesterday, you also said that the quota you gave Yangyin for the first phase was ten to fifteen. But I think this number is still a bit small for our Chinese drama. You Let’s see if we can give you a few more places?”

Zhou Yanwei said, "I can't promise you this quota. It's not that I can't bear to give the students benefits and allowances. It's just that we are still exploring the school-enterprise cooperation model. What is the specific effect?" , it remains to be seen. Putting too many places in one period is a bit too risky and may disrupt the plan.”

"We understand this, but I still want to fight for it. See if we can increase the number of places to twenty. In this way, the four grades will be more evenly distributed."

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Director Gao, I can give you twenty quotas, but there is one thing I want to make clear to you. You cannot decide the allocation of these quotas. We must jointly form a selection group. , when selecting students, it is impossible to distribute them evenly to each grade.”

"this……"

Gao Jinwen didn't mind what Zhou Yan said about forming a selection team. After all, he didn't have a class teacher now, so which grade had more places would have little impact on him.

But if this is the case, then the quotas assigned to several grades will definitely not be the same, and some teachers will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Hearing Gao Jinwen's hesitation, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Otherwise, your school will not participate in this selection group and let all people from our studio come, so you don't have to embarrass yourself."

Zhou Yan immediately guessed Gao Jinwen's concerns, so he proposed this plan.

Anyway, the selection team is all from the studio. Even if some teachers feel uncomfortable, they can only complain about the studio and will not cause internal conflicts among them. (End of chapter)
