Chapter 129: You have a good daughter!
When Shizuka Takaaki heard this, he was slightly surprised. He only then understood that Zhou Xiao really wanted to see Akimoto Yasushi, but for what purpose, Shizuka Takaaki had to put a question mark on it.
The golf game lasted for several hours, and at noon, a group of people even had lunch on the course. The food supply in the stadium was surprisingly good, and it was said that it was made by a French chef.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Xiaoxin was actually very annoyed, but Shi Qiao Guiming and a few others seemed to have no intention of stopping, still playing slowly. This golf course was booked by them for a whole day, compared with these people, some people who wore big gold chains around their necks were simply too stupid...
Before long, another old man joined the crowd. This old man looked like he was in his fifties and seemed like a relative from someone's hometown. Zhou Xiao took several glances and felt familiar but couldn't figure out who it was. It wasn't until Shi Qiao Guiming spoke up that Zhou Xiao finally realized who the old man was.
"He doesn't have a spare pair of sunglasses." Ishibashi Takafumi said with some embarrassment.
Yes, sunglasses. After Zhou Xiao imagined what this old man would look like wearing sunglasses, everything became clear.
"Old man, every day in the morning, he has to live broadcast 'Laugh and Forget', how will he go back?" Zhou Xiao asked. Indeed, this old man is Tamori. After an interview with Laugh and Forget, plus countless times seeing him on TV before, even so, Zhou Xiao still didn't recognize him after the old man took off his sunglasses! It can only be said that the impression brought by the old man's sunglasses was too deep. As for the old man taking off his sunglasses, Zhou Xiao felt a little pleased to see it, because the old man would never take off his sunglasses on TV, even in working conditions such as live broadcasts without cameras, he wouldn't take off his sunglasses. Maybe only in this most private space, the old man would take off his sunglasses.
"Let's play for a while from now until evening and stay overnight here. We'll take the plane back early tomorrow morning," said Ishibashi Takamasa.
"......Alright, this old man really loves playing golf too much."
"Not just him, Kitano Takeshi and Akikawa Masaru also liked it, and so did Tonbo. In short, this sport... will definitely bring you benefits if you don't give up." said Ishibashi Takamasa.
"Yes, I know." Zhou Xiao nodded and said.
Although Tamori is still in high spirits, Zhou Xiao's group has to leave, after all it's already past four o'clock and almost time for dinner. Having a casual lunch here was already a compromise for this group of people, they must go to a proper place for dinner.
"Shall we go with Zhou Xiao?" asked Ishibashi Takamasa.
"I won't go, I'll take the night flight back tonight and there are still some things to do at the company tomorrow." Zhou Xiao waved his hand in refusal. In fact, he didn't have anything special to do, but after spending a day with this group of people, Zhou Xiao had already sensed something. When they wanted him to do something, they basically wouldn't ask him out loud but would directly take him along, and at 18 years old, he hadn't had any room for refusal. But if they did ask him, the implication was actually very simple - Zhou Xiao just needed to find an excuse to refuse.
"Alright then, we'll be off first." Ishibashi Takamasa nodded at Zhou Xiao and turned to leave.
The ones left on the court were only Zhou Xiao and Suzuki Gen, who had been calling himself a golfer all day.
Suzuki Ko's status is not low either. But it's clear that he's slightly inferior to the group of people just now, and more importantly, Suzuki Ko was invited to teach Zhou Xiao how to play ball, so they have a working relationship. Suzuki Ko is paid for his services, so when it's time to eat, he didn't go with them either.
"Suzuki-san, shall we return to Tokyo?" asked Zhou Xiao.
"Well, I'm also going back to Tokyo. Let's take the same flight back." said Suzuki Ko.
"But before that, you promised me something..." Ringo Henshō, who was over 30 years old, felt a bit embarrassed to be chasing after a young girl for an autograph, and asked cautiously.
"Signature? Come on, I'll sign for you, any amount is fine." said Zhou Xiao.
The two of them arrived at the front desk and asked for paper and pen. Zhou Xiao held the pen and asked, "What's your daughter's name? What should I write?"
"Her birthday is on April 12th, let's just write some birthday wishes."
"What's your daughter's name?" asked Zhou Xiao.
"I love you."
"Love reason?"
"Right, Airi."
"Ai Li!!!", Zhou Xiao inhaled a mouthful of cold air.
Suzuki... Airi!? This... this...
Airi Suzuki, a member of the C-ute subgroup within Hello! Project, although not a direct member of Morning Musume, has experienced a unique history within the entire Hello! Project family. This girl can be said to be the most popular idol in the Hello! Project family, with a very special low-pitched voice and impressive singing skills. With her perfect idol looks, it can be said that this girl is one of the extremely rare, almost perfect existences in Japanese idols.
"What's wrong?" asked Suzuki Ken, looking at Zhou Xiao's surprised expression with a puzzled look. His daughter's name wasn't particularly famous, so why did the young man in front of him look so shocked?
"Oh? Oh! Nothing, the name sounds good, Suzuki Aili, ah, it's really nice. Tell me about your daughter, so I can think of what to write for her birthday wishes." Zhou Xiao quickly adjusted his emotions.
"My daughter, she especially likes you..." A gentle expression appeared on Suzuki's face as he said in a doting tone: "Back when you weren't famous yet, my daughter bought your CD at the music store. From then on, she liked your songs. And that movie 'A Litre of Tears' you were in, we went to the premiere and sat near you."
"Is that so? What a pity it is that I didn't get to know you and your daughter sooner." Zhou Xiao thought.
"It would be good enough if you could bring your signature to her," said Suzuki Ko.
"I don't know if your daughter has any plans to enter the entertainment industry?" Zhou Xiao asked cautiously.
"Indeed, I had this idea and discussed it with her mother. We thought of sending her to Hello! Project Kids." said Suzuki Ken. This so-called Hello! Project Kids is similar to AKB48's research students in the future, also similar to Johnny's Jr., all are places that cultivate young children.
"I actually think... it's not necessary to send the kids to the agency so early." Zhou Xiao said carefully.
"Oh? Why?" asked Suzuki Ken.
"A relatively normal childhood is very precious for children, and instead of training in a business, it's better to hire a teacher to train them in singing and acting skills. This way, they can be free and receive tailored education that won't waste their talent. Just because someone enters the kids' program doesn't mean they'll definitely make it into the morning show later on. Take Kohmi Hirose for example, she was selected through an audition. As long as a child has enough talent, I believe they'll definitely succeed in the future." Zhou Xiao said this, but he didn't dare to reveal his own idea of establishing a girl group in the future. He's still too young, and even five years later, he'll only be 23 years old. At that age, setting up an idol group would surely face great resistance, and there will definitely be many fans who will say that the group is just a way to select a harem for Zhou Xiao. But that's five years from now, as for now, five years ago, not only establishing a group but even casually mentioning it, Zhou Xiao can be said to have zero appeal. It might even cause other people's fathers to become anxious.
"That's also reasonable, I'll go back and think about it." said Suzuki Kentaro.
"In short, be careful, this is a matter that concerns the child's whole life." Zhou Xiao suddenly became a guardian of justice, caring about the mental health of the strange girl.
"To Aili, wishing you eternal happiness and joy. Happy Birthday - Zhou Xiao."
"How is it?" Zhou Xiao handed the paper to Suzuki Gen and asked.
"Alright, thank you!" said Suzuki Ken.
"No need to be so polite, can I get your phone number? Golf is quite fun, if you have time, I'd like to ask you to continue teaching me." Zhou Xiao took out her phone and asked, but whether it was really because of golf, nobody knew.
"Alright, my phone number is..." The two exchanged numbers and finally left the stadium, heading to the airport and flying back to Tokyo.
After parting with Suzuki Ken, Zhou Xiao went home to sleep. The next morning, he rushed to the company because Uncle Inoue had called last night, saying that Zhang Yu, the only employee who could speak Chinese in the company, had asked for leave due to a family matter and the Twelve Tone Girls, originally taken care of by him, couldn't find anyone who understood Chinese to accompany them.
