70 Blind Date (2)

It happened that the blind date time was just the same day as the new version of the comic boy was launched on the market. Fortunately, the specific time for the blind date was in the afternoon, and the sales activities at 12 o'clock will not be delayed. According to Ai Fei's order, the school children's club, in addition to leaving a limited number of people to stay behind and answering calls from various places, all other people will go out to the streets, mainly to observe the specific sales activities. In particular, there should be no situations such as early release and chaos.

Not only the company's employees, but even himself, left home early and came to the sales site of Mr. Zheng You who had cooperated with him to observe and help the other party prepare the food: "Ah! Are you here? Long time no see? Are you doing well all the time?"

"Yes, I'm very good. Thank you for your concern. Oh, Mrs. Zhengyou, thank you for your hard work."

"Hi Yi!" Zhengyou's wife kept bowing: "Long time no see! I wish you good health."

"Thank you." Ai Fei smiled and chatted with her: "How is it? Is the sales of comics okay in recent times?"

"Okay, very good! Not only the original comic sales, but some new comic sales industries are getting better and better. Well, the latest issue is said to be sold at 12 o'clock according to regulations. Oh, I really don't know who came up with such a ghost idea!"

Zheng You glared at his wife: "Hey, don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and help me move the box out."

"Hi Yi Hi Yi!" Aunt Zheng You didn't dare to refute her husband's words, so she obediently walked into the newsstand, moved out a few cardboard boxes, and opened it in the street, and the full comics and boy magazine was exposed. Zheng You took out one and clamped it with a clip. Immediately, readers came over: "Hey, Uncle Zheng You, get me one."

"It's not OK yet! According to others' regulations, this period will not start selling until 12 o'clock!"

"Eh?" The reader who walked over was stunned: "But, the family in front has already started selling it? Uncle Zhengyou, don't be so rigid, give me one quickly, right?"

"No, no!" Zheng You kept shaking his head: "Regulations are regulations, we must abide by them. I'm sorry." The reader wanted to buy them, but Zheng You didn't sell them, and the two of them became stalemate.

Ai Fei heard it clearly next to him. There was already something sold in front of him? No need to ask, someone who was worried that the work would not be sold out was taken in advance. Well, I have to write it down carefully! He walked behind the reader: "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing!"

"Eh?" The man turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from you, is anyone selling it before?"

"Hi! Not far away, um, there are three boxes of magazines, and they were sold out soon. I was just a little late and didn't buy them." The young man sighed: "I don't know which hateful guy is, but he actually came up with a way to sell them later? Ah, it's so cold, hey, aren't you cold?"

Ai Fei shook his head silently, raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was just past 11 o'clock. On such a cold morning, the readers were waiting in the wind. Maybe he was really wrong? Looking back at the young man, even his nose was flowing down: "Why don't you... wait for a while to come again?"

The young man sucked his nose: "How can this work? I asked for leave from the company for today's comic sales! Hello, don't you know? This time my work was also created by the author of "Crayon Shin-chief"! Well, "Crayon Shin-chief" is my favorite. Oh, my name is Kimura, where are you?"

"My name is Takagi." Ai Fei made up a pseudonym: "What, is that "Crayon Shin-chan" very good?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why am I standing here and waiting in such cold weather? Ah!" As he spoke, Kimura sneezes a big sneeze.

Ai Fei smiled: "Is that so? I have always seen comic works like this. Do you like it very much?"

"Hi Yi Hi Yi!" Kimura nodded, and moved back and forth: "Actually, I only found out by accident..."

This reader who also wants to take leave to buy it in the cold weather is Tae Kimura. After half a year of training, he has become a die-hard fan of Ai Fei's works. Not only is "Crayon Shin-chief" and "Dragon Ball" a copy that he must buy every month, but even the recently promoted comic boy has attracted great interest, especially when he knew that this work was written by Ai Fei, he felt itchy. He just hoped that the work would be launched quickly and feasted his eyes. However, when it was almost time, the school children's club actually launched a new regulation. This time the work will be released at a fixed time across the country?

At first, like many other readers, he thought it was a joke. He thought he would go back immediately after buying it, but he never thought it was true! It seemed that he would have to be cold for a while!

The two were chatting, and not far away, Sakai Shima came out from somewhere. She saw Ai Fei having a very happy chat with a stranger. The latter did not dare to get close and waited far away. Ai Fei saw him and waved to him: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Hi! There is a family in front..."

Ai Fei interrupted him: "I know this. Let's discuss it when I go back. Well, it's what Mr. Kimura told me."

“…………”

"That's what you said, someone sells it in advance."

"Yes! Uncle Zhengyou is unwilling to break the rules. Oh!" Kimura sneezed again, looking like he was froze.

By around 11:40 noon, more readers came to Uncle Zhengyou's newsstand one after another. The readers' complaints kept floating in the cold wind: "Baga! It's a terrible idea. How could anyone be willing to arrange such a sales method at such a moment?"

"...Hey, uncle, it's already time?"

"...Uncle, start quickly. It's too cold!"

"Ah? Thank you for your hard work! I'm sorry!" Kumamoto ran to the newsstand: "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." He leaned his head and looked at the clocks in the newsstand: "Please wait a little longer. This matter is not something I can decide. Since I have agreed to others, I must keep my promise. Please wait a little longer!"

"Mr. President, it seems that the sales are in good condition! I just saw it at other sales points in front, and it is probably the same. The places that were released in advance have been sold out."

“…………” Ai Fei touched his hand in his pocket: “Do you have cigarettes?”

"Hey? Hi Yi!" Sakai Nanma pulled out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

Ai Fei lit a cigarette and spit out a cigarette ring: "Saki Kun, do you think that this sales activity has made me simple?"

“…………”

Before Sakai Nanma thought of a suitable sentence to comfort him, a crisp ringtone rang out of the newsstand, and Masayo walked out of the newsstand: "It's starting! Please line up to buy, please!"

He stayed in front of Masayo's newsstand for about an hour. In fact, the sales of the new comic boy ended in half an hour. For the rest of the time, he just stood aside and watched quietly, smoking a cigarette, and didn't know what he was thinking. Sakai Shima beside him, and Masayo and his wife were eager to collect the money not far away, and no one dared to come and disturb him.

Finally, Ai Fei snatched out the cigarette butt: "Hey? Why are you still here? Have you... been here all the time?"

Sakai Nanma smiled bitterly: "Hi! Because I don't know what else does Mr. President..."

"You go back. I have something else to do. I'll go back in the afternoon. Oh, when you go back, you'll talk to Fujikun and Nishio and the others, this afternoon, in the conference room, at 3 o'clock, I'll definitely rush back before 3 o'clock. Have a meeting. Let them make some preparations."

"Hi. I understand."

In the lobby of the Summer Palace Hotel, Ai Fei and Mrs. Takagi who were in charge of bringing her here were sitting in a corner of the hall, drinking coffee: "It's the first time I've had coffee when I ask Xiao Ai Jun's blessing!" Mrs. Takagi, wearing a kimono, tasted the deliciousness of the coffee in small mouthfuls and said with a smile.

"If you like, can you ask for another cup?" Ai Fei answered absent-mindedly, his eyes slipping around. The blind date did not come, and Yugong Jingzi did not come. Several guests were sitting in groups of three or three on the sofa in the hall, chatting in a low voice.

"Ah, no! I heard that drinking coffee will make people unable to sleep. Is that true? Hello, Xiao Aijun? Xiao Aijun?"

"Ah! Yes. What?" Ai Fei turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

Mrs. Takagi's face was full of ambiguous smile: "I know, Xiao Aijun has been waiting for her blind date today, right? Believe me, I won't let Xiao Aijun down."

"Hey? Where?" Ai Fei scratched his head childishly: "I just feel... it's too troublesome for my business, and I feel a little embarrassed."

"Don't lie to me? 15. Xiao Aijun is already the 15th boy to have a blind date arranged by me. Do you know what the 14 boys in front end will end?"

"Of course they all succeeded?"

"Hi Yi!" Mrs. Takagi raised her head proudly: "14. All of them have succeeded! Xiao Aijun thinks that her blind date will be like the other 14 happy boys? I think I must have hoped to get a beautiful and virtuous wife, right? Well, Mrs. Yukiko is very kind to me, so, about Xiao Aijun's affairs..."

Mrs. Takagi kept talking, Ai Fei had long since run to where he went. What should I do in such a cold winter? I want to spend an afternoon here? When I think about it, I really didn’t consider my mother’s feelings, and I refused again. Well, why didn’t Aomiya come yet?

"Hey, Xiao Aijun, Xiao Aijun?"

"Ah? What are you doing?"

"They are here."

Following Mrs. Takagi's gaze, two women came from the lobby of the hotel. One of them was a little older, and he covered the hem of the kimono with one hand, and moved quickly in small steps. After a while, they came to them: "I'm sorry, we're late."

"Where is, I have just arrived." Mrs. Takagi introduced him: "The other party's referee, Mrs. Ichizawa, this is Ai Feijun."

"I'm rude." Ichize bowed to Ai Fei and said, "I am Akiko Ichize, please take care of me."

"I am Ai Fei, please take care of me."

"This..." Ichizawa gave a little to the side: "Miss Nori Kazuo."

Only then did Ai Fei see clearly the girl who was dating her blind date today. Her appearance would never be more than 20 years old, with single eyelids, slightly swollen eyes, and nose... it was quite straight, with two tiger teeth supporting it outwards, adding a bit of cuteness to the young girl. She looked very pretty, but she was also a typical Japanese girl's appearance, and she was definitely not beautiful. There was sorrow between her eyebrows. Was she forced to go on a blind date like this? For a moment, Ai Fei felt a little sympathetic to the girl.

"Please sit down." Mrs. Takagi misunderstood. Seeing Ai Fei's eyes were a little straight, she thought he was very satisfied with his arrangement! Look, isn't he even unable to turn his eyes? No need to ask, you can add another sum to your successful record!

The four people sat back, and Ai Fei waved his hand: "I'm sorry?"

"Hi Yi!" A hotel waiter walked in quickly: "Sir, what do you need?"

"What to drink?" Ai Fei looked at the new Mrs. Ishizawa and Miss Heyuan: "Coffee, is it OK?"

"Uh...Hi Yi!" After asking No Hui Kawagen, Mrs. Ichizawa nodded: "Come four cups of coffee."

"Hi. Please wait, come soon."

When the waiter walked away, Mrs. Takagi, who was the man's referee, introduced him: "... Xiao Aijun is very influential among the people in Ueno District! If Miss Heyuan has paid attention to it, you should know..."

Ai Fei sat aside and listened to Mrs. Takagi's constant bragging for her, a strange thought came to her heart: If she was not a reborn person, she was still living a cowardly life, or continued to go to school with her schoolbag every day, would anyone contact her for a blind date? Will Mrs. Takagi still be so enthusiastic?

Finally Mrs. Takagi ended the introduction and returned the topic to Ai Fei: "Xiao Ai Jun? Xiao Ai Jun?"

“Eh? What?”

"It's time to explain Xiao Aijun's situation to Miss Heyuan in person?"

"Hey? Is Mrs. Takagi's introduction not perfect enough? Or do you think I have any unknown side - when my mother asked you several times?" This was the first time that the few people here experienced Ai Fei's strange way of speaking, and were stunned for a moment.

Ai Fei took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket as if no one was around him, took out one and lit it: "What's wrong?"

Yugong Jingzi appeared at the entrance of the Summer Palace Hotel on time. You could see Ai Fei holding a cigarette in his hand from afar: Why did you start smoking?

Ai Fei also saw Yugong. In order to make it easier to fall into the hotel today, she wore a purple coat. The wind blew the hem of the coat, revealing the graceful body inside. The way she walked over attracted the guests in the hotel to look at each other: "I'm sorry, I'm missing a little."

Yumiya Jingzi glared at him angrily and set a distance from him: "Mr. President..."

Ai Fei smiled badly: "It's coming very on time! Well, you really have the talent in this area."

"Are you really going to leave like this?"

"Do you think I arranged my secretary here just to let others appreciate your beauty?" Ai Fei smiled wickedly: "Wait for me."

Back at the side of the seat, facing the puzzled eyes of the three women, Ai Fei smiled awkwardly: "I'm very sorry. You saw it just now. The company's people suddenly came to me and there is a very important thing to go back to handle. Today's... Let's get to this for the time being, is it OK?"

Through Mrs. Takagi's introduction, the other two people knew that although he was young, he was the president of a company. Now that he heard that he had something to do, several people couldn't tell the truth and false, they quickly got up and said, "Then, please go slowly."
