Chapter 571 The atmosphere suddenly became strange(1/2)
After explaining the necessary matters to Anping, Cao Zhiqiang decided to go back to his new house and continue writing "Snow Country" with peace of mind.
But just when Cao Zhiqiang was about to leave, Anping mentioned another personal matter to Cao Zhiqiang.
And this private matter is related to a Japanese girl named Kyoko Koizumi.
"What, Koizumi Kyoko once came here specifically to look for me? He also visited me several times?" Cao Zhiqiang asked with a frown.
Anping nodded: "Yes, this Miss Koizumi has been here almost every day for the past two days, but she can't see you every time. It can be seen that she is very disappointed."
Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "Then how did you answer?"
Anping said: "I'm just going to tell you what you told me at the beginning, saying that you have a social event outside and won't be able to come back for the time being. She asked me who specifically I was socializing with, and I said it was a business secret and I had no comment. Then she didn't say anything.
Ask more.
In the past, she had been insisting on waiting for you here. Every time, she would wait until it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening and I started to chase people away before she left.
I couldn't bear to see it, so I told her, if you don't come back, I'll let you know and ask you to take the initiative to contact her.
But this girl said, don't let me disturb you, and don't tell you that she came to see you, because she doesn't want to distract you because of her, and she doesn't want to disturb your normal work.
Just because she said that, I didn't take the initiative to inform you about it.
But this time, I think it’s better to tell you about it.”
"You did a good job." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
Anping sighed: "Zhiqiang, I can see that that girl is very interested in you.
I personally think that if you don’t want to get along with someone, it’s best to make it clear to her, lest she keep waiting blindly, which is not good for everyone, what do you think?”
Cao Zhiqiang nodded again: "I understand, I will take the initiative to contact her and explain things clearly to her."
"That's good." Anping nodded, "Zhiqiang, I shouldn't talk too much about your personal issues, but after all, you know that your situation is very special, so you must be cautious about this kind of thing."
"I understand." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Don't worry, I will handle it as soon as possible."
"Then I'll be relieved." Anping smiled slightly.
Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and did not leave directly. Instead, he picked up the phone and left a message on Koizumi Kyoko's BP machine.
As a result, after the call was made, Cao Zhiqiang waited for a while, but never received a call from Kyoko Koizumi.
Looking at the time, Cao Zhiqiang probably understood that Koizumi Kyoko was probably working, maybe singing, or taking a photo or something, so he didn't notice the message on the BP machine in time.
This is the case with mobile communications in this era. BP phones are already relatively advanced. As for mobile phones like Big Brother, although they are said to have appeared in Japan, they are few in number and not popular at all. At least Koizumi Kyoko cannot use them.
So being able to use a BP machine, Koizumi Kyoko is already relatively fashionable.
You know, even Nakamori Akina doesn't have a BP machine now.
However, the BP machine can only receive the information from the paging station unilaterally, and there is no way to provide timely feedback. The only way is to find a phone nearby and then dial the number on the pager.
In other words, if he wanted to wait for Kyoko Koizumi's call, Cao Zhiqiang would have to wait here all the time, but this waste of time was what he hated most.
So after waiting for another hour or so, Cao Zhiqiang stopped waiting and told Anping to always pay attention to his phone.
Once Kyoko Koizumi calls, ask Kyoko Koizumi to give her phone number and ask Anping to write it down. Then ask Anping to call Cao Zhiqiang’s new apartment and tell Cao Zhiqiang Kyoko Koizumi’s phone number.
In this way, through Anping's transfer, Cao Zhiqiang can call Koizumi Kyoko's phone number and ask her for a better time and place to meet her.
As for why he didn't tell Kyoko Koizumi the phone number of Cao Zhiqiang's new apartment, it was naturally to keep it secret and he didn't want Kyoko Koizumi to know.
Because if Koizumi Kyoko knew Cao Zhiqiang's new phone number, he would definitely call him at every turn, which would be very troublesome.
Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang has decided to cut the knot quickly and reject Koizumi Kyoko today, telling her not to expect anything from him, and that everyone should just be ordinary friends.
After all, she is now on good terms with Akina Nakamori, at least in Japan, and doesn't want to provoke other women.
Even though Kyoko Koizumi looks cute and takes herself very seriously, if she misses it, she misses it.
After giving instructions to Anping, Cao Zhiqiang walked out, took a taxi on the road and went directly back to his new apartment.
It's great to have money. If you want to take a taxi, you can take a taxi. What stands out is that you feel comfortable and comfortable.
After arriving at the new apartment, Cao Zhiqiang quickly got into the mood and started writing his "Snow Country". He waited until noon before receiving a call from Anping.
Sure enough, the call from Anping was exactly a call from Kyoko Koizumi.
Koizumi Kyoko only saw the information on the BP machine when she was resting, and then immediately found a phone number to call, but it turned out that the person who answered the phone was Anping, not Cao Zhiqiang.
Despite this, Kyoko Koizumi was not discouraged, especially when Anping said that he could contact Cao Zhiqiang and only needed Kyoko Koizumi to provide her phone number and address.
So Koizumi Kyoko immediately told Anping her address and phone number, and then waited patiently.
Anping didn't delay. He hung up the phone number of Kyoko Koizumi and dialed the number of Cao Zhiqiang's new apartment.
Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang had been typing at home and did not go out, so he successfully answered the phone.
The whole process seems complicated, but it fully illustrates how difficult it is to talk to someone on the phone in this era.
Unlike the later era when mobile phones became popular, you could just make a phone call and find someone at any time, which was so convenient.
But having said that, this complicated communication method also saves a lot of trouble, especially for scumbag men and scumbag women.
In short, after getting Koizumi Kyoko's current phone number and address through Anping's transfer, Cao Zhiqiang no longer hesitated and quickly dialed the phone number given by Koizumi Kyoko.
After the phone rang twice, it was quickly picked up, and then the clear and lively voice of Koizumi Kyoko rang: "Moxi Moxi, this is Koizumi Kyoko, may I ask... is this Zhiqiang-san?"
"Yes, I am Cao Zhiqiang." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Hello, Xiaoquan-san."
"Ah, it's really Zhiqiang-san!" Kyoko Koizumi was obviously very excited, "Sorry, I have been working before and didn't see the content on the pager. Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"
"That's not true." Cao Zhiqiang said gently, "I happen to be at work, so I asked my secretary to keep an eye on the phone for me."
"Ah, that's it, haha." Kyoko Koizumi smiled, "Zhiqiang-san, you are such a careful person."
Cao Zhiqiang frowned, but still said gently: "Um, so, Koizumi-san, have you had lunch?"
"Ah, this is it." Koizumi Kyoko looked at the lunch box in her hand, then rolled her eyes and said to the phone, "It's not there yet."
"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Xiaoquan-san, if you haven't had lunch, how about I treat you to lunch?"
"Really? Really?" Kyoko Koizumi said in surprise.
"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I haven't eaten either, so why don't I invite you to eat together. By the way, if there is any better restaurant near you, tell me the name and address, and I will take a taxi there."
"Oh, there is really a pretty good restaurant here." Kyoko Koizumi said with a smile, "Do you have a pen and paper there? I told you to write."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Cao Zhiqiang put down the phone, picked up his pen and notebook, and then said to the phone: "Okay, you can talk now."
After Koizumi Kyoko told Cao Zhiqiang the name, specific address and phone number of the restaurant, and confirmed that Cao Zhiqiang remembered it, he happily hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Kyoko Koizumi giggled happily and stopped eating her lunch. She quickly went to the dressing room to touch up her makeup and change clothes, so that she could look beautiful and go see Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang also washed his face a little, brushed his teeth, and changed into a more solemn suit. Then he walked out, took a taxi, told the master the specific address, and asked the master to take him there.
For these taxi drivers, as long as they have a specific address, they will basically go to the wrong place, and generally they will not take long detours. Especially Cao Zhiqiang speaks an authentic Tokyo accent. If you don't ask carefully, you will think that he is a local at first glance.
people.
Of course, taxi drivers in Japan at this time are generally not talkative and usually quiet, with very few exceptions.
Anyway, after Cao Zhiqiang paid and got off the car, he happened to arrive at the entrance of the Japanese food store.
Before Cao Zhiqiang took his notebook to check whether the Japanese food store was on the right road, he suddenly heard a clear and joyful call: "Zhiqiang-san, here!"
Cao Zhiqiang turned around and saw a man on the roadside wearing high-heeled leather boots, black silk stockings, a light gray plaid skirt, a light gray windbreaker, a white gauze scarf tied around his neck, and a gray shell on his head.
A fashionable girl wearing a thunder hat, big sunglasses on her face, and a smile on her face.
After being stunned for a while, Cao Zhiqiang found that the other party was smiling and waving to him, and then he realized that this fashionably dressed sexy girl turned out to be Kyoko Koizumi.
Sure enough, after the other party trotted over, he took off the large sunglasses that covered one third of his face, revealing the appearance of Kyoko Koizumi.
"Xiaoquan-san?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at the other party in surprise, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"How about it, are you scared?" Kyoko Koizumi stretched out her hands and spun around in a circle with a smile, "Did you not recognize it just now?"
"Indeed." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I didn't expect you to be so...fashionable!"
"Haha." Koizumi Kyoko looked back and forth, then put on his sunglasses again, and then took the initiative to hold Cao Zhiqiang's arm, "I'm sorry, I'm pretty famous now, and I don't want to be recognized, so I dressed up like this.
This is what I do when I see you!"
"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang laughed dryly, "Actually, dressing up like this is pretty good, very...sexy!"
"Really?" Koizumi Kyoko raised her head and looked at Cao Zhiqiang, but because she wore sunglasses, she couldn't see what her eyes were like. She could only see the corners of her mouth turning up, obviously smiling happily.
Cao Zhiqiang swallowed subconsciously, and then said dryly: "Let's go in first."
"Okay." Koizumi Kyoko smiled and nodded, and then continued to hold Cao Zhiqiang's arm without letting go of Cao Zhiqiang's arm. Like a couple, they happily walked into the restaurant together.
After entering, Cao Zhiqiang was about to say hello to the proprietress, but Koizumi Kyoko first told the boss that he wanted a quieter private room.
So the proprietress nodded, smiled and personally guided Cao Zhiqiang and Koizumi Kyoko to a separate private room.
The private room is a traditional Japanese tatami style. You have to take off your shoes first, then go in and sit down on your knees, but you can also sit cross-legged.
After they both took off their shoes and took their seats, and each ordered a set menu, the proprietress went out to make preparations. Koizumi Kyoko stood up again, taking off her coat and hat, taking off her gauze scarf and sunglasses. Anyway, she just took off a bunch of odds and ends on her body.
