Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 219

After looking Uesugi Kenichi up and down, the saleswoman smiled and asked, "Are you looking to buy casual wear or formal attire?"

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Kenichi said, "Formal attire, please."

After hearing what Uesugi Kenichi said, the saleswoman nodded slightly: "Then you can come and take a look at these outfits over here. They are all our newly launched clothing, and they have a particularly good reputation. You can try them on."

The saleswoman took down two suits and handed them to Uesugi Kenichi.

After receiving the item, Kenichi Uesugi was led into the dressing room by the female sales assistant.

After changing his clothes, Uesugi Kenichi came out and looked at himself in the mirror.

The saleswoman looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a hint of amazement in her eyes and exclaimed, "Sir, you look so good in this outfit! It suits you perfectly."

Uesugi Kenichi remained silent after hearing this.

As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha," and this is no joke.

His 1.8-meter height was accentuated by the suit, making him appear even more imposing. He wore a white shirt with a black jacket, a classic black and white combination.

Uesugi Kenichi raised an eyebrow at himself in the mirror, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes shining like stars. He was quite pleased with himself.

"How much?" Uesugi Kenichi asked.

The saleswoman was staring blankly at Uesugi Kenichi in the mirror when she heard what he said and then she realized what was happening.

"This is one of our newly launched styles. The current price for one set is 23888," the saleswoman said with a smile.

Lin Wen remained outwardly calm, but his heart skipped a beat – it was so expensive!

Okay, please wrap this set up for me first.

Finally, Uesugi Kenichi walked out of the store carrying two sets of clothes, feeling a pang of heartache as the two sets of clothes cost him nearly 6 yen.

You can't blame him for this. Anyone who used to wear clothes that cost no more than a few hundred dollars would react the same way if they suddenly spent so much money on two sets of clothes.

Finally, Kenichi Uesugi returned home around 5 p.m. carrying a bunch of things.

This afternoon alone, including those two outfits, I spent nearly 8 yuan.

It was only through constant swiping of his credit card that Uesugi Kenichi finally realized he was truly wealthy. He no longer had to worry about prices and could buy whatever he liked. When he saw two pairs of shoes he liked, instead of constantly comparing which one to buy, he could buy both.

It feels so good to be rich. No wonder countless people are willing to give up everything for money, abandoning their principles, their families, their conscience, and disregarding the law.

After putting everything away, Uesugi Kenichi sat down and rested for a while.

He took out his phone to check his messages. After popping up in the group chat, he specifically checked to see if Jiang Qingqing had sent him any messages. He didn't see any from her, and for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.

I wanted to send her a message but didn't know what to say. I edited it several times, but he deleted it all.

Kenichi Uesugi shook his head and exited WeChat. He then logged onto Weibo.

After logging in, I found that there was already a verified label. The verified information was: Singer, representative works: "Enduring the Cold Wind for You" and "Twelve".

After the two songs were uploaded, many people who had heard his songs came to his Weibo account to follow him.

His Weibo post from yesterday already has 70,000 to 80,000 comments.

He received countless private messages, and Uesugi Kenichi picked out some important ones to read.

As he was browsing, several messages caught his attention. Several entertainment agencies wanted to sign him.

Uesugi Kenichi secretly wrote down the company's name, planning to search for it later to see if it was a scam.

After watching it, Kenichi Uesugi opened the NetEase Cloud Music platform.

After a day, the number of listens and downloads for both songs increased dramatically.

The song "For You I Endured the Cold Wind" has reached number 19 on the new song chart, and it has also entered the top 50 on the monthly chart, ranking 48th.

Twelve is slightly behind, currently ranked 32nd on the new song chart, and has not yet entered the monthly chart.

As he was looking at it, Uesugi Kenichi noticed several official notifications on his account.

Upon opening the message, I discovered it was a notification from NetEase Cloud Music staff expressing their desire to secure an exclusive contract for these two songs.

After reading the terms they offered, Uesugi Kenichi agreed to their request.

The two songs have been exclusively signed, the platform will promote them heavily, and the revenue sharing ratio will be greatly increased.

Kenichi Uesugi would naturally not refuse such a condition, although he could also choose not to sign the contract and instead upload the song to another platform.

However, even if you list it on another platform, your earnings may not necessarily increase significantly, because many people download songs on multiple apps simultaneously. If you've already downloaded the song on one platform, you naturally won't download it again on another. There will be a large overlap in the number of users downloading the same song.

Therefore, being exclusive to him is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it can further expand the influence of these two songs.

After finishing his business, Uesugi Kenichi checked the time and it was almost 10 o'clock, so he took a shower, packed his luggage, and got his high-speed rail ticket for 1 pm tomorrow to go to Yuecheng.

After tidying up, Uesugi Kenichi lay on the bed and chatted with the people in the book club for a while. After being captured by the group, it took him half a day to escape.

After scrolling through my WeChat Moments, I prepared to rest.

Just as he was looking at it, a post suddenly caught his eye.

Uesugi Kenichi was scrolling through his WeChat Moments when he suddenly saw that Jiang Qingqing had also posted an update.

The image shown above is a picture.

He clicked to look and saw that she had her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a tight-fitting dance costume that perfectly accentuated her figure. One of her two long legs was raised high and placed on the horizontal bar, as she was doing a leg press, and she was smiling brightly at the camera.

"She's really beautiful," Uesugi Kenichi thought to himself, especially her smile, which seemed to dim the surrounding light.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Kenichi took out his phone and sent a message to Zhou Yuqing, whose contact name was "Yingying Monster".

I have to go out of town tomorrow, but I'll take care of the music for you when I get back. What kind of dance are you planning to choreograph? That way I can prepare in advance.

Zhou Yuqing sat in the chair, took out her phone, looked at it, and then put it down. She had been struggling all day with whether or not to send him a message, since she had suddenly hung up the voice call last night and didn't know if he would be angry.

She was overjoyed to see the message from Uesugi Kenichi.

Chapter 355

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yuqing typed.

"Go to Yuecheng," Uesugi Kenichi typed in reply.

"How long are you going to be gone?" Zhou Yuqing pouted, a little unhappy to hear that he was going to such a far place.

I don't know exactly how long I'll be gone, but I should be back soon. I'll let you know when I get back.

Okay, it's settled then. When you get back, tell me that we want to create a dance similar to a folk dance. We already have some ideas, so the music should ideally be something with traditional instruments and a slow, soothing rhythm.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Kenichi said, "I think I understand what you mean. When I get back, I'll take a look at your situation and see how to make things more suitable."

When Zhou Yuqing mentioned folk dance, a dance and a piece of music immediately came to mind for Uesugi Kenichi. In Uesugi Kenichi's world, there was a dance called "Liren Xing" that quickly became a hit online, along with its background music "Shuangmian Yanxun"!

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of dance Zhou Yuqing and the others needed until he saw it, Uesugi Kenichi thought that the two-faced Yan Xun would definitely satisfy them.

Even dancing it like the one in "The Beauty Walk" isn't impossible, since the dance's popularity online undoubtedly has its unique aspects.

Thinking that Zhou Yuqing could perform a dance like this, a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

Zhou Yuqing rested her hands on the table, her two fair legs swinging restlessly back and forth.

Okay, I'll show you when I get back.

After sending the message, she immediately felt her face burning. She gently patted her cheeks to calm down, and was somewhat afraid to look at what Uesugi Kenichi had replied.

Once they started talking, the two chatted about everything under the sun. At first, Zhou Yuqing did most of the talking, with Uesugi Kenichi occasionally asking questions. But as the conversation flowed more freely, Uesugi Kenichi began to reveal his true nature, throwing out all sorts of jokes that made Zhou Yuqing laugh out loud several times. She couldn't help but gently cover her mouth with her hand, but even so, her beautiful eyes narrowed with laughter.

The two chatted more and more happily, and a smile involuntarily appeared on Uesugi Kenichi's face.

Zhou Yuqing lay on the bed, her two fair legs swinging restlessly back and forth.

She didn't know what it felt like to like someone. Although she was never short of suitors, she couldn't explain why she only felt this strange feeling for Uesugi Kenichi. She couldn't help but want to chat with him and wonder what he was doing.

He could make me feel gloomy and listless all day long just because of something he said.

She was never like this before; she felt like she wasn't even herself anymore.

Is this what liking someone is? Zhou Yuqing thought to herself.

In the pitch-black night, she lay on her side, opened her eyes, and stared blankly at the hand placed in front of her, occasionally letting out a silly smile as if she were thinking of something.

As the night deepened, after putting down his phone, Uesugi Kenichi pulled the covers up and turned to sleep.

In his dream, he seemed to see a girl reaching out her hand to him. He tried hard to see the girl's face clearly, but he couldn't. Only a pair of star-like eyes were looking at him. When he also reached out his hand to the girl, her eyes curved into a smile.

Ding ding ding, an alarm clock rang.

Kenichi Uesugi picked up his phone in a daze and glanced at it.

Seven-thirty.

He struggled to get out of bed, washed up, ate breakfast, and then turned on his computer, hoping to write a few more chapters of his novel while he still had some time.

After opening the backend interface, I uploaded today's chapter first.

He then looked at the readers' feedback in the book review section. Apart from discussions about the plot and some nonsense, most of the comments were urging for more updates. Even though he was now updating five chapters a day, readers who had previously experienced twenty chapters a day were not satisfied. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

After reading the comments section, I checked the current data for The King's Avatar. Thanks to the extensive promotion by Feilu Novel Network, the book's clicks and recommendations are now on a steady upward trend.

September has only been going on for a few days, and the number of monthly passes has already reached 100,000.

The number of alliance leaders has also increased significantly, and it is now approaching six hundred.

However, he didn't say any more words of thanks. He promised to update every day and bring more exciting plots to the readers who like this book, which was more effective than him saying thank you ten thousand times.

At 10:30 a.m., after saving the chapter he had typed, he checked his backpack again to see if he had everything ready: his ID card, phone, keys, and charger.

After making sure nothing was left behind, I picked up my backpack, locked the door, and went downstairs.

The journey from his home to Jiangcheng High-Speed ​​Railway Station takes about an hour by car, but a taxi would be faster, taking almost an hour.

After booking a car online, he arrived at the high-speed rail station at 12:00. His train was scheduled to depart at 1:15, so he still had time to spare.

After picking up the tickets, I went to KFC and ordered a burger combo meal to finish my lunch.

I have to say that things at the train station are really expensive; even a bottle of mineral water costs five yuan.

After a period of crowding, he finally boarded the high-speed train to Yuecheng. After putting his luggage away, Uesugi Kenichi felt a little unsettled.

One reason is that I have never traveled to such a far place alone before. Jiangcheng and Yuecheng are more than 1000 kilometers apart, one located in the south of my country and the other in the central region of my country.

On the other hand, it's because he hasn't seen his father, Lin Yi, for almost half a year.

His father went to work in Yuecheng when he was in high school.

Year after year, nearly five years have passed, and the family can only reunite once a year.
