I run a tofu shop, and you want me to go to Akina Mountain?

Chapter 396: Met an Enthusiastic Fan

After finally turning a corner, I was blocked by a pile of rocks. Fortunately, there was still some space, so I managed to get through.

Fujiwara Takumi actually had an early plan and booked a B&B in Hokkaido. He told everyone when they arrived at the destination, because no one knew how long they would stay this time. Everyone was very happy to enjoy the scenery of Hokkaido, especially Uehara Mika, who loved the B&B they chose.

At this time, Hojo Rin called Fujiwara Takumi: "Hey, the car repair department needs you to come over, when can you arrive?"

Fujiwara Takumi thought that since he was specifically asked to go, it must be a complicated matter, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. After all, a car is like life to a racer, let alone a master like Fujiwara Takumi.

"Okay, I'm free anytime... What's the problem? Isn't it an engine failure?" Fujiwara Takumi's tone was full of nervousness, and his palms were wet.

While eating, Mika Uehara said vaguely to Kazuo Karasawa: "Hey, Fujiwara Takumi doesn't look right."

"What did you say?" Karasawa Kazuo looked at her in confusion, and Uehara Mika smiled and replied, "No, it's true that my hearing is not very good."

Hojo Gou was speechless to Uehara Mika. His hearing was very good. "It was Hojo Rin who called him. Something must have happened. The car didn't seem to just break down."

"What?!" Uehara Mika was worried about Fujiwara Takumi. If there was really a problem with the car, it was understandable that she was worried that Fujiwara Takumi would be upset.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, and Fujiwara Takumi asked anxiously: "Hojo Rin?! Hello?! Speak up! Isn't it anchored?! Is there another problem that I haven't noticed?!"

"Well, Fujiwara Takumi, it's hard to explain over the phone right now. How about this, you come over first, I'll send the address to your phone, and we can talk about it in detail when we meet?"

Sure enough, there were some things that Hojo Rin didn't dare to say directly on the phone. He felt that face-to-face communication would be more appropriate. Anyway, Fujiwara Takumi treated him pretty well.

"Really... I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

"Is he coming or not?" the clerk was a little anxious. Hojo Rin straightened his back immediately when he heard it: "Why are you so anxious? Let me tell you, my friend is amazing."

"He will be there." Hojo Rin hesitated for a moment, but still said it. Although he was a little hesitant, he did not feel guilty. However, the clerk did not buy it and rolled his eyes at him.

There was a reason for looking for Fujiwara Takumi. He was the only one who carried a large amount of cash with him along the way. He said it was for emergency use. Now it seems that it really came in handy.

As expected, racing is Fujiwara Takumi's life. He rushed to the maintenance company almost like flying, and as soon as he arrived, he hurriedly asked Hojo Rin: "What's wrong with the car? Where is it?"

"Oops, I forgot my wallet."

After hearing this, Fujiwara Takumi ran to the front desk to check out without saying a word. The manager came to inspect and was stunned when he saw Fujiwara Takumi.

"You, you are the God of Cars?! Fujiwara Takumi the God of Cars himself?" I didn't expect that the manager was actually a super fan of Fujiwara Takumi and recognized him at the first sight.

Fujiwara Takumi did not deny it, and the manager excitedly stretched out his hands: "Can I... shake your hand?" Fujiwara Takumi shook his hand, and the manager was so excited that he was at a loss.

After a while, the manager came to his senses.

"Oh, our company is having a racing party, can you come and attend?" The company is called Ishihara Maintenance Company. It is well-known in the maintenance industry and is not small in scale, so the party is naturally not small.

Hojo Rin was the most excited. She leaned over to Fujiwara Takumi's ear and whispered, "Is it hard to turn down a fan's invitation? Accept it. It's definitely worth it!"

Fujiwara Takumi originally had no such plan, but after being persuaded by Hojo Rin, he agreed.

The manager took a photo with his idol as he wished, got his autograph, and chatted with him for a while. He felt satisfied but remembered that he still had to work.

"Oh, idol! Work is important, I may not be able to accompany you. Well, there are delicious food and drinks on the fourth floor, please help yourself."

Fujiwara Takumi was not angry at first. Seeing his fans adore him so much, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a line and he said seriously:

"It's okay. Just do your thing. My friend and I will check on the car repair."

When talking about the car, Fujiwara Takumi remembered that Hojo Rin called because of the car, and he became even more anxious. The manager said loudly:

"Idol, this order is free for you!"

Fujiwara Takumi stopped and shook his head to refuse: "It's not easy for everyone to make money."

Meaning: It's really unnecessary, after all, it's all hard-earned money. As a result, the manager had a better impression of Fujiwara Takumi: considerate, positive, and able to understand that it's not easy for others to make money!

The manager had nothing more to say and took the elevator back to his own business. In the elevator, the sound of footsteps was so gentle that one could imagine how happy the manager was.

After they left, Fujiwara Takumi started to get anxious: "Hey, you asked me to come over here, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the car?!"

Hojo Rin felt like her head was a mess: "Actually, I forgot to bring my wallet." After saying this, Fujiwara Takumi suddenly realized and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Okay, you are a driving god now. I will take you to meet the boss of this company." Hojo Rin grabbed Fujiwara Takumi's sleeve and pulled him into the elevator without saying anything. You know, the boss's office is on the 38th floor.

The two had a lot of time to chat in the elevator.

Are you in such a hurry to take me to meet the boss of the company? Can I really meet him?

Hojo Rin vaguely felt that Fujiwara Takumi seemed to underestimate her: "You can say that I'm poor and that I haven't seen the world, but this is the head office and the bosses all work here."

The 38th floor may not be high, but in the blink of an eye they were standing in front of the office door. When meeting his boss for the first time, Fujiwara Takumi found that he was not what he had imagined:

The boss of Ishihara Company is a middle-aged man, and the words "Ishihara Ueno" are clearly printed on his business card.

"Nice to meet you." Ishihara Ueno extended his hand and motioned for a handshake. Fujiwara Takumi responded politely, followed by Hojo Rin.

"Are you Fujiwara Takumi?" His tone was filled with curiosity. Seeing that Ishihara Ueno was so familiar with him, Fujiwara Takumi responded softly.

After confirming that the man in front of him was Fujiwara Takumi, Ishihara Ueno smiled, obviously having a good impression of Fujiwara Takumi.

Although he is a boss, he is not old-fashioned. He is passionate about racing and is therefore a fan of Fujiwara Takumi.

"Please sit down." Ishihara Ueno politely invited the two to sit on the leather sofa, and then the assistant brought coffee and pastries. Fujiwara Takumi took a bite, and the three of them sat around and chatted.

"I've seen Mr. Takumi's driving skills. Do you want to join our dinner? It's related to racing. I think Mr. Takumi should be very interested, right?"
