On the third floor of the Ginza Building, next to a jewelry store, is the NTT (Japan Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation) business office.
In 1996, there were no specialized mobile phone dealers, and most mobile phones and BP machines were sold jointly by the manufacturers and telecommunications companies.
It is also very easy to get it. You just need to fill out a lot of complicated forms, pay high communication fees, sign a contract for a few years, and you can get a brand new mobile phone.
Originally, it should have been like this.
Makoto Sakaki, Ran Maoli and the others came to this telecommunications business office.
At eight o'clock in the evening, there were not many customers in the business hall, only a few.
The incandescent light in the glass display case was a bit dazzling. As soon as Makoto Sakaki walked into the business hall, a receptionist with a brown ponytail came forward to greet him.
"Welcome to NTT. What business would you like to handle?"
“I want to buy a mobile phone.”
Sakaki Makoto said bluntly.
But when he turned around, he saw the receptionist with a shocked look on his face.
"First, sir, you..."
Nanami Aoyama covered her mouth, very surprised.
She still remembers Sakaki Makoto clearly.
“Huh.”
"Have I seen you before?"
Sakaki Makoto felt that the receptionist in front of him looked familiar.
"ah!"
Mao Lilan shouted: "She is a clerk in the convenience store!"
Sakaki Makoto suddenly remembered.
He was the clerk with a sweet smile, speaking with a Kansai accent, and who was slow to hand over the heated bento to his client.
"Don't you work at a convenience store?"
"Why did you come to Ginza?"
"I didn't think he was fired because of a robbery."
Sakaki Makoto frowned. If that was true, he would have to go and talk to the convenience store owner.
It wasn't the girl's fault that she got robbed, so why do you fire her?
Besides, isn’t there any financial loss?
Only one glass cabinet was broken.
"No, it's not!"
Nanami Aoyama blushed and said with her head down: "This is my second job... I will go to the convenience store after get off work..."
Sakaki Makoto subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall.
Well, eight o'clock.
Nanami Aoyama looks young, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, the same age as Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo.
Shouldn't girls of this age live a free and happy life?
Why do you work until midnight?
Sakaki Makoto didn’t take it seriously last time, but this time he’s going to ask about it.
“Are you a student?”
"Yes, Suimei University of Arts High School, sophomore year."
Nanami Aoyama tied up her hair.
He is indeed a high school student.
Sakaki Makoto continued to ask:
"Why are you still working so late?"
"Are you short of money?"
Aoyama Nanami was a little flustered. She blushed and said, "I, I want to learn voice acting. The training tuition at voice actor agencies is very expensive."
“So I have to work more jobs…”
I see.
She is a strong girl who can move forward unswervingly for her dream.
Sakaki Makoto stopped asking because he saw the determination in the other person's eyes.
"Please introduce the set menu to me."
"Yes, please follow me."
Nanami Aoyama brought Makoto Sakaki to the counter and took out some flyers.
"Look, sir, this is our most favorable package."
"You can get a cell phone and communication service by paying 30,000 yen in advance."
“And you only need to fulfill the two-year contract, and the monthly communication fee is the lowest.”
In order to repay Makoto Sakaki, Nanami Aoyama took out the most affordable set meal in the store without hesitation.
This is a package only available to internal staff, and she doesn't get a penny.
But Makoto Sakaki had helped her before, so she would do her best to repay the favor.
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, Kudo Shinichi curled his lips and asked unhappily: "When I came here just now, the clerk didn't offer me this set meal..."
"Alright, Shinichi."
Mao Lilan stopped him: "Stop talking, it's all the same."
Nanami Aoyama's thoughts naturally did not escape the eyes of her childhood sweetheart, the famous detective.
Raising opinions at this time would only embarrass Nanami Aoyama.
Kudo Shinichi was just complaining subconsciously, with no intention of embarrassing Aoyama Nanami at all.
He immediately shut his mouth and shrugged apologetically.
"How about this, sir? Would you like to choose this set?"
Nanami Aoyama smiled warmly.
"Well, this is it."
Said Sakaki Makoto.
No matter how you look at it, this package is the most affordable.
Sakaki Makoto had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Nanami Aoyama took out a contract.
After Sakaki Makoto signed his name on it, he took out ten Fukuzawa Yukichi notes from his wallet.
The monthly package fee is 30,000 yen, which includes a deposit of two months and a payment of one month's rent, plus a handling fee of 10,000 yen.
Gin gave him 150,000, which was more than enough for the package.
Even Mao Lilan's new mobile phone only cost 150,000 yen.
After taking the banknote, Nanami Aoyama bent down and started to search through it.
The business hours are about to end, the customers in the business hall are leaving one after another, and the clerks have begun to finish their work.
Looking at the manager standing at the door and bowing deeply to every customer, Sakaki Makoto felt quite emotional.
From the perspective of service alone, Japan's service attitude is indeed the best.
“Here’s your phone.”
Nanami Aoyama handed over a square box.
