139. Its absolutely impossible for me to work part-time at the beginning of the new year!

...

Tokyo, Chiyoda, Yamazakurain.

"Finally home!"

Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this small Western-style building hidden in the increasingly dense bamboo forest.

Although my home in Shizuoka is very warm, but my father and mother are there, I always feel like I am being controlled, and I never have the freedom to relax in my own home.

Nagayama Naoki hung the rope at the door that his mother asked to bring, and then opened the door.

I haven’t been back for a week. Even in winter, there is still dust and smoke accumulated in the room.

As expected, it’s better to do the first general cleaning of the new year by yourself.

Naoki Nagayama turned on the record player, picked out a jazz record at random, put it on the record player, and began to roll up his sleeves and clean it up.

It starts with a simple trombone, and after the beautiful strings, comes the solo of an old man. It is obviously a melancholy and low-pitched voice, but it sings the most open-minded and beautiful hope - "What a wonderful world."

Nagayama Naoki stopped and slowly enjoyed this jazz masterpiece.

The sky rarely clears up in winter. In the blue sky, long white clouds drift slowly with the wind.

The green plants in the courtyard are still strong in this cold weather, and the touches of green seem to have hidden last year's spring here, waiting to be released again this year.

Warm sunlight shines into the living room through the open glass door. The fresh and cold air blows up the invisible dust in the air and throws it into the light, covering them with a shiny coat. As their eyes slowly fall,

, and eventually became invisible again.

It is indeed a wonderful world

...

In the soothing music, Nagayama Naoki spent more than an hour cleaning the Yamazakura Yard.

Consciously clean all the places that need to be cleaned,

So I poured a cup of tea and sat down on the sofa...it was so comfortable

Just when I was about to turn on the TV, I noticed that the indicator light on the phone was flashing. Is there a message?

Before leaving, Nagayama Naoki changed the automatic reply message to "The master has returned to his hometown for the New Year. Even if something happens, he can't be found."

Logically speaking, no one should leave a message. After pressing the button, the messages will be played one by one.

"Happy New Year Naoki-san!" It was actually Akina calling.

"I received your gift. I will definitely cherish this song "SedLove" by Arigado! It would be great if it could be used as a debut song."

"The training will start after the new year. I won't be able to see Naoki-san for a long time."

Then he added, "In the new year, Akina Nakamori will work harder to become the idol she aims to be!"

The last sentence actually uses a baby voice like a child's milky voice...

Sure enough, he is still a child who has not grown up yet.

This message was followed by Wonta Nakai: "Have you actually returned to your hometown? Naoki-san, what you heard when you came back is what I said a year ago. Happy New Year!"

"I'm taking Suzumi Hoshino back to my hometown to meet her parents this year. I might send an invitation early next year to come, hahaha."

Ha, have you met your parents yet? It looks like you are going to get married this year.

The third message is from a salesperson... Are they so dedicated? Are they working overtime during the Chinese New Year?

The last one actually belongs to Kuniji Morikawa. Didn’t we just meet him a year ago?

"Naoki-san, Happy New Year. I'm calling to tell you the good news. The foreign translation of "Summer's Court" is now available. If you have time after the year, please discuss it in detail."

Oh? Is it actually going to be published abroad?

Naoki Nagayama thought about calling Kuniji Morikawa, but when he touched the phone, he shrank his hand...

Come on, it’s only the fifth day of the new year!

You actually want a job?

As a programmer in my previous life, I had to go to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I almost never changed this habit!

Ha, you still want me to work part-time, but that’s impossible!

Nagayama Naoki turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, and restarted his decadent New Year's Eve.

...

The net income before the year was 500 million, plus the disco, the rent of two shops, and other income, after excluding taxes and fees, Naoki Nagayama's assets have reached 600 million.

His bulging wallet made him eager to buy land again.

With this capital, should I be able to buy an office building in Chiyoda? Or continue to buy a larger shop in Shibuya?

What a worry

It looks like I’m going to trouble Ms. Keiko Fujita again after work.

While watching TV, Naoki Nagayama thought about buying a house. After struggling with happiness, he decided to leave this problem to his old friend.

Then I thought about filming a movie in the New Year. The three members of the Wildcats also had to find a way to run it, and the newly signed Junko Sato also started thinking about making a debut...

Wait, wait, didn’t you agree not to work part-time?

Why are you thinking only about work?

Naoki Nagayama suddenly found that he was surrounded by "mundane things" one after another, as if they were all goals to be completed in this year. In this way, it can be said that he would be busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Already

This is very different from the life in poetry and distance!

Feeling this, Nagayama Naoki immediately cleared his mind,

I began to focus on the weird Showa variety shows on TV, paying attention to the interesting interactions between the hosts and guests, and wanted to put those things behind me.

Looking at the composition of the variety show, Nagayama Naoki actually started to compare it with later variety shows.

Just this host's complaints are not good, the jokes are not dense enough. If I were to hold a complaint conference, it would definitely be more effective than this.

As long as we invite a few outdated celebrities, or celebrities with bad spots, to come to the show to complain about themselves or even each other, isn't that more interesting than the host? The audience will definitely laugh.

And celebrities, they must also be eager for exposure, and TV stations must be able to accept this novel program format...

If you think about it this way, the possibility of success is actually pretty good?

If the show becomes popular, it will definitely make a lot of money

Shall I go? Why do you think about making money again?

.......

Naoki Nagayama felt that something was really wrong today. All he could think about was making money.

Why do you feel like your life in this new year will be tied to your career?

But obviously I already have the capital to have wealth and freedom,

Do you actually want me to be sucked away by life like a top?

No! It’s absolutely impossible for me to work part-time at the beginning of the new year!

Nagayama Naoki turned off the TV a little depressed and decided to play the piano.

In the past, the rational left brain dominated thinking. If you switch to the emotional right brain, you should be able to get rid of the idea of ​​making money all the time.

A somewhat impatient melody came from the window of the piano room,

As time passes, the sound of the piano slowly becomes soothing,

On a whim, Naoki Nagayama played the song "Whatawonderulworld What a wonderful world," on the piano.

I seem to have imagined that wonderful world in my mind...

Then another melody sounded in my mind,

The melody in the piano room also changes inadvertently

Sure enough! It was something hidden in the subconscious that caused it again.

I knew there must be some reason for this inexplicable emotion!
