Not long after I put down the phone, the phone in the living room rang.
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in~"
"Naoki-san, good evening~" came the distinctive sweet voice from the other side of the microphone, it was Akina Nakamori!
"It's Akina-san~" Nagayama Naoki also returned in surprise, "Didn't you say you were training behind closed doors? How can you still make phone calls?"
"Hahaha, how could you have such an idea? Taking classes is not like going to jail~" Akina Nakamori was amused, "It's just like a private tutor, teaching some things like singing, body shape, etiquette, etc."
It feels the same as our Junko Ito... Is there nothing special about a big office?
"Eh? Didn't you learn any special and interesting skills?"
Xiao Mingcai seemed to think for a while: "As for special skills...ah, there are some!"
"Nani Nani?"
"That's it - laugh! Smile~"
Listening to Xiao Mingcai's Japanese-accented English, Nagayama Naoki also laughed: "Hahaha, Smile? What kind of skill is that?"
"Don't underestimate it~" Akina said in a serious tone, "As an artist, you must always maintain the most dignified and sweet appearance. During the performance, no matter what situation you encounter, you must smile!"
"Akina-san, those words just now were said by the training teacher, right?" Nagayama Naoki instinctively felt that Akina-chan would not say such profound words.
"No road race! Anyway, you just have to keep laughing!" Xiao Mingcai seemed to have been poked in the valve, and said in a loud voice.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, you have to smile~ Always smile, good luck will come naturally~"
"I just said some weird things~" Xiao Mingcai didn't think much about it, "By the way, Naoki-san, I called today because I have something serious to say."
"Business?" After saying this, Nagayama Naoki also sat upright, "Then please tell me, I'm all ears~"
"Naoki-san, don't make trouble~" Xiao Mingcai continued, "The staff of Warner Pioneer hope to chat with Naoki-san about "Second"
"Love" copyright purchase issue."
"Ah, that's it~ That's no problem~" I thought it was such a big deal, but it turned out to be just a song.
"Hi, are Naoki-san free tomorrow? My colleagues in the company also want to talk in person."
Tomorrow~ I have an appointment with someone in the morning~
"I have something to do tomorrow morning, but I have time in the afternoon~"
"Hi! Let's set it in the afternoon then. I'll ask for the time and I'll call you later." Xiao Mingcai hung up the phone angrily and went to confirm the specific time.
"Um..." Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Nagayama Naoki was a little speechless. He was still a child after all~
...
After a while, Akina called to confirm the time for tomorrow afternoon.
Just in time, I will have a big meal at noon tomorrow, and I can also have a big meal in the evening. How happy~
At his feet, Taro Taro was wrestling with a teething stick.
Nagayama Naoki remembered that a large package of things he bought before contained teething sticks specifically for puppies, so he took one out.
"Yingtaro, I'm going out for a big dinner tomorrow, what should you do?"
Of course it’s not realistic to take it with you. After all, it’s a high-end restaurant and the conversation is business~
Yamazakuin's housekeeping aunt comes to clean up once a week. She just cleaned up two days ago, and she can't help with feeding.
Or come back at noon?
Taro didn't feel his master's troubles at all and kept biting the teething stick, making a whirring sound from time to time.
...
There was nothing to say all night. The weather was still sunny the next day, but the temperature kept hovering in single digits.
As usual, I asked Taro to solve the problem under the cherry blossom tree. In the past two days, he had dug a small hole and spread it with a layer of plant ash. There was also a special jar for plant ash in the corridor next to it. Every time the little guy finished solving the problem, he had to sprinkle it.
Last one.
Now that he is officially raised, he still needs to make good preparations.
The little guy's day consists of eating, drinking, and having fun, and Naoki Nagayama is really envious, unlike him who has to go out to work today.
"Ying Tailang, the responsibility of looking after the house is still left to you!"
After feeding the little one and himself, Nagayama Naoki was ready to go out. First, he had to go to the studio and make a copy of the script.
Itou Shuichi is always at the studio. Does he live nearby? I have never asked. Anyway, when you want to find him, you can definitely find the studio.
"Naoki-san, you have been very energetic these past two days!" Itou Shuichi was very surprised to see Naoki Nagayama coming so early. In the past, he could only call people out of his house.
Naoki Nagayama did not respond to his teasing:
"Shuichi-san, please give me a copy of the script. I know an actress who is currently scheduled. I want to see if she can join in."
"Oh? Is there an actress that Naoki-san knows?" Itou Shuichi suddenly became curious. The guy who usually seemed like an honest man had actually put his hands into the entertainment industry.
"Who is it? Do I know him?"
"My name is Tanaka Yuko, who recently appeared in "Hokusai Manga". Do you remember Shuichi-san?" Naoki Nagayama introduced casually.
"Oh? The heroine of "Hokusai Manga"? I heard that she is a strong contender for the 5th Japan Film Academy Award!" Itou Shuichi was really surprised now, "Naoki-san, it's okay!"
"I always feel like you're thinking of something rude!" Naoki Nagayama got the script, "It's just a casual relationship. Today I'm showing the script to others, so I don't know whether they'll come or not."
Itou Shuichi said with a smile on his face: "Naoki-san, don't worry, I have full confidence in you... Oh, I don't have confidence in your script!"
I continued to chat with Itou Shuichi about the casting situation, and the time soon reached 10 o'clock.
The appointment with Yuko Tanaka was at 11 o'clock, it was time to set off.
"Just get the stack, straight tree mulberry, it's up to you!"
Itou Shuichi cheered from behind, while Naoki Nagayama had a black line on his head.
"This guy Itou Shuichi..."
...
The hotel we made an appointment with is located in the port area. It is a Western restaurant on the second floor. The seats you reserved can see the open river view outside.
Naoki Nagayama naturally arrived first, so he asked the waiter to sober up the red wine first.
In the era before mobile phones, it was normal to prepare some newspapers and magazines in the restaurant.
But which Western restaurant would prepare a magazine like "Weekly Bunshun"?
Nagayama Naoki was very disdainful, and then decided to criticize it.
"Here, this idol actually..."
Just when he was immersed in watching, a call from beside him woke him up: "Naoki-san?"
Naoki Nagayama put down the magazine and looked back. The person waiting had already arrived.
A beauty in a light blue windbreaker is standing next to her. She does not have the popular saint-child haircut, but has slightly curly long hair, a white beret, and a bright orange scarf that covers half of her face~
Only a pair of unforgettable eyes were exposed, looking curiously at the magazine in Naoki Nagayama's hand.
Nagayama Naoki silently put the magazine aside and pretended as if nothing happened.
