With the first ray of sunshine, Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes,
I finally had a full sleep, and I feel that starting from this morning, I have truly adapted to life back in Tokyo.
Toasted two slices of bread, fried bacon, and heated a glass of milk.
Naoki Nagayama held the dinner plate and ate breakfast in the corridor.
The early morning sunlight falls in the courtyard, and the green plants in several flower pots appear full of vitality. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard have withered, and there are no other flowering plants in the courtyard. We can only see the green vitality in the dry landscape.
I called my home last night and planned to go back to my hometown today to deliver gifts and pick up Taro Taro by the way.
The house has been empty for several days, which is really a bit deserted.
Just as Naoki Nagayama was carrying the gifts to the car, Otomo Yoshimura called.
"Naoki-san, it's working! There's no negative news about our movie in today's newspapers." Yoshimura Otomo said excitedly, "Should we stop too?"
"Why stop?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "It's not us who are anxious now."
"But if we continue like this, it won't be good for us, right?"
Nagayama Naoki said nonchalantly: "If we just give up like this, what will happen next time someone wants to throw dirty water on us?"
"Forehead....."
"If little people in school want to avoid being bullied, establishing an impression that they are not bullied is the first step."
Nagayama Naoki slowly said, "Whether it is becoming a student with excellent academic performance, becoming a member of a group, or training oneself to have a strong body, it is all possible based on this premise."
Yoshimura Otomo was silent for a moment and asked: "How far does Naoki-san want to achieve?"
"At least, someone from Dongei needs to contact Otomo-san and choose to 'make friends' with Otomo-san." Nagayama Naoki said, "At that time, depending on whether the person contacted is a friend or an enemy, we will see if we can discuss cooperation~
"
"Can Toei still discuss cooperation?"
"Why not? Haven't you heard of it, Otomo-san? There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" Naoki Nagayama felt like he was possessed by "The Godfather" now, but he actually spoke eloquently.
"Hey, I get it." Yoshimura Otomo sighed, "With Naoki-san, I feel that all the difficulties I face have become easier."
"Hahaha, Otomo-san, you are so concerned that you are in trouble. In fact, as long as you don't take the future development of the office to heart, you can make a decision easily!"
"...Naoki-san" Yoshimura Otomo was silent for a few seconds, "What you just meant is that you don't take the development of the firm to heart, right?"
"Um...I can't understand it this way..." Oh no! He accidentally said what he was saying. Nagayama Naoki hurriedly found an excuse, "It's just from a higher perspective that I can't be immune to it."
Interference considerations…”
Yoshimura Otomo didn't care what the reason was, he roared angrily: "Please show some concern! The office is not owned by Shuichi-san and I!!!"
"Hi! I'm really sorry!" Nagayama Naoki could only admit his mistake honestly, "I will definitely care more!"
...
After finally getting through Yoshimura Otomo's nagging, Naoki Nagayama finally hung up the phone.
I breathed a long sigh of relief. I must pay attention next time when I speak~
After thinking about it for a moment, there was nothing left behind. Naoki Nagayama closed the door, started his car, and headed for his hometown in Shizuoka.
Under the bright sunshine, a black convertible sports car is running on the seaside road. On one side is the undulating scene, on the other side is the lush spring.
The country music tape just brought back from the United States is playing on the car stereo. The soothing guitar and lazy voice make people slow down their thoughts and enjoy the rare spring time in a relaxed way.
I have traveled back and forth from Tokyo to Shizuoka several times. This time I completely ignored the wild flowers and grass on the roadside and arrived in Shizuoka in only 2 hours.
When I saw that familiar small building, it was not yet noon.
I parked the car next to me, took the big bag on the passenger seat and pushed open the courtyard door. I heard a barking sound, and then a white dumpling came in front of me.
"Yangtaro?!"
Nagayama Naoki was surprised. This is his own little guy? It has grown from the original calf height to the knees. However, it is common for puppies in the growing period to grow a little taller in one month. But what is the reason for this chubby figure?
Something happened!
A good Labrador is about to turn into a Chow Chow!
"Naoki, you're back!" My mother opened the door after hearing the noise outside. She saw the large and small bags Naoki Nagayama was carrying, and quickly helped to carry them, "Are there so many things?"
"Hey, these are all gifts I brought back."
Nagayama Naoki put things in the living room, then pointed at the timid Yingtaro outside the door and asked: "Gasang, Yingtaro, what's going on?"
The mother didn't feel anything at all: "Yutaro is still growing. The dog food you brought back was not enough, so your father and elder brother brought some leftovers from the izakaya for him to eat."
"...The dog food I brought back is two months old..."
"Is that so? But Taro Ying is always complaining about hunger."
"Okay..." Nagayama Naoki called to Bai Tuanzi at the door, "Yutaro, come here~"
We haven't seen each other for more than a month, which is a long time for a puppy, and Taro can't even recognize him, but the familiar call still prompts Taro to slowly move towards Nagayama Naoki.
It wasn't until I smelled the scent of Nagayama Naoki nearby that I wagged my tail again and again, and made another squeaking sound next to Nagayama Naoki.
Squeezing the flesh on Yutaro's face with his hands, Nagayama Naoki was helpless: "Yutarou, you have to lose weight at such a young age~"
At this time, the puppy was still happily rubbing against Naoki Nagayama.
At noon, when he saw his mother making a large bowl of food and putting it in Taro's rice bowl, Nagayama Naoki knew that this little guy had a long way to go in losing weight.
...
The afternoon was spent teasing Taro and chatting with his mother.
Regarding foreign things, of course I picked some interesting places to introduce, but then I didn’t mention things like graffiti and gangsters at all.
The silk scarf and bag I brought to my mother were very satisfactory. When I was shopping for groceries in the evening, my mother actually wanted to carry a Chanel bag to the vegetable market. Fortunately, she gave up in the end because of the capacity.
Luxury goods almost become a vegetable basket~
The yard in my hometown is very big. After his mother went out, Naoki Nagayama trained Taro in the yard. There were no tennis balls for the time being, so he used branches instead~
Although he is a little fat, the little guy is still very energetic when running. He holds a few pieces of dog food as a reward and learned to pick up the thrown branches after a few times.
If you learn to catch the Frisbee in the future, you will always be a pure Frisbee dog~
After playing for more than an hour, Yotaro was so tired that he stuck out his tongue. Nagayama Naoki also felt that his arms were a little tired. During the intermission, Nagayama Naoki heard the sound of pushing the door.
"Ni-chan, you're back!" Before he saw anyone, he heard Tsuruko's enthusiastic call, "Where are you?"
"Backyard..." is just a door away, and you can see it no matter what. It can be seen that what Tsuruko is asking is not Nagayama Naoki himself, but the gift that he has been talking about on the phone since last night.
There was nothing he could do to deal with this sister. Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to go into the living room and take out the prepared perfume.
"Now, this is your gift~"
"Hey, didn't you say it's a bag?" He said this, but his hands took it quickly, and then quickly unpacked it.
Inside the box is the classic Chanel No. 19 perfume. The simple crystal bottle contains a concentrated combination of white and green flowers, with a fresh and natural floral fragrance.
"What kind of bag do you want? You're still in school! You can't encourage vanity so early~" Nagayama Naoki looked at Tsuruko who was admiring the perfume, and spoke with sincerity like an old-school parent.
"Bang~" Tsuruko let out an unhappy sound, then opened the perfume cap. When he pressed it, a fresh fragrance appeared in the living room, and Taro next to him was so stimulated that he sneezed.
"It smells great~" Hezi sniffed the perfume and was very happy. He thanked her sincerely, "Ni-chan, Arigado, welcome home~"
"As expected, it's true that when you see a rabbit, you don't scatter a hawk? If you don't have a gift, you won't be welcome~"
"No way~" Tsuruko immediately changed the subject, "Ni-chan, is America interesting?"
"Forehead......"
I just said it to my mother in the afternoon, is it possible that I have to say it again? Then do I have to say it to my father and eldest brother again in the evening?
But at this time, I couldn't find any good solution, so I could only pick some things to talk to Tsuruko.
...
"Can Ni-chan actually meet acquaintances in the United States?"
"Not just acquaintances, but also made a few friends." Until dinner, Naoki still didn't stop.
"Speaking of which, my English was very poor when I was studying in high school. Why is it that it doesn't matter at all when I go out this time?"
"Um...for things like English, you still need to talk to foreigners more. The more you talk, the more proficient you will become."
Fortunately, students didn't like to mention studying at home, and Tsuruko quickly stopped talking, otherwise Naoki Nagayama would still have to find reasons to explain.
After my father and elder brother came back after 9 o'clock, they naturally opened the gifts again.
The father was very satisfied with the handicrafts, but the eldest brother felt a little unnatural when he looked at the brand-new fishing equipment. He silently complained to the younger brother: "Why are there fishing equipment every time? Am I destined to become a fisherman?"
"We need to communicate properly when chatting in the future. We need to change the direction~"
Of course, I also talked about some overseas situations with my father and elder brother, but mainly about experiences such as diving and graffiti. The harmonious atmosphere lasted until the break~
...
The next morning,
"Ni-chan~ Can you please not take Taro Taro away~"
Tsuruko held on to the little guy tightly and refused to let go, completely ignoring Yutaro's movements to escape.
"Without Ying Tailang, the family will be too deserted! Are you right? Ying Tailang!"
After saying that, he pinched the puppy's cheek meat with his claws. Sure enough, after he gained weight, he could even pull it into wrinkles~
My mother couldn't help it anymore: "Who said it would be deserted? With you here, the house is so noisy! How much has Taro Ying been bullied by you!"
"No way! No way! How could I bully Taro Ying!"
But the little dog’s barking can’t be faked, and the pitiful little look in his eyes made Naoki Nagayama a little unbearable,
"Okay, look, I've raised Taro to be so fat. I'm going to take him back to Tokyo to lose weight!"
"Hey...but I don't want to leave him~"
"Aren't you going to Tokyo in April? You can see it then."
Speaking of this, Nagayama Tsuruko became happy again: "Yes, Ni-chan will entertain me well then!"
He said as if he hadn't treated her well before: "If mother wants to come to Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms, she can come with Tsuruko~"
Nagayama Nanako did not refuse the kindness, but said that she would ask her father if he was free at that time.
On the way back, Yantaro was very excited. He didn't know whether it was because he hadn't ridden in this convertible for a long time, or because he escaped from the clutches of the devil.
"Yingtaro, you have to lose weight after you go back~ I will set a strict exercise time for you, so stick to it!"
"Woof woof~"
Yamasakura-in has regained its vitality due to the arrival of the owner. This time, with the blessing of Taro Taro, the originally quiet courtyard became a little more lively.
After taking off the little guy's leash and letting him run around as a dog, Nagayama Naoki listened to the phone recording,
Sure enough, Yoshimura Otomo called again, but this time it was not a matter of public opinion reporting, but Junko Ito's song was going to be on the night hit program. The program team wanted to invite guests to the stage, and the producer Naoki Nagayama received the invitation.
.
Nagayama Naoki called back, and as it was approaching noon, Yoshimura Otomo was still at the studio.
"Otomo-san, I remember Junko-chan has already participated once, right? Night hit studio."
"Hi, when we first debuted, we requested it from the TV station. This time, the song entered the top ten of the rankings and the program team invited it." Otomo Yoshimura explained, "To put it simply, it means spending money and not spending money.
the difference."
"But for the sake of the program's effect, the production bureau specifically expressed its request to invite Naoki-san through me. Does Naoki-san want to go?"
Nagayama Naoki didn't care, he just wanted to support the idol of the office, the main thing was to see if he was free.
"What's the specific time?"
"It's expected to be a week later, March 30."
After thinking about it, it should be fine: "Okay, then I'll go and participate!"
.......
On the other side, Toei's office,
After meeting with clients in the morning, Toshitaka Yamamura, the head of the planning and sales department who had just returned to the office, took advantage of his free time before lunch to browse today's newspapers.
I found that some media actually had comments about "The Gas Station Robbery Incident", and they were still related to Toei's movie.
I felt angry and shouted outside the office: "Nakano! Come here!"
As the assistant to the minister, Toru Nakano naturally knew about the newspaper reports and was prepared to be scolded, so he hurried into the office.
"Nakano! What's going on! Didn't you tell the newspaper not to report anymore?!" Toshitaka Yamamura yelled, "Why are there so many more!"
"Mr. Yamamura, I have already understood the situation. Several newspapers are affiliated with Shuyu Pictures. They do not want to buy our face through Kadokawa's connections."
Nakano Tooru had already made many phone calls in the morning, "Other newspapers are owned by our competitors, and they seem to have seen Shuyou Pictures' behavior and are adding fuel to the flames!"
"How can it be repaired? These jackals! When they see a wound, they want to bite it!" Yamamura Toshitaka calmed down a little, "But why do Shuyou Pictures dare to be so presumptuous? It's just a small production company that has just emerged. I don't know the power of Toei.
?"
Nakano Toru reminded: "Mr. Yamamura, it is precisely because they are just a small production company."
"You mean?" Yamamura Toshitaka was angry again, "Are they trying to blackmail Toei?!"
"It's just a nobody dressed in rags, lying in front of the rich man's house hoping to get a benefit." Toru Nakano said with disdain in his tone, "And the rich man was afraid of kicking his dirty clothes and dirtying his shoes, so he gave him a piece or two.
Send it away."
Yamamura Toshitaka understands that this is a step up for him to find an assistant, but at this time he does not want to let the matter continue to ferment. If he is reprimanded by the head of the department again, this year's year-end bonus may be reduced by a lot.
"Yes, Toei's reputation is more important. Nakano-kun, please contact them~"
