Nagayama Naoki spent the past two days very regularly and healthily: he went for a morning run in the morning, ate some healthy breakfast after returning home, practiced piano or read some literary classics in the morning, and went to a high-end restaurant outside for lunch.
After lunch, watch TV or go for a walk in the park or have a cup of tea with Mr. Qingshan. In the evening, cook or order takeout. Then go for a walk. After returning home, watch variety shows or cartoons, and read some classics before going to bed.
...
A life without having to worry about money can be so boring sometimes.
Although this kind of life was comfortable, it was also very dull. After a few days, Tianyongshan Naoki couldn't stand it anymore.
People always have to find something to do for themselves.
He once again found the architect Naoya Sakata. It wasn't that he didn't want to find Takashi Honma, but he seemed to be attending a training class abroad. All domestic business in Japan was temporarily left to Naoya Sakata and another designer.
Nagayama Naoki and Sakata Naoya met once and felt that their abilities were okay, so they planned to continue entrusting them.
"Naoki-san, there are two projects this time."
"Hi, both of them are renovation projects. One is a disco that is currently in operation. It is mainly an adjustment to the internal decoration. The requirement is speed to minimize disruption to operations; the other is an old house renovation. The amount of this project is
It’s relatively large and doesn’t require much time, but it does require redesign and planning.”
"Hey, I understand!" The two projects together are estimated to cost tens of millions, which is a big order for a small architectural firm.
Next, Naoya Sakata carefully inquired about the needs for renovation style and budget, and then proposed to go to the site to inspect and measure the dimensions.
"Go directly to the disco and talk to Manager Araki. I have already said hello. He will fully cooperate with you." Naoki Nagayama took out the key to Gingu Watch Shop and gave it directly to Naoya Sakata. The place was eerie.
He didn't want to go for the time being, "I'll give you the key to Silver Valley. You can go and see it anytime."
The two agreed to communicate after the design sketches were drawn. Nagayama Naoki was not worried about the quality of the design. After all, there was a designer in the office to help.
...
After lunch and resting for a while,
Taking advantage of the spring sunshine in the afternoon, I decided to take Taro Taro for a walk.
Along the line from Ueno to Akihabara, I thought I could finally visit the shops in Akihabara. Although I pay on time every month, I don’t want to visit the shops under my name.
I don't feel very at ease.
Ueno Park in spring is a rare place to enjoy cherry blossoms in Tokyo. The 1,200 Somei Yoshino cherry trees are so grand that they immediately outshine the Meguro River.
The very interesting development game "Sakura Wars" of later generations seems to have been shot here. The beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in full bloom has made many game lovers never forget it.
On a weekday afternoon, it is not a festival or event. There are only some college students and a few tourists from outside Ueno Park. In addition, Ueno Park occupies a very large area, covering an area of more than 500,000 square meters, so the entire park is
The park seems very quiet.
Naoki Nagayama walked in the park with Yotaro, looking at the monuments that were obviously more numerous than other parks, such as Tosho Palace, Qingshui Hall, Saigo Takamori Bronze Statue, etc., and he was also flipping through related memories in his mind.
It feels very interesting.
When they reached the bronze statue of Saigo Takamori, Nagayama Naoki pointed at Saigo Takamori who was also holding a puppy and said, "Yutaro, look at this little dog, it's much thinner than you."
But Taro Taro sneezed indifferently, and then actually raised his hind legs on the base of the bronze statue...
"Hey, Tailang, you are a little too disrespectful of historical celebrities."
The journey from Ueno to Akihabara is not far or close, but there are all kinds of small shops along the streets, so you won’t feel tired while shopping.
Nagayama Naoki bought a croquette on the road, took Yutaro to eat it together, and wandered slowly to Akihabara.
Naturally, his own shop was open. There was a constant flow of people in the Electrical Appliance Street, and there were many people coming in and out. It seemed that the business in the store was good, so Naoki Nagayama did not disturb him too much.
Of course you have to take a bus from Akihabara back to Chiyoda, otherwise you will be exhausted today~
When he returned to Sansakura-in at almost 5 o'clock, Yotaro was already a little listless. After entering the door, he lay on the blanket in the living room and refused to move. He didn't even take a few sips of water.
Naoki Nagayama feels fine. His young body has great endurance. After walking for almost an afternoon, he is only slightly stiff.
Looking at Ying Tailang, he smiled and said: "Ying Tailang, if you do this a few more times, maybe you can lose weight~"
...
At nine o'clock in the evening, when Nagayama Naoki was watching TV,
The phone rang again.
The ringing tone of this old-fashioned phone was really scary, so Naoki Nagayama decided to change it to one with a softer ringing tone.
Otherwise, you will always be disturbed by the "Midnight Ring".
"Moses, Moses, this is Yamazakura-in."
"Good evening, Naoki-san~" Nakamori Akina's distinctive voice came from the other side of the microphone, but she sounded a little tired.
"Ah, it's Akina-chan~" Naoki Nagayama turned down the volume of the TV. Akina-chan must be busy making her debut at this time. Could it be that she called me suddenly because she sent the photos?
"Did Akina-chan receive the photo?"
"Hi, I received a photo album from Naoki-san. It's very beautiful. Thank you very much! I haven't returned to the apartment in the past two days, so I only saw it today, Private Marseille!"
Akina Nakamori said while flipping through the photos. In fact, she just returned to her apartment in Tokyo today. After returning from the United States, she has been running promotions in major cities. If there was not a TV program tomorrow, she might be in the car now.
Up here.
"Are you so busy before you even debut?"
"Hey, I have been promoting in various places since I came back from the United States." Nakamori Akina's voice sounded tired.
"Can rest time be guaranteed?" Nagayama Naoki heard this and was a little worried.
When an idol first debuts, it is actually not the busiest time, because he has no fans and no reputation, so there won’t be many notices coming to him. However, the busiest time is when he is rising, and running around is commonplace.
However, a Kenyin office like Akina Nakamori, which is backed by a large consortium, cannot match the intensity of promotion in the early stages by a small office.
"Actually, it's not bad. For a long time, I was driving in the car." Akina Nakamori seemed to be a little proud, "At that time, I took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep, haha."
He forced himself to tell jokes like this, obviously because he didn't want others to worry about him, and his attitude of trying so hard to think about others was so stubborn and pitiful that he couldn't continue to say comforting words.
Slightly silent, Naoki Nagayama carefully avoided digging further into this aspect, respecting Akina's mood.
Decided to change the topic:
"Akina-chan, has your debut song been decided?"
"Hi, it's "Slow Motion", it was just decided yesterday." Xiao Mingcai thought of something else, "Private Marseille, Naoki-san's "Second Love" was not selected."
"Hahaha, what does it matter? As long as Akina-chan sings it~" Nagayama Naoki didn't care if it was a debut song. It was originally a song for Akina.
"By the way, how did you choose your debut song?"
"We filled out a questionnaire and let the audience choose." Akina seemed to be interested, "I went back to the school where I went to school a few days ago, and then I asked my former teacher to let the students listen to the four alternative songs, and then I asked my former teacher
My classmates filled out the questionnaire... Hahaha, I feel like it’s a lot of trouble for everyone~"
"What's the matter? Everyone must be looking forward to Akina-chan's singing."
The conversation started, and Akina's experience during her return to China was euphemistically explained. After returning to Japan, she became even busier due to work, and she didn't even see her mother more often.
"There's nothing we can do about it~" Nagayama Naoki comforted himself, "I came to Tokyo to work after graduating from high school. I only had one phone call a month and couldn't see him more than a few times a year."
"Then Naoki-san won't be homesick?"
"If you miss home..." In fact, in my memory, I really didn't think much about it in the first year. I was busy chasing stars. "I probably didn't think much about it at the beginning. Instead, I felt like I was free, hahaha~"
"Hahaha, are you free?"
"Isn't that right? Isn't there anything Akina-chan couldn't do at home before?"
"Haha, you're right. In the past, we couldn't watch TV until 12 o'clock at home."
"Eh? Akina-chan is actually a TV fan?"
"Hi, please call me TV Series Akina~"
"Hahaha~"
...
The atmosphere became more and more relaxed, and the conversation lasted until 11:30, when the phone call between the two ended.
Later in the conversation, many work-related matters were also involved. Nagayama Naoki also felt some pressure implicit in Nakamori Akina's chat. For example, he was surrounded by adult colleagues and no one listened to his opinions.
Just like young people who have just entered the workplace, facing a new field and different colleagues, their initial mood must be uneasy, and for their relatives, these emotions are generally too embarrassed to express. At this time, they must either digest it themselves or
Find one or two friends to go out for a drink and chat,
Among Akina Nakamori’s friends, they are either former classmates who cannot understand the current work situation at all, or they are new colleagues who are older and are not very familiar with them yet and cannot complain about their work.
Nagayama Naoki happened to be the right age and had a good relationship, so he played the role of such a close brother.
