What was originally an afternoon for two people instantly turned into a small gathering for three people, and Tsuruko and Akina actually laughed and laughed together. Even Taro was affectionate and flirting with the two girls, while Nao Nagayama was left.
Itsuki worked hard and became a waiter at Yamazakura-in.
"Here comes the tea~" Nagayama Naoki held the plate and served the hot tea, "Ai Nai, do you want some snacks?"
"Arigado, I won't use it for the time being."
The invited host smiled, while the uninvited guest looked disgusted: "Don't you know, Ni-chan? April is an important time for girls, you have to control that...
Calorie intake, Calorie Ni-chan, you know, it’s just calories!”
"How else can I wear those beautiful clothes in spring!"
After hearing this statement, Akina nodded silently and agreed.
Nagayama Naoki was a little speechless. Since he can't eat too much, then Tsuruko...how do you explain the snack bags empty on the coffee table?
Could it be that all the previous snacks were fed to Taro?
"If that's the case, then you can figure it out~ I'll turn on the TV."
Naoki Nagayama has not forgotten the real purpose of Akina's visit, "Speaking of which, Akina, don't listen to Tsuruko's nonsense. You don't have to think about losing weight at all now! It's just right!"
Nakamori Akina's face turned red, but she still said stiffly: "You still have to be careful..."
There were nine video tapes placed next to the projector. Tsuruko had just flipped through them and the order had been disrupted. Fortunately, each video tape was labeled, and Nagayama Naoki found the second episode before stuffing it into the projector.
The TV screen began to play the "Boys Over Flowers" episode that was supposed to be broadcast this Friday~
Nagayama Tsuruko was drinking tea: "As expected, it's good to have a brother who is a director. You can also watch the TV series in advance..."
Yes~ It is still the original version without advertisements and has not been reprocessed by the TV station...
One episode lasted for more than 40 minutes, and the three of them watched four episodes in a row on the sofa in one afternoon. The strange and interesting plot, and the step-by-step emotional changes between the protagonists made the two girls addicted to the drama. Naoki Nagayama was halfway through it.
They also took a walk to relax their bodies, but these two guys couldn't bear to pause for a moment.
I also ate most of the snacks on the coffee table without realizing it.
After the sixth episode was over, Tsuruko wanted to continue playing the seventh episode, but was stopped by Naoki Nagayama.
"You two! You have been watching for more than three hours continuously! That's it for today!" At this time, Nagayama Naoki was like a parent possessed, scolding his daughter who had been watching TV,
"Huh?...."x2
"Ni-chan, there are still three episodes left! Just let me finish it! Please!" Tsuruko tried to pretend to be pitiful, and Akina also made a look of aggrieved plea, but Naoki Nagayama did not let up at all!
"What should I do if my eyes are nearsighted? You should give your eyes a rest at least! Akina-chan, you already wear glasses!"
"Daga! This is just decoration! Decoration!"
The girls on the sofa argued, but Naoki Nagayama had no intention of being accommodating: "Besides, it's already past four in the afternoon! It's time to prepare dinner!"
"But I'm not hungry at all..."
"Who told you to eat so much junk food!" Nagayama Naoki said righteously, "Don't you know that snacks are unhealthy?"... "Didn't Ni-chan buy those?"
"Anyway, dinner should be delicious!" Nagayama Naoki pretended not to hear, and then said, "Now relax your eyes! Come and help in the kitchen!"
Tsuruko grew up in an izakaya family, and Akina’s family also owned a ramen restaurant. The two of them are no strangers to kitchen things.
Moreover, in Japan, when there were two girls in the kitchen, the man Naoki Nagayama was regarded as a burden and kicked out. Watching the two people busy with their hands and feet while discussing the plot of "Boys Over Flowers",
Naoki Nagayama felt that Tsuruko was trying to snatch Akina away...
.......
After about an hour, dinner was finally served.
The dishes on a large table are very rich, including ribs, grilled fish, croquettes, miso soup, seasonal vegetables... The ingredients Naoki Nagayama bought were not wasted at all.
However, the two people who originally ate a lot of snacks and said they were not hungry at all turned out to have a huge appetite after working. They completely forgot about the need to control caloric intake~
It was almost six o'clock in the evening after finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen. Although I still wanted to continue watching, for a single girl, even if she was already familiar with her, it was still not appropriate to stay at someone else's house until the evening.
"Naoki-san, Tsuruko-chan, thank you for your hospitality today!" Akina Nakamori was about to leave, "Although I still want to see it, it's too late, I have to go back~"
"Hey... Akina-chan is actually leaving?"
Tsuruko was a little reluctant to leave. He didn’t have many friends in Tokyo, but after finally meeting them, he still wanted to talk more.
"Hey~ I have to rush to Hokkaido for filming tomorrow morning." Akina smiled. As a popular idol, it is not easy to have a whole afternoon off like this afternoon.
"Then...there's no need to leave so early..."
"Tsuruko, after all, it's not appropriate for Akina to stay here alone too late... Let's get together next time~" Nagayama Naoki stopped Tsuruko's further thoughts of retaining him, and then said to Akina, "Akina
, let me take you back."
"Eh? Isn't that too much trouble~"
"It's okay, it's very convenient to have a car! Pack it up quickly. Tsuruko, help me pack some snacks!"
After saying that, he went upstairs to change clothes. When he came down wearing his coat, Tsuruko was putting snacks in a lacquer box in the kitchen. Nagayama Naoki looked at it and did not go over to make trouble. He passed by the TV cabinet and took the key.
Went to the garage.
The wind at night has a bit of coolness, but the breath of spring neutralizes the cold clothes very well. It only makes people feel clear in their heads. Even the originally psychedelic and hazy neon lights seem to have become clearer, emitting various colors of light.
light.
With the brisk citypop music playing, Nagayama Naoki drove a convertible car quickly on the highway to Nakano District. Akina sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking particularly quiet.
"Akina, how are you this afternoon?"
"Huh?" Akina Nakamori was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Of course, I met Tsuruko, watched "Boys Over Flowers" in advance, and had a big meal~ It couldn't be better~"
At a young age, I worked alone in the entertainment industry in Tokyo. I was busy every day, and because of my straightforward and sincere personality, I couldn't make many real friends in a place like the entertainment industry...
Even during the break, if you want to go shopping and relax, you can only go with the staff...
All in all, Akina was a bit lonely during this period.
Today's afternoon spent with the Yongshan brothers and sisters was warm and relaxing. It can be said to be the most relaxing time after the New Year.
Thinking of discussing the plot with Tsuruko, Akina smiled and said: "Haha, there are still three episodes left to watch... Looks like I'm going to have insomnia tonight~"
When Naoki Nagayama heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but his tone was still "worried":
"That's terrible. If Akina suffers from insomnia, what will happen to the filming tomorrow?"
Akina Nakamori narrowed her eyes and replied playfully: "What can I do~ Who told Naoki-san to film "Boys Over Flowers" so beautifully~"
"That won't work, I have to find a way~"
Nagayama Naoki, who was driving, imitated Monk Ikkyu with one hand and drew circles on his head, humming the theme song of "Smart Ikkyu", "Cut the chicken, cut the chicken, cut the chicken, cut the chicken...
....."
Then he patted the steering wheel and said, "I thought of it!"
Akina was laughing because Naoki Nagayama was playing the monk Ikkyu. After hearing this, she immediately said: "Haha, what did the smart Naoki-san think of?"
Nagayama Naoki opened the storage box next to the gear shifter and took out three video tapes: "Just watch it all!"
"Huh?!!" Akina's eyes widened, "Naoki-san, when did you get the last three episodes!"
"While none of you are paying attention~" Nagayama Naoki handed the videotape to Mingcai, "Angcai can watch it directly when she gets home~"
"Arigado!" Akina subconsciously took the video, excited and happy, and then thought of Tsuruko who was watching the show together: "But Naoki-san brought the video to me, what should Tsuruko do?"
"It's okay with Tsuruko. I'll bring her another one tomorrow."
I have been the big boss of Shuyu Pictures for the past half month, so I asked him to make another copy of the video, just to say it! Besides, this was originally prepared for Akina Nakamori, and Tsuruko was the one who came out of the blue.
"this....."
Akina was obviously a little embarrassed, feeling like she had betrayed her friendship with Tsuruko by watching the drama "Revolution", but she was also very reluctant to let her put back these three episodes!
"Then thank you Naoki-san~"
.......
Originally, while her brother was delivering Akina, Tsuruko wanted to continue watching the series and watch the remaining three episodes, but after searching around, the video tapes next to the projector were missing three reels.
"What's going on? Did I remember it wrong before? Or was there three sets missing in the first place?"
It wasn't until Nagayama Naoki came back that he found out that his brother had actually lent the remaining three episodes to Akina...
"Bagani-chan, you've forgotten your sister!"
Faced with his sister's accusation, Nagayama Naoki squinted his eyes: "I made an agreement with Akina before. She is usually busy and doesn't have time, so I showed her in advance...Tsuruko, you have cheated on someone else."
Is it okay to have light to see?"
"Bagani-chan, you've forgotten your sister!" Tsuruko continued to look at her with contempt.
Nagayama Naoki was helpless: "I'll bring you three more sets tomorrow..."
"Bagani-chan, you've forgotten your sister!"
This is not satisfying...
"Buy another bag, right? You must have a new bag when you go to college!" Nagayama Naoki made a suggestion that most girls would never give up... "Eight..." Tsuruko
She wanted to speak, but Nagayama Naoki blocked her mouth with words in advance, "If you say anything else, there will be no bags!"
"..." After thinking for a while, Tsuruko finally gave in, "Huh! Are you going to send me to Waseda's apartment tomorrow, Ni-chan?"
"You guys have gone to college, are you already an adult?" Nagayama Naoki said, "I don't have time to see you off, I have to go to work tomorrow..."
"Huh? Going to work?"
"Yes, working nine to five like other social animals..."
.......
The next morning, Naoki Nagayama got up early and went for a morning run with Taro Taro as usual. When he got home, Tsuruko had already prepared breakfast.
"Tsuruko is very virtuous~"
Although it is a bit strange to eat white rice in the morning, Nagayama Naoki is not picky about anything, and it is good to eat some.
"Of course." Tsuruko raised his eyebrows, "I do everything myself at home."
Nagayama Naoki said while eating breakfast:
"You know the address, and the keys have been given to you. The house has been cleaned. I'll tidy up in the past few days and prepare daily necessities. Then I can move in after reporting~"
"By the way, do you need me to accompany you when you check in?"
"No need!" Tsuruko flicked her hair, showing the temperament of an independent woman, "I'm fine with it myself."
"Then tell me if you have anything~"
After finishing breakfast in a few bites, Naoki Nagayama drove to the studio. Speaking of which, it had been a long time since I experienced the morning rush hour with other office workers.
Everyone in the studio knew that Naoki Nagayama would be in charge for the next half month, and everyone was more careful on top of their original respect. After all, before, it felt like they were watching from a distance like an idol, but now they are the current ones.
Take care.
After walking to the office, I saw that Shuichi Itou had already arrived and was still reading the newspaper leisurely.
Nagayama Naoki sat on his desk with a carefree attitude: "Good morning, Shuichi-san, do you usually come here at this time?"
"Of course not~ I usually don't come here~" Itou Shuichi put down the newspaper, "Today I came here specifically to see Naoki-san's embarrassment."
"? An embarrassment? Me? How is that possible!" Naoki Nagayama was disdainful. After all, he had managed a R&D team of dozens of people in his previous life. "Just doing this daily thing, what's so difficult about it?"
Just as he was talking, Hayano Riko knocked on the door and came in, holding a stack of documents in his hand:
"Naoki-san, this is last month's record sales data, including the three sisters Saito Yuki, Ito Junko and Maoyan."
"Hey, I'll take a look." Nagayama Naoki didn't take it seriously and said to Hayano Riko, "Is there anything else?"
"Uh... Naoki-san, you need to take a look now. If there are no problems, after confirming the signature, I will use this data to negotiate with the distribution channel about the additional promotion share this month."
"Ah, okay, I'll take a look right now!"
Nagayama Naoki assured that he heard Itou Shuichi’s laughter.
Fortunately, they were all mature processes, and the data compiled by Hayano Riko was also very clear. Nagayama Naoki couldn't find any problems after reading it hastily, so he signed directly.
"Naoki-san, it's not that simple, right?" Itou Shuichi said beside him... Before he and Itou Shuichi could have a verbal spat, Kitamura Mitsuru knocked on the door and walked in, holding a document in his hand.
: "Naoki-san, this is last month's salary confirmation slip. We can only pay after you sign it."
"Ah, hi!"
Fortunately, this was also a routine process. Naoki Nagayama looked at it and signed without any problems.
Throughout the next day, people came in one after another, starting to hold various information or documents that needed to be signed or reported.
For example, Komori Masataka came to discuss the venue selection and costume rental of "The Three Sisters"; Kijima Kyor reported that the shooting equipment was damaged and needed to be replaced; Tsunoda Moki came to confirm the rent, water and electricity expenses, and the crew's reimbursement for filming;
There are also contacts with major program directors, advertising placement, variety show invitations, some project cooperation plans, and even garbage removal costs, neighbor complaints and other messy things.
In short, I feel like I have been busy all day long. This is different from the management of the project team in the previous life. I have to worry about all aspects of things. Because I don’t know the flow of some things, I also made a lot of jokes!
Only then did Nagayama Naoki realize the daily workload of Yoshimura Otomo. Even for lunch, he only had a simple bento.
"Is Otomo-san so busy every day?"
"No, but it just happens to be the beginning of the month." Itou Shuichi consoled him, "It's just these two days, so Naoki-san, I just want to be my father! You can do it!"
This guy really just came to see Naoki Nagayama get into trouble! He ran away halfway!
Naoki Nagayama is left alone in the office, and the hard-working worker is online again~
