The rustle of snow falling on bamboo leaves lasted all night, like the best lullaby~
Nagayama Naoki was woken up by a very bright light. The moment he opened his eyes, he thought the lights were turned on in the bedroom.
There was no sunshine on the December morning, but the crystal clear snow was like a huge mirror, reflecting all the astigmatism, making the space fuller of light than usual.
"Akina, wake up~"
Nagayama Naoki calls his girlfriend as usual. It seems that girls are more sleepy, and Nagayama Naoki always wakes up early.
"Naoki-san~Sleep for another five minutes~"
There was a vague sound coming from the quilt. When sleeping in winter, I like to bury my face in the quilt~
After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to get up by himself. He didn't need to worry about his girlfriend. Without the human warm baby next to him, Akina would wake up soon.
After washing up, Naoki Nagayama felt his whole body refreshed while breathing the fresh air in the yard.
Five centimeters of thin snow covered the outside world with a plain white coat, making it look completely different from usual.
The bamboos outside the courtyard wall were weighed down low by the snow, like an old man wearing a heavy cotton coat, hunched over to say hello to the shrubs in new clothes; the cherry branches inside the courtyard wall were also covered with a layer of snowflakes, as if it was the right time.
In the prime of life, middle-aged people look much taller and taller after putting on a silver windbreaker.
The original white dry landscape was completely covered up by the carpet made of snow, but there were marks like plum blossoms scattered on it...Yataro enjoyed the morning snow scene earlier than Nagayama Naoki~
"Aren't you cold?" Nagayama Naoki scratched the head of the dog next to him. The Labrador's fur didn't look thick either.
The dog was wagging its tail crazily, and even spit out white breath:
"Woof woof woof! (Why is it cold? Come out and have fun!)"
He twisted the snowball and threw it out, causing Taro to run around in the yard excitedly, but he couldn't find the snowball fused with the snow, so he could only turn around and shout in confusion~
In exchange for Nagayama Naoki's ruthless ridicule...
After playing around for a while, Naoki Nagayama walked into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
The thick egg liquid with salt, finely chopped ham and chives was poured into the frying pan, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma of eggs suddenly filled the kitchen.
When it is semi-solidified, roll it up from right to left and pour in the egg liquid again... Repeat this three to five times.
The fragrant Japanese-style eggs...ah no, the thick egg-yaki is done~
Fry a few more sausages and slices of buttered bread, cut some lettuce and shredded carrots as side dishes, and finally have a cup of hot milk. A simple and rich mixed breakfast is completed.
"Naoki-san, I'm so happy~"
The girlfriend who was attracted by the aroma ran downstairs at the right time, kissed her boyfriend on the cheek, and then happily sat at the dining table and started enjoying breakfast.
Nagayama Naoki was very suspicious that she didn't come down until breakfast was ready~
"Which competition is Akina participating in today?" she asked while eating breakfast.
"All Japan Broadcasting Awards, and Japan Broadcasting Awards!"
Akina said vaguely, these two competitions are natural rivals. Not only the announcement date, but also the award ceremony must be chosen on the same day, creating a sense of incompatible conflict... Maybe it's a taste.
Now comes the benefits of group CP....
"Are you all going to participate in Akina?" Nagayama Naoki was curious, "Is there enough time?"
"As long as the last award ceremony is over, rush to the next place immediately, and then there will be no problem!"
Akina Nakamori said, "It's natural to be anxious when rushing to a venue, but many celebrities and artists may encounter this situation today. The two powerful organizers have already contacted the transportation department to provide assistance to those rushing to the venue."
Artists create convenience...
Although it is not to the same extent as traffic control, the traffic police can still clear the way~
"Will it be late?"
"Well, there will be a celebration party tonight..." Akina Nakamori said, "But I have a day off tomorrow!"
Continuously participating in various conferences and recordings, even a solid artist will not be able to bear it. In addition, Akina now belongs to the shareholders, so the office cannot treat her like a cow and exploit her... before cutting.
After doing many small announcements and activities, I can rest for at least one day in half a month~
"What are you going to do today, Naoki-san?" Akina Nakamori has a good appetite. She has already finished the bread slices and other things, and is enjoying the last thick egg to bake. She always wants to save the best bite for the last, "I will do it again today.
It’s snowing~”
"Me." Nagayama Naoki raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to give money... to hundreds of people!"
"Yeah...it's already been calculated~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "The money is all placed in the financial room, and the security is on duty 24 hours a day. Otomo-san said that if he doesn't pay it out, he might be targeted by thieves~"
"Haha, how can a thief break into a safe!" He's not a child anymore, he wouldn't believe that kind of criminal thief Akina Nakamori.
"Maybe he's a ninja...I heard there are rumors in the mountains~"
"Is Naoki-san a child?!"
"I don't know who collected the shuriken..."
"you....."
The two of them bickered happily and had a very comfortable breakfast.
When they were cleaning the tableware together, Nagayama Naoki said:
"Akina, let's go to Shizuoka together tomorrow~"
Nakamori Akina's hand paused, holding the rag and plate a little stiffly, and the faucet was still running...
"Tomorrow?"
"Well, after all, tomorrow is probably the only free time before the end of the year~" Nagayama Naoki bumped his girlfriend with his shoulder, "We agreed to take Akina back to see her before the end of the year~"
"...Okay~" Nakamori Akina pondered for a moment, and then started to clean up the tableware. It seemed that nothing had changed, "I'm just going to meet Naoki-san's father and mother~"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is Akina nervous?" Nagayama Naoki asked with a smile.
"No! Aunt Nanako is not a scourge!" Akina Nakamori had a sullen face and a calm expression.
"Then this dish has been washed three times!"
"...Wu Lu Sai! I don't think it's okay if I don't wash it clean!"
"..."
........
On the way to the studio, Naoki Nagayama discovered that there were posters and advertisements for "Love Letter" along the way, and Akina's beautiful face could be seen everywhere~
When passing by a record store, the gentle melody of "Snow Flower" floated out. I could hear it all the way, and even the car radio would play this song.
It's like a new movie coming out...
"Sugiyama Tomohiko and the others have done a great job!" Nagayama Naoki said happily, "Except for the advertisement at the big intersection, the rest are even more detailed than my previous announcements~"
When he arrived at the studio, Naoki Nagayama had already discovered that the parking lot here was full of cars. Most of the employees came here today.
"Zhi Shusang, good morning!" In this year, Xing Jiahua's smile has never been so bright!
"Good morning Hana-chan~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I'm very happy today!"
"Hehe~"
"Pfft~" Suzuki Yukari next to him couldn't help but snickered~
Shaking his head, Nagayama Naoki walked inside. During the distance to the office, the voice of greetings did not stop. Nagayama Naoki also saw Inada Masami, Komuro Tetsuya and others who were often absent from the company.
"Should we hold a company annual meeting or something... for everyone to get together?" The idea of holding an annual meeting suddenly came to his mind, but he turned around and rejected this method.
In this form, only the superiors and bosses are happy. Ordinary employees will definitely not like it. It is better to just pay them...
"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san~" Nagayama Naoki greeted the two people in the office, "Did Shuichi-san take a break from filming today?"
"Get the year-end bonus and leave!" Itou Shuichi's face became a lot rougher. The filming during this period should be very energy-consuming, "It just so happens that the next scene is over at Izu Oshima..."
"Is it okay even if it snows?"
"It doesn't snow much over Izu...it should all melt in the afternoon~" Itou Shuichi said, you must know that there is an active volcano...
After chatting for a while, Mitsuru Kitamura from the finance office delivered this year’s year-end bonuses in cardboard boxes. They were all packed in kraft envelopes with names written on them.
There are so many people now, it can no longer be sealed by Naoki Nagayama and others~
"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Shuichi-san..." Mitsuru Kitamura distributed the forms to the three of them. "These three boxes are for employees from different business departments. When distributing them, I also asked them to sign them.
Good name....."
"Arigado, thank you for your hard work, Guang Liansang~" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "Then let's start with Guang Liansang! I'll look for it..."
As he spoke, Nagayama Naoki found a thick envelope from the box in front of him. He stood up and handed it to Kitamura Mitsuru with both hands:
"Guang Liansang, please take it! Please give me your advice next year!"
"Naoki-san Arigado!" Kitamura Mitsurei signed first, then happily took the envelope and bowed again, "Please give me your advice next year!"
According to the scoring system created by Fangcun Otomo, Shuyou's year-end bonuses are extremely generous, even for non-business departments like them, which makes other companies jealous!
I sealed the envelope myself, so I naturally knew how much the amount was... But when I took it from Naoki-san, it truly belonged to me!
"Haha, after Guangrei-san goes out, please call the next Toki-chan in~"
Just like that, the annual sharing of spoils among tree friends...ah no, the welfare sharing operation has officially begun!
Sign, take the money, say a nice word, and leave...
The basic process is like this, but with hundreds of employees, plus the key employees such as Komori Masataka and Inada Masamin, who need a little more encouragement, this will take a long time...
....
In the morning, all distributions were completed at the headquarters headed by Nagayama Naoki, and Shuichi-san’s film division was almost done~
"Naoki-san, please help me post it next!" During the lunch break, Shuichi Itou said to Nagayama Naoki, "I have sent out the crew members of "Midnight Bell 2" in advance, and they will be there in the afternoon.
Rushing to Izu."
"Hey, just leave it to me~"
Nagayama Naoki nodded without hesitation. After all, Shuichi-san is working conscientiously! From now on, half of the money earned from movies will be his own...
After a short break, the distribution of year-end bonuses in the afternoon continued in an orderly manner.
Although this method of handing out money in person seems very inefficient, it is very beneficial to the cohesion of a private company and the authority of the boss...
For example, in later generations, the year-end bonus is just a series of numbers, and some employees don’t even see their bosses once a year. What’s the point of talking about centripetal force? Who is the centripetal force?
When the company reaches a large scale, the bosses of each branch will do something similar...
He always had to stand up and sit down again, which was a bit too much for a person of Yoshimura Otomo's age, so he asked Naoki Nagayama to take his place while he was doing it and rest by himself.
"Otomo-san, you need to exercise!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "How old are you, that you can't do this?"
"This is considered a deep squat, right!" Yoshimura Otomo said harshly, "Besides, the elderly can still continue on the battlefield after taking a break!"
"...."
Shaking his head, Nagayama Naoki looked at the next person,
"Eh? Are you already an idol artist?"
"Hi...but a few people with works have gone to the award ceremony, so the rest are mostly newcomers..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well..."
The next person who came in was indeed a newcomer whom I hadn't seen for a long time—Shizuka Kudo.
"Shizuka-chan..." Nagayama Naoki stood up and saw that Kudo Shizuka still had short hair in front of him, which was slightly incongruous with her future image, "You have worked hard this year..."
"Thank you!"
It was the first time for Kudo Shizuka to receive the year-end bonus. The moment she held the cowhide envelope in her hand, she felt her wrist sink... How many Shotoku Princes... Ah no, it should be a blessing now.
Ze Yuji is gone!!!
As an idol who just graduated from school, she is very satisfied with the huge increase in salary after joining Shuyou. Now this year-end bonus makes her even more grateful that she came to this firm!
"The sales of this year's debut song are very good, let's keep working hard next year!" Nagayama Naoki encouraged with a smile.
"Hey, I'll work harder!"
Even for the generous year-end bonus, you have to fight for everything!
Just when the act of handing out money was about to end, Naoki Nagayama still couldn't hold it back: "By the way, Shizuka-chan."
"Hi?"
"Start next year, grow your hair long!" Nagayama Naoki said, "You are more suitable to grow your hair long!"
"..." Kudo Shizuka didn't know what to say for a moment. Does Naoki-san like people with long hair?
At the reminder of the envelope pressed in his hand, he still nodded, "Hey, I understand!"
After Shizuka Kudo walked out, Otomo Yoshimura asked curiously: "Does Naoki-san have plans for Shizuka-chan next year?"
He would not think that Naoki Nagayama was interested in this little girl. The past few years of getting along with him had made him understand that Naoki Nagayama was a rare and clean guy in the entertainment industry.
"Maybe..." Nagayama Naoki hasn't decided yet, so he can only be vague.
"That's it..." Yoshimura Otomo nodded and didn't say anything else. He would know it in the end anyway.
"Next...."
The person who walked in was actually an elementary school student... ah no, he must be in junior high school.
"Rie-chan..." Nagayama Naoki held a slightly thin cowhide envelope in his hand, feeling a little subtle. Was he hiring child labor?
"Naoki-san...."
Rie Miyazawa bowed timidly. Although the elder sisters outside said that Nagayama Naoki was very kind, she was still a little afraid.
"Hey, this is your year-end bonus!" Naoki Nagayama handed the envelope to the little girl, "After all, you came a little late, and the bonus this year is not much..."
"No no...it's already a lot!"
The envelope in her hand contained at least three months' salary.
"There will be more next year." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Are you still used to living in the staff apartment?"
"Hi, the seniors take good care of me... Wu Chunsang also asked the management aunt..." Miyazawa Rie whispered about the treatment in the "girls dormitory" of Shuyou's employee apartment.
This villa apartment in Seguda is full of female idol artists who are Shuyu. It has a dedicated management aunt and a cooking aunt, so it is very comfortable and confidential.
"That's good... don't delay your schoolwork. You're still young, so studying is still very important."
"Hi!"
Nagayama Naoki encouraged Miyazawa a few words as usual before letting Miyazawa Rie leave.
After the person left, Yoshimura Otomo said: "Rie-chan's mother has been to the firm several times before, wanting to advance Rie-chan's salary in advance..."
"Did you give it then?"
"According to the previous contract, except for the buyout fee, we paid Rie-chan's salary and dividends to a special account. Except for Rie-chan's tuition, pocket money and other personal expenses, the rest cannot be used until she reaches adulthood."
Yoshimura Otomo said, "After her mother found that she couldn't move, she came to make trouble several times. We gave her some appropriately... but also gave her a warning."
"Okay, let's deal with it this way..."
Nagayama Naoki nodded. After all, she is Miyazawa Rie's mother, and her bloodline is inseparable... Miyazawa Rie probably won't be able to keep her year-end bonus this time.
The process of distributing year-end bonuses continues, Naoki Nagayama is a little absent-minded...
Shuyou's side is over, he still has to go to Shuyou Capital, where there is still a salary negotiation to be held...p day!
By the way, there are also discotheques and KTVs...
It seems like he will be busy late today~
........
By evening, Akina Nakamori hadn't come back yet.
Naoki Nagayama was calling his hometown in the living room:
"Mom...I will bring Akina Nakamori to my home in Shizuoka tomorrow..."
"Is it that Akina Nakamori?!" The mother on the phone was a little nervous.
Nagayama Naoki was a little funny: "...Who else could it be?! Is mother nervous?"
"This is not someone you often see on TV. She suddenly wants to come to our house..." Nagayama Nanako said in a strange tone, "She is also my son's girlfriend... I'm sure I'm a little nervous!"
"Haha, don't I often appear in newspapers and TV~" Naoki Nagayama laughed.
"You are different! I have seen you everywhere since you were a child..."
His mother Nanako said something like a tiger or a wolf, which made Nagayama Naoki a little unable to resist.
"Hi, hi, hi, I understand, I understand!"
"Mother, let's have dinner together in the morning...at noon..." Nagayama Naoki said about tomorrow's schedule, "Because of the end of the year, Akina is very busy, so I may not be able to have dinner.
I have to go back to Tokyo early..."
"Does father have time?"
"There's nothing wrong with him!" Nagayama Nanako immediately decided for Nagayama Ken, "Aoki is here at the izakaya..."
"That's good~"
"Um... do you want to prepare anything for food?" Nagayama Nanako asked again, "Is seafood okay?"
"No problem, Akina is not picky..."
Nagayama Nanako was still a little nervous and asked a lot of questions. Before Nagayama Naoki came into being, the Nagayama family had always been an ordinary small business family, and they were still biased towards the bottom of the family.
Even though Nagayama Naoki has made a lot of money in the past two years and has given a lot of subsidies to his family overtly and covertly, he can only be regarded as an ordinary family.
They don't have the unspoken rule of looking down on artists in the entertainment industry. Being able to marry a big star is beyond their original imagination.
