As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the cherry trees in Yamazakura Garden become more and more luxuriant. Their dense shade covers half of the yard, and the cicadas can already be heard chirping incessantly from the treetops.
After noon, Nagayama Naoki, wearing a loose kimono, sat on the wooden floor of the verandah again. A slight chill came from the floor, but it was not too cold, which made people enjoy it very much.
Yotaro and Nyaotaro lying next to them must have thought so too!
There is also a bamboo plate immersed in the water next to it. There are grapes and watermelon in the bamboo plate. The water looks very appetizing. The sound of ice cubes melting in the water makes you feel cool~
Leaning on the bamboo Japanese-style room chair while reading a book, Naoki Nagayama would put a grape in his mouth from time to time, feeling the sweet and sour taste while sighing... This is how to enjoy life.
ah!
An old-fashioned electric fan was placed not far away. He shook his head in response to the sound of cicadas and exhaled bursts of sighs, as if he couldn't bear to look at the lazy guy in this room...
Until the sound of the big iron door opening automatically came...
"I'm back~"
After a while, I heard the footsteps of Akina Nakamori, entering the living room, and then walking towards the verandah.
"Naoki-san...you are actually here!"
Nakamori Akina had her hands on her hips, her face was still flushed with the heat from the outside world. When she got home, she saw her boyfriend, sitting so leisurely on the verandah to escape the heat... Such a lazy look,
There is even iced fruit!
It’s so jealous!
"Welcome home~" Nagayama Naoki greeted with a smile, but he still didn't stand up, but he picked up the bamboo tray, "It's very hot outside, Akina, come and have a piece of iced watermelon!"
"...."
Looking at the bright red watermelon, Akina swallowed her saliva in dissatisfaction... The attitude that she originally wanted to call an army to accuse suddenly disappeared~
In the end, Akina Nakamori sat next to her and started eating happily... After one bite, the icy and glutinous texture was so sweet that it chilled her heart...
"Why did Akina come back so early today?" Naoki Nagayama asked in surprise.
"Because I will go to "Night Hit" to record and broadcast in the evening, so after completing the shooting tasks in the morning, I can have a good rest in the afternoon."
Nakamori Akina finished eating a piece of watermelon with satisfaction, and then started to taste grapes.
"Who knew I would see Naoki-san slacking off here...well...it's so sour!"
"I just finished eating something sweet, and if I eat something sour again, it will be even more sour!" Nagayama Naoki looked at his girlfriend who narrowed his eyes funny, "Besides, I am not lazy at home..."
As he spoke, he took out a sheet of music from next to the cushion:
"I wrote the song!"
"oh?"
Akina Nakamori picked it up curiously. Naoki Nagayama started writing this song after moving into Yamazakura Garden, and it was not completed until this time...
She looked at the name of the song and silently recited it: "大ち上げ花火....is it a summer song?"
Then he followed the score and hummed slightly:
"...
あの日(ひ)MI ferry(みわた)した渚(なぎさ)を(The coast I looked at that day)
Today(いま)も思(おも)い出(だ)すんだ(I can still think of it to this day)
.......
パッと光(ひか)って岲(さ)いた(The light blooms suddenly)
Fireworks (はなび)を见(み)てぃた(Fireworks come into view)
........
"
Nagayama Naoki didn't know why he thought of this song when he moved back to Sansakurain. He guessed that maybe it was because he had been to the beach many times in the past, and it was summer again...
On the side, Akina Nakamori looked at her boyfriend's song very seriously. It was obvious that she felt that it was very different from the current music style, but there was no doubt that it was a very good song.
"Naoki-san's songs always feel ahead of this era!"
"Yes, I am always troubled by such things~" Nagayama Naoki laughed, stretched and leaned back on the chair, "So you can hide it in the drawer and wait until ten years
Take it out later!”
"Isn't that such a pity!" Akina Nakamori said with some disagreement, "It's clearly not the song's problem! It's that the audience is not worthy of Naoki-san's music..."
"..." Naoki Nagayama patted his girlfriend on the shoulder, "Akina-chan, please don't say that...the audience is our food and clothing parents...
Once they find out, this year’s record sales will be discounted!”
"It's at home anyway! No one will hear it!"
Nakamori Akina felt guilty for a moment after being told that, but she immediately recovered, looking confident, and then picked up another piece of watermelon~
The electric fan next to him was still shaking his head, still looking like he couldn't stand it.
"Forget it~ let's eat grapes!"
Nagayama Naoki picked up another grape and put it in his mouth, then relaxed and leaned back in the chair, wanting to enjoy this leisurely afternoon with his girlfriend.
But after a while, I felt itchy on my face and felt the warm breath again.
Opening her eyes, Akina was very close, scratching her face with her hair... her eyes were bright~
"What are you going to do?"
Naoki Nagayama subconsciously covered his loose kimono skirt...
"Naoki-san..." Akina Nakamori came closer, so that Naoki Nagayama could see the fine hairs on her fair cheeks, "Let's go upstairs..."
"?this....."
Nagayama Naoki felt a little surprised. He had obviously been fed well last night, but now it was... so hot in the daytime, and he had just eaten a meal...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's go to the recording studio and try to record it!" Akina Nakamori said, "Isn't this song a duet between two people?! And the recording studio hasn't been used yet!"
"...Ah...that's what you're talking about!" Nagayama Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost...
"if not?"
Akina Nakamori looked over in confusion, her eyes full of innocence... But after thinking about it, she understood, and her face turned slightly red.
"Hey~~Naoki-san, why are you always thinking about H!"
"...."
Nagayama Naoki felt a little embarrassed, so he stood up and kissed his girlfriend on her fair cheek as fast as lightning.
"Who told Akina to be so beautiful!!!"
"...."
.........
At Shuyu's filming base in Ota District, the filming of "Squid Game" is in full swing.
While filming and editing, after the first three episodes were filmed, they would be broadcast on TBS, which made Itou Shuichi feel a little more nervous.
"Please, let me go back!" "I don't want to participate anymore!" "This is murder!" "..."
In the large room where everyone lived, the remaining contestants gathered together and begged the organizers not to continue playing this game.
The organizers of the game demonstrated to the contestants the prize money that the final winner would receive, and then returned the decision-making power to the contestants whether to participate in the game...
In the end, due to one vote difference, this "squid game" was temporarily closed.
"..." Kijima Kyun sighed as he looked at the scenery in the scene, "Such a lot of money is put in such a big glass ball... Sure enough, this kind of scene can only be seen by Naoki-san.
Just figured it out!"
Itou Shuichi also looked up and laughed:
"Indeed, so much money is so tempting!"
"Shuichi-san, do you think Naoki-san has ever taken out so much cash?" Kijima Xu asked curiously, "It's the kind of thing that is piled on the table... It makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
Feeling too rich..."
"Of course!" Yi Tang Xiuyi said with a smile, "When the year-end bonus was distributed the year before last, I just took the money and put it on the desk. The three of us packed the envelopes little by little in the office..."
"Eh???"
"However, there has been no cash since last year. There is too much cash, and I am afraid it will not be safe... Now the finance department takes it out in batches, and then distributes it to employees respectively..." Itou Shuichi said a little
He sighed in frustration, "The feeling of Prince Shotoku filling the table...it's really nostalgic!"
Kijima Xu and the crew members who heard it all swallowed silently... Maybe they will never encounter this kind of scene in their lifetime!
Perhaps his interest was piqued by the banknotes above his head, Shuichi Itou continued enthusiastically:
"Speaking of which, when Naoki-san was chatting with us, he talked about the many ways of using banknotes to show off wealth in movies..."
"For example, you use U.S. dollars to light cigarettes... Lift the banknotes with a forklift and scatter them on people's heads... Use banknotes to take a bath in the bathtub... Stacked
It turned into a mountain of banknotes, and then burned it with a fire..."
“Why light up cigarettes with U.S. dollars?”
"Because I have money!"
Kijima Xu and the others were stunned for a moment. Sure enough, they couldn't understand the games played by rich people!
Looking up at the banknotes in the big glass ball on the top, Kijima Kyor really wanted to smash it, and then experience the scene of banknotes falling like rain...
"Kijima-kun, Koaki Sakata, Mitsuaki Obara... don't read it!" Itou Shuichi shook his head, "There are fake banknotes in there!
You can’t experience that feeling without using real money!!!”
"...."
At this time, the somewhat stunned Kijima Xu asked an unexpected question:
"Shuichi-san... wouldn't it be against the law if I used paper money to light cigarettes? Can the footage be released?"
"So the dollars being burned are U.S. dollars! Not Japanese yen!" Itou Shuichi really answered, "Naoki-san specifically told me this... Kijima-kun, indeed there is a famous director.
The potential...it doesn't violate the law and can be released...this is something that only experienced directors will notice!"
When the other two people heard this, they looked at Kijima Xu with admiration in their eyes!
After the intermission, the filming of "Squid Game" will continue, but this time it will be shot outside, because the shots are a bit scattered, but they are all in the city of Tokyo.
The contestants returned to the city and their original lives...
However, the contestants selected by "Squid Game" are all losers, marginalized people, and desperate people in reality... After returning to their respective lives, their dilemmas were not resolved, but intensified.
The same goes for Yutaka Nanjo, the protagonist. He owed money and was threatened by a debt collection company to cut off his waist and sell his organs... He had to flee everywhere, and he couldn't even see his only daughter.
When I was desperate, the room and the big glass ball above my head filled with banknotes came to mind again.
"As long as you win the game..." "As long as you win..." "As long as you get the money..."
"Then my life will definitely be different!"
With trembling hands, he reached into his pocket and took out the "Squid Game" invitation card again... The phone number on it was still clearly visible...
.........
Otomo Yoshimura, who was in the studio, took one last look at the empty office.
In the past few days, all his things were packed and sent to the new headquarters in Ikebukuro.
"Ah...don't forget this chair!"
Yoshimura Otomo saw the ergonomic chair Naoki Nagayama gave him. This was his friend’s wish!
Although his office has been equipped with an expensive boss chair in the new office at the headquarters, the leather chair looks very elegant and classy, and it is also very soft to sit on...
But there is no support for the waist and it feels empty... The back of the chair cannot be tilted down to lie down... I cannot relax...
So although this chair looks weird, it really protects your waist!
At his age, he naturally needs to take good care of his waist...
"Riko-chan!" Yoshimura Otomo walked out of the office and found Hayano Riko and told her, "The chairs in my office must be taken to the new headquarters!"
"Forehead......"
Hayano Riko wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Yoshimura Otomo.
"Riko-chan, that was a gift from Naoki-san...it's very memorable!"
"..."
Okay~ What else can Riko Hayano say~
She asked her assistant Ochiai Yoshie to deal with the chair, and then followed Yoshimura Otomo into the car to Ikebukuro.
"Otomo-san, most of the assets have been moved to the new headquarters. The movers have placed them in the marked locations. In the next two days, employees will go to the new headquarters to sort out their belongings.
Work will be suspended for the whole day on June 20th to allow everyone to sort out and adapt to the new company, and then the official relocation ceremony will be held on June 22nd..."
Fangcun Dayou nodded. When he just walked through the studio, he only saw a large empty room with desks and even office chairs moved there.
In the studio, almost only the two little girls at the front desk were busy... packing up the final facade.
"Have other companies notified you? How about the receipts?"
"Hi, all the companies we have cooperated with have been notified, and most of them will send flower baskets..." Hayano Riko paused, "There are a few that are close to each other and sent wreaths...According to Otomo-san
It means that the wreaths will be placed inside the company..."
"Well... Naoki-san's quirks... just listen to him. Anyway, it's for the good luck of the company~"
"Hi!"
The bosses all agreed, so Hayano Riko would naturally not object.
"For the ceremony that day, all the invited guests have replied that they will come...including Minister Morikawa from Kadokawa, Yoshimoto Kogyo..."
Riko Hayano talked about the industry guests invited to witness, including representatives from competing film companies and other firms... Yoshimura Otomo just listened and didn't say much.
This is a routine operation in Neon's culture. It's a matter of face. How are you and me? How are you all?
"Then... let's look forward to the moving ceremony that day!"
Yoshimura Otomo said,
"When that day comes, Shuyou Group will have entered a new stage!"
"Hi!"
Riko Hayano's face was full of pride. Under the lifetime employment system, the company is another home for employees. As Shuyou continues to grow, it is natural to be very happy to be a member of it.
What's more, as a veteran employee, he is already the section chief of the General Affairs Department, and he might even be able to be the head of the General Affairs Department in the future!
