Japanese big things

Shoji Oshiro has strong execution ability and is good at interpersonal communication in the workplace, but when it comes to future development direction, he is a little blind.

Although he agrees with Nakamura Masahiro's investment plan, he also admits that the economy on the other side is developing rapidly, but he doesn't think the potential of the startup companies invested by Nakamura Masahiro will be great.

On the one hand, the other side is a rather unfamiliar country that Ojo Shoji doesn't know very well, so his attitude is relatively conservative.

On the other hand, the social class in Japan is relatively stable. Although companies are started every year, it is often difficult to develop and grow.

The final result is either that it is captured by big companies, or that it is squeezed out by big companies and closes down.

Being able to win a place in the industry is actually the best outcome for many start-up companies. Want to develop and grow? Just wait to be targeted.

Why is the entrepreneurial spirit in South Korea and Japan becoming more and more sluggish? A very simple problem is that the entrepreneurial environment is too poor.

Just like those young people on the other side who choose to lie down in the future, do they have no fighting spirit? Some people may think so.

But if you really look into it carefully, it's just that those young people can't see hope, and their meaningless struggle just becomes fertilizer to support their bosses.

Although the social conditions on the other side of the Taiwan Strait are different from Japan's national conditions, the principles of human nature are the same. Does Oshiro Shoji think the gap will be big?

"Nakamura-san, if there is nothing else, then I will go out first?"

Seeing that Nakamura Masahiro seemed to have nothing to say, Ojo Shoji couldn't help but ask: He is responsible for many things. If Nakamura Masahiro had nothing to do here, he would still be rushing out to attend the appointment.

"In the afternoon, I made an appointment with Shochiku Pictures for dinner to discuss the release of the movie."

"Okay, you go and do your work first..."

Nodding in response, Nakamura Masahiro watched Ojo Shoji get up and leave, and then he picked up the documents and continued to read them.

Although due to Nakamura Masahiro's supervisory status, the firm has a lot of various tasks, but because Ojo Shoji and Ito Mika are very capable at work, the workload left for Nakamura Masahiro is often relatively small.

About half an hour later, Nakamura Masahiro finally finished reading various documents. He stood up and stretched his waist, and his fatigue was slightly relieved.

Suddenly, there was a sudden knock on the door. Although Masahiro Nakamura felt a little confused, he didn't think much and responded directly.

"Come in..."

"President, it's lunch time soon, do you need to order something?"

The clerk who came in first bowed respectfully to Nakamura Masahiro, and then asked for Nakamura Masahiro's opinion with a reserved expression.

"Lunch time?"

Nakamura Masahiro was startled for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the time, only to realize that the time had quietly reached the noon break.

"You guys can eat, don't worry about me, I have to go out later."

In fact, Nakamura Masahiro doesn't have much to do, but if he stayed in the office to have dinner together, the staff would definitely be very uncomfortable.

If you think about it from another person's perspective, if Masahiro Nakamura were an ordinary employee of a firm, he would feel a little awkward dining with senior executives.

Since the president, Masahiro Nakamura, was going to leave later, the staff member did not continue to ask for instructions and left out in a wise manner.

Normally, Mika Ito should be responsible for this kind of thing, but now that she is not in the office, her usual assistant will naturally help.

After tidying up the desktop a little, Nakamura Masahiro stood up and was about to leave the office, but his cell phone rang suddenly at this moment.

"Moses Moses, I am Masahiro Nakamura...."

As he walked out of the office slowly, Nakamura Masahiro answered the phone. Seeing the staff who were about to stand up, he raised his hand to signal, and the staff sat back obediently.

"S...Nakamura-san, it's me, Hashimoto."

Slightly hesitant words came out, and the soft voice was very pleasant. The caller was Hashimoto Nanami.

"What's the matter? Nanamin..."

He asked with some confusion, Nakamura Masahiro didn't know the reason why Nana Hashimoto called?

As far as he knows, Nogizaka46, which Hashimoto Nana belongs to, has a lot of work arrangements recently. She shouldn't have much free time, right?

Not only do I need to shoot multiple variety shows, but I also have to appear in radio programs and commercials. In addition, there are also magazine photos and print posters that need to be shot.

Well, if Masahiro Nakamura remembers correctly, it seems that Nogizaka46’s new single is also in preparation.

"Do you have time now?"

"Now?"

Although it felt a bit strange, Nakamura Masahiro didn't think much about it. He confirmed and then responded readily.

"I happen to be free, and I'm going to have dinner... How about we meet at a restaurant near the office?"

"Then...Okay, Nakamura-san, let's meet at the restaurant."

Hashimoto Nana was obviously a little confused, but after a moment, she still hesitantly agreed.

Time flew by. Not long after Nakamura Masahiro arrived at the restaurant, he saw Hashimoto Nanami coming in a hurry.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

"It's okay, you came very quickly, sit down."

Reaching out to stop Hashimoto Nana's apologetic words, Nakamura Masahiro pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the girl to take a seat.

"What do you want to eat?"

Seeing the waiter from the restaurant approaching, Nakamura Masahiro asked the girl for her opinion with a calm expression.

"I can do anything..."

Nana Hashimoto lowered her eyebrows and acted very politely, which made Masahiro Nakamura feel inexplicably alienated, as if there was an invisible barrier between the two of them.

"Okay, let me have some."

Nakamura Masahiro frowned and looked at Hashimoto Nanami. Seeing her gentle appearance as always, a feeling of melancholy arose spontaneously.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He picked up the menu on the table and looked at it. The names of the dishes were still so familiar. He ordered a few dishes at random, and Nakamura Masahiro handed over the menu.

It arrived in the hands of the waiter.

"That's all, please."

"President Nakamura, please wait."

Although he doesn't eat here often, because it's so close to the office, Masahiro Nakamura can barely be considered an acquaintance, so the waiters at the restaurant behave very familiarly.

Watching the waiter walk away, Nakamura Masahiro withdrew his gaze, and then turned to Hashimoto Nanami opposite.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the girl seemed to have lost a lot of weight obviously, and her cheeks that were originally plump were also showing signs of shrinking slightly. It seemed that life had not kept up with her.

However, this is a bit strange. According to the salary package given by Akimoto Yasushi to Hashimoto Nanami, although it is not as good as Nakamura Masahiro's assistant position, there is still no problem in ensuring life.

"Nanamin, you have lost weight..."

The sudden words made the girl raise her head involuntarily, with a look of astonishment in her eyes.

Before Hashimoto Nana came here, she actually thought about many opening topics in her mind, but even though she racked her brains, she never thought that Nakamura Masahiro's concern was that she had lost weight?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After being stunned for a moment, the girl came back to her senses when Nakamura Masahiro asked again. She shook her head in a panic.

There was nothing unusual about Nana Hashimoto's face, so Nakamura Masahiro didn't think much about it. He had enough time to ask about the girl.

"Nanamin, why are you looking for me?"

Nana Hashimoto's mouth opened slightly, and she looked at Nakamura Masahiro with hesitation. The words lingered in her throat for a long time, and finally they poured out.

"Nakamura-san, my mother is coming to Tokyo, and I want to ask for your help..."

Nakamura Masahiro raised his eyebrows, and was a little confused for a moment: Nanamin's mother came to Tokyo? Why did she ask him for help?

Could it be that he was asked to help pretend to be a boyfriend? To deal with Nanamin's mother?

Nakamura Masahiro's thoughts began to wander, and he could not help but have a few wild thoughts for a while. However, the girl's next words shattered his illusions.

"I have now joined Nogizaka46 as an idol. My mother also knows about it, but she doesn't know that I resigned from the agency..."

"You mean, she wants to see me?"

Although the girl's words were somewhat veiled, Nakamura Masahiro still heard the underlying meaning: Hashimoto Nanami's mother wanted to see Nakamura Masahiro.

While talking, the waiter had already started serving the dishes enthusiastically, and the table was quickly filled with colorful and exquisite dishes, which looked very tempting.

"Well, because she knows that I work as an assistant to a supervisor. On weekdays...I told her that you take good care of me..."

After the waiter walked away, Nana Hashimoto hesitated to reveal the truth. She admitted frankly: "So, mom wants to express her gratitude."

"Why not just tell her?"

Masahiro Nakamura felt a little strange, and asked: "I can't hide it for long... The job of an idol is not that easy. She often performs on TV, so she will notice it sooner or later."

"I don't have a TV at home..."

Hashimoto Nana replied weakly, probably because she felt that this answer was a bit inappropriate, and she quickly added: "Well, I mean, I don't watch much TV at home."

His suspicious eyes lingered on the girl for a few seconds, and Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Watching TV is an important means of entertainment for Japanese people. If you don’t even watch TV at home, there is a high probability that the economic situation will be poor.

Recalling that Hashimoto Nana had never sent money to her family, Nakamura Masahiro felt that this girl from Hokkaido must have a poor family.

"no problem...."

Complex thoughts kept rolling around, but Nakamura Masahiro's face was very calm, and he nodded slightly and agreed.

"When will she come to Tokyo?"
