Tokyo bubble life

After going out for a while and returning to a familiar place, I always sleep particularly soundly.

When Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes, he stood up and was stunned for a while.

Akina was no longer around, and Naoki Nagayama remembered that she was going to the Kenyin Office to prepare for the release of the new album, so she should have gone to the office today.

After washing up, I walked downstairs to the quiet living room and kitchen, but there was a breakfast on the dining table.

The familiar Japanese breakfast, the white rice is kept warm in the rice cooker, the miso soup is also in the thermos, and it doesn’t matter if the pickles and fried fish are eaten cold~

The color combination is very beautiful, but they are only one or two mouthfuls. Naoki Nagayama was used to this kind of breakfast. He quickly finished the warm miso soup, then walked outside the verandah and took a breath of fresh air with the fragrance of flowers.

"It's about to bloom~" Naoki Nagayama sighed as he looked at the cherry blossom tree with its buds exposed. "It blooms very early every time, but this time, I don't know if I can see it in the yard."

The design drawings of Honma Architectural Design Office should be completed within a week. By then, the construction of Yamazakura Garden will almost start, and he and Akina will move to the top floor of the city center.

Although the house has not yet been settled, he has great faith in Keiko Fujita's efficiency, especially when the agency fee is high!

"However, if you work harder, you can even hold a cherry blossom viewing party when the flowers bloom!"

Naoki Nagayama patted the trunk of the cherry tree and spoke with some seriousness, as if he was discussing with the tree~

He always felt that this cherry blossom tree was a bit strange, so maybe it might be possible for him to understand it!

Yamazaku-in is no longer filled with Yotaro and Nyaotarou, and Akina is not around, so it seems very quiet.

Nagayama Naoki didn't stay alone for too long. He packed up the souvenirs he brought back and drove to the studio.

After the room was completely empty, a breeze blew, and the thin branches of the cherry blossoms swayed with the wind, as if they were playing with the invisible spring breeze. The short bamboos outside the wall made a rustling sound, as if they were laughing together~

"Zhi Shusang!" Xing Jiahua called out in great surprise, "You're back!"

Naoki Nagayama is in front of him. His originally fair-faced boy-like skin has been slightly polished by the South American sunshine, exuding a healthy and energetic atmosphere. His handsome face has a warm smile, just like an air conditioner that constantly blows out hot air, making the surroundings The atmosphere has become warmer~

"Ah, yes Hana-chan~" Nagayama Naoki stopped at the front desk and responded with a smile, "I just came back yesterday!"

"Is this trip fun?"

"Of course it's fun. Brazil is a very welcoming country~" Nagayama Naoki put the package in his hand next to him, "And how could I not bring gifts when I come back? I brought souvenirs for everyone~"

He took out a Brazilian-specific sunscreen from the bag he was carrying, "This is the sunscreen used by the locals! There's also one for Xingxia-chan!"

"Arigado!" Xing Jiahua accepted it happily, "Zhi Shusang is so good!"

"You praise me so much, don't you want to fall in love with me? I have a girlfriend!" Naoki Nagayama teased in an exaggerated way.

After getting along with Nagayama Naoki for so long, Xing Jiahua also joked with her boss casually:

"Oh, I've been tempted for a long time~ Naoki-san, please give me a chance!"

"Okay, okay, when I break up, I will be the first to consider Hana-chan!"

"."

Coming to the company early in the morning to tease the girl at the front desk, Naoki Nagayama would be forgiven only if he had a handsome face. If it had been anyone else, he might have just given him a hygienic eye.

When Nagayama Naoki came back this time, in addition to the jams that were still being checked in, he naturally also brought a large bag of specialty dried fruits as a small benefit to other employees of the company. After all, even in the company, there is still a difference between closeness and distance~

"Otomo-san!" Naoki Nagayama greeted him warmly as he opened the office door, "I'm back!"

"Oh~" Yoshimura Otomo didn't even raise his head.

"I'm back!" Naoki Nagayama walked next to him, "Is Otomo-san the only one?"

"Is it possible that I want to say 'Welcome home'?" Yoshimura Otomo raised his head from the document, "As the president, I actually go traveling at the busiest time of the month and the beginning of the month! Did you know that we are doing the annual financial report now? It’s a critical period! Our employees are working very hard!”

"Hahaha, isn't there Otomo-san~" Nagayama Naoki patted the shoulders of the middle-aged and elderly people, "Besides, the employees work hard just so that the president doesn't have to work so hard~"

"Nani?!" Yoshimura Otomo almost didn't understand what Nagayama Naoki meant.

"Um" Naoki Nagayama finally realized what he was saying, and quickly changed the subject, "Otomo-san, I brought you a souvenir!!! I brought it especially for you!"

".!" It could be seen from the look in Yoshimura Otomo's eyes that he temporarily suppressed his accusation against the president, and instead asked, "What souvenir?"

"Now!" Naoki Nagayama took out a wooden cup, a metal straw, and a bag of something that looked like tea leaves, "This is yerba mate! A drink commonly consumed by South Americans! "

"Don't South Americans love to drink coffee?" Yoshimura Otomo took a cup and looked at it with a wise look, "Naoki-san, although I don't read much, I still have some knowledge. Don't lie to me!"

"What's the point of deceiving this!" Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "Yerba mate is very popular in Argentina and Brazil. It's similar to coffee, refreshing, but more mild."

As he said that, he took out his cup and straw and prepared to give Yoshimura Otomo a try.

Pour yerba mate powder like matcha powder into a wooden cup, shake it slightly to make the powder move to one side, then pour in non-boiling hot water, insert a straw with a filter, and drink. Yerba mate!

Yoshimura Otomo followed Nagayama Naoki's steps and started to try. After getting ready, he felt that the water should not burn his mouth anymore, so he took a big sip.

In an instant, a bitter taste filled your mouth, which was even more exciting than espresso black coffee.

"Ugh~~"

After reluctantly swallowing the yerba mate, Otomo Yoshimura looked at Naoki Nagayama next to him in surprise: "Naoki-san, isn't this poisonous?"

"Who told you to drink so much at once?" Naoki Nagayama has become accustomed to this taste. "You should drink it in small sips at the beginning. If you are not used to it, you can add sugar, honey, milk, etc., just like coffee."

".You didn't tell me earlier~"

Yoshimura Otomo frowned and tried it again. Although it was still very bitter, it was not so bad that it was completely inedible.

"Yerba mate can be replenished with water. Generally speaking, one cup can be drunk all day long!" Naoki Nagayama said.

"You want to drink this kind of thing all day long?" Yoshimura Otomo said that he might not be able to finish the first drink, and then put the cup aside~

"Can I add something~"

Once you get used to it, it will be the same as drinking black coffee in the morning. People who like it will like it very much~

"By the way, I also brought souvenirs to Yu Xuesang and Jing Xinjun, but they are still being checked in. It will take about two days to arrive."

"Arigado~"

Yoshimura Otomo's brows relaxed a little, and he felt less resentful about being left by the president to do accounting in the company.

"Otomo-san, nothing happened during my absence, right?" Nagayama Naoki sat down and looked at the empty desk: "Where did Shuichi-san go?"

"Naturally Shuichi-san has been running around to make connections~" Yoshimura Otomo said, "When it comes to big things, what could be more important than Naoki-san's Golden Palm selection? By the way, I have already found a lobbyist, International System The vice president of the Filmmakers Association spent 100 million!”

"Ah~Okay~" Nagayama Naoki has no doubts about who Yoshimura Otomo found and spent so much money on, "There is no need to save the rest of the budget!"

"Well, I'll look for it again~"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded, then thought for a moment and continued,

"If we talk about big things, there is one more thing."

"?"

"Masaka-kun is ready to take on the project "Ume Street Diary"!" Otomo Yoshimura explained. "Didn't Naoki-san give Masataka-kun the task of cultivating reserve film talents before? Masataka-kun plans to use this long-term film shooting to As a teaching~"

"That's okay~"

Nagayama Naoki thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any objections. Originally, the movie was planned for Masataka-kun or Kyor Kijima. Anyway, as long as the starring role is one of his own.

After being away for more than a week, it is impossible for such a fast-paced entertainment world to have only these two major events, but these are the two people who have a close relationship with Nagayama Naoki. Yoshimura Otomo naturally talked about this with Nagayama Naoki next. Things in the entertainment industry for a while

""Century of Love" is completely popular!" Otomo Yoshimura smiled. "The TV station's ratings are very high, and the audience's feedback is also very active. Even my family is also following this TV series!"

"Hahaha, Yuxue Sang?"

"Jingxin is also chasing me!"

"Forehead"

Ah, yes! When teenagers are officially looking forward to love, this kind of drama is naturally very attractive. When Nagayama Naoki was young, he would sneak out to watch idol dramas such as "Crystal Love" and "Blue Life and Death" of ~

"As long as someone likes to watch it~" Nagayama Naoki nodded in praise, "Are there any negatives?"

"There are some fans of Hideki Nishiro who really don't like Momoko Kikuchi." Yoshimura Otomo shrugged, "But this is inevitable. Hideki Nishiro has been active for so many years, and he has many die-hard fans!"

It must be unacceptable to some fans for their idol to act in a romantic drama with someone else. What's more, Hideki Saijo is already the pinnacle of male idols, while Momoko Kikuchi is just a new idol who has just emerged.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, just protect Peach Jam~"

Naoki Nagayama could only say this.

"As for the rest, there is nothing left~" Yoshimura Otomo concluded, "I have given all my doubts about the plot to Kijima Kyon, and he has also made some adjustments, but the main plot is still based on Naoki-san's script. !”

"Hmm, Kijima-kun did a great job, I will definitely give you a big red envelope at the end of this year!"

"Naoki-san, we will actually give out bonuses in the middle of the year!" Yoshimura Otomo said.

"Eh? Aren't the year-end bonuses given out only at the end of the year?"

"In Neon, it is usually issued twice." Fangcun Otomo said, "This has been decided when Shuyou was reorganized, but this year is the first time."

"Forehead"

"Naoki-san, you must not have read the restructuring plan carefully!" Yoshimura Otomo caught the blind spot!

"Hahaha, how is that possible? Of course I have seen it!"

It’s just that the main thing I looked at at that time was the division of the structure. I just flipped through the dozens of pages of employee benefits!

"Hehehe~"

Looking at Yoshimura Otomo's eyes full of disbelief, Naoki Nagayama felt a little uncomfortable:

"Hey, Otomo-san, I have to go to other friends' places, and I have to give gifts to them in person!"

"Is that so?" Yoshimura Otomo's eyes seemed to see through Naoki Nagayama's little thoughts, "Then Naoki-san, go!"

"Hahaha, then I'll take my leave first!"

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's hurried departure, Yoshimura Otomo proudly picked up the yerba mate he gave him, took a sip comfortably, and felt refreshed:

"Eh? Try it carefully, this taste is also a bit wonderful~"

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty~

Akina Nakamori, who drove a blue Porsche to Ken-On, also brought a travel bag. After parking the car and walking into the main entrance of the Ken-On building, she distributed it to the employees of the office.

As a small office that revolves almost entirely around Akina Nakamori, Akina knows all the employees there, and as a girl, she is much more lively than Naoki Nagayama when giving out souvenirs~

"This is handmade chocolate!" Akina Nakamori distributed gifts to the employees who gathered around her, "It has a very rich taste!"

"This is dried fruit and candy, everyone can try it~"

"And this. Crafts! Very cute, right!"

In fact, when the working group returned to the office yesterday, they also distributed some souvenirs to everyone, but they were stingy. How can they compare with big (rich) stars?

You know, Akina brought back a whole suitcase of souvenirs!

Arriving at the office of Ken-On Chairman Hanami Kazuo, Akina Nakamori, who was a little darker, had a bright smile on her face:

"Chairman Hanami, these are coffee beans for you. They are a local specialty of Rio de Janeiro, Arabica."

Hami Kazuo took the coffee beans and smiled gently:

"Arigato, Akina-chan~ You must be very happy in Rio de Janeiro this time, right?"

"Yes, the people in Rio de Janeiro are very enthusiastic, the fruits there are also delicious, the carnival is very lively, and I also learned a little samba dance."

Akina Nakamori happily shared her journey in Rio de Janeiro with Hanami Kazuo, occasionally gesturing with her hands to enhance her persuasiveness, and her whole body exuded vitality and enthusiasm.

Seeing Akina like this, Hanami Kazuo knew that this trip to Brazil brought Akina a deep and joyful feeling. In this way, the expressiveness of the new album will definitely reach a new level!

After listening to Akina chattering for more than ten minutes with no intention of ending, Hanami Kaku had to interrupt:

"Akina-chan, the photos sent yesterday have been developed urgently. We will hold a countermeasure meeting to select the cover photo this time!"

"Hey, no problem!"

Akina Nakamori nodded and wanted to continue sharing, but Hanami Kaku changed the subject again.

"By the way, the stylist has made several sets of Akina's stage costumes. I wonder if it is in line with Akina's wishes!"

"Akina Nakamori is a little surprised. She plans to make her own stage costumes.

"Yes, they are all in the design studio. I am waiting for Akina to decide!"

"Then I'll go take a look first!" Akina said and said goodbye in a hurry, "President Hanami, I will tell you about the scenery of Rio de Janeiro next time!"

Looking at the back of his idol leaving, Hanami Kaku subconsciously wiped his forehead:

"He is so quiet in front of the stage, why is he such a chatterbox behind the scenes."
