Chapter 537 535, Characteristics of the Times

Chapter 537 535, Characteristics of the Times~

It is rare to see warm sunshine in Tokyo in winter.

The warm sunshine shines on the early risers from early morning, making people intoxicated by the warmth.

The sky is even clearer and cleaner, as if someone has washed it with detergent, and not even a little harmless cloud stain can be seen.

Naoki Nagayama came to the studio early, greeted all the employees in high spirits, and then went into the editing room.

There is not much editing work left for "Love Letter", it's time to go all out to complete it!

But after just over an hour, Yoshimura Otomo came in again to disturb them: "Naoki-san?"

"Hi?"

At Yoshimura Otomo's signal, Idou Shuichi and Nagayama Naoki both came out, "What's wrong?"

"It's time to do very important work!"

"?"

"The packaging of the year-end bonus!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "Guangren-chan and I have already withdrawn the year-end bonus in batches, and it's in the safe in the office!"

"60 million in cash?"

"Hi!"

Suddenly, I felt that the office has become important!

Hearing this, Nagayama Naoki and Idou Shuichi didn't say much, this is indeed what the boss should do.

Let Kimura Kyon and Komori Masataka continue to deal with the end of the editing, and the two followed Yoshimura Otomo back to the office and locked the door.

The envelopes have been prepared, and the list of year-end bonuses has been placed on the table. After opening the safe, stacks of Prince Shotoku are neatly stacked together. Sure enough, cash still has a sense of impact!

"Naoki-san, let's get started!" Yoshimura Otomo said.

Although it was a bit shocking to see so much cash, the process of packaging the year-end bonus was very painful. First, count the money according to the list, then put it into the envelope, and finally seal it and write your name on the envelope.

"Otomo-san, next year, why don't you let the finance department do the packaging directly." Naoki Nagayama was a little annoyed after packaging more than a dozen envelopes.

"If you let the finance department do the packaging directly, there may be some problems."

In this era, there is no electronic transfer, and even wages are paid in cash. It's okay to go directly to the finance office to collect wages when you usually collect them, but the year-end bonus is relatively large, and it is a way to show the boss's status, so it's better to send it in person.

"Just use bills of exchange or something like that in the future. Cash is too troublesome~"

Yoshimura Otomo said: "If you use bills of exchange, there will be no thickness like cash!"

He also raised an envelope, a thick stack, which looked very powerful: "Such a pressure feeling will give employees a great sense of happiness! It will also make employees more grateful. Let other employees see this thickness, and they will be full of confidence in the company, and make the company cohesive!"

As an old man in the Showa era, he has a deep understanding of this, and from a management perspective, it does have some benefits.

"."

Naoki Nagayama couldn't refute that in modern companies in the future, year-end bonuses and wages are just a string of numbers, and there is indeed a lack of ritual sense.

"However, when there are more and more people in the future, the three of us will definitely not be able to handle it!"

Ido Shu said with a smile: "Think of other ways at that time! If it is the Shuyou Group, the president of the branch company will be responsible for sending it~"

He also seemed to agree with this method of sending it by hand. Alas, this is the characteristic of the times!

In the afternoon, I came to Sumida District after a long absence.

In the era before the Skytree was built, this place was just a residential area with traditional Kanto characteristics. Naoki Nagayama still remembered that not far away was the sumo hall where his cousin Nagayama Kaede was.

However, he did not turn the steering wheel to drive towards the sumo hall. Today he was not here to see his cousin, but to help his girlfriend move.

According to the address given in the previous phone call, Naoki Nagayama came to a high-rise building not far from the Sumida Ward Office. Akina lived on the 11th floor this time.

This apartment building was obviously strictly managed. Under the watchful eyes of the administrator, Naoki Nagayama called Akina on the 11th floor at the gate, and then he was able to enter the building.

"Naoki-san!"

Akina opened the door with a bright smile on her face, and then took the ingredients and bags in her hands attentively.

Yes, Naoki Nagayama also provides door-to-door food delivery service~

After taking off his coat and scarf at the entrance, he changed into thick slippers and walked onto the wooden floor indoors. Akina, who was wearing a wool sweater, had already put the ingredients in place and was standing in front of her to help tidy up the wrinkles of her clothes.

He walked forward gently, hugged his girlfriend, and then looked at her beautiful face carefully:

"Why do I feel that Akina's hair has grown a lot after just a few days of not seeing her~"

"Hair grows fast." Akina said softly, "In about two months, it will reach her neck~"

Naoki Nagayama raised a sly smile: "Oh? To the neck? Is it here?"

He hugged the girl in his arms tightly and put his face close to her swan-like neck and rubbed it gently.

"Ahaha Naoki Sanya Medie~ It's so itchy~" Akina Nakamori shrank her neck, but her body was hugged tightly, so she could only use her head to press against her boyfriend.

Naoki Nagayama felt Akina's soft hair on his face, and then her delicate cheek. Then, the warm breath of skin-to-skin contact filled the air between the two, and before he knew it, Naoki Nagayama kissed his girlfriend's lips.

His breathing became faster and faster, and the blood in his body seemed to be heating up. For a moment, Nagayama Naoki's restless hands were already free of the delicate body in his arms.

"Dah!"

At the critical moment, Akina held down Nagayama Naoki's hand that was stretched out into her clothes. The rosy-faced little girl panted slightly and said shyly, "Naoki-san, it's daytime now!"

So what about during the day? Isn't it more exciting?

Such thoughts came to Nagayama Naoki's mind, but when he thought about it again, his little girlfriend was only 18 years old after all. She was still young, so she still couldn't accept such a standard!

"Isn't it okay?"

Nagayama Naoki looked at his little girlfriend, but Akina's eyes were not only ashamed, but also filled with persistence.

"Dah~~~"

"Okay then" Naoki Nagayama kissed him on the cheek a few times before letting go of the beauty in his arms, "note it down for now"

"Naoki-san is a big pervert! Hahaha~"

Feeling the respect of her boyfriend, Akina showed a naughty smile, then happily hugged Naoki Nagayama's arm and pulled him into her new home.

Nagayama Naoki walked into the living room and looked around. This time it was a two-bedroom and one-living room structure. A large TV, a dressing table, a sofa, and other household appliances were already placed in the living room.

The open kitchen and dining room are integrated into one, making the space more open and a higher level than the previous apartment.

I walked to the window of the living room and looked out. The broad Sumida River branched into a smaller tributary not far ahead, the Oyoko River, flowing around Sumida River Park and Nakamori Akina's apartment. The intersecting rivers sparkle under the warm winter sun, and coupled with the greenery of Sumida River Park, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

“The apartment is getting more and more upscale! River view room”

Akina snuggled next to her: "Yes, Fang Zesang chose several options, and I fell in love with this place at first sight."

"Has all the furniture been delivered?"

"Yeah~" Akina looked at her boyfriend again, with a smile on her face again, "It just needs a little adjustment."

Ah, this is the role of a boyfriend!

In the Warner Pioneer headquarters building, Akiko Fang walked vigorously into the office of Akina's Publicity Department.

"Fang Ze-san?" Tanaka Yoshiaki noticed his arrival and was very surprised, "Why did you come here suddenly? Is Akina-chan here too?"

"Akina-chan has a half-day off today and has to move," Akikofusa explained, "I came here today to bring this record to Yoshiaki-san."

"What record?" Tanaka Yoshiaki took the record and knew it was a demo tape, curious.

"It was sent over by Shuyou Pictures, the record of Akina-chan singing "Snow Flowers"." Akiko Fubo explained the source, "Originally, it was said to be given to Akina-chan for trial listening, but after listening to it, we decided Send it to everyone at Warner Pioneer to listen to.”

"???"

Tanaka Yoshiaki was a little confused, "Isn't this a record specially produced by Shuyou Pictures? Although it is said to be in our name, the decision-making power rests with them. What's the use of showing it to us?"

Despite what he said, Tanaka Yoshiaki still put the audition tape into the player.

"Because it may be released at the same time as Akina-chan's "North Wing," we feel we still need to communicate with everyone at Warner Bros."

Akiko Fusa was talking, and a moving melody was played from the player, followed by Akina's soft and powerful singing voice. The entire Warner Pioneer office fell silent for a while, and everyone listened carefully to the song "Snow Flower".

First the soft version of singing, and then the gentle version of voice. The same song has two completely different feelings. People are amazed by Akina Nakamori's powerful expressiveness, but in the hearts of professional producers, they admire record production even more. human level.

When the player automatically tripped, Tanaka Yoshiaki asked with some difficulty: "This is a record produced under the leadership of Naoki Nagayama, right?"

"Hi, Naoki-san made it himself."

Akiko Fusa also did not hide that Naoki Nagayama’s skills in record production are not inferior to his lyrics and composition.

Almost all of the debut songs of several idols under his name were produced by Naoki Nagayama, and both sales and Oricon rankings are at a stable first-class level.

Tanaka Yoshiaki felt that he already knew the purpose of Akiyuki Fusanoori's visit. The release dates of the two songs may conflict, so the idol's song promotion and promotion on various music channels will naturally have to be focused.

"When will this record be released? What requests did Naoki Nagayama make?"

Akiko Fusa also had some doubts at this time: "Naoki-san didn't set a definite time. He only said that when it snows, it will be released. In addition, there are no requirements for publicity."

"?" Tanaka Yoshiaki was puzzled, "He doesn't need Akina-chan to promote?"

"Hi." Akikofusa nodded, "There is no need to publicize it before sending it out. These are Naoki-san's original words."

What kind of operation is this? Do you want to stop selling? Tanaka Yoshiaki thought for a moment: "So, what does Kenyin mean?"

"No, Yanyin doesn't have any ideas. We will still promote the new record according to Warner Pioneer's requirements." Akikofusa said, "I sent this demo tape today to let you know about this situation. At the end of the year, there will be a record like this that will compete with "North Wing."

Tanaka Yoshiaki was silent for a while after hearing this: "Hey, I understand, thank you Fang Zesang."

After Akiyuki Futonori left, Tanaka Yoshiaki walked into Terashi Chao's office with this audition tape.

"Minister Temple Forest, this is the audition tape of "Snow Flower"."

"."

About half an hour later, Tanaka Yoshiaki walked out of the office. When everyone in the office area looked at him, he took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Daitaipao, our "North Wing" is also a very high-quality song. I am also very confident in "North Wing"!"

"Mina-san, it will be released in more than a week, we must work harder!

The person who was in charge of advertising before will contact Dentsu again and put ads at all subway entrances!

If it has something to do with the TV station, in addition to the audio program, all other programs that can be on it will be on it!

In the record store line, the music in the store starts playing!

There are also newspapers and magazines, let me move them all!

I want all the people to be surrounded by the record "North Wing" all the time. We want to stuff this record into their heads! ! ! "

"Hi!!" The other staff in the office agreed and immediately started taking action!

In the new apartment, Nakamori Akina and Nagayama Naoki arranged all the furniture, cleaned it, and put up all the Christmas decorations that Nagayama Naoki brought over.

Looking at the socks hanging at the end of the bed, Akina smiled and said, "Naoki-san, are you going to put the gifts inside the socks on Christmas Day?"

"Of course, Santa Claus and I have agreed to put the gifts in while Akina is asleep!"

Nagayama Naoki leaned handsomely against the door frame and said this. If he hadn't been holding a rag in his hand, it would have been more convincing.

"I don't believe it!" Akina Nakamori is no longer old enough to believe in fairy tales. She nudged Naoki Nagayama playfully, "Without the key, Naoki-san can't get in!"

"Huh? Does Akina have to give me the spare key?" Nagayama Naoki asked as he approached.

"I won't give it! What if Naoki-san randomly comes in and scares me!"

Akina Nakamori smiled and ran away. Although she liked Nagayama Naoki very much, it was not the time to give the spare key yet. Even her parents had never seen it!

"Huh? You can even enter Yamazakura-in as you please~" Nagayama Naoki looked pitiful and looked like he was about to cry, "Women are so heartless~"

"When can I freely enter Yamazakura-in?"

Akina Nakamori was surprised. Why didn’t I know when the key was given to her?

"Isn't that what happened last time?" Naoki Nagayama smiled, sitting on the cleaned sofa and said, "Call Taro's name at the door, and he will open the door for you!"

"Eh?!"

Akina suddenly realized that Nagayama Naoki's family had a very smart Yutaro! Fully automatic biological lock opener!

"Hahaha, I'll try it again next time!" Akina Nakamori held Naoki Nagayama's head, looked at it, and then kissed her, "Naoki-san needs to hide the bad things at home!"

"?? Bad stuff?"

Nakamori Akina pulled away and said with a wicked smile: "It's under the mattress in the bedside table."

"."

When was it discovered? ! Those are the items Naoki Nagayama left behind to criticize!

Autumn bean sack, Akina, listen to my quibbles!

The ingredients brought by Naoki Nagayama were finally used in the evening.

The hot big bone miso soup comes from Mingcai; the fragrant twice-cooked pork comes from Naoki; plus stir-fried vegetables, grilled saury, and fried meatballs, this is today's dinner.

After working for a long time in the afternoon, eating the food you cooked will naturally feel even more delicious.

When they finished cleaning the kitchen, it was still early and it was not time to go to bed. The two of them sat in the newly tidied living room, drinking tea and chatting.

"Naoki-san, are you editing "Love Letter" recently?" asked Akina Nakamori, who was nestled in her arms.

"Well, the editing is almost completed, and it will be ready for release in two days." Naoki Nagayama answered casually, "However, there will be no preview screening this time, it will be released directly."

“Do you really want to show it when it’s snowing?”

"Isn't that very interesting~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "When the snow falls, I listen to Akina's "Snow Flower" and invite the people I like to go to the cinema together. It sounds very romantic!"

"I don't know if others will like the movie I starred in~" Akina was a little shy.

"I will definitely like it!" Nagayama Naoki was very confident.

"Hmm~"

The topic suddenly broke off, and there was a little silence. Nagayama Naoki's hand around Akina's shoulder suddenly moved:

"By the way, I almost forgot!"

"?"

"I brought a movie!"

"what movie?"

"'Midnight Ring'! Aren't Akina afraid of going to the cinema to watch it? So I got a preview tape so I can watch it at home!" Nagayama Naoki stood up excitedly and took it out of his coat pocket at the entrance. A videotape.

"Huh?" Akina Nakamori was a little hesitant and a little excited. This is a horror movie that everyone has been discussing recently. "Naoki-san, is it scary? Everyone is talking about it."

"Haha, what are you afraid of? I'm right next to you?! I took this picture!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, and then went to adjust the TV.

I closed the curtains, turned off the headlights, and huddled inside the kotatsu. In the entire living room, only the light from the 15-inch TV screen illuminated the two people watching TV. Instantly, I felt like I was secretly watching it with my friends at school. It feels like a banned film.

As the player started, "The Ring" began to play on the TV in the living room, and the plot was told in horror.

Nagayama Naoki has seen it many times. Although he is still a little scared, he is still much better.

However, this is the first time for Nakamori Akina to watch it, so from time to time you can hear exclamations of "ah", "ah white" and "so scary".

Even on a small TV screen, the horror of "Midnight Ring" is not weak at all. The little girl was so scared that she completely hid in Naoki Nagayama's arms.

When it comes to the scene where Sadako climbs out of the TV, Akina Nakamori is curled up in Naoki Nagayama's arms, holding her boyfriend's hand in front of her eyes but still peeking between the fingers. Sure enough, the more scared she is, the more she wants to watch~

"Naoki-san! You make me afraid to go to the bathroom alone!"

After the movie was over, the lights were turned on again, but there was still a slight pause. Nakamori Akina complained about her boyfriend.

"So exaggerated?!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Didn't you turn on the light?"

"That would be scary! What if Sadako jumps out of it!" Nakamori Akina still shrank in Nagayama Naoki's arms, "It's all your fault for making such a scary movie!"

"."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Nagayama Naoki said: "Then let me help you explore the road first?"

"?"

"I'm going to take a shower first~" Naoki Nagayama kissed Akina on the forehead, "If you're scared to be alone, you can come in~"

"Naoki-san is really H!" Akina's cheeks immediately turned red.

"Haha~"

The water heater in the new apartment works very well. The warm water washes away the fatigue on the body and refreshes the mind.

However, after washing, I found that I didn't bring a bathrobe. Now I had no choice but to ask Akina to help pass it in. Nagayama Naoki's lips once again put on a bad smile.

"Akina, hand me the bathrobe~"

"Eh? Bathrobe?" Akina Nakamori saw the bathrobe she prepared on the bed in the bedroom, "What a careless guy!"

Akina walked to the bathroom door holding her bathrobe: "Naoki-san, I left the bathrobe at the door~"

"Give it to me directly~"

Nagayama Naoki's voice came out through the bathroom door, and then the door opened a crack. Akina saw at a glance her boyfriend's chiseled body surrounded by water vapor. Her face turned rosy.

"Here. Here you go." Nakamori Akina held the clothes and sent them in. She could see more clearly. She swallowed and felt that she might need to drink some more tea.

"Ah, thank you Akina~" Nagayama Naoki took the bathrobe.

"." Nakamori Akina asked in a panic, "Naoki-san, have you got it?"

"It's ready~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

"." Nakamori Akina's face turned redder and redder, "But Naoki-san, you also took my hand."

"Ah Private Marseille~" Naoki Nagayama put the bathrobe in his hand on the shelf, "But didn't Akina just say that you would be scared to take a bath alone?"

"Huh? I don't think I said that"

"No, you said it~"

Nagayama Naoki used a little force to pull Akina, who was unable to resist, into the bathroom. In the lingering white mist, he accurately found the red lips on her cheeks, blocking her words that she wanted to continue to refute.

In the looming bathroom, in addition to the sound of hot water spraying and rapid breathing, there are also some sounds from time to time:

"Naoki-san's clothes are all wet!"

"Then just wash it again tomorrow. Just take it off~"

"."

"But... I didn't take that one."

"Already got it!"

The small umbrella is already stuffed into the bathrobe!

Happy birthday Akina~
