Chapter 1118

When Naoki Nagayama was called out of the editing room by Otomo Yoshimura, he was still a little confused.

"What what?" He pinched his ears with his fingers, "I have an illegitimate child?!"

"How come I don't know?!"

"......." Otomo Yoshimura handed the evening paper with the smell of ink to him, "This is the newly issued 'Tokyo Sports'... take a look..."

Naoki Nagayama took it, and sure enough, he saw the picture on the front page was him standing outside the delivery room, looking nervous at the door inside.

At the same time, the title of the report is "Explosive: Famous Great Writer May Have an Illegitimate Child? Playboy Naoki's True Colors Return?", and then the report wrote that it was filmed in the obstetrics department of the Women's Hospital this morning. At that time, a woman was waiting to give birth inside, and the delivery room file was also marked with the name "Naoki Nagayama".....

"Eh....."

Before Naoki Nagayama could speak, Otomo Yoshimura asked:

"Naoki-san... it wouldn't be true, right? This photo was taken in the morning, there was only one person at the door of the delivery room, and you were so nervous... Hahaha~"

"....."

Naoki Nagayama just wanted to answer, but suddenly felt the strange movement around him. When he turned his head, he saw that the doors of several offices next to the corridor were ajar, and it seemed that the shadows of people's heads flashed by...

Even in the bathroom at the end, there were people peeking and looking, and even people who were squeezed out, after touching Naoki Nagayama's eyes, pretended to have some urinary incontinence, and went in again~

It is clear that the evening paper was received by the front desk, and now the employees of Tree Friend know about this!

"This is Feng-dage's baby born... I just went to visit this morning."

Naoki Nagayama remembered the two people who jumped the most happily, and then explained to Otomo Yoshimura,

"When the photo was taken, Feng-dage was not in the corridor... and it happened that Xinhai-chan screamed in pain....."

"Oh oh..." Otomo Yoshimura nodded and continued to ask, "Then why is your name on the delivery room file?"

"....... Sigh....."

Naoki Nagayama was helpless,

"Because Akina also gave birth to a baby in this hospital, I felt it was not bad, so when Feng-dage asked about the confinement center, I introduced it directly...

And because the director of this hospital offended me a little before, and promised to give me a discount, so I simply booked the VIP room in my name....."

Although Naoki Nagayama is not short of this money, why not use the discount if there is one? He has money, not stupid~

"Ah... so that's it~"

Otomo Yoshimura didn't doubt Naoki Nagayama at all. He came to find him personally just to tease him,

"However.... Hahaha, there are too many coincidences~"

"Yeah..."

Naoki Nagayama rolled the newspaper in his hand,

"It should be full of storms now, right?!"

"That's for sure~"

Generally speaking, the evening paper is a collection of news that happened from last night to this morning, so that news missed by the morning paper can be known by people for the first time.

And today's headline of "Tokyo Sports" belongs to a sudden scoop. Only this newspaper got the first-hand material, and then reporter Yuzue Fujisawa wrote the report at the fastest speed, and under the decision of the editor-in-chief, it was directly printed and distributed quickly!

Anyway, "Tokyo Sports" is a purely entertainment newspaper, and what it wants is to grab eyeballs, scoop!

Before dusk, Nagai Akinobu, who had just finished running customers, raised his hand to check the time and wanted to be lazy and go home early:

"Give my wife a surprise today!"

Completely unaware of the danger of setting this flag in Japan!

Because it is not certain who gives whom a surprise, and whether there is a man suddenly in the house, that is not certain!

And when passing by the newsstand, he happened to see the boss hanging a new newspaper...

"Eh?" "Eh eh eh?!!"

"Naoki Nagayama has an illegitimate child?!"

Nagai Akinobu hurriedly walked over, lowered his head and leaned over to look, and sure enough, he saw the man on the photo standing in front of the delivery room with a nervous face...

"Akina Nakamori gave birth to a baby around August, it's impossible to give birth so soon!"

"Could it be that Naoki Nagayama, this guy, was really photographed having an illegitimate child?! Hahahaha?"

The reason why Nagai Akinobu is so happy is that his wife likes to compare him with Naoki Nagayama, saying how handsome that Naoki is, and how rich he is...

Now seeing the news that Naoki Nagayama might be cheating, Nagai Akinobu wants to take it to his wife to argue... Look, what kind of people do you like?!

Am I better? I don't have an illegitimate child!

Just wanted to see it clearly... However, the newsstand boss had already turned sideways to block it, and his contemptuous eyes undoubtedly expressed one meaning - want to see? Pay money!

"Che! Can't do business!" Nagai Akinobu hated and took out the change, and bought this newspaper!

At the same time, newsstands and convenience stores of all sizes in Tokyo have put on the latest evening papers, and this scoop of Naoki Nagayama has also erupted all at once!

With the surge in the number of buyers, the sales of this issue of "Tokyo Sports" have also skyrocketed... because this is an exclusive news!

"How is it possible?" "Really?" "I said that Naoki Nagayama, this guy, can't be so dedicated..." "Details, I want to see the details!"

This is the melon-eating crowd!

"Naoki Nagayama, how dare you fail my Akina?!" "Where is the knife? Where is my knife?!"

This is Akina's fans....

"Successful man, it's normal to have an illegitimate child..."

This is a successful man, very likely to have an illegitimate child!

In short, around this scoop, a lot of speculation has come out, and the public opinion storm is already brewing... After all, "Ghost" is about to be released!

If it really explodes, the marriage change between Naoki Nagayama, the director and male lead, and Akina Nakamori, the female lead, then this movie about "unswerving" love will be a bit ironic!

The hotline of Tree Friend company rang constantly, and reporters or enthusiastic people of all sizes called to inquire.

And at this time, Naoki Nagayama had already arrived at the conference room with Otomo Yoshimura to discuss this matter. The members of the publicity department who participated in the meeting included Toshihiko Sugiyama, Eiichiro Watanabe, Susumu Ishikawa, etc.

"Well... the situation is like this now~"

Naoki Nagayama spread the newspaper on the table. He had already explained the specific reasons before. His tone was helpless and a little funny,

"This is a completely fake news! Fakenews!!"

"Cough cough... Naoki-san." Toshihiko Sugiyama said, "Now is not the time to be angry, we should think about how to calm the storm..."

Eiichiro Watanabe also nodded:

"We can hold a press conference immediately and announce the truth... the fastest is only 2 hours!"

But hearing this plan, Otomo Yoshimura was a little dissatisfied:

"That will have to wait until tomorrow morning to be published~"

"Newspapers like 'Tokyo Sports', except for the date, are all fake! Not many people will believe it!"

"But the sales volume is very large! It will affect Naoki-san's reputation~"

"Can you ask the TV station to broadcast live..." Susumu Ishikawa suggested.

"But this can't be counted as a sudden national event... It's impossible to broadcast in real time, it can only be broadcast on the evening news..."

"Find some connections?!"

In the discussion of the publicity department, Naoki Nagayama slowly calmed down. He thought for a while before saying:

"In fact, even if you explain, the audience may not believe it!"

"??!!" Others looked over.

"Some people will think that explanation is cover-up... Some people will look for flaws with prejudice... Some people will engage in conspiracy theories... And some people, it is very likely that they just want to have a topic to discuss at the end of the year..."

Naoki Nagayama said calmly,

"In short, public opinion will not care about true or false, public opinion wants a carnival!"

He turned to look at Toshihiko Sugiyama, who is responsible for the publicity of "Ghost":

" 'Ghost' will be released soon, and it is possible that someone will push the waves..."

Toshihiko Sugiyama was shocked. At this time, the news of the marriage change of the male and female leads, regardless of true or false, will definitely affect the box office of the romance movie:

"Does Naoki-san mean that someone is targeting the movie 'Ghost'?"

"Yeah... otherwise why is such a big news, and it is targeting Naoki Nagayama, no one notified Tree Friend in advance?!" Eiichiro Watanabe frowned, "Our relationship with 'Tokyo Sports' was still good before!"

"Will it be just wanting to grab traffic?" Newcomer Susumu Ishikawa said, "After all, 'Tokyo Sports' can only rely on retail in subways, stations, small shops, and 24-hour convenience stores..."

"Too naive!" "Impossible!" "......"

Other senior veterans refuted this statement... This kind of sudden news on the front page must be approved by the editor-in-chief or even the boss behind the newspaper.

Otomo Yoshimura listened for a while, and seeing Naoki Nagayama didn't speak, he asked:

"Then... Naoki-san wants to, cold-process?"

"Ha, of course not..." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Not only can't cold-process, but also add a fire!"

"'Ghost' second wave of warm-up is about to start, just worrying about the heat... This news just increases some heat!"

"....."

"Notify our legal department, let them warn 'Tokyo Sports' with a lawyer's letter..." Naoki Nagayama arranged directly, "Sugiyama-san... find some media, issue a statement, saying that I want to sue 'Tokyo Sports'!

But don't explain the reason for the scene in the photo. If anyone asks the reason for the lawsuit, just say it is an infringement of privacy!"

"Don't they want heat? I will make this wave of heat even higher!"

Otomo Yoshimura was a little surprised:

"Lawyer's letter is no problem, but issuing a statement without explanation, won't it make the public think there is really a problem?!"

"Only then will there be topicality!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled,

"Besides... the prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain. With preconceived ideas, direct explanation may not be believed by everyone.

Wait until 'Tokyo Sports' bows its head, and then I explain... the credibility will be much higher~"

People who want to smear you and frame you, no matter how you explain it, they won't believe it. You can't fall into the trap of self-certification!

"Sugiyama-san... also issue a few more press releases later, saying that I am busy with the editing of 'Ghost' and disdain to waste time explaining..."

Naoki Nagayama suddenly paused and smiled,

"Ah... just say that after asking Naoki Nagayama, he said one sentence 'I, Naoki Nagayama, act in my life, why explain to others!!!' Hahaha~"

"Eh...."

Once this sentence came out, others didn't know why they felt a kind of domineering~

"Hai... since Naoki-san wants to do this... then I will go and prepare."

Toshihiko Sugiyama nodded, and then took two subordinates to find the legal department, and then contacted the media.

Only Otomo Yoshimura and Naoki Nagayama were left in the conference room:

"Naoki-san... are you really going to sue this time? To what extent do you want to do it?"

"Scare them... anyway, these will at most be exchanged for an apology statement...."

Naoki Nagayama is a celebrity, a public figure... It is impossible to bear these discussions, even in the judgment, the judge will consider it.....

"However...."

Looking at the photo in the newspaper, and imagining the angle of the photo,

"This female reporter, since she is pregnant, she should raise her baby at home, why come out to make trouble? It's not good for the baby's development!"

"....."

Otomo Yoshimura understood, this means to make the reporter who wrote this article lose her job... This is the bottom line of this counterattack!

Sure enough, Naoki Nagayama has always been fiercely counterattacking the guys who offend him!

Fortunately, this time it was a pregnant female reporter. If it were a man, maybe he would have to go to the family temple to become a monk?!

Otomo Yoshimura has always believed that the editor of "Shukan Bunshun" becoming a monk was forced by the Naoki group... what voluntary becoming a monk is all a lie!!!

Looking at Naoki Nagayama's thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is actually very stingy in his heart!

After returning to Shanyingyuan, Akina naturally knew about this.

However, she was the one who really knew the ins and outs. She also knew when introducing the hospital, and even the bento sent over was packed by her... So she was very surprised by such a report.

"At that time, Feng-dage happened to be eating the bento you sent over... Can't eat in the corridor, went to the room..."

Naoki Nagayama hugged Xia Hua and explained to Akina,

"Then in those few minutes, I was photographed...."

"So coincidental?"

"It's just so coincidental!" Akina opened her eyes wide, feeling incredible.

"By the way, Feng-dage's daughter is called Yongshan Sayuri!" Naoki Nagayama said, "I haven't told you yet~"

"Haha~"

Akina heard the name and showed a smile. Sayuri, this kind of name, sounds like the naming style of decades ago... Sayuri Yoshinaga is exactly a person of that era~

After laughing for a while, she asked:

"Then this time, will it affect Naoki-san? Do you want me to help issue a statement to explain?"

"No... I have my own strategy!"

Naoki Nagayama said,

"Just happen to increase the heat for our movie... Speaking of which, I used to gossip, but after getting married, I was thinking about how to gossip, can this be considered gossip?!"

"...... No seriousness!"

Just at this time, the phone at home rang, Akina answered and listened for a few words, then handed the phone to Naoki Nagayama:

"It's Feng-dage..."

"Ah... it should be here~"

Naoki Nagayama put Xia Hua back into Akina's arms and said to the phone,

"Moshi moshi... Feng-dage?"

"Naoki... about the scoop... I just saw it...."

Feng Yongshan gave birth to a daughter today, busy and excited, being able to notice public opinion is already very rare.

"Hahaha, didn't expect to be photographed... Being a celebrity is not good!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

"Daijoubu? Do you want me and Xinhai-chan to contact the newspaper to clarify?" Feng Yongshan said, he felt a little sorry for affecting his cousin, after all, he came to visit himself in the morning.

"No need! Feng-dage. The company just happened to take advantage of this to operate, maybe it can promote the movie...."

Naoki Nagayama explained,

"Feng-dage, just care about the baby... Has the uncle arrived in Tokyo?"

"Father, he will arrive at night... just returned from the mountains..."

Naoki Nagayama's uncle, Yongshan Kumahara, is going to build a lumber mill, and is now working in several mountains bought by the Yongshan family... He only has a signal when he gets off work at night, and can notify this matter.

"Grandfather? Will he come?"

"Grandfather... grandfather is weak, so he won't come... wait until the New Year to bring the baby to see him...."

Grandfather Yongshan Hayato is indeed getting worse and worse, and he is lying on the bed to recuperate.

"Hai... I will also bring Xia Hua back during the New Year...."

Chattered for a long time, and then hung up the phone.

Although the scoop is big, it doesn't have much impact on Naoki Nagayama's life... even a little nostalgic for this feeling of being on the headline... Sure enough, some people are crazy about it! Must change!

On the dining table, Mrs. Naka Mori had already prepared dinner, Akina was holding Xia Hua and sitting at the dining table, seeing that the phone call was finished, she called out:

"Naoki-san, dinner is ready!"

"Coming~"
