Chapter 113: Where did this handsome guy come from?

On a refreshing autumn morning,

Naoki Nagayama took a few deep breaths in the courtyard, awakening his spirit for the whole day.

Today, there is a tough battle to fight; the kind where he might get kicked out of the house if things go wrong.

He had already made an appointment with Fangcun Dayou to visit Yin Teng Chunzi's home today,

to tell them the truth and see if they could obtain forgiveness.

After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama put on more formal attire.

It was the casual suit customized at that high-end hotel; it must be said, it really fit very well.

Then he drove to the studio. The two had to gather there first, and then take Fangcun Dayou's car to go.

After all, driving a convertible sports car was really a bit too flashy.

"Xiuyi-san, good morning~"

Pushing open the office door and seeing Yin Tangxiu already there, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly greeted him.

Yin Tangxiu was originally talking to the makeup artist Zhenyou Lingnai, but hearing a familiar voice, he intended to turn around and greet him:

"Naoki-san, good... morning?"

The pushed-open door let in the soft autumn morning sunlight. Naoki Nagayama was wearing a blue-gray suit, a white shirt underneath, and a black patterned tie, and was currently taking off his brown sunglasses from his face...

Where did this handsome guy come from?!

He stared blankly as Naoki Nagayama got closer and closer.

"Xiuyi-san, what's wrong?"

Yin Tangxiu wiped his face: "Naoki-san, are you attending the Cannes Film Festival today? Dressed so handsomely?"

"? I didn't dress up? It's just that I have an appointment with Dayou-san today to visit an entertainer, so I wore formal attire."

"And you call that not dressing up..."

Yin Tangxiu complained, then turned to Zhenyou Lingnai and said, "Lingnai, you're drooling!"

Since seeing Naoki Nagayama, the makeup artist Zhenyou Lingnai hadn't shifted her gaze, her eyes shining as she looked at the handsome guy in front of her.

"What nonsense is Xiuyi-san talking about!"

Hearing Yin Tangxiu's words, she subconsciously wiped her lips...

Then her face turned red all of a sudden...

Leaving behind a "I still need to get something...", she ran away hurriedly.

Watching her retreating back, Yin Tangxiu and Naoki Nagayama stared at each other.

"I say, Naoki-san, Lingnai is almost 30 years old, don't tease her anymore..."

Naoki Nagayama was speechless. Clearly, you were the one who said it? I didn't say a word.

"Xiuyi-san... when you're out in the world, you have to have a conscience..."

Yin Tangxiu avoided the topic and started to change the subject: "Naoki-san, the contact person from Kadokawa called earlier."

"Oh? Are the box office dividends coming down?" Naoki Nagayama's attention was immediately diverted. "How much exactly? What date will it be transferred?"

"The first box office settlement for 'Paranormal Activity', according to the box office settlement reports issued by various theater chains, is expected to have a total box office of 2.5 billion. If we take 30%, we get 750 million."

This box office result can be said to be a big dark horse in Japan recently.

"This result is very good~ Xiuyi-san~" Naoki Nagayama was very happy. "Did they say when it will be transferred?"

"Kadokawa said they will make a special appointment at the bank this week to discuss it and confirm the final number, but it shouldn't be far off."

"This is really good news!" Naoki Nagayama continued, "Once the funds arrive, we can distribute the year-end bonuses~"

"I guess the employees are all looking forward to it~"

There are no real secrets in a small company; the matter of distributing year-end bonuses had already spread.

Just as they were talking, Fangcun Dayou arrived.

After pushing the door open, he walked straight to a chair and sat down.

Then he poured a cup of the goji berry water that Yin Tangxiu had brewed,

and drank it in big gulps.

"Dayou-san?"

"Hi, good morning Naoki-san, Xiuyi-san. By the way, Xiuyi-san, this goji berry water of yours seems pretty good. Remember to share some goji berries with me later."

Only then did Yin Tangxiu and Naoki Nagayama see Fangcun Dayou's appearance.

This bald old man had a sallow complexion, deep-set eye sockets, bloodshot eyes, and pale lips; at a glance, he looked like he was lacking vitality.

Seeing him like this, Naoki Nagayama was a bit worried: "Dayou-san, are you sick? Is your health okay?"

Yin Tangxiu on the side said slowly: "Dayou-san, you're not young anymore; there are some things that still need to be restrained~"

Fangcun Dayou drank the goji berry water, feeling bitter in his heart. Is it that I don't want to restrain myself?

Thinking of the situation last night again, he couldn't help but shiver...

Naoki Nagayama looked at Fangcun Dayou's weak appearance and seemed to understand something.

Together with Yin Tangxiu, he laughed uncharitably.

"Hahaha, Dayou-san~ take care of your health~"

Try it when you get to my age! Fangcun Dayou was emo; even the film dividends couldn't make him recover...

After chatting for a while, Naoki Nagayama and Fangcun Dayou prepared to set off.

Yin Teng Chunzi was from Hokkaido. This time, coming to Tokyo to participate in the competition, she was staying at a relative's house in Tokyo.

Fangcun Dayou drove Naoki Nagayama toward Nakano Ward.

On the way, Fangcun Dayou couldn't help but say: "Naoki-san, are you dressed too exaggeratedly today? It's not like we're going to attend some media meeting or something."

"Dayou-san, I just wore formal attire..."

"Standing next to Naoki-san, it feels like a star with an agent."

So being handsome is my fault?

Naoki Nagayama was helpless, looking at the familiar low-rise buildings outside the car window. He had lived in Nakano Ward for almost a year; he felt a bit nostalgic at this moment.

Turning a few corners and driving along an alley for a while, the place where Yin Teng Chunzi was temporarily staying arrived.

It was a common detached house seen everywhere in Nakano Ward, with "Arai Family" written on the doorplate.

Fangcun Dayou looked after getting out of the car: "Arai Family, Yoshi, that's right, it's this one."

Then he took out the gift for the visit from the trunk: "Naoki-san, you'll have to hold this today~"

"Hi~ Fangcun-bucho!"

As discussed earlier, today Fangcun Dayou would play the role of the person in charge, and Naoki Nagayama would just be accompanying staff.

And they planned to pin the blame for the accidental sign-holding on him.

The older Fangcun Dayou took the first step and rang the doorbell, while the young Naoki Nagayama followed silently behind. However, it wasn't that the person behind was too handsome; this was originally a perfectly normal appearance.

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman in home clothes stood in the entryway.

"Good morning~ May I ask if this is Mrs. Arai?

We are from the Girl's Group agency, and we had an appointment to visit!"

Fangcun Dayou bowed very formally to greet her, and Naoki Nagayama followed suit.

"Yes, yes, hello, please come in quickly."

"Excuse us~"

After entering the door, Fangcun Dayou signaled Naoki Nagayama to present the gift.

"This is our first visit; this is a small token of our sincerity, please don't mind it."

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the gift box.

Suddenly seeing such a handsome guy, Mrs. Arai's eyes lit up, and her smile widened a bit: "You are too polite~ Please come to the living room and sit down. Yin Teng Chunzi is inside, I'll go pour you some tea."

Following Mrs. Arai's guidance, they pulled open the sliding door and saw that there were already four people inside: two middle-aged men, who should be Mr. Arai and Mr. Yin Teng, a middle-aged woman who was Mrs. Yin Teng, and a young girl, Yin Teng Chunzi. ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
