Chapter 1186

Naoki Nagayama has been to the headquarters of TV Asahi many times, so he drove in from the main gate of the parking garage with ease.

The TV station never stops day or night, and even at night, there are many people coming in and out. Originally, no one would pay too much attention to one extra person... However, when this person is also holding a small child, it is inevitable to attract attention.

Naoki Nagayama walked in the TV station holding little Xia Hua, heading towards Akina's lounge.

Now he is not worried about his little Xia Hua being photographed. As long as any media dares to expose little Xia Hua's face without his consent, then they have to be careful of the legal department of the Shuyou Group and a group of interest groups that have close relationships with Naoki Nagayama~

So when other stars with children either hide them tightly and don't go out at all, or cover them up with masks and the like after going out, Naoki Nagayama walks generously in the TV Asahi building holding little Xia Hua.

This is the privilege brought by status, position, and money~

"That is... Naoki Nagayama!"

The receptionist Samin Murai naturally saw Naoki Nagayama. She still remembers that when Naoki Nagayama picked up Akina Nakamori at the entrance of the TV station, a sudden flash of inspiration created a song "Sunny Day" for Akina Nakamori, which caused a sensation...

At that time, it was her notebook that was borrowed. Now the original manuscript of that song has become Samin Murai's precious collection, and even the department head can't buy it!

"Naoki-san came to the TV station? And brought a small baby?"

"It should be his and Akina Nakamori's daughter, right?! So cute~"

"Uh... should we notify the department head?"

Naoki Nagayama didn't greet the front desk. Little Xia Hua was anxious to find her mother, so he walked towards the lounge... As early as when he was in the car, he called Maki Ueda and found out where his wife's lounge was.

Along the way, he could occasionally see familiar faces. After all, Naoki Nagayama has friends everywhere in the entertainment industry~

Everyone would greet Naoki Nagayama after seeing him, and then praise little Xia Hua after seeing her. Anyway, for a baby of this age, just praising her as cute is right, making little Xia Hua shyly bury her head in her father's arms.

"Naoki-san..."

Finally saw Maki Ueda waiting in the corridor,

"This way, this way... Hua-chan is here too!"

Little Xia Hua also had an impression of this big sister who was often with her mother, and showed a little smile.

"Maki-chan... hasn't Akina finished the broadcast yet?"

Naoki Nagayama saw that the door of the lounge was open, and there was no one inside.

"Hai... currently 'Music Station' hasn't ended yet..."

This program starts from prime time and lasts until after ten o'clock. Naoki Nagayama saw Akina on the show at home, and then it only took half an hour to drive to TV Asahi.

"Ah... then let's wait a little while..." Naoki Nagayama looked at his watch, and it was about time. He lowered his head and said to little Xia Hua, "Hua-chan, wait a little while, Mom will... uh... come out from that direction!"

Naoki Nagayama learned the direction of the studio from Maki Ueda. He originally intended to wait with Xia Hua in the lounge, but little Xia Hua would keep making a fuss if she was indoors, so he could only hold her and wait in the corridor...

As for taking her directly into the studio, it's not impossible... But it's a live broadcast there. If the camera lens turns, wouldn't Xia Hua debut on the spot!

When there are many people, little Xia Hua seems relatively quiet, just hugging Naoki Nagayama's neck, looking towards the direction of the corridor lens... waiting for Akina to appear.

And Naoki Nagayama standing in the corridor itself is a huge source of gravity...

First, Yuji Otake, the section chief of the production bureau, hurried over:

"Naoki-san... why didn't you say anything when you came over! Ah... this..."

Yuji Otake saw the baby Naoki Nagayama was holding at once, and was a little surprised.

"This is my daughter, Xia Hua..." Naoki Nagayama nodded and said, looking at little Xia Hua who had shrunk into his arms again, he smiled, "A bit shy..."

"Haha, Xia Hua?" Yuji Otake praised with a smile, "So cute..."

Then he asked:

"Isn't Naoki-san filming 'Departures' recently? Why did you come to TV Asahi today?"

"This..."

Naoki Nagayama was a little embarrassed,

"Little Xia Hua saw the live broadcast of 'Music Station' at home, and after seeing Mom, she kept making a fuss to see Akina... I had no choice but to bring her over..."

"Ha?"

Yuji Otake looked at little Xia Hua, who was not making a sound, with some surprise. It's hard to imagine that it was because of this reason... Is Naoki Nagayama too good to little Xia Hua? Is this the rhythm of doting?

And he also realized the importance the Nagayama couple attaches to this daughter... At a young age, she is pampered... In the future, Nagayama Xia Hua will definitely be a little princess envied by everyone in the entertainment industry!

"Naoki-san, why don't you wait in my office?"

Yuji Otake said, he wants to communicate more with Naoki Nagayama...

"That won't do..." Naoki Nagayama sighed and patted little Xia Hua's head, "Hua-chan will keep making a fuss after entering the room... She wants to see Akina as soon as possible..."

"Ha?"

Just as the two were chatting, Yosuke Nakano, the planning department head of the TV station, also hurried over, and the way he greeted was almost the same:

"Naoki-san... why didn't you say anything when you came over..."

"..."

Maki Ueda on the side was a little speechless. The section chiefs and department heads who usually can't be seen are all here for Naoki Nagayama. Is the next one going to be the TV station president?!

Soon, the corridor where Naoki Nagayama was located gathered several key figures of the TV station, making the staff walking through the corridor dare not stay, and people from other entertainment agencies cast curious glances.

"Naoki-san..."

Department head Yosuke Nakano asked as if chatting,

"Recently, Shuyou's Shuichi-san has been organizing salons frequently... Is there any big action?! Is there anything we can help with?"

"Ah... salon, movie appreciation salon?"

Naoki Nagayama didn't pay too much attention to the progress of Shuichi Ido. After suggesting the upper-level route before, it seems that Shuichi-san has already started!

"Shuichi-san should be preparing for the first proposal of the Tokyo Film Industry Association..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't need to hide this:

"It's about the rights protection bill for film practitioners, including minimum wage standards, working hour standards, privacy protection, etc..."

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's explanation, Yosuke Nakano thought it was another appeal-type proposal. There are always a few similar proposals every year.

The Tokyo Film Industry Association is just shouting some absolutely correct slogans, just to invite fame~

"This kind of proposal, our Asahi will definitely support it too!"

He didn't expect that Shuichi Ido really wants to make some changes this time, at least in terms of privacy protection, to give artists a legal basis... At least let those paparazzi and stalkers who use the banner of the right to know restrain themselves a little.

"Haha, then thank you very much..."

After continuing to exchange pleasantries with a few people for a while, Naoki Nagayama politely ended the conversation and let the others go to work... After all, working overtime until now, there must be something to do.

And just when everyone was almost scattered, the side door of the studio at the end of the corridor made a sound, and then a group of well-known faces in the entertainment industry walked out one after another... Among them, the most dazzling one is naturally Akina Nakamori wearing a platinum Hermès battle robe~

"Mom..."

Little Xia Hua saw her mother at a glance, and immediately shouted in her mouth. Her small body also explored towards Akina's direction, her small short legs moved randomly like swimming, and her small hands also reached out wanting a hug...

Inside the studio of "Music Station".

The progress of the live broadcast of the program is coming to an end. Akina Nakamori and a group of guests are sitting together chatting when the camera is not shining.

"Akina-chan..." Yoshie Kashiwabara asked, "Are you going to eat a late-night snack after the broadcast?"

"Ah... I won't eat a late-night snack..." Akina shook her head, "I have to hurry home... Hua-chan won't sleep if she doesn't see me..."

"Eh~~"

The unmarried Yoshie Kashiwabara was very surprised,

"Isn't there a nanny taking care of her? And Naoki-san is also at home?"

Akina smiled:

"When Hua-chan is awake, she must stick with Dad when she sees Dad, but when it's time to sleep, she will definitely stick with me..."

"Hmm? At such a young age, she already knows how to balance water?" Yoshie Kashiwabara joked with a smile, "Half for Mom and Dad."

"Haha~~ Hua-chan might just be like this!"

Seiko Matsuda on the side felt a little helpless... She, who returned to work too early and wanted to enter the overseas market, had much less time to breastfeed her child Sayaka, and most of the time it was her parents who brought her.

And because Masaharu Kanda, who is an actor, is also very busy, there is not much time to spend with his daughter...

Originally in the entertainment industry, for the sake of exposure and popularity, it is a luxury for artists to be able to go home every day~

However, there happened to be an Akina Nakamori, who obviously reduced announcements and exposure, but her popularity remained high... And she happened to have a husband, who could also go home to gather every day...

Thinking of this, Seiko Matsuda couldn't help but echo the cry of "Obviously I was the first" in her mind~

The live broadcast of the program ended. Under the command of the on-site director, the guests left from the side door first.

Akina Nakamori came out of the door talking and laughing with a few acquaintances. As if it were telepathy, she heard the weak "Mom" from the bustling sound at once...

Looking along the sound, I saw her husband waiting in the corridor not far away, and the little person in his arms was trying to reach out to herself~

"Hua-chan..."

Akina subconsciously quickened her pace, even jogging, and soon came to Naoki Nagayama's side, took little Xia Hua over at once, and kissed her several times affectionately.

"Why did Hua-chan come here? Did you miss Mom~"

Then she had time to look at Naoki Nagayama, who had a helpless face:

"Naoki-san, why did you bring Hua-chan here?"

"She saw you on TV... making a fuss to see you... I had no choice, I could only bring her over..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina in front of him with some jealousy. Sure enough, after a woman gives birth to a child, the husband is ranked second... After coming out, she looks directly at the baby, without even saying a greeting~

"Is that so?" Akina lifted little Xia Hua and rubbed her tender cheeks affectionately, "Hua-chan really missed Mom~"

Little Xia Hua happily hugged Akina and made a laughing sound... Akina left in the afternoon, it's only been half a day, not enough to cry~

At this time, other guests also walked over. After seeing little Xia Hua in Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori's arms, they were all very surprised...

If they are not particularly close, they basically won't see the children of other people in the entertainment industry, let alone on occasions like TV stations~

Akina saw others gathering around, and didn't avoid them with little Xia Hua, but proudly introduced her daughter to everyone:

"This is my daughter, Nagayama Xia Hua... She will be one year old this year! She can already walk now, and can call Mom..."

"She can already call Dad, she called today!"

Naoki Nagayama added quickly!

"Honto?"

"I'm not lying to you... she called before coming here!"

"..."

Akina didn't quite believe it, but she would know when she went back at night! So she continued to introduce to a few friends, and bent down slightly to show Xia Hua to them... as if showing off that she gave birth to such a beautiful daughter~

At this time, Yoshie Kashiwabara, Seiko Matsuda, Naoko Kawai, and others were all surrounding Akina, praising the cute baby, making little Xia Hua shy again...

And Naoki Nagayama noticed that a film crew walked out of the studio, one of whom was carrying a camera...

Yasunobu Morishita is a program host of TV Asahi. Today's work is to shoot some behind-the-scenes of popular programs, and sometimes he will break into the stars' lounges.

This is a common thing for TV stations, and it can be interspersed in other programs later, or it can be used as a special project... And artists generally agree~

And today, outside the studio of "Music Station", he saw an unusual gathering phenomenon.

In this group of people, in addition to Akina Nakamori who shone brightly tonight, there were a group of other stars and idols... Intuition told him that there is big news here!

So he quickly brought the film crew over to shoot...

And then... was blocked by a very tall person!

Yasunobu Morishita naturally knew the person in front of him. He is a famous big shot in the entertainment industry—Naoki Nagayama!

"Hello... I am Naoki Nagayama..." Naoki Nagayama greeted very kindly, "May I ask who you are?"

"Nice to meet you, I am Yasunobu Morishita from TV Asahi..." Yasunobu Morishita became nervous at once, "Please take care of me!"

"Morishita-kun..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded and asked,

"Are you shooting behind-the-scenes?"

"Hai... because so many people gathered here, I wanted to come over and see..."

Hearing the answer, Naoki Nagayama continued to explain in a friendly way:

"This is because everyone saw my daughter, Akina is introducing Xia Hua to everyone, so it caused a gathering... If it caused any inconvenience, please forgive me... it will disperse soon~"

"Ah... Naoki-san's daughter?!" Yasunobu Morishita nodded immediately, "So that's it, that's the reason!"

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori have a daughter, which is something the entire entertainment industry knows, but to this day no one has photographed the appearance of the little princess of the Nagayama family...

Yasunobu Morishita was too excited for a moment, and even thought that his bringing a camera crew was a god-given opportunity... If he could photograph it, even if it was just a shot, it would become big news!

And then this delusion was destroyed by Naoki Nagayama in front of him:

"Morishita-kun... Hua-chan is still very young... Akina and I don't want her to be troubled by the media too early..."

"You... must be able to understand, right?!"

"Ah?"

Yasunobu Morishita was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. People don't want him to shoot!

At this moment, the spirit of the original media person rose, and he immediately wanted to use the right to know of the public to prevaricate... But seeing Naoki Nagayama in front of him, he shrank back at once... This is not a person who can be dealt with by this trick!

"Hai..."

Yasunobu Morishita nodded very unwillingly,

"I won't shoot!"

Saying that, he also waved his hand to let the cameraman behind him step back...

"Then thank you very much!" Naoki Nagayama patted Yasunobu Morishita on the shoulder, "Morishita-kun, I remember you!"

"... Arigato!"

Yasunobu Morishita became excited again. Being remembered by a big shot, does it mean that he will be promoted and get a raise and reach the pinnacle of life in the future?!

However, before he could continue to deepen the impression, Naoki Nagayama had already turned around and walked towards the crowd, greeting everyone to go to the lounge.

One minute later, Yasunobu Morishita and the film crew who didn't know what to do for a while were left in the corridor...

"Morishita-san, it seems we can't secretly photograph Naoki's daughter... what should we do next?!"

"What secret photography?"

"Didn't the gesture you just made mean secret photography?"

"That is Naoki Nagayama, you dare to secretly photograph?! Don't you want to continue in the entertainment industry?! Even outside the entertainment industry, he has a relationship with the Yakuza..."

Yasunobu Morishita scolded, and then suddenly recalled the two pats Naoki Nagayama gave him, and the sentence "I remember you..."... Cold sweat broke out in an instant!

Linking this, this sentence is not just praise, it may also be a threat!

"I remember you... if my daughter is photographed today, then I will find you!!!"

"..."

It shouldn't be a threat!

Naoki Nagayama looks like a very kind person!

When going back at night, naturally it was Naoki Nagayama's car.

Akina, who had already changed her clothes, was teasing little Xia Hua in the safety seat in the back row, chatting with Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, is it okay for Xia Hua to come to the TV station today?"

"Daijobu, no one dares to photograph Xia Hua."

Naoki Nagayama is very confident. There is no Weibo or Douyin in this era, and the external voice channel is monopolized,

"Even if paparazzi photographed it, no media would dare to release it!"

"That's good..."

Akina has always trusted her husband, looked at Xia Hua next to her,

"Speaking of which, other children in the entertainment industry as old as Hua-chan... all have to be hidden, otherwise they will be secretly photographed... like Momoe-san's two sons... this is very bad..."

"So... the photography of artists cannot involve family members..."

Naoki Nagayama nodded and then said,

"By the way, Akina... in a while, Shuichi-san might propose a proposal... it's about the protection of artists' privacy rights... do you want to speak out together then?"

As a top idol, Akina Nakamori, if she speaks out, she can definitely cause a greater impact.

"Of course no problem!"

Akina Nakamori nodded. Shuichi-san is Naoki-san's best friend... And listening to Naoki-san's statement, it is a proposal aimed at the privacy protection of stars.

"Haha, then Akina can participate in the parliamentary vote as an artist representative!"

Naoki Nagayama smiled. If the proposal is passed, then Akina's status among actors in the entertainment industry will be more stable!
