Chapter 1239

As the temperature continued to rise, August finally arrived.

The sky hung with a scorching sun, its intense light and heat pressing down on the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, making people have to find a cool place to quietly hide from the high temperature.

Of course, nightlife became even more lively because of this. At night, neon lights replaced the sunlight, and the brightly lit streets were full of people out and about. KTVs, bars, and nightclubs were even more packed with customers, making Tokyo's "city that never sleeps" even more deserving of the name.

And just on the morning of early August, Naoki Nagayama's family had already packed their things, ready to escape Tokyo and go to the Seto Inland Sea for a vacation~

"Naoki-san, is there anything else that needs to be put in the suitcase?"

Akina asked while stuffing little Xia Hua's toys into the suitcase.

"I only need two sets of clothes to change into...." Naoki Nagayama walked over holding little Xia Hua and took a look, "We don't even need to bring wallets this time~"

This time they were going to Jurassic Island. The supplies for the resort hotel and everything else had been purchased by the event company he had asked to help a few days ago, and the hotel staff and chef team were all hired with his money.

The island was full of construction teams hired by his own company, and even the shops on the island were only able to open because of the relationship between the construction team and Shuyou. All the goods belonged to Shuyou, which was to say, to him, Naoki Nagayama, and could be taken at will; there was no need to spend money at all.....

"But sunscreen, sun hats, and things like that, we always have to bring our own!"

Akina said,

"And Hua-chan's supplies....."

Naoki Nagayama turned his head to look at his daughter in his arms, just happening to meet little Xia Hua's innocent eyes:

"Hua-chan, is there anything else you want to bring?"

"......"

The little one looked left and right, seemingly understanding something, and suddenly reached out to point at the big white dog lying by the wall,

"Wang wang...."

"Uh..... you want to bring Yingtailang along too!"

At this time, Yingtailang also heard his own name and walked over slowly, his short, thick tail wagging happily.

"....."

Akina heard it too, and she said with some surprise:

"Hua-chan might not understand what it means, she just pointed randomly....."

Naoki Nagayama nodded. They had originally intended to leave the dog at Shanying Yuan; after all, there was a housekeeper here, so they didn't have to worry about no one taking care of him.....

However, looking at the dog with its tongue hanging out.... Naoki Nagayama felt a slight touch in his heart.

"Forget it, let's bring Yingtailang along too. We didn't bring him on vacations before because of transportation issues...."

Before, when they went out, the dog couldn't get on high-speed trains or planes and needed to be checked in, which was both troublesome and dangerous.

But this time they were taking a private jet! Their own dog taking their own plane didn't need a ticket!

"Besides, Labradors are water retrievers, they can swim too!"

"Alright~"

Akina touched the dog's head and agreed, but she looked at the orange cat in the cat bed,

"But since Yingtailang is coming, then Miaotailang can't be left out either!"

"......"

It looked like this time it really was the whole family going on vacation together!

If you don't consider transportation, it's actually not too troublesome for cats and dogs to go out. Just leash the dog, put the cat in a cat carrier, and bring them a bag of cat and dog food....... No need to worry about not having enough; at worst, they could eat rare king crab and sashimi on the island!

By the time the driver, Zhian Toda, came to pick them up, the family had already finished preparing for the trip.

In the spacious Toyota Century, Naoki Nagayama sat in the front passenger seat, Akina held the cat carrier in the back, and little Xia Hua sat securely in her safety seat with the dog at her feet..... and so they drove towards Narita Airport together~

There was no help for it; the cat and dog were added at the last minute, so it could only be a little crowded..... It looks like they'll have to buy a larger commercial vehicle next time to make it easier for the whole family to go out!

"Toda-kun."

On the road, Naoki Nagayama instructed Zhian Toda,

"Around the 10th, please go pick up Hezi and bring her to the airport..... at Waseda University. Then on the 11th, go to Qinglai to pick up Akina's mother."

"The private jet will be waiting then..."

For the birthday party a week later, Akina's family had only invited Chieko, along with a few of her close friends. Kyoko Koizumi and Yukiko Okada were rarely able to spare a day..... but they both had agency cars, so there was no need to pick them up.

"Hai!"

Zhian Toda nodded seriously; picking up the boss's sister and mother-in-law was naturally no problem.

As a dedicated driver, Zhian Toda was actually Naoki Nagayama's trusted aide; many things could be entrusted to him, as he even knew where his home was.

This person had been specifically found and arranged by Otomo Yoshimura back then, and his family all worked in the Shuyou Group~

"What about Naoki-san's parents?"

Akina asked when she heard this.

"They can just wait at the small airport in Shizuoka...."

"And other friends?"

"Haha, don't worry, they will all arrive in time."

During their chat, the car had already arrived at Narita Airport, and then they took a special passage directly to the hangar for private jets.

"Naoki-san!"

The pilot, Kazuhiko Suda, was standing very responsibly by the landing gear waiting for Naoki Nagayama's party,

"You're here!"

"Haha, Suda-san, long time no see!"

Naoki Nagayama reached out to shake his hand and said with a smile,

"We'll be using the plane many times in the first half of August, so I'll be troubling you again!"

"Not at all, this is my job!"

Signaling for the other crew members to help move the luggage, Kazuhiko Suda led Naoki Nagayama towards the plane cabin,

"Naoki-san didn't use the plane much before, I felt a bit ashamed taking my salary!"

Naoki Nagayama just laughed off this polite remark. He had been a wage earner before; getting paid for doing nothing would make him die of laughter, how could he feel ashamed!

The interior of the cabin was clean and tidy, looking well-maintained at a glance. The entertainment and leisure areas were spacious and open, capable of accommodating over a dozen people at once.

After little Xia Hua came in, she opened her curious eyes and looked around, while Yingtailang was already darting back and forth to inspect his territory, leaving only Miaotailang in the cat carrier..... high on catnip~

After a short while, the Gulfstream jet took off from Narita Airport and headed towards the Seto Inland Sea.

In the office of the Shuyou building, Otomo Yoshimura was looking at the sky outside the window....

"Naoki-san should be almost there by now.... Tsk, vacationing comfortably himself while leaving us in Tokyo to continue working..... what a capitalist!"

Otomo Yoshimura muttered to himself, completely failing to consider that he was also a capitalist within the Shuyou interest group.

Just as he was about to continue working, the office door was pushed open, and Shuichi Yin Tang walked in, bringing Eiichiro Watanabe from the publicity department.

"Otomo-san....." Shuichi Yin Tang nodded and sat down, "Naoki-san should have given instructions regarding the public opinion control for Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi, right?"

"Hmm.... he gave instructions when Momoe Yamaguchi returned to the public eye; apart from movie promotion, don't let the media excessively disturb their private lives."

Otomo Yoshimura was a bit surprised,

"What's wrong?"

Shuichi Yin Tang didn't speak; he tilted his head to signal Eiichiro Watanabe.

And Eiichiro Watanabe handed several reports to Otomo Yoshimura:

"Otomo-san, the rumors about Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi's relationship discord have been intensifying..... a cold-treatment approach might not work anymore...."

Otomo Yoshimura had known about the gossip regarding Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi before, but he hadn't taken that kind of tabloid news as a big deal; a cold-treatment approach would make it subside soon.

"How could that be?"

Otomo Yoshimura took the newspaper and saw the report from the "Tokyo Sports Newspaper"...... this was already considered a major newspaper.

"Momoe Yamaguchi cries in sorrow, suspected family changes...... Neighbors reveal Momoe Yamaguchi's eyes were red and swollen when buying groceries..... Kindergarten-related personnel reveal that tear stains could be seen on Momoe Yamaguchi's face when picking up her child...."

Otomo Yoshimura asked Eiichiro Watanabe directly, "Didn't we clear the air with these major media outlets before? How could they report on Momoe Yamaguchi's affairs?"

"Perhaps Momoe Yamaguchi's divorce news is just too attractive.... Those guys at the sports newspaper have always been willing to report fake news for exposure...."

"Hmm...."

Otomo Yoshimura stroked his chin,

"It looks like the guys at the sports newspaper have forgotten the previous lesson..... has Shuyou not taken action for too long, and the media circle has forgotten Shuyou's methods?"

"....." Eiichiro Watanabe remained silent.

"Eiichiro, go contact the editorial department of the 'Tokyo Sports Newspaper' and express our dissatisfaction...."

Otomo Yoshimura paused,

"Then tell them, don't even think about getting any information on Shuyou's artists this month!!! If they continue to report, Shuyou's doors won't welcome them in the future!"

Shuyou currently had one of the hottest idols, Shizuka Kudo, the lead actress of the currently popular "Long Vacation", Chikako Aoyama, and numerous first and second-tier idol artists...... It could be said to be one of the sources of hot topics in the entertainment industry.

Originally, Shuyou would reveal information about artists to major media outlets to create hot topics and attract exposure..... this was originally a win-win situation.

If the "Tokyo Sports Newspaper" were excluded, their hot topics would be much fewer, and the competitive pressure from other newspapers would rise significantly.....

"Hai!"

"Eiichiro!"

Shuichi Yin Tang added,

"Tell them, if they continue like this, there won't be any invitations for them to the Tokyo International Film Festival in October either!"

"This...."

Eiichiro Watanabe was a bit surprised; this would cause a major newspaper to lose a whole month's worth of hot topics, but he still nodded,

"Hai, I will convey it clearly!"

After Eiichiro Watanabe left, Shuichi Yin Tang said to Otomo Yoshimura:

"Naoki-san, this guy, leaves as soon as he says he's going..... and we still have to help him fulfill his promises...."

"Hahaha, we'll go and drink him under the table when the time comes!"

Otomo Yoshimura laughed,

"Shuichi-san, you haven't been to Jurassic Island yet, have you?"

"Yeah.... I heard it's very beautiful!"

On Jurassic Island.

Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino from the Honma Design Office were waiting in the small airport, accompanied by the manager of the hotel service team and several foremen from the island's construction team.

They were all here to welcome Naoki Nagayama, or rather, they were all here to see this behind-the-scenes big boss who had been famous for a long time but whom they hadn't really seen.

This entire island belonged to him, and the massive park planning on the island was also initiated by him, but except for Naoya Sakata, no one else had ever had contact with Naoki Nagayama!

"Sakata-san, how long are Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori staying this time?"

Takahiro Makino, as a junior, had met Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori once and had a very deep impression of the two.

"About ten days or so...... it seems they also want to celebrate their child's birthday."

During this time, Takahiro Makino had watched the resort hotel area on the island suddenly intensify its cleaning, and hired a professional service team, security personnel, and people from an event support company to come to the island to prepare for the event......

Watching one supply ship after another enter and leave the port, countless ingredients and all kinds of items were transported to the hotel....

"To actually come to a private island for a vacation and a birthday, rich people are truly extravagant!"

Naoya Sakata shook his head:

"Why don't you say that the entire Jurassic Park on this island is a private park for his daughter?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, more extravagant than the royal family...."

"What's the royal family worth...... the various financial cliques are just about the same~"

The two were chatting when they saw a plane slowly appear on the horizon, circling Jurassic Island a few times, then slowly lowering its altitude and landing towards the small airport.

"It's here!"

Naoya Sakata hurriedly notified the others to prepare, while Takahiro Makino sighed again,

"Even traveling by private jet..... tsk tsk...."

After a slight feeling of weightlessness, Naoki Nagayama felt the plane land on the runway, its speed slowly coming to a stop.

Pilot Kazuhiko Suda only came out of the cockpit after the plane was steady, and opened the cabin door after seeing the elevator from the small airport come over.

"Naoki-san, we've arrived!"

"Ha~ finally here!"

Naoki Nagayama walked out of the cabin door holding little Xia Hua, who was a bit scared. Akina followed behind carrying the cat carrier and holding Yingtailang. As for the luggage, it would naturally be handled by the ground crew later.

"Naoki-san!"

Just after stepping off the plane, they saw Naoya Sakata and Takahiro Makino walking over.

"Sakata-san, Makino-kun!"

Naoya Sakata asked familiarly:

"Was the trip smooth?"

"Hmm.... smooth sailing all the way..." Naoki Nagayama tilted his head to look at little Xia Hua in his arms, "It's just that Hua-chan was a bit scared...."

Children had never experienced the feeling of weightlessness and the sky, so she was a little scared, but little Xia Hua didn't cry.

"That's good then...."

Naoya Sakata turned his head and greeted Akina Nakamori as well,

"Akina-san, sashiburi...."

"Sakata-san, sashiburi...."

Then Naoya Sakata led the group towards the entrance of the small airport, where the others on Jurassic Island were waiting!

"Naoki-san, this is the service team for the resort hotel, and this is the manager, Shinichiro Matsumura...."

Naoya Sakata introduced them one by one.

"Nagayama-san, Mrs. Nagayama..... nice to meet you, I am Shinichiro Matsumura, we have been in contact over the phone before."

Shinichiro Matsumura bowed very respectfully, then pointed to the few people behind him and said,

"These people are the hotel's service team, it is an honor to serve you during this time."

"Nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama...."

Naoki Nagayama also bowed slightly, while Akina, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, had the aura of the lady of the house perfectly in check,

"Nice to meet you, I'll be troubling you during this time, Matsumura-san!"

"This is what we should do!"

After Shinichiro Matsumura finished speaking, he signaled for two service staff to take the luggage from the crew and send it to the resort hotel later.

And Naoya Sakata didn't stop, continuing to introduce the others:

"These are the construction teams for the Jurassic Park project, foremen Akio Nishioka, Akio Kai......"

These few looked more like workers, wearing washed-out white work clothes, their faces bearing the traces left by sun and rain.

"Nice to meet you, we are....."

"Nice to meet you...."

After exchanging greetings, Naoki Nagayama spoke directly,

"Foreman Nishioka, Foreman Kai, thank you for your hard work on the previous project.....

We just got off the plane and are in a hurry to get settled, so I'll invite everyone for a drink in a while..... to properly treat everyone."

"Not at all...""Nagayama-san is too polite!""....."

The foremen were all very respectful; after all, this was the real god of wealth!

After chatting at the airport for a while and sending the foremen off, Naoki Nagayama and Akina got on the shuttle bus directly to the resort hotel.... the kind of semi-open sightseeing vehicle for attractions....

On the way, Akina and little Xia Hua looked at the scenery outside the car with some curiosity......

The first phase of Jurassic Island had been completed, so they could see the small town at the port and several special parks, as well as dinosaur sculptures that could be seen from time to time on the road, the occasional worker..... and the forest further away and the blue sea surface....

"Naoki-san, are you going to film a movie on this island in the second half of the year?"

"Hmm, it's estimated to be after October, until the end of the year...." Naoki Nagayama said, "There are still giant dinosaur models that haven't been made yet...."

"It looks very interesting!"

"Akina can come to visit the set often then.... it takes about the same time to get here as it does to the filming base in Ota Ward..."

"Haha, that would be too embarrassing!"

"What's wrong with that! Anyway, the private jet is there, might as well use it...."

The two didn't avoid anyone with their conversation. The hotel staff driving the car and Naoya Sakata and the others all silently envied them in their hearts; what hateful rich people!

After less than ten minutes, they saw the resort hotel located in the bay of Jurassic Island.

The hotel, full of Hawaiian style, was nestled in a coconut grove. The exposed log exterior walls were full of primitive atmosphere. In the garden, under huge sun umbrellas, tables and chairs for gatherings were scattered, and the decorative flowers were blooming enthusiastically.

Not far outside was a crescent-shaped shallow bay, where light blue seawater pushed waves towards the shore, drawing winding ripples on the white sand beach.....

"We're here!"

Naoki Nagayama said to Akina with a smile,

"It's very beautiful!"

"Yeah..."

Akina looked at the resort hotel with satisfaction, feeling that it was no less than the vacation resorts on Xia Weiyi Island,

"We can surf during the day, and have outdoor barbecues and watch the stars at night!"

Naoki Nagayama got out of the car holding little Xia Hua, and incidentally let go of the dog that had been excited for a long time, letting Yingtailang go and frolic to his heart's content...... then he and Akina walked towards the interior of the hotel.

"Let's go to the room and take a look, and rest for a while.... I see Hua-chan is a bit tired too...."

"Let's start our leisurely vacation after she wakes up!"

"Hmm!"
