Chapter 1247

Mid-August, it is the hottest day of the year.

At Narita International Airport, a white Gulfstream jet slowly landed, and then under the command of the tower, slowly drove into a hangar specifically reserved for it.

Not long after, a driver pushing luggage and a cat carrier walked out of the special passage, followed by a tall man holding a child and a lady in sunglasses pulling a Labrador...

The silver-gray Rolls-Royce Silver Spur drove out of the airport parking lot and nimbly dove into the bustling traffic of Dongjing like a live fish.

"Ah... finally back!"

Finally back at the familiar Shanyingyuan, Naoki Nagayama sighed.

The room had already turned on the constant temperature air conditioning, which was a comfortable and pleasant 26 degrees; after walking in, one felt a burst of coolness.

A white figure darted past; Eitaro was so excited after returning home that he was going to his nest in a flash.

"Hua-chan."

Naoki Nagayama held little Xia Hua, who was walking on the ground,

"Went out for a trip, do you still remember home? Do you still remember your favorite sofa and little bed?"

"~~fa~~"

Little Xia Hua pointed at the sofa in the living room, very excited; her little short legs started to run over... Not to mention anything else, her balance in walking had improved a lot during the half-month on the island.

Seeing the little one on the carpet in the living room, Naoki Nagayama didn't worry much and turned to talk to the nanny, Nono Moli:

"Hua-chan sat on the plane for more than two hours without sleeping; she looks very energetic now, she'll probably sleep in a while..."

"Hai..." Nono Moli nodded, "I'll give Hua-chan some water and coax her to sleep in a while..."

"Mm..."

Turning his head again, Akina was already greeting the butler, Afu, and the driver, Toda Zhian, to move the suitcases and such into the house.

Although this trip to Jurassic Island wasn't a tourist attraction, they still brought back quite a few things, such as necklaces made of seashells they picked up, specialty seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, and other miscellaneous gifts and other things.

After letting Miao Tai Lang out of the cat carrier, Akina started to organize...

"These are to be given to friends in the industry..."

Because of their schedules, Koizumi Kyoko and Okada Yukiko both missed the party; this was something that couldn't be helped. They were just entertainers and weren't as free as Akina.

"These are for the older brothers and sisters... and for Lighting and Little Ai..."

Naoki Nagayama picked up a dinosaur-shaped float; this was a specialty product of Jurassic Island in the future:

"Aha, this is for Big Brother... forgot to let Mother and the others bring it back."

"On Aoki Big Brother's side, Sister-in-law Xiangjia should be giving birth soon, right?" Akina raised her head and asked, "I'll bring it when we go to visit then."

"Mm, the due date is this week..."

Naoki Nagayama put the float away, preparing to bring it when he returned to Jinggang in a few days.

Watching Akina organize the luggage nimbly, Naoki Nagayama advised:

"Just got back, why are you in such a hurry to organize? Rest for a while first."

"Can't..." Akina raised her head and smiled, "Yanyin is very anxious... I have to go over and take a look in the afternoon, so I'll pick out the gifts for Zhenxi-chan and Huajian-san and the others in advance..."

Naoki Nagayama knew that Akina was going out in the afternoon; after all, a few days ago, the early promotion for "Shipwreck" had already started, and the revealed recording was also revealed on some programs... The style, completely different from previous songs, quickly made this song arouse the curiosity of the audience and fans.

Akina also received a call from Yanyin, needing to hurry and discuss the subsequent song promotion with the agency.

"Oh, right..."

Akina suddenly said,

"I have to go to a training class in the evening!"

"Ah... the duet song with Michael Jackson?"

"Hai~" Akina looked at little Xia Hua on the sofa to the side with some apology, "I might come back very late in the evening... I can't coax Hua-chan."

Naoki Nagayama glanced at the little one who was drinking water while looking around and shook his head,

"Looking at how excited she is, maybe when you come back, Akina, she still won't be asleep!"

"If she's not asleep, I'll coax her then~"

Akina smiled at Naoki Nagayama,

"Naoki-san, I'll leave Hua-chan to you this afternoon~"

"Mm, leave it to me!"

Anyway, Naoki Nagayama had nothing to do if he didn't go to the company...

After noon, under the scorching summer sun, even the Nihon salarymen who pursued struggle had to shrink into the shade to rest for a while.

At Yanyin's headquarters, there was nothing important at this time, and it was also dull and stuffy; even the sound of talking was much less.

But soon, a car stopped outside the glass gate, and then it was like a switch had been pressed, making the office building lively all at once~

"Akina-chan is here!" "Akina-chan is back from vacation!" "She even brought gifts!" "..."

The discussion started from the front desk all the way to the President's office, which Huajian He heard, and he hurried out.

And in the office area, he saw Akina distributing the little gifts she brought back to the employees.

"This is a specialty of Ehime Prefecture, Ehime mandarin oranges..."

Akina let everyone taste the Ehime mandarin oranges she brought back, and after seeing Huajian He, she sent over the Iyo floral cloth she specially brought back,

"Huajian-san, this is Iyo floral cloth from Ehime Prefecture, very suitable for making kimonos and fabric crafts..."

"Arigato~"

Huajian He naturally accepted the gift and then took Akina to the office to talk.

"This time on the island in the Seto Inland Sea... ah, Jurassic Island, how does the vacation feel?"

"Haha, it's all tropical seaside, a bit like Xia Weiyi." Akina said with a smile, "But there are no golf courses or anything..."

"Why, didn't you build one?"

Golf, which spread from abroad, has always been considered a rich man's sport; Huajian He felt that if Naoki Nagayama was on his own island, he would definitely build one.

"There is no such plan; Jurassic Island is mainly various dinosaur theme parks, and amusement facilities and the like."

"Isn't that about the same as Disney Park? When can I go over to play?"

"Haha, I guess I have to wait until my Naoki finishes filming 'Jurassic Park'..."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Huajian He started talking about business.

"Akina... during the time you were on vacation, the popularity of 'BLONDE' has dropped quite a bit; in order to maintain the record of being on the announcement list for 4 consecutive years, we released the recording of 'Shipwreck' in advance and started promoting it early..."

"Hai, I understand!" Akina understood very well; she actually wanted to keep this record too, "Now that I'm back, just start promoting the song directly..."

"Akina understands, that's good." Huajian He nodded, "Then when can Akina return to work?"

"Today is fine!" Akina's eyes were firm, "I'm already back from vacation!"

"Then let's hold the promotion planning meeting for 'Shipwreck' this afternoon!"

"No problem!"

With Nakamori Akina as the backbone, there would naturally be no shortage of other cooperating employees. Under Huajian He's summons, the employees of Akina's promotion department soon arrived at the conference room.

"Akina is already back from vacation; we must immediately invest in the promotion work of 'Shipwreck'!"

Tanaka Yoshiaki set the theme of the meeting,

"We must take winning the Record Award as the final goal and carry out the planning work for this record!"

"Next, let's start with Shimada Yuzo's speech..."

Akina sat in the first seat on the right, listening intently to the speeches of the key members, occasionally interjecting her own opinions.

"In terms of clothing and styling... focus on classical elegance; Western-style off-shoulder dresses and Japanese-style kimonos can both be considered..."

"In terms of color, focus on darker tones, but plain white can be considered for the kimono..."

"In terms of stage display, focus on showing a sense of loneliness and brokenness..."

"There's no need for too many dance moves; this song mainly values singing voice and singing technique..."

"Promotion strategy..." "Offline activities..."

"......"

At this time in the conference room, Akina shed the look of a spoiled little woman at home and fully displayed the aura of a career-oriented woman~

At the same time, Naoki Nagayama at Shanyingyuan was not so anxious to step into work.

After coaxing little Xia Hua to sleep, he relaxed for a while in the living room, teased Miao Tai Lang who was still high from catnip, patted the dog's head, and then sat on the eaves corridor with iced watermelon, loosely admiring the dry landscape in the yard...

Right, he also took a short nap~

After his spirit was fully restored, he washed his face and walked into the study.

Looking at the blank document on the computer screen, Naoki Nagayama silently closed his eyes and started searching for memories in his mind...

"Sa... let me see how the Recruit bribery case started!"

When he was on the island, he decided to expose this case in advance; now that he was back, it was time to officially arrange it!

"So... everything started from the Kawasaki Information Building of the Recruit Company in Kawasaki City~"

The fragmented memories in his head quickly connected into one, allowing Naoki Nagayama to clarify the timeline of this major bribery case that brought down two governments.

It started with a real estate project in Kawasaki City; there were reports that the former Director of the Planning Adjustment Bureau, Komatsu Hideki, accepted bribes and sold a piece of land to the Recruit Company in violation of regulations.

However, at the beginning, the police station did not investigate deeply and directly stopped the case due to lack of evidence.

Then the media heard the news and tracked the evidence of the Recruit Company transferring stocks to this bureau director, but it still didn't cause any big splash...

Until a mysterious person exposed that the Recruit Company had also transferred stocks to many social celebrities and high-ranking government officials, which caused public opinion to explode all at once, starting a nationwide public opinion storm and causing the entire Nihon to shake.

Because this incident happened in Nihon's golden bubble era, and it involved bribery and politics, it directly took down two Prime Ministers and countless social celebrities, and the impact was too great and legendary... so the discussion it caused was enduring~

Even in the Internet information era, there were countless netizens searching and visiting, almost stripping away every aspect of the event and putting it on domestic forums for discussion, which made Naoki Nagayama remember it deeply.

Naoki Nagayama pushed aside those water-filling discussions and bragging, trying hard to recall specific information...

"Komatsu Hideki, accepted 30,000 shares in bribes, profit 120 million..."

"Defense Agency Director Kato, accepted 5,000 shares in bribes, profit 20 million..."

"Liberal Democratic Party Policy Research Council Chairman, Watanabe Michio, accepted 5,000 shares in bribes, profit 26 million..."

"And former Minister of Education Mori Yoshiro, Minister of Finance Miyazawa Kiichi, Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Abe Shintaro... even Prime Minister Nakasone Yasuhiro was involved..."

"Aha, Takeshita Noboru... Iwate Long-term Policy Discussion Meeting... 30 million yen to buy banquet tickets..."

"Also accepted 25 million in political donations!"

"And when running for Prime Minister, secretary Aoki Ihei borrowed 50 million yen from the Recruit Company..."

Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes,

"This should have already been borrowed by now! After all, he has already started to build momentum to run for Prime Minister!"

The entire Recruit bribery case timeline lasted more than ten years; the simple investigation of the case and the fermentation process of public opinion lasted for two years!

Not to mention the various resistances, various storms, and unknown pushers faced... After all, this case involved most of the high-level government officials, and even two Prime Ministers were involved...

If all the information were released at once, facing such a case, I'm afraid the first thought of the investigative agency would be to suppress it and clear the trail... clear the trail at any cost!

After fully recalling the storm and danger caused by this case, Naoki Nagayama regretted asking Fangcun Dayou for the contact information of the newspaper reporter.

It's not that he didn't trust Dayou-san enough, but that he should have prevented the possibility of information leakage from the beginning; who knows if Fangcun Dayou would talk in his sleep after getting drunk!

"So... it should have been completely confidential from the beginning, handled by me alone!"

"Even letting Tree Friends Capital completely withdraw from Recruit-related projects was a bit deliberate!

But only I and Yuantai-san knew about the internal decision; other handling personnel were just following the process, so it shouldn't matter; they wouldn't associate it with future storms~"

"Dayou-san's friend, can't let him break the news... but can't not contact him either, making Dayou-san suspicious... just let him report that the Film Association doesn't need control, as a cover on the surface..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the information on the document and thought silently,

"As for the Recruit bribery case, I need to release news step by step, let public opinion expand step by step, until the politicians want to put a lid on it but can't, and finally have to stand in the sun and face the public's condemnation..."

"Before this, I cannot tell others this information; Akina, Dayou-san, Xiu-san... none of them can be revealed!"

"When revealing information, it needs to be completely confidential..."

Actually, Naoki Nagayama only needs to make a start, and then naturally there will be reporters and media pursuing the truth to check... But in order to accelerate the explosion of public opinion, at some key nodes, he also needs to push it again!

"Step one..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the first line in the information,

"Let's start with this small Planning Adjustment Bureau Director, Komatsu Hideki!"

"Director Komatsu Hideki, the Planning Bureau itself is a fat job, and you still accept bribes... really no bottom line!"

Naoki Nagayama recorded his information separately, and deleted other information directly; his own brain is the safest storage tool!

Just at this time, Naoki Nagayama saw the draft of Sailor Moon he drew before, and the illustration of Sailor Moon saying "I will punish you in the name of the moon" appeared before his eyes...

"Next, let me represent justice and fairness to expose you!"
