Chapter 1257: Holding a man's heart firmly in her hand~
After the meeting, it was already very late when he returned to Shanying Yuan.
This was one of the few times Naoki Nagayama returned home late not because of drinking, but because of working overtime, which even made someone's corporate slave soul a little excited...
Sigh... people can really be tamed; everything in the past will leave traces...
The first to welcome Naoki Nagayama home was naturally the dog. As soon as he got out of the car, it rubbed against its master's thigh, making fawning whimpering sounds.
"Eitaro, you're so big, yet you're still a whiner..."
Naoki Nagayama laughed while petting the dog's head. Who would have thought that such a big dog would always want to act spoiled~
After handing the car keys to the butler, Naoki Nagayama opened the door with the dog.
"Naoki-san, welcome home!"
Akina heard the movement of Naoki Nagayama's return and came to the entrance, bringing little Xia Hua along to welcome the return of the head of the household.
"You worked hard today~~~ Come, Hua-chan, say Daddy worked hard~"
"Dad~dy~" Little Xia Hua only called out once, then reached out to Naoki Nagayama, "Hug~ hug~"
"Hahaha~ Was Hua-chan good today?"
Taking off his coat, Naoki Nagayama took the little one into his arms, and the little bit of fatigue he felt just vanished.
It must be said that in terms of Japanese family culture, it really holds a man's heart firmly... seeing a warm smile every day when you get home, who wouldn't feel warm inside.
After sitting down in the living room with her in his arms, Akina had already brought the juice over and asked with great curiosity:
"Why is Naoki-san so late today?"
"Today..."
Naoki Nagayama sighed. Meetings like this, as long as there is one unreasonable guy, will definitely be long and tedious.
After intimidating Nobuo Asai at the beginning, he didn't expect that this guy would regain his spirit during the subsequent discussion session and keep wanting to add his own ideas to the plan...
Especially when Naoki Nagayama wanted to add a "Jurassic Park Audition" event to the film festival, Nobuo Asai loudly opposed it, saying that the film festival is everyone's film festival and cannot be set up for one person.
The key is that this guy currently has some backers, and when discussing the plan, there were still people in the Executive Committee who supported him.
So, back and forth, although it was finally added, the progress of the discussion was slowed down.
"Discussing the plan for the Tokyo International Film Festival, but there are many different opinions..."
Hearing this, Akina sighed with emotion:
"But for the first two sessions, wasn't it very fast? And it was held so well..."
"There are more people, and the team is hard to lead..."
Like the first two sessions, everything was led by the Tree Friend trio, and the preparation process was very smooth and fast. But now, representatives from all sides have mixed into the Executive Committee, and everyone wants to get a share of the credit in this project...
It's like starting a business; startups are generally efficient, but once the company gets big, it will definitely become rigid and dull!
"By the way~" Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of the beginning of the meeting, "Does Akina remember Masahiko Kondo?"
"Hmm?"
Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama in confusion. She naturally recognized Masahiko Kondo; after all, when she first debuted, Kondo was still a male idol in his prime.
However, very early on, because of Naoki Nagayama, she had a bad impression of this peer, and later she didn't pay much attention to him.
"Didn't he retire?"
"Haha..."
Naoki Nagayama shook his head. Although this guy's popularity was dim, he was still struggling in the entertainment industry.
"Not at all... This time he even wanted to perform at the Tokyo Film Festival, but we rejected it~"
"His character is too bad... ruining the image..."
Akina listened to her husband's words, and there was no ripple in her heart; it just felt like hearing about some passerby.
She only vaguely remembered that Kondo seemed to be Mary Kitagawa's favorite, and was also unclear with many older women... Oh, right, he had also snatched Naoki-san's advertisement before...
"I see, then that must be self-inflicted..."
After casually mentioning the previous resolution, Naoki Nagayama shook his head and stopped talking about work troubles, teasing little Xia Hua while asking Akina,
"What about Akina, what did you do today?"
"Today I confirmed the schedule with everyone at the agency..." Akina leaned on Naoki Nagayama's shoulder and fantasized, "The accommodation in Yokohama has already been arranged... and the promotional posters and costumes for the stage have also been confirmed."
This time, she needs to coordinate with Michael Jackson's rock style, so she chose a rebellious and hot black spicy girl outfit.
Speaking of this, Akina sighed:
"But when I went to try on the clothes, I actually found that the clothes made before were a bit tight... Sigh... How did I get fat again!"
When she first debuted, she was called "Fatty Akina," and Akina was very concerned about her weight and figure.
Naoki Nagayama turned his head to look at his wife. Her delicate cheeks seemed to be a bit rounder, but this was very subtle and shouldn't be noticeable...
So he reached out and rubbed Akina's waist for a while, feeling it soft, smooth, and slender:
"I can't feel it..."
"..."
Akina rolled her eyes, but her face was slightly flushed. Are you checking if I'm fat? You are clearly coveting my body, you... hooligan! Pervert!
The young couple laughed and played on the sofa, making little Xia Hua join in and laugh non-stop...
However, Naoki Nagayama was more experienced after all, and thought of another possibility:
"Akina, we haven't used a small umbrella during this time, is it..."
Akina also associated it, but after all, she hadn't tested it, and there were no pregnancy test sticks in the house...
"Hmm... It's not time yet this month, but I'll know in a couple of days~"
Then she looked at little Xia Hua lying on Daddy's stomach:
"Hua-chan, maybe you'll have a little brother soon~"
"Maybe it's a little sister..."
"It must be a little brother..."
Akina looked up, her eyes seemingly filled with moisture,
"Naoki-san, no matter what, let's increase the probability first!"
Saying that, she pulled Naoki Nagayama's arm and walked upstairs:
"Naoki-san, go draw the bath first. I'll coax Hua-chan to sleep, and then I'll go help you scrub your back and massage your shoulders!"
"..."
Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama's footsteps unconsciously began to walk toward the bathroom upstairs... What else could he do? He had been busy all day, and his back was indeed aching...
Sure enough, she holds a man firmly in her hand~
The temperature in September is dropping day by day. Nowadays, you can wear long sleeves or a thin jacket in the morning and evening.
In the parks of Tokyo, you can also see some early maple leaves starting to change color slowly. Compared to a while later, you will be able to see the beautiful scenery of autumn leaves redder than flowers in February.
In the morning, Naoki Nagayama stood on the eaves corridor, breathing fresh air, and looked at a red maple planted in the courtyard, sighing:
"In a while, Hongyu Yuan will be at its best time of the year again~"
"Naoki-san, are you preparing to go for autumn leaf hunting?!"
Hearing that they were going out to play, Akina was always very sensitive. She walked to Naoki Nagayama's side with small steps, her white and red face full of expectation:
"It's been a long time since we went to Hongyu Yuan!"
"..."
Naoki Nagayama wanted to go too, but in October and November, it might be exactly when they are busy.
After the Tokyo International Film Festival ends, *Jurassic Park* should start filming by then... Maybe he will have to be busy until the end of the year...
However, as the director, producer, and screenwriter, he is the biggest in the crew, so he can still squeeze out time!
And Kyoto is much closer to Jurassic Island than Tokyo, which is convenient for visiting family in the middle.
"As long as Akina has nothing to do, then we will go there and live for a while..."
"I definitely have nothing to do!"
Akina's biggest schedule this year should be the performance in Yokohama. After that, she might participate in the Red and White Song Battle and the Record Awards at the end of the year, but those are all things in December!
"Then take Hua-chan to Hongyu Yuan to see the fallen leaves!"
"Alright~"
The two of them set the arrangement for a month or two later like this, and then had breakfast happily~
Tree Friend Capital has to prepare for such a major trading operation, it's impossible to complete it in one conversation, so Naoki Nagayama still needs to go there again today.
After arriving at the office building in Ginza this time, Naoki Nagayama found that all four traders had bloodshot eyes, they must have stayed up all night last night... even Genta Nakai had big dark circles under his eyes~
"..."
Gathering in Naoki Nagayama's office, he looked around at them and laughed,
"Haha... I say, everyone, can't you sleep already?"
"Then when it's time to actually operate, what will you do? Do you rely on coffee to stay awake all the time?!"
Everyone looked at Naoki Nagayama, who was full of energy and could even be said to be radiant, and they were all very moved... That's more than a billion USD in principal, a capital pool of more than 10 billion...
This should also be all the money Naoki Nagayama has, right? Naoki Nagayama can actually sleep? And sleep so soundly?!
Could it be that sleeping with a star beauty improves sleep quality?!
No wonder those rich people like to chase stars... Two of them even thought that they would try it in the future. Big stars might be out of reach, but third or fourth-tier idols might be okay!
"Ahem... Naoki-san~"
Genta Nakai broke the silence,
"I touched base with everyone this morning, and Michi Sakaguchi and the others have already arranged their families and can leave for abroad at any time."
"I came here today to set the rules for daily contact and reporting in the future, and there are also some operational matters..."
This is a matter of course; such a large trading operation cannot be fought alone.
"Oh, by the way..."
Genta Nakai seemed to have just remembered something to say,
"Naoki-san, with the key members gone, and after I go to New York, the remaining employees of Tree Friend Capital will have no backbone..."
"So during this period, you also have to come to the company to sit in!"
Tree Friend Capital today, of course, is not just these four traders. Instead, each key member has an investment team under them, each team has four or five people!
Plus finance, risk control, administration, legal, etc., the entire Tree Friend Capital already has nearly a hundred people!
"I..."
Naoki Nagayama subconsciously wanted to speak, but Genta Nakai interrupted him,
"Naoki-san, the company account still has nearly 600 million in funds, and those are all funds from big shots in various circles in Japan! Even if we don't make money for them, we must ensure we don't lose money!"
In this stock market crash, Naoki Nagayama used his own money, plus borrowed from the bank...
It's not that he doesn't want to make money for local Japanese clients, but because the owners of these accounts hold their money very tightly. The truly meticulous guys want to see reports every day, and even question the traders on some operations. In short, making money is fine, but losing money is absolutely not allowed!
Making them believe there is a stock market crash and wiring money out of Japan is itself a difficult and risky thing.
So, at most, the operations during that period should be conservative, just to ensure they don't lose money in the stock market crash... In a situation where everyone is losing, not losing is earning~
"So, Naoki-san needs to come over from time to time, so that others, and people in the company, know that Tree Friend Capital is not in trouble..."
During this period, besides accompanying Akina to a concert, he has free time. Black Monday is in the second half of October, at most it's just sitting in the office for a month.
Hearing Genta Nakai's words, Naoki Nagayama could only nod:
"Alright, I will come over every two days in September, and I will come over every day starting in October..."
Although Genta Nakai had some opinions about coming over every two days, he agreed after thinking that Naoki Nagayama wouldn't come over once or twice a week in the past.
"Then in that case, Tree Friend Capital will rely on Naoki-san!"
"Haha, then abroad, it will rely on everyone!"
"Hai!" X4
Since exposing the Recruit bribery of 13 members of the Diet at the parliamentary hearing last time, Yanosuke Narazaki has become the main force in promoting the Recruit investigation case.
The opposition party, the media, and even the public all support his investigation.
But what is surprising is that the Tokyo police have not taken any action... Even under the immense pressure of public opinion, the police still used the excuse of "no solid evidence" to prevaricate and acted like a turtle hiding its head.
Perhaps it is because many powerful politicians, members of the Diet, and officials are all blocking a formal investigation!
"Father..."
Yanosuke Narazaki's son said to him,
"Hiroshi Matsubara, the office director of Recruit, called again, saying he hopes to visit tonight..."
"Coming again?"
Yanosuke Narazaki was not surprised. Hiroshi Matsubara had come many times, all to persuade him to say good things, a bunch of nonsense about how everyone is good.
He even implicitly suggested that if Yanosuke Narazaki gave up the investigation, Recruit would provide rewards.
If it weren't for extracting information, Yanosuke Narazaki would never see this guy!
But as the police delayed taking action, he couldn't get detailed information, and there was no breakthrough, which itself made Yanosuke Narazaki very irritable:
"Alright! No solid evidence, right? This time let's do something big!"
"Son, go contact someone from TV Asahi..."
Yanosuke Narazaki looked around his own Japanese-style room,
"Isn't there that kind of hidden camera? Let them come to my house to set it up... I want to stimulate Hiroshi Matsubara's nerves, make him say clearly what he wants to do, and then record Hiroshi Matsubara's behavior this time!"
"Then, broadcast it on TV!"
"This..."
Yanosuke Narazaki's son was full of surprise,
"Father, if you do this, no one will come to the house in the future!"
Even for the sake of justice, such secret filming behavior will cause concerns. In the future, others will definitely have reservations about Yanosuke Narazaki.
Even his future prospects will definitely be out of the question... No political party faction will elect someone who installs cameras in their home!
The best result might be being transferred to a legal department or an anti-corruption department after this bribery case ends...
Yanosuke Narazaki is using his reputation, personality, and future to expose this bribery case!
"This is the price!"
Yanosuke Narazaki is an honest and stubborn person,
"Such a big corruption case, if I can expose this case, then I am willing to pay the price for it!"
"..."
Yanosuke Narazaki's son was silent for a while and nodded,
"Hai, I'll go contact the TV station people now..." ===== CHAPTER 1258 =====
