Chapter 1320: Tree Friend is indeed too powerful!!

~14 min read 2,711 words

After Otomo Yoshimura got off the plane, he looked up and saw the lively scene at the port in the distance.

On the ship over there, a steady stream of people were getting off, and there were many people here at the port picking up the ship, noisy as if it were some large port~

"How can it be so lively?"

After getting into the shuttle off-road vehicle, Otomo Yoshimura asked Masataka Komori unexpectedly,

"It seems... it's not our Tree Friend employees, right?"

Today is the day of the Tree Friend annual meeting. Employees from Tokyo and all branches have come to Jurassic Island to watch the performances prepared in advance and attend the banquet...

However, the total number of employees in the Tree Friend Group is only over 700. Even counting the invited family members, it is at most over a thousand.

But judging from the liveliness of the port town, it is estimated that there will be several thousand people on the island~

"No..."

Masataka Komori explained,

"Those should be the family members of the construction team on the island..."

"Because this time a fireworks display and carnival activities were also held in the port town, the construction team asked Naoki-san if they could participate... Then Naoki-san very generously let everyone have fun together, so everyone invited their families to gather..."

Although the movie is being filmed, the third-phase construction work of Jurassic Island has never stopped, and the island has always maintained a construction team of hundreds of people.

It must be very lonely and boring on a semi-enclosed island. This time, I invited my family to reunite, dragging their families along, so it feels like there are more people.

"This... there must be more than 5,000 people on the whole island..."

Otomo Yoshimura muttered silently,

"It's simply more lively than the Kanda Festival in Tokyo..."

Fortunately, the investment in the carnival and fireworks display doesn't need to be increased, otherwise Otomo Yoshimura would be heartbroken about the cost now!

After arriving at the resort hotel, I found that Shuichi Itang had arrived early and brought his family over. Jiawei Itang was chatting with Akina, and Jia-chan is playing with little Xia Hua now~

"Shuichi-san, when did you arrive?"

Otomo Yoshimura asked curiously, because Shuichi Itang has not been in the company during this time, but has been helping Takako Doi of the Social Democratic Party campaign...

"Arrived at noon." Shuichi Itang drank the red wine in his hand and said with a smile, "Just happened to finish the campaign rally in Osaka, so I could spare some time... Jiawei-chan and the others arrived earlier than me."

"So that's it."

Otomo Yoshimura nodded. He didn't bring his son Keishin Yoshimura today because that guy went abroad to travel... His wife didn't want to move either, so he was the only one attending.

"How is the campaign going?"

"Very good!" Shuichi Itang showed a smile, "Due to the decline in the credibility of the Liberal Democratic Party, the candidates they pushed out are not very well supported... so this time it is very likely that Doi-san will become the first female Prime Minister of Neon..."

The first female Prime Minister, Neon can indeed only be possible in this era of prevailing female feminism, when the status of Neon women is at its highest... Or it is in another extreme situation, when it is necessary to take the blame, will women become the national leader...

The two chatted like this for a while, and found that Naoki Nagayama walked down from upstairs.

"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san...."

Naoki Nagayama greeted the two with a smile,

"The venue has been arranged... we can go over!"

"Is it already done?"

Otomo Yoshimura nodded,

"That's fine... but Naoki-san, are you really not going to give a speech?!"

"I already said... on such a good day, don't do such boring things!"

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly waved his hand. You know, he has always disliked this kind of public speaking. Maybe some superiors like the feeling of talking eloquently in front of everyone, but he just feels a bit awkward.

The opening meeting at the beginning of every year has to be spoken, integrating the company's goals, and other times forget it!

"Sigh...."

Otomo Yoshimura was a bit sorry. If there weren't so many outsiders this time, he would have gone on stage to speak!

Speaking of which, he still likes everyone's attention on him~

In such a relaxed atmosphere, Naoki Nagayama took little Xia Hua from Jia-chan's hand and went to the annual meeting venue with everyone in the hotel.

Due to the large number of people, this annual meeting performance activity was set in the central auditorium of the port town. After the performance, the chef team served dishes directly... After the performance at the venue, you can also go to the carnival in the town or a pavilion that has been built, and then to the fireworks display in the evening...

In short, the program is still very rich~

Naoki Nagayama and his party, as the core executives of Tree Friend, naturally sat at the round table in the first row. Nearby, you can also see the company's middle and senior management, as well as several of the most famous idol artists under Tree Friend.

Shizuka Kudo, Junko Sato, Chikako Aoyama... Speaking of which, counting Nakamori Akina beside him, this venue almost gathered more than half of the popular idols in the idol world!

Plus the invited artists, the star power of this annual meeting is simply comparable to some large evening parties in the entertainment industry~

"Naoki-san....", "Otomo-san!", "Shuichi-san, haven't seen you for a long time...", "Akina-chan, hello~", "......"

The arrival of Naoki Nagayama and others naturally attracted attention, and almost everyone was greeting them eagerly.

And after Akina sat down holding little Xia Hua, she instantly attracted the attention of many actresses!

"This is Hua-chan~"

Chikako Aoyama is more familiar with Naoki Nagayama's family. Seeing little Xia Hua wearing a cute doll coat, she leaned over,

"So cute... look at these eyebrows and eyes, inherited from Naoki-san! The bridge of the nose is clearly Akina-chan's!"

"Yes, yes... she will definitely be very beautiful when she grows up!"

"......"

Hearing others praise her daughter, Akina was naturally very happy, but she still said:

"Don't praise anymore, look at Hua-chan, she's embarrassed by the praise~"

Little Xia Hua can already understand many words. Under everyone's chaotic praise, a big smile appeared on her face. Then seeing that they were all very beautiful big sisters, she actually stretched out her hands and wanted a hug...

So naturally, it aroused everyone's love, and everyone took turns holding the little one~

However, after a round, little Xia Hua actually refused to come down in Izumi Sakai's arms.

"Eh?"

She lifted little Xia Hua with both hands, and the little one didn't see her as an outsider, hugging Izumi Sakai's neck, looking very intimate... Izumi Sakai, who was stuck by the child, was a bit shy, but looked even happier.

"Hua-chan seems not to want to let go..."

"Oh my... looks like Hua-chan likes Izumi-chan!"

Akina teased with a smile,

"Haven't seen her so close to strangers~"

Others around the table also laughed, teasing Izumi Sakai one after another, saying things like she has a good relationship with children.

Naoki Nagayama also looked over during the gap of talking to others and said with a smile:

"It is said that children are very sensitive and can perceive other people's personalities... It must be that Izumi-chan's inner gentleness was discovered!"

Who would have thought that as soon as this was said, Naoki Nagayama immediately received a collective blow from a circle of actresses~

Chikako Aoyama pretended to be angry:

"What does Naoki-san mean, am I not a gentle person?!"

"Yes, yes... are we not gentle?" "How can Naoki-san say that!" "Isn't this bullying people?!"

"....."

One woman is five hundred ducks, there are... 6 here... and each one is a young and beautiful girl, suddenly chattering and making a fuss~

Akina was persuading "Oh my, oh my, Naoki-san didn't mean that..." on the side, but her expression was like watching a show, her eyes were cunning and hidden, like a little fox!

Seeing that he had poked a duck nest, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly raised his hands to surrender:

"Alright, alright... everyone is a gentle person... I am the one who is not gentle!"

"I shouldn't have joined the women's chat group!"

Saying that, he turned around and continued to look for friends to chat... And the actresses only started to chat again after seeing Naoki Nagayama give up~

The camera turned to Naoki Nagayama's side. As soon as he came back, Shuichi Itang said with a smile:

"Hahaha, rare! Naoki-san was talked about by the women~"

"......"

Naoki Nagayama was a bit speechless,

"I just said Izumi Sakai has a gentle personality~"

Shuichi Itang laughed:

"Haha, praising only one among a group of girls, isn't that hitting others! No wonder you will be collectively complained about...."

Otomo Yoshimura added fuel to the fire on the side:

"Yes... looks like after marriage, Naoki-san's charm has declined! Ah no, it should be that the reaction speed has declined~"

Looking at these two bad friends, Naoki Nagayama couldn't think of how to refute for a while... At the same time, he was reflecting in his heart, is it because he hasn't used it for a long time, and his emotional intelligence towards women has declined?!

And just at this time, the time for the annual meeting had arrived, and the venue was full... so the invited host went on stage:

"Welcome everyone to the Tree Friend Group annual meeting site..."

"Generally speaking, the chairmen of other societies will give speeches at the annual meeting, but Tree Friend is different... Chairman Naoki Nagayama told me that when everyone is happy, don't do boring things..."

"So... we are about to officially start the annual meeting program! Let us thank Chairman Naoki Nagayama!!!"

The host is also good at creating atmosphere. As soon as this was said, thunderous applause sounded in the venue.

Sitting at the bottom, whether it was Tree Friend's staff or family members who came along, all applauded sincerely for such a superior... No one wants to listen to that kind of smelly and long speech!

This world has suffered from leadership speeches for a long time!!

"First!"

After more than ten seconds, the host picked up the microphone,

"Let us listen to the most hardcore rock in history and experience the most explosive opening performance!"

"Let us welcome....... X-Japan band!"

The lights on the stage dimmed, and then as the curtain opened, a non-mainstream band appeared directly under the spotlight.

Colorful hair, studded leather jackets, extreme smoky makeup, exaggerated guitars and drums... Such a unique appearance made people understand the essence of this rock band instantly, a visual kei heavy metal rock band!!

The moment he saw lead singer Yoshiki Hayashi, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly turned his head and said to Izumi Sakai, who was still holding little Xia Hua:

"Izumi-chan, cover Hua-chan's ears!!"

"?!"

Izumi Sakai didn't understand at first, but when X-Japan played the first note, she immediately covered the little one's ears with both hands!

The strong rhythm shocked the whole audience instantly. How can a performance be heavy metal from the start! You know, heavy metal and noise are only a thin line apart~

However, X-Japan is still a rock band with good levels. In this era when rock music is very popular, it quickly stirred up the emotions of the scene, making the atmosphere of the venue hot......

Several energetic young men, although a bit unruly and indulgent, really made people feel their love for rock!

Many young people sitting at the bottom were actually attracted......

Just at the table in the first row, the most popular rebellious idol Shizuka Kudo was looking at the lead singer on the stage with long hair, indistinguishable between male and female—Yoshiki Hayashi!

Speaking of which, this person seems to have had a relationship with Shizuka Kudo in history, but now Shizuka Kudo has become a top idol several years in advance under the support of Tree Friend. The two should have had no intersection, but they met at this annual meeting.

The hardcore rock on the stage ended after a strong drum beat. The contrast from extreme noise to extreme silence made the scene quiet for a few seconds, and then they applauded one after another.

And Naoki Nagayama saw lead singer Yoshiki Hayashi grab the restless team member Taiji Sawada, letting him bow and return the salute with him...... He just remembered that X-Japan's habit is to perform violent behaviors such as spraying fire or smashing guitars after the performance!

Fortunately this time, they knew the severity.....

If they went wild at Tree Friend's annual meeting, the entire entertainment industry would probably not be able to accommodate this band in the future!

"Wow~~ What an explosive rock!"

The host returned to the stage wiping sweat. He was also worried that the lead singer couldn't control the members, because a guitar was smashed during the rehearsal.... Fortunately, not this time!

"Is everyone excited now?!"

"Then next, please welcome our thrilling acrobatic performance!"

"......"

With the relaxed music, the specially invited acrobatic performance started to go on stage.....

Naoki Nagayama turned his head to look at his daughter, and found that the little one was not covering her ears at this time, but was sitting on Akina's lap eating fruit, and her eyes were still looking at the performance on the stage~

"Hua-chan wasn't scared just now, right?"

"No~" Akina shook her head, "Izumi-chan covered her ears!"

"That's good..... this kind of rock is really not suitable for children!"

"Haha, I think it's very novel~"

"......"

Naoki Nagayama felt that his music aesthetics were out of touch with the Showa era~

Regarding the performance just now, he felt it was not as good as the thrilling acrobatic performance on the field now!

"Tree Friend Group's annual meeting has started again!"

"Last time it was on a cruise ship, where did it go this time?"

"I heard it's on the island where Naoki Nagayama is filming a movie..... Jurassic Island!"

"And invited many famous idols and stars to perform!"

"It's really luxurious...."

"It should be that Tree Friend is too powerful!"

"......"

Similar discussions kept ringing in Tokyo, and many people were concerned about the holding of the Tree Friend annual meeting, and well-informed people were excitedly talking about specific activities such as carnivals and fireworks displays.

You know, in the eyes of the outside world, whether an annual meeting is luxurious or not, and whether the scene is magnificent or not, is the face of a company.

Just like a hard-working worker who has worked outside for a year, when returning home for the New Year, he always has to wear his best clothes, prepare the most abundant New Year goods, and show a decent appearance in front of the fellow villagers!

And for a company, such a show is actually not satisfying the boss's selfishness, but has practical functions!

From a small point of view, it can make company employees happy, which helps employee unity~

From a large point of view, in the treacherous shopping mall, how to show that your company is powerful and thriving in front of opponents and friends?

Can it even improve the outside world's evaluation of the company, and even increase the valuation?

You can't just show them the financial statements directly..... So you can use this way of spending money to express.....

So some companies even invite the media to report on the annual meeting!

This Tree Friend annual meeting was also held in the eyes of peers and the outside world, letting everyone see Tree Friend's strength...... Hundreds or thousands of people collectively participating in the annual meeting is itself a demonstration-like behavior.

"Sure enough, Tree Friend Group has grown into a behemoth!"

"Need to avoid it in the future!"

"......"

Such thoughts appeared in some people's minds involuntarily, and even took root in the subconscious of Neon people..... just like large financial groups such as Mitsubishi, Fuji, Mitsui, and Sumitomo.... ===== CHAPTER 1321 =====
