Chapter 1378: The Nagayama family's cherry blossom viewing party? Is it a secret society?!

When it comes to coaxing girls, Naoki Nagayama still knew a thing or two.

Hugging her and kissing her a few times, and then offering the gift he specifically bought back, not long after returning home, he coaxed the little one who was throwing a tantrum~

Now she was sitting in Naoki Nagayama's arms, happily playing with the Winnie the Pooh he brought back from the United States!

And Naoki Nagayama also gave the other gifts he brought back to Akina and the two mothers:

"This is the latest facial massager, they say it can massage facial muscles and smooth out wrinkles... and there's also facial masks..."

Although many people say that things like facial masks are cheating money and have no use at all... but so many female stars who care about their appearance are using them, spending a lot of money every year, which shows that they must have an effect.

"As for cosmetics, Akina can't use them for the time being... so I bought some jewelry..."

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina, who was enthusiastically examining the little golden man, with some helplessness.

"Akina... that's not real gold..."

"That's not important!"

Akina smiled and touched the little golden man with her hand, and even leaned her delicate cheek against it, feeling the cold touch.

"It's enough that everyone knows this is the little golden man!"

"By the way, where should we put it?"

As she spoke, she stood up excitedly and walked to the display cabinet, gesturing for a position.

"It must be in the center! The most conspicuous position!"

Swaying left and right in front of the display cabinet, she even wanted to stand on tiptoe to put the little golden man on the top layer to try... she didn't look like a pregnant woman at 8 months at all!

"..."

"Be careful!"

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly put down the little one in his arms and went to support Akina, who didn't look like a pregnant woman at all.

"Just put it in the middle..."

"Oh... the display cabinet is full..."

Akina leaned against her husband, looking at the full display cabinet in front of her. There were many trophies inside. Besides movies, a large part was literature and music, and there were also awards Akina had won... it was almost full!

"Then let's buy a bigger one later!"

Naoki Nagayama said.

"Or put one in the living room on the east side and move some trophies there!"

"Good..."

Chieko Nakamori, who was still looking at the cosmetics, felt full of relief seeing the harmonious appearance of the young couple. Her own marriage wasn't perfect, but now this daughter was very happy.

And Nanako Nagayama on the other side took little Hana-chan into her arms, playing with the fluffy Winnie the Pooh with her, her face also full of smiles.

"By the way!"

Akina on the sofa suddenly called out in surprise.

"Because Naoki-san went abroad, this year's cherry blossom viewing party has been dragged on for so long and hasn't been held yet!"

"We still have to hold it while the cherry blossoms in the yard haven't fallen yet!"

"Just in time to celebrate Naoki-san winning the big award!"

Hearing Akina's words, Nanako Nagayama also nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, having won an international grand award, we should celebrate it properly... At that time, you can also ask your father and brother to come over, and our whole family can have a good time..."

Chieko Nakamori was naturally very active too. Such a joyous event was always invited to acquaintances according to previous habits...

"..."

Naoki Nagayama didn't have such a big feeling. After all, he had won too many awards, and he hadn't been so ostentatious when he won the Palme d'Or before...

However, looking at it now, the women in the family all thought it was necessary, so he wouldn't object. Anyway, the preparation work could be asked to be done by others, and it wouldn't be too tiring.

It was indeed time for the circle surrounding Naoki Nagayama to gather again, especially since Genta Nakai, who had been away from home for a long time, had returned, and his previous short-selling operation could finally be considered to have come to an end.

And now it was already '88... the bubble was coming!

"Alright!"

Naoki Nagayama, as the head of the family, nodded.

"Then in three days, let's prepare to hold the cherry blossom viewing party!"

"?" Akina was a bit surprised. "Why wait three days?"

"Uh... Gentai-san, Shuichi-san, and the others have been away from home for so long, naturally we have to gather properly!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"Three days later is when Gentai-san and the others will be disgusted!"

"..."

Akina punched Naoki Nagayama. There were so many people around, he didn't even know how to be shy!

The sky gradually darkened. In the Nakai residence, Genta Nakai, who had already returned home, was looking at his son Shota with a headache.

"Click click click..."

Nakai Shota was playing with the Transformer he brought back, sweating profusely...

Because it was a plane, it had to fly everywhere after transforming, so Shota had been running around the house for an entire afternoon!

A father is always very patient with his daughter, because they haven't seen each other for a long time, and after buying gifts for his daughter, girls really will stick to their father and chat and act spoiled...

However, if it's a boy, the first hour after returning home is indeed very close, calling Daddy Daddy non-stop, but once the initial closeness is gone, the boy's attention is completely attracted by the toy...

What is a father? Can he transform like a Transformer?!

"PiuPiuPiu... click click click..."

Watching his son take out all the toys from his small box and then "knock them down" one by one with the Transformer, Genta Nakai actually had the urge to play together...

Then he felt ashamed of his thoughts... he was such a big person...

Seeing that it was evening, Reimi walked out of the room:

"Shota... it's getting late, wash your face, brush your teeth, and get ready to go to bed!"

"?? But it's only 8 o'clock now!"

Shota didn't understand. He usually slept at 9 o'clock at the earliest!

"Daddy just came back from abroad and has been on the plane for so long, he's already very tired... so go to bed early!"

"..."

"Oh~"

The little one was still very reasonable and started to tidy up the toys...

However, seeing his slow appearance, Nakai Reimi said directly:

"If you like playing, just leave them here! Tidy them up tomorrow after you finish playing! Go wash your face first!"

Hearing this, Shota was overjoyed:

"Good~~"

After the son ran away, Reimi looked at her husband and pointed to the bedroom:

"Go take a bath!"

"..."

Genta Nakai suddenly felt a bit cold.

"Reimi... I have some things I want to tell you... come over and talk to me!"

"Talk after you lie in bed after taking a bath!"

Reimi's eyes were sharp.

"Now... go... take a bath!!"

"..."

Genta Nakai, under his wife's strong gaze, could only nod.

"Good~"

At the same time, in the Itō residence.

Jia Yi Itō, who was already in her teens, had to go to class! And after-school tutoring...

After returning home, she was very happy to see her father who had been away for more than half a month. After receiving the gift, she was even happier, thanking Shuichi Itō for a long time.

However, after finishing dinner in the evening, she returned to her small room...

So the huge house suddenly became quiet...

"Dear..."

Jiawei Itō came to Shuichi Itō's side after tidying up the room.

"You've been on the plane for so long, you must be very tired?!"

"Actually, it's okay... because it was Naoki-san's private plane, the space was very large... and there were entertainment facilities..."

Shuichi Itō said a few words, but suddenly felt the atmosphere was wrong... and then met his wife's dissatisfied gaze... he immediately changed his tune.

"However... no matter what, it was ten-plus hours, it's indeed a bit tiring!"

"Hmm, then wash up early and rest!"

Jiawei Itō nodded.

"I still have some things to tidy up, you go take a bath first..."

"Ah... good!"

Shuichi Itō, who came to the bedroom, hurriedly took out the tablet medicine from his pocket... carefully looking at the precautions...

"Fortunately, I went to buy them... the onset time is... uh... fifteen minutes?"

"Looks like I have to massage for a while first..."

"..."

Even across an ocean, what happened in the United States had long been spread to Japan.

Those in the entertainment industry who were well-informed even got the news that the freshly baked Oscar winner Naoki Nagayama had already quietly returned to Tokyo!

"This Naoki Nagayama!!"

The "station brothers and sisters" who specifically guarded the airport subway station complained one after another.

"Why buy a private plane!! It's expensive and expensive... in short, it's very impractical!"

It wasn't that they didn't want to say other shortcomings, but after thinking carefully, private planes really had no advantages other than being expensive...

"And what's even more hateful is that he actually brought Tomokazu Miura and Momoe Yamaguchi along, making it impossible for us to know his whereabouts in advance and take pictures of them!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"This guy Naoki Nagayama, not a human son!"

"Indeed, don't think that just because you won an Oscar, you're amazing..."

"..."

The words spoken from these jealous mouths naturally couldn't be believed, but the fact that Naoki Nagayama won the Oscar for Best Picture had indeed made people in the Japanese entertainment industry collectively excited.

For the past two days, the newspapers had been printing Naoki Nagayama's award-winning scenes, red carpet scenes, and interview scenes in rotation, as if they were setting Naoki Nagayama up as a role model!

"When can Naoki Nagayama come out and say a few words!"

"Isn't he already back?!"

"..."

At this time in the entertainment industry, there were countless people looking for Naoki Nagayama. Besides those who had friendships with Tree Friend's Fumio Otomo, some even went directly to Fuji TV...

"Aren't you very familiar with Tree Friend?! Why don't you do an exclusive interview?"

In the club gathering in the evening, Fuji TV President Masayoshi Miyauchi, who was questioned by the Minister of Culture, was full of helplessness.

"We can't contact Naoki Nagayama either!"

"You also know Naoki-san, he never participates in any gatherings... very low-key..."

"Eh? I heard that the senior management of Tree Friend Group has two gatherings every year, inviting many friends to gather together..."

The newly appointed Minister of Culture, Yasuya Narita, asked suspiciously.

"It's called some cherry blossom viewing party, it's just to see a cherry blossom tree in the Mountain Cherry Courtyard... making it look like some secret society..."

"Didn't you invite President Miyauchi?"

Naoki Nagayama's "cherry blossom viewing party" was never a secret in the eyes of some interested people.

When gathering, Naoki Nagayama and his friends didn't intend to keep it secret, and there weren't few people, so it naturally spread~

And such a theme of "cherry blossom viewing," in the eyes of some big shots, was just an excuse, clearly a gathering used to distribute interests!

Some even associated it with the gatherings of the yakuza, the kind where the little brothers of the society have to "pay" and "offer tribute" to the main family.

Masayoshi Miyauchi shook his head, his heart feeling a bit bitter; he had never been invited:

"Hahaha, it should be a private gathering, only relatives and friends and people from Tree Friend Group, people related to interests will be invited..."

"Oh oh, so that's it..."

Minister of Culture Yasuya Narita had a look of sudden realization on his face, but he had actually inquired about it; there were even idols like Kyoko Koizumi who had participated in the gathering...

It was clearly a gathering invited according to the degree of closeness!!

This also showed that Fuji TV's Masayoshi Miyauchi was outside the core circle of Tree Friend!

"But it seems there is a TV series produced by Tree Friend that is about to be screened on Fuji TV, right?"

"Narita-san is indeed well-informed..."

Masayoshi Miyauchi was a bit surprised.

"Did you even pay attention to such a small matter?"

"This is not a small matter..."

Yasuya Narita shook his head, revealing the news from the Cabinet recently in a low voice.

"And, after Prime Minister Doi took office this time... the primary policy... the main direction is the cultural industry."

"So our Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been paying close attention to various news in the cultural direction recently!"

"Oh? Cultural industry?!"

"Yes, it's the 'Cultural Nation-Building' strategy... it's a strategy!"

As the Minister of Culture, Yasuya Narita was responsible for the communication between the entertainment industry and the Cabinet, so it was no problem to reveal some policy directions now.

"It has already been discussed in the Cabinet Advisory Group, it's a draft proposed by Tree Friend's Shuichi Itō... Doi-san is very optimistic about it, and other advisors are also very supportive!"

"So I am paying close attention to every piece of news about Tree Friend now!"

Hearing this, Masayoshi Miyauchi was even more shocked!

"Shuichi Itō?!"

"Yeah... Doi-san trusts him very much... I heard that when the visiting delegation returned from the United States, he was left in the United States to understand the relevant policies of the American cultural industry..."

"Oh?!!!"

Listening to Yasuya Narita's narration, Masayoshi Miyauchi became more and more astonished!

Originally, he thought that Tree Friend Group was only supported by a genius like Naoki Nagayama, and if he left, it would just be an ordinary enterprise.

Fumio Otomo, the executive CEO, although he had some skills, could only be considered capable and not outstanding among Japanese enterprises...

But he didn't expect that the originally mediocre Shuichi Itō, who was at most the president of the Film Association and had some fame and prestige in the entertainment industry by seeking benefits for members, could now actually directly influence the Cabinet's policies?!

Since when had the tentacles of Tree Friend Group reached the political arena, and even the upper levels of the country?!

"Didn't expect it..."

Masayoshi Miyauchi drank the sake in his cup.

"Cultural Nation-Building... looks like we have to get on better terms with Tree Friend!"

As the president of a TV station, he immediately associated how many aspects of Japan would be involved if such a strategy were implemented.

And Tree Friend Group, which first proposed it and was even vaguely the leader, would occupy how much advantage in this.

"Maybe in a few years, Tree Friend Group will become the leader in Japan's cultural field!"

In Japan's society where classes are solidified, as long as you become the leader in a certain field, you will always be the boss in this field~

"Let's contact them first... see if we can get an exclusive interview first!"

Masayoshi Miyauchi calculated in his mind.
