Chapter 140: Is it to borrow money?

~7 min read 1,374 words

At noon, Naoki Nagayama stir-fried two dishes, and then soaked a small bowl of high-end dog food for the little guy.

"Ying Taro, you eat better than I do~"

This time, watching the puppy eat more actively than before, it was indeed still in the weaning period, and dog food with milk powder was more to its liking.

In the afternoon, the sky outside became more and more overcast. The weather in Tokyo this year seems to be colder, and it has snowed several times since the beginning of the year.

Naoki Nagayama sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV, stroking the little guy on the sofa with one hand. The warm air from the air conditioner blew, and after eating, he couldn't help but feel a bit sleepy. The puppy had already swayed and was about to fall asleep.

Naoki Nagayama didn't resist the sleepiness, pulled the blanket on the sofa, closed his eyes, and didn't even turn off the TV.

Naoki Nagayama was awakened by a burst of sirens.

Opening his eyes, the TV was reporting a sudden case.

A group of robbery suspects dressed as motorcycle gangs robbed a convenience store at a gas station in Shinjuku and planned to escape, but they were blocked in the store by the police. Then, with a hot head, they grabbed the clerk and several customers to confront the police.

With the sound of sirens, more and more police cars gathered, and even reporters rushed over, actually starting a live broadcast.

The motorcycle gang naturally couldn't withstand such pressure, and finally went out to surrender honestly, and then were taken away by the police...

What kind of idiot robbers are these?

Naoki Nagayama was speechless. The dog-blood thing that disturbed my dream was just this?

Seeing that the puppy next to him was also awake, Naoki Nagayama was happy:

"Ying Taro, you also think the robbers are stupid, right~"

"Woof!"

"Hahaha, good boy!"

"Woof!"

However, seeing that the hair on Ying Taro's body seemed a bit dirty and messy,

Yes, it stayed in the park all day yesterday, and it was only wiped simply at night. It's normal that it's not clean.

"Ying Taro, I'll give you a bath today!"

After saying that, he picked up the little guy and went to the bathroom.

Seeing the equipment in the bathroom, the little guy seemed to know what to do and immediately struggled with ying ying ying.

"Ha, you know you're going to take a bath~" Naoki Nagayama caught its neck with one hand and turned on the hot water with the other. "Taking a bath is very comfortable, why are you running~"

Giving a puppy a bath is still very convenient. Support the head, wet the parts below the neck with warm water, then apply soap and rub it for a while, and then rinse it clean with warm water.

As for the head, just wipe it with a hot towel for the time being.

After wiping dry with a dry towel and blowing dry with a hair dryer~ the clean off-white Labrador was brand new.

Finally not ying ying ying after the bath, Naoki Nagayama returned to the living room and turned on the TV.

He put the little guy on the carpet in the living room, played with it with the little yellow duck, and continued to watch the program.

Just then, the phone rang~

"Hello, this is Sanyingyuan." Naoki Nagayama threw the little yellow duck to Ying Taro and answered the phone.

"Naoki-san, this is Shuichi Ido~" The opposite side said a bit awkwardly. "I haven't seen you for two days, I miss you very much~"

"Shuichi-san... is there anything?" Hearing the phone call, there must be a reason. Otherwise, Shuichi Ido wouldn't speak so strangely, as if he had something difficult to say.

"Ano, actually there is nothing special, just want to ask..." It seems to be the first time to speak, and it is very difficult to speak.

Oh! People will encounter such difficulties! Naoki Nagayama seemed to understand something.

"Soka, is Shuichi-san going to borrow money?"

"Hmm??" The opposite side was a bit surprised.

"Daijobu daijobu, it is inevitable to encounter such difficulties as being tight on money. Shuichi-san, just say how much money you want to borrow!" Naoki Nagayama's tone was very gentle, trying not to cause mental damage to Shuichi Ido.

In Japan, borrowing money from people is a very rare thing, and it is very difficult for the borrower to open their mouth.

"Wait a minute, Naoki-san! When did I say I wanted to borrow money!!!"

Shuichi Ido was in a hurry.

"It's okay, Shuichi-san, it's just a temporary transition, don't be embarrassed~" Naoki Nagayama thought he was saving face. "But Shuichi-san, didn't you get 100 million before the New Year? Why are you out of money?"

"Wait! I have money! I don't want to borrow money!"

"Hai hai, then just treat it as an advance on dividends~ It's not borrowing money~" Naoki Nagayama interrupted him and kindly helped him find an excuse. This should be fine, right?

"Wait a minute, Naoki-san! Listen to me first!" Shuichi Ido took a deep breath. "I called not to borrow money. Let's clarify this point first!"

"Eh? Then why were you using such literary words as 'missing you very much' and such a hesitant tone just now..."

"I'm asking you about other things!"

"Eh? Then what is it that makes it so difficult to ask?" Naoki Nagayama was confused. Is it really not borrowing money?

"It's about the movie script, the movie script!" Shuichi Ido said.

Actually the movie script?

Go, it's only been 2 days?

Are you urging the manuscript now? Is it a bit too much?

"... Shuichi-san, it's only been 2 days, right... Urging the manuscript now, capitalists would call it professional!"

"Hahaha~" Shuichi Ido on the opposite side intended to use laughter to ease the embarrassment. "I think Naoki-san is a genius~ Maybe you have already written it~"

"... Not written yet..." Naoki Nagayama was speechless. Only a god could write it for you.

It seemed that he heard Shuichi Ido on the other side talking to someone else, saying that it was definitely not written, that he had to make this call, and that it was very embarrassing now.

After that, the other end of the phone was replaced by Otomo Yoshimura.

"Naoki-san~ Actually because... except for Junko Ito who is in training, others have been empty for almost a week... the feeling of having nothing to do is just a bit empty..."

Otomo Yoshimura explained. "So I came to ask about the progress of the script, how is it written?"

Haven't started writing yet!

Naoki Nagayama used to hear entrepreneurs say "When I open my eyes, the livelihood of hundreds or thousands of people is on my shoulders, and the pressure is great." He was always surprised at how they could have such thick skin...

Now that he has become a core figure, he finally feels a little pressure. After all, dozens of people are really waiting for him to start work.

"Written about one-third~" Naoki Nagayama wanted to prevaricate first. "It's a story with a small scene."

"Oh, what kind of small scene?"

Naoki Nagayama wished he could hit his own mouth. Why add another sentence?

Thinking rapidly in his brain, what kind of small scene, what scene?

Suddenly he saw the news broadcast on the TV—"Motorcycle gang robs convenience store!"

"It's in a convenience store!" Convenience stores are everywhere. It's normal to appear in the script, right

"Oh?" The person on the other end seemed to want to know more, guessing based on his previous film style, "Is it a horror movie?"

"No, it's a robbery plot!"

"An action movie? Omoshiroi!"

Afraid that the two would keep asking, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly said: "I'll tell you when I've polished it up. Just wait a couple of days for now~"

"Well, that's all we can do then. Ganbatte, Naoki-san!"

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama felt a headache coming on. What should he do now?

Should he just use some random script to fool them when the time comes?

The convenience store and robbery he mentioned off the cuff...

Eh?
