Chapter 186: Is this trying to blackmail Toei?!

Along with the first ray of sunshine, Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes.

Finally slept a full sleep, feeling that from this morning, he could be considered to have truly adapted to life back in Tokyo.

Toasted two slices of bread, fried bacon, and heated a cup of milk.

Naoki Nagayama carried the tray and ate breakfast in the corridor.

The morning sun fell into the courtyard, and the green plants in several flower pots looked full of vitality. It is a pity that the cherry blossoms in the yard had withered, and the yard didn't plant any other flowering plants, so he could only look at the green vitality in the dry landscape.

Last night, he had already called home, planning to go back to his hometown today to send the gifts, and by the way, bring Eitaro back.

The empty house for several days was really a bit cold.

Just when Naoki Nagayama was moving the gifts to the car, Otomo Yoshimura called.

"Naoki-san, it worked! Today's newspaper has no negative reports about our movie at all." Otomo Yoshimura said excitedly. "Should we stop too?"

"Why stop?" Naoki Nagayama asked back. "It's not us who are anxious now."

"But if we continue like this, it won't be good for us, right?"

Naoki Nagayama said indifferently: "If we give up like this, what if someone splashes dirty water next time?"

"Uh..."

"The small person in school wants not to be bullied, and establishing the impression of being hard to bully is the first step."

Naoki Nagayama said slowly, "After that, whether it is becoming a student with excellent academic performance, or becoming a member of a group, or exercising yourself to have a strong body, it is all based on this premise to be possible to complete."

Otomo Yoshimura was silent for a while and asked: "To what extent does Naoki-san want to do it?"

"At least, someone from Toei needs to contact Otomo-san and choose to 'make friends' with Otomo-san." Naoki Nagayama said, "At that time, depending on whether the person contacted is an enemy or a friend, then see if we can talk about cooperation~"

"Can we still talk about cooperation with Toei?"

"Why not? Hasn't Otomo-san heard of it? There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!" Naoki Nagayama felt that he was like "The Godfather" now, actually speaking reasonably.

"Hai, I understand." Otomo Yoshimura sighed. "With Naoki-san, I feel that the difficulties faced have become simpler."

"Hahaha, Otomo-san, you are concerned and chaotic. Actually, as long as you don't take the future development of the agency to heart, you can make decisions very easily!"

"... Naoki-san" Otomo Yoshimura was silent for a few seconds. "What you just meant is that you don't take the development of the agency to heart, right!"

"Uh... can't be understood like this..." Yabai! Accidentally said his inner thoughts, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly found a reason. "Just standing at a higher angle, can consider without interference..."

Otomo Yoshimura didn't care about any reason and roared: "You care about it for me! The agency is not just for me and Shuichi-san!!!"

"Hai! Really sorry!" Naoki Nagayama could only honestly admit his mistake. "I will definitely care more!"

After much difficulty, he survived Otomo Yoshimura's nagging, and Naoki Nagayama finally hung up the phone.

He breathed a long sigh of relief. Must pay attention to what he says next time~

Recalling that there was nothing left behind, Naoki Nagayama closed the door, started his beloved car, and headed to his hometown in Shizuoka.

Under the bright sunshine, the black convertible sports car galloped on the coastal road, with the surging waves on one side and the lush spring on the other.

The car audio played country music tapes brought back from the United States. The soothing guitar matched with the lazy voice, making people's thoughts slow down and easily enjoy the rare spring light.

The journey from Tokyo to Shizuoka has been back and forth several times. This time, he completely ignored the wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road and only spent 2 hours to reach Shizuoka.

When seeing that familiar small building, the time hadn't reached noon yet.

Parked the car aside, took the large and small bags on the passenger seat and pushed open the courtyard door, and heard a burst of barking, and then a white ball came to the front.

"Eitaro?!"

Naoki Nagayama was surprised. Is this the little guy he raised? From the original calf height, it has grown to the knee, but a puppy in the growth period, growing taller in a month is also very common, but what is going on with this chubby body shape!

A good Labrador, almost turned into a Chow Chow!

"Naoki, you're back!" Mother opened the door after hearing the sound outside, and seeing the large and small bags Naoki Nagayama was carrying, hurriedly helped to carry them. "So many things?"

"Hai, all gifts brought back."

Naoki Nagayama put the things in the living room, then pointed to Eitaro, who was timidly outside the door, and asked: "Kaasan, what's going on with Eitaro?"

Mother didn't feel anything: "Eitaro is still growing. The dog food you brought back is not enough to eat, so your father and eldest brother brought back some leftovers from the izakaya to feed him."

"... The dog food I brought back is for two months..."

"Is that so, but Eitaro is always calling hungry."

"Okay..." Naoki Nagayama called out to the white ball at the door. "Eitaro, come here~"

Not seeing each other for more than a month is considered a long time for a puppy. Eitaro didn't recognize him a little, but the familiar call still prompted Eitaro to move towards Naoki Nagayama slowly.

Until he smelled the scent on Naoki Nagayama's body, he wagged his tail all of a sudden and made a ying-ying-ying sound beside Naoki Nagayama.

Pinching the meat on Eitaro's face with his hand, Naoki Nagayama was helpless: "Eitaro, at such a young age, you actually have to lose weight~"

And at this time, the puppy was still happily rubbing against Naoki Nagayama.

At noon, seeing mother make a large basin of food and put it in Eitaro's food basin, Naoki Nagayama knew that the little guy's weight loss cause was long and difficult.

The afternoon was spent teasing Eitaro and chatting with mother.

Regarding things abroad, naturally, he introduced some fun places, and things like graffiti and little hooligans were not mentioned at all.

The scarves and bags brought to mother were very satisfactory. When buying vegetables at night, mother actually wanted to carry the Chanel bag to the vegetable market. Fortunately, considering the capacity, she finally gave up.

Luxury goods almost turned into vegetable baskets~

The yard of the old house is very large. After mother went out, Naoki Nagayama trained Eitaro in the yard. There was no tennis ball for the time being, so he used branches instead~

Although a little fat, the little guy is still very energetic when running. Taking a few dog foods as a reward, he learned to bring back the branches thrown out after a few times.

Learning to catch the frisbee in the future, it will be a pure frisbee dog~

After playing for more than an hour, Eitaro was tired and stretched his tongue, and Naoki Nagayama also felt his arms were a little tired. During the intermission, Naoki Nagayama heard the sound of pushing the door.

"Ni-chan, you're back!" Before seeing anyone, he heard Tsuruko's enthusiastic call. "Where is it?"

"Backyard..." Just separated by a door, how could she see it? It can be seen that Tsuruko was not asking about Naoki Nagayama himself, but the gift she had been chanting since the phone call last night.

There was no way to take this sister, Naoki Nagayama had to go into the living room and take out the prepared perfume.

"Na, this is your gift~"

"Eh, didn't you say it was a bag?" Although she said so, she took it over very skillfully, and then quickly unpacked the packaging.

In the box is the classic Chanel No. 19 perfume. In the simple crystal bottle, it concentrates the combination of white and green flowers, fresh and natural floral fragrance.

"What bag, you are still in school! You can't encourage vanity so early~" Naoki Nagayama looked at Tsuruko, who was admiring the perfume, and said earnestly like an old-fashioned parent.

"Qi~" Tsuruko hissed unhappily, then opened the perfume cap, and with one press, a fresh fragrance appeared in the living room. Eitaro beside him was stimulated and sneezed.

"It smells so good~" Tsuruko smelled the perfume, very happy, and thanked him sincerely. "Ni-chan, arigato, welcome home~"

"Sure enough, you don't scatter the eagle without seeing the rabbit? If there is no gift, you wouldn't welcome me~"

"How can it be~" Tsuruko immediately changed the subject. "Ni-chan, is the United States interesting?"

"Uh..."

I told mother once in the afternoon. Is it possible to say it again? Then shouldn't I say it again to father and eldest brother at night?

But there was no better way at this time, so he could only pick some things and tell Tsuruko.

"Ni-chan actually met acquaintances in the United States?"

"Not just acquaintances, but also made a few friends." Until dinner, Naoki still didn't stop.

"Speaking of which, when studying in high school, obviously English was very bad, why did it have nothing to do with it this time?"

"Uh... English things, still have to talk to foreigners more, talk more and you will be proficient."

Fortunately, students at home don't like to mention study, Tsuruko soon stopped, otherwise Naoki Nagayama would have to find a reason to explain.

After 9 o'clock, after father and eldest brother came back, naturally it was unpacking gifts again.

Father was very satisfied looking at the crafts, but the eldest brother looked at the brand-new sea fishing equipment, a little unnatural, and silently complained about this younger brother in his heart: "Why is it fishing equipment every time, am I destined to become a fishing guy."

"Need to communicate well when chatting in the future, need to change a direction~"

Naturally, he also chatted with father and eldest brother about the situation abroad, but mainly chatted about experiences like diving and graffiti, and the harmonious atmosphere lasted until rest~

The next morning,

"Ni-chan~ can you not take Eitaro away~"

Tsuruko grabbed the little guy tightly and didn't want to let go, completely ignoring Eitaro's action of wanting to escape.

"Without Eitaro, the house will be too cold! Don't you think so? Eitaro!"

Saying that, she pinched the puppy's cheek meat with her magic claws again. Sure enough, after getting fat, it can wrinkle when pulled~

Mother couldn't help it: "Who said it would be cold? With you here, the house is noisy! What has Eitaro been bullied into!"

"How can it be! How can it be! Where did I bully Eitaro!"

But the puppy's ying-ying-ying sound cannot be fake, and that pitiful little look made Naoki Nagayama a little unbearable.

"Alright, look at how fat Eitaro is raised, I want to take him back to Tokyo to lose weight!"

"Eh... but I don't want to leave him~"

"Aren't you going to Tokyo in April? You can see it then."

Speaking of this, Tsuruko Nagayama was happy again: "Right, Ni-chan must treat me well then!"

It sounds like I didn't treat you well before: "If mother wants to come to Tokyo to see cherry blossoms, you can also come with Tsuruko~"

Nanako Nagayama didn't refuse the kindness, but said she would ask father if he had free time then.

On the way back, Eitaro was very excited, I don't know if it was because this convertible hadn't been sat in for a long time, or because he escaped from the magic claws.

"Eitaro, you have to lose weight after going back! I will formulate a strict exercise time for you, you must persist!"

"Wang Wang~"

Yama Sakura-in restored its vitality because of the arrival of the owner. This time with the addition of Eitaro, the originally silent courtyard became a little more lively.

Untying the dog rope of the little guy, letting him run around alone, Naoki Nagayama listened to the phone recording.

Otomo Yoshimura really called again, but this time it wasn't about the public opinion report, but that Junko Ito's song was going to be on the Night Hit program, and the program group wanted to invite guests to the stage, and Naoki Nagayama, the producer, received an invitation.

Naoki Nagayama dialed back. Near noon, Otomo Yoshimura was indeed still at the studio.

"Otomo-san, I remember Junko-chan has already participated once, right? Night Hit

studio."

"Hai, it was when she just debuted before, it was our request to the TV station. This time it is the song entering the top ten of the chart, and the program group invited it." Otomo Yoshimura explained. "Simply put, it is the difference between spending money and not spending money."

"But for the program effect, the production bureau specifically expressed the request to invite Naoki-san through me. Does Naoki-san want to go?"

Naoki Nagayama didn't care, just supporting the agency's idols, mainly to see if there was time.

"Specific time?"

"Expected in a week, March 30th."

Recalling, there should be nothing: "ok, then I will go and participate!"

On the other side, Toei office,

Toshitaka Yamamura, the head of the Planning and Sales Department, who had just returned to the office after seeing a client, browsed the newspaper during the free time before lunch.

Found that there were still comments on "The Gas Station Robbery Incident" in some media, and it still involved Toei's movies.

A burst of fire in his heart, he shouted to the outside of the office: "Nakano! You come here!"

Toru Nakano, as the assistant to the department head, naturally knew about the report in the newspaper long ago and was prepared to be scolded, and ran into the office hurriedly.

"Nakano! What's going on! Didn't I tell you to notify the newspaper not to report it again?!" Toshitaka Yamamura roared, "Why are there still so many!"

"Department Head Yamamura, I have already understood the situation. Several newspapers are from Tree Friend Pictures, and they don't buy our face through Kadokawa's relationship."

Toru Nakano had made many phone calls in the morning. "Other newspapers are our competitors. Seeing Tree Friend Pictures' behavior, they are fueling the flames!"

"Kuso! These jackals! Seeing a wound, they want to bite!" Toshitaka Yamamura calmed down a little. "But why does Tree Friend Pictures dare to be so presumptuous? It's just a small production company that has just emerged. Don't they know Toei's energy?"

Toru Nakano reminded: "Department Head Yamamura, it is precisely because they are just a small production company."

Toshitaka Yamamura was angry again: "Are you saying? They want to blackmail Toei?!"

"But it's just an unknown person in rags, lying at the door of a rich man wanting to get a benefit." Toru Nakano's tone revealed contempt. "And the rich man is afraid of kicking dirty clothes and dirtying his shoes, so he gave one or two children to send them away."

Toshitaka Yamamura understood that this was a step found by the assistant, but at this time he didn't want to continue to let things ferment. If he was scolded by the department head again, this year's year-end bonus might be less by a large chunk.

"Also, Toei's reputation is more important. Nakano-kun, you go and contact them~"

"Hai, I will handle it well." ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
