Chapter 189: Became a heart-to-heart big brother~
Naoki Nagayama's life these two days has been very regular and healthy: morning running and walking Eitaro, eating some healthy breakfast after returning home, practicing piano or reading some literary classics in the morning, eating a high-end restaurant outside at noon, watching TV or strolling in the park or having a cup of tea with Old Man Aoyama in the afternoon, cooking by himself or ordering takeaway at night, walking Eitaro again, watching variety shows or cartoons after returning home, and reading some classics before going to bed...
Life without worrying about money is sometimes so boring.
Although this life is comfortable, it is also very flat. Naoki Nagayama couldn't stand it after a few days.
People always have to find something to do for themselves.
He found the architect Naoya Sakata again. It's not that he didn't want to find Takashi Honma, but he seemed to be participating in a foreign training class, and all the business in Japan was temporarily left to Naoya Sakata and another designer.
Naoki Nagayama had contact with Naoya Sakata once and felt that his ability was okay, so he planned to continue to entrust it.
"Naoki-san, this time it's two projects."
"Hai, both are renovation projects. One is a dance hall that is currently operating, mainly adjustments in internal decoration. The requirement is speed, minimizing the disturbance to operations; the other is an old house renovation. The engineering volume is relatively large, there is no big time requirement, but it needs to be re-designed and planned."
"Hai, I understand!" The two projects add up to millions, which is a big order for a small architectural firm.
Next, Naoya Sakata carefully asked about the renovation style and budget requirements, and then proposed to go to the site for inspection and measure the size.
"Go directly to the dance hall, find Manager Araki, I have already greeted him, he will fully cooperate with you." Naoki Nagayama took out the key to the Ginza watch shop and gave it directly to Naoya Sakata. That place is gloomy, he doesn't want to go for the time being. "The key to Ginza is given to you, go see it at any time."
The two agreed to communicate after the design draft was drawn. Naoki Nagayama didn't worry about the design quality. After all, there is another designer in the firm to help.
After eating lunch and resting for a while,
In the afternoon, taking advantage of the spring light, he decided to take Eitaro for a walk.
Along the line from Ueno to Akihabara, thinking that he could finally take a look at the shop in Akihabara. Although money was paid on time every month, he didn't feel at ease without looking at the shop under his name.
The cherry blossoms in Ueno Park in spring are really a rare place to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo. 1200 Somei Yoshino cherry trees are too atmospheric, directly comparing Meguro River.
The interesting cultivation game "Sakura Wars" in later generations seems to have taken the scene here. The beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms makes many game lovers unforgettable.
On a weekday afternoon, it is not a holiday or event. Ueno Park only has some college students and few tourists from other places. Plus Ueno Park covers an area of 500,000 square meters, so the whole park is very quiet.
Naoki Nagayama walked in the park holding Eitaro, looking at the historical sites that were obviously much more than other parks, such as Toshogu, Kiyomizu-do, Saigo Takamori statue, etc., and his brain also flipped through the relevant memories, feeling very interesting.
When walking to the Saigo Takamori statue, Naoki Nagayama pointed to the puppy also holding a small dog and said, "Eitaro, look at the little dog, it is much thinner than you."
And Eitaro sneezed regardless, and then actually raised his hind legs at the base of the statue...
"Hey, hey, Eitaro, you are a bit too disrespectful to historical celebrities."
The distance from Ueno to Akihabara is not far or near, but there are all kinds of small shops on the street, and you won't feel tired when shopping.
Naoki Nagayama bought a fried meat cake on the road and ate it with Eitaro, slowly shaking to Akihabara.
The shop at home is naturally open well. The flow of people in the electrical street is endless, and there are quite a few people entering and exiting. The business of the shop looks good, so Naoki Nagayama didn't disturb too much.
Returning from Akihabara to Chiyoda naturally has to take a car, otherwise he must be exhausted today~
When returning to Yama Sakura-in at 5 o'clock, Eitaro was already a little listless. After entering the door, he lay on the blanket in the living room and didn't want to move, and didn't drink much water.
Naoki Nagayama was still okay. The young body was very resistant. After walking for almost an afternoon, it was only slightly stiff.
Looking at Eitaro and laughing: "Eitaro, a few more times, maybe you can lose weight~"
9 o'clock at night, when Naoki Nagayama was watching TV,
The phone rang again.
The ringtone of this old-fashioned phone is really a bit scary. Naoki Nagayama decided to change to a softer ringtone.
Otherwise, he will always be disturbed by "Ring."
"Moshi moshi, this is Yama Sakura-in."
"Good evening, Naoki-san~" The voice of Akina Nakamori with distinctive characteristics came from the other side of the receiver, but it felt a bit tired.
"Ah, it's Akina-chan~" Naoki Nagayama lowered the TV volume. Little Akina should be busy debuting at this time. Suddenly calling, is it because of the photos mailed?
"Did Akina-chan receive the photos?"
"Hai, received the photo album mailed by Naoki-san, it is very beautiful, really thank you very much! Because I haven't returned to the apartment these two days, I saw it today, sumimasen!"
Akina Nakamori said while flipping through the photos. In fact, she also just returned to the apartment in Tokyo today. After returning from the United States, she has been running promotions in major cities. If it weren't for the TV program tomorrow, she might be in the car now.
"So busy before debuting?"
"Hai, have been promoting everywhere since returning from the United States." Akina Nakamori's voice had a feeling of fatigue,
"Can rest time be guaranteed?" Naoki Nagayama heard it and was a little worried.
When an idol just debuts, it is actually not the busiest time, because there are no fans and no fame, and there won't be too many announcements to find. But when it is in the rising phase, it is the busiest time, and continuous rotation is a common occurrence.
However, like Akina Nakamori, who is backed by the Burning Production agency, the intensity of promotion in the initial stage is not comparable to small agencies.
"Actually, it's okay. A very long part of the time is spent on the road in the car." Akina Nakamori seemed to have a little pride. "At that time, I took the opportunity to make up for sleep, haha."
Supporting herself to tell jokes like this, it is clear that she doesn't want others to worry about her. This mood of trying to think for others, both stubborn and pitiful, is not good to say anything to comfort.
Slightly silent, Naoki Nagayama carefully avoided further digging in this aspect, respecting Akina's mood,
Decided to change the subject:
"Akina-chan, has the debut song been determined?"
"Hai, it is "slow
motion," decided just yesterday." Little Akina thought of something again. "Sumimasen, Naoki-san's "second
love" was not selected."
"Hahaha, what is this, as long as it is still sung by Akina-chan~" Naoki Nagayama didn't care about whether it was a debut song or not. It was originally a song given to Akina.
"Speaking of which, how was the debut song chosen?"
"Hai, it is filling out a questionnaire, letting the audience choose." Akina seemed to be interested. "A few days ago, I returned to the school I attended, then asked the teacher before to let the students listen to the four alternative songs, and then asked the classmates before to fill out the questionnaire... Hahaha, feel like I troubled everyone a lot~"
"What is this, everyone must also be looking forward to Akina-chan's singing voice."
The conversation opened, and Akina's experience during the time she returned to Japan was also told tactfully. After returning to Japan, because of work, she became more and more busy, and didn't see her mother many times.
"This is also no way~" Naoki Nagayama comforted himself. "After graduating from high school, I came to Tokyo to work. I only had one phone call a month, and I couldn't see it a few times a year."
"Then Naoki-san wouldn't miss home?"
"If you miss home..." Actually, I didn't miss it much in the first year of memory. I was busy chasing stars. "At the beginning, I shouldn't miss it much, instead, there is a feeling of freedom, hahaha~"
"Hahaha, freedom?"
"Isn't it? Akina-chan, is there anything you couldn't do at home before?"
"Haha, that's right, I couldn't watch TV until 12 o'clock at home before."
"Eh? Akina-chan is
"Hai, please call me TV Akina~"
"Hahaha~"
The atmosphere became more and more relaxed, and the two didn't end the call until 11:30.
Toward the end of the conversation, they also touched on quite a few work-related matters. Naoki Nagayama also felt some of the pressure implied in Akina Nakamori's chat, such as being surrounded by adult colleagues and no one listening to her opinions.
Just like young people who have just entered the workforce, facing new fields and different colleagues, their initial feelings must also be anxious and uneasy. And for relatives, these emotions are usually hard to express. At this time, they either digest it themselves or find one or two good friends to go out for a drink and chat.
And among Akina Nakamori's friends, they were either former classmates who couldn't understand the current work situation at all, or new colleagues who were older and not particularly familiar, so she couldn't complain about work.
Naoki Nagayama just happened to be the right age and had a good relationship, so he played the role of such a sympathetic big brother.
