Chapter 260: After letting go, I instantly felt relaxed

~14 min read 2,761 words

Just like that, I wandered around in Jimbocho for more than an hour, and even found a small restaurant hidden in the residential area to solve lunch.

Home-cooked stir-fry and fried meatballs, paired with shredded lettuce and miso soup, were eaten very happily with white rice.

When hungry, such home-cooked meals full of fireworks made people have a great appetite.

Carrying a bag of books and finding his car, Naoki Nagayama didn't plan to go back directly.

It was hard to come out once, of course, he had to go around, and what's more, the gift hadn't been bought yet~

Driving slowly along the busy road, it was only two kilometers from Jimbocho to Akihabara, but it took more than ten minutes to drive. No wonder many locals in Tokyo like to take the subway in the city.

I haven't been to Akihabara for a long time. Naoki Nagayama first went to his own shop to take a look. Well, the electrical appliance shop is still opening well there. It seems that the rent is no problem.

Akihabara, which is still an electrical street, can see domestic and international electrical appliances here, but Naoki Nagayama is here to pick gifts this time. Refrigerators, color TVs, etc., are a bit excessive, so he went directly to the area of small products.

The dazzling array of electrical appliances are arranged on the display stand in an orderly manner, making people who didn't have a choice difficulty originally forced out of this problem.

Naoki Nagayama walked slowly in the aisle, looking at the goods in front of him, and for a while, it was difficult to choose. When passing by the Sony display cabinet, he caught a glimpse of Sony's walkman.

"I've already bought a walkman~" Such thoughts flashed in Naoki Nagayama's heart, and he wanted to move forward, but suddenly remembered, "It seems I bought it for Tsuruko... I also bought it myself..."

Speaking of which, Naoki Nagayama usually listens to the record player at home, and listens to the car audio in the car. His walkman is rarely used. It should be gathering dust in a cabinet in the bedroom at this time.

"However, Akina is always busy. This kind of portable player should be useful~" Anyway, I haven't seen Nakamori Akina already have it herself. Such a gift should be very practical~

In October this year, Sony just released the latest cassette player wm-7, which used automatic tape flipping, repeat playback technology, and noise reduction technology for the first time. The price in Japan is yen.

"There are only two colors..." Naoki Nagayama took a silver wm-7 directly at the counter and matched it with a lightweight head-mounted earphone.

It's just that sending this gift for Wan Shengjie seems a bit strange...

Coming out of Akihabara, Naoki Nagayama still didn't go home, but came directly to Takadanobaba.

Just remembered Wan Shengjie, he thought of the disco. Should the Wan Shengjie special event be held this year too?

"Hai, Naoki-san, we are already preparing for the Wan Shengjie party!" Arakawa Shigechi said to the boss who came to inspect suddenly, "The early decoration has already begun."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the pumpkin lanterns that were slowly hanging up in the disco and nodded. Arakawa Shigechi's management ability is really excellent.

"Shigechi-san, how is the business of the disco recently?"

"No problem at all, it's even better than before the renovation. Now the afternoon session basically has to queue for half an hour, and for the evening session, 1 hour and a half is already the lowest standard."

The business situation of this disco in Takadanobaba is measured by the time customers party, which can be regarded as unique...

"Hahaha, that's good~" This cyberpunk style, it seems that the acceptance is still quite high~

Arakawa Shigechi paused. "But Naoki-san, there is a situation I want to tell you."

"? Nani?"

"There is a guest in the disco who doesn't like to dance after coming to the disco, and didn't listen to songs... Instead, he ran around in the disco and observed every corner of the disco very carefully."

"Er, is it a fire inspection?"

"No, just looking around..."

Naoki Nagayama was curious: "Is it a thief stepping on the spot?"

"Thieves stepping on the spot won't be so open... Naoki-san." Arakawa Shigechi was a bit speechless. "And this guy has said many times to our waiters that he wants to see the designer of the disco."

Arakawa Shigechi knows that the design is the Honma Design Office, but the style and creativity of the disco were decided by Naoki Nagayama. Naturally, he wouldn't disturb his own boss directly for this kind of thing, but now that the person is here, it's okay to mention it.

"Haha, Omoshiroi~" Naoki Nagayama laughed and looked at the dance floor. "Did he come today?"

"No, he usually comes on weekends."

"That's a pity." Naoki Nagayama usually stays at home on weekends and won't come to the disco. "Let's talk about it next time. What is his name?"

"His name is Otomo Katsuhiro."

Seems a bit familiar, probably heard it somewhere?

Naoki Nagayama didn't think much. "Then Shigechi-san, I've seen enough, I'll go back first~"

"Eh, doesn't Naoki-san play for a while?"

"Haha, what's the fun of coming to the disco alone." Saying this, Naoki Nagayama was about to go out from the main door, but suddenly thought of something, returned to the backstage, and found a lifelike pumpkin lantern of suitable size.

"Shigechi-san, sorry, can I take this pumpkin lantern away?"

Arakawa Shigechi was full of questions, but soon reacted: "Of course, if Naoki-san needs it, it's okay to take a few more!"

"Haha, one is enough~"

Naoki Nagayama, who drove back home, put the pumpkin lantern in the passenger seat, and then stuffed the walkman into the pumpkin lantern's mouth.

Pressing the switch, yellow light can be transmitted, but looking through the eyes, you can see a shadow inside the lantern...

"In this way, there should be a Wan Shengjie atmosphere~"

Seeing Naoki Nagayama driving back home, Yingtailang, who had been suffocated in the house for most of the day, was excited, jumping back and forth around the owner.

"Yingtailang, don't rub anymore!"

Such an order was completely ignored by the big dog, who also stood on its hind legs and put its front paws on Naoki Nagayama, wanting to lick him.

"If you do this again, I'll use the big move!"

Seeing that the dog didn't respond, Naoki Nagayama took out the pumpkin lantern directly and pressed the switch. The yellow light rushed out from the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin lantern, flickering, and in the dim room without lights, the whole pumpkin lantern seemed to be alive.

Yingtailang clearly hadn't seen this kind of thing and was a bit scared for a while, and Naoki Nagayama took the opportunity to approach with the pumpkin lantern.

"Yingtailang, the pumpkin monster is coming, ah la la la la~"

The young and ignorant dog was controlled by the owner's shameless trick and had to hide everywhere. When he was driven to the corner, he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his front paws and made a "Ying Ying Ying" plea for mercy again.

"Hahaha, let you not listen!"

Putting the pumpkin lantern on the cabinet, I didn't expect this prop to be used like this~

After turning on the lights, Naoki Nagayama found that the prompt light of the phone answering machine in the living room was flashing, which meant that someone had called.

Walked over and pressed the answer button:

"Moxi Moxi, President Nagayama, this is Muramatsu Xingli from the Public Employment Security Office. We have found a relatively suitable candidate for your recruitment requirement before. Let's see when you are free to contact us and make an appointment for the interview time. That's all."

There is news about the store manager of the tea house. Looking at the sky outside, Naoki Nagayama pressed the callback button directly.

"Du~ Du~ Du~"

"Moxi Moxi, this is Muramatsu Xingli of the Shibuya Public Employment Security Office." It seems to be a work phone, no mistake.

"Good afternoon, Muramatsu-san, I am Naoki Nagayama. I heard your previous phone message, so I called back."

"Ah, President Nagayama." I heard the sound of flipping materials from the receiver. "For the tea house store manager you wanted to recruit before, we have found two candidates for you. They are both experienced employees. Let's see when it is convenient for you to come for an interview?"

"It's really great to have news so quickly. As for the interview time, are they both okay?"

"Hai, both are currently in an unemployed state."

"Then set it at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I remember filling in the address of the tea house, right? Let's interview in the tea house~" Naoki Nagayama intends to interview directly in the tea house. If possible, it can be regarded as understanding the workplace in advance.

"Hai, then I will notify the two candidates later. President Nagayama, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, they will bring the files of the Security Office to the tea house for an interview!"

"Ok!"

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama started to think about the interview techniques before. Anyway, he had interviewed quite a few people in his previous life. What psychological personality test, what star behavior analysis method...

After thinking for a long time, I only felt that my brain was big. "Well, forget it, I am the boss, as long as it suits my heart!"

After letting go, Naoki Nagayama instantly felt relaxed~

Originally, opening this tea house was not for making money. If you still have to be picky about the ability of employees at this time, will you have to start performance appraisal later?

Then you have to establish an assessment system, set kpi indicators, strengthen management, carry out pua, and finally become an annoying greasy boss.

Naoki Nagayama doesn't want to be so tired!

"Forget it, let's watch TV~"

The lazy guy lay directly on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started watching strange variety shows.

Fangcun Dayou did not participate in the preview in the morning, nor did he stay in the studio he often stayed in. Instead, he received Sugura Tai, the group leader of the First Production Department of Fuji TV, in a coffee shop.

A few days ago, Sugura Tai asked Fangcun Dayou's phone number from the minister, and made an appointment with Fangcun Dayou to meet at this time.

Fangcun Dayou had met Sugura Tai a few times.

When *Tales of the Unusual* was broadcast on Fuji TV, when Fangcun Dayou invited the minister of the First Production Department, Takano Kazuki, to dinner, Sugura Tai accompanied him as the minister's subordinate;

When *Tales of the Unusual* was half-forced to be sold, Sugura Tai was also sitting on the side watching the "communication" between Takano Kazuki and Fangcun Dayou.

"Sugura-san, long time no see, how have you been?"

After Fangcun Dayou arrived, he greeted very enthusiastically. Although he didn't know what others wanted to talk about, since he was from the production bureau, it must be right to have a good relationship.

Sugura Tai looked at the high-spirited Fangcun Dayou. Although he was still a middle-aged bald head, his spirit and confidence were completely different from the somewhat down-and-out middle-aged man at that time.

At that time, the three people of Shuyou Film had just gathered together.

The advertising resources that had been negotiated were snatched by Johnny's; the Wild Cat Group, which had been hard to support with the compensation of Johnny's, was snatched by the burning agency; then with the compensation given by the burning agency, they worked hard to create a program at Fuji TV, and it was about to be forcibly "bought away" by the minister of the production bureau...

At that time, it could be said that it was the bottom of the bottom, plus Fangcun Dayou left his old club in a fit of anger, and he was at a loss. The whole person revealed a breath of middle-aged difficulty.

And now, the idol singers under Fangcun Dayou are very popular, and the film business can already talk to the president of the Kadokawa Group about how to sprint for the Oscars!

The whole person has a high-spirited feeling.

Sugura Tai recalled it and couldn't help but sigh. In less than two years, the change is really big.

"Fangcun-san, long time no see~" Sugura Tai signaled the waiter to order. "Everything is the same as before, barely maintaining life, but Fangcun-san's change is a bit big. It looks like everything is going well!"

"Hahaha, where, where~ just mixing rice to eat."

After a few greetings, Fangcun Dayou ordered coffee and entered the theme directly. After all, the two were not familiar with each other. There must be a reason for making an appointment with himself this time.

"Sugura-san, what's the matter with calling me here this time?"

"Where dare to say instructions... Hahaha, Fangcun-san, don't make fun of me. I made an appointment with you this time because I want to ask for advice." Sugura Tai originally planned to lower his posture, and he was more convinced after seeing Fangcun Dayou's mental outlook.

"Ask for advice?" Fangcun Dayou didn't understand. "What can I help Sugura-san with such shallow ability? If there is, I will definitely go all out."

"Arigato!" Having such an attitude is a good start. "Although I am very embarrassed, it is actually about *Tales of the Unusual*..."

【To tell the truth, I have been using Yeguo Reading to follow the updates recently. The source switching is good, the reading tone is many, and the Android and Apple versions are both available.】

Sugura Tai explained the predicament that the program is currently facing a decline in broadcast market share and may even be withdrawn, wanting to ask Fangcun Dayou for the secret of the high broadcast volume before.

Fangcun Dayou thought carefully. Why was this program popular at the beginning? Besides the novel story, there seemed to be nothing else, right?

The shooting team was the one that shot advertisements before, the actors were guest-starred by staff, and the few professional actors actually didn't have much fame.

Oh, by the way, Higuchi Kanako is already a well-known actor.

If there is any secret, Fangcun Dayou only thought of one:

The screenwriter of *Tales of the Unusual* is Naoki Nagayama!

But how should I tell Sugura Tai about this?

"Ano... asking so suddenly, I can't answer for a while." Fangcun Dayou pondered directly. "Sugura-san knows, in fact, I am mainly responsible for business matters. The creation and production of the program are actually handled by Yin Tangxiu and Naoki Nagayama."

Sugura Tai nodded: "So it is. In that case, I have to ask Director Yin Tangxiu and Mr. Naoki Nagayama."

"If it is biased towards content, it is indeed necessary to ask them~"

"Then Fangcun-san, can I visit the two?"

"Now?" Fangcun Dayou felt Sugura Tai's anxious mood. It seems that the pressure from above is very high. "Currently, Xiu-san is filming a movie in a certain set, and may not have time."

After experiencing the runaway incident, the investors and the crew simply wanted to lock Yin Tangxiu in the set.

"Ah, if it is closed shooting, then there is really no way." Sugura Tai knows the filming of the movie. "What about screenwriter Naoki Nagayama?"

"Naoki-san, he should be busy with the preview of a movie at this time."

"Preview? Shuyou Film has produced a new movie again?"

"Ah, yes, it is directed by Naoki-san."

Sugura Tai was surprised: "Eh? Isn't Naoki Nagayama a screenwriter?"

"Hahaha, screenwriters have the ambition to be directors~" Fangcun Dayou laughed. "Sugura-san, today they may not have time. Why don't I help you make an appointment with them later?"

"Is that so... Then there is no way. Trouble Fangcun-san!" Although a bit disappointed, there is no way if others are busy.

Although this main thing did not reach the goal, Sugura Tai was equally curious about Fangcun Dayou's huge changes. In the following time, they chatted about the world.

Fangcun Dayou also had the heart to have a good relationship with the production bureau, and the two chatted enthusiastically.

Finally, it even developed to the point of going to drink together.

When parting, Sugura Tai was already dizzy, but didn't forget to exhort:

"Dayou-san, remember to help me make an appointment with them!"

"Don't worry, Tai-san, absolutely no problem!"
