Chapter 294

After confirming the creation of the new label REBELLION, Naoki Nagayama, just as Dayou Fangcun expected, pushed everything to Dayou Fangcun again.

Especially when he sent the scores for the three songs "Meteor Rain", "One Person's Romance", and "Picking Up Memories" later, he also hypocritically said: "Next, I'll leave the hard work to Dayou-san~ I have always believed that there is no one more trustworthy than Dayou-san!"

Then he spent five or six days leisurely. Every day, he either went to drink tea or wandered around with Eitaro. He even went to the club a few times!

It wasn't until Christmas day that he reluctantly came to the studio again...

"Dayou-san~ So I said, you can just send these red envelopes!"

The office door in the studio was locked, and the studio staff were not allowed to disturb. Inside the office, the table was piled with 10,000-yen banknotes printed with Prince Shotoku!

And the three of Naoki Nagayama were stuffing red envelopes with money in the office. The whole scene was like robbers who had just robbed a bank and were dividing the loot.

Yin Tangxiu sealed a red envelope, wrote the corresponding name on it, and said excitedly: "Naoki-san, if you stay at home any longer, you will get moldy! Besides, there are so many Prince Shotokus in front of you, aren't you excited?"

Naoki Nagayama was a little speechless, but it was only 5,000 banknotes. In fact, if 1,000 were stacked in a pile, they wouldn't even cover the entire desktop. If it weren't for the fact that they were dumped on the table all at once when they were brought over, the impact wouldn't actually be that great.

"I said Xiu Yi-san, you are a person with a net worth of several hundred million. It's only 50 million. Are you still excited to see this?"

Dayou Fangcun, who was sealing red envelopes, disagreed: "Naoki-san, even if I have money, I have the urge to grab a handful when I see so many banknotes in front of me~"

"Dayou-san, Xiu Yi-san, you must not let money confuse your eyes..."

Yin Tangxiu gave a "chi" sound: "If it weren't 50 million but 5 billion, Naoki-san wouldn't be able to say this either!"

Now Naoki Nagayama was choked up~

There were only 30 or so red envelopes in total, and the few of them finished it quickly, planning to issue the year-end bonus during Christmas.

After all, it's Christmas, let the employees experience the festive atmosphere.

Following the habit of last year, the studio employees were issued by Yin Tangxiu, the agency was issued by Dayou Fangcun, and the disco people were taken by Naoki Nagayama to be issued.

They were called in one by one according to their level. First was Xiaoshen Zhengxiao. This reserve director participated in multiple films this year, and plus he is considered a veteran employee, so the red envelope was very generous, 4.5 million, which is equivalent to the annual salary of other white-collar workers.

"Arigato, Xiu Yi-san, Naoki-san, Dayou-san!" Xiaoshen Zhengxiao was all smiles when he received the red envelope, bowing and thanking repeatedly.

And Yin Tangxiu put on the kind face of a superior, saying "Work harder next year~ I am optimistic about you~" and other encouragements, and let him go out.

The veteran employees who followed also had red envelopes of about 1 million, and some newcomers, such as Lizi Zaoye, because she joined later and didn't participate too much, so there was only a red envelope of 600,000.

The agency side was the same. As a key agent who contributed a lot, Yamin Tian received a big red envelope of 4 million. Several artists of the Wild Cat Group also received red envelopes of nearly 3 million, and Yuki Saito, who joined recently, also received a red envelope worth 2 million because she participated in "A Scene at the Sea" as the lead actress.

So artists are actually very profitable~ As long as you have plays to shoot and songs to sing~

After the issuance ended, the entire studio was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After Naoki Nagayama took the remaining red envelopes to the disco in Takadanobaba, a joyful atmosphere also spread in the disco, which was in the middle of a break.

After distributing the red envelopes, Naoki Nagayama joked with Shizhi Araki:

"Araki-san~ Seeing that they all have red envelopes, are you a little disappointed?"

"Hahaha~ How could it be? Their happiness is because they got red envelopes, and my happiness is that I can send out red envelopes~"

If you can issue red envelopes to employees, it means the company can make money!

After all, he is a person who takes a share. The more the company earns, the more he gets!

"Haha, that's true." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Then next year, I will continue to rely on Araki-san!"

"Yes! I will definitely work harder!"

After chatting for a while about the general plans for next year, Naoki Nagayama prepared to say goodbye, but suddenly remembered before leaving: "Didn't we say we would give guests a free glass of wine for Christmas? Has the morning session started, Araki-san?"

"Yes, it has already been given, and the guests expressed their gratitude." Shizhi Araki said happily, "And, what is more surprising is that the guests in the morning session consumed more alcohol!"

"Hahaha, did a glass of wine open their addiction to alcohol~"

"Maybe~"

However, the title of "unknown nightclub big fat sheep in Takadanobaba" has already spread out.

After the exciting year-end bonus distribution ended, Naoki Nagayama returned directly to Shanyingyuan, mailed all the gift bags prepared before,

And then packed all the New Year's gifts prepared for his family into the trunk of the Toyota Century, and prepared—to go to Osaka~

Akina Nakamori called specifically last night to remind Naoki Nagayama to watch her concert, so he couldn't miss it this time.

Go to Osaka a day in advance, drop Eitaro off at his hometown when passing through Shizuoka, then go to Osaka alone, sleep in a booked hotel for one night, then stroll around Osaka's city area during the day the next day, watch Akina's concert in the evening, and return to Shizuoka hometown on the third day~

This itinerary is perfect.

Naoki Nagayama, who set off from Tokyo, looked at the residual snow on the side of the road and the mottled residual snow in the grass, and had a mood to appreciate the last beauty of winter. The car was also playing light-paced country music.

However, after a period of time, Naoki Nagayama found something wrong.

On the mountain road, the snow was thick and needed to slow down; on the highway by the sea, it was icy and slippery, and needed to slow down even more...

Who knew that after it snowed, the speed dropped a lot...

He arrived in Shizuoka around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, walked along the familiar road to the familiar cabin,

The roof covered with snow still had the memory of the past few days, but the courtyard and the front of the door were swept clean. At this time, the big door was open, and he could see his mother hanging some ornaments at the door.

Naoki Nagayama hadn't greeted yet, Eitaro seemed to recognize the familiar figure and barked happily~

"Wang wang wang wang (I'm back!)"

Nanako Nagayama originally saw a black sedan passing by and didn't think it had anything to do with her home, because Naoki Nagayama's sports car had distinctive features and was easy to recognize.

But the dog's barking could be heard through the car window. After Naoki Nagayama lowered the car window, the dog jumped out directly, wagging its tail and running toward Nanako Nagayama at the door.

By the time Naoki Nagayama parked the car and walked back with some gifts, this guy was already spinning around his mother, and his mother was also happily touching the dog's big head.

"Okasan, I'm back~" Naoki Nagayama greeted with a smile, "Eitaro also misses mother very much!"

"Naoki, are you back so early this year?" Nanako Nagayama pulled Eitaro while welcoming Naoki Nagayama into the door.

Naoki Nagayama put the gifts in his hand in the living room and took out the bag for his mother: "Thinking of bringing the gifts back first on Christmas, Okasan, this is yours!"

"Arigato~ Naoki~"

Nanako Nagayama took it very happily. Although it is in a small city, which woman doesn't like bags? Even if she already has one, which woman doesn't want another choice?

Seeing his mother's loving look, Naoki Nagayama drank hot tea happily.

After a while, Nanako Nagayama finally calmed down, and Naoki Nagayama asked:

"Where are father and eldest brother?"

"They are not on holiday today."

That's right, Christmas is not a statutory holiday in Japan, so the izakaya still has to open.

"Is Hezi not on holiday today either?"

Mother had a tone of a daughter who didn't listen to her mother: "Even if it's a holiday, she has to go out with friends~ Christmas must be back in the evening!"

Speaking of this, mother intended to clean up the room for Naoki Nagayama to stay at night, but Naoki Nagayama stopped her immediately:

"Okasan, I won't stay at home tonight. I also have an appointment with friends to gather in Osaka~ Hehe~"

He definitely couldn't use the reason of watching a concert~

Nanako Nagayama raised her eyebrows and wanted to use her mother's scolding, but seeing Naoki Nagayama's guilty look, she couldn't help but laugh: "Sure enough, when children grow up, they all like to run out~"

Then she touched Eitaro lying beside her: "Eitaro is still good, likes to stay by mother's side all the time~"

Eitaro, who knew nothing, raised his head, enjoying the petting of mother Nanako, and revealed a licking dog's smile...

"Hehehe~ I have an appointment with friends, it's not good to break the appointment~"

Naoki Nagayama explained, but Nanako Nagayama waved her hand: "You have grown up, it's nothing to go to a party, but when will you be back?"

"Party tomorrow, I won't be back until the day after tomorrow."

"The 27th?" Nanako Nagayama nodded, "Are you leaving later?"

"Yes, I have to leave early, otherwise it might be a bit late when I arrive in Osaka~"

Leaving Eitaro behind and saying goodbye to his mother, Naoki Nagayama hit the road again driving the Toyota Century.

However, he misestimated one thing. Although Osaka is a bit far, he originally thought he would definitely be able to drive there before night. After all, it only takes more than an hour to get to Shizuoka, but when he arrived in Nagoya, the sky had completely darkened, and he had to turn on the lights to see the road.

And when he finally arrived in Osaka through the darkness, it was already past 11 o'clock at night!

Driving in ice and snow and driving at night is really very slow... and it is easy to have small accidents, slipping, falling into mud pits, etc. Naoki Nagayama got out of the car several times on the way... pushing the car shivering in the cold wind...

A few times he thought he would definitely have to spend the night in the wild... but the quality of the Toyota Century really lived up to its price. Walking and stopping, it finally persisted.

The hotel Naoki Nagayama booked before was the Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka, a five-star hotel with more than 40 years of history. However, when he arrived at the hotel located in Nakanoshima, Osaka, it was already almost 11 o'clock.

The young lady on duty at the front desk was a little surprised to see someone checking in so late, but after seeing Naoki Nagayama's face, she immediately became very enthusiastic.

"Welcome to Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka, may I ask if the guest has a reservation?"

"Yes, the suite is booked." Naoki Nagayama rubbed his somewhat frozen face, and his speech also appeared very stiff.

After checking in, Naoki Nagayama, who had only eaten some snacks on the way, was tired and hungry. He couldn't care about chatting with the young lady at the front desk and directly ordered a hot bowl of ramen.

"Please send it to my room~"

"Yes, please wait a moment, guest."

Except for the bag containing two changes of clothes, there was no luggage. Naoki Nagayama took the key and entered the room directly, and immediately took a hot bath~

When he came out, the ramen was already placed on the dining table in the suite.

The ramen in the hotel restaurant was very chewy and rich in taste, which well reflected the characteristics of Kansai cuisine and also comforted his hungry stomach very well.

After eating, Naoki Nagayama, who had been driving for an afternoon, lay directly on the big bed in the hotel and fell into a deep sleep.

In his hometown in Shizuoka,

After Hezi and Na Xiaochun separated, she happily pushed open her big door. Before she finished saying "I'm back," she keenly discovered Eitaro in the living room.

"Ah, Eitaro is back!" She immediately ran to the living room and ravaged the white dog head, but after looking around, she didn't see Naoki Nagayama's figure, "Okasan, didn't Ni-san come back?"

Mother Nanako's voice came from the kitchen: "Naoki had an appointment with someone and went to Osaka for a party."

"Eh... actually went to Osaka to play~" Hezi was a little envious, "Actually didn't even bring his sister!"

Mother sent the dishes to the dining table and said to Hezi unceremoniously: "Naoki went to gather with friends, what are you doing... wash your hands quickly, eat!"

"Humph..." Hezi didn't refute, but when she got up, she noticed the bag on the living room table and immediately became excited, "Okasan, did you actually buy a new bag? Was it sent by Ni-san? Where is mine? Where is mine?"

The gifts were naturally put away, ready to be opened when the whole family was together at night. Mother Nanako took out her mother's majesty: "The gifts must wait until father and Aoki arrive before they can be opened! Eat now!"

"Eh... but Okasan's gift was clearly..." Hezi originally wanted to fight for it, but seeing her mother's widened eyes, she immediately became weak, "Okay... eat first... wait for them to come back..."

After a meal, Hezi's heart was like a cat's claw. Watching her mother constantly admiring her bag, she could only transfer her impatient mood to Eitaro, so the dog head suffered another attack from the magic claws...

However, Eitaro is already an old dog. He closed his eyes slightly. Let him be strong, the breeze brushes the hills; let him be horizontal, the bright moon shines on the river.

If you really want to say it, Hezi's magic claws feel a bit like a massage, hmm... can be a little harder...
