Chapter 359: Akina-chan, you know me!

With the continued fermentation of the idol disqualification event, major media and newspapers in the entertainment industry began to discuss this scandal. Tomoko Takabe's boyfriend soon chose to commit suicide because he could not bear the pressure, and Tomoko Takabe therefore withdrew from the girl group "Warabe."

In a few days, the girl idols in the entire entertainment industry were trembling, and even the currently popular Seiko Matsuda reduced the frequency of her appearances, striving not to be affected by the storm.

Akina Nakamori also talked about this matter when she was in contact with Naoki Nagayama these days, but her tone sounded very normal. Relying on the image of a rebellious idol, she did not receive too much pressure in the storm, and the concert was also held one after another.

"There are three cities left! And then finally I will be liberated!" Akina said so on the phone that night, "The national tour is really too tiring! I don't want to tour nationally anymore!"

Naoki Nagayama remembered the annual arrangement Akina said before: "Eh? Didn't you say there is a national tour in the second half of the year?"

"..." The other side of the receiver was silent for a while, "Naoki-san, in this situation, you talk like this and you won't be able to win the favor of other girls!"

"What do I want to win the favor of other girls for? Just one person's favor is enough."

Naoki Nagayama teased, "Sigh, but it seems that there is some difficulty now~"

"Hmph~" Akina on the other side of the receiver was a bit shy, but she was very satisfied in her heart, "Naoki-san, who is so good at talking about love, can't think of a good way?"

"Good at talking about love?" Naoki Nagayama was wronged. He has really been self-disciplined for these years, "Where did this rumor come from! It's simply slander! Akina-chan wouldn't believe it, right?"

"Naoki-san, even if I don't pay much attention to gossip news, the name 'Flower-hearted Naoki' has already been heard several times!" Akina on the other side of the receiver said a bit sourly, but fortunately she was not angry, "Besides, being able to write a love novel like *Love Letter*, do you still dare to say you don't know how to talk about love?"

Faced with such stigma, Naoki Nagayama immediately explained:

"That nickname is just dirty water splashed by competitors!"

"Akina-chan! You know me!" Naoki Nagayama patted his chest to guarantee, "If I were flower-hearted, then the object of the scandal should have added Akina long ago!"

"Baka!" Akina, who was not yet an adult, had never heard such "tiger-wolf words," and then thought of something, "Wait, I remember! It's not like Naoki-san and I haven't had a scandal!"

"Nani?"

Naoki Nagayama was also a bit surprised. Speaking of which, he did have scandals with many female stars, especially when he had one in Los Angeles a few days ago. He was a bit unclear!

However, it seems that there were indeed a few reports when he and Akina released new songs!

"Hahaha, Naoki-san has nothing to say, right!" Akina on the other side of the receiver actually began to be proud, "Flower-hearted Naoki... well-deserved!"

Speaking of which, what is there to be proud of... This feeling of holding someone else's handle...

"Eh? Didn't expect Akina-chan to be so happy to have a scandal with me~" Naoki Nagayama pretended to be surprised, "Then let's find more opportunities to have some scandals~ Does Akina-chan have time recently? Let's show up together and break some news to the paparazzi!"

Speaking of which, it is really difficult to meet between busy top idols. Either the schedule is not there, or it is too late to return. No wonder so many lovers in the entertainment industry in later generations separated because of separation.

Akina Nakamori in the small apartment is of course very willing to meet Naoki Nagayama. By mistake, the two haven't met for more than a month, but the current her is indeed very busy. The agreement to go to Disneyland hasn't had time to agree yet.

"Not happy at all!" The girl whose corners of her mouth were already raised was lying on the bed and swinging her calves, but her mouth was still very hard, "However, it's a pity that before the concert ends, there may be no time."

Naoki Nagayama also sighed, but still barely cheered up: "Then there is no way, those paparazzi have to go and shoot Masahiko Kondo's scandals!"

No way, Masahiko Kondo in this period is the top stream of male idols. You can't avoid it if you mix in the entertainment industry.

Must brainwash Akina all the time, this guy has a bad record!

"Hahaha, yeah~"

Akina Nakamori at this time is not familiar with Masahiko Kondo, just someone who knows the name after being on the show together, and she doesn't have a good impression of that senior~

After continuing to chat for a while, considering that Akina Nakamori still needs to rush on the road tomorrow, Naoki Nagayama and Akina said goodnight.

Looking up at the window, the moon was in the sky again.

The fifth episode of *Cat's Eye* was aired. While a group of mainstream idols were temporarily avoiding the storm, the sexy idols Mikina Ono, Fei Sha Akishiyama, and Cai Zhi Pian Tong were not affected at all.

Perhaps it can be said that it is precisely because mainstream idols subconsciously avoided it that more viewers turned to the feet of the Cat's Eye sisters, because they found that the reason they liked the Cat's Eye sisters was very pragmatic, and their idols would never betray their fans.

After all, sexy idols have no burden on their image.

For a time, they appeared on variety shows more frequently, and even the cat dance that the Wild Cat Group first appeared on the screen reappeared on the screen, making the cat ear hair accessories popular again... However, Naoki Nagayama didn't receive copyright fees this time~

However, when Naoki Nagayama arrived at the studio, he just happened to see Xiuyi Yin Tang talking to Daotian Yamin Tian on the corridor.

"Xiuyi-san, this is a new variety show on TBS! And many idols are going to participate! It's an opportunity that absolutely cannot be missed!"

Xiuyi Yin Tang's tone even carried a bit of anger:

"Daotian Yamin-kun, I know that the Cat's Eye sisters have received many invitations recently, but this shouldn't make them participate in announcements too frequently. Do you know? After participating in the announcement the day before, their energy dropped a lot the next day, and the filming effect was very poor!"

"Xiuyi-san, let them participate one more time! This exposure will make their fame go to a higher level!" Daotian Yamin Tian begged bitterly, "This will also be of great help to the ratings of *Cat's Eye*. Besides, the contract has already been signed!"

"When did Daotian Yamin Tian become so brave, actually daring to confront Xiuyi Yin Tang head-on?

No, there must be something tricky in this!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't rashly participate in the conversation between the two, but quietly walked to Hayano Riko, who was also eating melons in the corner.

"Riko-chan, what happened?"

"Ah, Naoki-san, you are here!" Hayano Riko exclaimed softly, and then immediately lowered her voice, "It's Daotian Yamin-san arguing with Xiuyi-san about the Cat's Eye sisters participating in the announcement!"

"I heard this, but Daotian Yamin-kun actually argued with Xiuyi-san?"

Who gave him the courage? Jolin Tsai? Xiuyi Yin Tang is one of the three big bosses of Shuyou Film!

Hayano Riko heard this and whispered: "It seems that Dayou-san has already negotiated the announcement, but Xiuyi-san disagrees..."

Aha, sure enough, the courage that can give Daotian Yamin Tian is another big boss!

Naoki Nagayama watched in the corner as Xiuyi Yin Tang and Daotian Yamin Tian couldn't argue any results, and then couldn't find Dayou Fangcun, and finally left angrily... He tried his best to hide his figure behind Hayano Riko, so that the anxious Xiuyi Yin Tang didn't find him.

When others are angry, going to find him, Naoki Nagayama doesn't have the hobby of being scolded.

After Xiuyi Yin Tang went out, Naoki Nagayama returned to the office openly and found that Daotian Yamin Tian hadn't left yet, and was organizing the scattered documents on Dayou Fangcun's desk. This was when he carefully inquired:

"Daotian Yamin-kun, where is Dayou-san? What was going on just now?"

"Ah, Naoki-san." Daotian Yamin Tian smiled bitterly, "Dayou-san went out for something. Just now, it was without Xiuyi-san's consent, and temporarily let the Cat's Eye sisters take a variety show on the weekend."

"Xiuyi-san believes that participating in too many announcements will affect the actor's state..."

Explaining, the office door opened again, and Dayou Fangcun walked in sneakily.

This fake, sure enough, went to avoid the limelight! The studio is so small, could it be that he went to the toilet?!

"Hehe, Naoki-san, you are here." At this time, the balding man looked a bit wretched, "Daotian Yamin-kun, Xiuyi-san has already left, right?"

"Hai..." Looking at this superior who threw himself to face the fire, Daotian Yamin Tian could only be helpless, "Xiuyi-san had no way, and finally had to admit it, but he said that next time the crew wants to take an announcement, it must be with his consent!"

"Hmm, okay, I will remember it! This time I wronged you, Daotian Yamin-kun!"

Dayou Fangcun patted his shoulder, "I have seen your dedication!"

Sure enough, the senior big cake drawing expert and pua master started his action again.

After the subordinate went out, Naoki Nagayama began to interrogate Dayou Fangcun: "Dayou-san, why did you have a conflict with Xiuyi-san?"

"Ano..." Dayou Fangcun was a bit embarrassed, "Doesn't Naoki-san know, the Wild Cat Group is the first idol group I brought, so I have always wanted her to come back to life..."

"I know, but isn't *Cat's Eye* pushing in this direction now? Is there any problem?"

Dayou Fangcun waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, Xiuyi-san filmed it very well... Actually, this time, I saw that the opportunity for this variety show is very rare, so I quickly agreed to let the Cat's Eye sisters participate."

"Oh? Not hesitating to offend Xiuyi Yin Tang to participate?" Naoki Nagayama was curious, "What kind of variety show is it?"

"It's a special plan for TBS—*Idol's Yearning*." Dayou Fangcun said, "Because there have been more and more discussions about idols recently, the production bureau of TBS specially planned such a variety show, inviting the most representative idols of the moment: Seiko Matsuda, Akina Nakamori, Kyoko Koizumi, Naoko Kawai, Toshihiko Tahara, etc., to participate in such discussions together and face questions from the audience."

"Interview type?"

"Hai, similar to interview type, but I heard that other links have been added," Dayou Fangcun said, "Because the Cat's Eye sisters are representatives of special types of idols, they were invited. Yuki Saito was also invited."

So many top idols gathered together, and then discussed hot topics, just listening to it, you know there will be super high exposure, which made Dayou Fangcun's heart move.

"Sounds very interesting~" Naoki Nagayama asked, "Who planned it?"

"The producer is a young man named Yasushi Akimoto." Dayou Fangcun said, "He has already produced many famous programs."

Naoki Nagayama heard that it was planned by this guy Yasushi Akimoto, and immediately associated it with the famous "Twilight Meow Meow" program. It was this variety show that tipped the idol industry in the Showa era and then stepped on it fiercely.

"Oh? This is even more interesting!"

Asked about the details of the variety show again.

Naoki Nagayama originally only wanted to ask about the situation of Junko Ito and Yuki Saito when he came to the studio, to see if they were affected by the storm. He originally planned to go to the filming set of *Cat's Eye* to see in the afternoon.

Now Xiuyi Yin Tang might be in a fit of anger, so he naturally cannot go there in the afternoon.

But he actually got such interesting news from Dayou Fangcun, which made Naoki Nagayama curious, so he decided to make an appointment with the TV station's acquaintances Tai Tai Sugiura and Rumi Nishi to drink tea in the afternoon to inquire about the news.

"Moxi Moxi, this is the First Production Department of Fuji TV." A formulaic female voice came from the receiver.

Naoki Nagayama picked up the phone: "Rumi-san, I am Naoki Nagayama."

"Naoki-san? Long time no see!" Rumi Nishi's tone became lively, "I haven't been in contact since *Boys Over Flowers* finished airing!"

In fact, after *Boys Over Flowers* was aired halfway, Naoki Nagayama, the lead actor, seemed to have disappeared. The publicity actually couldn't find anyone. Fortunately, Fuji TV probably knew Naoki Nagayama's personality and didn't demand too much.

"Hahaha, isn't this coming to contact?" Naoki Nagayama smiled and brought it over, "How are you recently? What is Tai Tai-san busy with?"

"Of course it's good recently... One *Boys Over Flowers* drama is enough to complete the performance of the whole year!" Rumi Nishi said a bit satisfied, "But Tai Tai-san just went out to help with the new program."

"That's really hard work~" Naoki Nagayama knew that he couldn't talk much on the phone, "Rumi-san, do you and Tai Tai-san have time this afternoon? How about inviting you to drink tea?"

"Drink tea..."

There are many people in the entertainment industry who invite them out to drink, generally to contact relationships or ask for help to coordinate work, but inviting to drink tea is not very common.

Not to mention that the person who invited them was Naoki Nagayama. Rumi Nishi thought for a while and decided to give face:

"Then we won't go if it's not good tea."

"That's natural!" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Ginza's Sanmeiju, the best tea leaves!"

After arriving in Ginza, the antique building of Sanmeiju was still conspicuous, and the shopkeeper Katsuo Yasui was still working conscientiously at the counter.

"Naoki-san!" After seeing Naoki Nagayama, Katsuo Yasui smiled, "Still the old position?"

"Hmm, still jade dew tea." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "There will be two friends coming together later."

"Hai, I will pay attention to taking care of it!"

Katsuo Yasui hurriedly greeted Chika Sakakibara to lead the way for Naoki Nagayama, and he himself began to take out the high-end tea set that Naoki Nagayama stored here to clean.

If Naoki Nagayama came to drink tea by himself, he generally didn't have too high requirements for tea sets, but this time he was entertaining friends, so everything must be the best!

Naoki Nagayama soon came to his usual tea seat. Chika Sakakibara, wearing a kimono, tidied up the layout on the seat slightly,

"Naoki-san, please wait a moment, I will go to make tea and make tea snacks."

"Hmm, don't worry, they should be a while."

"Hai~"

The afternoon sun shone on the table of the tea seat, colliding with the solid wood countertop, showing horizontal and vertical lines on the seat; the tall shadows of the street trees outside the shop were reflected on the wooden floor, forming mottled light and shadows; the breeze blew, the light changed slightly, and the carvings on the eaves also trembled with the sun, as if they had breathing.

This antique building seems to add a bit of
