Chapter 373: Isn't it normal to get married at twenty-three or twenty-four?

The sun in June was already very scorching~

Even in the early morning, one could occasionally hear the chirping of cicadas on the street. The green leaves of the street trees and the sunlight intertwined, laying a layer of light spots on the road surface.

Wearing large sunglasses, a simple solid-colored T-shirt, and jeans, Naoki Nagayama stepped onto the high-speed rail under the morning sun and arrived at the studio as usual.

After pushing open the door, he found that there were much fewer people here.

Because Shuichi Yin Tang and Masataka Komori were editing the film, a bunch of people from the crew were working at the company.

"Riko-chan, where are the others?" When in doubt, ask Riko. Naoki Nagayama asked Riko, who was busy at the desk.

Riko Hayano looked at Naoki Nagayama with surprise:

"Naoki-san, Shuichi-san and the others have all gone to Germany!"

Eh? They just left like that?

Naoki Nagayama felt that the rhythm seemed a bit wrong: "Isn't there still the ninth episode not filmed? How did they go to Germany?"

Riko Hayano didn't know either: "Not clear... However, Masataka-san is still in the editing room, maybe he knows more over there."

"Shuichi-san, this guy, actually went to Germany to have fun himself, and left his apprentice in Tokyo!"

Naoki Nagayama understood. Shuichi Yin Tang must have thrown the remaining filming tasks to Masataka Komori. "Poor Masataka-kun, I'll go see him in a while~"

He opened the office door and found Otomo Yoshimura, who was also working seriously.

"Naoki-san?" Coming a bit too often these few days?

"Hai, Otomo-san, how is it? Has Burning Agency contacted you further?" Naoki Nagayama was still a bit concerned about this matter.

"No further action yet." Otomo Yoshimura put down his work. "However, the worst-case scenario is just suppression. I went to find Haruki Kadokawa, and he told me there was no need to worry."

"Indeed, I also asked an insider. This poaching is still behind the back of that Etsuro Kikuchi, and Ikuo Suo did not participate." Naoki Nagayama patted Otomo Yoshimura on the shoulder to show comfort.

"Is it that guy again?" Otomo Yoshimura thought of this person. The first time he poached the Wild Cat Group was also because of him, but he had only dealt with his subordinates before. "He's simply sticking like chewed gum!"

"Perhaps it has become an obsession~"

Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura analyzed Etsuro Kikuchi's mentality for a while and expressed their disdain for him. The bald old agent was obviously much more relaxed after knowing that the president of Burning Agency hadn't intervened.

"Naoki-san, you didn't come today just to tell me this, right? You seem to be in a good mood?" Otomo Yoshimura joked. "Did something good happen?"

"Hahaha, what good thing could happen." Naoki Nagayama didn't want to talk about such private issues. "Just because I'm young! Full of energy!"

Naoki Nagayama, wearing only jeans and a T-shirt, looked sunny and handsome when he laughed, with a slender body and muscle lines... especially standing in front of the pot-bellied and bald middle-aged agent, it highlighted his youthful vitality even more.

"." Otomo Yoshimura looked at the youthful boy in front of him and was speechless for a while. A bitter smile appeared on his face. As expected, youth has already left me~

Naoki Nagayama didn't notice anything, but continued: "Also, coming here this time, I originally wanted to discuss the filming matters of 'Crows Zero' with Shuichi-san, but I didn't expect that guy to fly to Germany..."

"Ah, 'Crows Zero'~" Otomo Yoshimura chewed on the movie title. It sounded like a movie full of youth and hot-bloodedness. "This movie is filmed by ourselves! Then the production committee is very simple."

"Hai, we produce it ourselves!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded. This was different from the previous two TV series. It didn't need others to participate in the preparation, nor did it need investors. It was very flexible in terms of time and filming requirements.

"Then the most important thing is the actors. Does Naoki-san have candidates?" Otomo Yoshimura recalled the plot and asked the key point. "There are quite a few actors this time."

"Hai, for one of the protagonists, I already have one!" His own cousin, right? "As for the other one, it hasn't been decided yet."

"Then... does Naoki-san plan to perform yourself?" Otomo Yoshimura asked.

Speaking of which, with Naoki Nagayama's fame today, performing in a movie would be quite a gimmick, and it would be very cost-effective.

"No, I won't perform~" Perform in a yakuza movie? Did this mean he had to confirm his yakuza bloodline?

"Regarding the other protagonist, I might hold another casting call?" Naoki Nagayama decided to follow the traditional casting method this time. "However, the various little brothers in the movie... already have very cheap extras!"

"That's good, then. Then I will start executing the preparation work for the movie filming!"

"Hai, sorry to trouble you, Otomo-san!"

Tree Friend Films decided to film a movie again after half a year. This was a big event for the company, whether it was notifying the media or preparing the filming location in advance, everything needed to be prepared early.

After agreeing with Otomo Yoshimura, Naoki Nagayama continued to the editing room.

Sure enough, only Masataka Komori was lonely doing the editing work.

"Masataka-kun, it's really hard work~"

Naoki Nagayama's voice startled Masataka Komori. The young man, who already had some stubble, stood up.

"Naoki-san, why did you come over?"

"Of course, I came to see you!"

Naoki Nagayama signaled him not to be nervous. He stood next to the work table and picked up the material on the table, finding that there was actually a videotape of the eighth episode of 'Cat's Eye Three Sisters', as well as many other materials.

"Actually finished filming the eighth episode?"

Masataka Komori sat down: "Yeah, because of your promise, Naoki-san, Shuichi-san and everyone in the crew accelerated their efficiency and completed a lot of filming in a short time!"

"Ha, they couldn't wait to go to Germany." Naoki Nagayama put down the material. "Actually left Masataka-kun to work hard alone. How is it, are you disappointed that they didn't take you to Germany?"

However, Masataka Komori smiled a bit embarrassedly at this time: "Daijobu, I volunteered to stay."

"Shuichi-san promised that at the end of the year, he would give me a long vacation and let me take my girlfriend on a honeymoon!"

Honeymoon?

Naoki Nagayama noticed the keyword and asked in surprise: "Is Masataka-kun actually getting married?!"

Masataka Komori felt a bit strange in his heart. Isn't it normal for a man to get married at twenty-three or twenty-four? Some people get married as soon as they leave campus.

The company had developed very well in the past two years, and he had saved a lot of money, so it was just right to get married to his girlfriend.

"Hai, I've been talking to my girlfriend for over two years, it's time." Masataka Komori added, "We decided to get married before the end of the year!"

"."

A while ago, his big brother just got married, and now his subordinate is also getting married. Why does it feel like everyone around him is getting married...

However, he still showed a boss's blessing: "I will definitely give Masataka-kun a big red envelope by then!"

"Hahaha, then thank you very much, Naoki-san!"

Masataka Komori's mood immediately became high, and he threw himself into work even more enthusiastically!

Naoki Nagayama continued: "Masataka-kun, next we are going to film 'Crows Zero'. The preparation work for the crew must be done in advance~"

"Hai!"

What is a capitalist who knows how to motivate employees! It's to draw a pie first, and then add a burden!

Naoki Nagayama, who stayed in the company for half a day, still left the studio in the afternoon.

After all, watching others working seriously while he was strolling around leisurely, even if he didn't care, other employees would have opinions.

Naoki Nagayama didn't rush home. His car was still parked in the parking garage of the Roppongi club~

He took the subway south. When he arrived in Minato Ward, it was exactly the hottest time of the day. Naoki Nagayama quickly found his convertible, but didn't drive back directly.

It was already this time, plus such hot weather, naturally he had to find a restaurant to eat first, and wait until the sun passed before talking.

Naoki Nagayama had seen in a magazine called 'Tokyo Gourmet' that near Akasaka, there was a very delicious beef rice bowl called Tsutsui.

The food critic above praised the beef set meal of this shop, calling it the most delicious beef rice bowl in Tokyo. Naoki Nagayama naturally had to try it!

Tsutsui was a restaurant specializing in creative Japanese-Western fusion cuisine, hidden in the culinary street of Akasaka. The simple facade made people think it was an ordinary residence, but after walking into the shop door, the exquisite courtyard-like decoration gave people a sense of high-end.

Recommended by the waiter, Naoki Nagayama ordered a signature staple food, Secret Sauce Black Wagyu Beef Bowl, and a cooler beef salad.

When the dishes were served, the beef marinated with secret sauce that was not revealed to outsiders was grilled until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting a thick aroma of meat.

After being sliced thinly, one could even see red fibers and oily fat intertwined.

Stack the beef slices on the rice, then sprinkle a layer of sauce and a piece of butter. After the butter slowly melted, you could start using chopsticks to stir, and then wrap the rice grains with beef and stuff them into your mouth together...

The tender texture of Wagyu beef mixed with distinct rice grains formed a layered texture; soy sauce, butter, mirin, and many seasonings mixed with the aroma of meat and rice, all jumping in the mouth~

As expected, it was a superb beef bowl with profound skill!

After eating the Wagyu beef bowl and then matching it with the cold beef salad, Naoki Nagayama felt that the whole person was in a state of satisfaction~

Naoki Nagayama, who returned to Shanying Yuan, had just gotten off the car when he found Eitaro running to his leg as if he had been wronged, rubbing and "ying ying ying" calling.

"What's wrong? Eitaro, did someone bully you?"

Naoki Nagayama squatted down and straightened the big dog's head. Sure enough, near the bridge of the nose, he saw a few thin scratch marks, and a faint red color could be seen in a few places.

"Was scratched by Miaotaro~ How did you provoke him again?"

Naoki Nagayama touched the dog's head and comforted him. In his mind, the scene of Eitaro stretching his head to provoke the orange cat had already appeared.

The big dog naturally wouldn't speak. He only wagged his tail to feel the comfort of his master.

Walking into the living room, Miaotaro was lying on the sofa very easily, as if he were the master of this house. Seeing Naoki Nagayama come in, he just called out lightly:

"Meow~" (You're back~)

Perhaps this momentum was too natural, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but reply: "Hai, I'm back~"

After saying that, Naoki Nagayama himself was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Haha, this feeling, it seems not bad~"

Saying that, he led Eitaro to the sofa, sat on the sofa himself, and picked up Miaotaro to face the big dog:

"Miaotaro, although Eitaro is larger in size, he is only two years old, still a child!"

"But Miaotaro, you are already a three-year-old adult!" Naoki Nagayama said words he didn't know the meaning of, and put Miaotaro's claws on the big dog's head,

"Take care of your younger brother in the future, you know you can't bully him! Even more so, you can't scratch him!"

Eitaro bared his mouth and smiled, and Miaotaro also retracted his claws~

Whether Miaotaro understood or not, Naoki Nagayama felt that he had done something a parent should do, and his heart was very happy.

After letting go of the orange cat, he turned his head and saw that the phone in the living room was flashing with a message prompt light. Someone had called.

"Naoki-san? This is Keiko Fujita!"

"I have already found some options for the property you wanted to find last time. See when it is convenient for you, I will introduce them to you, or I can take you to see them on the spot!"

"That's all~"

Is the courtyard in Kyoto settled? Or is the land next to Lake Toya settled?

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly dialed back, feeling that he was going to have another piece of real estate~

"Moshi moshi, this is Mitsui Real Estate!" The soft voice of Keiko Fujita came from the receiver.

"Keiko-san, this is Naoki Nagayama!"

"Ah, Naoki-san, you heard the message~" Hearing that it was her big client, Keiko Fujita's voice became even gentler. "I have already found two properties in Kyoto for you. However, there is no news about the land next to Lake Toya for the time being."

"Hmm, the land doesn't have to be urgent~" Naoki Nagayama was more concerned about the property. "The property in Kyoto, are you sure they are all old-style courtyards?"

"Hai, one of them seems to be the ancestral home of the nobility! It is relatively old. Because of debt, the last descendant can no longer afford the cost of repair and maintenance." Keiko Fujita said. "The other one is a newly built courtyard, but the owner wants to exchange it for liquidity to invest."

"Hmm, it doesn't matter if it's new or old. If I like it, I will definitely renovate it." Naoki Nagayama asked. "There shouldn't be any legacy problems, right?"

"Absolutely not!" Keiko Fujita said firmly. "The colleagues over there have already invited a Shinto priest to perform a ritual! If Naoki-san needs it, we can invite a few more!"

"." There is no such need.

My meaning is whether there are any legacy problems regarding property rights.

Keiko Fujita continued to ask: "Then does Naoki-san want to see the data first, or go to see it on the spot?"

"Kyoto?" Naoki Nagayama had been there to see the maple leaves, but the weather was so hot... "Keiko-san, please let me see the data first."

"Hai, then I will send it to Naoki-san tomorrow!"

Keiko Fujita's voice was full of excitement about seeing a handsome man, not to mention that this handsome man was still a star.

"Haha, okay, I will wait for you at Shanying Yuan tomorrow morning~"
