Chapter 489: What's with this lecherous look?

~13 min read 2,582 words

When taking a walk that night, Naoki Nagayama was a bit puzzled, because Yin Tangxiuyi mentioned the filming of *Love Letter* intentionally or unintentionally during the day, which made him very nervous and could only use full-force editing to numb himself.

However, thinking about it now, I always feel something is wrong...

He said to the big dog sniffing around in the grass next to him: "Eitaro, I always feel like I've been calculated!"

"Woof! (Yes)"

"You say, did I take this matter too seriously?" Naoki Nagayama chattered. "It's just filming a movie, I'm the company boss! And after the movie is released, isn't it creating profits for the company?"

"Even if there is a suspicion of dating Ming Cai by filming a movie... what's the big deal~"

"Woof woof woof woof (That's right, that's right!)"

After getting the approval of his own dog, Naoki Nagayama felt much more relaxed:

"Hmm, it's really not worth it to make myself too tired for this kind of thing! I'll go to edit a bit later tomorrow! Eitaro also thinks there's no problem, right?"

"Woof!"

The dog, which was originally happily turning around in the grass next to the sidewalk, was suddenly pulled by the dog leash and could only look at its master with a puzzled look.

From just now, he has been chattering and not knowing what he is saying, and he is also interpreting the meaning of this dog at will... Is his brain broken?

Once the mood is good, the angle of looking at things changes.

The zelkova trees on both sides of the road, which were originally dim and lonely, also looked a bit gentle under the warm yellow street lights. Under the disturbance of the night wind, the thin branches that had no leaves left seemed to be quietly waiting for the arrival of winter.

The grass where Eitaro was running around had mostly withered, and the crisp sound of *crunch crunch* when stepping on it was actually a bit stress-relieving.

The shops along the street emitted lights that were still considered bright, as if they wanted to entertain the sparse pedestrians well.

Breathing in the cool wind with autumn meaning, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that when the mood is relaxed, I can actually see such lonely scenery as full of positive energy..."

And the big dog on the side didn't listen to its master at all, just buried its head and pulled Naoki Nagayama forward.

Not long after, they actually arrived at the familiar Aoyama shop again.

"Old man Aoyama, haven't you closed the shop yet?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the small flower bed next to the entrance. The three pots of imperial chrysanthemums were blooming brightly, exactly the same as when he first met Aoyama Xin. "The imperial chrysanthemums at the entrance, are they the same few pots as before?"

"Of course! They are blooming very well, right!" Aoyama Xin walked out from behind the counter. "This year, I'm going to take them to participate in the competition again!"

"Ha, this time we'll definitely win an award!" Naoki Nagayama casually praised, then looked at the vigorous old man, "Old Man Aoyama, ever since Chika-chan debuted, do you feel it's been a lot quieter?"

"How can it be so exaggerated!" Aoyama Xin invited Naoki Nagayama to the tea seat in the shop. "Zhi Ke Zi still comes home to live at night, and I can see her every day!"

Ah, that's right. Qingshan Zhi Ke Zi has a home in the center of Tokyo, so the agency just needs to pick her up every day... There is no need to move into the idol's staff apartment at all~

"Hahaha, that's right." Naoki Nagayama answered with a smile. "However, there is no one to watch the shop for the old man from time to time~"

"At worst, close the shop when going out." Anyway, this is his own shop. It's normal for a craft shop not to open for half a year, and it's normal to eat for three years after opening.

While tasting high-quality tea, he chatted with Aoyama Xin about the development of Qingshan Zhi Ke Zi.

Upon learning that the sales of Qingshan Zhi Ke Zi's new song were very good and her popularity was constantly rising, Aoyama Xin had a smile on his face.

"In that case, will Zhi Ke Zi-jiang become an idol like Yamaguchi Momoe in the future?"

"Uh... old man, your goal is set too high!" Naoki Nagayama was speechless. To be like Yamaguchi Momoe, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable.

"Daijobu, I believe in Naoki-san!" The old guy Aoyama Xin looked at Naoki Nagayama with wisdom in his eyes...

Now, the pressure is on Naoki Nagayama~

"Hai, I have time!"

"Hmm, no problem!"

Naoki Nagayama, who returned to Shan Ying Yuan, received a call from Sen Chuan Bang Zhi from home. He had been very busy all day and actually forgot to return the call~

"Then Naoki-san, please come to Shogakukan tomorrow afternoon. Besides participating in the selection, the company wants to communicate about the film and television adaptation rights of several of your books." Sen Chuan Bang Zhi said this at the end.

"Film and television adaptation rights? Several books?" Naoki Nagayama was curious. "Taking down so many copyrights in one breath? Which one is it?"

"It's Toho." Sen Chuan Bang Zhi said directly.

"Ha, as expected of the wealthy Toho, to have so much money..."

Naoki Nagayama agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon, continued to chat about some things, and then hung up the phone.

Seeing that the time was not too late, Naoki Nagayama simply tried to dial Nakamori Akina's phone.

"Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi, this is the Nakamori house~" Sure enough, he heard the message prompt.

"Ming Cai~ it's me~" Naoki Nagayama said tentatively. "Are you still not back?"

Then he heard the sound of the phone being picked up:

"Naoki-san!"

"Sure enough, you are here!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "Didn't you train until midnight today?"

"How could it be until midnight every day, it's too inhumane!" Nakamori Akina said with disgust. "However, many year-end programs have already been recorded, and several large variety shows have entered the final recording stage, so there are much fewer places to rush work."

"Yes, it's already November." Naoki Nagayama sighed. "Another year is about to pass~"

"Why does Naoki-san's tone sound like an old man?" The tone on the other end of the phone carried a smile. "Clearly only twenty years old."

"I always feel that a lot of things happened this year." Naoki Nagayama talked to his girlfriend about the busy work. "It makes people have no rest at the end of the year... By the way, has Ming Cai watched *Twilight Meow Meow*? It was broadcast two days ago, and it's going to be recorded again..."

"Ah, yes!" Ming Cai said excitedly. "Specifically asked Fang Ze-san to record it and watch it! It is indeed very interesting... It's very different from the talent show I was in at that time."

"One is to select the best one, and the other is to select the one with characteristics." Naoki Nagayama summarized. "In short, idols in the future may become more and more civilian. The idol industry should also decline after reaching its peak~"

"... Naoki-san's words are scary! I've only been an idol for more than a year, and I'm going to be unemployed?" Nakamori Akina didn't have such keen perception and thought Naoki Nagayama was just saying it casually.

"Haha, anyway, Ming Cai should just be prepared to transition from an idol faction to a strength faction~"

"I was originally a strength faction!" A proud tone came from the receiver~

"Hai~ Ming Cai-sama is right!"

Starting from here, they chatted randomly and chatted until midnight. But they didn't set a time to meet, because the two would meet at the FNS Music Festival later.

The weather became colder after entering November. Naoki Nagayama saw white frost on the window.

He made a light porridge and side dishes unhurriedly in the morning. Waiting for the steaming white porridge to make the whole body warm, Naoki Nagayama then drove the Toyota Century to the studio. At this time, the convertible was a bit cold~

"Naoki-san, morning~" Xing Xing Jiahua at the front desk was still smiling.

"Hua-jiang, good morning!"

"Naoki-san, Xiu Yi-san has already asked three times!"

"... Uh... I see~"

After pushing open the office door, Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou opened his mouth with some surprise: "Naoki-san, why are you a bit late today?"

"Don't I usually come at this time~" Naoki Nagayama perfunctorily said. I am the boss, do I still need to look at attendance when I come?

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou was confused by this lazy attitude. Wasn't he very diligent yesterday? And he and Xiu Yi-san thought this diligent attitude would be maintained until the end of the year!

"However... isn't it... the editing room...?" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou stopped talking.

"Ah, editing work! Yesterday I already sorted out the content to be edited during this period, and then it's relatively boring repetitive work... so there's no need to come so early."

Anyway, it's just cutting, sticking, cutting, sticking. Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao and Yin Tangxiuyi are there!

Just at this time, Yin Tangxiuyi also pushed open the office door. After seeing Naoki Nagayama, his eyes lit up: "Naoki-san, you're here! Why are you a bit late today? It doesn't matter, let's start working immediately! There is still a big pile of content waiting!"

"Hmm, Xiu Yi-san doesn't need to worry, it will definitely catch up with the Christmas schedule." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile. "I'll tell Fangcun Dayou-san something first..."

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou didn't expect to suddenly pull himself in: "Nani?"

"It's about Qingshan Zhi Ke Zi." Naoki Nagayama took out a score from his pocket. This was taken from the small music library in the morning. "I thought about it, I still want to create momentum for her at the beginning of the year."

Being entrusted by someone's grandfather, he had to work hard anyway.

"Eh?" Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou took it and looked. "'Arigato (Thank you)', is it a new song?"

"Hai, this is a song just written, I think it has great potential for circulation."

Naoki Nagayama said with a bit of boasting. If he didn't do this, Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou would know that he still had quite a few songs stored,

"Fangcun Dayou-san, please give it to Xiao Shi-kun, and tell him that this song is suitable for an ethereal voice.

From now to the beginning of next year, there is less than two months, and Zhi Ke Zi-jiang still has enough time to practice this song."

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou was a bit speechless. He just let Xiao Shi Zhe Zai take over Qingshan Zhi Ke Zi's second album a few days ago, and today he sent the title song. Naoki-san, your action is a bit fast!

And when was it created? Why don't I know? Is it written in the notebook?! The psychological activity of the Mediterranean middle-aged man issued continuous questions.

"Hai, I understand, I will arrange for Zhi Ke Zi-jiang to practice as soon as possible." Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou had a serious expression on his face. "The second album will also let Xiao Shi-kun speed up the process."

Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Ha, please Fangcun Dayou-san."

Yin Tangxiuyi, who had been waiting for a while on the side, thought this was the only thing: "Naoki-san, finished? Shall we go to the editing room?"

"Ah, yes! There's nothing else for now."

Naoki Nagayama stood up, preparing to work seriously in the remaining hour or so, because he had... in the afternoon...

"By the way, Xiu Yi-san. I have something to deal with in the afternoon, so I might not be able to edit~"

Naoki Nagayama said while opening the door and walking out, walking toward the editing room. And Yin Tangxiuyi, who was about to follow, slowed down his pace after hearing this news, looking at Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou very puzzled, asking with his eyes:

"Didn't you say you could guarantee active work for a month? How come you returned to your original appearance after only one day?!"

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou also just knew: "Don't panic first, maybe it's really something today, let's talk about it later!"

"Xiu Yi-san, why didn't you come?"

Naoki Nagayama found that Yin Tangxiuyi didn't follow, and opened the door again, seeing the two looking at each other, eyebrows dancing and passionate,

"Eh? What kind of plane are you and Fangcun Dayou-san doing?"

"Hahaha, I thought something fell..." Yin Tangxiuyi hurriedly laughed and perfunctorily passed it, and continued to pull Naoki Nagayama toward the editing room.

Fang Cun Fangcun Dayou, who remained in the office, looked suspicious: "Naoki, this guy... did he notice something? Or is today's matter just a coincidence?"

Looking at the score in his hand again: "Can't this song be an excuse specifically found?"

An hour flashed by in the blink of an eye; without even bumming a lunch from the company, Naoki Nagayama went straight to the Shogakukan office building.

"Naoki-sensei?" Xi Yuan Guang Zi at the front desk had eyes shining. "Isn't Naoki-sensei scheduled to come in the afternoon?"

Naoki Nagayama-sensei, who has talent and is super handsome, is here! He is walking toward me! Sure enough, changing shifts with Ye Ze Ling Xi today was right!

"Ah, just happened to be nearby, so I came first." Can't say, don't want to continue working, "Bang Zhi-san is there, right?"

"So that's it." Xi Yuan Guang Zi seemed to believe it easily. "Naoki-sensei, Editor Sen Chuan is upstairs, I'll contact him now!"

Saying that, the little girl used the front desk phone to call Sen Chuan Bang Zhi and explained Naoki Nagayama's arrival.

"Naoki-sensei, please wait a moment, Editor Sen Chuan said he will be here soon."

"Hai, sorry for the trouble~"

"Where, where..."

Standing at the front desk for a few minutes, looking at the magazines on display, Naoki Nagayama felt a little uncomfortable, because Xi Yuan Guang Zi always looked at him with a look of worship and lecherousness.

It's nothing to be worshipped by a little girl, maybe it can increase a little vanity, but what's with this lecherous look?

Although Xi Yuan Guang Zi is not ugly, Naoki Nagayama is stared at by such a gaze that covets beauty, and always feels a bit dangerous!

This little girl won't pounce, right?

Fortunately, Sen Chuan Bang Zhi appeared in a few minutes: "Naoki-san, did you come so early?"

"Hai, because I was nearby..." Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to shake hands. "How have you been lately, Bang Zhi-san?"

"Hahaha, thanks to you, everything is fine!"

Sen Chuan Bang Zhi can be said to be radiant now. The author under his name won the Naoki Prize, not to mention that he was rewarded, and the president of Shogakukan praised him, and now he is going to sprint for the Yoshikawa Eiji Literary Award!

And there are merchants who want to buy adaptation rights!

Sen Chuan Bang Zhi said with a smile: "Naoki-san hasn't had lunch yet, right? Let's go out and talk while eating!"

"Ha, how can this be..."

Naoki Nagayama swore that this time, he really wasn't thinking about coming to bum a meal from the editors!
