Chapter 602
After returning home that evening, he was bombarded by a relentless series of calls from Nagayama Hezi. Naoki Nagayama considered not answering, but even if he didn't, that girl would use the recording function on her answering machine to let him hear her sharp-tongued remarks.
"So... did Nagayama Hezi finally agree in the end?"
"Baka-niichan, none of your business!"
Though she spoke fiercely, the momentum of her crusade suddenly shrank away~
"Haha, I was just saying, that guy named Jin Tian looks like an honest man; Nagayama Hezi won't be bullied if she marries him~" Honest men in this era hadn't been ruined yet.
"Baka! What nonsense are you spouting! Who wants to marry him!" Nagayama Hezi said fiercely, then let out a very indignant huff. "Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Listening to the busy signal on the receiver, Naoki Nagayama shook his head. From now on, Nagayama Hezi's tsundere personality would have to be endured by Jin Tian Dalu... How was it that he felt a bit sentimental thinking about this?
Ever since hearing Nagayama Hezi's voice, Wang Wang had run far away, only returning after the call ended.
"Wang Wang, Sister Nagayama Hezi won't bully you anymore; she has a new toy to bully now!"
"Woof woof woof!"
On the weekend, Naoki Nagayama didn't have much to do, so he accompanied his cousin to look at potential sites for a KTV.
"Naoki, what do you think of this place?!" Feng Yongshan said in a bookstore in Roppongi. "The location is so good; if we convert it into a KTV, we'll definitely have a constant stream of customers!"
This place was indeed quite good. It was a few hundred meters from the subway station, not too far, and there was an amusement center nearby. There were many people coming and going, and a lot of young people too.
However... right in the center of this bookstore, Naoki Nagayama's new book, *I'm Dating You Tomorrow and Yesterday*, was on display!
"Ms. Huizi, is this bookstore closing down?"
Naoki Nagayama asked Fujita Huizi, who had brought them to see the property. Yes, she was the senior real estate agent who was almost entirely supported by Tree Friend Capital, the kind who would come out to accompany clients even on weekends.
"Yes, this Oasis Bookstore is moving to Ueno. The rent in Roppongi is just too expensive; they're already operating at a loss."
Fujita Huizi had long since understood the situation with the land.
"The landlord has long wanted to sell this plot, but because of the lease with the bookstore, no one has been able to take it over..."
She rambled on for a while, but the general meaning was that they could just happen to buy the land along with it.
But... turning a bookstore into a KTV... it really was a disgrace to culture!
"Cousin Feng, it looks like there's no problem. Let's buy it and renovate it as soon as possible!" Naoki Nagayama said righteously. "The sooner we open the KTV, the sooner we can make money!"
"Haha, that's right. In the future, Melody KTV must open all over Japan!" Feng Yongshan laughed happily.
"Eh? Is it confirmed to be called Melody KTV? Have you called Grandfather yet?"
"..." This burly man didn't want to recall the memory of being scolded by his grandfather, so he changed the subject quite unnaturally. "Naoki, let's go look at the next place. There are five candidates to see today!"
"... Alright~"
This time, Fujita Huizi was still driving. On the way, Naoki Nagayama asked:
"Ms. Huizi, should have communicated with Mr. Genta Nakai, right?"
"Ah! Hai, I even went to Tree Friend Capital's office yesterday." Fujita Huizi said while driving. "I've already submitted all the more suitable plots I have on hand."
"About how many?"
"About a dozen~" the real estate agent said. "They are all in good locations, but they are large plots with warehouses or old buildings on them."
"Mr. Naoki... why buy land like this?" Feng Yongshan asked curiously.
"Just investing in real estate... Tokyo's land prices will definitely rise in the future!" Naoki Nagayama said. "We can also rent them out to make money."
"I see... then why doesn't Mr. Naoki use them to open a KTV?"
"I don't make money from KTVs!"
Naoki Nagayama's original intention was that opening a KTV to make money was both troublesome and tiring, but Feng Yongshan understood it as his cousin not wanting to steal business from the Yongshan Group.
Feng Yongshan was immediately moved: "Naoki! Arigato!"
"Eh?..."
"I will definitely run our family's KTV well and won't let your efforts go to waste!"
"..." Naoki Nagayama was a bit conflicted, but in the end, he still said, "Ganbatte!"
In this day and age, opportunities were everywhere. Just looking at the few plots Fujita Huizi led them to, one knew these were good assets, but they required a high entry threshold to cash in.
Feng Yongshan was very satisfied with what he saw. If all five plots were acquired, Melody KTV would take root in Roppongi, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ueno, and Akasaka in Tokyo. Occupying these places would be equivalent to covering the most prosperous areas of Tokyo's nightlife.
"We'll start with these for now!" Feng Yongshan said. "Ms. Huizi, you can notify the owners of these two properties to sign the contracts; we can trade directly. As for the other plots, we expect to buy them in the second half of the year!"
By then, not to mention the money the KTV would earn itself, the Yamaguchi-gumi in Shizuoka would also provide reinforcements!
"Hai! I'll go handle it right away!"
Fujita Huizi was beaming with joy. After all, these two plots fulfilled her performance targets for the first half of the year, and with the second half added, her year was complete again! Feng Yongshan had essentially covered her for the whole year!
Eh? How come it feels like these two years have been covered by people from the Yongshan family?!
Having traveled through most of Tokyo in one day, it was already dark when they returned to Shan Ying Yuan.
Wang Wang still ran over enthusiastically to welcome his master, but it seemed he smelled the scent of the packed dinner, as his tail wagged rapidly.
"Today it's roast duck!" Naoki Nagayama said. "It's said to be from a boss from BJ, authentic BJ roast duck! But if you pack it yourself, you have to slice the duck yourself!"
He turned his head and looked around: "Wang Wang, why don't I see Miao Miao?"
Not in the courtyard, not in the living room, and the cat tree he usually liked so much was also gone... A bad premonition arose in Naoki Nagayama's heart.
Miao Miao seemed to be in heat recently... He wouldn't have been lured away by some little female cat, would he! I heard that male cats are especially prone to getting lost during the mating season!
However, Miao Miao was usually semi-free-range and wasn't strictly locked in the house; he also had interactions with other stray cats that came by occasionally... He shouldn't have gotten lost, right!
"Forget it... maybe he went out to play!" Naoki Nagayama suppressed the worry in his heart and decided to wait and see.
In fact, he had long since hung a name tag on Miao Miao's neck, which had the address and phone number of Shan Ying Yuan, and added a sentence: if the cat is lost, contact for a 100,000 reward!
This price wasn't high, but it was enough to buy ten orange cats! It avoided harm and was attractive enough for ordinary people.
Just at this moment, he only heard a "meow," and an orange figure jumped down from the cherry tree, then ran leisurely onto the dining table. The cat sat and looked at Naoki Nagayama, its eyes seemingly questioning:
"Bipedal beast, why haven't you prepared dinner for me?"
Naoki Nagayama held the fat orange cat in his arms and stroked it fiercely, while secretly resolving in his heart, "To prevent you, Miao Miao, from being tricked away by a little female cat, next time I must cut off your balls!"
Using exquisite knife skills, he sliced the roast duck into a duck rack, and then shared the tender duck meat and crispy duck skin with the cat and dog... The shopkeeper said it was BJ roast duck, and it seemed he hadn't lied!
After dinner, sitting on the sofa, watching TBS's latest TV series *Please Don't Call Me a Delinquent Girl*, this kind of youth film was actually quite interesting, and Okada Nana, who had collaborated with Naoki Nagayama once, was also in it.
"Ding-a-ling~"
The phone next to the sofa suddenly rang.
"Moshi moshi, this is Shan Ying Yuan~" Naoki Nagayama picked it up and replied.
"Moshi moshi, this is Aomori International Hotel!" The voice in the receiver was very childish. "Akina is lost~ Can you help Akina find her family?"
"..."
His little girlfriend had started using a fake voice to tease people again~ Naoki Nagayama naturally had to cooperate tactfully:
"Since that's the situation, then I suggest Akina-chan can call 110 to report it first, and let the police help~"
"But... those people in uniforms are so scary, Akina doesn't want to find them..." Inside the receiver, she sounded like a real child, pitifully.
"What should I do~ Akina can't find her home, she can only wander the streets alone... When hungry, she can only find a trash can to find some unwanted noodles to satisfy her hunger; when cold, she can only find newspapers to cover herself for warmth... Pfft... Haha~"
By the end, Akina couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mr. Naoki, why are you so unsympathetic! Akina-chan is going to sleep on the street!"
"..." Naoki Nagayama was speechless. "Then please, Akina, go pick Akina up!"
"Hahaha~"
The little girlfriend on the other side seemed to be laughing very happily. Are women in love really negative in IQ?...
"Akina's activities in Aomori are over?" Naoki Nagayama asked the main point.
"Hai, the programs that needed to be recorded were mostly finished yesterday, and today I took some photos... Then I participated in the Hirosaki Castle Cherry Blossom Festival!" Akina said excitedly on the other end of the phone. "The cherry blossoms in Tokyo in April must have almost withered, but the cherry blossoms at Hirosaki Castle are still in full bloom!"
Something about how there were 2,600 cherry trees planted in Hirosaki Park, the oldest Somei Yoshino cherry trees, and beautiful scenery like a cherry blossom tunnel inside. The Cherry Blossom Festival activities were also very exciting, and there were all kinds of delicious snacks, etc...
Naoki Nagayama listened to his girlfriend's sharing while asking about some details from time to time, highlighting the importance of emotional value!
When she finally finished talking, Akina asked: "What has Mr. Naoki been doing these days?"
"Ah... I participated in the Waseda University Cherry Blossom Festival activity yesterday; it was as lively as a temple fair!"
"Oh? Anything exciting?"
"Exciting things..." Naoki Nagayama pondered for a moment. "That would probably be, Nagayama Hezi was confessed to in public!!!"
"!!! Nani?!"
Akina and Nagayama Hezi didn't have much contact, but loving the house and its crow, she was also very concerned about her boyfriend's only younger sister. She had long known she was at Waseda University, but to be confessed to in public?!
This news immediately aroused Akina's gossip desire! In the following time, Akina asked about every detail of the process, as if she wished she had been there at the time.
By the time Naoki Nagayama finally appeased Akina's curiosity, it was already early morning~
Miao Miao and Wang Wang had both fallen asleep near the sofa...
The next day, the energetic Naoki Nagayama won the competition against Wang Wang's biological clock. In the morning, he pinned down the licking dog that was preparing to wash its master's face with its tongue!
"Wang Wang! How many times have I told you! You can't be a licking dog! You can't be a licking dog!"
He educated the dog while putting on his clothes, but looking at the guy's excited appearance, it was clear he hadn't listened.
"If you continue like this, watch out, one day I'll cut off your balls too!"
In the end, Naoki Nagayama could only leave this threat.
Washing up, walking the dog, eating breakfast... It wasn't until around nine o'clock that Naoki Nagayama drove out and arrived at the Honma Design Office.
Inside the small office, Feng Yongshan had already entered. Through the transparent display window, one could see a burly figure talking to the petite girl next to him. The little girl looked terrified. If someone who didn't know the truth saw this, they might even think this girl was being threatened by some bad guy!
Naoki Nagayama hurried in: "Cousin Feng, you're already here~"
"Ah, Naoki, you're here~" Feng Yongshan spoke in a pedantic way today for some reason, which made people uncomfortable. "Ms. Ishida Kokai is explaining a few different design styles to me~"
Only then did Naoki Nagayama greet the little girl who was blocked behind Feng Yongshan: "Kokai-chan, morning~"
"Mr. Naoki, morning~" Ishida Kokai walked out from the side. She was naturally a shy person; the last time Naoki Nagayama came to the office, she only showed her face at the end. "Mr. Honma has been in Kyoto for the past two days, and Senior Naoya Sakata is on a business trip, so I'm the only one in the office today."
"..."
Little girl, you are such a weak and beautiful girl, telling two adult strong men so openly that today, in this office, you are the only one...
Isn't this saying that no matter what we do, no one will come to save you?!
If this were in some strange worldview like a Galgame, a girl like you might have been first XX then XX then XXX then XXXX today, okay!
Hearing Ishida Kokai's words, Feng Yongshan hurriedly said: "But Ms. Ishida Kokai's explanation is also very detailed. I think with Ms. Ishida Kokai here, there won't be any problems."
"Oh?" Naoki Nagayama looked at his cousin with a strange gaze. How come he's so warm today?
"Ahem~" A strong body couldn't block a probing gaze. Feng Yongshan hurriedly turned around. "Ms. Ishida Kokai, please continue your explanation! I think this European style is also quite good!"
"Hai! This is a style designed based on a salon, using white and warm colors as the main body, giving people a warm and reassuring atmosphere..."
Ishida Kokai pointed to the models of different styles in the office and explained. These were all different KTV design templates that Mr. Honma, Senior Sakata, and herself had brainstormed together some time ago.
This time, it was to let Feng Yongshan choose a style suitable for the new store.
Watching the bear-like body slightly bent, listening to the petite Ishida Kokai's explanation, his head nodding constantly, and the smile on his face never disappearing... Naoki Nagayama, who was behind him, confirmed that his cousin's heart had definitely been moved!
Why is this? Why are so many people having their hearts moved recently? Clearly, spring is already passing!
Could it be because Nagayama Hezi was confessed to, so it stimulated Cousin Feng's yearning for love?
Wait, speaking of which, has Cousin Feng ever been in love when he was back home? Why does he look like a lecher?!
No way, no way, as the third generation of the Yongshan Group, he actually has no love experience?!
That's not right, wasn't he having a great time with the young ladies in the club?!
"Naoki, I think these design styles are all quite good. Which one do you think is better?" Just as Naoki Nagayama was distracted, Cousin Feng turned his head and asked.
"This..." Naoki Nagayama quickly glanced at these models. "As for the style, it needs to be adjusted according to the target population of the KTV. Unlike the young people in Harajuku, most of the people who come to Roppongi to enjoy nightlife are wealthy adults... For them, we need to reflect the luxury and high-end nature of the KTV..."
After hearing this, Ishida Kokai asked with some confusion: "Does Mr. Naoki mean that these designs are not suitable?"
"No... it's not that they aren't suitable," Naoki Nagayama said. "The important thing is to emphasize the noble status of the people who come here..."
"Then how should we emphasize it?" Two pairs of eyes looked over.
"That is, using gilding, gold plating, gold inlay, sterling silver... and crystal chandeliers, marble, etc.," Naoki Nagayama said. "In short, we want to make the guests feel dazzled as soon as they walk in!"
After hearing this, Feng Yongshan said blankly, "Why does it sound like the style of a nouveau riche?"
"..." To be honest, it really is about the same...
However, in this impetuous era, this style is indeed very popular! People who come to Roppongi nightclubs, besides having fun, actually have a great psychological need, which is to show off that they have money!
Naoki Nagayama ignored his cousin and looked at Ishida Kokai: "Kokai-chan, how to combine the nouveau riche style with a sense of style to form that kind of low-key luxury, will depend on your design office!"
"By the way, if you want to refer to something, you can go and take a look at those top-tier clubs!"
Ishida Kokai was startled: "Top-tier clubs? That must be very expensive, right? It seems they are still membership-based?"
"As for this..."
Naoki Nagayama originally wanted to say that he could introduce them, but seeing his cousin next to him, his heart moved.
"Regarding these, Cousin Feng seems to know a lot. He has connections in many membership-based clubs... It just so happens that it's Cousin Feng's KTV, so Kokai-chan can consult him more!"
Feng Yongshan was stunned, then immediately reacted and secretly gave Naoki a thumbs up (Good brother!):
"Hai, if you want to ask about top-tier clubs in Tokyo, you must come to me! I've been to every one of them and can take you in! Ms. Kokai, if you want to go anytime, just tell me!"
He looked very generous~
After *Crows Zero* was released last year, Cousin Feng was indeed very addicted to nightclubs and clubs, and as a rising star in the entertainment industry, there were many channels to enter these top-tier clubs.
"Ah... hai, arigato... Mr. Yongshan~" Ishida Kokai thanked him with some embarrassment.
"..."
Naoki Nagayama wanted to cover his eyes. How could this cousin say that?
Didn't you see that the little girl is a good girl? You tell her you are a regular at top-tier clubs?!
Sure enough, Ishida Kokai didn't continue to ask, but instead turned around:
"Mr. Naoki, regarding the vacation home at Lake Toya, I've taken some photos of the latest progress. Why don't you come and take a look!"
Saying that, she went to the inner room to get the photos~
"Wow, Naoki, when did you get a vacation home at Lake Toya?" Feng Yongshan seemed not to feel that anything was wrong.
"... Bought it last year~" Naoki Nagayama sighed.
Forget it, as for the fate between Cousin Feng and Ishida Kokai, let's see for themselves!
Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact in the future!
