Chapter 625: Don

"Manager!"

The high school girl stood in the rain, with what was unknown to be rain or tears flowing down her face. On such a rainy night, she could no longer hide the emotions in her heart, her tone soft but very firm.

"I like you!"

The manager played by Wu Fu panicked. He never expected that this Xiao Bi Lei Juan Xun, who was participating in acting for the first time, could burst out with such expressive acting skills.

Before, it was clearly all a feeling of a "three-no" girl!

The high school girl didn't intend to wait for the manager's reply. After saying this, she turned and left, as if she had come just to tell him this one thing.

And Manager Wu Fu, holding a transparent umbrella, couldn't say a word at this moment, and could only watch with wide eyes as the high school girl disappeared into the rainy night.

"Cut!!!" Yin Tangxiu shouted with an excited face.

Then he walked to the side of the two leads and couldn't stop praising: "Wu Fu-san, Xun-chan, this take is very good! Xun-chan's restrained explosion is very powerful!"

"Although Wu Fu-san omitted all the lines and expressions indicating surprise, this kind of surprise of being unable to speak fits the state of mind in the movie even better!"

Wu Fu, on the side, could only nod modestly. He couldn't say that he was surprised by the girl's sudden burst of acting skills and couldn't keep up for a moment...

In this day and age, it's really not easy to mix in the film circle. A girl with no experience at all can actually burst out with acting skills. Could it be because the role is particularly suitable?

On the other side, Xiao Bi Lei Juan Xun smiled and said: "I don't know what happened either..."

"Xun-chan, go change your clothes quickly." Yin Tangxiu didn't continue to investigate the reason, but instead began to arrange the next scene full of confidence. "This take was filmed very smoothly. You must also work hard for the dialogue in the car in the next scene!"

In the mini sedan, the two fell into a moment of silence, with only the neon lights flashing from time to time outside the misty car windows.

Although the manager was still a bit troubled, he still pretended to be calm and explained to the high school girl:

"I'm already forty-five years old, I could be your father! The age difference between us is too big, others will misunderstand if they see it... They will think you are doing compensated dating!"

"But I'm not doing compensated dating!!" The high school girl turned to the manager who was driving, her words shocking. "I just like the manager!!"

A burst of white light flashed in front of the car window, and the manager's facial expression suddenly became terrified. It was the oncoming car headlights... Because of the girl's confession again, a traffic accident almost occurred.

Outside the car being filmed, two rows of people were holding colorful hanging lights and flashing past from the outside. That was the neon lights outside the car window... Two smaller cameras were mounted on both sides of the car at specific angles to ensure that it wouldn't be exposed when filming one of the people.

That burst of white light was just a staff member holding an incandescent lamp and flashing it past, and there was also a speaker playing the sound of a car horn.

"Cut! This take is also fine!"

Yin Tangxiu also knew that the car didn't move while the background moved, and the final effect might be a bit fake, but the main elements of this scene were the lines of the manager and the high school girl, so it was acceptable to relax in other aspects.

"Next, we need to reshoot the car moving on the road, as well as the scene where it almost collides with the opposite car." Yin Tangxiu said to Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao. "But this only needs the car, and two veteran drivers."

"Hai, the truck is already ready." Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao said. "And there are very few people on this road at night, and there are no cars coming on this dead-end road, so we can just film here."

"Mm, since that's the case, let's hurry."

Yin Tangxiu looked at his watch. It was already past nine o'clock. Setting up and then filming... if it gets any later, maybe they won't get off work until the early morning.

Moving time forward a little, Naoki Nagayama and Akina, carrying big and small bags, returned to the Shan Shan Ying Yuan and were warmly welcomed by Eitaro and Miaotaro.

After all... the things bought back included fish and meat, and at this time, the two little ones hadn't had dinner yet, and their stomachs were just hungry.

"Hai hai! I'll give Eitaro a croquette when we eat later!"

Akina Nakamori pinched the dog's fleshy cheeks, pulling them into a "one" shape, with a bright smile on her face.

And the silly dog could only keep wagging its tail, begging for mercy from the owner of the magic claws on its face.

Miaotaro on the other side was very smart, constantly circling around Naoki Nagayama's feet, rubbing against the poop-scooper with his head, and constantly making "meow meow meow" sounds, simply more delicate and pretentious than a female cat...

"Sure enough, when a male cat gets flirtatious, there's nothing for a female cat to do~"

Naoki Nagayama sighed in his heart and continued his work. The beef filling needed to have the tendons removed, and the fish also needed to be filleted... Akina wanted to eat croquettes, and Naoki Nagayama also wanted to eat sauerkraut fish.

"Naoki-san, I'll help!"

After Akina played with the dog for a while, she washed her hands, put on an apron, and began to make dinner together.

The "sizzle" sound came from the hot oil. The beef patties changed color rapidly under high-temperature frying, and the aroma of meat and grease burst out together. The seductive aroma seemed to be urging the chef to eat this delicious food quickly... Eitaro next to the kitchen kept drooling.

And after waiting for a while, Naoki Nagayama also lifted the lid of the boiling soup pot. A rich sour fragrance rushed out. In the thick soup, black-purple sauerkraut floated up and down, and the milky-white fish fillets were delicate... making one's appetite increase greatly after smelling it, and wanting to taste it after seeing it.

Besides the two main dishes, simple pickles, plus fruits like apple slices and oranges were served. Originally, there should have been miso soup, but the young people of the new era decided to replace it with beer...

The dining table looked very sumptuous. Under the warm yellow light, the two opened beer and clinked glasses...

"Cheers!"

"Gulp~~" After taking a big gulp, "Ah~~"

Satisfied sighs, they looked at each other, and both laughed~

Naoki Nagayama first picked up a croquette made by Akina. The pure meat aroma and grease aroma, the fried outer shell was crispy while the inside was tender meat quality. Taking a bite, there was only one word... satisfied! This is the carnival of carnivores!

"So tender!"

Akina picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth, a satisfied expression appearing on her face. As her tongue moved, it was as if the fish meat melted. Under the foil of the sour taste, the fish meat was as fresh and tender as if it had just been cut.

"Oishii~~~"

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've had it too." Naoki Nagayama laughed.

Having played outside all day, both of them had consumed a lot of physical strength. Just when they were hungry, they encountered delicious food, and almost couldn't stop their chopsticks.

Slightly suppressing the signal from their stomachs, Naoki Nagayama and Akina began to eat slowly.

"It looks like this rain might last a long time. Akina, are you not going to film your location scenes at all?"

"This time it depends on the brand's arrangement."

Akina's filming this time was an endorsement advertisement for Kao shampoo. The brand wanted to reflect the healthy ingredients of green nature, so they wanted to film outdoors.

"If the brand changes the direction of the promotion, maybe they will change to a location to film, otherwise we still have to wait for the weather to clear..."

"The rainy season lasts until June."

Akina Nakamori picked up another piece of fish, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "There will always be a time when the weather clears~"

"Akina, regarding the previous planning for *Music Station*, we will really have to communicate with TV Asahi in about two days." Naoki Nagayama thought of the previous proposal. "If we really start production, have you considered coming to work part-time?"

"Honto?" Akina Nakamori stopped. "Is it really that easy to produce?"

This program could be said to have been planned by Naoki Nagayama and her together, so she was naturally very concerned about this program.

"I think there's no problem with the general direction, and the program is also very attractive." Naoki Nagayama said. "And TV Asahi's current music program viewership isn't very good. TV Asahi is a television station with history, and they are craving a program that can compete with TBS and Fuji TV."

"After that, we just need to communicate well with Tamori-san, and then I think this program will definitely be a long-running, excellent program."

Naoki Nagayama was full of confidence in this, as the memories of the future had already told him.

"How about it, if production really starts, do you want to take time to come work part-time?" Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend with a smile. "You can also come participate in the first episode!"

"This... depends on the agency's arrangement." Although she said so, Akina's small face clearly had the intention of being moved.

Just like that, the two chatted while eating until they had wiped out the carefully prepared dishes.

On the sofa in the living room, Akina learned from Naoki Nagayama, using Eitaro as a biological foot warmer, and then comfortably sank into the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea to relieve the greasiness, watching the program on TV, and occasionally making a comment or two.

The two leaning together looked like an old grandfather and grandmother.

"Ding-a-ling~"

Just at this time, the phone in the living room rang. Naoki Nagayama picked up the receiver.

"Moshi moshi, this is Shan Shan Ying Yuan~"

"Moshi moshi, this is Ming Xing Mingxing Fangze..." The phone call from Akina's manager came from the receiver. "Is Akina nearby? There is something that needs to be communicated with her."

Eh? The call for Akina was made to Shan Shan Ying Yuan. It looked like an urgent matter.

"Hai, she is~"

Naoki Nagayama handed the phone to Akina. After Akina took the receiver, visibly, Akina's complexion became bad.

After hanging up the phone, Naoki Nagayama found that Akina had fallen into silence, not even watching TV anymore.

"What's wrong?" Naoki Nagayama hugged his girlfriend. "Did Mingxing Fangze-san bring any bad news about work?"

"..." Akina Nakamori hesitated for a while, looked at her boyfriend's concerned eyes, and still said, "It's not about work..."

"Mm?" That was a private matter.

Naoki Nagayama hugged his girlfriend in his arms and said: "If Akina is willing, you can tell me about it."

Akina was silent for a while, and then said: "It seems that people in my family are privately misappropriating my money..."

Suddenly hearing Akina say such words, Naoki Nagayama was also a bit strange: "Why is this?"

"At the beginning of the year, in order to save taxes, the agency helped establish a shell company, 'Personal Agency Milky House'."

Since she had already said it, Akina didn't hide it, but directly narrated it.

Akina Nakamori's remuneration was already very high now. Unlike an agency like Johnny's, Burning only had Akina as a pillar, so they didn't dare to exploit her too much.

They had already distributed the record shares and other income to Akina, so they needed to establish a personal agency to avoid taxes.

"Affiliated under the old home in Kiyose, Mom is the chairperson, and other family members are directors..."

Akina Nakamori's brows furrowed.

"But recently, when I wanted to check the bills, I found that there were many strange expenses... so I asked Mingxing Fangze-san to help check... Just now he told me that family members are all receiving salaries from my personal agency..."

Thanks to Naoki Nagayama, his frequent financial management classes made Akina Nakamori have a concept of money. Although she didn't have the idea of buying land yet, she still cared about her financial situation.

That was why she discovered the operation that the agency also helped hide.

In fact, this could be seen as the Burning agency directly paying Akina's family... but it used Akina's income.

Naoki Nagayama hesitated: "Then since you already know, what does Akina plan to do?"

"..." Akina burrowed into her boyfriend's arms. "If I say it, then Mom will also be sad... Originally, being an idol was to subsidize the family..."

Listening to his girlfriend's rambling voice slowly turning into a sobbing tone, Naoki Nagayama also felt very distressed. When one's sincerity is betrayed by others, this kind of mental blow is very painful.

However, asking a girl under twenty to publicly fall out with her family, especially a girl who is very filial... this is very unrealistic.

After finally waiting for Akina to calm down, she looked at Naoki Nagayama with slightly red eyes: "Naoki-san, what should I do?"

"This..." Looking at his girlfriend, Naoki Nagayama decided to say it directly.

"Akina, agencies have many ways to bind artists, tough contracts, pressure of being banned, etc... And paying their family members is a soft method."

Akina's contract with Burning seemed to need to be re-signed. If Akina fell out with the agency at this time, then old-school agencies like Watanabe and Stardust would be very happy to accept a great general.

"Burning is to increase the connection with Akina..."

"I know that too, but if family members just take my money like this, I always feel that family members are acting like..." Akina Nakamori didn't want to say that word.

"Parasites? Vampires?" Naoki Nagayama said it, and then asked, "Akina actually has no opinion on subsidizing the family, right?"

"Hai..."

"Akina is angry because other family members are secretly taking money, right?"

"Mm~"

"Then there is a way..." Naoki Nagayama said. "Put all the money that was originally stolen by family members on the table, and give it all to Chieko-san!"

"Eh? Give it to Mom?"

"This way, the money given to the family can be made public." Naoki Nagayama said. "Anyway, subsidizing the family, if Chieko-san is allowed to distribute it, she should use it in a direction that makes the family better!"

"In this way, Akina's intention to subsidize the family can be reflected." Naoki Nagayama said. "Then hire an auditor for your personal agency to review the flow of funds, ensuring that no one can take money privately.

Put an end to family members taking money privately from Akina's side!"

Giving money to her mother to subsidize household expenses, Akina could still accept it.

What she was angry about was that her brothers and sisters were all stealing money from her, making it look like she had to support them.

Naoki Nagayama continued:

"Actually, it's best to spend the money, invest it in other places, and then this agency really becomes a shell company. Don't save money...

Then the agency can't do anything about it. Even if family members take money in the name of urgent use, they can be put off by saying the money is all in financial management..."

"Investment?" Akina Nakamori suddenly recalled her boyfriend's previous "course". "Does Naoki-san mean that I should buy more real estate?"

"A child who can be taught!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina's small face and felt that his previous training hadn't been in vain! ===== CHAPTER 626 =====
