Chapter 734

When the sky was bright, Red Fish Courtyard began to become lively.

It was already evening when they came yesterday, and they checked into the room, and then were busy eating dinner... Yasushi Akimoto and the others hadn't seriously appreciated this courtyard until the morning.

The morning sun sprinkled from the sky, first reaching the top of the small hillside, and then illuminating the entire Red Fish Courtyard inch by inch.

Akina Nakamori pulled Naoki Nagayama and ran towards the back mountain full of energy, climbing all the way from the small red torii Shinto to the family temple on the top.

"Didn't Naoki-san say he doesn't believe in religion?" Akina looked at the Buddha statue enshrined inside and felt a little strange. "Jizo Bodhisattva? Naoki-san, why enshrine this Bodhisattva?"

"Because... it's easy to invite a god but hard to send a god away..." Naoki Nagayama sighed. "And, after all, they were here first..."

This family temple enshrining the Jizo Buddha statue, I don't know which generation of the fallen noble invited it back, but it was definitely much earlier than when Naoki Nagayama bought it.

Buying this piece of land, there is no need to destroy other people's dwelling place~ Anyway, it is a righteous god, and being a neighbor is nothing~

Then Akina worshipped piously...

When coming down from the mountain, Yasushi Akimoto and the others were visiting in the courtyard.

The colorful koi in the pool around the main hall were very close to people. As long as someone walked by, they would come over to ask for food. Just take a little bread crumbs, and you can make them compete for it, splashing water everywhere.

The maple leaves that occasionally fell on both sides of the mountain stream floated in the water, occasionally overturned by the swimming koi. In the moment of turning, people couldn't tell which was the fish and which was the leaf~

Going further out, the plants in the courtyard were carefully designed, combined with the rugged rocks and rockeries, there was a feeling of Suzhou gardens where there is a scene in every step.

Walking into the courtyard and looking back, the three vermilion sleeping halls, hidden in the bamboo forest, facing the mountain and water, on the door of the main hall, a gilded plaque clearly wrote the small seal script of "Xiangrui Yumi"...

"Naoki-san, I think we should film in Red Fish Courtyard in the morning!" Yasushi Akimoto found Naoki Nagayama and said, "The scenery here is actually not much worse than Rurikoin."

"Is this okay?" Naoki Nagayama worried about the itinerary. "Will the recording be in time?"

"Daijobu! At worst, we won't go to that small attraction!"

Yasushi Akimoto shook his head indifferently. What do the audience love to watch in a romance variety show? Is it the scenery of the attractions? Then why don't you travel by yourself?

What the audience wants to see is the sweet love process between Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori!

And what could be more interesting than interacting in a private courtyard?

"Naoki-san, you and Akina-chan can play some small games... just like the kind of time-killing games when you are on vacation."

"Uh... is it the kind of small game that two people participate in together, combining entertainment and sports, which can be very intense or soothing, and is beneficial to physical and mental health?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"......."

Yasushi Akimoto showed a surprised look. Is it really okay? Naoki-san, you actually agreed? And Akina-chan agreed too?

"Ahem ahem... this doesn't seem to be broadcastable!" The chubby young man said stutteringly.

"What's unbroadcastable about Gomoku?!"

Naoki Nagayama turned out a Go board from under the table in the living room. Of course, he and Akina usually played the simpler Gomoku...

"If you think it's too low-end, I have Monopoly, Ludo, cards here..."

"......."

Yasushi Akimoto looked at the various board games that Naoki Nagayama turned out from under the table, his mouth twitched, and finally he could only say:

"Hehe... okay... record it~"

"It's Monday! The market is open!"

In the Ginza building, Nakai Genta's eyes were full of blood, and he rushed towards the work area, directly grabbing Nakayama Yukio who was on the phone, and asked rudely,

"How is it?!"

"It has already risen by 10%!" Nakayama Yukio said. "It is still maintaining a trend of rapid growth!"

Takeda Chizhang next to him still had an expression that was cold and wouldn't smile: "Starting this week, large capital should enter the market, the stock price will continue to soar, and then it will continue to cause retail investors to follow the investment."

"10%..." Nakai Genta breathed a sigh of relief. It was still far from the time.

He almost couldn't sleep this weekend, and his heart had been occupied by the stock of Fujitsu General.

"Genta-san, when should we sell?" Takeda Chizhang asked. Generally speaking, merger news will bring a daily limit, but there will also be a peak.

"Wait..." Nakai Genta kept Naoki Nagayama's words in mind. "Wait until the stock price rises seven times..."

"Seven times?"

"Yes, my... and Naoki-san's final expectation for Fujitsu General Air Conditioning's stock price is roughly this..."

"This..."

Except for Takeda Chizhang, the other three traders looked at their department head in surprise, feeling that he might be a little confused.

Looking at the Nihon stock market for so long, it's not that there are no stocks that have risen several times... But those are slowly rising over four or five years... And Fujitsu General, when listening to Naoki Nagayama and Nakai Genta before, it seemed that they were going to sell it at the end of the year?

Rising seven times in two months? Is this crazy?!

After Nakai Genta returned to the office, he found that his heartbeat could not go down.

"Naoki-san, where are you..." Nakai Genta muttered to himself, "Come back quickly!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't hold this splashing wealth alone!"

And at the headquarters of Fuji TV, in Takano Kazuki's office, Sugiura Tai was communicating with the department head about the recent situation of "Evening Meow".

"Department head, although I am very reluctant, the program 'Evening Meow' has reached its peak." Sugiura Tai said slowly, "Judging from the ratings, there is no room for growth."

"In other words, it's all downhill from here!" Takano Kazuki looked at the recent changes in ratings and also felt a little emotional. "It was you, Sugiura, who established this program, and it was indeed very glorious in the past year or so... But it's a pity, it's not a long-lived program!"

"Hi... it's really sad..."

"Then, how long is 'Evening Meow' expected to last?" Takano Kazuki asked when the ratings of this program would be low enough to have to stop broadcasting.

"At least half a year!" Sugiura Tai said, "If we work hard, maybe we can support it until the second half of next year."

But by that time, it would be meaningless to force the program to continue.

"Half a year..." Takano Kazuki put down the data sheet and looked at one of his direct subordinates. "Sugiura, you have to know that your current status was exceptionally promoted because of this program. If you lose this program, you later..."

Although there will be no demotion, Sugiura Tai's power in the TV station will naturally be much less.

"Department head, the program we are currently producing, I think it has the potential not to lose to 'Evening Meow'... And, love is an evergreen topic, and the program will also have strong vitality."

"Naoki Nagayama..."

Takano Kazuki remembered this radiant young man again. When he came to Fuji TV to talk about cooperation, he really appreciated him... It's a pity that he wanted too much.

"Sugiura, you have placed your bet on this love variety show!"

"Hi!"

"How is the program production going now?"

"It should be recording in Kyoto today..."

"Then work hard! If there is another high-quality program, your position will be stable."

Takano Kazuki said to Sugiura Tai,

"As for Naoki Nagayama, you should continue to maintain a good relationship. I remember he still has a five-year framework agreement with Fuji TV, right?"

"Yes! The variety show planned by Naoki-san at the beginning of this year is 'New Word Buzzword Awards', which has already gained a lot of fame..." Sugiura Tai reported to Takano Kazuki, "I heard that he is currently planning the summary activities at the end of the year, and I believe it will attract a lot of attention..."

"Yeah!" Takano Kazuki was quite concerned about this face-saving project. "Some heavyweight guests will be invited at the end of the year..."

"By the way, you reminded me, the planner Naoki Nagayama must come to participate!"

"That's as it should be~"

"Yeah yeah, not bad not bad, Sugiura, this matter is left to you!" Takano Kazuki said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah... yeah? Eh?"

I just agreed, why did I suddenly have an extra task?! Inviting Naoki Nagayama... Naoki-san's status is very difficult to invite, okay!

If it weren't for Akina Nakamori's reason, he definitely wouldn't be so easy to talk to this time!

Sugiura Tai, who came out of his superior's office, walked to the preparation room of "Evening Meow" with a heavy heart, which made Nishi Rumi very curious.

"Tai-san, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad?" Nishi Rumi seemed to be in a good mood today.

Sugiura Tai frowned and said: "Received a troublesome matter..."

"What can stump Tai-san?"

Sugiura Tai looked at Nishi Rumi, who was very curious, and a thought suddenly arose in his heart... It seems that Nishi Rumi was the one who took action to invite Naoki-san to participate in the love variety show before!

Naoki Nagayama is much gentler to girls than to men!

"Ahem, it's just that 'New Word Buzzword Awards' is going to do year-end activities, right!" Sugiura Tai's face returned to calm, and he said to Nishi Rumi, "The station's meaning is that they want to invite Naoki Nagayama to participate as a heavyweight guest. I think there should be no problem~"

"Ah, this! It should be very simple, right? 'New Word Buzzword Awards' was planned by Naoki-san!"

Nishi Rumi said comfortingly. She also knew that Naoki Nagayama was very difficult to invite now, but the group leader was in trouble, and she couldn't help but comfort him a little.

"Yeah, Nishi Rumi, you also think it's very easy, right!"

"Yeah yeah~"

"Then this task is left to you!" Sugiura Tai's expression was exactly the same as Department Head Takano's!

"Eh?!!!"

Watching Nishi Rumi's face start to change, a smile appeared on the corner of Sugiura Tai's mouth.

Sure enough, smiles don't disappear, they just transfer from one person's face to another's!

Naoki Nagayama was fishing with Akina in the pavilion in the middle of the pool.

"Naoki-san, you definitely can't catch fish with a straight hook!" Akina Nakamori kept looking at the pool next to her. "And you didn't put anything on the hook."

"Don't worry... these stupid fish won't care if there is anything on the hook. As long as it moves in the water, they will take a bite!" Naoki Nagayama pulled Akina to sit down. "Just watch!"

"......"

And right next to them, two cameras were filming this pair of silly lovers.

Katsuhisa Kitahara quietly said to Yasushi Akimoto next to him: "Akimoto-san, is it really necessary to record this segment? How could any fish take the bait?!"

"If someone else did this, I wouldn't believe it, but since it's Naoki-san, I think this kind of thing is not impossible..."

Yasushi Akimoto actually didn't believe it in his heart, but what are they recording now? It's the interaction between two people... Doing some silly things, isn't that what lovers should do?

Katsuhisa Kitahara still didn't believe it:

"Even if it's Naoki-san... that's impossible! He's not the legendary Jiang Taigong!"

"And even if it's Jiang Taigong, he's not fishing for fish, but King Wen of Zhou!"

Yasushi Akimoto swept a surprised glance at Katsuhisa Kitahara: "Kitahara-kun actually knows the story of Jiang Taigong fishing!"

"Of course, no matter what, I graduated from the Faculty of Letters at the University of Tokyo!" Katsuhisa Kitahara was slightly proud, and then continued, "Today Naoki-san will definitely not catch anything! Recording these all the time feels a bit silly..."

Just at this moment, Akina Nakamori suddenly exclaimed:

"Naoki-san, it took the bait! It took the bait! Pull the rod quickly!"

"Ha! Sure enough, there are stupid fish!"

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly pulled the rod, and a fat and sturdy koi was caught just like that!

Because his fishing line was tied to the middle of the straight hook, it was stuck horizontally in the fish's mouth after being swallowed by the carp, and it couldn't be spit out.

The fish was put on the open space of the pavilion, jumping around, and the people from the production team around were surprised and gathered around to watch.

Katsuhisa Kitahara next to him looked at this scene, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't speak for a long time.

Yasushi Akimoto moved a step and patted him on the shoulder...

"Kitahara-kun, you are still too young!"

Katsuhisa Kitahara was very ashamed: "Hi, I underestimated the people of the world! I didn't expect that there really is someone who can fish with a straight hook! I must reflect on it in the future!"

"Don't wait for the future... start reflecting now!" Yasushi Akimoto said.

"?"

"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and lift the camera over, film it!"

"Ah, hi!"

Katsuhisa Kitahara ran up carrying the camera...

And on one side of the pavilion, Akina Nakamori squatted next to the carp, watching Naoki Nagayama take the straight hook out of the fish's mouth.

Then she stretched out her index finger and poked the carp on the ground that had opened its eyes wide, and her eyes lit up:

"So fat... Naoki-san, are we going to eat it?! Boiled fish fillets?"

"......." Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend who revealed her foodie nature again, and couldn't help but laugh. "Akina, let this koi go... It's a feng shui fish... It's best not to eat it..."

"Feng shui fish?" Akina looked at the koi whose fish gills were opening and closing on the ground, and just asked suspiciously, "Is it delicious?"

".... This is not a question of whether it is delicious or not..."

"Then what is the question?"

"No one eats feng shui fish~"

"So, is it delicious or not?"

"....." Naoki Nagayama paused. "I haven't eaten it either..."

Seeing that Akina Nakamori was going to ask that question again, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly said: "Akina, let's go to a Chinese restaurant in Kyoto for lunch, just eat boiled fish fillets..."

"As for this fish, let it go for the sake of being raised at home!"

"...... Okay~"

Knowing that koi cannot be eaten, Akina didn't continue to play with this unlucky guy. She held this fat carp with both hands and threw it towards the pool...

Seeing the carp splash a large splash of water into the water, a happy smile appeared on her face~

Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend and found that Akina seemed to be getting more and more innocent during the few days of the journey... It was really releasing her nature!

Sure enough, it is two completely different states in private and on stage~

"Akimoto-san, we have filmed enough in Red Fish Courtyard, let's go have lunch!" Naoki Nagayama said to Yasushi Akimoto, "And then go to Rurikoin in the afternoon..."

"Yeah, it's time!" Yasushi Akimoto also agreed.

When leaving Red Fish Courtyard, the people from the production team all showed reluctance. Such a beautiful courtyard, they hadn't seen it all yet!

They only stayed for one night, they really wanted to stay here for a few more days!

"Naoki-san, let's come to Red Fish Courtyard for vacation again next year!" Akina Nakamori said while holding Naoki Nagayama's hand.

"Yeah, anytime is fine..." Naoki Nagayama said. "I'll give you the butler's phone number. You can come here and see it when you pass by Kyoto!"

Akina Nakamori didn't be polite with Naoki Nagayama either. Anyway, it was her boyfriend's house, she could come whenever she wanted!

"Arigato~"
