Chapter 743: I will give him a condition he cannot refuse!

The autumn wind is biting, the grass leaves are withered and yellow, and the dew is frozen into frost.

Unknowingly, November, known as "Shimotsuki," has arrived.

The Shimotsuki of a big city is not like the countryside where you can see all things wither; the concentration of popularity is too high, so even nature has to give some face.

The evergreen trees in the park are still lush and green, and there are maple leaves as red as fire...... the winter holly shrubs squeezed together under the trees, as the name suggests...... even the lawn of the public ball court has been replaced with cold-resistant Manila grass, which will not wither even in winter~

And chrysanthemums have ushered in the most glorious time of the year; imperial chrysanthemums, cosmos, pot marigolds, orchid pavilion chrysanthemums...... in every corner of Tokyo, every courtyard and park has begun to hold chrysanthemum exhibitions.

Even in the cold Shimotsuki, Tokyo is like spring and summer, with flowers blooming constantly.

Naoki Nagayama is leisurely taking care of a few pots of imperial chrysanthemums in the courtyard; they were sent to him by Aoyama Shin some time ago, and the old man Aoyama's small flower garden couldn't hold so many chrysanthemums.

The cherry blossoms that were originally blooming on the side have long withered, and even the leaves have fallen clean, leaving only bare branches in a withered and silent shape, cooperating with the wild grass withered and yellow at the roots, and the artistic conception of the dry landscape's annihilation.

However, Naoki Nagayama doesn't care about this atmosphere. He put the imperial chrysanthemums in the place with the best sunlight, letting them show their blooming vitality to their heart's content, but like a finishing touch, making the courtyard full of Zen.

"Really not bad~" Naoki Nagayama stood on the veranda and looked at his masterpiece, nodding repeatedly, "Eitaro, don't you think so?!"

"Wang wang!"

The silly dog naturally flattered his master without any integrity!

"Hmm, Eitaro is really good! Unlike Meitaro on the side, always looking down on people!" Naoki Nagayama touched the dog's head and looked at Meitaro with great disgust.

This orange cat is actually in heat in autumn..... it seems to have gone out to meet its lover privately last night, and it is listless this morning.

"Perform well, if you keep it up for a day....." The master drew a big cake for the dog very familiarly, "I'll give you extra food tonight!"

"Wang wang wang!"

Eitaro clearly understood, and his thick, short tail wagged.....

Just when the man and the dog were playing, the sound of footsteps came from upstairs and went all the way to the living room.

"Naoki-san~"

Akina Nakamori was putting on earrings while walking toward the entrance. Her jet-black hair was just combed casually, fluffy and smooth, draped over her shoulders and neck, setting off her small and fair cheeks, soft eyebrows, lively eyes, exquisite upturned nose, rosy lips.... the exquisite features were perfectly arranged on the painting-like outline, as if it were a masterpiece of heaven~

But at this time, she was like a late primary school student, saying in a flustered way:

"What should I do, I'm going to be late! Fusunori-san has already called to urge me!!!"

Since moving in to live with Naoki Nagayama, in many cases, Fusunori Akiko is not convenient to come over to pick her up directly, and Akina has started to drive herself more, so sometimes she has the problem of being late like a student party and office worker.

"....... Who told you to watch TV so late last night......"

Naoki Nagayama said helplessly. He persuaded her many times, but she insisted on finishing the late-night drama..... After living together, Naoki Nagayama discovered that his girlfriend had the bad habit of staying up late.

She said it was a habit formed when she debuted; the schedule was too busy, she came back very late every day, and her sleep was irregular; at worst, she would make up for sleep in the car the next day....

"Because only the time at night belongs to me!" Akina Nakamori said with a hard mouth while putting on shoes, "During the day, I have to rehearse, record, take photos......

The day is all work, and there is no time of my own at all. Only this little time at night belongs to me, so I don't want to end it so early!"

It sounds very reasonable......

Then why did she go to sleep early with him every time she stayed over before?!

Oh~ that was because she was greedy for my body!!! I didn't expect you, Akina, to be such a lewd woman!!!

"Naoki-san, I'm leaving!"

Akina Nakamori put on her shoes and said goodbye to Naoki Nagayama, who walked to the side, looking like a man who was about to go out to support the family saying goodbye to his wife at home...... only in this scene, the person at home earned dozens of times more money than the person going out......

"Chotto matte!" Naoki Nagayama handed a paper bag to Akina, "Breakfast."

"Ha, arigato!"

Akina took it happily, took the opportunity to offer a fragrant kiss on her boyfriend's face, and then ran to the garage in a hurry; her blue Porsche was parked inside.

"Lip balm....." Naoki Nagayama touched the wet trace on his face with some disgust, and then smelled a strawberry scent, "Still strawberry flavored...."

Looking at the little red mark on his fingertip, the man's gaze gradually became a bit perverted...... however, just hearing a slap, Naoki Nagayama slapped Eitaro on the head who didn't know when he ran to the side.....

"What kind of pervert would want to lick his girlfriend's lip balm!" Naoki Nagayama seemed to strengthen his confidence, "A real man should let Akina apply strawberry lip balm at night, and then kiss her directly!!!"

"Eitaro, did you hear that?! A person can't be so perverted!!! No extra food tonight!"

"......."Wang?! Wang wang wang! (Master, which one of us is the dog?! )"

The dog, who was slapped innocently and had his dinner deducted innocently, tucked his tail and ran away!

Naoki Nagayama, who threw the pot to the dog and returned to a normal man, also went out after fooling around in the Mountain Cherry Garden for a while!

In the cool autumn breeze, Naoki Nagayama, who insisted on not closing the convertible, arrived at the studio, and his hair had turned into the shape of a pompadour.....

"Naoki-san.... pfft hahaha~" Hana Hoshika at the front desk saw her boss's appearance and complained unceremoniously, "Did you change your hairstyle? Very trendy..... haha~"

Yukika Suzuki on the side also followed and covered her mouth to steal a laugh. After a long time of contact, she also knew that the head of Tree Friend was easygoing and got along with employees like friends.

This kind of teasing would definitely not make Naoki-san feel offended.

"Sigh..... freshly washed hair is really easy to deform~" Naoki Nagayama sighed, "Hana-chan, lend me your styling spray!"

"Eh.... what styling spray..... I just touch up my makeup in the company....."

Hana Hoshika said stutteringly. Her persona is a natural beauty, her hair is naturally curly, and she rarely wears makeup..... and she is not doing styling at any time; what does she need styling spray for, and it's still in the company!

"......." What kind of nonsense are you talking about! Isn't it in the third drawer?!" Naoki Nagayama directly poked this lie, "Lend it to me..... I'll return it to you immediately!"

"Naoki-san!!!" Hana Hoshika's eyes were full of shock, "You are monitoring me?!"

"Hana-chan, are you confused?" Naoki Nagayama took it out from the front desk drawer unceremoniously, "You take it out four or five times a day secretly and hide in the bathroom to organize your hair..... I've seen it several times!"

"...... Naoki-san, you saw it all?! Then others?"

Hana Hoshika couldn't believe it. Naoki Nagayama, who doesn't come to the company much, saw it, so it goes without saying for others!!!

Then when she boasted to her colleagues about how soft her hair was and how it could naturally curl to the most suitable bend without being taken care of, everyone's heart.......

She looked at her colleague Yukika Suzuki on the side, and this round-faced colleague also said embarrassedly:

"Hai! We all thought Hana-chan had some special difficulties..... so we didn't want to break this lie....."

"......."

Persona collapse + vanity persona..... Hana Hoshika felt that she had no face to continue in Tree Friend~

And Naoki Nagayama, who didn't realize that he had caused a small accident, walked directly to Tomo Yoshimura and his office after organizing his hair.

"Otomo-san~" Naoki Nagayama greeted the diligent headquarters manager.

"Ah.... Naoki-san is here~" Tomo Yoshimura nodded casually, not angry at all because his boss came to the company at almost ten o'clock, "So early today?"

"Hmm, I couldn't stay at home, so I came to the studio to see if anything happened....."

Naoki Nagayama flipped through the newspaper on the table. This was ordered by Tree Friend for the president, and it was very comprehensive, with some types that Naoki Nagayama didn't want to order himself.

For example, *Sankei Shimbun*, which had an article analyzing the phenomenon of the soaring stock price of Fujitsu General after the merger.

"Investment institutions are buying quietly? Suspect someone has already obtained inside information in advance?"

What is this doing, hinting at Tree Friend Capital? Naoki Nagayama curled his lips. Sure enough, after making a big profit, these capital hyenas surrounded him!

Wanting to take this piece of cake out of Tree Friend Capital's hands using groundless reasons and using the law before cashing out?

But you didn't expect that Tree Friend Capital does have inside information, but it's evidence that no one can find!

Naoki Nagayama put down the newspaper and didn't worry too much about this matter. Tree Friend Capital has Genta Nakai and five senior traders who will make this investment completely legal..... not to mention, they have now hired the oldest and largest law firm in Japan, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, to act as the agent for legal affairs.....

Want to attack me personally? Break through my elite legal team first!

And...... maybe he won't have to worry about Fujitsu General soon......

"Naoki-san?! Naoki-san?"

Tomo Yoshimura's call made Naoki Nagayama, who was daydreaming, wake up immediately.

"Ah? What did you say, Otomo-san?"

"I said..... the total box office of *Kikujiro's Summer* is almost 4.5 billion!" Tomo Yoshimura sighed. Naoki Nagayama's thinking is very active, and he will drift and daydream from time to time; this is already well known, "By the end of the year, it will exceed 6 billion!"

"Ah, this point..... I completely agree!" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "In three months, let Toshihiko Sugiyama run to the cinema again and let them extend the schedule....... maybe it will be higher."

"I have already asked Toshihiko Sugiyama to do it." Tomo Yoshimura nodded, "But I was talking about another aspect."

"?"

"Regarding the matter of rushing for awards!" Tomo Yoshimura reminded, "Naoki-san, have you contacted your friends in the film circle? Also, since you want to impact overseas, should you continue to remind Haruki Kadokawa?"

"Haruki-san?"

Naoki Nagayama touched his chin. Since the upgrade of the Tree Friend Group, his contact with Haruki Kadokawa has indeed decreased.

"Hmm, it really is time to talk to Haruki-san!" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "Trouble Otomo-san to help arrange it!"

"However..... Haruki-san seems to be a bit distant from Naoki-san...... regarding the Palme d'Or, he may not help!" Tomo Yoshimura nodded and reminded, "Naoki-san should be prepared."

Perhaps Haruki Kadokawa also has a small knot because of the share dilution...... after all, he does have some friendship with Tomo Yoshimura, but involving interests, he is the president of the Kadokawa Group after all.....

"Haha, it's all because of interests." Naoki Nagayama nodded, "But it doesn't matter, I will give him a condition he cannot refuse....."

Naoki Nagayama's eyes were full of confidence.

On the side of Nakamori's headquarters, Hanami Akira is meeting with someone in his office.

"Chairman Nozaki Toshio..... this is the condition proposed by Akina Nakamori." Hanami Akira handed the new contract with highlights to Nozaki Toshio and explained the terms in it.

"Regarding the part of increasing the basic salary and splits, although it is a bit excessive, based on Akina's current status, it can still be agreed to." Hanami Akira paused, "However, regarding the shares, I really can't make a decision."

"Oh~~"

Nozaki Toshio didn't look surprised as he flipped through the contract and said casually,

"Employees wanting to turn over and become bosses is something that companies often encounter."

After reading it roughly, he looked up at Hanami Akira: "Whether to give shares mainly depends on whether this employee has the ability to stand on their own, and whether we can leave this employee~"

"Then President Hanami..... do you think Akina-chan has the ability to be independent?"

"Hai, without a doubt, with Naoki Nagayama supporting her behind, she has it."

Hanami Akira said.

"Then, is she an employee that our Nakamori cannot leave?"

"......." Hanami Akira paused, "If Nakamori wants to catch up with other agencies, I think so!"

Nozaki Toshio nodded: "That's fine..... the matter of shares can be considered! However, there are conditions!"

"?"

"It's like a valuation adjustment mechanism. If Akina wants to get shares, she must have more achievements to prove that she is worth these shares!"

"???"

Nozaki Toshio said with a smile:

"That is to say, add terms to the contract. Under certain conditions, such as specific performance, awards, or the income earned accounts for a certain proportion of Nakamori, say 50%...... then we can give the shares to Akina Nakamori!"

"50%?" Hanami Akira thought for a while and was surprised to find that Akina Nakamori had already reached it!

"Nozaki-san, although this year's financial report hasn't been calculated yet, when the financial report is calculated early next year, Akina-chan's income should have exceeded 50% of the agency....."

"......." Nozaki Toshio was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hahaha~ sure enough, she is a cash cow!"

After pondering for a moment: "Then change it to 60%!"

Nakamori was originally just the music department of a yacht company. Being able to be independent and earn to the current level already made him overjoyed. As the biggest pillar of the agency, giving shares is not excessive.

After all, this is just a drop in the bucket under the Sasakawa Foundation~ ===== CHAPTER 744 =====
