Chapter 8: Looking so handsome, how about taking photos... oh no, taking advertisements

On the way back, Naoki Nagayama was a bit proud and a bit surprised. Is changing the image so exaggerated? Is the attraction to the opposite sex so strong?

It couldn't be seen when meeting Mrs. Makino and Genta Nakai every day, but people who hadn't seen him for a period of time could discover Naoki Nagayama's huge changes.

The 18-year-old boy was in the most beautiful age of his life. Just relying on a bit of youthful spirit, he wouldn't be too ugly. Besides, Naoki Nagayama was quite handsome, and he had some muscles after fitness recently, plus the refreshing bangs and short hair, revealing the eyebrows that were originally covered...

Such a refreshing, handsome, and healthy big boy was completely different from the previously timid and wooden country boy.

The current Naoki Nagayama was the comfortable outfit of later generations, a brand new solid-colored T-shirt, denim jacket, black nine-point pants, newly bought sports shoes... Compared with the popular men's suits, trousers, and leather shoes in the Showa era, it could be said to be very trendy.

If you stroll around Shibuya, some scouts might even stuff business cards to you~

Unexpectedly, Keiko Fujita called early the next morning, and it was Saturday.

Heh~ woman, so diligent when facing a handsome guy.

Is the handsome guy me? Oh, then it's fine~~~

Agreed to meet Keiko Fujita at the intermediary company, and then drive to see a few housing sources.

Keiko Fujita was very capable in work. She found information on 6 housing sources in one day yesterday and had already obtained the corresponding keys.

This is not the 21st century, with swift internet. It is estimated that she spent the whole day yesterday calling to communicate and running to the corresponding branches to get the keys.

After meeting, Keiko Fujita was full of vitality: "Nagayama-san, you're here~ There are 6 housing sources to see today, I'll drive you to see them~"

... Even the address became intimate...

"Hai, today I'll trouble you, Fujita-san. Can Keiko Fujita actually drive?"

"Hai, daijobu, today just watch me!"

Then the two sat on an old Toyota sedan, still manual transmission...

Hey? Should I buy a car later?

However, there won't be much money left after buying the house. I have to wait for the royalties to come down before I can continue buying.

The factors for choosing a house in ancient and modern times are about the same. After determining the budget, the most important thing is Location! Location! Location! Other aspects of the house can be flexibly changed.

Among the housing sources Keiko Fujita found, 2 were in Nakano Ward, located in a residential area, ordinary 20 tsubo (about 66 square meters) apartment houses. The transportation was actually not particularly convenient. Naoki Nagayama didn't like it. Mainly because Nakano Ward was also a low-end residential area in the future, and the increase might not be as large as other wards.

The next 4 houses, 2 were in Shinjuku Ward, 1 in Setagaya Ward, and 1 in Koto Ward.

For the houses in Setagaya Ward and Koto Ward, Naoki Nagayama actually gave up silently in his heart. It might be good for self-living in the future, but with a budget of more than 10 million, he couldn't buy a very good house. Now it's better to have greater appreciation potential.

One of the housing sources in Shinjuku Ward was a single-family house, 10 tsubo (about 30 square meters), but it had 2 floors, which was more suitable for a family to live in; the other was an apartment house near Waseda, on the third floor, 20 tsubo (about 66 square meters), two bedrooms and one living room, which was more suitable for white-collar workers.

For Naoki Nagayama, a temporary transition, taking into account the sale in the future, the 3-story apartment was more agreeable. So he didn't drag his feet and said directly to Keiko Fujita:

"Fujita-san, I like this apartment very much, let's decide on this one."

"E=(′ο｀*))) sigh, don't you want to look at the other 2 housing sources? Maybe they are more agreeable, can you look again~" Staring at Naoki Nagayama with a pair of eyes, Keiko Fujita's words even had a coquettish taste...

Is it for looking at the house, or for continuing to look at me? The young girls in Tokyo are really...

"Hai, I have already selected this one, let's go pay the deposit!"... The deposit and contract were signed directly at the branch in Shinjuku, which was quite convenient, and by the way, he declined Keiko Fujita's lunch invitation.

Must finish quickly, the 18-year-old fresh meat is too covetable.

It was not yet noon. It was hard to go out, so of course, he had to stroll around. The commercial shops in Shinjuku were dazzling, but Naoki Nagayama, who had just determined to spend all his basic assets, had no desire to continue consuming for the time being. It was better to look at something interesting. Just in time for the weekend, the pedestrian paradise in Harajuku was open. He had heard Genta Nakai talk about the liveliness here, so he might as well take this opportunity to stroll around.

It only took ten minutes to take the train from Waseda to Harajuku. After walking out of the station, Naoki Nagayama bought a portion of octopus balls on the road and strolled while eating.

In the pedestrian paradise, one could occasionally see groups of people who were respectfully called "Takenoko-zoku" in strange clothes, dancing with cassette players in their hands. The red and purple clothes, with Chinese or Arabic styles, gathered together a bit like the carnivals and flash mobs of later generations.

However, if they were a bit older, it would also be quite like square dancing...

At the intersection, there were also some street performers. The performance level of some was quite good, and Naoki Nagayama also followed by putting down dozens of yuan in appreciation. However, there were also some playing heavy metal rock... simply a group of demons dancing.

The octopus balls in his hand had long been eliminated, and his stomach was not hungry for the time being. Naoki Nagayama was enjoying the performance of the pedestrian paradise while looking for a restaurant that caught his eye. Suddenly he received a flyer from a deer-headed puppet, a poster for a live house, and there was a band performance in the afternoon, which looked quite interesting~

Suddenly... eh? Why is there a Mediterranean uncle looking at me lecherously?

A scout is the entry-level of an entertainment manager, but it is also the front line that Tomo Yoshimura has long stayed away from.

Tomo Yoshimura, who was over 40, was already the planning director of a small agency. Although the agency was small, relying on some relationship with RB Dentsu, taking some marginal advertising business and releasing some photo magazines, it could be considered to be able to survive.

But today, he also had to return to the street to be a scout.

Because the old beverage enterprise Tomomasu Beverage launched a new green plum soda at the end of the year, the president secretly obtained an advertising business through personal relationships. Tomomasu Beverage is a big gold master, which is much more profitable than photo magazines that play edge balls!

Originally, everyone was very skilled in this kind of business. Find a beautiful little sister to shoot a picture of drinking soda, and then match it with the exclamation of "Wow~ so delicious...", and the picture came out.

But this time, it seems that in order to create differentiation at the end of the year, the entrusting party requested to find a refreshing male model... The entrusting party was not satisfied with several candidates under his name.

The male idols popular in the Showa era mainly showed the chivalrous spirit of men, and the lines were cold and hard. Of course, there were also refreshing types, but Tomo Yoshimura's small agency didn't have them.

I heard that there was an intention to change the cooperative party, which made the president so angry that he dropped a harsh word: "If you lose this order, Yoshimura-san's bonus this year will be contributed to the company!"

For these few days, in addition to mobilizing some relationships in the university, hoping to find suitable young people, Tomo Yoshimura was also looking for them in places where young people gathered, looking forward to encountering an eye-catching choice.

Why not look for resources in the industry? The advertising business competition is so fierce, and it is even more covetous for old enterprises. Revealing the news to the industry, isn't this equivalent to putting mutton into the mouths of tigers? Tomo Yoshimura didn't believe that the president's relationship could resist so many competitors in the industry...

"How come they are all monsters and ghosts..." Tomo Yoshimura, who had been searching in the pedestrian paradise for a whole morning, had only such an idea for these performing teams. "Has the era changed?"

The street performances ten years ago mainly relied on hard strength and singing voice, and dancing also relied on ability. If it really didn't work, they would perform some acting... Nowadays, performing groups are heavily made up, each more bizarre than the other, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, wishing to wear all the colors on their bodies, while the true self of the performer is covered tightly by cosmetics.

Tomo Yoshimura, who had been looking for a long time, was anxious, his eyes constantly looking at the various groups on the street. Suddenly, a touch of blue entered his eyes: blue denim jacket, white T-shirt, black nine-point pants, gray sports shoes, plus a handsome and quiet slightly thin face and simple 4-6 parted hair...

When Tomo Yoshimura saw Naoki Nagayama for the first time, what he thought in his brain was youth, sunshine, refreshing, gentle, vitality... like a clear spring washing away the impetuous atmosphere of the pedestrian paradise.

When Naoki Nagayama looked over, Tomo Yoshimura even had a heartbeat acceleration for a moment (laughs), "Terrible, it's him!"

Naoki Nagayama watched the Mediterranean uncle walk to him, first bowed: "Konichiwa, I am Tomo Yoshimura from Jingyi Agency!" Then handed over a business card.

"Konichiwa, I am Naoki Nagayama, may I ask what is the matter?" Naoki Nagayama, who took the business card, was confused.

"It's like this, Nagayama-kun, you look so handsome, have you considered taking photos?"

"Ha?" ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
