Chapter 830: Can you do whatever you want just because you paid overtime pay?!

The construction of Shan Ying Yuan cannot be seen from the outside.

The transplanted bamboo has expanded a circle, surrounding the original courtyard and the land next to it, growing lush and green, without letting in a single gap.

After Naoki Nagayama drove into the construction site, he found that it had almost changed inside. The foundation between the two houses had been laid, and the original three-story building had even had its top floor demolished. On the side of Shan Ying Yuan, the garage had also been demolished, but the original two-story building of Shan Ying Yuan had not yet started construction.

"Naoki-san?" Naoya Sakata, who was supervising the work, saw Naoki Nagayama's car and quickly walked over, "Is there something you need to get?"

"Not really." Naoki Nagayama walked around the construction site, "Just passing by, wanted to come and take a look."

"Ah, I see~"

Naoya Sakata didn't ask much. The employer spent money, so it's normal to come and take a look!

"What stage is it at now?"

"Currently, the foundation of the middle building has been laid, and the wooden beams and load-bearing columns will all be transported tomorrow...... Once the entire frame is built, we can break a hole in the side wall of Shan Ying Yuan."

Connecting that side with the middle building, integrating the three buildings into a whole.

"By that time, the entire project will be half finished."

"The action is still quite fast~" Naoki Nagayama was quite satisfied. When the company moves to the new home, he can also move into the new Shan Ying Yuan.

"You go get busy first, I'll go take a look at the old house~"

"Hai!"

Sending Naoya Sakata away, Naoki Nagayama walked into the small Western-style building. The somewhat empty dining and living room was still in the familiar style. The sofa that hadn't been used for many days was covered with a white dust cover, and so was the TV.....

Passing through the living room and opening the glass partition door, he saw the somewhat decadent courtyard.

Scattered petals lay on the ground under the tree, the rockery in the courtyard, and the white stones of the dry landscape, a thin layer, soaked by rain, dried by the sun and moon, the original pink-white petals turned yellow and black, like a layer of decaying carpet.

However, the cherry blossom tree next to it grew unusually vigorously, and the dense leaves almost covered half of the courtyard, blocking the setting sun.

"How come you started growing wantonly when no one lived in the courtyard...."

Naoki Nagayama reached out and grabbed a branch that reached down, talking to himself,

"Is it because you saw no one, so you started to reveal your true nature?"

"Let me tell you, I'll move back in a month or so, you better watch the house well, do you know?!"

A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves of the cherry tree swayed left and right, rustling, as if shaking its head in denial, or nodding in promise, or simply happy that the owner of the courtyard was back.

Not minding the dust, Naoki Nagayama sat down on the eaves corridor, his lower legs swinging in the air, his hands leaning diagonally behind him, but his eyes looked over the wall at the sunset in the sky......

The gorgeous sunset glow rendered the sky into a golden-red canvas. The invisible wind was the paintbrush, pushing the clouds into various shapes, sometimes like mountains and rivers, sometimes like animals, sometimes like human figures..... drifting indefinitely~

"Sigh~" Naoki Nagayama sighed contentedly, "Haven't been this leisurely for a long time~"

Lazy cancer struck. If the floor of the eaves corridor wasn't too dirty, he would have wanted to lie down directly......

"Naoki-san? Naoki-san?"

When the sun set and the light was too dark to see, Naoki Nagayama heard Naoya Sakata's call.

"I'm here~"

Naoya Sakata walked through the living room. Seeing Naoki Nagayama sitting on the ground, although he was a bit surprised, he didn't comment much:

"Naoki-san, it's dark, and the workers are all going to get off work~"

"Ah, indeed..... didn't pay attention and stayed for so long."

Naoki Nagayama stood up, patted his butt, and walked out,

"I should go back too!"

"Hai."

After the convertible car drove away, the foreman who was locking the door asked Naoya Sakata:

"Sakata-san...... what was Naoki Nagayama doing in the courtyard just now? It's been almost an hour...."

"Watching..... the scenery?" Naoya Sakata was a bit uncertain, "Seems like he was just sitting on the eaves corridor...."

"This?"

The foreman didn't understand. Are rich people or celebrities like this?

"Is it Naoki Nagayama's weird habit?"

Naoya Sakata waved his hand impatiently: "How would I know? People like Naoki-san who do creative work have brains that are different from ordinary people!"

"......."

The foreman locked the door silently, but in his heart he was thinking,

"Next time, should I go sit on the eaves corridor too? A place Naoki Nagayama likes must have some deep meaning. Maybe I'll think of some good money-making idea after sitting for a while!"

"Hmm, that's it!"

"I'm back!"

"Welcome back!"

Naoki Nagayama, who returned to the Takanawa 80 Building, just happened to catch Akina making dinner.

"Akina, don't you need to go to rehearsal today?" He remembered today should be the rehearsal day for "Yoru-hit."

"There is no announcement for me in this issue of 'Yoru-hit'." Akina Nakamori wore an apron and a headscarf, looking like a very virtuous housewife, answering while putting potatoes into the soup pot, "Eating curry potatoes today!"

"Hmm, it smells very fragrant!" Naoki Nagayama changed his clothes, walked into the kitchen and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"No need! It'll be ready soon!" Akina Nakamori pushed Naoki Nagayama out of the kitchen area, "Naoki-san just needs to sit honestly and wait for dinner!"

"Oh~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't refuse either, but sat on a chair, stroking Eitaro's head, and chatted about today's events by the way.

"I went to take a look at Shan Ying Yuan before coming back..... the foundation of the middle house has been laid..... the Western-style house of Shan Ying Yuan is also about to start construction~"

"Eh~~~ the speed is not slow~" Akina Nakamori sighed while adding seasoning, "When?"

"Hmm, just in June, Tree Friend is also moving!"

"Double happiness?"

"Hmm~"

The two talked slowly about the interesting things of the day, and then Akina Nakamori served a little curry on a small plate and sent it over, letting Naoki Nagayama taste the flavor, as harmonious as an old couple.

When the fragrance drifted away, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori ate dinner together at the dining table.

"Naoki-san, the agency wants to make the song you sent yesterday into a separate record for sale!" Akina Nakamori brought up the previous decision, "Packaged as a special project for the cherry blossom season....."

"That's great..... However, is there enough time? Aren't you preparing a new song?"

"There is enough time, it's very fast."

Akina Nakamori was full of confidence, saying she would go record the song tomorrow and then immediately take the cover photo.

"Then when it's sold, give me a signed collector's edition!" Naoki Nagayama said.

"If Naoki-san wants to listen, just listen to me sing it directly~"

Akina Nakamori blinked her big eyes, as if she was flirting......

"What if Akina is not around when I want to listen?"

"Can call!"

"...... What if you are performing?"

"No 'what if'!"

"Haha~"

Like childish questions and answers, both couldn't help laughing, and the warm yellow light seemed to agree as well~

Early the next morning, Naoki Nagayama went directly to the studio to take a look at the new headquarters with Yoshimura Otomo.

However, before leaving, Yoshimura Otomo took out a simple promotional plan......

"Naoki-san, this is a promotional draft prepared by the distribution section according to your opinion yesterday."

"I said it yesterday, and it was taken out early this morning?" Naoki Nagayama was extremely surprised, "What kind of efficiency is this...."

"I said I wanted to see it as soon as possible, Sugiyama-san and Watanabe-kun just worked overtime for a while," Yoshimura Otomo seemed not to care about the small matter of working overtime, "Anyway, the workload of the distribution section is not saturated recently...."

"......."

Hearing the words "workload is not saturated" again, Naoki Nagayama felt the memory of a corporate slave attack again, and only felt a chill on his back........ because usually after this kind of comment, it is followed by "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" "optimization and layoffs".....

In the end, the remaining employees started to roll crazily, 996 became 007.....

"Otomo-san...... you have to treat employees as members of humanity! If you always work overtime for free, even if everyone doesn't say it, they will be dissatisfied in their hearts!"

The remaining conscience made Naoki Nagayama somewhat unbearable, and even somewhat empathetic, so he persuaded earnestly,

"After all, everyone is the same, working a job is just to make a living, there is no need to be too harsh and squeeze..... In our Tree Friend Group, employees must love each other!"

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's statement, it was as if he was squeezing free labor himself, Yoshimura Otomo looked over in surprise:

"Naoki-san, we gave overtime pay!!! Double!!!"

Can you do whatever you want just because you paid overtime pay?! Naoki Nagayama was angry and got angry!

"Oh, then it's fine......"

Naoki Nagayama opened the plan directly and looked at it.

This simple promotional plan described the movie, although it had words like breakthrough, bloody zombie, horror factory, one-shot, etc., the feeling it gave people was still a bit flat.

"Otomo-san, call them over..... I'll talk to them face to face~"

"Hmm, they are waiting outside."

Yoshimura Otomo snapped his fingers handsomely, and saw the office door open, and Sugiyama Yoshihiko and Watanabe Eiichiro, who had bloodshot eyes, walked in.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san......"

"......."

Although he wanted to complain that Yoshimura Otomo's handsome behavior was unnecessary, but...... it was indeed a bit handsome! It had that feeling of smashing a cup and five hundred ax-wielding men rushing in.....

"Ahem..." Naoki Nagayama said to the two, "Sugiyama-san, Watanabe-kun, I called you over for this plan."

"Hai!" X2

"The promotion inside indeed has amazing vocabulary, but your courage is a bit too small." Naoki Nagayama said, "Just use words like 'real bloody scene' 'violent zombie killing' 'live broadcast' 'combination of horror and comedy' 'no urine points throughout'!"

"Uh......" Sugiyama Yoshihiko, the section chief of the distribution section, was older and more stable, "Naoki-san, isn't this too exaggerated..... it's completely different from the script!"

In fact, judging from the first half of the script, it was completely a crudely made zombie short film!

"Gimmick, what we want is a gimmick!" Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder, "There is also Naoki Nagayama's Waterloo, the biggest failure in life...... born as a human, Naoki Nagayama is very sorry...... Sugiyama-san, you guys should think more about how to use these exaggerated words, only then can you attract the audience's attention!"

"........"

As the section chief of the distribution section, I have to be taught movie promotion by Naoki-san, I am also very sorry!

Yoshimura Otomo watched the interaction between several people and didn't say a word..... Naoki Nagayama's advanced promotional strategy could indeed shock people.

When "Don't Stop the Camera!" is released this time, there will definitely be a good show to watch!

After expressing his opinions, Naoki Nagayama and Yoshimura Otomo came to the address of the new headquarters in Ikebukuro...... The office building that looked very solid had no renovation appearance at all.

After the two walked in, they found that it was completely different from a few months ago.

The floors that were originally divided into small companies became a unified large open space, and different work areas were allocated according to different types of work.

The partition of the office desk was ten centimeters higher than the desktop, only as a sign to distinguish the work station, and did not affect the communication between employees.

Green plants were also planted, and there were other auxiliary landscape decorations.....

"Naoki-san, our office is on the top floor....." Yoshimura Otomo led Naoki Nagayama toward the elevator, "Our offices are next door."

"Hai!"

There were four rooms on the top floor, three of which were offices, and one was a medium-sized conference room, used for high-level meetings or receiving guests.

Naoki Nagayama walked into his office and indeed saw a super-large solid wood desk and other bookcases, sofas, coffee tables, etc. The scenery of the floor-to-ceiling window could directly see the scenery of Ikebukuro.

It was the same style as the boss's office in TV dramas or the office of the number one person in government agencies.

"How is it, is Naoki-san satisfied?" Yoshimura Otomo walked over after looking at his office, "Naoki-san is in the corner suite, the scenery seen is more beautiful."

"Sigh.... a bit of a pity, I won't come often, it's a pity that this office is empty~" Naoki Nagayama patted the solid wood desk and sighed.

"This is the standard a president should have! No matter if you use it or not, the standard must be there!"

Yoshimura Otomo said seriously,

"If the president's office is too small, how can the department heads use large offices? How can the section chiefs use independent offices? How can the directors have separate work stations?"

"......."

"I originally felt that the hierarchy of Tree Friend Group was not so obvious...." Naoki Nagayama was surprised. He had always practiced flat management, and there were not many management chains.

"Naoki-san..... indeed, due to your personal style, employees felt much more equal when communicating..... However, after the company is big, such management is necessary...... there must be a clear division of responsibility at work!"

Yoshimura Otomo explained,

"Otherwise, it will become a mob!"

As a genuine Showa person, Yoshimura Otomo still agreed with the company's hierarchy. In the environment of lifetime employment, doing one's duty is the most important thing!

Naoki Nagayama couldn't oppose Yoshimura Otomo's words. After all, he almost always managed it, and he must have his own ideas about how to manage employees........ However, modern memories also let him know that such a hierarchy would limit the vitality of the company.

"Okay~"

He silently decided in his heart that no matter what, the company's management chain could not be too long. If high-level executives at Naoki Nagayama's level could not contact ordinary employees at all, it would be too rigid~ As for the others, he had to recall the future modern company structure and plan it properly~ ===== CHAPTER 831 =====
