Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 783 Chapter 791, Sign, take the money, say thank you, and leave.
The rustling sound of snow falling on bamboo leaves continued all night, like the best lullaby~
Naoki Nagayama was awakened by a very bright light. The moment he opened his eyes, he thought the light was on in the bedroom.

There was no sunlight on that December morning, but the crystal snow surface was like a huge mirror, reflecting all the scattered light, making the light in the space more abundant than usual.

"Akina, wake up~"

As usual, Naoki Nagayama called his girlfriend. It seemed that girls were more sleepy, so Naoki Nagayama always woke up earlier.

"Naoki-san~ Sleep for another five minutes~"

There was a vague sound coming from the quilt. When sleeping in winter, I like to bury my face in the quilt~
After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to get up first. Don't worry about his girlfriend. Without the human heat pack next to her, Akina would wake up soon.

After washing up and breathing the fresh air in the yard, Naoki Nagayama felt himself refreshed.

The five-centimeter-thick snow covered the outside world with a pure white coat, making it look completely different from usual.

The bamboos outside the courtyard wall were weighed down by the accumulated snow, like an old man in thick cotton clothes, hunched over to greet the shrubs in new clothes; the cherry branches inside the courtyard wall were also covered with a layer of snow, like a middle-aged man in his prime, who looked much taller after putting on a silver windbreaker.

The originally white dry landscape was completely covered by a carpet of snow, but there were plum blossom-like marks scattered on it. Initaro enjoyed the morning snow scene earlier than Naoki Naoyama~
"Aren't you cold?" Naoki Nagayama scratched the head of the dog next to him. The Labrador's fur doesn't look thick, does it?
The dog was wagging its tail wildly, and even exhaling white air from its mouth:
"Woof woof woof! (Why are you cold? Come out and have fun!)"

He picked up a snowball and threw it out, causing Yingtaro to run around the yard excitedly, but he couldn't find the snowball that had merged with the snow, so he could only turn around and scream in confusion~
In return, Naoki Nagayama ruthlessly laughed at him.
After playing for a while, Naoki Nagayama walked into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.

Thick egg liquid with salt, chopped ham and chives is poured into the frying pan. With a sizzling sound, the aroma of eggs fills the kitchen.

When it is half solidified, roll it up from right to left and pour in egg liquid again. Repeat this three to five times.

The fragrant Japanese fried egg, no, thick omelette is ready~
Fry a few sausages and buttered bread slices, cut some lettuce and shredded carrots as side dishes, and finally add a cup of hot milk, and your simple yet rich mixed breakfast is ready.

"Naoki-san, oh~"

Attracted by the aroma, the girlfriend ran downstairs at the right time, kissed her boyfriend on the cheek, and then sat at the dining table happily to enjoy breakfast.

Naoki Nagayama suspected that she waited until breakfast was ready before coming down~
"What competition is Akina participating in today?" I asked while eating breakfast.

"All Japan Broadcasting Awards, and Japan Broadcasting Awards!"

Akina said vaguely that these two competitions were born rivals. Not only the announcement date, but also the award ceremony was chosen on the same day, creating a sense of irreconcilable conflict. Perhaps they have tasted the benefits of forming a CP.
"Is Akina going to participate?" Nagayama Naoki was curious, "Will she be able to make it in time?"

“As long as the previous award ceremony is over, we can rush to the next location immediately, and there will be no problem!”

Akina Nakamori said that it was naturally urgent to rush to the venue, but many celebrities might encounter this situation today. The two powerful organizers had already contacted the transportation department to create convenience for the artists who were rushing to the venue.
Although it is not as serious as traffic control, it is still possible for the traffic police to clear the way~
"Will it be late?"

"Well, there will be a celebration banquet tonight," said Akina Nakamori, "but we will have a day off tomorrow!"

Continuously attending various conferences and recordings is too much for even the strongest artists. In addition, Akina is now a shareholder, so the agency can't use her like a cow or a horse. After cutting down on many small announcements and activities, she can have at least one day off every two weeks.
"What are you going to cook today, Naoki-san?" Nakamori Akina had a good appetite. She had already finished her bread and other dishes and was enjoying the last of her thick omelette. She always saved the best bite for last. "It's going to snow today~"

"Me." Naoki Nagayama raised his eyebrows, "I'm going to give money to hundreds of people!"

"Eh?" Nakamori Akina responded, "Year-end bonus? Today?"

"Yes. I have already calculated it~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "The money is in the finance office. The security guard is on duty 24 hours a day. Otomo-san said that if we don't distribute it, it might be targeted by thieves~"

"Haha, how can a thief break into a safe!" She is not a child anymore, and she would never believe a big thief like Akina Nakamori.

"Maybe it's a ninja. I heard that it's still rumored in the mountains~"

"Is Naoki-san a child?!"

"I don't know who collected the shuriken."

"you"

The two of them bickered happily and had a very enjoyable breakfast.

When they were cleaning the dishes together, Naoki Nagayama said:
"Akina, let's go to Shizuoka together tomorrow~"

Akina Nakamori's hands paused, holding the rag and the dish stiffly, while the faucet was still running.
"Tomorrow?"

"Well, after all, tomorrow is probably the only free day before the end of the year~" Naoki Nagayama bumped his girlfriend with his shoulder, "I agreed to bring Akina back to see you before the end of the year~"

"Okay~" Akina Nakamori hesitated for a moment, then started to clean up the dishes again, as if nothing had changed, "I'm just going to meet Naoki-san's father and mother~"

"Is Akina nervous?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

"No! Aunt Nanako is not some terrible monster!" Akina Nakamori had a tight little face and looked calm.

"Then this dish has been washed three times!"

".No Lu Sai! I don't think it's okay if it's not cleaned!"

"."

On the way to the studio, Naoki Nagayama found that there were posters and advertisements of "Love Letter" along the way, and Akina's beautiful face could be seen everywhere~
When I passed by a record store, the gentle melody of "Snow Flowers" floated out and kept ringing in my ears all the way. Even the car radio was playing this song.

It's like a new movie coming out.
"Sugiyama Toshihiko and his team did a great job!" Nagayama Naoki said with satisfaction, "Except for the advertisement at the Grand Crossroads, the others are even more detailed than my previous promotions~"

When he arrived at the studio, Naoki Nagayama found that the parking lot was full of cars. Most of the employees had come today.

"Naoki-san, good morning!" Xing Jiahua's smile has never been so bright in this year!
"Good morning, Hana-chan~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I'm very happy today!"

"Hehe~"

"Pfft~" Suzuki Yukika next to him couldn't help but laugh~
Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama walked inside. On the way to the office, he heard constant greetings. Naoki Nagayama also saw people like Inada Masato and Komuro Tetsuya who were often not in the company.

"Should we hold a company annual meeting or something to let everyone get together?" The idea of ​​holding an annual meeting suddenly came to his mind, but he rejected this idea in the next moment.

This form only makes the superiors and the boss happy, ordinary employees definitely don't like it. It's better to just give them money.
"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san~" Nagayama Naoki greeted the two people in the office, "Did Shuichi-san take a break from filming today?"

"Just take the year-end bonus and leave!" Idou Shuichi's face became much rougher. The filming during this period must have been very exhausting. "It just so happens that the next scene will be in Izu Oshima."

“Is it okay even if it snows?”

"It didn't snow much in Izu, so it should have melted in the afternoon~" said Idou Shuichi. You know, there is an active volcano over there.
After chatting for a while, Mitsuren Kitamura from the Finance Office delivered this year's year-end bonuses in a cardboard box. They were all packed in separate brown envelopes with names written on them.

Now that there are so many people, it is no longer possible for Naoki Nagayama and his team to package it themselves~
"Naoki-san, Otomo-san, Shuichi-san." Kitamura Koren handed out forms to the three of them. "These three boxes contain employees from different business units. Please sign your names when you hand them out."

"Arigato, Guanglian-san has worked hard~" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "Then let's start with Guanglian-san! I'll look for him."

As he spoke, Naoki Nagayama found a thick envelope from the box in front of him, stood up and handed it to Kitamura Mitsuren with both hands:
"Guang Lian-san, please take it! I look forward to your guidance next year!"

"Naoki-san, thank you!" Kitamura Mitsuren signed first, then happily took the envelope and bowed again, "Please give me more guidance next year!"

According to the scoring system created by Fangcun Dayou, Shuyou’s year-end bonus is extremely generous. Even in non-business departments like theirs, there are many of them, which makes other companies jealous!

I sealed the envelope myself, so I naturally knew how much the amount was. But when I received it from Naoki-san, it finally truly belonged to me!

"Haha, after Guang Lian-san goes out, call in the next person, Tao Xi-chan~"

Just like that, the annual sharing of spoils, no, sharing of benefits among tree friends has officially begun!

Sign, take the money, say something nice, and leave
This is the basic process, but with hundreds of employees, plus key employees like Masataka Komori and Masatomi Inada, who need a little more encouragement, it takes a very long time.
In the morning, Naoki Nagayama's headquarters had distributed all the gifts, and Shuichi-san's film division had also distributed almost all of them.
"Naoki-san, please help me send the next one!" During the lunch break, Idou Shuichi said to Nagayama Naoki, "I sent the crew of "Midnight Ring 2" in advance, and I have to rush to Izu in the afternoon."

"Hey, leave it to me~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded without hesitation. After all, Xiuyi-san is working diligently! In the future, half of the money earned from the movie will be his.
After a short break, the distribution of year-end bonuses in the afternoon continued in an orderly manner.

Although this method of paying money in person seems inefficient, it is very beneficial to the cohesion of a private company and the authority of the boss.
For example, the year-end bonus in later generations is just a string of numbers, and some employees don’t even see the boss once a year. What’s the centripetal force? Who is the heart?

When the enterprise is large, the heads of each branch will adopt similar practices.
Always having to stand up and sit down again was a bit too much for someone of Yoshimura Otomo's age, so when it was time to deliver the message, he asked Naoki Nagayama to take over while he took a rest.

"Otomo-san, you need to exercise!" Nagayama Naoki shook his head. "How old are you? You can't do it?"

"This is already considered a squat!" Yoshimura Otomo said stubbornly, "Besides, the elderly can still go back to the battlefield after a halftime break!"

"."

Shaking his head, Naoki Nagayama looked at the next person.

"Eh? Has the idol artist arrived yet?"

"However, the few who have works have gone to the award ceremony, so most of the remaining ones are newcomers."

"Um"

The next person to come in was indeed the newcomer who had not been seen for a long time - Shizuka Kudo.

"Shizuka-chan" Nagayama Naoki stood up and saw that Shizuka Kudo still had short hair. He could not relate her to her future image. "Thank you for your hard work this year."

"Thank you!"

It was the first time for Kudo Shizuka to receive her year-end bonus. The moment she held the cowhide envelope, she felt her wrist sink. How many Prince Shotoku must this be? No, it should be Fukuzawa Yukichi now!!!

As a girl who just graduated from school to become an idol, she is already very satisfied with the huge salary increase after coming to Shuyou. Now this year-end bonus makes her even more glad that she came to this agency!

"The sales of this year's debut song are excellent, keep up the good work next year!" Naoki Nagayama encouraged with a smile.

“Hey, I’ll try harder!”

Even if it's just for a generous year-end bonus, you have to give it your all!

Just when the money distribution was about to end, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but say, "By the way, Shizuka-chan."

"Hi?"

"Starting next year, grow your hair long!" Naoyama Naoki said, "You are more suitable for long hair!"

"." Kudo Shizuka didn't know what to say for a moment. Does Naoki-san like girls with long hair?
Prompted by the envelope in his hand, he nodded and said, "Hey, I understand!"

After Kudo Shizuka walked out, Yoshimura Otomo asked curiously, "Naoki-san, do you have any plans for Shizuka-chan next year?"

He would never think that Naoki Nagayama was interested in this little girl. After spending a few years together, he already knew that Naoki Nagayama was a rare self-disciplined guy in the entertainment industry.

"Maybe." Naoki Nagayama hadn't decided yet and could only answer vaguely.

"Is that so?" Yoshimura Otomo nodded and didn't say much. He would know in the end anyway.

"Next."

The person who walked in was actually an elementary school student. No, he should be a junior high school student.

"Rie-chan" Naoki Nagayama was holding a slightly thin cowhide envelope in his hand, feeling a little weird. Was he employing child labor?

"Naoki-mulberry"

Miyazawa Rie bowed timidly. Although the older sisters outside said that Nagayama Naoki was very kind, she was still a little afraid.

"Hey, this is your year-end bonus!" Naoyama Naoki handed the envelope to the little girl, "After all, you came a little late, so this year's bonus is not much."

"No, no. It's already a lot!"

In the envelope in her hand, there was at least three months' salary for her.

"There will be more next year." Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Are you used to living in the staff apartment?"

"Hi, the seniors are all very caring towards me. Takeharu-san also told the management aunt." Miyazawa Rie whispered about the treatment in the "girls dormitory" of the Shuyou employee apartment.

This villa apartment located in Seyada is full of female idol artists from Shuyou. It has a dedicated management aunt and cooking aunt, and the comfort and confidentiality are very good.

"Then don't delay your schoolwork. You are still young, and learning is still very important."

"Hi!"

As usual, Naoki Nagayama gave a few words of encouragement before letting Miyazawa Rie leave.

After everyone left, Yoshimura Otomo said, "Rie-chan's mother has approached the agency several times before, wanting to advance Rie-chan's salary."

"Did you give it then?"

"According to the previous contract, in addition to the buyout fee, we paid Rie-chan's salary and dividends into a special account. Except for Rie-chan's tuition, pocket money and other personal expenses, the rest can only be used after she reaches adulthood." Yoshimura Otomo said, "After her mother found out that she couldn't move, she came to make trouble a few times. We gave her some money appropriately, but also warned her."

"Okay, let's just deal with it like this."

Naoki Nagayama nodded. After all, she is Miyazawa Rie's mother and their blood is inseparable. It is estimated that Miyazawa Rie will not be able to keep this year-end bonus.

The process of distributing year-end bonuses continued, and Naoki Nagayama was a little absent-minded.
The work with Shuyou is over, and he still has to go to Shuyou Capital, where there is a salary negotiation to be conducted on comp day!
Oh, and there are also discotheques and KTVs.
It seems like he will be busy until late today~
By the evening, Akina Nakamori had not returned yet.

Naoki Nagayama was calling his hometown from the living room:

"Mom, I will bring Akina Nakamori to my home in Shizuoka tomorrow."

"Is it that Akina Nakamori?!" The mother on the phone sounded a little nervous.

Naoki Nagayama was a little amused: "Who else could it be? Is mother nervous?"

"Isn't this someone I often see on TV? She's coming to my house all of a sudden," Nagayama Nanako said in a strange tone, "and she's my son's girlfriend. I'm sure I'll be a little nervous!"

"Haha, don't I often appear in newspapers and on TV~" Naoki Nagayama laughed.

"You are different! I have seen you everywhere since I was a child."

Nanako's mother said some lewd words, which made Naoki Nagayama unable to cope with it.

"Hey, hey, hey, I get it, I get it!"

"Mother, we will arrive in the morning and have lunch together at noon." Naoki Nagayama talked about tomorrow's schedule. "Because it's the end of the year, Akina is very busy, so she may not be able to have dinner. She has to go back to Tokyo early."

"Does father have time?"

"He'll be fine!" Nagayama Nanako immediately decided for Nagayama Ken, "Aoki is at the pub."

"That's good~"

"Um. Do you want to prepare any food?" Nagayama Nanako asked again, "Is seafood okay?"

"It's no problem. Mingcai isn't a picky eater."

Nanako Nagayama still asked a lot of questions nervously. Before the birth of the outlier Naoki Nagayama, the Nagayama family had always been an ordinary small merchant family, and a family on the lower class.

Even though Naoki Nagayama has made a lot of money in the past two years and has given a lot of subsidies to his family, they can still be considered an ordinary family.

They don't have the unspoken rule of looking down on artists in the entertainment industry. Being able to marry a big star is already beyond their original imagination.
