Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 821 829, just buy a big flat!
There was some drizzle in the sky above Narita Airport in the afternoon, and the runway also looked a little wet, but fortunately it did not affect the landing of the plane~
With a roar, the big plane slowly landed, hit the runway with a thud, then jumped up slightly and fell down again. This time it didn't jump up again~
The wheels made a harsh noise while rubbing against the runway, and the roar of the engine gradually disappeared in the warm rain, and the plane finally stopped at the parking position.

The first-class passengers left the plane first. After Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori came out of the VIP channel, they lowered their heads and hurried to the waiting van to avoid the paparazzi or stalkers waiting at the airport.
It wasn't until she got on the van that Akina Nakamori relaxed:

“Tokyo is so cold~”

This was the first sentence Akina said after returning to Tokyo.

The plane arrived at around 3pm. It was not an awkward time, and my body was not very tired. But it was not suitable to go to work immediately, and it seemed that it was not the right time to catch up on sleep.
"Naoki-san, we have to go back to Ken-on soon. Shall we take you back to Yamazakura-in first?" asked Ming Xingfang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, after putting away the luggage.

"Yamazakurain" Naoki Nagayama hesitated for a moment. He didn't know what the current situation of Yamazakurain was, but he nodded anyway, "Hi, sorry~"

"Dumb tape, just a side job~"

Ming Xingfang had to go to the office first to take the results of his work over and have them develop the photos before he could hold the publicity and promotion decision-making meeting.

Akina Nakamori next to her also added:
"It will be busy again starting tomorrow!"

Now that we are back in Tokyo, we have to start promoting the new album right away! The costumes, rehearsals, and stage design... all of these have to be decided by Akina. This is the pressure of comprehensive and in-depth promotion work.

But Naoki Nagayama laughed:
"Haha, Akina is at least three shades darker. The makeup artist must be under pressure!"

"Naoki-san!"

Akina Nakamori became embarrassed and annoyed, and started to use two fingers on her boyfriend's arm.

Her originally fair and smooth skin has now turned into a healthy light wheat color, and the lines of her facial features have become more obvious, making her look a lot more mature.

"Okay, okay, Akina is still very beautiful~"

To appease his somewhat irritable girlfriend, Naoki Nagayama spoke again: "Come to think of it, the jam we checked in won't arrive until the day after tomorrow~"

“So let’s give you other souvenirs first~”

When traveling to South America, of course they didn't just buy jam. Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori bought a large bag of other things, such as very distinctive small totems, feather products, and postcards of the local carnival.

Speaking of Carnival, the annual Carnival in Rio de Janeiro was so lively. I followed the samba parade, ate street food, drank cocktails, and was crowded with people laughing and dancing from time to time. The atmosphere was so exciting.
Of course, Naoki Nagayama fought off many third hands that reached out to him and saved his wallet.

"Naoki-san? Naoki-san?" Akina gently shook her boyfriend, "What are you thinking about? Are you distracted?"

"It reminds me of the carnival scene again." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "It's so gorgeous and lively~"

"Yes, it's more lively than the Kanda Festival in Tokyo," Akina Nakamori agreed. She was also very happy during the carnival.
"I'll go there when I have time later~"

"Mmmmm~"

They just came back, but they have already booked to travel abroad next time~
During the conversation, the bus arrived at the location of Yamazakurain, but after getting off the bus, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were a little surprised to see the moved gate.

“Has it been changed?”

“What a big change!”

The location of the main entrance has been changed, and the area surrounded by low bamboos has doubled in size. Naoki Nagayama is not even sure this is his home anymore.

However, after trying with the key, the iron door can still be opened.

The two of them dragged their suitcases into the Yamazakura Courtyard.
"The distance from the main entrance to the house is much longer," Naoki Nagayama said as he opened the door of the villa and compared it silently.

“It looks a lot emptier.”

Akina Nakamori looked to the side in the yard. The place where the fence used to be had now become a bare piece of land. It looked a bit muddy in the drizzle, and a few weeds had stubbornly poked their heads out.
A little further away, a three-story building stood empty, looking a little lonely.
The buildings in the center of Neon City were originally very close to each other, and now it looks like there is a large courtyard between the two buildings.

"It all depends on how to perfectly combine the two buildings~" Naoki Nagayama also looked at it from the side, then pulled the luggage in, "Let's ask Honma-san to bring the design over to us later!"

“Has it been designed?”

Akina Nakamori came over and asked.

"It's just a rough draft. Let's see if it suits our tastes~"

"Hi~"

Shuyou’s photography studio.

Yoshimura Otomo didn't know that Naoki Nagayama had returned. No, he knew that Naoki Nagayama was coming back today, but he didn't know when he would arrive in Tokyo~
But he didn't care much about it. Anyway, Naoki Nagayama would come to the studio after a good rest, so he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't bring him souvenirs!

"Otomo-san!" The office door was knocked open and Komori Masataka walked in. "I have prepared the list!"

"Ah, the list."

Yoshimura Otomo took over a document, which contained a list of employees who needed key training, compiled by Komori Masataka.

After Naoki Nagayama handed over the "important task" of cultivating reserve forces to Masataka Komori, he worked hard for a long time and finally came up with a "seed training plan."

After a period of detailed research, a group of young employees with potential and loyalty were selected and the list was handed over to Fangcun Dayou.

Yoshimura Otomo looked at the names carefully, and the faces of the relevant people appeared in his mind. After a long while, he said:
"Since Naoki-san has given you the responsibility, will you bring them directly into the existing project next?"

"No," said Masataka Komori, "The crew of "Love Century" has already been well-coordinated. Adding people randomly now will ruin the atmosphere of the crew."

"Then do you want to join Shuichi-san's "Squid Game"? It's just getting started there and the set has just begun construction." Yoshimura Otomo said.

“That’s too slow.”

"Squid Game" will not start filming until at least the second half of the year, and Masataka Komori can't wait that long.
"Otomo-san, don't we have another project planned for this year?"

"Our Little Sister?" Yoshimura Otomo asked in surprise. "According to Naoki-san, it took a whole year to capture the real scene of Kamakura!"

"Hey, I know!" Komori Masataka nodded, "But this is the pace, it's more convenient for me to train these seeds."

"Well"

Yoshimura Otomo pondered. During his previous conversation with Naoki Nagayama, he knew that Naoki didn't have any special ideas about "Our Little Sister". He thought that if there was really no other way, he could just shoot it. After all, he had the least time, so it didn't matter if he shot it for a whole year.

Now it seems possible that Masataka Komori will take over this project.
"Okay, I'll leave the project of Our Little Sister to you!" Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "But the four heroines of this movie, Naoki-san and I have already decided. Yuki-chan, Chikako-chan, and Kaoru-chan are confirmed. After that, we still need to consider whether it will be Kudo Shizuka or Miyazawa Rie. Masataka-kun can look for other supporting roles on his own."

"Hi!" Komori Masataka nodded. He took on this project to train the seed players and didn't care much about the actors. "Then I'll go prepare first!"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded: "Well, I'll ask Hayano Riko to find you!"

"Our Little Sister" has officially been approved for production, and a lot of things need to be prepared, including project approval, fund preparation, the establishment of the production committee, crew, publicity and promotion team, etc.

After Komori Masataka left, Yoshimura Otomo leaned back in his chair and stretched himself, thinking silently for a while before dialing the phone on the table:
"Riko-chan, come to the office~"

Around evening, Keiko Fujita and Naoya Sakata arrived at the gate of Yamazakurain together.

"Mr. Sakata, did you bring all the design drawings?" asked Keiko Fujita.

"Of course!" Naoya Sakata patted the blueprint in his hand, "I came a little too hastily, otherwise I could have brought the model with me!"

"Haha, let's see what Naoki-san has in mind first!"

As she said that, Keiko Fujita rang the doorbell. Although she had the key, she couldn't be so reckless now that the owner had returned.

The remote control opened the big iron gate, and when the two people walked to the western-style building, the door of the house also opened.

A very familiar-looking lady was standing at the entrance, welcoming the guests like a hostess:

"Please come in, please come over here!"

"Ms. Akina Nakamori."

Naoya Sakata greeted him nervously. He knew that Naoki Nagayama's girlfriend was Akina Nakamori, but this was the first time he met her.

Although Naoki Nagayama is also very famous, I knew Naoki Sakata before he became famous, so I don't have any feelings about him.

But Akina Nakamori is different, she is a real big star!
"You must be Mr. Naoya Sakata. Naoki-san praised you a lot." Akina Nakamori greeted Naoya Sakata generously and handed them slippers, like an ordinary housewife, "Keiko-san, please change into slippers~"

"Arigado~"

Keiko Fujita and Akina Nakamori had met before. After all, she often came to Yamazakurain to buy land for Naoki Nagayama.

After the two walked into the living room, they found Naoki Nagayama sitting on the sofa, seemingly looking at a stack of postcards.

"Keiko-san, Sakata-san, you're here~"

"Hi, I rushed here right after receiving a call from Naoki-san~" Keiko Fujita said with a smile, "Naoki-san, did you have a good time in Brazil this time?"

"Haha, of course, Rio de Janeiro is very welcoming!" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile while sharing his experience there. When he was happy, he gave the postcards and small souvenirs he brought to the two of them, "This is a souvenir! A small gift with local characteristics~"

"I don't feel comfortable doing this~" Keiko Fujita refused, but she didn't really mean to send it back.

However, Naoya Sakata was much more frank: "Thank you very much! I like it very much~"

As a designer, Naoya Sakata loves this kind of exotic culture, which can provide him with inspiration when designing.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while and drinking the hot tea served by Mingcai, the few people began to talk about the main topic of the day.

Three design blueprints were spread out on the dining table. Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori looked at the design results carefully together, while Naoya Sakata explained beside them.

"Because the two buildings are separate, if you want to connect the two main bodies, it is best to use a corridor and hide the garage in the wall~"

"If you want to separate them, the open space in the middle can be designed as a large garden"

"If Naoki-san wants to tear down the three-story building, he can completely rebuild it and connect it with the Yamazakura-in building to create a manor-like architectural style~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the three designs and felt that they all seemed very good.

"Akina, any ideas?"

"Hmm," Akina Nakamori thought for a moment, "I like the style of this manor, but I also want to build a pond in the yard~"

"A pond~" Naoki Nagayama nodded. A pond is a common sight in a Japanese garden, and there is a living pond in the park next to it.

There is a wall at the back of Yamazakurain, and beyond that are green belts and roads, so if the two buildings are slightly connected, a large courtyard can be formed at the front, and there will be no problem building a pond inside.

It's just a matter of style. Yamazakurain is a small Western-style building, while the three small buildings next to it are modern-style
"Naoki-san, we will renovate the three-story building to match the style of Yamazakurain!" Naoya Sakata promised, patting his chest, "It's like it was born with us!"

In this case, Naoki Nagayama has no doubts:

"Okay, then Sakata-san, please design another version according to your suggestion! If there are no problems, we will start the renovation!"

"Hi!"

At this moment, Keiko Fujita interrupted:
"Naoki-san, when the construction of Yamazakura-in starts, it will definitely not be suitable for living. Are you considering moving temporarily?"

"Ah, that's a problem." Naoki Nagayama reacted.

Akina Nakamori said, "Naoki-san, would you like to stay at my apartment for a while?"

The high-end apartment that Ken-on rented for Akina is still rented, and Akina's various clothes and other belongings are kept in it, and someone cleans it regularly.

"Hmm," Naoki Nagayama looked at the things in Yamazakurayuan and shook his head, "It's too small there."

"Where are we going?"

Naoki Nagayama reviewed his properties in Tokyo. The one in Waseda was already occupied by Tsuruko, the one in Bunkyo was also a small house, and the others seemed to be shops, all for commercial use.
The larger properties are in other cities, such as a courtyard in Kyoto, a vacation home in Lake Toya, etc.

There seems to be no place in Tokyo that can hold so many things.
After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Naoki Nagayama turned to Keiko Fujita:
"Keiko-san, it seems that there is no suitable one. Then please help me find a larger apartment, in the city center with convenient transportation. It would be even better if it is a top-floor apartment! A large flat with a view."

Keiko Fujita nodded subconsciously: "There are many penthouses for rent. It is very convenient to move in with just a bag."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"Keiko-san, we're not renting it, we're buying it. A penthouse is a rare asset, and it's a good investment."

“Eh?” “Eh hey hey?” “Buy it directly?!”

"Hey, Huizi-san, aren't you looking for a good real estate project for Shuyou Investment~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "This one will do~"

"." After a few breaths of mental preparation, Fujita Keiko regained her composure, "Hey, I understand! I will help Naoki-san find the penthouse as soon as possible!"

"Thank you!"

Naoya Sakata was stunned from the beginning. He didn't expect that during the conversation, Naoki Nagayama was going to buy a penthouse. Can such a large flat be bought casually? !
On the other side, Akina Nakamori was much calmer. She was used to her boyfriend's wealth. It was just buying an apartment. How much money could it cost?
After Keiko Fujita and Naoya Sakata left Yamazakurain, Naoya Sakata asked Keiko Fujita before getting in the car:

"Keiko-san, how much does a typical penthouse cost?"

"Generally speaking, it costs several million, and the good ones cost tens of millions~"

"Oh, that's okay~" Although it was still very expensive, Naoto Sakata could accept it.

“I’m talking about U.S. dollars.”

Keiko Fujita shook her hand, turned around and got into her car. With this order, she, Keiko Fujita, will definitely become a billionaire!!!
Naoya Sakata is like a goose in the drizzle~
Ten million US dollars is equivalent to 25 billion yen!
　I'm going out to play tomorrow. So I'll post it in advance. The update the day after tomorrow will be a little later~
