Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 849 857, Can you do whatever you want after paying overtime? !

The construction of Yamazakurain Temple is not visible from the outside.

The transplanted bamboos expanded in a circle, surrounding the original yard and the land next to it. They grew lush and leafy, leaving no space at all.

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

"Naoki-san?" Naoya Sakata, who was supervising, saw Naoki Nagayama's car and hurried over. "Is there anything you want to take?"

"Not really." Naoki Nagayama walked around the construction site, "I just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a look."

"Ah, that's it~"

Nao Sakata didn't ask any further questions. The employer had already spent the money, so it was normal for him to come and take a look!
"What's the extent of it now?"

"The foundation of the building in the middle has been laid, and the wooden beams and columns will be transported here tomorrow. Once all the frames are built, we can almost make a hole in the side wall of Yamazakurayuan."

It connects to the building in the middle from that side, integrating the three buildings into a whole.

“By that time, the entire project is considered halfway done.”

"You're pretty quick~" Naoki Nagayama was quite satisfied. When the company moved to a new location, he could also move into the new Yamazakura-in.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go check out the old house~"

"Hi!"

After sending Sakata Naoya away, Naoki Nagayama walked into the small western-style building. The slightly empty dining and living room was still in the familiar style. The sofa that had not been used for many days was covered with a white dust cover, and the TV was also
Walk through the living room and open the glass door, and you will see the somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

The scattered petals were spread on the land under the tree, the rockery in the yard, and the white stones of the dry landscape, forming a thin layer. After being soaked by rain and exposed to the sun and moon, the originally pink and white petals turned yellow and black, like a layer of rotten carpet.

However, the cherry tree next to it was growing exceptionally strong, with dense leaves almost covering half of the yard and blocking out the setting sun.

"Why do you seem to be growing wildly when no one lives in the yard?"

Naoki Naoyama reached out and reached for a branch that was sticking out, and said to himself,
"Did you start to reveal your true nature when you saw that there was no one around?"

"I'm telling you, I'll be moving back in a month or so, so you have to take good care of the house, okay?!"

A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves of the cherry tree swayed left and right, rustling, as if shaking their heads in denial, nodding in agreement, or simply happy that the owner of the yard had returned.

Not minding the dust, Naoki Nagayama sat down on the veranda, his legs dangling in the air, his hands leaning on his back, his eyes looking over the fence at the sunset in the sky.
The gorgeous glow of the sunset paints the sky into a golden-red canvas. The invisible wind is the paintbrush, pushing the clouds into various shapes, sometimes like mountains, sometimes like animals, and sometimes like human figures. Drifting~
"Ah~" Naoki Nagayama sighed contentedly, "I haven't been so leisurely for a long time~"

I am so lazy that if the floor of the veranda wasn't too dirty, I would just lie down.
"Naoki-san? Naoki-san?"

When the sun set and the light became too dim to see anything, Naoki Nagayama heard Naoya Sakata calling out.

"I'm here~"

Naoya Sakata walked through the living room and saw Naoki Nagayama sitting on the floor. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't comment much:
"Naoki-san, it's getting dark, and the workers are about to get off work~"

"Ah, indeed. I haven't noticed it for so long."

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

"I should go back too!"

"Hi."

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

"What was Sakata Kuwanaga and Naoki Yama in the yard just now? It's been almost an hour."

"Looking at the scenery?" Sakata Naoya was a little uncertain, "It seems like he was just sitting on the porch."

"this?"

The foreman was a little confused. Are all rich people or celebrities like this?

"Is this Naoki Nagayama's quirk?"

Naoya Sakata waved his hand impatiently: "How should I know? A creative person like Naoki-san has a different brain than ordinary people!"

"."

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

"Next time, how about I sit on the porch? A place that Naoki Nagayama likes must have some deep meaning. Maybe I can think of some good ideas to make money if I sit there for a while!"

"that is it!"

"I am back!"

"Welcome back!"

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

"Doesn't Akina have to go to rehearsal today?" He remembered that today should be the rehearsal day for "Night Hit".

"I don't have a notice for this episode of Night Hit." Akina Nakamori, wearing an apron and a headscarf, looked like a very virtuous housewife. She put potatoes into the soup pot and replied, "Curry potatoes today!"

"Mm, it smells good!" Naoki Nagayama changed his clothes and walked into the kitchen and asked, "Do you want my help?"

"No need! It will be ready soon!" Akina Nakamori pushed Naoki Nagayama out of the kitchen area, "Naoki-san, just sit there and wait for dinner!"

"Oh~"

Naoki Nagayama did not refuse. Instead, he sat on the chair, touched Inatarou's head, and talked about what happened today.

"Before I came back, I went to Yamazakurain to take a look. The foundation of the house in the middle has been laid, and the construction of the house in Yamazakurain is about to start~"

"Hey~~~ Not too slow~" Akina Nakamori said as she added seasoning, "We won't be able to move into our new home until June, right?"

"Well, it happens to be June, and TreeFriends is moving too!"

"Double happiness?"

"Hmm~"

The two of them slowly talked about the interesting things that happened today, and then Akina Nakamori scooped some curry on a small plate and brought it over for Nagayama Naoki to taste. They were as harmonious as an old couple.

When the aroma wafted away, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were already eating dinner at the dining table.

"Naoki-san, the agency wants to make the song you sent us yesterday into a separate album for sale!" Akina Nakamori mentioned the previous decision, "Packaging it as a special project for the cherry blossom season."

"That's great. But, is there enough time? Don't you have to prepare a new song?"

"It's in time. It will be quick."

Akina Nakamori is full of confidence and plans to record the song tomorrow and take the cover photo immediately.

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

"If Naoki-san wants to hear it, why don't you just listen to me sing~"

Akina Nakamori blinked her big eyes, as if she was flirting.
"What if Akina isn't around when I want to listen?"

“You can call!”

".What if it's a performance?"

"Nothing unexpected!"

"Haha~"

They asked and answered each other childishly like little kids, and both of them couldn't help laughing. The warm yellow light seemed to agree with them.
The next morning, Naoki Nagayama went directly to the studio to take a look at the new headquarters with Otomo Yoshimura.

But before leaving, Yoshimura Otomo came up with a simple promotional plan.
"Naoki-san, this is a draft of the promotional material prepared by the Publishing Division based on your comments yesterday."

"I just told you yesterday, but you took it out early this morning?" Nagayama Naoki was extremely surprised. "What kind of efficiency is this?"

"I said we should see it as soon as possible. Sugiyama-san and Watanabe-kun just worked overtime." Yoshimura Otomo seemed not to care about such a small matter as working overtime. "Anyway, the workload of the Publishing Department is not saturated recently."

"."

Hearing the words "unsaturated workload" again, Naoki Nagayama felt the memory of being a social slave come back to him, and he felt a chill on his back. Because usually after such comments, it is followed by "reducing costs and increasing efficiency" and "optimizing layoffs".
In the end, the remaining employees began to roll in, and 996 became 007
"Otomo-san, you should treat your employees as human beings! If they always work overtime without pay, they will be dissatisfied even if they don't say it!"

The remaining conscience of Naoki Nagayama made him feel a little bit reluctant, and even felt empathy, so he advised earnestly,
"After all, we are all the same. We only work to make a living. There is no need to be too harsh and exploitative. In our Shuyou Group, employees must love each other!"

Listening to Naoki Nagayama's statement, as if he was exploiting free labor, Yoshimura Otomo looked over in surprise:
"Naoki-san, we paid overtime pay!!! Double it!!!"

Can you do whatever you want if you are paid overtime?! Naoki Nagayama got angry!
"Oh, that's all right."

Naoki Nagayama opened the plan and started reading it.

Although this simple promotional plan describes the film with words like groundbreaking, bloody zombies, horror factory, and one-shot, it still feels a bit bland.

"Otomo-san, call them over so I can talk to them in person~"

"Yeah, they're waiting outside."

Yoshimura Otomo snapped his fingers handsomely, and the office door opened. Sugiyama Toshihiko and Watanabe Eiichiro walked in with bloodshot eyes.

"Naoki-san, Otomo-san"

"."

Although it is unnecessary to complain about Yoshimura Otomo's coolness, it is indeed a bit cool! It feels like when he throws a cup, 500 swordsmen rush in.
"Ahem." Naoki Nagayama said to the two people, "Sugiyama-san, Watanabe-kun, I asked you to come here because of this plan."

"Hi!" X2
"The promotional material does have some amazing words, but you guys are a little too timid," Naoyama Naoki said. "You just use words like 'real bloody scenes', 'violent killing of zombies', 'live broadcast', 'combination of horror and comedy', 'no boring moments'!"

“Um.” The head of the publishing department, Sugiyama Toshihiko, was a little older and more stable after all. “Naoki-san, isn’t this too exaggerated? It’s totally different from the script!”

In fact, judging from the first half of the script, it's a completely shoddy zombie short film!
"A gimmick, that's what we need!" Naoki Nagayama patted his shoulder, "Then there's Naoki Nagayama's Waterloo, a big failure in life. Naoki Nagayama is sorry for being born as a human being. Sugiyama-san, you should think more about how to use these exaggerated words, so that you can attract the audience's attention!"

"."

As the head of the distribution department, I feel sorry that Naoki-san has to teach movie promotions!
Yoshimura Otomo watched the interaction between several people without saying a word. Naoki Nagayama's advanced publicity strategy is indeed shocking.

This time when "Don't Stop the Camera" is released, there will definitely be something good to watch!
After expressing their opinions, Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura came to the new headquarters in Ikebukuro together. The exterior of the solid-looking office building did not appear to have been modified at all.

When 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 have become a unified large open space, with different work areas allocated according to different types of work.

The partitions on the desks are ten centimeters higher than the table top and serve only as a sign to distinguish workstations. They do not affect communication between employees.

Green plants are also included, as well as other auxiliary landscape decorations
"Naoki-san, our office is on the top floor," Yoshimura Otomo led Nagayama Naoki towards the elevator, "Our office is next door."

"Hi!"

There are a total of four rooms on the top floor, three of which are offices and one is a medium-sized conference room used for senior management meetings or receiving guests.

Naoki Nagayama walked into his office and saw an oversized solid wood desk as well as other bookcases, sofas, coffee tables, etc. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows allowed him to directly see the scenery of Ikebukuro.

It's the same style as the office of a CEO in a TV drama or the office of the top leader in a government agency.

"How is it, Naoki-san, are you satisfied?" Yoshimura Otomo came over after looking at his own office. "Naoki-san is in a side office, so the view is more beautiful."

"It's a pity. I don't come here often. It's a shame to leave this office empty~" Naoki Nagayama sighed as he patted the solid wood desk.

"This is the standard that a president should have! Whether you use it or not, the standard still needs to be there!"

Yoshimura Otomo said seriously,
"The president's office is too small. How can the department heads use the big offices? How can the section heads use their own offices? How can the directors have their own workstations?"

".I originally thought that the hierarchy in Shuyou Group was not so obvious." Naoki Nagayama was surprised. He has always pursued flat management without too many management chains.

"Naoki-san, your personal style has made the company's employees feel more equal when communicating. However, as the company grows, such management is necessary. There must be a clear division of responsibilities at work!"

Yoshimura Otomo explained,
"Otherwise we will become a mob!"

As a true Showa person, Yoshimura Otomo still agrees with the company's hierarchical division. Under the environment of lifetime employment system, the most important thing is to do one's job peacefully!
It was difficult for Naoki Nagayama to object to what Yoshimura Otomo said. After all, he was the one in charge on a daily basis and he must have his own ideas about how to manage employees. However, his modern memories made him realize that such a hierarchical system would limit the vitality of the company.

"Okay~"

He decided silently in his heart that no matter what, the company's management chain cannot be too long. If senior executives of Naoki Nagayama's level have no contact with ordinary employees, it would be too rigid.
As for the rest, I need to recall the future modern company structure and plan it out~
　The promise of adding more chapters has been fulfilled!!! I added more chapters at the end of last month, and at the beginning of this month. It must have been five days and there is really not a drop left!!!
