Xiao Mingcai was a little confused: "What is inflation?"

Well, Akina dropped out of high school... although in this era, Japanese high schools don't teach much economic information.

"It's a phenomenon of rising prices." Nagayama Naoki explained, "You must have noticed it since you were a kid. The cabbage you could buy for one or two yen when you were a kid now costs ten yen."

"Hi, so what Naoki-san is saying is that real estate will become more and more expensive in the future? It will be a good deal to buy it now?"

"Yes, and because houses in Tokyo are a scarce resource, there will be more and more people who want to buy them, and there will be more and more competition."

Akina Nakamori looked confused and said, "Sure enough, there is a reason why Naoki-san makes money."

"..." How do you say this? Is this a compliment?

"So in 8 years? Will we not be able to catch up after 8 years?" Xiao Mingcai was like a curious kitten, asking questions non-stop.

"This... is just a rough judgment based on productivity growth, short-term debt cycle and long-term debt cycle, and combined with the general trend of the world economy."

Nagayama Naoki kept talking about terminology that he didn't even understand with a calm face. He was lying. Who can't be an expert? Anyway, the final result will be my endorsement.

"Akina-chan, just remember to sell the house before the 8-year period comes."

"Si Guoyi!" The ignorant girl Cai was deceived by the bad brother.

.......

Just as Akina and Naoki were discussing the graffiti on the corner of the stairs, the doorbell of Yamazakuin rang again.

"Eh? Someone actually rang the doorbell again." Nagayama Naoki said differently to Akina, "In the past month, no one would ring the doorbell."

"Are they friends?"

Akina Nakamori suddenly felt a little nervous. What if Naoki-san's friend or relative (Tsuruko) discovered her at Naoki-san's house?

What should I do if I suddenly want to find a place to hide?

"It's probably a sales promotion, right? No one else said they were coming." Naoki Nagayama put on his slippers and was about to open the door.

"Naoki-san, should I avoid it?" Akina was a little nervous when she stood in the restaurant.

"Nani? Why are you avoiding me? You are my friend. Isn't it normal to come to see me?" Naoki Nagayama said, walked out of the room and walked towards the door.

"Hi~" Xiao Mingcai breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed, just... just friends?

Opening the door, two middle-aged men stood side by side at the door, holding gifts of condolences such as fruits.

"Naoki-san, how are you doing?" "We came to visit you."

Although Nagayama Naoki was a little confused by these two guys, he still said welcome and invited the two people in.

After entering the door, they saw someone already in the living room, a cute girl. Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi were both a little embarrassed, "Does Naoki-san have any guests?"

Naoki Nagayama had just put away the fruits, and he laughed when he heard this: "Ah, yes, this is Akina Nakamori, and she is also here to visit me."

Then he introduced to Akina: "Akina-chan, these two are my good friends. This is Itou Shuichi, the director of Shuyu Pictures, and the other is Yoshimura Otomo, the director of Shuyou Pictures."

So the two sides began a traditional Japanese meeting ceremony:

"Hello, I am..., first time meeting, please take care of me..." Bow x3

While talking, Nagayama Naoki had already poured tea for Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, and they started cooking in the living room.

Yoshimura Otomo looked at it for a few times and suddenly remembered: "Ms. Nakamori, have you ever participated in the program "A Star! Is Born!"?"

"Hi, I did participate, it's the 38th session."

"Isn't that the same issue as our Junko?"

Yoshimura Otomo suddenly thought that Nakamori Akina was the winner of that period. He still went to participate with Nagayama Naoki, but because of the matter of raising the placard, Yoshimura Otomo was nervous the whole time, and his thoughts were all focused on Ito Junko.

No one else even paid much attention to it.

"Is it Ito Junko-san? Hi, we are from the first issue." Akina Nakamori also remembered. Isn't this balding middle-aged man the one who came to "A Star! Is Born!" with Naoki-san?

With common ground, the distance is instantly shortened and the topic is found.

"Ah, it turns out to be Akina-san. Hasn't Akina-san made her official debut yet? I don't seem to have seen it." Yoshimura Otomo immediately started chatting,

"Yes, it is scheduled to debut on May 1st." Nakamori Akina knew that the person opposite her was a manager from another agency, so she successfully revealed her face as an artist and began to chat steadily, "Junko-san has already debuted for a while.

It’s time, are you preparing the second song?”

"Hi, I just found it recently. I was just about to record it..."

The two chatted familiarly about idols, and Nagayama Naoki joined in from time to time, but Itou Shuichi next to him seemed to be left out in the cold.

After talking for a while, Nakamori Akina seemed to also realize that the two people came to Nagayama Naoki to talk about something, but it was not convenient for him to be here, so he politely left.

"Naoki-san, it's getting late today, so I'll take my leave first." Xiao Mingcai said generously, perfectly showing the style of an idol,

"Hi, thank you for visiting Akina-chan. I'm really troubling you today." Nagayama Naoki sent Akina out the door and watched her get into the taxi.

"Naoki-san, please remember to take care of yourself. Bye~" Akina waved her hand in the back seat of the taxi.

"Hey, be careful on the road~"

Naoki Nagayama returned to Sansakura-in and found two middle-aged men looking at him lewdly...

"I said, what's going on with your eyes?!"

Itou Shuichi, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately said: "I didn't expect Naoki-san to actually attack an idol who has not yet debuted...Ms. Nakamori is only 16 years old!"

"Akina-chan is already 17 years old!" Naoki Nagayama retorted subconsciously, and then he remembered something, "Who said I would attack an undebuted idol! We are just friends!"

Itou Shuichi seemed to confirm something: "Ha, yes, they are just friends!"

"Hey, let's stop talking nonsense to you. Both guys are not good people!" Nagayama Naoki said angrily, "By the way, what's the matter with you guys coming here together?"

Itou Shuichi was a little hesitant now: "We are just here to visit..."

Yoshimura Otomo, who was drinking tea next to him, couldn't stand it any longer: "Shuichi-san, how coquettish are you! A man should openly state his purpose!"

Then he said to Nagayama Naoki: "Naoki-san, the truth is, Shuichi-san has been hesitant about casting for the movie, but he was too embarrassed to disturb the sick person, so he wanted to come in the name of visiting.

Look at Naoki-san, by the way I want to ask if you have any good ideas here!"

After saying this in one breath, he threw all the blame on Itou Shuichi's head, and Yoshimura Otomo started drinking tea again, hiding his merit and fame!

Ah, this tea tastes so good. I should ask Naoki-san for some when I leave~

Next to him, Itou Shuichi still looks like he can't believe it...
