535, characteristics of the times~(1/3)
...
Winter in Tokyo rarely brings warm sunshine.
The warm sunshine has been shining on early risers since early in the morning, making people intoxicated by its warmth.
The sky was even more clear and clean, as if someone had used detergent to clean it so hard that not even a harmless cloud stain could be seen.
Naoki Nagayama arrived at the studio early, greeted the employees energetically, and then went into the editing room.
There is not much editing work left for "Love Letter", it's time to go all out and finish it!
But just over an hour later, Yoshimura Otomo came in again and disturbed them: "Naoki-san?"
"Hi?"
At Yoshimura Otomo's signal, Shuichi Itou and Naoki Nagayama both walked out, "What's wrong?"
“It’s time for very important work!”
"?"
"The package of the year-end bonus!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "Guangrei-chan and I have already withdrawn the year-end bonus in batches, and it is in the safe in the office!"
"60 million in cash?"
"Hi!"
Suddenly I feel that the office has become important!
After hearing this, Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou had nothing to say. This is indeed what the boss should do.
Let Kyū Kijima and Masataka Komori continue to deal with the end of the editing. They followed Otomo Yoshimura back to the office and then locked the door.
The envelopes have been prepared, and the list of year-end bonuses has been placed on the table. After opening the safe, stacks of Shotoku Taishi are neatly stacked together... Sure enough, the impact of cash is still there!
"Naoki-san, let's get started!" Yoshimura Otomo said.
Although it was a bit shocking to see so much cash, the process of packaging the year-end bonus was very arduous. First, the money was counted according to the list, and then it was put into the envelope. Finally, you had to write your name on the envelope to seal it...
"Otomo-san, next year, why don't we let the finance department take care of the encapsulation matter..." After Naoki Nagayama filled a dozen envelopes, he became a little irritated.
"If the finance is directly encapsulated, some problems may arise..."
There was no electronic transfer in this era, and even wages were paid in cash. It was okay to go directly to the finance office to receive wages. However, the year-end bonus was relatively large, and it was a way to show the boss's status, so
It is best to send it by hand.
"We might as well use money orders or the like... cash, it would be too troublesome~"
Yoshimura Otomo said: "If you use a money order, there will be no thickness without this kind of cash!"
As he spoke, he also lifted up an envelope. The thick stack looked very powerful: "Such a pressing feeling will give employees a huge sense of happiness! It will also make employees feel more grateful...
When other employees see this kind of thickness, they will also have full confidence in the company, which will make the company unite as one!"
As an old man from the Showa era, I have a deep understanding of this, and from a management perspective, it does have some benefits.
"..."
Naoki Nagayama couldn't refute that in modern companies of later generations, year-end bonuses and wages are just a series of numbers, and there is indeed a lack of sense of ritual.
"However, when there are more and more people in the future, the three of us will definitely not be able to handle it!"
Yi Tangxiu smiled and said: "At that time, we can think of other ways! If it is Shuyou Group, the president of the branch will be responsible for the delivery~"
He seemed to agree with this method of hand-delivery... Alas, this is the characteristic of the times!
...
In the afternoon, I came to Sumida District after a long absence.
In the era before the Skytree was built, this was just a residential area with traditional Kanto characteristics. Naoki Nagayama still remembers that not far away was the sumo wrestling hall where his cousin Kaede Nagayama lived.
However, he did not turn the steering wheel and drove towards the sumo wrestling hall. He was not here to see his cousin today, he was here to help his girlfriend move.
According to the address specified in the previous phone call, Naoki Nagayama arrived at a high-rise building not far from the Sumida Ward Office. Akina's place this time was on the 11th floor.
This apartment was obviously very strictly managed. Under the watchful eye of the administrator, Naoki Nagayama called Akina on the 11th floor at the gate and was able to enter the building.
"Naoki-san!"
Akina opened the door with a bright smile on her face, and then diligently took the ingredients and bags in her hands.
Yes, Naoki Nagayama also provides door-to-door food delivery service~
After taking off her coat and scarf at the entrance, she put on thick slippers and walked onto the wooden floor indoors. Akina, who was wearing a woolen sweater, had already put the ingredients away and was standing in front of her to help organize them.
Folds in clothes.
He walked forward gently, hugged his girlfriend, and then carefully looked at her beautiful cheeks:
"Why do I feel like Akina's hair has grown a lot since I haven't seen you for a few days~"
"Hair grows fast..." Akina said softly, "In about two months, it will reach the neck~"
Naoki Nagayama gave a wicked smile: "Oh? To the neck? Is it here?"
He hugged the girl in his arms tightly, put his face to her swan-like neck and rubbed it gently.
"Ah...haha...Naoki Sanya~It's so itchy~" Akina Nakamori shrank her neck, but her body was hugged tightly, and she could only press her head against her boyfriend.
Nagayama Naoki felt Akina's soft hair on his face, and then her delicate cheeks... Immediately afterwards, the warm breath of skin-to-skin contact filled the two people. Unconsciously, Nagayama Naoki kissed him.
Girlfriend's lips.
His breathing gradually became faster, and the blood in his body seemed to be heating up. For a moment, Nagayama Naoki's restless hands were already free of the delicate body in his arms.
"Dah!"
At the critical moment, Akina held down Naoki Nagayama's hand that had reached into her clothes. The rosy-faced girl gasped slightly and said shyly, "Naoki-san, it's daytime now!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What about during the day... isn't it more exciting...
Such thoughts came to Nagayama Naoki's mind, but when he thought about it again, his little girlfriend was only 18 years old after all...She was still young, so she still couldn't accept such a standard!
"No way..."
Nagayama Naoki looked at his little girlfriend, but Akina's eyes were not only ashamed, but also filled with persistence.
"Dah~~~"
"Okay then..." Naoki Nagayama kissed him on the cheek a few times before letting go of the beauty in his arms, "Let's note it down for now..."
"Naoki-san is a big pervert! Hahaha~"
Feeling the respect of her boyfriend, Akina showed a naughty smile, then happily hugged Nagayama Naoki's arm and pulled him into her new home.
Nagayama Naoki walked into the living room and looked around. This time it was a two-bedroom and one-living room structure. A large TV, a dressing table, a sofa, and other household appliances had been placed in the living room.
The open kitchen and dining room are integrated into one, making the space more open and a higher level than the previous apartment.
I walked to the window of the living room and looked out. The wide Sumida River branched off into a smaller tributary not far ahead, the Oyoko River, which flowed around Sumida River Park and Nakamori Akina's apartment. The converging rivers are in winter.
The sparkling waves under the warm sun, coupled with the greenery of Sumida River Park, make people feel relaxed and happy.
"The apartments are getting more and more upscale! River view rooms..."
Akina snuggled next to her: "Yes, Fang Zesang chose several options, and I fell in love with this place at first sight."
"Has all the furniture been delivered?"
"Yeah~" Akina looked at her boyfriend again, with a smile on her face again, "It just needs a little adjustment..."
Ah, this is the role of a boyfriend!
.......
Warner Pioneer Headquarters Building, Ming Xingfang walked vigorously into the office of Ming Nai's Publicity Department.
"Fusana-san?" Tanaka Yoshiaki noticed his arrival and was very surprised, "Why did you come here suddenly? Is Akina-chan here too?"
"Akina-chan has a half-day off today and has to move..." Akikofusa explained, "I came here today because I want to bring this record to Yoshiaki-san."
"What record?" Tanaka Yoshiaki took it and knew it was a demo tape, and he was a little curious.
"It was sent over by Shuyou Pictures, the record of Akina-chan singing "Snow Flower"." Akiko Fubo explained the source, "Originally, it was meant to be given to Akina-chan for trial listening, but after listening to it, we decided to
Send it over to Warner Pioneer for everyone to listen to."
"???"
Tanaka Yoshiaki was a little confused, "Isn't this a record specially produced by Shuyou Pictures? Although it is said to be in our name, the decision-making power rests with them... What's the use of showing it to us?"
Despite what he said, Tanaka Yoshiaki still put the audition tape into the player.
"Because it may be released at the same time as Akina-chan's "North Wing", we think we still need to communicate with everyone at Warner Bros."
Akiko Fusa was talking, the player had already played a moving melody, and then came Akina's soft and powerful singing voice... The entire Warner Pioneer office fell silent for a while, and everyone listened carefully to this song.
"Snow Flower".
First the soft version of singing, and then the gentle version of voice. The same song has two completely different feelings. People are amazed by Akina Nakamori's powerful expressiveness, but in the hearts of professional producers, they admire record production even more.
human level.
