"Naoki-san, long time no see~"

I saw Takashi Honma and his apprentice Naoya Sakata again in the Honma Architectural Design Office. The two of them rushed back to Tokyo from Kyoto in the morning.

At the small reception table, Nagayama Naoki and Honma Takashi each took a side table. Sakata Naoya served hot tea to the two of them in turn, and then sat aside and chatted for a while...

There is a young girl with short hair in the workroom over there, like a shy child during the New Year, hiding in the workroom and not coming out... It should be Ishida Shinkai who answered the phone before~

"Homma-san and Sakata-kun, I'm really sorry for calling you back suddenly..." Nagayama Naoki apologized slightly.

"Haha, it's okay... The main body of the courtyard in Kyoto has been completed. The next painting and decoration work only needs us to check and accept it. We don't need to keep an eye on it all the time."

Takashi Honma responded with a smile and reported on the progress of the courtyard.

"It is estimated that the construction of the house will be completed around February...

Over the next few months, we will be perfecting the landscaping and adjustments to the exterior courtyard...so final delivery in June is absolutely no problem!”

"This...does the courtyard landscape take a quarter?" I was very happy when I heard the progress, but when I heard that the courtyard actually took so long, Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised.

Sakata Naoya helped answer: "Naoki-san, the landscape layout of the courtyard is a very detailed work. The matching, construction and shaping of different plants take time, and some vegetation needs warmer weather before transplanting...

.

And in order to ensure the landscape, we also need to replace some dead plants that are not suitable..."

"Anyway, if it is completed in June, the courtyard will be a complete, beautiful, and formed building..."

After hearing the explanation, Naoki Nagayama nodded. He still has great trust in Honma Design Office, which he has cooperated with for so long.

After continuing to chat about the Kyoto courtyard for a while, Naoki Nagayama revealed the reason for his visit:

"Homma-san, Sakata-kun, I have called you two back in a hurry this time because I have another commission to ask."

As he spoke, Naoki Nagayama took out the information that Keiko Fujita had given him before, pointed at the one in Harajuku and said: "This year, the company decided to build a new type of nightclub called KTV...

You can refer to the form of a club, but it is in the form of small boxes, and there are karaoke equipment..."

Nagayama Naoki told the two of them what they needed to design, and both the master and the apprentice actually took out a small notebook to record it. It was obvious at a glance that they were of the same origin.

"In terms of design style, it needs to be moderately luxurious, but not too luxurious...what is that word...light luxury!" Nagayama Naoki kept talking, "it also needs good sound insulation.

...Some guests will cry like ghosts and howl..."

As the saying goes, the more repressed you are, the more powerful your emotions will explode... Japan has too much repression at work and in social life, so it will be more exposed in KTV.

The two people opposite recorded the key points for several pages, and then Takashi Honma asked: "Naoki-san, it sounds like this is a different model from other nightclubs on the market... Is it unique to your company?

?”

"Haha, yes!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Homma-san, in addition to this one, we will open many KTVs in the future! So we can say that there are endless commissions like this!"

"this....."

Takashi Honma's heart beat a little faster. Although it is not a challenging commission like the Samadhi Residence or the Kyoto Garden, such a business commission can undoubtedly bring a large amount of stable business to the office!

Under Naoki Nagayama's several generous moves, Honma Architects has grown from a small family-run studio to a small design office with three members. This year, it has received a series of commissions...

What is the name of the largest architectural design firm in Tokyo?

"Hi, Naoki-san, we will definitely do our best!" Takashi Honma assured firmly, "We will provide a preliminary design within a week!"

"Hahaha, that's the best~" Nagayama Naoki was very happy, and then found another one from the information, "By the way, this is another private commission, a piece of land I bought near Lake Toya.

…Want to design it like a holiday cabin…”

...........

After Nagayama Naoki left, Ishida Shinkai walked out of the workroom and looked at Honma Takashi and Sakata Naoya who were reading the information:

"Teacher, Sakata-senpai...is the client just now a big client of our firm? That star, Naoki Nagayama?"

Naoya Sakata smiled and said: "Hahaha, that can no longer be said to be a big client, it is simply a reborn parent! You know... Last year alone, our design office earned at least 300 million!"

"Sakata, don't gossip!" Takashi Honma patted Naoya Sakata's forehead with a notebook, and then said to Shinkai Ishida, "Naoki-san is indeed a big customer... Shinkai-chan should come out

Get to know him, there will be many times when you need to have contact with him in the future."

"...Teacher, I'm just a designer! When it comes to contacting customers, aren't there teachers and Sakata-senpai?" Shinkai Ishida is relatively relaxed in front of acquaintances, and there is a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

"You..." Honma Takashi shook his head. Ishida Shinkai is the daughter of his family friend and has been treated as a descendant. "In this case, then the design of the holiday home next to Lake Toya is

give it to you!"

"Hi~" Ishida Shinkai took the information and was surprised, "Is it so big? Nagayama Naoki is really rich~"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Naoya Sakata smiled and said: "That's right... The house we live in now was also designed by us! Chiyoda's Yamazakura-in~"

"Really..."

.........

Naoki Nagayama was driving home when his nose felt itchy and he couldn't help but sneeze.

"Caught a cold? You shouldn't be~" Nagayama Naoki touched his nose strangely, "Some guy must be scolding me behind my back!"

In the villa located in Seguda, Fukasaku Kinji angrily slapped the newspaper on the small table on the bed...

I don’t know why, but since the Chinese New Year, my body has become weaker and weaker, and I have begun to stay in bed. He thought it was due to the treatment of prostate disease, coupled with his age and the low temperature in winter, which caused his physical weakness.

At this time, he was losing his temper after reading a report:

"Akina Nakamori's performance is so classic, there will be no more "Winter Love" from now on!

There are so many love movies in winter, how could this "Love Letter" have such a big impact! And...a new actor, doesn't he just play different roles?"

"This guy Nagayama Naoki is so shameless! He dares to let the newspaper publish anything!"

His wife Sanae Nakahara heard the noise and came over: "What's wrong? Being so angry is not good for your health..."

"That guy is so irritating!" Fukasaku Kinji said, "He actually did such a thing just to win an award!"

"Nani?" Nakahara Sanae picked up the newspaper, glanced at the report twice and shook his head, "What's the point? Fukasaku-san, when you were competing for the prize before, didn't you also let the reporters boast about it?"

"this......"

Fukasaku Kinji was choked and had nothing to say, he could only stare at his wife angrily.

What I can do doesn’t mean that Naoki Nagayama can do it!

Do you know what it means that only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?

Also, just because I can do things, it doesn’t mean that I can’t despise him, Naoki Nagayama!

Do you know what it means to be lenient to yourself and strict to others?

In short, you are not allowed to talk about me!

"What do you, an old woman who knows nothing, know?!" Fukasaku Kinji was furious and incompetent, "Bring me the phone quickly, I want to call Tanaka Tomoyuki!"

Sanae Nakahara had no choice but to put the phone on the small table on the bed.

Fukasaku Kinji dialed Tanaka Yuyuki's number and listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone with great irritation.

"Moses Moses, this is Tanaka's house." A young and soft female voice came.

"Moses Moses, this is Kinji Fukasaku. Is Tanaka Yuyuki here?"

"Hi! Please wait a moment..." The female voice on the microphone returned, and only the sound of small steps away slowly faded away.

Fukasaku Kinji was a little curious. Tanaka Tomoyuki's wife was also quite old, and her children were all working. Could this person in his house be a nanny? She really had a life...

Waited for a while...

"Moses, Moses, Fukasaku-san." Tanaka Yuyuki's voice came out.

"Tanaka-san, I saw the report about "Love Letter" in the newspaper... You don't care about such outrageous language?!" Fukasaku Kinji directly stated the purpose of his visit, "This momentum,

They obviously bet all their money on "Love Letter"!"

"...Fukasaku-san, you are talking as if the newspaper is run by my family..." Tanaka Yuyuki complained, "I take care of it? How can I take care of it?!"

Fukasaku Kinji was a little strange. With Tanaka Yuyuki's status in the industry and Toho's relationship, how could he not suppress a few reports?

"Tanaka-san, what's wrong with you? You look exhausted. Don't you want "Snow" to win the award?"

Talking about his own movie, Tanaka seems to be more energetic: "Of course... But "Snow" is competing for the best actress... and there is also a chance for the best director award."

"This..." Fukasaku Kinji didn't understand.

"Sayuri Yoshinaga is still capable..." Tanaka Yuyuki only said this, "So there is still hope for the best actress. And for the best director, Ichikawa Kun's chance is still a little bit short."

"How?...and...other awards?"

Tanaka Yuyuki said slowly: "Fukasaku-san... I heard a piece of news while chatting with the top management of Toho today."

"What news?" Fukasaku Kinji knew that this news was what made Tanaka Yuyuki lose his fighting spirit.

"They said that the representative of the Sasakawa Foundation talked about a new idol in his agency during the chat... He said that he has a high chance of winning the best newcomer in the film industry this year."

"Sasakawa Foundation?" Fukasaku Kinji thought for a while, "Kenyin?......Nakamori Akina?"

"Yeah..." Tanaka Yuyuki sighed, "Now that the words have been released, the Sasakawa Foundation means to support Nakamori Akina!"
