Chapter 1319-1328, Flower Sauce, your reincarnation skills are amazing!!
After a long day of filming, Naoki Nagayama returned to Yamazakura-in and was immediately greeted by a scene that astonished him.
"The legendary monkey riding a dog?!"
Watching my daughter ride on Eitaro's back, run up to Naoki Nagayama, and then run away laughing shrilly—the scene was simply too shocking.
To be honest, if you have a dog at home, most kids would want to ride it. But that's usually the boys!
"I watched 'The Prince on a White Horse' this afternoon, and maybe Hana-chan mistook Eitaro for the white horse."
After carefully putting away Naoki Nagayama's coat, Akina looked at the scene with a mixture of amusement and helplessness, and said...
"And then, surprisingly, Eitaro actually let her ride on him."
"."
To be honest, a Labrador like Yingtaro, in his prime, could easily carry a small child. But Xiaoxiahua is only a little over a year old and can't even walk very steadily yet, and she already has a mount?!
"Didn't you fall?"
"No. I'm holding on very tightly!"
Akina didn't directly scold the child for doing that, because in this day and age, being a mother who doesn't spoil the fun is quite rare.
Just as the big white dog ran up to Naoki Nagayama's legs again, the little guy riding on his back started giggling, and Naoki Nagayama suddenly felt playful!
"Eitaro, if you're so strong, why don't you try carrying my weight!"
He then hugged both the dog and his daughter, then threw them onto the soft carpet in the living room, finally pinning the dog down with his thigh. Amidst Xia Hua's happy laughter, Ying Taro helplessly endured being bullied by the father and daughter.
"Waaaaah (Master, I can't do it!)"
Finally, she let out a soft, whimpering plea for mercy.
Akina's eyes widened at the sight; she never expected her husband to do something so absurd!
Turning her head, she saw Mrs. Nonaka Mari covering her mouth and snickering. She felt her face flush red. How embarrassing!
"Naoki-san, why are you acting like Hana-chan! Get up!"
Akina quickly went over to the father and daughter who were playing around, trying to pull them up, however...
"Ha, Huajiang, Mom wants to ride too! Let's build a human pyramid!"
As he spoke, taking advantage of his height and size, he caught Akina off guard and tumbled her onto the carpet, then picked up his daughter and piled them on top of each other.
Two adults, a child, and a dog were making a ruckus on the carpet, their laughter, whimpers, and playful noises filling the living room. Little Xia Hua, in particular, seemed incredibly happy, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Several minutes later, Akina's mother finally managed to break free from the unreliable father and daughter, her cheeks slightly flushed and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. However, she still maintained her maternal authority.
"Hana-chan! Get up and get ready for dinner! Eitaro, hurry up and go too."
Then he said to Naoki Nagayama:
"Naoki-san, you're making Hana-chan less and less like a lady!"
"Haha~"
Naoki Nagayama hugged his slightly sweaty daughter and rubbed his nose.
"We Huajiang don't want to be ladies, we can be tomboys too! Right?"
Yes~~
Xia Hua blinked her big eyes and nodded without hesitation!
"Damn it!" Akina quickly pulled them both up. "Hurry up and get ready, let's go to the dining table and eat!"
"."
Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked at each other:
"Hana-chan, this is bad! Akina's mom is going to get angry! Let's go eat!"
"Mmmmm~"
Seeing the childish words and actions of the father and daughter, Akina shook her head and ignored them, then quickly went to the kitchen to help set up dinner.
During dinner, Akina asked:
"Naoki-san, will you be back for the film festival the day after tomorrow?"
"The closing ceremony, huh?" Naoki Nagayama nodded. "Shuichi-san called me; of course I'll be attending the awards ceremony."
"What about the filming?"
"Haha, then let's take a day off!"
Naoki Nagayama said with a smile,
"Since many actors also need to attend, I'll just take them all back to Tokyo tomorrow night!"
Anyway, their private jet is quite large, so the main actors and Masataka Komori had no problem at all.
"That's good"
Akina pondered to herself, "The closing ceremony is right after Naoki-san's birthday. What reason can I use to keep him here?"
"Naoki-san, after the closing ceremony, we're going to Akaiyuin. Can our private jet land there?"
"No, the captain said the plane can only land at the airport in Osaka, and then we have to transfer to a helicopter to Takamine Helicopter Airport in Kyoto, which is very close to Abeyoiin."
Naoki Nagayama said while eating dinner,
"Actually, I was thinking of building a helicopter landing pad directly on the mountain behind the Red Fish Institute. That might be more convenient."
"Should we build a helipad?"
Akina was somewhat surprised.
"May I?"
"Anyway, there is plenty of open space on the back mountain. There is only one Ksitigarbha Temple. It is easy to build a helipad on the flat land near the top of the mountain."
"Then I'll buy a light helicopter for my own use."
As he spoke, Naoki Nagayama even became somewhat excited.
"Speaking of which, building a helipad in Yamazakura-in might be a good idea. It's just that it would be too noisy and too conspicuous in the city."
"."
Akina was shocked to hear that her husband wanted to buy a helicopter and build a helipad just to get a movie out of theaters. Although she knew they were rich, she thought it wasn't the way to spend their money.
"Naoki-san, isn't this a bit too extravagant and wasteful?"
"Hmm, it seems so!"
Naoki Nagayama took a sip of his drink.
"But what would I do with all this money if it weren't for a luxurious lifestyle?!"
"."
That makes perfect sense; Akina couldn't refute it.
She glanced at her daughter, who was happily devouring her dinner beside her, and sighed:
"Hua Jiang, you were born into such a privileged family!"
When Yoshimura Otomo returned to the Carune Club, he felt slightly uncomfortable in the private room. He now knew that there was a high-definition camera filming him!
However, the other young people in the room were quite cheerful; these were all members that Yoshihiko Noda had met within the Social Democratic Party.
He knew his seniority wouldn't be enough to immediately subdue the party elders, so he first cultivated relationships with some younger, more capable individuals, nurturing them gradually.
Bringing them to the club in Roppongi to relax was partly to build rapport, and partly to demonstrate our strength!
Let me tell you, I have a big financial backer behind me!!
"Everyone, Minister Yoshimura has taken great care of me. I was new to Tokyo and didn't know anyone there, so he helped me find a place to stay!"
"We were able to come to the club in Roppongi today thanks to him."
Noda Yoshihiko, who had drunk quite a bit, had a flushed face. He raised his glass.
"So, I want to toast him!!! Cheers!"
"Hahaha, cheers!"
Yoshimura Otomo, of course, accepted the offer without hesitation and drank a glass of wine with a smile.
Then, as if it were a casual question, he asked:
"How's Noda-kun's election going?"
"very smooth!"
When Noda Yoshihiko mentioned this, his face immediately lit up with pride.
"Voters strongly agree with my political beliefs!"
"Haha, then after a while, I'll be able to call Noda-kun 'Congressman Noda'!"
Haha, thanks for your support!
After exchanging compliments, Yoshimura Otomo continued to ask:
"So, after becoming a member of parliament, what position will Noda hold within the Social Democratic Party?"
If you don't want to climb the ranks, being a casual member of parliament is pretty much the way to go. But if you want to rise through the ranks, taking a party position is the proper way to accumulate experience, become the party leader, and eventually become the prime minister.
"This"
At this point, Yoshihiko Noda put down his drink and began to complain.
"Now that Takeshita's faction has merged into the Social Democratic Party, all the positions within the party have been taken up by these guys!"
The Takeshita faction was already a powerful faction in politics. This time, it was just a matter of breaking away from the Liberal Democratic Party. They have no shortage of experience and influence. In order to unify their forces, the Social Democratic Party had no choice but to compromise and give them some positions.
"Oh? They've all been taken over by the Takeshita faction?"
Yoshimura Otomo asked in a somewhat surprised tone,
"Isn't Takeshita Noboru embroiled in scandals?"
"It's just a scandal, and the secretary has already taken responsibility. As long as Takeshita Noboru returns the bribes he received, he will still be a 'clean' politician!"
Yoshihiko Noda's tone was sarcastic; in Japan's tradition of underdogs overthrowing their superiors, these fallen figures are the best stepping stones for those who come after.
"That's it"
Yoshimura Otomo stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Naoki Nagayama had previously told him about the difficulties Tree Friends Capital was facing in the US, which prompted him to strengthen his political involvement. It seems that the Takeshita faction is still holding him back.
"What a pity. I, Noda-kun, was a rising star who could have brought a breath of fresh air to the current chaotic and corrupt political arena!"
Yoshimura Otomo's tone was provocative.
"But unexpectedly, the person at the center of the scandal is still able to remain in power in politics."
"Who says otherwise!" "Yeah, yeah." "The Japanese political scene has been ruined by those guys!"
Other young people, upon hearing Yoshimura Otomo's words, also chimed in with their complaints, each one filled with righteous indignation.
Even in Japan's political arena, young people have plenty of drive.
"They established the 'Takeshita Keiseikai' (Takeshita Society). It is only because they are united that they have such great power!"
"Yes, one person's strength is really too weak!" "But we are all newcomers, with no foundation and no faction's support."
"."
Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Otsutomo immediately spoke up:
"So what if they don't have factions? If they can establish the Jing Shi Hui (a political organization), then you young people can too!"
He looked at the group of somewhat drunk young people:
"Without factions within the party, we cannot form a united force! You can also help each other and work together!"
"Yes!" "We can too!" "Let's help each other!" "Brother Noda, let's form a club!" "We'll all follow your lead!"
Young people can unleash tremendous energy with the slightest provocation; Yoshimura Otomo's casual remark was enough to spark their idea of forming a faction.
It's no wonder these young people are like this. They grew up in an environment where clubs and organizations were rampant, and joining a club or organization has become a natural part of their lives.
And Noda Yoshihiko, who was their backbone, was also at the height of his career.
Encouraged by his younger brothers, he also had the idea of forming his own group:
"Thank you all for not abandoning me and for being willing to work together with me! From today onwards, we are brothers!!"
He picked up his wine glass and said to the group:
"Let's call this association the Brotherhood! As we grow stronger, we'll have more and more Brotherhoods!"
"Okay!!" XN
Yoshimura Otomo, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh at how easily the club had been formed. This laugh caught Noda Yoshihiko's attention:
"Oh, and there's Otomo-san! Otomo-san, if you don't mind, please join our 'brotherhood'!"
"Yes, Otomo-san!" "Minister Yoshimura!" "Come on, come on!"
“But…” Yoshimura Otomo never expected that the fire would spread to him, “But I’m already so old!”
"Haha, what does age matter!" Yoshihiko Noda laughed. "Otomo-san still has a youthful mindset! That's what a young person is like!"
"."
I'm actually a little touched!
Indeed, people who can work their way up from the bottom all have some kind of personal charisma!
At this time, Yoshimura Otomo was unaware of Noda Yoshihiko's achievements, but the fact that he was able to rise from a commoner to prime minister in the future showed that he was quite capable!
Yoshimura Otomo looked at this group of young people and was moved by their drive:
"Haha, then I'll join the Brotherhood, and I'll become the oldest brother!"
"Hahaha~"
Yoshihiko Noda clinked glasses with Otomo Yoshimura. He knew Yoshimura wouldn't go into politics, so he posed no threat to him. In fact, this only strengthened Yoshimura's bond with him.
"Then we'll have to ask Otomo-san to take care of us from now on!"
"Yes, yes~" "Thank you, Otomo-san!"
The other young people also came up to offer toasts, and the whole suite was filled with harmony.
Yoshimura Otomo unwittingly became one of the original members of the future famous "Brotherhood"!
At Tokyo Narita International Airport, a Boeing passenger plane bound for an international flight slowly lands.
After waiting for a long time, a bald, middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly walked out of the exit.
He looked around at the exit and sure enough, he saw the sign with his name on it, so he quickened his pace and walked over.
"Sakaguchi-san, congratulations on your return!"
Naoki Nagayama's personal driver, Tomoyasu Toda, is picking him up at the airport.
"Naoki-san sent me to pick you up!"
"Ah, Naoki-san sent you?"
Sakaguchi Masamichi looked utterly surprised as he followed Toda Tomoyasu into the Toyota Century.
"So, are we going to see Naoki-san now?"
"No"
Toda Tomoyasu shook his head in the driver's seat.
"Where should we go? Naoki-san, I'll leave it to you."
"Huh? Isn't Naoki-san going to see me right away?!"
Sakaguchi Masamichi's eyes widened. He was managing investments of hundreds of millions of yen in London! Shouldn't any company president check their investments immediately?!
"Don't worry. Naoki-san said that after being away from Japan for so long, there must be someone he wants to see the most, so I'm giving you a day off first. You can meet up at the Tree Friends Capital the day after tomorrow!"
We'll talk about other things later.
Toda Tomoyasu turned to Sakaguchi Masamichi and explained, then smiled at him.
"So, Sakaguchi-san, where is the place you most want to go right now?"
"I"
Sakaguchi Masamichi was stunned for a moment. He had naturally assumed that the first thing he would do upon returning was to see Nagayama Naoki.
Seeing Naoki-san's personal driver at the airport is clear proof that Naoki-san has always been paying attention to me!
To his surprise, Naoki-san actually sent his personal driver in a luxury car just to take him wherever he wanted to go?!
In that instant, his mind flashed to his office desk in Ginza, his favorite Japanese restaurant, and the dazzling lights of Roppongi.
However, in the end, what appeared in his mind was the entrance hall of his own apartment.
The shoe rack in the entryway, the noisy barking of the dog, and that "Welcome home!"
"I want to go home first!"
"it is good"
Toda Tomoyasu nodded and started the car.
This is already the second person he's picked up, and there will be two more tomorrow. Naoki Nagayama's task for him is to take all these people to where they want to go!
Sitting in the back row, Sakaguchi Masamichi was somewhat dazed, not because of how much money he had made for Nagayama Naoki.
It was because their own boss was surprisingly humane.
If someone were watching from a game perspective, they would definitely see the symbol "Loyalty +1 +1 +1 +1" constantly appearing above Sakaguchi Masamichi's head!
