Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapters 1469 and 1478: Those who can attend Hua Jiang's birthday celebration are all her deare

Yoshimura Daitomo, unusually, didn't go to the club last night. This morning, he arrived at the Tree Friends Building full of energy and then efficiently completed the review of the accumulated tasks.

"All right!"

With the last document completed, Yoshimura Otomo handed it to his administrative assistant, Hayano Riko.

"Riko-chan, are all today's reports here?!"

"Hi!"

Hayano Riko nodded.

"However, a new batch is coming soon."

"Damn it! Damn it! Riko-chan, I'm so old, you can't treat me like a donkey!"

Yoshimura Otomo was joking with his assistant.

"Let's skip it today, I have something to do later! Let's deal with it together tomorrow~"

"Oh, it's Naoki's family's birthday party, right? I heard it's on Jurassic Island?"

Riko Hayano sighed. She really wanted to participate, but she wasn't qualified!

Although he is considered a veteran employee of Shuyou, he is ultimately an employee of the General Affairs Department and is not important enough within the Shuyou Group to be able to enter the core circle.

"Ha, yes!"

Yoshimura Otomo nodded, then, seeing Hayano Riko's somewhat disappointed expression, offered some words of comfort.

"Because it's quite far, we can't invite too many people. Riko-chan will have another chance later!"

The chances are slim, but some might require decades of loyalty. Or, why not just marry someone who can get into the circle?

"Hi!"

Riko Hayano, a seasoned working woman, naturally wouldn't be saddened by such a small matter for long. She asked:

"Aren't you leaving yet, Otomo-san?"

"Ah, I'm waiting for Shuichi-san, then we'll go together."

The two of them made arrangements, and their families would then travel by plane. Although it wasn't a private jet, chartering a small to medium-sized aircraft was still possible.

Naoki Nagayama may have a private jet, but he needs to go to Jurassic Island in the morning and pick up his family in Shizuoka. He can't very well have his private jet fly back to pick up his friends.

Thinking about this, Yoshimura Daitomo's mind started racing:

"Speaking of which, our artist 'Tree Buddy' is so grown up now, and his artists are flying all over the place, shouldn't he consider buying a private jet?"

"."

Hayano Riko's eyes widened in surprise.

"If you're flying, Otomo-san, it's cheaper to just buy a ticket directly, right?!"

"Even if an artist flies hundreds of times a year, the cost of tickets for a private jet wouldn't exceed the cost of the aircraft, right?!"

Hearing his subordinate say this, Yoshimura Daitomo's head, which had just been a little feverish, finally calmed down.

Private jets are not like cars. Although the initial investment is not small, the maintenance costs are much higher, and only the very wealthy can afford them!

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding."

Just as Yoshimura Otomo and Hayano Riko were talking, Itō Shuichi walked in, looking travel-worn.

"Otomo-san, let's go! Yoshimi and the others have already gone to the airport."

He also rushed over after quickly finishing his business!

"Ariko-chan is here too."

“Sashibuli, Xiu Yisang.”

Shuichi Itō has been out of politics for quite some time now. Although he still has an office, Riko Hayano hasn't seen him for a long time either.

"Mmm. Are you coming too?"

"."

Hayano Riko's smile was a little stiff. Why does Shuichi always poke at people's sore spots?

"It's a private Marseille, I wasn't invited."

"Haha, there will definitely be opportunities in the future!"

Shuichi Itō was embarrassed and could only turn his head and laugh, looking at the sunlight outside the window.

"It's so hot today!"

"Alright, alright. Riko-chan, go to work. We'll talk about this when I get back!"

Yoshimura Otomo smoothed things over, stood up, and walked out with Itō Shuichi.

"Let's go. Let's set off. We should be able to get there before noon!"

"Good~"

The two walked out of the Tree Friends Building together and followed the driver toward Narita Airport.

Jurassic Island was already brightly decorated and bustling with activity!

The few tourists who were invited to the "internal testing" all thought that some kind of large-scale celebration or event was going to be held on the island!

Actually, this was specially prepared by Horikawa Takuto, the director of Jurassic Park. Although the eldest daughter's birthday party was only held at a resort hotel, they would definitely go out for a stroll afterward, and this was all to give Naoki Nagayama a better impression.

As soon as she got off the plane, Huajiang became excited.

"Even Huajiang recognized this place."

Naoki Nagayama came down carrying little Ren's baby basket. Seeing Hana-chan being led by Akina, so lively she looked like a little animal, he smiled and said...

"Remember watching the fireworks show here?"

"Hi~~"

Xia Hua nodded happily.

"Dad, will we be able to see it today?"

"It should be possible."

Although this activity wasn't planned for today's birthday party, the park regularly puts on a fireworks show, so all we need to do is give a heads-up.

After the whole family disembarked, Naoki Nagayama said to Captain Kazuhiko Suda:

"Next, I'd like to ask you to go to the airport in Shimizu City and pick up my family!"

"That's my job!"

Suda Kazuhiko also bowed very seriously. He only worked a few times a month and received a large sum of extra money. It was only natural for him to pick up his boss's relatives!

Upon arriving at the terminal, Naoki Nagayama saw Takuto Horikawa waiting for him, along with Shinichiro Matsumura, the manager of the resort hotel.

"Naoki-san, welcome to Jurassic Park!"

Horikawa Takuto warmly welcomed his boss, and of course, he didn't overlook the others either.

"Akina-san, you must be tired from your journey. Hana-chan, you must be tired too."

Finally, look at the baby basket that Naoki Nagayama is carrying:

"This must be Naoki-san's son, Nagayama Ren!"

"Ah, this is the first time I've met Horikawa-san."

Naoki Nagayama briefly showed him Little Ren's face.

He fell asleep on the plane.

At this moment, Hua Jiang interjected:

"My little brother is always sleeping! He sleeps for ages every day! He's so lazy!"

Around age 2 is a period of rapid language development. After learning new words, the little one always wants to use them, and this time it's the word "lazy."

Akina tapped her head:

"When Huajiang was this age, she was also a big sleeper!"

"Haha, kids need to sleep a lot to grow up!"

Horikawa Takuto skillfully smoothed things over and then led the group toward the tour bus.

While on the way, they were still introducing it:

"Naoki-san, there are still some visitors in the park today. The park's facilities are all in place and it's ready to open at any time!"

Actually, if Naoki Nagayama hadn't requested a postponement, the park might have opened in early August!

"And these decorations are to celebrate Hana-chan's birthday."

"Haha, that's so thoughtful!"

Some tourists didn't mind, since they weren't there for a birthday party!

Those who could attend Hua Jiang's birthday celebration were all his closest and dearest friends and family!

At this moment, Hua Jiang was looking at her outfit, which was quite different from before, with great curiosity. The closer they got to the resort hotel, the stronger the birthday atmosphere became.

There was even a cute dinosaur statue holding birthday candles, and an inflatable archway at the hotel's main entrance with the words "Happy Birthday, Hana-chan!"

"Does Huajiang recognize the words on it?"

Akina hugged the little one and said to her.

"It says above, 'Happy Birthday, Hana-chan!'"

Really?! Haha~

The little guy was very talkative, but completely illiterate. He spoke to the cartoon-style statues on either side of him:

"Arigato~"

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby, Shinichiro Matsumura solicitously carried his luggage.

"Naoki-san, your presidential suite is still available. There are no other guests at the hotel for the next couple of days!"

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

With that, he led the family to the suite so they could rest for a while; the birthday party wouldn't start until noon!

As time went by, more and more people started visiting Jurassic Park!

First to arrive were Naoki Nagayama's parents and older brother's family, whom he picked up by private jet. Next came Genta Nakai, Otomo Yoshimura, Shuichi Itō, and others who arrived by chartered plane. Finally, Chieko and others from Akina's side arrived.

Soon, several children appeared in the resort hotel.

The oldest, Shota, played with Ai, Nogusa, Hana-chan, and others of similar age in the small garden next to the hotel, while the younger ones, such as Togo, Sayuri, and Ren, chatted with their female relatives.

Meanwhile, the older children, such as Itako and Izumi, who were already in school, were quieter, watching DVDs on the hotel's TV.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina naturally took care of the guests!

"Brother Feng, you must be tired from your journey!"

"Haha, Dai Jiaobu, it's very convenient for me to come here from Osaka where I'm discussing cooperation."

Nagayama Kaede laughed heartily.

"And Xinhai really wants to see the park she helped design again."

"Haha, Jurassic Park is open now, so we can come and play anytime!"

On the other side, Nagayama Aoki walked over:

"Naoki, I've been thinking about this since last time you came. I even brought my fishing gear this time. Want to go fishing together?!"

Kyoka Nagayama, who was standing next to him, angrily slapped him:

"Naoki has to greet the guests!"

"Oh, that's right! I'll go first then!"

Now that he's married and a landlord, Nagayama Aoki no longer has the pressure to make money or be pressured to get married, and can focus more on his hobby of sea fishing!

"I'll go check on him in Marseille. Otherwise, he'll forget the time!"

The eldest sister-in-law, Kika Nagayama, shares similar interests with her eldest brother, Aoki, except that she prefers seafood.

"Haha. Birds of a feather flock together!"

Kaede Nagayama smiled, then asked Naoki Nagayama,

"Where is Tsuruko?"

"Tsuruko is in seclusion at the Abeyōin Temple in Kyoto; she should be able to make it."

I had her take care of the child for a whole day before, and then, as agreed, I gave her the right to use the Red Fish Garden. I heard she's been there for half a month now. I wonder what she's creating.

"Sigh, I hope it's not some BL comic!"

"Naoki-san! Don't talk nonsense!"

Akina gently nudged him.

"Tsuruko is so grown up and has a boyfriend!"

"Okay, okay."

Girls who suddenly become wealthy during their university years, having earned their place through hard work and now enjoying freedom through unexpected riches, often feel empty and are prone to developing an artistic or bohemian lifestyle.

Amidst this commotion, more and more people came to Jurassic Island.

In the Diet Building, Yoshihiko Noda excitedly arrived at the office of the "Cultural Policy Research Office".

"Xiu Yisang."

After pushing open the office door, but not finding Itō Shuichi, he inquired,

"Is Xiu-san out on official business?"

Upon hearing his question, Matsuno Kazuma replied:

"Shuichi-san has taken leave. Is there anything I can do for you, Representative Noda? I can pass on your message."

"Ah, it's just about discussing the upcoming congressional presentation."

Yoshihiko Noda had thought of a new direction for the debate and wanted to discuss with Shuichi Itō whether it could be used, but he ended up empty-handed.

"Matsuno-san, do you know what Shuichi-san went to do?"

He asked, still somewhat unwilling,

When will you be back?

"It'll probably be tomorrow."

Matsuno Kazuma shook his head.

"Shuichi-san went to the Nagayama family's daughter's birthday party."

"Is it Natsuka Nagayama's birthday?"

Yoshihiko Noda subconsciously clenched his fist. He didn't even invite him?

He had also attended the full moon celebration of the eldest son of the Nagayama family, but that banquet was attended by almost half of Japan's upper class, and was considered a public publicity event.

While Nagayama Natsuka's birthday celebration wasn't a big affair, those attending were mostly the closest people surrounding Nagayama Naoki.

It was even closer than the rumored cherry blossom viewing party, because although there was some overlap, the cherry blossom viewing party was a gathering of core interest groups, while the daughter's birthday party was a gathering of closer relatives and friends!

At this moment, Yoshihiko Noda was silently pondering:

"Does this mean that even a member of parliament like me, who has almost clearly taken sides, is still not considered part of Naoki Nagayama's innermost circle?!"

"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

"Noda-san?"

Matsuno Kazuma looked at the silent Representative Noda with some confusion.

"Is there anything you need me to convey?"

"Oh dear, I'll come back later."

With that, Yoshihiko Noda left, looking rather dejected.

"That's strange."

Matsuno Kazuma and the person next to him, Tagami Masamizu, remarked,

"Why does it sound like I've lost a battle just because I heard Shuichi went to a birthday party? It's just a birthday party, isn't it?"

"Haha, maybe the birthday cake was delicious."

Haha, that's true.

Inside the resort hotel on Jurassic Island, as everyone sang "Happy Birthday to You" in unison, a huge and exquisite birthday cake was slowly pushed out!

Having changed into her little dress and wearing a crown, Xiaoxia looked like a little princess, both happy and excited.

"Flower Jam, come on, let's blow out the candles!"

Naoki Nagayama stood in front of the cake, holding the little one.

"But before you blow the whistle, close your eyes and make a wish!"

"Um"

The little one closed his eyes very carefully, then opened them again.

"I've made my promise!"

"So fast?!"

Tsuruko, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise.

"What is your wish?"

A child this young wouldn't say something that won't come true if she did. How can her parents make it happen if she doesn't ask?

"I want a big piece of cake! I want to eat it tomorrow too!! Mom can't disagree!!"

Xiaoxia said earnestly, after all, Akina takes her snack restrictions very seriously!

"."

The room fell silent for a moment, then everyone burst into laughter!

The little guy's wish is really simple!

"Haha, looks like we really need to eat it!" "The cake looks delicious!"

Tsuruko was still standing there, annoyed by his lack of ambition:

"Why doesn't Hua Jiang wish that she can eat cake every day from now on?! Then Mom will have to agree!"

However, as soon as Tsuruko said this, her mother Nanako immediately pulled her aside:

"Tsuruko, don't corrupt Hana-chan!"

"."

Laughter rang out continuously, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina were also smiling, and then let the little one use a cake knife to cut the biggest piece of cake and put it on her plate!

Then, he took the cake knife and began cutting the cake. First the children, then the women, then the elders, and finally the men.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to Hana-chan's birthday party!"

"Those who are here today are all dearest friends and family. I hope everyone can put aside their usual anxieties and fully enjoy this warm moment!"

The fragrant and sweet cakes were passed among the guests, and then various delicacies were brought out from the hotel kitchen.

Naoki Nagayama had no intention of mentioning anything about his career or business; the birthday party was a relaxed and enjoyable affair.

Even Nishimoto Tomoyuki and Matsuo Muneo were quite satisfied at this moment, as they had finally made an appearance in front of the young lady and young master, even though Little Ren couldn't remember their faces at all.

"Oh, right, I heard there's a light show on Jurassic Island at night."

Nishimoto Banyuki said,

"Matsuo-kun, have you seen it?"

"No."

Muneo Matsuo shook his head. He came to this island back when he was filming "Jurassic Park"!

"Let's take a look tonight!"

"Okay~"
