My daily life with the original diva

Many strange labels have been attached to Hiroshi Kimura, such as being too young to manage the company, neglecting his duties, and only caring about love rather than his career.

Logically speaking, at this point, Kimura Hiroshi should come out and apologize, as this is a Japanese tradition. In reality, this matter would simply be resolved by Kimura Hiroshi admitting his mistake and acknowledging his mismanagement. However, who is Kimura Hiroshi? How could he possibly apologize in front of the media? He simply doesn't care.

He appeared on television as planned to promote his new film "Triangle," which he produced, and also announced to the media that he and his fiancée, Akina Nakamori, would soon be traveling abroad to take wedding photos, and that he might not be able to participate in any programs recently.

In short, he ignored the media's criticism of him, which was his tough stance. Naturally, this also brought him some negative effects. There's no way around it; ultimately, it was Kitano Takeshi and his group who were in the wrong. Kimura Hiroshi's attitude naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people.

It was at this moment that Takeshi Kitano stood up and spoke out for justice. Facing the media who were interviewing him, he did not avoid them, but instead launched into a tirade in front of them.

In his words, Hiroshi Kimura was a perfect president. He gave them enough freedom, and when they made mistakes, he bailed them out with money. When faced with media criticism, he didn't fire two of them to express his stance. If this isn't a good president, what is?

To be fair, Kitano Takeshi's words, once published, actually garnered a lot of goodwill towards Kimura Hiroshi among the employees, especially some middle-aged employees. They often took the blame for their superiors at work, which is a common workplace tradition in Japan. When superiors make mistakes, they push the blame onto their subordinates. A company president like Kimura Hiroshi, who actually helps deal with the mistakes of his subordinates, is truly a rare and excellent president.

It's not just the veteran employees; it's also true for those who are about to graduate and enter the workforce. Although the media always says that what Kimura Hiroshi did was wrong, which new employee doesn't like their company president to be able to protect their employees?

The ongoing debates in the media have kept Hiroshi Kimura's popularity high, which has also given his new film "Triangle" a lot of exposure. After all, when many media outlets speak ill of Hiroshi Kimura, they say that he is so busy promoting his new film that he refuses to apologize. This has attracted a lot of attention from the Japanese people, who are wondering what new film Hiroshi Kimura is currently promoting.

"I really didn't expect that Kimura-san's company scandal could actually boost the movie's popularity. Someone once told me that Kimura-san's hype tactics are top-notch. If I hadn't known the inside story, I probably would have thought that Kimura-san was creating a new marketing strategy." Fukada Yuya said with considerable satisfaction, looking at the recent promotional effect of the new movie.

In response, Hiroshi Kimura smiled and said, "Using scandals for publicity is the most foolish thing to do. I would never do such a thing. Besides, the main market for this film is not Japan. I have no intention of creating trouble for myself to promote it. By the way, how is the overseas promotion going, especially in America?"

"It's alright. Speaking of which, I have to thank Kimura-san. Thanks to your previous films like 'Léon: The Professional' and 'The Chase,' you've gained some recognition in the American market. When we mention your name, theaters are willing to give your new films a try, so there have been fewer difficulties," Fukada Yuya said with a hint of gratitude.

Although he wasn't particularly famous, the decent box office performance of his two films did leave an impression on the owners of cinemas in America. After all, those two films helped them make money, and they certainly have a deep memory of making money.

"Well, we've been lucky. Things have gone much more smoothly." Kimura Hiroshi hadn't expected to gain some fame in overseas cinemas; it really wasn't easy.

“Yes, it will be much smoother. However, they also hope that Kimura-san can go to America to promote it. I just don’t know if Kimura-san has time to go to America with Ms. Yasuko and the others to do some promotion. If possible, we can go to America in five days. Of course, if you don’t have time, then forget it.” Fukada Yuya asked uncertainly.

He also knew that Kimura Hiroshi had announced that he would be going on a trip to take wedding photos soon and must be very busy, so he only asked tentatively. If it didn't work out, Fukada Yuya naturally wouldn't dare to force it.

Touching his chin, Hiroshi Kimura said, "Going to America is not impossible, but I can only participate in the promotion for a maximum of three days. If it takes too long, it won't work."

Fukada Yu was surprised that Kimura Hiroshi agreed. Since Kimura Hiroshi was willing to go, no matter how many days it took, as long as he could go, that was fine. So he immediately said, "No problem, three days is enough. Other well-known directors and artists from America will help you with the promotion. Kimura-san just needs to cooperate."

They even invited celebrities from the American entertainment industry to help with the promotion. They really went all out. Kimura Hiroshi must have realized that Toho really didn't intend to make money from this movie; they really poured all their profits into it.

After discussing some details and finalizing the publicity campaign, Kimura Hiroshi left Toho's office building, got into his car, drove it out of the garage, and then took out his phone to call Nakamori Akina.

With a cell phone, communication became very convenient. After two rings, the call was answered, and then Nakamori Akina's voice came through. She asked with a smile, "Why are you calling me so early, Hiro-kun? Have you finished your work?"

"Well, I've finished work for today. I called to ask if you, Akina, would like to have dinner at the apartment or somewhere else?" Kimura Hiroshi asked.

When faced with the options proposed by Hiroshi Kimura, Akina Nakamori said she refused both: "I don't want either of them. Hiroshi, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking. You're off work so early today, how about you make some for me? I really want to eat it."

It's been a long time since I've cooked. I used to cook when I was busy, but now that I have more time, I cook much less. That shouldn't be the case. So, Kimura Hiroshi didn't refuse. Instead, he asked, "Okay, that's easy. So, Akina, what do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll prepare it for you when I get back."

"Ah, Hiro-kun agreed? Then I won't be polite! I want egg dumplings, ribs, and preferably seafood soup. As for vegetables, Hiro-kun can decide for me, I'm not eating them, hehe." Nakamori Akina said in a playful tone.

"You're really greedy, wanting to eat like this. Okay, I'll make you a big dinner today. When will Akina be back? I'll see if I have enough time. If not, I'll just have to make two dishes." What could Kimura Hiroshi do with his gluttonous girlfriend? He could only cook for her.

Akina Nakamori didn't answer immediately, but instead asked Ms. Noriko loudly before replying, "Two hours, plus the time to get back, it will be about two hours."

"Two hours? That should be enough time. I'll go back and get ready then." After hanging up the phone, Kimura Hiroshi drove home. He stopped at a Chinese supermarket to buy the necessary ingredients, then returned to his apartment, entered the kitchen, and began his work as the family chef.

None of the dishes were difficult to make, so it wasn't too much trouble to prepare them. In less than two hours, Hiroshi Kimura had made the Chinese food that Akina Nakamori wanted.

"Hmm, although it's been a long time since I've made this, it's still so good. It looks, smells, and tastes amazing. It's really great. Even if I weren't an entertainer, I could probably support myself as a chef." Kimura Hiroshi said with considerable pride as he looked at the dishes he had prepared.

“Indeed, if Hiroki were to become a chef, he would definitely be top-notch. Wow, it smells so good, it’s been so long since I’ve had this, I really miss it.” Just as Kimura Hiroki was feeling quite pleased with himself, Nakamori Akina’s voice suddenly came from the kitchen doorway. She also agreed with Kimura Hiroki’s statement.

Her sudden appearance at the kitchen door startled Kimura Hiroshi. He had no idea when Nakamori Akina had come in. Kimura Hiroshi said irritably, "You scared me. When did Akina come in? There wasn't a sound."

"Hehe, don't wrong me, Hiro-kun. I did tell you I was back when I came in, but you didn't hear me because you were in the kitchen. When I came in, I saw you working hard on the food and it really impressed me, so I didn't disturb you. I just watched you from the kitchen doorway until you finished cooking before I spoke." Nakamori Akina said with a slightly sly smile as she entered the kitchen.

What he said seemed to make no problem, but Kimura Hiro felt that this girl had noticed that he was taking it too seriously, so she was deliberately trying to scare him from behind. Watching Nakamori Akina smelling the aroma of the dishes one by one, Kimura Hiro also got mischievous and suddenly hugged Nakamori Akina from behind.

His sudden action startled Nakamori Akina, who trembled slightly. She turned around, pouted, and asked, "What are you doing, Hiro-kun? You suddenly hugged me and startled me."

"Oh, so Akina can be scared too. I thought you wouldn't," Kimura Hiroshi said with a teasing smile.

Sensing Kimura Hiroshi's tone, Nakamori Akina felt that her fiancé was perfect in every way, except that he could be a bit vengeful at times, but also quite adorable. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, alright, it was my fault. Now that Hiroshi-kun has been scared back, aren't we even? Now, shall we go and enjoy this delicious meal?"

"Well, it's not that it's impossible, but I've worked really hard making so many dishes today, so shouldn't Akina give me a reward?" Kimura Hiroshi said with a hint of malice.

Every time Kimura Hiro said "reward," Nakamori Akina knew something bad was about to happen. Now, in this small corner of the kitchen, with Kimura Hiro hugging her from behind, it felt even more awkward. Her face turned red rapidly, and she said anxiously, "No, not here, absolutely not! I won't agree! Hiro-kun is really wicked!"

Seeing Akina Nakamori's embarrassed look, Hiroshi Kimura knew exactly what she was thinking, but he didn't think that way at all. The kitchen had just finished cooking dinner, and everything was greasy. It would be really unhygienic to cook anything there. Hiroshi Kimura had absolutely no such thoughts.

Seeing Akina Nakamori like this, Hiroshi Kimura couldn't help but tease her, saying, "What is Akina thinking? The reward I mentioned is this, but Akina is thinking about that. She always says I'm bad, but I think Akina is thinking even worse than me."

Pointing to his lips, Hiroshi Kimura meant that all he wanted was a kiss, but Akina Nakamori's idea was even more outrageous.

Seeing Kimura Hiro's smug look, Nakamori Akina was furious, but she didn't explode. She twisted Kimura Hiro's arm away, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, then picked up the bowl of egg dumplings and ran out. When she got to the kitchen door, she couldn't help but turn back and say, "I'll go back after dinner tonight. Hiro-kun, you can sleep alone, hmph."

This made Nakamori Akina angry, and she didn't want to stay overnight. But Kimura Hiroshi wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he said, "Oh, is that so? I've already started planning our travel wedding photoshoot. We'll go to America and Hawaii to shoot in five days. I was originally thinking of discussing the plans with Akina tonight, but it seems that Akina really doesn't want to hear it."

The plan to take wedding photos in a destination wedding was the thing that Akina Nakamori was most concerned about recently. As expected, the impact of Hiro Kimura's words was considerable. Akina Nakamori's head reappeared at the kitchen doorway a few seconds after he finished speaking, and she said, "Ah, it seems that the water heater in my apartment is broken, so I'll have to borrow Hiro-kun's water heater to take a shower today. I think that's okay?"

"Hehe, little brat, you're no match for me at all," Kimura Hiro thought smugly, then replied, "No problem, Akina can use the apartment's water heater however she wants, there's absolutely no issue. But let's have dinner first, we should enjoy this delicious food properly."

Chapter 603 He's Really Terrible

"Wow, it's been so long since I've had Hongjun's Chinese food! Today is such a lucky day! Well then, I won't be polite, let's dig in!"

Faced with delicious food, Nakamori Akina, a foodie, couldn't resist. She made a rather exaggerated gesture and quickly picked up an egg dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth.

Chewing slowly, a satisfied expression appeared on her face. She said, "It's so delicious! The meat filling has a very rich meaty aroma and a fresh taste. Combined with the freshness of the eggs, it's really delicious. You can't find this flavor in supermarkets. Hongjun is truly top-notch."

She even gave Kimura Hiroshi a thumbs up as she ate her fill, and she was very generous with her praise.

Kimura Hiroshi responded with an air of self-righteousness, saying, "Of course! The egg dumplings in supermarkets are all frozen, and who knows what kind of meat the filling is made of? How can they compare to the ones I make fresh? Come on, try the ribs again."

Some people enjoy the food they make, which is quite satisfying for the maker. If it weren't for Akina Nakamori's completely satisfied performance, Hiroshi Kimura's motivation to make food would probably be reduced by more than half.

The egg dumplings were delicious, and Akina Nakamori also thought the spare ribs were very tasty. The seafood soup was just as good. It's just that she doesn't like vegetables. She used to eat a little, but as she's gotten older, she's become more and more picky about food. Kimura Hiroshi has to force her to eat any vegetables. She's really evolving into a pure carnivore.

After dinner, Nakamori Akina quite consciously started clearing the dishes. This was an unspoken agreement between her and Kimura Hiroshi. Unless she was really too tired to move, Kimura Hiroshi would do the whole cooking and washing process by himself.

However, while Nakamori Akina went to wash the dishes, Kimura Hiroshi didn't sit idle either. He turned on the TV and then got some fruit. Since his fiancée didn't like eating vegetables, he could only make up for it by eating fruit.

When Akina Nakamori finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out, Hiroshi Kimura was already waiting for her at the kitchen door, holding an apple in his hand.

"If you don't eat vegetables, you should eat fruit, so your body won't lack the various elements it needs," Kimura Hiroshi said, handing an apple to Nakamori Akina.

Nakamori Akina patted the water droplets off her hands and took the apple, but couldn't help muttering, "Hiro looks very young, but he's actually like an old man and cares a lot about his health."

"Of course, how can you enjoy life without a healthy body? So besides eating fruit, I've also decided to take you for a walk. You ate a lot earlier and need to relax a bit." Kimura Hiroshi didn't mind calling himself old at all; on the contrary, he readily admitted it and even offered to take Nakamori Akina for a walk.

Akina Nakamori had no choice but to let Hiroshi Kimura make the arrangements. Although she said she hated it, she actually enjoyed Hiroshi Kimura's care and arrangements. So she just said it and did whatever Hiroshi Kimura told her to do.

After changing their shoes and eating apples, the two of them took the elevator down to their apartment building. It was rush hour, and many Japanese people were heading home, so there were quite a few people on the street. However, most of them were in a hurry and no one would notice Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina.

"It's so cold! It's already February and it's still this cold. I don't really want to go for a walk anymore. Shall we go back, Hiro-kun?" As soon as they came downstairs, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Nakamori Akina immediately perked up. She didn't want to walk anymore because it was a bit cold.

Turning around, Kimura Hiroshi tightened Nakamori Akina's trench coat and said, "Now that we've gone downstairs, we have to walk around a bit before we can go back. And it's not that cold, the temperature is at least five or six degrees."

He had checked the weather forecast; if the temperature was too low, he wouldn't have brought Nakamori Akina down, because she was sickly and had a very weak immune system. Taking her out for a walk at night in such low temperatures would easily make her catch a cold, and once she did, it would be a severe one.

"It's still cold. Unless Hiro-kun hugs me and wraps his arm around me like this, hmm, he's definitely a man. His body temperature is quite high, and that makes me feel much better." Still feeling cold, Nakamori Akina pulled Kimura Hiro's arm over and let him hug her.

With a height of over 1.85 meters, he could easily half-hug Nakamori Akina, who was only 1.63 meters tall. It was as if she was hiding under Kimura Hiroshi's armpit, and she certainly wasn't cold at all.

This made Kimura Hiroshi quite uncomfortable, but he didn't care. He put his arm around Nakamori Akina and walked forward. This kind of pose was quite eye-catching, so Kimura Hiroshi had to lower his head to avoid being recognized.

"It's been a long time since we last went for a walk, it feels like several months," Kimura Hiroshi recalled. Last year they were very busy, and this year they went on vacation overseas, so it had been a long time since they had taken a walk together.

"Hmm, the last time was last September, I remember it clearly. It was still a bit hot then, and Hiroki insisted on dragging me down. I was covered in sweat when we came back." Nakamori Akina's memory for the details of their interactions was clearly much better than Kimura Hiroki's; she remembered many details that Kimura Hiroki didn't think were important.

I didn't expect it to have been so long. The main reason for this is that we haven't had time. However, if we want to go out together in the future, the intervals shouldn't be so long, because they will have plenty of time to do this kind of after-dinner activity in the future.

"If you have time in the future, you should come down for a walk more often. There's a Chinese saying, 'Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and you'll live to ninety-nine.' So, you should take a walk," Kimura Hiroshi suggested.

Looking up, Akina Nakamori glanced meaningfully at Hiroshi Kimura, seemingly unable to contain her curiosity any longer, and asked, "Hiro-kun seems to know a lot about Chinese culture, and you also really enjoy watching Hong Kong movies, but it seems like there's no such tradition in your family. How did you come to have such a hobby?"

Akina Nakamori initially thought that Hiroshi Kimura's knowledge of Chinese culture came from his family, but in reality, there was virtually no trace of Chinese culture in Kimura's home. Furthermore, she knew that Kimura had shown no interest in Chinese culture until high school. She didn't know why, but it seemed that after coming to Tokyo, he developed a deep appreciation for Chinese culture, including its movies, food, and customs.

But when she asked, Kimura Hiroshi didn't know how to answer, because there was no way to answer. So Kimura Hiroshi said mysteriously, "It's a secret, so I can't tell Akina."

"What secret?" Nakamori Akina pouted, somewhat unhappy. She wanted to know everything about Kimura Hiroshi, but after spending so much time together, she could still sense that Kimura Hiroshi was hiding many things, and she simply had no way of finding out.

Being thoughtful and observant isn't always a good thing, at least not at this moment. Although Nakamori Akina had many questions, she didn't ask them.

"What are your plans for taking wedding photos in America in five days, Hong-kun? Are you going to Hawaii first?" Not wanting to continue discussing this issue, Nakamori Akina changed the subject and asked.

Because some things were really hard to say, Akina Nakamori was willing to change the subject and not ask too many questions. Hiroshi Kimura naturally picked up the thread immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go to America first. I have some work to do there. Then we'll go to Hawaii."

But his answer caused a problem. Nakamori Akina stopped and asked, "So, Hiro-kun was going to America for work, and you took me along to take wedding photos?"

Uh, Kimura Hiroshi noticed that Nakamori Akina's tone had changed. This was a very crucial question. The question was actually asking whether work was more important or she was more important. Kimura Hiroshi naturally knew this all too well, and he immediately replied, "How could that be? It's because we're taking wedding photos, so I also agreed to some movie promotion requests from Toho. Taking a set of wedding photos in America was a plan we finalized a few days ago, but going to America for work was something I only agreed to with Toho yesterday."

After some recollection, Akina Nakamori confirmed that this was indeed the case. Since she couldn't decide which places in the world to take wedding photos, Akina could only first determine the places she would definitely go. The first places she decided on were America and Hawaii, especially Hawaii, which Akina Nakamori really liked.

"I see. Well, that's fine then. But won't this affect Hiro's work?" Nakamori Akina continued walking forward, indicating that she was quite satisfied with Kimura Hiro's answer.

Continuing to hold Akina Nakamori, Kimura Hiroshi tightened his grip and said, "It's alright. The work will be finished in three days, and then we can film according to our own ideas. By the way, besides America, has Akina confirmed anything about the other places? If not, the wedding will have to take place."

Akina Nakamori was also conflicted about this. There were so many places she wanted to go, making it too painful for her to make a decision. She said, "Hiro-kun, there are so many places I want to go: America, Barcelona in Europe, Panama in South America, Hokkaido, the pyramids in Africa, and even China, which you like so much. I actually want to go to all of them, but there are just too many places, and I might not have enough time."

Indeed, these places are located all over the country, and it's fortunate that large commercial aircraft are now fully developed. If it were a few years earlier, it would have been impossible to travel all over the country to take pictures like this, and it would be a very troublesome thing now.

Sensing Akina Nakamori's longing, Hiroshi Kimura stroked his chin and said, "Actually, we don't necessarily have to go to all these places before the wedding. Don't forget, we also have a post-wedding trip. After the wedding, we can go to other places we want to go for reshoots."

"Yes, we can go after we get married. Even though we're married, we can still take wedding photos. Why am I so conflicted?" Nakamori Akina was suddenly enlightened by Kimura Hiroshi's words. She reached out and hugged Kimura Hiroshi's waist, saying, "Ah, Hiroshi-kun is so smart. He figured it out right away. Before, I was still struggling with where to go and where not to go."

"Hehe, admit it, Akina is a little silly, she still needs a smart fiancé like me." Kimura Hiroshi said with a chuckle, tapping Akina Nakamori's delicate nose.

Although she was indeed not very smart, Nakamori Akina didn't like Kimura Hiro calling her stupid. She knew that Kimura Hiro was so smart, and if she were too stupid, wouldn't they be mismatched? So she pouted and wanted to bite the finger that Kimura Hiro used to tap her nose.

However, Kimura Hiroshi was looking down and had been paying close attention to Nakamori Akina's expression. How could he let her succeed? When he saw her open her mouth as if to bite, he immediately pulled his hand back. Then, seeing that he hadn't managed to bite Nakamori Akina, he immediately tapped her nose.

He teased Nakamori Akina several times until she finally couldn't take it anymore. She let go of Kimura Hiroshi's hand and tried to grab his hand to trap him and bite him.

However, Kimura Hiroshi, who was on guard, was not so easy to deal with. He felt Nakamori Akina loosen her grip and immediately took two steps back, saying, "Akina, this is cheating. How can you make a move? This is not a fair fight."

"What fair competition? Hiro-kun is so tall and big, how could I possibly be his match? So it can only be unfair. Stop right there, or I'll bite you and let you point at me." Nakamori Akina said as she lunged at Kimura Hiro, trying to bite his fingers.

"Damn it, she actually copied Kenta and tried to bite someone else's hand. I'll teach her a lesson." Facing the lunging Nakamori Akina, Kimura Hiroshi didn't dodge this time. Just as Nakamori Akina lunged into his arms to bite his hand, he suddenly opened his arms, one hand under Nakamori Akina's armpit and the other under her thigh. He squatted down slightly and picked up the smiling Nakamori Akina in one swift motion.

Unexpectedly, Kimura Hiroshi did this. Nakamori Akina gasped in surprise as Kimura Hiroshi suddenly picked her up.

"Hehe, some big stars really don't pay attention to their image in public. To prevent any accidents from happening, I have to control her a bit. If she wants to go crazy, she can do it at home. It won't work here. Once she's home, the big star can do whatever she wants. I, her weak assistant, can only silently endure it." Kimura Hiroshi pretended to be very aggrieved.

But this only made Nakamori Akira grit her teeth. When she got home, she was no match for Kimura Hiroshi. At home, Kimura Hiroshi would definitely use inappropriate methods to deal with her, leaving her with no power to resist. At that time, she would have no choice but to let Kimura Hiroshi do as he pleased. That guy was really wicked.
