Tokyo: Starting from staying with my mother’s best friend

Chapter 71 How many evils has my mother done (two in one)

While Ionuma Isao was going through an intense and exciting test, Hanashiro Kyoko, who was far away in Hachioji City, suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart.

She put down the file and rubbed her eyes.

...My heart is beating so hard.

It felt like something important was half taken away.

Could it be that something happened to Axun?
This thought came to mind subconsciously. Huacheng Kyoko put down the document and looked out the window in the direction of Tokyo, her thoughts drifting to where the boy was.

The night outside the window is quiet.

The sound of children's scooters came from nowhere, and in the distance of the deep night, there were one or two stars twinkling faintly.

"He is so powerful, he will be fine..."

The old aunt comforted herself, and then laughed lightly. The warmth gradually seeped out and flowed from her body to her limbs.

My toes, which are always cold even in summer, are gradually getting warmer.

Time passed a little.

Huacheng Kyoko felt hungry, so she came to the small sofa next to her and ate a cheap bento such as udon and chicken and egg rice bowl.

Although the taste is not delicious, she can now taste the original taste of the food even without relying on Iinuma Izun. As she eats, she thinks gratefully: "This is also one of the gifts that Iinuma gave me."

After dinner, she took a nap on the sofa.

The moist evening breeze with the flavor of spring blew in and brushed her hair and body. She looked at the night outside the window, and her white and tender fingers gently stroked between her equally white toes.

Axun likes these feet very much...

The old aunt gently stroked the big toe of her right foot, recalling the time when the toe touched the boy's lips, and gradually a sweet and sad pain slowly spread from the toe to all parts of the body.

For her, this period was an exciting time that symbolized all taboo transgressions.

Even if he has made up his mind to end this ambiguous relationship, what Axun did to him will probably remain in his heart for the rest of his life, and will always bring him a sweet, sad, and bitter aftertaste.

"Does the dignified mistress of the Huacheng family worry about gains and losses like a little girl..."

A cold voice suddenly came from the door, with a hint of ridicule in it.

Huacheng Kyoko quickly straightened her kimono, stood up and looked over.

She was wearing a black kimono with chrysanthemum patterns, her hair was in a neat bun, and her temperament looked graceful and dignified.

However, the people who came in could overwhelm her in terms of momentum.

A tall and plump beauty, with skin as tender as cream, and a beauty mark like a dot in the corner of her right eye. She has red lips and phoenix eyes, and a majestic expression that cannot be looked directly at. She naturally reveals a queen-like maternal demeanor when changing expressions. The nobility of the world.

She is wearing a bright red kimono.

The skirt of her skirt touched the floor and was embroidered with blossoming cherry blossoms, which made her skin fairer and more delicate.

It's hard to tell her age, but she looks young and beautiful in her twenties, and has the mature charm of her forties.

But even if she is 40 years old, you can tell by looking at her energetic face that her plump and graceful body must still retain the energy and desire of a young woman... Age is very important to such a beautiful and enchanting woman. In other words, it's just a number.

"Sister Qingji, good evening." Huacheng Xingzi greeted, his eyes falling on her red skirt.

Those pink cherry blossom petals seemed to come alive and turned into pink butterflies flying.

Facing the greetings from her best friend, Hatsugano Kiyohime nodded lightly: "Long time no see, good evening."

As the quasi-mistress of the largest chaebol group in the country, she is the most powerful woman in Japan today. Most people would not bother to meet her, let alone visit her in person.

Huacheng Xingzi said jokingly: "Sometimes I really think you are a monster..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Hatsugano Kiyohime reminded him with a clear voice that sounded like the impact of ice cubes. Then he immediately changed the subject and asked: "You are so anxious to see me. Is there something urgent?"

"Sit down, have a sip of tea, and chat slowly." Huacheng Xingzi invited her to sit down and made a pot of tea with her own hands.

Chu Luye Qingji was sipping her tea and looking at her.

Kyoko's long, glossy black hair was styled into a smart Western-style bun and elegantly tied behind her head; deep in her calm eyes, there seemed to be some kind of firm determination, which could make people impressed by her magnanimity.

During their college days, with Miss Xun as the eldest sister, they had a small group of five best friends... Kyoko was the one with the most ordinary family background and ability among the five.

Huacheng Xingzi made tea, sat upright, and said softly: "I called my sister here this time because I want to find out about your group's preparations to build a new industrial park..."

"So that's what happened." Hatsugano Kiyohime smiled.

"The three-year ban on our family is about to end, so I would like to ask Sister Qingji, has our group finalized the contractor for the industrial park?"

Huacheng Xingzi asked lightly, her voice was like the drizzle of summer.

This voice full of feminine charm can make every listener sink into it, regardless of gender.

"It's not confirmed yet. Do you want to bid?" Hatsugano Kiyohime asked calmly, showing no emotion. "There are many large companies participating in the bidding, and the bidding process is also extremely strict. With the current strength of Huacheng Construction, I am afraid that even You are not eligible to participate in any conference that participates in the bidding..."

in business.

Even though the other party was her best friend, she didn't show mercy.

"I have no intention of bidding."

Huacheng Kyoko gave an unexpected answer, which made Hatsugano Kiyohime frown.

"I invited you here just because I want you to directly agree to hand over the project to me." Huacheng Xingzi said straight to the point.

"So, you are planning to use our friendship?" Hatsugano Kiyohime's narrow eyes slowly narrowed, "If you open your mouth, I will naturally not refuse. But if you want it, no matter how good it is, Our friendship should not be abused without any bottom line... I originally thought that you would ask me for help with the Red Snapper Group. That is something I am happy to help you with, and it will not damage our friendship. But I I didn’t expect that if you would bring up our friendship in this matter to get me to agree, my inner feelings would be another matter..."

She also occupies a high position, and her status is even more noble than Huacheng Xingzi.

Therefore, the aura she releases is much stronger than Huacheng Kyoko.

However, in the face of such heavy pressure, the old aunt's expression remained unchanged, remained calm and calm, and her voice remained calm: "Sister Qingji, you misunderstood. I don't want to use our friendship to influence your decision."

Hatsukano Kiyohime raised her eyebrows in interest: "Huh?"

"I exchanged 20% of the equity of Huacheng Construction for this opportunity to win the bid, and I guarantee that the project price will never be higher than the average market price." Huacheng Xingzi's eyes reflected the noble face of her best friend, and said solemnly: "With these 20 % of the equity as a bargaining chip, it is just an exchange of interests between us, and there is no transaction of affection. It is not higher than the average market price, and it prevents you from being gossiped about. What do you think of this proposal? "

For a moment, Hatsugano Kiyohime was shocked by her bold words.

Although Huacheng Construction has been in serious decline over the past two years and its assets have shrunk by more than half, its 20% equity is still worth 600 to [-] billion yen. Using this as an additional gift in the transaction is indeed difficult to refuse. .After thinking for a while, Hatsuro Ye Qingji frowned and asked: "Why bet so big?"

"I had to give in and find a chance to stand up again."

In the evening breeze, Huacheng Xingzi smiled lightly. There was no trace of reluctance on her expression, but she was full of confidence. "After the ban period, Huacheng Construction is still a highly suspected and tainted enterprise. This situation will be very likely within three to five years." It is difficult to turn around. If you want to bid for any project, you can only bid at a very low price and slowly get up by losing money and building reputation... Instead of slowly losing money and living half-dead for a few more years, it is better to play as soon as you come back. A big one. I want to use this industrial park project of the Chuluye Consortium to announce the official return of the Huacheng family!"

Hatsugano Kiyohime thought about it and sighed sincerely: "How courageous!"

A broken capital chain would be a disaster for any real estate company with high turnover and high debt.

Huacheng Kyoko took over the company when Huacheng Construction was in turmoil. Even without external capital injection for more than two years, she was still able to develop old projects and repay bank loans normally, and stabilize the mood of suppliers and contractors. These things are enough to get a glimpse of her. He has the skills and ability to hold the building back from falling.

Now, the ban period on Huacheng buildings has not yet passed, and she has already thought about the future path in advance. This foresight has to be admired, but... can you really survive until the ban period passes?
Hatsugano Kiyohime was a little suspicious, so she couldn't help but ask: "How are you going to deal with the troubles of the Red Snapper Team? I heard some news from my friends, and the other party is ready to use the official level to put pressure on you. If you can't handle it, , no matter how well planned the future is, it is all empty talk.”

"I won't bother Sister Qingji to worry about this!" Huacheng Xingzi's expression was full of energy, and the charm that instantly came out was overwhelming. "Axun and I have made a decision, he will deal with foreign enemies, and I will concentrate on running the company! The two of us Together we can overcome any difficulty!"

"Axun?"

In an instant, Hatsugano Kiyohime's pupils shrank.

"Could this Axun you are talking about be Sister Xun's son..."

"Yes! Let me tell you, Sister Xun's son looks like her..." The businesslike expression on Huacheng Xingzi's face disappeared, and she put on the girlish look that she only showed when getting along with her best friend, and came over to gossip with her. He said the same, "With the same face, Sister Xun is heroic, and Axun is delicate and handsome... Let me tell you, Axun's temperament is really a young warrior, passionate and romantic, and also very humorous..."

Listening to her best friend's enthusiastic introduction to another best friend's son, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of Hatsukano Kiyohime's lips.

Among the five best friends, there is a secret that only she and Sister Xun know.

Sister Xun's son and a girl from the Chu Luye family are an unmarried couple who are married at the fingertips.

But now, Hatsugano Kiyohime doesn't want to agree to the marriage.

Sister Xun, you played a trick on me back then. I have never forgotten the shame and hurt. Let your son try this pain of being abandoned... Huh, with this kind of relationship, you still want to marry into my family. Kaguya?
——Dream!

At the same time, Shibuya Omotesando.

Outside the private room of a high-end restaurant, Team Leader Ito knelt in front of the door, listening to the shouts of men drinking and the lingering singing of geishas. From time to time, geishas were being teased, and they let out a burst of delicate laughter.

Most of the people inside were members of parliament from various wards in Tokyo, mainly Shibuya Ward.

There are also many corporate presidents among them.

In terms of strength, these presidents are actually far less powerful than the Red Snapper Group.

The mayor of Aoyama Town was also inside. From time to time he would come out of the door and ask Team Leader Ito to do some errands.

After Team Leader Ito finished his work, he knelt respectfully in front of the door, waiting for the next assignment.

The leader of a violent gang who has hundreds of subordinates and is aloof and imposing in front of others is nothing more than a lackey in front of the officials.

Although the Yakuza are legal, they are also labeled as inferior.

In Japan, a country that wears modern skin but is still feudal at heart, if you want to transcend classes and get ahead, you have to take the right path.

Even if the Jida reaches its peak and becomes the largest in the country, in the eyes of senior officials, it is just a relatively strong watchdog.

The social status is not even as good as some big doctors and lawyers.

The Red Snapper Group deliberately wants to annex the Huacheng family. Isn't the purpose of accumulating enough original capital and clearing the identity of the Yidao to become a real entrepreneur?

After being cleansed, you will no longer be inferior to others.

After cleaning up, you can drink at the same table with those officials.

Team leader Ito knelt in front of the door and said it was impossible without humiliation.

But he has no complaints.

He also needs the help of officials inside to achieve a real class leap.

After a long time, the wine party was over, and someone opened the door from inside.

Seeing the first person come out, Team Leader Ito stood up and greeted him warmly: "Congressman Takada..."

"Ah, it's Ito..." The drunken congressman's eyes immediately sobered up when he saw the leader of the Yakuza approaching. He quickly waved his hands and walked sideways against the wall, "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll have some tea... "

Don’t touch me.jpg
In Japan, officials can come and go with entrepreneurs above board.

But if you are photographed with the Yakuza, your career will be ruined and you can arrange your retirement life in advance.

The next few council members all had the same attitude.

Finally, Team Leader Ito grabbed the mayor of Aoyama Town and begged: "I want to see the governor. Can you send a message to me..."

"Ito, don't be dissatisfied!" The mayor patted his shoulder earnestly, "In the past two years, no government official has dared to have anything to do with the Huacheng family. This is the greatest help the governor has given you. If you can't even handle a Huacheng family without official background, how can you be qualified to meet the governor..."

"I'm ready to make a last-ditch effort!" Team Leader Ito gritted his teeth.

The mayor looked at him for a few times and said thoughtfully: "You have a lot of documents signed by the old man of the Huacheng family before his death. If you use some means to trap Huacheng Kyoko for a period of time, and then forcefully seize the assets on the documents, it would be fine. There is still a chance to gamble... Well, you prepare a gift and go to the Shibuya Police Station to manage it. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your final ability. After this April, the Huacheng family will no longer be troubled by financial problems. , then you have absolutely no chance..."

"grateful!"

Team Leader Ito bowed solemnly.

Watching the mayor leave, he pondered for a long time alone, remembering what Ryota Kato had said about how brave the adopted son of Kyoko Huacheng was.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Even if he spends a lot of money to hire thugs from the ancient swordsman family, he can't make it easy for that kid.

The night gradually deepened.

The death struggle of the red snapper group is ongoing.

His eyes returned to the Pure Land Villa of the Imperial Palace.

In the steamy bathhouse, facing His Highness Fukugi, whose aura was instantly formidable, Iinuma Isao cried out in his heart: Dear mother, how many sins have you committed in the past, and you are waiting for me, my son, to pay off your debts...
