Chapter 3 third chapter

It was past midnight when Jyuri and I checked into the Paula Hotel in Kayabacho.This is a business hotel where my friends often stay when they come to Tokyo or other times. If I come forward, the hotel can accommodate me.It's the same tonight, I asked Juli to wait by the stairs for me to finish the housing procedures. "I don't want to help you run away from home, but because you trust me and told me a lot about you, I will give you some special services." After entering the room, I put the key on the small box.This room only has a small single bed, TV, desk and fridge. "Anyway, I booked for two nights first. Check out at noon the day after tomorrow." After speaking, I looked at my watch and corrected, "It's past twelve o'clock, so it should be noon tomorrow."

"Why two nights?" "Anyway, let's do this first. You have a good night's sleep. If you want to go home, you can leave at any time. Just call me first when you want to leave." "It's late now, anyway, you should have a good sleep first, let's talk about it tomorrow." I walked towards the door, stopped and turned around and asked, "Also, do you have any money with you?" When she asked, her eyes flickered and her eyelashes fluttered. "You want to stay in a hotel without any money?" "Have a credit card!" "Oh, yes, it's the secondary card." I took out two 10,000-yuan bills from my wallet. "Leave the money first, just in case."

"I don't want it, why do I need..." "It doesn't need to be the best, just leave it alone." I put the 10,000 yuan bill on the TV and pressed it with the remote control. "I'll see you tomorrow. I pray that you will become more obedient. As I said before, the so-called secondary card can't be used as long as there is a notice. I don't have any money with me. I really don't know what you plan to do after this." Without waiting for her answer, I approached the door, and when I turned the handle, she said behind me: "It would have been nice if I had known earlier to get some money out."

I listened to what she said and turned around again. "What did you say?" "I'm talking about money. I think it would be great if you get some money out. Even if you don't take money, you can get some valuable things, such as diamonds. In this case, at least there will be no trouble in a short time." "This is called impulsiveness! You will change your mind by tomorrow. Anyway, depending on the situation, I will contact Mr. Katsuragi." "I will never go back!" "Forget it, you should think about it carefully." "I have the right to take some property from the Katsuragi family, right?"

Startled by the sudden question, I shrugged and said: "There should be. But for this, you have to continue to be the daughter of this family." "You mean it's okay to run away from home?" "Well... it doesn't make sense to think about it now. Inheriting the property will not be possible until after Mr. Katsuragi's death, at least for decades." "I've heard of the method of inheriting before death." "Are you talking about giving it during your lifetime? It's not impossible, but it's something that Mr. Katsuragi can decide. I don't know that you will ask for it, but no matter what, everything will be impossible if you don't go home."

She seemed to realize how much she had lost only after she realized she was penniless.Even if they run away from home, they still think about property issues. Maybe this is also one of Katsuragi Katsutoshi's inheritance. I opened the door and said, "Okay, good night." "Wait a moment!" I opened the door slightly and turned to face her: "What's the matter this time?" "Can you listen to my request?" She lowered her head slightly, as if speaking to an elder, which was an expression she had never seen so far. "Then what will happen?"

"It's not difficult. You can call my family first and just say I'm with you." "Just like that?" "After that, bring me some money. I don't want to go home again, just say that I need enough living expenses." I closed the door again. It would be troublesome if such words were heard.I looked at Juli's face, and after confirming that she was really not joking, I spread my hands slightly and asked: "Are you serious? Or are you kidding me?" "If I had called myself, I would have been called home!" "It's the same for me. I will definitely be reprimanded. If you have time to make prank calls like this, don't you bring my daughter back right away! As I said earlier, Mr. Katsuragi is a very important customer to us." .It is already an act of betrayal to put you in a hotel like this."

"Just say that I don't want to go home at all?" "Basically, this kind of statement will not be accepted, maybe it will be told that it is kidnapping." "Then just push the boat along the way and treat it as kidnapping?" "what?" "Call anonymously and say that if you want to get your daughter back, you should prepare 10 million first." I bent down a little, looked at her face from bottom to top and said, "Are you... for real?" "Anyway, even if I don't want to go home, I also need money. For this, I must do something consciously!?"

"Okay, then I know!" I raised my hands slightly, nodded, and said: "You'd better take a cold shower, it seems overheated!" As if Juli wanted to say something, I walked out of the room without paying attention. It takes about ten minutes to walk from the hotel to my apartment.Walking on the sidewalk, I thought back and forth about the conversation I had with Jyuri.She drank a lot of wine in the evening, but she wasn't drunk at all at this time. It must have something to do with the housework she mentioned. I'm a little surprised that Katsuragi Katsutoshi's family has such a complicated matter. Although I haven't decided whether to use such inside information, I don't lose anything if I know it. Maybe it will be useful in the future.A few hours ago, the whole mood fell to the bottom, but now it has completely cleared up.

When I arrived at the office the next day, I was called by Kozuka.Entering the president's office, Otsuka happened to be talking to Sugimoto Tomoya.Sugimoto is mainly responsible for music-related activities such as concerts.He was a year younger than me, but he was great.It was only then that I realized that he would take over the work of Rixing Motors. "I happened to be talking to Sugimoto about what happened yesterday." Kozuka looked at me and said. Sugimoto may feel a little embarrassed to meet my eyes, so he cast his eyes on the president's desktop. "Are you talking about taking over the follow-up work?"

"No, that's not necessary. You have to start from scratch anyway, otherwise the client won't accept it." What does Katsuragi Katsutoshi mean? "Did you explain to the team the setbacks in the car park case?" "Not yet, that's all I have to say." "So..." Ozuka showed an expression of thinking about something. "Is there a problem?" "Well, in fact, I have considered many situations. It is difficult to replace all the team members of the entire project. It is possible to replace only a part of the team. It is actually impossible to replace the entire project." I understand what he's trying to say. "The meaning of keeping all the team members is to replace the team leader." "That's what it means. In short, time is tight, and Sun Xing understands and accepts this." This sentence was just right, and I nodded my head along the way. "I'm going to have a meeting with Rixing this afternoon, and I hope you can attend." "Me? Why?" I forced a smile on my face and said, "I'm already useless to them." "Don't force your words, we have to make a formal statement to the other party, you can go first after introducing Sugimoto." It means to ask the former producer to attend when the new producer takes office. I never remember that I have suffered such humiliation. I suddenly thought of Juli's face, and then thought of something related. "Mr. Katsuragi won't come anyway." "Should see him." "Will it?" I tilted my head and looked at him and said, "I guess he won't come." "Why do you say that? It was confirmed just now that Vice President Katsuragi will also be present, and the other party is very sure." "Yeah, what's wrong?" "No, nothing..." The daughter ran away from home, would she have time to attend this kind of meeting where she just showed her face?Or does Katsuragi Katsutoshi not know about Jyuri's disappearance?This is impossible.If anyone finds out, he will be the first to notify his father. "Understood, I will attend. Be sure to pay respects to Mr. Katsuragi's face." "Don't make me a problem! You just need to keep your mouth shut the whole time." Ozuka poked my chest like a nail with his finger. Japan Star Motors Tokyo head office is in Shinjuku.After going through a lot of complicated procedures, our group was taken to the conference room, where the other party was already waiting for us. The chubby manager of the Publicity Department explained some key requirements for this revision of the plan.I was a little more polite than listening to Kotsuka's explanation last night, but the part that belittled my idea was the same. Katsutoshi Katsuragi was not present.He said he would arrive later, so he probably wouldn't come.There is no reason to come, it is not easy to say, and I am calling the police to find someone. The manager of the Publicity Department turned the topic to how to carry out projects in the future.Concepts, needs, IT—all the words that experienced ad people would be ashamed to use, and I was getting bored.Sugimoto was also introduced to me, so I made up my mind to leave immediately after we finished. Just as I couldn't bear the yawns several times, someone opened the door without knocking, and a man in a black suit with strong shoulders walked in. The manager of the Publicity Department was interrupted. After scanning the meeting room with his sharp eyes, the man walked towards the highest position. Katsutoshi Katsuragi is right. "What's the matter? Why don't you continue talking?" The man looked at the manager of the Guangxuan Department with a disdainful expression. The manager hurriedly wanted to continue the topic just now, but he seemed to have forgotten where he just talked, and looked embarrassed.It seemed that he felt a lot of pressure from that intimidation. "Is he Katsutoshi Katsuragi?" I asked Otsuka who was sitting next to me, and Otsuka just nodded slightly. The manager of the Publicity Department finally returned to the original pace and continued his boring explanation, but I was not listening, and kept catching the eyes of the vice president who ignored my strength.Katsutoshi Katsuragi also didn't seem to care much about the speech of the manager of the Publicity Department. I don't know if it was because the speech was lacking in content, or there were other reasons—that is, whether it was because of the disappearance of his daughter. There is no way to judge. After the manager of the Publicity Department finished speaking, Katsutoshi Katsuragi raised his hand when another person from Sunstar Motors stood up. Under the focus of everyone's eyes, he just sat and spoke: "I understand that this change in the plan has brought a lot of trouble to everyone, but I hope everyone can understand that we are not going to hold a lively temple fair. It is innovative, not relying on luck like gambling. What we want to do It is a game called business behavior. In this regard, what we require is careful planning and bold execution. Since it is a game, we must win. If it is just regarded as a game and just do it casually , then I’m sorry. There are too many life-fighting games in the world, so please consider this case as one of them as I do. It’s just that I still have some confidence in shopping mall games, so I judge that it must Re-plan the project again - that's what I'm saying." This is basically treating everyone as pawns in his game, as long as he moves according to his instructions!No, was that all he really wanted to say?In the soft and stable tone, the courage filled the entire meeting room, making people feel that the postures of all the people present were a little stiffer than a few minutes ago. It turned out that I stayed until the end of the meeting.During this period of time, I have been observing Katsuragi Katsutoshi closely, but I can't feel that he is a little bit absent-minded.No matter when his subordinates or Kotsuka spoke, he looked indifferent, but he always kept his sharp and piercing eyes.I thought to myself, he is not an ordinary person. The humiliation and fighting spirit in my heart are as mixed as after being disturbed.Is it a game?So that's the case, and it doesn't matter if that's the case.But he just blindly put himself in the position of a master. If it is a game, I am also confident, so let's compete.How can you forcefully drive others off before the game is decided?Katsutoshi Katsuragi, let's compete with me—I have been praying silently in my heart.It's just that he looks completely unmoved. After the meeting, Otsuka ran to him to say hello, and wanted to introduce me to him, but Katsuragi Katsutoshi didn't even look at me. After waving with tired gestures, he turned around and said to us: "Other Let's avoid the extra work. It's useless to introduce people who have nothing to do with work. "Talk and walk away." Kozuka and I were speechless, we could only watch the vice president of the big company above leave.I also know that people around me are looking at me with pity. Kozuka patted my shoulder twice, which I gritted my teeth to endure the humiliation. That night, I had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Akasaka with a girl named Maki.Maki is a newcomer to the modeling industry and I guess not much work falls on her.Most of the cases she received were show girls or reception girls. I know that she works in clubs a few days a week to make a living.So far, I have never actively contacted her, and she has always called me, so it is not surprising that she likes me. For her, I may be one of her important connections. But today it was I who called her.If I don't feel better, I really don't want to go home.I plan to have a drink after dinner, and see how to get her during the chat.Although there may be some troubles after having a physical relationship, it is more realistic to hold her overnight tonight. When the fish was served, the first bottle of white wine had already been drunk, so I ordered another bottle of the same wine, and it was fine to order red wine when the meat was served. "Drink quickly." Maki said as he awkwardly put the dish into his mouth with a fork.She deliberately increased the frequency of chewing while losing weight.That look was unbearable, but not to the point of spoiling the atmosphere. "Probably because I'm a little excited, and I get thirsty when I'm nervous." I drank the wine in one gulp. "Why are you excited?" "Because you are willing to meet me. Asking you out suddenly, I thought I would be rejected." "Love to joke, your mouth is really good at talking." She was smiling, but there was no unpleasantness in her eyes. "Speaking directly like this, it will definitely not be taken seriously. It is really difficult to please Japanese women. But in fact, I am really nervous, and I don't know why I am like this." Oh?She tilted her head and looked at me. "One is that it's been a long time since I had a meal with a woman face to face like this. The other is that I haven't contacted you so far, and I'm afraid I'll regret breaking this routine." Lying is also a convenient way. "Did something happen at work?" Maki looked at me and said. "Nothing." I held up my glass.I'm not in the mood to tell her the whole story, and she's not the type to play that kind of role. While eating decent food and wine, I subdued my stomach first.I also talked about some information that Zhenmu cares about, some stories about this circle, and some jokes mixed in.I know very well that a young girl cannot be satisfied just listening to others, and after that she has to be a listener too.What she said didn't have much content, and the structure was loose, and it took a little effort to get through it if she was so boring that she didn't doze off.Not only that, I gritted my teeth even to yawn, and flattered her that I had never heard such an interesting thing!She probably felt that she had become more talkative tonight. The relationship between men and women is also a game.It's just that the game becomes boring if the opponent is not strong.As far as tonight is concerned, this opponent is too inappropriate.I looked at Maki's happy face and thought I should find another woman tonight.If you want to find the woman from the office worker, first of all, if you suddenly ask her for a date, she will definitely be wary, and then it will take a lot of time to relieve her wariness.And it's not so easy to find topics for meal times.It's just that when dating a woman, it's better to use some thought and energy. That is to say, what I am looking for is not just the flesh, but highly stimulating games.Sex, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the reward for winning in a game. It's not just love, it's everything for me.Think of it as a game, and then feel the joy of winning the game, of course it is the same for sports, and the same is true for reading.The pros and cons of the results represent everything in this game.The college entrance examination is the biggest victory or defeat. If you can get victory points here, you can also pass the so-called game of life.With this belief, I finally entered the university I expected.The same is true when looking for a job, exhausting all conceivable methods to squeeze into the company you want to enter.Come to think of it, this is all the result of good planning. So far in my life, I have almost never lost any game. I don’t need to wait for Katsuragi Katsutoshi to say that work is also one of the games for me, and the same is true for this Sunstar Motors event.And this car park project, I think it will be a success, and I still think so. He said he had some confidence in the arcade game? If so, let's have a showdown.To see who is the real master, to clearly distinguish the superiority. But how do I do it?The opponent has deprived me of the opportunity to challenge.Unfortunately, I don't have any means of starting a war. "What's the matter?" Maki looked at me with an incredulous expression.I seemed to miss what she was saying when I was thinking about things. "No, it's nothing. Maybe I drank too much wine." I smiled and took a sip of the dessert smoothie. After leaving the restaurant, I tried to ask her if I would like to go to another place for a drink, but she agreed without even thinking about it.I hailed a taxi. "I feel at ease now, Mr. Sakuma seems to be in a good mood." When the taxi started, Shinaki said so. "What's the meaning?" "Well, I was thinking..." She was thinking about what to say, and then she said, "I'm worried that you are in a bad mood. If you are in a low mood, you will have a bad temper..." "It's strange for you to say that. Why do you always have a bad temper when you're in a bad mood?" When I said this, she rolled her eyes and said to me: "During the day today, I called Junko, you know, right? Junko Ueno." "Of course I know." Junko Ueno, who is involved in cyber planning, is also because of her that I know Maki.They seem to be friends from high school. "Did she say anything to you?" "Yeah, I talked to Mr. Sakuma during the chat, and she said that you might be a little blue today." "Blue?" "Because you were originally assigned a big case, and suddenly you were replaced..." "Did she tell you that?" "Ok." I sigh.Everyone in the company knows that Shunsuke Sakuma, who was involved in the Sunstar Automobile Planning Project, was replaced!There will be all kinds of rumors flying all over the place, and some of them must secretly applaud, because there are not a few people who were scolded by me at work and replaced by me. "Junko said, it was a mistake to replace Mr. Sakuma. No one can do things so nearly perfect." "It's an honor to be said that." In fact, I don't feel happy at all when people like Ueno Junko say this, but it just makes me feel more humiliated. "That's not a compliment! She said, except for crimes, probably no one can beat you!" "Oh……" Suddenly, I seemed to be caught by something in my heart, just like the moment before I found out that I forgot something, and then I finally remembered what was going on, and an idea came to my mind. "Excuse me! Stop here!" I said to the driver, "There is one who wants to get off here." Maki, who was sitting next to him, opened his eyes wide and said, "What's the matter?" "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent to do. I will solemnly apologize to you another day." I took out two 10,000-yuan bills from my wallet and forced them to her, then got out of the car alone.Maki sat in the restarted car, staring blankly at me. I scanned another taxi, got in and said, "To Kayaba Town." Get off in front of the Paula Hotel in Kayabacho, walk in from the main entrance, and walk directly to the elevator without going through the counter. I knocked on the door and there was no response. I knocked again, still no response.Just when he was thinking "I checked out without even saying anything", the door suddenly opened, and I saw Juli's face through the crack. "Hey!" "Alone, huh?" "Yes! How?" She nodded, closed the door first, and then opened the door after removing the chain. The TV in the room was on, playing a program introducing the latest Hu songs.She seemed to be lying on the bed watching TV. The bed was covered with all kinds of snacks, and there were ashtrays and bottled juices on the bedside table. "Did you have a good meal?" "I went to the restaurant just now." "what did you eat?" "Why do you ask these questions?" "Worried about your body, it's not good if you don't eat something nutritious." "Hmph," she said while looking at me, sitting down on the edge of the bed, "When sending home the eldest lady of an important client, if you were skinny, you wouldn't make a good impression!?" Still the same, still so eloquent, I really want to make people frustrate her. "What's next? Do you want to go home?" "Didn't you say you won't go home? How long-winded!" "Just want to make sure, because this is an important thing!" "Important thing?" She frowned and said, "What do you mean?" "I'll explain later. I still want to make sure of one thing. You said last night that you want me to bring you the money, and that it's the amount that you can inherit. Are you kidding me!?" "If you're kidding, I wouldn't say that. I'm not a kid to run away from home just to know how much my family loves me!" "Is that really serious?" "It's true! How many times do you want me to say it?" she said angrily. "Well!" I just sat and opened the refrigerator next to me, took out a can of Budweiser, pulled the cap off, and my hands were wet with a lot of foam. I took a sip, put the jar on the table, and looked at Juri's face again, she returned to me with a surprised and disgusted expression. It's time to make up your mind!How would she react if she listened to my proposal?If you refuse, it's all over.Her father will notify Kozuka and force him to kill my head immediately!Otsuka can't resist Katsutoshi Katsuragi, then I will be kicked out of the company! It's just that it's miserable to be judged and demoted like this in the cyber planning company now!It might as well be a gamble! I think of the video game consoles in the shopping street when I was a child. After the siege game became obsolete, a bunch of video games appeared. At that time, I ran to the playground whenever I had a new phone game.Behind the colorful screen, the machine is provoking me. INSERTCOIN - This moment is the same as that moment! "Do you want to play a game?" I asked. "Game?" Shuli's eyes were full of doubts. "You can complete your wish game. You can get the money you think you deserve from the Katsuragi family, and at the same time, I can get my due reward." "What do you mean to do?" "Oh? That's very surprising. It was originally what you said!" I picked up the beer again, took a big sip, then looked at her and said, "It's a kidnapping game!"
