Chapter 8 Section VIII

Taifu reached under the bed and pulled out the nylon rope that had been hidden there beforehand.Taifu was very scared when he used it for the first time, but he is quite used to it now. He tied the rope to the foot of the bed and threw it out the window.Putting on gloves, Gong hung one end of the 8-ring climbing equipment around his waist and the other end on a rope, and jumped onto the window frame with a "swish". "I'll get off first." As he spoke, he slithered down along the wall. "It's amazing." Gang sighed sincerely. I am also strong.Taifu stepped on the window frame while thinking.The window frame is about 5 meters from the ground.Taifu tried not to look down, and descended slightly inflexibly. Of course Gong Yi taught him how to use the 8-shaped ring.

After landing safely, he raised his head and waved at Gang Gang, and Gang Gang started to retrieve the rope. "I don't know if Jing is going well or not," Taifu said. "Don't worry." Locked, Gong Yi walked away. They walked along the corner to the open space where the bicycles were parked. Jing Nai was already waiting there, wearing a woolen jacket over a knitted sweater. "It's so slow~ It's freezing me to death." "It's so early." Taifu said, "How did you come out?" "I can't use the most primitive method like you."

"Give He Chuan a sneak peek." Gong Yi chuckled and said, "Obviously only the first day of junior high school." He Chuan is a college student volunteer who is responsible for night patrol work. "Whatever, let's go, it's cold." Koichi and Taifu pushed their own bicycles, all of which Koichi got. He said that he bought second-hand goods with the money he earned from part-time jobs. Whether this is the truth is unknown.The instructor couldn't find evidence of the theft and didn't say much about him. Shizuna sat behind Koichi, and Koichi stepped on the pedals to ride out of the orphanage, followed by Taifu.The scene brought back memories for them.An experience that I will never forget.So, when he first heard about Koichi's plan, Taifu didn't want to go.At that time, Gongyi said to him like this.

"Don't run away. Running away won't do anything, and no one will help you. So let's go back there again and start over from there." Koichi is already a senior in high school and must leave the orphanage next spring.Before he said it, he wanted to do it again anyway. The destination is a nearby lawn.The three got off their bicycles and let them lie on the lawn. "The Leonid meteor shower is the meteor of the Leo star?" Jing Nai asked. "No, it has nothing to do with Leo, it's just that the direction of the shooting star happens to be in Leo."

After listening to Koichi's explanation, Shizuna was stunned. There was not a cloud in the sky, which was very different from that night.After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw the stars twinkling in the night sky like a planetarium. As if to make up for that nightmare, meteors streaked across the sky one after another. "Wow—" Jing Nai sighed. Taifu didn't say a word, he was stunned by the beauty of this scene, unable to utter a word, tears came out of his eyes inexplicably. "Hey," Gong Yi said, "we are like shooting stars." Tai Fu, who didn't understand the meaning, was silent.Gongyi continued.

"Flying across the sky without a goal, I don't know where to burn my life. But—" Koichi said with a sigh of relief, "The three of us are closely connected. We are bound to each other at all times. (I た ち 三人は系がってる.いつだって换で结ばれてる.) Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of anything.” The hour hand pointed to 2 o'clock, and the figure of Nanda Shiho appeared on the stairs. After looking around the store for a while, she immediately noticed Takayama's position and approached him with a smile. Shiho was wearing a gray suit, and even though she was tall, she had slender legs in an ordinary skirt.Takayama likes this very much.

"Sorry, waited a long time?" "No, I just arrived too, and I haven't ordered anything yet." "Great." Shiho put down his satchel and sat down opposite Takayama.Immediately, she seemed to realize something and stood up again. "It's better if we sit side by side." "yes?" "You think, we want to listen to his introduction together." As she spoke, she sat beside Gao Shan without hesitation, and Gao Shan smelled the fragrance of flowers. Shiho called the waiter and ordered a cup of royal milk tea, while Takayama ordered a cup of coffee.

"You'd better order a more expensive drink." Shiho said. "why?" "Since he paid the bill, you don't have to be polite. Anyway, he also asked us." "That's right." Gao Shan took the menu and looked at the price. It was true that the royal milk tea she ordered was 200 yen more expensive than the coffee.Shiho, who cares about such a small amount of money, showed a sense of civilians that made Takayama jump for joy. "I'm really sorry today." Shiho clasped his hands together, "I got you involved in something strange."

"Don't worry about it. The bank's interest rate is very low, and I'm trying to use the money to invest something. This is just right." "I'm much more comfortable that way. Anyway, I don't want to bother Hisanobu-san alone." "Don't be so ignorant." Gao Shan picked up the cup and quenched his thirst.Every time he heard her call him, Gao Shan always felt his heart beat faster. "He's so slow to say it. Let's wait for him, is there any mistake?" As soon as the words fell, Shiho stood up with an "ah". She walked to a table a few meters away, and a man in a brown suit sat with his back to her.Shiho walked around to the man and laughed out loud.

"Senior, what are you doing? We have been waiting there." "Huh?" The man turned around as he spoke, and when he saw Gao Shan, he stood up in a panic. "Oh, hello. Oh, oh, oh, I'm so sorry." The man moved to Gao Shan's table with his bag in his hand, iced coffee in one hand, and the bill in the other. "Senior, when did you arrive?" "About 20 minutes ago." "Well, it's true that I noticed you were already sitting there when I came." Gao Shan said. "I see. I'm really sorry I didn't notice. I thought you and Ms. Minamida just arrived together."

"But you didn't notice me either." Facing Shiho's accusation, the man showed an apologetic expression: "I didn't notice it at all, what a shame." "That's why you can't meet the bank's target." "Don't say that." The man who was still standing took out his business card from the inner pocket of his suit, "I think Nantian has told you that this is my business card." "Komiya Yasushi, Sales Department, Nihonbashi Branch, Sankyo Bank" was printed on the business card. Takayama has an account at Sankyo Bank, and Shiho seems to have known about it, which led to today's meeting.She said that the seniors in the university could not complete the quota, and hoped to help him. "Thank you so much this time, you helped me a lot." Xiao Gong kept bowing his head. "Sit down first, it's too sideways." Shiho said. "Ah, I'm sorry." Finally, Komiya sat down. His impression as a banker is evident in his appearance.The hair is neatly parted in the middle, the gold-rimmed glasses are not too fashionable, and the color of the tie is also very plain.Although he is of average height, he looks tall because he sits upright. The other party seemed to be a very serious person.Gao Shan was relieved, he was not good at dealing with people he met for the first time. "Senior, you haven't explained it to us in detail. Speaking of it, I still don't quite understand it. Please introduce it again." "It's natural. I'll start explaining it now." Komiya took out a document from his bag and put it in front of Takayama and Shiho, "This time I'm introducing a US dollar construction bond issued by the European Finance Corporation. The term is 2 years , with an annual interest rate of 4.3% based on the U.S. dollar.” "The contract cannot be terminated within two years?" Shiho asked. "Although it is possible, we cannot guarantee a full refund. Because we make profits from various investments through customers' funds, if the investment fails, we will subtract this part of the loss from the principal. If the period expires, we can Guarantee customers get the principal and interest." "Is that financial company reliable? It won't go bankrupt, right?" Shiho asked suspiciously. "There is no company in the world that will never go bankrupt." Saying that, Komiya opened the notepad, "This is the company's rating——" "Moody's is rated Aaa, and Standard & Poor's (S&P) is rated AAA," explained Komiya.Takayama is completely at a loss, but in short, it sounds like a reliable company. Shiho asked several questions in succession, but Komiya answered them politely without putting on an attitude of a university senior.For the fact that he used honorifics to talk to her, Gao Shan suddenly had a good impression.If he wants to entrust this person, he must be very relieved.In fact, listening to the conversation between the two, he didn't know anything about the product.Economically, he is a layman. "Hey, how's it going? It sounds pretty good now." Shiho asked Takayama. "Not bad. I'll leave it to you." Gao Shan replied.Realizing that the phrase "I'll leave it to you" implies Shiho as a companion, Takayama was delighted. "At least 2 million?" Shiho confirmed. "That's the best way to go." "I also said on the phone that I only have 500,000, and he will pay the rest, is that okay?" "Of course. But only in the name of one person." "Then in his name." "Understood. But after 2 years, all the money will be credited to Mr. Takayama's account, no problem?" Komiya looked at Takayama and Shiho alternately, confirming. "No problem at all." Shiho replied without thinking. "We will settle this privately. I don't know what will happen then, maybe all my money will be transferred to Mr. Jiu Shinobu's name." After hearing this, Gao Shan suddenly felt hot, and he couldn't help staring at her side face, and she asked his consent in a cautious tone. "That's right." His voice was hoarse. "So, sorry, we can start signing the contract." Xiao Gong took out various documents from the bag. First sign and seal the contract.Subsequently, the bank's refund application form followed suit.When filling in the amount, Takayama raised his head. "Well, let me do it all." "How to say?" "Let me pay the principal of 2 million. This way it won't be so troublesome." Looking at Shiho beside her, she was also filling out the refund application form, the amount was 500,000. "It's up to you to decide." Komiya glanced at Shiho. "No." Shisui refused with righteous words, "I don't want to bother Mr. Hisanobu alone, I recommended it, so let me pay a penny." "but……" She shook her head. "I won't accept it. I was going to pay half of it." Gao Shan sighed with a wry smile. "Got it. You're so stubborn." "I'm very strict with money." As she spoke, she continued to fill in.
