"Since I want to talk about my impressions of your store, I don't want to say something irresponsible. Feelings influenced by the mood at that time will cause you trouble instead." "No, this is also of great reference value." "I can't do it. I don't want to regret it after saying something stupid now. In two days, I will go to 'Togami Pavilion' for dinner. At that time, if the impression is still the same as last time, I will send you a text message to express your gratitude. How about next?" She looked at Xingcheng's business card. "That's fine too, but..."

As far as Xingcheng is concerned, he is eager to hear it now.However, since she can't approve it, she can't force it too much. Moreover, there are very few women who are so serious just talking about their feelings.That's why he insisted on hearing her opinion, not via text but in person. "Then it's decided. If you send a text message, Ms. Saori (Saori) can easily express her opinion directly." The accompanying man said. "Wait a minute, may I ask when is it convenient to come to 'Hushen Pavilion'?" Xingcheng asked. "I don't know yet..."

"Please let me know the date. After the meal, five minutes or ten minutes, please tell me your impressions." "Can't you send text messages?" "Please." He bowed his head again. Hear her sigh. "Understood. I'll tell you. But, please don't expect too much. I don't know too many restaurants, and I don't know much about cuisine." She looked at her companion with a wry smile. "It seems like things are getting complicated." "It's not bad to let nature take its course. Ah, right. I forgot to introduce myself, this is my business card." The man handed a business card to Xing Cheng.

"Cortesia · Kenichi Kasugai" is printed on the business card. The name "Cortesia" has been heard, it is a jewelry company. "It's not from the catering industry." "So I apologized at the beginning. A friend who was invited sent me an invitation card. I know this lady likes red wine." "This..." Xingcheng looked at the woman again. "My surname is タカミネ (Gaofeng), and my name is タカミネサリ (Gaofeng Saori)." She took out her student ID card from her bag, which was written in Chinese characters as "Gao Gao Saori", and she was a senior student at a university in Kyoto.She said that she is currently on a break from school in order to experience various things in Tokyo.

"It's leisurely." "However, wouldn't it be dangerous to graduate without knowing anything about society?" She glanced at Xingcheng provocatively, not to be outdone. "So that's the case." Xing Cheng replied.For a woman who does not speak rashly about her impressions of the store, it is natural for her to want to understand the society before stepping into it. Afterwards, Saori and Haruhi left the venue together.Xingcheng continued to drink the wine, and there were ripples in his heart.The figure of Saori couldn't get rid of it in his mind.He himself didn't know whether he cared about her feelings about "Hushen Pavilion" or herself.

The party lasted until after nine o'clock.Xingcheng hailed a taxi and returned to his home in Meguro.The house that my father bought ten years ago.A German family lived there before, so the entrance door is very high.It looks like a Japanese house from the outside, but there are not many tatami mats inside. The executive is on the phone in the living room.He was still wearing a suit, so he shouldn't have been back long.From his stern tone, guess which branch manager is on the other end of the phone. "In short, don't make the same mistake again. Remember it well!" Saying this, Zheng Xing hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Xing Cheng asked. "Boring words. There was a mistake in the purchase, and the raw materials were not enough. You're not a child!" Zheng Xing smacked his lips and took off his jacket, "How about the wine?" "Well, there are quite a few good ones. But none that stand out." Zheng Xing laughed. "Well, worry more, I'm worried too." "You can't just imitate you, Dad." "Of course. This is your store, and you are solely responsible for everything." "I know." After leaving the living room, Xing Cheng went upstairs.His room is on the second floor.

After a while, he will become the new store manager of "Togami Pavilion".The location of the store has been selected and ready to start decoration.His mind was filled with these every day, thinking about the preparations. It is Xingcheng's greatest wish to open a store with its own style.Of course, it's pointless if the guest is not satisfied. The figure of Saori Takame once again appeared in his mind.A second earlier is fine, he wants to chat with her as soon as possible. There is a dazzling diamond set in the center of the ring, and a circle of transparent gems is set around it.Taifu looked at the ring, blinking non-stop.

"It's so beautiful, what's the matter with this ring?" The corner of Gong Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he took the ring off his finger. "The props used for shooting, I processed them a little bit, is it enough to make the real ones?" "Not bad." Taifu took the ring and examined it carefully. In order to play the gem dealer in disguise this time, he has recently learned a lot of relevant knowledge.In particular, I learned more about the company "Cortesia Japan" where "Kasugai Kenichi" works.The company's engagement rings feature a "C" for "Cortesia" engraved on the mount, and a mirrored "C" adorning the side of it.Pretty orthodox style.

"This ring should be able to confuse the real one." Taifu picked up the magnifying glass and magnified the observation. "Hey, brother Tai, pretend to be serious. It looks like a professional gem dealer." Jing Nai beside him teased. "It's man-made zirconia," Taifu said. "Nonsense." Gong Yi laughed, "The real diamonds cost millions. But it's no big deal if you see through." Taifu looked away from the magnifying glass. "At first glance, it looks exactly like a diamond. Under a magnifying glass, you can see that the lines of the cutting part are a bit rough. Moreover, it shines too much. It is obviously a man-made diamond."

"Eh?" Koichi and Shizuna looked at each other. "That's all I want to say," Taifu returned the ring to Gongyi, "Unfortunately, I don't know very well. I have never seen a real diamond, and I didn't fold it if I wanted to compare it." "What, I'm so disappointed. Well, there's nothing I can do." Gongyi carefully put the ring back into the box and took out another box.Open the lid of the box and put it in front of Taifu: "How about this?" Inside the box was also a ring.There are no large diamonds inlaid on it, and the entire ring is inlaid with small diamonds. "The new version of 'Cortesia'." Taifu blurted out, "Hasn't it been introduced to Japan yet?" "It should have flowed out of the black market. This counterfeit has been sneaked into the market long ago. I found it in Okachimachi. People with discerning eyes can tell it's a fake at a glance, but laymen may not be able to tell the difference." "I can't tell the difference either. Because, I've only seen photos." "Let me take a look." Saying that, Jing Nai stretched out her hand, put it on her ring finger, and compared it for a while under the fluorescent light. "It's so cute, I like this." "The size of the ring is already the size of Jing's finger. It will always be yours, don't worry. But don't take it out with you. Just enjoy yourself at home." After hearing Koichi's words, Shizuna pouted and took off the ring. "Sell this ring to Hushen?" Taifu asked. "That's right. That one just now is 6.5 million, this one is 3.5 million, a total of 10 million. In order to be more realistic, some mantissas have been added." "Will you realize it's a fake?" "It depends on your abilities. When buying rings, they were given to Jing Nai as gifts. Hushen will not look too carefully, never will." "Togami doesn't know about gemstones, right?" Shizuna asked worriedly. Koichi picked up a document from the desk. "Yukinari Togami, 28 years old. Graduated from Keimyung University in Economics. After graduation, he worked in the restaurant run by his father. The manager of the Kichijoji store. His hobbies are music appreciation, mountain climbing, and fishing. He joined a bicycle outing club when he was in college. I don’t live alone. My car is LEGACYTOURINGWAGON. I don’t have a favorite artist. I don’t know anything about the entertainment industry. I don’t have a favorite brand. I get my hair cut at a barber shop near my home. I never dye my hair. My father’s name is Togami Masahyuki. "My president, there are four stores in Tokyo. One in Osaka and one in Yokohama. The restaurant has suddenly become popular in the past ten years. Recently, I plan to open another branch. I heard that this store will be fully entrusted to Xingcheng. Kuro, I used to live in Yokohama." After reading this in one breath, Koichi glanced back and forth at Taisuke and Shizuna. "How? This information does not mention that he has a deep research on gemstones. There is also an unconfirmed information. He has only had one girlfriend so far, and they broke up when he was in college. He has no female affinity. To put it bluntly, he is simple. To put it bluntly, it's rustic. He wouldn't even consider that the ring might be a fake. Anyway, it depends on your acting skills." Taifu took the document from Koichi and read the contents again.It seems that there is really no need to worry. Tai Fu admired how the investigation was so detailed in such a short period of time.Although it is no surprise, Koichi's ability to gather information is really astonishing. Koichi's eyes stopped on this prey.He's the target of Koichi when he infiltrates a bachelor party.Hu Shen Xingcheng probably never imagined in his dreams that among the men who came to look for a female partner, there were prey hunters mixed in. According to Gong Yi, it was also a coincidence that he was eyeing Hushen.He learns that Hushen's father runs a western food restaurant, and becomes interested in him.Then, overheard chatter convinces Koichi that he's the right guy to target next time. The "A grade" merit is evaluated as such, which means that if the fraud is successful, they will have huge profits. "It's finally tonight. Jing, are you confident?" Gong Yi asked. On the night of the red wine party, Shizuna and Togami Yuki made the appointment.She goes to eat at "Togami-tei" in Hiroo, and then meets him. "Of course. The battle plan is seamless." Jing Nai said confidently. "Let him take the bait completely. Brother's battle plan is always impeccable." "That's right. He was hooked just by mentioning the name of 'Togami Pavilion'. At that time, I tried my best not to laugh." Hearing Taisuke and Shizuna's words, Gong nodded with satisfaction. "Ever since I saw that he was a fan of 'Hushenting', I planned to take him for granted. In a sense, he can't tolerate women in his eyes now, and his mind is full of new stores. So, he must be very I want to know what other people think of 'Togami Pavilion'. It's only natural to fall into your trap. For the time being, it has nothing to do with Jing's charm." "Ah, how sad." "Didn't you say 'for now'? From now on, it's all about Jing's ability. Don't miss it." "Leave it to me, basically I know his weakness." After being stimulated by the skills one by one, Jing Nai became more motivated. "Okay, trust Jing's ability." Koichi sat back on the chair, looked at Taifu and Shizuna again, "I have something to tell you. After this task is completed, we will wash our hands. Togami Yusei is the last prey. " Taifu's eyes fell from his brother's words. "Brother, what's going on?" Jing Nai asked in confusion. "Don't you understand Japanese? Get enough money from Togami Yukinari, then wash your hands and never get involved in fraud again." Koichi said slowly. "Why?" Taifu asked. Gong Yi sighed. "One day we will stop. Whether you or Jing Nai, you will always get married and have a happy family. For this reason, it is better to integrate into normal social life as soon as possible." "But, so suddenly..." After finishing speaking, Taifu turned around to ask Jing Nai's approval. She nodded too. "Yeah, it's not something that can be decided in a hurry. It finally went so smoothly." Gong shook his head. "It's not sudden. I've been thinking about this step all the time. If you continue to do this, you will encounter danger one day. Maybe one day you will suddenly bump into those guys who were cheated before. It's more important. I've made my decision and it won't change. This is the last mission." It seems Koichi's determination is impregnable.At this time, no matter how much they talk, they can't change his mind.And, his decisions never go wrong.Both Taifu and Shizuna are well aware of this.
