Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Whirlpool

The office of Oriental Travel Company is located in the Jingqiao building complex.In the newly built modern building, the firm rents two rooms.After all, it is a new building, the interior is as bright as the exterior, and well-equipped. Koji Shiokawa met with executive Tokuyama Iwao in the separated director's room. Tokuyama claimed good news and asked Shiokawa to come here.Originally, Tokuyama was going to meet with Hongzhi, but Hongzhi stopped him. It was inconvenient to discuss this matter at the bank, and the president did not necessarily agree with Hongzhi's policy.Although he is confident that he will eventually be able to overcome the opposition of the president's faction, but before the plan is formed, Tokuyama cannot be approached, which will cause useless stimulation to the president's faction.Because of this concern, Hong Zhi took the initiative to come.

"It's Mr. Keijiro Tokuyama who is about to go out in person!" When the two met, the executive Tokuyama said with a smile on his face. "Mr. Tu?" "Yes. Of course, he himself will not show up directly. No matter what kind of business, he is always in charge of the background. The so-called personal action means that his immediate confidant, Executive Director Miyagawa, is in charge of our company." "Oh? That's..." Hong Zhi's eyes widened.Of course, he had already heard the name of Executive Miyagawa. There are five confidants in the local think tank.The electric railway is the base camp, and the children of the famous family of Shitu are in charge.Other affiliated companies—movies, land real estate, commercial buildings, etc., are run by one of the five as general manager.Executive Director Miyagawa is currently serving as the counselor of Chairman Keijiro Do, participating in the overall confidentiality, so it can be said that he is Do's arm.At the same time, he is also the backer of the famous children.For Miyagawa to directly control the Oriental Travel Company, indeed, this is no different from Keijiro Tochi himself.

"Two days ago, I met this executive Miyagawa in a certain club. We will exchange contracts with each other soon." "If you do this, will the other party provide a huge amount of assistance?" "I think they'll help. But what about us?" The Specialist spread his hands. "We should act independently as much as possible, and we can't listen to what the locals say." The executive's tone seemed to be wary of being robbed secretly by the locals.In fact, everyone knows that it is Do Keijiro who has swallowed up many companies so far, nicknamed "Kaijiro Keijiro".Of course, if Tu has ambitions for the Eastern Tourism Company, it shows that this cause has great promise.

"So, if we want to establish our independence, we must expand our funds as much as possible. As for Shitu, he is only allowed to be a backer. Is it okay to entrust you?" "No problem! We will definitely be able to catch up." Hongzhi made it clear that he could raise funds. "I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Deshan's tightened shoulders suddenly relaxed. It was Tu's positive attitude that made him more confident, and his expression looked much calmer than when we met last time. Personally radiant. Hiroshi also breathed a sigh of relief.As long as the soil is positive, there is no doubt about the prospects of this investment.In this way, the governor will definitely dispel his concerns and allow this financing.At the same time, it is easy to withdraw funds from Xinzi's natal family.

"I'll introduce you to Executive Miyagawa in a few days." Executive Tokuyama impatiently took out the notebook from his pocket. "I also mentioned your situation to Miyagawa, and he also intends to meet with you. When is the right time for you? To be honest, Miyagawa also entrusted me. He said it was at your convenience." The other party is very enthusiastic, and Hong Zhi will never suffer a loss if he goes to meet the powerful faction of the local chaebol. "How about the day after tomorrow?" "Okay! I have no objection. I'll contact Miyagawa first."

Everything went so smoothly.The bright atmosphere between the two even overshadowed the sunlight pouring into the room. Executive Tokuyama held his teacup leisurely. "I said, Yanchuan, I would like to ask, where is your hometown?" He seemed to know nothing. "It's from the San'in area." "Oh! Are there many people with the surname Yanchuan in that area?" "There are quite a few. Especially in our village, almost half of them have the surname Yanchuan. What's the matter?" "It's nothing. I have a hobby of guessing the hometown of someone based on their surname. Once I meet someone with a special name, I

"I see. Your hobby is quite interesting." "However," the executive looked at Koji Shiokawa with a smile in his eyes. "A few days ago, I met a person named Yanchuan. No, I didn't see her, it was a lady..." Hongzhi was startled, and looked back at the bloody and moist face of the executive. "It's in Kofu... No, it's my foreign clerk in Kofu. He's stationed there, responsible for project surveys, surveys, and land acquisitions. Young guy, very enthusiastic. I also often go to Kofu for inspection, just a few days ago I went to the office to meet him the other day. After talking about work, we started chatting, and he said a wonderful thing. Yes, there are many wonderful things in the world."

"..." "I heard from this guy that he has a friend who is an associate professor at a certain university in Tokyo. He happened to meet him on Kofu Street. When he asked him why he came, he said that he was looking for a woman. Ask him again, it seems that he is the person he likes. It is estimated that nine out of ten people live in Kofu, so we chased there." "..." "My subordinate is also really nosy, telling the other party that he is most likely to live in Yucun near Kofu, and took him to Yucun where he is boarding, and then called all the hotels to ask about the woman named Shiokawa... ...In this way, I met another Shiokawa, so I was very impressed."

Hongzhi took out the cigarette in front of him and slowly put it in his mouth, and the manager stretched out the lighter to light the cigarette for him.Hiroshi took a puff of his cigarette and shrugged his eyebrows. "Then, what happened?" It seemed that he was quite interested in this matter, but his expression did not loosen. "What! It didn't taste good after that. I called all over the phone, but I didn't find out the hotel where the woman was staying. The associate professor didn't give up, so he was waiting at Kofu Station... A woman can have a man who clings to her. It is quite a blessing. However, when we mentioned the associate professor of the university—by the way, I almost forgot, I heard that it was an associate professor of economics—we thought that there are still sentimental people among those who read esoteric books calmly. .”

Hongzhi didn't make a comment, seeing smoke coming out of his mouth elsewhere. "The surname Yanchuan is still everywhere!" The next night, Koji Shiokawa went to the "White Fence House".As usual, I pushed the door open without saying hello, and there was no pair of shoes in the hall. Hearing the sound, a woman's voice came from the back room. "Who is it?" "it's me!" Hiroji didn't answer, and walked through the corridor.The house is not big, and I came to the door at the end in a blink of an eye. "I went in." "Please!" Zhi Lizi faced the three-way mirror, raised her hands and was combing her hair, and she had already changed into her nightgown.

"Going to bed so early?" Hongzhi stared at him with treacherous eyes, and sat down in a new pot-shaped chair in the corner of the room. "Yes! I have nothing to do!" Zhi Lizi brushed her hair shaking her head, and Hong Zhi watched her movements for a while. "You're not coming, I'm the only one left. What else can I do besides go to bed early?" I heard the faint sound of a comb rubbing against my hair. "I have something to do with you." The woman didn't respond, and continued to comb her hair in front of the mirror intently. "I said, you can help me find out about that university teacher a few days ago..." "I don't!" suddenly screamed. "That's the only time you use me. I'm no detective." "..." "I knew you didn't take me seriously." "Nothing." "No, it's useless to pretend... I've thought about it carefully during the few days you're away." "What's the meaning?" "Break up!" "Break up?" Hong Zhi was dumbfounded, looking at the side of the woman's face. "Yes... I've been dating you for four years, and you should be tired of me." The woman didn't look at him. "I've seen through you a long time ago, so now I have to make a break. I hate it when a man tells me to break up with me first. right?" "That's your own wild guess, I..." Hong Zhi wanted to explain. "It's useless to argue, shut up and listen to me...you have to pay me alimony." "Have you found the right man?" "If I find a suitable man, why do I need alimony from you? You have to give me the living expenses of a single woman." "How much do you want?" Hong Zhi asked in a hoarse voice. "Ten million yen." "Big appetite!" "Now there is a suitable bar in Ginza that needs to be transferred, plus the royalties totaling 5 million yen. It's not expensive, I want to buy it. In addition, there are decoration costs, labor costs and furniture costs, which also cost 5 million yen." After tidying her hair and leaving the mirror, Li Lizi patted her body and sat down opposite Hongzhi.The hem of the nightgown floated up slightly, and then unfolded and fell on the chair.The expression is not the usual Zhi Lizi, revealing the spirit of a woman making a major decision.Hongzhi looked at his lover as if looking at a stranger. "Have you really thought about it?" "Yeah, I've thought about it a long time ago." Zhi Lizi opened her eyes wide and condescendingly, showing no sign of pampering or acting like a spoiled child. "What? You think I'm joking?" "It's just a joke!" "Don't take it seriously!" the woman said sternly. "This is also the result of my deliberation." "That's not appropriate." "why?" "The amount is too large. You should check my purse." "Ten million yen is nothing to you." "You want to call me dereliction of duty and misappropriation of money from the bank?" "Don't scare me. You can do it." "Unfortunately, I'm just an employee. Even if I'm a director, at worst I'm a director of a mutual bank, and my salary is comparable to that of section chiefs in other companies." "Don't take me for a fool. I made up my mind based on your ability... I have already paid a deposit to the bar in Ginza." "You have a lot of money!" "The deposit doesn't cost much. I saved up the pocket money you gave me...don't think about it. I want to do my own thing without restraint, and I will continue to do it in the future." "Amazing!" "When will the money be paid? The deposit will be due in one month." "Looks like it's time for a showdown." Hong Zhi said with a sneer. "Once the money fight starts, the relationship ends." "Yes! Alimony!" The woman held a cigarette between her slender fingers, and a deep green jadeite ring glistened between her fingers.It was also bought by Hongzhi for her, and it cost 700,000 yen at the time! "I saw through your heart, so I talked to you about things. I hate men who break up first, which makes me nervous... Of course, it's not that I didn't get your attention. I moved from Osaka to Tokyo thanks to your help." You help. However, I also paid the price of my youth for this." "You mean for me? Didn't you only rely on me at that time? You said that you paid the price of your youth, which has nothing to do with me. You gave it up yourself. I don't need to listen to your complaints, I also made A great sacrifice was made." "Did you mean money?" "Not just money!" "Ah," the woman nodded. "You mean your wife? You mean you have a bad relationship with your wife because of me, right?" The woman began to sneer. "But there is no way. I also plan to be with you for the rest of my life. It was also your responsibility for me to be with you before. What did I do wrong?... I don't want to beg you not to break up with me, and I don't want to Listen to other people's gossip. Once I find that the other party doesn't have me in their hearts, I will withdraw first." "Let me make sure again, whether someone is instigating behind your back." "It's really a villain. You use me to play tricks between my wife and Asano. You are really a conspirator. But don't worry. No, maybe breaking up is good for both of you and me. I don't have a conspirator behind me, so I ask you Ask for the full principal of self-reliance." The woman didn't flinch, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.Koji Shiokawa noticed the tears in Zhi Lizi's eyes, was it because of extreme remorse?Or is it because of the sadness of parting?Hongzhi looked at Zhi Lizi's expression angrily asking for alimony and thought, this woman is somewhat fierce, but her heart is still pure.The long-term relationship can prove this, and it is also for this reason that I moved to Tokyo from Osaka, and now I am tearful.The woman said that she was no longer in his heart. In fact, he did lose interest in her, but not because he had a new love. It can be said that this is Zhilizi's pampering and indulgence, because he is still very attached to Hongzhi.A woman breaks up with a man, either when she learns that she is completely abandoned, or when she has another crush.Right now, Zhi Lizi is neither, and I am afraid that she still has a secret worry in her heart, and suddenly bursts out and asks for alimony. "Ten million yen is too much!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "not much!" "too much!" "Absolutely not much!" "I think it's too much. I've been short of funds recently, and I'm even more stretched from the end of this year to next year. That is, if I give you 10 million yen, the actual cost is much higher." "Scrooge!" Zhi Lizi pouted. "You can do it." "Impossible! I am no more than a director of a mutual bank." "However, you can find a way. I won't leave until I get 10 million yen." Hiroshi grinned. "The alimony will not be paid at all." "..." "If I don't give you alimony, I'll earn it too, and you can live here forever." Eriko looked at Hongzhi with a stiff expression.He could see the unconcealable joy in the woman's expression.Hongzhi thought to himself, this woman can't be let go now, he has to make more use of it, at least before Nobuko proposes divorce on this ground, she must be kept at hand.After taking the loan from Changgang's husband's family, there is no need to repay it. The original plan was to get it for nothing.For this plan to work, Eriko must be within her grasp. "You're such a scoundrel!" Zhi Lizi glared at Hong Zhi. "There's no such thing as a scoundrel. After all, you can't leave me." "You're so pretentious!" "I'm stating the facts... You must be lying when you say you paid a deposit to the Ginza Bar." "you are so bad!" "If it's true, show me the receipt." "I don't have that stuff." Zhilizi couldn't hold it anymore, which was clearly revealed in her expression. "This kind of trick that can be pierced at once doesn't work for me." "..." "Ten million yen, you are asking a lot!" "Oh, am I not worth that much?" Zhi Lizi gradually showed a smile on her face, although she was a little shy, she couldn't hold it back.The eyes that had been glaring at Hongzhi all the time also returned to their original obsequiousness. "Even you don't overestimate yourself, do you?" "Ah? You underestimate me!" "I didn't underestimate you. However, when I really liberate you, I will be overpaid." "Who knows if it's reliable? Miser!" "To be honest, you don't want to leave me, do you?" Hong Zhi stretched out his hand to her who was sitting directly opposite. Zhi Lizi hid her hands under the table, which was the last resistance. "No! Don't try to win me over." She had completely lost herself. "Okay, stop talking like that, let's make up!" In the end, he held Zhi Lizi's hand.He made a warm handshake, but secretly pulled towards him hard.Zhi Lizi leaned forward, was pulled up from the chair, and staggered towards Hongzhi at the table.Hiroshi placed Edariko on his lap.She lightly wrapped her arms around the man's neck, and fell sideways, making the chair creak.Hiroshi hugged her and kissed her lips.The woman hung on his neck, and moved her face closer. "You're so slippery!" she said, moving her lips away. "Where is the slippery head? This is a matter of course!." "No, you're slippery! Make me submit easily." "Of course! I love you!" "You don't love me at all. I know what you're thinking!" "You think you know, but you are blind. Do you still want to leave me?" Hong Zhi hugged the woman's slender body tightly.The woman twisted her face as if she was struggling in his arms, and Hong Zhi immediately knew that his strategy was successful. When Hongzhi returned home, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.He pushed the door of the building, but it was not locked, which meant that his wife was not asleep yet.He turned on the light in the hall, and at the same time heard the footsteps of Nobuko coming out from the back room.Hongzhi sat down and took off his shoes, and Nobuko knelt behind him. "You're back!" She was still wearing her daytime kimono, with her obi tightly tied.Nobuko kept this attire until her husband came back until two o'clock.She didn't say you came back so late, and she didn't ask you what to do.As early as three years ago, Xinzi had been beaten so red and swollen by accident because of her questioning. Hongzhi entered the room silently.Xinzi went down the steps and closed the door of the building, and turned off the lights.Hong Zhi went into the living room and turned on the light, and started smoking.He slumped on the sofa lazily, resting his elbows on the table as if exhausted.Nobuko boiled water, brewed black tea and brought it over, put the teacup in front of her husband and said good night, this is what Nobuko used to do when her husband came home late. "Wait!" Her husband stopped her, staring straight at Xinzi, who was fully dressed.He thought it was a mockery for his wife to welcome him home like this, seeing this woman's hair bun and kimono, he always had the urge to mess with it. "I have something to say. Sit down." "Yes." Nobuko sat on a chair away from her husband. "Tomorrow I'm going on a trip for four or five days." "Is it a business trip?" "It's also a business trip. I'm very tired recently, so I went out to recuperate." Nobuko remained silent with a low eyebrow. At this moment, she still didn't ask her husband where he was going or when he would be back.Between husband and wife, I don't know when such a habit was formed. "There's nothing to talk about. However, I'm going to Changgang by the way, it's for the loan." "..." "I want to settle the matter with the old man. When I went last time, he was tempted, but he hasn't made up his mind yet. I want to negotiate the terms this time." Nobuko remained silent. "Let's be clear first, even if I borrow money from your natal family, I'm not half a head shorter than you." He rested his chin and looked at his wife. "I'm still the original me, and don't be arrogant just because I borrowed money from your family." Xinzi was furious, but she didn't say anything, and it was useless. She only cared about how much money her husband would borrow.When I went back to my natal home last time, my parents didn't talk about it, which is incredible.The parents are afraid that once the truth is revealed, Nobuko will protest to Hongzhi, which will lead to the deterioration of the relationship between husband and wife.But even if asked at this time, the husband will not say the amount, his mouth is very strict.If he insisted on asking, he would either interrupt with disdain, or fight with fists. "Understood." Nobuko nodded. "You rest!" She got up and gave a little salute. Hongzhi straightened his arms, let his head hang limply on the sofa, and squinted his eyes to watch his wife go out. The sound of Nobuko's footsteps disappeared in the corridor, followed by the sound of the door closing.She must have locked the door behind her back. Although she couldn't hear it here, it hit his heart heavily.However, Hongzhi tried his best to convince himself that he would not be able to spend a few days with this woman.Soon a huge sum of money will be withdrawn from Changgang, and the strategy of borrowing but not repaying can also be successful.Tomorrow, Tokugawa's executive will introduce him to meet Director Miyagawa, Keijiro's favorite student, which is no different from seeing Keijiro directly.When my chance came, Hongzhi sank into the sofa and was complacent. "This meeting determines my destiny. It is often said that there are only three good opportunities in life, but I am afraid that there is only one such opportunity. I must leave a good impression on Miyagawa, and this will determine my future development." He became more ambitious. "It's impossible to be a mutual bank forever. I have to rely on Tu's backing to complete the leap. It is said that Tu pays attention to talent, and there are many people who are regarded by him as hopeful stars in the financial world. Basically, Miyagawa is just a business lease. The little guy in the car. Now what? He's got a piece of what's a land monopoly conglomerate." Hongzhi's fantasies are still expanding.He convinced Zhi Lizi tonight because he still needs to use her for a while.As she noticed, Hong Zhi's heart had already moved away from her.Therefore, the superficial knowledge of proposing 10 million yen alimony made him laughable.Of course, absolutely nothing will be paid when the partnership is dissolved. The next day, Hongzhi walked out of the house with a light travel bag.He didn't go directly to the unit, but took a taxi to Zhilizi's house first. "Oh! Are you going on a long trip?" Zhi Lizi just got up, and came to the hall lazily, and saw the travel bag. "Yeah! I want to take you with me too." "Oh? Really?!" Zhi Lizi widened her eyes, and then smiled again. "Why didn't you talk about it last night? You really change as you say. " "I suddenly thought of it." Hong Zhi said. "I'll keep this here with you. You'll be waiting for me at Shinjuku Station around 9:30 tonight." "You mean Shinjuku Station? Then, take the Chuo Line?" "Go to Kofu and spend four to five days." "Oh, really?" Zhi Lizi was dubious. "Look, I brought everything with me, what's the use of lying to you?" "Why are you so attentive all of a sudden? It seems that it is good to quarrel occasionally." Zhi Lizi was elated. Hong Zhi told him not to be late, and then returned to the taxi waiting for him.Before he got up this morning, he hadn't made up his mind to take Zhi Lizi there. He suddenly thought of it while washing his face, and immediately realized that it was a brilliant move. Nobuko remained calm and sent her husband to the hall.If it is the hostess of an ordinary family, the matter of borrowing money from her natal family may be mentioned again.But the hostess did not ask.When the husband goes out early in the morning, he cannot leave with unhappiness.This kind of good intentions is the cultivation inherited from the mother.However, the more considerate and considerate she is in everything, the more she makes Hongzhi feel weird and awkward.No matter what he was doing outside, he didn't ask questions, just watched his actions silently, so he always felt that she was laughing at him, and instead felt more anxious and irritable. Hongzhi was working as usual at the bank that day, and tonight he was going to meet with Miyagawa, the executive of the local monopoly enterprise group, and no one knew about it.Before there is an absolute chance of winning, let alone the other directors, even the president can't tell them, and surprise them later. Hongzhi had a golf event for clients in the afternoon, but he also declined it, and waited wholeheartedly until he got off work at five o'clock.The party started at six o'clock, at a restaurant in a secluded part of Willow Bridge.It is said that this is the usual place of Miyagawa's executive.Of course, Tokuyama of Oriental Travel Company will also be present as a matchmaker. Executive Miyagawa is 1.7 meters tall, wide enough in width, and still has a big belly.The full head of silver hair complements the red face, and the thick black eyebrows seem to symbolize the abundant work energy of the routine.He looked at Hongzhi or Tokuyama with a smile from time to time. From the beginning of the evening, the executive stood in the audience's seat, either nodding to Tokuyama's words, or listening to Hongzhi's opinions.Although he doesn't talk about his own opinions, when we meet, I feel that he is really a reliable person.This Miyagawa came here, which shows how much Keijiro Tochi pays attention to this cause. "Exactly." Hearing the question, Miyagawa replied. "Mr. Tu is very concerned, so he asked me to listen to it. According to other examples, Tu will participate in any such project. Some people in the society made up inexplicable nicknames for him and said bad things about him. In fact, he is A person who has a lot of sympathy and mystery will not act recklessly. Well, don't believe in gossip and magazine reports, just meet a fellow! The saying 'men love men' is just for people like him born." "When the executive said this, we also felt confident. It is also an issue of shares. As long as there is soil as the backing, the integrity of our company will definitely increase." "Okay! Then we will take an active part in it." Executive Director Miyagawa said with a smile. "But please don't get me wrong, we're in no way going to swallow or replace your company. That said, we're primarily backing it up." "Great!" Executive Deshan immediately agreed. Koji wanted to have a private talk with this executive Miyagawa, and hoped to introduce himself directly to Keijiro Isato immediately. Executive Miyagawa seemed to be going to the bathroom, so he went to the corridor in silence.A geisha hurriedly chased her out. Tokuyama watched Miyagawa off, looking very happy. "Executive has shown great interest in our cause. Insurance no problem." While Tokuyama was busy dealing with the flirting of the young geisha beside him, Hongzhi also got up and left. Executive Miyagawa was wiping his hands.The geisha who came out with him did not know where to hide.This is an excellent opportunity for Hongzhi. "Mr. Executive," he smiled and approached Miyagawa with a slight salute. "Oh!" Miyagawa smiled kindly. "I have a request." Hong Zhi said. "Oh?" Miyagawa's kind eyes were filled with gentle wrinkles, and he narrowed his eyes kindly and looked at Hongzhi's face. "To be honest...I didn't tell Executive Tokuyama." "Oh, really?" A slight laugh escaped from his mouth. "I would like to ask the executive to introduce me to the local president." "Oh, really?" The handkerchief wrapped around the executive's fingertips like a magic trick. "Of course, it's not going right away." Hong Zhi said excitedly. "The president must have a lot of things to do every day, so can you please convey my wishes to Mr. Executive. If you have a convenient time, please let me know, I will be there whenever you are called." "Really?" "I respect the chairman of the soil. Oh, it is easy to misunderstand it as flattery. But in today's financial world, there are really few powerful factions like the chairman. For young people like us, it is indeed very important." Charismatic...Moreover, on the basis of the chairman's belief or firm will, he vigorously promotes the development of his career, which makes me awe-inspiring." "Really?" "I'm just a mutual bank clerk. Of course, I also know that people secretly call us 'endless shop'. But we value our business and do everything possible to raise the bank to the level of ordinary banks. To this end, We want to do business like a city bank. This must rely on the protection of the president, otherwise there is no hope of success." "Really?" "Therefore, I would like to ask the chairman to listen to my own thoughts, ask him to point out the fallacies and express the future." No matter what Koji said, Miyagawa just repeated "Oh, is that so".The gentle smile on Miyagawa's face spread like spring sunshine to the surroundings.A few silver hairs shone in the light.Miyagawa finally let go of the white handkerchief, folded it carefully and put it in his trouser pocket. "Mr. Executive, when can I see the president?" Hong Zhi saw Miyagawa listening to him calmly, so he took advantage of the situation to inquire.Otherwise, it would be too far-fetched, and something real must be done. "Yes!" The executive still tilted his head with a smile on his face. "Anyway, the president is very busy!" "That is. However, I can visit you anytime. Please don't forget about it, Mr. Executive. Please introduce me." I see.For the first time, Miyagawa expressed his attitude to Koji Shiokawa. It was inappropriate for the two of them to return to the banquet together, so Hongzhi deliberately delayed for a while.He pretended to want to sober up and came to the yard.The courtyard is small, but elegant and interesting.Stars twinkle in the dark night sky.He took a deep breath, and the cool night wind filled his heart, as if he also breathed hope into his heart. Executive Miyagawa has already agreed to the request, with a smile and kindness on his face all the time.Yes, Keijiro will see you soon.Hongzhi had read all kinds of rumors in newspapers and magazines, but when he thought of the opportunity to meet the person he wanted to be close to, he directly connected this move with the development of his destiny. What Hongzhi said to Executive Miyagawa was indeed not flattery for the occasion.He firmly believes that only he has the value of being recognized by this new power in the financial world.He is full of confidence and considers himself to be superior. Executive Miyagawa accepted the request very happily, without any problems.However, the executive just smiled and listened to his story but did not take the initiative to agree on a time, which seemed to be a fly in the ointment.However, the executive also has its own scope of power, so it cannot be agreed without authorization.Rather than agreeing hastily, this cautious attitude made Hongzhi feel relieved.Although they are all directors, they have different tastes from Tokuyama and his like.Yes, if the president and vice president of his own bank were to stand beside Executive Miyagawa, they would definitely pale in comparison. In the next hour, Koji and Tokuyama executives entertained Executive Miyagawa.Finally, the two watched the executive leave by car. "Okay, okay!" Executive Tokuyama patted himself on the shoulder and looked at Hongzhi with a smile. "My mission is also complete!" "Oh, thank you very much!" Hongzhi sincerely thanked Tokuyama for his connection. "How does it feel?" Tokuyama asked smugly. "Oh, I've heard a lot of rumors, but I don't know that he is so majestic. Although he is smiling all the time, he is calm and composed. He is neither pretentious nor ostentatious, but he feels very majestic and admirable!" Hong Zhi said to him. Executive Miyagawa was full of praise, and this was also his true feeling. "You were convinced right away?" Deshan manager smiled with satisfaction. "Totally convinced. Just based on this, it also shows that Tu has become today's powerful faction because of the gathering of these talents around him. It is Tu who has the insight to recognize talents, and is by no means a mediocre person. He really deserves to be a leader in the financial world." Hongzhi said at this time There is only one dream, which is to become the right-hand man of the master.But this must not allow Tokuyama to see the details. Hongzhi thought to himself that Tokuyama may have been appreciated by Shitu to some extent, but he is definitely not material for Shitu's confidant.He always brags that the soil will support him, but it may not be the case.It is estimated that in Shitu's eyes, Deshan is at most a talented person who is easy to use. At least his own ability can win Shitu's favor more than Deshan. However, it is still necessary to cooperate with Deshan at the moment, and then leave Deshan at the right time and go to the soil. Deshan is just a springboard.When it comes to the springboard, he must spend a considerable amount of money, and he must pay a corresponding price for using him as a springboard. In other words, this is Hongzhi's capital investment to gain a foothold.Although his own bank has a strong tendency to contribute capital, it still has to force Changgang's Xinzi's family to spend a huge amount of money.Xinzi's father is very speculative. If he told him that he was really backed by soil, he might increase his investment. This time he must emphasize this point.In his heart, he had already started gearing up. Tokuyama's executive suggested that we go to the bar to sit together, but Hongzhi politely declined. "I've got another guest to see." "You are also a busy person!" Tokuyama said with a smile. "It's a good thing to be busy. Otherwise, please go to my good place next time." "Thank you for your kindness this time. Mr. Tokuyama, we should use this as an opportunity to work closely together." Hongzhi felt his long-lost college passion erupt again.However, the moment he saw Miyagawa, he felt that Tokuyama had become despicable, and there was nothing he could do about it. "Of course!" Tokuyama held Hongji's hand tightly. Hiroshi seemed to suddenly remember something. "By the way, Mr. Executive, I'm going to Nagano tomorrow to do something." "Business trip?" "It's not a business trip. Our bank has a customer with a large amount of money. I'm going to do asset investigation and take part in a golf game along the way." "How wonderful! You are such a busy person, you should find time to play once in a while. Excuse me, are you a pretty good golfer?" "Where?" Seeing Deshan's urgent question, Hongzhi told him that he was almost alone. "Then maybe it's still my strong opponent! When I build a tourist hotel this time, let's have an opening ceremony match at the nearby golf course!" "Okay!" Hiroshi smiled. "Really, I also want to ask, you have a clerk in Kofu, right?" "Yes." Deshan looked suspicious. "I want to meet him and find out about the local situation." "Oh? That's what I've been wishing for...then do you want to live in Kofu?" "It's possible. It would be tiring enough to go to Nagano to take a breath." "Then, are you leaving tonight?" "Yes. I'll go to see him first, and then I'll go to Kofu. It's convenient to go to Nagano from there." "You may not need a letter of introduction if you want to meet that person. However, it's better to bring it with you when you meet for the first time." "sorry to bother you." The pick-up car stopped outside the hall, Deshan took out his business card, put it on the table and wrote quickly. "If you hold this, you can treat him as your subordinate. From him, you can ask the matter clearly. If there is anything suspicious, feel free to come to me at any time... that young man is good!" Deshan Watching Hongzhi hand over his business card, a subtle smile appeared on his face. When Hongzhi arrived at Shinjuku Station, Zhilizi was desperately searching for passengers coming out of the underground passage on the platform.The train leaves in five minutes. "You're dawdling!" Zhi Lizi ran over as soon as she saw Hong Zhi.She was wearing a new lemon-yellow dress and a snow-white sun hat. Hongzhi also felt his eyes light up. "You dress really well!" "Yeah! I'm so happy! Can't wait. I'm a little worried." "What are you worried about?" "You only say good things, who knows if you will change your mind and cancel it. You always change as you say." "Not this time." It takes only two and a half hours from Shinjuku to Kofu by express train.The two sat next to each other in the seats. The peak tourist season is drawing to a close, and the second-class compartments are filled with the last group of young people heading for the mountain. The train is like a wagon carrying rucksacks and ice sticks.However, this is a first-class compartment after all, there are no burly mountaineering men, and there is no rucksack on the luggage rack. "Are you staying in Kofu City tonight?" Zhi Lizi asked looking out the window at the lights passing by the Ogikubo area. "Don't live in the city, live in a hot spring hotel." "I see, Yumura, right?" "That's right. Oh? You know it well!" "Don't guess, I only know the name of the place." "Who did you ask?" “那当然是无意中听到的啦！你不在的时候，我也跟其他人闲聊呢！”枝理子瞪了弘治一眼，不过仍显得十分开心。车中的两个半小时并不无聊。两人在甲府站下了车。 “旅馆在哪儿？” “泷和宾馆。” “这么晚去，会有空房间吗？” “我已经用你的名字发电报预定好了。” “哎哟，你倒想得挺周到！” 轿车路过甲府市区，十分钟后来到汤村路口。泷和宾馆就在温泉街入口附近。 “欢迎光临！”睡眼惺忪的年轻女服务员出来迎接两人。快一点钟了。 “请问，您贵姓？” “东京的成泽。”成泽是枝理子的姓。 “啊，有预约的。谢谢惠顾。” “是好房间吧？” “是的。我们都是特A级房间。”女服务员微笑着回答。 两人在房间里安顿好，年轻女服务员离去，另一位沉稳的中年女服务员来问候。 “你负责这个房间吗？”弘治盯着她问道。 "yes." “是吗……那、我想冒昧地问个事儿。一周之前有个叫盐川的女人住在这儿，你知道吗？哦，或许她没有使用盐川这个名字……看上去二十七、八岁，瘦高个儿挺苗条的。好像穿着白色套裙，带着黑色衣箱。” 枝理子在旁边脸色紧张起来。
