Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Now that he has made a decision, Tao Zhiming naturally refers to the one he thinks is the most beautiful and temperamental.

She can stand in the C position, of course, because of this outstanding demeanor.

Sure enough, Anzhai Shanwei clapped his hands and smiled, "Da Lang, you have good eyesight!"

Tao Zhiming smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at the girl who was quietly walking towards him.

Does this still require vision?It must have been prepared long ago, right?Clearly a cut above the others.

Even the clothes are more refined.On the long black hair, there are light pink petals and white hairpins on the top of the head, and a white tie is tied at the end of the hair.

The pattern on the kimono has an elegant taste, wearing plain white socks on the feet, and stepping on the clogs with red belts "da da" After reaching the wooden platform here, he bowed his head and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Then, he took off his clogs, walked to Tao Zhiming's side, and sat down slowly.

The delicate fragrance slowly seeped into Tao Zhiming's nose.

"What's your name?" Tao Zhiming asked.

"Hoshino Ling." She turned her head and smiled, opening her mouth slightly to look at Tao Zhiming.

Seeing the question in her eyes, Tao Zhiming said, "My name is Tao."

Hoshino Ling bowed down to him, and formally introduced: "It's the first time we meet, please take care of me, Master Tao."

"Oh!" Anzhai Shanwei laughed boldly, "Dalang, by the way you look, are you going to take her away?"

Hoshino Ling just sat up, moved to get closer to him, and turned to look at him with hope in his eyes.

Tao Zhiming stretched out his hand to cover the back of her hand, with a stern expression on his face: "Executive Anzhai has said so, how can we miss such an opportunity?"

"That's it." Anzhai Shanwei shouted after laughing, "Mako!"

A middle-aged woman quickly walked into the room, bowed and shouted, "Lord Anzhai."

"This child's contract, take it here."

"Yes……"

There was light in Tao Zhiming's eyes, and Hoshino Ling had already moved a little further and knelt down on the ground: "Thank you very much. From now on, you will be Hoshino Ling's master."

The crisp voice echoed to the left, and Tao Zhiming turned his head to look over.

While something happened, the music and dancing on the terrace never stopped.

When he looked over there, he clearly saw some complex emotions of envy, loss and relief in their eyes.

Tao Zhiming didn't want to appear preoccupied at this moment, and asked Kinoshita Xiufeng, "Brother Xiufeng, how about you?"

"Forgive me." Kinoshita Hideka shook his head, "For me, this is a heavy burden."

Tao Zhiming's heart moved, and he looked at Anzhai Shanwei: "Executive, what is Ling's identity after all?"

"This." Anzhai Zenwei said with a smile, "This child has signed a lifelong work contract with this manor. Now that you have chosen him, the contract will be handed over to you."

Tao Zhiming glanced at Hoshino Ling who was next to him again, and asked softly, "Lifetime?"

It was Hoshino Suzu who looked at it, and it seemed like she asked the question.But Hoshino Ling just lowered his head, put his hand into his palm and didn't speak.

Tao Zhiming clearly felt that the fingers in his palm were a little cold, trembling slightly uneasy.

Anzhai Zenwei replied: "That's right. They are all children receiving etiquette training here. After passing the qualifications, they can go to various important positions and take important positions."

Tao Zhiming saw that he was full of nonsense, so it would be strange if he believed him.

Qualified or something, you have been touched, but you haven't been taken away, right?

To the important positions everywhere, it is probably still the reception work.

Tao Zhiming didn't know whether they were voluntary or coerced.After all, since coming in, these girls are obviously used to Anzhai Zenue's remarks about "domination" and his remarks about doing whatever he wants.

What Hideka Kinoshita said about the heavy burden obviously meant something else.

So Tao Zhiming asked calmly: "Professor, won't I have to pay any price to get such a beauty?"

"The price? How come?" He said this first, before putting away his smile, "Those who can enjoy this kind of courtesy are either the potential pillars of Sumitomo's core, or people who are extremely important to the future of Sumitomo. For Dalang There is no price for being a distinguished guest, it is just a friendship.”

"Friendship?" Tao Zhiming asked suspiciously.

"Yes. These children trust Sumitomo's bright future very much, so they left all the documents related to their identities in the manor, and we will take care of their welfare for the rest of their lives." Anzai Zenwei said without changing his expression. , "If Da Lang really likes this child and wants to control her complete future, then he can pay us a share of friendship. If this is also a price, it can probably be said to be the price of love!"

It was only then that Tao Zhiming realized that he was completely controlled at the level of identity.

Without these things, the so-called "lifetime benefits" are all arranged. Wouldn't it be impossible to move even if you are penniless, and you can only be a savage?

He pondered this in his heart, but immediately asked: "Then, what is this kind of friendship usually?"

Anzhai Shanwei smiled slightly, "It's just a promise."

"promise?"

"Yes, a man's promise!" Anzhai Shanwei lowered his head very seriously, "Ten years! In ten years, Mr. Tao can choose, but please choose one of the things we ask you to help us , to repay the friendship we paid first!"

"Ten years...a promise?" Tao Zhiming looked at his raised serious face, then at Hideka Kinoshita.

Meeting his gaze, Kinoshita Hidekaze's eyes suddenly became much sharper.

Tao Zhiming understood, this promise is not simple.

Sumitomo is bound to have the ability to guarantee that he will fulfill this commitment.Otherwise, there will be a real price to pay.

After today's meeting, Tao Zhiming officially entered the chess game of the big consortium.

Now, Sumitomo wants to hold the chess piece more gracefully, so that the player's thinking of the game and the empathy of the chess piece can be integrated.After this, it can be commanded like an arm.

This promise is the vote certificate.

The sacrifice was first provided by Sumitomo, a beautiful young woman.

Thinking of this, Tao Zhiming smiled and said, "Among those who received this courtesy, am I special?"

Anzhai Zenwei smiled back: "Of course. First, you are one of the youngest. Second, you rely on your own ability. Third, the establishment of trust between us has just begun, and we need to ask You conveyed our sincerity in rapidly deepening that trust."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "I see."

To put it very clearly, since then, the interests have been too closely involved, and the mutual trust between the two parties is still fragile. Tao Zhiming has placed himself in an important position in this private reform of the national railway.

Therefore, Sumitomo chose to put the largest possible benefit from him in the future.

Take Hoshino Ling as a sacrifice in exchange for a promise he made himself.

Saying this promise, he is standing on Sumitomo's front in all seriousness.

Once the promise is broken in the future, Sumitomo may face a bottomless blow.

A large consortium that has stood for such a long time has its broad bearing, and naturally it also has its thunderbolt methods.

Kinoshita Hidekaze's sharp eyes haven't restrained yet.

Just now he pretended to be powerless and said "forgive me", which has already expressed his attitude: the current relationship is very good.

Now, with sharp eyes, he conveyed the same suggestion to Tao Zhiming.

Anzhai Shanwei didn't mind his hint, because Tao Zhiming could accept this olive branch or not.

Accepted, there will be a level of cooperation in the future.Not accepting is another risk control method.

The middle-aged beautiful woman who left just now came back, holding a small red lacquered box in her hand.The box cover is engraved with patterns, and there is also a square bright yellow metal piece.On it should be the chiseled name in red: Hoshino Ling.

The moment Hoshino Suzu saw the box, longing appeared in Hoshino Suzu's eyes, and then she immediately lowered her head tightly.

Tao Zhiming felt her trembling hand and turned to look at her.

Eyebrows lowered, long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"How is it? Dalang, what do you think of this friendship?" Anzhai Shanwei's tone was extremely admirable, "Ling, this child's musical theory, dancing posture, and singing voice are all the top choices in the manor. Dalang, no matter the future How to arrange her is worthy of your pity, right?"

Kinoshita Hidekaze glanced at Anzhai Zenwei, took a sip from the wine glass, and then let out a loud breath, as if the wine was very strong.

The girl next to him quickly picked up the porcelain jug again and poured him wine.

Tao Zhiming was attracted by his voice and looked over, Kinoshita Shufeng shook his head and said: "The wine here is also the best choice!"

Anzhai Shanwei looked at him with a smile: "You, don't ruin your body just because you are greedy for alcohol. These children also know how to help you recuperate your body."

Kinoshita Hidekaze continued to shake his head: "I also understand a little bit about the kind of conditioning you mentioned."

Tao Zhiming laughed, thanking Kinoshita Xiufeng a little more in his heart.

Shaking his head and sending out a secret signal, it was still reminding him.

But Tao Zhiming turned his head, let go of Hoshino Ling's hand, but raised her chin, as if he was looking carefully at this appearance, whether it was worth it or not.

Hoshino Ling looked up at this strange face so close at hand, so young, so bright and handsome, with eyes as deep as the sea of ​​stars.

Tao Zhiming looked directly into her eyes and asked word by word, "Ling, do you want to come with me?"

At this point in the conversation during the banquet, the women who heard all this understood it in their hearts.

This young and handsome man didn't ask Sumitomo wholeheartedly, they were not like a reward, they would not be assigned such a task.

Conversely, it is the ten-year agreement that Sumitomo made a claim for.

Lord Anzhai said that he relied on his own ability.

For them, this is almost the perfect opportunity to leave here.With any luck, there might even be a slight chance of true freedom.

Even though another guest was hinting that he should not choose to make this promise, but this man seemed to be giving up the choice to Ling at this moment.

This kind of thinking also surged in Hoshino Ling's heart, she looked up at Tao Zhiming.

There was questioning and pity in his eyes.

His expression is very serious.

Although he was picking his chin and acting frivolously, he was asking himself if he wanted to go with him.

Those who can be invited here, who don't know the cherry blossoms they planted in the manor, of course want to have another life.

Think about it, what are you asking?

In fact, are you willing to entrust your loyalty to him completely in the future?

After all, she is a person cultivated here, who is not worried that she is a thread in the hands of Sumitomo?

So Hoshino Ling gently parted her vermilion lips, and said softly but firmly: "I am willing!"

Tao Zhiming's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put down his hands, embraced the soft waist beside him, and said loudly to Anzhai Shanwei, "It's worth pity! Brother Anzhai, we have made an agreement! In ten years, there will be a return!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the dancers swaying on the seaside of Izu under the moon all showed envious eyes.

Bell, one step closer to freedom.

As if because of the extra hands on her waist, Hoshino Ling's body trembled, and her eyes felt sour.

Amid Anzai Zenwei's hearty laughter, Kinoshita Hidekaze looked at him helplessly, and muttered, "How good is Suying Shrine?"

"Kinoshita-san, of course there is a difference!" Yoshie Anzhai finished speaking to Hideka Kinoshita with a smile, and then waved his hand.

The middle-aged beautiful woman named Zhenzi walked over on her knees, and put the red lacquered box beside Tao Zhiming, as if telling: "Ling, from now on, listen to the master!"

"...Ling, I will obey any orders from the master!"

Facing Hideka Kinoshita's "listen" eyes, Tao Zhiming responded calmly.

He is here to stir up trouble in Tokyo. He must always have allies and enemies.

Didn't he already have this awareness when he accepted the conditions proposed by Anzhai Shanwei that day?

At this moment, even if the woman in this arm is really a thread of Sumitomo, so what?

As long as she is willing, he is willing to take her out of here.

In ten years, what is it to fulfill a request from Sumitomo?

If it is to help Sumitomo fight Mitsubishi, Mitsui, even if it is an opponent in the United States, Tao Zhiming will not be afraid of anything!

Anyway, what is it please, there is a choice.

Let the battle between them be more intense.

He picked up the box with the other hand, placed it between Hoshino Ling's tight legs, and said, "Help me hold it first."

Hoshino Ling looked down at the box with her name engraved on it, and replied softly: "Yes, master..."

With ten slender fingers, she held the box tightly in her palm.

She turned her head and looked up, Master Tao was smiling all over her face, and her eyes were as bright as stars.
