Chapter 167 168. Ceiling and Chidorigafuchi
Temperament is a mysterious but real thing.
Some people are weak, some people are strong.
The sunlight passing through the colorful glass windows reflects in a fragmented beauty on the feet of a pair of crossed legs, giving people a noble and majestic look.
At least Ishikawa Satomi knew this was not an illusion.
She saw the traces of time from the wrinkles that were not very visible at the corner of the other person's eyes, and knew that he was not young, but the aura of a superior person that could not be ignored was like the sun, squeezing her originally dark heart. Reached a remote corner.
Her long dark black hair exudes luster, her well-fitting yet beautiful women's suit looks majestic, and her black and red-soled high heels wrap her feet. Dayi sees Reiko while drinking tea and looking at the documents casually.
"Dayi meets Sang, long time no see."
Takitanizawa directly crossed the distance of more than half of the tea room to pull up a chair and sit down, while motioning to Ishikawa Satomi.
“Is this how the word long time no see is used?”
Dayi said quietly when she saw Lianzi without raising her head.
"friend?"
"I want a better relationship."
"Ah."
This sentence did not make Dayi have any strange reaction when she saw Lianzi. Every time she met alone, or when there were unimportant people present, her attention was always on the documents, as if they were very important.
She didn't bring the child with her this time. She was alone when she came in. She didn't know how the child was doing.
After waiting quietly for 2 minutes, when the teahouse service staff brought tea to him and Ishikawa Satomi on a tray, Daigi raised his head when he saw Reiko and looked at Takitani Ze.
"I'm curious. If you bring your girlfriend to see me, aren't you afraid that some people will find out and break something?"
"It seems that Dayi Jian Sang has guessed it."
"Yeah, I guessed it. I didn't believe you at first. I just wanted to see what tricks you could do. It's still a bit mysterious now."
"Then what are you going to do? Take me away?"
Hearing this answer, Takitanizawa, who was adding sugar and milk to the black tea, couldn't help but make a joke.
There was no doubt that the matter was exposed.
It refers to the incident of Takiya Ze pulling the skin of a tiger.
The power of the consortium is unimaginable. It's not just a few bodyguards who can talk to high-level people. When investigating an ordinary person like him, even one yen of bank statements can be investigated to the bottom. Just listen to this thing about information security. In fact, there is no real safety.
What's more, the banner that Takiyazawa originally fought was obviously unfair. Even if the plug-in could help him save his life at Daiyi Mireiko's place, it would not distort people's basic cognition and defensive psychology.
Of course, Takitanizawa does not have a prominent background.
Even if we count for countless generations, there has never been a big shot with the surname Takiya. Even this surname was born in a mountain village in Shizuoka.
So even if you feel weird about him because he is too ordinary at first, after eliminating all wrong options, you can verify other aspects, such as the fact that Taimi Reiko actually contacted people from Mitsubishi to test it out, Takitanizawa The exposure is obvious.
But he wasn't panicking.
Risks are directly proportional to returns. Of course, the amount of benefits you bear must have the corresponding risk-taking ability.
"I actually don't hate deception." Dayi saw Lianzi pause and raised his eyes and said, "But I hate betrayal."
This is not the first time she has said this.
The last time I talked about it was in Osaka.
Moreover, he also performed a vivid act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys for Takitani Ze. To this day, we still don’t know whether the man is okay or what the environment is like under Osaka Bay.
"This doesn't count, you continue."
"You say it doesn't count?"
"It doesn't count." Takiguzawa stretched out his hand and said, "How about we shake hands and this matter will be over."
When Dayi saw Lianzi glance at his hand, there was no strange look on his face, but he pursed his lips and said nothing, and his attitude was much colder than before.
It was obvious that Takitanizawa's proposal was not very good.
"Accompany me to attend a wedding in a few days." She was silent for a moment, but in the end she didn't press him to bring anyone.
"Just attending the wedding?" Takigaze asked.
"No, we have to do it after participating."
Dayi saw Lianzi speaking in an extremely calm voice.
It was not just Takitanizawa who heard these words. He could clearly detect the change in the expression of Satomi Ishikawa, who had been as silent as a vase from the moment he entered, including the white-headed old man guarding the door of the teahouse.
Takitani Ze didn't refuse, he just smiled and said, "What's wrong, is there anything in me that you can use?"
Dayi saw Lianzi snorting in disbelief, glanced at him casually with an irresistible look, and then lowered his head to look at the documents.
The old man who looked like a butler frowned.
Takitanizawa was thoughtful and glanced at Ishikawa Satomi, who was a little stunned, but after thinking for too long, he saw Taiyi get up and leave directly after seeing Reiko, without even saying hello to him, let alone waving goodbye.
As the rhythmic stamping of high-heeled shoes faded away, the packed teahouse returned to silence.
After a while, no waiter came to remind me.
It seems like it will end when they leave.
This meeting was very short, barely a few words were spoken, and very little information was revealed, but it already gave Ishikawa Satomi enough shock. At least for her, she had never thought it would be like this before coming.
Takiyazawa retracted his gaze from the horizon, moved his gaze back to her face and said, "Understood?"
"Well, indeed, you can't help yourself."
"Don't you want to challenge me? Everything outside of you is just a passing cloud. Don't you always believe that the heart is the most important thing? At the worst, you will withdraw your investment and leave."
"Having self-knowledge is the greatest wisdom."
"Then remember it well, otherwise you will disregard the rules of the game if you indulge in your comfort zone for too long."
Takitanizawa took a gentle sip, blowing away the dense aroma on the surface of the black tea, as if driving away the fog. After taking two sips, he put down the tea cup, and the bottom of the cup and the exquisite tray emitted a crisp and spiritual whisper.
"But what I want to explain is that everyone has the right not to play games, but since they want to play, no one can escape the rules of the game. When playing a game, no one will always be just a newcomer. You can see the barriers. You can also cross the barrier and become a barrier.”
"I would like to guess that you actually don't like a too peaceful life, but you have touched the ceiling."
"I can give you a chance to break. Whether you are willing to try or not is your question. At the same time, while assuming obligations, you must also fulfill your rights, and give back what you give."
Ishikawa Satomi slowly raised her head and used her fingers to smooth away the green hair on the side of her cheek.
A flash of understanding appeared in her pupils.
At the same time, the already dead heart felt as if a powerful dose of medicine had been injected into it, and vitality burst out again. Although it was very weak, it would not disappear.
Everyone has the nature to play games.
She seemed to have found her true path.
It has to be said that this trick of using force to suppress tea is quite easy to use and has quick and powerful just doesn't know what will happen next.
But no matter how you think about it, it is undoubtedly a good choice and the best way to suppress the dissatisfaction of the tea ceremony quasi-emperor with the help of a detached and powerful man named Dayi Jianreiko.
When people have nothing to do, they will look for trouble.
Greed has no end.
But as long as there is a hard barrier in front of what she wants to get, then if she still wants to get it, she needs to break the barrier or give up directly. Both results are good for him.
His relationship with Satomi Ishikawa is not deep.
If I'm serious about it, I guess it's only a few kilograms.
The reason for being able to stick together is nothing more than the attraction of like, the preservation of a sense of mystery, and the fact that the cost of silence for a long time has not been recovered. Takitani Ze is extremely self-aware of his personal charm, but he does not dare to compare it with the big names in the industry. Talk about love.
To be successful, you must have no woman in your heart.
But having no women in your heart does not mean there are no women around you.
However, it can be said that Takitanizawa has been walking on a tightrope in almost every film during this period. Until now, there are still several major hidden dangers that cannot be solved. This can be regarded as a shortcoming of the soft rice sermon, especially in the face of the invisible star Akikawa Ai. bomb, Takitanizawa said it was a lot of pressure.
He needs a break now to relieve stress.
So after leaving the Red Brick Square and driving Ishikawa Satomi back to his apartment, he turned back again, intending to put an end to this outing.
[-]pm, Chiyoda Ward.
As a famous cherry blossom spot, Chidorigafuchi really doesn't have many people in the summer. There are only old people walking their dogs and women taking their children for a walk after meals.
There are also boats rowing on the river in the dark.
Looking up, you can see Tokyo Tower standing in the distance just in the middle of the high-rise buildings on both sides, as well as the orange-hued red and white light it emits in the dark night, and the evening breeze of the summer night is slightly warmer.
Although there is no fragrance of flowers in Chidorigafuchi now, it is one of the few quiet places in Chiyoda area.
"Are you so busy at work?" Takiguzawa asked.
"For me, I only work when I want to be busy."
"Don't you plan on giving yourself a holiday?"
"What kind of vacation can I take? Although my job seems to be open all year round, there are not many people in the country who can do it."
This truth makes people speechless, but it is indeed much better than those in Versailles. At least it will not cause disgust, and they know that obligations and rights are equally important.
He made an appointment with Dayi Jianlianzi again.
To be precise, it wasn't him making an appointment, but the other party obviously didn't get to the point in the afternoon because he brought Ishikawa Satomi there. Although she came to Tokyo for work, she probably wouldn't come to see him if she had nothing to do.
However, the adult world is relatively hypocritical, so they mostly chatted on the road and said nothing else.
Of course, small talk doesn’t mean talking nonsense.
"Why didn't that kid Ge Yi follow you this time?"
"I gave her permission to hang out."
"I believe it this time. You are indeed a person who can listen to suggestions. If you have good security, you should be fine."
"I just think she's going to go through it sooner or later."
"So, you are not as good as me in terms of parenting ideas. After all, you are choosing a successor. If there is a boy and a girl, it is best for the girl not to have to suffer such hardships, but if so, it will be more cruel than the boy."
"You came to me just to take credit?"
"Absolutely. You can understand it this way. I don't ask for too much. Can you spend 100 billion on me?"
"Why, other people's soft rice is not enough?"
When he said this, Dayi turned his head and glanced at Lianzi, with a rare look of ridicule on his unsmiling face.
Of course, there are more than just cherry blossoms in Chidorigafuchi.
The winding path near the river was paved with cobblestones, and Dayi saw that Reiko was not wearing high heels.
After she said this, she stopped leaving and waved her hand in the direction behind her, signaling the bodyguards who were following them to stay away. Dayi saw that Lianzi himself sat down on the big bluestone beside the river.
"Sit." She patted the seat next to her.
Takitanizawa pondered for a moment and sat down cross-legged.
Because of wearing high heels, Dayi Jianreiko did not wear socks. Her feet did not look small, and they were not even fair. Instead, they were richer than the marks left by time on her cheeks.
From this alone, everyone can see that Dayi Jianlianzi is a person who likes to practice the truth with actions.
Before Takiyazawa could speak, she added: "Since you want to eat my soft rice, you must pay first. This is what you said yourself, so prove it first."
"How do you want me to prove it?"
Seeing that Lianzi seemed to have the answer, Dayi said casually while arranging her clothes: "I'm tired, let's put a pillow on my knees."
"I'm sorry, there's something wrong with my legs, but I can carry you in my arms."
Takiguzawa's disguised refusal made Dayi Jianreiko even wonder if he did it on purpose. After frowning and looking back, she was sure it was intentional, but she just snorted and did not continue to ask.
Just when Takitani Ze thought she felt that he had not agreed and was about to say something, he saw her leaning over.
"Don't make any noise and let me rest for a while."
Dayi, who was lying on his side in his arms, said to Reiko.
But even though she said this, Takitani Ze could clearly feel her tight skin. It was obvious that he was not comfortable leaving her back to him, so he remained vigilant.
But it also relaxes as time passes.
If Tsukiko Minashi fell in love with him like a companion to a king, then Takitani Ze was about the same with her.
The water flows quietly in the darkness.
Dayi saw that Lianzi's breathing gradually stabilized.
Takitani Ze was not a machine, and it was impossible for him to hold her and sit motionless by the river. That would be torture for him, but he didn't look at his phone either. It seemed that staying in such a quiet place amidst the chaos was indeed very artistic.
What's more, Dayi saw that Reiko had a good figure. Her collarbones showed pure white under the moonlight, her bust was plump, her waist was slender, her legs were long, and her inner thighs were so voluptuous that she was like a large pillow in her arms.
"What I said in the afternoon was false." She said suddenly.
"The sudden words almost scared me to death." Takiguzawa said a little speechlessly: "Which sentence are you referring to?"
"Get married." She opened her eyes faintly.
"I know, even if there is a reason, I really can't imagine that someone with your status would marry someone like me, so it was just a counterattack?"
"It's not about fighting back, it's about your reaction."
"What about the results now?"
When Dayi saw Lianzi looking into his eyes in his arms, he chuckled and said, "It's a bit disappointing to me."
