He first asked his butler to bring him the latest newspaper, and sure enough, he saw the report in the Asahi Shimbun.
He slapped his forehead in annoyance, knowing that what he said yesterday would probably be laughed at by Fujiwara no Jiro.
However, it is not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost.
At this time, Tokugawa Iehatsu no longer cared about his dignity as the head of the Tokugawa family, nor the harsh words he had said to the father and daughter of the Lin family.
He quickly called the president of Dragon Jump magazine, Keiko Kobayashi.
However……
Beep, beep, beep…
It's always busy tone!
Tokugawa Iehashi was speechless. As the head of the Tokugawa family, his daily affairs were not so busy!
It took me half an hour to finally get through after dialing the number.
"Moshi! Moshi! This is Dragon Jump magazine. I'm Erika Matsuma, the secretary of Ms. Keiko Kobayashi. May I ask who you are?"
The person who answered the phone was the secretary Erika Matsuma. As soon as this voice came out, Tokugawa Iehatsu felt a little insulted.
After all, he is the head of the Tokugawa family. He took the initiative to call a junior. Not only did he have to wait in line for half an hour before he could get through, but in the end, the person who answered his call was just a secretary assistant?
So, Tokugawa Iehata said unhappily: "I am Tokugawa Iehata, let Keiko answer the phone, right now!"
"Mr. Tokugawa! Okay! Okay! Please wait a moment."
Erika Matsuma, who had worked for Lin Tongchun's Central Industrial Corporation for several years, naturally knew who Tokugawa Iehatsu was.
Moreover, she was also more aware of the grievances between the Lin family and the Tokugawa family.
When she heard that the person on the other side was the head of the Tokugawa family, her heart trembled a few times. She dared not delay any more and immediately said to Kobayashi Keiko anxiously:
"President Kobayashi, it's a phone call! It's from the head of the Tokugawa family. His tone is a bit bad, and he wants you to answer the phone immediately!"
Kobayashi Keiko, who was reading the data feedback file, didn't even raise her eyelids. She said to Matsuma Erika with a sarcastic smile on her face:
"Just tell him I'm not here! And then hang up the phone."
Matsuma Erika's expression suddenly became even uglier, and she pointed at the open microphone and said:
"President Kobayashi, the other party must have heard what you just said. How can I say this..."
"Just say it!"
However, Keiko Kobayashi did not feel embarrassed at all and did not take Tokugawa Iehashi, the head of the Tokugawa family, seriously at all.
Tokugawa Iehashi on the other end of the phone was already in a bad mood, and after hearing these conversations, he almost exploded with anger.
When Erika Matsuma picked up the phone and wanted to tell Tokugawa Iedan in person that "President Kobayashi is not here", she found that the phone had been hung up.
"What should we do? Xiaolin Society, I'm afraid that the head of the Tokugawa family is angry!"
Erika Matsuma asked a little worriedly.
"So what? He has the freedom to get angry, and I have the freedom not to answer the phone!
That's enough! I've been so busy these days.
I don't have time to care about these random people!"
Wow!
If word of Kobayashi Keiko's tone were to get out, it would scare most Japanese people to death.
This is the head of the Tokugawa family!
In Keiko Kobayashi's mouth, they became "idle people" who were not presentable.
"Damn it! Baka! Baka Yalu! Huizi, I'm her uncle!
How can you be so disrespectful to an elder like me?"
Tokugawa Iehashi was furious, but he had no way to deal with Kobayashi Keiko.
At this moment, the housekeeper came up to him with a look of regret and said, "Master, big companies like Sony and Mitsubishi..."
"Are their representatives here? All right! Given their status and rank, they can only be entertained in the second-class banquet hall. You lead them there!
I'll leave them alone for half an hour, then go over..."
Tokugawa Iedan narrowed his eyes, put away his previous attitude, and spoke proudly with airs.
However……
The housekeeper said helplessly: "No... No! These companies did not send anyone over.
They said... there's no need to talk to our Tokugawa family. The advertising department of Dragon Jump has already held a bidding meeting and asked... whether we knew about this.
I said I didn’t know, and they completely ignored me…”
"What? What did Huizi do? How dare she make the decision on her own on such an important matter as holding an advertising bidding meeting? Who gave her the power and courage?"
Tokugawa Iehata was even more furious. He was even prepared to use the popularity of "Dragon Jump" to suppress these emerging entrepreneurs!
As a result, apart from losing face, he gained nothing.
The butler quickly reminded Tokugawa Iedan: "Master! Miss Keiko's Dragon Jump is not a company or asset under the name of our Tokugawa family!
I...we have no binding force or authority over it..."
