In the banquet hall, the harmonious atmosphere returned.
The frightened guests forced themselves to smile and chat to liven up the atmosphere.
However, the occasional glances he gave at the main seat were filled with fear.
They never expected that Sakaki Makoto would be involved with both the Black Organization and the Kamishin Group.
Be it the Black Organization or the Shin-Gen Group, they are not people they can afford to provoke.
Even Gin was invited...
He is a big boss who is hard to find...
It seems that what Makoto Sakaki said on TV was sincere.
After all...he is a gangster.
Sakaki Makoto sat back in his seat, picked up the porcelain bottle of sake on the table and filled Takayama Yue's glass.
"Team Leader Gao Shan, please."
"Still calling me team leader?"
The more Gao Shan looked at Sakaki Makoto, the more satisfied he became.
Being handsome comes second.
The key is to be ambitious, thick-skinned and courageous...
If he could become his son-in-law, Gao Shanyue would be able to retire with peace of mind and pass the position of leader of the Shangxin group to him.
I have no sons, only a daughter.
As Gao Shanyue gets older, the question becomes who will be the next leader of the Shangxin Group.
The young players that the group is more optimistic about include Ishikawa Hide, Akutsu Shinichiro, Fujiwara Daisuke and other young players.
However, except for Ishikawa Hide, others have been unable to control their temper in recent years and want to take action against Takayama Rumi.
As long as I am here, they dare not cause trouble, but if one day I am gone...
What should I do if I want to study in the United States?
This is what worries Gao Shan the most.
But now, with the appearance of Sakaki Makoto, he can entrust Takayama Rumi to him with peace of mind.
Even if there is no affection, you can still cultivate it slowly!
"Well....."
Sakaki Makoto felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
What else can you call me if not team leader?
You can't just call him father-in-law!
The key point is that he didn’t agree to marry Takayama Rumi!
After hesitating for a while, Gao Shanyue was the first to break the silence.
After clinking glasses with Sakaki Makoto, he smiled and said:
"Just continue to call me Team Leader Gaoshan."
"But you can't address Liumei with honorifics anymore."
"Since we're friends, just call me by my name!"
Sakaki Makoto thought about it and thought it was okay, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll just call you Liumei."
Takayama Rumi's cheeks blushed:
"Um...."
The banquet continued, but Sakaki Makoto could no longer eat.
I just ate a lot and I'm full.
By half past nine, the banquet was gradually coming to an end.
Gao Shanyue stood up, raised his glass, and said to the guests on the left:
"Today is my 60th birthday. Thank you all for coming to support me despite your busy schedule. Here, I would like to offer a toast to everyone."
After saying that, Gao Shanyue drank it all in one gulp, and the guests picked up their glasses and toasted him back.
"Let the party end here."
"It's still early. I have prepared a room for everyone to have a chat. Please move in."
This is the highlight.
The guests chose to attend Gao Shanyue's birthday party not just to build good relationships with the new group.
The party after the banquet is the main purpose of their participation.
The celebrities followed Gao Shanyue into the salon.
[The word salon originated from the Italian word salotto, which is the transliteration of the French word salon. It originally referred to the luxurious reception room in the residence of the French upper class.]
The gentle yellow warm light shone down, and the long dining table covered with white cloth was placed with fruits and cakes. The waiters in white clothes bent respectfully to welcome the guests.
Unlike a Japanese-style banquet hall, this place looks like the venue where medieval European nobles held balls.
The guests walked into the party hall one by one. Gao Shanyue watched the scene with a smile and placed his hand on Sakaki Makoto's shoulder:
"Come on, I'll introduce you to some people."
As if leading the younger generation to meet old friends, Takayama Yue, Sakaki Makoto, and Takayama Rumi walked towards a table.
Beside the table stood a man and a woman.
The man, wearing a dark green suit and holding a pipe, had a shoe-horn face, eyebrows pressed against his eyelids, a mustache like a boomerang, and a dangerous hairline that meant he was running towards the path of becoming a strong man.
The girl was wearing a pink miniskirt with high-heeled shoes, brown wavy hair that fell over her shoulders, a sweet smile, and a pair of big, innocent eyes.
They were chatting and laughing, but stopped when they saw Takayama Yue.
"Happy birthday to you, Team Leader Gaoshan."
Gao Shanyue raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you."
"Let me introduce you. This is Sakaki Makoto, my future son-in-law."
The corner of Sakaki Makoto's mouth twitched slightly.
Son-in-law-to-be...
Could you put it more tactfully?
"Sakaki Makoto, these two are my friends, the famous architect Teiji Moriya and the national idol star Okino Yoko."
"This garden was designed by Mr. Moritani."
Sakaki Makoto's eyes lit up.
Architects are very rich.
They get at least tens of millions in commission for designing a building.
And it can be said that Gao Shanyue is a famous architectural designer...
He is definitely not an ordinary person.
Sakaki Makoto stretched out his hand and shook hands with Teiji Moriya and Yoko Okino.
"We have heard of Mr. Sakaki Makoto's name for a long time."
Moriya Teiji smiled and said:
"Who doesn't know about Mr. Sakaki's scolding of the Metropolitan Police Department?"
