Nagano Nao arrived at Tsutsumi-fu the next day.

He was received by an old lady, who was in her fifties or sixties. She was not pretty but surprisingly kind. After he introduced himself, he came to the living room at the invitation.

After the hangover, Seiji Tsutsumi has returned to his normal self.

He is already in his sixties, looks average, a little thin, and doesn't look very dignified.

With dim eyes and droopy face, he looks like an ordinary old man.

But Naoto Nagano did not dare to take it lightly at all. This kind of person was a legend when he was young, and he was a giant in the three fields of politics, business, and culture. The other party might be able to detect his purpose with just one word from him.

How should I start? Mr. Di? Comrade?

Nagano Nao really wanted to slap himself.

He suddenly realized that compared to Tsutsumi Yoshiaki whom he had met, Tsutsumi Seiji, who had a fourth-level identity, was probably the most terrifying existence in the Tsutsumi family.

An idea suddenly occurred to me.

Nagano Nao bowed 90 degrees with the etiquette of a student greeting a teacher and said, "Hello, sir. I am Nagano, a student, and I hope I will not disturb your rest!"

A student.

Seiji Tsutsumi was obviously a little surprised.

He never accepted any students in his life.

However, because of his works, many people call him "Sir".

Thinking that the young man was influenced by his work, Seiji Tsutsumi showed a friendly smile.

Please ask Naoto Nagano to sit down.

Tsutsumi Seiji then asked him why he came.

Nao Nagano said honestly: "Because Nagano is responsible for the Japan Life Insurance Asset Management Company, I have read Mr.'s criticism of consumerism and I am deeply worried about the current prevalence of consumerism overdrawing the future of the people and the country. So with the help of friends, I produced a program, hoping to call on society to pay attention to the social problem of population decline caused by current capital exploitation.

But because Nagano has little experience, I hope to get your guidance. "

Hearing this.

The drunken look in Seiji Tsutsumi's eyes visibly brightened.

In today's world where young people are all pursuing money, fame, and women, are there still such upright young people who care about social issues? He looks very manly! He must be as upright as I was when I was young!

With this thought in mind, Seiji Tsutsumi said calmly, "What kind of program is it, Nagano, you can tell me about it."

"Hey, Nagano brought a video tape. If it doesn't bother you, sir, how about you watch it first?"

“.”

The videotape was put into the VCR by Mrs. Di.

Boom boom!

Arise, you starving slaves, arise, you suffering people of the world

Who created the human world?

We are the working people.

Everything belongs to the workers, how can we tolerate parasites! The most hateful are those poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.

Eat up our flesh and blood.

Once they are wiped out,

The bright red sun shines all over the world. The deep and stirring melody has the power to make one's blood boil.

Nagano Nao observed Seiji Tsutsumi's expression calmly, but found that his eyes suddenly lit up and even a blush appeared on his face.

This made Nagano Nao very confused.

How can a man in his sixties, who has experienced so many legendary lives that ordinary people cannot experience, still be excited by a song?

But he didn't know.

What does this song mean in Seiji Tsutsumi's world?

Over the years, he has been hungover every day, accompanied by sake, but even with a hangover, he can't forget every little bit of the past.

He could only watch as his comrades were arrested, and assisted his father in signing the Japan-US Security Treaty.

His former comrades-in-arms paid with their blood for this, and even some girls died for it, but he betrayed the working class.

And with the passing of our comrades, the world has become dirty again, full of capital exploitation and oppression, and the red sun has never risen here.

And now.

Hear this song and hear your own voice in it.

It was like going back to forty years ago, when I was in the Central Chorus with my comrades, using singing to appeal to society and fight against those capitalists.

Listening to the song.

Yokohama Ikuo was stunned.

Naoyo Nagano would never have dreamed that this song contained the voice of Ikuo Yokohama.

People like him will never be able to understand what kind of faith and will the Red Ocean represented in the hearts of that generation.

that's all.

Apart from the singing, the house was silent.

In the songs, young people talk about the hardships of today's life, the difficulty of getting married, the seemingly endless housing prices, and the despair of not being able to get married and have children.

Young faces, with self-mockery.

A pair of black eyes, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

What is most heart-wrenching is that those eyes are filled with despair and no light, as if they are the walking corpses.

Because I'm old.

It has been a long time since Seiji Tsutsumi has come into contact with the lower classes of society.

Data has no emotions. Although we know that life at the bottom is getting harder and harder, we never expected that young people today would be exploited to this extent.

Real estate! Can't afford a house.

It’s not that I don’t want to get married, but because we can’t afford to buy a house, my girlfriend followed someone else.

My wife and I also like children, but the place we rent now only has five folding floors, so there is really no way we can have a baby.

marry?

I don't want to think about it anymore. With this housing price, based on my current salary, I need at least 35,000 yuan to be able to buy a house.

It was like a sword stabbing my heart.

Seiji Tsutsumi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt.

Although, no one mentioned Seibu Group.

But the entire Seibu owns one-sixth of the land in Japan and has assets worth $165 billion. Everyone knows that the reason for all this is the Tsutsumi family.

At the end.

It was Nagano Nao who mentioned the relationship between social population and economy as an expert at the Institute of Biomedical Research.

It explains why Japan's life insurance policy has to postpone the retirement age, and the aging and declining birthrate population crisis that the Yamato people will face in the future.

The end.

It is the melody of the Internationale.

There was no singing, just low voices.

However, every melody was like the beating of a drum, causing Seiji Tsutsumi's expression to change again and again.

finally.

The videotape has finished playing.

The room was quiet. Apart from the sound of breathing, there was no other sound.

It was obvious that Seiji Tsutsumi's chest was rising and falling rapidly. After a long while, he calmed down and said, "Little comrade, which school are you from?"

Comrade?

Nagano Nao's expression was quite interesting. He endured the feeling of eating shit and said with shame: "The student is from Keio University."

Keio?

Seiji Tsutsumi's expression was also very interesting.

He knew better than anyone what the situation was like in Keio. The girls had been vain since childhood and traded their bodies for money, while the boys turned sex into a driving force and worked hard to make money.

The entire financial circle is in chaos and social morals are corrupted, all because that old bastard Fukuzawa Yukichi founded Keio!

"Are you a student at Keio University?"

Although I was born in Keio, I am a legitimate successor of communism! Nagano Nao said secretly, but could only nod.

At this point, he had some doubts that Ikeda Sakurako asked him to come because she didn't want to face this embarrassing situation! After all, Tsutsumi Seiji was a legend of the times. After confirming this answer, his eyes became calm.

"Nagano, what made you create this kind of program?"

"Before graduation, Nagano became a son-in-law for some reasons. During college, I have been reading your works, and I have always been deeply impressed by the current situation of capitalism running rampant and parasitic on society. Although my life has improved after graduation, many of my colleagues, friends, and subordinates are under the control of capital, and are getting further and further away from their ideals."

“.”

Naoto Nagano talks nonsense about politics and economics.

Seiji Tsutsumi listened silently, without any dissatisfaction or other expression on his face.

After Nagano Nao finished speaking, there was relative silence.

This made Nagano Nao feel a little uneasy. With Seiji Tsutsumi's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to see the purpose behind this program. Faced with blood ties, no one could guarantee what decision this big man would make.

a long time.

Tsutsumi Seiji said calmly: "I roughly understand why you are here."

Naoto Nao knew that the other party wanted him to leave, so he stood up and said, "I feel very uneasy for disturbing you for so long, and I hope to have the opportunity to listen to your teachings more!"

“.”

After all, blood is above all else!

Not getting the support he wanted, Nagano Nao felt a bit of a failure, but if blood ties could be easily severed, they would no longer be blood ties.

The phone rang.

Then Ikeda Sakurako's voice came over: "What is Mr. Tsutsumi's attitude?"

“No statement was made.”

"Just as I expected."

"What?"

"Don't straight men think that not expressing an opinion is the best opinion?"

"You mean?"

"Seibu Distribution has a huge cash flow, and Mr. Tsutsumi holds a pivotal position in the economic, political, and cultural fields. The best outcome would be if he does not support the Seibu Group."

"That's true!"

"Mie Konno will take office tomorrow."

"I see."

“.”

October 29th.

All major television stations and newspapers reported the news that Yasunori Mie, deputy governor of the Bank of Japan, would be appointed president.

This matter has nothing to do with ordinary people, so it didn't cause much sensation.

And at night.

Osaka Kobe TV also broadcast a news segment.

"Hello, are you married?"

"No!"

"Why haven't you gotten married at this age?"

"Because I can't find a wife!"

“.”

"My girlfriend ran off with a rich man!"

"Monthly income minus food and rent"

“.”
