"Ms. Sawaguchi, you want to use me as a shield!" Nagano Nao said with a smile, his tone full of deep ridicule.

Sawaguchi Yasuko also knew that this was embarrassing, and said a little embarrassedly: "Is it embarrassing for Nagano-kun? If it is really inconvenient."

"He's just the richest man, not to mention the former richest man. What's so great about that?"

"Former richest man?"

"Yes, I pushed down Seibu's stock price, and the richest man is a thing of the past."

"Ah! Nagano-kun you are awesome!!"

“.”

that's all.

Yasuko Sawaguchi grabbed Nagano Nao's arm, sometimes shy, sometimes surprised, and sometimes looking up with admiration in her eyes. In the eyes of outsiders, she looked no different from a girl in love.

I secretly praise the big-name actresses for their really good acting skills.

Although he knew that he was just being used as a shield, he was actually there to help Ikeda take the blame, so Nagano was happy to cooperate. When he heard the other party praising him, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

This is a really big-name actress! In Japan, she is definitely considered a national goddess.

I don't know how many dogs have dreamed of being the goddess of their dreams, but now she takes the initiative to pull me and talk and laugh!

The most important thing is Ikeda’s woman!

Holding my arm so intimately, does that count as cheating on her?

And she herself said that her friend's wife was not welcome! Bang! Nagano Nao secretly slapped his own soul!

How can you have such an immoral thought?

But the idea of ​​cheating on Ikeda was really bold. The two people whispering together seemed to have an unusual relationship, especially Sawaguchi Yasuko who kept holding Nagano Nagano's arm and shaking her around, which looked like a woman acting coquettishly and showing affection to her boyfriend.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was chatting casually with the celebrities who had come to attend the ceremony. When he saw this scene, his face and hair turned green, and his eyes glowed green as if he had been beaten hard.

Boy!

How dare an ant like you snatch a woman from me!

Are you looking for death?! If Seiji Tsutsumi inherited the poetic bloodline of his mother Aoyama Sou, then Yoshiaki Tsutsumi inherited the tyrant bloodline of Kojiro Tsutsumi.

Seeing that the woman he had been pursuing for a long time was actually talking and laughing with other men, he immediately felt that his dignity was seriously challenged and insulted.

There are a lot of people around.

In addition to Toho employees, there were also various people who were invited to attend the ceremony.

But gossip about Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and Yasuko Sawaguchi often appears in some tabloids. Everyone knows that this richest man has been pursuing Yasuko Sawaguchi.

Therefore, many people secretly inquired about Nagano Nao's identity.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was notoriously arrogant and domineering. He inherited the genes of his father Kojiro Tsutsumi. He was known for his lust and no woman could escape him if he set his eyes on her.

Either spend money or give away a house.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want money or a house, just take it from me.

Rebellion?

There's no use in resisting.

Some female stars originally had boyfriends, but in front of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's power, they were no different from ants.

Beat him up and give him 10 million in compensation.

If he doesn't leave, he will beat him again until he gives up his girlfriend with tears in his eyes and takes the money.

This is the tyrant of Seibu - Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. His gossips are always talked about. Actresses, Olympic champions, hosts, as long as he takes a fancy to them, he will get them.

Now someone is snatching a woman right in front of him!

Because of his appearances on TV, Nagano Nao has become a bit famous. As Minister of the Omotebukuro, and such a young minister at that, everyone can imagine that this guy must have a terrible background.

A paper criticizing real estate: houses are not for speculation but for living in.

No one is stupid.

A member of the Life Insurance Research Institute who criticized real estate, and a capital tycoon who became the richest man by relying on real estate. They were originally enemies and were both fighting for a woman.

Things are getting interesting.

Next, you will definitely see exciting dramas caused by jealousy.

really.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, with his men, dozens of them, marched towards the direction of Yasuko Sawaguchi and Naoo Nagano.

Nagano Nao also looked over when these people arrived, with deep mockery in his eyes. They dared to be so arrogant at a time like this. It seemed that this old guy didn't know that he had become a pawn.

Too.

Apart from the Seibu Group, among the five major conglomerates, Mitsui has been the most aggressive in real estate investment in recent years due to Toshiba's huge losses. It is also thanks to the vigorous development of Mitsui Real Estate that it has not been left too far behind by Mitsubishi.

But if the real estate must be given up, then there is no need to consider which one to choose, whether to keep Seibu or Mitsui and the Ministry of Finance.

"Hello, Mr. Tsutsumi, I didn't expect that we would meet here again, it's such a coincidence." Nagano Nao bowed slightly and gave a very fake salute to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

Originally, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had no impression of a small-time figure like Nagano Nao.

But now that he saw that face clearly, the memory of their previous meeting was activated. Thinking of how the other person had bowed 90 degrees and called him "Sir", his current perfunctory attitude made him furious.

Just an ant!

Even if you become the Minister of Japan's Life Insurance, you are just a flying ant. How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?! With such thoughts, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki was too lazy to even speak.

But he didn't speak, someone else spoke, the bodyguard behind him immediately pointed at Nagano Nao's face and said, "Boy, get out of here, Lord Tsutsumi and Miss Sawaguchi have something to say, this is not a place for you to stay."

Too crazy! He didn't even say anything and just let the dog go.

As a result, Nagano Naoio immediately fell into a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

The people around who were watching the show immediately started talking about it. It seemed that President Nagano and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi were not on the same level at all.

Whispering, and pairs of eyes falling on me.

Nagano Nao's face twitched. He was pointed at in the nose and told to get out. The person in question didn't even look at him. It was so humiliating.

But they are all people of status, and it would be a loss of face if they spoke to Seibu's servants.

Humiliate me? Good! Very good!

I learned it today.

I'll find some lackeys later and release them to bite people at the critical moment.

"It seems that Tsutsumi-kun wants to see Xiao Jing for something, but today may not be the right time. She is not feeling well today, so I want to take her home to rest." Nagano Nao smiled and stretched out his arms to hug Sawaguchi Yasuko's slender waist.

It was too sudden.

Yasuko Sawaguchi's whole body tensed up and she instinctively wanted to resist, but she couldn't struggle at this moment and had to be held obediently.

The big hand on the waist seemed to carry heat that penetrated the fabric.

As a result, her cheeks turned slightly red, she lowered her head, and kept smiling on her face, looking very shy.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's face flashed green.

It turns out that the woman whom he had been chasing after for two years but never even touched had already been slept with by this bastard in front of him? !

It feels like being cuckolded!

Everyone in the world knows that Sawaguchi Yasuko is my chosen woman! You are courting death, kid!

The eyes that were watching the fun were obviously not laughing, but it felt like they were all laughing at themselves for being cuckolded.

The muscles on Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's face trembled. He felt humiliated. He looked at Nagano Nao as if he were a dead person, and left with an expressionless face.

Looking at his back, Nagano bowed and said, "Tsutsumi-kun, please take care!"

“.”

I didn’t get to eat the melon I wanted.

The people watching the fun were greatly disappointed.

However, seeing Yoshiaki Tsutsumi being humiliated was worth the trip.

"Nagano-kun, thank you so much this time!" Yasuko Sawaguchi calmly broke free from Nagano Nao's arm and said with some gratitude.

Nagano Nao was in a good mood, and said with a sly smile: "Sawaguchi, you are too polite. If there is such a good thing next time, please don't forget to let me come again!"

Yasuko Sawaguchi was amused.

"Nagano-kun, aren't you afraid of offending Yoshiaki Tsutsumi?"

“I’m scared!”

"Ah! Why then?"

"But what if you offend the whole world because of Sawaguchi?"

“.”

"Just kidding, Ikeda-kun asked me to come over and take a look!"

"How disgusting! How dare you make fun of me like this."

“.”

While chatting.

Nao Nao felt someone was looking at him, and following the line of sight, he saw a middle-aged man around fifty years old.

Standing next to Kobayashi Chicong, who looks ordinary and is dressed in formal attire, but for some reason, I feel that the other person's eyes are very complicated, and as if I have seen him somewhere before.

Sawaguchi Yasuko immediately said, "Nagano-kun, let me introduce you. This is our president, Kobayashi Nofu."

Kobayashi Nofu.

The president of Toho Co., Ltd., came from the financial circle. When he was young, he would play minor roles in TV dramas. Later, he rose to the position of president.

No wonder it looks a little familiar!

It turned out to be Kobayashi's dad! "Hello, Kobayashi-san. Nice to meet you!" Nagano bowed formally. The president of Toho had many connections in the entertainment industry, so it wouldn't hurt to make friends with him.

Kobayashi Nofu put away his complicated emotions, returned the greeting and said, "Hello, Nagano-kun. I was delayed on the road and didn't have time to come here. I heard what happened just now from Zhicong. Thank you so much for helping Zekou solve the trouble."

"You're welcome, Kobayashi-san."

“.”

With the bond of Kobayashi Chicong, the two began to chat.

It looks like.

Kobayashi Nofu also wanted to make friends. He complained that his son was not doing well and praised Nagano Nao for being as masculine as a dragon. At such a young age, he became the asset management president of Nippon Life Insurance and his future was limitless.

Kobayashi Zhicong felt very embarrassed when his father scolded him in front of his classmates.

But times have changed and my former classmates have become people beyond my reach.

Damn it! We are all classmates, why is this guy favored by Lady Sakurako?

He can even put his arm around Zekou's waist!

A while later.

Kobayashi Nofu apologized and left, giving the space to the young man.

A young and beautiful actress walked by.

Nagano Nao habitually glanced at other people's eyes and bodies.

“It’s really bright.”

"Then Nagano-kun, you must have a nice drink tonight. I'll arrange it for you!"

"Xiao Lin, you have such a vulgar mindset! Am I that kind of person?"

“Hey, hey, hey! Whose eyes almost popped out just now?”

“.”

The ceremony is over.

As the venue cleared, extras dressed in Republic of China style clothes walked in one by one.

There were hundreds of people who had never been to the scene for filming. Nagano Nao was very interested in greeting Kobayashi Chitoshi and played a cameo as an extra.

Because it was his boss's instruction, the crew specially arranged a reporter identity for him and also gave him a very antique camera.

I played with it for a while.

Miraculously, he actually took the photo.

The lights came on, and as the light focused on the stage covered with a red carpet, Yasuko Sawaguchi walked out in a white cheongsam.

I have to say, clothes are really magical things.

When Yasuko Sawaguchi usually wears other clothes, her temperament is light and holy, with a kind of elegance and nobility, as if she can only be admired from a distance and not touched. However, now she is wearing a cheongsam and she seems like a different person.

Her delicate body was bound up with exquisite curves and bumps in all the right places. Her normally invisible strength could no longer be hidden. Her slender waist could be held in one hand, and her white legs could be seen at the crotch, slender and looming.

Because the cheongsam was evenly inlaid with reflective materials, as she twisted her high heels, the clothes reflected the light, and her swaying steps were like those of a beautiful woman, with an enchanting aura of charm.

Without any arrangement from the director, the extras stood up and waved the flowers in their hands and cheered. Each of them had a fiery look in their eyes and was obsessed, looking like a typical fanatical fan.

The fragrance is so charming and irresistible.

I thought this description was just an exaggeration in novels, but now I realize that there really are such charming women.

Thinking of the feeling of hugging that slender waist before, the faint fragrance came back to me again, my lower abdomen felt hot, and a deep desire arose.

Nagano Nao was amazed.

It is understandable that normal men like beautiful women.

Everyone loves beauty, but most of the time this love is just appreciation.

Just like myself, I have never been a pervert, I just spent a little bit.

But now.

Although she had no idea what was going on, her body suddenly became restless and she began to move.

What a fucking witch!

What's even more outrageous is that she usually has a holy temperament like a fairy.

No wonder Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has always been obsessed with it! But he was screwed by a woman!

As a temporary extra in the role of a reporter, Nagano Nao was arranged by the director to hold a camera and point it at Yasuko Sawaguchi on the stage.

Because it's right in the audience.

Yasuko Sawaguchi smiled faintly, cast a charming look, then opened her red lips and began to sing.

"The south wind brings coolness, the nightingale sings softly,

All the flowers under the moon are dreaming, only the tuberose is exuding fragrance. I love the night, the singing of the nightingale, and the flower-like dream even more. I embrace the tuberose and smell the tuberose.

Tuberose, I sing for you, Tuberose, I think for you"

“.”

Not a very authentic Chinese singing voice.

But because Yasuko Sawaguchi habitually puts her hands on her chest when she sings, her bright eyes look particularly charming.

Nagano Nao's eyes met hers, and he was suddenly mesmerized by her enchanting figure.

The assistant director in the audience suddenly became anxious.

Although the stunning reporter was only a temporary actor, she was also a very important character, used to highlight how much attention the major media paid to Li Xianglan at that time.

But now I am in a daze and don’t even know how to take photos, so the rendering will lose its effect.

"Xiao Ye, go over and remind that boy, why are he in a daze!" Because he didn't know Nagano Nao's identity, the assistant director shouted angrily to his assistant.

Director Fujita Meiji quickly stopped him and said with enthusiasm and concentration: "No! Aim the camera, hurry up, you must take this perfect shot!"

At Fujita's request.

The photographer quickly captured Nagano Nao's obsessed and lustful look.

After seeing the captured footage, Fujita breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you know what this guy's name is?"

"I've never seen this before."

"Could he be new here? This guy has a real talent for acting. His obsession just now must be because he has devoted himself to the drama. Talents like this must be cultivated well."

“.”

The core of the play "Farewell, Li Xianglan" is mainly through describing the character of Li Xianglan and her reflection and repentance on the war.

Li Xianglan's original name was Yamaguchi Yoshiko, and her family called her Doudou. She was born in Beiyantai near Fengtian. Soon her family moved to Fushun. Her grandfather was a sinologist in Saga Prefecture. Influenced by his grandfather, her father went to study in China in his early years and later worked for the "Manchurian Railway" Company.

Yamaguchi Yoshiko, who was born in Shenyang and later lived in Fushun, had a bloody memory in her mind from her youth that she would never forget for the rest of her life. In 1932, she saw with her own eyes several kidnapped Chinese people being shot to death on the spot by military police, their flesh and blood blurred.

Later she learned that it was related to the Pingdingshan Massacre, in which 3,000 Chinese civilians were massacred by the Japanese army.

During the Pingdingshan Incident, her father was detained by the military police for "collaborating with the enemy", so Yamaguchi Yoshiko and her family moved to Shenyang.

At the age of 13, Yamaguchi Yoshiko recognized her father's classmate, Li Jichun, the pro-Japanese president of Shenyang Bank at the time, as her adoptive father. She also had a nice name - Li Xianglan.

Because she was naturally beautiful, spoke fluent Chinese and had a beautiful singing voice, when the "Li family's daughter grew up", her artistic talent and special background quickly attracted the attention of the pseudo "Manchurian Film Association" manipulated and planned by the military.

They mobilized her to join the organization and decided to package her as a singer to advocate for the aggressive policy.

Young and ignorant, she was full of infinite hope for the pseudo "Manchukuo". She sang songs such as "Fisherman's Daughter", "Zhaojun's Complaint", "Meng Jiangnu" and so on in the new program "Manchuria New Songs" of Fengtian Radio Station, and became famous for the song "Night Jasmine".

Thus, "Singer Li Xianglan" was pushed to the forefront, and quickly became popular in the music and film circles, becoming a household name "superstar".

With the outbreak of the Pacific War, there was murderous intent on one side and peace and prosperity on the other. Amid the swordplay, Li Xianglan's singing was like wine mixed with aphrodisiac, soothing people's hearts while also eroding their strong fighting spirit.

Despite the turbulent times, her popularity continued to grow. In the early days of the Pacific War, her performance at the "Japanese Theater" was so enthusiastically received by the audience that 7 and a half circles of fans surrounded her, causing chaos and becoming a sensational news.

At that time, she received a letter from Kenichiro Matsuoka, the eldest son of Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke. The letter said: "The value of a person cannot be measured by whether he is famous or not. The value of a person is not reflected on the surface of the person. You should cherish yourself. Now is an era where personal values ​​are fooled. You must respect yourself more, otherwise you will only be manipulated by the national situation. I hope you will always respect yourself."

The entire drama revolves around the character of Li Xianglan. In that war-torn era, the people were displaced and had no means of survival, but the upper class of China was addicted to Li Xianglan's decadent music.

It also reveals that in that era, countless Japanese did not want war, but even a figure like Kenichiro Matsuoka could only suggest to Li Xianglan not to become a pawn of the military's ambitions.

But her singing voice, vocals and figure are wearing down the will of the Chinese people, making them lose their fighting spirit, forget the sorrow of losing their country, and sing "Huang Ting Hua".

Obviously.

As a production company originally controlled by the military, Toho is very clear about this history.

As the most famous actress at present, Yasuko Sawaguchi's popularity undoubtedly fits Li Xianglan's personality, and her enchanting figure and temperament make her perfect for playing a female star in the Republic of China who brings disaster to the country and the people.

Losing consciousness only takes a moment.

When I reacted, Nagano Nao had already fulfilled his role.

The extras were mostly enthusiastic fans of Yasuko Sawaguchi, and the singing scene in the opera house was filmed surprisingly smoothly.

All in one go.

Especially the momentary lecherous look on Nagano's face, which perfectly portrayed the mark of Li Xianglan's decadence in that era, making Fujita Meiji feel very good.

Asking someone to call Nao Nao over, after asking his name, Fujita Akiji said with a fiery look as if he was looking at a rough jade: "Nagano-kun, you really have a talent for acting, but I have never seen you before. Are you new to the company?"

"Well, I'm not a Toho employee. I'm just a temporary guest here." Nagano Nao explained his identity with a dry laugh.

Fujita Mingji did not give up: "Nagano-kun, your acting talent has great potential. This kind of performance has reached the state of selflessness and unity between the person and the role. Don't you consider developing a career in the film and television industry?"

I appeared in front of Nagano Nao with a lewd look on my face.

How fucking embarrassing! Fortunately, Kobayashi Chicong came to the rescue and said, "Fujita-kun, Nagano-kun is the Minister of the Japanese Biosafety Department."

“It’s such a shame”

We chatted like this for a while.

Nagano Nao was about to leave when suddenly, the words of two people next to him attracted his attention. A man and a woman were standing together discussing the drama that had just been filmed, but they were speaking Mandarin.

"Are they Chinese?" Nagano Nao asked uncertainly.

Xiaolin Zhicong thought he was considering the consortium's strategy, so he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, the screenwriter is from China Central Television. This drama was filmed in cooperation with them."

“.”

Chinese! A feeling of meeting a fellow countryman arises spontaneously.

Suddenly hearing my mother tongue in this foreign country, I felt very close to it.

I really want to go over and talk.

But now he is a little Japanese . Nagano Nao didn't go over to talk.

Although there is an uncontrollable emotion that keeps hitting my heart.

However, I have no choice. Being familiar with my homeland will only make me miss my hometown, but I am already a foreigner.

I left the opera house with mixed emotions.

But suddenly I thought of the book "The Stranger".

I had originally been unable to comprehend the contradiction that Seiji Tsutsumi and Kyo Tsujii were the same person, but suddenly I felt the same way.

No matter where you go, you'll find foreigners! "Nagano-kun! Wait a minute."

Suddenly someone called out from behind.

Nagano Nao looked back and saw that it was Seiji Tsutsumi. Next to him was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor, and he seemed to have seen him on TV.

Two people came over.

Nao Nagano greeted him as a student.

The person that Seiji Tsutsumi was with was Masao Fuwa, a member of the Diet and a member of the Japanese Communist Party. It seemed that he came only as an introducer and left after helping the two people meet.

Fuwa Masao talked with Nao Nagano about the plot of "Farewell, Li Xianglan" for a while. It seemed that Nao Nagano was also an anti-war supporter. He said with a fiery look in his eyes: "Comrade Nagano, your thesis made me truly feel that the power of the proletariat is already thriving in your body. With such a brave spirit, please join us and fight for the proletariat!!"

“.”

Big brother!

What do you like about me? Should I change my career?

A comrade made Nagano Nao feel complicated. He hesitated for several times before saying: "Fuwa-san admires Nagano, and Nagano is very grateful, but I am from Keio and the heir of the Nakamura family. It doesn't seem appropriate!"

"What does it matter? Isn't Tsutsumi-kun just as full of justice as Nagano-kun? The bastards in the Liberal Democratic Party have made this country so corrupt. The development of the pornography industry has turned women in this country into shameful sex slaves. High housing prices have deprived young people of the hope of starting a family. In today's corruption, if Nagano-kun's proletarian justice could not be suppressed, how could he have written such a powerful paper?"

“.”

"Comrade, let us fight together!"

“.”
