Jealous?
Nagano Nao was completely confused.
I always feel like something is wrong but I can't figure it out.
With such doubts.
Kanako Nagano was subjected to the most brutal beating and interrogation.
You’re not even to mention.
Although Nagano Kanako is a woman and has never learned martial arts, her heart is full of the chivalrous spirit of Bushido.
He gritted his teeth and screamed in agony from the whipping, but refused to reveal any secrets.
'Am I abnormal?'
'Or is this society abnormal?'
"It seems that their worldview and values are not right!"
“.”
It was already past nine o'clock when we arrived at the company.
Kurata Himiri had already sorted out the documents she was going to process.
Also do secretary work.
Nothing to do but play secretary.
Nagano Nao was bored, so he asked casually: "Fei-chan! I have something I can't figure out, can you help me?"
"What's the problem?"
"Yuki gave me a condom today and told me to be careful, but I always feel like something is wrong!"
"What's so strange about this! Shouldn't it be that I told you not to pay attention to your safety?"
"Well, let me ask it another way. Fei-chan, do you like me?!"
"Who would like a playboy like you? I hate you so much!"
"Really? I'm so sad!"
"You big idiot! You ask such a question when you know what I'm thinking."
"So that's love?"
"What a male chauvinist you are! Are you trying to ask me what Yuki is thinking?!"
"Fei-chan, you are so smart!"
"Well, actually I don't know how to put it! It's like I'm obviously very angry, sometimes I want to kill you, but I can't bear to do it!"
"Why?"
"Because the bad master is really bad!"
“.”
Is this why women don't love men who are not bad? As usual.
All departments function well.
Those who were slacking off continued to slack off, those who were trading stocks continued to trade stocks, and those who were chatting continued to chat.
He just has the attitude of trying hard and getting by.
The person who works the hardest and suffers the most is the president Naoio Nagano.
Various signatures and stamps are required, winning over subordinates, balancing conflicts, building relationships within the circle, dealing with meetings, and participating in some charity activities to maintain the company's image.
The schedule is full every day.
day to day.
Another day.
This day.
The day arrived when Ryutaro Hashimoto had previously requested to visit.
Prepared some gifts.
Nao Nagano came to the Hashimoto residence as agreed.
It is a villa of decent size, but not very luxurious, just an average middle-class villa style.
It’s not that the Ministry of Finance doesn’t have public housing, but the main reason is that Japan’s public security was very good after the war, and living in one’s own home is obviously more comfortable than living in an official residence.
There were cars parked in the yard.
There is also a Yamaha motorcycle.
Located at 30 degrees north latitude, Japan has frequent natural disasters. Once a strong earthquake occurs, it is much more convenient to go to Guanting by motorcycle than by car.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper.
Nagano Nao was greeted by a middle-aged woman.
The face I vaguely remember is Mrs. Kumiko Hashimoto.
As they were both members of the Nakamura family, Nagano Nao called her "Obasan" according to their seniority.
Kumiko was very polite. She took the gift, greeted him, and welcomed him into the living room.
Ryuutarou Hashimoto was practicing swordplay in the backyard. When he saw the guest, he walked over and said, "You're a straight man! Why are you so polite and bring so many gifts? Please come in quickly!"
"It's just a token of my appreciation! Please don't hesitate to show off, Hashimoto-san!"
“.”
Sit on the ground next to each other.
Kumiko was at the side, making tea.
With someone from the Nakamura family around to talk and chat about daily life, it doesn't make people feel too constrained.
After a while.
A girl in a high school uniform walked in.
After introducing his identity, the other party exclaimed with an incredible look: "You are the Space Violence Dragon! Great! Can you give me an autograph?"
"This... These are nicknames given by others!"
"Nagano-kun is too modest. Kana really admires you!"
"The martial arts of Violent Dragon must be very powerful! Who is more powerful, him or Odo-san?"
"Of course Hashimoto-san is more amazing!"
"Don't be too weak, Violent Dragon. Otherwise, let's have a competition!"
“.”
Woman full of excitement.
It's really a headache.
Nagano Naoko knows his own business. Hashimoto Ryutaro is a famous kendo master, and he is just a newbie. If he plays with him, he will just be asking for trouble.
fine.
Ryutaro Hashimoto had no intention of embarrassing him, so he scolded Hashimoto Kana for being too excited and changed the topic to talk about everyday interesting things.
They are all trivial matters.
First, he said that Kana Hashimoto was not like a girl at all and was very naughty. Then he started to complain that the young people of today are worse than the previous generation and how hard-working their generation is.
"Mr. Hashimoto, times have changed. Please stop using such conservative ideas!" Kana Hashimoto became a typical villain, so she naturally fought back in dissatisfaction.
Hashimoto Ryutaro immediately said angrily: "We can learn from history to understand the rise and fall of nations, and learn from people to understand gains and losses. Please look at Nagano-kun, and then look at you. You don't even have the slightest awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace. I'm really worried that your generation will be born in comfort and die in misery!"
"Hashimoto-san is serious. Actually, Chanel-san is already amazing!"
“.”
Just at this moment.
Two boys who were about the same age as Nagano Nao walked in.
They are Ryutaro Hashimoto’s two sons.
After introducing their identities and greeting each other, they gathered together and started chatting.
Everyone drank tea and chatted about everything under the sun, and before they knew it it was time to celebrate Kana Hashimoto's birthday.
Blow out the candles and eat the cake.
I stayed for another meal and two cups of tea, and then it was time to leave.
"It's getting late, Nagano will take my leave now. If you go to Osaka, Mido-san, please say hello to Nagano so that I can entertain you!"
"Since Nagano-kun has said so, we will definitely go. If we are bothering you, please don't think it's a bother!"
"How could that be! Then I'd like to say goodbye! Please don't see me off again!"
"Please be safe on the road! Have a safe trip!"
“.”
Chiyoda Ward at night.
The lights are on.
After getting in the car, Naoyoshi Nagano thought about today's meeting and shook his head secretly.
It looks like.
This time he was invited for Kana Hashimoto's birthday. We just sat together, chatted about family matters, and strengthened the relationships of this generation.
But beneath the casual surface, there is obviously a deeper meaning.
In this society where personal connections, blood ties, and family reputation are more important than anything else, after this meal, the young generation of the Nakamura family and the young generation of the Hashimoto family have established a relationship.
Every word of Ryutaro Hashimoto has a deep meaning.
It not only shows that everyone is fighting to safeguard the interests of the major families, but also implies that they have no choice.
The saying "Born in comfort, die in sorrow" is nothing more than referring to the current situation. This can be considered as guidance, as well as winning over oneself, and by the way, allowing people of this generation to get to know each other and build good relationships.
To be honest.
But it is also undeniable that this is also a struggle of civilizations.
For a long time, the biggest price to pay for factional struggles in Japan has been nothing more than embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars or soliciting prostitution. At worst, one can kowtow and admit one's mistakes, then step down and have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
But it never involves bigger issues, such as either you or I will die!
Outside the high-speed rail.
The gorgeous city style passed by quickly.
Bright colors are the most beautiful moment of this bubble era.
Lighted a cigarette in the smoking area.
Nagano Nao took a deep breath.
Watching the smoke gradually cover the scenery outside, making it hazy and ethereal, I sighed secretly in my heart, but also gradually became excited.
Obviously.
Ryutaro Hashimoto is paving the way for his family.
And he also knew that he might lose.
Born in comfort, die in sorrow.
As a country trying to survive in the cracks, Japan has reached the point where it is today and must choose to change.
But the position he was in made it impossible for him to retreat. The power, status, and responsibility also put him in shackles while he was enjoying them.
He will only move forward according to his own insistence and can only move forward according to the current situation.
This is a responsibility, an obligation, and even more a weakness.
The attack of the Socialist Party is his duty, power and status. It is an open conspiracy, an upright open conspiracy. Under the inherent unspoken rules to maintain the upper class, he can only passively endure it.
However, although he himself had no way out, he could leave a way out for his descendants. After all, ordinary people didn’t know who the descendants of the Hashimoto family were, and no one would reveal this rule.
The art of compromise and offense.
This is the Game of Thrones.
1.26th.
The major shrines and temples in Osaka and Kyoto began the grand spring festival with the beating of gongs and drums.
Although the New Year was changed to the Gregorian New Year's Day after the Meiji Restoration, Kansai, as an ancient capital, has been influenced by Chinese culture for thousands of years, and the Lunar New Year is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
That's why.
Many traditional families celebrate the Lunar New Year more solemnly than New Year's Day.
Had sushi and dumplings for the morning.
Naoto Nagano took out the red envelopes he had prepared, gave a big red envelope to Chiyuki Nagano, and then gave a big red envelope to Yuki Nagano as well.
The two were immediately bribed, changed into kimonos, and the family happily went to Ikuta Shrine.
In stark contrast to the simplicity and elegance of other Japanese shrines, the large vermilion torii and the main hall are brightly colored, full of grandeur and liveliness, and appear magnificent.
The main deity in the shrine is Chihiro Onna, who is rumored to be the sister of the first female emperor.
It is said that she can bless people with wealth and abundance, and a harmonious and happy family life. Therefore, for more than a thousand years, Ikuta Shrine has been constantly visited by ordinary people and entrepreneurs of all sizes, praying for their careers to be more prosperous, their health to be good, and their families to be happy.
It is also very effective in praying for good marriage and good health, so many people come here to pray every day, especially during the Chinese New Year.
The sound of gongs and drums and cannons shook the sky.
There are also priests walking on stilts and wearing ghost masks, presiding over the spring festival activities.
The noise and bustle were extraordinary, and the congestion was even more intense than the Spring Festival travel rush. This also allowed Naoto Nagano to fully appreciate the level of superstition in Japan.
Crowded for a long time.
Nagano Naoio was pulled by Nagano Chiyuki to the temple.
Many people were kneeling on the ground, burning incense, praying, and muttering something, but no one knew what they were saying.
The same is true for the Nagano family.
Nagano Kanako knelt down very devoutly, muttering something, and kowtowed several times with a look of piety and solemnity on her face.
Nagano Yuki and Nagano Chiyuki knelt down together and muttered for a long time, but no one knew what wish they made.
Nagano Nao doesn't believe this.
Although he didn't make a wish, he still bowed and gave some incense money.
When he heard someone kneeling on the ground seemingly begging for money, his face twitched and he almost laughed out loud.
The Zhiri Nvzun is mainly in charge of childbearing, marriage, spring festivals and farming. I have never heard of anyone asking for money. How can it be useful for this guy to ask for money randomly?
He shook his head secretly.
Receive the lucky bag from the shrine.
Nagano Nao opened it and took a look.
It's a talisman.
Handmade, very fine, and very interesting.
"Onii-chan! What wish did you just make?!"
"Of course Chiyuki is doing well in school."
"Onii-chan, you are such an idiot. Master Chiri doesn't care about your studies."
"Oh! What did you wish for, Qianxue?"
"The Zhiri Nyorin is in charge of marriage and childbirth, so of course I want to make a wish for marriage and childbirth!"
Japanese girls mature early.
Both adults and schools are very careful in giving these instructions.
Plus, there were some adult industries everywhere, and there were no mosaics back then, so the maturity of most people was simply beyond the comprehension of Nagano straight men.
But even so.
After hearing Chiyuki Nagano's wish, Nagano Nao slapped her in the face.
"Qianxue, can't you be a little more normal? How many times have I told you that you should study hard at this age? Why are you thinking about nonsense all day long?"
"Onii-chan, are you angry because you're jealous?"
"What the hell! I mean you should focus on your studies, okay?"
"If you're not jealous, why are you angry? Don't worry, the one I made the wish for is you, Onii-chan!"
"Do you believe I can beat you?"
"Ouni! Help, Ouni is going to beat me!"
As soon as Yuki Nagano and Kanako Nagano squeezed out of the crowd, they were used as shields by Chiyuki Nagano.
Nagano Nao was so angry that his teeth were itching.
But in my heart, I was a little curious: "What wish did you make, Yuki? Why did you come out now?"
"I won't tell you!"
"mean!"
"Kasan, what wish did you make?"
"This cannot be said. Once you say it, it won't work."
"Ah! What if I told my wish to Unnie just now? No, I have to make a new one!"
Nagano Chiyuki ran away.
Squeezed into the crowd again.
Nagano Yuki asked curiously, "What wish did Chiyuki make?"
"Of course I'll get an excellent grade on the next exam!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
“.”
