As she spoke, Ikeda Sakurako's tears fell.

What kind of eyes are those?

The tearful eyes were filled with anger, fear, sadness, helplessness and anxiety, so sad that it made people tremble in their hearts.

Nagano Nao wanted to get angry, but he couldn't help but be stunned.

Is this still the perverted woman who made me feel creepy?

Could it be that she still feels insecure?

My heart suddenly softened.

Nagano Nao gave up his plan to fight back, but suddenly, he remembered that Ikeda Sakurako was just a drama queen.

Tears are a woman's natural weapon. This guy is not acting again! "I didn't tell you to use so much money!"

"Yes, you didn't say it, but you know very well that I have no choice. Besides, can your position as section chief protect yourself? Or do you think that the Ministry of Finance and the major financial groups will be played around by you like us women? In this case, please tell me, straight man, besides sending you to a higher position, is there any way for me to control Ikeda and prevent you from going to jail? Or do you idiotly think that the financial market is fair and will not be investigated for this?"

After saying these words, Ikeda Sakurako seemed to have used up all her strength, buried her head in Nagano Nao's chest and cried silently.

Being born in the Ikeda family is both a blessing and a misfortune.

Challenging the inherent traditional concepts requires courage and a price. Even if you use the 10 billion yuan yourself, the consequences of losing are not something you can afford.

But compared to himself, he simply couldn't bear such heavy consequences if he dragged this straight guy into this.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he is just a section chief and the second son of the Nakamura family. Without sufficient power to protect him, he will inevitably be torn to pieces by those forces.

Straight man!

I'm sorry! It's just that I really can't help but gamble. Please forgive my selfishness.

But the only thing I can do is to send you up there! Nagano Nao was stunned.

He had never thought about such profound questions.

He has always had an idea in his mind that by borrowing the power behind Kenichi Sato and Sakurako Ikeda and with their identities as cover, he could make a fortune by short selling when the bubble bursts.

Then you work step by step and climb to a high position in the future, and you will have both power and money.

Only after hearing these words did he realize that he had been thinking too simply.

I still remember that during the US subprime mortgage crisis, so many investment banks shorted the market, but in the end only one executive was sentenced to more than ten years in prison.

Is this the gap between us?

Why didn't I expect it to be so complicated?

However, compared with the potential crisis, what Nagano Nao could not believe the most was that a scheming woman like Sakurako Ikeda would actually consider him.

Trying to win people's hearts? It seems unnecessary.

Since ancient times, doctors have not been subject to punishment.

With the power of the Ikeda family, Sakurako Ikeda doesn't have to worry about being investigated after the truth is revealed. On the contrary, all departments will help her cover up the truth.

And I am just a small section chief, so it is perfect for me to take the blame.

Calm down for a while.

I noticed that Ikeda Sakurako was sobbing and gasping for breath, and she looked helpless, not as strong as usual.

To be honest, it is really difficult to be a woman in a country like Japan.

Especially for a woman like Ikeda, it is extremely difficult not to become a vassal.

Ten billion!

If you say that, wouldn’t you be very despicable?

Knowing that she had no choice given her personality, why did she deliberately not say how much she bet?

Nagano Nao tried several times before he finally lowered his arms, but he finally let go of his fear of the woman and slowly hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so complicated!"

puff.

Ikeda Sakurako suddenly pushed Nagano Nao away, with a smile on her bright face, and she didn't look like she had been crying at all.

"Haha, you are such a childish guy! Were you very moved just now?"

“.”

Damn it!

The clown is actually me? Shit.

Nagano straight men are all very embarrassed.

Ikeda Sakurako didn't look at his expression. She poured two more glasses of red wine and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to fight?"

"Ikeda, you always embarrass me like this!" Nagano Nao took the wine and took a sip helplessly.

Ikeda Sakurako leaned back elegantly on the sofa and said in a teasing tone, "It must be unpleasant to be suppressed by a woman in terms of ability, right?"

“.”

"But how does power feel? Speaking of which, you're pretty brave. You dare to do two of them together."

“.”

All right!

Although I'm drunk and don't know how it tastes.

But the feeling of power is so good.

Even just seeing Hattori and Kurata looking as pitiful and helpless as rabbits, it felt like a fire was burning in my heart.

It's just too shameful to admit such a thing.

Nagano Nao said unhappily: "I was tricked by you."

"Please don't be so shameless, okay? If you weren't the section chief, would this have happened? Or did I put it in for you?"

“.”

"But what do you think of my suggestion? I'll give you 5 billion as a performance bonus. I'm sure with Ida Yoko's care for you, it won't be a problem for you to be promoted to department head."

"How is this possible? My qualifications are too shallow. It is impossible for me to be promoted to minister without three to five years."

"You are too unmotivated, straight man. Hashimoto Ryutaro became a councillor at the age of 26, and you defeated two of your subordinates in one night. Don't you even have this much confidence?"

Speaking of.

Sakurako Ikeda walked over with a wine glass, then put a sip of red wine into Nagano Nao's ear.

The white neck moved, and then whispered softly: "Think about the taste of power. As long as there is enough power, even I will have to submit to you."

Grass.

This guy is really good at bewitching people! Nagano Nao wanted to say something.

"It's easy to say. Hashimoto has his father's support. My father doesn't love me, and my mother can't do it. How can I compare with him?"

"Why not? If I had this thing, I would dare to pierce through even the sky."

"Please be a lady!"

"You are such a bastard, didn't both of them satisfy you last night?"

“Let go!”

"I can let you go, but you have to promise me something first."

"What's up?"

"Before this, Tanaka found me and told me the plan you mentioned before. She agreed to stand with us on this matter, but she had a request."

Damn it! How can you say such a thing?

Nagano Nao was shocked: "Ikeda, you lunatic, are you telling outsiders about this in order to get us taken to tea by Sakuradamon?"

"Idiot, do I look like a fool? Don't worry, it's Tanaka Makiko. Her father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to Takeshita's anger, and now he and Hashimoto Ryutaro are at loggerheads. Don't you think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"What chance?"

"If Wall Street will attack the Japanese stock market as you analyzed before, what choice do you think Hashimoto, the Minister of Finance, will make?"

“.”

"Don't you understand? He will definitely do everything he can to ensure the stability of the financial market, and once he fails to do so, the opportunity will come."

“.”

“But before that, you need to go to a higher position.”

“.”
