Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 175 Proposals not envisaged

   "It's so rude, I didn't have time to change clothes after school, so I had to rush over like this." Tao Zhiming smiled and was very embarrassed.

   "Please take a seat, Tao Jun." As the master, Hirano Takao didn't seem to put on the pretense of being at the helm of a big consortium. Instead, he said with a warm smile, "Since it's a family banquet, of course you have to relax a bit and don't care about your dress."

   "There is no time to choose the right gift." Tao Zhiming smiled and handed over the box he brought in. "There is a classmate whose father is a pottery craftsman for many years. This is the handiwork of my uncle."

   Ueda Masahiro looked at the familiar box and couldn't help but look at his profile.

   How many copies did you buy at one time? I brought this to my house, and I brought this to President Hirano's house.

  Tao Zhiming has a very thick skin, and there is nothing he can do if he is not thick.

   Who knew Masahiro Ueda would be here?

   After Tao Zhiming sat down, Hirano Takao began to boast: "I asked you to come to my house because I was very curious about Tao Jun. I haven't seen such a young and excellent young man for a long time."

"The president has won the award." Tao Zhiming said modestly, and then showed a wry smile, "I was a little helpless in the previous incident, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this in the end. Although I was fortunate to be a guest at the president's house, I was actually very disturbed."

   "Relax." Hirano Takao smiled slightly, "That incident has passed, isn't there a good result now? We have already formed an alliance with President Beichuan in the later plan, and we are already allies, so don't worry."

   Tao Zhiming nodded and said yes, but he understood the subtext in his heart.

   If it is not for the plan determined now is more beneficial, the two sides are not allies, then they are enemies?

   And they only formed an alliance on the private reform of the National Railways, but what about other aspects?

   It was said to be a family banquet. Except for Hirano Takao, Tao Zhiming did not see any of his family members.

   To some extent, this is also a hint. A home is definitely a proper home, but a family banquet is not a truly ceremonial family banquet.

After    it was just a small talk, Hirano Takao even told him many interesting stories from the school back then as a senior of Dongda University.

   In addition, he talked about some recent news, and after listening to some of Tao Zhiming's thoughts, he repeatedly praised him for his extraordinary insights.

  Tao Zhi's life can't be fixed, this family banquet is just that simple?

   A character like Takao Hirano, isn't it a waste of his time to spend on this kind of thing?

   They are all old foxes. Could it be that he mistakenly thought that he was a simple little fox, so he played the appreciation card to make himself flattered, thinking that the chairman of Mitsubishi was really good?

   is childish.

  Tao Zhiming has not yet discovered the tricks of Beichuan Atsushi and Anzhai Shanwei, and he has not heard any wishes and requests. The meal is finished, and it is almost eight o'clock.

   "Tao Jun, I heard that you and Ueda-san's daughter are classmates?" Back in the living room, Hirano Takao finally said something else.

  Tao Zhiming looked at Ueda Masahiro, isn't he here?

   "...Yeah. Shana-san, and also the vice president of our Kendo Club."

   Hirano Takao smiled meaningfully: "Ueda-sang is full of praise for Tao Jun. Ueda-sang, tonight is extraordinarily silent."

  Tao Zhiming also discovered the quietness of tool man Ueda Masahiro today.

   Even if Mitsubishi only contacted Tao Zhiming through Ueda Masahiro, why are there so few words here today?

   At this time, Ueda Masahiro bowed, and then said a little desolately: "I feel a little emotional to see Tao Jun's appearance in front of you."

   Hirano Takao was silent for a while, then put away his smile: "Ueda-san, could it be that I remembered a sad past."

   "That's true, I'm sorry."

   Tao Zhiming was a little confused.

   Riddles people, make it clear.

   You are playing me, right?

   Sure enough, Hirano Takao looked at Tao Zhiming and sighed: "Indeed, if Kenta's child is still there, he is probably as good as Tao Jun."

  Tao Zhiming looked at Masahiro Ueda suspiciously.

What does    mean?

   Ueda Masahiro smiled relievedly: "It's all over. Tao Jun, Shana has an older brother named Kenta, but an unfortunate thing happened nine years ago. The president said this."

  Tao Zhiming suddenly realized that Ueda Xana was not the only child.

   Hirano Takao's pity: "The child of Kenta has been smart, courageous, and polite since he was a child. If he is still there, the name of the Ueda family will surely be passed down by him and will reach a new height."

   Ueda Masahiro was silent.

   "But Tao Jun is also very good. Tao Jun, you are in Neon now, do you have no relatives?"

  Tao Zhiming didn't know why the topic turned to himself: "...Yes. Father father and mother have suffered misfortune before."

"It's a pity..." Hirano Takao looked at the two of them, and suddenly said hesitantly, "Ueda-san, even if you don't plan to have another child, but the name of the dignified Ueda family and the inheritance of Kagami-shinichi-ryu, I really want to live in Do you cut it off? I have always suggested you, even if you have an adopted son. I know you have a high vision, but Tao Jun is good enough, right? He also likes kendo."

  Tao Zhiming's heart moved, but the surface was stunned: "President Hirano...this..."

   He looked at Ueda Masahiro, but the guy didn't react, just stayed silent there.

   So you two had this idea? Want to be my dad straight away?

   "...I'm taking the liberty, Tao-kun." Takao Hirano turned his attention to him. "Of course, your will is the most important thing. I'm just making a suggestion to Ueda-san as an old friend."

  …Your suggestion is really bullshit.

   "It took me by surprise..." Tao Zhiming's surprise was real, "Yoshiko or something...I really never thought about it."

Hirano Takao looked like a matchmaker and smiled: "Since Tao Jun is alone, without the company of his relatives, and without the help of his family, you can think about it. You grew up in Neon, and you should have known about this situation. In many cases, everyone just wants to have the company of their relatives. Besides, the adopted son who has been identified as a child also has the right to inherit."

  Tao Zhiming stared blankly at Ueda Masahiro, are you serious?

   Ueda Masahiro owed his debts again: "Thank you, President, for your concern. This matter, not to mention Tao Jun's wishes, I also need to consider it carefully."

Hirano Takao had a look of admiration for Tao Zhiming: "Of course, of course. What I like most is that everyone is happy. You haven't known each other for a long time, but you are both men with admirable characters. Tao Jun, don't mind me. presumptuous."

   "...How could it be?" Tao Zhiming certainly didn't mind, you are much rougher than Beichuan Atsushi.

  People just give it to girls, you want me to be a son to your subordinates.

  Who gave you courage?

   But Tao Zhiming didn't take it lightly, it seems that Hirano Takao's real plan is here. Why is he so sure that he will be tempted?

Hirano Takao did not give him an answer, and said, "I am very happy to meet tonight. But unfortunately, I have to go to another appointment now. Tao Jun, you can come to visit often in the future. Ueda-san's home is also You can visit often to deepen your understanding.”

   "...Okay. President Hirano has something to do, so I'll take my leave."

   "Tao Jun, since you're here by car, how about taking Tiansang home? You can continue to chat for a while."

   "…Of course, it should be."

   Ueda Masahiro looked unceremonious, stood up and bowed to Hirano Takao, and said goodbye together with Tao Zhiming.

   In front of the car, Yuta Irie was already waiting there. Tao Zhiming helped Ueda Masahiro open the car door and asked him to get in the car first.

"Go to Lord Ueda's house first." Tao Zhiming told Yuta Irie about the location before looking at Masahiro Ueda and smiled, "Lord Ueda, I haven't heard anything about my brother before, Xana. If there is any offense, please Your pardon."

   Ueda Masahiro shook his head: "Usually, our family doesn't want to mention this more."

   "Sorry..." Tao Zhiming said with a tangled face, "But President Hirano's suggestion, I really didn't expect it... Ueda-sama, what do you think?"

   "Tao Jun, how much do you know about our Ueda family?" Ueda Masahiro didn't answer the question.

"I only know that it has been passed down from history to today. As a Chinese family, it has a brilliant reputation in kendo. That's all..." Tao Zhiming said truthfully, "Oh, and also, you are the director of the Xia Guild Hall. I know it too."

   Ueda Masahiro nodded: "With your ingenuity, you must be thinking now, what does the dignified chairman of Mitsubishi mean by making such a suggestion?"

"…really."

   Ueda Masahiro himself raised this topic, but did not answer for a while.

  Tao Zhiming didn't know if it was because Yuta Irie was there, and he didn't ask in a hurry.

   Anyway, it is they who have ideas, not themselves.

   After a while, Ueda Masahiro spoke up: "Did you say that you want to defeat Morijiro in an upright manner and start taking action?"

   "...That's right." Although he only told Sun Zhengyi's softwing background, he was starting to help him.

   "Not now."

"…what?"

   Ueda Masahiro turned to look at him: "As long as you want, the engagement between Shana and Morijiro can be cancelled."

   Tao Zhiming's eyes sharpened: "What do you mean?"

   "President Hirano's proposal, I think it's good." Ueda Masahiro said quietly, "If you think it's good, Shana doesn't have to fulfill the marriage contract, and I can entrust her to you."

  Tao Zhiming looked at him without a word for a long time, but Ueda Masahiro's eyes were calm.

   After a while, Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly: "Based on your attitude, I don't dare to consider that suggestion, and I don't want to give up my surname at all."

   "Do you think I use my children as a weapon?" Ueda Masahiro did not shy away, and asked straightforwardly.

   "Maybe I misunderstood." Tao Zhiming replied calmly.

   "I really think that proposal is good." Ueda Masahiro retracted his gaze and looked forward, "At least, Shana likes you, doesn't she? She will be happy."

   "Really? I don't believe it." Tao Zhiming smiled, "You must know that I already have another woman. Do you think Shana will really be happy?"

"It's just my experience when I was young." Ueda Masahiro said with a tone of indifference, "Attitude, conveyed to you. Of course, it depends on your will, if you want to know our Ueda family, if you have any questions, you want to ask me, or practice swordsmanship. , you can come home anytime."

Tao Zhiming didn't understand very much: "I also expressed my attitude. Lord Ueda, why do you have such a whimsical idea? With my identity, where I am now, and the character you know about me, how could it be possible to accept this kind of advice? ?"

   "Master President made a suggestion, I expressed my attitude, you also expressed my attitude, the matter is over." Ueda Masahiro looked at him calmly, "It's just a suggestion, isn't it?"

  “…”

  Old men, you managed to get my attention.

  Tao Zhiming thought about it and then smiled: "That's it, then I'm relieved. I almost thought that there were other conditions that I couldn't refuse."

"What other conditions are there? It seems that the name and legacy of the Ueda family, as well as the future of Shana, are not enough to impress you." Masahiro Ueda said quietly, "When I get home, I can tell Shana. Your decision has been made. For her happiness, I have also worked hard. There is really no choice but to continue to fulfill the agreement with the Mori family. "

  Tao Zhiming's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled casually: "This is your freedom. Ueda-sama, you choose to use your sword to hurt her, what can I do?"

   After that, he was speechless all the way. When he arrived at the door of his house, Ueda Masahiro said, "Come in and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

  Tao Zhiming shook his head: "It's too late, I won't disturb your rest."

   Ueda Masahiro nodded and walked towards the door.

   went to the door, stopped, and didn't look back: "Speaking of what must be done, Dalang. I will wait and see if we will defeat Morijiro in a dignified manner."

  Tao Zhiming didn't answer, and when he saw him walking through the door, he turned to the car and muttered that something was wrong.

   Ueda Masahiro was just about to write the words "I have a special plan" on his face, but he was still holding the posture of an expert.

   I really don't understand how he and Hirano Takao planned, but it doesn't matter.

   In the current situation, Tao Zhiming was not allowed to step on two boats.

   "They also want to give you a woman?" Yuta Irie asked carefully while driving, "Is this Ueda-sama's daughter?"

"Subdued these people." Tao Zhiming waved his hand, "don't worry about them, go home. He doesn't want to send his daughter, he wants me to be a son-in-law and an adopted son. Do you think I am someone who is willing to be a son-in-law and an adopted son? ?"

   "...Isn't there a legacy? Ueda-sama, there should be a lot of legacy."

   "Yuta, your thinking is very problematic! Am I someone who needs to inherit an inheritance? What's wrong with being a rich generation without restraint? Why do you call someone else's father?"

   "...Neon has a lot of adopted sons." Yuta Irie explained, "I just think that compared to that Hoshino Suzu, they seem to be less malicious. After all, marriage... can be considered a real close person."

   "Yuta! You used to be a yakuza! Don't you study politics like others?"
