Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 208 I Can't Let Go

   "I want to cut you too!" Ueda Xana was flustered, and simply acted arrogantly as always, "I kindly told you to drink medicine, why did you cut me!"

   "This..." Tao Zhiming put down the water glass and said earnestly, "Do you know about "Three Kingdoms"?"

   Ueda Xana nodded dumbly: "I know."

   "In the Xia Kingdom, "Three Kingdoms" is one of the four famous novels. Do you know the other three?"

   "...It's like "Journey to the West", what else?" Ueda Xana knew these two.

"There is also a "Water Margin", the story of one hundred and eight heroes." Tao Zhiming sighed, "When he named me, my father wanted me to be called Taro like other people's children. But Well, his neon language is not very good, and in the end it was mistaken like this."

   Ueda Xana didn't know why he came here again, but... It's good to hear about his past, she even felt a little cosmic.

   This guy is talking to himself about his old family.

   "Then I was very distressed. Because of the name Dalang, there is also one in "Water Margin". That character is an ugly and short guy."

   Ueda Xana couldn't help laughing, and then said: "You haven't grown up like that, what are you worried about?"

   "Hey, that's not the point." Tao Zhiming continued, "Although the character named Dalang was short and ugly, he later married a very beautiful wife."

   "Huh?" Ueda Xana asked in surprise, "How did you do it?"

   "Because he is actually a good person and works very hard!" Tao Zhiming said sternly, "But his wife disliked his appearance and yearned for a rich life. In the end, she hooked up with another rich man!"

   "Ah! Such a woman..."

"And! In order to be with that rich man, she did a lot of bad things! Right at home! That character named Dalang broke their adultery, but was injured by the rich man! It's a shame that the woman finally When he was injured, he killed his husband with poison!" Tao Zhiming stared at her, "So don't tell me, Dalang, it's time to drink the medicine! There is a psychological shadow!"

   "You!" Ueda Xana blushed, "Why do you think so? I'm not that..."

   "Huh? I just said there is a psychological shadow, have you replaced Cheng Dalang's bad wife?"

   "Who's broken!" Ueda Xana was very angry, and then reacted, "No, I didn't think that way!"

  Tao Zhiming kept waving his hand: "No, no, don't make me laugh, it will tear the wound."

   "...You are clearly teasing me!"

   "Okay." Tao Zhiming put away his smile, then looked at her, his eyes softened, "Xana, I also have a name of Xia Kingdom, which is not commonly used, and few people know it."

   Ueda Xana looked at him with a sweet heart, and asked with anticipation, "Want to tell me?"

  Tao Zhiming nodded: "Call Tao Zhiming, know the meaning of fate. When you call me Dalang, I always feel that you want to kill me. In the future, you can call me Benming."

   "...You bastard!" Ueda Xana didn't expect that he had just finished speaking serious words, but he was immediately ridiculed in a serious manner, "It's too thick-skinned! Just like what my father said!"

   "...It's so uncomfortable." Tao Zhiming covered his chest, "I'm here, but the injury I suffered for you will leave permanent scars. At this time, don't you understand my sincerity?"

  "..." Ueda Xana was just a little moved, then turned his head away, and murmured, "Who knows! You guy, you are so good at acting, my mother and I didn't see it today!"

   "Hey...sad." Tao Zhiming sighed deeply, "I originally had my heart on Mingyue, but Mingyue wanted to cut me."

   "...What does the original sentence mean?" Ueda Xana thought this sentence was very interesting, and he must have changed the latter half.

   "An ancient poem of Xia Guo. It means that although my heart is on you, you are thinking of other people." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Could it be that the two of us can't escape Dalang's fate after all?"

   "Hey!" Ueda Xana was in a mood for a while after being teased by him, "Is that how you treat me? Am I that kind of woman?"

   "Then what kind of woman are you?" Tao Zhiming looked at her with a smile.

   Ueda Xana hesitated, and then changed the subject: "That Onodera Runa, what's going on?"

  The smile on Tao Zhiming's face gradually disappeared. Ueda Xana was originally righteous, but suddenly he was a little flustered: "It's not that I don't believe what you said in the morning, but..."

   "Do you really want to ask clearly?" Tao Zhiming looked at her calmly.

   Ueda Xana looked at him, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

   On the phone call that day, it was the first time I heard so much from his heart.

   He said to himself that he did not want to deceive himself. But at this moment, Shana Ueda was a little afraid that what he said was not the answer he wanted to hear.

   But if you don’t really love yourself, why do you want to do this for yourself?

   "Don't you ask?" Tao Zhiming asked calmly again.

   Ueda Shana bit her lip and her eyes turned red.

  Tao Zhiming let out a long sigh, and squeezed his hand lightly on his shoulder twice: "So, Ueda-sama really wants to cut me with this knife, and it wasn't too light before."

   Ueda Xana's heart was even more sour, and tears fell uncontrollably.

   Father knows what he said. Those words were actually his sincere question.

"It doesn't matter whether you don't understand or accept it, this fact has already happened." Tao Zhiming said quietly, "At that time, I didn't know you, and I wasn't so familiar with you. But now, Liu Nai It has become a very important part of my career map.”

   Ueda Shana's tears fell drop by drop, and even a little regretful, in order to avoid the embarrassment of that moment, he directly raised this question.

   "...then... what about later?"

  The matter has come to this point, she can only continue to ask such a sentence.

Tao Zhiming said calmly: "In the future, she will continue to exist in my life as the president of Onodera Fortune. In order to make her work hard for my cause, I will accept her daughter as a righteousness in the future. Female, cultivate well for the future career."

   Ueda Xana nodded and shed a few tears: "I know... Father is a very special person. He may know very well that he can't ask you to do like him. But...but I..."

"You want your future husband to be a single-minded man like Ueda-sama." Tao Zhiming added this sentence for her, "Even if the Ueda family has no male heir, he did not choose to find another woman. have another child."

   Ueda Shana regretted coming here.

   Mingming was only worried about his injury, but suddenly he made this topic so clear.

   At this level, even she herself can no longer hold out in front of him and say that she doesn't like him, and said those words just to ask him to help defeat Morijiro.

   So she became more and more sad, why did she know him precisely at this moment.

  Why did I know him just after he became like this.

   Over the past few days, she had already quietly understood what a simple person Tao Dalang was in the past.

  Although Tao Dalang at that time, she would definitely not like it.

   But now, he is loved and hated, hard to let go, and powerless.

Ueda Xana raised his head and wiped his eyes, but he took the initiative to take his hand and said sincerely with tears: "I know, in your mind, love is no longer sacred. But you can give your life to My father is here to judge, I understand your heart. That's the trust you tried to give, because after you know about Qiantai's brother, you must know what kind of person your father is. Our family is full of Someone who can be worthy of your trust. Don't have any more shadows because of Zizi, okay? Little by little, little by little, change back and trust again, okay?"

   Tao Zhiming looked at her hopeful face, and couldn't bear to say anything that hurt her.

  Under the arrogant surface, there is actually a very pure heart.

   But Tao Zhiming is not someone who can abandon Onodera Runa, and he is no longer the mentality that he had when he was only in his twenties before his rebirth.

   So Tao Zhiming remained silent and did not answer.

   The light in Xana Ueda's eyes dimmed little by little, but he didn't let go, as if he still had the last hope.

  Tao Zhiming took her hand and slowly put it on his heart. This action made the light in Ueda Xana's eyes warm again and sparkle.

   His heart was beating under Ueda Xana's palm, and Ueda Xana's heart beat faster, but he shrank his palm back again, as if shy and afraid of hurting his wound.

   "I can't give you this answer now, Shana." Tao Zhiming said this first.

   Ueda Xana's eyes lost some of their brilliance, and then he forced a smile and shook his head: "I understand."

   "But the words on the billboard are serious." Tao Zhiming looked her in the eye and said, "I want to protect your future and change your fate that you have to accept the marriage demands of other big families."

   Ueda Xana looked at him blankly.

  Yes, although I already know now that my father doesn't really want to accept Morijiro, but he made a promise to the Iwasaki family because of his brother.

   Not Morijiro, there will be someone else.

  They...they are disgusting guys.

"Actually, I have changed the fate of the Ueda family." Tao Zhiming continued, "If today's performance was successful, things should have changed now. After returning home, I can no longer let the whole world know that I am I won't give up on you, because you are being watched by everyone, so I let Ueda-sama slash me as hard. Next time, it's better."

   Ueda Xana looked at his face dumbfoundedly: "Also... is there another time?"

   "Yeah, it's just the beginning." Tao Zhiming said embarrassedly, "Only when things are completely successful can you and Auntie know why they are doing this."

   Ueda Xana didn't understand what it meant when he heard someone outside shouting and running into the Kendo Club: "That Mori family, held a press conference to announce that they gave up their engagement with Ueda-senpai! Tao-senpai won!"

  Tao Zhiming's eyes flashed, and Ueda Xana stood up in surprise.

   "Ah... it hurts!"

   "Huh?" Ueda Xana hurriedly sat down again, "Are you alright?"

   Tao Zhiming said in distress: "What can I do? Who told me not to let go?"

   Ueda Xana realized that his hand was still in his palm, listening to his words, thinking about the news he just heard, and was momentarily insane.

  The Mori family, really gave up the engagement like this?

   But, why continue to challenge your father?

   Or does he just go to his father to practice kendo in the future?

   "Dalang..."

   "Call your life!"

   Ueda Xana's expression froze, and he pouted angrily.

   Tao Zhiming looked at her cheerfully.

   "...If you're injured, I won't care about you anymore!" Ueda Shana pulled his hand back at this moment, "Didn't the Mori family give up the engagement? Hasn't this matter been successful?"

  Tao Zhiming stretched out his hand: "I won't tell you if I won't let you hold it."

   "...Rogue!" Ueda Xana spat in shame, looking away, "It's hot!"

   "That's why I said, take off your clothes when it's hot."

  "..." Ueda Xana blushed and stared back, "I'll go back and ask Dad if I don't say anything!"

   "Then go back." Tao Zhiming reached out to open the Bloomberg machine, "I'll work for a while, and I'm going to rest."

   Ueda Xana couldn't do anything about him and sat on the side angrily.

  Tao Zhiming really watched the market for a while, and then started to call: "Old Zhao, did the Mori family really hold a press conference?"

   "...Yes, the news just now." Zhao Yuanxi hesitated and asked, "Your injury?"

   "Skin and flesh wounds, it's negotiable." Tao Zhiming glanced at Ueda Xana, "Anyway, he wants to use his daughter to pay for this debt."

   Ueda Xana looked confused because Tao Zhiming spoke Chinese to Zhao Yuanxi.

  Encrypted calls are deadly.

   "...I really convinced you, how about such a life-threatening situation?" Zhao Yuanxi sighed and asked, "What's the arrangement?"

   "The advertising space has been paid for. Since the purpose of the first stage has been achieved, let's implement the plan of the second stage. The cost of changing the advertisement will be given to them."

   "I know, don't worry about it, take care of your injuries."

   Tao Zhiming hung up the phone, and Ueda Xana said, "What did you just say?"

   "Arrange the subordinates to replace the advertisement and start replacing it tomorrow: Warm congratulations to Miss Shana for her dream of free love!"

   Ueda Xana blushed: "Are you crazy?"

   "Just kidding, don't make me laugh, it will tear the wound."

   Ueda Xana was very angry: "You are joking yourself!"

   "Then what should I do, I like seeing you without a proud face, making people happy."

  Ueda Xia is unhappy, who always puts on a proud face... Kawashima Shiko also said the same, is it really annoying?

  Tao Zhiming started to make another phone call. This time, Ueda Xana understood, and immediately focused his attention, and his head moved closer.

   "Runa, tomorrow will start putting up advertisements promoting Onodera's wealth. Please contact Sada-kun and Kawasaki-kun to arrange the reception briefing."

   "I understand. Dalang, your injury..."

   "Don't worry, it's alright."

   "...Although I said before that I would sleep at school, but now I have suffered such a serious injury, why don't I... come back? I can take care of you."

   "No, it's just a flesh wound. That's all, I have to call Yosuke."

   "...I understand, then you...rest."

   Tao Zhiming hung up the phone and looked at Xana Ueda first.

   The little girl's expression is a bit interesting. She obviously overheard it just now, but now she put her head aside.

Tao Zhiming continued to call Ueno Yosuke: "Your shopkeeper, you should have a serious talk with him. My advertisements are going to be changed. If I can negotiate with him, there is still time to promote the advertising position for a month. A new bookstore of Dimensional Culture."

   "...I try my best, what about the conditions?"

   "Ask him what he wants first, and then discuss it with me. That's it, hang up."

   Ueda Xana saw him and continued to make another call: "Yota, do you have a goal for the music, dance, and make-up team that you learned about before?"

   "...there are some, but they dislike me and think I don't understand anything."

   "...you bastard, don't make me laugh, don't know if I'm hurt?"

  Irie Yuta was very aggrieved: "I'm studying hard!"

"...Well done. Then choose a few from the ones that you think have good reviews in the industry and are very serious, make an appointment, I'll go see them tomorrow. Also, tomorrow will start to replace some WanderDance commercials, you Pay attention to answering calls and letters. With the level of attention I have now, within a week, I should receive some resumes, choose a hotel conference room, and interview those singers and dancers."

   "I see. But meet those teams tomorrow, your injury..."

   "Don't worry, it's okay, I won't go to see them naked and wearing gauze."

   "...Seeing if you're in the mood for a joke, then I'll leave it alone. This is where the connection begins."

  Ueda Xana had more and more questions in his head. Seeing that he stopped calling, he couldn't help but ask, "Singer? Dancer?"

   "What's the matter? Dance halls, of course there must be singers and dancers." Tao Zhiming said as a matter of course, and added, "Young, beautiful and lovely girls are the main ones!"

   Ueda Xana glared at him with a bulging mouth.

   "It's for art!"

   Ueda Xana lowered his head and muttered, "You know you're mad at me."

   "This matter was planned in March, should it be changed?"

   "...Are you sleeping here today?"

   Tao Zhiming nodded: "Recuperate, it's not suitable to run around."

   "Then why are you going to see others tomorrow? You are so anxious." Ueda Xana muttered.

   "Is there any way?" Tao Zhiming sighed, "I need to worry about everything."

   "Why do you need so much money!"

   "Haha." Tao Zhiming smiled awkwardly, "You haven't gone home yet, do you want to stay with me here at night?"

   "I..." Ueda Xana was teased to break the defense again, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

   "I still have work to do. Next, I have to contact the people who help me with financial transactions. I have to talk to them all the time. I'm afraid you will get bored."

   "Where's dinner?" Ueda Xana asked angrily.

   Tao Zhiming pointed to the instant ramen not far away.

   "Let's go!" Ueda Shana put on protective gear and was ready to go out.

"There's no need for that." Tao Zhi ordered, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, I'll just wear sunglasses when I go out. There's no one like you walking on the road, at least in school, people guess it's you, and then secretly Laugh. Might as well be more generous."

  "..." Ueda Shana still went out, and came back after a while, "Then wait until it gets dark."

   Outside, Yamane Yokohisa was very depressed.

   He called out to a first-year student in a very aggrieved way: "Senior Tao is recovering, help him buy a dinner and come back!"

   After he finished speaking, he took out the money that Ueda Xana gave him just now and handed it over: "There must be some nutrition!"

   "Okay!" The first grader slipped away excitedly.

   Yamane Yokohisa gritted his teeth and shouted to the remaining members: "Not enough energy! Concentrate!"

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

   Yamane Yokohisa wanted to cut someone down, but he always felt that the shouting was mocking him.

  …

   "Where did that kid Xana go?"

  After dinner, Ueda Masahiro returned home. Seeing that Ueda Xana wasn't at home, he couldn't help asking in astonishment.

  Ueda Haruko helped him hang his clothes and said with a smile: "Is this still a guess? Really, I was also terrified in the morning."

   "This child..." Ueda Masahiro was a little helpless, and immediately went to the phone.

   "Husband!" Haruko Ueda shouted, "Whether Dalang-san is recovering from an injury, or whether he and Shana are talking about something, it's not appropriate to make a phone call at this time, right?"

   Ueda Masahiro was in a dilemma and could only sigh lightly.

"You've already done this, do you really want to entrust Shana to him?" Ueda Haruko brought tea and snacks for him, sat down and said, "In that case, let the two children spend more time alone. The time spent together is also good.”

   "How can Shana be entrusted to this old fox-like guy!" Ueda Masahiro muttered.

   "Then what about acting together?" Ueda Haruko recalled the situation at the time and sighed, "Being able to trust your sword is also sincere enough for Shana."

"What do you know!" Ueda Masahiro put down the cup angrily, "That guy, it's mainly for business competition! He has such a consciousness for the sake of profit, and it's partly for Shana, I don't even see it. Wear it! Most importantly, there are other women around that guy!"

When Ueda Haruko heard him say this, she could only sigh deeply, and then took his arm: "But how many men are like you now? Especially with the ability, wealth and status like him. young people."

"I'd rather be a more honest child." Ueda Masahiro expressed his feelings before he said helplessly, "So Shana is a stupid child. If she doesn't want that guy, I can just choose to have pure interests with him. cooperation on.”

   "In that case, he wouldn't be involved in this, would he?" Haruko Ueda saw it clearly, "After all, it's related to the Iwasaki family."

   Ueda Masahiro was speechless, so he could only divert his depression to another direction: "I still have to ask, let Shana come back sooner! That guy, there are too many tricks. How can you resist this stupid boy, Shana?"

   "...I'm back." Unexpectedly, Shana Ueda's voice rang at the entrance immediately, and then complained, "Dad, how stupid am I!"

   Ueda Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at his daughter who walked in with a straight face: "How many people are paying attention to you now, just run out like this, are you not afraid of encountering an embarrassing situation?"

"Am I going to hide at home from now on and not even go to school?" Ueda Xana walked over and sat beside him and said with a smile, "If I go earlier and come back later, and both take the car, All right."

   "...let your mother pick you up later!"

   "...No need." Ueda Xana secretly glanced at Ueda Masahiro, "The time is not always so fixed..."

   Ueda Masahiro's head hurts: "I see that kid, is he okay?"

   "...very energetic."

   "...I knew it would be a little deeper."

   "Father!"

   Ueda Xana snorted, which made Ueda Masahiro even more brain pain.

   Is this a deeper cut, or is it better to cut a little deeper?
