Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 231 Behind the scenes

  There was a lot of discussion at the University of Tokyo. Although Tao Zhiming was able to persuade him on the spot, after he and Ueno Yosuke left the school, it started to become lively again.

   After listening to the report, Totsuka Seijun asked the chief for instructions in a wary and embarrassed manner, and then called the Ueda family.

   "Ueda-kun, I'm Seijun Totsuka, the student minister of the University of Tokyo." He politely said hello before saying, "I heard that Xana-san was locked at home by you?"

   "The summer vacation is coming soon. Instead of going out and being talked about everywhere, I think it would be better for her to stay at home for a while."

   Totsuka Shojun said helplessly: "Xana-san...As the vice president of the Kendo Club, he has always been respected by the students. After hearing about her current situation, the students are a little restless now."

   "Did that Tao Dalang spread it out? The guy who is used to provoking people!" Ueda Masahiro's voice was very annoyed.

   "...I'm afraid not. During the meeting to discuss the matter of Tao Dalang, a colleague's voice became louder, probably overheard."

   "Then Totsuka-kun, do you have any advice for me?"

"I personally think." Totsuka Shengjun immediately emphasized again, "It's just my personal opinion that Tao Dalang thinks this is a private matter between you and him, and I agree with it. Ueda-kun, your request, the school There is no stand to support it.”

   "It seems that your school considers him to be an excellent student? Even if he is associated with a pole organization, is it worth advocating to open a dance hall?"

"Ueda-kun!" Totsuka Shengjun's tone became a little tougher, "Do you want to let Xana graduate now? If the University of Tokyo really expels Tao Dalang, what will other students think of Xana after returning to school? she?"

   Ueda Masahiro did not answer this.

"...Besides, since Xana has told Tao Dalang that his brother committed suicide, it can be seen that she really likes Tao Dalang." Totsuka Shengjun persuaded again, "If you do this, how will you face it in the future? Where's your daughter?"

   "What do you mean? How did you know about this?"

"Tao Dalang finally wants to apply to the school for access to Kenta's information..." Totsuka Shojun paused and sighed, "Ueda-kun, I had already entered the University of Tokyo at that time and worked in Hirano-san's office, so I knew a little bit. Although Hirano-san was not the chief at that time, it was a big event after all. Of course, Tao Dalang's request was rejected. However, I don't know how much your daughter said to him. Reconciliation, he finds the media as before on impulse... Do you really care? After all, the school also sealed the archives at your request back then..."

"...I understand." Ueda Masahiro said after being silent for a while, "I will seriously consider this issue. As long as Tao Dalang does not continue to harass our family's life, and promises not to provoke Shana in the future, I can pursue."

   "Ueda-kun, I hope you understand. Even in the current situation, we have enough position to refuse your request."

   "Is this the official answer from your school?"

   "No, this is just my personal opinion. Also, I will state it to the President."

   "I see. Goodbye then."

   Ueda Masahiro put down the phone, and Yamamoto Xianren was very incomprehensible: "Let's release the child? Didn't you have a good relationship with Tao Dalang before? Why did you get into such a commotion and asked the school to expel him?"

   "How did he humiliate our Ueda family, didn't you see it?" Ueda Masahiro looked ugly.

"In short, I won't help you with this matter!" Yamamoto Xianren glanced at the door of the bedroom inside, then sighed, "In those days, your son was my student, and I felt a little guilty for you all these years. I've always wanted to do something for you. But it's too much of you to ask me for something like this!"

   Ueda Masahiro was silent.

"All in all, I have also heard a lot of discussions in the school. The members of the Kendo Club, in particular, are very angry with your actions. Why do you have to marry the Mori family? Tao Dalang is much better than that Morijiro. He No relatives, it is actually the best choice for you. As for those Chinese identities that have become history, I have persuaded you many times. As long as the Ueda family becomes stronger and stronger, do you think they will not recognize that kid?"

   "So...you won't help me with this matter?"

"No help!" Yamamoto Xianren pushed his glasses, blew his beard and stared, "Do you have a demon? Tao Dalang really helped me a lot in that subject. Just because I was able to submit the results in time. , the hearing on the national railway reform was only postponed to the 28th. You asked me to tell the school that the guy bought the seat with money, which really surprised me! I won't say anything if you are such a person, but you treat me as a Who is it?"

   "Yamamoto-kun." Ueda Masahiro moved his feet and took two steps back, and suddenly a soil came down, his forehead was touching the floor.

   Ueda Haruko on the side saw this, her eyes reddened, and she slowly bowed down.

  Xianren Yamamoto was a little at a loss for a while: "There's no need for this, I'm just saying this when I'm angry..."

   Ueda Masahiro straightened up and said, "Please come with me."

  Xianren Yamamoto followed him to the porch outside the house with some doubts, and then he heard Masahiro Ueda say softly, "I don't want to be overheard by Shana."

   "...Why did you suddenly get down?"

   "Nine years, please forgive my prudence. It took nine years to confirm that you have no other plans for the Ueda family."

   Yamamoto showed a small question mark on his face.

   "Yamamoto-kun, what I really want to ask you is not to help persuade the school to expel Dalang."

   "...Suddenly called so kindly again, what are you doing?"

   Ueda Masahiro stared at him and said earnestly: "Please help me and Dalang to find the black hand hidden in Dongdali and guide Kenta down that road!"

   Yamamoto's eyes widened immediately.

  …

   "Suddenly coming home, my father and mother are not prepared at all..." Ueno Yosuke was a little embarrassed, "Don't worry about it."

   "How could it be? Bring your classmates to the house, what else do you need to prepare?" Tao Zhiming raised his head and looked up at one of the family members of Yosuke Ueno's family, and joked, "You are rich, Yosuke, the place is not small."

   "... three generations accumulated, don't laugh at me, you are richer than my father, and now you are my president again."

   "What president, we are shareholders."

  Tao Zhiming followed Yosuke Ueno into the house and saw his father, mother, and grandmother who were still alive.

   For Tao Zhiming, who suddenly came to visit, the whole family seemed to know each other very well.

   When he was preparing for the establishment of Dimensional Culture, Yosuke Ueno's father supported him and knew that he started a business with a classmate.

   After I saw Tao Dalang in the news, I realized that his classmate was so powerful.

   Now suddenly coming to the house, the family has a somewhat warm feeling of seeing famous people.

   Yosuke Ueno was also confused, why did he suddenly come here on a whim.

   But around eight o'clock in the evening, while Tao Zhiming was visiting his father's pottery workshop and exhibition area, Tao Zhiming's cell phone rang.

   He took it out, stepped aside in the eyes of Yosuke Ueno's family who were very sighed, and said, "Hey, who is that?"

   "Tao Dalang." There was an unfamiliar voice on the phone, "Since you came to Setagaya on purpose, why don't you meet me."

  Tao Zhiming was silent for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Lord Iwasaki?"

   "Exactly, I guess I guessed right. You know the address, right?"

   "…Ok. Now?"

   "Yes, I'll wait for you."

Tao Zhiming hung up the phone, took a deep breath, then turned around and said with a smile: "A friend knew that I came to Setagaya and asked me to meet now. Uncle, I can only take a handmade piece from you. already."

   "Thank you Tao Jun for your affirmation. Just take whatever you think is suitable."

  Tao Zhiming smiled: "This time it's a distinguished friend, take the most expensive one. Just give it to me at the market price."

   Yosuke Ueno felt that he might not have come to his own house on a whim.

   "Dalang, going out so late...isn't it dangerous?" Yosuke Ueno couldn't help but ask when he was sent to the door. He always felt that his expression was too solemn when he answered the phone just now.

   "Don't worry, just a friend. Open the door for me when I get back."

   Although Tao Zhiming said so, he still made a phone call after getting in the car: "Xiong Tai, something may have happened, where are you?"

   "The roadside at the midpoint."

"wait for me."

   When I arrived at the door of Iwasaki Kuranosuke's house, it has become Yuta Irie driving.

  Tao Zhiming doesn't care about Iwasaki Kuranosuke. People may have been staring at him, letting the other party know that he is also prepared to come, which is good or bad.

   Since we have this plan, it is normal to come with preparations.

   He got out of the car, the courtyard door had been opened by a young man. The man bent down and said, "Is it Tao Jun? Please come with me."

   "It's work. Yuta, just wait for me here."

  Irie Yuta nodded solemnly and returned to the car.

  Tao Zhiming walked all the way without looking sideways.

   Entering the door, I saw a slightly chubby, smiling middle-aged man with a beard standing in front of the entrance.

   "First meeting, my dear Iwasaki Kuranosuke." He bent slightly.

  Tao Zhiming also bent down, slightly larger: "I have seen Iwasaki-sama."

   "Specially prepared a gift, Tao Jun has a heart."

   "Just guessing, Iwasaki-sama may be paying attention to me. I just prepared the gift at my classmate's house. I'm sorry."

   The young man took the gift in his hand and left, Iwasaki Kuranosuke stretched out his hand and asked him to go to the living room.

  Tao Zhiming got a lot of energy.

   Today's game is the most critical.

After acting and creating so many smoke bombs, since Takao Hirano initially proposed to make him the adopted son of the Ueda family's son-in-law at the behest of this person, he would most likely choose to meet Tao Zhiming or Kinoshita. Show style.

   Tao Zhiming felt that it would be better to take the initiative to deliver it to the door.

   So today he came to Setagaya, because the place where the Iwasaki family owner usually stays is not a secret to Ueda Masahiro, Kitagawa Atsushi and Ansai Zenwei.

   If he heard that he had come to Setagaya, would he have a temporary opinion to meet him?

  Tao Zhiming wanted to create such an opportunity.

   Now, I have met him in person.

   "Tao Jun, to use an old saying in your Xia Kingdom, it's better to see it once you hear it."

   Hearing the first sentence after sitting down, Tao Zhiming's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at him: "Ashamed, it is my honor to be invited by Iwasaki-sama."

   Iwasaki Kuranosuke's beard cocked his smile: "I always like to give full attention to people who I admire very much from the beginning. Tao Jun, should you feel this?"

  Tao Zhiming remembered the family banquet of Hirano Takao at the beginning, and nodded and said: "It is true, I was very surprised and honored to receive the invitation from President Hirano for the first time."

"So, Mr. Tao should know that President Hirano's proposal is indeed sincere." Iwasaki Kuranosuke leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Sumitomo is very strong in the real estate field, compared with us, we Mitsubishi is the place where Tao-kun and Kinoshita-kun can better display their talents.”

"Big brother Xiufeng has established a relationship with Sumitomo, and it is not so easy to cut it off." Tao Zhiming also owed his debts, "My status is special, because I haven't graduated yet, so I didn't really enter Mogami Hengsan. So I wanted to use the Hirano Club. Chang's proposal, to become a bridge of transition through the Ueda family. But...you must also know that Ueda-sama is very resistant to me! To be honest, I came to Setagaya with a glimmer of hope today, and I also wanted to try it out. There is no possibility of your help."

   "Oh?" Iwasaki Kuranosuke asked with an interested smile, "What kind of help?"

"Because Ueda-sama asked the school to expel me." Tao Zhiming paused after speaking, "I am worried that the Mori family and Ueda-sama will exert influence on the school together and let me be expelled from the University of Tokyo, which will become a stain on my life. At the same time, it must also cut off the possibility of me entering the Ueda family. Thinking that all this was initiated by the suggestion of President Hirano, I had no choice but to go to Setagaya to try my luck.”

  Iwasaki Kuranosuke smiled noncommittally: "Then why didn't you contact President Hirano first?"

Tao Zhiming was silent for a while, and then said apologetically, "Although I am very rude, I saw Director Suga when I went to Ueda's house to challenge. The night before yesterday, I met with President Mori, and I saw Ueda-sama who he took out. The power of attorney confirms that the two of them have closely aligned their substantial interests, so I said some words to Director Suka that doubted the sincerity of President Hirano."

   "So it is." Iwasaki Kuranosuke nodded, "However, because of the important history and future of your life, wouldn't Sumitomo refuse to help?"

  Tao Zhiming smiled bitterly: "Probably because I have already said that to the public, it is inconvenient to immediately give up the challenge and other reasons that cannot convince them."

   "However, didn't President Beichuan and Specialist Anzai solemnly assure the board of directors that Tao-kun and Kinoshita-kun are absolutely fine?"

  Tao Zhiming looked at his smiling face and thought that it was not surprising that Mitsubishi had nails on Sumitomo's board.

   He sighed: "If I let Director Anzhai and even President Beichuan help me, wouldn't my relationship with them be even closer?"

Iwasaki Kuranosuke's smile became brighter and brighter at first, and then quickly subsided, and he asked calmly: "If Tao-kun and Kinoshita-kun suspect, we just regard them as tools, and now the Mori family and the Ueda family have come This is a step that meets our expectations, isn't Tao Jun not worried that we will stop here?"

Tao Zhiming stared at him, then lowered his head: "If Iwasaki-sama doesn't see me, then I probably think so. Since I have been invited by you to come here, it means that Xiufeng and I are still valuable. ."

"Well said!" Iwasaki Kuranosuke slapped, "I like to talk about value! Tao-kun and Kinoshita-kun snatched Takeda Takanao's land from us, the method was very clever! I am amazed! Ten billion yen, to be able to invite such excellent two people into the arms of Mitsubishi, it is totally worth it!"

   Tao Zhiming's eyes flashed coldly, his head bowed.

   Just want to spend tens of billions more? Are you thinking about peaches?
