Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 92 Opportunities in the privatization of the National Railway

   Ueda Xana coughed a little flustered and changed the subject: "After washing... I need to tidy up the venue! I... go back first!"

   "It's so late, wait for me to take you back." Tao Zhiming was in a good mood, wiped his sweat and smiled brightly, and walked towards the bathroom.

   Ueda Shana's feet were hesitant.

   The left leg wants to step out, but the right leg wants to stay.

   Hearing the sound of water over there, her face suddenly turned red...

   "You... can drive?"

   On the taxi, Ueda Xana found such a topic by himself.

  Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly.

  I don't know what car she wants to take.

   "Speaking of which, I learned to drive because I wanted to get along with that woman Kawashima Zizi more conveniently." Tao Zhiming said in a regretful tone, "As a result, when I learned to drive, I realized that I was too naive."

   Ueda Xana did not expect the topic to lead to such an answer.

   was a bit embarrassing for a while, and it was difficult to associate the word naive with the Tao Dalang in front of him.

   She was silent for a while, then said, "Zizi she..."

   Tao Zhiming said immediately, "I don't want to mention her!"

   Ueda Xana was anxious: "You brought it up first!"

   "…Oh, yes, sorry. But that was to answer your question."

   "You just said: 'I have learned'. Don't you do it? Did I mention Zizi on purpose to deepen the guilt that I took her to see you last time?"

Tao Zhiming shook his head: "You think too much. Do you think I'm like someone who can't let her go? Use her to deepen your guilt, how could you do that? You've already helped me a lot. already."

   "Then why can't I mention it?"

   "Of course I think you want to say something nice for her. I just hate her now and don't want to hear it."

   Ueda Xana whispered in a low voice: "Who wants to say good things for her..."

   She did pay more attention in private before, and found that what Tao Dalang said seemed to be right.

  Kawashima Shiko... It's true that I'm dating several men at the same time, even recently...

   She also said she was single.

   But, she really didn't know what Kawashima Shiko did to Tao Dalang. These things are not easy to ask Kawashima Zizi himself, nor to him.

   As for Yosuke Ueno who may know the situation... Doesn't it seem that he is a little too curious about Tao Dalang?

  Tao Zhiming immediately said, "However, I know you are different from her. Why didn't Mr. Shana go home first? When I returned to the Kendo Club, I was pleasantly surprised to see you."

   Ueda Xana was stunned.

  Yeah, why didn't you go home first?

   She said stubbornly: "Since you have already arrived at school, of course you have to finish today's practice. I wanted to see if Professor Yamamoto would let go, but... it was a waste of time!"

   She thinks this explanation is reasonable.

  Tao Zhiming smiled disgustingly: "Is that so? You see, what I said was right. Teacher Xana, like me, is also a self-disciplined person."

   "Of course!" Ueda Xana shrugged, feeling a little overjoyed.

   After taking her home in a chat, Tao Zhiming didn't get out of the car, he waved to her and left.

   Ueda Xana first walked into the house and closed the door before taking a look at the window next to him.

   Seeing the car go away, she pouted as if she relaxed a little, and let out a small breath.

   This guy is really willing to spend money and take her back in a taxi.

   Never saw him on a tram!

   As soon as he turned around, he saw his father standing in the center of the living room.

   "Father!" Ueda Xana felt a sudden shock, and quickly stood up and saluted.

  Ueda Masahiro, wearing a loose kimono, looked at his daughter and frowned and said, "Have you forgotten what I said when you came home so late?"

   "Actually..." Ueda Xana hurriedly explained, "I had dinner with Professor Yamamoto Kento tonight. After chatting a little longer, I went to the kendo club in the school to practice for a while before it was too late."

   She thought about it for a while and then showed a look of joy: "Father, I seem to have made a breakthrough today!"

   "Oh?" Ueda Masahiro was a little surprised, then calmed down again, "I'll test you tomorrow morning. Have dinner with Yamamoto-kun today? Will he have such free time?"

"Because... a member of our Kendo Club purchased an expensive machine, which happened to be helpful to Professor Yamamoto's research. Recently, we established a 'Sword of Finance Research Laboratory' in Kendo Club, and Professor Yamamoto is our guide. teacher."

Ueda Xana tried to say: "Because I didn't study economics, I couldn't participate in the research, but it just contributed to this. My father, that member is very appreciated by Professor Yamamoto, and even promised him that when the thesis is completed, he can change his name. Signed in the third author column. With your friendship with Professor Yamamoto, can you…”

Ueda Masahiro immediately raised his face: "Don't do things beyond your own capabilities and abilities! Besides, what's the use of you needing such an honor? The university is about to end, and you should learn more about the etiquette of aristocrats from your mother, and become an irresistible person. Picky woman!"

   Ueda Xana's heart froze, he lowered his head, and whispered, "I understand..."

   "It's time to get ready for bed." Ueda Masahiro finished, and turned around. After pausing, he asked slowly, "Just now, who brought you back?"

   Ueda Xana knew that his peeking outside should have been discovered, and said honestly: "It's the member of the Kendo Club."

   "The last time I called home, the one named Tao?" Ueda Masahiro didn't turn around.

   Ueda Xana's face with her head lowered was gloomy and uncertain, she pursed her lips tightly, and said, "Yes."

   "Which potter?"

   Ueda Xana's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and her voice was calm: "It's not that Tao family."

   "Pay attention to your identity, and your mission."

   Ueda Masahiro was silent for a while, then left a plain sentence and left the living room.

   Ueda Shana stood there for a while before taking a breath and walking to his bedroom.

   The special feeling just now was quickly drowned out by a basin of cold water from my father.

   The less constrained college years...is it over?

   After that, we have to take the road that I cannot escape.

   Ueda Xana sat on the edge of the bed and pursed his lips tightly, with a heroic air on his face, but tears gradually poured out of his eyes.

   She suddenly wanted to start school sooner.

  …

   Tao Zhiming returned home and found someone waiting for him in the living room.

   Seeing the side dishes and wine on the table, Tao Zhiming asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

   Yosuke Ueno stretched out his hand to let him sit across from him, and then said, "The bookstore where I work has been found. In fact, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, and then I just thought, I need to prepare first."

  Tao Zhiming looked at his formal appearance, drank a glass of wine and asked, "What happened?"

   Ueno Yosuke said with a smile: "Nothing special. However, a new place has been found, and it's very close to the bookstore where I work. I'm going to move there tomorrow."

  Tao Zhiming was stunned, and then he suddenly laughed: "It seems that you have discovered the matter with Runa? Yosuke, the consciousness has improved, it is worthy of praise!"

   "...Really. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly I don't want to say it." Ueno Yosuke drank gloomily.

   "Tell me, I want to hear it." Tao Zhiming was very interested.

Yosuke Ueno put down his glass of wine, put his hands on his knees, and said seriously: "I have learned a lot from you in the past month. Although I don't want to, I have to admit that there is a big gap with you now. Don't look at me like this, I'm also a man who doesn't want to admit defeat. Even if I can't surpass you in the future, I want to be a partner who can always stand by your side! So, test or something, don't worry! I will do it well!"

  Tao Zhiming looked at his serious eyes, and held up the cup with a smile on his mouth: "At least once a week, come back! Is the phone ready?"

   Ueno Yosuke also raised his cup and smiled: "Of course!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

   "The plan of the bookstore, the clue I want, has been found today!"

   "Really? That's really great. Can I use money to take some shares in the bookstore?"

   "20%, no more!"

"I…"

   "Can you handle more?"

   "I..." Ueno Yosuke was struck again, and asked with a sigh, "So, what is the clue?"

Tao Zhiming's eyes are frightening: "Private the National Railway! Although I don't know what the plan behind Mogami Hengsan is, I have found a target! There is a large area of ​​land near Shiodome, all of which belong to the National Railway. The National Railway, which is heavily indebted, will formulate a plan to dispose of this land. Then, we will target the vicinity of it!"

   "So it is!" Yosuke Ueno was also hilarious, "Is the national railway privatized? I really see that there are frequent discussions on the news, and reforms must be carried out. Do you want to participate in such a big event? It's really exciting!"

   "There must be some way to participate!" Tao Zhiming sighed in his heart, "The Neon National Railway, which has more than 20 trillion yen in debt, looks like a large piece of delicious meat at the moment. Let's drink some soup first!"
