Chieko Nakamori made an appointment at a beauty salon on Friday afternoon to touch up her hair and curl it.

She had been visiting this shop for a long time, and after the barber got acquainted with her, he knew that she was Akina Nakamori's mother, and asked enthusiastically, "Are you going to see Akina-san's concert?"

"Yes. ”

Chieko replied, "Still, I'll just go backstage and have a look." ”

"Then you have to dress up well. ”

"Yes, yes. The barber's words won Chieko's heart, she closed her eyes, and replied, "It's a trip anyway, and you can't be sloppy at all." ”

She thought that if she went backstage to the concert, she would see the staff around her daughter, so she would groom herself first.

Chieko is a person who hopes to be decent at all times. Even if you are young with a group of children who have not grown up, you must not let yourself look like a rustic country woman when you are young and walk the streets and alleys to work as a salesman in order to make a living.

If people don't have that kind of spirit, they will be defeated by themselves first.

Chieko looked at her radiant self in the mirror and was satisfied.

After coming out of the beauty salon, I went to the record store again, first put my daughter Akina's new single in the shopping basket, and then auditioned a few records in the store in a conspicuous place, and bought the one I liked.

After buying the record, I had dinner out again, and the lights were on before I left for home.

Getting off in front of Kiyose Station, Chieko walked to the conspicuous new building in front of the station. The restaurants owned by her husband, son and daughter are all in the cold.

She walked into the shop that her son owned, and when little Heita saw her grandmother, she ran to her side cheering, and probed her brain again, wondering what was in the bag her grandmother was holding.

"It's a record. Chieko said.

It's not a cake, Ping is too depressed and a little disappointed. But the child's heart began to wonder what kind of record it was, and the little face leaned over to the mouth of the bag and looked at it, "Ming Cai-chan!"

"Did you go to buy Akina's single?" Heita's mother came over.

"You have to support your daughter. Chieko's tone was cheerful.

As soon as this sentence fell, an awkward sentence came from the door: "It's like you're the only one who loves Mingna." ”

When Chieko heard this, her expression lightened a little, but she turned around with a smile and looked at her husband who walked in, "If you think I'm pretending, then I should also love Akina with practical actions." ”

She was very big, but her husband was a cautious eye.

Akio Nakamori looked at his radiant wife, and was calmed by her spirit, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

The three stores were all closed, and Akio Nakamori saw his estranged wife enter his son's store and came to have a look. As a result, as soon as they met, they were choked and speechless.

"The concert is on a Sunday, right?" Heita's mother quickly diverted the subject.

Chieko smiled, "Yes. I'll take Heita to play backstage, is that okay?"

"Go backstage, go backstage!"

Before his mother could speak, little Hei Taixian was already cheering. Backstage at the concert, still in Yomiuri Land, Heita was already ignited by his enthusiasm just by listening to his grandmother.

"When we entered the park, we took the cable car. Chieko planned with her little grandson.

Akio Nakamori looked at his wife, who had already begun to enjoy life, and was angry. He is faced with unsustainable business every day, how can she live so leisurely and refreshed?!

Thinking of this, he longed to make a mess of his wife's carefully permed hair.

"On Sunday morning, I came here to pick up Heita and go with him to Yomiuri Land. Chieko told Heita's mother.

After finishing the business here, he looked at his husband who was left aside, still smiling, "You have worked hard too." ”

“...... Well. Akio Nakamori was speechless.

Chieko remembered the other day, when Akina Nakamori came home to see her in order to deliver the internal pass on the day of the concert, she talked to her about this building.

She seemed to be inadvertent, and mentioned, "Kiyose was originally a small town, and now the whole family is doing the same business, how can there be so much business to do, it is better to disperse separately, and there are more opportunities." ”

Akio Nakamori didn't answer, but Heita's mother nodded subconsciously beside him.

What's the point of wasting time guarding a store that doesn't have a business......

When Akina first built this building for the family, Heita's mother was also happy about it, and felt that she was taken care of by her big star sister. But things took a turn for the worse when her husband quit his job and opened a shop in this building, and his father-in-law and aunt also opened a shop here.

Unconsciously, the brothers and sisters who had been fending for themselves outside suddenly gathered under the same umbrella again.

Although she knows that her idea is unreasonable, Heita's mother sometimes argues with her husband and blames it all because Akina built this building.

It is because of this building that the "family" is tied together.

"What do you know......" Akio Nakamori held on, arguing with his wife.

But Chieko didn't fight back. She was at ease throughout, completely unaffected by her husband. When they were young, the couple still quarreled and moved, but to this day, only Akio Nakamori keeps smashing his fists on cotton.

Heita's mother watched Chieko from the side and was shocked to realize that her mother-in-law's heart was strong.

What unites the entire Nakamori family is not the building that was built by the daughter who became a star with a loan of tens of millions of yen. It's Chieko's tenacious but gentle heart.

When Chieko refused to live in this new building and stayed in her hometown to recuperate alone, she was destined to be today.

......

On Friday, the whole of Tokyo seems to come alive at night. After eleven o'clock, Shinichi Iwahashi met Akihito Takeuchi at the small bar they had made an appointment.

I haven't seen it for a while, BANDMAN Shinichi Iwahashi has made a lot of money, and BANKMAN Akihito Takeuchi is still in high spirits.

"Amazing, Shen Yijun!"

Akihito Takeuchi had already had two rounds of drinks with his colleagues at the bank, and he didn't have to wait for a new drink to be drunk, and when he came over, he was already red.

When I first met, I was a waiter in a nightclub, and I didn't think he could be where I am today. The more he knew about Iwahashi Shinichi's details, the more Akihito Takeuchi looked at him.

"You're not thriving too. "Iwahashi Shinkazu.

Hearing him say this, Akihito Takeuchi smiled, "But compared to you, it's nothing." ”

This is said to make Iwahashi Shinichi difficult to pick up.

Akihito Takeuchi observed his reaction and was pleased, "I'm kidding." ”

Although it wasn't funny at all, Shinichi Iwahashi grinned in agreement, and this reaction made Akihito Takeuchi laugh, "Intentionally, right?"

"It's deliberate. Shinichi Iwahashi readily admitted.

The two of them drank two glasses happily. Akihito Takeuchi remembered something and told him, "The Bank of Japan is going to raise interest rates, Shen Yijun." ”

The Bank of Japan refers to the central bank of the Japanese government.

"Really?" Iwahashi pricked up his ears.

Akihito Takeuchi smiled and said, "It's amazing, how long has this been the first time I've raised interest rates? ”

However, he said "unbelievable", judging by his reaction, it has nothing to do with "unavoidable".

"It's not good news. "After all, this is an era when the bubble is so big that the sky is up, and there are real estate and stocks on top of the bubble.

When Iwahashi heard the word "interest rate hike" from Akihito Takeuchi's mouth, he had a wonderful feeling of "is it coming?!"

This kind of mentality is not to see the excitement, after all, he himself is in this era. No one in this era can really be unrelated to this bubble era.

If you really want to talk about it, it is the so-called "witnessing history" apprehension and a little excitement.

"That's what happened, but just a little bit of it, and you don't need to be nervous. Akihito Takeuchi said this, his tone paused, and he showed an expression that seemed to be about to say something gossip.

"In fact, the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance are fighting for power, and it is just a necessary means. ”

"Fighting for power?" Iwahashi was confused.

The Ministry of Finance is the main financial agency of the government.

Akihito Takeuchi explained in a few words, "In short, the president of the Bank of Japan is a bureaucrat of the Ministry of Finance, and the vice president is a descendant of the Bank of Japan. The international faction represented by the Ministry of Finance insists on implementing the current easing policy, while the vice president of the Bank of Japan faction wants to cool down the current economy and suppress inflation. ”

"After the Likulut incident, the Minister of Finance stepped down, and the current BOJ Governor fell backer, and the Bank's descendants were fighting with the Ministry of Finance to regain control of the BOJ. ”

"Sounds so mysterious. Iwahashi said.

Akihito Takeuchi smiled, "There are many ways to fight openly and secretly. But the "above" in his mouth only needs to move his little finger, and ordinary people can stand on the roof of the building and make dumplings.

"This time, eighty percent of the descendants of the Bank of Japan will win. Akihito Takeuchi guessed, "The vitality of the Ministry of Finance is greatly damaged, and it may be dormant for a while." ”

"That's going to cool the economy. "This is an admissible outcome.

Akihito Takeuchi nodded, "However, whether it is raising interest rates or cooling down, even if the vice president faction who advocates cooling down has great power, they can't do it in one go, and the Ministry of Finance can't really let them mess around." ”

He reiterated the old words, "Now the whole book is running a red light, Shen Yijun." Akihito Takeuchi didn't believe that after the Bank of Japan won the battle for power, he dared to step on the accelerator to the end and rush over, at most it was to correct it.

If he really stepped on the accelerator, the consequences would be unimaginable, even a little minion in his bank felt so.

The bubble will burst, something bad can happen, and someone with a little more sensitivity can smell such a crisis.

Among them, there are ordinary people who are forced to get involved in the bubble era, live hard in this era, and wait to bear the pain after the bubble bursts, and ordinary people who are ignorant and are involved, as if they have tasted the sweetness of gambling, and cannot extricate themselves from this gambling table that seems to never lose.

In addition, there are people who have not participated from the beginning to the end, but who have been forced to swallow the bitter fruit together, and who will not stop and cannot stop when they enter this era with great ambitions, and who will not and cannot stop when they get on a car that is moving at full speed.

It is said that there are 120 million people, and in the bubble era, it is 120 million lives.

"If I were Takeuchi-san, I would have disposed of the stocks and real estate I had first. Iwahashi said.

Akihito Takeuchi laughed at him, "That's very cautious." ”

"Because I don't have it at hand, I'm calm. "Iwahashi Shinichi told the truth.

There is no burden to dictate other people's affairs.

"No, don't you have a cigarette case?" Akihito Takeuchi teased him, "and exchanged it for twelve million yen." ”

Akihito Takeuchi jokingly called the half-sized piece of land a cigarette box.

"It's a loan. Iwahashi Shinichi corrected himself, remembering the strange phone call he had received earlier to buy his small piece of land.

After answering that phone call that day, I didn't receive any more messages. Tachikawa Real Estate, which was planning to develop that block, did not contact him.

That phone call, like a pebble thrown into a pond, almost makes people wonder if it was some kind of prank.

But thinking of the pretending polite and uncomfortable voice on the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't think it would be a prank.

"After all," Akihito Takeuchi said, "even if the interest rate is raised, that little bit is not to be feared." Even if there will be any impact, the interest rate hike will not be reflected so quickly. Maybe stocks and land will go up even more. While it's safe to be conservative, you're also missing out on a lot of opportunities. ...... ALSO, I WAS ABLE TO GET EARLY ACCESS TO BANKMAN THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE. ”

"I'm so envious, 'I can get into the grapevine in advance,' and I want to say that again. Shinichi Iwahashi deliberately made a joke.

Takeuchi Akihito laughed and said a little thief, "But you can reveal the gossip in the entertainment world in advance." ”

What was his plan when he said this, Iwahashi Shinichi probably understood, so he didn't say anything more, and brought the topic over as a joke.

Beat the drum and pass the flowers, not knowing whose hand the bomb will explode. But no matter what kind of person it is, they will not believe it, and they will persuade themselves not to believe it.

The bomb will not explode in its own hands, and the government will not throw away the fortunes of the country, and will not push the country and the people into hell.

I came out to drink in the middle of the night, and I listened to Akihito Takeuchi talking about a bunch of Japanese silver and the palace fight of the Ministry of Finance. While he was drinking, he digested a bunch of things, and for a moment remembered the building that Akina Nakamori had built for his family.

Earlier, Akina Nakamori told him about the building, and Shinichi Iwahashi encouraged her to discuss it with her mother.

Chieko Nakamori is not only the last thread between Akina Nakamori and the Nakamori family, but she can also communicate calmly with both sides at the same time.

Problems between family members should still be resolved internally.

On the contrary, it's an outsider like Shinichi Iwahashi, in this kind of problem involving the inside of the family, it's best not to show your head, so as not to be regarded as a villain who bewitches Akina Mori -

Akina didn't have that idea, it's all because this person is talking nonsense next to him!

In that case, it will be counterproductive, turning the already chaotic relationship into a pot of porridge. Akina Nakamori is another Taopu Star, and it's really going to make a big fuss, so I don't have to worry about the weekly magazine not going to that building to get materials.

......

Sunday arrived as scheduled.

For today's concert, Shinichi Iwahashi vacated the day's itinerary in advance, just waiting to bring the ticket of the related party and watch the performance in the best position as a related household.

Although the plan has changed slightly, he has to bring not only related tickets, but also nepotism.

The concert was held in the afternoon, and in the morning Shinichi Iwahashi didn't go anywhere, so he took advantage of the rest day to relax at home. After noon, when he was about to leave, he went to find the clothes that Akina Nakamori had chosen for him when he came last time.

After changing his clothes, he picked up the skirt again and gestured to the mirror for a long time, infinitely entangled.
