Chapter 240: When the Water Stops and the Wind Rises
"Reiko, have you decided on the candidates for the wedding over there? Masako Nanda asked casually as she sorted out her papers.
This is where the two of them work. It was originally a small beauty shop, but now it has grown to a comprehensive large-scale beauty club with 121 beds, 43 independent rooms, including massages, medicated baths, deep skin care and health care.
Now the name of this beauty salon has been changed three times, and the most recent name change was in the first half of this year, when Yanagi Yuan and the three nine heavenly tribulations, by the way, let relatives and friends prolong their lives.
Now, the name of this beauty club that embodies the efforts of two housewives is - Youth Forever Private Beauty Club.
"The invitations are all written, and when the final date is finalized, they will be sent out a month in advance. β
"Haha, did you write the invitations yourself? That's a big project!" said Masako Nanda with deep feelings.
No one asks about the poor in the city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. At the time when the Yagyu family was not yet developed, there were not many friends except for some business partners in Yagyu and the island, but now, the fast-growing Yagyu family even has a hint of the rudiments of a wealthy family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that friends are spread all over Tokyo.
Among them, there are many important friends who must take the initiative to present invitations.
In Japan, in order to show respect for guests, invitations for important occasions must be written by the host himself to be considered etiquette, and even some of them have to write invitations with a brush.
Masako Nanda's hand writing invitations is about to break.
(Mainly her husband Yanagi and Shima and Nanda Masako are responsible for writing, the eldest son Yanagi Yuanhe seems to be busy with very important things all day long, and the younger son is obsessed with martial arts, so don't say anything, let him write an invitation is not enough to disgrace the people of the Yanagi family)
"Ha, my family doesn't have your family and the island and Yuanhe, there are so many friends to invite, and the invitations from my side add up to seventy or eighty. Qing Shui Ling said with a smile as she locked the sorted files into the safe.
"Reiko, I didn't expect it, it's only been more than four years, and the Yanagi family has so many friends. β
"I really envy you, I married a good husband and gave birth to two good sons. β
"Reiko, I still envy that you gave birth to a daughter! Look at my two sons, the eldest one can't see anyone all day, and the younger one is bent on learning from his brother and wants to be a sword master, and now his grades are miserable, and he is in the bottom three of his class all year round. β
"Ahh β
"Yes, the scene of their engagement seems to be still close in front of us, Sakura, a little girl who was so young at the time, actually had the courage to hold on to Yuanhe, even the teacher can resist, but she is really a powerful little girl, were you like this when you were a child? β
"When I was a child, I was a gentle, beautiful and generous lady, and there were long queues of suitors that I couldn't count. β
"Hahaha, I just like Reiko's braggadocio energy, which is exactly the same as Sakura. β
Two women who look young and beautiful, but are actually about the age of menopause, chatter and chatter, while sorting out documents with their hands and feet.
Masako Minamida has her own accounting certificate, and she has always done the weekly review of the club's finances.
In Japan, it is not easy for a woman who becomes a housewife to have her own business.
Whether it is Masako Minamida or Rei Shimizu, they all attach great importance to this career, and at least one person will stay here every day. And on weekends, the two will inevitably check the week's business and customer feedback together.
The circle of friends between the two also relied on the beauty club to establish friendship with the ladies who came to do beauty, and slowly expanded.
The reason why Shimizu Ling doesn't care about her husband Kobayashi Xiongguang's middle-aged career crisis is precisely because of this confidence.

"I don't care how to do this at all, but within three days, you have to find out where the information of the Youth Permanent Club is kept. β
Tokyo, Japan, Samhan Business Club.
It has been two days since Choi Yong-won arrived in Tokyo, but the preparation for the relevant pre-investigation is not satisfactory.
Of course, this is also because of the limited manpower and means he can use, and it has something to do with it.
First of all, the identity of that Masako Minamida is not so simple, even in an international metropolis like Tokyo, that Masako Minamida can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, especially in the upper-class female society, and it can even be said to be quite influential.
In addition, the husband of Masako Minamida is a well-known rising star in the Japanese business world, Yagyu Kazushima, a young businessman who has twice appeared in Japan's famous business magazine - and the national business magazine, although it is far from being comparable to the power of the Cui family, but it is not a small person who can be handled casually.
In the end, Masako Minamida actually has a son who is known as the first person in Japanese kendo. Maybe the main mother Li Yuanzhu doesn't know what a sword master represents, but as Cui Yongyuan, who walks between black and white, he never dares to underestimate the influence of the sword master in Japan.
The mistress really has a problem for herself!
The identity of the other party is so sensitive, if you don't want to make the city full of storms, you don't need to consider this method of kidnapping people and directly asking for the secret recipe.
There aren't many options left, but luckily, the goal is just a recipe.
As long as you can get to the location where the secret recipe is kept, it is not a very difficult task to sneak in and shoot the contents of the secret recipe with a miniature camera, and it is even more difficult to figure out where the secret recipe is kept;
If the secret recipe is kept in a computer, it is even simpler, and the specialized cracking software can quickly crack the vast majority of encrypted files on the market, and maybe a hacker can solve the problem.
Choi Yong-won specializes in special operations planning, and he was originally a retired member of Goguryeo's most elite special forces, the Taiji Tigers.
However, to become a member of the Taiji Tiger, Cui Yongyuan does not rely on fighting and killing.
On the contrary, Cui Yongyuan was able to be favored by the Cui family after retiring and became a core member of the Cui family's private security, because he was originally mainly responsible for the task planning of the Taiji Tiger, and he used his brains more than his fists.
In Choi Yongwon's opinion, these business intelligence personnel stationed in Tokyo by the Samhan consortium are too wasteful, and they can't even do this request, and I really don't know how they got into the intelligence industry.

Suburban estate, rooftop garden.
Today it is very lively, dozens of young men and women dressed in strange costumes, laughing and laughing in the garden.
"Wow wow, Sakura, your house is so beautiful, I'm so envious!" Mingshan Jiahua looked like she was about to drool, and the whole person lay on the railing on the edge of the roof, looking at the swimming pool on the side of the lawn with envy.
"Woo woo, such a big lawn, an outdoor playground, a running track, and a swimming pool! Sakura-chan, I know why you're not going to college, if I had such a home, I'd buy a bunch of figurines, comics, and games, and never go out all day!"
"By the way, Sakura, why don't you see your family Motowa?" Amineyama Kaka felt that she needed to express her gratitude to her best friend's husband, after all, without the help of Yanagi Motowa, it would not have been possible to organize cosplay this time to achieve such great success, which can add ability points to college applications.
"Yuan and he are in the laboratory downstairs, don't disturb him, he will be angry if the test process is interrupted. "Kobayashi Sakura was wearing a royal blue, red flag-style martial arts uniform, combing two ponytails, and two cloisonnΓ© bracers on her wrists, looking youthful and lively.
"You're afraid that others will disturb him, right? Hehe, I don't know you yet, you've been staring at Yuan He since junior high school, I think you want to hide Jiao in the golden house!"
"Ahhh
"Woo wooββ, someone is going to kill someone-".
Everyone laughed for a while, and Sakura Kobayashi let go of Mingshan Jiahua and said, "Jiahua, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
"Alas, I have to find a job that can support myself first, accumulate some social experience, and think about the rest later, Sakura-chan, I really envy you for not having to think about personal financial problems at all. Speaking of this heavy topic, Mingshan Jiahua's tone also became heavy.
Inheriting the family business or something, she has two older brothers above her, and it will definitely not be her turn.
Economic pressure is a very realistic thing, as an eighteen-year-old flower season girl, although Mingshan Jiahua is still in the ivory tower, has gradually felt the pressure from society.
As for entrepreneurship, Mingshan Jiahua hasn't thought about it yet, what is worth pursuing a lifelong career, but no matter what you want to do, you must first accumulate a little social experience.
"So Jiahua, why don't you come and help me after you graduate. β
"What help? Is your Yanagi-kun looking for a wife?"
Japan's fate wife is the third child on the bright side.
"You little perverted girl, if you dare to beat my family Yuanhe's idea, I will strangle you!"
As she spoke, Xiao Lin Ying gestured with both hands, held Mingshan Jiahua's neck, and glared at her fiercely: "I'm a master-level martial artist, it's easier to strangle your little girl's skin than to pinch a chicken." β
"Don't dare, don't dare, okay, okay, dare to ask the future boss, what are you going to call the little one for?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, I plan to open a clinic first, but it has nothing to do with you, when you graduate, we will set up an investment company, anyway, it is a waste of money in the bank, you always have to find an investment direction."
You are my first direct subordinate, hum, I will be the president, you will be my secretary, the so-called 'secretary has something to do, nothing to do the secretary', you are this kind of secretary!"
Sakura Kobayashi triumphantly said the job responsibilities she planned to arrange for her girlfriend, and she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it.
"ββββ,May I ask the president, how much are you going to invest?" The two of them have made dirty jokes since they were young. Mingshan Jiahua's attention is no longer on this at all.
"Let's invest 500 million yen in the first phase, and it's okay to lose money. Sakura Kobayashi said lightly that 500 million yen is really not in her eyes now.
"Big sister Sakura, the little one is mixed up with you!" "Mingshan Jiahua agreed very decisively. When she was a child, she always followed this eldest sister, and now there is no pressure at all to hug her thighs.
"But can I advance some of my salary as pocket money?"
"No, yes!" Sakura Kobayashi refused.
ββ,For example, tomorrow I can accompany President Kobayashi to go shopping, taste ice cream, watch a movie, or something. By the way, the big movie "Tai Chi Soul" will be officially released tomorrow, let's go and see it. β
"Uh, no, Nantian's mother asked me to help her sort out the materials tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow! Sakura Kobayashi hesitated, but still refused the temptation to go to the movies with her best friends.
When Sakura Kobayashi told Yagyu and the island couple that she wanted to do something business, Masako Nanda asked her to go to the beauty club often to help, mainly to help Masako Nanda sort out some information and count some data.
Masako Minamida's purpose is to give Sakura Kobayashi some ideas about real management, especially financial management, and prepare her for building her own business.

"Cui Yongyuan, how long are you going to delay such a thing?" The angry scolding of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of Goguryeo came from the encrypted channel.
Just by hearing this voice, Cui Yongyuan could imagine what this housewife looked like now - she must have one hand with five fingers spread in her hair, talking on the phone, and turning around angrily in the room.
"I'm sorry, my mother, Masako Minamida is not a simple person, I am doing further investigation, in addition, it is also difficult to find local experts to do this through channels, the latent power of the Yanagi family is much stronger than originally estimated. β
"Bastard, it's the queen mother's birthday next week, if not, you can do it yourself, and make sure to get the secret recipe as quickly as possible." β
"But it's going to have a bad effectβ"
"My mood is the worst influence! Remember, you are not a member of the Cui family now, but directly obey me, and realizing my will is what you need to consider. Now I order you, no matter what method you use, to get the secret recipe quickly!"
"βYes!"
Cui Yongyuan reluctantly put down the phone.
The identity of Her Royal Highness the princess is not a simple daughter-in-law of the Cui family.
Goguryeo has had a tradition of fighting against royal power since ancient times, but in modern times, the dictatorship of royal power is clearly out of step with the times.
Instead, there was cooperation and competition between the chaebols of large corporations and a consortium with royal backgrounds, and the Samhan Foundation was originally the property of the Choi clan, a Goguryeo clan, and Her Royal Highness the Three Princesses were the link between the royal family and the Choi clan.
Cui Shupu, the head of the Cui family, once promised himself to this eldest daughter-in-law as a dead soldier in person, that is to say, according to the tradition of Goguryeo, this Royal Highness the Third Princess is the one who will swear allegiance to the death.
Even if her order is unreasonable, even if she wants to send herself to death, she has no choice.
However, since the master has clear instructions, there is no need to think about the consequences to complete the task as the highest priority.
With his abilities, dealing with a beauty club without high-level security is not a problem at all.
