"Cousin, put it all away, prepare your luggage, and we'll leave here tomorrow. Ahem! Zhu Tong refused the support of the two ninjas and jumped off the horse himself; After saying this, he coughed again.
"Huh?" Qu Sang Zhuomu looked at Zhu Tong hesitantly, what kind of famous hall is his little master playing? Can his current body withstand the bumps along the way?
Jingchi Xuemei just got off the horse, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Tong's hand after a moment: "Are you still angry?" It's my fault that I didn't make it clear to Mr. Smith ....... β
"Miss Yukimi Iike, you've made it clear that isn't Mr. Smith your lobbyist? I'm just a poor doctor, and it's too much to thank you for your care these days. I have my girlfriend in Shanghai, and she looks forward to my return sooner. Ahem! I am a Chinese medicine practitioner who believes that falling leaves return to their roots, that is, death, and I also hope to die in China, in the arms of my lover. Ahem! β
Blood continued to ooze from the corners of Zhu Tong's mouth, Qu Sang Zhuomu could see that it was not all blood he coughed up, but Ichi Yukimi couldn't see through his tricks; I don't know what Smith said, which made Mr. Li so angry.
"You...... Don't be angry with your body...... I'm going to call Mr. Smith and ask him to apologize to you. Would it be nice to have him apologize to you? No one will bother you with the hot springs in the future, I let ...... Syllable! β
Ichi Yukimi wiped the bloodshot from the corner of Zhu Tong's mouth, and as she spoke, she got up in annoyance, and the horsewhip hanging on her wrist whipped at a ninja: "You are all deaf, go and get him here, now!" Right away! Who showed Mr. Smith the way? β
"It's Nomura-sensei, I'm sorry, we'll go right away." The two ninjas quickly disappeared from view.
"Nomura-sensei......." Speaking of Nomura, Yukimi Iike was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Tong had already walked into the villa and began to pack his things: "These books are from the ranch library, I have finished reading them, and Doctor Bai will come in a while and ask him to take them back." β
Jingchi Xuemei has been following him, Zhu Tong put away one, she took out one out, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, don't be angry, okay." β
Zhu Tong couldn't help it, coughed slightly and went to the sofa, grabbed the phone and dialed Ye'er's phone: "Ye'er, do you miss me?" I made a lot of money in Japan this time, and I will ...... in the future Ahem! It's fine, just a little cold, I'll pay attention. What to eat at night? β¦β¦ Well, I'm going back to China soon, just for a few days. There's not much going on anyway, so there's no point in staying here...... β
When Mr. Li called to talk about love, it was forbidden for anyone to disturb him, and Ichi Yukimi looked at him blankly with tears in her eyes.
When the phone ended, there was a commotion outside, and Yukimi Iike ran out and argued fiercely with Smith in English; After a while, Smith walked in with Yukimi Iike with his head down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Xiang, it was my fault just now, please forgive me for being presumptuous." He was still speaking in English, and after Iike Yukimi finished translating, he added: "Mr. Smith is very direct, he has no bad intentions." β
"Why bother?" Zhu Tong said peacefully: "I really shouldn't have saved Miss Xuemei, and I shouldn't have stayed here without leaving." Mr. Smith is right, Miss Xuemei must keep her promise, and a person like me lives here, and thanks to Miss so much, she is a fool who is not self-conscious. Now it's just a shame, if you don't leave, you're really looking for death. β
"You...... To say so? Mr. Smith, is that your polite suggestion? It seems that Smith didn't tell the truth to Yukimi Ichi just now, and she was really angry when she heard Zhu Tong explain it like this.
"Smith. Mr. Watchenberg, we are only in a cooperative relationship, and neither you nor your team have the right to interfere in my private life. I paid for every suggestion you made, and I didn't pay for you to threaten my friends. If Mr. Smith thinks he can choose instead of me, I don't think there is any point in such a cooperation. Even in the spirit of humanitarianism, you should not be so cruel to a patient. β
"But ......, I mean?" Smith was about to argue, but Zhu Tong coughed and interrupted him: "Miss Xuemei, you are wrong to blame him, Mr. Smith will give me a large sum of money, he hopes that you can concentrate on your work." β
"Smith. Mr. Watchenberg, I invite you to come to the ranch for work, and it seems that you would be better suited to stay in Tokyo. At least there, you also know to be polite as it should be. Send Mr. Smith off the ranch so that he can stay in Kyutsu tonight, where the hot springs are more comfortable. β
Ichi Yukimi no longer listened to his explanation, and ordered the two waiters, Smith waved his hand and shrugged, looked at Zhu Tong deeply, and turned to follow them.
He was no longer interested in this doctor, and it seemed to him that he was a seemingly clever fool who would only hide behind women and play prestige, and it seemed that he really should not have come to him to talk that nonsense.
It is dangerous to go out of the ranch at night, and as soon as Smith walked to the driveway outside the ranch, he saw Hanami Nomura and a child crouching on the side of the road, quietly watching him.
"Come, it was my idea, Mr. Smith, what do you want?" Hanami Nomura is fluent in English.
"Who are you?" Although Smith was guided by him to find the hot springs, he did not remember the name of the seemingly thin old man due to his arrogant habits.
"You have forgotten that I am Nomura, and the children in the ranch call me Master. Actually, I'm just a gardener, and it's the most joyful thing to watch the seedlings grow and bloom beautifully. Mr. Smith, if anyone wants to ruin my nursery, whatever fish he is, I'll grill him to a golden steak. β
Nomura Hanami said slowly, and there was an extra cherry blossom in his hand at some point, which was the symbol of the Iike family, and there was such a pink cherry blossom inlaid on the top of the Iike Building in Tokyo.
"Tell me, what is your impression of Mr. Li? You're a big man, and you're more knowledgeable than us hillbillies. β
"Ah, Mr. Nomura is asking me?" Smith was measuring the identity of this old man, and when he heard this question, he sorted out his thoughts and said his judgment while summarizing, and in the face of this old man, Smith felt depressed.
"He should be a shameless adventurer, courageous and shrewd; Just like most Chinese. The only trouble is that Miss Yukimi seems to have become obsessed with him, I think, the problem is not very big, everyone has a young age, maybe in a few months, he will be called an unforgettable memory. β
"Really?" Nomura Hanami said with a slight mockery; "In that case, why did you kill him?"
Smith was dumbfounded, and suddenly realized that the old man in front of him turned out to be the legendary patron saint of the Ichi family. Someone once warned them: don't take the traditional amount of the Iike family lightly. It's a pity that crocodiles only believe in strength and calculation, and do not believe in history or tears.
"Mr. Nomura, you may not understand the true meaning of our cooperation with the Iike Foundation. The world is getting smaller and smaller, and the order of the financial society will face global adjustments, and if the Ichi family still sticks to the rules, sooner or later it will be swallowed up by the tide of the times. Miss Xuemei has a noble pedigree and a long-term vision, and she just saw that integration was inevitable and chose to work with us. Japan's economy has been recovering in recent years, and we also hope to have a strategic partner with sufficient weight here, which is a common requirement of the interests of both sides. Other than that....... β
"Anything else?" Nomura listened with interest, Smith said that his mouth was dry, and he was not impatient at all, and his patience was really good; When Smith finished speaking, he asked.
"That's about it."
"Since it's good for everyone, why does Miss Yukimi pay you such a large sum of money?" Nomura's words were pointed at Smith's soft underbelly, and just now he thought that this bad old man didn't understand his flowery theories.
"This is different, Nisloer Law Firm is an independent institution, I, as a partner, should be responsible for the firm, and the Ichi consortium should pay for its services."
"Oh. I heard that Mr. Smith will be the vice president of the Ichi consortium in a year, and it seems that he will still be able to get some shares, so I don't understand, since you can also get benefits, why are we paying for the expenses? β
"Because you need our help, the Matsui family and the Ikeda family have been in control of the consortium for too long, and Miss Yukimi has no experience, and without our help, she will not be able to protect her interests. Regarding the cost of this part, we are very discounted. Smith looked at him in disbelief, indeed, in order to make plans for Ichi Yukimi to regain control of the family, he only charged the basic fee for legal services, in order to obtain greater benefits in the future.
And the information about his shares in the Iike Foundation and his entry into the consortium is still a secret, and even Miss Iike Yukimi is not clear. That's the core part of the whole continuous plan, and it's for this reason that Smith has to rush to the ranch in a hurry, and he must be firmly controlled by Yukimi Ichi before he can make the next step.
"I see, sometimes you are a messenger of flowers, sometimes you are a flower seller, and now you want to be the gardener of this garden; Actually, Mr. Smith, you're a flower thief. Nomura stood up with the child's shoulders and clapped his hands: "The abacus is good, but don't forget, this flower garden has been in business for eight hundred years, if there were only owners and florists, would it have survived to this day?" Mr. Smith, don't be too greedy. You're a little crocodile, well, if I'm not mistaken, you could be a victim at any moment. Now, let's find a quiet place to talk about business. Don't think that kid is simple, maybe his boss is better than you. If you can do me a small favor, everyone will be good. β
Before Smith could shout, two black shadows suddenly appeared beside him, knocked him to the ground, carried him on his shoulders and left.
"Who made you not kill him last time? Since it fails, there is no chance. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, Miss's toys are to be cared for. Nomura sighed as he watched them disappear.
"Grandpa, how do you say Mr. Li is a toy?" The child asked puzzledly, his clear and innocent eyes full of curiosity.
"You'll understand in a few years. You just have to remember that the young lady is your master, and you have to protect whatever toys she likes. β
Nomura Hanami covered the child's eyes with his thin hands.
