"Father!" Ichiro Adami hurriedly walked into Adami Xuan's office, and before he had time to knock on the door, he broke in directly.

"What are you doing, panic!" Zhixuan, who was busy processing the documents, raised his head and scolded his son unhappily, and then asked, "What happened, so that you didn't even care about basic etiquette!" ”

"I'm sorry, father!" Although Ichiro Shida looked anxious, he immediately stood in place and bowed to apologize to Keshi Gen.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on?" Determined Zhixuan put down the pen in his hand, looked at his son, and picked up the teacup on the table.

"Father!" Ichiro Hita stepped forward, handed a black and gold invitation to his desk, and said in a deep voice: "Father, Mr. Kazuyuki Katayama, Consul General of Los Angeles, invite my father and Genro Oda to go to the Ueno restaurant in the city center once tomorrow night to taste the freshly marketed tuna. ”

"Kazuyuki Katayama?" Determined Xuan frowned, Kazuyuki Katayama is an old consul of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has held important positions in Britain and France, and it is said that he is likely to be transferred to the post of Japanese ambassador to the United Nations next year, which is a position that is not inferior to that of the foreign minister. The invitation of such a powerful and powerful figure is not something that can be rejected casually.

"Hongmen Banquet!" Determined Zhixuan shook his head slightly, it turned out to be like this, no wonder Oda Kiri Toshiro has not made any moves since he arrived in Los Angeles, it turned out that he planned to use Katayama Kazuyuki's influence to set up a Hongmen banquet for him, but this is okay, take this opportunity to end all this trouble.

Raising his head, Zhixuan looked at his eldest son, and said in a deep voice: "Ichiro, you can call back to the Consulate General now, thank the Consul General for the invitation, and say that I will attend the dinner on time." ”

"Yes, Father!" Ichiro nodded in response, but instead of immediately turning away, he remained where he was, waiting, knowing that his father must have other orders.

Zhixuan knocked lightly on the table, sighed, and said, "Tell Qingzheng to take back all unnecessary manpower, and all this may have a result tomorrow night." ”

Ichiro Shida took a deep breath, raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, father!" ”

After saying that, Genichiro Determined did not linger, and after bowing slightly, he turned around and left, the decisive battle was coming, and he had a lot of things to do.

Determined Zhixuan turned to look at the night sky outside, and the sound of "boom boom" came from the armrest he kept tapping, and his gaze gradually became far-reaching.

Located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, Ueno is a small restaurant with a unique décor that blends modern style with Japanese style and a unique flavor, and is frequented by Los Angeles' upper-class politicians and wealthy people, and reservations are usually made after a week.

Of course, as the consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Los Angeles, Kazuyuki Katayama is not among the ordinary people, he wants to come here, he has a seat at any time, and if necessary, he can empty the entire Ueno restaurant.

For example, tonight, there was not a single customer in the entire Ueno restaurant except for the owner Toshizawa Ueno, not even a single waiter, and everything from ingredients to knife skills was done by him alone.

Kazuyuki Katayama seems to have a mild-mannered personality, not tall, with a big head, bald, and an indigo plaid suit that makes him look very energetic, and he looks like he is only in his forties. But in fact, as a veteran diplomat, Kazuyuki Katayama is in his fifties this year.

The light that flashed in his eyes from time to time indicated that he was not a simple person, and it was indeed so.

Kazuyuki Katayama, who was born in an aristocratic family, has a lot of ties to the royal family, and it is even rumored that he still has the blood of the royal family on his body. Over the years, his steps in the political arena have always been very steady, and he is not in a hurry to move to the upper echelons, but to expand his influence with a little bit of pragmatic foundation.

In Japanese politics, it is generally difficult for the prime minister and cabinet to serve more than one term in recent years, and it is often a change of term after one or two years, so it is not a good thing to rush to power.

Although he does not have the title of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kazuyuki Katayama's status in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not inferior to that of Foreign Minister in any way, but he rarely serves in the homeland, so not many outsiders know about it.

In fact, with Kazuyuki Katayama's qualifications, there is no problem in serving as Japan's ambassador to the United States, but he is not willing to be a submissive echo worm in Washington, so he simply went to Los Angeles to serve as consul general, and waited for the Japanese ambassador to the United Nations to leave office next year, and then went to New York to take over.

At the United Nations, Japan has a much larger voice and more influence than in the United States.

This is also why Kazuyuki Katayama set up an invitation to the banquet, and Zhixuan couldn't refuse, as a Japanese, he still wants to develop in Los Angeles, and it is indispensable to have a good relationship with the Consulate General, so he must give this face.

Keshigen arrived at the Ueno restaurant half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, but Kazuyuki Katayama had already arrived one step earlier, and as for Toshiro Oda Kiri, perhaps he was not very accustomed to the social contacts of the Americans, and according to the information that Keshigen received, he should still be at the station of the Peace Association.

Of course, in order to prevent Oda Kiritoshiro from secretly doing anything, Yeti Gen sent people to keep an eye on the Hands and Houses Manor, and at the same time concentrated all his subordinates in the Dash Building.

After the last time the Mansion was bombed, Determined Xuan took the opportunity to make some changes and added a lot of new mechanisms, and it was not easy to capture it, unless they were willing to make a big move. Of course, in this way, it will attract the attention of the official, especially if Zhixuan has prepared too many back-ups.

Tonight, Zhixuan came alone, and he didn't bring anyone except a driver.

"Xin Xuanjun!" After Kazuyuki Katayama heard his assistant say this, he slightly thanked Xuan. This is a respect for him, Kazuyuki Katayama is very grateful, today's private banquet is actually not his intention, if it wasn't for too much pressure from the local side, he would not have been involved in these things.

"Please!" Kazuchi Katayama asked Gen in and said in a deep voice, "It's my people inside and outside the Ueno restaurant today, so don't worry, Shin Gen-kun, as long as I'm here for a moment, no one will dare to disadvantage you." ”

"Then thank you Katayama-kun!" Zhixuan stopped and bowed seriously to Kazuyuki Katayama, and it was not in vain that he asked James to make that call to Kazuyuki Katayama last night, although he didn't touch the substantive content, but it was enough to stop at the point.

"You're welcome!" Kazuyuki Katayama smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Zhixuan up, and asked casually while letting him sit down in front of the bar: "Xinxuanjun, next year's election, will Mayor James grasp it?" ”

"It's hard to say!" Zhixuan sighed softly, and mentioned what he had learned a little: "Their party fully supports him, but in this case, the current president has a great advantage, and you also know that in the past twenty years, no president has ever lost the re-election campaign, so unless there is any major problem with President Evans, the chances for others are not great." ”

"Hmm!" Kazuyuki Katayama nodded lightly, President Evans has made a lot of achievements in the past four years in office, of course, there are many problems, which gives others a chance.

Los Angeles Mayor James is not young, he only has two chances to run for president at most, and this time, although his chances are not great, he has to rush up, maybe he succeeds!

Just as Kazuyuki Katayama and Gen Tsushigen were chatting, Toshiro Oda Kiritoshiro arrived.
