Chapter 132: Food for thought
Naoto Yoshihara turned around when he heard this, but saw that it was a woman dressed quite elegantly. The facial features are very similar to Nishikujo Ruri except for the eyebrows, and the face shape is also the same, but the temperament is quite different.
Yoshihara Naoto took a look at it and felt that this lady and Nishikujo Ruri must be related by blood, but it's hard to say what the relationship is - this woman is very well maintained, her skin looks whiter than Nishikujo Ruri, only the corners of her eyes are slightly crow's feet, and her well-groomed slightly curly semi-long hair even looks very youthful, but her temperament is elegant and quiet, and she has a sense of precipitation over the years, and it seems that she can say that she is thirty, forty, or fifty.
Is this my sister or my mother? Naoto Yoshihara hesitated for a moment, and could only greet vaguely: "Hello!"
The lady also looked Naoto Yoshiwara up and down with surprise in her eyes, walked over with the scarf on her chest, and nodded to Naoto Yoshiwara with a kind smile, "Hello, this gentleman, I'm really causing you trouble!"
Naoto Yoshiwara raised his eyebrows, causing trouble? Why did you suddenly cause trouble?
The middle-aged woman then turned to Ruri Nishikujo and asked dotingly, "Ruri, don't you introduce me to a friend?"
Nishikujo Ruri was silent for a while, then stood up and said coldly, "It's just...... It's just an acquaintance, my mother. ”
"Acquaintances...... Mrs. Nishikujo's gaze wandered between Naoto Yoshihara, Ruri Nishikujo and the wine bowl and flask on the long table, and said with a smile: "Aren't acquaintances friends?"
She didn't wait for her daughter to introduce her, she directly stretched out her hand to Naoto Yoshiwara, and showed her identity with a smile: "I'm Mai Kona, Ruri's mother!"
Naoto Yoshihara glanced at Ruri Nishikujo, and saw her standing there motionless with her hands tied up expressionless, so he stretched out his hand and shook Mai Kona's hand gently, and said with a smile: "Contemptible Naoto Yoshihara, meet for the first time, please give me a lot of advice!" and then complimented, "If you don't say it, I can't believe that you are the mother of the Nishikujo Police Department, you really look too young......"
Mai Xinna's eyes were even more satisfied, and she took out a delicate business card from her small satchel and presented it with both hands, and said, "When we meet for the first time, please also take care of Yoshihara-kun." ”
Naoto Yoshihara hurriedly took out his business card to exchange. The handshake is a Western-style etiquette, and in the blink of an eye, it has become a business etiquette again - the two sides exchange business cards with both hands and admire each other's names for a long time.
Nishikujo's mother is weird, and even the etiquette has to be combined. He took the business card in his hand and took a quick look, only to see that the pattern was complex, bronzing and dyeing, and the paper was excellent.
Take a closer look at the text, Tokyo Hiromi Art Gallery Mai Kokona is really an artist!
Mai Konao also looked at Naoto Yoshihara's business card, pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "SPM investment, this name is a little familiar!, by the way, your subordinates have been quite active recently, and they have been in and out of various drinking parties, I have heard many people mention that it is a newly established investment company, and the business strategy is very interesting...... This is really, Yoshihara-kun should be quite busy now, I didn't expect to make a special trip to visit for the sake of the little girl, the weather is so cold, it's really embarrassing. ”
Nishikujo Ruri frowned, and interjected expressionlessly: "Mother-sama, Yoshihara-san and I just happened to meet, please don't misunderstand." ”
Naoto Yoshiwara also said repeatedly: "I was about to take a trip to Mt. Fuji, and I happened to live in this hotel, which was indeed a coincidence. ”
Mai Xinna smiled slightly and didn't say anything - it's really a coincidence, after her daughter was injured and suspended, she forcibly brought her here to relax, and it was not a holiday, a mountain opening day, a shrine celebration, and there was still half a year before the mountaineering season, and the man's subordinates in front of him were all over Tokyo to explore investment projects, agitate for financing, and made it clear that he was going to do a big job, but this man left the company aside and appeared here coldly...... It's really, really, really a coincidence!
The inside story is thought-provoking!
Besides, knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's mother, will she not know her daughter's character? At the age of twenty-eight, she refuses to fall in love, she doesn't have half a friend around her, and she has injured a suitor in the name of a sparring partner, how can she sit with a man who is not close to him and drink warm wine?
The inside story is indeed worth pondering!
Mai Xinna glanced at Naoto Yoshihara again, and found that he was tall and strong, and he was still a good match for his slender and tall daughter, standing together was quite beautiful, and his facial features were upright and more attractive, but his bald head was a little dazzling...... But you can't blame too much, there is nothing perfect in this world, and it is understandable that you are busy and bald in charge of the affairs of an investment company.
And the daughter is this age, it's good to be willing to deal with men, you can't pick and choose, even if she is bald, she raises her hands to support - whether it is a friend or a couple, unilateral intention, it is always ten thousand times stronger than a daughter who is lifeless, cold, and lonely all day long!
Her mind turned sharply, and she suddenly became enthusiastic again, raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said with a smile: "Even if it is not a special visit, but since I have met it, it is fate." It's almost lunchtime, and if Yoshihara-kun doesn't dislike it, please allow me to do a little bit of landlord friendship, I know that there is a great western restaurant near here, and the taste and environment are very good. ”
Naoto Yoshihara was shocked and asked, "Friendship of the landlords?" "Isn't this a hotel? This hotel is run by the Nishikujo family or Mai's family? Nana Hoshino casually booked a hotel on the Internet and fell into the net?"
Mai Shinna smiled and said, "Didn't Ruri tell you?'s father is from Shizuoka!"
I see, this is indeed Shizuoka Prefecture, but isn't this a bit far-fetched? Yoshiwara Naoto always felt that something was wrong, so he excused himself: "Auntie, you have a heart, but I still don't trouble you." ”
He sweated a little, beat his daughter into half a pig's head, and was misunderstood to come to visit, and he had to eat...... It's a shame!
"Yoshihara-kun is welcome, I happen to be a little curious about SPM investment, I heard that the business strategy is very interesting, and please tell me about the current investment form when the time comes...... It's not a confidential matter, is it?" Mai Shinna joked enthusiastically to keep it, but Nishikujo Ruri couldn't help it anymore, and interjected again: "Mother-sama, Yoshihara-san still has something to do, right?"
The last thing she asked was Naoto Yoshiwara, and Naoto Yoshiwara hurriedly cooperated: "There is indeed something to do, and I am really sorry for wasting a piece of my aunt's kindness." ”
Mai Shinna looked at Naoto Yoshihara and then at her daughter, and asked with a smile, "What's so urgent about that?" I still have some acquaintances in Kanto, do you need my help?"
Naoto Yoshihara was dumbfounded and looked at Nishikujo Ruri - he didn't have any, so he could only count on Nishikujo Ruri to quickly make up an excuse.
Nishikujo Ruri was also silent for a while, and said, "Mother, I'm a little tired, I want to go back to my room and rest for a while." ”
She didn't have a job either.
Mai Xinna glanced at her with a smile, and said, "Then Liuli, you go back first, I'll entertain Yoshihara-kun." After that, she stretched out her hand and led falsely, she had to get Naoto Yoshihara to eat together.
Naoto Yoshihara blinked a few times, not knowing what Mai Kokona's idea was. It's just that he doesn't want to get too stiff with Mai Xinna, and he listens to the fact that the old scalper Hu Bu Weaving is working very hard, and he is desperately looking for a project - just by looking at Nishikujo Ruri, you can know that the Mai family should be quite powerful - he doesn't want to be unable to help and pull the hind legs of Hu Bu Weaving, and he doesn't want to offend people for no reason, so he has no tricks for a while.
He took a closer look at Nishikujo Ruri, he was inconvenient to go against Mai Shinna's meaning, after all, he would have to mix in Tokyo for a long time in the future, but Nishikujo Ruri and Mai Shinna are mother and daughter, so they can make a fuss and break up the dinner.
Even if they turn their faces and turn their faces between them, they are still mother and daughter, and it doesn't matter at all. However, he was a little worried that Ruri Nishikujo had said who had swollen her face. If that really happened, he would probably have to run away with his head in his hands.
But he glanced at it several times, but saw that Nishikujo Ruri's face was stiff, and he actually held it there without saying a word.
He hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was nothing to eat, maybe he could help the company expand his contacts, so he asked Mai Xinna to walk in front, and said with a dry smile: "Then I will be ashamed, aunt, please first." ”
Mai Shinna smiled happily, left the brewhouse with Naoto Yoshiwara, and chatted: "That restaurant used to be a Michelin star level, and the chef liked Mt. Fuji very much so that he stayed here, and the cooking skills are excellent, Yoshihara-kun will definitely like it." ”
"Then I'll taste it. "Naoto Yoshihara is used to dealing with things, and he can also put down his body, and when he sees that things are inevitable at this time, he pretends to be a junior and wants to mix up a good fate - he doesn't need to give it to Hoshino Nana, many friends and multiple roads, there is no harm, everywhere in this world is a human society.
They talked and laughed and walked outside, and just turned a wooden corridor, Nishikujo Ruri quickly chased after him, gently tugging at the hem of Aso's clothes and signaling her to stop, and Naoto Yoshiwara walked a few steps quickly and watched from a distance.
Nishikujo Ruri said seriously: "Mother, I've already come here with you, what else do you want? Please don't interfere in my business anymore!" After a pause, she said with some cold air, "I don't have much to do with him, I won't like that man!"
Mai Xinna smiled: "I think Yoshihara-kun is very good, and his career is a little successful, I want to know about him, what's wrong, Ruri, is there any problem?"
Mai Xinna put on a look of wanting to meet a promising junior, and held Ruri Nishikujo speechless - not forcing her to go on a blind date, and she didn't even mean to make it right between the words, what could she say?
Nishikujo Ruri choked for a long time before saying, "I'll go with you!"
Mai Shinna smiled with relief: "That's great, Ruri!"
