At dinner time, Mitsuki Kudo changed into an ordinary outfit that could no longer be ordinary, and was about to go out to eat alone, but was stopped by his younger brother.

She looked at her brother and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, tonight, I won't have dinner with you.

Or, do you want to dine at an izakaya with me? By the way, which is the liveliest and gossip izakaya here? ”

Shuichi Kudo didn't answer her question, but said bluntly: "Sister, are you really going out alone like this?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo asked incomprehensibly, "Is there any problem?" ”

Shuichi Kudo didn't joke and said, "It's too unsafe." Since the reorganization of the professional team related to Wakayama City Steel, the news has somehow been leaked.

So, people were stoned here, not once, twice. If you really want to get out, let the security personnel follow. ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't want to say this at all: "The security personnel are your intentional arrangement?" ”

Shuichi Kudo said truthfully: "It was arranged by the head of Oda. He personally transferred two elite squads from Karuizawa Security Company. It is said that they have all been on the battlefield and fought and killed. ”

Mitsuki Kudo still didn't change her original intention and said, "Don't let people follow me." You really can't worry about my safety, so come with me. ”

Kudo Shuichi could conclude that his sister would not be as simple as just eating, and asked suspiciously, "Sister, why do you have to go to the izakaya here?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't hide it from him and said, "I don't go to the izakaya here, how can I understand the actual situation in the local area?"

Nowadays, I would say that one of the most popular topics among the citizens is about the restructuring of steel in Wakayama City. This is directly and indirectly related to the interests of the majority of the local population. ”

Kudo Shuichi understood and said, "Sister, don't you believe too much in our work report!" ”

Mitsuki Kudo did not deny it: "Don't forget, I'm a journalist. The first element of journalism is the need to actually be exposed to first-hand sources. The importance of authenticity is based on who said?

Said there? Under what circumstances was it said? Wait a minute. If no one talks about this topic even in the liveliest izakaya, then you haven't done your job well.

The so-called work report you made is specifically designed to fool me. Do you think your sister and I are so easy to fool? This public opinion work is to carry out a necessary brainwashing for the locals.

Otherwise, many of them would not believe that the local businesses were zombie companies long ago. The restructuring led by the Karuizawa Group will also be mistaken for a low-cost acquisition by collusion between officials and businessmen.

We are supposed to do good, but we are also seen as bad people. The common people, the general public, generally lack the ability to think independently and individually, and the rabble of people follow the crowd. ”

Kudo Xiu nodded and said, "I'll accompany you to go on such a special journey." However, if you really encounter any danger, sister, you don't have to worry about me, run first. ”

Mitsuki Kudo laughed and said, "You still know to take care of me first." I didn't hurt you in vain. I'll make your wedding dress for you this time, and it's worth it. ”

Shuichi Kudo said seriously: "Sister, I'm not joking. Those steelworkers are not without radical ideas and extreme people.

Now, at this sensitive intersection, they have all kinds of worries, anxieties and so on about the uncertain future.

As you said, they generally lack the ability to think independently and personally, and it is inevitable that they will listen to some gossip biasedly.

It is not unheard of among them that the Karuizawa Group will greatly reduce the financial compensation for their regular employees. As for part-time workers, not a single yen will be given.

In the future, they will not be used in the new steel plant. In short, all kinds of gossip are endless, and I don't know where it first came from.

All this time, we have not only been investigating the source, but we have also entrusted the local police. Once found, the police will arrest the person. ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't rush out of the house, and said straight: "Tell me anything else you know." ”

Shuichi Kudo has told the truth: "I'm worried that this gossip is instigated by someone behind the scenes. As for the purpose, it is to muddy the waters and thus create obstacles to our work.

Or to increase the price in the negotiation process with us. One of my biggest suspicions is the president of the steel union.

I don't believe that there really are people in the world who don't have the slightest selfishness. The other party has not agreed, I am afraid that it is waiting for the price to sell. ”

Mitsuki Kudo did not deny the possibility of her brother's speculation and said, "This matter will be clear when I meet with the other party tomorrow morning." ”

Shuichi Kudo asked thoughtfully, "What if the other lion opens his mouth?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo smiled meaningfully and said, "Do you really think that your sister and I are HelloKitty?" Dad put such a big project in my hands, so I can't let him down.

If you don't succeed and fail, it means that you won't have a voice and a future in Wakayama City in the future.

Only by accomplishing this will Wakayama City truly become your political territory in the future. Your father-in-law-to-be has to look at your face too.

This local pillar industry is firmly controlled in the hands of its own people, so it will really exert influence on local elections and influence the local political situation. ”

Kudo Shuichi lowered his head and said, "Hey...... I'll be bound here for the rest of my life. ”

Mitsuki Kudo said earnestly, "You should change your way of thinking, and don't just think about returning to Tokyo." For a man, having money and a career is true. The rest, it's irrelevant.

As for where it will develop, it doesn't matter. Every year, there are more people coming to Tokyo from all over the world, and how many of them are able to truly break out of their own small world? Very few.

Most of them are not struggling to get three meals a day. What does the glittering lights of Tokyo have to do with these people?

There are so many Michelin-starred restaurants in Tokyo, how many have you consumed? In fact, many people in many places have never even consumed at home. ”

Shuichi Kudo concluded: "Sister, what you mean is that you want me to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail." ”

Mitsuki Kudo said categorically: "That's what it means. What's wrong with you staying away from Tokyo? ”

Kudo Shuichi smiled bitterly: "You say yes, that's good." ”
