Shunji Kawano was driving a car and was about to go home when he found a phone access.

He looked at the name "Saionji Akino" and fell silent.

After three days, he thought that the other party would not contact him again, but he didn't expect to call again?

After hesitating for a while, Toshiji Kawano chose to connect.

"Moximoxi, is that Mr. Shunji?"

"It's me, Mr. Akino, I'm really sorry that I haven't responded to your messages all this time..."

Saionji Akino listened to Kawano Shunji's sincere explanation, and after three minutes, he smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Shunji, it's just like I've been quite busy these days." ”

"There may be some details that I can't understand on the phone, Mr. Shunji, can you come to the Rainbow Bridge?"

"Now?"

At this time, it was already dusk, and the windows of the surrounding buildings reflected a faint sunset, and pedestrians, roads, street lamps, everything seemed to be plated with a layer of light, and this layer of light was slowly shrinking.

It's getting dark.

"Well, of course, if Mr. Shunji is not available, we can make an appointment another day."

"No, no, no, of course I'll go over now." Toshiji Kawano adjusted his course and prepared to make a U-turn ahead.

——

When Toshiharu Kawano arrives at the Rainbow Bridge, dusk turns into night. He came from the courthouse to Shinagawa Ward, which was indeed quite far, and there was a traffic jam on the road for a while, so it took a total of an hour to arrive smoothly.

After parking the car, Shunji Kawano immediately tightened his suit and ran briskly towards the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge.

And just as he was about to enter the entrance, he saw a teenager standing quietly by the vending machine.

Saionji Akino saw Kawano Shunji, waved his hand, and signaled his direction: "Mr. Shunji, I'm here for a treat today, what do you want to drink?" ”

"It's evening, it's not good to drink coffee, red bean soup is fine, thank you." Shunji Kawano said what Akino said last time in Saionji, and basically didn't say a word.

Saionji Akino couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay." ”

…

After taking a sip of the sweet red bean soup, Shunji Kawano suddenly felt very relaxed, and at this time, Saionji Akino did not speak, and the two big men watched the night view of the city silently.

Look at the intertwined lights and shadows reflected in Tokyo Bay, and watch the party on the huge ship.

Saionji Akino couldn't help but ask curiously: "How much does it cost to rent that kind of boat for a night?" ”

"This... Sorry, I'm not very clear either. "If Toshiharu Kawano is facing other customers, he will have to make up nonsense at this time to show his professionalism, but for Saionji Akino, he wants to be as real as possible.

Saionji Akino didn't care, and began to get to the point with a smile.

"Mr. Shunji, I came to you today, I have a commission that I want to hand over to you, this is my friend's case..."As soon as Saionji Akino spoke, Kawano Shunji interrupted him, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Akino, I may have not made it clear on the phone just now, my current situation is very bad, and my reputation in the lawyer industry can also be said to be gone, if I am asked to be in charge of your commission, it is likely to have a negative impact on you..."

"Hmm... But Mr. Shunji, you are the lawyer with the best business skills I know, and I don't know who to turn to if I don't look for you. ”

"And, as it stands, I can only look for you." Saionji Akino honestly told Kawano Shunji that he went to other law firms to look for a lawyer during this time, but was all rejected.

But to Kawano's ears, these are just some excuses for Saionji Akino to accept the case for himself, or... White lies.

However, this also made Toshiji Kawano feel even more guilty and moved when he heard it.

"Give me this commission... Is it really okay? Toshiharu Kawano was still a little hesitant.

"Of course, and Mr. Shunji, you need a commission now, too, aren't you?"

"I also heard about you from lawyer Kawashima."

"So..."

Shunji Kawano immediately said: "Mr. Akino, the fee for the commission you asked me to take must not be adjusted arbitrarily... It's not in order. ”

"It's not a commission fee, it's... Mr. Shunji, can you tell me how much you need in total now? ”

Toshiji Kawano looked at the other party's clear, unadulterated eyes, and while feeling ashamed, he also felt that he couldn't make eye contact with him at all.

That kind of trust and sincere emotion, for the first time in so many years, he felt it from someone other than his family.

"Fifty million yen." After saying this number, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, and at the same time, he felt that his face as an adult was really lost.

"Fifty million yen... Mr. Shunji, I have a proposal. ”

"You say."

"What do you think of the price of 50 million yen for hiring you as my lifelong legal advisor?"

"Advisor for life?" At first glance, Shunji Kawano felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

But he soon realized that this was not reasonable at all, and his consulting fees for other large companies were only millions of yen at most, where could he have so much?

Moreover, in the current situation, find a suitable reason for yourself to send money, that is, it is really a charcoal in the snow, and the key is not money at all, but in this great favor.

"Mr. Akino... This... This..."Shunji Kawano was a little incoherent, he didn't know how to respond to Saionji Akino.

This kind of kindness really takes a lifetime to repay.

Shunji Kawano is determined to do so, but...

"Mr. Shunji, please don't refuse, I still have a long time ahead of me, and there are still many things that need to trouble you, if you can't continue to be a lawyer because of these things, I should be bothered."

"As I said before, Mr. Shunji, you are the only adult I can trust at the moment, and I hope that our cooperation can really last for a long time, which is my sincerity."

Shunji Kawano took a deep look at Saionji Akino and then bowed to him.

"Thank you."

——

After sending Saionji Akino home, neither of them was in a hurry to sign any contracts.

Toshiharu Kawano took over the power of attorney and began to seriously investigate the case he was responsible for this time.

Workplace harassment dispute between a cartoonist and a cartoonist's assistant...

This kind of person must be a habitual offender, and he must have persecuted other women before...

Follow this line to find someone...

I'm going to have to be busy again tomorrow.

Shunji Kawano didn't go home as soon as possible, but stayed outside in his car, looked through the power of attorney repeatedly for a long time, and then began to organize his thoughts on the spot, entering the next itinerary on his mobile phone.

Now, completing the task given to him by Saionji Akino is the first priority.

The 50 million yen debt collection will not come down so quickly.

…

Today, Kawano Natsuryo no longer needs to be observed and recuperated in the hospital, she actually has no serious injuries, that is, flesh wounds, but in order to replace the best and most expensive ointment, she has only been in the hospital for a few days.

Now that the wound on her leg has scabbed, she expects to recover completely in two or three days, and will be able to go to school by Friday at the latest.

After returning home, Shunji Kawano rarely asked his wife to take out the aged sake brew and sit at the table and drink several glasses alone.

Natsu Kawano smelled the smell of his wine, and couldn't help frowning and complaining: "I'll drink as soon as I come back... It's really..."

"Your dad is also under a lot of pressure at work." Naina Kawano said helplessly, "Xia Liang, you also have to learn to think more about things for your parents." ”

"Got it." Kawano Natsuryo walked upstairs disapprerovingly, during this time she was still very comfortable in the hospital, she had no distractions, she could do whatever she wanted, and her mother took care of her.

This time she must have delayed until the latest, and waited until all the wounds were healed before going to school.

The legs are the part of her that she is very confident in, and she will feel ashamed if she passes with a scab.

Shunji Kawano drank until eleven o'clock in the evening, then got up and took off his suit, and hugged his wife with the smell of alcohol.

Naina Kawano's face flushed, and she thought he was going to do that, so she sat up skillfully.

But Shunji Kawano didn't have any desires, he just started babbling about the conversation he had with Saionji Akino today, and how many guides he had met along the way over the years, but this young boy treated him the most sincerely.

He also said that if he didn't have him this time, what would be their situation, they might have to sell their real estate, sell their cars, and because their reputation as a lawyer was damaged, it might be difficult to receive special lucrative commissions in the future.

You can only refuse to come, lower the threshold...

In short, life will not be easy in the future.

But this time.

No, it should be said that it is the second time.

Saionji Akino saves their family for the second time, allowing them to regain their life without experiencing a moment of pain.

Toshiharu Kawano's gratitude to Saionji Akino is like a gushing stream of water after the sake rises.

And Naina Kawano listened, gently stroking her husband's back while muttering the name of Saionji Akino.

"I always feel that this name, where have I heard it before..."

"I've been telling you about Mr. Akino every day all this time... Of course you've heard that..."

"No, no, no..."Naina Kawano got up and picked up the TV remote control and found the recording.

(Japanese TV can be recorded, and late-night anime is all based on video, and then watch it the next day)

"There it is! This is the documentary! ”

Toshiji Kawano's alcohol consumption is still good, he was just slightly drunk just now, and he just used the wine to say something that he wouldn't normally say.

The couple stared at the TV for a long time, and soon saw the appearance of the young man with a blue nose and swollen face and a little embarrassed.

"Saionji Akino..."

"It's actually from the same school as Xia Liang?!" It can only be said that the couple and nobles have forgotten a lot, after all, they usually watch a lot of TV, and when they watched this documentary, they paid attention to their daughter's lens the whole time.

For what Akino, Xiyuan Temple or something, it is natural that the brain empties the memory and ignores it.

Looking at it, the couple suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, this documentary also mentions that Mr. Akino wrote a love letter to Xia Liang..."

"Young Mu Ai, whether the love of youth can blossom and bear fruit, let's wait and see..."Listening to the narration of the TV, Kawano and his wife glanced at each other.

"No wonder this Mr. Akino would help us for free like this."

"So it's for our daughter?"

“… Not necessarily, at least he never mentioned it when he met me..."Shunji Kawano questioned.

"Men have good faces, and teenagers are even more so, there are some things that must not be said... But... If it's Mr. Akino who can be with Natsuryo ... That's a beautiful thing. Naina Kawano smiled gently.

"I don't think Xia Liang is worthy of Mr. Akino at all." Shunji Kawano thinks of his daughter's various performances, and he is like a spoiled demon king of the world, and he doesn't know how to correct her now.

"What do you say about your own daughter..."

"Hmm... In that case, when everyone has free time after a while, let's invite Mr. Akino to come to our house for a meal? ”

"I'll treat him well."

Shunji Kawano nodded, "Then you must make your best dish at that time." ”

"Don't worry, husband."
