The next day, as soon as she got to work in the morning, Chieko came to the manager's office and reported her work to Oshima Yoshikura. Chieko recounted the exchange with Takeda Kaede, of course, only the part that needed to be told. Finally, she expressed her judgment:
"Manager, based on Takeda-kun's performance in various aspects, his subordinates believe that it is very likely that he is a direct descendant of the Takeda family. Moreover, he also revealed that on the day of the transaction, the main person in charge was not him, but a more important figure in the Takeda family.
.”
Oshima Yoshikura basically agrees with Chieko's judgment. He knows that the social hierarchy in Japan is very strict, and it is not easy for ordinary people to pretend to be children of aristocrats. This can be done through conversation, knowledge, hobbies, and education.
Make basic judgments.
After thinking carefully for a while, Oshima Yoshikura said: "Since he is an important figure in the Takeda family, we cannot neglect him. When do you want him to come over today? I am a little impatient to see this person who can make Chieko favor him.
You are so kind Takeda-kun."
After saying that, he looked meaningfully at Chieko's beautiful, rosy and smooth face, and secretly said, "Looking at Chieko's radiant expression, she might have crawled into that person's bed last night, right? She really knows how to seize opportunities.
It seems that this beautiful woman will never be with me in the future. But even if you, Takeda, are a noble child, you still have to drink the leftover soup that you have eaten, hehe! It is really comfortable to think about it!"
Chieko blushed at Oshima Yoshikura's obscene look, and had to hold back the disgust and displeasure in her heart and said quickly: "Hi, he will come to visit the manager at 2 o'clock this afternoon." After saying that, he bowed and left.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Oshima Yoshikura, the manager of Japan Einkin Bank in Tianjin, finally met Takeda Kaede who came to negotiate. This time it was a formal negotiation, so the meeting place between Oshima Yoshikura and Takeda Kaede was in a room on the second floor of the bank.
Reception room. After the two met, they started to greet and chat for a while.
Oshima Yoshikura happened to have gone to college in Kyoto, and the two naturally chatted about the life and scenery of Kyoto. Takeda Kaede's conversation was humorous without losing the restraint of an aristocratic child. Every time he mentioned the beautiful scenery and food in Kyoto, he was directly referring to it.
These are small shops with authentic tastes that only people who have lived in Kyoto for a long time know, or high-end places frequented by big shots. Many of them are places that Oshima Yoshikura has heard of but is not qualified to enter.
Later, Oshima Yoshikura vaguely mentioned that a senior figure from the Ito family, the major shareholder of Eigen Bank, came to China for an inspection last week. After hearing this, Takeda Kaede said happily: "What? Uncle Yugi Ito came to China? Then?
But it's great. The Ito family and our Takeda family are family friends, will he come to Tianjin? If I can meet Uncle Yugi Ito this time, that will be the best news I have heard since I came to China."
Oshima Yoshikura said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to disappoint Takeda-kun. Ito-sama only stayed in Shanghai for two days and then returned to China."
Takeda Kaede looked disappointed and murmured: "That's such a pity. It would be great if I could see him. It has been two years since my family sent me to China. I really miss my hometown. At that time, every time I arrived,
During the school holidays, I went to the kendo hall to train in the morning, and in the afternoon I went to the Uehara Kaikan to drink fragrant tea and chat with Uncle Ito for a few games. It was really a pleasant thing!"
At this time, Oshima Yoshikura had completely believed in Takeda Kaede's aristocratic status, and he had even begun to think of climbing up the dragon and adhering to the phoenix. How could ordinary people, except for the senior management of Eikan Bank, be able to directly name the name of Yuki Ito, the director of the Ito family stationed at Eikan Bank?
Maybe you know. And there are even fewer people who know that Ito Yugi loves Go. Even he only revealed it after hearing his boss drink too much. Only high-ranking people who are close to the Ito family can understand.
These things.
And how can it be so simple for someone who can go to Uehara Kaikan every day? Uehara Kaikan is a famous private club in Kyoto, Japan. It is a place where prestigious literati and flirts in Kyoto gather, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get in. Oshima Yoshikura
It has been almost 5 years since I was stationed in China by Yongjin Bank Headquarters. I am even more homesick. I think that this time is also an opportunity for me. As long as I can take good care of the nobleman in front of me, returning to China is not a matter of words.
Son.
With this thought in mind, Oshima Yoshikura became more than enthusiastic, he even began to smile a little flatteringly and said: "Does Takeda-kun also like Go? That's great, I usually don't have any hobbies, and I only like this game.
I wonder if I will be lucky enough to get Takeda-kun’s guidance?”
Takeda Kaede raised his eyebrows and his eyes began to shine. "Oh... Oshima-kun is really a like-minded person, so what are you waiting for? Let's compete for a few games first and then talk about other things."
Oshima Yoshikura sighed inwardly: "This is the casual style of noble children. When it comes to hobbies, business matters can be put aside first."
Immediately, he quickly ordered Chieko, who was serving tea, to go to his office to get the Go chess.
The two men set up a chessboard and started fighting in this small living room.
Chieko was serving tea next to her. After experiencing the passion last night, her heart had been firmly tied to the handsome man in front of her. At this time, a pair of beautiful eyes with water-colored eyes stared at Takeda Kaede without blinking.
On her face, she watched in fascination as he frowned and meditated over the chessboard, his decisive and elegant demeanor, and every move he made touched her heartstrings. She felt that it was worth dying for him at this moment.
Unconsciously, it was afternoon, and the two players had already played four games. When Oshima Yoshikura surrendered for the last time, even though he had deliberately flattered him before, he now had to admit the gap in chess strength between the two sides.
.said with a frustrated face: "Takeda-kun is really a master of chess, which makes people admire you. I am a bit overestimating my abilities. I think Takeda-kun's level is already comparable to that of domestic masters. I am too far behind."
, I really made you laugh."
"Thank you, Oshima-kun. I can't call myself a master at my level. I just got guidance from the elders in the family and have been setting up the chess records for a few years. On the contrary, Oshima-kun has made some wonderful moves. You see.
here……"
I saw Takeda Kaede pointing at the chessboard, pointing out several rare tricks of Oshima Yoshikura one by one, and then also expressed his views on how to deal with the backhand, which greatly impressed Oshima Yoshikura. The two discussed it some more.
Finally, Oshima raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said: "Takeda-kun is indeed a member of a noble family. I am very impressed by his insights and demeanor. It's time to get off work now. If I don't give up, I would like to invite Takeda-kun."
Let’s have a few drinks together and continue to listen to Takeda-kun’s advice while drinking. I hope Takeda-kun will appreciate you.”
Takeda Kaede smiled slightly and said: "Oshima-kun is too polite. In this case, I will be disrespectful. Besides, discussing chess while drinking wine is really a fascinating thing."
Oshima Yoshikura was overjoyed when he heard this.
…
In the evening, Oshima Yoshikura, who had a pleasant drink and had a great time, made an appointment with Takeda Kaede again to go to the bank for a detailed discussion tomorrow, and then insisted on sending Takeda Kaede back to the hotel before saying goodbye and going home.
An hour later, Takeda Kaede appeared at the door of the hotel again, looked around casually, then called a rickshaw and drove towards Asahi Street.
Not long after, the rickshaw came to a stop in front of a house on Asahi Street. After Takeda Kaede paid the rickshaw driver, he stood on the street, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly forward. When he saw that the rickshaw had gone away and disappeared,
After that, he threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with his feet. He strode to a two-story house and knocked on the door gently.
After a while, the door was half-opened, and a man's head came out to take a look, and then he let Takeda Kaede in.
After Takeda Kaede entered the room, he saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old in casual clothes looking at him with a smile. He immediately bowed and said, "I have met you, sir."
The adult Takeda talks about is Zhou Wen.
It turned out that Zhou Wen and the others had arrived in Tianjin by train five days ago. They quickly contacted the two brothers Zhao Yi, Zhao Shun and their eldest sister Zhao Ying who had been sent back before.
Zhao Ying is twenty-seven or eighty years old, and she is also extremely beautiful. Coupled with many years of professional training, every move she makes is full of charm, full of the sexiness and charm of a mature woman. However, she does not dare to show off in front of Zhou Wen.
After knowing that her two younger brothers had become disciples of Zhou Wen, she knew that this was an opportunity for the three siblings to escape from their misery and become good people, so she naturally treated Zhou Wen as her master.
After meeting Zhou Wen at that time, Zhao Ying knelt down and saluted politely. After thanking Zhou Wen for saving the lives of the two brothers Zhao Yi and Zhao Shun, she also directly begged Zhou Wen to take her into his sect. Zhao Ying said: "So that the young master can know,
Although this servant is in ruins and cannot be looked upon by the young master, she has experienced some ups and downs in the world. She also knows a little about the heretics and evil spirits in the world. The young master will always need her in the future. I hope the young master will take her into his care.
."
Zhou Wen did not stop Zhao Ying from kneeling. He knew that people in the world of this era were doing this. Since you want to take care of others, you must first clarify the identity of master and servant, and then they will depend on each other for life and death. If you are too polite, it will
It's easy for people to have other thoughts, so I didn't hesitate immediately and directly agreed to Zhao Ying's request. Regardless of whether Zhao Ying is useful or not, you kidnapped two brothers and didn't leave her alone as a woman.
principle.
However, Zhou Wen did not dare to tell her about his plan to rob Yongjin Bank. He just asked her to take her brothers to find a few cars and prepare them.
At this time, Tianjin was the largest and most prosperous city in northern China, and the second largest city in China after Shanghai. As early as after the Second Opium War, Britain was the first to establish a concession in Tianjin through a series of unequal treaties.
After the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Belgium all successively established concessions in Tianjin. Since then, Tianjin has become an imperialist power that plunders China's resources and wealth, and at the same time robs China of its resources and wealth.
The largest distribution center and port in the north where China dumps a large number of products.
In Tianjin, it is not easy to find a few cars after Zhao Ying and Zhao Yi have been involved in the underworld for many years.
