Chapter 257 Okura
Several people turned on the TV and watched while waiting. About twenty minutes later, the waiter knocked on the door and pushed the food delivery cart on the second floor. He was busy in the room, placing tableware and food, and reminding him to eat.
When you're done, you can call them and tell them to come and clean up.
"How many things did you order, Ikuta..."
Wu Geng looked at the table that was filled with plates, including steak and tongue, fruit salad, sweet and sour pork ribs and mapo tofu. There were also various types of sushi on the wooden plates. They were mixed in a mess on the table.
"I asked them all to come, but I didn't expect there would be so many." Ikuta put the knife and fork in place, but Xiao Asuka was one step ahead of her, picked up a piece of beef tongue and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's delicious!"
Just like the charge horn was sounded on the battlefield, Ikuta did not bother to condemn Xiao Asuka's despicability and immediately joined the battle.
The beef tongue was all eaten up in the blink of an eye, and before Weiyang Nai had time to stretch out her second chopstick, Wu Geng patted her on the shoulder and said, "You will get used to it in the future."
Several people ate until they were full before finishing all the food. After contacting the waiter to clean it up, everyone returned to their rooms.
——
Six hours ago, four o'clock in the afternoon.
rb Tokyo. In a courtyard somewhere.
Otsubo Kanichiro stepped on the wooden floor and walked along the corridor. He passed by the tea room, bedroom and living room, but there was no response when he knocked on the door. Finally, he saw the figure of the man in the study.
From the back, he looks like an old man in his sixties, but his shoulders are broad and thick, and his figure looks strong and strong. He must be diligent in exercising every day.
The old man had short hair and half gray hair, leaning against the sliding door, with a few books scattered around. He was sipping a drink at the moment, looking at the moss garden with the theme of soft fir moss in front of him. Red maples and pine trees were slender and elegantly scattered in the courtyard.
, large pieces of bluestone are embedded in the ground and extend into the moss garden, paving a path, but the old man rarely goes in.
More often than not, he just looked at the scenery in front of him lonely.
"Mr. Okura."
Daping stood in front of the Japanese room door and said softly. He knew that the other person was probably just in a daze.
"Ah, it's Kanichiro."
"I'm not disturbing you."
"No, come in and talk." Promise me to never leave you.
Daping nodded slightly and walked to the old man's side. The cool wind blew in, mixed with the unique moisture and freshness of the vegetation, which refreshed people's spirits.
"About the trip for the seven Nogizaka members to Macau for the location shoot, Hirako-san from AAYS [All Japan Air Transport] is in charge. The flight at four o'clock should be on the plane now."
The old man paused and said, "You should have called to inform me. Don't go too far."
Ana's Hirako Yushi is his old friend. The two have been friends for decades. They have abilities and talents, but occasionally they do unreasonable things. Okura just hopes that he will not scare those little girls.
Good. Fortunately, it was just an upgrade from economy class to first class. However, Daping said that this morning, the Michelin-starred chef in Pingzi's family was sent to nowhere.
"Arrived at Macau International Airport at eight o'clock in the evening. A little after eight o'clock, the girls will arrange to stay at the Galaxy Hotel. According to your instructions, the medium-sized rooms are not too grand. However, the Japanese-style rooms in the Okura Hotel are already fully booked.
It's difficult to change. They were accommodated in modern-style rooms at the Galaxy Hotel. Of course, the service level was adjusted to the highest level, and the facilities in the entire resort city can be experienced for free."
As one of the world's top integrated resorts, Galaxy Macau is built by Chinese and Japanese companies, including Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts in Macau and Hotel Okura in Japan, as well as its own independent brand Macau among the three five-star hotels in Macau.
Galaxy Hotel.
In the past two years, due to the continuous investment of the Okura Zaibatsu, although it has been announced as a Sino-foreign joint venture, the Okura Hotel actually has a higher say.
"You just have to make the arrangements," the old man said. "We are only responsible for accommodation issues. Others have other matters, so we don't need to intervene."
"We have dispatched five waiters from Tokyo to provide them with specialized services for three days. There is no need to worry about safety. The Macau Police Department has also said hello."
The old man nodded, "You can do this in private. Don't make it too grand. The little girls won't be used to it."
"I know."
After a while, the old man turned around and saw the young man behind him who he had brought up with his own hands. He hesitated to speak and couldn't help but smile, "If you have any questions, just ask them. I rarely hide anything from you."
Daping is more like his appointed heir than his subordinate. Okura has no heirs, and the group's affairs are gradually delegated to Daping. Except for some core affairs that need to be decided by him, he just does it most of the time.
Drink and read books in this house, and occasionally have parties. Ye Zhiciyuan
"We don't need to care so much about that little girl. Although I don't know why she got the qualification to join the club, according to my observation, there is nothing special about her. She is just an ordinary girl."
"That's not something you need to think about."
Okura glanced at Otsubo, and heard other emotions from his words, "Of course, someone will check the membership qualifications of the official members. Kanichiro, you have got enough, there is no need to worry about the request for membership before.
Dismissal."
"……I see."
Okura could hear the unfinished meaning in Otsubo's words. He had always wanted to become a formal member of Okura's exchange association, and he also inquired about information about the exchange association through his own channels. Unfortunately, it was not interests that connected formal members in the exchange association, but
It's something on a higher level. And people who are excluded from the exchange meeting can't even imagine these things.
Afterwards, Daping made a routine report to Okura on the current situation of the company, and then said goodbye and left.
"Why don't you have a drink with me, an old man, before you go?" Okura swirled the sake in the small porcelain cup.
"No, the company has other matters waiting to be dealt with...Mr. Okura, it's better to drink less alcohol. It's not good for your health."
Okura took a small sip and didn't care.
Daping sighed, nodded slightly, and exited the study.
Okura is the only one left in this big house. There is no servant cook here, and he does many things by himself. A gardener comes regularly every week to make detailed repairs to the courtyard, and someone will also come to clean the house and replenish the supplies.
Ingredients, etc.
The EI of the house has a security room with a shift system. There are people on duty 24 hours a day to prevent random people from disturbing him. Those who have the authority to come in directly without announcing it. Except for some old friends, there is only one person in Daping.
Okura thought that there were only more than ten days until the exchange meeting at the end of February, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit excited. When Arisukawa joined, she was only eleven years old and had not graduated from elementary school. Her real age was just a girl who had just entered university.
Half of the people are old people over fifty years old, and they dote on her very much.
Okura even treated her as a granddaughter. If she hadn't had her own ideas, Okura might have directly transferred her to his company for training and gradually taken over the group's affairs, and it wouldn't be Daping's turn.
All in all, Arisukawa hasn't seen him for more than half a year, but we can definitely meet him at the exchange meeting - together with her childhood friend who passed away at midnight.
