"Speaking of state of mind, it seems that Mr. Tao just joined the kendo club this year, right? Why not earlier?" Masahiro Ueda held up the tea and seemed to be chatting, "The practice of kendo has only started now, and it requires more perseverance.

"

Tao Zhiming nodded seriously: "I was ignorant before and didn't know the importance of the body!"

Ueda Masahiro's hand holding the cup paused.

Is kendo practice purely for physical exercise?

What Tao Zhiming said was serious.

Opponents of the level of Twelve Danzhai King were all ready to attack. If they didn't have a good body, how could they withstand the bone-eroding attack and how could they surrender?

He would talk about his state of mind at one time and his body at another. In just a few words, Masahiro Ueda had already confirmed one thing: this was not a young man who only knew how to answer obediently when his elders asked him.

By going round and round, I actually want you to be more direct and tell me your intentions, right?

So Ueda Masahiro put down his cup and said to Yamamoto Norito: "I'm sorry, Yamamoto-kun, I have something to talk to Mr. Tao alone. How about you relax here alone? Doing research on weekdays is also very tiring."

Yamamoto Kento looked outside and nodded: "Let me look at the sunset."

Masahiro Ueda stood up, bowed to Tao Zhiming, stretched out his hand and pointed inward: "Mr. Tao, please!"

Seeing her father inviting Tao Dalang to the home practice room alone, Ueda Xana was a little nervous. Her mother Ueda Haruko glanced at her, and Ueda Xana quickly continued to help her mother prepare the evening meal.

"Is this this young man?" Ueda Haruko asked in a low voice.

Sina Ueda quickly shook her head without changing her expression: "No!"

"Hey..." Ueda Haruko murmured to herself, "I didn't say what kind of young man he was."

Shana Ueda lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Anyway not!

…

The family of Masahiro Ueda, known as the descendant of Kashin Akechi, has his own kendo practice room.

But Masahiro Ueda invited Tao Chiming here not to test his swordsmanship or anything like that.

After sitting face to face with Tao Zhiming, Ueda Masahiro said: "I take the liberty of inviting Mr. Tao to my home. I believe from what I have heard, you must already know the reason."

Seeing that he was still playing riddles, and not sure if he was speaking in this tone, Tao Zhiming simply said seriously: "I know that the Ueda family has a glorious history and a rigorous family tradition. In fact, I know Shana-san and I don't know each other.

Other outrageous ideas!”

Ueda Masahiro's serious face remained there.

Can we talk about something serious?

Hearing what Tao Zhiming said, Masahiro Ueda wanted to draw his sword.

Can he not see his daughter's little thoughts? This girl is already a little attracted to you, but you are using my daughter to get close to Professor Yamamoto?

Masahiro Ueda felt that if this kid really liked Shana that much, he wouldn't act so calm and composed when he saw the father of his crush, and would always try to behave better, right?

It shows that Shana is a stupid daughter!

With some effort, he quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and shook his head: "Tao Jun is joking. I highly encourage Xia Na to get to know outstanding young people like Tao Jun."

Tao Zhiming exhaled: "Really? Then I don't have to be so restrained in front of classmate Xia Na."

Masahiro Ueda wants to break the defense again.

What is restraint? The synonym of restraint is restraint, right? What do you want to do?

He wanted to draw his sword again.

After taking a deep look at him, Ueda Masahiro finally stopped beating around the bush: "Mr. Tao, I heard that the rumored Takeda Manufacturing land has started to go through the ownership transfer procedures. The person who will transfer the land,

The name is also Tao Dalang. It should be you, right?"

"Indeed." Tao Zhiming nodded, and he sat up straight as a junior.

When practicing swordsmanship, you are best at observing other people's energy.

In just a short moment, Masahiro Ueda sensed the change in Tao Zhiming's momentum.

Now he looked straight over and said calmly: "Sir Ueda, do you have any advice on this matter?"

Ueda Masahiro also sat upright, putting his hands on his knees: "I wonder, does Mr. Tao have the intention to sell this land?"

"have."

There was no change in Masahiro Ueda's eyes, and sure enough, he immediately said again: "But not now."

"Tao Jun wants to wait until the value of the land appreciates before selling it?"

Tao Zhiming smiled: "Of course."

Ueda Masahiro nodded: "Can I ask Mr. Tao about the expected price?"

"Sorry." Tao Zhiming refused directly, "Since we don't want to sell the land now, there is no point in talking about the price now."

"Tao Jun, you are already in a good mood." Masahiro Ueda suddenly changed the topic.

Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "But my body is not good enough and my strength is not strong enough."

A smile appeared on Masahiro Ueda's face: "Kendo practice really helps improve strength."

Tao Zhiming once again showed some respect towards his elders: "I wonder if I can get some advice from Mr. Ueda."

Masahiro Ueda admired it in his heart, but sighed silently.

It's a pity that he is not a pure neon person. It would be better if he is from the Tao family.

So he said: "The only person who was hostile to you was Omiya Hiroshi of Tomowa, not Mitsubishi."

One sentence brought Tao Zhiming's momentum back to a state of equality, and he nodded: "I know."

"Specialist Tokuo Suga of Mitsubishi has asked me to convey an invitation to meet with you."

"I understand, but please tell me, Mr. Ueda: In fact, everyone should know that the final ownership of that land is not decided by me alone." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "Because with Shana

As a friend, I can tell Lord Ueda this."

Masahiro Ueda understood clearly, and it seemed that Tokuo Suga's judgment was also problematic.

That's right. How could one of Shana's classmates, who was not a young man with a prominent background, win that piece of land on his own? Of course, he still had the support of Sumitomo.

But the next moment Tao Zhiming laughed: "Of course, if it is not completely transferred, I can still decide how to use the land."

Masahiro Ueda's eyes narrowed: "Can you decide how to use that land?"

"Yes." Tao Zhiming nodded firmly, "What project to run is one thing. Regarding the land itself, I have actually made a decision."

"Can I know?" Masahiro Ueda knew what he wanted to say, but he still made a gesture.

"Of course." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "I have spent a lot of money to buy that piece of land. Now, I'm wondering if I can mortgage that piece of land so that I can have enough funds to start my bookstore business.

.”

Masahiro Ueda was stunned: "Bookstore business?"

What kind of bookstore needs so much money? That piece of land is worth tens of billions!

"That's right. I'm very serious about bookstores." Tao Zhiming said cautiously, "I'm not just planning to open one. In the future, I want to open one store after another, and I also want to get into publishing."

In the industry, there are many places where money needs to be spent.”

"...It seems that Mr. Tao really has a plan for this matter and is very serious about it." Masahiro Ueda got the information he wanted, nodded, and saluted again, "I'm sorry. As a father, I need to rely on Xia Xia.

Please don’t be offended that despite my friendship with you, we are talking about something like this.”

"How could it be? I'm very happy to meet you like this." Tao Zhiming exhaled and said pretentiously, "On the way here, I was worried that you wanted to teach me a lesson because I was approaching classmate Xia Na."

"..." Masahiro Ueda was close to breaking through the defense again.

I really want to teach you a lesson, why do you call me Professor Yamamoto?

You haven't said more than three sentences, but you always talk about what to do to Xia Na, but you are actually thinking about what to do to her, right?

"In that case..." Masahiro Ueda gritted his teeth secretly, "Why don't you let me see how Tao Jun's current swordsmanship is?"

"Sir Ueda!" Tao Zhiming said immediately, "I'm just a beginner, and Shana-san is enough to guide me!"

"..." Masahiro Ueda completely broke his guard, "Xia Na himself has not achieved success in cultivation. I am afraid that there are some aspects that will lead you to the wrong path. Come on!"

Tao Zhiming shook his head: "I really don't need to trouble you. After all, I just want to exercise."

"Exercising your body may actually harm your body because of the wrong method!"

"...Master Ueda, I am a beginner and I only know how to draw swords randomly. When I was a child, my father taught me a saying, which is called random punching... Injury Master, what should I do if you are injured?"

Ueda Masahiro smiled: "With protective gear, you won't be injured. After all, I just want to see if there are any mistakes in Tao Jun's movements. Meng Tao Jun is honest. I believe my guidance is also valuable."

"...Okay then." Tao Zhiming said helplessly, "Please show mercy to Mr. Ueda."

I don’t know if the Ueda Masahiro family often has guests coming over, but they actually have training clothes prepared for the guests, and they are also washed very clean.

Tao Zhiming was joking like that, but actually he just felt that for a serious person like Masahiro Ueda, it would be better not to fall into his talking rhythm all the time.

It is certainly good to get guidance from such a master.
