"Hide like the Warburg family..." Hideya Karasuma turned the cup in his hand and said thoughtfully, "That's okay, but we must pay attention to maintaining the headquarters' control over its companies and not letting side branches develop and do the opposite.
Contain the main body."
"Umbrella has just completed its reorganization, and the headquarters' control over its companies is at a high point. There is no need to worry about such issues for the time being." Chi Feichi seriously thought about Umbrella's situation, "As for the future...my father
I usually pay great attention to the supervision of my affiliated companies, and I will be more careful in the future."
"That's good," Karasuma Hideya smiled and asked, "By the way, the politician your father supported, Luther Nutt, judging from his performance, he is a smart and thoughtful person.
...Are you sure you can control him?"
"Many people think that Luther Nat has political talent, but let me tell you the truth, Luther Nat is just a gifted speaker. His excellent political strategy comes entirely from Umbrella," Chi Feichi said, "If
If he is unwilling to attach himself to Umbrella, he will also lose the glory of his political genius."
"For a novice politician, political ability is indeed very important. It determines whether he can enter the public's sight and gain the favor of the people. But as a politician accumulates political capital, he can gain political ability by forming a think tank.
Later, he will be able to secure his position by relying on his own influence," Karasuma Hideya reminded in a gentle tone, "And as the time in politics increases, even if he is a fool, he can accumulate a lot of experience in dealing with things. If he is a little bit
If you are smart, you can use enough experience to become a qualified politician. It is difficult to control a politician only by relying on the source of political talent."
"Of course it's not just this." Chi Feichi picked up his wine glass and drank, a smile flickering at the corner of his mouth, "I also have something against him, something that can make him ruined and despised by others."
Karasuma Hideya's eyes caught the smile that flashed at the corner of Chi Feichi's mouth. He felt as if he had raised a little fox, cunning and proud. He couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I don't need to worry about this matter."
...By the way, how is your mother doing lately? Have you contacted her during this time?"
"Before the farewell party, I contacted her once," Chi Feichi said. "She planned to go to France to attend a fashion conference, meet with the managers of other fashion brands, and then go to the United States to find my father..."
The cruise ship sailed slowly on the sea. Chi Feichi and Karasuma Hideya were eating, drinking and chatting about home life in the Japanese-style restaurant. The atmosphere was leisurely and harmonious.
Suddenly, there were bursts of sharp screams and booming explosions from the direction of the pier, and the dim night outside the window was instantly illuminated by the light of fireworks.
Chi Feichi listened to the continuous sound of fireworks soaring into the sky and turned to look at the illuminated shoji window, "Is there a fireworks show in Tokyo Bay tonight?"
"After twelve o'clock tonight, it will be Christmas," Karasuma Hideya also raised his eyes to look at the window with a gentle look, "Japanese young people like to treat Christmas as a date day. I originally thought you were going on a date with your girlfriend tomorrow, so I
If I ask you to go out and have dinner with me tonight, it will be an early celebration..."
Chi Feichi looked at the brilliant light reflected in the window, "I even forgot that tomorrow is Christmas..."
In Japan, young people do like to regard Christmas as a date holiday, but in the UK, Christmas is a celebration day for family reunions, and its meaning is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.
His maternal grandfather went to England when he was a teenager, got married and had children there, and did not return to Japan until he was old. He should have regarded Christmas as an important holiday related to his family, and he was even used to thinking about his family on Christmas.
But he really couldn't remember that tomorrow was Christmas...
Christmas is December 25th, right? He didn’t look at the date until he went out. Today is December 22nd. Why is Christmas tomorrow? Why on earth?!
"What a terrible answer," Karasuma Hideya lamented. "Men who cannot remember festivals are easily blamed by women."
"Then there's nothing we can do..." Chi Feichi looked away speechlessly, not wanting to talk to the natives of this world about why the 25th would be the 25th after the 22nd, so he took the initiative to send a festival invitation to Karasuma Hideya, "
Yueshui has already gone on a trip with friends. I don't need to accompany my girlfriend on a date tomorrow. Do you want to spend Christmas with me?"
"Even if you don't say that, I will mention it," Karasuma Hideya laughed, "Let's go to Yokohama. I have a small house in Yokohama. I just found someone to renovate it this year, but it still maintains the British decoration.
and furniture, I always thought it would be a perfect place to celebrate Christmas.”
Chi Feichi nodded, "I will follow your arrangement."
"Then I'll have someone deliver the Christmas tree and decorations later," Hideya Karasuma thought, "Let's watch the fireworks show in Tokyo Bay first, and later we can take a boat directly to Yokohama Pier..."
That night, the fireworks show at this end of Tokyo Bay had just ended, and there were large groups of fireworks exploding in the sky over there.
After the fireworks show ended, light snow fell from the sky.
In the cruise ship restaurant, the electric heater glows warmly, making the room warm and comfortable.
Chi Feichi was sitting by the window of the Japanese-style restaurant. He saw the snow falling outside the window. He reached out and closed the window halfway. He noticed that the phone in his pocket was vibrating. He took it out and looked at the caller ID. He said hello to Karasuma Hideya who was sitting at the dining table.
"Sorry, grandpa, let me take a call."
Karasuma Hideya nodded to Chi Feichi, turned to look at Jane who had just brought the wine in, "Then let's be quiet for a while."
Jane smiled and nodded without saying a word.
When Chi Feichi saw this, he did not leave the restaurant to talk on the phone, but directly answered the call, "Xiao Ai?"
The energetic voices of three children came from the other end of the phone.
Gentai: "Brother Chi, we are conducting fire prevention patrol at Yonehua Town 5-chome again tonight!"
Ayumi: "Xiao Ai said that Sister Nanatsuki went to Fukuoka with her friends for a trip today and will not be back tonight. You are the only one at home..."
Mitsuhiko: "So come out and patrol with us! It's boring to be alone at home, isn't it?"
After the three children finished speaking, Haihara Ai added on the phone, "That's it."
"Hasn't the arsonist been caught?" Chi Feichi asked, "Why are you still on fire patrol tonight?"
Yuantai immediately said, "Although the arsonist has been caught, everyone is still worried!"
"According to the pattern of arson last year, the arsonist will complete the fifth arson today," Mitsuhiko said in a serious tone, "Only when tonight passes safely, can everyone feel relieved!"
Ayumi added, "So the city hall also organized patrols tonight, and we continued to sign up to participate."
"We will walk to the street in front of the Seven Detective Office in about five minutes. They want to ask you if you want to patrol together, so they asked me to call you," Haibara Ai said in a slow tone, "You have to come out and follow us.
Do you want to go on patrol together? Find something for yourself to do, which can effectively alleviate the loss of being separated from your lover!"
"I have the same idea as you," Chi Feichi said, "so I went out in the afternoon and just watched the fireworks show in the port area."
