The worried Shota Hashimoto and his father Ryutaro Hashimoto returned to the car with their family members.
This was the first time Ryoko Hashimoto saw such an expression on her husband's face.
Ever since the Hashimotos joined forces with Kitahara Sosuke, it has been smooth sailing in the political arena, rising to the heights it is today without any hindrance.
Ryoko Hashimoto also witnessed from the side the extraordinary achievements of Sosuke Kitahara that made her father Hiroto Uchida envious time and time again, and she was almost numb.
As the youngest son of the Hashimoto family, Shota Hashimoto naturally enjoys these enviable benefits. He smiles every day and earns a lot of income without having to work much.
Why is it that after visiting Sosuke Kitahara today and having a secret conversation with him, my husband is frowning?
She wanted to ask, but her mother-in-law stopped her with her eyes.
Sure enough, before leaving the parking lot, Hashimoto got out of their car, exchanged places with her mother-in-law, and went to discuss something with Ryutaro Hashimoto alone.
Sitting in the back seat of the luxury car, Shota Hashimoto happened to catch a glimpse of his father greeting people in another luxury car that passed by.
The other party rolled down the window, and it turned out to be former Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi.
Next to him sat the elegantly dressed Miyazawa Kaoru, a super social butterfly who was as famous as Jida Sonoko in the circle of high-class ladies. She had a low eyebrow, as if she was expecting something, but also seemed to be afraid of something.
Hashimoto Ryutaro and Miyazawa Kiichi just nodded to each other, rolled up the car windows, and passed each other.
But both of them knew that from the moment they stepped into Xueyue Village, they became temporary allies.
As long as Kitahara Sosuke survives, perhaps this relationship will continue to be maintained.
"This is the art of politics. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests." Ryutaro Hashimoto did not forget to educate his beloved youngest son here. Several of his brothers have entered politics. Unfortunately, their talents and abilities are average and they will have the most future.
Relying on family power to become a member of parliament is the end of it.
He could only hope that Hashimoto Shota, who had a close relationship with Kitahara Sosuke, could make some achievements in business.
Hashimoto Holdings Co., Ltd. was established at the beginning of this year, and with the help of Kitahara Investment, it slowly occupied Nagoya and Yokohama.
"Yes, father." Hashimoto Shota looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Does that mean that in the future we may...break up with Sosuke because of interests?"
"Theoretically, it is an inevitable event. The situation is changing rapidly. It is the most common thing for everyone to turn against each other, but in fact... it is impossible." Hashimoto Ryutaro turned to look at him, his eyes were burning, and he said word by word, "The prerequisite for breaking up.
Yes, you think it would be better if you don't need him, and you think you can defeat him, so you make this choice. At that time, Miyazawa Kiichi, later Hata Tsumugi, Hosokawa Morihi, etc., all thought so, including Takeshita Nobuya
In this way, they have strength, confidence, and are willing to believe that they can surpass Kitahara Sosuke instead of being controlled by him."
"But what was the final result? They all lost, some lost all their property, some lost their status, and some... even lost their lives. So Shota, you think I'm not here
After that, with your ability, can you defeat Kitahara Sosuke without even having to do it?"
"How is that possible?! That guy, I was even afraid that he would sell me, and I was still counting the money for him." Hashimoto Shota answered truthfully.
In the second-generation circle, he belongs to the group with outstanding abilities and cleverness. When he is drawn out, he is also the elite among the elite in society.
After all, if you can rely on your own ability to enter Dongsan, you have proven that you are one of the 1% of people in the country.
But once he stood next to Kitahara Sosuke, he looked ridiculous.
Totally incomparable!
He still has this bit of self-awareness.
"That's it. You can't do it, and neither can your brothers. No one in the Hashimoto family can beat Kitahara Sosuke. Even I...will lose." Hashimoto Ryutaro is good at politics. If he is in
In the officialdom, he was confident that he could fight with Kitahara Sosuke, but in other aspects, it was better not to humiliate himself.
He sighed and continued,
"And Shouta, how many things have we done together with him over the years? I will finish the campaign soon. The Kitahara family and the Hashimoto family are comrades who are tightly bound together in everyone's eyes. I understand what you are asking.
The reason is that of course we have to hold our own when facing him, but more often than not, what we need is to try our best to help him do things."
"I understand." Hashimoto Shota didn't have any thoughts like "I feel my wings are stiff, should we fly by ourselves?" He was worried about other things, "But father, don't you think Sosuke is going a little too far?"
Are you there? He actually wants to kill them all! I took a cursory glance at that list, but I can’t just fool it casually.”
"I have also seen that, except for some of our common political opponents, most of them are from the Sumitomo Foundation. Judging from the reasons and candidates for taking action, there is no problem with this matter." Ryutaro Hashimoto sighed again, "I don't quite understand either.
He had no intention, but he was full of confidence, as if this was something that was bound to happen in history, and he was just going with the flow. This feeling made me feel like I was back on the eve of the bubble."
Before the bubble burst, he also vowed to do so.
"Anyway, I have communicated with him, so just postpone it for a week. He will make arrangements properly. Murayama Tomiichi and others will take the blame."
"Well, I know father. I'm not worried that Sosuke will miss. I just feel that if this goes on, his murderous nature will become more and more serious..." Hashimoto Shota was a little worried, but also felt that with his friend's ability,
Wouldn't be unaware of this.
"Many things will not go according to the script we arranged. We can only let it take its course. I can only tell you, Shota, if one day, he really becomes unable to look back, then he may become the leader of all Japan, or even the whole country.
The most terrifying person in the world!”
Ryutaro Hashimoto looked out the window at the sky.
...
Kitahara Sosuke probably guessed what Hashimoto Shota was thinking, but he didn't want to explain anything to him.
Historically, this was a series of major events that followed the domestic financial crisis.
It's just that the people who are leading this matter are Xu Yongzhong and the others, but those guys have long been sunk into Tokyo Bay by Kitahara Sosuke and disappeared into the ocean. Now it's just the people from the Kanto Alliance who will do it.
It is necessary to severely weaken the Sumitomo Foundation.
It is the biggest enemy of the Beihara Consortium. Whether it is various businesses or past grievances, it is the first strong enemy that must be faced.
There's no reason not to hit it hard when you have the chance!
Miyazawa Kiichi brought Miyazawa Kaoru to visit the Kitahara family. He was also a big shot, which made Kitahara Masao feel numb. In these years in Tosan, the highest-ranking politician he had seen was a director of the Ministry of Finance.
He also ignores himself.
And now, sitting in front of him is the former prime minister and his eldest granddaughter.
Looking at Miyazawa Kaoru's ambiguous attitude towards Kitahara Sosuke, Kitahara Masao, who is well versed in human relations and sophistication, still doesn't understand.
"Xiao Kaoru, she found out that she is pregnant a few days ago." Miyazawa Kiichi lowered his voice so that only the Kitahara couple could hear, and then glanced at Miyazawa Kaoru who was having an ambiguous interaction with Kitahara Sosuke on the other side.
