After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.
After being bewitched by Yamamoto Ryoko just now, I agreed to the matter in a flash. But after I calmed down and thought about it carefully, I found that the matter was not as simple as I thought. Yamamoto Ryoko's statement was full of too many loopholes. She alone
It's suspicious enough that he didn't try to dissuade Shiraishi Rika just because he said, "I will support you no matter what."
If they were ordinary friends, maybe Natsuki would really believe it, but if the relationship is as good as that of Ryoko Yamamoto and Rika Shiraishi, the credibility of this sentence would plummet. Probably, for them, it doesn't matter.
There is something you care about more than the other person himself. Therefore, Yamamoto Ryoko’s words are not very credible.
However, Xia Zhi, whose understanding of the relationship between the two was only limited to the fact that the relationship was particularly good, was not sure. Maybe there was something else that he did not understand.
Whether Yamamoto Ryoko tampered with this matter is not the main problem. The problem is the person he needs to face. Shiraishi Group, Japan's leading super large group, covers a wide range of areas, with employees almost all over Japan's major cities. Although
There is also the blessing of the Baishi family from their ancestors, but they are middle-aged capitalists and big entrepreneurs who have established themselves in the Baishi Group. Even Xia Zhi, who has not yet entered the society, can feel the room for improvement in this group.
Is its status in Japan close to that of the second horse?
Although it is very subtle for a small person like me to face such a big person, it is probably not the same level of panic as meeting a national leader while walking on the road and being greeted cordially.
This was agreed too hastily!
Xia Zhi already wanted to give up before she even started.
However, there is no other way now. Whether you can do what you promised is one thing, and whether you want to do it or not is another thing. And... Xia Zhi also feels that he should go.
They have known each other for a long time. After knowing each other for such a long time, Xia Zhi also cherishes this friendship with Shiraishi Lihua, whether it is the care he receives or the many help he receives from the other party.
I haven't received any decent reward, and although the other party probably doesn't need it, to be honest, it's not very fair.
If there was a chance to repay the other party, Xia Zhi would probably go back and fight for it no matter what.
Moreover, it is not completely impossible.
No matter what identity the other party is or what kind of person he is, what he sees is not those lofty things, but a father and a mother. What he sees is just the parents of his classmates, not doing anything.
Business negotiations and other profound things are like a teacher's home visit, like being invited as a guest by a classmate - the only difference is that the topic to be discussed is something that one should not have to talk about.
No matter what happens, this is what he needs to do. Xia Zhi already has this idea. Since it is something that he needs to do and cannot escape, he can only do it as much as possible.
Complete this thing. Even if it is not for the result you are pursuing, even if it is just to make yourself feel at ease, you still have to do it.
The phone vibrated. It was a text message from Ryoko Yamamoto. It contained three contact information, Hero Shiraishi, Sanae Shiraishi's mobile phone, and the Shiraishi family's phone number. Incidentally, there was also the Shiraishi family's address and a sentence.
[Uncle Shiraishi’s number is different from the public one, so don’t tell others your contact information casually.]
It's not the same one as the public one, in other words...is it a private contact information? Although it may be that Lihua's parents left her a phone number for convenience, but it seems like it was entrusted to someone else.
It's already past ten o'clock, and it's impossible to call today anyway. We can only wait until tomorrow. But regardless of whether I can fall asleep now, it's not even time to go to bed yet, because this
The thing is, Xia Zhi has no idea of having fun anymore.
Staying in bed, Xia Zhi spent time meaninglessly, then fell asleep again without realizing it, and woke up before the phone rang. There was nothing special to do, just wash and eat.
I had breakfast and then went to school. Even the first person I saw when I arrived at school was the disciplinary committee member Itsuka Yuki whom I met often. This was no problem.
There was only one problem, and that was... Xia Zhi never expected that he would actually hear "Good morning" the moment he opened the classroom door during the normal time he came to school. Xia Zhi thought that he
I had hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. Unexpectedly, when I followed the sound, I saw Ryoko Yamamoto sitting in her seat and playing with her mobile phone.
There is no better way to describe Xia Zhi's expression other than "as if he had seen a ghost".
"Can you calm down that expression that looks like you've seen a ghost? Are you so weird when you see me?"
"No, isn't this strange enough?" Xia Zhi asked back.
"Well... I didn't expect to be so early, but I have some things to do. Before you came to school so late, Lihua will be here in a few minutes, so let's hurry up."
It gave people the feeling that they were doing something shady. Maybe Yamamoto Ryoko really felt that it was better to keep this matter secret. Natsuki sat back in his seat silently, and Yamamoto Ryoko came over with his schoolbag.
"Then I'll make the story short. You should have seen the three contact information I sent you yesterday, right?"
"I saw it, but I won't tell it. You don't have to be so nervous, right?"
"Honestly, it doesn't matter if you tell me or not."
It doesn't matter, it's okay, it seems like it's really a bad thing.
"Can I ask what you're going to do?"
"What else can be done? We can only talk about it. There is no other solution to this kind of problem except talking."
"Well, it's pretty much what I thought. Did you call yesterday? Because Uncle Baishi is quite busy at work, I think you might have to call in advance to make an appointment."
Although it is a private call, it doesn't matter whether the thing you want to do is private or public. After all, you are only one of you from the beginning to the end. Xia Zhi had already expected this.
"Besides, I think it would be better if you go over and talk in person."
"Although it is indeed better to talk like this...but you don't seem to have considered the pressure I have to bear at all."
"If you're talking to that family, if it's something that has nothing to do with work, you don't have to be so nervous. By the way, the cookies made by Lihua's mother are delicious. If you have any, bring me some."
"...It's a shame that you and Lihua are such good friends."
"This is the so-called charm of personality. Let's not talk about it for now. The main reason why I came so early this time is to tell you that if possible, you'd better call at noon today to find out when I will be free. After all, I don't have time either.
We know exactly when Lihua will go abroad, so it would be better to hurry up."
"In that case, why did you come so early? Why don't you just send me a message?"
"There are many things that cannot be explained clearly on the phone." Ryoko Yamamoto waved her hand: "Besides this matter, there is another thing, I will buy you time."
"Buying time?" Xia Zhi looked at her doubtfully.
"Yes. If you know you can go over to talk that day, tell me first. I will take Lihua to play outside for a while and come back later. This way you don't have to be embarrassed."
"...You are quite thoughtful."
"Because I can't go by myself this time, I have to find a way to make things more successful."
Xia Zhi believed her a little bit.
"You must let Lihua stay! That's my best friend, and it's also yours." Ryoko Yamamoto blinked: "I'll go out for a while, Lihua will be in the classroom soon, I'll be back in a few minutes. You
Don't reveal your secret! Otherwise Lihua will kill me."
Natsuki rolled his eyes, indicating that he understood. Yamamoto Ryoko quickly ran out of the classroom with her schoolbag and closed the door.
As if he was doing some espionage activities, Xia Zhi chuckled twice and packed up his schoolbag. Just halfway through, the classroom door was opened.
"Good morning, Xia Zhijun."
The person who greeted me at the door of the classroom was Shiraishi Rika, who always had a faint smile on her face.
"Good morning... Good morning." It felt like there was a little cold sweat on his forehead, but Xia Zhi didn't dare to wipe it off. It was also because Yamamoto Ryoko was stuck in time, and if it was a little later, she might have to fight with Shiraishi Rika.
Met face to face.
"I came early as usual." Shiraishi Rika walked towards her seat.
"Isn't it the same for you?" Xia Zhi looked at the other party.
Is this beautiful, gentle person who always seems to have a smile on his face about to leave Japan? He will go to the country where he came from, just like he came to this country.
To be fair, Shiraishi Rika is indeed a friend worth missing. If we parted like this, I would probably not be able to help but miss her. It doesn't matter anything else, just the relaxed atmosphere with her is worth it.
Missed it.
Everyone has selfish motives, no one is an exception. Just like Yamamoto Ryoko wanted to keep her best friend, Natsuki also wanted to keep her, even if it was just to maintain this peaceful and gentle time.
And if she knew what she had done, she would probably be hated, right? After all, no one likes nosy people. But Xia Zhi has already made up his mind, even if he is hated, it doesn't matter.
What you do will not change. Even if you regret it, you will have to wait until later to regret it.
"What's wrong? You look a little happy."
"It's nothing, I just think it's a little bit amazing that a person like me can make up his mind to do something one day."
"Although I don't know what you are talking about, Xia Zhijun says that you can succeed in whatever you want to do. You don't need to underestimate yourself."
If you are hurt by someone, it is natural for you to want revenge.
So, if someone treats you kindly, there is no problem in repaying the favor in the same way, right?
"Speaking of which, Lihua, are you interested in amusement parks? For example, Disneyland or something like that."
"The amusement park, it seems like I haven't been there for a long time. What's wrong, Xia Zhijun wants to go to the amusement park?"
"I just feel that after coming here for so long, there are still many places that I haven't been to, which is really a pity. There are many places that I want to visit, such as amusement parks and so on. Do you want to go together next time?"
"Eh?" Bai Shili was stunned for a moment: "Are you inviting me?"
"Yeah, I always feel embarrassed to have you invite me. Next time I'll invite you to hang out."
"You... too, after all, Xia Zhijun is not someone who cares about these things."
Xia Zhi glanced at Shiraishi Rika who was talking to herself in confusion. She smiled and nodded gently.
"Okay, since Xia Zhijun invited me, I will definitely go."
"It will definitely satisfy you."
To be honest, as an international student, I shouldn't be so confident when I say something like "I will definitely satisfy you". After all, I am an international student, and the other person is a real local. Maybe the places I pass by are more
There are many, but in terms of familiarity with this place, there are probably several, or even a dozen, or dozens of them together. They may not be as good as each other. The reverse is also the case.
But the big words have been released, and whether they can be fulfilled is a matter for the future. The only thing I need to consider now is to ensure that when I can fulfill this agreement, the other party will still stay here.
No matter what, no matter how embarrassing it is, no matter how great the pressure is, you must stay.
Otherwise, the agreement will not be fulfilled.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Shiraishi Rika is still smiling.
The classroom door was pushed open, and Yamamoto Ryoko walked in again, as if nothing happened before.
"Good morning!"
He happily ignored Xia Zhi and quickly ran towards Shiraishi Lihua.
"Lihua Lihua, do you know? It seems that the teacher is going to tell us about the school festival today! In other words, the school festival activities for our class can be decided today! Are you looking forward to it? Are you looking forward to it?"
Yamamoto Ryoko was noisy as usual, and her noise also attracted the same wry smile from Shiraishi Rika.
While comforting Ryoko Yamamoto, he started discussing with her with great interest.
She clearly planned such a big thing behind her back, but she could still pretend to be nonchalant in front of the person involved. Yamamoto Ryoko is indeed a person who should not be underestimated. But there is no need to consider things about her now. She was still very interested in it.
The school festival can also be postponed a little later.
Now, the things that need to be considered have been placed in front of me. If this matter is not resolved, there will be nothing to talk about.
