National Tide 1980.

A secret restaurant in Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo.

After seeing Ning Weimin off, Kurishima Sumie deliberately patrolled other places before returning to the outside of Takahashi Oshinori's house.

"I'm back. The guests have left, I'm here to clean up," she stood at the door and asked to enter.

This kind of work is not usually her responsibility. In such a large restaurant, there are naturally maids to do these chores.

But it also depends on the situation.

After all, in a situation like today, Takahashi Oshinori's original goal was not achieved, and after being rejected by Ning Weimin, his emotions and mental state are really unpredictable.

In addition, Takahashi Oshinori was alone in the room with two geishas. Who knows what kind of situation would happen inside as they vented their anger and dissatisfaction.

Kurishima Sumie didn't dare let anyone else come here to work.

Having a comprehensive understanding of the president, she was really worried that the ordinary employees of the restaurant would not be able to handle the mess created by Takahashi Oshinori.

Even though she herself was reluctant, she knew that she would most likely be blamed, so she deliberately delayed her return.

But after all, she has been controlled by someone and she can't escape anyway. She has to face it eventually.

Now she only hoped that the two geishas could satisfy Takahashi Oshinori and reduce the torture she was about to face.

Sure enough, with an unhappy voice of consent, when Kurishima Sumie came in, she found that the room had completely turned into a ridiculous scene that was unbearable to watch.

Whether it was Takahashi Osunori himself or the two geishas, ​​all three had fallen into their most primitive state.

The smell of the air, the messy scene, and the two geishas who could only gasp in pain, all proved that an unusual battle had just taken place here.

Even though Kurishima Sumie had anticipated this, she couldn't help but blush and was quite frightened.

But she knew better than to say that if she showed any emotional fluctuations or dissatisfaction, it would probably anger Takahashi even more.

So he could only lower his head and ask softly, "I think you are tired, President. Let me clean up here as soon as possible so that you can continue to rest..."

"Ok".

Although he responded, Takahashi Oshinori still had a stern face and looked extremely bad.

Because of the light, his thin cheeks were cast into a hollow shadow.

At first glance, his naked body looked like a rocky cliff.

Especially his sudden question made Kurishima Sumie feel a sense of danger.

"That guy just left like that? He didn't even miss you at all?"

She didn't dare to look Takahashi Oshinori in the eye, and she tried hard not to tremble.

"Yes. I'm really sorry. My charm is not enough and I failed to keep the guests for the president."

However, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come. It is obvious that the sinister rage in Takahashi Oshinori's heart has not been fully vented.

"There's no point in saying anything extra. If that's the case, you should accept your punishment. Come here now!"

Chengjiang, who was familiar with Takahashi Oshinori's temperament, knew that he would probably be tortured, and finally he couldn't help trembling.

"President, please, please forgive me..."

"What? You still have the nerve to beg for mercy? You can't even attract a man! Stop talking nonsense, take off your clothes! Crawl over here like a dog!"

As he spoke, Takahashi Oshinori raised a belt in his hand, and because he stretched it hard, it made a crackling sound.

The sense of torture revealed in the letter made Kurishima Sumie scared to death. Her heart was beating wildly and her ears were buzzing.

At this moment, she knew that if she didn't appreciate the favor and didn't recognize the current situation, she would be asking for trouble.

So I could only suppress my shame and anger, shed tears, and do as I was told.

But because the abuse was so painful, she was still looking for the last chance to reduce the punishment and escape this inhuman treatment.

"President, I have really tried my best. Please stop because I still need to work for you..."

"Try your best? That only shows your incompetence! Don't look so aggrieved. There are many people in this world who are willing to serve me. If you can complete the tasks I assign to you, you are a qualified subordinate, but if you can't, you are no longer one. You are just a dog, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please, give me another chance..."

"Is it hard?"

"Yes, please forgive me..."

"If you didn't have a crush on him, maybe I would. But who made you like him?"

"No, I don't like anyone."

"Don't lie to me, I can tell."

"You asked me to seduce him, and I failed. I'm just a weak woman..."

"Why don't you admit it? You like him and he likes you, those are two different things. Otherwise, why did you come back so late? Are you still thinking about that man now?"

"No, really not..."

At this time, Kurishima Sumie gritted her teeth in pain.

It seems that this is the only way to deal with this matter.

It was not until half an hour later that Takahashi Oshinori seemed to have completely vented his pent-up emotions, and his expression finally returned to normal.

He sat on the low table, looking at the women crawling under him, and finally lit a cigarette with satisfaction and took a puff.

But even so, he did not give up on torturing people mentally.

Then he kicked the female boss, who was so tortured by the pain that she could hardly get up.

"Hate me?"

Cheng Jiang's face was pale, and even his lips had lost their color, but he still shook his head, "No hatred."

Takahashi Oshinori raised his eyebrows and smiled deliberately, "Why?"

"Because everything I have is given by you, the president. If it weren't for you, I would have lost this restaurant long ago, and my children and I would have been forced to have no way to survive due to debt. So no matter what you want me to do, I am grateful. Only by dedicating everything I have to you can I repay your kindness." "You are really good at talking, good, great, I like you to be so sensible. This matter ends here, you can leave now."

Chengjiang forced a smile, as if being praised by Takahashi Oshinori made her very happy.

She already knew how to conceal her emotions very well. If she couldn't hide her emotions completely, facing such a cruel and arrogant master, she would probably have been reduced to ashes.

Therefore, Takahashi Oshinori was more or less satisfied with Chengjiang's performance at this time. At least he could gain certain emotional value from it and stabilize his mental state.

However, he was not going to be so merciful to the other person who had truly brought him shame, rejected his kindness in person, and caused him to lose control of his emotions.

He had reasons to take revenge, so there was no way he would let the other person go. Moreover, a perverted torture would not satisfy him.

He must get back the humiliation he suffered today a thousand times over, and only when the other party kneels down and begs for mercy and personally gives him everything he wants will he be satisfied.

After all, he didn't take Ning Weimin seriously.

In his heart, there were few people in Japan who dared to refuse his request.

With his current wealth, it is not difficult for him to support a prime minister. Sooner or later, the whole of Japan will be his.

He didn't even take the big Japanese chaebols seriously, let alone a foreigner who came to Japan to seek fortune.

In his heart, Ning Weimin was a complete fool who didn't know what was good for him and was asking for trouble.

………………

At the same time, what happened on the other side was, of course, another matter.

In the Chixia Club, Ning Weimin carefully comforted the already somewhat panicked Mamasan Maria, trying his best to tell her not to worry too much about the matter, and not to blame herself.

"You don't have to apologize. This isn't your fault. Did you make the situation like this? No, it was this guy who was too self-righteous and had thoughts about you that shouldn't have. That's why this happened. I'm not mad at you at all."

However, how could Maria's panicked heart be restored to peace so easily?

In particular, through her contact with him at work, she has a good understanding of Takahashi Oshinori's arrogance and paranoia.

"But that man is quite conceited. Will he be irritated? Will he take further action? He is the president of EIE and a well-known figure in Japan's financial and business circles. It is said that his personal wealth is almost catching up with the richest man in Japan who owns the Nishiura Group. Even financial magazines believe that he is one of the most likely candidates to become the new richest man in Japan in the future. If he gets angry and intends to retaliate, I am afraid that the club and the foreign liquor business will be adversely affected. If it affects your other industries, then I will..."

Maria looked very worried. She was not only worried about herself, but also about Ning Weimin.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Fortunately, Ning Weimin remained calm and showed no hesitation at all, and interrupted Maria's apology.

"Of course I know what kind of person he is. Although this is only the first time we met, his arrogance was clearly expressed. As for his financial resources and influence, although I haven't gotten to the bottom of it, what you said is very likely true. But so what? If he wants to do it, then let him do it. If we offend him, will we die?"

"But... President, you are not worried about the damage he will cause. Do you want to consider contacting him again and reaching a reconciliation?"

"How to reconcile? Do you want to agree to his request? Really become his lover?"

"Of course not, how is that possible! But... at least I can try to explain the misunderstanding... After all, the development prospects of Chixia and the foreign liquor store are so bright. It would be a pity if they were unnecessarily disturbed and hit..."

"Don't be stupid. Asking you to come forward and talk to him about this kind of thing is like sending you into a tiger's mouth. Listen to me, since this matter has already happened, the only thing you have to do now is to protect yourself and not have any contact with this person anymore. Cut off all ties. Otherwise, he will definitely get entangled, and things will naturally become more and more troublesome."

"Don't have any more contact. What if he comes as a guest? Besides, he still has tens of millions of dollars in unpaid debts?"

"These are not your concerns. In fact, I was just about to suggest that you hand over Chixia to someone else. Chi Huimei should be ready to start her career, right? Do you want to let her manage it for a while? As for you, you might as well focus on the wine business for the time being. After all, selling champagne and cognac is easier and has greater prospects. And now that we have established a firm foothold in Tokyo, we should try to develop branches in major cities outside Tokyo. You can leave Tokyo for a while, what do you think?"

"But at such a critical moment, how can I escape? What if something happens to Chixia..."

"Don't worry too much. Even if something goes wrong and causes irreparable damage, it's not your responsibility. I'm not someone who can't tell good from bad. I know very well that you are the most wronged victim in this matter. In Kansai dialect, you are just unlucky and 'caught a joker.' As your boss, what I have to do is to protect you and help you stay away from these troubles, instead of blaming you or letting you risk being further entangled by dealing with such a lewd and obscene person."

Maria remained silent, and her facial expression kept changing. It was no wonder.

After all, in the concept of superiors and subordinates in Japanese society, the role of subordinates is to serve and sacrifice for their superiors.

Moreover, the inequality between male and female genders is ubiquitous and subtle.

She had never seen a boss who was so caring towards his subordinates, and could even be said to be doting on them. Naturally, she did not understand the structure of Chinese culture, so she could not help but wonder what Ning Weimin's perspective was.

But no matter what, these words were all for her consideration. She frowned slightly at first, and finally nodded as if she had made up her mind.

"I see. Then I'll prepare as soon as possible."

Seeing that she had finally made up her mind, Ning Weimin finally felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Maria couldn't help but ask softly, "President, do you like me a little? That's why you take care of me like this. I know it's embarrassing to say this, but I have had a good impression of you for a long time. You should know that I am willing to be your lover, even if we keep it underground..."

"Stop it, you shouldn't always make jokes like this."

"Are you kidding? I'm serious. I don't believe you don't have any interest in women. How can a successful person like you be satisfied with just one woman?"

As she spoke, she looked at Ning Weimin with affectionate eyes, and almost leaned her whole body on Ning Weimin.

Ning Weimin was caught off guard and didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would occur. He was almost scared by Takahashi Oshinori's long-awaited good fortune.

"No, no, I have to make it clear to you that this has nothing to do with love between men and women. My appreciation for you is only from the perspective of a partner. To be honest, although you are a great beauty, I am already married. And what is most attractive to me about you is not your femininity, but your business ability. Do you understand? You are a very important business partner to me, not a lover. Don't underestimate yourself..."

"Huh? Is this really true?" Maria still had some doubts.

"It's true." Ning Weimin declared solemnly. I promise."

After staring at each other for a moment, Maria finally restrained her feminine charm.

Then he pretended to be indifferent to eliminate the embarrassment of being rejected.

"Ah, the president is always so cruel to me. Oh, you are such a boring person. If I stay by your side all the time, I am afraid I will lose confidence in myself. Forget it, let's continue talking about boring things. Please wait a moment, I will call Chiemi..."

Ning Weimin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Maria turned into a confident and decisive mama-san and turned around to call for help.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

What is this thing called?

You can’t get what you want, but what you don’t want keeps coming.

I am not Gao Qiao. I really just want you to make money for me, not to marry me... (End of this chapter)
