different warring states of japan

Chapter 2225 Finale 21

Ashikaga Reiko thought she had offered favorable conditions that Yoshikin could not refuse, and given his current situation in life, he had no reason to refuse her.

But when she looked at Yiyin confidently, waiting for his agreement, she found that Yiyin's expression became calm and firm.

Yiyin said.

"My parents once told me that I should be an independent person and not expect happiness that I cannot grasp, because all good things in this world have a price tag.

Dependence on others is not a fair relationship. It has no self-worth and is not an equal exchange, which means that the relationship between the two parties is unequal.

It is the greatest irresponsibility to make your life dependent on the promises of others in order to obtain happiness that you cannot control.

So I'm sorry, but I refuse."

Ashikaga Reiko narrowed her eyes and her face became embarrassed. She looked at him carefully, as if she saw him from her previous life again.

It's you, it's really you.

The past events came to her mind. The infatuation and setbacks in her previous life once again shattered Ashikaga Reiko's sense of superiority, making it impossible for her to calmly look down at the seemingly irresistible intern in front of her.

She was so angry that she seemed to have turned into a wounded female beast. At this moment, she took off her gentle mask and growled fiercely in Yiyin's ear.

"Who allowed you to reject me? How dare you reject me... You are mine, you belong to me!"

Yiyin wanted to struggle, but the feeling of their close contact made the young man's body involuntarily react normally.

Feeling the changes below, they were both stunned at the same time. Ashikaga Reiko smiled meaningfully, while Yoshigin blushed with shame.

Ashikaga Reiko laughed softly.

"You say it very well, but in your heart... hehe..."

Yiyin shook his head.

"No, that's not what I meant, don't get me wrong!"

Ashikaga Reiko lowered her head and blew on Yoshigin's earlobe. Yoshigin instantly became half numb and his body softened. Ashikaga Reiko smiled.

"Misunderstanding... There is no misunderstanding..."

---

Tanaka looked at the clock on the wall of his office, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

This guy is slacking off again. I just warned him. He really doesn't take me seriously. How hateful.

He picked up the phone and dialed Yiyin's cell phone number. The ringing lasted for a long time but no one answered. Just when Tanaka was about to lose his patience and was about to hang up, the call was connected.

"Damn it! Where have you been, Shiba Yoshigin?! There is an important matter here that requires the attendance of all members of my team. If I don't see you within ten minutes, you can just resign on your own!"

"Yes...I'm sorry...I...I'll be there right away..."

Yiyin's voice was filled with heavy breathing, and there were other noises faintly in the phone, like a woman's moan.

Tanaka's face turned pale, he hung up the phone angrily and cursed.

"Asshole! Looking for it during work hours... You really don't know how to live or die! You are done! I guarantee that you will be finished this time!"

Yiyin did not return after delivering documents twice. I smelled alcohol and perfume on him yesterday, and today's phone call further confirmed his misconduct.

Tanaka was 100% sure that this intern would be fired today and would be kicked out completely.

Although he successfully completed the task assigned by his superiors, Tanaka couldn't be happy at the moment. He felt that this intern challenged his authority and dignity as a team leader.

Under the strict hierarchical concept of the island nation, Tanaka felt seriously offended. Even though he could successfully drive away Yoshikin Sasaki and achieve his goal, he was still very angry.

The subordinate in the distance came over and said.

"Team leader, the minister has urged us to go down quickly."

Tanaka nodded.

"Let's go down."

"That...that Shiba..."

"Humph."

——— When Yiyin hurried to the lobby downstairs, everyone's eyes were on him, making him break out in a cold sweat.

He rushed back to the office as quickly as possible, but Tanaka did not wait for him, and did not even tell him to gather in the lobby downstairs. By the time Yiyin asked about the situation and went downstairs, it was too late.

At this moment, a group of employees led by Minister Matsunaga were waiting for something solemnly in the lobby, and Yiyin, who was late, stood out particularly.

He knew that something was wrong, so he could only bow deeply and stand behind Tanaka.

Tanaka watched his embarrassment out of the corner of his eye and felt somewhat happy.

Minister Matsunaga looked back at Tanaka, who bowed slightly in flattery. The two of them made eye contact and then looked away, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Tanaka was 100% sure that Yoshigin Sasaki's career at Ashikaga Corporation would come to an end today.

Young man, society is not as simple as school. You still have a lot to learn. Just get out of here crying.

Tian Xin was still secretly delighted when he heard Minister Matsunaga say in a deep voice.

"coming."

A business car stopped outside the lobby. The doorman hurried forward to open the door, and a young lady got out of the car.

She was wearing a women's suit, dressed like a smart and strong professional woman, but it couldn't conceal her youthful and beautiful spirit. Her facial features were delicate and serious.

Minister Matsunaga gave a polite smile, bowed slightly, and extended his hand.

"Ms. Ii, welcome to the headquarters of Ashikaga Corporation. I am Matsunaga from the Internet Promotion Department. Director Miyoshi is waiting for your interview."

The young lady called Miss Ii shook the hand that Minister Matsunaga extended to her as a courtesy, but seemed a little unhappy when she saw that there were many people standing behind Minister Matsunaga.

“Minister Matsunaga is too polite. I am only here to fulfill the interview that we both agreed upon. There is no need for such a grand ceremony.

The lobby is a public area, and it's not a good idea for so many of us to block the pedestrian passage. What do you think?"

Matsunaga smiled awkwardly.

He had long heard of Miss Ii's straightforward temper, but he didn't expect that she would really not give him any face at all.

Ms. Ii is currently the most influential independent journalist on the island country's Internet and is the uncrowned king known for her in-depth research on various sensitive topics.

After a new conflict broke out in eastern Central Asia not long ago, she boldly interviewed Ms. Shigenobu, an expert on related issues who was feared by the island government.

She became famous for disclosing a large amount of sensitive inside information to the public through the Internet, and her influence reached new heights. She also became the news queen that made people in and out of the political arena grit their teeth.

Now within Ashikaga Corporation, the young and energetic Ashikaga Reiko holds power, and the conflict between her and the veteran faction led by Director Miyoshi is becoming increasingly fierce.

Minister Matsunaga used a lot of connections to facilitate this interview between Ii Tamaki and Director Miyoshi in order to build momentum for the veteran faction.

But it seems that this Ii Kan is even more difficult to get along with than the legend says. As soon as they met, she mocked Minister Matsunaga's warm welcome.

Minister Matsunaga was naturally uncomfortable being contradicted by the young man, but as an experienced person he would not show his dissatisfaction at this moment, and just smiled.

"Since Miss Ii doesn't like noise, let's all go our separate ways."

While the two of them exchanged a few brief words, Yiyin in the waiting line was staring blankly at Ii Huan's face, not because she was young and beautiful, but because he was familiar with her.

Yiyin still remembers the expression on Ii Kan's face when she failed to confess her love to him during graduation, and what she said before she left.

I don't say goodbye, nor do I make any promises with you. I think we will meet again.

Minister Matsunaga asked everyone to disperse, but Yoshigane was thinking about something and did not react immediately.

He stood there in a daze, standing out from the crowd as others were leaving, attracting everyone's attention, including Ii Huan.

Tanaka frowned and started to scold.

"Asshole, it's you again, what the hell..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing Yihuan's originally cold expression became lively at this moment. She took a step forward, squinted her eyes at Yiyin, who looked a little silly, and giggled.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yiyin smiled bitterly.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Senior..."
