Who are you scolding for eating soft rice?

Chapter 86. Propose Marriage, You Must Propose Marriage to Him

In the early morning of the next day, the dark clouds kept rolling, the wind roared, and the windows were buzzed by the strong wind.

In early June, a typhoon generated by a tropical low-pressure cyclone in the Pacific struck from the sea and headed straight for Yokohama, bringing strong winds and rain to most parts of eastern Japan, especially the Tokyo metropolitan area. The Fire and Disaster Management Bureau has issued a flood and mountain hazard warning Landslide warning, it is currently very likely that the typhoon will make landfall.

Yesterday evening there was a brilliant sunset.

After just one night, when I woke up today, the entire Kanto region was shrouded in the shadow of strong winds and rain.

Takitanizawa casually took a photo outside the dark window in his living room and sent it to Qingyi Koizumi via LINE, asking her to be honest and stop running around. This kid was so crazy yesterday that he screamed again for the first time. Brother Ze himself said that he wanted to hang out with him, so he should be more honest now.

In fact, it's not that he didn't hear the noisy girls over there yesterday through the microphone, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew that he must be shopping for her to make trouble.

But it's normal for little girls to like to make random guesses. He just pays employee benefits and does his own thing.

He had just finished sending the message, saw Qingyi Koizumi's expression in seconds, and was about to tell her not to take it seriously, when suddenly the door opened, and a familiar voice came from his ear: "This damn weather is really terrible!" I'm so mad! The sewer is blocked and we don't have any tools, so I can only pick up the garbage with my hands!"

Takitani Ze looked up, and it was Takitani Chun who was wearing a black raincoat and rain boots. He was still dripping with rainwater and looked a little embarrassed. His black hair was stuck to his forehead and there were a lot of dirt on his hands. mud.

Checking the sewers in rainy weather like this, or checking the aging of the lines in hot weather, are all the work of the township self-government committee. Although Takiya Tsubaki is not a member of the township self-government committee, she is still well-known as a policeman in the town. What's more, she is not too young now, and she will call her for good and bad things basically. If there is no accident, if she retires in the future, she can be the chairman or vice-chairman of the self-government committee in Honcho.

Takiyazawa gathered his thoughts and took out the lunch box from the microwave: "Go and wash your hands first. I've prepared breakfast, but isn't sister going to work today?"

"No more, I'm on the night shift." Tsubaki Takiya bundled the umbrella into the umbrella barrel with a sullen voice.

Takiguzawa was a little surprised when he heard this.

Since my sister was promoted to the police department, she has been full of energy every day, just like the residual blood has taken a big dose of tonic. She got up early and drove her small broken car to the police station before dawn. .

They go early and return late, and sometimes they work overtime for free. It can be said that they are the favorite employees of every boss who should be suspended from street lights. They can't run out of energy.

If he didn't say anything else, but just said in a bad tone that he would not go to work, Takiguzawa could still think that he was unhappy at being used as coolies by the grandmothers of the town and district self-government committee, but in the sentence of shifting to work at night , the meaning of leakage is a little different.

The Omiya District Police Station is small in scale, and the director is only at the police level, and the police department is no longer an employee.

Like the original Kazama Sukeda, as the head of the General Affairs Section, he was just a member of the police department. Now that he has been promoted to a police officer and transferred to the prefectural police headquarters, he is enough to serve as the director or management officer of a certain section. This is a section. The second-in-command is already an absolute middle-level person.

After being promoted to the police department, Takiya Tsubaki also served as the director of the Town House Management Office of the General Affairs Division of the Omiya Ward Police Station.

Although according to the normal process, one needs to have four years of work experience during the supplementary period of the police department to be promoted from the police department to the police department, but everything can be operated, and even if it cannot be operated, it must be a police officer before retirement.

Like her current position, it is reasonable to say that she no longer needs to be on the night shift anymore. Everyone knows that night shift is not a good job. Staying up late hurts her body and can't recover for a day or two. Even the middle management needs to take turns to be on duty, but she has obviously been a little frequent recently.

Of course, it may be that he is overthinking it. After all, the lower-level units never follow procedures.

Takiguzawa also just asked casually: "Is something not going well at work? Why have you been on the night shift for the past two or three days? Or did something happen recently?"

"It's okay, nothing went wrong."

Takitani Chun changed his clothes, his expression was still a little gloomy, but his words were a bit evasive.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Takitani Ze probably knew in his heart that there must be a problem, but it was not about other things, it must be interpersonal relationships, so he simply asked directly: "Is there a conflict with the new section chief?"

Hearing him ask so bluntly, Tsubaki Takiya's delicate doll's face couldn't help showing hesitation.

After a while ago, my brother explained several times.

In addition to helping her get promoted, in fact Tsubaki Takiya no longer treats her younger brother as a child, but the sudden change made her a little uncomfortable, so she didn't tell the truth just now.

She actually figured it out these days.

Family members are always the ones you can talk to.

In the past, when mom and dad were still alive, they would tell each other about things that were not going well at work, and they would even tell themselves, not hoping to get any help or good advice, purely because only parents can express their emotions without worries.

Thinking of this, she didn't want to hide it anymore.

"It's not a contradiction, it's just that Section Chief Inoue is a bit rigid and contemptuous of others." Tsubaki Takiya complained in a low voice.

"Look down on people?" Takiguzawa asked in surprise.

Takitani Chun seemed to remember something, nodded heavily, no longer covered up, and said angrily: "He looks down on people from the professional team."

"Is this Mr. Jing very old?"

Takitani Ze continued to ask thoughtfully.

Taking the beef rice bowl bento brought by his brother, Takitani Tsubaki opened the lid and mixed it with a spoon. He explained: "Professor Ino is over 50 years old, and he will be ready in about three or four years." He should be retiring, he has been working in the Criminal Division before."

Takitani Ze rubbed his chin, thought carefully about the current information, and soon had a rough answer.

Look down on professional group backgrounds.

I became a principal in my 50s.

I have been in the criminal class before.

When these key words are strung together, Takiguzawa directly comes up with a depressed appearance in the non-professional group in his mind. He has worked in the front line of the criminal department for many years and suffered a lot. He finally climbed up, but found that his end point was someone else. From the starting point, under the psychological imbalance, there will be intentional difficulties later.

After all, according to the normal process, it is impossible for the quasi-professional team to reach the police department in their 50s, especially in a place like the criminal department where it is easy to mix seniority.

Who said that the task of the criminal class is enough?
Among the professional teams at the county police headquarters and the criminal department of the Metropolitan Police Department, who is not dragged along by his superiors to have a good time and have a good time?How can I have time to go to the front line for field work? Even if I go, I will sit in a car or stand far behind to direct, without even being exposed to the sun.

In short, the situation should not deviate too much from what he thought. At most, he is not a bad person.

As for whether my sister has any problems.
As long as the earth doesn't explode, she can't wait to shine and heat herself to the point of death from overwork in her job. With her straightforward mind and no calculations, Takiguzawa doesn't think there will be any bad things about her elder sister.

The most we can say is that she doesn't understand the ways of the world.

After all, as long as she puts on a subordinate's attitude to please one or two, she will definitely not make things difficult again, unless her new section chief is too old-fashioned to have the guts to offend a promising junior.

And I can't stop this junior's future.

As if the conversation had started, Takitani Chun complained a lot to him, but most of what she said next was from her colleagues. After all, she had just become an official, so she didn't understand many things, and a lot of embarrassing things had happened recently.

There are still some parents who are short-sighted.

For example, today, when I went fishing with a few grandmas from the town and district self-government committee, they kept praising her for being young, just to make her go fishing in dirty water.

In fact, a lot of thought and calculation.

She knows everything, she just doesn't want to do it, she's not stupid!
For the sake of face and being unable to resist the sugar-coated bullets in other people's language, most of the time Tsubaki can only do the dirty work with tears in her eyes, but sometimes she is willing to do this, and she is glowing with self-comfort.

Takiguzawa listened quietly with a smile, until she finished talking, then got up and brought her another cup of hot milk, and said, "I'm going out first."

"It's so big outside, why are you going out?"

Takiya Tsubaki asked with some doubts.

It was so windy and rainy outside, if she hadn't practiced her core strength before, she might have been blown crooked when checking the sewer, and several grandmas couldn't walk straight just now.

Takiguzawa pondered for a moment, and felt that it was almost time, so he explained: "I have business to discuss."

"Then you drive my car." Now Takitani Chun no longer asks about his business. She feels that as long as her brother is happy, she can do whatever he wants. In fact, until now, her brother's remarks that he wanted to be a softie have made her uncomfortable. There is lingering fear in my heart, fearing that I will say something wrong about my career and force my younger brother to wash the old aunt's feet. If I don't have time, I might as well wash her feet.

"No, I have a car." Takitani Ze said with a smile when he had already walked to the entrance to change his shoes and took the umbrella.

"Oh, okay, then you go." Takitani Chun was recalling the past, thinking that it would be great if she could have another niece or nephew, but she was also worried about the type of brother she liked. When she saw Akikawa Ai, she was already perfect. However, as the wife was thinking about it, she suddenly reacted. She turned her head towards the entrance with a sharp look, opened her mouth and said in shock: "You have a car!?"

But Takiyazawa had already gone out.

The only response to her was the crisp sound of closing the door.

Takitani Chun ran over quickly and saw his brother get into a black car through the glass. Even through a layer of diagonally blowing rain, he could barely see the three-pointed star logo in the middle of the car's butt.

She pressed her hands on the glass, and Tsubaki Takiya's unbelievable expression was clearly reflected.

do not know why.

Tsubaki Takiya felt that his younger brother was very strange now.

She likes old cows to eat tender grass, and has fallen in love with other people's little girls. She used to go to a foot bath shop to massage the feet of those old aunties, and now she even drives in a car.

Where did he get so much money! ?

Is it
Takitani Chun shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore. She pressed her chest with her hands and tried her best to calm her disordered breathing. There was even a touch of pallor with lingering fear on her fair baby face. It wasn't until a long time later that she felt like she was in another world. He sat down softly.

Eat young grass, eat young grass.

It's better than committing yourself to that kind of old aunt.

Thinking of Aunt Miko's vague intentions to test her these days, and Aunt Oguri also mentioned her younger brother's life-long event when she called on the phone two days ago.

Takitani Chun's eyes gradually became firmer, and he clenched his fists, silently making some kind of determination.

Propose marriage!Must propose marriage!
She turned around and walked back to the living room, took out her cell phone from her jacket pocket, opened the address book and swiped quickly with her fingers. After finding the number, she dialed it directly.

Soon there were voices in the living room again.

On the other side, Takiguzawa, who had already left the door, sat in the car, turned on the high-frequency wipers and drove slowly out of his home town, heading in the direction of the navigation.

Today is Tuesday, a working day.

It's also the morning rush hour.

Even though there are few people in Saitama, there are still traffic jams on the main roads of the city. It seems that the strong wind has broken some wires, and the traffic lights are not working. At this moment, the sound of horns is endless, and there are traffic policemen wearing fluorescent coats in the wind and rain. Directing traffic with a stick.

He happened to be passing a station on a tram line.

Umbrellas gathered like a sea, and they crowded towards the underground passage. This is the tram to Tokyo. It is the most crowded at this time. There are many people running in the rain carrying leather briefcases, all of them are forced to make ends meet.

The destination of Takiyazawa is a company.

In fact, it is the family business of Akira Shirakawa. He made an appointment today with his father to discuss the joint venture with the Agricultural Cooperative. The former called him last night and said that the formalities have been completed and the process is going very fast. As long as Takiguzawa goes to cover This chapter is a member of the Agricultural Association.

That's probably the benefit of having a relationship.

It may also be because money is very face-saving.

After all, he is the one who injects capital.

The headquarters of the Shirakawa family is in Urawa District. After an hour-long traffic jam, Takitanizawa finally drove the less than ten kilometers and parked the car in the parking lot of the Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. complex. Follow the navigation to the building.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the main building, Bai Chuan Mingsi with flowing yellow hair greeted him, and took the umbrella in his hand with a look of graciousness: "Ah Ze, you are finally here, if it weren't for the traffic jam, I would have wanted to pick you up." gone."

Takitani Ze was a little confused by his attitude, so he just smiled and asked, "Are you so polite today?" Shirakawa Akitsu waved to the front desk, took a cup of hot water and stuffed it into Takitani Ze's hand, and said with a smile: "What does it mean to be polite? I am so polite to everyone who invests money. What's more, you have accomplished what I couldn't accomplish. I really admire you."

"What was it that you failed to accomplish?"

"That's the thing."

"What's the matter? Don't be dumb."

As they walked, they talked. Takitanizawa also knew why Shirakawa Akiji was so attentive, and why he went through the procedures to enter the agricultural cooperative so quickly. They were just two things.

One of them is the matter of Ishikawa Satomi.

As a notorious green tea in Shirakawa Mingji's circle that no one dared to approach, Takitanizawa's stay at her house was officially certified, and Shirakawa Mingji admired it after repeated shocks.

At that time, Takiyazawa took photos and videos.

But who believes this in the Internet age.

Akitsugu Shirakawa also had a party with friends in the evening after finishing business in Tokyo the day before yesterday. He tested Ishikawa Satomi out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, he got a positive answer. He was immediately stunned.

Just the reputation of Ishikawa Satomi, coupled with the aura that is basically difficult to conquer with external force, is enough to make people in their circle lose interest in it.

It's not that I don't want to, but I'm a little scared.

And since he joined the circle, apart from catching rumors about the past, Akiji Shirakawa has never heard of any man that Ishikawa Satomi stayed out with. At most, he dated some unknown men and got bumped into, and there were many others. up.

But now?The once dull and honest Takitanizawa was defeated like this?This progress is too fast!
Of course, this is just joking courtesy.

After all, we are all adults. Anyone who completely trusts someone who has a bad relationship is a pure idiot. Therefore, he still had doubts about the relationship between Takitani Ze and Ishikawa Satomi, and originally wanted to give some advice. But he recently discovered that Takitani Ze was much more assertive than before, so he stopped paying attention. What really made him attentive was the capital injection.

According to Shirakawa Akiji's words, in the past two days, his father's meager Mediterranean Sea is about to wither.

Especially blame this coming typhoon!

Originally, due to last year's cold wave, the agricultural association of the county headquarters had already suffered heavy losses, and urgently needed a joint venture to save the decline of the past two years, but this time the weather was not good.

The Fire and Disaster Management Bureau gave a computer-simulated route for the typhoon to sweep after it landed, and it happened to pass by Saitama.

To be precise, it is Tokyo and Yamanashi Prefecture.

However, the tail of the typhoon is very likely to hit several agriculturally developed areas such as Kawagoe City and Hanno City in Kashiyama City. Although the disaster is not expected to be serious, as long as it passes by, it will be a loss, and the loss will be money!

Then who dares to come here and inject capital now?
Originally, the Agricultural Cooperative has not been doing well in recent years, and its status has gradually become embarrassing. However, Mingji Shirakawa's father happened to be the director in charge of investment in the agricultural business. natural disaster.

After all, the Agricultural Association is a huge group.

Agriculture is at its worst at the moment.

Japan's food self-sufficiency rate has been low for a long time, and the import dependence rate of agricultural products is close to two-thirds. Coupled with the continuous development of aging population, young people rarely choose to engage in agricultural work. This trend has been contradictory since the end of the [-]th century. The financial income of the business has been in deficit for many years, and it needs loans from the Nonghyup Bank related to the financial business to make up for it.

Nonghyup is not subject to antitrust laws.

It is true that it can set prices at will, and it is also true that it can prevent ordinary companies from competing fairly in front of agricultural cooperatives.

But what if the consortium intervenes?

Foreign-funded enterprises have also been encroaching.

The current Agricultural Cooperative is still huge, but there is also an air of twilight that lingers. It is a typical company that has passed its glory days, but a emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. No one wants to provoke it, but they also want to watch it weaken day by day.

In fact, it has nothing to do with them.

The main reason is that Shirakawa Akitsugu's father happens to be in charge of this sector, so he has a headache, and it also involves his own personal interests. Otherwise, it is not his direct business. Even if the ball is kicked with bare feet, it is better than the one thrown by the Koshien baseball player. Baseball is fast.

In fact, speaking of this, Akiji Shirakawa himself knew that it was not a good choice to spend a large amount of working capital on the agricultural business. Although he wanted to cheat everyone more than anyone else, Takiguzawa was different.

Bai Chuan Mingsi suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face straightened a bit and he said, "Ah Ze, I don't want to lie to you either. In fact, I don't know if I will make money or lose money if I invest this money. I can only say that if you want to make money, you have to see What's the weather going to be like next, don't mind me if you want to give up, just tell me."

Takiguzawa knew that he had good intentions, but he didn't want to make money, so he simply patted him and said with a smile: "It's okay, there are profits and losses in business."

"And this matter has been discussed before."

"What's more, my father's third uncle's son's cousin left me a lot of inheritance. This is nothing. If you feel that you have treated me badly, then you can ask your father to help me organize activities and choose a member of parliament as I said before."

Shirakawa Akiji was slightly moved when he saw this. He felt that Takitanizawa was willing to help him because he knew that he would probably lose money. He was emotionally strong enough to refuse this kindness, but his adult rationality told him that he could not refuse. In the end, I could only smile reluctantly and didn't reply, but I remembered this kindness.

As for the nonsense about the inheritance of the cousin of Takitanawa's father's third uncle's son, he simply ignored it.

But helping with activities has nothing to do with it.
Shirakawa Akitsugu mentioned it to his father the day before yesterday, and it seemed that it was not impossible. However, the old man felt that Takitanizawa's capital injection was small at the time, and it was not used as a political donation. It was not worthwhile to exchange this resource, but this typhoon came just in time. After scaring away so many people at once, Takitanizawa's funds seemed a bit precious. In addition, he said some nice words and persuaded his mother to talk about it. This matter has great potential.

He thought about the certainty of this matter in his mind, led Takiguzawa to the door of an office, turned around and introduced: "This is the old man's office."

Takiguzawa nodded and followed behind him.

After symbolically knocking on the door twice, Shirakawa Akiji didn't wait for the person inside to respond. He opened the door and led him in. What he saw was an ornamental fish tank about three meters long. There was also a fish tank hanging on the main seat of the office. Takitanizawa raised his eyebrows slightly as he read the simple and simple Chinese character "God will reward those who work hard". He felt that many people liked the word "God will reward those who work hard".

The people at the main desk in the office noticed the movement and looked up. Shirakawa Akiji stood still in front of the long table and introduced with a smile: "Dad, this is my friend Takitani Ze. Azawa, this is my dad Shirakawa Arima." .”

"Hello, Uncle Shirakawa." Takiguzawa always respected his elders, and smiled and reached out to hold them.

Bai Chuan Arima has no airs, his thick eyebrows and square face are very masculine, and the expression on his face is as gentle as that of ordinary elders, except that his head is shining under the light, and only a circle of not too thick hair surrounds Gudao: "Hello, I I often hear this stinky brat talk about your child, take this as your own home, and sit wherever you want."

"You're too polite." Takitanizawa let go of the other person's hand and sat down at Shirakawa Akiji's signal.

Then it was a family-like exchange of pleasantries.

But there was no process of handing out business cards to each other, and I don't know if Shirakawa Arima really regarded him as an elder or had forgotten about it. He never mentioned the purpose of Takitani Ze's visit this time, and basically asked about his family situation.

We talked for a long time and still didn't talk about it.

Not to mention Takiguzawa, even Akira Shirakawa felt that something was wrong, not because his father had forgotten, but because he didn't seem to have any hope for this matter.

Takiguzawa understood after a little thought. After all, Zhizi Mo Ruofu, with Akira Shirakawa's usual cynical attitude, let alone being able to help the family at such a time, it is estimated that everything will be fine for his father without causing trouble. After learning that my family is ordinary, I guess I can't come up with tens of millions of yen in working capital, and I won't be disappointed if I don't hold out hope.

In general, the chat was very polite to each other, until the conversation reached a point where I didn’t know what to say, Shirakawa Arima sat on the office chair and cut to the chase after a few seconds of silence: "Ozawa, do you mind if I call you this?"

"You can do whatever you want, I don't mind."

"The reason for your visit this time, Ming Si, has already told me, but uncle also wants to tell you that investing in anything is risky, and the agricultural development is indeed not doing well right now, so you have to think carefully before making a decision." Bai Chuan said Ma's face was serious, without the gentleness just now, and his aura became serious.

Takiguzawa was not guilty of having money in his hand, so he nodded and said, "I've already considered this matter."

Bai Chuan Arima was silent for a moment, always feeling that the young man spoke too casually. On the one hand, he still had some doubts about his son. After a while, he took out two documents from the drawer and handed them over: "Since you have considered it, uncle I won’t persuade you any more, this is the letter of proposal for cooperation, and the project’s equity allocation system, you can take it back and have a look, if there is no problem, we can discuss the amount of funds.”

"Ming Si told me about this before, I can just take it back and keep a copy, let's talk about the capital injection issue directly." Long Guze said straight to the point.

Bai Chuan Arima frowned. Even with his experience, he was still a little uncertain whether the young man in front of him was telling the truth or not. After pondering for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Then how much money do you plan to invest, Ozawa?"

"One hundred million yen." Takitani Ze said with a smile.

When the voice fell, Arima Shirakawa, who was sitting in the office chair, had not moved yet. Akitsugu Shirakawa, who had been acting as a transparent person next to him, jumped up, his jaw almost dropped, and he couldn't help shouting: "One hundred million!?"

This number is different from what he said!

Didn’t we agree on 5000 million yen?

How did it become [-] million again?

Does the cousin of your father's third uncle's son still recognize his son down there?Count me in, okay?
Mingji Shirakawa's face was distorted, and he almost turned into lemon essence on the spot. Unlike his father, he still had doubts about Takitani Ze. He knew that his friend would never joke about this matter, but the more the facts, the more sour he felt inside. Although I don't know what kind of prize Takiguzawa won, but it's right to be jealous.

Compared with his son's shock, Shirakawa Arima, the director of the Agricultural Cooperative, only caused a little disturbance. [-] million yen may be a lot to others, but it is not a particularly large amount to him, but it can indeed solve the urgent need. And it still seems to be true now.

Even if there is hope in his heart, Shirakawa Arima, who has been ups and downs in the business world for decades, can hold his breath at any time, knowing that there may always be changes until the last moment, so the surface is still calm.

But then, Takiguzawa seemed to have guessed the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile that after the capital verification could be done on the spot, Shirakawa Arima's doubts disappeared.

However, he was happy. Arima Shirakawa saw his son jumping up and down because of the [-] million yen. He frowned and scolded: "You kid, you have already entered the society and you are still so frivolous. You don't yell when guests come. Not even a cup of hot tea, what are you talking about?"

He took out a can of tea without outer packaging from the drawer, handed it directly to Shirakawa Akitsugu, and said in a serious voice: "Tea, serve tea, serve good tea!"

After being reprimanded like this, Bai Chuan Mingsi immediately became a lot more honest, and took it to make tea with a sullen expression on his face.

However, he himself was slandering in his heart.

When I and Aze came here just now, I didn't even have a cup of hot water. Seeing that someone could spend [-] million yen, I immediately took out the tea leaves from my collection. It really changed my face faster than flipping through a book, and it didn't bring any embarrassment.

Even though he said that, Shirakawa Mingji was still not so unrestrained in front of his father, and immediately went to make tea, and let the two of them discuss this matter by themselves.

After a while, he honestly came back from the tea room with a tray, and then brought one of the cups to his father: "Dad, drink tea."

"Bring a drink to Mr. Ozawa." Shirakawa Arima was chatting happily with Takiyazawa. Just a few minutes ago, he had already confirmed that the young man in front of him did have the ability to spend [-] million yen. By the way, he looked at this idiot son. It's quite pleasing to the eye, but I still have to warn you.

Akiji Shirakawa served tea to Takitanizawa as promised.

However, when he saw the two of them chatting happily, he suddenly remembered something he had done two days ago, and felt that now seemed like a good time to confess. He coughed twice and said to his father with a dry smile:

"Dad, when I was with you in Tokyo the day before yesterday, I always heard you coughing. Did you smoke too much recently?"

Shirakawa Arima took a sip of tea and felt the taste was refreshing. After talking about a good business, the tea was even more flavorful than before. He suddenly heard that his son cared about him. Although it felt a little strange, he was still a little relieved. He smiled and said: "It's okay. ,got used to."

"You'd better smoke less. Mom also said that she wants to travel around the world with you when you retire. My sister is still young now, so you'd better smoke less and pay more attention to your health."

Seeing that the old man was happy, Shirakawa Akiji felt a little calmer, and he quickly pursued the victory and continued to care.

"Okay, I'll smoke less."

"Uh, since you smoke less, can I take the peace cigarettes in the trunk of your car?"

Shirakawa Arima's old face was stunned. As a mature man, he immediately understood why his son suddenly cared about him. But today, this matter was done very well. Even though he was happy, he didn't care: "You brat, go get it."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he received an unexpected answer, because Akira Shirakawa showed a shy smile: "I've already taken it."

"How much did you take?" Seeing his son's smile, Shirakawa Arima suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"That's the box."

"How many!?"

Shirakawa Arima's eyes suddenly widened, his originally gentle face darkened visibly, and his right hand unconsciously touched the leather belt around his waist.
