The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 626: Nanajo Masato's Bizarre Adventure Part
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by having no place to live?" Qian Xiaoyi asked curiously.

"..." Nanajo Masato was a little embarrassed to speak. After a long silence, he finally said, "It means exactly what it says... The villa I originally lived in was sealed by the consortium, and my bank cards and credit cards were all frozen..."

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "So... you are penniless now?"

"..." Nanajo Masato was silent again.

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Where are you now? Why don't you come directly to me?"

"I'm downstairs in the office..." Nanajo Masato said awkwardly.

Qian Xiaoyi got up from the sofa, walked to the window and looked down, then saw Nanajo Masato standing alone downstairs, holding the phone and looking at him awkwardly.

"..." Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Why didn't you call earlier?"

Nanajo Masato said, "Well... I only thought of telling you after I got here. I felt a little embarrassed to just go up there, so..."

"Come up." Qian Xiaoyi sighed. He didn't expect this guy to bring any gifts up.

After opening the door of the office, Nanajo Masato sat on the sofa somewhat awkwardly. It seemed that he had made a great decision to contact Qian Xiaoyi.

After asking Inuyama Heita to pour a cup of tea for Nanajo Masato, Qian Xiaoyi asked, "So what's going on? You've become like this after just one day of not seeing each other?"

Nanajo Masato looked haggard and bewildered at this moment. He said with a dull look in his eyes: "I don't know either... I just rushed to the company yesterday and wanted to see grandpa but was stopped outside the office. Then I don't know what happened, but my position was dismissed. I didn't sleep all night and wanted to go home to rest, but then I was told that my villa was also sealed up, and other assets were also frozen. They said they were under investigation..."

Gurgle~ Nanajo Masato's stomach made a noticeable sound, and he asked awkwardly: "Um...Excuse me, is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten since this morning..."

Qian Xiaoyi was amazed. Even he didn't expect that Shichijo Masato's grandfather would be so thorough. So he asked Inuyama Heita to go to the convenience store across the street and buy an ordinary bento.

After a while, Shichijo Masato frowned and tasted the convenience store bento, which he rarely ate, and commented: "The beef tastes terrible, and the rice is a bit hard..."

"And the amount of beef is too little, isn't it? The side dishes also have an industrial feel. Is this what you usually eat..."

"Oh, forget it. Now is not the time to be picky. Just eat whatever you want..."

"Thank you for the treat. Um...do you have any coffee? I'm not used to drinking tea."

Seeing Shichijo Masato being so picky while eating the full-priced beef bento that they couldn't afford to buy a year ago, Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita narrowed their eyes. It was a good thing that they were kind enough to buy the slightly more expensive one.

By the time Shichijo Masato finished his meal and took a sip of his can of coffee, he looked much better than he had at the beginning.

"Huh~ alive." Nanajo Masato exclaimed.

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "So, you are penniless now? You are the eldest son of the Qijiao Financial Group, but you don't even have money for food?"

Nanajo Masato sighed and explained, "During this period of time in the company, no matter what I wanted to buy, I would call my assistant to buy it for me, so gradually I didn't carry any money with me..." "So you were fired from the consortium?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Where's your salary?"

Nanajo Masato said dryly: "Theoretically, I was not fired, I was just suspended. As for my salary... I spent a lot of money to solve Mr. Jian's problem some time ago, and my daily expenses were all paid by the company's finance department. I have never paid attention to this kind of thing..."

"I understand." Qian Xiaoyi nodded. This means that if calculated based on his usual salary, this young master would probably owe the company several million. Normally, no one would say anything about his behavior. After all, it was his own consortium and it was not up to outsiders to point fingers.

But if we really apply the law, his behavior is indeed in violation of the rules, and it has become an excuse for his current suspension and asset freezing.

But it's not too outrageous. If the president wants to find a way to expel him, there are many ways to do it.

"And my villa..." Nanajo Masato became more and more depressed as he spoke: "After I returned to China, the company has arranged for me to live there. The property rights of the villa and my car have actually always been the company's property. I was just allocated a residence and a business car... It can be said that I have nothing now..."

"Then how did you get here?" Qian Xiaoyi asked, "Did you walk here?"

"I took the subway. Director Tamura gave me the money..." Nanajo Masato said helplessly, "When I was kicked out, Director Tamura secretly gave me 10,000 yen... Now all the employees at the company have received a notice that they are conducting an economic investigation into my situation and are not allowed to assist me in any form. It was Director Tamura who pretended to drop the money when he went downstairs to smoke..."

Speaking of director Tamura, Qian Xiaoyi recalled the time when he was filming the show. It seems that he is doing well after WTV's reform.

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Since you have money, why don't you buy something to eat?"

"It happened so suddenly that I forgot about it." Nanajo Masato said, "I just remembered it, so I thought of coming to your place to eat something..."

"So you're here to eat and drink for free?" Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly, "Don't forget, you still owe me 100 million yuan in commissions!"

"It's 90 million yen." Shichijo Masato put his hands together, bowed his head and begged, "Please, I have nowhere else to go! Let me stay for a few days, I will leave after I make money. When I regain my position, I will definitely pay you back tenfold!"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "I say, honest man... How many more cakes are you going to draw for me to eat? I'm tired of them."

"An empty promise?" Qijo Masato looked puzzled.

Qian Xiaoyi explained: "Drawing cakes to appease hunger is a Chinese idiom. It's easy to understand, right?"

"I'm not making empty promises!" Shichijo Masato clenched his fists and said with a determined look in his eyes: "Even if I'm kicked out, I'm still the heir to the consortium! And with my status, I believe there will definitely be people who will invest in me. Even if I don't return to the consortium, I can still create a career with my own abilities!"

"Investment?" Qian Xiaoyi thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Is it the kind of investment that says, 'Hello, I'm Nanajo Masato, the sole heir of the Nanajo Group. I was kicked out of the group by a traitor, and my tens of billions of assets have been frozen. Now you just need to give me 10,000 yen, and when I get my position back, I'll make you the CEO of the group, and I'll give you a large reward after the success!'?"

"..." Inuyama Heita had a strange expression on his face. He had received this kind of fraudulent text messages several times. Would anyone really fall for it?
"It's not a scam text message!" Nanajo Masato was angry: "I am the real heir to the Nanajo Group!"

Then, he said to Qian Xiaoyi: "Can you lend me 10,000 yen? I will pay you back double in the future. You can be the CEO if you want."

"And they said it wasn't a scam text message!" Qian Xiaoyi complained.
