Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 50. Peel off the appearance to see the essence

"This is what I should do."

Takagi Yuriko spoke calmly and shook her head slightly.

Hearing this, Liu Yuansheng raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Takagi Yuriko. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Takagi Yuriko became a lot colder.

Although the two of them are in a trading relationship, they work together after all, and they will see each other every day. Liu Yuansheng still hopes to have a good relationship with Takagi Yuriko.

"Madam, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to offer them. Gaocheng Manor cannot be managed without you. I trust you more than an unfamiliar outsider."

The so-called outsider naturally does not refer to Minami Rika, but is a reminder to Takagi Yuriko that he has no intention of dividing her power.

Liu Yuansheng's proposal to set up a gun-carrying team undoubtedly touched the chord in Takagi Yuriko's heart.

Yuriko Takagi was able to rise from a commoner to the lady of the Takagi family through her own abilities, so naturally she had more thoughts than ordinary people.

She saw at a glance that although the plan proposed by Liu Yuansheng made the defense plan of Gaocheng Manor clearer, it also could not conceal its purpose of checking and weakening the strength of the Gaocheng Guard.

If he can weaken the Guard today, will he weaken himself tomorrow?

Thinking of this, Takagi Yuriko couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She felt uneasy and a little bitter at the same time.

But she had no right to blame Liu Yuansheng, because if it were her, she would do the same.

As for Liu Yuansheng's words, she did not take them seriously. Promises are cheap and fragile, and the only thing that constrains them is the illusory moral conscience. In today's society, even contracts have lost their binding power. For her to believe in so-called promises is like believing that a sow can climb a tree.

After all, the only one you can rely on is yourself.

Takagi Yuriko looked normal, showing no signs of abnormality. Instead, she thought about it carefully and humanely before shaking her head and saying:

"Mr. Liu has been very thoughtful. This is all we can do for now."

"If there is nothing else, I will go back and sort out the information of the victims' families and customize the selection plan for the guard team.

I will try to hand over the plan to Mr. Liu before the main gate construction is completed."

Liu Yuansheng sighed slightly, knowing that Takagi Yuriko didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Takagi Yuriko didn't understand his subtext.

After all, they were close friends, but they didn't even have this little trust. This really chilled Liu Yuansheng's heart.

It seems that the only option is to use corporal punishment.

"Don't worry. I've only been in Gaocheng Manor for less than two days and haven't been to the office yet. Would you like to take me on a tour, Madam?"

Takagi Yuriko looked at Liu Yuansheng with some confusion in her beautiful eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded and agreed.

The office is located in the back half of the castle. Passing through the corridor on the first floor of the main hall is the office area of ​​the manor.

As the mayor of Keishu City, Soichiro Takagi has a lot of reports and documents to approve. The adjustments and planning of some commercial streets or residential areas need to be approved here.

Offices, conference rooms and data rooms are all available.

“This is the daily office for managers.”

Takagi Yuriko brought Yanagi Gensei to the door of a room and pushed it open.

What comes into view is a mahogany desk with some simple books, pen holder and ink on it. The desk is kept clean.

Behind him is a huge red sun flag with a white background.

In front of the mahogany desk were six neatly arranged tables and chairs, each with a desk lamp on it. Surrounding it were five or six wooden glass filing cabinets.

The whole room is decorated in a retro and sophisticated style.

"Is this the office that Takagi Soichiro used to work in?"

Liu Yuansheng walked into the room and looked around with interest. Takagi Yuriko stood at the door gracefully with her hands on her abdomen, looking at the room in front of her, with a complex look in her eyes.

"Hi."

Takagi Yuriko covered her beautiful eyes, obviously unwilling to say more.

Liu Yuansheng didn't care. He walked to Takagi Soichiro's desk and sat down.

He reached out and pulled out a book from the table, flipping through it casually. There were some annotations and notes written in black pen on the pages. It was obvious that the person was reading it seriously, but there was nothing much to say about the content.

After turning to the end, Liu Yuansheng put it back to its original place, glanced at the door of the room, and saw the slender and curvaceous Takagi Yuriko, and said lightly:

"Close the door and come here."

"?"

Takashiro Yuriko was startled, she looked up at Liu Yuansheng, then she realized something, her charming face turned pale, she pursed her red lips, looked at Liu Yuansheng angrily, her tone was a little angry:
"Liu Jun, what do you want to do?"

Liu Yuansheng ignored it and patted his thigh casually:
"Sit here."

Before he finished speaking, without waiting for Takagi Yuriko to agree, he turned around and took out a notebook that looked like a notebook from the table and started flipping through it.

A trace of humiliation flashed across Takagi Yuriko's pretty face. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, clenched and unclenched her palms, as if she had spent a long time weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, she suddenly raised her hand and closed the door with a slight tremor, then she stepped forward with her long legs wrapped in black stockings and walked towards Liu Yuansheng with pursed lips.

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Takagi Yuriko approaching, and without saying anything, Liu Yuansheng reached out and pulled her over.

Takagi Yuriko suddenly let out a scream, and sat on Liu Yuansheng's legs. Her back leaned uncontrollably against Liu Yuansheng's right arm, and her whole body suddenly sat in his arms.

Takagi Yuriko gritted her teeth, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Liu Yuansheng angrily. Her body was tense. Even though she had sex with Liu Yuansheng last night, could it be the same in bed as here?

As if he was blind to the resentful and angry look of the mature woman in his arms, Liu Yuansheng looked at the notes in his hand with a normal expression.

It contains some of Soichiro Takagi's meeting minutes, as well as the program and daily essays of the Kokumi Isshinkai.

Reading between the lines, Liu Yuansheng frowned.

Oh, Takagi Soichiro...

A hint of coldness flashed across Liu Yuansheng's eyes, and he sneered in his heart.

"Liu Yuansheng, if you want, there are many bedrooms, I'm available anytime."

Looking at the man with stern features in front of her, Takagi Yuriko tried her best to control her voice, but she couldn't help but tremble slightly, but her tone was very cold.

Liu Yuansheng closed his notebook, looked down at her, narrowed his brows, and whispered in her ear:

"But what should I do if I want to be here?"

Liu Yuansheng's warm breath suddenly blew into her ears, and his hand slid along her thighs wrapped in black silk stockings. Gao Cheng Yuriko couldn't help but tremble, and her breathing became increasingly rapid. She quickly reached out to push Liu Yuansheng away, raised her head, blushed, glared, and angrily scolded:
"Liu Yuansheng! Don't push your luck!"

Liu Yuansheng narrowed his eyebrows and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

The moment they looked at each other, Takagi Yuriko felt a sudden chill in her heart. The hands that had pushed away Liu Yuansheng suddenly froze. The anger that had just risen in her heart was extinguished in an instant, followed by an inexplicable fear that made her tremble all over.

But the chill was fleeting.

A cold look flashed across Liu Yuansheng's eyes. Seeing Takagi Yuriko's timid look, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile. He reached out and gently brushed the hair scattered on Takagi Yuriko's pretty face behind her ears.

He asked softly with an ambiguous tone:
"Yuriko, did you really choose to cooperate with me for the sake of your daughter?"

Facing Liu Yuansheng's meaningful yet playful look, Takagi Yuriko looked away unnaturally.

"You are a businessman. Weighing the pros and cons is in your nature. Before coming to the manor, I heard Saeko introduce you." "Before marrying Takashiro Soichiro, you were a powerful woman on Wall Street. You are sexy, smart, decisive, and strong...

But such a woman got married to Takashiro Soichiro in less than a day after meeting him. "

"Why? Could it really be because of the so-called 'love at first sight'?"

The charming face of Takagi Yuriko was reflected in Liu Yuansheng's deep dark eyes.

Yuriko Takagi had the illusion that she was stripped of everything and was lying naked in the arms of the man in front of her.

This illusion made her feel cold all over, but her strong psychological quality still allowed her to muster up the courage. She pursed her lips and looked at Liu Yuansheng in silence.

Liu Yuansheng smiled indifferently:
"Yuriko, you don't have to tell me, but let me guess."

Liu Yuansheng lifted her round and pointed chin with his index finger and narrowed his eyes slightly:

“You came from a common family, but with your talent and hard work, you were admitted to the University of Tokyo.

Having entered the best university in Japan, your future life is destined to surpass 99.99% of the people in this world.

You can use your status as a Tokyo University student to enter politics and join the so-called gold watch group.

You can also start a business with your intelligence and eventually establish a large-scale joint-stock company.

Or you can use your excellent vision to choose a good man from the upper class and become a lady of noble status.

Any of these three is a life that others desire but cannot reach.”

"And you, Yuriko?"

"You are not willing to give up. You don't want to be a vase that can only take care of your husband and children, nor do you want to be a businessman.

Because being a businessman means you are destined to be exploited in Japan.

So, you choose to become a police officer. But there are so many men coveting your body. Even if you graduated from the University of Tokyo, as a civilian, you are undoubtedly at the bottom of the food chain in the gold watch group where the average number of graduates from the University of Tokyo is high.

They threaten you and seduce you through various means.

You were so annoyed that you chose to resign."

Takagi Yuriko's pupils shrank slightly. Obviously, Liu Yuansheng was right.

In Japan, the only way to stand above everyone else is to go into politics, because in this deformed society, no matter how big a company is, it is just a money bag for the top Japanese government officials.

Knowing this, Takagi Yuriko chose to go into politics. But the persecution of a commoner like her by Japanese society went far beyond that. Even though she was a member of the Gold Watch Group, she was still not immune.

If you want to get promoted, you have no choice but to depend on others.

But the premise of dependence is to demonstrate equal value.

What does Takagi Yuriko have to do with someone from a commoner family?
Ability? Who in the gold watch group doesn’t have ability?

Money? Did she have any?
She just has a pretty face.

The undisguised greedy looks from those old and ugly men made her feel sick. Did she get admitted to the University of Tokyo just to be humiliated by these people?
No! no way!

So, she chose to resign.

To this day, she still remembers the day she handed in her resignation and the furious look on the old ugly man's face.

"But you still didn't give up. So, you chose to go abroad.

Go to Wall Street, to the country where money is everything.

But you forgot one thing."

Liu Yuansheng paused, but Gaocheng Yuriko clenched her fists, closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. Then, Liu Yuansheng's deep voice came from her ears -

“You are Japanese.”

Americans' dogs want to be equal to Americans? Is it possible?

What's more, Yuriko Takagi is just a commoner with no background.

"After struggling for five or six years, you became discouraged. At a dance, you met Takagi Soichiro, who was ambitious, young and strong, and of noble birth.

He just happened to be lacking in political donations and you just happened to be attracted to him.

So you decided to get married that day. This way you didn't have to be a vase, and you could satisfy your long-cherished wish to be above everyone else. "

Liu Yuansheng looked calmly at Takagi Yuriko, who had a complicated expression on her face.

"Am I right, Yuriko?"

"……right.

But apart from one thing, I didn’t marry Ichiro purely for personal gain. Maybe personal gain accounted for the majority, but there was also some affection.”

Yuriko Takagi looked at Yuansheng Liu in front of her with complicated eyes. She didn't expect that the person who knew her best was an eighteen-year-old young man.

"But you're still unwilling, right?"

Takagi Yuriko's heart trembled, her gaze towards Liu Yuansheng froze, her rosy lips slightly opened, the deep gaze of the man in front of her made her feel like she was suffocating.

"Madam of the Mayor, Keishu City."

Liu Yuansheng smiled slightly. Takagi Yuriko didn't say anything, but Liu Yuansheng saw hesitation in her eyes.

All it takes is a fire.

"As long as you follow my steps, in this world where the system collapses, perhaps the whole of Japan will belong to us."

Liu Yuansheng looked into Takagi Yuriko's eyes and spoke word by word.

Liu Yuansheng's voice sounded in her ears, and Takagi Yuriko couldn't help but tremble in her heart. A fire called ambition continued to burn her heart. She closed her eyes and bit her lips, wanting to refuse.

But when the word "refuse" came to my lips, I couldn't say it.

a long time.

She suddenly sighed.

She slowly opened her narrow and charming eyes, and a hint of helplessness and relief flashed in her eyes when she looked at Liu Yuansheng.

The red lips painted with alluring lipstick sighed helplessly, the narrow and charming eyelids fluttered, and the sparkling and charming eyes looked at Liu Yuansheng pitifully, which made people feel pity for her and at the same time had a charming look that was captivating.

The left hand passed over Liu Yuansheng's chest, and the warm palm gently rested on Liu Yuansheng's strong trapezius muscle. The slender index finger of the right hand drew circles on Liu Yuansheng's chest. Gao Cheng Yuriko opened her red lips slightly, staring straight at Liu Yuansheng, and a magnetic voice with a slightly frosted texture sounded:
"Then what are you waiting for?"

The corners of Liu Yuansheng's lips curled up.

The next second, Liu Yuansheng's deep and handsome facial features continued to magnify in Takagi Yuriko's watery eyes. Takagi Yuriko smiled tenderly and went straight up to him.

The soft touch was very vivid, and it gave the two of them a vivid stimulation different from last night.

First it was Takashiro Soichirō's desk, then the Japanese flag behind him. Liu Yuansheng tore it off and spread it on the six desks in front...

At the beginning, Takagi Yuriko was able to put up a fight, but when Liu Yuansheng's tailbone was moved, she could only groan and sigh.
