After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 114 113. There will always be a time when you are not here
Keihin Industrial Zone is an industrial park built with Tokyo and Yokohama as its core. It is located on the coast of Tokyo Bay and is the first of Japan's five famous industrial zones.

The most important industry among them is steel.

As Japan's largest industrial area, it has more than 100,000 factories, accounting for nearly 20% of the country's total manufacturing industry. Located here are both large factories under various conglomerates and smaller factories.

Yuanye Si took the shuttle bus into the park.

Because the industrial area is too large.

The factory that Yuko Shimizu rented was in a relatively cheap and remote location, so it took more than 20 minutes to get there.

At this moment he remembered what had just happened.

Hoshino Ryuka is gone.

And he left with red eyes.

Everything has an explanation, everything has a solution, and everything has a response. This is Yuanye Si's personal code of conduct.

As the first experience package with the least psychological burden, Hoshino Ryuka has already exhausted her remaining energy in this position, so it would not be a pity even if she is discarded after use. After all, greed and not recognizing one's current value are two different things. This only concerns her personally.

Even if he has reasons to guide his desire, the opportunity for transformation and falling into the abyss are actually just a matter of one thought.

Many things have already been secretly priced.

As for whether after her contact with Harano Tsukasa, Hoshino Rika's cognition would degenerate to the point where she was just a straw to tie the hairy crabs, he had no control over that.

A person who is too greedy.

There's no good ending after all.

Following the factory address on the phone, Harano Tsukasa got off the bus and walked for a few minutes before finally finding Shimizu Yuko's place in the seemingly endless industrial area.

This factory is located in a remote area. Its outer shell is a typical blue steel structure, which is only three stories high at most. The gate is a bit rusty, and it can be seen that it has been abandoned for a long time. But at this moment, even if you stand outside the factory, you can clearly hear the roar of machines inside, and forklifts carrying piles of unknown things are constantly entering and leaving the workshop.

Walking further in, there was no security guard to stop him, and he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the door of a control room, talking to a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet beside him.

"Muto! Tell the factory control to start all the machines, even if they are overloaded. This batch of equipment must be delivered before next week, otherwise the order will be void. We cannot afford this consequence."

"Hello? I'm Shimizu Yuko, hello, is this Kitano-san? Yes, I recognized it was you, what language are you talking about? I remember the activities the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely participate."

"Where were we talking about? Orders, right? Don't rush to accept next month's orders. We might be acquired. We should avoid breaching the contract. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome."

"Also, please postpone the cooperation partner that we need to discuss today. I have an important guest tonight to meet. To fully express our apologies, you can take Takeshita to accompany them tonight. All expenses will be paid by the public account, and the budget will be doubled according to the last time."

"That's about it, go get busy."

"Wait! This month's bonus will be increased by another 50%. Ask the finance department to prepare it and notify everyone. If you have anything to do today, please don't contact me for the time being. I have something important to do."

Compared to her previous appearance of always being drunk and showing the charm of a young woman, Yuko Shimizu now still has short hair that is longer than her ears, but the clothes she wears have changed from long skirts to professional suits, and there seem to be shoulder pads on her shoulders. Her slender and straight calves are tightly wrapped in flesh-colored stockings under the hem of the short skirt, and her high heels are also slightly shorter.

He wore a pair of oval, frameless glasses on his nose, and would glance at the documents in his arms from time to time.

Although it lacks some charm.

But it is more intellectual and capable.

Just by hearing the few words after approaching, Yuanye Si could tell that, although she was not extremely busy, she had obviously talked a lot during this period, and her voice was obviously hoarse when she was explaining things.

After she finished explaining her tasks, took out her cell phone from her briefcase and lowered her head as if she was going to call him, Harano Tsukasa walked up to her and greeted her.

"Stop fighting, I'm coming."

Yuko Shimizu raised her head after hearing the voice.

Then she turned sideways and looked at him.

Seeing that familiar face that she hadn't seen for a long time, she couldn't help but murmured, "Xiao Si..."

After a brief moment of shock, Shimizu Yuko reacted instantly. She subconsciously raised her hand to stroke her hair, and then pulled her women's suit, as if she was afraid that there was something wrong with her clothes: "Why didn't you tell me you arrived? I didn't even dress myself, and someone should have been sent to pick you up..."

"There is a shuttle bus in the industrial zone. I took that one. Besides, you are so busy, coming here today is already a bother to you. It would be unacceptable if I delay your time again." Yuanye Si said with a smile.

"Besides, Aunt Qingshui, you are very beautiful even without dressing up, so there is no need for me to dress up."

"You're dirty, and your face is covered with a lot of factory dust, and you're the only one who compliments me." After hearing what Harano Tsukasa said, Shimizu Yuko's heart, which was already beating faster than before because of seeing him again, didn't even dare to meet his eyes.

"I speak from the bottom of my heart." Yuan Ye Si hadn't seen her for such a long time, and he felt that things and people had changed.

"Then I'll take you around the factory?"

Yuko Shimizu asked tentatively.

"I'm not a government official here to inspect, so there's no need for me to walk around. You look tired, with dark circles under your eyes. Let's not walk around for now. Go sit down in the office and rest for a while." Yuan Ye Si shook his head.

Shimizu Yuko pursed her lips, glanced at her subordinates who had already walked away, and nodded: "Then let's go."

The office is not far from the factory building on the first floor.

But they didn't communicate when they left.

It was as if they had some kind of tacit understanding with each other.

Even though there was another intimate encounter on Yokosuka Expressway in Yokohama that night, both he and Yuko Shimizu knew very well that it might be the last time they would discuss such a big deal.

The reason is also very simple.

gap.

It’s not that there’s a gap between Yuanye Si and him.

It's Yuko Shimizu.

Although after that night Yuko Shimizu sent him out the door like a caring wife, she never sent him a message again.

The two seemed to have lost contact.

Harano Tsukasa didn't contact her.

She also did not take the initiative to contact Yuanye Si.

But judging from the fact that he suddenly wanted to meet her this morning and got an immediate response after contacting her, Shimizu Yuko is not like Hoshino Rika who is waiting for a price, but is deliberately keeping a distance. As for the purpose of doing so, it is probably because she does not want to actively disturb his life.

Yuko Shimizu is no longer at the age where she doesn't know right from wrong, so she is very clear about her position. She doesn't want to cause trouble for Harano Tsukasa, nor does she want to see anything that makes her feel distressed.

And this relationship.

It was indeed difficult for her to face it.

Two minutes later they entered the office.

If Suzumiya Saka's office can be considered simple but exquisite in layout, then Shimizu Yuko's office can be described as simple.

Apart from a desk filled with all kinds of messy documents, there are only two solid wooden cabinets.

In addition, there is a bed on the north side.

The bedding on the bed was very messy, obviously not made up after sleeping. There were also more than a dozen bottles of shochu and foreign liquor on the bedside table, most of which were empty, with only two or three bottles still having some liquor left.

Yuko Shimizu obviously knew that her office was not suitable for entertaining guests. Seeing that Harano Tsukasa looked a little embarrassed, she hurriedly walked over, bent down and tidied the mattress. Then she found a box of tea and poured a cup of hot water from the kettle and brought it over.

"Xiao Si, please take a seat. This place is very simple. I receive guests outside, and I haven't purchased a coffee machine or anything like that. I can only give you some tea."

Yuan Ye Si took the plastic cup with both hands and held it in his palms. Seeing her embarrassment, he said in a gentle voice: "Tea is good for health. I love drinking tea."

There was a pause in the voice.

He looked at Yuko Shimizu and added another sentence.

"You've lost weight."

"Really?" Shimizu Yuko stroked her face, feeling slightly touched when she heard him care about her, and whispered, "Maybe it's because I've been walking a lot recently."

"Have you been drinking recently?"

Harano Tsukasa's gaze shifted to the bedside table again.

"I sometimes drink a little when I'm alone at night. My nerves are tense every day, and drinking a little can improve my sleep quality." Shimizu Yuko seemed to be afraid that he was worried about something, so she quickly explained.

"You're not going home to sleep either?"

"It takes nearly an hour to drive from here to my rented house. It would be a waste of time to go back and forth every day. Besides, the basic living facilities in the industrial park are very complete, so there is nothing wrong with sleeping here."

"You have worked hard."

"I want to work hard, after all, I have been looking forward to this day for many years."

"Anyway, you should take care of your health."

Compared with the intimate state they had been in half a month ago, now separated by an office desk, they were obviously more like elders and juniors who had not seen each other for a long time.

Yuanye Si was a little uncomfortable with this feeling.

But in fact, Yuko Shimizu was even less adapted, and even felt like she was talking to the most familiar stranger.

Although there was no one else in the office.

The door was also closed.

However, even though she wanted to sit directly on Harano Tsukasa's lap and lie in his arms, the thought that this boy had a serious girlfriend, coupled with the cooling-off period of not seeing each other during this period of time, made her feel guilty and immoral again. So even though there were only the two of them in the office, she always felt that there were invisible eyes staring at her every move.

Suppressing this feeling of discomfort and the desire to merge into Harano Tsukasa's body, Shimizu Yuko forced a smile and said, "Don't talk about me, Xiao Si, how are you doing recently?"

"I'm still unemployed at the moment, making some money from the projects I invested in before." Yuanye Si responded.

After hearing this, Yuko Shimizu remained silent.

Because she thought about money.

Judging from what Sister Tsubaki had asked Harano Tsukasa when they were in Enoshima before, his money was probably earned by dragging the kid who was his official girlfriend.

So what about the money for yourself?

Although Shimizu Yuko repeatedly said that she didn't want his money in the emergency lane of the highway that day, the survival of the factory had reached a critical point for her. Even if she was eligible to go through the loan process, it would take time. So after Harano Tsukasa really transferred the money to her, she could only use it with a guilty conscience.

But who does this money belong to?

Although it's his.

But it also has something to do with that child.

So seriously speaking, Xiao Si is using the money he earned from working hard with that kid to subsidize himself, and this behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal.

It's just that it's not betraying myself, but betraying the child.

But can Yuko Shimizu criticize him?

Of course not.

Not only that, she was also moved and sad in this absurd situation. She just felt that although Harano Tsukasa might be a little fickle, his feelings for her were not fake after all. After all, there was nothing better than money to prove feelings, except for the time that was objectified for love.

Think of this.

Yuko Shimizu felt like her heart was melting.

I wish I could give him a child right now.

However, no matter how moved she was, or how much she wanted to throw herself into Yuanye Si's arms, she could only suppress the throbbing at this moment and lower her head slightly to avoid him noticing anything unusual.

"That's pretty good."

She then asked, "I saw Sister Chun and the others went to Iceland, why didn't you go with them?"

"I went to Osaka with some friends, but didn't accomplish anything. After just two days there, something happened in Tokyo and we came back." Harano Tsukasa took a sip of tea.

"Is that so?" Thinking about the money, Shimizu Yuko couldn't help but open the drawer: "Wait a moment."

Yuan Ye Si raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

After a moment, Yuko Shimizu bent down and took out a stack of information well protected by plastic film from the drawer, and pushed it in front of Harano Tsukasa.

He also handed him a pen.

After removing the pen cap, place it carefully at hand.

"This is?"

Harano Tsukasa asked, looking at her face.

“Equity transfer contract.”

Yuko Shimizu explained.

Without opening the contract to check the contents, or even raising his hand, Yuanye Si frowned and said, "What do you mean? Didn't I tell you last time that the investment was compensation for you?"

"I don't need compensation. If you insist on calling it compensation, then it's actually an insult to my aunt."

Yuko Shimizu's tone was unusually tough.

Yuan Ye Si frowned and looked at her.

The two people's eyes met in mid-air for nearly ten seconds, and it seemed that neither of them was willing to take a step back.

Another ten seconds passed.

In the end, it was Harano Si who sighed.

"Then I'll sign it."

Before Shimizu Yuko could say anything, Harano Tsukasa closed the cap of his pen and pushed the contract back: "But the contents of the contract need to be changed."

"How did it change?" asked Yuko Shimizu puzzledly.

"As the actual person in charge of the company and also the founder, if I can't even control the company, how can I manage my employees? If I raise funds again, my shares will be diluted and I may get into trouble."

"then you…"

"I take 20%, absolutely not more, otherwise I won't sign." Yuan Ye Si didn't give her a chance to speak, and his tone became tough, just like he said just now, he would not allow herself to be rejected.

"You kid..." Shimizu Yuko couldn't help but hesitate to speak, but after pursing her lips, she agreed: "Okay, I'll re-draft a contract later."

"Don't be so anxious."

"Wait a minute, I'll reprint it. Sit here for a while." As if she was afraid that what Harano Tsukasa said was just a temporary measure, Shimizu Yuko took the contract and went straight out the door. She was obviously going to find a computer to make changes and then use the printer to print out another copy.

Yuko Shimizu moved quickly.

She came back in less than three minutes.

However, just as Harano Tsukasa signed the contract which was still warm from printing, the wish list revealed unexpected information to him at that moment.

[Investment Stage Card: Limited to commercial investment, and embodied in the company's public account. If misappropriated privately, it cannot be used by the subject itself through any channel]

[The company has been successfully established, with a positive trend in turnover and total assets, and has certain potential]

[Successfully unlocked the second stage]

[Second phase quota: 10 billion yen]

[Please explore the stage completion and how to issue the next stage of investment quota by yourself]

Yuan Ye Si stared at the information on the light red screen in his sight for a moment, and it was not until nearly a minute later that he digested this sudden wish information.

Investment Stage Card.

As the name of the card suggests, it is naturally divided into stages.

When he first got this card, he knew that there would definitely be subsequent stages, and the investment amount would become higher, but it had not been triggered for a long time, so he almost forgot about this stage card.

But now it seems...

The actual reason why the second stage has not been unlocked for such a long time is that I do not have shares in the company.

That makes sense.

After all, they are all angel investors.

Since he is an investor, he should hold some shares to a greater or lesser extent and become the controller or one of the owners of this joint-stock company.

The purpose of investing is return.

Not even asking for anything in return.

Isn't that essentially just giving money?
After figuring this out, Yuanye Si suddenly didn't know what to say, because he had never taken this card seriously. If he wanted to make money, there were more ways than this, and it was not limited to a certain scope like investment.

When it comes to money, it’s enough to have enough.

This was his previous idea.

However, after this incident when Sato Mie came to visit him, Harano Tsukasa felt that he must own an industry of considerable size.

After all, industry represents more than just money.

And status and influence.

If you really break through the ceiling and reach the top of the pyramid, although it will involve more complicated things and troubles, you don't have to worry about having a gun pointed at your head one day because of offending someone. After all, the wish list cannot make Harano Tsukasa reach the level of an inhuman existence that can tear the world apart with one punch.

Especially from the most realistic point of view.

Don't say anything else.

Compared with Suzumiya Saka's family background, if Harano Tsukasa wants to prevent her from being laughed at or criticized by people in her circle, what he currently has is still far from enough, or far from enough.

Although one's own happiness always comes from within, rather than living for the criticism of others.

But since it can be done.

So why not do your best?

It's for her.

It's also for myself.

Being immersed in your own comfort zone is certainly a good choice, but you also have to consider the situation of the people you care about. This is inevitable even for Yuanye Si, who once called himself a ruin.

"Xiao Si, we..."

Just as Harano Tsukasa was thinking about how to develop his future career, and Shimizu Yuko saw that he had remained silent and wanted to break the silence, the phone in Harano Tsukasa's pocket suddenly rang, interrupting their thoughts.

"Ring ring ring!"

Yuan Ye Si took out his phone and looked at the contact's note. He did not answer the call immediately. Instead, he stood up and said, "I'll go out and answer the phone first."

Shimizu Yuko forced herself to smile and nodded slightly.

But it was obvious that his face was not very good.

Because as a woman, her sixth sense told her that the call was most likely from the boy who was her official girlfriend, otherwise he would not avoid her.

After a few minutes.

Yuan Ye Si, who had returned, hesitated for a moment with the phone in his hand, but still said, "My friend has to come to see me later, otherwise I should go back first?"

"Is that the child?"

That’s what Yuko Shimizu asked.

"It's her." Yuanye Si nodded.

There was no sign of unhappiness on Shimizu Yuko's pretty face. Instead, she stood up from her office chair and said with a smile, "Then don't leave. As an elder, I should not only help you check things, but I should also show some hospitality and treat you to a simple meal."

"Forget it, I think it's better..."

"Let's meet up. I've already reserved a table at a nearby Sukiyaki restaurant, but it's hard to get a reservation for you."

Harano Tsukasa looked at Shimizu Yuko's serious eyes and unyielding tone, and knew that she would not be willing to not see Suzumiya Saka. After a moment's hesitation, he could only nod slowly and said, "Okay."

[Wish object: Yuko Shimizu]

[The wish list is as follows]

[1. I hope that no one will disturb us today, and we can successfully have a child (purple)]

[2. Want to be young in the office (blue)]

[3. Even if the girl who stole my man is pretty, she is always away from home. As long as I figure out the pattern, I can see Xiao Si regularly and express my love at their home (purple)]

Yuanye Si sighed slightly in his heart.

Then disperse the desire in front of you.

Although I have always known that Aunt Qingshui has a habit of telling little lies, why are all these lies related to big business talks and no one is immune.

and.

Why do you want to have children?
I will be the father of several children in the future!
