After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 171 170. So we are fellow travelers
"What's wrong? Don't we look like we're in a relationship? Or does President Sato have any objections?"

"I can't really say that."

Sato Mie narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Shimizu Yuko again. She had to admit in her heart that she was indeed well maintained. Even her skin condition was similar to hers. It was just that this coincidence was amazing. So she turned to look at Harano Tsukasa and said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't expect it."

"Didn't expect it?" When Yuko Shimizu saw her gaze moving towards her, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Feeling the gazes of the two girls falling on his face at the same time, Harano Tsukasa was not panicked. After all, they were not Suzumiya Saka and did not need to follow the rule of not meeting each other. So he did not intend to play a double-faced routine. Instead, he patted Shimizu Yuko's hand and explained, "We know each other."

Yuko Shimizu was surprised when she heard this.

She looked at Sato Mie again.

Women's sixth sense is always very accurate, and their minds are naturally more delicate than men's. Originally, she only saw Sato Mie's face as a rival who wanted to force a joint venture, but now she has an indescribable strange feeling when looking at her, especially her half-smiley eyes.

Seems a little angry.

But there is no way to send it out.

She had had this kind of expression before, also towards Harano Tsukasa, and the reason was that she was jealous of other women before she figured out her own position.

Thinking of Harano Tsukasa's habit of flirting with other girls, and the fact that he had taken away a college student who he thought he wanted to keep with him a few days ago, Shimizu Yuko's eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Sato Mie's pretty face, and the hostility in her heart also subtly disappeared a little.

It turns out we are fellow travelers!

wrong!

It seems that we can say that they are people of the same origin!
According to her previous temper, she might have been unable to suppress her anger and jealousy after learning that Sato Mie was a woman of the same origin as herself, but she would not do that now. After all, Harano Tsukasa had given her so much, and she herself could not fight for a decent position due to many factors including her age and status.

Besides, these days, Harano Tsukasa was able to visit her from time to time, which made Shimizu Yuko, who had devoted most of her heart to her career, satisfied and no longer thought about it.

Sometimes I just can't sleep at night.

Always thinking about their past.

For example, at home, in the car and in the office.

But Yuko Shimizu could still manage to work herself to the point of being exhausted by having to fall asleep.

So when she knew that the female president in front of her, who was also a member of the Mitsui Group and had strong capital, was also one of her own, Shimizu Yuko not only had a strange feeling that the world was a small place, but also a feeling that she had been fighting for a long time before she found out that her opponent was actually one of her own.

Shimizu Yuko didn't feel embarrassed about being caught lying. Instead, she smoothed her hair by her ears and asked with a slightly surprised look, "You too?"

"Me too?" Sato Mie understood what she meant instantly. Now she was sure that the other party was also Harano Tsukasa's man. She suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort in her heart and subconsciously wanted to lose her temper as usual. But when she thought of the memory of being taught a lesson by that thing the day before yesterday, her beautiful cheeks couldn't help but blush. After a moment of silence, she could only sigh helplessly and nodded.

"So we are still a family." After getting a positive answer, Yuko Shimizu smiled gently.

She turned her head to look at Harano Tsukasa and found that he didn't say anything like "no" and there was no disgust in his eyes towards Sato Mie. She felt that it was a bit inappropriate for the three of them to be crowded at the door of the conference room. After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively said, "Then... don't leave yet?"

"Come to my office for another cup of tea."

"My new Gyokuro tea leaves just arrived."

Gyokuro tea is known as the king of tea and represents the highest level of Japanese tea. There is an exaggerated saying that it is difficult to find one tea tree out of every hundred that can produce Gyokuro, so the price is very high, 60,000 to 70,000 yen for 100 grams. There are differences depending on the origin and freshness, but the difference in this respect is not too big.

In the tea ceremony of Sencha, Gyokuro is often served as a cold-brewed tea at tea tables in summer. Usually the water is cooled by a soup cooler and then brewed at around 50 to 60 degrees Celsius.

The tea is light green in color and there is no astringency when you drink it. The tea fragrance is very warm and melts in the mouth, and it is very long. Although Yuanye Si has no knowledge of drinking tea, after taking a few sips, he found that it is very different from ordinary tea bags. It is indeed smooth and delicious.

After three rounds of tea, Harano Tsukasa, who was sitting in the main seat in Shimizu Yuko's office, watched her quietly refill her tea and asked casually, "What are you doing here?"

Of course, this question is directed at Sato Mie.

So Yuko Shimizu didn't say anything, she just refilled Harano Tsukasa's cup with tea and poured herself a cup, then sat on the side chair next to her, holding the teacup in both hands and sipping it, not too far away from Harano Tsukasa, as if her husband was keeping a proper distance when meeting with guests so that she could take care of them as a wife.

Sato Mie's eyelids twitched, and her face was slightly worried. She stared at the seat under Shimizu Yuko's buttocks until she heard Harano Tsukasa's questioning voice, then she looked away: "Let's talk business."

"I just heard you guys talking outside the conference room and it seems like things weren't going well?" Yuan Ye Si said, holding the porcelain cup.

"You... President Shimizu was a bit stubborn, and I didn't achieve my goal, so we had a little argument."

When Shimizu Yuko, who had been sitting quietly on the side, heard this, she did not just swallow her anger and endure it. Instead, she smiled and said, "There was no verbal dispute. It was President Sato who unilaterally threatened me."

"I threatened you?" Sato Mie refused to admit that she had threatened. She snorted and said, "I did hear that someone wanted to hunt you down. After all, the performance of your product is much better than those on the market, and the production line cost is also much lower. It is only a matter of time before you are financed into the supply chain system. If you keep holding on like this, it will eventually rot in your hands. It's not because of the product, but because someone will keep causing trouble for you in various ways."

"Can you help her solve it?" Yuan Ye Si suddenly asked.

Sato Mie glared at him, feeling a little speechless. He was really rude when he used the word "her".
"Even if you ask, I can't help her on the basis that she and I have no business dealings. This is against the rules and has nothing to do with personal feelings."

"Then raise funds and tell me your plan." Yuanye Si said without surprise.

There are many ways to raise funds for a company, the most common of which are direct investment and mergers and acquisitions. Of course, what Sato Mie proposed was mergers and acquisitions. The scale of the company she is in charge of is much larger than the factory that Shimizu Yuko is in charge of now. From a business perspective, mergers and acquisitions are a common way for a company of her size to acquire a small company.

When Sato Mie learned about the relationship between Shimizu Yuko and Harano Tsukasa, and the latter's biased attitude that made her hate him so much, she knew that it would be impossible to take advantage of Shimizu Yuko.

After reiterating the plan she had discussed today, Sato Mie added that they could also invest directly, and then she turned her gaze to Shimizu Yuko, who had been silent again after she had just confronted her. However, the latter ignored her and just held the teacup and said to herself, "This factory originally belonged to Xiao Si, and I am just managing it on his behalf. I will listen to everything he says, and you two can just talk about this matter."

"Just invest directly. You take out 5 billion yen and own 20% of the shares." Harano Tsukasa continued what Shimizu Yuko said before Sato Mie could speak.

"Five billion? And a 20 percent stake?"

Sato Mie looked at the two of them singing the same tune like a couple and almost fainted from anger.

Yuanye Si saw that she was so angry that her face turned black and she was about to explode on the spot. He also knew that his request was extremely excessive, so he said calmly: "Whether it is investment or merger and acquisition, it will cost us a premium. Besides, I will invest another 10 billion later, and I will only have the same shares as you."

[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]

[Third phase quota: 100 billion yen]

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

The third stage of Harano Tsukasa's investment stage card had been activated long before. He guessed that the turnover of Shimizu Yuko's factory had broken that limit again, so the money had been idle for a long time.

Originally, this money could have been used for the follow-up work in the Ochanomizu plan to become a long-term strategic partner with him, but now he has given up.

So it doesn't matter where you put the money.

He is not short of money either.

Just give them all to Yuko Shimizu.

But Sato Mie doesn't think so.

This is your mom-and-pop shop!
Yuanye Si invested 10 billion because the factory belongs to him. She invested 5 billion in exchange for such a small amount of equity. Even if you use eight hands to calculate, it would be a loss.

Can that be the same?

However, this condition was acceptable to Sato Mie, and her biggest concern now was not whether she would lose money or not, but she was surprised that Harano Tsukasa could come up with so much money. After all, she knew very well that Suzumiya Saka was not involved in the family business, and even if she wanted to embezzle funds, she would definitely not be able to do it. But she couldn't pull him by the collar and question him, so after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, she could only say: "Okay, I admit the loss, sign the contract."

There is a printer in Yuko Shimizu's office.

Once the intention of cooperation is reached, the rest will be done quickly, basically just stamping and fingerprinting.

However, after putting away her copy of the two copies, Shimizu Yuko, who had been very quiet, suddenly said, "President Sato, I wish us a happy cooperation. I have something else to do tonight, so I won't keep you here."

Sato Mie's eyes widened slightly, and she looked a little incredulous as she said, "As a new shareholder, even if Chairman Shimizu doesn't plan to hold a shareholders' meeting to hold a welcome ceremony, he shouldn't even hold a welcome ceremony, right?" "Shareholders' meeting? There are only three of us shareholders in the company, so shouldn't the meeting have already been held?"

"You don't plan to keep me for dinner?"

Sato Mie turned her head and looked at Harano Tsukasa.

"Aren't you busy? Why don't you go back and take care of your own business first?" Yuanye Si said after thinking for a moment.

It's already dark, what am I busy with?

Kick it away after using it?

How come your expression changes faster than you pulling up your pants the day before yesterday!
"I'm hungry and want to eat. Besides, our car broke down and we can't leave today." Sato Mie's face drooped on the spot, and she no longer cared about how thick her skin was.

"I can call roadside assistance for you."

Yuko Shimizu said thoughtfully.

Sato Mie's face was even darker than before, almost as dark as the bottom of a pot, but she still tried to force herself not to leave by talking: "No need, I have not only cooperated with you in Keihin Industrial Park, but I also plan to be here tomorrow, so it's okay to stay overnight, just in time to get my car repaired."

After saying that, she did not sit still and wait for death, but chose to take the initiative. She stood up, walked around the desk, grabbed Yuanye Si's arm, and pulled him out with all her strength while saying coldly: "Come with me, I have something to talk to you about."

"Yuan Ye-kun and I have something to discuss tonight as well."

Yuko Shimizu narrowed her eyes, and the wheel under the passenger seat slid and silently grabbed his other hand.

"You guys talk about it tomorrow night. He must talk to me tonight first!" Sato Mie also got excited. She could understand if she couldn't win over Suzumiya Saka, but not this time.

"That's impossible."

"If I say it's possible, it's possible."

"impossible."

"hehe."

"It can't be like last time."

"you!"

Sato Mie turned her head to look at Harano Tsukasa who suddenly spoke in front of her. Her face had never looked so ugly as it did now, as if she had been wrongly sentenced to eighty years in prison.

Help her and not me?
So I'm not even as good as this woman?

Being treated differently in front of others, especially in front of a rival, was something that Sato Mie could not accept because of her strong self-esteem. She stood up and said, "Since you don't welcome me, I won't disturb you two."

She walked away angrily in her high heels.

He even slammed the door on purpose before leaving.

However, both people in the office turned a blind eye.

"Where are we going to eat?" Yuan Ye Si asked with a smile.

Shimizu Yuko didn't seem to be affected by Sato Mie at all. She took his hand and said, "Let me do it. I have a room upstairs specially reserved for accommodation. It is also equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. I just bought some fresh vegetables last night."

Compared with Shigeeda Shio, Shimizu Yuko's cooking skills are obviously better, after all, her age is there.

But eating is not the main purpose.

The purpose is to water the land.

There has never been land that does not yearn for rain. Although there is underground water to maintain survival, its nature is completely different and the feelings are also very different.

Compared to the others, Shimizu Yuko was much thirstier, but after Harano Tsukasa used all his strength to turn her into water for the ground, she blushed and whispered, "Xiao Si, go take a shower first."

"Then let's go together?" Yuanye Si replied.

"I won't wash it. You go wash it first."

While talking, Yuko Shimizu lifted her lower body up in the quilt, trying to prevent the contents from leaking out.

This is based on scientific evidence.

After all, quantity sometimes also represents quality.

If you take a shower, you have to stand.

Standing there will inevitably cause soil erosion.

"What's wrong? You've never disliked me before. Do you think I'm dirty?"

"How could that be? I just think it's not too late now. You still have time to go find President Sato."

"this…"

"Don't worry about me. I'm already very satisfied that you can come to see me. I think her temper is not very good and she is very strong, similar to that kid Sa Xiang. You can't really leave her out all night."

Harano Tsukasa didn't know how to comment on Shimizu Yuko's behavior. Moreover, he had used up 80% of his strength. He could only say, "Maybe she has passed away."

"Then give them a call."

"..."

More than half an hour later, Harano Tsukasa stood in front of a room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Yokohama and knocked on the door.

The door was opened quickly.

"What do you want from me?" Although Harano Tsukasa, who was in front of Sato Mie, who was wearing silk pajamas, felt itchy for a moment, he still pulled a long face.

"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me tonight?"

Yuanye Si said seriously.

"What are you talking about? You've already talked to others, yet you still come to me? Do you have the nerve to do that?" She was so angry that her teeth ached.

"You'll know if you try it." Yuan Ye Si didn't care about her sarcasm, but raised his hand: "Besides, I have this, don't you like it too?"

"I'm sick, don't even think about it."

"Okay, I'm going back."

"you…"

When she saw him turn around and leave, Sato Mie felt a little regretful, but the next moment, Harano Tsukasa turned around and hugged her in the blink of an eye. The familiar big hand also became dishonest as if it had returned to the old ways, so she hurriedly said: "Move around first, go to the room, there are hotel surveillance cameras in the corridor..."

"Weren't you quite good at pretending just now?"

"Who told you to always put me last..."

"Don't you know that the second half of the night is the longest time of the day?" Yuan Ye Si whispered in her ear.
