Tokyo: Starting with taking on his wife's debts

He realized that Ayako seemed to have really fallen into depravity, and the woman in the nanny's room was not a prostitute, after all, who would kick down a door?

He suddenly remembered the group of men who had been chasing him earlier, shouting outside the door.

"Hurry up and leave!" Hideaki waved his hand at Sugita Naoto. "Have you forgotten the group of men who were chasing you earlier? The woman inside is their leader. Your words deeply hurt her. Gangs are terrifying. If she commands a group of men to surround you, you won't be able to handle it, will you? Let's go!"

Naoto Sugita's face turned deathly pale. He swallowed hard. "No, no... This is my house. You all have to leave, or I'll call the police! Even if it kills me, I'll get my house back!!!"

He became hysterical at the end.

The factory is about to go bankrupt. With the hope of getting the house back, they can take out a loan to stay afloat.

Once the factory closes down and you're burdened with debt, what's the difference between that and death?

“You can’t take the house,” Hideaki said, shrugging and raising an eyebrow. “If you insist on having it, I can give it to you, but I’ve already used this house to borrow one billion yen and invested it in the stock market. Do you still want it?”

"Huh?" Naoto Sugita felt dizzy and leaned against the railing, sitting down on the ground. "It's all over...it's all over...my Sugita Doll Factory will be taken over by the bank..."

"Straight man, straight man!" Yuuto helped him up. "Cheer up, you have to cheer up! We can go back to Matsuba Bank and talk to them again..."

Ezaki's leisurely voice came from inside the small white door: "Interested in selling the factory? I'll buy it for a high price on behalf of 'Yamagaigumi'. Even if you mortgage this house to get a loan, you won't last long. Get out as soon as possible!"

Through the hole in the door, only Ezaki's calf, clad in black stockings, could be seen.

She had always been thinking about transforming her gang into an organized crime group, and the current environment presented a good opportunity for them to do so. There were plenty of bankrupt companies, and regardless of whether they were viable or not, she would buy them at a low price and then make plans.

Sugita Naoto blinked, opened his mouth, then his face suddenly twisted in pain. He shoved Hayato aside and rushed toward the door: "Even if I die, I will never sell my family business! It's all your fault, all of you get out!"

Their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked like they were ready to die together with the underworld.

Xiuming quickly stopped him, "Hey straight man, how about I invest in you and we work together?"

It's a good idea to do some Pikachu pre-launch hype. After the couple leaves, we can go to the nearby office building and look for a struggling game studio.

In his rage, Sugita Naoto was clearly not going to listen to anything, and with his claw-like hand, he grabbed at Hideaki's face.

Xiuming gasped, grabbed his wrist, and executed a clean over-the-shoulder throw.

boom!

Before Naoto Sugita could vent his anger, he was thrown to the ground and immediately lost consciousness.

Chapter 79 Are you rewarding him?

"Straight man, huh?!" Yuto exclaimed, glaring at Hideaki. "You despicable guy, that's too much!"

"Because he was so terrifying, I got a little agitated,"

Hideaki shrugged, and before Hayato could speak, he had Ayako open the door and take out the two-dimensional Pokémon illustrations he had drawn earlier, handing them to Hayato. "Everyone has their difficulties, and working together is no joke. Take this proposal back and discuss it with your girlfriend. We can start production and launch now. If you think it's effective, we can find a suitable location to discuss it further."

Hideaki had already written a complete plan, starting with the Pokémon games as the beginning.

“I don’t know much about these things, I’ll talk to him.” Yuto was silent for a while, put the image and plan into his pocket, then picked up the unconscious Sugita Naoto and carried him down the stairs. Suddenly he turned back and said, “Even though you said you weren’t joking, you’re such a jerk, it always makes me uneasy.”

Yuuto left with his "girlfriend" in his arms.

Ayako suddenly stood with her hands on her hips in the doorway and said loudly, "What do you mean? Didn't you say you would invest in my embroidery business?"

“Your embroidery is mid-to-high-end, while his dolls are mid-to-low-end; the markets are different.”

“I’m sworn enemies with him. He ruined me, he ruined me!” Ayako’s face was contorted with distress. “I trusted you so much, and I asked you to stand up for me.”

"You can't just take over his factory, wait for it to go public, strip him of his power, and leave him idle at home, waiting to die."

We can't just kill him, can we? That's absurd, it's inhumane.

He was also a tragic and pitiful entrepreneur caught in the tide of the times.

The factory is already there, and he has a lot of skills; it would be great to use them to make money.

"Are you rewarding him?" Ayako threw down her cane and jumped onto Hideaki. "I'm even starting to doubt your sexual orientation. Carry me inside..."

The sturdy door to Ayako's room slammed shut, while the door to the maid's room opened a crack. Ezaki glanced at it intently for a moment, then slammed it shut again.

Hideaki's sudden proposal to collaborate with Sugita Naoto made Ezaki look at him with newfound respect.

Miyamoto Ayako clearly disliked her ex-husband. If you follow the normal male logic, a lover's ex-husband would definitely be an enemy in his eyes.

This guy not only didn't retaliate, he even cooperated.

After all, he felt very resentful about the slap he had given him, but in order to make money, he decided to treat it as a gift to him when they met!

If we lose our partnership, we'll take back all the money, plus interest, and slap him eighteen times over.

Before she took over "Yamagaigumi", she worked at Matsuba Bank. Back in 1989, she handled a loan for the Sugita Doll Factory, which was doing very well at the time.

With an area of ​​over 50 square kilometers, it has become a large piece of land in the industrial park, which is very enviable.

If the plush toy industry can continue to be profitable, it can save a lot of trouble.

That thick stack of plans must be quite comprehensive, right?

I'm quite curious about what kind of business plan he presented. Is it really that profitable?

Ezaki couldn't help but ask Hideaki if they wanted to explore a deeper level of cooperation.

Ayako's unrestrained shouts pierced through the walls and went straight into Ezaki's ears.

He would occasionally shout "Help!", "How scary!", "How could this happen?"

Jiang Qi jolted awake; his left cheek, which hadn't been hit, turned bright red, and his smooth forehead also swelled up red.

"How could you do this..." Jiang Qi cursed instinctively, "Can't you even consider other people's feelings?"

Ayako even shouted, "She's better than that female club president!" "How can she compare to me?"

Ezaki covered his ears and lay face down on the small bed, the piercing sound hitting his brain directly...

It started at 8:30 and didn't stop until 11:30.

Ezaki lay on his back on the small bed, staring blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

Ezaki picked up the thermos from the bedside table, opened the lid, and poured it all over the off-white mattress of the small bed in an attempt to maintain his last shred of dignity.

"Those bastards in the next room defiled my ears... severely damaged my spirit, and caused my body irreparable exhaustion."

I've never felt so awkward and empty before. I really don't want to stay here. Am I going to have to hear these lewd sounds every night?

My face is so swollen and hurts... I want to go home... Damn it, why did you have to hit me in the face of all places?

Knock! Knock! Two knocks on the door.

"Yoko-chan~" Hideaki's voice was as annoying as ever, "Give me a good review for successfully stopping that straight guy from barging into your room and trying to kick you out!"

"Come in first," Ezaki said softly, sitting upright in a chair with his left leg crossed over his right. "Close the door."

Aren't you tired of sitting there?

Xiuming casually closed the door, walked to the small bed, plopped down, then sprang up, wiped his wet pants, and patted his hands on the thin sponge bed, sweeping away a patch of water.

Xiuming gasped, instinctively turning to ask, "Do you need water? Shouldn't you get an IV drip of saline solution to replenish fluids as soon as possible?"

“It’s okay, I’m used to it,” Ezaki said, turning his chair to face Hideaki. He then slowly took his left leg off his right, raised his right leg high, and slowly placed it on his left.

"You've exposed yourself."

"Really?" Ezaki froze, then regained his expressionless face. "Even if there was a wardrobe malfunction, you shouldn't be staring at it!"

"I'm flawless right now, it's just that the lingerie has caught my eye. I want to make a set for Riko." Xiuming sensed that something was off about her, so he casually brushed her off and tilted his head to say, "Give me that good review from earlier."

“You’re very fixated on positive reviews,” Jiang Qi said, changing his leg-stretching posture again. “Do you want some kind of obedience training again? Let’s switch! Tell me about the good project you just invested in. If I’m satisfied, I’ll give you a positive review.”

"So that's what it was about. I thought you were going to... Sigh, after all, Ayako just now really... Let's not talk about that."

An aggressive glint flashed in Ezaki's eyes. Hideaki, not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer, quickly steered the conversation to the main point, "Let me tell you about my startup project!"

He sat on the bedside table next to Ezaki and briefly explained the plan regarding Pokémon.

"I'm planning to find a game studio and hire a few more programmers. Do you know anyone you know? Can you recommend one?"

While Hideaki was speaking, Ezaki changed his sitting posture several times and stared directly into Hideaki's eyes.

The echoes of Ayako's shouts from the next room kept replaying in her mind, such as "She's better than that female president, right?" and "How can she compare to me?"

"So it was about making games," Ezaki only remembered the gist of it, but he heard the last question clearly. "You can ask Eri. I remember there was a bored programmer who worked as a headhunter for me. He pursued her, but ran away after finding out she was heavily in debt."

"Shouta?"

Xiuming immediately thought of the young man who shouted, "I will definitely go to the bubble bath shop."

Chapter 80: Pull the paper tube out again, then put it back.

"Oh, that must be him..."

Ezaki responded casually, silently pondering how to let Ayako know how powerful she was, so that she would never dare to speak so arrogantly again.

Intimidate her?

She seems to be acting recklessly because the man in front of her is backing her up... I have no choice but to deal with him first.

He seems to value profit a lot. Once there's a deeper collaboration, he probably won't care about Ayako's feelings anymore, right? After all, he can even cooperate with Ayako's ex-husband, whom she dislikes.

Of course, fixing Ayako was just a side thing; his plans for the Pokémon games were also very promising.

The new young members who joined the organization recently have lost interest in girls. They're either addicted to games or pachinko, and they're even perfunctory in their work.

“Eri should still be at my supermarket,” Hideaki nodded, putting on a smiling face, and said, “Let’s continue with the topic of ‘positive reviews’! You can just open your mouth and it comes out, it’s so easy.”

Ezaki sensed a hint of seduction in his words.

He seems to really care about "positive reviews," isn't this some kind of obedience test?

Recalling the previous two instances of asking for "good reviews," he first massaged her head, and then instigated Ayako to knock on the door before stopping her. It felt like he was deliberately creating a favor, and afterwards he used this as an excuse to ask for "good reviews."

Did you never receive praise from your teachers when you were in school, and are now desperately hoping to use "good reviews" to make up for past regrets?

That's a really strange quirk.

You're such a childish little brother.

"Your business plan sounds ambitious, requiring a significant investment! How about we collaborate on game development?"

As Ezaki spoke, he picked up a blank A4 sheet of paper scattered on the floor and took a ballpoint pen. "I can provide both people and money."

"It might not work. Although your underworld background will provide me with a lot of convenience, it won't be long before we enter a period of strict crackdown. I'll only consider it after that period is over."
