My daily anime romance in Tokyo

Kato Megumi likes the bracelet that Aragaki Jun gave her very much. She is very careful every time she wears it and always wears long-sleeved clothes no matter how hot the weather is.

"Mei! It's already noon, time to eat!"

"Coming! Right now!"

Kato Megumi put the pure gold bracelet on the table, put on her slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up. Before eating, she went back to the room and put on the bracelet.

At the dinner table, Kato Megumi's father was still in high spirits. Since he was introduced to the stock market by his friends, his capital has nearly doubled!

"If you want to get rich, you have to go to the stock market. The salary you get from working is too slow to grow."

Kato Tomosai held chopsticks in his hand and did not forget to tell his wife about his discovery:

"In our company, people are also in a state of uncertainty right now. Everyone is rushing to enter the stock market~"

"Dad, the stock market is risky."

Kato Megumi doesn't know how to trade stocks, but she intuitively feels that too many people rushing into something may not be a good thing.

"Mei, your classmate said that there is no problem, but it depends on the timing."

Kato Tomosai heard his daughter pour cold water on him many times, and he couldn't help but say a few more words:

"The stock market is something that can only rise sharply if more people rush in and buy."

“Has it risen sharply recently?”

"Of course. The stocks that Wenxiong instructed me to buy have risen by one third in the past week and haven't stopped yet!"

"Then you should be careful too."

"Don't worry, your dad is keeping an eye on it. Two young people in our company actually quit their jobs to speculate in stocks, and I even tried to dissuade them."

Kato Tomosai raised his hand and asked his wife to pour him another glass of wine. After drinking only half a glass, his cheeks turned red:

"Mei, study hard and don't worry. I always consider the worst possible outcome. This time I decided to gamble so much that I also wanted to save some money for you to go to college."

"Dad, it's still too early for me to go to college..."

Kato Megumi also knew that his father had been very depressed over the years, so he was very determined to have the opportunity to impress others this time.

She asked her mother, and found out that not only had all the family savings been invested, but the house had also been mortgaged to the bank.

Even though these things were gone, Kato Megumi was not that worried. She just rented a house and gave up on taking the college entrance examination.

But the problem is that my father found a channel to borrow money from loan sharks and even leveraged it.

Because of her concern, Kato Megumi has reminded her father many times, but she is just a child after all and cannot decide major matters at home.

Let his mother persuade him, and she will listen to his father's arrangements and just support him blindly.

"..."

As Kato Megumi was thinking about things, she had no taste for her food. Kato Tomosai, who was sitting opposite him, looked at his daughter and became even more determined.

As a father, how could he let his daughter look down on him? He must succeed.

"Hey... Hui, when did you buy the bracelet you're wearing? It's very pretty."

Kato Tomosai had drunk quite a bit of wine, and his vision was a little blurry. He wanted to come over to take a look, but his daughter immediately put her hand under the table.

"Dad, the bracelet is not made of gold. I bought it at a street stall."

"Of course I know it's not real gold, it won't cost much, just your pocket money."

Seeing how much his daughter wanted it, Kato Tomosai did not ask her for it, but he made up his mind:

"Hui, after Dad finishes this round of speculation, I will take out the money and buy you a real gold bracelet. How can I let my daughter always wear fake ones?"

"That's settled, I'll be waiting."

Of course, Kato Megumi didn't want another bracelet of the same kind. She just wanted her father to withdraw the money from the stock market as soon as possible.

"Dad, when are you going to take out the money? I'm counting the seconds."

"It's almost there... it's almost there."

Kato Tomosai was full of hope for the future market and couldn't help but drink another glass of wine, and he really got drunk.

Seeing her drunk father trying to get up, Kato Megumi hurried over to help him and sent him back to the bedroom.

"Hui has really grown up and become sensible~"

"When did I become ignorant?"

Kato Megumi poured another glass of water and placed it on the bedside before returning to the living room to continue eating.

Not long after, snoring sounds were heard from the bedroom. Kato Megumi returned to her room after eating.

The summer homework is almost finished, but Kato Megumi keeps losing focus while holding the pen, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

"My dad has already said he's withdrawing from the stock market, so it should be okay."

Kato Megumi stopped thinking about these things and continued to do her homework patiently.

When she came to her senses, it was already evening. Kato Megumi stood up, stretched her body, and picked up her cell phone again.

At this time, the websites she often visited were in a state of chaos.

Just this afternoon, the stock market, which had been rising, actually fell a lot.

Although many people said that this was just an 'adjustment' to accumulate strength for the next peak, Kato Megumi always felt something was wrong.

She rushed downstairs and rushed into her parents' bedroom, trying to wake up her father...

Chapter 314 There's Always a Price to Pay

The stock market is a game of passing the parcel. When everyone goes from initial belief to doubt, everything begins to collapse.

After drinking, Kato Tomosai never acted crazy. He just lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and no one could wake him up.

But when he woke up, everything he believed in had changed.

In the following days, he wondered if he was dreaming, as he fell asleep after getting drunk that day and never woke up.

The stock market went from an initial adjustment to a downward cycle, and finally turned into an avalanche.

Everything seemed to be thrown into the fire. Before I could escape, all my hard work was burned...

A few days later, the entire island nation seemed to be seriously ill and became frighteningly quiet.

No matter if there is an earthquake or a landslide outside, the family always sits together at lunch time.

"..."

Kato Megumi didn't sleep well these days, and had dark circles under her eyes as she sat at the dinner table.

But opposite her, Kato Tomosai, who was originally full of vigor and vitality, seemed to have aged ten years in just a few days.

"Dad, it's okay. As long as people are still alive, they will get through it."

"I know...I know."

Kato Tomosai looked up at his daughter with a relieved smile on his face, but tears were also in his eyes.

Who could have imagined that in just a few days, the flourishing scene would be destroyed and countless families would be broken up.

Kato Tomosai had a difficult life in the first half of his life. He finally met a good wife and had a lovely daughter, whom he cherished very much.

But now, everything was ruined by his greed.

Kato Tomosai hated himself so much that he even wanted to commit suicide, but his wife and daughter still needed his care.

Kato Tomosai wiped his face. His daughter and wife looked at him worriedly and advised him to relax.

But... they didn't know how much money he had borrowed from outside.

Kato Tomosai held the chopsticks with his fingers, but his hands shook violently when he picked up the food.

Ding ding ding~!

The phone rang, and Kato Tomosai was so scared that the food he picked up fell back onto the plate.

Instead of answering the call in front of his daughter and wife, he took the phone into the bathroom.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, Kato Tomosai thought it was a debt collection call from those people.

Although a repayment time was agreed upon, the collapse of the stock market was well known to everyone, and they obviously couldn't wait.

"Pongzhai! It's me!"

"Wenxiong? You..."

Kato Tomosai didn't expect that the call was from his good friend.

Before he could comfort Hayasaka Fumio, the latter began to cry and apologize to him.

Fumio Hayasaka also regretted getting him into the stock market, causing him to lose everything and borrow so much money.

"..."

Kato Tomosai listened for a while and then interrupted his friend's apology.

After all, he did this on his own terms, and he was very grateful to Wenxiong for teaching him how to trade stocks.

When you can't make money, thank others; when you lose money, blame your friends.

Kato Tomosai comforted his friend with a few words, and Hayasaka Fumio was very moved and said thank you several times.

"Pengzhai, the stock market has crashed, and all the money is gone. Let's run away quickly. The people in the Zhengyong Society are cruel and ruthless. They can do anything."

"You...ran away?"

Kato Tomosai had not expected that his good friend would abandon his home and career and run away, but there seemed to be only one way out now.

Fumio Hayasaka had divorced his wife and gave his daughter to her for raising. Then he left the house and fled immediately.

“Pengzhai, you have to be quick. There are so many people running. They will definitely catch people.”

"I know...I know."

Kato Tomosai licked his lips, and after hanging up the call with his friend, his hands were shaking so much that he almost dropped the phone.

"No hesitation... No hesitation..."

Kato Tomosai gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, but now was no time to cry.
