Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Except for a few kinds of goods that have not been contracted yet and can only be replaced by others, other problems have basically been solved.

The warehouse, which was once empty and full of rats, was now filled with new goods. Fujii Itsuki also asked Asada Ichiyo to help with the accounting.

Everything is in order.

The only thing he complained about was that his wallet had shrunk by half.

These retail contracts start from a full year, and the money spent is no different from running water.

"Buzz-"

Perhaps because he saw the message status changed to "read", Xiao Lai, the nanny of the Matsumoto family across the street, sent him two more messages.

[Are you busy, Mr. Fujii? ]

【Can you please reply to me when you are free? 】

Fujii Itsuki had no intention of pretending to be mute, and typed a line of words on the mobile phone keyboard with both hands.

[…Eating breakfast.]

I was inexplicably tricked by Matsumoto Yuriko, and Fujii Itsuki hasn't bothered her yet. Is this woman going to cause trouble again, so she sent Xiao Lai to take the lead?

……

Chiyoda-ku, Ochanomizu luxury residential building, Matsumoto family.

[What's up, Xiao Lai? ]

1 minute ago from "Mr. Fujii".

In the spacious hall, Xiao Lai's face lit up with joy when he saw the reply letter from Fujii Itsuki.

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of Matsumoto Yuina's bedroom, and then quickly typed in the chat box.

[Mr. Fujii, would you mind coming to Matsumoto's house? ]

“…Go to Matsumoto’s house?!”

Fujii Itsuki's eyes narrowed slightly on the other end of the phone.

"What's the meaning?"

"After removing the fuel from the fire, you're going to use another trick to lure me into a trap?"

"This succubus rich woman doesn't play PUA in the workplace anymore, now she's playing the art of war?"

"Om-"

With his fingers hovering over the phone keyboard, Fujii Itsuki hasn't figured out how to answer when a new line pops up.

Unexpectedly, the person who invited him to Matsumoto's house was not the wealthy woman Matsumoto Yuriko.

Xiao Lai: [The sooner the better, Miss, please come over here! ]

"Miss?"

"Arina Matsumoto?"

The guess was overturned, and Fujii Itsuki was a little confused for a moment.

The grudge between him and Matsumoto Arina can be considered to have been settled.

It's been less than two weeks since we've been quiet, and already the young lady is itching to continue being a maid?

Fujii Itsuki: [What did you do in the past? ]

Xiao Lai: [This...]

Xiao Lai: [Mr. Fujii, I can’t explain it in a few words. I will tell you in detail on the way! ]

Xiao Lai: [Anyway, you first...]

In the living room of Matsumoto's house, Xiao Lai hadn't finished typing when the chat interface of his mobile phone Line was suddenly interrupted by the incoming call display.

"Jingle Bell--"

Looking at the call screen with the contact note "Madam", Xiao Lai panicked and hesitated for two seconds before pressing the answer button.

"Moshi Moshi, ma'am?"

"Well, Xiao Lai, where are you?"

The mature and lazy voice of Yuriko Matsumoto came from the microphone, mixed with the sound of mahjong hitting the table.

"Um, ma'am..."

"I'm buying groceries in the supermarket." Glancing at the quiet hall, Xiao Lai lowered his voice with a guilty conscience.

"Then hurry up, I'm going shopping with Mrs. Suzuki in the afternoon..."

"Bang, four, three!"

"I'll hang up now. Come over after you buy the groceries. Help me carry some things when I go shopping."

The voice of Yuriko Matsumoto on the phone was obviously pleasant, while Xiao Lai responded nervously.

"Okay, ma'am."

"Beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lai patted his chest with lingering fear.

If the lady knew about this, she would not only secretly drive to pick up the young lady and take her home, but also create an opportunity for the young lady and Mr. Fujii to be alone.

At the very least, she would be scolded by Yuriko Matsumoto, and in serious cases, it would not be excessive to fire her and send her home.

"I hope Mr. Fujii can comfort Miss..."

Xiao Lai sighed slowly in his heart.

The scene of Matsumoto Aruna wearing a black and white maid dress, standing obediently beside Fujii Itsuki and listening to his piano playing was still vivid in his mind. The atmosphere in the room was warm and harmonious. Xiao Lai had never seen so many warm colors in a young lady's eyes.

"It would be best if Mr. Fujii could stand firmly by Miss' side!"

"Instead of being like me, trying to please both sides and being caught in a dilemma..."

Walking lightly towards Matsumoto Yuina's bedroom, Xiao Lai put his hands down in front of his hips and said directly without pushing the door: "Miss, the lady asked me to go to her place."

"There are a lot of food in the refrigerator. The weather is cold, so remember to heat it up before eating when you are hungry."

"I...I'll go over first..."

After saying this, Xiao Lai turned and walked towards the door of Matsumoto's house.

In the bedroom, Matsumoto Yuina pulled the quilt over her head, but her bright eyes were still open, and she listened quietly to the sound of rain hitting the window outside.

……

In the living room of Fujii's house, Fujii Itsuki sat on the sofa holding his mobile phone and waited for a long time, but there was no news from Xiao Lai.

“…That’s it?”

"What kind of riddle man is this? He only tells half of the story?"

"What's wrong, Onii-chan?" The girl sitting next to him eating pineapple pie asked curiously, glancing at the screen of Fujii Itsuki's phone from time to time.

"Did Sister Saki ask you out on a date?"

"No, something urgent happened." Fujii Itsuki stood up and put his phone into his pocket.

"what's up?"

"Ai wants to go too!" The radar in Shimizu Ai's heart sounded an alarm, and her tender little feet wrapped in white socks stood up on the sofa.

Her sixth sense told her that even if Fujii Itsuki was not going on a date with Ogihara Saki, he must be going on a date with another woman!

"Boom!"

With his fingers skillfully tapping the girl's forehead, Fujii Itsuki uttered three words firmly: "...Impossible!"

"Humph--"

Feeling the force that was neither painful nor itchy, Shimizu Ai let out a soft moan and pouted her lips in grievance.

"You bad Onii-chan, you left Ai alone at home!"

"Are women outside more attractive than those at home?"

"Ai Yi is not bad, right?"

“…Don’t try that on me!”

Fujii Itsuki glanced at Shimizu Ai unhappily and reached out to ruffle the twin ponytails behind her head.

After tapping her forehead like he was coaxing a child, he took out a copy of Fukuzawa Yukichi from his pocket and stuffed it into Shimizu Ai's hand.

"You can take care of your lunch by yourself. I'm not sure when I'll be back."

"One... ten thousand yen!" Looking at the banknote lying quietly in her palm, Shimizu Ai's eyes lit up.

"Onii-chan is so generous!"

"Let's go have barbecue with Ono-chan. Bye, Onii-chan!"

Now that you have money, who would stay at home alone watching TV?

Isn’t it nice to go out and play with good friends?

After all, she was old, and Shimizu Ai was always lively and active. She stepped on the floor with her small feet wrapped in white boat socks, jumped off the sofa, and ran to the entrance before Fujii Itsuki without even putting on her slippers.

"...This little devil!"

After glancing at the hurried Shimizu Ai, Fujii Itsuki took out an umbrella from under the coffee table, changed his shoes and left Fujii's house.

……

"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"

The raindrops hit the umbrella, making a discordant sound.

Walking on the road, passing by pedestrians in the rain, Fujii Itsuki held an umbrella in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, reading the Line message sent to him by Xiao Lai.

"What do you mean by taking a leave of absence and taking over the Matsumoto family's entertainment agency from Matsumoto Yuriko?"

“…Is this human language?”

Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Some people go hungry for nine meals out of three days and have to work part-time in convenience stores. Some people don't want to go to school and just inherit the family business and become the president themselves.

Sure enough, the difference between people is greater than that between people and dogs!

Fujii Itsuki patiently continued to look at the text in the chat box.

Xiao Lai: [It all started because the mother and daughter had a quarrel. The daughter mocked the wife for spending so much money but still not being able to hook up with a pretty boy like Mr. Fujii!]

"Um?!"

"Can this also involve me?"

Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, put away his umbrella, swiped his card and walked into the station.

Xiao Lai: [My wife is so angry that she threatens to sell the family entertainment agency! ]

Xiao Lai: [Although the firm is running at a loss, it is the last estate left by the young lady's father and the last face of the Matsumoto Group. Naturally, the young lady is unwilling to agree.]

Xiao Lai: [And the young lady insisted that it was the wife's squandering that caused the Matsumoto Group to fall into its current state. The two disagreed, so they had another big fight! ]

Xiao Lai: [Madam was so angry that she gave the position of president and all the shares of the company to Miss. If Miss can't save the firm from bankruptcy, it will prove that it is not Madam's ability problem, and Madam will put the firm up for sale! ]

"Tsk, this is wonderful..."

"Just like in TV dramas, the rich people's stakes are often stocks, groups, etc., while the poor people just have to solve the problem of food and clothing."

Leave the platform, open the umbrella and walk into the rain again.

Fujii Itsuki can guess what will happen next. How can Matsumoto Arina, a student who has not yet graduated and has no social experience, save the huge Matsumoto Office?

Most likely it accelerated the firm's closure.

Xiao Lai: [But, the lady seems to have lost a lot of money...]

Xiao Lai was very detailed and told Fujii Itsuki about the affairs of Kaneda Teru and Minister Yoshida.

I hope Fujii Itsuki can prescribe the right medicine and comfort Matsumoto Arina’s sad heart!

However, she concealed the existence of the traitor Uesugi Asami, so it was not considered as a betrayal of the head of the family, Matsumoto Yuriko.
