The agreed meeting time is 11:30 noon.

The Yuan family left home at 10:50.

I'm going to be extravagant today and take a taxi.

Because the restaurant booked by the Sawamura family is not too far away, if they take the train, they will have to transfer at another station, which will make the time more tight.

There are five people in the family, so we have to take an extra taxi.

Yuan Qianye, who was riding alone in the car, added a "buying a car" plan behind the original "new home" in his short-term plan book.

Mr. Sawamura has booked a dinner for today at a long-established Japanese restaurant in Ginza.

This restaurant has a century-old history and adopts a membership system.

Needless to say, the quality of the ingredients is very important. We focus on seasonality and origin factors, and only use fresh sea urchins from Hokkaido, which are air-shipped for fast delivery.

Wagyu beef only uses top-quality Kobe beef. Every dish served comes with a pedigree certificate for that type of beef, which shows the detailed information about the life of this lovely cow.

Apart from Niu Niu cursing Gan Lin's mother in the underworld, the sense of ritual and artistry of dining has been taken to the extreme.

Mr. Sawamura had originally taken into consideration the social class of the Minamoto family, their feelings, and the pressure they would put on him to return the favor, so he had not originally planned to choose such a high-end venue for the dinner.

But then he thought of his beloved daughter's good friend, Yukinoshita Yukino, and her family.

For some considerations, he felt that it was necessary for him to demonstrate the general strength of the Sawamura family.

Not for myself, but for my daughter.

Ying Lili was completely unaware of this. She had arrived in the restaurant's private room in advance and when she saw the Yuan family coming, she was very lively and cheerful and greeted Qianye's parents first.

After receiving their comments that her smiles were cute and sensible, she sat down next to Rikka and Touka with a blushing face and a cheerful mood.

In the center of the private room is a horizontal long stone table, which is hollowed out and sunken in the middle to create a miniature landscape. The faint sound of flowing water reveals a hint of the tranquility of the mountains and forests, and there is swirling mist rising from the inner edge, making it even more mysterious and awe-inspiring.

The adults began to chat in a familiar manner, while the three girls sat on the other side.

Yuan Qianye took a taxi alone later and arrived a little later.

However, after he was brought in by the waiter, even though he was a junior, the Sawamura couple gave him the same respect and stood up as they would their own daughter.

Especially Mr. Sawamura, after Yuan Qianye greeted him politely, he laughed and gestured for him to come to his side, and put his arm around his shoulders very affectionately.

After Mrs. Sawamura pulled out a chair for him with a smile, Mr. Sawamura gestured for her to sit down and sat next to him.

What followed were some extremely praiseful words, such as "a good son is born from a good father", "a self-disciplined handsome boy", "smart and hardworking".

Let everyone present see the solid language skills of an excellent diplomat.

Mr. Sawamura continued talking here until he was gently kicked by his beloved wife. Then he realized that the smiles of the person he was praising and his parents were a little forced.

He finally reacted and quickly stopped, called the waiter, and signaled that the food could be served.

Eriri also found an opportunity to pull her best friend away from her annoying father and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, my father is just like that. He gets carried away sometimes."

This was no big deal for Yuan Qianye.

What he is very curious about now is how much money Mr. Sawamura made from his casual remarks before.

Soon, as various dishes were served and Mr. Sawamura took the initiative to bring up this topic, he knew the answer to this question.

A full 80 million!

Even for the wealthy Sawamura family, this is not a small amount of money.

Considering that if you don't follow Yuan Qianye's advice, not only will you not make so much money, but you will also suffer a net loss of tens of millions.

If you take this loss and gain into account, then in a sense the Sawamura family has avoided a loss of over 100 million yuan!

Mr. Sawamura took advantage of Mr. Gen's enthusiastic toast and, under the influence of alcohol, told Junko Takanashi what happened that day in more detail. The girl didn't quite understand but was deeply shocked.

The atmosphere is hot!

On the other side, Liuhua and Juhua also looked at Yuan Qianye with quite incredible eyes.

Yuan Qianye knew what they were thinking, but there was nothing he could do.

At that time, the family didn't have any spare money, so there was enough room for him to try.

But it doesn't matter. Thanks to Saeko, the family will be rich soon, so there's no need to worry.

He was still a teenager, and his parents were far from the point where they would want to take care of them but they were no longer around.

Experiencing the feeling of your life gradually getting better because of your hard work is also an enjoyable process.

After three rounds of drinks, they were the only two people drinking at the table.

Yuan's father is fine. As a bartender, his work focuses mainly on wine. Every time a new wine is released, he has to try it himself. His alcohol tolerance is not bottomless, but he can drink much more than the average person.

As for Mr. Sawamura, although he has a lot of social engagements as a diplomat, most of them are for work. Many times he just dabbles in them and just gets the point across. Therefore, his lack of exercise is about the same as that of an average person.

In addition, he was particularly happy today. Seeing Yuan's father drinking so heartily, he felt that he should drink with him to the fullest, so he could not control his intake of alcohol, and gradually started to drink a little too much.

"...Really, Brother Sanada, your son is incredible! Even though he said he was just guessing, he was able to guess so accurately. Even professional finance professors can't do that. This kid has a certain talent!"

"You're exaggerating, Mr. Sawamura."

"That's not an exaggeration, really! I know a bit about physiognomy. Look at this kid, Qianye. His pupils are like water and stars, his forehead bridge reaches the blue sky, his features are upright, and his aura is natural! He has the aura of an emperor. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. All he needs is a virtuous wife to match him. If you don't mind, my Ying..."

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

Mrs. Sawamura smiled and withdrew her palm, covering her mouth with her hand as she laughed. "Really, honey, you like to joke around when you're drunk. It's a habit you really can't break. Come on, eat more. Don't you love the wild bluefin tuna belly in this restaurant the most?"

Mr. Sawamura raised his forehead which had fallen on the table, and his originally excited eyes became clearer.

Seeing Qianye's parents looking embarrassed, and Ying Lili glaring at him with shame and anger, he obediently opened his mouth and ate the food handed to him by his wife.

After a moment, he laughed and started talking about another topic as if nothing had happened.

But some words, once spoken, can never be treated as if they never happened.

After the lunch that day.

After returning home, Eriri cried and said, "Dad, you're such an idiot! I won't talk to you anymore!" Then she went straight to her room without looking back!

Mr. Sawamura was left at the entrance, looking pale, lying on the ground with his hands covering his chest, his eyes lifeless.

pain!It hurts so much!

Mrs. Sawamura held her forehead and sighed silently. Both her husband and daughter were a source of worry.

After returning home, Yuan's father half-jokingly asked his son what he thought about this.

However, Yuan Qianye directly retorted, "I'm still in junior high school, what are you thinking about, Dad?"

But to say that he has no ideas would be a lie.

His body was so well developed that he had discussed the mysteries of the human body with the girls around him in his dreams more than once.

Since entering junior high school, he has become increasingly aware of their charm as women.

He used to think that he would only consider his other half after he turned eighteen and graduated from high school.

But now it seems that perhaps this time will be brought forward much earlier.

In the afternoon, after finishing training at Saeko's place.

It was a little after four o'clock, still early, when Gen Qianye arrived at Touma's house.

Touma Yoko hadn't gone out today. Seeing him arrive, she happily waved the music magazine in her hand and said, "It's boring just staying in the piano room practicing. Why don't you consider joining a youth piano competition like Kazusa?"

…………

093: Their Concerns and Enlightenment (8500) (14/46)

Enter a youth piano competition...for fun?

When this person tells you how to participate in the competition, it feels as easy and casual as going to an amusement park.

This is too arrogant.

You know, as the national kendo champion, I have to train hard and prepare for the upcoming competition.

Oh, this person is the world champion, that’s okay.

"Why are you talking about this suddenly?" Gen Qianye accepted Touma Yoko's invitation and sat down on the sofa.

As he came to Touma's house more and more often, he no longer bought gifts every time he came.

It may seem a little impolite, but in fact it is proof that his relationship with the mother and daughter of the Touma family has become closer.

"I simply thought you might be interested," Touma Yoko said with a smile. "After all, this competition is organized by the most prestigious piano education alliance in the country. It's completely different from the Yulongqi competition you're about to participate in."

Yuan Qianye had a look of dazed surprise, as if to say, "I wouldn't have realized it if you hadn't told me." "Indeed, after all, kendo and piano have nothing in common. They are two completely different things."

"Hahaha, stop teasing me. You know that's not what I meant." Yaozi was so amused that she almost wanted to kick him in the shin. She reached out and realized something was wrong, but pulled back without a word. "I meant the rewards for achieving a specific ranking."

Yuan Qianye understood what she said.

Indeed, no matter what national junior high school kendo competition he had participated in before.

Or maybe it could be the Yulongqi Kendo competition that he was about to participate in.

They all emphasize honor and growth opportunities rather than material rewards.

Many contestants also believe that becoming famous and proving their hard work, efforts and strength, and gaining recognition and praise from others, are far more meaningful than material rewards.

Therefore, even if you achieve something in the end, it is nothing more than a commemorative trophy or medal.

At this time, Kazusa, who was notified by Aunt Shibata, also came out of the practice room and came to the living room.

Yuan Qianye greeted her with a smile, then asked with concern about the topic that Touma Yoko had just left unfinished: "So, is the prize money for that piano competition high?"

Kazusa asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"

After giving a brief explanation to his daughter, Yoko replied, "It's not that much. The first place winner will get four million, the second place winner will get three million, and the third place winner will get two million."

That is indeed the case for the Touma family, who have long entered the upper class.

But for Yuan Qianye now: "This is already a lot."

"Compared to kendo competitions, it's really not a small amount. This is just for teenagers. The prize money for adult competitions will be even higher, and you may also be able to establish relationships with sponsors and obtain a lot of additional resources."

"Auntie Yoko, you sound like you have an extra prejudice against kendo."

"Why call me auntie? Call me mom."

"cough……!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Hesa, who was eating snacks, choked, but she also patted her chest desperately and glared at her mother.

Even Yuan Qianye looked extremely speechless.

Eriri's father was drunk today and was talking nonsense. Why does this aunt here also look confused?

After Yaozi laughed nonchalantly, he brought the topic back as if nothing had happened.

"I'm not prejudiced against kendo, I'm just stating the truth. After all, kendo isn't exactly a popular sport among competitive sports. The Kendo Federation can't afford to spend money, so they can only promote things like honor and passion.

But piano is a completely different story in the music field. Most competitions offer direct prize money. Although it's not much, it's enough to show that this industry's ability to attract money is much better than the former. This is very real, don't you think? "

Yuan Qianye was speechless.

Well, after all, she was secretly trying to raise the importance of the piano on her side.

Hesha took a sip of water to calm down, then stood up unhappily and motioned Yuan Qianye to follow her: "I'm sorry, my mother drank some fake alcohol last night, so she's still a little confused."

"Then I'll go practice the piano first." Although he had just been teased to some extent, Yuan Qianye was still very polite when he left.

The more Yaozi looked at the two people, the more they seemed to be a perfect match. He smiled and gestured for them to go about their business and not to worry about him.

Not long after practicing with Kazusa in the piano room, Yoko walked in with a camera and a camera stand.

Seeing the two of them stop and look at her, she put down the stand and waved her hand: "Don't worry about it, you guys practice yours, I'll try not to make any noise."

"It's impossible that you don't care." Hesha put down the violin and stood up from the seat beside Yuan Qianye, looking unhappy: "Why did you bring a camera here?"

Yoko fiddled with the camera and said, "Hey, Kazusa, you know that if you want to participate in a piano competition, you need to provide a specific performance video for the preliminary round."
