Masahiro Ueda is indeed on fire.

After the first sentence was spoken, some information was later revealed intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, Tao Zhiming and Yamamoto Kenito visited his home together, and Shana is also the team leader of the Financial Sword Research Laboratory...

So Morijiro looked at Tao Zhiming with even more vigilance.

Tao Zhiming looked at Masahiro Ueda meaningfully, wondering what kind of plan he had.

But no matter what the plan is, one thing can be confirmed: Ueda Shana is a chess piece in it. Moreover, it is pure, because she loves her parents, so she chooses a chess piece that does not resist on the surface.

There was nothing attractive about the Izu dancer's dancing. When the dinner was over, Tao Zhiming found an opportunity to talk to Masahiro Ueda alone.

Mori Taiyoshiro obviously also knew that Tao Chiming's attendance at the meeting was the result of Ueda Masahiro's invitation. Therefore, he had no idea that Ueda Masahiro and Tao Chiming were together, and he just continued to talk with Kinoshita Hidefaze.

Tao Zhiming walked beside Masahiro Ueda and asked: "Sir Ueda, do you want to see more brilliant fireworks?"

The words were relatively vague, after all, Morijiro was walking not far behind.

Masahiro Ueda said calmly: "What are you talking about, Mr. Tao? As for fireworks, I'm afraid we have to wait until some festivals."

Tao Zhiming looked at him deeply and then said softly: "Sir Ueda, can you answer me a question?"

"Excuse me."

"Xia Na is your only daughter. All plans will always take her future into consideration, right?"

Masahiro Ueda walked slowly and looked up at the bright moon in the sky: "Of course."

Tao Zhiming sighed leisurely: "That's it... Lord Ueda, I suddenly have a lot more curiosity about you. However, I won't ask. I hope that one day, after knowing your plan, I will have sincere admiration for you."

Masahiro Ueda glanced at him and asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about?"

Tao Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Today's dinner gave me a new understanding of you."

"...What are you talking about?" Masahiro Ueda said still in an understatement.

But he still couldn't help but take another look at Tao Zhiming.

This young man allowed himself to express his feelings naturally on the phone last time, and he said this again today.

He is completely incomparable to Morijiro. His words are absolutely aggressive, just like a powerful swordsman.

The few words he said lightly only attacked his own weaknesses.

So what did he see? What did he think of?

…

"President Hirano wants to invite you to a family dinner, what exactly will you say?" Kinoshita Hidefeng couldn't help but ask after returning to the villa.

"I don't know." Tao Zhiming said truthfully, "I thought Mitsubishi would put forward their conditions and try to see if Takeda could seize the initiative to manufacture the land earlier and more effectively. Unexpectedly, it was just such an invitation, and it was

After the meeting is over."

"Suddenly I have an extra worry." Kinoshita Hidefeng said worriedly, "After all, he is the chairman of Mitsubishi."

"It's nothing." Tao Zhiming thought for a while and said, "If it is after the meeting, then regarding the cooperation in the near future, it is obviously more important to achieve the alliance with Sumitomo than to obtain the land. So, inviting me is perfunctory, maybe it is

Let’s focus on longer-term development. Brother Xiufeng, the patience of the big consortium is beyond our imagination.”

"I originally thought that today's dinner would be about a lot of things." Kinoshita Hidefeng nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect that it was just a message, but it turned out to be just an ordinary gathering."

"It's not ordinary." Tao Zhiming said thoughtfully, "Specialist Anzhai asked us to come here secretly, but I shouldn't be an unknown person anymore. There should be some forces in Tokyo paying attention to my movements, right?

When we come here and meet with the Mori Group, maybe the matter will spread. Everything else is fine, does Sumitomo have any extra thoughts?"

Kinoshita Hidefeng didn't care too much: "Anyway, I didn't agree to any other conditions today. Why don't we just follow Sumitomo's suggestion and move forward?"

"I'm fine. But in the eyes of outsiders, I'm yours." Tao Zhiming said seriously, "The negotiations on the private reform of the National Railways have reached a critical moment, and now others think that I represent you. Xiu

Brother Feng, it’s not good to leave Tokyo and just come here alone. Didn’t Mr. Inagawa make any arrangements?"

Kinoshita Hidefeng laughed and said: "I have been through many storms and waves. Don't worry, how could I not be prepared for such a thing?"

Tao Zhiming said nothing more.

Today, apart from Chairman Mitsubishi's invitation, the most puzzling thing is Masahiro Ueda's offer.

Tao Zhiming was a little confused. Since he was going to marry his daughter to Morijiro, why should he show his familiarity and respect for him in front of Morijiro, his father and grandfather?

…

"Father, then, who is Tao Dalang?" Morijiro returned to his residence and asked his father without restraint, "Why do you and grandpa pay so much attention to him? Why did President Hirano invite him to the banquet?"

Minoru Mori drank tea to sober up and said calmly: "Jiro, now you have started running your own business. You will meet many people in the future. You must learn to hide your strength and learn true humility."

"...That's what he is doing." Morijiro muttered, "If it weren't for that young man from the Tao family, why would President Hirano pay so much attention to him?"

"People with strength will naturally be respected." Minoru Mori said lightly, "There are some things that even if you are my son, you are not qualified to know now. You only need to know that he has obtained all this by his own ability.

Yes, that’s enough.”

Morijiro looked at his father blankly.

Even if you ask, can't you know the answer?

He was a little angry: "Didn't you bring me here to give me a clear understanding of the interest structure in Tokyo at the moment? Why didn't you tell me this matter?"

Minoru Mori glanced at him: "Do you think that the pattern of interests is explained to you one by one from big to small? Think about it carefully during tonight's meeting. Today's dinner is about Tokyo's interests at this moment.

An epitome of the pattern. We must learn

Think, Jiro! I'm already very rude tonight! I brought you here because I want you to see more and think more! There are some things that even I can't tell you easily. If you can understand it, then you are

The reason for being more valued in front of Father!"

Morijiro looked confused.

Minoru Mori sighed: "Ueda-kun is right. I finally met an outstanding young man today. Let's hang out with Tao Jun more in the future and learn from him."

"But he and Xia Na..."

"Confused!" Minoru Mori scolded sternly, "What is more important? A woman? I'm really embarrassed for you. No matter what, when your father told him the invitation and President Hirano asked him to attend the appointment, you shouldn't have asked.

Is he a frivolous member of the Tao family? You just need to know that he is important enough for President Hirano to invite him to the family dinner!"

Morijiro was speechless. That was true, but wouldn't it be equally useful to know more information?

So he said aggrievedly: "But you didn't tell me what kind of person he is."

"Patience! Jiro, patience!" Minoru Mori continued to scold, "Are you still a ten-year-old child? Can't you learn to put your questions in your heart first? Can't you wait until now to ask me? I won't tell you in advance, of course.

There’s a reason!”

He taught him a lesson for a while, and then sighed: "He is not a descendant of any family, he is a descendant of the Xia Kingdom. But what is important now is not his identity, but his ability. Ueda-kun said that regarding Mitsubishi's proposal to cooperate with Sumitomo,

He proposed it. With this vision and structure, he is an amazing young man! With his key position, he pushed Mitsubishi and Sumitomo to accelerate joint negotiations in advance. Whether it is intentional or not, it will be regarded as intentional first.

Treat. Do you understand?"

Morijiro didn't understand, so his expression was very cute.

Morijiro let out a long sigh and became angry: "Go and pour me a cup of tea! Then, I will tell you carefully! Really, Taro is no longer here, so we must work hard together with my brother's share."

!”

Morijiro blushed, but he still went to pour tea for his father.

Taro, Taro... Am I, Jiro, so incompetent?

…

That night was peaceful. Because of the uncertainty of the meeting the next day, Kinoshita Hidefeng didn't make any other arrangements.

After Tao Zhiming finished washing and lay on the bed, he made a phone call to Onodera Runa.

"...I just finished dinner and am already lying down."

Onodera Runa's voice was very gentle: "I understand. Why... why did you tell me specifically?"

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "No reason. What are you doing outside? You live in my house and I want to tell you."

"...Dalang." Runa Onodera's voice was very soft, "I can accept it."

Tao Zhiming leaned on the soft pillow and said: "I said some excessive things before. Why won't I always ask you to use that method? Why won't my heart completely belong to you? But, you are really so willing to become

I know how to cherish the woman who married me."

Onodera Runa was silent for a while and then said softly: "...I miss you."

Tao Zhiming had a smile on his face and said softly: "Wait until I get back."

"Well! Then, have a good rest. Tomorrow, we will face those big shots again."

"It's nothing, I'm not afraid of them."

"I know, you are the best!" Onodera Runa was in a good mood, "But it is an occasion like that after all. Since you can start to rest now, you should have a good rest. If in the future..."

She paused for a moment before continuing: "If you think you can take me there, I will let you rest well..."

"Can you rest, then?" Tao Zhiming teased, and then said, "There will be times like that. Runa, just sleep peacefully."

"Um!"

Tao Zhiming hung up the phone.

Women are like this, and mature and sensible women are even more like this. Having such an unexpected phone call is a surprise, and you feel some special affection.

But Tao Zhiming was indeed not just trying to comfort her.

Tomorrow is indeed a very important occasion, so there are no plans for tonight.

But just as he was about to go to bed, he couldn't escape the phone call.
