When Akimoto Yasushi and Nakamura Keiji arrived, they didn't see Tao Zhiming's person, so they asked in shock: "Where is the president?"

"...There is something urgent at the moment, so I have to...not go." Sakai Izumi still couldn't calm down. As long as he was in that nervous mood at that time, he suddenly heard that he was invited to meet by the Prime Minister. It was really too much.

Too unexpected.

So much so that now I have an absurd feeling that I am influenced by myself.

After all, I was just hoping that something would happen and that he would be able to leave first, or that the president and the others would arrive soon...

"This..." Qiu Yuanyasu shook his head helplessly, "As for the new song, it can't be done without him. I'll call and ask."

"No!" Sakai Izumi said immediately, "Now... we can't disturb him..."

The statement was so weird that Akimoto Yasushi and Nakamura Keiji couldn't help but look at each other.

Late at night, since he was the one who called me just now, and he was probably with Sakai Izumi, is there anything urgent that I have to go to now?

And it hasn’t been long, so we should still be on our way.

Unless... Akimoto Yasushi looked at his feet. Could it be that he went downstairs to "sober up"? Who is coming?

Sakai Izumi didn't know if he could tell them that the prime minister had invited them, so he said: "That song... the president sang it just now. I probably still remember it, or else..."

Qiu Yuanyasu, who was in a special mood, looked at her, who had become nervous, and then glanced at the empty office. He wondered what it was like here just now when Tao Zhiming was singing to her alone.

"...There are actually two songs." Sakai Izumi pursed his lips, "The other one...is also very nice..."

…

Tao Zhiming, who had sang "Like a Fool" in a funny way, felt a little helpless on the road at this moment.

Although Takegami was officially elected as president today, today was just a formality.

He has been informally appointed for many days. Why do you suddenly want to see him at such a time today?

When you meet yourself, what are you going to talk about?

Tao Zhiming was unprepared, so he kept frowning.

Fortunately, Nojima Tatsuo is here. I think it's probably because of the things I talked to him about at night.

But before returning to the club, Tao Zhiming had fun with them at WanderKTV. Probably because he sang two songs there, the memories of music came alive, and he flirted with Sakai Quan Shui while drunk.

In the car, he kept frowning.

Arriving at the location Nojima Tatsuo mentioned, as expected, there was another restaurant.

Tatsuo Nojima was already waiting at the door. Tao Zhiming got out of the car and said helplessly: "Why is it so sudden? I can only force myself to take a shower first, change my clothes and come over quickly, otherwise I smell of alcohol."

"...Why don't you take a shower? Everyone is drinking, why would they think you smell like alcohol?" Nojima Tatsuo looked like he was too slow to arrive and walked in quickly.

"What's going on?"

"I called the president on the way back and said that you agreed to hold shares and wanted to ask about the possibility of semiconductor cooperation. It turned out that the president was entertaining Mr. Takegami, so Mr. Takegami said that if you have time now

, you might as well come over and meet."

"..."

Tao Zhiming is really convinced. You, the dignified president of Mitsui, entertained Takegami, the new prime minister, and why did you answer the phone in the middle? Good guy, it seems that the relationship is very close in the first place, so you don't need to care about this.

But when Zhu Shangta heard his name, he invited her out of the blue, and it didn't seem like he had a sudden intention.

I probably had this idea for a long time, but it just happened that the president of Mitsui was also there.

Nojima Tatsuo arrived at a door, and there were two people standing there.

"I'm sorry." Nojima Tatsuo bent down.

"Is Mr. Tao here? Please come in."

The two people at the door opened the door. Tao Zhiming took off his shoes and walked in. He saw three people sitting inside.

Takegami raised his head and smiled, but next to him was the secretary Aoki Tsubo who had appeared on the day Professor Iwasaki Kuranosuke first appeared.

Sitting opposite them was naturally Yukihiro Miyata, the current chairman of Mitsui Bank.

"This is our first meeting. Congratulations to Mr. Takegami. Something happened suddenly. I rushed here in a hurry and lost my composure..."

Tao Zhiming bent down and heard Zhu Shangta smile gently: "Please sit down quickly. I took the liberty of disturbing you, Mr. Tao, please don't take offense."

"It's my honor to meet Mr. Takegami."

Takegami kept looking at him with a smile, and after he sat down, he said: "Previously, Suzuki-san, Hashimoto-kun, and Itoyama-kun have all praised Tao-kun for his dignified appearance and outstanding insights. I finally met him today.

, Tao Jun, when I heard Miyata-san mention your name on the phone, I suddenly wanted to meet this young talent of yours. Now looking at your conversational style, you are indeed known as the 'World's Strongest 20-Year-Old Man'!

"

"...Ashamed." Tao Zhiming secretly cursed. After the brothers came in, wasn't this just greetings? What kind of conversational style did they have?

He's giving someone a nickname again. He's the most powerful 20-year-old man in the world. Damn, he's wearing a high hat and it's definitely going to be bad.

"Tao Jun's reputation is now spread all over the world." Takegami actually said something meaningful, and then said, "I took the liberty to invite Tao Jun here, but it is actually because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a request today, involving

Tao Jun, I want to hear your opinion."

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" Tao Zhiming was a little surprised, "Is it something related to the Tokyo Fashion Festival?"

"No." Taketa smiled and shook his head, "It's an invitation from the Ouilt royal family."

Tao Zhiming's expression was like thunder: "The Royal Family of Ouilt?"

When did my friend have a relationship with a big Gold owner?

Takegami smiled very interestingly: "That's why I said that Mr. Tao has made his statement far and wide. The Ambassador of Ouilt in Neon conveyed the invitation of King Farhad to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that Prince Hasar admired Mr. Tao very much.

The kendo aura on the cover of Forbes makes me want to learn some kendo from Tao Jun. Tao Jun, this is a very rare opportunity."

Tao Zhiming had mixed feelings in his heart, what the hell is this?

The royal family has nothing to do, is it too busy? Everyone earns tens of thousands of dollars per second, so who will accompany you to do this?

Seeing Tao Zhiming's constipated expression, Nojima Tatsuo and Miyata Yukihiro never expected that Takegami would invite him over at this time just to talk about such a thing.

"...Mr. Takegami, as you know, I'm afraid I will have to be very busy with matters in the Tokyo Fukuoka and the Tokyo Yacht Home Port..."

"It's okay. Prince Hasar plans to visit Tokyo next week. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will arrange it. Tao Jun will take half a day to receive him. Since Prince Hasar loves kendo, it's just a good idea to invite him to Ueda-san's dojo.

Observe. I heard that Ueda-san is preparing to reopen the dojo in Kyoto. It should be time to restore the historic dojo to its original appearance."

Tao Zhiming's eyes narrowed, he looked at the smiling Zhushang Tao, bowed and said, "Yes, then I will ask Father to prepare as soon as possible."

…

Naturally, he returned to Ueda's house at night. Ueda Masahiro, who was woken up, was stunned when he heard the news: "The Ouilt royal family...an invitation from King Farhad? A visit from Prince Hasar?"

Tao Zhiming kept frowning: "Takegami wouldn't make it up, it must be true. However, he also took the opportunity to once again hint at my support for Hashimoto Taro, so he mentioned that he would stay in Kyoto

Reception at the dojo over there. Master, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will contact you tomorrow... The dojo in Kyoto must be restored to its original appearance as soon as possible. I just can't figure out why the Ouilt royal family found such an excuse to meet with me?

I never heard that the princess of Ouilt can marry outside."

When Masahiro Ueda heard this dirty talk, he felt like cutting off his DNA again.

Tao Zhiming was really puzzled.

He didn't care that it was late now, so he called Tao Yaren: "Are you asleep?"

"...What do you think?"

"I'm sorry, if it hadn't been for something unexpected, I wouldn't have contacted you now." Tao Zhiming said concisely, "Master Takegami invited me to meet him just now. He said that King Fahad of the Ouilt royal family had informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the ambassador.

He extended an invitation and asked me to receive Prince Hasal during his visit to Neon. He said that he loves kendo. What the hell is this reason? Do you have any information about why the royal family of Ouilt specially wanted to meet with me? "

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Tao Yaren said in a complicated tone: "...There is no information at all. But isn't that a good thing?"

"If it's inexplicable, it'll be very scary, okay?"

Tao Zhiming answered the question about his meeting with Takegami, saying that he only talked about this matter and the rest were purely casual, and then he hung up the phone and continued to frown.

He always felt that this matter was not simple because there was really no reason.

Ueda Masahiro analyzed: "Perhaps it was just because it was reported by Forbes magazine before that it attracted their attention. This is just an ordinary foreign affairs activity. I have participated in similar activities before."

"Is it also the Ouilt royal family?"

"...Don't be kidding. What do you suspect?"

"It's because I don't have any suspicion that I feel uneasy. My intuition is very accurate!"

Tao Zhiming didn't like this unexpected situation because it was too inexplicable.

He thought about it, and the king and prince of Gou Dahu probably only told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that they liked kendo. They should be really interested in other aspects.

But what needs an excuse to cover up?

Tao Zhiming hesitated for a moment, then suddenly his heart moved and he started calling again.

"Theresa, after you sent out the news about my super yacht, has anyone from the Ouilt royal family contacted you?"

As a wealthy person, the most luxurious thing is. Seeing the avant-garde style superyacht proposed and designed by Tao Zhiming, maybe he came here specifically to exchange yacht experiences with me.

"The royal family of Ouilt?" Teresa's voice was very surprised, "Not yet, why do you ask?"

"……Yeah?"

Tao Zhiming had to explain again, and Teresa immediately said enthusiastically: "Tao! During the reception, we must talk about the topic of yachts!"

"...I know, just keep an eye on my yacht for me."

Tao Zhiming hung up the phone with a frown on his face.

Masahiro Ueda was speechless: "As I said, it might just be a simple foreign affairs activity."

"My intuition is very accurate! There must be something wrong!"

Tao Zhiming insisted on his opinion and walked around the room gritting his teeth.

In the middle of the night, her husband was woken up, and Haruko Ueda had already gotten up. Seeing him like this, she could only look at Masahiro Ueda for help: "Why don't you ask your friends to see if there is any other information that Dalang doesn't know?

of?"

Masahiro Ueda was convinced: "It's already one o'clock in the evening."

However, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Tao Zhiming's intuition turned out to be right.

At this point in time, a call actually came to his mobile phone.

After Tao Zhiming got through, he heard the other person ask: "Is it one o'clock over there now? Did it wake you up?"

"No, I haven't slept yet." Tao Zhiming said to Ueda Masahiro again, "Friends from Xiangdao."

"Is there anyone around? Can you come to Xiangdao tomorrow?"

Tao Zhiming was very confused: "Didn't we agree with Xiangdao? Just do it as planned later. Hobo, I'm... very busy here."

"...very important things, very, very important!"

This was the first time Tao Zhiming heard him emphasize this. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked in a strange way: "Isn't it related to the Ouilt royal family?"

"You know?" Huo Yingdong looked very surprised, and then his tone became very nervous, "How did you know?"

"...The new prime minister of Neon invited me to meet him in the evening. He said that Prince Hasar of the Ouilt royal family was going to visit Neon and would like to see me then. Because of this, I am confused!"

Huo Yingdong was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "I can't help you this time. Anyway... If you can arrange it tomorrow, come to Xiangdao. You have a reason to come to Xiangdao, but I don't have a good reason to go."

Neon is looking for you."

"Can't we talk on the phone?"

"What do you think?"

Tao Zhiming really felt bad now. After all, Huo Yingdong said something that made him sorry.

It feels like a big trouble.

"...Okay! I'll leave as soon as possible and I'll arrive before noon."

After hanging up the phone and looking at Tao Zhiming, who looked ugly, Ueda Masahiro asked worriedly: "I seemed to have heard Ouilt just now, do you understand the reason?"

"...I don't know yet. I'm going to Xiang Island tomorrow. Someone there seems to know the reason."

Masahiro Ueda hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but ask: "Is it because of the previous stock market crash, you..."

Tao Zhiming couldn't laugh or cry: "Where did he think he went?"

He understood that Masahiro Ueda knew that he had made a lot of money before, and thought that Tao Zhiming had caused losses to the royal family.

However, after Tao Zhiming thought about it for a long time, his scalp was already so numb that it could no longer be numb.

You won't let yourself encounter that, right?

But thinking about Huo Yingdong's identity, thinking about this time, and the name Ouilt Royal Family, Tao Zhiming began to feel uncomfortable all over.

Damn it, did you leave such a good impression on Huo Yingdong before that you are involved in that matter now?

There is absolutely no time to get involved in this matter at this moment.

Anyway, even if I didn’t have it myself, I finally got it done.

My friend, let’s just talk about swordsmanship with Prince Hasal and see if we can sell yachts.

Tao Zhiming's scalp became even more numb when he thought about the yacht.

Damn, it seems that in the secret, it was the members of the Ouilt royal family who used the yacht to cover up.

Tao Zhiming's expression as if he had hemorrhoids frightened Ueda Masahiro a little. He couldn't help but ask: "Is it very serious?"

"...It's okay, I can handle it."

Masahiro Ueda's worried expression did not change: this forced smile was really not convincing.

Then Tao Zhiming really laughed calmly: "It's okay, I can handle it! Anyway, if I don't want to, no one can force me!"

…

Sakai Izumi wanted to ask Tao Zhiming again to perfect the two new songs, but then he heard from the president that he hurried to Xiangdao early in the morning.

The brief interaction last night seemed like a dream, and I heard two new songs. However, he was very busy today, and the atmosphere was already very strange before he received the call from the Prime Minister last night inviting him to meet.

Sakai Izumi breathed a sigh of relief, but felt inexplicably a little disappointed.

However, Tao Zhiming, who had completed the psychological construction, was still unavoidably upset and very embarrassed.

Now that I have arrived in Xiangdao, I simply made a phone call to Li Jiacheng and the others, and then said that I would make a special trip to visit Huo Yingdong first and explain it in person.

Let me release the impression that I still value friendship and don’t want to get involved in the disputes on Hong Kong Island, so I also found an excuse.

Tao Zhiming's massive acquisition of TVB stocks caused a fierce backlash from Shao Yifu. Tao Zhiming could have said that he did not expect everyone in Xiangdao to be so sensitive when it comes to finance; Shao Yifu, with his determination to kill everything, would not hesitate to turn against Tao Zhiming to destroy all their plans.

, can also be interpreted as overreaction at a sensitive time of the major stock market crash, which is also in line with some of Shao Yifu's character.

After all, it was because the crew needed to use raw pancakes for filming and the cafeteria happened to have none. The director wrote an order and asked him to approve it. Because the price was more expensive than the ones in the cafeteria, he thought the crew was bullying him because he didn't understand the market. For more than 20 yuan

Qian's fried food cost the crew more than 10,000 yuan a day.

Tao Zhiming made these gestures, and it seemed more natural for Shao Yifu to get off the donkey when he turned around.

But the main purpose was to cover up. After meeting Huo Yingdong and seeing him carefully clearing away everyone around him, Tao Zhiming sighed and felt that they were inseparable.

Sure enough, Huo Yingdong said: "Let me apologize to you first. Don't be afraid of what I will say next. If you don't want to, just treat it as if you are just here to chat with me. If you hear anything, just leave this door."

Rotten in the stomach."

Tao Zhiming felt that he had undergone strict training and would not be afraid no matter how scary things were.

Unless things are really big.

But as soon as Huo Yingdong opened his mouth, Tao Zhiming backed down.

"This matter...is related to a big deal between Xia Guo and Ouiert."

This matter is really not a question of whether it is terrible or not, it is really that kind of... that kind of...

Anyway, after Tao Zhiming heard the words "big express", he stood up, with a kind face as if he had just met and exchanged greetings: "Huo Bo, how are you these days? So what, did the Huo family suffer any losses in the stock market crash?"
