Chapter 139 Style

In the evening, when Masayoshi Kishimoto came home from work, the situation he saw was not that Rie Sakai had made an early meal and was waiting for him to come back to eat with her. Instead, the top of the dining table was empty, and she was sitting alone on the long couch in the living room, fuming.

“How many meanings are there?” Masayoshi Kishimoto asked offhandedly.

Rie Sakai had thought and digested what Professor Suzuki had told her before and after. On one side, she felt guilty on a moral level, and even more or less guilty, while on the other side, she had to face the current reality.

“Today, Professor Suzuki asked for me?” Sakai Rie said looking a bit breathless.

When Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at her in this listless state, and having forgotten to make dinner, he knew that something was wrong with her, something was definitely on her mind.

He walked over to her side and sat down, saying in a cloudy voice, “If you look for it, you look for it. Is it hard to believe that he criticized you?”

“What in the world are you doing? What’s gotten into you that even Professor Suzuki of our school wants to see you.” Although Rie Sakai knew that he had sold the pachinko parlor and switched careers, she had never asked him specifically what kind of business he was doing.

“Loan sharking.” Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed impishly.

“Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?” Rie Sakai snapped and looked sideways at him and said.

“I know a what?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he locked eyes with her with a confused look.

“Professor Suzuki asked me to tell you that he would like to set up a date with you, so that two like-minded people can get together for a meal and a chat.” Rie Sakai said truthfully after a moment of silence.

Masayoshi Kishimoto belonged to the category of people who understood a little. Even if she didn’t make the cause and effect clear, she was able to make him guess to the extent of eight or nine.

He had never met the person called Professor Suzuki before. If the other party suddenly wanted to invite himself for dinner and chat, he must have something to ask for.

As the saying goes, if you are not solicitous, you are either a traitor or a thief. Even if Professor Suzuki wasn’t a traitor, he wouldn’t come as an elder professor to feast on a junior who had no friendship at all for no reason.

“Unexpectedly! Unexpected. Nowadays, I am so famous. Even your professor from Tokyo University of the Arts wants to invite me to dinner.” Masayoshi Kishimoto naturally thought of the investment above Dao.

“It’s not just dinner ……,” Sakai Rie was strangely embarrassed, only saying half of the words, leaving half of the words really couldn’t say it, said.

“It’s definitely not just dinner. Eating is just an excuse and a front. Eating, every day. It’s only a matter of eating well and eating poorly.

If you have something to say, just say it, do you need to stammer like this? This is not your usual style.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he leaned his back sideways on the back of the sofa.

“Professor Suzuki is highly respected at our school and has a dear friend who is a conductor at the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. The Tokyo Symphony Orchestra has an opportunity for a Western flute apprenticeship.” Rie Sakai didn’t dare to look at him and couldn’t help but lower her head in a small whisper.

Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled knowingly and said, “Virtuosity? Money, that’s what’s virtuous.”

“Painfully give me an accurate letter, do you see it or not?” Sakai Rie bit her lower lip hard, and raised her head openly to look at him and said.

“It’s not a question of whether I’ll see you or not, but how much do you want to go to the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra as a trainee Western flutist in your heart?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.

“For me, it’s not only a great opportunity to practice, but it’s such a beautiful addition to my future career, especially on top of my personal resume.” Rie Sakai said honestly.

“I see. It’s not good to let him invite. It’s better to let me invite it! That way, face is given to him. In case the negotiations don’t work out, it won’t have too much of a negative impact on you in the future.

We’ll have a drink with Prof. and Mrs. Suzuki, talk about life, ideals, and money. The venue will be the Kiraku Japanese Restaurant. The time will be 7:00 p.m. this Saturday night. On top of that, you write another formal invitation for me and send it to Professor Suzuki.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto knew deep down that people like Professor Suzuki belonged to the category of being a bitch as well as standing up a house of cards. The other party’s purpose was nothing more than wanting to make more money, but had to get in the way of the face and reputation of intellectuals and artists, and directly could not wipe that one face.

How can intellectuals and artists be particularly interested in money and passionate about it? This want to live a better life, enjoy each plus high-grade things, then money becomes essential and vital.

“Are you sure?” Sakai Rie hadn’t really expected him to agree so readily.

“Do you need me to write down a guarantee for you?” Masayoshi Kishimoto cried out.

“Why are you willing to help me?” Sakai Rie asked an extremely un-nutritious and knowing question and said.

“What do you think?” Masayoshi Kishimoto asked in return.

“We can make a deal. Even if you help me this time, it doesn’t mean that I’ll necessarily honor the marriage contract our two families made in the first place and marry you.” Sakai Rie’s small face slightly reddened up as she said in a serious manner.

“This is your usual style!” Justice Kishimoto had never thought of making a deal of any kind with her. Even if he wanted to make a deal, it would be with that Professor Suzuki.

If she didn’t do it, Rie Sakai wouldn’t be able to go to the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra as a trainee Western flutist. If you do, it depends on how you do it. He had to be careful about the return on investment. He wouldn’t do something with a big investment and a small return.

“Consider it all as me owing you a favor. In the future, I will definitely pay you back.” Sakai Rie did not have the slightest smile on her face, and her expression was very serious as she said.

“Whatever.” Justice Kishimoto never thought of asking her to return his favor in the future. His greatest pleasure was to make the other party fall in love with him voluntarily.

Tactics and tricks and all that, he wasn’t going to use them on Sakai Rie. He had to use his charisma to completely conquer her in order to make the other party fall in love with him.

Sakai Rie put up three fingers on her right hand with a serious look on her face and said, ”I can swear. If you are still unsure, I can even write you a paper guarantee. I, Sakai Rie, will not go back on my word and take advantage of you for nothing.”

“Are you done? Can we have dinner now! You’re not hungry, I’m hungry.” Masayoshi Kishimoto wanted to laugh out loud so badly at this look of her that her mind was still immature.

However, he couldn’t go about it like that at the moment, lest the other party start to get suspicious of himself and mistakenly think that he was just playing a trick on her.

Sakai Rie then remembered that she hadn’t made dinner and said, “I forgot to make it. Let’s go out and eat. My treat.”

“Sure! Can we eat anything?” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled.

“It’s expensive, I can’t afford it. It can only be average.” Sakai Rie hurriedly changed her words.
