Chapter 547: Alive
A few days later at noon, Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived at Makoto Natsui’s place for lunch. Shortly after he entered, she said with feeling, “I wonder if Tomomi arrived safely in Bangkok, Thailand?”
“It’s hard to say. It’s not guaranteed that the ship threw her into the sea to feed the sharks in the middle of the trip. Thailand is also one of the countries where the custom industry is well developed, especially Bangkok.
Thailand is not only a paradise for men, but also for women. Nowadays, a lot of Japanese women travel to Thailand to visit male prostitutes.
When Uehara Tomomi dresses up, she’s still quite good and should be popular with the men.” Masayoshi Kishimoto wasn’t exactly joking when he said.
Natsui Makoto was nervous, not without worrying about her best friend, “What kind of people are you looking for? Are they reliable or not? Didn’t you say you’d arrange for Tomomi to go out on an overseas labor dispatch?”
“You’re right, if you think about it a little bit, you’d know that people who help others to run away would be good people. It’s supposed to be a criminal offense. Why would anyone do it? The figure is just a lot of money.
This see color forget righteousness, see profit forget righteousness of the snakehead and not no. There is also a high risk of running away. As for overseas labor dispatch, that’s just a cover for running away.” Masayoshi Kishimoto deliberately made a bad attempt to scare her a bit and said.
Natsui Makoto believed it, and was suddenly as anxious as an ant on top of a hot pot, fearing that an accident would happen to Uehara Tomomi, saying, “What to do, what to do? I don’t have Tomomi’s cell phone number anymore.”
Kishimoto justice looked at her this naive look can not help but laugh up, said: “In general, other people encountered the Uehara Tomomi such a friend, can avoid, can be pushed to push, for fear of the other side of the trouble implicated in their own. You’re good, you took the initiative to help.”
“Don’t you feel sorry for Tomomi?” Natsui Makoto asked rhetorically.
“What’s there to pity? When she borrowed the loan shark in the first place, she should have thought that this one possibility would happen. I don’t know, that’s kids. She is an adult.
Not to mention that this one thing, loan sharking, is one of the basic common sense things of life, something that cannot be touched. Once you touch the loan sharks, it is like a drug that will give the borrower the illusion or hallucination that money can come so easily.
If money was so easy to come by, would the tens of millions of people living in Tokyo need to work hard every day? The lower the social class, the harder they have to work.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to breathe, and would soon be drowned in the torrent of real life.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
Natsui Makoto had the deepest empathy for some of the things he said, after all, she herself was born from the lowest class. She is particularly lucky, in a coincidence, is only from the bottom of the inside to be able to climb out.
Her present life, not dare to say is the upper social class, is also the middle class in the upper reaches. The current high-class elevator apartment was in her name.
Having a three-room, two-bedroom apartment in Ueno, Taito Ward, Tokyo, was not a simple matter. It was like having a large three-bedroom apartment not in Beijing’s Third Ring Road, but also in the Fourth Ring Road.
Old Beijingers have long had a set of their own, and it’s common for those in institutional compounds not to look for those in non-institutional compounds. This to the ordinary people there, living in the third ring, also tend not to look for people outside the third ring.
The family has a few suites, is very great? Fangshan, Tongzhou …… suburbs. The main city three, four ring within the people a suite can top you several suites.
“I was just teasing you. It’s not like Tomomi Uehara went to Bangkok, Thailand by boat, but by plane. The overseas labor dispatch company I arranged for her is also quite formal.
The rest of her life is her own business. As her best friend, you have already done your best.
I may sound snobbish, but I’m being realistic. You and Uehara Tomomi aren’t supposed to be in the same world anymore.” Justice Kishimoto said seriously.
“You do know that I ran away from Wakayama Prefecture to work in Tokyo when I was in my teens. At the very beginning, I didn’t even have a head start on renting an apartment, so I lived inside an internet caf茅.
I lived there for half a year. After I had saved up enough money for the down payment on an apartment, I moved out of the Internet cafe and stayed in the same hut that you have been to.
I had to work for more than ten hours a day. Prices in Tokyo are really expensive. I met Tomomi at a part-time job.
At that time, we were both poor, but we never wanted to go to a place like that to make a quick buck. We encouraged and comforted each other.
Now that she’s turned out to no longer have her feet on the ground, I can’t help but feel really sad for her.” Natsui Makoto got sad and said.
“It’s normal that Uehara Tomomi has changed, and it’s strange that you haven’t. Tokyo is an international metropolis that can completely dye pure people into colors.
It’s not only a place of materialistic desire, but also a place of glamor and glitz and glamour. As long as you have money, your life will become colorful, and you will not have to go from your rented place to your part-time job and back to your rented place.
Whether in Marunouchi in Chiyoda-ku, the financial center of Japan, or in a poor izakaya in Adachi-ku, you can hear people talking about stocks, futures, financing, and so on.
You can also hear people who used to be poor, but now they have become rich overnight.
Time after time, it will make people in the thought above there may be two kinds of changes in the situation. One is to believe in the truth and take a gamble.
Uehara Tomomi is to choose this road. In fact, it can be understood, after all, human nature are yearning for a better future life, not willing to live day after day without hope.
Tomomi Uehara is able to calculate clearly with their current hourly wage to do a lifetime to death will only be able to earn so much money.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there are many Japanese women earning less than 2 million yen a year, far more than men.
The other type of people are those who have developed antibodies in their bodies and have become isolated from the real world they live in and the real world that others talk about with envy.
These people are like those who have never been to Disneyland even though they live in Tokyo. The radius of their life and work is so small.
Their small wish is to live well, not to live so tired, in addition to general survival consumption, entertainment and leisure consumption are under a strict control.
They live a small and cautious, but also live the most real. You probably belong to this category.” Justice Kishimoto said slowly.
