Chapter 465: 461. Thinking Too Highly of Himself (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)
Nakamura Senkawa could not fail to understand what he meant, and his heart suddenly grew somewhat desperate; he was very clever, but clever people are often very conceited.
He was just such a person, and coupled with his young age, his conceit swelled even further.
Now, the bitter fruit of his conceit had arrived.
"Grandfather, why?" Nakamura Senkawa asked, somewhat unwilling to accept it; since they were already bitter enemies, why still be so cautious?
Nakamura Eiji said: "Why? Just because someone took the blame for him regarding the events of that year, what else could it be?"
"Do you know how many resources we exhausted this time? Do you know how rare this opportunity was? Now it has been ruined just because of a word from you; tell me, what should be done?"
Nakamura Senkawa's heart instantly turned cold; he knew that he had truly ruined a major matter this time.
He was already not valued by the family, and now...
"Now they want us to provide an explanation; tell me, how are we supposed to give one?" Nakamura Eiji asked indifferently.
Nakamura Senkawa gritted his teeth and said: "Grandfather, I will go and apologize to him."
"Heh, there is no need for you anymore. You are to return to me now, stay honestly at home from here on out, and stop running around causing trouble, lest you add to our family's burdens," Nakamura Eiji said.
But this single sentence was equivalent to passing a death sentence on Nakamura Senkawa; despite his young age, he was full of aspirations and had many grand ambitions.
He had even planned out his own future, intending to start implementing his plans as soon as he returned from Huaxia.
Just the day before yesterday, he was still thinking about those future plans of his, his heart filled with endless anticipation and ambition.
But now, a single sentence from Nakamura Eiji had cast him into the abyss.
Nakamura Eiji's meaning was very clear: from now on, just be an idler in the family and stop thinking about anything else.
"Grandfather, please give me one more chance. I will definitely perform well. Grandfather, I have many plans; will you listen to me?" Nakamura Senkawa's tone was filled with pleading.
But Nakamura Eiji remained completely unmoved; he did not know what plans Nakamura Senkawa had or how much talent he possessed.
He only knew that this time, Nakamura Senkawa had truly stirred up big trouble—not with Zhang Ran, as the two families were already bitter enemies after all.
It was with the people inside the company.
This time, it was again because of their Nakamura Family that the company's plan had been stranded halfway, and all the efforts made previously had been in vain; this was the key point.
And so what if he was a genius?
Is this world lacking in geniuses?
At the very least, in Nakamura Eiji's view, this world is not lacking in geniuses!
"I can give you a chance, but the other shareholders in the company will not allow it. Hand the phone to Nakamura Chitian," Nakamura Eiji said noncommittally.
Nakamura Senkawa wanted to say something more, but the person on the other end said another sentence: "Hurry up, I don't have time to dawdle with you."
The words were filled with impatience, which also meant that Nakamura Eiji had completely lost patience with him.
With somewhat hollow eyes, he handed the phone to Nakamura Chitian; Nakamura Senkawa felt as if his soul had left his body.
In his view, such a punishment was worse than killing him.
He was not his father; he had a heart full of aspirations, but at this moment, everything had vanished into thin air.
Even starting his own business had become difficult, because the family might not give him that opportunity anymore.
Nakamura Eiji was even less polite when dealing with Nakamura Chitian: "Chitian-kun, you are also an old member of our family; how can you be so oblivious to the situation?"
"Hai!" Nakamura Chitian did not even dare to utter a word of rebuttal.
"If you cannot obtain Zhang Ran's forgiveness, then there is no need for you to return." Nakamura Eiji did not want to say anything more; his own heart felt incomparably stifled.
But this matter still required Zhang Ran to speak up; otherwise, he did not know whether people like Xin Youmin would really tear their faces off with their Wuhe Group.
"Hai!" Although Nakamura Chitian's heart was filled with bitterness, he still agreed to it in one breath.
Nakamura Eiji did not say anything more and hung up the phone directly.
Nakamura Chitian now completely lacked the arrogant expression he had when looking at Zhang Ran yesterday; at this moment, his heart was filled with despair.
No matter what happened this time, he would have no good outcome upon returning; just like Nakamura Senkawa, his life was also finished.
"Grandfather Chitian, I will go with you." Nakamura Senkawa still wanted to make a final struggle; he hoped that Zhang Ran would forgive him this once for the sake of his young age and ignorance.
He also hoped that a child like him could win Zhang Ran's sympathy.
Of course, it was impossible for Nakamura Senkawa to feel any gratitude; if he had the chance in the future, he would only want to take proper revenge.
"Grandfather Chitian, I trouble you with this matter." Nakamura Senkawa actually knelt down before Nakamura Chitian.
And Nakamura Chitian, seeing Nakamura Senkawa in this state, felt his heart turn cold; this was an attempt to push all the blame onto him.
Nakamura Chitian's heart suddenly became incomparably sorrowful; he felt that he had already done his utmost for Nakamura Senkawa, but in the end, it only resulted in this outcome.
Zhang Ran was currently at home drinking tea and chatting with Huo Zhiyuan, his days appearing incomparably comfortable.
Seeing Nakamura Senkawa and the others arrive, Zhang Ran was too lazy to even stand up, merely looking at them indifferently.
"Grandfather Zhang, I was wrong; please forgive my ignorance," Nakamura Senkawa immediately bowed and said.
Nakamura Chitian knelt down directly: "Mr. Zhang, this matter was all instigated by me behind the back of my young master. The young master is still small and does not understand these things; I beg you not to..."
Zhang Ran's expression was very cold as he looked at them and said: "Having one face in front of people and another behind their backs is indeed what you are best at."
After finishing, he looked at Nakamura Senkawa and said: "I said it was a pity before; it should be realized now."
"Grandfather Zhang..."
"I said, don't call me that; I find it disgusting," Zhang Ran interrupted. "Also, little one, being young does not mean you don't need to bear the consequences. You are so clever, you should understand what I mean."
"Being young also doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. However, you should also be glad that you are still young; otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten away so easily by pushing out a scapegoat to finish it."
Nakamura Senkawa was truly desperate now; Zhang Ran had not given him a single chance. At the same time, he also felt Zhang Ran's ruthlessness—he had left no room for a child like him.
If Zhang Ran knew his thoughts, he would probably be very disdainful; he thought too highly of himself.
To be honest, Zhang Ran had not even put Nakamura Senkawa in his eyes. On the surface, it seemed that everything revolved around this child, but in reality, Zhang Ran had been playing chess against Nakamura Eiji behind him from the very beginning; he was merely a figurehead.
