Chapter 1253: Had another boy? Called Chives?!

In Naoki Nagayama's unhurried preparation for the Tokyo International Film Festival, in Akina's hard practice of English in preparation for the rehearsal with Michael Jackson, and in little Xia Hua's deep sleep, time arrived in September.

The weather was still hot, but the coolness of morning and evening could already be felt. Summer was like boiling water with the fire removed; although it was still boiling on the surface, it no longer had the confidence to continue.

The media's storm of public opinion became more and more turbulent. In addition to "Asahi Shimbun," many other media began to track the Recruit bribery case, and information that had been hidden very deeply was dug out bit by bit, continuously attracting public attention.

This forced Planning Bureau Director Hideki Komatsu to resign to avoid suspicion, and also caused a special investigation by the Kawasaki City Council.

I originally thought this matter had reached the end, and justice had finally prevailed... However, what people didn't expect was that this was just the beginning......

Finally, in early September, the cover report of "Asahi Shimbun" directly exposed four new bribe-takers, including the Director-General of the Defense Agency, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Policy Research Council Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Chairman of the Democratic Socialist Party... causing an uproar in public opinion.

This bribery case expanded from the original real estate interest exchange to a major government corruption case!

"Ha, 'Asahi Shimbun' is really tough!"

Naoki Nagayama was very emotional looking at the newspaper. He had only sent the second wave of information a few days ago, and "Asahi Shimbun" actually reported it.

Thinking of the past few days, Yin Tang Xiu said that Nobuo Asai was becoming more and more arrogant, even reprimanding Tree Friend to its face for not handing over the control of the Film Association fund. Naoki Nagayama silently made a wish:

"Let the storm come more violently!"

"When the big shots behind the scenes are also implicated, let's see if you, Nobuo Asai, can continue like this....."

It is estimated that Noboru Takeshita never thought that a newborn organization he wanted to beat up casually would directly make his Takeshita regime precarious.

"Naoki-san.... why are you muttering instead of eating properly?"

Akina, who was across the dining table, complained a little,

"Dad doing this will set a bad example for Hua-chan!"

Looking at his wife's beautiful cheeks and little Xia Hua's curious gaze, Naoki Nagayama could only surrender,

"...... Alright, alright, I'll eat right away...."

However, while eating breakfast, looking at the little one, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought of something....

"By the way, sister-in-law Xiangjia seems to be waiting for delivery in the hospital..... has it been half a month?"

"Seems so....." Akina also nodded. Usually, it's about two weeks early to go to the hospital, "What's going on?"

"I'll call and ask later..."

However, just as the two were talking, the phone in the living room rang suddenly.

"Moshi Moshi, this is Shanying Yuan."

"Naoki.... it's Mom!" The voice of Naoki Nagayama's mother, Nanako Nagayama, came from the receiver, revealing joy, "Your big brother has another child!"

"......"

Is it such a coincidence? Is it really speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives?!

"Already born?!" Naoki Nagayama was surprised, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Because she had already given birth to a child, sister-in-law Qingmu didn't ask the doctor whether it was a boy or a girl in advance this time, wanting to keep it as a surprise.

"It's a boy...."

Nanako Nagayama on the receiver said with a smile,

"Qingmu was so disappointed when he saw it was a boy..... Haha, he hoped for a daughter after seeing Hua-chan and Xiaobaihe before...."

It seems to be a problem with the Nagayama family's genes. The probability of giving birth to boys in the family is very high, so they all like daughters very much..... Big brother Qingmu envied little Xia Hua and big brother Feng's Xiaobaihe several times~

"Haha, isn't it good for big brother to have two sons~ Have you thought of a name?"

"Not yet..... he and your father are discussing it..... saying something about calling it weed or something.... I scolded them!"

"......"

Eh, according to the rules, the next generation of boys in the Nagayama family should be named after herbaceous plants, and girls should be named after flowers..... But calling it weed or something, it's too miserable....

No matter what, the little nephew is also the second male descendant of the fourth generation of the Nagayama family!

It would be better to call it Chives! It can grow out one crop after another!

After Nanako Nagayama chattered for a while, she prepared to hang up the phone,

"That's it, I'm going to report the good news to others...... Naoki, you can come back and see whenever you want...."

"Hai, we will go back in these two days."

Before, when big brother Qingmu had his first child, everyone was worried about whether there would be any problems, so Naoki Nagayama rushed back. This time it was the second child, so it was much better, and there was no need to surround the hospital in advance.

After hanging up the phone, he bumped into Akina's face when he turned his head. She ran over and lay on Naoki Nagayama's shoulder to eavesdrop after hearing the phone call.

Naoki Nagayama helplessly rubbed Akina's smooth cheeks:

"Can't you just sit on the side if you want to listen...."

Akina didn't answer with a smile, but asked with great interest:

"Did sister-in-law Xiangjia have another boy?"

"Mm, heard it was sudden stomach pain when getting up at night, and then gave birth in the morning.... less than two hours."

Naoki Nagayama, who returned to the dining table, said,

"Then Mom called us to report the good news after seeing it at the hospital."

"So that's it.... but it's really great that sister-in-law Xiangjia can give birth to the baby smoothly~ and it's a boy...."

Akina was happy for the little baby, touched little Xia Hua's head, and then looked at her husband expectantly,

"I don't know when we can have another boy too..... to keep Hua-chan company...."

"..... Cough cough"

Naoki Nagayama hurriedly took orange juice to smooth his throat. The matter of having a second child had already begun to be prepared during the vacation, and no measures had been taken.

During this period, both of them were working very hard to make a baby, but it would take a month to see it....

"Maybe have another daughter~"

"It's best to be a boy!" Akina said. The Nagayama family has such a large business empire to inherit. "Only then can he protect his sister when he grows up!"

"Even if the second child is not, then fight for another one!"

In this day and age, having many children is very common.

"Alright, alright~" Naoki Nagayama nodded silently, and then said, "If it's tomorrow, I'll go back to Shizuoka. Does Akina want to go together?"

"Of course I want to go!"

Akina nodded excitedly. Her work is very flexible now, and she can arrange her time freely,

"I want to see the little nephew...."

"Then I'll have the driver prepare it...."

"Mm~"

Akina nodded, then looked at her daughter, smiled and touched her little face,

"Hua-chan, shall we go back to our hometown to play? We can also see our cousin~"

The Shanying Yuan here received good news and was harmonious, while on the other side of the Takeshita house, there was a feeling of wind and rain coming.

Noboru Takeshita had taken off his baby-faced mask and looked seriously at the seven core members of the Takeshita faction who came to the Takeshita house, the so-called "Takeshita Seven Retainers" (translated into Chinese, it means "the seven running dogs under Takeshita's door")....

"Minasan, it seems that this bribery storm is not small...."

Noboru Takeshita said,

"And it's at the critical moment of my election.... There must be a problem here!"

"Hai." One of the seven retainers, Tsutomu Hata, nodded, "It must be the behavior of the opposition party!"

And another, Ryutaro Hashimoto, said:

"It could also be the final counterattack of the Tanaka faction."

The Takeshita faction's independence from the Tanaka faction is undoubtedly a major blow to the Tanaka faction. The big shots of the Tanaka faction must be dissatisfied.

Taking this opportunity to make trouble is also possible~

"I have sent someone to investigate. It is said that those messages were sent by anonymous letters directly to the newspaper office by a mysterious person....."

Noboru Takeshita said,

"However, according to professional analysis, they used typewriters, ordinary letter paper, and random mailboxes. The source is difficult to judge....... It is highly likely that the whistleblower cannot be found."

In this day and age, there is no camera monitoring, and no real-time positioning..... Even for delivery, it was Naoki Nagayama who changed his clothes and randomly found a mailbox on the side of the road. Thousands of people came and went every day, and if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't find anyone.

"Then look at the vested interests!"

Ryutaro Hashimoto said,

"Who can benefit from this matter? Which party is the biggest suspect...."

"......"

Speaking of this point, even Noboru Takeshita was silent.... because there is really no biggest beneficiary found currently.....

The bribery case has not yet involved them, but judging from the current news reports, both the ruling party and the opposition party are involved, and even many company presidents and social celebrities are among them..... It can be said that they offended a circle of people!

If you talk about vested interests, then "Asahi Shimbun" might be the biggest one, because this newspaper has gained the greatest attention.

But they don't have the conditions to report...

"Could it be.... that it is someone inside Recruit, really just for justice?"

Another of the seven retainers, Keizo Obuchi, opened his mouth.

And as soon as he said this, the faces of the other backbone members of the Takeshita faction changed.... If this is justice, then aren't they all evil?!

How is it possible, they are all pillars of the country!

"Cough cough~" Noboru Takeshita interrupted this atmosphere and said solemnly, "This storm of public opinion can no longer be stopped.... the media circle can no longer control it."

The eyes of the whole society are gathering. If any newspaper doesn't follow up, then its credibility will be gone.

"You guys, have you accepted any benefits from Recruit?!"

"......"

The seven retainers looked at each other and were silent.... This is default.... making Noboru Takeshita not know what to say for a while.

Simply a group of pig teammates!

"Eh...." The oldest, Seiroku Kajiyama, opened his mouth, "Takeshita-san, we are in this environment, there are always some human feelings..."

"Yes, yes..." "Not embarrassed to accept" "We are forced to" "...."

Noboru Takeshita didn't say much. After all, he also accepted a lot.

"No matter what happened before, you can't accept it during this period..... Also, clean up the tail of previous things!"

Speaking of this, Noboru Takeshita's voice was lighter,

"Everyone is an old man in politics, and everyone knows how the firewall should be done..... If anyone hasn't done it well, don't blame me for not saving you!"

In fact, the firewall is to use secretaries, relatives, and confidants, similar to drivers, to hold assets on their behalf and handle some dark matters.

Hearing this, others naturally nodded one after another.

Having been in politics for so many years, these people know deeply that no matter what kind of storm, as long as there is no ironclad evidence, they will at most bow and apologize in front of the camera, and then retreat to the background to continue to be big shots.

Just like the former Prime Minister Tanaka, he is still an important figure in the Tanaka faction.

"Alright...... we have passed the air on this matter, everyone keep a low profile during this period."

After saying the hard words, Noboru Takeshita comforted again,

"Wait until I become Prime Minister, that is the time when we realize our ideals and ambitions...... I will definitely not live up to everyone's contribution...."

"Hai!" X7

After the seven retainers of Takeshita all left, Noboru Takeshita called his secretary Ihei Aoki:

"Aoki.... go notify Hiroshi Jiangfu, tell him no matter what method he uses, even if it is kneeling to apologize, he must calm down the storm of public opinion as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the more the media digs, the deeper it gets, and it won't be good if it really connects to us!"

"At such a critical moment, don't let a bribery case affect my election!"

This is actually letting Hiroshi Jiangfu admit his guilt directly and bear all the consequences to calm the storm..... Anyway, there are so many high-ranking officials who are on good terms with him, and he will come out in at most a year or two.

"Hai, I will notify Hiroshi Jiangfu!"

Ihei Aoki nodded. He knew that if everything developed like this, in the end, maybe he would have to take the blame himself..... so let's throw it to Hiroshi Jiangfu first!

"But Takeshita-san, I received news that an opposition party group is already preparing to set up an investigation team. They believe that there must be more people involved in this bribery case..... This shows that the ruling party is completely corrupt...."

"Hmph! A bunch of hyenas!"

Noboru Takeshita scolded angrily. In this circle, who wouldn't accept bribes!

It's just that this time the opposition party bit the ruling party!

"Contact the Social Democratic Party and other opposition party members.... I want to have a good talk with them...."

"This will not work, it will cause political turmoil, and even social turmoil!"

"Hai..."

Tsuruko, who returned from university classes, returned to the small apartment in Waseda with a heat.

Just when she wanted to take a shower, she saw a message on the landline, so she pressed the play button.

"Tsuruko.... you are not here...."

"Calling to tell you, your big brother Qingmu has another son...."

"Bala bala ba...."

After hearing her mother's message, a smile appeared on Tsuruko's face:

"I have another little nephew!"

Then she couldn't wait to call home, but no one answered....

"Ah, they must have gone to big brother's house...."

Then she thought again:

"I have to go back and take a look at the little nephew!"

Speaking of returning to her hometown, she naturally thought of her second brother, and hurriedly called him too.....

"Nii-chan, big brother had a baby, do you want to go back too?"

"Eh, tomorrow? Okay too..... take me with you~"

"What? No? Hua-chan is going back too? The car can't sit?! Let me take the Shinkansen back?"

"Baka Nii-chan, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"......"

Tsuruko, who was angry, hung up the phone, still muttering about getting married and having children, and forgetting about her sister.

Turning to look at the empty small apartment, she actually felt a little lonely for a while!

"What's so great about it, I will have several babies in the future too!"

"But before that, I should buy a car first!"

In fact, Tsuruko today is indeed rich, and it is very easy to buy a car.

In the past, she wanted to save money and buy a luxury car like her brother's after graduation. Now it seems that it is okay to buy a business car for transportation first...... Anyway, the driver's license was obtained long ago.

"Not taking me back, right? I'll drive back myself!"
