Chapter 1308
"Cheers!" "Cheers!" "【】~( ̄▽ ̄)~*" "..."
In the suite with its ambiguous lighting, the rich, sweet fragrance mingled with the intoxicating scent of alcohol; amidst the upbeat dance music, hostesses in revealing outfits were dancing passionately in front; and the people enjoying all this on the sofa were drinking freely with their glasses raised...
This is the vibrant nightlife of Roppongi!
"Another glass!" "Come on..." "Hahaha~" "..."
Under the influence of alcohol, the atmosphere in the room seemed very harmonious; even people who weren't close seemed like brothers from different mothers~
Dayou Fangcun had also invited Yoshihiko Noda over, so Naoki Nagayama could get a good look at him!
"Naoki-san!"
Yoshihiko Noda's face was flushed, and he smiled as he raised his glass,
"I'm truly grateful for Shuyou's support... Come, let me toast you again!"
"Haha, if we're brothers, don't say such things. Come, let's drink!"
Naoki Nagayama took the glass boldly and drank it in one gulp!
"Hahaha, Naoki-san has a massive capacity!"
Yoshihiko Noda naturally drank his in one gulp too, but he quickly grabbed a grape to suppress the alcohol...
Dayou Fangcun and Yin Tangxiu, sitting nearby, were also happily drinking and chatting with the hostesses they were familiar with; the overall atmosphere was still very good~
Just at this moment, Motoko Haraguchi, the mama-san of Karune, walked into the private room, bringing fresh food and drinks.
"This was just made in the kitchen... everyone can have a taste..."
As she spoke, she personally divided the food into small plates and placed them in front of the guests. She didn't usually do this kind of guest service, but after all, this room was full of big clients...
And... her gaze couldn't help but linger on Naoki Nagayama in the middle...
"Arigato~"
In this room, although they were all guests, Dayou Fangcun was old and balding, Yin Tangxiu had started to gain weight in middle age, and Yoshihiko Noda, while having potential, was very average-looking... Only Naoki Nagayama was handsome, young, rich, and talented...
Even as a Roppongi mama-san who had seen many guests, only he could captivate her without relying on throwing money around!
"Nagayama-san doesn't seem to come to Roppongi clubs very often~"
Motoko Haraguchi sat on the booth seat and started making small talk directly,
"I haven't seen you much..."
Although Naoki Nagayama had the title of "Playboy Naoki" in previous years, surprisingly, the frequency with which he came to nightclubs or clubs was quite low... If he did go, most of the time it was at his own club~
"Ha, Naoki-san doesn't like coming to clubs!"
Yin Tangxiu said with a smile,
"This guy is different from us~"
"Eh? Why?"
Motoko Haraguchi asked with great surprise, her eyes scanning Naoki Nagayama next to her...
Different? Could it be that this Naoki Nagayama has different hobbies?!
That's not right, didn't he marry Akina Mori? And they even had a daughter!
"Hahaha~ look at the eyes of the other hostesses in the room..."
Yin Tangxiu, who had drunk quite a bit, teased,
"Naoki-san feels that when he comes to a club, he isn't a consumer, but the one being consumed! Haha~"
"..."
Motoko Haraguchi turned her head to look, and sure enough, the hostesses were all looking this way to varying degrees, their eyes eager to be next to Naoki Nagayama... Actually, even she was no exception...
Sure enough, Naoki Nagayama spending money at a club was equivalent to a handsome man spending money to date the hostesses!
If they slept together, it wasn't certain who would be the one at a disadvantage!
"Xiuyisang, you've had too much to drink!"
Naoki Nagayama stuffed Yin Tangxiu's mouth with fruit, then turned to Motoko Haraguchi and said,
"Because I'm quite busy, I don't have the energy to go out and play... After work, I just want to rest..."
"Oh? Actually, Xiuyisang is right... the little foxes under my command can't help but drool when they see Naoki-san~"
Regarding Yin Tangxiu's teasing, as an experienced club mama-san, Motoko Haraguchi naturally wouldn't get angry; instead, she picked up the conversation,
"However, what has Nagayama-san been busy with lately?"
"Of course, I'm filming a movie!"
Seeing the appearance of his old flame, Yoshihiko Noda suddenly felt a sense of crisis and quickly interjected,
"Hasn't Haraguchi-san heard of 'Jurassic Park'?"
"Ah~ so that's it..." Motoko Haraguchi raised her glass, "Then I want to wish Naoki-san's new movie great success in advance!"
"Haha, I'll take your word for it!"
"When the time comes, Naoki-san must give me a few movie tickets!"
"That goes without saying..."
The two of them were actually being modest with each other, and their smiling, cheerful appearance made Yoshihiko Noda's sense of crisis intensify!
He hurriedly wanted to show himself off, wanting to shift the attention to himself:
"Naoki-san... my campaign is going very smoothly right now. For the election on the 23rd, please remember to vote for me!"
"Hahaha, that goes without saying!"
Naoki Nagayama had no desire to compete for dominance, so he naturally nodded,
"After the 23rd, I'll have to call you Assemblyman Noda!"
"Hahaha, it's still early... still early..."
Speaking of what was on his mind, Yoshihiko Noda was all smiles,
"However, this time in the House of Representatives, the Social Democratic Party will definitely be able to gain the advantage!"
"Haha, if you say so, then Chairperson Doi will be the next Prime Minister?"
"Nine times out of ten..."
"Hahaha, then a young talent like Assemblyman Noda will definitely be given important responsibilities!"
"Contributing to the country!"
Naoki Nagayama was no stranger to flattery at the dinner table; he was just saying polite things casually... Relying on his deeper tolerance for alcohol, he soon had Yoshihiko Noda drunk enough to only talk in his sleep.
Besides drinking, he wouldn't forget about gratitude, saying he would repay it heavily... At this time, the other two old hands were still relatively sober...
"Alright, let's drink until here for today."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"I have things to do tomorrow..."
He glanced at Yoshihiko Noda, who was already sprawled on the sofa, and asked:
"As for Noda-kun..."
Dayou Fangcun spoke up:
"Don't worry about Noda-kun, Haraguchi-san will take care of him!"
"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to Haraguchi-san!"
Naoki Nagayama looked at Motoko Haraguchi, whose face was also flushed...
"Not at all, this is what I should do..."
After everyone walked out of the club and returned to the car, seeing that the driver was Shizhi Araki, Naoki Nagayama asked:
"Dayousang, is that Motoko Haraguchi the one you mentioned... the one who filmed the video?"
"Hmm..." Dayou Fangcun nodded, "That's her... she wants to use the video she filmed to blackmail Yoshihiko Noda in the future!"
"Haha, she really is ambitious!"
Naoki Nagayama laughed, then continued to ask,
"But Noda-kun is an important pawn of ours; we can't let her threaten him like this... Dayousang, how have you arranged it?!"
Dayou Fangcun, sitting in the passenger seat, patted Shizhi Araki, who was driving:
"Haha, this is all thanks to our Araki-kun! I sent Araki-kun to investigate Motoko Haraguchi's past... I didn't expect to find that she had actually blackmailed others before!"
"That's how she got her first pot of gold and opened this shop..."
"Oh?!!" Naoki Nagayama didn't ask for the specific situation first, but looked at Shizhi Araki, "Araki-kun, have you finally developed the wonderful use of your own ability?!"
The look in Dayou Fangcun's eyes as he looked at Shizhi Araki was glowing...
"Yeah, I didn't think of it at the time... Araki-kun's ability to have low presence is actually so useful!"
"Just like a ninja in a story, coming and going without a trace!"
"..."
Shizhi Araki was speechless... He didn't want to! He didn't want to be a ninja at all!
But Dayousang's promises were too good! And he gave too much!
Saying that Shuyou is a big family, some people are the face and some need to be the lining; the face can't have a speck of dirt, and the lining needs to handle all the dirty work... He, Shizhi Araki, is a hero in the darkness, and so on...
Then... Dayou Fangcun promised to double his year-end bonus and guaranteed that once this job was done, he would fully support him in filming his next movie!
He even said he would give him Naoki Nagayama's new work "Full House"...
So... Shizhi Araki went to investigate Motoko Haraguchi's affairs with tears in his eyes!
"Ahem..." Yin Tangxiu spoke up to help his disciple, "Dayousang, you haven't said how you arranged it yet?! To keep Motoko Haraguchi from threatening Noda-kun?"
"My plan is, after Motoko Haraguchi shows her hand to Noda-kun... after Yoshihiko Noda begs us for help, we'll first try to pay to buy out the recording..."
Dayou Fangcun spoke eloquently,
"It's just money... if it can be solved with money, that's the simplest way~ We at Shuyou aren't short on money!"
"Hmm, hmm..." Naoki Nagayama nodded; he agreed with this point too. Things that can be solved with money aren't problems, "What if Motoko Haraguchi doesn't agree?!"
Yin Tangxiu was puzzled:
"She doesn't want money? Then what does she want?"
"As a Roppongi club mama-san who makes a fortune every day... money might really not be what she's after..."
Naoki Nagayama stroked his chin. An ambitious woman, besides money, might also want power, status,
"If she's threatening a member of the Diet, maybe it's an official matter, helping to clear a criminal record, or entering high society, or something... maybe she even wants to climb up to become the official wife."
"How is that possible?! If she becomes the official wife, Noda-kun has no future!"
Yin Tangxiu was somewhat skeptical. You have to know that a club mama-san doesn't have a good reputation in high society. Unless Yoshihiko Noda doesn't want a political future, it's impossible for him to divorce and remarry!
"Nothing is impossible~"
Naoki Nagayama shook his head,
"If the scandalous video is exposed, his reputation will be ruined, he'll have to resign immediately, and he'll have no future... If it's not exposed, even if he marries Motoko Haraguchi, he can still use 'true love' to fool people... at least he'll be able to maintain his status at the time~"
"Immediately losing status versus having no future... it's just a choice!"
"No matter how she chooses, Motoko Haraguchi wins!"
"It can actually be like this..." Yin Tangxiu was suddenly a bit afraid of the hostesses in clubs, "Clubs are a bit scary!"
"Haha, if Xiuyisang is going to be a government official, you'll indeed have to be cautious in this regard in the future!"
Naoki Nagayama laughed,
"But for those who aren't officials, there's no pressure... at most, there will be a few more scandalous news stories~ So Dayousang can rest assured and go find hostesses!"
"..."
Dayou Fangcun stared at Naoki Nagayama speechlessly and continued his explanation,
"If Motoko Haraguchi doesn't want money, Araki-kun here has already investigated clearly and found evidence of her blackmailing others..."
"When the time comes, we'll put the evidence in front of her and tell her that if she doesn't take the money, we'll send her to prison... she'll probably give in~"
"If that still doesn't work, we'll find a few gangsters to teach her a lesson and scare her..."
"What if she's not afraid of that either?"
Yin Tangxiu asked curiously,
"Is Dayousang going to sink her into the sea?!"
"... Baka!"
Dayou Fangcun reached over from the front seat, wanting to give Yin Tangxiu a hit,
"I already said, we aren't villains! Sinking people into the sea at every turn, do you think I'm a natural-born serial killer?!"
"If she still doesn't give in after doing all this, then we'll just send her to prison!"
Dayou Fangcun continued,
"As for the video, although it will take some effort, Shuyou's power in publicity isn't just talk...
We'll let Yoshihiko Noda perform his traditional skill of a 90-degree bow to apologize, and then help him build a persona of a prodigal son returning home...
He can still continue to advance in the political arena; maybe it will even attract the support of some voters..."
Shizhi Araki, who had been listening for a long time, was also a bit confused:
"How could anyone still support him?!"
"Haha, like, even an assemblyman can be deceived and blackmailed, so assemblymen are the same as ordinary people..." Naoki Nagayama laughed, "In Japan, people who make mistakes will be forgiven... this is called empathy... it's also called being down-to-earth..."
Dayou Fangcun also continued to nod:
"Yeah, when the time comes, he'll still be a victim... this might even make some people with rich sympathy support him!"
"..."
As the car moved forward, the group decided on how to handle this matter, one word after another.
They were just waiting for Motoko Haraguchi to show her hand to Yoshihiko Noda, and then they could make Yoshihiko Noda owe them even more favors, ultimately holding this guy who would become Prime Minister firmly in the palm of Shuyou's hand!
In the bedroom of the Karune suite, Motoko Haraguchi helped Yoshihiko Noda, who was drunk and talking nonsense, onto the bed.
"Ah hahaha... Motoko-chan... I will become Assemblyman Noda!"
Yoshihiko Noda was still talking non-stop, reaching out to hug Motoko Haraguchi,
"Afterward, I'll become a Minister, and I'll even become Prime Minister!"
"Yes, yes, yes... you will, you will..."
Motoko Haraguchi brushed him off casually, pushing Yoshihiko Noda's face, which was leaning in, to the side... After seeing Naoki Nagayama's handsomeness today, she really wasn't in the mood to deal with Yoshihiko Noda's big face!
"When that time comes..." Yoshihiko Noda lay on the bed with his eyes closed, mumbling, "That guy Naoki Nagayama will also have to respectfully toast me!!!"
Why are you so handsome, why are you so rich, why did you marry Akina Mori at such a young age... Deep down, he was still jealous of Naoki Nagayama!
"..."
Motoko Haraguchi curled her lip. Even the current Prime Minister would definitely be polite when meeting Naoki Nagayama!
"You still want Naoki-san to toast you?! You're thinking too highly of yourself!"
He is a big tycoon, a famous writer, a famous director... his influence and wealth are among the top in Japan, and he has all kinds of connections...
Not to mention he's still so young!
If Yoshihiko Noda wants to be Prime Minister, it will take at least seven or eight years!
"When the time comes, Noda, if you want to be Prime Minister..."
Motoko Haraguchi clicked her tongue,
"You might even need Naoki Nagayama to nod!"
"Become Prime Minister!"
Yoshihiko Noda was still rambling...
However, Motoko Haraguchi didn't have time to continue dealing with him. She went to the TV cabinet, took out the tape, stored the high-definition camera, ensured this thing wouldn't be discovered, and then left Yoshihiko Noda alone in the bedroom.
After arriving at the office, she put the tape in the safe, and then took out a black notebook...
On it were the records she had secretly kept when she was a bank teller, information on illegal accounts... and evidence of some illegal transactions.
"The competition in the club is too great... there's pressure on funds!"
Motoko Haraguchi opened the notebook, a smile appearing on her exquisite face,
"Who should I ask for help this time..."
These bank executives all have families; if these dark materials were made public, they would lose their jobs, and she never asked for much each time... that's why her blackmailing was always successful!
"Noda-kun... grow up quickly... I'll need your help in the future too!"
Recalling that in the suite, she had tried everything she could but still hadn't hooked Naoki Nagayama, Motoko Haraguchi sighed,
"Naoki-san... sigh... Naoki-san actually isn't lecherous?! Would you believe it?!"
?? Went to look at "Black Leather Notebook"... found that Emi Takei is very beautiful; she's a great beauty in both modern attire and kimono...
