Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Kyoto is an important city in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of the three major metropolitan areas in Japan. From 794 AD to 1868, this city has always been the capital of Japan. It can be said to be a thousand-year-old capital.

But what’s interesting is that this ancient Japanese capital not only displays Japan’s long history, but also reflects how terrifying the cultural influence of China’s former heyday, the Tang Dynasty, was.

The nine heavens closed the palace, and all the nations wore clothes and worshiped Mian Liu.

Kyoto was once called "Luoyang" by the Japanese themselves, and the Tang Dynasty was established in 618. Undoubtedly, this also reflects from the side how much the Japanese at that time admired and yearned for the Tang Dynasty in the East. In addition to borrowing the name, many architectural styles in Kyoto, such as some wooden buildings and some street directions, are imitating the Tang Dynasty.

As a local who grew up in Kyoto, unlike others who simply like Kyoto's rich historical heritage, Kaori Akiyama is more yearning for the Eastern Tang Dynasty described in the book. After all, Kyoto learned from the Tang Dynasty, let alone the spirit of all nations coming to pay tribute, and only learned a somewhat similar appearance.

The low-key Audi drove along the quaint streets and arrived at the gate of a huge, ancient courtyard.

The words "Akiyama Family" were written on the doorplate. The parking spaces in front of the door were already full of luxury cars. There were also two rows of men in black suits standing in front of the gate, looking very imposing.

"Good evening, Miss!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Amid the respectful greetings of several men in black, Akiyama Kaori had just gotten off the car when a short nanny carrying a small bag popped out from behind and sighed quietly, "Oh, time flies by so fast.

I remember when the young lady first came here, she was still yelling for her pacifier and saying, "I will make everyone in the world beg our Akiyama family to do business with us" and "I will make those who curry favor with our Akiyama family line up from here to the main street." It has been more than 20 years, and the little girl who wore open-crotch pants and wet the bed is now..."

"An old lady who talks too much nonsense will be killed."

Hearing about her own childhood embarrassment, Akiyama Kaori turned around and glared at him unhappily.

The look in her eyes was sharp, and the short nanny was instantly silent. Seeing her like this, Akiyama Kaori nodded in satisfaction, and then walked into the house on her sharp high heels.

However, the moment she walked into the Akiyama family's mansion, the smile and relaxation on her face disappeared, replaced by coldness and arrogance.

Feeling the change in her temperament, the short and talkative nanny wanted to say something. But in the end, she just looked at Akiyama Kaori's lonely back and shook her head with some sighs, "I originally wanted to look up to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch."

As the wet nurse who raised Kaori Akiyama from childhood, she is very aware of the changes that Kaori Akiyama has undergone over the years.

It can be said that from the time she wore open-crotch pants until she was twenty-five years old, Kaori Akiyama was always very happy and excited every time she came to the Akiyama family's headquarters mansion.

When she was a child, she admired and loved the Akiyama family, the family to which her parents devoted their lives and who took in her as an orphan.

After entering the company at the age of 18, she enjoyed the feeling of working hard for the family because of her strong business ability and good news every time she came back. However, as Akiyama Kaori turned 25, she gained great prestige and power in the company with her extraordinary ability, as the current head of the Akiyama family, Akiyama Yunpachi, gradually aged, and as her uncle Akiyama Makoto showed extraordinary stupidity, things gradually became different.

The Akiyama family is not a monolithic group, especially at this stage when Akiyama Yunpachi is getting older. Many direct descendants who hold shares, such as the third uncle and the fourth uncle, want to jump out and fight for it, and are also trying to win over Akiyama Kaori, but Akiyama Kaori did not choose to take sides, but chose to be a "lone minister."

There is no other reason. As a nanny, she knows that although Akiyama Kaori, who grew up in this family business, is an ambitious woman, she also knows that Akiyama Kaori has always been grateful to her grandfather Akiyama Yunya. In order to repay these favors, Akiyama Kaori would rather suffer injustice than let the family be in turmoil. But the question is - who would hang their future on the thoughts of others?

Of course, Akiyama Kaori wanted to help Akiyama Kumohachi, after all, Akiyama Kumohachi was her benefactor, but Akiyama Kumohachi's son Akiyama Makoto was very afraid of her. He even set up a killing plan before, wanting to completely destroy Akiyama Kaori. At the same time, if she stood on the side of those direct competitors, it would mean that Akiyama Kaori would be against Akiyama Kumohachi.

The situation is at a standstill and we are in a difficult situation both inside and outside.

Now it was Akiyama Makoto who wanted to get rid of her, and those direct competitors were also happy to see it happen, after all, this would be a warning to Akiyama Kaori, and on the other hand, if Akiyama Kaori was really driven away, Akiyama Kumoha would lose a most important general. And Akiyama Kaori herself was in a dilemma, if she took a step back, she would lose money and power, and as for taking a step forward, she would lose the grace of Akiyama Kumoha who had raised her for more than 20 years.

"Oh, poor girl."

After sighing inwardly for a while, seeing that Akiyama Kaori was about to walk away, the short nanny quickly followed her in small steps.

.

Akiyama Kaori didn't know what the nanny was thinking.

She walked into the spacious courtyard and greeted some of the relatives she didn't know very well. Soon, she walked up the steps and came to the main hall of the wooden structure.

The layout of the entire room is somewhat similar to the scene of a party in a gangster story. The boss's chair is in the middle, with samurai armor and samurai swords hanging above the chair. On both sides of the boss's chair are arranged in sequence, six on each side, for a total of twelve seats.

At this time, the head of the family, Akiyama Yunpachi and Akiyama Makoto, had not arrived yet, but almost everyone else had.

"Kaori is here."

Akiyama Kaori had just bowed and greeted a few elders when the middle-aged wizened man sitting in the first seat on the left took the initiative to greet them.

The emaciated man was about fifty years old, nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a very large frame, but an extremely skinny and shriveled body. He looked listless, with long gray hair casually tied behind his head. Coupled with his rather gentle facial features, he did not look like a gang leader, but more like a down-and-out artist.

Hearing his voice, Akiyama Kaori turned around and bowed, then took out a beautiful gift from her small leather bag and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, uncle. Have you been feeling better recently? These are the supplements I brought for you when I went to Kamakura some time ago."

The wilt man is none other than Akiyama Kaori's uncle - Akiyama Ryunosuke, the youngest son of the previous generation of the Akiyama family, and also Akiyama Makoto's half-brother.

Although Akiyama Ryunosuke is the youngest son of the previous generation, he is also the most capable one. Akiyama Kaori has been able to successfully transform the Akiyama family over the years, which is inseparable from the solid foundation he laid for the Akiyama family. Unfortunately, he contracted a serious lung disease for no apparent reason a few years ago and died soon.

On the one hand, this made him almost no longer involved in the management affairs of the Akiyama family. On the other hand, it also made room for a position of power for Kaori Akiyama, who was on the rise at the time. Moreover, Kaori Akiyama's rapid growth over the years was also inseparable from his guidance.

If the person that Akiyama Kaori is most grateful to in the Akiyama family is Akiyama Kunya, then the person she is closest to is Akiyama Ryunosuke.

"Haha, little Kaori has also learned how to give gifts? I remember when I taught you these things when you were a child, you were very resistant."

Taking the gift from Akiyama Kaori, Akiyama Ryunosuke was delighted. He then unwrapped the gift and smiled, "But, it shouldn't be special. I heard that you met a very powerful man in Kamakura? Oh, ginseng, tsk, you didn't give it to someone else, but they didn't want it, so you gave it to me, right?"

"No way, uncle, you are talking nonsense again."

Showing a coquettish smile of a junior, Akiyama Kaori sat down next to Ryunosuke. But she had just sat down and handed the gift box to the black-clad subordinate behind her and said casually, "Speaking of what Ah Cheng did, are you sure you don't want to pursue it further?"

Hearing this, Akiyama Kaori paused slightly as she took out her cell phone.

that matter.

Nothing major has happened in the Akiyama family recently, and there are even fewer things related to Akiyama Makoto. Although Akiyama Ryunosuke has not asked about family affairs for many years, she, Kaori Akiyama, knows that the man next to her has connections.

I realized that the other person was talking about what happened in the health room.

There was a strong anger in Akiyama Kaori's eyes, but when she looked at the ancestral samurai sword on the dragon head chair, her mind emerged with the warm scene of herself as a child being carried on the shoulders of the smiling Akiyama Kumopachi, and running to take down the samurai sword to play with. The anger in her eyes gradually subsided, and finally turned into a sigh and complexity.

She was about to say something, and at this time, Akiyama Ryunosuke laughed again: "But speaking of it, the man you found is quite interesting. These days, Ah Cheng had five cars smashed in a row, and was dragged into an alley and beaten while drinking in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the bodyguards sent by his father nearby, his little bird would have been almost killed. Tsk, a local tyrant in Tokyo sent people to Kyoto to cause trouble for the prince of the Akiyama family. He is really bold."

"Ah?"

Listening to Akiyama Ryunosuke's words, Akiyama Kaori, who was completely unaware of the situation, was stunned for a moment.

The quiet profile of Dongchuan Che smoking flashed through her mind, and she imagined the scene of Akiyama Makoto being beaten up in an alley. For a moment, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart. But after the sweetness, she smiled and shook her head helplessly.

She was naturally very happy that the man she loved stood up for her, and she even wanted to fly to Dong Chuan Che right now. But after such a commotion.

She was not worried about other clubs. Fuyukawa Tetsu's influence in Tokyo's black and white worlds was similar to that of the Akiyama family in Kyoto after the cleansing, but the Akiyama family was not a monolithic entity, and Fuyukawa Tetsu was in power. Moreover, Akiyama Makoto was in the wrong in this matter. If the matter was really exposed, Akiyama Makoto would be the one in the most trouble.

Moreover, she didn't think that Akiyama Makoto, a rich second-generation bully, would dare to fight against Dongchuan Che, a tough guy who had fought his way up from the bottom. But after this incident, if she wanted to propose cooperation with the Holy Light Society at the meeting today, it would definitely cause Akiyama Makoto to oppose even more strongly.

But it's not a big problem. Akiyama Makoto is the most staunch conservative and has always been very reluctant to let the Akiyama family break away from their dependence on NICO. After all, if they break away from NICO, although the Akiyama family may have a greater future, they will also face greater risks.

Akiyama Kaori was thinking in her mind, and at this moment, everyone in the main hall stood up.

"Homeowner!"

"You are so anxious."

"Good afternoon, Cheng."

Amid the bows and greetings from everyone on both sides, an old man in a wheelchair, his body hunched over but with a face like that of a lion, passed by the crowd, pushed by a middle-aged man.

Facing the greetings from the crowd, the old man did not respond, but the middle-aged man who was over 50 years old, over 1.8 meters tall, but dressed a little greasy and powdered, like a diamond bachelor, had a look of enjoyment on his face.

The visitors were none other than the current head of the Akiyama family, Akiyama Yunpachi, and his eldest son, Akiyama Makoto.

"You are all here, please sit down."

With the help of Akiyama Makoto, Akiyama Yunpachi sat down on the dragon head chair tremblingly. He placed his hands on the armrests carved into the shape of a dragon head and said something weakly.

When Akiyama Makoto returned to the seat on the right, everyone thanked him and sat down. Akiyama Yunpachi did not talk a lot of nonsense like the other leaders, but said directly: "I called you here for a gathering today, I guess you didn't come to visit me, an old man who won't live long."

"Master, what are you talking about!"

"Master, you can live at least another twenty years in this body!"

There was a commotion below. Akiyama Yunpachi sat up straight, waved his hand, and then looked at Akiyama Kaori, who also had a very complicated expression, with a complicated expression. He said, "The Akiyama family's current status in Kyoto is not based on flattery, but on strength and the struggles of our predecessors. I don't have the energy to listen to your nonsense. Then, let's get started. Kaori, I heard that you have been very close to that kid in Tokyo recently? Tell me, what's the situation."

Akiyama Yunpachi's health was indeed very poor. After saying these words, he immediately started coughing. It was not until the elderly female secretary next to him handed him some tea that he stopped coughing.

Seeing this scene, Akiyama Kaori's eyes were full of worry, but Akiyama Makoto in the audience did not have his elderly father in his eyes, but just stared at Akiyama Kaori fiercely.

There were several male members of the Akiyama family in his generation, such as Akiyama Ryunosuke, but even if Akiyama Ryunosuke was included, none of the male members of the Akiyama family of this generation were favored by Akiyama Yunpachi as much as Akiyama Makoto.

This is because Akiyama Makoto's mother, Mukai Masae, was not only the deceased wife of Akiyama Kumohachi, but also his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. They worked together to lead the Akiyama family to prosperity. The couple had an extremely close relationship. But when Akiyama Kumohachi was 27 years old, his mother Mukai Masae was hacked to death in order to help Akiyama Kumohachi escape because of revenge by her enemies. Her body was never found and only a cenotaph was built.

Feeling guilty towards his wife, and being the eldest son, Akiyama Yunpachi naturally loved Akiyama Makoto very much. Since he was born, Akiyama Makoto had never suffered a loss and always got whatever he wanted. But this situation began to change with the appearance of Akiyama Kaori.

Perhaps he saw the shadows of himself and his late wife in Akiyama Kaori's parents, so Akiyama Kumohachi loved Akiyama Kaori very much since childhood. And not only did he love her, Akiyama Kaori also showed strong business ability when she became an adult. At the age of 18, she joined the family company to work and study, and she was already in power when she was around 25 years old.

His father's love was taken away, his right to speak in the company was also taken away, and he was beaten up in an alley by Dongchuan Che's men some time ago. All these factors added up.

Akiyama Makoto didn't think that his father's love was taken away because of his eccentric and unlovable personality; he didn't think that his right to speak in the company was taken away because of his incompetence, and that whatever projects he led would lose money; he didn't think that he should be retaliated for setting a fatal trap for Akiyama Kaori. He only knew that Akiyama Kaori made him very unhappy, even hated her, hated her to the core!

Feeling the hateful look in Akiyama Makoto's eyes, Akiyama Kaori took a deep breath, and still stood up under the gaze of everyone in the audience and said, "The Holy Light Society is interested in entering the handheld game console field. Although the specific content of the cooperation has not been discussed yet, its power is much smaller than that of NICO, and its demand for partners is greater. If we intervene in the early stages, as long as the handheld game console field of the Holy Light Society develops large enough in the future, we will be able to reap more profits than at NICO."

It was a very easy to understand truth. Akiyama Yunpachi's eyes flashed with a hint of relief. Not only Akiyama Yunpachi, but other members present also started to discuss it for a while.

Although NICO is a large company, it is also because of its size that it has taken up almost all of the market share in the handheld game console field, forming an industry hegemony. Therefore, the manufacturers who rely on NICO for their products are not having an easy time, and the profits from many orders are very meager. Therefore, many people in the Akiyama family actually have complaints about NICO, but the so-called hegemony is essentially to make people angry but not dare to speak out.

Even if they were unhappy with Nico before, they didn't dare to say anything, because it would be useless unless they didn't want to do the handheld business. But they didn't expect that Dongchuan Che actually wanted to do handheld business!

This might be an opportunity!

The more optimistic people have begun to show joy on their faces.

At this time, Akiyama Makoto's eyes lit up after hearing the staff behind him whispering something. Then, when the staff behind him could not persuade him in time, he crossed his legs, coughed twice, stared at Akiyama Kaori and said: "Maybe what you just said is true, that Dongchuan Che does want to make a handheld game console. But the key to the problem is not whether he wants to make a handheld game console. There are so many game companies in the world that want to do handheld game console business, but why are there only NICO and Xiayou Alliance who have done it? The real key thing here is strength! Don't be fooled by her!"
