[Black Basket] Sakura's Basketball

I sat in the study, stopped writing, reached out and twirled the wedding ring on the index finger of my left hand.Two years ago, Ah Zheng and I had the No. 30-year pearl wedding, and another 20 years will be the golden wedding.I couldn't help but smile.

30 years, with the blink of an eye and the opening of a mouth, it will pass.

Ah Zheng said he would hold my hand and he would not let go, and I would not let him go.Although this is a bit perverted, he is really a good husband.In the end, I didn't know if it was the right choice not to let go even if I was tired, maybe A Zheng took my thinking away again.

The phone rang suddenly, and I looked at the number of the caller, and looked at my watch while connecting in doubt.How could it be Ah Zheng's number?At this time, he should take a helicopter with Shi Xu and the others to the French son-in-law's mansion.

"..." After the phone was connected, there was a noisy voice, booming, I almost couldn't hear Ah Zheng's voice, "...Saki..."

"Ah Zheng?" I suddenly felt my whole body go cold.

──My intuition is always right.

"...Saki," Ah Zheng seemed to be covering the microphone with his hands, trying his best to isolate the sound from the outside world and convey his voice, "Sakura, I love you."

My hands froze for a moment, but my mouth quickly said: "I love you, Seijuro."

"...One day, every day with you, I am very happy, please don't doubt it. I love you, Sakura."

"From the time you pointed at the old couple and said, 'We will all be like this', and then hugged me, Ah Zheng, I have been very happy. That was the first time I knew what happiness is, Ah Zheng, I Love you."

"I love you. Please don't cry, as long as you want, I will always be by your side," Ah Zheng's voice gradually became blurred, "Remember, I love you, Saki. I love you..."

"I am also very happy, I love you, Azheng, I love you, Azheng? Azheng! Azheng!" After a harsh bang, the phone disconnected, and I stood up abruptly, facing the broken line. The mobile phone yelled, "Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng!"

"What happened?" Akashi Masomi walked in.

I didn't answer his words, and my subordinates quickly called Ah Zheng's number back, but the response I got was a mechanical recording that the owner had turned off.I called three times in a row with the same result, and I didn't dare to call again. I was afraid that the line would be busy when Ah Zheng called back, so I jumped to Akashi Masaomi's side and snatched his mobile phone, using the phone number he stored in the mobile phone. Call Ah Zheng's secretary Ito Naoki in the phone book.

"... madam?" Ito Naosheng answered the phone in doubt.

"Where is your boss?"

Ito was stunned for a moment before answering: "Huh? Sir and Missy boarded the helicopter half an hour ago. Well, Mr. Akashi has never cheated on you, so you really don't need to call to check... "

When I interrupted Naosheng Ito, tears had already flowed out, but my tone was unusually calm, "Check the local civil aviation records for me, no matter what kind of relationship you have, just check it for me right away."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Akashi Seishomo expressionlessly, "Ah Masa called just now and then disconnected. Ito said that he, Seo, Arrian, and Seiji have all boarded the helicopter."

Akashi Masomi was startled, then opened his eyes wide, looking at me almost in disbelief.

Of course he understood what I meant.

I looked at him, tears kept falling, but I didn't feel any pain, I didn't even feel the cold before, I just felt like I was watching a slide show, looking at it through my eyes in a trance The other me is arranging affairs, and the real self has no feeling at all, and all feelings have been withdrawn.

Actually, I'm probably really an intuitive sucker.

──On December 25th, Seijuro, Seo, who was only 20 years old, Ariane, Seo's husband, and Seiji, who was almost [-] years old, all left me without warning because of a helicopter crash in France.

When I was married for almost 32 years, Ah Zheng, who never left me, just left me like this.

December [-]th is Seijuro's birthday and our wedding anniversary.

On the 27th, above the mourning hall, I was kneeling in a black kimono. Seishomi Akashi was helping to receive the visitors with a serious face. Seijiro Akashi, a two-year-old grandson, was sitting next to me with a smirk.I stretched out my arms to embrace him, and gently scratched his cheek with my fingers, Seijiro giggled, drawing the attention of others.

May, who was following Aomine Dahui, burst into tears, I smiled at her comfortingly, and asked someone to take her to rest.

Relatives, colleagues, and old friends came forward to pay tribute one by one.

Akashi Masomi was waiting outside the door, and the only ones who could stay in the mourning hall to receive greetings were me and Seijiro.

"Ma'am." As soon as Ah Zheng entered the company, he followed his secretary-general, Naosheng Ito, and hurriedly walked to me in a neat black suit, bent down and whispered in my ear: "Ma'am, this morning When the market opened, the Akashi Consortium’s share price plummeted again by [-]%, and Mr. Asao is contacting other shareholders, hoping to hold a general meeting of shareholders.”

If it is going to be held at Akashi's house, if you want to hold a general meeting of shareholders at this time, Aso probably has bad intentions.I handed Seijiro to the housekeeper Nitta—he is the nephew of Mrs. Inoue, the previous housekeeper. Then I stood up on the ground, but a sharp pain came from my right foot. Ito Naosheng quickly stretched out his hand to support me, and I so as not to fall.

"Thanks," I was helped out, and then I covered my forehead in the empty corridor, "Ito, I have only been in charge of the clothing line, and I only heard about the head office from Seijuro. Please tell me more in detail. Also, let’s talk about this fucking Aso’s mistakes that can be exploited.” I sat down on the fence with one hand on the railing, and swept up with the other, trying to brush my forehead hair I opened it, only to realize that I had pinned it up early in the morning, put it up with a wig, and was wearing the most formal Japanese mourning clothes.

"Yes, ma'am."

We talked for a long time before I figured things out.I thought about it, and looked at Naoyu Ito, who was about the same age as me and Seijuro, "To be honest, I think you are super annoying, and you never say anything without making seventeen or eighth turns. Give me face."

Ito Naosheng twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

"However, I don't really hate you. Seijuro can use you for so long, you must be very capable. You know what the company is like now, and I really need your help. Are you willing to stay?" Help me? Let me explain first, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, I will arrange your retirement, don’t worry. Forgive me for speaking bluntly without paying attention to Caolu. I don’t have time to dawdle now. Ito, give me a promise Let's talk."

"..." Naoyu Ito, who was always very decent, turned red unexpectedly.He tensed his body, took a step back, bowed ninety degrees to me, and lowered his head, "Madam, please let me follow you!"

"Thank you." I raised my hand, "I can't stand up, so I won't help you, get up by yourself. I know you stayed because of Seijuro, don't force yourself to be respectful to me, I don't like this either Set. Well, let’s do this for now,” I leaned on the railing, barely stood up under the strong support of Ito Naosheng, “I’ll crush those people first, and we’ll talk about it later.”

"Yes, ma'am."

This year's New Year's Eve party couldn't be held. On January [-], the shareholders' meeting was held while the iron was hot.

As soon as the car stopped at the company's gate, reporters swarmed up, and two rows of bodyguards rushed forward to separate the people.The driver trotted out of the car and opened the door. Secretary-General Ito Naosuke stepped forward to help me out, and the ministers lined up at the door and bowed to me.

"Are you there?" I slowly walked past the people on both sides and asked.

"Yes, all the directors are here," Naoki Ito whispered in my ear, "Mr. Asao..."

The staff opened the door of the meeting room, and I walked in. The directors looked at me, but none of them had the intention to stand up, and they just looked at me sarcastically.

Although I have worked hard, I think I still don't understand Ah Zheng's pressure enough.

"Sit down first," I sat down on the big chair Ito pulled out, "Yeah? Ah, no one stands up, of course no one needs to sit down, right?"

"you……"

"Don't think that being older than me can make me respect you," I looked at the director who wanted to talk, "What's more, there are still some brats here. This is the Akashi Foundation, who is the superior, show me Clear. You still want me to give you a good face when you have a meeting at such a fucking time? I don’t have such a big heart. Tell me, what do you want? No, I will speak for you.” I raised my eyes and smiled, “I have the right to manage It will not be handed over."

The human-looking Aso said: "Madam, this is not something you can decide just because you are stubborn or unwilling. The entire council has already..."

I picked up Seijuro's crystal seat nameplate on the case, stood up with the edge of the table, and threw it at Aso's feet, "Stop talking nonsense, just shut up. Council? Do you want me to dismiss you immediately? I have 20.00% of the equity in my hand, plus the 5.00% five inherited from Seijuro, and 50.00% from my father; the [-]% owned by Shio and the [-]% owned by Seiji are all inherited by Seijiro , and I am the guardian of Seijiro, and I have the right to exercise this part of the equity before he becomes an adult. I don’t know as much as you, but I understand this part correctly? More than [-]% of the equity is enough for me to dismiss All of you, well, it's a hassle to do this because of the listing, but that doesn't mean I can't do it."

"Ma'am! Do you recognize..."

"Use honorifics for me," I tapped on the table, and said, "unless you don't intend to continue working in this company. Do you want to say there will be chaos? Simple, just don't dismiss your posts. The premise is that I You have absolute veto power, no matter how you jump, there is only one end, jump a fart. You only have two choices, one, cooperate with me to survive the company; two, I will fire you now, and you can do it before you die. Keep your eyes open to see if the Akashi consortium will collapse without you. Anyway, you are also shareholders, and I will drag you to be buried with me even if it collapses. Of course, I don’t think I will come to this point. Compared with you, I value it more. The ministers outside the meeting room, to put it bluntly, you are just eating for free. If you have a little brain, you should know that what you have to do now is to work hard to stabilize the company's stock price first." I flipped my wrist and pointed to Ito, "Ito Dong is on my side, if you have the ability to instigate him, otherwise, I won’t be afraid even if you all leave. Well, Yidong,” I turned to look at him, “Let’s explain first, even if you leave, I won’t Say a word of fear."

"Yes," Ito Naosuke maintained his attitude since the day of the funeral, and bowed respectfully to me, "Ma'am."

──Are you promoted to Empress Dowager?

I raised my chin, "It's good, it's quiet enough, I won't smash things. Ito, bring it." I put a nameplate with my name on the table, made of stone, "From today, Akashi The chairman of the consortium is me, Akashi Sakura, and my grandson Akashi Seijiro is the next heir, let me see if you have the guts to see if you die first or I, Akashi Sakura, collapse first." I looked at Aso, "Hey, give me an accurate word, don't pretend, the whole world knows that you ordered it. Where do you think you are? This is Akashi who has been passed down for thousands of years. It is too simple to collapse, but it will pass sooner or later. , unless you blow up the entire head office. No," I raised the corners of my mouth, "that is, the entire company is gone, and Akashi Seishi is still sitting in my house. Now, can we all sit down?" Sit down, and I also sit back, "Today's agenda is not the fucking management rights, but how to stabilize the fucking stock price..."

When I walked out of the meeting room, the ministers waiting outside immediately stood up and bowed to me.

The burden of being expected has long been known.

I exhale.

"Ma'am?" Ito quickly stepped forward to support me.

"It's okay, don't you think their faces are super funny when I mention Dad?" I sneered, raised my hand to greet the ministers, and walked to Ah Zheng's office, "Bullying the old and weak, women and children, what?" I walked into the elevator, He said to Aso, who was standing outside with a livid face: "It's you who are talking about, have the guts to do it, but don't have the guts to admit it?" The door of the machine was slowly closed, "Don't you ask about my shares before the meeting?" Why is it too simple? What's going on? Hey.

"They don't know that the master gave you 40.00% and the young master [-]%. According to their thinking, they can suppress the [-]% of the Akashi family. I think this is what the master meant by doing so."

"...Don't you even ask where the 11.00% is going?"

"who knows."

I touched my chin, "No, not counting me and Seiji, they are only 20.00%, and the rest is in the hands of the stock market and other partners. No matter how you look at it, the Akashi family is a sure win."

"I've sent someone to check the stock market flow."

"Take the opportunity to lower the price to absorb free shares," I rolled my eyes, "Bitch. If you find out, you will release the evidence. Even if you don't feel ashamed and commit suicide, there is no place for such a person in Japanese companies. Just let him go abroad, don't come here." Blocking my eyes. Seizing the opportunity to improve is not the same as eating inside and outside."

With a ding, the door opened, and Ito helped me out, "Ma'am, well, you shouldn't just have an affair with Asahi right now."

"He has already torn my face, and there was no chance of coexistence, but it turned out to be confrontation anyway, do you still have to hold your breath to make yourself uncomfortable?" The secretary who was sitting outside the door hurried forward and opened the door of the office. Ito helped me walk in, and the panoramic office overlooking Tokyo appeared in front of me, "I don't have such good intentions. Ito, instead of worrying about it," I smiled, "Let's think about how to blow up the stock price first. Before Dad Before you bother with these things, get rid of them first."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Ito, do you believe me?"

"..." Ito Naosheng turned his face away in embarrassment, "I don't believe it."

I looked at the glass window, looked at the pedestrians who looked like ants under my feet, folded my arms and said with a smile: "It's not bad to be willing to say that to me. Come with me and see how much we can trust each other." I He straightened up, stroked his forehead hair with one hand, and opened his eyes wide for a while.After a while, I turned my head and looked at him, "See how far we can go. Let me explain for the last time that Seijuro and I are not the same type of people. I am not as perverted as he is, and I am not as stupid as he is. You still have time to run away." .”

"...Yes, ma'am."

"Be neat."

"Yes, ma'am."

I frowned, "Momentum."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"good."

"..."

"Who told you to speak ill of me in front of Seijuro." I shrugged, pulled out my chair and sat down at the desk, "Stop playing, come on."

"Yes, yes! Ma'am!"

When I got home, I went to see Seijiro and was about to go into the study to report today's events to Akashi Seitomi, but I saw him sitting behind the desk through the crack of the door, covering his eyes and bowing his head sobbing.Masayoshi Akashi is almost 80 years old this year, and his heart is not good. I managed to persuade him not to let him go back to the company and worry about it.

The curtains of the study room were drawn heavily, and the lights in the room were not turned on.

I stepped lightly and walked out slowly.

Ah Zheng.

I stumbled and held on to the side railing, took a few deep breaths, stood up again, and walked to the room where the spiritual tablet was placed.The photo of Shiori's mother has long since faded, but the photo next to her is still brand new.

Shi Xu's character is actually more like Seijuro's, who will never give up until the goal is reached, and will not mind the means if necessary, and will not blink when it is time to be ruthless.But she is not a reckless person, and her conduct is quite good. Shio is the most satisfied young lady of Akashi Seishomi and Seijuro.Well, my father is dissatisfied with Seo's behavior, and she looks like me. Whenever Seo swears, Akashi Masaomi's eyes will fly at me, but Ah Zheng doesn't mind.

He looks like Seijuro's son, Seiji, but his personality is a bit like me. He is the most unrestrained man, and he behaves like a qualified young master, but from time to time he leaks his ruffian air.He himself knew this, but intentionally or unintentionally, he ignored his words and deeds, pretended to be a good young master and deliberately let people know that he was faking, no one knew what he was thinking.In terms of talent, Zhengji is actually better than Shixu, but his temperament is indeed not suitable to be an heir, otherwise, one day the Akashi family will be destroyed by him, and after the elders in the family die, he will go crazy and donate all the family property. unknown.This aspect is not like me, and I don't know who I am like.

In fact, these two guys have a lot of shortcomings, the eldest lady and the young master have tempers, but in the eyes of me and Ah Zheng, there is always a reason to excuse them. Anyway, changing the point of view becomes an advantage, ah ha.

Once when I was in the hospital, I worried about what would happen to my two children after Ah Zheng and I passed away.At that time, Ah Zheng was obviously very tired, but he still folded up his sleeves, carried me to the garden of the hospital to bask in the sun, and said in a gentle voice, let them die, and don't bother us.I slapped him, saying that he said too much and wanted to go to the ground, but in fact I didn't want him to carry me behind my back.Ah Zheng lifted his arm up with a smile, and said, at least let him carry it until he can no longer carry it, and then think of other ways.Then, I really stopped talking nonsense, bent on his back willfully, and directed him to carry me to buy cakes.He was fine, he wasn't annoyed at all, and he didn't care about the strange eyes of passers-by. He was sweating all over and asked me with a smile if I wanted strawberries or chocolate.

In fact, when he is not stepped on, Ah Zheng's temper is so good that there is no place to bite him.

But that day, I still bit him.

Because, I always feel that he is hateful for always poking his heart.At that time, Ah Zheng rubbed my head with a wry smile, and obediently offered his arm for me to bite.

It's no wonder that Zhengji always said that her mother was like a child when she was sensible. No matter how impatient Shixu was, she always let me, as if she was afraid that a toothpick would stab me to death. She felt that if I saw her bad side, I would world will collapse.

What a big misunderstanding.

It was one of the PLAYs between me and Ah Zheng.

Looking at the photo of Seijuro on the altar, I was stunned, and before the tears fell, I opened the door and jumped out, fleeing in despair.

The next morning, I stood in front of the window, leaned on the window frame and slightly separated my feet to shoulder width, stood firmly, then crossed my hips, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and opened my eyes wide.

The door was knocked by the butler Xintian, "Madam, please have breakfast."

I exhaled slowly, opened the door with my crutches and walked out, "Thank you. Dad?"

"The old master is already downstairs, and the young master is still sleeping."

"Understood." Akashi Masomi was also cheering up.I thought about it, and said, "Call me early tomorrow, and I'll make breakfast."

"... Ma'am? You still have to go back to the company..."

I interrupted him, "I said I will do it."

"Yes."

"Thank you. Sorry, I've been having a bad temper lately."

"No, please don't say that."

It's another day back to work.Fortunately, my clothing brand is under the Akashi consortium, so I won't be blind to the affairs of the head office now, but even so, I am still entangled in these matters. Under Dong Zhisheng's guidance, he managed to get the situation under control with difficulty and secured his position as chairman.

A year later, the New Year's Eve party was held again. I walked around the venue in a kimono and left first. Naturally, no one dared to stop me.As if I couldn't control myself, I walked into the altar room that I hadn't been in for a year.

Ah Zheng's photo is still placed in the same position.

It is still the delicate outline that I am familiar with.

My tears flowed down like this.

Seijuro.

Akashi Seijuro.

With a bang, I closed the door behind my back, then dragged my right foot with my left foot, walked quickly to the altar, picked up the candlestick and slammed it on the ground with a bang.not enough.I picked up the plate containing the pastry again, raised my hand and slammed it to the ground, the pastry was scattered all over the floor, and the ceramic pieces were scattered.I picked up the incense burner with both hands, held it high above my head, and smashed it down. With a bang, the ashes spilled out, and a white mist was raised.

I was stunned, and then screamed, "Ah─────────────!" I lay down on the altar, swept everything on the table to the ground, and stepped on Ah Zheng I kept stepping on the photo, and the photo frame was crushed by me. The sharp broken part pierced the bottom of my foot until the blood flowed horizontally, and the blood red soaked the white socks.I still kept stepping on it, and then fell to the ground.

My vision was already blurred by tears, but I still crawled towards the altar, pushed the whole altar down, climbed back again, disregarded stabbing my hand, and used brute force to remove all the photo frames, and smashed the glass pieces and wooden frames Throwing it away, holding the photo and tearing it non-stop, tearing all the photos to pieces.

"Ah─────! Ahh────────!" I screamed meaninglessly, "Ah!!!!!!!!!!" Fell on the ground, I only knew how to scream and howling.

"Ah─────!!!!!!"

"what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After a while, holding back my convulsed breathing, I crawled to pick up the fragments of the photos one by one, and saw one with Ah Zheng's red eyes.I froze again, then shrank to the corner holding the fragments, hugging my knees, tears, snot and hair on the sideburns stuffed me.

"Woo..." I closed my eyes, clutching my chest vigorously, "Ah Zheng, wow!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I hit my head against the wall, Collide.I don't know what to do to get myself to breathe.

Knowing the happiness of having you, how can I live in a world without you?

Do you think that by teaching me how to work, how to control my diet, and how to feed myself, I can live on my own?

That's not what I want.

I want you!

It is the so-called love that I can't understand until now and is destroying me.

I love you, Ah Zheng.

I love you.

"Ah──────────!!!!!!!!! Ah───────────────!"

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital.Looking at the pure white ceiling, I moved my right foot.

Then, I knew I would never be able to stand up again.

No one ever said that the greater the happiness, the greater the disaster.

I turned over, turned my back to Akashi Seiomi who was standing by the door, buried my face in the pillow, gritted my teeth, and tears rolled down again.

Ah Zheng, I am now so happy that my heart hurts.

The first to go is you, cunning dead.

A month later, I went back to work at the head office as usual, sat in the office where Seijuro had been, and buried myself in making up for the work I had left behind for a month.In addition to the Akashi mansion, even the head office has now been rebuilt into a barrier-free space, and branch offices around the world are also starting to renovate, but because of this, they can hire many more disabled employees.

Well, yes, I can no longer stand up, I need to sit in a wheelchair, my eyesight has also been greatly reduced, and I have glasses hanging around my neck, and I need to wear them when I read documents.

I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have quarreled with Ah Zheng often. Every minute, every second, what a waste.

That's the happiness that slipped away.
