Chapter 9 The gods just laughed it off
In this world, some people are born in Rome.
And Nagasawa Keisuke thought he was born as a cow and a horse.
He has no obvious family background. His parents grew potatoes in Hokkaido.
But fortunately, Nagasawa is a hard worker.
Always.
He believes that heaven rewards hard work, as long as he works hard and redoubles his efforts, sooner or later he will get everything he wants, money, status, and fame, sooner or later he will get it.
Keisuke Nagasawa has ambitions and ambitions, and he won't lie flat like most Heisei men, so what if his background is not good? So what if the social class is solidified and it is difficult to rise?
He studied hard, worked hard to solve the questions, and won the opportunity to study abroad.
He worked hard, worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, and was appreciated by his superiors with his outstanding performance.
He worked hard to pursue Miss Nagao, stalked her, and even abandoned her dignity in order to win the favor of the president's only daughter.
In addition to these hard work that can be said on the stage, he has also done a lot of things that are inconvenient to say.
But so what?
There are so many people in this world who have been able to sit back and enjoy the benefits since they were born, but I am just doing my best and using all available means to climb up. What's wrong?
With the efforts of Keisuke Nagasawa, everything is developing in a good direction.
If there is no accident, he will be able to marry Miss Nagao next year. Afterwards, he even had the opportunity to become a deputy minister and be promoted to minister.
When the old president resigns, or dies unexpectedly, he will have the opportunity to become the new president of Qingshui Club by virtue of his son-in-law status!
Get ahead, get ahead.
Everything is within easy reach.
This is the result of his hard work for so many years!
He deserves it all!
Therefore, it must not be ruined by a stupid thing done in school days and a kid who appeared out of nowhere.
Absolutely not!
"Mr. Nagasawa, what are you thinking? Gritting your teeth, if the roasted lantern is cold, it won't taste good. Or should I still eat your share?"
Kamiyagawa's voice brought Keisuke Nagasawa back from the complicated psychological activities to reality.
Nagasawa is naturally not in the mood to taste delicious food now, so the last string of grilled lanterns also belongs to Kamiyagawa.
"Although it is essentially chicken ovaries and immature eggs, the taste of roasted lanterns is really good, and you won't get tired of eating them at all."
"Don't talk about roasting lanterns, you haven't answered my question just now." Facing Kamiyagawa's Yuya Yuya, Nagasawa Keisuke was already impatient, "What do you want? Money?"
"Oh? How much can you give me?" Kamiyagawa raised his eyebrows, showing interest.
"2 million yen, you will disappear immediately after taking this money, and we will never see each other again, and that matter is rotten in your stomach, how about it?"
There were no customers in the izakaya, and the waiters were far away, but when Nagasawa Keisuke spoke, he kept his voice very low.
2 million yen is definitely a huge sum of money for a minor of the age of a high school student.
"Mr. Nagasawa is really rich, no wonder others say you are young and promising."
After Kamiyagawa preached like this, he bit off the last roasted lantern from the wooden stick.
With chewing, the juice bursts in the mouth, mixed with fresh egg liquid, the meat part is elastic, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
Nagasawa Keisuke pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, probably because he felt that his asking price had already grasped the underage in front of him. He had a little confidence in his speech, and he had a fatherly taste:
"But I still want to remind you, it's best to accept the benefits as soon as you get the benefits. In addition, extortion is illegal, young man."
Human greed is a hole that cannot be filled. If there is a first blackmail, there must be a second time.
Nagasawa Keisuke is all too clear about this.
If the kid in front of him is smart enough to disappear after receiving the money, it would be best if he rotted in his stomach.
Nagasawa Keisuke doesn't mind spending 2 million yen to eliminate disasters and keep his bright future.
But if Kamiyagawa is not greedy enough and uses this incident again and again to threaten and extort money.
After Nagasawa Keisuke spent money to slow down the other party's actions, he had to take some special ways to deal with it, such as trying to find a way to quietly sink this kid into Tokyo Bay.
Kamiya Chuan swallowed the grilled lantern, and began to slap the wooden stick: "2 million yen, a few screenshots copied from the Internet can be exchanged for so much money, I have made a lot of money."
"It's good that you understand. It seems that we have reached a conclusion. Do you agree with my proposal?"
"No." Kamiyagawa put down the wooden stick that had finished talking, and showed a smile that he thought was very handsome, "I refuse."
This is a completely unexpected answer.
Nagasawa Keisuke's eyes twitched and he was stunned for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he cleared his expression and weighed the re-offer:
"Isn't there enough money? 3 million, up to 3 million yen. Boy, I advise you not to be too greedy."
"It's not about money, and I don't want your money either."
Shen Guchuan said this on his lips, but what he thought in his heart was, don't bid up the price, brother, I will really be moved.
"No money? Oh, then what do you want?" Nagasawa Keisuke didn't seem to believe this kind of rhetoric very much.
"Didn't I say that? I received a small commission from Ms. Kuriyama."
Nagasawa Keisuke didn't reply, his eyes fell on the face of the boy in front of him through the lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses, cloudy or sunny.
He was getting more and more confused about what this little ghost who appeared out of nowhere was going to do.
The atmosphere became weird and dull.
For a moment, there was only the rustling sound from the huge wall-mounted TV.
The black-and-white translation of "Romeo and Juliet" is being played to the scene of Luo and Zhu's tryst dialogue. The two actors are reciting their lines emotionally, praising the beautiful love——
Juliet: "Who told you to find this place?"
Romeo: "Love urged me to seek out this place."
Romeo: "Love advises me, and I lend love my eyes. I don't know how to steer a boat, but if you are on a far and distant seashore, I will brave the wind and waves to search for your treasure."
At the dinner table, it was Kamiyagawa who broke the silence first.
"Mr. Nagasawa, I'm curious, did you really love Ms. Kuriyama? Would you feel guilty about her death?"
"what do you mean?"
Nagasawa Keisuke narrowed his eyes, his expression cloudy and uncertain.
"It's not interesting. From the time I found you to now, the thing you care about the most is how to keep my mouth shut, isn't it?" Kamiyagawa shrugged, "I just think, maybe you should show guilt, Even if it's just a little bit."
"you……"
Nagasawa Keisuke's eyes turned cold and he remained silent.
Only the voices from the black-and-white dubbed film "Romeo and Juliet" remained around—
Juliet: "Romeo, do you love me? I know you will say 'yes'. I will also believe your words, but maybe your oath is just a lie."
Juliet: "It is said that the gods laugh at the treachery of lovers."
