Chapters 1328 and 1337: An Ambitious Woman!
"Cheers!" "Cheers しましょう!" "[]~(￣▽￣)~*" "."
In the dimly lit suite, the rich, sweet aroma mingled with the pungent smell of alcohol; to the beat of upbeat dance music, scantily clad young women danced energetically; while on the sofa, those enjoying the ambiance raised their glasses in sips of wine.
This is the exciting nightlife in Roppongi!
"One more!" "One more, please." "Hahaha~"
Under the influence of alcohol, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly harmonious; even strangers acted like close brothers.
Yoshimura Otomo also invited Noda Yoshihiko over so that Nagayama Naoki could have a proper meeting with him!
"Naoki-san!"
Yoshihiko Noda, his face flushed, smiled and raised his glass.
"Thank you so much for your support, fellow tree enthusiasts. Let me raise another glass!"
"Haha, if we're brothers, let's not talk like that. Let's drink!"
Naoki Nagayama took the glass with a hearty laugh and downed it in one gulp!
"Hahaha, Naoki-san has a huge capacity for humor!"
Yoshihiko Noda also drank it down in one gulp, but he quickly picked up a grape to suppress the smell of alcohol.
Yoshimura Otomo and Itō Shuichi, sitting next to me, were also happily drinking and chatting with the young ladies they knew, and the overall atmosphere was very pleasant.
Just then, Karune's mother, Motoko Kuwahara, walked into the private room, bringing fresh food and drinks.
"This was just made in the kitchen. Everyone is welcome to try it."
As she spoke, she personally divided the food into small dishes and placed them in front of the guests. She didn't usually do these things to entertain guests, but this room was full of important customers.
Moreover, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Naoki Nagayama in the middle.
"Arigado~"
In this room, although everyone is a guest, Yoshimura Otomo is old and balding, Itō Shuichi has started to gain weight in middle age, and Noda Yoshihiko, although promising, is just average-looking. Only Nagayama Naoki is handsome, young, rich, and talented.
Even though she had seen many customers as a madam in Roppongi, only this one could attract her so quickly without spending money!
"Nagayama-san doesn't seem to come to the Roppongi club very often~"
Motoko Haraguchi sat down in a booth and immediately began exchanging pleasantries.
"I didn't see much of it."
Although Naoki Nagayama was known as the "womanizer" in previous years, surprisingly, he visits nightclubs or clubs very infrequently. When he does go, it's mostly to his own club.
"Ha, Naoki-san doesn't like coming to the club!"
Itō Shuichi said with a smile,
"He's different from us!"
"Eh? Why?"
Motoko Haraguchi asked in surprise, her eyes scanning Naoki Nagayama up and down beside her.
Different? Could it be that Naoki Nagayama has different interests and hobbies?!
Wait a minute, didn't he marry Akina Nakamori? And they even had a daughter!
"Haha~ Look at the looks in the eyes of the other girls in the private room!"
"Ido Shuichi, who had drunk quite a bit, joked."
"Naoki-san feels like he's not a customer at the club, but rather someone who's being consumed! Haha~"
"."
Motoko Haraguchi turned her head and saw that, sure enough, most of the girls were looking in her direction, their eyes gleaming with anticipation as they wanted to be next to Naoki Nagayama. In fact, she herself was no exception.
Sure enough, Naoki Nagayama spending money at the club was like a handsome guy paying to date her!
If they sleep together, it's uncertain who will ultimately suffer the loss!
"Shuichi-san, you've had too much to drink!"
Naoki Nagayama stuffed Shuichi Itō's mouth with fruit, then turned to Motoko Haraguchi and said...
"I'm too busy to go out and have fun. After get off work, all I want to do is rest."
"Oh? Actually, Shuichi-san is right. My little foxes can't help but drool when they see Naoki-san~"
As an experienced club madam, Haraguchi Motoko naturally wasn't offended by Itō Shuichi's teasing; instead, she continued the conversation.
"But what has Nagayama-san been busy with lately?"
"Of course they're filming a movie!"
Seeing his old flame's expression, Yoshihiko Noda suddenly felt a sense of crisis and quickly interrupted.
"Haven't Yuan Zisang heard of Jurassic Park?"
"Ah~ I see," Motoko Haraguchi raised her glass. "Then I wish Naoki-san's new movie great success in advance!"
"Haha, I appreciate your kind words!"
"Naoki-san, you'll have to give me a few movie tickets then!"
"Of course."
The two actually started to defer to each other, their smiling and cheerful demeanor intensifying Noda Yoshihiko's sense of crisis!
He was eager to show off and get attention.
"Naoki-san, my campaign is going very well. Please remember to vote for me in the election on the 23rd!"
"Hahaha, of course!"
Naoki Nagayama had no intention of competing, so he naturally nodded.
"From the 23rd onwards, you should address him as Representative Noda!"
"Haha, it's still early. It's still early."
Having touched on a sensitive topic, Yoshihiko Noda beamed with a smile.
"However, the Social Democratic Party will definitely gain an advantage in the House of Representatives this time!"
"Haha, so in that case, Chairman Doi will be the next prime minister?"
"Most likely."
"Haha, then a talented young man like Representative Noda will surely be given an important position!"
"To contribute to the country!"
Naoki Nagayama was no stranger to flattery at drinking parties, and he casually exchanged pleasantries. With his superior alcohol tolerance, he quickly got Yoshihiko Noda so drunk that he could only talk in his sleep.
Aside from drinking, all he talked about was how he couldn't forget the kindness shown to him and how he wanted to repay it handsomely. Meanwhile, the other two seasoned veterans remained relatively sober.
"Alright, let's stop drinking here for today."
Naoki Nagayama said,
I have things to do tomorrow.
He glanced at Yoshihiko Noda, who was already slumped on the sofa, and asked:
"Noda-kun's words"
Yoshimura Otomo began by saying:
"Noda-kun, don't worry, Haraguchi-san will take care of him!"
"Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you, Haraguchi-san!"
Naoki Nagayama glanced at Motoko Haraguchi, whose face was also flushed.
"Not at all, it's what I should do."
After everyone left the club and returned to the car, Naoki Nagayama saw that Kijima was driving and asked:
"Otomo-san, is that Haraguchi Motoko the one you mentioned who filmed the video?"
"Yes," Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "That's right, she wants to use the video she filmed to blackmail Noda Yoshihiko in the future!"
"Haha, he's certainly ambitious!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled, then continued to ask,
"But Noda-kun is an important pawn in our game; we can't let her threaten us like this. Otomo-san, what are your plans?!"
Yoshimura Otomo, sitting in the passenger seat, patted Kijima Kyō, who was driving:
"Haha, this is all thanks to our Kijima-kun! I sent Kijima-kun to investigate Haraguchi Motoko's past and found out that she had actually blackmailed other people before!"
"That's how I earned my first sum of money and opened this shop."
"Oh?!" Naoki Nagayama didn't ask for details first, but looked at Kyon Kijima. "Kijima-kun, have you finally discovered the wonderful use of your ability?!"
Yoshimura Otomo's eyes were shining as he looked at Kijima Kyō.
"Yeah, I never imagined that Kijima-kun's ability to have a low profile would be so useful!"
"Just like a ninja in a story, appearing and disappearing without a trace!"
"."
Kijima remained silent. He didn't want to! He didn't want to be a ninja at all!
But Otomo-san's promises are too good! He's offering way too much!
They say the tree-loving community is one big family, with some people concerned with appearances and others needing to be the "inner workings." The "appearances" can't be tainted in the slightest, while the "inner workings" need to handle all the dirty work. They portray Kijima Kyō as a hero in the shadows, and so on.
Then Yoshimura Daitomo promised to double his year-end bonus and also guaranteed that once this job was done, he would fully support him in making his next movie!
He also said he would give him Naoki Nagayama's new work, "Full House".
So Kijima, with tears in his eyes, went to investigate Haraguchi Motoko's matter!
"Ahem." Itō Shuichi spoke up to help his disciple, "Otomo-san, you still haven't said how you've arranged things?! How are you going to prevent Haraguchi Motoko from threatening Noda-kun?"
"My plan is to try to buy out this video after Motoko Haraguchi and Yoshihiko Noda have confronted each other and after Yoshihiko Noda begs us for help."
Yoshimura Otomo spoke eloquently.
"It's just money. If you can use money, that's the simplest thing to do. We tree friends aren't short of money!"
"Mmm." Naoki Nagayama nodded, agreeing with this point as well. Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems. "What if Motoko Haraguchi doesn't agree?!"
Shuichi Itō was puzzled:
"She doesn't want money? Then what does she want?"
"As a club madam in Roppongi who earns a fortune every day, money may not really be what she's after."
Naoki Nagayama stroked his chin. An ambitious woman, besides money, perhaps also wants power and status.
“Threatening a member of Congress might be an official matter, helping them get acquitted, or getting into high society, or maybe even wanting to become the official wife.”
"How is that possible?! If you become the main wife, Noda-kun has no future!"
Shuichi Itō was somewhat skeptical. He knew that the club's madam didn't have a good reputation in high society. Unless Yoshihiko Noda was willing to give up his political future, he couldn't possibly divorce and remarry!
Nothing is impossible!
Naoki Nagayama shook his head.
"Once the sex tape was leaked, his reputation was ruined, he would have to resign immediately, and his future would be ruined. If it hadn't been leaked, even if he had married Motoko Haraguchi, he could have used 'true love' as an excuse. At least he could have maintained his position at the time."
"It's just a choice between immediately losing your status and having no future!"
"No matter which option she chooses, Motoko Haraguchi will profit!"
"I can't believe it's like that?" For a moment, Itō Shuu felt a surge of fear towards the club's girls. "This club is a little scary!"
"Haha, if Shuichi-san is going to become a political appointee, he really needs to be careful in this regard!"
Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,
"But for those who don't hold official positions, there's not much pressure; at most, they'll have a few more scandalous stories~ So Otomo-san can go find pretty girls without worry!"
"."
Yoshimura Otomo gave Nagayama Naoki a speechless glare and continued his explanation.
"If Motoko Haraguchi doesn't want money, Kijima-kun has already investigated and found evidence that she's extorting money from others."
"When the time comes, just present the evidence to her and tell her that if she doesn't give you the money, you'll be sued and thrown in jail. She'll probably give in then."
"If that still doesn't work, we'll find a few gangsters and teach her a lesson to scare her."
"What if you're not afraid of that?"
Shuichi Itō asked with some curiosity,
"Is Otomo-san going to drown someone?!"
"Baka!"
Yoshimura Otomo reached out from the front seat to give Itō Shuichi a slap.
"I've already said, we're not villains! You think I'm some kind of born killer who'd just throw people into the sea all the time?!"
"If she still doesn't give in after all this, then we might as well really send her to prison!"
Yoshimura Daitomo continued,
"As for the recording, although it will take some effort, the tree friends' influence in publicity is not to be underestimated."
Let Yoshihiko Noda perform his traditional skill of bowing 90 degrees to apologize, and then help create a persona of a prodigal son returning home.
"He can still continue his political career, and might even garner some voter support."
Even after listening for a while, Kijima Kyō was still somewhat confused:
"How can anyone still support this?!"
"Haha, even politicians can be scammed and blackmailed. Turns out, politicians are just like ordinary people," Naoki Nagayama laughed. "In Japan, people who make mistakes are forgiven. That's called empathy and being down-to-earth."
Yoshimura Otomo continued to nod:
"Yes, he'll still be the victim in the end. That might even garner support from some compassionate people!"
"."
As the car moved forward, the group discussed and decided on how to handle the matter.
Just waiting for Motoko Haraguchi and Yoshihiko Noda to have a showdown, then I can make Yoshihiko Noda owe me even more favors, and finally firmly grasp this guy who will become the prime minister in the palm of my hand!
In the suite bedroom in Karune, Motoko Haraguchi helped Yoshihiko Noda, who was drunk and rambling incoherently, onto the bed.
"Hahaha, Motoko-chan, I'll become Representative Noda!"
Yoshihiko Noda kept talking and reached out to hug Motoko Haraguchi.
"Later, he will become a minister, and then a prime minister!"
"Okay, okay, I will."
Motoko Haraguchi casually brushed it off, pushing Yoshihiko Noda's face away as he leaned closer. Having seen Naoki Nagayama's handsomeness today, she really wasn't in the mood to deal with Yoshihiko Noda's big face!
"Then," Noda Yoshihiko mumbled, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, "that Nagayama Naoki guy will have to toast me respectfully!!!"
Why are you so handsome? Why are you so rich? Why did you marry Akina Nakamori at such a young age? He still harbors jealousy towards Naoki Nagayama!
"."
Motoko Haraguchi pursed her lips. Even the current prime minister would definitely be friendly and amicable when he met Naoki Nagayama!
"You want Naoki-san to toast you?! You're dreaming!"
He's a super-rich man, a famous writer, and a renowned director. His influence and wealth are among the top in Japan, and he also has a vast network of connections.
Not to mention he's still so young!
It will be at least seven or eight years before Yoshihiko Noda becomes prime minister!
"Do you want to be Prime Minister then, Noda?"
Motoko Haraguchi was speechless.
"We might need Naoki Nagayama's approval!"
"Be Prime Minister!"
Yoshihiko Noda is still talking nonsense.
However, Motoko Haraguchi didn't have time to deal with him anymore. She went to the TV cabinet, took out the tape, and put away the HD camera to make sure it wouldn't be discovered. Then she left Yoshihiko Noda alone in the bedroom.
After arriving at the office, he put the tape in the safe and then took out a black notebook.
The above is information about irregular accounts and evidence of illegal transactions that she secretly recorded when she was a bank teller.
"The competition among clubs is too fierce, and they're under financial pressure!"
Motoko Haraguchi opened her notebook, a smile spreading across her delicate face.
Who should we ask for help this time?
These bank executives all have families, and if these scandals were made public, they would lose their jobs. Besides, she doesn't ask for much each time, which is why she has been able to extort money so many times!
"Noda-kun, grow up quickly! We'll need your help in the future!"
Recalling how she had tried everything to seduce Naoki Nagayama in the suite but failed, Motoko Haraguchi sighed.
"Naoki-san... Naoki-san isn't a womanizer?! Can you believe it?!"
I went to see the Black Leather Magazine and found that Emi Takei is very beautiful; she looks stunning in both modern attire and kimonos.
