In this world, some people are born in Rome.
And Nagasawa Keisuke believed that he was born a cow and horse.
He doesn’t have any impressive family background. His parents grew potatoes in Hokkaido.
But fortunately, Nagasawa is a hardworking person.
Always.
He believes that God rewards hard work, and as long as he works hard and redoubles his efforts, sooner or later he will get everything he wants, including money, status, and fame.
Nagasawa Keisuke has ambitions and ambitions. He will not lie down like most Heisei men. So what if he comes from a bad background? What if the social class is solidified and it is difficult to rise?
He studied hard, worked hard to answer questions, and won the opportunity to study abroad.
He worked hard and worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, and was recognized by his superiors for his outstanding performance.
He worked hard to pursue Miss Nagao, stalked her, and even abandoned his dignity to gain the favor of the president's only daughter.
In addition to these efforts that can be talked about on the stage, he has also done many things that are difficult to explain clearly.
But so what?
There are so many people in this world who have been able to enjoy the success since they were born, but I am just trying my best and using all available means to climb up. What's wrong with that?
With the efforts of Nagasawa Keisuke, everything is developing in a good direction.
If nothing else happens, he will be able to marry Miss Nagao next year. After that, he had the opportunity to become a deputy chief and be promoted to a minister.
After the old president quits or dies unexpectedly, he will have the opportunity to become the new president of Qingshui Club by virtue of his status as son-in-law!
Get ahead, get ahead.
Everything is close at hand and at your fingertips.
This is the result of so many years of hard work!
He deserves this!
Therefore, everything must not be ruined by a stupid thing he did when he was a student and a kid who appeared out of nowhere.
Absolutely not!
"Mr. Nagasawa, what are you thinking about? You are grinding your teeth. If the grilled lantern is cold, it will not taste good. Or should I still eat your share?"
Kamiyagawa's voice brought Nagasawa Keisuke back to reality from his complicated psychological activities.
Naturally, Nagasawa was not in the mood to taste delicious food right now, so the last skewers of grilled lanterns were returned to Kamiya River.
"Although it's essentially chicken ovaries and immature eggs, the roasted lantern tastes so good that you won't get tired of it at all."
"Stop talking about the lantern, you haven't answered my question just now." Facing Yuya Yuya in Kamiya River, Nagasawa Keisuke was already getting impatient, "What do you want? Money?"
"Oh? How much can you give me?" Kamiyakawa raised his eyebrows, showing interest.
"Two million yen. After you take this money, you disappear immediately. From now on, we don't want to see each other again. The matter will be rotten in your stomach. How about it?"
There were not many customers in the izakaya, and the waiter was far away, but Nagasawa Keisuke still kept his voice very low when he spoke.
Two million yen is definitely a huge amount of money for a high school student.
"Mr. Nagasawa is so generous. No wonder others say you are young and promising."
Kamiyagawa preached like this, and after speaking, he bit off the last roasting lantern from the wooden skewer.
As you chew, the juice explodes in your mouth, mixed with fresh egg liquid. The meaty part is elastic, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
Nagasawa Keisuke pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. Perhaps he felt that his offer had already caught the minor in front of him. He spoke with some confidence and a fatherly tone:
"But I still want to remind you, it's best to accept the benefits after you get them. Besides, extortion is illegal, young man."
Human greed is a hole that cannot be filled. If there is a first time for extortion, there will definitely be a second time.
Nagasawa Keisuke knows this very well.
It would be best if the kid in front of me was smart enough to disappear after accepting the money and keep the matter in his stomach.
Nagasawa Keisuke doesn't mind spending 2 million yen to eliminate disasters and protect his bright future.
But if Kamiyagawa is not greedy enough and uses this matter again and again to blackmail and extort money.
After Nagasawa Keisuke spent money to slow down the opponent's actions, he had to adopt some special methods to deal with it, such as finding a way to quietly sink the kid into Tokyo Bay.
Kamiyagawa swallowed the roasted lantern and began to murmur: "Two million yen. A few screenshots copied from the Internet can be exchanged for so much money. I made a lot of money."
"As long as you understand. It seems that we have reached an agreement. Do you agree with my proposal?"
"No." Kamiyakawa put down the wooden stick after finishing it and showed a smile that he thought was very handsome. "I refuse."
This was a completely unexpected answer.
Nagasawa Keisuke's eyes twitched and he was stunned for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he calmed down his expression and weighed up the price again:
"Isn't the money enough? 3 million, at most 3 million yen. Boy, I advise you not to be too greedy."
"It's not about money. I don't want your money either."
Kamiyakawa said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was, "Stop raising the price, brother, I am really moved."
"No money? Ha, what do you want?" Nagasawa Keisuke didn't seem to believe this statement.
"Didn't I say it? I received a small commission from Miss Kuriyama."
Nagasawa Keisuke didn't reply. His eyes fell on the face of the young man in front of him through the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses, which looked uncertain.
He became more and more confused as to what this kid who appeared out of nowhere was going to do.
The atmosphere became strange and dull.
For a moment, the only thing left was the rustling sound coming from the huge wall-mounted TV.
The black-and-white translation of "Romeo and Juliet" is playing the scene of Luo and Zhu's tryst and dialogue. The two actors are reciting their lines with emotion, praising the beautiful love——
Juliet: "Who told you to find yourself here?"
Romeo: "Love encouraged me to discover 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 distant seaside, I will brave the storm to find this treasure of yours."
At the dinner table, Kamiyakawa was the first to break the silence.
"Mr. Nagasawa, I am very curious, did you really love Miss Kuriyama? Do you feel guilty about her death?"
"what do you mean?"
Nagasawa Keisuke narrowed his eyes, his expression uncertain.
"It's not interesting. From the time I found you to now, the thing you care about most is how to shut my mouth, isn't it?" Kamiyachuan shrugged, "I just think that maybe you should show guilt, Even if it’s just a little bit.”
"you……"
Nagasawa Keisuke's eyes turned cold and he remained silent.
The only sounds left around me were the sounds from the black-and-white translation of "Romeo and Juliet"——
Juliet: "Romeo, do you love me? I know you will say 'yes'. I will also believe your words, but maybe the oath you swore was just a lie."
Juliet: "They say the gods laugh at the betrayal of lovers."
