Miss Yizi invited them as a servant, but Bai Ye and the other two, or perhaps everyone in the entire venue, did not dare to be rude to her.
"We had something to eat before we came here, so please help yourself, Miss Yizi."
"Okay, what about sir?"
"I want to eat the pastries you made, Yizi."
"Okay sir, I'll go home and get it. It'll probably take more than an hour to go there and back."
Tanakado "..."
"Yizi, you relaxed a lot when the boys were around."
"Isn't it the same for sir? Um... can I have a grilled pork chop with the oatmeal?"
"That's enough, go ahead."
A few minutes later, Miss Yiko came back with a tray and brought some drinks and pudding to Bai Ye and the other two.
Bai Ye and his friends occupied a table and ate and chatted.
"Come to think of it, what is the main purpose of holding this party? It's not really to show off, right?" Bai Ye asked.
"Don't be ridiculous, kid. According to industry tradition, the end of autumn marks the end of the entire year's operations. This is roughly the time when the full year's turnover is calculated. We have an idea of what's needed, the current situation, and what needs to be changed. So we look for opportunities here."
"Oh, that's pretty much what I thought. I understand why I discovered that shit now."
Tanakado glanced at him.
"The world is becoming more corrupted, and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be... I didn't expect that I could misjudge even a boy like you with thick eyebrows and big eyes."
"What's wrong with me?" Bai Ye was full of questions.
"I told you to go to Tanaka Company when you have time, but did you go? You took my money and my car but didn't do anything with it. Do you think I was wrong?"
Seeing the old man pretending to pound the table, Bai Ye was completely speechless.
"It was my birthday last week."
"So what if it's your birthday? Isn't it true that you didn't go?!"
white night"……"
"I'll go tomorrow, okay? I have an appointment with Xiaohui." Bai Ye raised his hands in surrender, but he was not going to give in. "My salary hasn't arrived yet, and I can't drive my car. You even want me to pay for parking?!"
"That's your business."
Tanakado finished a bowl of oatmeal, took the handkerchief handed to him by Miss Yoriko and wiped his mouth, then looked at Sayuri Sawamura with a serious look.
"Ms. Sawamura, I don't know if it's appropriate for me to address you like that."
"No problem. Mr. Tanaka, do you have any instructions?" Sayuri Sawamura nodded.
"No, I just heard some rumors recently and came here to see what the situation is."
Chapter 915 Love Will Always Come
"What rumor?"
As if a key word was touched, Bai Ye suddenly became nervous, and his reaction was greater than Sayuri Sawamura and Akane Benizaka's.
"Boy," Tanakado said, becoming interested. "This is about your aunt's company. Why are you more nervous than she is? Are you thinking about your aunt's family business?"
"What the hell is going on..." Bai Ye blurted out.
He thought about it again and felt that it was necessary to give a detailed explanation. After all, some avoidable misunderstandings were caused by the information gap of "I thought you would understand".
To this end, he adopted the proper posture, expression and tone of someone who was doing serious work.
"I feel it's necessary to clarify that I have no desire for my aunt's property. What's mine is mine, and what's hers is hers. Of course, I believe there will be a considerable overlap, and I will handle it with respect for my aunt. In addition..."
Sayuri Sawamura stopped him from explaining further, holding his hand under the table and soothing him with her words and actions.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Jun, if you keep going like this, you might have to prove it in black and white, but then we won't be like a family. Auntie has always believed in you. If I don't believe you, wouldn't that mean I'm not good at judging people and that I've brought disaster to Eriri and the Sawamura family?"
Tanakado was also frightened by Bai Ye's sudden reaction, and nodded and said slowly:
"I thought you would try to get away with it in a cunning way, but I didn't expect you to become so serious all of a sudden. 'Loving the country more than the beauty' is really a fitting description for you."
At this time, Miss Yizi stood up and bowed respectfully to Bai Ye.
"Mr. Xiao, I apologize for my gaffe just now."
"It's okay." Bai Ye waved his hand. "Like I always tell everyone, when the time comes, we have to explain everything clearly. It's inevitable that I'll encounter this kind of problem if my aunt and I continue to get along. Mr. Tanaka just brought the time forward."
"Not bad, not bad." Tanakado stroked his mustache and said, "Boy, you can take it and put it down. The Sawamura family is lucky. Should we say it's the credit of the Sawamura family having a beautiful daughter? Hahaha——"
"It's not just because she gave birth to a beautiful daughter," Zhu Yin said. "Without Sayuri's help, would Ye Jun's harem be in such good shape today? What do you think, Ye Jun?"
Bai Ye glanced sideways.
"Although my aunt has made great contributions, you are talking as if my harem was built by my aunt alone. Obviously, it was me who seduced everyone."
"Can you little guys stop showing off your affection in front of me? Have you ever heard of respecting the elderly and loving the young?"
Seeing that Tanakatang wanted to bring the topic up high and then put it down lightly, Bai Ye suddenly became reluctant.
"What rumors are you talking about?"
"If you want to know, go ask your aunt yourself. Is there any point in embarrassing an old man?"
white night"……"
Just like he said just now, if Sayuri Sawamura didn't speak up, he had no right to ask.
Tanakadou turned his gaze to Akane Benizaka, who had always been by Bai Ye's side.
"Are you the girl from the Kosaka family?"
"Yes," Akane said politely. "On behalf of the Kosaka family, I would like to send my regards to you, Mr. Tanaka."
"Zhu Yin, aren't you here just to represent yourself?" Bai Ye turned around and asked.
"It won't hurt me to say hello on behalf of the Kosaka family. If they knew I had a conversation with Mr. Tanaka, it would put less pressure on me. In the end, you'll be the one who benefits."
Seeing the conversation between the two, Tanakado realized something.
"Are you also involved with this guy?"
"Yes, I officially joined Ye Jun's harem last week. Although the process was full of twists and turns, I have gained everyone's initial recognition."
"Yes, although this guy is a playboy, his responsibility as a man is not something to worry about."
After saying that, Tanakatang left tactfully. There were some things that were not convenient for him to get involved in.
"I'm leaving now. I have to go on stage to give a speech later. It's really troublesome... kid, don't forget the promise you made."
. . . . . .
The scene fell silent for a moment, with only Tanakado's voice echoing in his ears.
Akane Benizaka thought that perhaps there was a secret that she was not comfortable hearing, so she also prepared to get up and leave.
"I'm going to go say hello to the others. Sayuri and Ye Jun, you guys can chat."
"Zhu Yin..."
She held Sayuri down and politely declined the other party's request to stay before he even opened his mouth.
"Ye Jun will temporarily lower your status. Don't let him be picked up by other girls."
Then she said to Bai Ye:
"Mr. Ye, I'm leaving now. Don't worry, I won't talk to other gentlemen. Don't get jealous~"
"I'm not that well yet." Bai Ye glanced sideways.
Akane Benizaka also left, leaving only Byakuya and Sayuri Sawamura in this remote corner.
Sayuri Sawamura understood what he wanted to ask, so she spoke first.
"Xiao Jun wants to know what the rumor is?"
"Yes, aunt."
Sayuri smoothed her pigtails and said slowly:
"Does Xiao Jun know what businesses the Sawamura family has?"
"Hmm... I remember there was a doujinshi club and a clothing industry, is that all?"
Sayuri waved her small fan and smiled:
"Mr. Xiao is already a member of the Sawamura family. Why don't you investigate what your family does?"
"I have no reason to investigate." Bai Ye said frankly, "I like Eriri, and I care about you as a person, Auntie. I don't covet the Sawamura family's property. If I have that time, I'd rather spend it with everyone else."
"That's the truth." Sayuri Sawamura pointed at the entire venue. "Don't you think about it, if the Sawamura family is only involved in doujinshi clubs and the clothing industry, would they be qualified to be invited here?"
"I understand that, but I really don't know. Please enlighten me, aunt." Bai Ye clasped his fists.
"It's medicine."
There is no need to explain how lucrative the pharmaceutical industry is.
"understood."
"No, Xiao Jun, you don't know that this is a company jointly established by the Sawamura family and the Spencer family. The Spencer family provides most of the funds, while the Sawamura family provides medical technology."
Sayuri Sawamura took a sip of her drink and continued:
"For businesses involving marriages, if the two parties don't appear together for a long time, it's easy for all kinds of rumors to arise, just like on this annual occasion like tonight."
Bai Ye understood, but was also more confused.
If it's a joint venture, both parties can't be unaware of how important it is to appear together occasionally, right?
The Sawamura family and the Spencer family are both prominent families. If they don't understand this, it would be impossible for them to reach such a high position.
"If I hadn't seen my uncle attending an event on the news last week, I would have thought he was locked up in a dark room."
A burst of silver bell-like laughter came from Sayuri Sawamura's place.
"Then why..."
Sayuri Sawamura stopped laughing, and her eyes seemed to have a power that stopped Bai Ye from saying the next words.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Spencer is very busy."
Chapter 916 Drunk Hongzaka Akane?
The topic ends here.
Afterwards, Bai Ye followed Sayuri Sawamura to meet some people, greeted them one by one and got to know them.
After meeting everyone, Bai Ye found a corner seat and got some food.
"Where's Akane?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Yin with a flushed face walking towards him, her steps a little unsteady.
Bai Ye immediately stood up to greet her, holding her shoulders and hugging her waist, his eyes widened wider than copper bells to intimidate everyone around him, as if he was walking in a dark alley with a priceless treasure in his arms, afraid that it would be snatched away by a villain.
"Drinking?"
"Uh-huh……"
Zhu Yin leaned on his shoulder, her cherry lips slightly raised, a sense of security surged in her heart, and the blush on her pretty face was even darker than the blush from drunkenness.
"Ye Jun, what do you think will happen if I yell 'molest' now?"
Bai Ye glanced sideways.
Seeing that she was still joking with a clear mind, Bai Ye understood that she was okay, at least she was not completely drunk.
"I don't know the outcome, but I can see the consequences for you."
"What is it~"
"My butt is swollen from my spanking."
Bai Ye's support is very necessary.
Some men in suits and ties who thought Zhu Yin was drunk and wanted to take the opportunity to show their courtesy were shocked when they saw Bai Ye's shocked eyes. Then, after noticing that Zhu Yin did not resist but approached Bai Ye, they left in disappointment.
On this side, Sayuri Sawamura handed water to Akane.
Bai Ye didn't blame Zhu Yin for drinking. After all, it was almost impossible not to drink in such an occasion, and even Bai Ye, who was not yet 20, was no exception, unless you were a real child.
