[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

The Business Alliance Club is a large private clubhouse located in Tokyo Bay, which is specially used for members of the alliance to have casual dinners and hold large-scale business banquets.The alliance banquet this summer was also held in the large banquet hall of the guild hall. Since this time it was the disclosure banquet held by the Akashi family, the leader of the alliance, for the future owner, it was more grand than ever in terms of the ostentation of the banquet and the number of guests invited.

This is one of the life lessons every Akashi family head has to go through.As the heir of a big family, if you don't get in touch with family connections early, it will be more difficult to adapt to the work of your parents when you grow up.Some people may think that this is cruel to a child who is still in high school, but this is the fate of the heir. The training he has received since childhood is all for the purpose of continuing the family development in the future.

On the afternoon of the banquet day, Akashi had been learning to arrange the banquet affairs with his father. After the guests came in, he would go with his father to meet the company's regular customers and family friends, and he was busy for two hours.To say that the earliest guests in the audience were the father and daughter of the Maekawa family.

In order to participate in the banquet tonight, Maekawa Akiko dressed up meticulously and put on the white tube top dress that the Akashi family had ordered. The skirt design with short front and long back is the highlight of the dress. With the embellishment, it is more like a small wedding dress, which obviously makes outsiders think that she is the fiancee of the next head of the Akashi family.

Her attire and her act of actively entertaining guests successfully misled the guests who entered the venue. Everyone thought that the daughter of the Maekawa family was Akashi Shunji's default daughter-in-law. Some even came forward to congratulate her, which made her blush from time to time. , Seeing this, Lina, who witnessed everything from a distance, almost threw the glass on the spot in anger. It's fine for the old fox's daughter to snatch the skirt. She seems to want to take the title of fiancee as her own, if her father was not there to stop her , she had long wanted to go forward to chase people away.

"Calm down, Reina, now is not the time to play." Akashi Shunji called his niece and advised her not to act impulsively.

"Uncle, if this continues, aren't you afraid that the misunderstanding will get worse?" Li Nai didn't understand why her uncle was still so calm. Once the misunderstanding was generated, how would he explain it when Hashimoto's family arrived at the venue?

Reina was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but Akashi, like his father, was not angry at the behavior of Maekawa and his daughter. He just said in a flat tone: "The greater the misunderstanding, the stronger our counterattack will be. Some people will fight for themselves. pay for their stupidity."

Hearing her cousin's answer, Lina looked at the special transparent small platform in the center of the venue, on which there was a bouquet of natural blue roses. Ji looked extraordinarily dazzling, firmly attracting the attention of the young female guests, and everyone couldn't help guessing among themselves who the bouquet of flowers was for.

"Infrared alarm and bodyguards, Seijuro, are you exaggerating? It's just a bunch of flowers."

In the eyes of outsiders, the bouquet of flowers may not be important, but to Akashi, it is of great significance. He said that he would give Saya exclusive privileges, and he would never violate his promise. Faced with Reina's doubts, he gave Give your own answer.

"No one can change my decision today. I have already said before the banquet that I will never allow similar things to happen again, let alone allow others to mess with Saya's things, so those security measures are necessary."

Cold without a trace of tenderness, the sense of coercion in the tone made it impossible to resist. Looking at the serious cousin in front of her, Reina immediately swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and did not dare to ask any more questions.

Cousin Akashi was discussing the security of the bouquet, but the small platform immediately verified the importance of security. Some people ignored the presence of the bodyguards and triggered an infrared alarm, which made the system play sweet romantic music.

"Please step back, lady, and don't get close to the infrared alarm range." The black-clothed bodyguard in charge of guarding the bouquet invited the female guest who triggered the warning out of the platform.

"Wait a minute, how did you guys work as guards? Don't you know who she is? She is the only daughter of President Maekawa, and the fiancée of the next head of the Akashi family. Why can't even she get close to the bouquet of flowers?"

There will never be a lack of grass on the wall at the banquet, and Kana Ando is one of them.

Her father is currying favor with the Maekawa family, and she is also trying to be good friends with the Maekawa family's daughter, who knows that the scene of her arguing for Akiko and the bodyguard has already fallen into the eyes of others.For the Akashi family, it is really an added bonus that a small alarm system can accidentally lead to abnormalities related to the Maekawa family.

"Sorry, miss, Master Zheng has an order, no one but him can touch that bouquet of flowers, please forgive me." The black-clothed bodyguard was unmoved and still followed the employer's order.

"Forget it, Kana, don't embarrass them. Since it was Seijuro's arrangement, there must be his reasons. It's okay if I wait a little longer." In fact, Akiko couldn't swallow this breath more than Kana, and she used to be flattered by others. She has never been underestimated by others, and now that the Akashi family has resorted to this trick, she can only suppress her anger, try her best to maintain a gentle and generous mask, use advance as retreat, and keep the guests' good impression of her.

"Miss Akiko, you are so easy to talk, the bouquet belongs to you, why should you be driven away."

"Because they know that the bouquet of flowers has another owner, so for the sake of the family's reputation, it's better to be a little quieter, are you right, Ms. Maekawa?"

Similarly, there is no shortage of familiar faces in the venue. The only daughter of the Kuroki family, Kuroki Yoko, was invited to the banquet. Since the last tea party, she can only contact Saya through emails. When she met acquaintances, she would never follow her father.Now, by chance, she saw someone from the Qianchuan family acting in a play, so she stepped in maliciously, leaving the masked Miss Qianchuan speechless.

"You're right, Ms. Kuroki, we're overstepping the rules, let's go, Kana, let's help entertain the guests." Leaving Kuroki Yoko a warning look, Akiko took Kana away from the small platform and turned towards Go to the door of the venue.

Not paying attention to Akiko's threats, Yoko watched them leave, and the doubts she had when she first came to the venue were answered. Akiko was completely different in front of the guests. A virtuous lady, she is very similar to Saya in both her manner of doing things and her tone of voice. Is this the so-called Barbie who has no life?It's really sad.

Of course, very few people in the venue noticed the change in Akiko. Most of the guests who knew the Maekawa father and daughter thought that Akiko was much more sensible and no longer played around with the young lady's temper.And the misleading effect caused by her continued to escalate. At the beginning, the guests thought that the news in the newspaper was pure rumors, but now they saw it with their own eyes, and found that the paparazzi can sometimes dig up real bad news. Tonight’s alliance banquet is hosted by the Akashi family and the Maekawa family. The marriage disclosure meeting, and they are witnesses.

As more and more guests were present, the misunderstood Akiko not only got the attention of the guests, but also became the focus of the young male guests in the venue. Some even came forward to send flowers and invite them, or directly took their parents to meet Maekawa The president negotiates the marriage.The Maekawa family was so noisy that the hosts of the entire banquet became transparent people. This is something that many members of the Akashi family can't bear. They came to the head of the family to argue, hoping that the head of the house could make the Maekawa family restrain themselves, but they got Same answer.

"Proper investment yields high returns, I'm waiting for interesting results."

Akashi Shunji's words successfully persuaded the tribe to continue to remain silent. The patriarch has his own plan, and the only thing the tribe can do is to cooperate to the end. They believe that in the eyes of Akashi Shunji, they will never let the vase daughter of a potential enemy enter Akashi Home.

But before that, another problem existed at the same time as Akiko, and that was the food provided by the venue. Before the banquet was officially held, the venue usually provided some self-service pre-dinner snacks or drinks, and Akashi Shunji’s worries also started from here .

Some guests ate part of the snacks and side dishes, and did not say whether the food was good or bad on the spot. They only talked about the recent economic downturn in the chat, and even the important banquets of famous families have to drastically cut expenses, and they expect the next few years. The economy has improved.

The voices of the guests chatting quickly reached Akashi's ears. He came to the rectangular buffet table where refreshments were placed, and picked up the caviar, which was very popular in the past, but is now neglected.

Usually it is an obvious mistake to treat it as a pre-dinner snack. The Maekawa’s hastily arranged it is clearly to explain to the guests that there is something wrong with the food, especially for those who eat caviar, they can tell the grade of caviar without tasting it. The quality of caviar in Maekawa's family is obviously shoddy, and even the utensils in which they are placed are casual. It can be seen that this is intentionally adding chaos to the Akashi family and creating talk for the guests.

"Master, the opening situation doesn't seem to be going well. Should we ask President Hashimoto for help in advance?" Seeing that the problem of dishes is about to become the focus of discussion among the guests, Masao Nakamura is worried that things will get worse if they continue.

"Stay a little longer, I can't bother uncle before the scheduled time." There are only 10 minutes left before the banquet time, and Akashi waits for that figure to appear at the entrance of the venue. Hashimoto Nobuhito once told him that on the day of the banquet Let him see the real snake beauty, three days, how will she change?

"I just received a call from Hashimoto's house, saying that the old president of Hashimoto will arrive in 5 minutes, and the staff replacement in the kitchen has been completed, so there is no need to worry about the meal situation for the time being." Masao Nakamura received Tell Akashi the good news, and ask him, "Master, should we make preparations?"

"Release the security measures for the bouquet, I'm going to pick up tonight's heroine, she is my real fiancee."

The arrival of the Hashimoto family means that the situation caused by the Maekawa family will change. The Akashi family will start to fight back according to the original plan, and the snake beauty of the Hashimoto family and Miss Canary of the Maekawa family will meet again. Who will be the last? winner?
