And people like Yeyue Zhiping, Du Chuan, Zhi Gui, Itou Babao, Zinguu Wanzao, Kawamoto Giiti, some of the more reputable people were also invited.
The one who was welcoming the guests outside was Ikegami Tingxiao.
This was simply an insult to Ikegami Tingxiao. At least, that was what Ikegami Tingxiao thought.
Just like Ikegami Youjia, Ikegami Tingxiao was also one of his many children.
was so much older than him. Even his son was older than Ikegami Youjia by seven or eight years.
However, for the same children, the treatment was vastly different.
Not only did Ikegami Youjia, whom Ikegami Masaaki doted on the most, have an extraordinary status, Ikegami Masaaki had even declared that in a hundred years time, Ikegami Youjia would inherit all of the wealth in her possession.
What sort of concept was this?
Even though every member of the family will get a share of the family business when they reach adulthood, even though some capable family members get more. For example, the boss of the pond has actually mastered the Bi-ling Heavy Industry of one of the core companies of the consortium. But no matter what, it couldn't compare to Ikegami Masaaki, the Patriarch.
After entering society, the achievements of the other clan members would depend on themselves.
As for this little girl, what was so good about her? He could actually obtain such a huge amount of wealth without any effort at all?
She was merely an old lady of Ikegami Masaaki, and she was only extremely fond of him. Could it be that she would be able to inherit all of Ikegami Masaaki's wealth just because of this?
As for himself?
Just because his "Black Hawk Plan" had failed, and not because of his own failure, his family had stripped him of all authority and turned him into an idler. It was fine if he was deprived of his power, but now he was going to be that little girl's welcome guest?
This caused Ikegami Tingxiao to not be angry.
The guest shouted out, "Tanaka Nobuo of Tian Zhong Steel Bureau has arrived!"
Ikegami Tingxiao's face was flushed but was actually sulking. His eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light. And then, he quickly walked up to welcome them.
"Heh, Tian Zhongjun, it's been a long time. Welcome!" Ikegami Tingxiao welcomed Tanaka Nobuo in with a smile.
At this time, Tanaka Nobuo was dressed in a black suit, his face was glowing red and his face was filled with smiles. The wounds he had suffered when he was defeated in China were actually not a single trace on his face.
Seeing Ikegami Tingxiao, Tanaka Nobuo was also very excited, he quickly went forward to welcome him, "Brother Ji Xiao, you missed me so much, how long has it been since we last met?"
After that, the two of them embraced each other passionately.
It seemed normal for a pair of good friends whom he hadn't seen for a long time to give him a hug. Therefore, no one paid too much attention to this seemingly normal reaction.
But just as they were giving each other a warm hug, no one noticed that Ikegami Tingxiao had whispered a question into Tanaka Nobuo's ear, "How are your preparations for that matter?"
Tanaka Nobuo's smile did not change as he replied softly, "All goes well!"
Ikegami Tingxiao's face exposed a strange smile, which quickly disappeared. Afterwards, he started a passionate discussion with Tanaka Nobuo, and laughed out loud from time to time, as if Tanaka Nobuo was really a very responsible receptionist.
However, while the two of them were passionately discussing, a pair of eyes was quietly watching them. The owner of those eyes had a thoughtful expression.
At the same time, in another corner of the manor, two people were whispering to each other.
If one looked closely, these two people were clearly Tanaka Mingtai and Honzyou Yosuke.
But he heard Tanaka Mingtai say to Honzyou Yosuke: "Master, the situation doesn't seem to be good!"
Honzyou Yosuke said worriedly: "Yes, everything was going smoothly at first, but with Zinguu Wanzao's sudden departure, it caused our confidence to waver. Ikegami Masaaki even rejected my visit the day before yesterday, which is not a good omen."
Tanaka Mingtai said: "That's right, Ikegami Masaaki definitely knew about what happened that day. So, if today, this Villa Master wishes to propose to Ikegami Family, the possibility of being rejected is rather high. "
Honzyou Yosuke said: "Yes, this is also what I am most worried about, if the marriage proposal is rejected, it would be equivalent to giving our master a slap in front of all the famous people in Japan, and we would not be able to raise our heads again in the future."
Tanaka Mingtai said: "Master, you mean …"
Honzyou Yosuke said: "In view of the current situation, my father and I have thought about it again and again, and we have decided to delay this matter for a while, until the situation improves a little."
Tanaka Mingtai said: "But according to what I know, if today's Master does not propose marriage, then there will be at least four to five families that wish to propose marriage to Ikegami Masaaki, and even Prince Bohun seems to be interested in the Miss Youjia."
"What?" Honzyou Yosuke's pupils contracted, "But that Prince Bohun is already over forty years old? "And his wangfei just passed away less than a week ago. How could he …"
Tanaka Mingtai sneered: "Hmph hmph, Master Zhuang, in front of such huge benefits, is age the problem? Furthermore, he is proposing marriage now, not coming here to get married. From proposing marriage to getting engaged to getting married again, how much process would he have to go through and how much time would he have to go through to get married?
Honzyou Yosuke could not help but stomp his feet and say, "Aiya, what should we do now?"
Tanaka Mingtai sighed: "Sigh, originally, if these things didn't happen, with my relationship with the Miss Youjia's childhood friend, the chances of my clan proposing marriage would have been higher than ninety percent. Moreover, in the face of such a relationship, even the Prince of Bohun would find it hard to move him. But now … Not even ten percent. Everyone could see how cold Ikegami Masaaki had been towards their family. However, if we miss this opportunity today, and let the other families propose to the Ikegami Family, at that time, this Villa Master might not even have a chance … "
Honzyou Yosuke's face suddenly flashed with a sinister look, "I had obviously suppressed all of the other families who might have proposed to me, why is this happening now? Brother Mingtai, who was the one who told me that they were going to propose marriage? "I want to …"
Saying that, Honzyou Yosuke made a cutting motion with his hand.
Tanaka Mingtai sighed: "Don't tell me this Villa Master thinks that it's useful? Originally, the suppression from this Manor Lord might have had some effect. Because at that time, Profound Martial Society was flourishing, and no one dared to underestimate our clan. However, Zinguu Wanzao's departure and the attack on Profound Martial Society headquarters had too great of an impact on our clan. The power of our Profound Martial Society wasn't as strong as it was before, and the families that were suppressed by you before began to stir. Furthermore, even if those clans did not move, just Prince Bohun himself, how could you possibly suppress him? Could it be that you can actually make a move against His Highness, the Prince of Bohun? "
Tanaka Mingtai's words had undoubtedly hit Honzyou Yosuke hard to swallow. He said with a sullen face: "This … Now... What should he do? Does Brother Ming Tai have any good methods? You must help me at this time! "
Tanaka Mingtai's face revealed a trace of an imperceptible smile, and said: "I have to say, how do you do it... "It's not that there's none, it's just that …"
Honzyou Yosuke acted like he was a person who had suddenly grabbed onto life saving straw of grass. Hearing Tanaka Mingtai's words, he immediately grabbed onto both of Tanaka Mingtai's arms. Brother Ming, quickly tell me! "
Tanaka Mingtai said: "There is one way, let's see if I dare to or not."
Honzyou Yosuke hurriedly said, "For the sake of being worried for the sake of the best, I dare to do anything.
Tanaka Mingtai suddenly laughed, and asked instead of answering: "Miss Youjia is now... It should still be a virgin, right? "
When his words came out, it was as if Honzyou Yosuke had suddenly been stung by a scorpion. He immediately jumped, "Hard … Don't tell me you want me to worry about you... No, no! In that case, he would never forgive me! And if we really do that, our own clan and Ikegami Family will have a deep and irreconcilable hatred, which is impossible! "
Tanaka Mingtai looked at Honzyou Yosuke very seriously, as if he was looking at an alien. Then, Tanaka Mingtai suddenly "hehe" laughed, "But what if Miss Youjia took the initiative to throw himself into your arms? You two were secretly betrothed to each other, and you were willing to do it. If that's the case, even that old fellow Ikegami Masaaki won't be able to say anything, right? He dotes so much on this daughter of his, I don't believe that he can do such a thing. Furthermore, the Miss Youjia had already lost his virginity to you, so who else could Ikegami Masaaki marry? Which family can accept her? "
Honzyou Yosuke laughed bitterly: "It's not like you don't know, Brother Ming, it's not like she's always been pure and honest. Don't even mention doing those kinds of things, in the past ten years since we've known each other, our closest relationship has only stopped at the hugging stage. And it's because we won the match with baseball, not because we hugged each other due to the relationship between males and females, how is that possible?"
Tanaka Mingtai smiled mysteriously, "Under normal circumstances, that is naturally impossible. But what if you use a little trick?"
After Honzyou Yosuke heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and said: "Could it be that you want me to use knockout drugs on you? "We can't do that either. Even if we succeeded, we would still …"
Tanaka Mingtai laughed: "What is Honorable Master thinking? Why would I suggest that you use a despicable method like knockout drugs? I am not unaware of the consequences of this. "
This time, Honzyou Yosuke did not understand, "Then what does brother Ming want me to do?"
Tanaka Mingtai's eyes flickered, "What I mean is, if we can use a little method to make the Miss Youjia completely and completely love you, you must marry him, so what can you do, even if it's that old man Ikegami Masaaki?"
"Ah?!" Honzyou Yosuke simply could not differentiate whether his "ah" was more disbelieving or more excited, "Could it be that there is such a method?"
Tanaka Mingtai smiled slightly, "Of course there is, it just depends on whether or not I, this Villa Master, is willing to use it."
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!" Honzyou Yosuke quickly asked: "Just what method is this?"
Tanaka Mingtai smiled mysteriously and finally said three words: "Puppet Technique!"
"Puppet Technique?" Hearing these three words, Honzyou Yosuke instantly froze. It seems that he has some understanding of the Puppet Technique.
Tanaka Mingtai said: "That's right, the Puppet Technique! Anyone who is struck by this Puppet Technique will become your puppet and completely obey you. No matter what you want her to do, she will not resist.
Honzyou Yosuke laughed bitterly: "But … "In that case, is it better to be worried?"
Tanaka Mingtai emphasized his tone and said: "But if it's not like this, of course you're still worried, but is your worry still?"
Honzyou Yosuke did not speak anymore, his face turning red and then white, it was obvious that he was struggling internally.
After a long while, Honzyou Yosuke gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his head, "Brother Ming, please tell me, what should I do? that Puppet Technique? "
Tanaka Mingtai's face finally revealed a proud smile …
Ikegami Family's banquet was a bit similar to the banquets of the aristocrats. After entering, the guests were free to communicate with others, so the guests were currently gathered in groups of twos and threes and chatting. The content of the chat was nothing more than which celebrity had gone to their bed, and how much money he had earned by investing in a certain area.
Very few people talked about the main host of the banquet, Ikegami Youjia.
In fact, this was no surprise, it was like a person being invited to someone else's wedding banquet, and if he was forced to come out on account of some relationship, then if he had nothing else to do and had to do, then he would go, and if he found out that there were a lot of acquaintances there, then he would naturally communicate with them, and as to who was married, and whether the bride was pretty or not, these things were not the most important.
In this case, the function of the wedding banquet is simply to provide a platform for communication.
Right now, Ikegami Youjia's birthday banquet, or even her coming of age ceremony, was also only in this situation.
After all, there weren't many people who had plans to propose. The vast majority of them had just received an invitation and were too embarrassed to come. Since they had nothing to do, they could only chat with people they were familiar with.
Tanaka Nobuo seemed to be in the same situation. He was clearly an expert in social communication. No matter where he went, he would be able to find people to chat with. No matter who he chatted with, he would be able to find common ground. Such a person was naturally extremely popular.
