National Tide 1980

On the way back, we passed through Cairo.

Compared to those modern cities in Europe, Deputy Director Kaga admires ancient culture and sense of history more, and it was only when he came here that he regained his energy.

He likes to wander through small shops full of history and culture and collect things with special cultural imprints.

However, the scenery of Egypt seemed to have no charm for Mrs. Keiko. First of all, there was nothing to buy.

As for sightseeing, there are only the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Thirty minutes is enough to see those things.

However, despite this, the travel expenses and pocket money spent abroad are all borne by the public funds of TBS TV station.

Losing money at the casino is no exception.

This kind of official trip is generally very happy for the couple with a huge age gap.

When an older husband accompanies his young wife, playing around or attending cocktail parties and banquets, he looks particularly happy.

His wife likes to show her charming charm in public, and Shinichiro Kaga looks at her like a little girl and feels very satisfied.

Especially the last trip to Seoul, South Korea, made the two of them unable to leave.

Due to work relationships, Deputy Director Kaga also made some very capable friends in South Korea. They were from the chaebol system and they held a reception for him in the most exclusive club.

At this time, in South Korea, the major chaebols had recovered their vitality under the notice of Quan Douhuan, and they all belonged to the privileged class organizations, which greatly satisfied the vanity and hobbies of the directors' wives.

She was very excited by the elegant atmosphere and the exceptional reception.

Needless to say, for Isako, such a trip not only allows her to travel to a foreign country to open her eyes, but also enjoys the courtesy and honor she receives in social situations as the wife of a station manager. This is naturally better than being a housewife at home. Much stronger.

So every time after returning home, Isako would always say to Director Kaga when she was satisfied with her play time, "It's so nice. Please take me with you to attend an international conference next time!" Then she would take more care of Director Kaga. Got interested.

Of course, Director Kaga was pleased with his wife's liveliness, liveliness, and ease of satisfaction, and felt that she would be able to enjoy her life to the fullest in her remaining years.

Generally speaking, in the past few days, although the conflicts between the couple mainly focused on the jealousy between Isako and Kaga's ex-wife, they were generally controllable.

Even if there is a quarrel, Shinichiro Kaga always has enough means to coax his wife to change her mind and become compliant.

Moreover, the two daughters do not often come to ask for money. If Deputy Director Kaga occasionally favors Isako and gives her more benefits in private, it will promote the harmonious relationship between the couple.

However, everything eventually got out of control when Isako opened a beauty salon.

When the couple were both pleasantly surprised by the profits from the side business of the beauty salon, Kaga Shinichiro also made an unexpected discovery.

For a wife who is financially independent and regards the beauty salon as a personal career, the majestic body of the head of the family not only loses its luster, but also seems to have lost all means of controlling his wife at the same time.

First of all, there is a lot of money in the beauty salon's account for her to freely use.

The wife no longer has to look at Kaga's face and can spend money as she pleases.

In just these few days, Isako not only bought a luxurious imported car, but also purchased a lot of clothing and jewelry. She even remodeled the rooms at home and built a garage.

But Shinichiro Kaga couldn't blame his wife for spending money recklessly.

Because once he expresses this intention, his wife can refute it with business needs.

"Ah, what are you talking about? Now I am the president of a high-end beauty salon. How can I not have these things? Otherwise, let alone soliciting business, I will probably be laughed at by customers. Not to mention that our customers are not They are not ordinary people, they are all respectable and distinguished people. If I didn’t have these things, do you think the customers would still have confidence in our store and come to the store with confidence, as well as those celebrities, singers and hosts? , everyone knows who I am. If I, the station manager’s wife, dress too shabbily when I go out, wouldn’t I be the one who disgraces my husband? My dear dad, don’t you think so?”

In just a few words, he could stop Kaga Shinichiro's words with high-sounding reasons.

Secondly, the beauty salon's business is getting better and better, and it is making more and more money, which will inevitably take up more and more of Isako's time.

Gradually, the focus of her life has shifted. She has become more and more interested in taking care of business and business entertainment, and does not care about housework.

Shinichiro Kaga expressed his dissatisfaction with his wife for neglecting household chores. He believed that the beauty salon only had a professional manager to take care of it, and his wife did not need to run there every day, leaving him unable to even eat his favorite chowder.

But the result was still refuted by Isako in an understatement.

"No, no, you can't completely trust others. The manager is very capable, but he might change his mind at any time. I'm not saying that the manager is bad, but people are emotional animals, and there might be conflicts over something. . If we rely too much on outsiders and hand over the store to outsiders, we will be in a passive position, not to mention whether the manager will make some small moves behind the scenes, or whether he will always ask for higher treatment. It's not good that he caused some trouble in the tax affairs without telling us. If the tax bureau is responsible for it, I will be fined a large sum of money, and I will have to bear the criminal penalty, but you won't be able to regret it. Chang told me that companies’ tax evasion cases often appear in newspapers. Are they reported to the tax bureau by someone inside? In short, if you don’t do it, you won’t do it. , Then you have to take control of everything in the store so that you can rest assured. As for life, how about we hire a servant, and you don’t have to worry about this expense, I will take care of it. "

When she said these words, she looked like a real strong business woman, and her proud experience shone brightly on her facial expressions.

Even though Shinichiro Kaga was full of resentment towards his wife, he really couldn't find any legitimate reason to persuade her to return to the role of being content with family matters.

Even Isako was able to draw inferences from one instance, but complained and complained about her conscientious busyness.

"How do you know how busy I am every day? The customers in the store are all high-level, and who is easy to serve? Besides, as soon as the store became famous, even the wives of some big shots came to visit. Me and If they get along well and establish a relationship, it will also help dad's career, won't it? "

Precisely because the couple discussed this type of topic a lot, Director Kaga gradually became more and more unsure, because he never had the upper hand.

sᴛᴏ𝟻𝟻.ᴄᴏᴍ

And this further leads to a more serious problem, which is that the family status of the couple is gradually reversed without realizing it.

The originally soft and submissive Isako disappeared and transformed into a capable business strongman, whose strong and stubborn temperament became more and more obvious.

Sometimes, she even clearly puts herself in a high position, commenting condescendingly on life and everything around her with an air of indifference.

This is what Kaga Shinichiro cannot tolerate the most. His originally stable family status has been despised.

For example, recently, in order to temporarily eliminate his wife's dissatisfaction and ease the relationship between the couple, Kaga Shinichiro once proposed to attend Ning Weimin's wedding and the couple go to Hawaii for a vacation together.

Because the individual is responsible for the travel expenses, the distance to Hawaii is short, the travel expenses can be saved, and the stay can be shorter. It is actually a very cost-effective plan.

However, this travel plan, which must have aroused Isako's interest in the past, failed to have the desired effect.

Isako's reaction was quite cold, and she actually said without interest that she didn't have time to travel with her husband and had more important business arrangements to make.

Not to mention this, Isako actually complained in a contemptuous tone, saying, "When we get to Hawaii, it would be a pity not to go to Los Angeles. And since we have arrived in the United States, we have to go to New York in the east. Hawaii is just a stopover on the way to the United States. After all, we've been there several times, and it's really not interesting. It would be a waste to make a special trip there at our own expense. Husband, I don't have as much time as you do, and I'm very busy every day. Yes, if I have that time, I might as well do more promotional activities for the beauty salon. In my opinion, if you are just idle and miserable, you might as well try to get along with the directors of the TV station and think about how to take a step forward. It’s time to make some preparations for the director’s retirement. What does it mean to be just a deputy director when you retire? The name alone seems impressive, but the salary is only equivalent to that of a director in a bank, so isn’t it just a full-time job at best? ? Can't you get into a better position? I have always thought that you have the best chance of taking over the position of station director and becoming the top manager of the TV station. Who knows that you unexpectedly have no ambitions in your life now? That's enough. I'm really disappointed..."

This was such a big basin of cold water, which completely cooled Kaga Shinichiro from head to toe.

Originally, he wanted to take his wife to travel overseas with good intentions, but he did not expect to be ridiculed like this.

Especially with his work and position, his wife, who used to look up to him, became dissatisfied. This made Shinichiro Kaga feel particularly embarrassed. It was really embarrassing.

He also has a relatively strong self-esteem. After all, he is one of the top ten people in Taiwan. When has he ever received such a cold reception?

What's more, couples like them are not a real couple and lack real trust in each other. The elderly husband is gradually unable to fulfill various obligations as a husband when facing a wife who is 31 years younger than him.

He is even more nervous and is particularly concerned about whether he can maintain his dignity in front of his wife.

So Shinichiro Kaga really feels regretful now, and he is also full of resentment.

If he had known earlier that his wife would be like this after having a beauty salon, he would never have agreed to make such a deal with Ning Weimin.

So after much thought, Kagami Shinichiro decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Ning Weimin after his wedding.

The purpose is to change everything now and curb this abnormal trend in his family life.

Since everything was caused by Ning Weimin's transaction, Kaga Shinichiro believes that Ning Weimin also has the responsibility and obligation to correct the chaos and help him restore his life to its original state.

Otherwise, he doesn't mind taking his anger out on others and terminating the subsequent cooperation agreed with Ning Weimin.

And this is the condition for him to agree to continue the cooperation. The unexpected development of the matter has forced him to this point. It has nothing to do with money.

Although some things are inconvenient for him to do, it is different if Ning Weimin does it.

However, if this really happens, how can Isako be willing?

In fact, what Kaga Shinichiro doesn't know is that his wife Isako attaches more importance to tomorrow's wedding than he does.

Quite expensive gifts have been prepared for the newlyweds.

And these gifts are of course not given for free. Isako still has some requirements-she plans to take advantage of the popularity and hopes to let the stylists in her beauty salon participate in the character hair design work of the movie "Crazy Rich Asians".

She knew that Matsumoto Keiko's Mist Studio announced that it would invest 2 billion yen to shoot a movie for Teresa Teng. She also learned from Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin that the filming plan for this movie was very grand, with a large number of stars, cooperation between the two countries again, and even Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan would join in.

Considering the box office and influence of the movie "Li Xianglan" and the fact that the filming plan of "Crazy Rich Asians" has attracted great attention among Japanese fans as soon as it was released.

Isako shrewdly realized that if Matsumoto Keiko took over Mist Studio and the second movie she shot would be as successful as "Li Xianglan", then her beauty salon and her stylists would become very famous.

Moreover, a singing queen like Teresa has to participate in performances frequently, change her clothes frequently when she goes on stage at a solo concert, and change her hairstyle frequently, and broadcast it on TV. How many people will watch it!

If she can really gain her favor and trust completely, it would be the best, and the beauty salon will have a bright future.

The stylist who does her hair must also attract attention. This is easier to create a superman reputation than any star going to her beauty salon in real life.

In a trance, the ambitious Isako has seen her beauty salon flourishing and becoming the first in Tokyo... no, the first beauty salon in Japan.

This shrewd calculation made her excited and excited.

For this purpose, Isako racked her brains.

She was convinced that the beauty salon was her only hope after tasting financial independence for the first time. If Kaga Shinichiro died.

As long as she could own this beauty salon, she would have a bright future.

It must be said that Ning Weimin was tying himself up in knots.

When he decided to start with this couple for the sake of Teresa Teng's award, he never thought that he would be involved in such a family dispute and marital conflict.

But this old man and young wife both regarded him as a life-saving straw, and no one was willing to let him go.

As for how he should choose and how to balance it, it is really a complicated problem.
