Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

  Chapter 39 The Secret Heart

  While waiting at home for Onodera Runa to come back, Tao Zhiming went back to work in his room.

   The main thing is that today's harvest is very big, and we have to sort out the rhythm.

   Before talking to Mogami Hangsan's Kinoshita Hidekaze, he wasn't sure about such a windfall.

   Now, we can expect to have a start-up capital of 250 million yen, so we should adjust the plan slightly.

   This amount of money is quite a lot, and it is nearly 2 million yuan in rice.

   It’s still not enough to watch, but after all… You shouldn’t spend all your time attending the club’s briefing, right?

  According to Tao Zhiming's original estimate, I am afraid that the money obtained from the house loan will be required to buy a house and re-mortgage at least two rounds to have liquidity of this magnitude.

   That must be after May or June.

   Now, since you can hold a lot of money, you can consider buying some real estate before the interest rate cut in March and April. When the two rounds of interest rate cuts are completed, the banks are in a hurry. Coupled with the rise in housing prices, more funds can be obtained.

   Just like this, how can the promise to Inoue Ryu be fulfilled...

  Tao Zhiming was thinking seriously in the room, and sure enough, he still had to go to the tour briefing of the club.

   Its value is not only in the mere bonus, but in some people you may know and some resources you can leverage.

  Mogami Hengchan was the object he deliberately chose, wouldn't this bring about changes?

  Thinking of this, he clarified his thoughts and continued to sort it out with Tao Dalang's original blank notebook.

   After a busy day, he opened the bedroom door and went out, only to see that Onodera Rana had returned.

   "Why didn't you call me?" Tao Zhiming moved his neck, without any restraint to maintain his image in front of her.

   Onodera Runa hurriedly said, "Mizi Jiang said that Tao Jun was in the room, thinking you were sleeping and resting..."

"...Don't live your life like this, I didn't hear you when you came back." Tao Zhiming reminded her with a half-smiling smile, and shouted to Mizi in a grandiose tone, "Mizi-chan, get ready and go eat. It's a big meal!"

   "Yeah!" Inoue Yako seemed to be looking forward to it for a long time, "Mom, what should I wear when I go out?"

   Onodera Rana smiled and held her, and went into the room to change clothes.

  Tao Zhiming went to the bathroom to wash his face, looked up and saw that some cosmetics used by Runa Onodera were already on the shelf next to him.

   He didn't know much about the neon brand at this time, but after looking at the level of logo design and packaging, it was probably like that.

   wiped his face, he smiled relaxedly in front of the mirror, turned around and shouted: "Go!"

  …

   For Rana Onodera, it has been a long time since I felt this way.

   Sitting opposite Tao Jun, listening to him constantly saying interesting things and chatting happily with Mizi, but he couldn't keep seeing his demeanor.

   However, I had this feeling before, before my husband passed away.

   She is a little strange, why is Tao Jun, who was very imposing when talking with the president, why he can talk to Mizi about the content of the animation with Mizi like a child who loves to play.

   Gundam, Arale, young football players, etc... It's really hard to connect these topics with the Tao Jun in her current impression.

   "...So, do you want to watch "Saint Seiya"? Some classmates said it looks good, did it just come out? Wait and buy it!"

   "Good!" Miko Inoue was overjoyed.

  Tao Zhiming also looked a little excited: "Sounds great, does Saint Cloth? It feels so cool..."

   Onodera Rana couldn't help but looked up at him, Tao Jun's excited voice was not fake, and the expression on his face was also looking forward.

  I really don’t understand…

   "Runa, you go get your hair done first, and Mizi and I will go to the bookstore!" Tao Zhiming saw that he had almost eaten, and asked for a small dessert, and let Mizi eat while walking.

   Onodera Runa carried her bag and walked behind the two of them, finally being able to look at the backs of Tao Jun and Mizi in front of them with confidence and boldness.

   I suddenly felt that if I could keep doing this, I would be fine...

   Tao Zhiming saw a very stylish barber shop, so he turned around and said, "Just here, it looks good."

   Onodera Runa avoided his eyes and looked at the store, hesitantly asked: "Is it here? It will be expensive..."

   "A place like this, you need to come often in the future!"

   "…I see." She remembered that it was part of the job.

   But, is it part of the job to bring yourself and Mizi out to dinner?

   "Don't be afraid to spend money! What I want is the effect. Miko-chan, when I see my mother, if I think my hair is ugly, I won't buy the new "Saint Seiya" next time!"

  Yako Inoue raised her head nervously to look at Rana Onodera: "Mom! You must do it!"

   Onodera Rana couldn't help laughing, so she could only bow and walk in.

   turned his head and saw that Tao Jun had already taken Mizi to a bookstore across the street.

   "Welcome!" The staff in the store said with a smile on their face and bowed, "Would you like to trim your hair, or simply do a treatment?"

   Onodera Rana remembered the 300,000 yen given by Tao Jun, and put away her guilty conscience.

   For a moment, he seemed to have found the state he was in when he was newly married, and said with some expectations: "Please help design a fashionable and elegant hairstyle, please!"

  …

  It took nearly two hours, when Onodera Rana opened her eyes, she saw Tao Jun and Mizi smiling in the mirror.

When    met his eyes, Rana Onodera couldn't help feeling shy, her face was a little red, her eyes and eyelashes flashed together: "How... how?"

   "Miko-chan, what do you think?" Tao Zhiming asked with a smile, Miko Inoue, who was holding the "Shonen Weekly JUMP" that published the original content of "Saint Seiya".

   "Mom!" Mizi exclaimed with her mouth open, "become a beauty!"

   "What nonsense!" Onodera Runa was a little ashamed, and she wanted to know if this was what Tao Zhiming said.

   "Very good start." Tao Zhiming certainly encouraged.

   What's more, now, the hair has been straightened, bangs and hairstyle styles have also become popular, and Rana Onodera has added a bit of youthfulness.

   After arriving at the clothing store with a new hairstyle, every time Rana Onodera tried on a fashion and stood in front of Tao Zhiming and turned it around to show him the effect, the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.

  This...is it really work?

   However, seeing the appreciation in Tao Jun's eyes, she couldn't help but secretly overjoyed and quickened her heartbeat.

   Mingming Mizi-chan was still watching, but she couldn't help but think: This seems like...the feeling of being in love at the beginning.

   In the end, when Tao Jun helped her carry several large bags and walked on the road with Mizijiang's hand, she finally had a clear expectation in her heart.

  If I could be with Tao Jun…

   But when Tao Zhiming stopped at the entrance of a cosmetics store, she immediately heard him say: "For future work, your skin also needs attention. Let's go, choose a suitable set of cosmetics."

   Onodera Rana looked up at this well-known big brand, a set of cosmetics... Once again, it was a thought that would press down when I thought of it.

   The little girls in the store are young and beautiful, and their eyes are glowing when they look at Tao Jun's handsome face.

   Onodera Rana pressed down the thoughts that had just grown.

  Runa, keep in mind that this is just a need for work.
