Chapter 346: The Executive's Cream Cake 3
Beauty and romance never die, Dublin lives forever.
Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when Ryukawa Toru and his companions boarded the plane from Marseille International Airport and arrived in the Irish capital.
The direct flight takes an hour and a half. Being located in the European continent, the two countries are not far from each other.
"Go back to the hotel and rest for a while. I'll take you to the party in the evening."
The River Liffey runs through the city, adding a touch of gentleness to Dublin. Sitting in the car on the way to the hotel, Takeda Maki said to Ryukawa Toru.
The wife was feeling a little dozed off and rested her head on Longchuan Che's shoulder.
Takeda Maki sat in the front passenger seat and told Ryukawa Toru about the plans for tonight.
Frank, the short story writer, has an invitation to join the author on a trip to Dublin.
This international literary award has many participants, and there is a party hosted by the organizers tonight.
"Isn't this a bit too much trouble?"
Longchuan Che held up his face and put on a well-fitting suit. He originally thought that the woman asked him to wear a suit in such hot weather as a deliberate revenge, but it turned out that she had a formal event to attend tonight.
“Do you think writers only need to write books?”
The car is Renault Espace, a very classic business car. Takeda Shinki is applying lip gloss in front of the sun visor.
Women who used to not like to wear makeup seem to be interested in cosmetics recently.
Longchuan Che watched her paint her lips until they were pink and translucent.
“Social interaction is also very important.”
Intellectuals have a very high status, and gatherings are also a form of resource exchange.
"correct."
After arranging a task for Ryukawa Toru to attend a party together in the evening, Takeda Maki frowned and looked at her sister again.
The woman is quite lazy and becomes a little sleepy in the summer.
Wearing a purple V-neck thin shirt, she leaned on Longchuan Tetsu.
"You do act a bit like a mother. Xiao Qian is going to Ireland tonight, so remember to pick her up in the evening."
The University of Tokyo offers a European study tour, and the first stop is Ireland.
When Ryukawa Toru heard that Takeda Akane was coming, he hissed with a headache.
"What's wrong with you?"
The wife rubbed her head. Her daughter was coming and she couldn't be too close to Longchuan Tetsu.
The woman who had just woken up was lazy and quite charming. Long Chuan Che had no time to appreciate her. Instead, he frowned and said:
"Do you think Takeda Akane's personality is a bit weird?"
Takeda Akane seems to be a very well-behaved person to outsiders, but she has a very bad temper in private.
During the more than ten years in Yamanakako, his wife had mostly acted domineering, but Takeda Akane loved to bully him in various ways.
"Really? No way, Xiao Qian has always been very well behaved, don't say anything nonsense."
The wife felt guilty when she talked about the past.
Kujo Nishiko betrayed the Takeda family, so of course she was not very nice to Ryukawa Toru in the past.
"I'm not bringing up the past, what are you afraid of?"
The lady's eyes were evasive and a little sneaky, and Longchuan Che sneered twice and talked about some things in the past.
"You said she asked you to go to work and hand in the money, and you accidentally entered her room and she beat you?"
Mrs. Takeda's face was full of implausibility. My adopted daughter would never have such an expression.
"I just asked Xiao Qian to keep her distance from you. I didn't ask her to bully you." Takeda Akane has always been an well-behaved and sensible person in Mrs. Takeda's eyes. The woman has never thought of letting the younger generation know about the grievances of the previous generation.
The wife gritted her teeth, feeling that Longchuan Che was lying to her.
"If you don't believe me, throw me down!"
The lady didn't believe it, Longchuan Che snorted, and he would find a chance to deal with this evil woman Takeda Akane sooner or later.
"If a child is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. I must also fulfill my duty in her education!"
Ryukawa Toru shamelessly called himself Takeda Akane's father, and his wife was so ashamed and angry that she beat him up.
The two were joking around and didn't take the matter seriously. Only Takeda Shinki was looking at them through the rearview mirror, looking thoughtful.
Dublin in the twilight was like an overturned whiskey barrel, and the cobblestone streets were soaked in amber lights. Ryukawa Toru went out at three o'clock in the evening and went to a bar beside the River Liffey with Takeda Maki.
"Do Europeans like bars so much? The literary salon is also in the bar? Can I give a speech later?"
Takeda Shinki dressed Ryukawa Toru like a proper old gentleman, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a blue haute couture suit.
"Please stop telling that corny Nazi joke, honey."
Takeda Maki looked at Ryukawa Toru with a bit of helplessness. Should she say that he still had the mentality of a child? When he arrived in Europe, Ryukawa Toru kept mentioning the Nazi Party leader.
"The mind can indulge in an ink bottle, just like being placed under the vast starry sky. Anything can enter eternity through writing."
“The significance of writing is to record history. We should not be afraid of it, but face it squarely.”
War and fire once swept across this European continent. This may be a topic that many people do not want to recall, but Ryukawa Tetsu said that he was just using history to warn the present.
A loaf of bread cost 500,000 marks. The economic turmoil and the collapse of social structure were the initial causes of the war in this land.
"I don't care about that, great writer."
Longchuan Che is a man with a silver tongue, and the executive officer has already experienced it.
Walking along the cobblestone streets, the charm of ancient Europe flowed through their ears.
"Eastern authors are not very popular here. I just hope you don't anger them."
In the candy-colored shops on both sides of the street, the notes of accordions and tin whistles overflow from the cracks in the wooden doors of taverns.
The charm of old Europe is hidden in the Guinness stout in the bar and the performance of the musicians with flame-red beards.
An old man in a peaked cap was reciting Yeats's poem "When You Are Old" in Gaelic as he slowly paced the candy-colored streets.
"Will anyone be hostile to us?"
On the exotic streets, Ryukawa Tetsu seemed to feel the cultural context of this country.
James Joyce wrote Ulysses here, Colm Tóibín wrote Brooklyn.
The author who is perhaps more well-known to Oriental people is Oscar Wilde, who wrote "The Nightingale and the Rose". The works of this Irish author have been selected into some textbooks.
"Hostile, not really."
Takeda Maki thought about it and didn't know what to say. The premise of hostility is respect. Many European authors ignore Oriental people.
"Isn't it possible that this would make him sad?"
Takeda Maki looked at Ryukawa Toru and sighed. Ryukawa Toru became famous at a young age and made his debut as a teenager. He would probably not feel good to be surrounded by so few people at the banquet later.
"The people coming tonight include the authors who are participating in the competition, as well as the surrounding literary critics and people from the Royal Publishing Office."
The Royal Publishing House is the largest publishing house in the UK, and the relationship between Ireland and the UK is complicated.
Takeda Shinki squeezed Ryukawa Toru's hand to indicate that she didn't care what happened next.
Longchuan Che nodded and walked into the bar next to the River Liffey with the other party.
