Tokyo, 1994, starting with medical training

Chapter 11 It's time to latch onto a powerful figure.

As soon as Sachiko Nakamori uttered those words, even the guests at several nearby tables stopped talking and turned to look at her.

After a brief moment of shock, the waiter's face was immediately replaced by ecstasy.

"Okay! Okay! Nakamori-san! I'll go prepare right away!"

He bowed almost at a 90-degree angle, then turned around and practically tumbled and crawled towards the backstage area.

Kiryu Kazusuke's eyes widened as well.

No?

If he had known that Sachiko Nakamori would open her mother's champagne tower, why would he have made that bet? Wouldn't it have been better to just cling to the rich woman's coattails?

A regular customer who spends hundreds of thousands of yen in one night is considered generous. So, if he tricks Sachiko Nakamori into paying for him, and she also spends hundreds of thousands of yen, he can get a 20% cashback.

But who knew that Sachiko Nakamori's money came from thin air?

Thinking of this, Kiryu Kazusuke's gaze passed over Imagawa Ori and landed on Nakamori Sachiko's slightly fleshy thighs, which were covered by a layer of bright black stockings.

You really should regret it.

Almost half a minute after Sachiko Nakamori finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire club completely changed.

The music slowed down, the lights became brighter, and all the beams converged on the booth where Sachiko Nakamori was sitting.

"Hey, did you hear that? Nakamori-san over there is going to open the champagne tower!"

"Really? Who is it for? Is it for Naoki Imagawa?"

"Who else could it be but him!"

"Look, the manager went there personally!"

The customers and their companions in the booths all turned to look.

A middle-aged man in a three-piece suit walked over quickly, accompanied by several staff members.

"Nakamori-san, thank you so much for your continued patronage of our shop and Imagawa Nao!"

"We'll prepare the most magnificent and grandest champagne tower ceremony for you right away! We guarantee you and Mr. Imagawa will have an unforgettable evening!"

The manager bent over at a ninety-degree angle, his face beaming with a humble yet eager smile.

Although he noticed a stranger next to Sachiko Nakamori, he didn't care as long as he wasn't someone she brought to the shop for an impart.

The restaurant is very accommodating to its VIP customers.

Sachiko Nakamori nodded slightly.

Her hand gently stroked Imagawa Ori's head back and forth.

"It's worth spending any amount of money as long as it's for you."

After saying that, Sachiko Nakamori, with a doting smile on her face, finally turned her gaze back to Kazusuke Kiryu.

She moved her lips, but said nothing.

But the meaning is already very clear.

Kiryu-kun, what are you going to do? What are you going to do to take Imagawa Ori away from me?

Would you like to order an 8-tier or higher champagne tower?

Kiryu Kazusuke didn't say anything either, and there was nothing to regret now.

soon.

Several waiters pushed a cart covered with a clean white tablecloth over, on which hundreds of crystal-clear wine glasses were neatly arranged.

Under the manager's personal supervision, they began to carefully build the base of the champagne tower.

The surrounding guests were also watching with great interest.

Champagne towers originated from Western aristocratic celebrations, serving as a symbol of blessings and celebration at weddings or grand banquets.

In the nightlife of the bubble economy era, money and power were the tangible manifestation of life.

Although the economy is no longer as prosperous as it once was, this sense of ultimate luxury and ritual has been preserved, becoming the ultimate standard for measuring a guest's status in the club.

While Imagawa Ori's face showed surprise and emotion, she was actually somewhat confused about the current situation.

Kiryu Kazusuke's appearance did indeed make her somewhat flustered for a moment.

Driven by a pragmatic instinct, Imagawa Ori knew the financial situation of everyone in the medical department like the back of her hand.

Among them, Kiryu Kazusuke left the deepest impression on her.

It wasn't because the other person was somewhat handsome; it was simply because he was the poorest one.

His parents have both passed away and can no longer support him. As a medical resident, he only earns a few hundred thousand yen a month, which is about the same as working part-time at a convenience store.

They are the people she would try her best to avoid having any interaction with in her personal life.

Imagawa Ori didn't dislike Kiryu Kazusuke; she simply categorized him as someone who had no use to her.

So when I saw Kiryu Kazusuke here, my first reaction was that he was here to extort money from me.

But now it doesn't seem quite like it.

Could it be that Kiryu-kun actually secretly has feelings for me?

Imagawa Ori sighed inwardly.

If that's the case, then she not only needs to come up with a suitable reason to refuse Kiryu Kazusuke, but also needs to soothe his emotions to prevent him from saying anything inappropriate in the clinic.

This is so troublesome.

If this junior medical student could get hit by a truck and die while going out, he could go and save another world.

Fortunately, Sachiko Nakamori's spending of over three million yen stabilized her emotions considerably.

"Nakamori-san".

Kiryu Kazusuke suddenly spoke, drawing the attention of the two people opposite him.

"Actually, I'd love to open a high-rise champagne tower, but as you can tell, Nakamori-san, I don't have that much money."

"Even if I do my best to open a three- or four-tiered champagne tower, it will only be to serve as a backdrop for you, Nakamori-san."

"In that case, let's just go all the way and open Nakamori-san's champagne to eight layers. I'll make up for any extra cost."

"Nakamori-san, you don't mind, do you?"

He spoke with a sincere smile on his face.

His extremely calm demeanor surprised everyone.

In the sex industry, opening a champagne tower is the most ostentatious way to show off wealth and express affection. If other customers want to compete, the most direct way is to open a taller and more expensive champagne tower.

It's unheard of for someone like Kazusuke Kiryu to propose "adding bricks and tiles" to someone else's champagne tower.

After all, it's only reasonable to pretend to be fat even if you're bloated.

There are even quite a few foolish women who are so jealous that they will fight over a loan to see who wins.

This was the first time Nakamori Sachiko had ever heard of such a request.

The reason she opened a 6-story champagne tower was not because she was short of money, but because she was afraid that if she opened a tower with more than 10 stories from the start, she would scare Kiryu Kazusuke away, which would be too boring.

Just like a cat playing with a mouse before catching it.

But what is the other party doing now?

Is this an outright surrender?

Sachiko Nakamori paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Sure, of course I don't mind."

The manager, of course, had no reason to refuse and immediately went to arrange for more glasses and champagne.

"Thank you for your kind words, sir."

Imagawa Ori glanced at Kiryu Kazusuke and bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

As expected, she really is a junior who admires her.

Seeing this, Sachiko Nakamori frowned slightly, then leaned close to Imagawa Ori's ear, her warm breath brushing against her earlobe.

"Imagawa-kun, will you come home with me tonight?"

"Otherwise, I might have to cheat on you, you know. Koizumi-kun from the shop has invited me out several times in private."

The "cheating" mentioned here actually refers to the regular customer changing the companion they have been requesting for a long time.

Even excluding tonight's expenses, Sachiko Nakamori has already spent over ten million yen on Ori Imagawa.

Imagawa Ori did not reject her request.

After all, it's not like I haven't been to love hotels with female guests before.

The reason he hadn't agreed to Nakamori Sachiko's offer was simply because she hadn't spent enough money.

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Kiryu Kazusuke suddenly leaned over.

"Dr. Imagawa."

"I know you like money, and I know Nakamori-san wants to sleep with you. Before you make a decision, why don't you consider my suggestion?"

"What you can't have always seems more alluring."
