In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

"What?" Nagano Nao asked after regaining his attention.

Iue Ryouta excitedly turned up the volume of the car radio and said, "Do you want to listen?"

on the air.

The clear voice of the announcer came: "The government of the Hungarian People's Republic began to open its borders to the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria. The political situation in the German Democratic Republic began to become turbulent. A large number of people fled to the Federal Republic of Germany through the Hungarian People's Republic..."

"Large-scale protests broke out in the capital Berlin and the second largest city Leipzig, demanding the opening of the Berlin Wall."

"In the 45 years since the Polish United Workers' Party came to power, it has formed the first government with an opposition leader as prime minister. The leader of the Solidarity Union, Walesa, is the prime minister..."

"..."

Hearing the news, Nagano Nao was shocked.

His first reaction was—the Berlin Wall is about to fall!

The fall of this wall built at the beginning of the Cold War will mean the end of the Cold War that has lasted for fifty years.

Iue Ryouta obviously realized this, and he said excitedly: "It seems that the balance of the Cold War has tilted, haha..."

Chapter 6: No money for a caregiver

Are you stupid? ! ! !

Nagano Nao looked at him strangely and said, "Is there anything to be happy about?"

"Are you an idiot, straight man? Don't you think this is good news? The Russians are our enemies. If their situation gets worse, their economy will definitely be greatly impacted. Isn't this a huge opportunity for us to grab more exports?"

Will the Russian economy suffer a major impact?

What a fool!

Don't you understand that Japan is the one that is really at the forefront?

Nagano Naoio was quite speechless.

He knew very well that Japan's ability to become the world's second largest economy was not due to its craftsmanship, but rather to its geographical location in the Asia-Pacific region.

Behind the scenes is the Cold War game among international forces.

Therefore, when Japan was faced with huge war reparations after the war, the Cold War broke out and its economy quickly took off to become the world's second largest economy.

But the causes of the past determine the results of today. The Cold War was the cause of both success and failure.

Once there are signs that the Cold War is ending, Japan will lose its value in containing the East.

The Plaza Accord was just the fuse that tipped the balance of victory and defeat between the East and the West, and this fuse was the result of years of captivity for slaughter.

Nao Nagano clearly remembers that in the second month after the Berlin Wall was forced to open, the Japanese stock market peaked and quickly collapsed, followed by a real estate collapse and large-scale bank bankruptcies.

By then, Japan's good days will be over.

unemployment.

Bankrupt.

Finding a job became very difficult.

If you don’t have capital, forget about starting a business.

Bang bang! ! !

A sudden knocking sound outside the car window interrupted Nagano Nao's thoughts.

A guy holding a flyer saw the opportunity to break the traffic jam, knocked on the car window with a smile, and kept bowing outside.

Ryouta Iue rolled down his car window and accepted the promotional advertisement amid the other party's gratitude.

It is a seller's advertisement.

Mitsubishi Real Estate's luxury residence - The Kita.

Ink paper.

The background pattern is a beautiful blue sky and sea and a majestic group of high-rise buildings. A wretched-looking guy is holding a beautiful star and looks like he deserves a beating.

Advertising copy words:

early morning.

When you open the curtains and hold your woman and look down at the world below

The common people are just down there like garbage.

If you throw money down from here, it will be like a humble ant colony seeing candy.

Come gather together

Sneer at such mortals

Then greet the morning with a sip of the slightly bitter coffee in your hand.

What a wonderful thing it is!

The Kita Zhumi, each stack is 760 million. With such a high-end house, you will be the most popular man in the world...

Very speechless advertising.

But Iue Ryouta looked somewhat yearning, and even forgot to talk about the international political situation, as if he was fantasizing about something.

Ok.

The main reason is that the advertising planning is really great.

Very immersive.

Ryouta Iue couldn't help but fantasize that if he could buy a house like this, maybe he wouldn't have to be kept being held back by his goddess and refuse to go on a date with her.

The cars in front started one after another.

Iue Ryouta happened to think of a beautiful place, and said with longing: "Straight man, the house here looks very nice, what do you think?!"

"You don't want to buy a house, do you?" Nagano Nao said in surprise.

Iue Ryouta stepped on the accelerator and replied a little embarrassedly: "Yes! You know, Miss Mikami has always refused to date me mainly because I don't have a house."

Damn it!

It's guys like you who drive up the price of leather!

The muscles at the corners of Nagano's mouth trembled.

Yui Mikami knew for sure that Ryouta Iue had been pursuing her for a long time. Because he had a car, he would pick her up from get off work every day and was more diligent than a private car driver.

But the authorities are confused, but the bystanders know clearly.

Looking at Iue Ryouta's innocent look of admiration, Nagano Nao couldn't help but think of his own miserable life in his previous life.

As an experienced back-up, he knew very well that people only treated Iue Ryouta as a back-up.

What a painful realization!

"Iue-kun, forgive me for being blunt, but it's not appropriate for you to buy a house now that you've just started working."

"There will definitely be pressure, but if you don't buy now, you won't be able to afford it in the future. You know the situation in Japan. We have a small area and a large population. We don't know how high the price of a house will rise in the future."

"How much do you earn per month now?"

"It's about the same as a civil servant now, 25 yen a month."

25?

It’s about twelve or thirteen thousand.

This salary is not high!

Isn't it said that Japan's income is very high at this time?

“It should be difficult to buy a house with this income!”

"Do you think this is a part-time job during the holidays? The monthly salary is only part of the income! Sleep bonus, commuting expenses, plus client entertainment expenses, each person makes about 15 million yen a year. If you save a little, it shouldn't be a problem to save up for a down payment after working for a year."

One thousand and five?

What the hell!

Wouldn’t that mean an annual income of 700,000 or 800,000?

Good guy!

Even if I lose my inheritance, I can still work!

I was deeply shocked.

But with such a high income, why do you want to get married?

Cerebral palsy?

Nagano Naoko asked in confusion: "Why are you so hard on yourself just for the sake of getting married? Naoko, don't you think it will affect the quality of your life?"

Iue Ryouta looked at him with a strange look: "How can you say such a thing? Being with the person you love is the beginning of real life!"

What a childish guy!

Nagano Nao said speechlessly: "We are the peerless tigers of the empire. You actually become a house slave for a woman. It's really shameful!"

"Isn't it normal for a man to sacrifice for a woman? Aren't you also enduring Miss Nagano?"

"That was me in the past. Sooner or later, I will become the most powerful man. So I will not take the initiative, refuse, or take responsibility for women in the future. It will definitely not affect the quality of my life."

"How dare you say such shameless words? Don't let those women hear you, or they will beat your head off."

"..."

Time for chatting.

Under the command of Naoio Nagano, after turning left and right, the car stopped in front of a standard single-family house.

The so-called single-family building, which is usually called a private villa, is a three-story building located in a dense woods, with a small garden, parking lot, and partial private roads.

According to the housing prices in Arakawa Ward, such a house is worth at least 400 million yen.

The taxi behind also caught up.

Nagano Kanako brought Chiyuki over and kept thanking him: "Iue-kun, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I really don't know how I could bring back the straight man and all these things."
