For Sadaharu Toyokawa, there was actually no room for loss in this betting agreement.
If he wins, Taku Sakagami will definitely be able to gain a certain status in the Toyokawa Group, and at the same time it will help him consolidate his position. If he loses, Toyokawa Sadaharu can still use Taku Sakagami to let his granddaughter come back to inherit the zaibatsu, and spending this little money is just a small matter.
Although he felt that Sakagami Taku had almost no chance of winning at the moment, at least he was very satisfied with the boy's current performance.
Dare to gamble and dare to fight, this is the spirit that young people should have.
Even if he fails once, as long as he doesn't lose the confidence to fight like the stray dog like Toyokawa Kiyoshi, and as long as he doesn't fail because of something ridiculous like fraud, for Toyokawa Sadaharu, Taku Sakagami is still a diamond worth cultivating.
And if he fails just once, it will be easier for him to control Sakagami Taku.
Setbacks can temper a person's will, but they can also wear away a person's edges.
Toyokawa Sadaharu didn't know why after signing the agreement, Sakagami Taku was not afraid but excited instead. But no matter what, the money spent on this young man was worth it.
Speaking of which, the music industry has developed rapidly in recent years. The Toyokawa Group has never had absolute dominance in this regard. Although it has famous singers, it is not a specialized field after all, and some top singers are not in their company.
I don’t know what level this boy is at in music.
He thought it shouldn't be bad.
As long as one can reach the level of his granddaughter, he will be considered a top genius.
--------------------------------
On the other side, with the Maybach taking care of everything, Sakagami Taku was in a good mood, which he hadn't felt for a long time.
Although the contract cannot be completed immediately, Sakagami Taku has been recording only golden songs on his account and has maintained it until today just for this moment.
When Taku Sakagami finished reading the contract, he actually already had a clear path in his mind.
He wanted to create a historic character, an absolute musical genius, someone who could subvert the entire music industry.
Of course, Taku Sakagami never forgot his original intention from beginning to end.
He loves music, and even if he didn't owe debts, he would have taken this path. The account "Only Record Golden Songs" and all the songs it releases are intended to allow people in this world to feel the charm of the music of his previous life.
Sakagami Taku intends to bring "Only Recording Hits" to the world stage, allowing people to feel the charm of music and gain hope from it. Of course, making money after success is just a side effect, and it's definitely not done for the sake of money.
In any case, with the help of the Toyokawa Group, within a few years, he only needs to use the identity of "only recording golden songs" to win the Japan Record Award, the highest honor in Japanese music, and his plan will basically be half successful.
What? You asked him why he hadn't participated in these competitions before?
Do you think that the competition is easy and anyone can sign up for it?
Not to mention that he has to spend money to register and fight his way into the lowest level competition step by step. The time cost alone is not something that Taku Sakagami can afford.
As for the account that only records golden songs, it’s not that no one wants to invest, but those capitalists are not as generous as the Fengchuan Group.
Not to mention that you have to use his account to help run a bunch of advertisements. If you don't sign their unfair terms, they are even unwilling to provide you with any resources and exposure opportunities. What's the difference between this and working illegally? Even if you succeed, it will be said that it is the credit of those companies, and your interests will even be minimized. You will have no chance to display your talents. Even if you change jobs, you will be bound by those unfair terms.
Either you will be asked to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages, or they will find some negative information about you and pull you down from the pedestal.
Now that he has the opportunity to take a gamble, Taku Sakagami plans to start understanding the trends in the music industry in recent years.
Alas, the chairman of Fengchuan Group is too old and doesn’t know how to do business.
Even if he loses, what does he have to lose?
As the saying goes, more debt is better than less debt. Whether you owe 1 billion or 2 billion, it is still a debt.
Can you still lock me up in the small dark room in the basement of your Toyokawa family?
There is no child who cries every day, and no gambler who loses every day.
Back then, Chen Daozi was able to win 37 million with only 20 yuan. Today, it is not a problem for me, Sakagami Taku, to win 1 billion without spending a penny.
Taku Sakagami always felt as if something was familiar, but he still resolutely chose to go all in. All in is a kind of wisdom.
This time, he will definitely not make the same mistake again.
What's more, he has no capital to lose now. Only his body is worth something.
It can't be that the chairman of Toyokawa Group has taken a fancy to his people, right?
How could I, a high school student with a huge debt, attract a chairman of a big chaebol like Toyokawa Sadaharu?
Haha, then you might as well say that the Toyokawa Group actually has other illegitimate children.
It’s a pity that Toyokawa Sadaharu didn’t give him any special treatment and let Sakagami Taku free of interest during this period, otherwise he could have speeded up the process.
However, Taku Sakagami felt that his life was about to take off, so there was no need to worry about such a small matter.
When going upstairs, Sakagami Taku found a message on his mobile phone.
It was sent to me by the store manager where I work. It was a screenshot of a surveillance camera, showing a blue-haired girl squatting at the door of the store.
Seeing the photo at this moment, Sakagami Taku even felt that the other person was much more handsome.
Then came the message from the store manager: "She's been here for three hours. I remember you live nearby, Taku, right? Would it be convenient for you to go see what's going on? It's not safe for a girl to be here alone in the middle of the night."
After seeing the news, Taku Sakagami thought for a moment and went upstairs to get a windbreaker.
I’m in a good mood today, Toyokawa Shoko, I finally like you after a long time!
Your husband has been very kind to me. I won’t bother with you about the 160,000 yuan guitar for now.
--------------------------------
In the afternoon, because Nagasaki Motoyo and others ordered a lot of desserts and food, Toyokawa Shoko also ate some, so she was not very hungry.
After get off work in the evening, she waited until Taku Sakagami left and then went back to the door of the store where she worked.
There is a rain shield at the entrance of the coffee shop to prevent rain from falling.
Shoko Toyokawa just sat on the steps at the door, watching the drizzle outside.
She didn't want to go back, at least not today.
Her father said those words every day, and she was actually used to being naughty with him, but today was the first time that he took direct action and threw a can at her.
Everything starts from the first time.
As night fell and it started to rain, the weather gradually became colder.
Shoko Toyokawa buried her face in her knees, curled up her body, and only showed her eyes to look at the scenery not far away.
The sound of rain was sparse, but it felt much quieter than that home.
Occasionally, the wind would blow, making her shiver a little, but even so, she didn't want to go back.
She had no other familiar places, so perhaps she could ask Ruoye Mu if she could stay at her house. But if she did that, her grandfather would definitely find out, and then he might use this as an excuse to make her go back and not allow her to come to her father's house again.
Thinking of this, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly felt that returning to Toyokawa Group seemed to be no big deal.
No one knew what happened to her in that home, and no one knew about her grievances.
After tonight, perhaps the dissatisfaction and emotions in my heart will slowly dissipate.
In fact, after spending the afternoon with Taku Sakagami and the others, most of the unhappiness in her heart had dissipated, and what lingered in her heart now was a trace of...resistance towards that home.
When she thought of her father's decadent, unkempt and sloppy appearance, she felt depressed.
She found that she seemed to have gradually lost her original determination to come out.
It seemed that no matter how gently he treated his father, he could not break through his thorny shell.
Shoko Toyokawa was a little confused. She was confused about whether her choice was correct, whether it was worth it to treat herself like this, and whether all her efforts were in vain.
But at this moment, Shoko Toyokawa heard footsteps, turned around, and found pedestrians walking towards her not far away.
When she raised her eyes, Shoko Toyokawa realized that it was a very familiar figure.
Taku Sakagami came over here holding an umbrella.
The first time Toyokawa Shoko saw Sakagami Taku, she stood up in a panic and wanted to leave. However, she had been sitting for too long and was a little cold, so she staggered to her feet and was about to fall.
"You've seen it all. Why would you leave?" Sakagami Taku's voice stopped her from escaping. "Besides, you're shaking."
He walked to Shoko Toyokawa's side, folded his umbrella, and shook off the rain.
Then he handed the windbreaker he brought to Toyokawa Shoko.
This is a warm style I bought specifically for warmth. Although it is cheap and ugly, the effect is amazing.
Shoko Toyokawa looked at it for a long time, but there was no sign of him taking it.
Sakagami Taku spoke in a strong voice, giving her a choice: "Either I contact your grandfather, or you put it on now, choose for yourself."
Hearing this, as expected, Toyokawa Shoko's face showed obvious panic. She took Sakagami Taku's windbreaker and said, "I, I understand."
After putting it on, her body became noticeably warmer and she stopped shivering. Feeling the warmth of the coat, Toyokawa Shoko's cheeks flushed. She whispered, "I'll wash it and give it back to you later."
"Why wash it? This thing is meant to be worn outside, so it's so troublesome to wash. I'm too lazy to wash it unless it's obviously dirty."
At this point, Sakagami Taku paused, then explained, "Of course, what you are wearing now is what I just washed and put in the closet last time. After all, winter is over and you don't need it anymore."
In fact, even if it was a little dirty, Toyokawa Shoko wouldn't mind.
But soon, Shoko Toyokawa noticed something.
That is, Sakagami Taku was obviously well prepared, but how did the other party know that he was here and was so cold?
"Why, why do you know I'm here..."
Her voice was soft and somewhat weak.
Shoko Toyokawa was a little afraid to look directly at Taku Sakagami. She didn't know why, but every time Taku Sakagami saw her embarrassed look, she would feel strange in her heart.
In the past, she had the courage to say to him, "Leave me alone," but ever since she cried in his arms last time, and he saw how miserable she was now, Toyokawa Shoko only felt that she was getting weaker and weaker. She also always felt that Sakagami Taku was becoming more and more assertive towards her, and she didn't know if it was her illusion.
I've always wanted to become stronger, but if I keep going like this, it's totally useless.
She placed her hands at a loss, wondering why Taku Sakagami had suddenly come back.
Did you forget to take something?
If she had known earlier, she should have gone somewhere else today.
Taku Sakagami didn't say anything, but pointed to the camera with his chin.
Shoko Toyokawa subconsciously looked over and found that the camera was staring directly at her.
Sakagami Taku then explained, "The manager told me that you've been sitting here for several hours. I thought you were waiting for your family to pick you up, but no one has come yet. He's very worried about you, so he asked me to come check on you. It's already late, almost eleven o'clock at night, and it's not safe for a girl like you to be outside. Besides, it's raining today, and it will be very cold at night. I noticed this morning that you were wearing thin clothes. Having a fever is very troublesome, and you still have to take care of your father."
"I, I'm fine, I just want to see the rain." Toyokawa Shoko tried to get away with it by lying.
"Really? Then it seems that tonight's rain has some special meaning."
Taku Sakagami took a look at the dark road. Only a few street lights could barely show the night view.
Can you be more perfunctory in your excuse?
Sakagami Taku asked briefly, "Don't want to go back?"
Shoko Toyokawa didn't answer, but it was no different from her consent.
"Why don't you ask Su Shi and the others to stay for one night? I don't think they will refuse."
"..."
"When you were working this morning, you smelled like beer. Did you spread it at home?"
"Why..." Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head and looked at the ground. She had lost the means of resistance. She felt that nothing could be hidden from Sakagami Taku, and it seemed that she always met him by coincidence: "...I feel like Taku knows everything."
"Because it's easy to guess. You've been a little distracted all day. The beer on you, the 168 billion loss, these scattered things combined together, it's almost impossible to be a coincidence. But I don't know if the matter is that serious."
While taking care of my father, beer was spilled on me. Was it a coincidence or did my father do it?
Takumi Sakagami didn’t know either.
After hearing what Sakagami Taku said, Toyokawa Shoko asked in confusion: "If it were you..."
"I do not know."
Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko thought to herself, "As expected."
For some things, asking others for help is useless.
