Tokyo: I unlocked their special achievements

"Okay, master."

After agreeing softly, Yumiko Kiyono strode into the Endo Corporation building with her handbag.

After Yumiko Kiyono entered the elevator, Yuya Yokogawa used the prop card to sneak into the office building without anyone noticing.

"Well... let's get started."

Chapter 340

"Mr. Endo, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Do you still remember the one who contacted you before... Kiyono Yumiko?"

in the office.

The middle-aged secretary in a suit was holding a thick stack of documents and spoke politely while pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Endo Shinsuke, who was busy with the land bidding and received one phone call after another, put down the documents in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.

"Um...are you talking about the lady who owns the kimono shop?"

"Yes, Mr. Endo."

"You came to me so late at night, are you trying to get me to promote your business and ask me to buy those marinated toy women from her?"

"Hehe...I don't think so. She didn't mention anything about this when she called me before."

Endo Shinsuke frowned. He had been too busy in the past two days and his mind was a little confused for a while.

But after he thought about it for a while, he remembered what his secretary had said to him before.

"Oh... I think I have some impression of it."

"That woman's kimono shop was burned down, and then she fell out with Soichiro Horiguchi and planned to join us."

"Haha..." The secretary still had a faint smile on her face, and her eyes behind the glasses revealed a shrewdness that did not match her age: "That's about the situation."

"Right now, Kiyono Yumiko is downstairs, and her handbag is full of dirt on Horiguchi Real Estate."

"I guess she's using this as an excuse to ask us for some money and personal protection."

Endo Shinsuke stroked his chin, thought seriously for a while, and then looked at the secretary.

"Yuumura, what do you think?"

The secretary, Nagano Yuumura, bowed slightly and replied, "My suggestion is, you can ask for the dirty laundry and pay for it... but as for personal protection, it's best to avoid it as much as possible."

Endo Shinsuke raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why?"

"It's very simple." Nagano Yuumura replied in a very calm tone: "If Kiyono Yumiko really has the ability and influence... or I can put it in a more straightforward way."

"If Kiyono Yumiko truly had the ability to harm Horiguchi Real Estate, then once she had that dirty laundry, she could have negotiated with Horiguchi Soichiro on her own, even using it as a threat."

"She didn't do that, and instead found us. This proves she doesn't have the ability... If I were to make a bold guess, she might have been forced into a dead end by Soichiro Horiguchi."

"Maybe she has a lot of negative information about Horiguchi Real Estate, but unfortunately, in my opinion, these are not bargaining chips for her to negotiate with us."

"Instead, it should be a gift of surrender to us."

Nagano Yuumura's words were well-reasoned and won the favor of Endo Shinsuke.

Without Endo Shinsuke's urging, Nagano Yuumura continued to add.

"This is a critical period for our bidding against Horiguchi Real Estate, and Horiguchi Real Estate's momentum is clearly stronger than ours."

"It would be unwise to start a war with Horiguchi Real Estate over a woman at this time. It might even affect our bidding."

"Mr. Endo, you should know how important this bid is to Endo Industries."

Endo Shinsuke nodded thoughtfully.

Although Nagano Yuumura's proposal makes sense, Endo Shinsuke is not the kind of person who will just listen to one side of the story.

What Nagano Yuumura said only provided him with some information. As for the key decision, Endo Shinsuke was more detailed himself.

After thinking it over for a long time, Endo Shinsuke made his own judgment.

You must meet the person. If the black material is good, you can ask for a high price.

And as Nagano Yumura said, now is a critical moment in the land bidding and no mistakes can be made.

Personal protection cannot be agreed upon, so the key to this meeting is bargaining.

"I know what to do."

After hearing Endo Shinsuke's answer, Nagano Yuumura smiled knowingly: "Okay, Mr. Endo."

"Then I'll call someone up."

Chapter 341

Ten minutes later, Yumiko Kiyono finally adjusted her dress.

Then, he knocked on the door of Endo Corporation's office.

Endo Shinsuke's office looks very simple. Behind the solid wooden desk is a bookshelf of the same color. In the middle hangs four large Chinese characters: "Heaven rewards hard work."

Endo Shinsuke, who is over fifty years old and has gray hair, is sitting behind his desk, holding his chin and looking at Kiyono Yumiko with a scrutinizing look.

"Hello, Mr. Endo."

Endo Shinsuke nodded and said, "Ms. Kiyono, why are you coming to Endo Industrial so late?"

Yumiko Kiyono held up the hem of her skirt with the back of her hand, sat on the sofa in the guest area, placed the briefcase in her hand on the coffee table, and nodded with a smile.

"I told your secretary before that I came here this time to do business with you."

Endo Shinsuke squinted his eyes, and his wrinkled face showed no joy or sadness, like an old fox wearing a mask.

"You're here to discuss business so late at night... Either you're dedicated enough, Ms. Qingye, or this deal... is shady, isn't it?"

Yumiko Kiyono has communicated with many people in the political and business circles, and it is naturally not the first time she has dealt with people like Shinsuke Endo.

"Haha, you're exaggerating."

"Business is all about profit, regardless of position or right or wrong. Your rival, Horiguchi Real Estate, has spent countless dark nights like this, completing all sorts of deals with all sorts of people, in order to gain profits, to get to where they are today."

"Perhaps... our meeting can also bring the same effect to you and Endo Corporation."

Yumiko Kiyono's words were very concise. She was not overwhelmed by Endo Shinsuke's words, and she also indirectly pointed out the purpose of her visit.

The most important thing is that he made clear the pros and cons between himself and Endo Shinsuke, implicitly stating his own value, and the whole process was neither humble nor arrogant.

A barely perceptible gleam flashed in Endo Shinsuke's slightly cloudy eyes.

Haha...this woman is more eloquent than I imagined.

Not bad, really good.

"Since you've said this much, I'll just listen."

Yumiko Kiyono bowed slightly, and her long and plump legs in flesh-colored stockings were naturally raised.

She opened the bag beside her, took out the documents inside, gently twisted them with her fingertips, slightly opened her lips, and read the contents in a gentle and charming voice.

"Horiguchi Real Estate and your Endo Corporation have had a lot of conflicts over land bidding in the past few years."

"In terms of project quality and work efficiency alone, your Endo Industries far surpasses Horiguchi Real Estate. They even managed the relationships between superiors and subordinates well in advance."

"But every time, something unexpected happened at a critical moment, and Horiguchi Real Estate turned the tables."

"Once is a coincidence, twice maybe, but three or four times... it's inevitable."

Endo Shinsuke frowned slightly, and his eyes, which were old and cloudy due to his age, flashed with scrutiny and caution.

Before Endo Shinsuke could ask any questions, Kiyono Yumiko started explaining first.

"Luckily, there was a little friction between me and Horiguchi Real Estate a while ago."

"While investigating Horiguchi Real Estate, I stumbled upon some very interesting information. I think you, as the head of Endo Industries, would be very interested in it."

"This information in particular can explain why... unexpected events always occur at the crucial moment of every bidding, leading to the abortion of the auction."

I have to say that Yumiko Kiyono's negotiation skills are indeed superb.

In just over ten minutes from the time she entered the door, Yumiko Kiyono successfully won the favor of Shinsuke Endo through conversation and aroused his interest in the documents in her hand.

And this is just the first step in the negotiations.

Endo Shinsuke smiled, leaned forward, tilted his head and spoke with interest.

"Oh?"

"Since you said so, I really have to watch it."

"Okay, Mr. Endo." Kiyono Yumiko's face was calm, but she had already made up her mind: "However, time is tight, I can't tell you everything."

"So... I can only pick out some things that you are more interested in and tell you."

Chapter 342

Yumiko Kiyono had carefully selected the content of this negotiation long before she came.

Whenever the competition between Endo Corporation and Horiguchi Real Estate reaches the most critical moment, a public opinion storm will suddenly break out on the side of Endo Corporation, such as female employees being harassed by their superiors, serious quality problems in the project, etc.

Endo Shinsuke is very smart and naturally knows that all this public opinion is caused by Horiguchi Real Estate.

So when Yumiko Kiyono revealed the mastermind behind the incident and how Soichiro Horiguchi led others to hype up public opinion, Endo Shinsuke did not seem particularly excited.

Although he knew the mastermind behind the public opinion, unfortunately, due to his age, Endo Shinsuke's way of thinking was still based on traditional media such as television and newspapers before the rise of the Internet.

Faced with the rapid fermentation and spread of the Internet, Endo Shinsuke's solution was to find TV stations and reporters and use interviews and other means to prove himself.

However, this time-consuming and laborious way of self-proof could not keep up with the speed of Soichiro Horiguchi's internet slander, which also led to Endo Industries quickly falling into a passive position every time public opinion arose.

After being burdened with negative public opinion, the land owner had no choice but to sell the land to Horiguchi Real Estate at a low price in order to avoid suspicion.

After all...engineering quality and conscience are not actually important at times.

What determines the outcome is not the bid price or business ability at the bidding site, but off-site factors.

But there is much more negative information about Yumiko Kiyono than this.

When she said that Horiguchi Real Estate cut corners, hired gangs to violently demolish the project, and even caused a loss of life, and that there was sufficient evidence, even the knowledgeable Endo Shinsuke couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It seems...this Yumiko Kiyono is indeed well prepared!

On the other side, Yumiko Kiyono was also carefully observing Endo Shinsuke's expression during the conversation.

She saw through the old fox-like shrewdness completely.

Yumiko Kiyono could roughly guess that if the negotiation ended here, she would most likely not get the protection and help of Endo Industries after the negotiation, but at least she would see Endo and Horiguchi fighting each other.

This was also the minimum standard that Yokogawa Yuu discussed with her before coming.

But Yumiko Kiyono still wants to fight for it.

"Qingye...how are things going over there?"

The faint voice of Yokogawa Yu came from the earring. Kiyono Yumiko silently flipped the documents in her hand, lifted the hair by her ear, and took the opportunity to tap the earring lightly.

This was the secret code agreed upon by the two.

Yokogawa Yu would ask her about the situation in the form of questions. If there was no problem, he would knock once, and if there was a problem, he would knock twice.

After receiving a positive answer, Yokogawa Yu narrowed his eyes, fiddled with the system interface, and controlled the tracking fly to hover around Nagano Yumura, who was wearing a suit.

From the moment Yokogawa Yu stepped into Endo Corporation's office building, tracking flies flew out like a swarm of drones, scattering in every corner of the office building, eavesdropping on the communications of these people.

And this man named Nagano Yumura soon attracted the attention of Yokogawa Yu.

"I'm working on securing your escape route. It seems there's no problem at the moment, and Endo Industries has no plans to restrict your personal freedom."

"If there's any trouble over there, remember to notify me immediately and I'll be able to pick you up right away."

Kiyono Yumiko felt warm in her heart.

Although she had knelt on the ground and sworn allegiance to Yokogawa Yu, Yokogawa Yu did not really treat her like a domestic animal. Instead, he cared about her safety and truly practiced what he had promised.

Yumiko Kiyono came here alone, and it would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.

But Yokogawa Yu's few words at the critical moment comforted her panicked heart and gave her courage.

Haha... No wonder Kiyono Ruki likes him so much.

If this goes on... maybe even my aunt will fall hopelessly in love with you.

Yumiko Kiyono pursed her lips, tucked the hair around her ears, and tapped her earrings.
