Chapter 908 Little Flower Snake
Like a blue light, a sports car drove from Harumi Avenue, slowed down and turned into Matsuya Street leading to Ginza 1-chome.
Then turn left and walk thirty meters, finally parking in the parking lot of Matsuya Department Store.
This old department store opened in 1925, earlier than the Mitsukoshi Department Store across the street.
Not only is it one of the oldest, most upscale, and most famous department stores in Tokyo.
And from the day it opened, it has been a place where fashion and design merge.
The store has a dazzling array of luxury goods from all over the world, as well as high-quality products full of international fashion and contemporary feel.
To meet the strong consumer demand of Japan's wealthy class.
However, in recent years, as wealthy Japanese people have taken the initiative to go abroad more and more frequently, many people have fallen in love with purchasing luxury goods directly from abroad.
The advantage is that it is not only cheap and high-quality, but also protects privacy.
Therefore, this led to the decline in the importance of Matsuya Department Store in the minds of wealthy Japanese.
Rich people often come here to buy only for sudden urgent needs such as gift giving.
On November 28, the afternoon of Western Thanksgiving, Keiko Matsumoto came with this purpose in mind.
But she didn't have much time. She made an appointment to meet Ning Weimin at the restaurant and bar of the Mitsui Garden Hotel in Ginza almost an hour later at four o'clock in the afternoon.
So there didn't seem to be enough time to carefully select clothes, not to mention she didn't know Ning Weimin's clothing size.
After much deliberation, within the limited time, it seemed that the most practical option was to buy a watch as a gift for Ning Weimin.
To be honest, she had long wanted to give Ning Weimin a better watch. She had even had this idea since they first met.
You know, she has noticed that there is no watch on Ning Weimin's wrist.
This poor young man, the strap of his watch seems to be broken, and the watch has been kept inside his clothes.
Always take it out when checking the time.
Maybe it's not a good brand, and its owner may be a little shy because of it, and he's not too embarrassed to show it to others.
So in her opinion, if a higher-end watch is used as a gift.
Not only will it make Ning Weimin look more decent, but it will also be of more practical use. He will definitely be happy.
Not to mention that his wrist is so elegant and strong, making people want to hold on tightly.
It is supposed to be decorated with a brand-name watch.
Not only that, she also wanted to give Ning Weimin more things.
Shirts, trousers, coats, shoes, socks, leather shoes, jackets, scarves, sunglasses, belts, wallets, cufflinks, tie clips, and limited edition pens and lighters...
His figure is so good, naturally matched with high-end goods.
If it were a few centimeters taller, she would definitely be able to serve as a professional model.
Not to mention he is so young.
When will you wear it if you don’t want to wear it at this time? Do we have to wait until we are old?
Seriously, those luxury goods displayed in the stores in Matsuya Ginza.
No matter clothing, shoes, socks, or trinkets, they are all wasted.
Because often these things can only be used to dress up those vulgar, old and bloated bodies.
This extremely "dialectical" idea made Matsumoto Keiko feel more at ease and more impatient.
Needless to say, because it was Thursday, Thursday.
There were still relatively few customers in Matsuya Ginza before it was time to get off work.
The advantage is that parking spaces are easy to find and you will never have to wait in line for more than half an hour like on weekends.
The disadvantage is that there are far more service staff than customers.
Wearing neat and decent uniforms, they stood waiting at each counter.
As soon as he sees a customer, he will bow ninety degrees, play a snobbish game in politeness, make insinuations, and play hard to get.
But this is not what really makes Matsumoto Keiko feel uncomfortable.
It was what she saw when she walked into the mall gate, passed through the cosmetics area and came to the escalator.
The big Shiseido poster here is particularly eye-catching.
The entire picture covering several square meters is like a waterfall, layer by layer, directly connecting from the top floor of the mall to the underground floor.
You know, Shiseido was the cosmetics she endorsed a year ago.
In other words, a year ago, her photo was still hanging here.
But now, the position that was originally supposed to be occupied by her is no longer what it used to be. It has been replaced by someone else.
No matter which floor she went to, she could see the film and television singing star Ayumi Ishida who was similar in age to her, and she hated her smiling face.
This lucky man who occupied this position because of her bad luck said to her as if he was mocking.
"What you lose is what I gain, I'm sorry..."
How could she turn a blind eye, how could she still remain calm inside and not be disturbed at all?
Keiko Matsumoto, who walked up the escalator, really regretted not taking the escalator. Why did she have to come here to receive this mental stimulation?
What was even more surprising was that just when she finally reached the fourth floor and was about to leave the escalator, she met an acquaintance again.
At that time, a burst of female laughter floated from her right side.
The laughter was not clear and clear, neither like a silver bell nor a lark.
It seemed like there was something wrapped in the mouth, and it seemed like they were kissing and smiling at the same time, and there was something inexplicably familiar about it.
Matsumoto Keiko turned her head out of curiosity, and caught a glimpse of Michiko Harada.
She was indeed smiling with something in her mouth, and she was also smiling while kissing her.
But what she kissed was an ice cream cone.
She is not alone, there is a man of about the same age as her by her side.
You can tell from the clothes that they are a relatively wealthy and wealthy class.
The two of them leaned side by side on the glass fence of the mall, each holding a cone in their hands.
However, this man held the cone in his hand and did not eat it himself. He just kept feeding it into Michiko Harada's mouth.
The man stuffed it, Michiko sucked it and smiled.
The man stuffed it again, and Michiko stuck out her tongue to add another mouthful, and smiled again...
The two of them were having fun, and they were having fun, and so on.
Michiko's oval face kept smiling like this while licking and sucking.
Smile coquettishly, smile boldly, and smile openly.
It seemed that her peach blossom eyes were about to narrow into a slit, and the goose egg shell that she had worked so hard to decorate was shattered.
Keiko Matsumoto was not sure whether Michiko Harada and this man were in a formal relationship.
But she knew that the relationship between the two of them was definitely not a normal one, and some of their behaviors had exceeded reasonable communication boundaries.
So in an instant, Matsumoto Keiko was upset at first seeing this scene that was against public customs.
When I thought about the purpose of my trip, I felt even more embarrassed.
Needless to say, she felt guilty when she came to buy a gift for a young man in private and did not want to run into an acquaintance.
In particular, I met the daring Michiko Harada again.
This girl has always liked to inquire into the truth and make clues. It would be troublesome if she caught any clues.
So Matsumoto Keiko didn't hesitate much, turned around and left, intending to hide in the nearby Cartier store.
She was still thinking that as long as she was not discovered, she would just avoid it.
Unexpectedly, Michiko Harada’s eyes are quite sharp.
Even though Matsumoto Keiko had turned around and left, Michiko Harada still recognized her just from her back.
So almost ten minutes later, Matsumoto Keiko thought she had avoided this encounter and was sitting at the counter concentrating on choosing a watch for Ning Weimin.
Michiko Harada actually followed her in carrying a handbag.
She acted coquettishly and cheered with a look of surprise and joy.
And that man is no longer with her at this time.
I don’t know if he left on his own initiative or was driven away by her.
"It can't be such a coincidence, is it really you? Sister."
Matsumoto Keiko turned around and was stunned when she heard this.
But soon, she stared at Michiko Harada’s sunglasses and smiled.
"Huh? What a coincidence. We meet here, Michiko."
Her acting skills were even better, and she seemed to be really surprised, as if she hadn't seen anything just now. "I knew I would have good luck today. When I went out in the morning, a black cat jumped on my car. Sure enough, I met a noble person."
"Oh, you have such a mouth. It’s so sweet.”
“I’m so happy to see my sister!”
Michiko Harada continued to walk over and sat next to Keiko Matsumoto affectionately.
The service staff bowed consciously and stepped aside, allowing them to speak freely.
"Hey, by the way. Why are you visiting the department store at this time? Is there no announcement today?"
Matsumoto Keiko asked pretending to be unintentional.
Michiko Harada didn’t doubt him.
“Ouch. It’s rare to be lazy for a day. I was originally going to a magazine to shoot a print advertisement. But I didn’t expect that the young boss of that magazine was quite easy to talk to. Seeing my listlessness, I heard that I didn’t have a good rest yesterday, so I gave you a day off and came with me to relax.”
As she spoke, Michiko Harada raised her wrist as if to show off, with a shiny Tiffany bracelet hanging on it.
"Sister, look, does it look good? I just bought it on this floor for 280,000 yen. That guy is quite generous."
Obviously, she looked crooked Open your mouth and look beautiful.
No answer is needed at all, and the vanity is already greatly satisfied.
“Ah? So you have a boyfriend?”
Matsumoto Keiko asked a little surprised.
"What. How could I be so stupid."
Michiko Harada looks like a sexy wild cat.
She laughed for a while and came over, almost whispering into Matsumoto Keiko's ear.
“That man is just a ‘tribute man’. I’ll give him some sweet treats because he’s cute. My natural man must at least be a great director or writer. He’s also rich. , famous, social status, and interesting, what do you think?”
"It's good to be young. You can always be full of hope and fantasy, and face life positively."
Matsumoto Keiko expressed her views in euphemistic words.
But I sighed silently in my heart.
She felt that she was indeed old and could no longer accept the love views of these young girls.
She also knows some things in today's society.
Young girls have become, like to objectify themselves.
Not only do they have no burden of being in a few boats, many people also engage in phone meetings and sell their bodies.
And it’s like mocking, giving men nicknames and categories.
What kind of errand man, tribute man, checkout man...
But for the natal man of the marriage partner, do not consider feelings.
However, it is only considered based on the conditions of height, education and income, which has even reached the point of being whimsical and completely unrealistic.
This is the so-called "three tall men".
"Ah, are you trying to hit me, sister?"
Michiko Harada is not stupid, she actually heard the sarcasm.
So she took advantage of her young age and started acting coquettishly.
"Why don't you feel sorry for me at all? Last time you left early, I was worried about you for a long time. Later I thought about it, the director's wife was really a bit too much. I'm also very sad for my sister, and I don't even contact her much now. But recently I heard that my sister’s career is improving again, and I’m really happy for her.”
“It turns out that it’s just for NHK. It’s just an interview show. Besides, it’s not the first time I’ve participated in the Red and White Song Festival.”
Matsumoto Keiko said very modestly.
But she didn't expect that she would go wrong. Michiko Harada didn't mean this.
"Ah? My sister is going to perform at the Red and White Song Festival again? I don't know yet. Have you received an invitation from NHK? It's really amazing."
"Huh? You don't know? Then you just..."
"A movie, sister, I'm talking about the movie "The Man in the Burning House". Shooting will start soon, right? Director Fukasaku who loves you the most Don’t you still like you to be the heroine? I already know this, so don’t hide it from me?”
When it came to business, Michiko Harada became even more enthusiastic, not only did she deliberately please , and even winked deliberately.
"Look at you, how obvious it is? Otherwise, why are you looking at a men's watch? Isn't it a gift for Director Fukasaku? Oh, this watch costs 1.2 million! Sister is really Director Fukasaku will definitely like it. If you really reconcile, then I’ll be relieved.”
However, Matsumoto Keiko categorically denied this.
"You are making random guesses again. There is no such thing. I am just here to buy gifts for my family today. This watch will never be worn on the hands of any director. And I also want to tell you, although I received the invitation, I have also clearly refused. I will not star in this movie. The rumors you heard are all false..."
"Reject! Why would you refuse such a good opportunity? Huh? Obviously every time my sister collaborates with director Fukasaku, she always wins awards..."
Michiko Harada took off her sunglasses and said in an incredible tone.
"I would also like to ask my sister to say good things to me. Let me have an important role to play..."
"Then you and I will be disappointed. I You and Director Fukasaku don’t agree on the shooting concept. We are destined to be unable to cooperate. I’m sorry that I can’t do anything for you at the moment. Clothes or handbags. How about it, Michiko, do you see anything you like today? If so, I’ll buy it for you..."
Matsumoto Keiko made a joke to change the focus, so that Michiko would not inquire about this matter again and have endless entanglements.
Of course, let yourself relax by the way.
Unfortunately, Michiko Harada had no intention of teasing, "Oh, sister, you are serious."
After complaining, he looked around and showed a mysterious and gossipy look. , still not giving up.
"Sister, why have you lost your temper again? Shochiku Pictures has always been a director-responsible system. How to make a movie, as an actor, you only need to listen to the director. You made this decision too hastily. Fortunately, director Fukasaku, there is still room for redemption. You must think carefully and make a new decision, otherwise you will definitely regret it.”
"Why?"
"Because in the recently released movie "Yaksha", Ayumi Ishida, who played the husband and wife with Takakura Ken, also fell in love with the heroine of this movie. You didn't know, right? She and Takakura Ken Her agent is actively communicating with Director Fukasaku privately. Can you believe it? The woman who took advantage of the situation and stole the advertisements of Shiseido and Mitsui Bank from you has now tasted the sweetness of the movie and is here to steal it from you again. The heroine! Isn’t it enough that she took away all your commercials, and let her take away the heroine of the movie? Besides, if our Shochiku Pictures uses an outsider as the heroine, it will be a shame for us. Where else can we put it? How can we, the loyal actresses of Shochiku, meet people? Sister, only your weight in the entire shipyard can compete with that woman..."
"Ayumi Ishida?"
This news is indeed surprising.
Although Matsumoto Keiko tried her best to hide it, her expression still showed a little uneasiness.
Michiko Harada clearly captured her psychological fluctuations and spoke even more fiercely.
"By the way, I also heard that this recently divorced bitch seems to be still trying to seduce Director Fukasaku. The last two meetings were at high-end hotels, and they kept drinking until late at night. And at the same time , this shameless woman also hooked up with a fledgling photographer. She spent a lot of money to support the young man and maintained an ambiguous relationship for a long time. Can you believe it? Don’t look at her long face. She looks like a good wife, good mother, and a decent woman. In fact, her aloofness, which is unmoved by fame and fortune, is all fake. Her private life is very dissolute. Otherwise, why would she steal other people's husbands and compete with her in the first place? How about marrying a man who is younger than her? Well, on the one hand, she is looking for young men to serve her. On the other hand, she is willing to spend a lot of money on young men in exchange for money. It’s disgusting. She thinks she is a La Traviata. Does she think she is living in Paris in the last century? No wonder her husband goes out to fool around every day. Who can stand such a woman..."
hear Michiko Harada kept instigating and slandering, talking about those erotic incidents about Ayumi Ishida that she didn't know were true or false.
But the problem is, when young men were suddenly mentioned at this time, all that came to Matsumoto Keiko's mind was Ning Weimin, who was about to meet.
While making fun of others, I was secretly buying expensive watches for young men.
Still unable to achieve such a split personality, Matsumoto Keiko couldn't help but blush.
Besides, she was afraid that if she chatted for a long time, her flaws would inevitably be exposed, so she hurriedly changed the topic.
"Okay, stop talking about these unhappy things. I have to pay and leave. Do you want to buy clothes? If not, forget it. I don't have much time to stay here. . I only have half an hour for you at most.”
In this way, Michiko Harada no longer works hard for the future, but chooses to seize the immediate benefits.
"Buy and buy, my sister is the best to me. Then hurry up and check out, let's go pick it up right away. Don't worry, I won't delay your business."
"I really can't do anything about you. Which one do you want to go to soon?"
"Which one does sister usually go to? I want to buy clothes like yours..."
"Hey? The two of us It’s completely different now. Why do you want to buy something like me all of a sudden? Don’t you like avant-garde and young people?”
“Aha, to tell you the truth, I also like young people recently. A 20-year-old hairstylist came to the place where I often go to get haircuts. Today’s young people are very individual and love excitement. Boys like that one don’t like young girls, especially mature ones. Imitating one-tenth of her sister's charm will definitely charm him to death."
Hearing what Michiko Harada said, Matsumoto Keiko couldn't help but daydream about her.
How does Ning Weimin view her?
Is it new and exciting?
Or is it boring?
After all, the nine-year gap is there, and it is likely to create an insurmountable generation gap.
She was speculating over and over in her mind, but while she took out her credit card and waved to the clerk to pay, Matsumoto Keiko kept saying insincere words.
"Just now, you said that others are taking advantage of all ages, and you actually do such a thing again. Aren't you ashamed? You don't want your reputation anymore? If reporters really photograph you fooling around and publish it, what will you do? ?”
However, even with this serious topic, Michiko Harada still didn’t take it seriously.
"What can I do? If reporters are willing to take pictures, let them take them. To be honest, I am a second-tier actor, and I can't ask for more. Maybe with a topic, my reputation will be bigger At least I can appear on some gossip shows and earn more advertising fees. Anyway, I don’t have a regular boyfriend, and I don’t seduce married women. Who am I to be afraid of? ?”
Michiko Harada kept acting coquettishly, like a colorful snake wrapped around Matsumoto Keiko’s arm.
In desperation, Matsumoto Keiko had no choice but to keep silent.
She had to admit that the Harada Michiko in front of her was completely different from the little girl she pitied in the past.
She can chat casually all over the world, talking about things between men and women, and makes jokes about sex without blushing or heartbeat, which is far from her delicate and cute face.
Judging from her communicative skills, she is so sophisticated and skillful that she puts herself at a disadvantage.
She shouldn't be an actress, but should open a bar in Ginza and be a mama.
