The employees in the LV store probably haven't seen anything like this before, they don't dare to show themselves, all retreating inside.

Isn't this Tokyo?

Why does it feel like we've arrived in Europe or North America?

The riot crowd outside certainly wasn't here for a free shopping spree, otherwise, there wouldn't be time to wait for the police, they'd have already rushed in to grab things and run.

On the contrary.

They're truly law-abiding citizens.

After a few minutes of witnessing the spectacle, Tong Dan roughly understood the situation.

It turns out these people were like her previous part-time job, they were all purchasing agents, the Japanese exchange rate plummeted, who wouldn't want to seize the chance to make a big profit?

So these people refuse to sleep, coming early in the morning to stake out, some even camped out right at the door, finally waiting until the store opened, only to be thunderstruck as they were about to rush in and shop.

They originally planned to capitalize on the exchange rate, but then they were informed by the store staff that there was an urgent price adjustment.

Cutting off someone's financial source is like what?

Killing someone's parents!

The profit-driven resellers wouldn't just give up easily, regardless of whether it was an order by the Japan Government or a directive from the company above, emotions spiraled out of control, thus evolving into the current situation.

One police car could hardly control the situation.

The furious resellers, not satisfied with smashing the store, someone jumped onto the police car, stomping wildly on the windshield.

Tong Dan was highly entertained, savoring it.

Pan Yang, contrary to her, didn't enjoy watching the commotion, especially such chaos, as the conflict intensified, he couldn't help advising, "Miss Tong, shall we go?"

"Let me take a picture."

Tong Dan took out her phone, capturing the beautiful street view of Tokyo through her lens, then left with Pan Yang, somewhat reluctantly.

No need to talk about buying gifts anymore.

Prices were controlled; they couldn't gain any advantage.

Café.

The two ordered drinks, sitting at the outdoor seats to rest.

Tong Dan was still quite polite, not playing with her phone.

"Miss Tong, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask away."

Pan Yang hesitated, "...Miss Tong, how did you know Mr. Xu was Japanese?"

"You've been holding back for a long time, huh."

Tong Dan smiled casually, "Jiang Chen told me."

"Mr. Jiang?"

Pan Yang was shocked, "Why would Mr. Jiang..."

"He's very loyal, if you're friends with him, you'd know."

Tong Dan picked up her latte.

If Boss Jiang were here, he might be touched, Tong Dan was the typical tough on the outside, soft on the inside.

Her evaluation was quite fair and objective in front of outsiders, wasn't it?

"I don't have that honor."

Pan Yang showed a wry smile, "Last time we had dinner, I left in the middle..."

"It was your boss who was acting, wasn't your fault."

Tong Dan instinctively replied, then realized, looking at him, "I hope you don't mind me saying that?"

Pan Yang felt a bit awkward, silently shook his head.

"Don't take it too personally. If she chooses not to speak and deliberately hides it, it's genuinely hard for you, her subordinates, to notice."

What a nice person.

She actually started comforting him.

But she couldn't hold back for long; Tong Dan showed a gossipy look, "When you confronted her, did she explain?"

"No."

Pan Yang said softly, "Mr. Xu said one must live for their own benefits."

Today, Tong Dan was calmer, not launching a moral attack, instead, she nodded.

"Living for oneself is not wrong, but it shouldn't be at the expense of others."

I must admit, these values are spot on.

Then.

Tong Dan joked, "Didn't she ask you to stay?"

Stay?

What does that mean?

Pan Yang suddenly felt his face heat up, mumbling awkwardly.

"Come on, man, what's unspeakable, she likes you, right?"

Pan Yang's face grew even hotter.

Tong Dan found it amusing, "Apart from close kin, there's no one else in this world who would be good to you for no reason, especially between sexes. She's been so attentive to you, didn't you notice at all?"

Pan Yang immediately shook his head, quickly explained, "I've always regarded Mr. Xu as a role model to learn from, as a friend, never thought about... the issue Miss Tong you mentioned."

"So she never expressed her feelings to you in the end?"

Tong Dan continued asking, purely out of curiosity and gossip.

Pan Yang fell silent.

"Confessed?"

Tong Dan was even more interested, "How did you tell you?"

Pan Yang smiled wryly, speaking felt wrong, not speaking also felt wrong.

"...General Manager Xu asked me to go with her."

"Go? Where to?"

"To a new company, to continue being her subordinate."

Tong Dan sighed, "She really has genuine feelings for you. If you agree, getting promoted and getting a raise would be a piece of cake."

Pan Yang was noncommittal, "No matter what, I won't become a Japanese."

Tong Dan rubbed the rim of her latte, "She has liked you for so long, the blow must be harsh. No matter how successful her career is, it can't compensate for that. If I were her, I'd go to great lengths to not let you off easily."

The last sentence was surely a joke.

"What I have for General Manager Xu is just respect, and that's for the past General Manager Xu."

Pan Yang spoke quietly.

Tong Dan glanced at him and sighed, "Alright then, since you've decided, you can only go back to your country and start anew, good luck."

"Thank you, Miss Tong, for the encouragement. I'll definitely work hard."

"Pff."

Tong Dan couldn't help but laugh, "I said can you not be so serious? It's really boring. Whenever I encountered someone like you in the past, I always kept as far away as possible."

Pan Yang was embarrassed.

Tong Dan laughed and shook her head, picked up her latte, shifted her gaze away from his face, and looked at the street.

She's always been someone who can't sit idle, loves having fun, has a restless soul, it's hard to imagine she would sit with such a bloc-khead drinking coffee, not feeling bored.

Suddenly.

A formidable motorcade appeared on the road, entering Tong Dan's view.

The number of cars wasn't many, just five, and the speed wasn't flashy, yet somehow it exuded intense pressure.

The other vehicles on the road wisely made way without even needing a honk.

Miss Tong wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, she looked casually, but surprisingly, the motorcade gradually slowed down and finally stopped by the roadside outside the café, only a few steps away from them.

Here to buy coffee?

Several car doors opened.

All the disembarking were men in suits with a cold demeanor.

People sitting outside the café stood up and hastily left.

Tong Dan and Pan Yang remained unmoved.

After all, if you don't do anything guilty, you shouldn't fear ghosts knocking on your door,

They hadn't provoked anyone, what trouble could there be?

The last car door opened.

A brown leather shoe stepped out.

The suited muscle outside simultaneously bowed low.

This pomp was the right flavor.

No doubt.

The last person to step out must be someone of significance.

As the person fully emerged from the car, the moment they saw the figure, Tong Dan froze for a brief moment, then couldn't help but look toward Pan Yang.

The result was Pan Yang wore a dazed expression, and then looked toward her as well.

The brief exchange of glances clearly conveyed mutual understanding of each other's inner thoughts.

"Miss Tong..."

Pan Yang then showed a worried look.

"It's okay."

Tong Dan was calm, even took a sip of latte, and the latte didn't ripple at all, held steadily, her hand not trembling.

No wonder nearby people scattered so quickly.

Turns out Yamaguchi-gumi had arrived.

But is the Yamaguchi-gumi really that frightening?

They're very polite, aren't they?

Regarding the etiquette of professional mobsters, Tong Dan had witnessed firsthand, almost just served as a stepping board for the American soldiers.

And now the person coming surrounded by stars.

Tong Dan recognized.

It's Takagi Shouji, the one Lv Kaiyuan called to the last party.

Pan Yang surely remembers too.

Tong Dan thought it was just a coincidence, after all, the last incident was over, they were probably just here to buy coffee, but reality broke her expectations.

As a senior member of Yamaguchi-gumi, is it necessary to personally buy coffee?

"Miss Tong, he's coming."

Just as Pan Yang said.

Takagi Shouji raised his hand, all his men stopped, he walked over alone.
