Now, Nanako was recovering in Kyoto. Hiroshi went to Oskia the other day to look for medicine for her but was unsuccessful. So, he returned to Tokyo to report back to Yahiko and then stayed in Tokyo. 3
In addition to the Lexus sedan that Yahiko was riding, there were ten bodyguards in two Lexus SUVs sandwiching Yahiko's car in the middle in the form of a convoy as they drove to Kobayashi Pharma. 1
Inside the car, Yahiko was delighted. He analyzed Kobayashi Pharma's financial reports and market sales in the past two years and found that the company's future was very promising. He was certain that it was definitely the best time to take a stake in the company now.
Therefore, in his opinion, the 4.5 billion dollar investment in Kobayashi Pharma was like Jake planting magical beans in his backyard. The future harvest was at least 15 billion dollars or more. 15 billion dollars was equivalent to 1.5 trillion yen! ~i
No one could sit still and hold back their excitement when the thought of such a large fortune was floating i n their mind.
Despite his excitement, Yahiko suddenly sighed and lamented, "I wonder what has happened to Jiro. How can a living human being disappear into thin air just like that?" 6
Equally puzzled, Hiroshi said, "Jiro-san came to see Nanako-san before the finals and said that he would watch her compete. He seemed to look forward to presenting her with the award after the finals..."
"However, he did not show up on the day of the finals. He was originally the guest of honor for the finals award ceremony, but because of his unexpected absence, the organizers temporarily asked someone else to present the award..." 1
"I've always felt that this matter is rather baffling and mysterious. Logically speaking, Jiro-san would never miss the finals judging from his feelings to Nanako-_ _ _ H san.
Yahiko sighed. "Well, I was hoping to make him my son-in-law, but now that he is missing..."
With a pause, he continued with a hint of desolation o n his face, "Nanako is not doing so well herself now. I wonder how long it will take for her to recover..."
Hiroshi quickly answered, "Mr. Chairman, I've asked someone to help contact some of the American experts to see if we can invite them to come over and treat Nanako-san." 3
"Good." Yahiko nodded. "Make sure you bring the best expert in the world. I don't mind spending my fortune on it!"
