[The Girls' School Teacher] (Episode 15, Chapter 5)

Chapter Five: The Celebrity Banquet

September is the start of the school year. Following Sakura Academy's tradition,

registration usually begins around September 18th, with classes starting on the 25th. The little beauties had agreed to arrive before the 20th, so their

return . They were quite impatient, but due to the recent events in Japan

, their parents, worried about their safety, hadn't let them run around. It's said that Haru was

so bored she even learned to fish, showing how dull their lives were.

Their daily phone calls were indispensable. From their tender words, I clearly felt their

attachment and deep love. Having spent this time together, I too had fallen in love with these adorable girls

. How could

I possibly give them up? I wanted both!

Looking back, I remembered that Yuri had recently become increasingly opposed to my relationship with Makoto.

I felt helpless, but I hadn't offended her!

I can only say that women's minds are too complex; even a genius like me couldn't fully fathom them.

In the following days, Walmart's offensive remained exceptionally aggressive. Low prices and unlimited supply greatly increased consumer purchasing desire,

with even many middle-class consumers joining the buying frenzy.

Every time television showed trucks loaded with goods driving away, the department store giants

couldn't help but feel conflicted, and the frequency of smashing items increased daily.

They had no better solution. Price reductions had been implemented immediately, but compared to Walmart's

cuts, prices were still too high, and they couldn't compete.

Further price reductions would not only result in huge losses but also anger shareholders and employees. Even

with massive price cuts, they couldn't compete with Walmart on price. This dilemma left everyone at a loss.

Department store giants like Ito-Yokado wielded enormous influence in Japan, but they couldn't affect international supermarket chains like

Walmart . Therefore, restrictions on sourcing channels were impossible—

most of Walmart's goods were imported from neighboring countries like China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which Japanese

businesses couldn't restrict.

They wanted to pressure the government to provide special protection for Walmart, but when the time came, they

discovered that a group of vested interest groups had unknowingly gathered around Walmart,

gaining influence in Japan.

The most steadfast among them were the transportation groups.

Walmart's decision-maker, Rogers, wasn't Chinese, but he understood the policy of winning over some and suppressing others.

Therefore , he abandoned the idea of building his own logistics system in Japan, and even outsourced his sourcing channels in Southeast Asia, entrusting everything to

the Japanese transportation industry.

From large-scale shipments from overseas to Japan to the smallest details like the distribution of goods between eight stores, Walmart outsourced everything to

local Japanese transportation companies. From early inventory preparation to now, they've made a fortune, with each company's revenue

increasing by 50% to 100%.

And this was just the beginning. Rogers told the directors and chairmen of the major transportation groups that in the future,

Walmart branches would be spread throughout every corner of Japan, and the logistics systems for at least one hundred branches would

still be handled by them.

If eight branches could generate such profits, imagine the profits from one hundred!

The transportation companies, hoping for a better tomorrow, quickly faltered, vehemently supporting

Walmart and standing against their own compatriots.

It's no wonder they were so disloyal; they had suffered greatly.

The six major conglomerates' numerous subsidiaries were focused on overseas expansion, making a fortune abroad! But

these local transportation companies had never seen much growth. Those companies established overseas,

like Walmart, relied on local logistics systems, preventing them from getting a share of the profits. This created the strange situation of them being neither

well off nor starving.

Now that they finally had a chance to make money, they didn't care about others' reactions—

did they think of us when you were making money?

Furthermore, the citizens who enjoyed the low prices would surely

protest if things returned to normal. The government's biggest fear is public unrest, as it provides the opposition with ammunition. Mori Yoshiro

was already a cause for concern enough; the Liberal Democratic Party didn't want any more turmoil.

With their requests for government support unsuccessful, the major players in the department store retail industry could only watch Walmart's business

boom day after day. Admittedly, Walmart couldn't compare to the luxury of major department stores;

it had almost no mid-range or higher-end items, let alone high-end goods. However, in any society, over 90%

of the population is from the lower classes, and they constitute the largest consumer group. They

couldn't afford mid-to-high-end goods anyway, so Walmart's offerings were sufficient to satisfy them.

While mid-to-high-end products offer astonishing profits, everyone knows that the real money is made

on products . Walmart grasped this point, and perhaps this is one of the main reasons for their success!

A week quickly passed, and Walmart's public relations director once again stood at the press conference,

announcing the latest sales figures: Walmart Japan's seven-day sales reached 35 billion

yen . Encouraged by this great news, Walmart President Mr. Rogers decided

to hold a grand gala at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo the next day, Tuesday, September 5th,

inviting to celebrate Walmart's initial victory.

Compared to Walmart's high-profile opening, Sogo's opening of its fourteen branches was much more low-key.

While extensive advertising was undeniable, the September 1st opening wasn't flashy; it relied solely on substantial

discounts to attract customers. Kansai region is generally richer in produce than Kanto, and Yuri's

family's influence is immense. Even before Sogo opened, she had already secured a large supply of goods,

giving her a price advantage. Although Yuri was reluctant, she followed my instructions, selling at a maximum of 20%

profit margin, with various discounts at different times, making

it more than 15% cheaper than other department stores. This greatly stimulated the shopping desires of discerning housewives.

Besides price discounts, the performance-based bonus policy greatly motivated

the staff at the branches. Department heads, needless to say, were always on the front lines with smiles on their faces. Even the branch

managers day helping out in the sales area. Seeing even the managers working tirelessly every day,

everyone's trust in Sogo gradually increased.

Sogo is, after all, a nearly century-old brand that originated in the Kansai region. So, once the strategy was adjusted,

focusing on genuine discounts and a friendly attitude towards customers, foot traffic slowly began to increase.

The sales figures for the past few days showed a slow upward trend, and being able to win back

so many customers from other department stores was already quite gratifying.

The invitations Rogop sent out were immediately given to Lily, who came to

my house with a troubled expression.

"Go, why not?" I said to her with a smile. "It's rare for someone to invite us to dinner, especially at the Imperial

Hotel . Wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't go?"

"All you ever think about is food," Lily said bitterly. "They've been attacking me so badly lately. If

I'm with those department store retail people, they'll say all sorts of nasty things."

"Didn't you say they were afraid to do anything because of your grandmother?" "

Please, my dear Mr. Liu, that was before it affected their core interests. Now we're

considered Walmart's accomplices. Even if they don't dare do anything to me,

how ?" At this point, the stunning beauty glared at me and said, "I don't care. If we're going, it has to be

you coming with me. Anyway, you're the one who started this Walmart thing."

I chuckled. Lily's intentions weren't just to vent her frustrations or find a scapegoat.

In fact, this beauty was very clever. She didn't want me to embarrass herself;

she knew that with me by her side, the situation would be very different.

It's simple. Liu Junxiong isn't just a teacher at Sakura Academy anymore. Behind me

is a super-powerful, all-powerful doctor—Mr. Nak. Just because Mr. Nak only has one friend like me

, everyone else has to treat me with utmost respect. Otherwise, if you have a sudden illness, you'll have to wait patiently according to the rules;

Mr. Nak won't make an exception for you. Yuri rarely had such a subtle thought. While deliberately putting on a fierce

expression was also proving that she was under immense pressure lately, so much so that she wanted someone to rely on—well,

you could say someone to act as a shield .

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow night," I readily agreed.

September 5th, Tuesday, 7 PM.

At the entrance of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, flashbulbs had been flashing incessantly for an hour, wasting

countless rolls of film.

But all the wasted film was worthwhile, because they photographed many

important figures they wouldn't normally see. More importantly, they all brought their wives, turning this party

hosted by into a family banquet.

To be honest, the president of Walmart alone wouldn't be enough to invite so many celebrities and true

aristocrats . Rogup knew this, so he specially invited a business delegation from the United States.

Several heavyweight figures were among them, and it was precisely because of them that these Japanese nobles gave them face. The delegation consisted of:

Doherty Delon, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce;

Colin Powell; and

Donald Rumsfeld.

The business delegation comprised thirty-eight people, led by the current U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce. The others

were all senior figures from the private and political spheres. However, the focus wasn't on Mr. Doherty Delon

, but rather on the other two individuals on the invitation list who held no official position.

Colin Powell, the first African American four-star general in U.S. history and the highest

-ranking , retired in 1993.

Donald Rumsfeld, the youngest Secretary of Defense in U.S. history,

stepped down in 1977.

Although these two individuals are no longer active in the military or political arena, their influence has never waned, and

they are highly respected by successive presidents and military and political figures.

According to the latest news, the incoming US President George W. Bush intends to bring them

back into the political arena; Rumsfeld is expected to remain Secretary of Defense, while Powell is likely

to become Secretary of State.

Even the notoriously arrogant Japanese

aristocracy It's even rumored that high-ranking officials from the Liberal Democratic Party might attend

the banquet in a private capacity.

Lily and I, unlike the others, didn't make a big show of it. Instead, we drove directly into the underground parking lot

and were led by staff to the American restaurant on the 23rd floor. American architecture is

somewhat of a hodgepodge, incorporating Italian Renaissance style, French romanticism, and

the austere grandeur of German architecture… much like the diverse ethnicities of the country, a

typical immigrant nation.

This eclectic American style is also reflected in the American restaurant of the Empire Hotel. Hundreds of massive

, white jade -like pillars supported the spacious, high-ceilinged restaurant. The surrounding decor was simple yet bright, adorned with

European oil paintings and sculptures, along with pieces of armor and longswords.

The restaurant, originally capable of seating over a hundred tables, had been completely cleared out, replaced by long tables

typical , laden with delicacies from around the world. The food and drinks alone

cost millions of dollars, making it incredibly luxurious. However, what truly captivated the eye was not the food itself, but

the people gathered around the tables.

A considerable

number not numerous, were very conspicuous due to their height. A Black man and an elderly white man, in particular,

were surrounded by a large group of people, like stars around the moon.

As for the Deputy Minister of Commerce, only in his forties, a young and promising elite official, although

surrounded by many wealthy and aristocratic individuals, his status was clearly less than that of the other two.

The Deputy Minister himself didn't seem to care much. Those two were destined for high positions in the White House;

why should he compete for attention? It was better to cooperate obediently and advance further in the future. The aristocratic ladies

were equally eager to join in, mingling familiarly with the wives of the delegation members. The whole scene was lively and

bustling , a picture of prosperity. Lily and I entered through a side door. Handsome men and beautiful women naturally attract more

attention, and I even saw a few familiar faces, such as Takahashi Shizuka, Hiraiwa Ichimi, and Tendo Shumi—all

mothers of my students.

Takahashi Shizuka, speaking fluent English, was chatting happily with a middle-aged Black woman. She only glanced at me briefly

before continuing her conversation as if she didn't know me. Hiraiwa Ichimi, Tendo Shumi, and the other beautiful women

, however, nodded at me amicably, indicating they knew who I was.

The growth in knowledge and demeanor of the thirteen beautiful girls over the past six months has been remarkable, so

their mothers are naturally very grateful to me, their dedicated teacher.

The treatment Lily received was completely different from mine. Many people cast angry and contemptuous glances at me, making

me uncomfortable, let alone the gentle, kind, yet not at all forceful, beautiful

young woman .

Feeling Lily's delicate body tremble slightly, a surge of tenderness welled up within me. I reached out and embraced the beautiful

young woman's slender waist.

The beautiful young woman trembled slightly, stealing a glance at me. Seeing me still smiling and looking around, she

suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The next moment, a warm current flowed from my hand, spreading from her waist throughout her entire body, warm

and comforting.

"Don't worry, I'm here with you," I said, gently tightening my grip and whispering in her ear.

"Mmm," Lily's ears flushed crimson.

"By the way, wasn't it said that only thirty-eight Americans came? How come I see at least a hundred?" I

asked in a low voice, trying to put her at ease with a question.

"Since Powell and Rumsfeld are here, how could the officials from the US Embassy in Japan not come?

The group at the Okinawa base used to be Powell's subordinates, how could they not come to see their old boss? Besides,

American are very good at grasping information back home. Facing two

figures who could potentially be the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, it's always good for them to come and curry favor in advance." Lily analyzed these things quite logically. "

So, it turns out that flattery is equally natural for both white and yellow people!" I

exclaimed. "Now that everyone's here, it's just a matter of who can flatter the loudest."

"Pfft..." Lily found it amusing and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her laughter, however, aroused the resentment of some people who were already dissatisfied with her, and also fueled their

determination to find fault.

"Mrs. Fujiki."

Just as we walked to the side and were about to grab a drink, a middle-aged man who was not tall but rather

stocky greeted us with a forced smile.

Lily looked up and quickly said, "Ah, Mr. Yamamoto, hello."

The middle-aged man smiled coldly, "You're the one who's 'good,' I'm not."

Lily was prepared for his blunt sarcasm. She took a deep breath and said,

"Mr. Yamamoto, I know you're complaining about me because of Walmart, but business is business. Please don't

take it out on me."

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, "So, Mrs. Fujiki means that in order to make money, you don't even

care who you are?"

Lily's expression changed, "Mr. Yamamoto, what do you mean?"

"Oh, nothing, just wanted to remind Mrs. Fujiki that you are still Japanese, and your family

's businesses aren't just limited to SOGO. Don't let a small SOGO business interfere with your other businesses

." The middle-aged man raised his glass, "Today isn't the right time to talk about these things. I suppose I'm not even in Mrs. Fujiki's

eyes , but you'd better watch yourself."

With that, he turned and left. Throughout his conversation with Lily, he hadn't even glanced at me, completely

ignoring me.

Coincidentally, I knew this Mr. Yamamoto. He was among the people who had booked medical checkups recently.

I remember his information form listed him as: Yamamoto Nakanobu, male, 48 years old,

Director and President of Keio Department Stores under Keio Corporation.

Keio Corporation, originating from the Fuji Group, has a very large and complex system. However, among its

43 subsidiaries, Keio Department Stores is a relatively insignificant part, with only

two stores: Shinjuku and Seiki Sakuragaoka. Although its performance is good, its scale has never been able to expand, so Yamamoto Nakanobu has remained in

a semi-famous, half-famous position.

Now, even such a minor figure can provoke Yuri. Firstly, it shows that she has offended the department store retail industry

very badly. Secondly, it also indicates that someone hired Yamamoto Nakanobu to pave the way, and more fierce difficulties and accusations

are yet to come.

I handed Yuri a glass of wine. Yuri forced a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

As a doctor, I know that wine has a unique effect on soothing nerves. Lily isn't

a heavy drinker, and drinking so much will slow her thinking down a bit.

Today's main focus is on Powell and Rumsfeld, and Lily had no intention of joining in the fun. She casually

found a place to sit down, but unexpectedly, the troublemakers came again.

This time, two people came together. I recognized both of them from the files: an ordinary-looking elderly man was

Marui's representative director, Iwamatsu Sanriku, and the other, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was Hiroki

Hirono, the president of Isetan Department Store.

Iwamatsu Sanriku, with an air of superiority, immediately questioned, "Ms. Lily, what are your thoughts on

our ?"

Lily's eyes dimmed. The repeated accusations made this gentle beauty very

uncomfortable . Although she knew she hadn't done anything wrong, the criticism from so many people still made her feel guilty.

Even after we sat down, I didn't let go of Lily's arm. Seeing that she was about to speak, I gently pulled her arm,

signaling for me to speak.

I said to the gloomy old man, "Sir, I suggest you ask Rogup directly about your question."

"Sir, I believe he would be happy to answer your questions."

"Who are you?" Hiroki Hirono frowned upon hearing this. "Yuri, Takashi hasn't been gone for long.

Is it appropriate for you to be like this?"

There was only a vague feeling between Yuri and me, and it had never reached the point of being public.

Now she knew that I was protecting her, which was why she let me hold her.

Hearing this, the beautiful young woman's body trembled slightly, and she showed signs of struggling, but I held her tightly, preventing

her from retreating.

I replied calmly, "I am Yuri's friend. As for being a widow after her husband's death,

when happen? Even the Fujiki family hasn't said anything. What are you meddling in?"

"Hmph, young man, I hope you're not just good at empty words." Hiroki Hirono still

had . "We elders are talking to Yuri, and it's not your place to interrupt."

He also gave me a taste of his own medicine.

I retorted defiantly, "Excuse me, I'm Yuri's personal consultant. If you're just having a casual chat, I

naturally won't interfere. But if it's a business matter, I have the right to answer on her behalf." "

Such arrogance!" Iwamatsu Sanriku laughed, a laugh devoid of any genuine smile. "It's because of

people acts this way. Yuri,

the old lady has taught countless people throughout her life; why don't you learn from her elegance, grace, and strong sense of responsibility?"

I answered on Yuri's behalf again, "I'm sorry, sir, but if doing business relies on charity and

sympathy , on making money through 'when the cat's away, the mice will play,' then I have nothing to say. Oh, by the way,

do you understand the meaning of this Chinese idiom?"

Iwamatsu Sanriku's face flushed with anger. The Japanese are very fond of Chinese culture; the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang and Song

poetry, etc., have always been essential reading. For someone as learned as him, asking if he

understands Chinese idioms is tantamount to a provocation: "Sir, do you even know how to eat?"

Through several exchanges, Hiroki Hirono knew that it was impossible to win against this young man verbally

. Now, he could only rely on his status to intimidate her and force Yuri to fight him.

"Toshio..."

Hiroki Hirono was about to speak when several soft and clear girlish voices

rang out .

Before the two could turn around, a fragrant breeze swept by, and several beautiful girls, some charming and sexy, others alluring and

seductive rushed past them and stood in front of Yuri and the man.

Looking at the four beautiful girls who came over with surprise, Koharu, Eri, Chikage, and Midori, my beautiful little wives

were all here.

"Why are you here?" I said with a smile, "Isn't school still more than half a month away?"

"Hehe, it's so boring at home. It's rare to have a chance to get out of the house, so we ran out to play..."

the doll- like beauty said playfully, and she even blinked her eyes gently. This intimate gesture immediately made

Yuri frown.

Lily wouldn't understand the implication from her concubine; she meant she wanted to be with me tonight.

I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that I had worked hard enough to completely open my Ren and Du meridians two days ago, allowing my true energy

to flow endlessly and genuinely rise a level. Otherwise, with my concubines by my side today, I could only

look not touch them—how pitiful that would be!

Even though she didn't understand the meaning behind Xiaochun's wink, Lily knew what was going on between us, and she couldn't help but feel

a little unhappy.

"Junxiong, what are you talking about with Lily-neechan?" Eri's husky voice sounded sexy yet

innocent : "We're so bored, let's listen too."

"Cough...cough..." The neglected department store duo, of course, recognized the four beautiful

girls blocking their way; otherwise, they would have been furious long ago. But unfortunately, none of these four beauties were people they

could mess with.

So, coughing was a way to save face. Iwamatsu Sanriku forced a smile: "

Miss Chikage, what brings you here? Has Mr. Hattori arrived as well?"

The pretty and charming girl turned around, paused, clearly not recognizing him, but still politely nodded

and said , "My parents and I just arrived. They're with Mr. Powell."

"Oh, then I'll have to pay them a visit later," Iwamatsu Sanriku said respectfully. Hattori Zenkoku controlled

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and was one of the representatives of the Sengoku samurai families. He had a good relationship with the boss above Marui Department Store,

so naturally, he was someone Iwamatsu Sanriku was trying to curry favor with.

"Hehe, Miss Midori, you're here too... May I ask, are you familiar with this gentleman?" Hiroki

Hirono asked thoughtfully.

He was a sensible man; these beautiful young ladies from wealthy and noble families were always strictly disciplined. Under normal circumstances,

how could they be so openly intimate with a young man, unless…

Green chuckled softly, “Uncle Hiroki, his name is Liu Junxiong, he’s our teacher.”

“Ah? Liu Junxiong!”

The two were stunned. This name had recently become as widely

known in upper-class Japanese society as Mr. Nak. Of course, the main reason was still Mr. Nak, but everyone understood that Liu Junxiong

was Mr. Nak’s best friend. Offending him was offending Mr. Nak!

The two regretted their actions and quickly tried to make amends, but I didn’t give them the chance.

Holding Lily, I stood up, not even looking at them, and said to the little beauties, “Come,

come over here with me, tell me what you did during your summer vacation…”

Hiroki Hiroki and Iwamatsu Sanriku exchanged glances.

"Mr. Iwamatsu, we...we didn't say anything unpleasant, did we?"

"I think we did a little..."

"What are we going to do? I finally got a medical check-up scheduled for next Wednesday! It's a check-up personally overseen by Mr. Nak

!"

"What's that? How old are you? I'm already sixty! How can I not take good care of myself? I

booked for Friday...Oh no, oh no, Mr. Nak won't throw a tantrum like that, will he?"

"Who knows! He wouldn't even stay in such a nice place like America, but instead came to Japan. I knew he was a very

individualistic person . No, I'll go find Mr. Takahashi later and ask Ms. Midori to put in a good word for me."

"That's a good idea, I'll go find Mr. Hattori too!"
