Chapter 079
After get off work in the evening, Masao Ishihara walked into the best French Western restaurant in Karuizawa. Before that, he had made reservations in advance and ordered two of the most expensive sets.
It would take three or four hours to finish this French meal with sixteen courses. He not only ordered pre-dinner wine, but also white wine.
As for red wine, he chose a bottle of the yearly red wine from Mouton Villa in France in 1986. The quality is not as good as the Lafite red wine in 1982.
Only he didn't ask for champagne. He wanted to break up with Haruko Torii, which was the last supper between them.
After about ten minutes, Haruko Torii walked in and sat directly opposite Masao Ishihara. As soon as she sat down, he took out the bottle of Karuizawa 42-year whiskey he had prepared and put it in front of the other party.
“What is a good day today? Is it the anniversary of our first meeting or the anniversary of our first kiss?
Well, it won’t be the anniversary of our first time to check in a hotel, right?” Haruka Torii couldn’t help laughing as she said.
"A good day is not considered a good day." Masao Ishihara said calmly.
"You always keep timid in your daily life. Why are you so generous today?" Haruka Torii put him in front of him and held the bottle of 700 ml Karuizawa 42-year-old whiskey in her hand and looked at it again and again. She loved it so much.
Since she drank some in the last time she went to the Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery store, she still missed it.
"Let's break up! This bottle of Karuizawa 42-year-old whiskey is my last gift for you." Masao Ishihara said with a look at her sitting opposite him.
"You gave me a breakup gift, you really can't think of it. Today is not April April Fool's Day!" Haruka Torii said without taking it seriously.
"I didn't joke with you, I was serious. Your dad gave me two conditions. One was to let me marry into your Torii family, and the other was to let Karuizawa Whiskey Distillery be merged into Suntory Group.
I can't do it at all." The reason why Masao Ishihara decided to show off with her was that it was boring. Whether it was now or in the future, he could not accept the conditions offered by her father. In his personal opinion, continuing to waste such meaninglessly is unfair to Haruko Tooi.
Haruko Torii was stunned. She did not cry. It took a few minutes to slowly come to her senses. First, the Karuizawa 42-year-old whiskey he was holding was placed on the table, and then he spoke seriously: "Why are you talking half of it, but your other half doesn't say it?
Although my dad gave you these two conditions, he also gave you two corresponding compensations. One compensation is to let you enter the board of directors of Suntory Group, and the other compensation is to let you be responsible for the entire whiskey business of Suntory Group."
When Masao Ishihara heard what she said, she immediately understood. She had known from the mouth of Masaki Tooi that day what was the key conversation between her and her father.
Masao Ishihara explained: "Since I can't accept the two conditions offered by your father at all, then everything that follows is meaningless.
Only I accept the big premise proposed by your father. Just like there is no previous one, what's the use of the number of zeros behind?"
"Can't you change it for me?" Haruka Torii asked tentatively.
"How to change? If your father's two conditions do not change, I really can't change. If you want me to change, you have to change your father's ideas first."
Masao Ishihara, who had long been mature in his mind, had no idea that a young couple would be in a state of upset because of breaking up.
It’s not that Haruka Torii didn’t know that her father’s idea was also difficult to change: “I’m just stuck between you.”
"As long as you want, we can go to the ward office to receive the marriage registration for marriage early tomorrow morning." Masao Ishihara said sincerely.
Although Haruko Torii likes Masao Ishihara, she is definitely not a love brain. She will not make any urge to make any reckless urges for the love between the two.
The result you choose to be willing to, on the one hand, means betrayal of the Toui family and severing all relationships with them, and on the other hand, you will lose everything you have now.
After she and Masao Ishihara registered marriage, although she was not penniless at all, she would never live as well as she is now.
In her opinion, even if he works hard for a lifetime, he may not be able to return to the current social class.
From the perspective of the most practical interests, I not only married myself, but also saw a downward decline of social classes and classes.
In RB, the social class is already solidified, and it is difficult to go from below to top, especially the breakthrough of class barriers is even more difficult.
I put all my bets on Masao Ishihara and had to wait for a few decades, which was not worth it. If anything bad happened in the middle, I would lose even more.
What could she get? What she finally gained was nothing more than a so-called marriage to love. In contrast, what did Ishihara Masao give up? He didn't give up anything.
"Let me choose between you and your family, then I can only choose my family." Haruka Torii felt that breaking up will bring inner pain to herself.
However, the pain brought to herself by this kind of pain will slowly heal again over time. She can bear the loss of lovemaking.
Not to mention boyfriends, even if the husband is lost, you can still find them again. Family and yourself have this life, but not the next life. You cannot bear to break off relations with your family.
Masao Ishihara knows her very well, and he said no surprise to her choice: "I respect your choice. Although we cannot end up being a family, we can still continue to be ordinary friends."
Haruka Torii smiled and said, "Have you seen a few couples who broke up and still can be ordinary friends? Hypocritical."
"I'm not hypocritical, but the truth. If we don't try, how can we know it's impossible? We can still make an appointment to come out from time to time to eat, drink, and chat like this.
What's wrong with this? Is it possible that one party has to make particularly significant sacrifices reluctantly to make a particularly significant sacrifice?" Masao Ishihara more or less unable to let go of the relationship between the two.
"Apart from these, don't you want to do anything else with me?" Haruko Torii sneered.
"If you take the initiative to ask for it, I will not reject you." Masao Ishihara understood what she meant.
