Chapter 650: Member of Parliament Kanai's Reception (Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)

In the evening, Chen Yu arrived at the Ryotei (Restaurant/tea house) as arranged, where Member of Parliament Kanai was already waiting inside the room.

This type of venue, which originated during the Edo Period and was used by feudal lords to conspire out of sight of the Shogunate's spies, has become a characteristic of Japanese culture. To this day, it has become the perfect place for secret negotiations between politicians and businessmen, with countless clandestine deals and shady agreements reached in such settings.

Even Chen Yu was here tonight to engage in a secret scheme with Member of Parliament Kanai.

"Mr. Chen Yu has arrived, please have a seat!" exclaimed Kanai enthusiastically as he saw Chen Yu walk in, "This Ryotei is an old establishment, famed since the Meiji Era – even Kido Takayoshi and Okubo Toshimichi patronized it and couldn't stop praising its Kaiseki cuisine!"
