"Tools? What tool? Li Guangzhi asked suspiciously. He had a vague guess in his mind about this, but he wasn't quite sure.

Mitsuko Akiyama said in a tone that was calm to the point of almost indifference: "A young and beautiful illegitimate daughter, in such a family, what tools do you think can be used?" ”

"If you're lucky, you'll probably let Yami marry the second son of a subordinate affiliated company family when she becomes an adult, or recruit her an excellent cadre in her own company."

"Although Masami is an illegitimate daughter, she can barely be regarded as a young lady of the Fujita family. It's still enough to woo some less critical connections.

"It's still a good result for Masami. And the most tragic result is that because he is young and beautiful, he is sent to a certain parliamentarian or a director of a large consortium as a personal escort! ”

When Li Guangzhi heard this, he couldn't help but scold me in his heart. His previous guess seemed to be correct, but he didn't expect to really encounter this kind of bloody plot of a wealthy family like the plot of a novel!

"Lady Akiyama, I see," he said in an uncertain tone, "I don't think things are as serious as you say, right?" After all, Masami is an independent free man, if she doesn't want to, what kind of Fujita can force her to fail?

Mitsuko Akiyama smiled helplessly and said, "Hiroshi-kun, you are a foreigner, and you have just arrived in Tokyo, so you may not know much about the energy of the Fujita family. ”

"The Fujita family is not a super-conglomerate, but it is also an established family in Tokyo. Their founder, Denzaburo Fujita, was once a close friend of the Yama Prefecture Shogun and a nobleman with the title of baron. Such a family, relying only on the legacy of its predecessors, can already have a wide range of contacts in Japan's political and business circles. ”

Fujita Kanko Co., Ltd., a company owned by the Fujita family, owns nearly 40 hotels, hot spring inns, golf resorts, and other properties throughout Japan. Moreover, it is precisely because they operate such high-end leisure and entertainment venues that the Fujita family has a very good relationship with many large Japanese conglomerates, as well as high-level political circles. ”

"With such a family background, even if Kazuyuki Fujita is only the second son in the family, it is not so difficult for him to force our mother and daughter into a corner."

"In Japan, the status of women in the workplace is very low. Therefore, even if Masami can graduate from a top university such as Tokyo University in the future, as long as Kazuyuki Fujita lets off the wind, she will definitely not be able to find a job in any regular company. Because no company would offend the Fujita family for the sake of a dispensable female employee. ”

"Guangzhijun, think about it, if Masami can't get a job in a regular company, then what else can she do? Was you bullied by a gangster when you went to a convenience store to do odd jobs? Or go to Snacurry and be a water girl? How much better can such a result be compared to being a tool for marriage? ”

Mitsuko Akiyama's words should have been a conclusion she had come to after analyzing it many times in her head, and it sounded very convincing. Li Guangzhi could only nod silently at this, but secretly remembered the name Kazuyuki Fujita in his heart. This guy should be Yami's cheap father.

After the two were relatively silent for a while, Li Guangzhi said with some hesitation: "Mrs. Akiyama, if the matter is really as serious as you say, I don't mind taking Masami back to China with me." But will Masami agree to go with me? ”

"And, Lady Akiyama." He suddenly thought of something, and asked with some confusion: "According to you, Masami has never had any good feelings for her father. If she wants to be a tool for marriage under his persecution in the future, then her heart will only be filled with hatred for the Fujita family. ”

"Wouldn't it only be counterproductive to let a daughter who is full of hatred for the Fujita family marry with other families and make connections? Didn't this cheap father of Masami think about this? ”

Mitsuko Akiyama smiled bitterly when she heard this, and replied in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Hiroshi-kun, you haven't been in contact with people from this kind of family, so you may not know their thoughts very well. In the eyes of these people, a woman is nothing more than a humanoid tool. Women's feelings and thoughts, they don't pay attention to. ”

"And, ah, hehe" she couldn't help but let out two sarcastic sneers, and continued: "In that man's opinion, his willingness to accept Masami as the daughter of the Fujita family and marry her to a man with a good family background or ability is his great favor." How could Masami hate him because of this? ”

Hearing this explanation, Li Guangzhi could only shake his head speechlessly. In his two lifetimes, the feudal paternalistic character described by Maami's mother, who is so conceited that he completely ignores the wishes of others, has really only seen it in novels and TV dramas.

But when you think about it, in a society like Japan, which is accustomed to paranoia, and in such an old-fashioned family with a strong feudal atmosphere, it may not be a strange thing that such a person will really appear in reality.

He settled down and said to Mitsuko Akiyama, "Mrs. Akiyama, the thing you told me today was a little too sudden for me. I hope you can give me a few days to think about it and see if I can find a better solution. ”

"After all, Masami is still underage now, and her cheap father shouldn't force her to marry right away, right? So I think we should still have time to make some more prudent plans on this matter. What do you think? ”

Mitsuko Akiyama bowed deeply to him and said in an apologetic tone, "Hiroshi-kun, I'm really sorry to involve you in our family's troubles. But for the sake of Maami's happiness, please forgive me for my selfishness as a mother. ”

"Guang Zhijun, you are not wrong, I am a little too impatient in this matter." She tugged behind her ears the hair that had just fallen from bending over, and paused, as if organizing the language. After a while, he continued:

"The man really didn't plan to do anything to Masami right now. He wanted Yami to finish college, preferably with a diploma from a first-class university as a foil for his identity. In that case, Masami will be more valuable to him. So, if nothing else, she should be safe until she graduates from Yami University. ”

When Li Guangzhi heard this, his mood suddenly became much lighter.

To be honest, just before Masami's mother said this, he still felt a little tricky about how to help Masami solve this problem.

In his opinion, unless he can convince Masami, and then take her back to China with him. Otherwise, you have to go against a family with such a background in Japan. In his current status, there is basically no chance of winning.

However, there are still five years left between now and the graduation of Yami University.

Five years is too much for a born-against. He believed that with the advantage of his rebirth, with the financial resources and power he could have in five years, it would definitely be easy to solve Masami's problem, and even directly acquiring the Fujita Tourism Company would not be impossible.

Relaxed, he looked around and found that there were already staff in the hall who were starting to organize the audience to go upstairs to enter. He turned his head to look at Mitsuko Akiyama and said in a confident tone:

"Mrs. Akiyama, since there are still five years to go, we don't have to worry about this matter all the time, we still have to grasp the current life first. In these five years' time, I will definitely solve this trouble for Yami. Don't worry! ”

"Look, the game is about to start, so let's go cheer for Masami first."

After the match, Lee and Mitsuko Akiyama walked out of the venue and waited at the staircase on the third floor to meet Masami.

The two had a tacit understanding and no longer mentioned the previous topic, but chatted casually about Fang Cai Yamei's performance in the game.

After a while, Masami walked after the tutor from the contestants' area. The little girl looked deaf and pulled her head in frustration, presumably disappointed that she had not won the first place.

Li Guangzhi greeted him, rubbed Yami's head and comforted: "Yami-chan, cheer up, don't look like you're downcast!" ”

"Let me tell you, Yami, your performance on stage today is very good, especially the last paragraph of the sentence, which is very imposing. Brother Guangzhi: I heard it below, and my hairs stood up with excitement. Moreover, the judges and the audience gave you warm applause at that time, which shows that everyone appreciates your strength! ”

Masami broke her head out from under his hands, rolled her eyes slightly, and muttered, "What's the use of just applauding, it's not like I didn't win the first place in the end." ”

"Stupid!" Li Guangzhi knocked lightly on her head, and said with a smile: "If you don't win the first place, it doesn't mean that your strength is not good, it's just that the opponent is too strong." ”

"Your mother and I were watching the game from the audience when we heard someone next to me say it. The guy who won the first place was sent by Meiji High School, and his father was a diplomat at the United Nations, and he lived in the United States for more than ten years before returning to Japan. It's perfectly normal for you to lose to such a guy in English. ”

"Besides, in addition to winning the second place, didn't you also win a special judge's award? The other players don't have the same honor as you. ”

Mitsuko Akiyama watched their conversation with a smile on the sidelines. Yami is still a girl in the end, and after being comforted by Li Guangzhi for a few words, she quickly regained some liveliness. She walked up to her mother, took her arm and said coquettishly:

"Oh Kasan, what should I do? If you don't get the first place, you won't be able to get the exemption from admission to Tokyo University and Morning University! Wouldn't my senior year of high school be in the middle of a hellish cram school career? It's so miserable, so miserable! I don't want it! ”

Mitsuko Akiyama reached out to help her comb her long hair that had just been rubbed by Li Guangzhi, and said with a gentle smile: "Yami, your performance today is good enough, and my mother is very proud of you." As for Todai and Zaoda, of course it's good to be able to enter, and if you can't get in, you don't have to force yourself too much. It's all about you having fun, you know? ”

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing gold-wire glasses walked out of the door of the venue. Come this way.

The man walked to the staircase and was about to go downstairs when he noticed Li Guangzhi and the three of them standing aside. He hesitated, retracted his steps, turned around and walked to the three of them, and asked Masami, "Excuse me, are you Akiyama Masami, the contestant in the competition just now?" ”

At this time, Masami hurriedly stood up straight from her mother's side, bowed a little panicked, and replied, "Hi Yi, hello Professor Hashimoto!" I'm Masami Akiyama, so please take care of me! ”

Professor Hashimoto smiled very gently and complimented, "Akiyama-san, the content of your speech today touched on a lot of international financial aspects, and you also had your own thoughts on the bursting of Japan's economic bubble, which impressed me very deeply. Among high school students, it is very rare to have a child with a broad horizon like you. ”

After speaking, he turned to Mitsuko Akiyama and said, "This lady should be Akiyama-san's mother, right?" Let me introduce myself, my name is Takanori Hashimoto, and I am a judge of this competition and a professor of the Department of International Political Economy at Waseda University. ”

"I think Akiyama is very talented in international economics, and although she didn't win the first place in this competition, I would also like to provide her with an early exemption from admission. This is my business card, you can choose to call me at a convenient time to make an appointment, and we will discuss the process in detail at that time. ”

Mitsuko Akiyama took the business card with some excitement, and the two of them hurriedly bowed deeply and thanked them.

After Professor Hashimoto said goodbye and went downstairs, Masami came back to her senses from the surprise she couldn't believe, she was so excited that she grabbed Li Guangzhi's arm and jumped and jumped, shouting happily.

"Great! It's early morning, I can get into early age! Brother Guangzhi, those things you taught me are so powerful! Even the early economics professor was impressed! ”

Li Guangzhi looked at Yami with a smile and said in his heart: "The reasons for the bursting of Japan's economic bubble have long been analyzed by many economists in later generations. What I'm telling you is the best of all. It's not normal for these things to come out of the mouth of a little girl in your high school and shock a professor who is a senior student. ”

He took out his arm from Masami's hand, took the Chanel shopping bag out of the plastic bag, handed it to Masami, and said with a smile:

"Masami-chan, I originally thought that this gift would be given to you as a consolation prize for not winning first place. Unexpectedly, you were lucky enough to get the first prize with your own strength. Then this little gift is a good gift to celebrate that you can finally achieve your dreams. ”
