"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 and did not speak, but secretly remembered the name Kazuyuki Fujita in his heart. This guy should be Masami's 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? ”

"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 still disappointed that she didn't win the first place.

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

"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 his head out from under his hand, rolled her eyes slightly, and muttered, "What's the use of just applauding, it's not that 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 from Meiji High School, and his father was a diplomat at the United Nations. It's not normal for people to come back to Japan, where they have lived in the United States for more than ten years, and their English is stronger than yours. ”

"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 encouraged 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 Early University! Then my senior year of high school will be in hell of a 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, but if you can't get in, don't 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. 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 retracted his steps, turned around and walked over to the three of them, and asked Masami, "Excuse me, are you Akiyama Masami-san?" ”

At this time, Masami hurriedly stood up straight from her mother's side, bowed a little panicked, and replied, "Hi Yi, Professor Hashimoto!" I'm Masami Akiyama. ”

Professor Hashimoto smiled gently and complimented, "Akiyama-san, I am very impressed by the content of your speech today that touched on a lot of international finance. Among high school students, it is very rare to have a child with a broad horizon like you. ”
