"How can this be done, Miss Ma is going to be my dance partner." Koji also has great ambitions for Marin, and of course he won't let Mamori succeed, so he raised an objection right away.

Mamoru glanced at Koji, and sneered:

"Did Miss Ma promise you?"

"Then Miss Ma won't promise you!" Koji said without showing weakness.

Watching Koji and Mamoru fight over how to act as their dance partner, Marin didn't say anything, instead his eyes wandered, looking for someone to work with.

"Marlin!"

At this moment, Marin heard someone calling his name, and when he looked back, he saw Sumitomo.

It is only natural for Sumitomo to appear at this banquet, because as an important member of the Sumitomo Foundation and the person in charge of Sumitomo Corporation, Sumitomo has a high status in the Toei business community, and it is natural that he can be invited to this banquet.

"You're here too?" Marin smiled at Sumitomo who came to him.

Sumitomo said with a hearty smile:

"Yes, I heard that the daughters of the major families of Toei will be in attendance, so I came here, of course, I am representing Sumitomo Corporation."

"I know you're not at ease." Marin laughed.

Sumitomo looked at the old man Iwasaki over there, and whispered to Marin:

"You're here with the old ghost?"

Marin nodded, and Sumitomo gave her an understanding look.

Sumitomo knows the relationship between Marin and Yataro Iwasaki, so he naturally knows that the seemingly harmonious relationship between Marin and the Iwasaki family is actually a turbulent undercurrent.

But at the same time, the people around him were surprised by the relationship between Marin and Sumitomo, including the two brothers Iwasaki Sanosuke and Iwasaki Kuya.

Because the Sumitomo Foundation is one of the six major consortia of Toei, although the Iwasaki family controls the Mitsubishi Foundation, they know which family is bullish from the name!

The Zhuyou Consortium belongs to the Sumitomo family, but the Mitsubishi Consortium is not called the Iwasaki Foundation, so when it comes to fighting alone, the Sumitomo family and the Iwasaki family are also between the best, and the former is the real wealthy family with the longest history in Dongying and more than 400 years of inheritance!

And Sumitomo is not only a very important heir in such a powerful family, but also the head of Sumitomo Corporation!

Rich sons like Ryosuke, Koji, and Ishibashi Mamoru are also slightly inferior to Sumitomoo.

But Marin was able to make friends with such a character, and it seemed that he had a good relationship, which really surprised the people around him.

The relationship between Marin and Sumitomo is actually far more than everyone present imagined.

After all, when he was in Los Angeles before, Sumitomo and Marin experienced the big turmoil together, and they could be regarded as having shared hardships. Marin has very few confidants and friends, Kazuo Kazuo Kazumu is counted as one, Sumitomo is also counted as one, and Watanabe is counted as half.

In addition, Marin has a very close working relationship with Sumitomo Corporation, which is managed by Sumitomo Tsuo. Sumitomo Corporation purchased the largest number of goods from Marin except for Mitsubishi. Compared with Mitsubishi, the cooperation between Marin and Sumitomo is much broader.

"Are you the only one in your Sumitomo Foundation?" Marin asked Sumitomo.

Sumitomo shook his head:

"No, my cousin is here too."

With that, he pouted in that direction, and when Marin turned his head, he saw a slender young man, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, with a tie around his neck, his hair combed and shiny, and a thick beard under his nose, which looked like a typical gentleman.

Sumitomo's cousin was chatting with the rest of the men with a glass of wine at this time, with a faint look on his face. Although he didn't show anything, Marin felt that there was a pride in his eyebrows, a temperament common to the children of the nobility, who always felt that he was superior and superior to everyone else.

Marin hates this kind of self-righteous person the most, so at the first sight of Sumitomo Yu's cousin, she has a sense of disgust.

"He is the son of my uncle, and his name is Yuxin." Sumitomo Xiong says:

"He is the Deputy General Manager of Sumitomo Trust, which is part of our Sumitomo Foundation, and he also has a high position in our family. At the same time, he is also one of the candidates for the heir of the Sumitomo family, and he is very popular, and many people support him. ”

Marin smiled and said:

"So, he's a competitor of yours?"

Sumitomo nodded, and Yu Guang looked over to Tomonobu, then pursed his lips and said:

"This guy is very annoying, as if he thinks he is amazing, and he always has no one in his eyes."

"There's no way, people were born with a golden key." Marin smiled:

"And since childhood, I have been pampered, I eat the best and use the best, and I have received the best education, so it's no wonder that people are proud."

Sumitomo put his hands around his chest and said:

"Didn't I come here like this, why don't you see me loved by others, and flowers bloom?"

"You don't know how to love yourself, and you're mixed with grassroots like me." Marin couldn't help but wonder.

"Cut! In my opinion, Marin, you're a lot more capable than that guy. Sumitomo said disdainfully:

"That guy can support the position of deputy general manager, it's just that his father has attracted the support of many family members, and in terms of real talent, he can't even run a small company."

Marin looked at Sumitomo with interest and teased:

"You seem to be a little prejudiced against him?"

"Of course, this guy usually swaggers." Sumitomo sneered:

"It's just that he is arrogant, he still points fingers at me, he always crosses the line, if it weren't for his father to protect him, I would have found a chance to clean him up."

Marin and Sumitomo were chatting loudly here, so the people around them didn't hear what the two of them said, but they just saw that the two of them were chatting very well, and their demeanor was very comfortable, not at all like socializing in the business field, but chatting between real friends.

This surprised many people, because the members of the old consortia and the upstart families were all proud, and they often looked down on the nouveau riche in their interactions, and often put on a high-minded posture.

However, the new wealthy people in Dongying are both dissatisfied and helpless about this, after all, most of Dongying's economy is still in the hands of the six major consortia. Although companies such as the Shenmu family and the Ishibashi family are also strong, there is still an insurmountable gap compared to the behemoths such as Sumitomo, Mitsui, Fuji and Mitsubishi!

It is surprising that Marin was able to become friends with Sumitomo Yu, a strong successor to the Sumitomo family.

"Miss Ma, Sumitomo, are you here too?"

Suddenly, another man's voice came from the door of the hall, and I saw a young man in a black suit walking over slowly, and it was Kitajima.

Kitajima is also well-known in the Toei business community, as he is highly regarded by Yataro Iwasaki, the chairman of the Mitsubishi Group, and manages the important property of the Tokyo docks.

At the beginning, Iwasaki made Kitajima the deputy general manager of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and let him manage the Tokyo docks, not only within the Iwasaki family, but also within the consortium were very shocked, and at the same time, there were many criticisms, thinking that it was very childish and irresponsible to appoint Kitajima to manage such an important Tokyo dock.
