Chapter 224: A Chance
Yui Natsukawa took the initiative to get up and leave, leaving this place to their father and daughter. As for what to eat, she will go to Zhang Luo for them.
deliberately went into the back kitchen to see her own chef and asked the other party to take charge of the cook. Even the last dessert has to be taken care of.
The distinguished guest who came tonight is not only one of the top ten chaebols in Japan that is rare to see, but also her only confidante.
Mitsuki Kudo drank a sip of RomanΓ©e Conti in the red wine glass, and said seriously: "Shuichi has nothing to do all day long, and it's not a game."
If he lives without a goal like this, the whole person will be wasted. Dad, are you arranging something for Shuichi to do? β
Masao Ishihara smiled and said bluntly: "Tonight, this is your ultimate goal!" β
Mitsuki Kudo did not deny it: "Shuichi has always been my half-brother. Even if he made mistakes in the past, it doesn't mean that he has to bear it for the rest of his life! β
Ishihara Masao said calmly: "Even you personally interceded for him, so I will arrange a thing for him to do."
Then let Shuichi re-enter the university to study for a master's degree. In this way, he doesn't have to mess around and has something to do? β
Mitsuki Kudo explained her personal disapproval with a serious face: "Today, not only higher education, but even other education is no longer just for cultivating elite talents or professional and technical personnel.
It's becoming more and more like a business. For many college students, the purpose of studying for a master's degree has become not for further study, but to delay the pressure of employment.
Nowadays, the depreciation of academic qualifications is becoming more and more severe. I hope that Dad Ling can arrange a suitable job for Shuichi. How about you just give him a chance? β
Masao Ishihara didn't say anything, and said, "I can give him a chance." If he can do it, then it will be the best. When the time comes, I will not fail to support him in the ascendancy.
If he doesn't want to do it well, I can't blame me. This is the only chance, and there will be no second chance. On this point, you need to make it clear to Shuichi and your mother. β
Mitsuki Kudo nodded heavily and said, "Understood." Thank you Dad. β
Masao Ishihara picked up the red wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank the red wine inside. His son still lacks courage and backbone.
If he were Hideki Ishihara, he would not take the initiative to ask for help or borrow the mouth of others, but would first go to the society to go on his own. And so it is.
I am not disappointed in Shuichi Kudo. He does have a little cleverness, but he doesn't know that in today's social environment, he can't make a name for himself by relying on his own strength.
Masao Ishihara saw that Shuichi Kudo wanted to make a personal career in his heart. Otherwise, he could lie flat without any financial pressure and continue to mess around.
Under normal circumstances, even if Shuichi Kudo entered a large-scale company, he could only start from the grassroots social animal. No background, no resources, no connections...... If you're not about forty years old, don't think about it at the level of section chief.
Even so, only a small number of people are able to become middle-level cadres. As for most of the remaining people, once they reach middle age, there is a high probability that they will either be assigned, marginalized, or laid off.
That's how the midlife crisis came. Even if it is retained, nine times out of ten it will not get the respect that the younger generations deserve.
It's not difficult for Masao Ishihara to guess that Shuichi Kudo understood this early, and instead of working so hard and getting nothing, it's better to wait for an opportunity.
Who let him have such a good father as himself? No matter what time it is, having a good father is the best way to live your life.
Mitsuki Kudo took the initiative to pick up the crystal gooseneck bottle, poured some red wine into her father's empty cup and said, "Although Shuichi doesn't have any great wisdom, he still has some cleverness." β
Masao Ishihara smiled slightly: "That little cleverness of Shuichi...... I never had much hope for him. Mitsuki, do you want to go to Karuizawa Insurance? As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. β
Mitsuki Kudo put down the crystal gooseneck bottle in her hand and said solemnly: "Dad, I am extremely satisfied with my current work and life. β
Masao Ishihara knew that she was just going to stay out of the matter and said, "You are a child! β
Mitsuki Kudo first smiled, and then said, "Dad, you once taught me not to try to break the existing balance.
Unless you have extraordinary strength. Otherwise, you will only become a victim. I asked myself again and again if I didn't have extraordinary strength. β
Ishihara Masao smiled again and said, "Your move is to use my shield to defend against my spear." β
Mitsuki Kudo said directly: "I have always been a daughter, not a man." If I were your son, I would gladly accept it. Even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about the line that I will build up in the future.
In 10,000 steps, even if I become the president of Karuizawa Insurance, I will have more power. In fact, you also know that I have no ambition in the first place, and I am not interested in the desire for power.
The person I admire the most is Aunt Yui. So far, she is not married and has no children, but she is still living a good and free life. Have you ever seen her regret? Not at all! β
Masao Ishihara pointed out, "As your biological father, I don't want you to be the next Yui. She chose such a way of life on her own initiative, and you are different.
You're not forced, but you have an escape. Could it be that after so many years, you still haven't come out of that relationship? β
Mitsuki Kudo didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Dad, have you forgotten Aunt Haruka?" β
Masao Ishihara understood what she meant, and said, "You're completely changing concepts. β
Mitsuki Kudo shook her head and said, "No, absolutely not." At the beginning, the gap between the two of you was quite large. She's the daughter of the famous Suntory Group, and you're just the son of a small brewery owner. β
Masao Ishihara was full of persuasion and said: "What you said is only one aspect, and it is still quite secondary. For one, Haruka and you are not the same kind of person at all. Your Aunt Haruka is definitely not a love brain, but you are.
Second, Haruka's father is not me at all. The conditions proposed by the other party back then were not only harsh, but in my personal opinion, as long as there is a little bit of backbone and blood, a man will not accept it.
Let me join the Torii family, let me hand over the ancestral business of the Ishihara family, how is it possible? All along, I have unconditionally supported your relationship.
Third, don't blame your mother for resolutely opposing it. Your ex-boyfriend loves you as long as he has an iron head...... On the other hand, you have the same problem. If you look at Princess Mako and Kei Komuro, you should understand. β
