Wakayama Prefecture, Wakayama City, Japan. The city's most famous tourist attraction in Japan is Wakayama Mountain Castle. Other than that, there is basically not much left.

Shuichi Kudo stood in front of the gate of Wakayama City Hall, with his suitcase next to him, looking at it with a reluctant face.

The reason why he came to this city, which he called a rural place, was not a tourist at all, let alone a conscious voluntariness, but a forced helplessness.

One of the jobs his father assigned to him was to come here to be a secretary to the mayor of Wakayama City. He was resistant to his job.

Kudo Shuichi couldn't refuse, and one of the main reasons why he couldn't come was that he was afraid of the severe economic sanctions that his mother would impose on him.

My mother has made it clear to him that if you don't go to work in Wakayama City, you will directly stop your credit card.

When he went to work in Wakayama City, he would increase the limit of 1 million yen per month for his credit card supplement card to 2 million yen.

Kudo Shuichi knows that his mother is iron-hearted this time. Whatever you say yourself, it won't be useful. He has no interest in the Kansai region, a city of only 400,000 people.

Tokyo is a cosmopolitan city with a population of more than 13 million. If you include the Tokyo metropolitan area, it has a population of 37 million. Across the sea from Wakayama Prefecture is Shikoku Island.

In his opinion, Shikoku Island is even more of a rural village. Karuizawa, where he was born, is a local, even if there are only 19,000 people, and his per capita annual income is completely high in the 23 wards of Tokyo.

In addition, Karuizawa has 8 million visitors per capita every year. On average, more than 600,000 people per month.

And that's not all, the headquarters of the Karuizawa Group, one of Japan's top 10 chaebols, as well as several directly affiliated companies, are also located there.

This is more than the annual corporate tax paid to the Karuizawa town government, far exceeding the total annual tax revenue of most prefectures in Japan. Karuizawa is a small place, but it is very wealthy.

There, not only the villas of the wealthy, but also all kinds of very modern facilities. Delicious food, good drink, fun, and so on.

Shuichi Kudo looked disgusted just by looking at the government office building in Wakayama City, and it was not as grand as the office building of the Karuizawa Town Government at all. In his mind, a city is far inferior to a town.

Shuichi Kudo's cell phone rang suddenly. He was reflexed by such a condition, so he found his phone. As soon as I saw that it was my mother's call, I didn't hesitate to press the green answer button.

Wakana Kudo asked bluntly, "Have you arrived in Wakayama City?" ”

Kudo Shuichi replied with a little emotion: "It's here." If you don't believe me, I can send you a location. ”

Kudo Wakana went straight and said, "This kid, what's going on?" Wakayama City, that's your mother and my hometown. ”

Shuichi Kudo blurted out: "That's your hometown, not my hometown." My hometown is in Karuizawa. I really don't want to stay in this poor and remote place for a moment. ”

Wakana Kudo knew that her hometown was not as bad as her son said, "You work there well." When you do a good job, your father will definitely support you to enter politics and become the mayor of Wakayama City. ”

When Shuichi Kudo heard this, he couldn't be happy at all and said, "I don't want to be in politics, and I want to be the mayor of Wakayama City." Mom, I'm going back to Tokyo. ”

Kudo Wakana said without the slightest hesitation: "Don't say anything." If you dare to run back to Tokyo without permission, then I'll do what I say I'll stop your credit card. ”

Kudo Shuichi immediately succumbed and said, "In this way, I will have to explain here for the rest of my life." ”

Wakana Kudo was very optimistic and full of ardent expectations for her son, "Why do you have to be so pessimistic? ”

Shuichi Kudo was full of frustration and said: "I was sent here by my father, which means that my life is like this." ”

Kudo Wakana didn't blindly comfort her son: "When you become the mayor of Wakayama City, your father will definitely be impressed with you."

Then, he will support you to become the governor of Wakayama Prefecture. Then, he'll help you become a member of Congress. Won't you just go back to Tokyo then?

What is it called? According to you young people, the king has returned. In the end, you will also become a cabinet minister, or even a cabinet minister (the prime minister of Japan). ”

Shuichi Kudo didn't have a good time and said, "Even if it's really as you said, Mom, the day I return to Tokyo, I'll at least be middle-aged."

I counted on my fingers, I could have stayed in this country where birds don't for twenty years. ”

Kudo Wakana was unhappy when she saw him talking like this, and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Shu Kudo has always said: "If my father really loves me, values me, and trains me to enter politics, even if he doesn't place me in Tokyo, he will at least place me in a certain city in the Tokyo metropolitan area."

This Yokohama City, but it is better than Wakayama City. Even if you want to arrange me to come to the Kansai area, there are still Nagoya City and Osaka City! ”

Kudo Wakana frowned and said, "Don't pick the fat and thin." Your sister is right, if you really have that ability, you will definitely do a career.

If you're not that material, it's useless to go there. Besides, the job of the mayor's secretary is not at all a chance for many people to do it. ”

Kudo Shuichi said with a wry smile: "The mayor's secretary belongs to the mayor, and the credit belongs to the mayor." If there is any scandal in the mayor, he is the one who needs to take the blame for him. ”

Wakana Kudo didn't want to hear him say this, but just advised, "Since you have arrived in Wakayama City, you should take the initiative to visit our relatives and friends there." ”

Kudo Shuichi was reluctant to go from the bottom of his heart, and deliberately corrected: "It's not our family, but my mother, your relatives and friends in your hometown." ”

Kudo Wakana was not forced to say: "If you don't want to take the initiative to go, then don't go for the time being!" I came to Wakayama City that day, and I'll lead you there. So that they can meet my son, who is the mayor's secretary. ”

Kudo Shuichi hurriedly refused: "Mom, if you want to show off, you shouldn't bring me, but your sister." She's the first sister of Fuji TV News.

She appears on TV almost every day, who doesn't know her? As long as you take my sister to meet those relatives and friends in your hometown, it will definitely make you more face-saving. ”
