The mayor's wife suddenly stood up and exclaimed "daughter". She didn't believe that her daughter just went downstairs inadvertently, and nine times out of ten she eavesdropped on it.

Seeing this, Mika Ishikawa had no choice but to walk towards her parents, then turn around and sit on the sofa. There was no expression on her face.

The mayor's wife sat down again and said straight to the point: "You must have listened to the conversation between me and your father. Your dad means ......"

Mika Ishikawa interrupted, "I can marry Shuichi Kudo." ”

The mayor's wife was deeply surprised by her daughter's answer: "You can't be joking, right? ”

Mika Ishikawa smiled instead: "I'm willing, you guys are still not at ease." Is it that if I say no, you will feel normal? ”

The mayor looked at her and said, "Tell me what you think?" ”

Mika Ishikawa said seriously: "I like it, I definitely still like my boyfriend." In the end, this is not enough to resist the harsh reality.

He was obedient to me at the moment, and even obeyed me, because my dad was the mayor of Wakayama City. In his future personal career, it can also form a big help.

Once my dad is no longer the mayor, I'm afraid his attitude towards me will take a 180-degree turn. Besides, my job at the local TV station would not have been so easy and enjoyable.

The reason why I was able to go smoothly in my relationship and work was not because of how I was, but mainly because my father was the mayor. ”

A relieved smile appeared on the mayor's face and said, "My daughter has finally grown up." You also know what it means to be human, and people are there. When people leave, the tea will be cold.

I originally thought that your ideological work was not very easy to do, either crying and smashing, or running away from home in a negative mood. What I didn't expect was your rationality. ”

Mika Ishikawa said truthfully: "I have seen a lot of people and things on Wakayama TV. Without a background and relationship, even if you enter Wakayama TV and work diligently and diligently, it will be difficult to get ahead.

The only good thing about this is probably that it sounds good to the outside world. In fact, there is not only a lot of pressure in my heart, but also every step is like walking on thin ice. If you don't know how to be a person, you will inevitably be bullied in the workplace. ”

The mayor smiled and said, "It's not just you Wakayama TV, it's all over Japan, it's pretty much the same. Moreover, in these days, a decent and formal job is very difficult to find.

There is a shortage of temporary jobs, but the income is unstable. Without a formal and stable job and income, it means that the future of the individual is not guaranteed. ”

The mayor's wife's attention fell on her daughter and said, "Meixiang, you don't have to force yourself too much. In any case, this one matter has not yet been finalized. ”

The mayor answered, "Even if our daughter agrees, it may not be able to get Kudo Shuichi to agree." ”

The mayor's wife was unconvinced: "Does he still have to put up a shelf?" After all, he's not just an illegitimate child. ”

The mayor couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Don't talk about an illegitimate child, the name of an illegitimate child." Even if he is an illegitimate child, it depends on whose illegitimate child he is.

If his father really didn't care about him, he could still be left to fend for himself, and he wouldn't have been arranged to work with us at all.

Since he was arranged to be my secretary in Wakayama City, it proves that he is not an outcast. As long as it is not an outcast, it will have value and role. ”

Mika Ishikawa blurted out: "I completely agree with Dad's statement. ”

The mayor's wife is not ignorant of the world, but she is singing with her husband with a red face and a white face: "I just think I will wronged our family Meixiang." ”

Mika Ishikawa said seriously: "Grievances, I don't feel any grievances. Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

If Shuichi Kudo had the potential to enter politics, as my father said, then I could become the wife of the mayor, the governor, the wife of a city councilor, the wife of a prefectural councilor, and especially the wife of a member of the Diet. ”

The mayor nodded and said, "My daughter is indeed ambitious, and she will never be a wife to a rat and a sparrow." ”

The mayor's wife said in her heart: "My dear, how sure are you that you will be able to convince Masao Ishihara?" ”

After thinking about it, the mayor stretched out his right palm and said, "Fifty percent." ”

The mayor's wife was surprised: "That's it! ”

The mayor has told the truth: "It's already good. Today's Masao Ishihara is no longer the same as Masao Ishihara a few years ago.

Until a few years ago, the Karuizawa Group was not one of Japan's top 10 chaebols. Now, how many people still don't know that the Karuizawa Group is one of the top 10 chaebols in Japan?

As far as I know, the Karuizawa Group's big moves in the past year have been focused on heavy industry. Not long ago this year, didn't Karuizawa Group take a stake in Kobe Steel?

The city of Kobe in Hyogo Prefecture is not too far from the city of Wakayama in Wakayama Prefecture. We also have a reputation as a steel base. The North Port of Wakayama Port is dedicated to iron ore.

If Masao Ishihara supports my re-election bid, he only needs to agree to invest and integrate steel in Wakayama City, which will boost our local economy and employment.

This will also enable the expansion of the construction of the Wakayama Port, which will further increase the amount of iron ore being unloaded. Just last year, the Karuizawa Group took a stake in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

It is clear that one of the future strategies of the Karuizawa Group is to fall into the steel sector. In addition, Karuizawa Trading Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Karuizawa Group, has some iron ore-related direct investments overseas. ”

Mika Ishikawa said thoughtfully, "If the Karuizawa Group can really make a big investment in the steel of Wakayama City, it will be tantamount to ensuring that my father can continue to be re-elected mayor in the future." Even running for governor of Wakayama Prefecture is very advantageous. ”

Mayor Masashi said: "While I need Ishihara Masao to support me, I also offer a price that he can be satisfied with."

In addition to marrying my daughter to Shuichi Kudo, Shuichi Kudo will take over when I step down as mayor of Wakayama City in the future.

This will inevitably lead to the city council passing local laws and regulations that are more conducive to its investment. In particular, tax reductions and exemptions for enterprises, and even direct cash subsidies. ”

The mayor's wife understood: "What you mean is that if you get Masao Ishihara, you will be able to handle everything." ”

The mayor has never considered whether his daughter and Kudo Shuichi are in love, but is trying to increase the bargaining chips he has in his hands to negotiate with Masao Ishihara and said: "Instead of doing this more than one move to get Kudo Shuichi, it is better to get his father directly." ”
