Shirakawa picked up the teacup, as if he hadn't heard the patriarch's words.

Takahashi Yoshito, who was sitting next to him, reminded him again.

The old man's face didn't look good, and he couldn't imagine that this bastard would be so arrogant that he dared to ignore his own words.

Shirakawa looked at everyone and said three words simply,

"First, I will not do any whitewashing for Takahashi North and Takahashi Changjing, nor will I cooperate with you to whitewash them, as for those people of the Takahashi family who are locked up in prison, they also deserve it, and if the Takahashi family wants to continue to develop, these pus must be removed."

"Second, I have no interest in your salt pans and industry, I have my own business."

"This is the latest product that is about to be launched by a pharmaceutical company, called [Young Water], so you can give it a try."

Shirakawa did not mention that he joined the Elysium Club and would use the power of the Elysium Club to strengthen the Takahashi family, nor did he mention his marriage contract with Chihiro Akagi.

The two points that the clan elders value the most, but he didn't mention a word.

They were obviously dissatisfied with Shirakawa's perfunctory behavior, and Shirakawa also made it clear that he would not wash his name for the Takahashi family.

The corners of Takahashi's mouth rose slightly, and it could be seen from the expressions of the clan elders that Kuraki Shirakawa was out of play.

Yulan Takahashi frowned, his eyes focused on the bottle of skin care water that Shirakawa took out.

Shirakawa handed [Young Water] to Takahashi Pleasant beside him, and said with a smile,

"Rub a little, on the wrinkles on your face."

Takahashi opened the cap of the bottle in disbelief, and in order to cooperate with Shirakawa, he dropped a few drops of essence on his hands and rubbed it on the nasolabial folds of his cheeks.

Older people, especially serious people, are most likely to have nasolabial folds.

"Hehe, grandstanding."

Kenichi Takahashi said.

The middle-aged men who attended the meeting also showed expressions of confusion or disdain.

They don't understand why Kuraki Shirakawa would promote his cosmetics at such an important conference, and this is not a promotion meeting or a business promotion conference.

Is it possible that the Takahashi family is still needed to invest?

Doubts and arguments rang out again.

"What is Kuraki Shirakawa doing?"

"What's there to brag about with a new product from an obscure pharmaceutical company?"

"This is a very important family meeting, can you not waste everyone's time."

After two minutes, all doubts came to an abrupt halt.

Because, the nasolabial folds on Takahashi's pleasant face disappeared.

To be precise, only on the left side of the face where the fairy water was wiped, the nasolabial folds disappeared, and the other side was still clearly visible.

Everyone looked at Takahashi in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.

Takahashi looked at Shirakawa suspiciously,

"What's wrong with me?"

"Is there a mirror?"

Shirakawa asked.

The old man asked the servant to bring a mirror up and handed it to Takahashi.

Takahashi looked in the mirror and was surprised not to make any sound.

After a while, [Young Water] was passed on separately by the clan elders, and they all wanted to test the effect.

This bottle of [Youth Water] has been diluted, and the effect is not as immediate as the original [Youth Water], which will bring people back to the youngest and most youthful moment, but it can really remove wrinkles.

For example, the 90-year-old man, after wiping [young water], seems to have returned to his 70-year-old, and the 60-year-old man has rubbed the fairy water, and he has also returned to the 50-year-old skin state.

Mirei Takahashi, who is about 30 years old, returned to 25 years old directly after rubbing it, and the small fine lines at the corners of her eyes disappeared.

Mirei Takahashi was originally in a neutral attitude, and now she directly chooses to support Shirakawa, with only one request, Shirakawa must always provide her with this [young water].

Kento Takahashi could never have imagined that Shirakawa's pharmaceutical company would develop such a rebellious product.

Even if he doesn't have much business acumen, he knows that with this kind of product, he can definitely occupy a place in the cosmetics market, and the domestic market plus the overseas market can be made into a brand, which is a cash cow that can create a steady stream of wealth for the Takahashi family.

Also dumbfounded is Tomohiro Takahashi, who didn't have a good impression of Shirakawa before, but now he finds that he seems to have lost his eyes,

"It's amazing, I want to know how this works, can I take a bottle back and study it?"

Tomohiro Takahashi asked.

Shirakawa waved his hand, "I'm sorry, but this involves trade secrets. ”

After using this bottle of [Young Water], Yuran Takahashi's skin returned to the state of a girl, and all her previous jealousy and unwillingness now disappeared and became ashamed.

She finally understood why the Akagi family would support Shirakawa and why Shirakawa could join the Elysium Club.

It's not that he's lucky, it's that he really has that kind of strength.

This bottle [of young water] is the best proof of this.

"It's cheating!"

Unconvinced, Kento Takahashi stood up, pointed at Shirakawa and scolded, "Do you know how much effort we have made for the position of head of the family? If you take out this little thing, you want to convince the family elders that our Yantian family business is not as good as cosmetics! ”

Shirakawa simply ignored him and allowed him to continue his incompetent rage.

Mirei Takahashi, who has been silent, was the first to speak,

"I think Shirakawa is right, Youlan is also doing a good job, although it is really painful to expose the scars of the family, but it is not broken or standing, the old does not go to the new and does not come, only by being able to face up to history, can we have the future, this era is no longer like the old era, we need new strength, we need [young water]."

"Well, Kenichi, you be quiet, now we can vote."

The elders of the Takahashi clan will not hide and fold, do not engage in anonymous voting, and directly begin to choose between the three.

"If you support Kenichi to become the new head of the family, please raise your hand."

Kozaburo Takahashi was in charge of the ticket.

In addition to Takahashi Takeken, there were only two other middle-aged people who raised their hands, a total of three votes, a difference of 4 votes from the 7 votes that Takahashi Kenichi had negotiated before.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at the elders who had promised to support him.

The elders avoided his gaze.

"Okay, then please raise your hand if you support Yulan to become the new head of the family."

Kozaburo Takahashi asked again.

This time, a total of 4 people raised their hands, which was only slightly better than Kenichi Takahashi.

Yuran Takahashi exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.

"Finally, if you support Shirakawa as the new head of the family, please raise your hand."

Kozaburo Takahashi looked at Shirakawa.

In an instant, most of the people in the conference room raised their hands.

"11 people supported Shirakawa and eventually became the new ......"

Kozaburo Takahashi was about to announce it, and the old man Takahashi Chaoichi, who had not raised his hand, suddenly stood up and said,

"I don't see Takahashi Shirakawa's sincerity in this matter, he may not be prepared, this election is too hasty."

"What do you mean?"

Takahashi asked.

Takahashi looked at the crowd,

"You all think that I am too old to see the changes in this world clearly, and you young people of this generation all feel that the Takahashi family has fallen and cannot return to the glory days of the past.

"I admit that I am already old, our 6 old bones are indeed old, and half of our feet are about to enter the coffin, in fact, we should be more open than you, divide the family property, and enjoy life.

"But I'm not reconciled, I have witnessed the most glorious period of the family, and I have seen my brother bring the family all the way to the top, I don't have his ability, I believe that there must be among my descendants.

"The glory of the past can be avoided, they have been buried with the older generation, but the glory of the future must be fought for, and the Takahashi family cannot be defeated!

"If you want to be undefeated, the choice of the head of the family is very important, and it can already be said that the moment of life and death for our Takahashi family is at stake.

"I'll give you three an exam question, and whoever can hand in the perfect answer sheet within the specified time will be the new head of the family."

"Old man."

Takahashi frowned, "It's not fair to Shirakawa. ”

"The world is inherently unfair, and you have to win in an unfair system to be considered a real winner."

Takahashi looked at Shirakawa,

"Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

"Old man, please speak."

Shirakawa bowed slightly.

Takahashi Chaoichi continued,

"I will give each of you a principal of 1 million, within 1 month, whoever earns 100 million first will be the winner, but there are conditions.

"Kenichi, you can't take advantage of family ties.

"Graceful, you can't use the salt pans.

"Shirakawa, you can't use [young water]."

"Old man, in 1 month, you have to multiply it 100 times, and you don't let them use their advantages, how can this be done?"

"Yes, you can't even use the relationship, isn't that obviously unsolvable?"

"Even if it's a stock trade, you have to have a reliable source."

The Takahashi clan who attended the meeting discussed it, and most of them felt that Takahashi Chaoichi's topic was too difficult.

Kenichi Takahashi complained directly.

"I accept."

Takahashi Yulan suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's discussion, "If I do it within 1 month, can I become the new head of the family?" ”

"Of course, it depends on which of you does it first, one month is just the deadline, and whoever completes the topic first will be the head of the house."

Takahashi said unquestioningly.

"Good!"

Yuran Takahashi nodded, packed up her briefcase, and planned to leave early.

"That's it for the meeting, you can go back."

Takahashi spoke, stood up, and left with the help of the servant.

The other clan elders also left their seats one after another.

Before they left, they all took a deep look at Shirakawa.

Shirakawa didn't greet them either, he stopped Yuran Takahashi, who was about to leave,

"Miss Takahashi, long time no see."

"It's been a long time, Kuraki-kun, I can't imagine that we will meet again, it will be such a situation."

There was a slight embarrassment on Takahashi's face.

Shirakawa smiled and asked,

"How's Misato doing now?"

Shirakawa is talking about the poor little girl on Misty Island, Misato Tanimoto, who should now be renamed Misato Takahashi.

"Misato is very good now, she went to a special school, I also hired a tutor for her, she is very smart and obedient, if you want to meet her, you can go to Osaka."

Takahashi Yuki said.

"No need, just know she's doing well."

Shirakawa smiled.

Takahashi Yuki clenched the document bag, frowned, and looked at the handsome young man,

"You actually knew that you were from the Takahashi family, so that's why you were so good to Misato, right?"

"I just think she's pitiful, and it's not good for her, compared to taking care of her life, finding her a school, educating her, you treat her better."

"The status of the women of the Takahashi family in the family has always been low, and I want to change that, why only men can control the fate of the family."

Takahashi Yuki suddenly said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Bai Chuan was slightly stunned, "I believe you can do a good job, you are very business-minded." ”

"Then don't fight with me."

Takahashi Yuki grabbed Shirakawa's sleeve and looked determined, like an unruly lioness on the prairie, warning her opponent not to approach her prey.

"You want to prove your strength, and there is no conflict with me as the head of the house."

Bai Chuan said lightly.

"How could it not be?"

Takahashi bit her lip.

Takahashi, who had already walked to the door, turned back,

"Shirakawa, it's time to go."

Shirakawa nodded and passed by Takahashi.

He left the villa with Takahashi Pleasant, and Takahashi asked,

"Shirakawa, do you have a clue? 1 million, in 1 month into 100 million, is not a small number. ”

"It depends on who you talk to."

"But you can't use [young water]."

"Uncle Yiren, don't worry, I have my own plans."

The two got into a private car, and Takahashi sent Shirakawa back to the Ruxia apartment.

Although his original intention was that as long as Shirakawa wanted, he could live in Takahashi Villa or other Takahashi family residences, and he didn't need to be wronged to live in a rental apartment, but Shirakawa thought that he was still comfortable living in an apartment and rejected his kindness.

After returning home, Shirakawa's mobile phone text message reminded him that the bank card had received a transfer of 1 million.

Next, he had to find a way to make 1 million rise 100 times in a month.

Shirakawa rode his beloved electric car and first went to a pharmaceutical company and met with Vice President Takayuki Hoda.

Takayuki Hoda looked at Shirakawa with a flattering face,

"President, what are your arrangements for coming today?"

"Has the [Young Water] study yielded results?"

Shirakawa asked.

"The research team has been working all night on it, but it's really hard to get the product you give us."

Takayuki Hoda said with an embarrassed face.

"Call the head of the research team, and I'm going to ask him face to face."

"Okay."

Takayuki Hoda nodded and asked the secretary to find the head of the research team, Genji Inamura.

Genji Inamura is tall and thin, with no hair on his head, wearing glasses with thick bottoms and a white coat, and when he saw Shirakawa, he showed an excited expression,

"Boss, the [Young Water] you gave me is amazing, which genius invented it!"

"I heard that you are in trouble, did you discover a substance that is not on the earth?"

Shirakawa asked.

Genji Inamura was stunned, he pushed the frame of his glasses, shook his head and said,

"The president is really joking, the substances in it have been decomposed, but we haven't figured out how to combine them yet, but this process won't take too long, at most half a year, we can solve it."
