Chapter 590: The Leftovers
Tokyo, Chuo-ku. Watanabe Saki and Nanjou Nana had finished working overtime and met at a chain restaurant izakaya they frequented.
The two faced each other and sat down at a table leaning in. Fried chicken pieces, green beans, and pickled gherkins …… were all good for drinks.
“Saki, I envy you. This promotion to the top of the director’s position within two days of returning from the chairman’s wedding.” Nanjou Nana said bluntly.
“What’s there to envy me for? I’m just a little bit luckier than you.” Watanabe Saeki also understood in his heart that his promotion was in all likelihood inseparable from President Miyazaki Ryui.
Not only had they met at the president’s wedding, but they had also had a long talk. The other party should be treating her as one of their own. So, he made a call to the Personnel Department, and then he was able to get himself promoted.
Director of this position is not a management position, seems to be unimportant, at most a little more money, but in fact, in the same period of time can represent the role of a weathervane, who is the first to get promoted, it means that the future of who the future will be the brightest.
Nanjo Nana took a sip of beer and said: “It’s not luck, it’s the importance of connections. Something I don’t understand is what a great opportunity the Chairman’s wedding was, how come you didn’t hook up with a rich man? Did you specialize in picking out the younger men?”
“We’re friends, that’s why I’m giving you some honesty. Actually, I just didn’t go looking.” Watanabe Saki didn’t think about hanging on to a golden son-in-law.
She had the self-awareness that her appearance and body were ordinary. The main thing was that her origin background was equally ordinary.
“Are you stupid? Such a good opportunity, you don’t even know how to make good use of it, wasting it for nothing, if you’re not sorry, I’m sorry for you.” Nanjou Nana’s pair of eyes widened quite a bit.
Watanabe Saeki didn’t show any regret at all, while peeling green beans in her hands and eating them, she said unhurriedly, “Rich men aren’t fools.
They tend to be only one more shrewd than the other. Instead of taking the initiative to send the door with false hope to be played with, it’s better to hide far away.
In my college days, there was a girl friend who was quite close to me and the president’s wife, who was not only played by a rich scumbag, but also got pregnant.
Later, she insisted on giving birth to the child in her womb, and that meant dropping out of college without finishing it. Without a college degree in hand, it would be even harder to find a decent job in society.
I’m not going to lie, the president’s wife, that is, one of my good girlfriends, once told me personally that rich men generally only treat the women in the same class with sincerity.
Not only did she tell me that, but she also told her pregnant best friend a long time ago. Only, the latter did not listen to her words.
For me, this has a previous experience, I still go to risk fishing son-in-law, that is really stupid. Nowadays, I have such a very good job, not only is my family doubly proud of me, but I’m also quite contented.”
“Why are you resigned to your fate? Could it be that you don’t envy the life of the Chairman’s wife, that is, that one of your girlfriends who is now living as a human being?” Nanjou Nana had trouble understanding this kind of magical brain circuit of hers and said.
“I wouldn’t dare to compare myself to Rie. Not only is she talented and beautiful, but she’s also an extremely intelligent woman herself. Plus, her destiny was already good.
Who let the Kishimoto family and the Sakai family have that marriage contract long ago? It should be hers, it is hers, and no one can take it away from her.
I don’t have that kind of fate. I can’t force it. Even if I get it by chance, it will be hard to last.” Watanabe Saeki calmly said.
“You and I are quite different. I’m a person who doesn’t believe in fate and doesn’t recognize it. To be a person who doesn’t actively strive for it, but just sits and waits for it, then there will never be a chance.” Nanjou Nana blurted out.
Watanabe Saeki and the other party had not known each other for a day or two, and had long known that she had a relatively strong character in her bones. This was not necessarily a good thing for a woman in the midst of a male-dominated society like Japan.
Capable, able to make a lot of money Japanese men, whether to Europe and the United States studied, or the local elite, that are more or less traditional and conservative side.
A woman who marries him and then goes out to work is not a slap in his face. Outsiders also mistakenly think that he is not capable of supporting a family.
That’s why his wife will work after marriage to earn money to supplement the family. How can this be tolerated by a socially elite man?
A man who is really capable should let his wife stay at home to cook, bring up the children, and spend his money on all kinds of shopping, after all, it is a man’s business to make money and provide for his family.
“Men are partial to birdie women. The best thing is that you can support him unconditionally and trust him, and his dreams are your dreams.
I’m afraid that your kind of career-oriented woman is not in line with their usual tastes. Besides, the real rich man for you to earn this a few money, but also in the heart is really not see.
This has become a high not, low not the situation. You can see on the rich man, he can not see you. Looked at your man, you dislike him no money.
Bitter on the bitter white-collar elite women like you. The beautiful woman has also become an older leftover woman as she drags her feet on choosing a spouse.” Watanabe Saki said honestly.
Nanjou Nana saw that she had hit the nail on the head, so she depressedly picked up the beer cup again and drank it in a big gulp. Her current age was not too old, not too young.
She also knows, women over twenty-five years old, that is more and more no market in those who have the power of the man in front of the right to speak. Men favored younger women, the best in their teens and twenties.
As an elite female white-collar worker in a large handful of corporations, she earns about five million yen a year, leaving the vast majority of her peers far behind.
According to the logical rule that the law of male and female income fits together, a man’s annual income should be at least 1.5 times higher than a woman’s annual income. On top of that, one wants to keep working after one’s marriage.
This is also subject to the very enlightened consent of one’s other half. However, the common idea of a Japanese man who is capable of supporting a family is to get his wife to quit her job and be able to have a child for two right after marriage.
Otherwise, why would he get married? It’s not like in the past, you had to be married to get laid or to be promoted by the company.
