Chapter 701: Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs
At noon, Masayoshi Kishimoto went to Natsui Makoto’s place for lunch as usual. On top of the table there was a new dish, sweet and sour pork.
“I know you like Chinese food. Then how about you try my sweet and sour pork?” Natsui Makoto said with confidence exuding from among her smile.
Holding chopsticks in his right hand, Masayoshi Kishimoto took a piece of sweet and sour pork from the plate, and then he pinched both ends of the pork with his left hand and directly nibbled on it.
“How’s the flavor?” Natsui Makoto couldn’t wait to get a review and feedback from him, saying.
“It’s okay, it’s still made with the flavor of Chinese sweet and sour pork.” Kishimoto Masayoshi, on top of the objective evaluation, inevitably was adding some more emotional points to her, saying.
“Since you like it, then eat more.” Natsui Makoto said with a bright smile.
“Have you chosen a house in Roppongi, Minato Ward yet? In this morning’s weekly meeting above, I have already made a decision to move the Hard Gold Group’s headquarters as a whole to Roppongi in Minato Ward is already on the schedule.” Masayoshi Kishimoto placed the light bone on the table and sucked on his finger.
“When it comes to the houses in Roppongi, Minato Ward, it is simply the rhythm that makes me get a heart attack. The house price not only refreshes my understanding of the three views, but also expensive out of the sky.
A random set in the elevator building of the high-class apartments over there is going for hundreds of millions of yen. According to our family of four, we have to need at least three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom layout, and a square footage that’s about the same size as here, yet it’s tens of millions of yen more expensive.”
Natsui Makoto still carries out an information collection for buying a house that is necessary for Roppongi in the harbor area. Although at the moment this set of Taito District Ueno house is in her name, but not her own real money to buy, not to mention from whom the inheritance proceeds, but Kishimoto Masayoshi gift.
In order to avoid taxes, even if there was nominally a sale that was on the lower side of the market price, it was just a superficial formality that didn’t make her shell out a single yen out at all.
Prior to this, she had never even thought of being able to own her own personal property in Tokyo one day, and had never even dared to dream of doing so.
She was a working girl who had graduated from an ordinary high school in Wakayama Prefecture and had come to Kyoto. All along, the work she had been doing had been temporary and hourly-paid.
This was good enough to cover her monthly expenses such as rent in Tokyo. Even if she had gotten into the habit of saving money every month, she was still a hundred thousand miles away from the down payment she needed to buy a house, let alone pay for it all at once.
Their own rented house, either particularly remote, are about to go out of the twenty-third district of Tokyo, or is to live closer, but can only be rented in the squatters this kind of old and broken small group dormitory building inside.
Roppongi in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, what was that place? In her mind, it definitely belongs to the place where the rich people live, a place where even her own rental house does not dare to ask the price.
Buying a house for the first time, or paying for it all at once, made her experience a new shock she had never seen before. People could originally live so well.
It was no wonder that there were so many beautiful girls in this one world who were dying to fall for rich men, but would regard the penniless men who pursued them hard as licking dogs, as a pastime.
Kishimoto Justice listened to what she said at the same time, and then gnawed through a piece of sweet and sour pork and said, “I told you a long time ago, don’t look at what the price is, just choose what you like.”
“There’s nothing I don’t like about Roppongi’s house in the harbor area, I like them all. Not only that, I also fell in love with the streets there, the flowers and trees there, the various colors of streetlights there …… all of it, I like it.” Natsui Makoto said bluntly.
“Really, if we were to make a selection based on the number of rooms we have here at the moment, Makoto and Mika wouldn’t even have a study. It’s better for me to do it and choose a large leaping set for you guys!” Masayoshi Kishimoto made a snap decision.
“This will allow me to live in Roppongi, Minato Ward, and I’ll be completely satisfied. And a study? And a leaping floor? How much would that cost?” Natsui Makoto instantly conjured up images of burning money inside her head and blurted out.
“Don’t you worry about matters concerning money. Hard Gold Construction has built a high-class residential area there in Roppongi in the harbor area as well. You prepare more for the move.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was on cloud nine as he said.
“Got it. By the way, after your Hard Gold Group’s headquarters as a whole moved from Ueno here in Taito District to Roppongi in Minato District, the building that was here and wasn’t empty?” Natsui Makoto said thoughtfully.
“You’re one of those people who don’t care about things that should concern you. It’s not something that should concern you, but you’re so concerned about it, is it useful?” Justice Kishimoto cried out.
“I am caring about you.” Natsui Makoto said seriously.
“I’ve already patted down one more thing at the top of today’s regular weekly meeting, and that is the establishment of Hard Gold Group’s sixth wholly-owned subsidiary, Hard Gold Network.
This building in Ueno, Taito District, will be reserved for the new company’s office premises. No matter what, this is where the Hard Gold Group originated and rose to prominence.” Masayoshi Kishimoto used his chopsticks to hold another piece of sweet and sour pork and said.
“You’re just too awesome.” Natsui Makoto said with her left hand resting on her cheeks and her mouth smiling, completely looking at her man with the look of a fan girl.
“You’re also amazing, a person who is able to bring up two children at once without ever crying out in pain.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he pinched both ends of a piece of sweet and sour pork with two fingers in his left hand.
Natsui Makoto suddenly cupped her face with both hands and shook her head left, right, left, right, smilingly said, “Being praised by you like this, it really makes me embarrassed.”
“Don’t be embarrassed, you deserve it.” Justice Kishimoto chuckled.
“It’s said that nine out of ten rich men are philandering, and one is even more so. You guys treat pretty girls the same way you treat pretty clothes.
When you fall in love with them, you buy them. When you buy it, you won’t wear it a few times, and then you won’t wear it anymore. Then, you go looking for a new target. I’m not really pretty, my personal ability is very ordinary, and I don’t have any family background.
According to common sense, for a girl like me, who did not go to college and came from the countryside to work in Tokyo, the only thing I had to do in my life was to find a man with a decent income, marry him, and start a family, and that would be the end of my life.
What I have now is like a dream. No, the thing that I wouldn’t even dare to dream about is actually happening to me.” Natsui Makoto said with great emotion.
“It means that you were a great good person in your previous life and did a lot of good deeds. The good karma you cultivated in your previous life has been greatly blessed in this life.
In fact, in my mind, you are quite pretty.” Masayoshi Kishimoto, as an atheist, but gave her a lecture on the Dao of karma.
