Chapter 735 Marriage partner
After another day, Kazuya Takahashi drove straight back to his parents’ house after getting off work in the evening. Who let him receive a phone call from his mother in the morning?
As soon as Takahashi Kazuya entered the house, he not only saw that the whole family was there, but also felt the strong and serious atmosphere inside the house. His parents were sitting side by side in the living room with serious faces. So, he had to obediently sit across from them.
Takahashi’s mother took out a large white envelope that she had prepared, and took out a picture of a young girl from it and placed it on the coffee table.
Takahashi Kazuya knew what was going on as soon as he saw the situation. He said, “Mom, you’re looking for a marriage partner for cousin Suzuki Shinsuke, aren’t you? This must be for me to counsel my cousin first.”
Takahashi’s mother said without a smile on her face, “It’s not a marriage match for your cousin Suzuki Shinsuke, it’s a marriage match for you.”
Takahashi Kazuya feigned a rather surprised expression and said, “I am the one who has a fianc茅e. Her name is Mizuhara Yuki. Could it be that you even forgot about this one?”
“How could I not?” Takahashi’s mother was equally good at feigning confusion. She also had the intention to look sideways at her husband and said, “My dear, do you know that such a person exists?”
Without waiting for her father to answer, Takahashi Kazuya jumped ahead and said, “You can’t be like this! Even though the Mizuhara family is bankrupt, Mizuhara Yuki and I are still very close. That paper marriage contract between the two of us still exists, legally ……”
Without waiting for her son to finish his sentence, Takahashi’s mother directly intended, “Don’t mention the law to me. I’m sitting next to such a one of the top ten lawyers in Japan who I’ve been sleeping with for decades!”
Kazuya Takahashi turned his attention from his mother to his father, thus wanting to get one of his support for himself saying, “Dad, why don’t you say something!”
“Listen to your mom all the time.” Takahashi’s father had already sided with his wife inside the same camp. Both she and he had come from the past, and both had followed their parents’ orders and the words of matchmakers, and knew best that people like them, who came from the upper class of Japanese society, couldn’t be left to their own devices when it came to marriages.
In the case of ordinary people, either the relationship between two people or the financial strength of one of the parties was the most important thing.
When it came to their social class, the most important thing in a marriage was not the relationship, but the combination of the two families’ interests.
“Dad, you are the head of the family. Your words are the most important.” Takahashi Kazuya knew that he couldn’t come to terms with his mom, so he tried to find a way to pull his dad down the drain.
“Regarding your marriage matters, your mom has the most dominant power.” Takahashi’s dad could see his son’s little mind, but he didn’t hit the nail on the head and said.
“How can you guys be like this? What era is it now? The twenty-first century. Freedom of love, freedom of marriage, how can there still be arranged marriages?” Kazuya Takahashi protested.
“Don’t you give me this unrealistic stuff. If you marry Mizuhara Yuki, not only her, but their whole family will only drag you down. Money-wise, it’s secondary.
The most important thing is that she will not help you in your career and network, but will also drag you down. You don’t need your mom to tell you how high society is, you should know.
You don’t like being told that your wife is the daughter of a rags-to-riches family, do you?” Takahashi’s mom opened the window of heaven and said.
“Or you don’t like being told that you have a daughter-in-law from a raggedy family, an in-law with no money!” Kazuya Takahashi retorted.
“Yes, you’re right.” Takahashi’s mom admitted with a big smile.
When Takahashi’s father saw them mother and son choking up, he immediately stepped forward to round up the situation, “Kazuya, all that your mother did was for your own good.”
Takahashi’s mom frowned and said, “I’m telling you plainly, die before it’s too late. Your father and I absolutely do not approve of Yuki Mizuhara and the marriage that you have contracted in the past.”
“This marriage was also approved by you guys. One cannot be too snobbish.” Takahashi Kazuya did his best in actively fighting for it.
“I am such a snobbish woman. Not only me, but almost everyone in the entire high society is such a snob. Of course, it can also be called seeing the situation clearly.
Nowadays, this form is so understandable, you are still obsessed, for that reason? Without a solid financial foundation, how could your father, no, your grandfather, dare to propose marriage to the Suzuki family in the first place?
It’s because of my marriage to your father that the Suzuki family took care of him! How did your father get to be one of the top ten lawyers in Japan?
He worked hard, but more importantly, he relied on the extensive connections of both families. If your dad was a poor kid, he would have passed the judicial exams.
Even if he passed the judicial exam and became a lawyer, I’m afraid that he would only be able to have a subsistence level, and at most, he would only be able to fight small lawsuits such as divorces for ordinary people.” Takahashi’s mother said with reason.
Takahashi Kazuya was originally a lawyer, and was most aware of the things in this business. He knew very well that passing the judicial exam only meant that an individual had a lawyer’s license.
Whether one can become a famous lawyer, or even a famous barrister, depends on the winning rate and the number of big cases.
Some people, even if they have passed the judicial examination and become a professional lawyer, often suffer from the lack of cases.
No source of cases means no source of income. In such a situation, in front of their own two ways.
One way is to attach to a law firm, from the small lawyer to slowly boil, slowly do, step by step upgrade to partner, senior partner.
Or, then independently open a law firm of their own. All of this needs to be built on the basis of their own extensive social relations, contacts, as well as the source of cases.
The other way is to completely eliminate the unrealistic idea of becoming a lawyer, a legal pioneer.
Directly switch to the Procuratorate, the court engaged in a related work, that is, to obtain this piece of civil service, and then live a more than enough, more than the lower part of the stable life.
Senior lawyers are not only graduated from famous universities, but also have a very good background.
Among them, there is no lack of people whose grandparents have been in this line of work for generations, and there is also no lack of people who have full access to those who hold a lot of resources and power in their hands.
An ordinary person’s divorce lawsuit, the media will pay attention to it? Not at all. There is no chance of becoming famous, so it’s all about profit.
In a small lawsuit like this, the representation fee is also very small, after all, it’s not a divorce case of a rich or famous person. If Suzuki Motors had a lawsuit, it would be able to attract the close attention of several media outlets.
Law firms and lawyers who are able to represent Suzuki Motor will also receive media attention. This is the perfect opportunity to make a name for yourself.
Law firms that are able to take on this kind of case are naturally not simple. Even when a group of lawyers is formed, special attention is paid to the composition of the lawyers. Not to mention the fact that lawyers in general liked to fight economic lawsuits, after all, they had the highest returns.
