Chapter 164: Blind Date

Rumiko Kato walked home alone after singing karaoke with her coworkers and parting ways. She drank quite a lot of alcohol during the night, yet she didn’t feel much dizziness.

Even in the present, it was exhilarating. Being a full-fledged member of the club herself meant that she would be able to receive a half-yearly bonus of twelve months’ basic salary.

Apart from this one thing, there was nothing else that could excite her more than the fact that the company would be syndicated shortly in the future. The Administration Division would be upgraded to an Administration Department, and Ota Hidetora would be the head of the department. The position of Division Head would then become vacant.

As of now, Rumiko Kato counted and counted with her fingers, and even if she didn’t have a one hundred percent chance of being promoted, it was still upwards of eighty percent.

The personal relationship between herself and Ota Ashitaka was quite good. In terms of personnel appointments, Masayoshi Kishimoto would naturally listen to Ota’s advice. If she said that she would recommend someone to take her place, then in all likelihood, she would have a good idea.

Kato Rumiko has the desire to advance in her heart, after all, people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. I also want to taste the feeling of being a cadre and giving orders.

Kato Rumiko thinking about thinking, their cell phone ringing ringing is interrupted her thoughts. She took out her cell phone from her handbag and took a look at the caller ID, the landline phone number inside her home.

She pressed the green answer button and held it in her right hand next to her right ear and said, “It’s so late, you’re still up?”

Holding the landline microphone Kato’s mom, stood and smiled and said, “I counted the time, feeling that you almost finished working overtime, should also be off work and returned home, is why I called you.”

“I didn’t work overtime today, I went out with my coworkers and not only ate high-class Japanese food, but also sang karaoke together,” Rumiko Kato said with a joyful expression.

“Daughter, even if you have money, don’t spend it recklessly. Save some extra money in case you need something in the future.” Kato’s mom kindly reminded.

“Happy, so happy tonight. Our president said that the half-yearly prize given to full members is twelve months’ salary.

There’s also the fact that our company is going to be conglomerate, and it’s extremely likely that I’ll be promoted to the position of the head of the administration department.” Kato Rumiko said prettily as she walked slowly towards the front.

“It’s still my daughter who is the most promising.” Kato’s mother couldn’t help but have a little bit of tears in her eyes. Other people were not clear, but she, who was a mother, was the most clear that it was not easy for her daughter to come all this way.

She did not have too many extravagant expectations for her daughter, as long as she could support herself on the line, but she did not expect fate to come with a misadventure.

At the beginning, she thought that her daughter worked in a small company, as long as punctual to be able to pay wages on time. What’s more, the university her daughter graduated from is not a prestigious university, but a third-rate university.

So, she didn’t make that kind of fantasy or excessive extravagance. A small company is a small company, which is already better than going around as a laborer many times over.

After all, people drift from one place to another place, and from another place to other places, is not a long-term solution.

People get older every day, especially women. Once they pass twenty-five, they start going downhill. If they didn’t hurry, they would soon pass thirty.

“I’ll send you money when I get paid.” Not only did Rumiko Kato not feel dissatisfied or pressured to feed her family of origin, but she also had a sense of pride.

The annual income of the average employee of Hard Gold Capital Corporation was not a small amount, and it was already above the median of all companies, which meant that her current annual income was considered to be in the middle of the pack.

The increase in her income has resulted in her hands becoming generous. Sending money back to her hometown is also a reflection of her achievements in fighting in Beijing and doing well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to move from Adachi District to the current Taito District.

“The last time I told you about the blind date, how have you considered it?” Kato’s mother said most of all, unable to let go of her daughter’s lifelong matters.

“You’d better put it off for me! Nowadays, your daughter is about to become a section chief in a big company. Even if she wants to find a boyfriend, she should at least look for a man from a local middle-class family in Tokyo. I’m not looking for a country boy!” Kato Rumiko said bluntly.

“That boy is also a nice one. Not only have I seen the picture myself, but I sent one to you.

He also went to college in Tokyo, and his job is also in Tokyo. Although he works as a salesman in a small company, good character is most important.

His family has been clean for generations. Nowadays, you are really better off in terms of income and work.

However, you should not forget that you were also a mistake, coupled with good luck to have today. Being a human being is not able to forget your roots.” Kato’s mother said in a serious tone.

Kato Rumiko simply couldn’t listen, “If I quit my job and go home to raise my children, can he support us with his annual income?

I’m afraid he might not even be able to support himself. What’s the use of having a good character. Is it able to be used as food or drink?”

Kato’s mother also knew that the man’s annual income was not high and said, “If you don’t want to quit your job, you can still continue to work! Nowadays, two-income families are quite common.”

“Then why don’t we just let him quit and go home to raise the kids while I make money outside to support the family?” There wasn’t any hypocrisy in the way Rumiko Kato and her mom spoke to each other.

“This one solution of yours is not without merit. After you get married and have a child, you’ll always need someone to bring up the child at home.

It would be most economical to have the one with the lower annual income quit his job and come home. With your annual income, it won’t be a problem to support a family.” Kato’s mom did not fail to find her daughter’s argument quite reasonable, saying.

“Mom, you’ve completely misunderstood me. I don’t want to get married yet. Nowadays, it’s not easy for me to have a good job with a decent income, and before I have much time to enjoy my life, I have to be tied down by my family.

Why bother? There are so many countries around the world that I haven’t even been to yet. I haven’t eaten a lot of delicious food. I have not worn many beautiful clothes. ……

Life’s great pleasures can be more than that.” Rumiko Kato couldn’t help but think inside her head of the culinary treats she had enjoyed tonight inside the Hi-Lo Haute Cuisine Pavilion and said.

“When a woman gets older, it can be hard to find a man. Nowadays, your age is also just the right age to talk about marriage.” Kato’s mother with her traditional and conservative thinking persuaded her daughter.

“You don’t need to say more. I am not going to go on a blind date. It’s not like your daughter can’t support herself, even if she doesn’t rely on a man in this life, she won’t starve to death.” Kato Rumiko suddenly lost her patience and said.
