Chapter 200 Reality

Masayoshi Kishimoto took off the new panties that Makoto Natsui had bought for himself in the upstairs bedroom and took out another pair of panties from the underwear drawer is to change back into them. What he was worried about was that Sakai Rie would notice something was wrong when she did her laundry, after all, the brand of panties was noticeably different.

Then again, the color of the panties was also different. It’s not like Natsui Makoto’s taste was Sakai Rie’s. If the latter saw it, suspicion would inevitably arise, and her instinctive first reaction would be how could she possibly buy panties with such a flowery color?

After changing, Masayoshi Kishimoto kicked the “evidence of guilt” inside his jacket pocket, ready to throw it into the trash can when he went out for a walk.

This way, no one would be aware of it, and even if Rie Sakai had any suspicions, there would be no evidence of the crime. The “crime” will not be able to be established.

At lunch time, the two of them sat face to face in the small dining room downstairs. A variety of dishes with rich nutritional combinations were placed on the table.

“Meiling will soon be a senior in high school, a crucial year.” Rie Sakai said as she ate her lunch and chatted with him about things within the family.

Masayoshi Kishimoto understood that Japan likewise had high school entrance exams, also called by them as college entrance exams. One was a nationwide unified exam, and the other belonged to a college’s own admission exam.

If you don’t do well enough in the former or fail the exam, there is still a chance for the latter. The latter is not a one-time test, but can be taken many times.

The exams of the most prestigious schools in Japan are basically staggered. All you need to do is to prepare for the transportation and accommodation expenses to and from the university you are applying for, and then you can take the exam at the university you are applying for.

The good thing about this system is that it is not a one-shot deal. The not-so-good aspect is that it is not fair to students from economically disadvantaged families.

After all, they will not have so much spare money for their children to travel far to take the examination. Even for the average middle-class family, it’s a lot of money to spend, as if traveling.

On top of the transportation cost, it is definitely going to cost money, and it is absolutely impossible to walk. If you don’t live well, your sleep will be affected, and your performance on the exam will be affected. Live in a good hotel, that is a must.

As for food, it can still be made do with what you have. If Sakai Misuzu didn’t do well on the national exam in Kochi Prefecture, she would have to leave Kochi Prefecture and go to Tokyo.

Alternatively, she could take the national exam next year. As long as the timing is staggered, she can enroll in several universities in different cities, and she can go to Kyoto, Osaka, and other cities to take the exams in transit. In addition to written exams, there are also interviews.

Especially the interviews at the big universities are really not a walk in the park, and there is every possibility that candidates who have passed the written exam will be brushed off, and there are even oral interviews in full English.

Not only that, but the acceptance rate in Japan is based on a uniform deviation of candidates from year to year to determine the number of students to be admitted. Famous universities naturally have no worries about the number of students, after all, there are just a lot of overseas students every year.

“Don’t be quiet!” Sakai Rie, as her older sister, was still very concerned about her younger sister’s future, she said.

“I know that during that time, you need to find good extracurricular tutoring classes for the college entrance exams and good tutors. This matter that uses money, you can just go and send it to Meiling yourself.

And if Mei Ling comes to Tokyo to take the exams, you should take care of that as well! I won’t blame you for taking money from your husband’s family to subsidize your mother’s family.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.

Sakai Rie didn’t resist the term “husband’s family”. She wanted this nod from him, “I will keep a clear record of the extra expenses in the family account book.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously, “Tell Meiling to prepare well for the college entrance exams. If she can’t get into a prestigious university this year, then she’ll take it again the next year.

If she can’t get into next year, then she’ll keep taking the exams. Whenever she gets into a famous university, she’ll go to school. I will pay for all the expenses during this period.

From this year onwards, our Hard Gold Group has also begun to recruit only those who have graduated from famous universities. Of course, this is the exception for people with special skills.

Even if I don’t tell you, you know the reality of Japan. Nowadays, non-brand-name universities have a unified name, called the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers or the People’s Own University.

The children who go to these universities generally come from families of workers, peasants, and soldiers. Even after graduating from college, they will not have good jobs. Without a good job, they will not have a good income.

Without a good income, there will not be enough money to raise the next generation, thus entering a circular chain that is difficult to jump out of. If there’s another accident, class descent becomes inevitable, and one falls directly from the civilian class to the poor.”

Sakai Rie was able to completely understand this kind of argument of his. In Japan, it was true that the type of university one attended greatly determined the future course of one’s life.

At the same time, Masayoshi Kishimoto was also on the same page as her. The big hand enterprise absolutely still only recruit famous university graduates for a fresh blood enrichment.

If you don’t get into a big company, your annual income won’t increase as you get older, and you’ll face the risk of losing your job because of job instability.

Without a good income, marriage is a problem. Even if a woman is pretty, it doesn’t mean she can marry a rich man. This can be seen in the special industry chain in Japan.

There are many beautiful women in this industry, but it is difficult for them to be adopted by rich people. Even the average man from a middle-class background would generally not choose a poor girl as his wife, after all, it would lower his quality of life.

Even if they are barely together, it will be difficult to last long. Door-to-door relationships are not only emphasized in China, but also in Japan, and even more so in Korea.

As for the poor man, according to Chinese words, poor but three generations, not after three generations of poverty, the fourth generation will be better, but there will not be a fourth generation, after all, even can not afford to marry a wife, there is no child, that comes to the fourth generation?

Even if they can barely get married and have children, the family will live in misery. Without the resources to provide for the future, the rare opportunities in life will also be lost. In a highly developed capitalist society, money is a very important thing, not only affecting oneself, but also affecting future generations.

Especially when people reach middle age, they will really realize what is called mid-life crisis. Once the big hand enterprise layoffs, will also leave room for formal members of the community will gradually step by step from the parent company down to subsidiaries, to the grandchildren of the company, and even more below the enterprise to work inside.

Often does not appear across the board, a little bit of human feelings are not speaking. As long as the official staff do not care too much about personal face, accept a pay cut of one-third, two-thirds, or even more, then the work is still there.

Otherwise, it’s sending you overseas to an underdeveloped country or region to engage in work, which is also referred to by the Japanese as being carried out an exile by the company. On the contrary, survival becomes quite grim.

In 2006, NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), which has always been concerned about social realities, focused its camera on such a group of people, resulting in the documentary “Japan’s Busy People Trilogy”.

These were “Japan’s Busybodies 1: Labor and Poverty”, “Japan’s Busybodies 2: Hard Work is Enough”, and “Japan’s Busybodies 3: The Solution”.

By this time, the number of “busybodies” in Japan had already reached 4 million households. Even at the conservative estimate of a minimum of three members per household, the population of the “busybodies” exceeded 12 million, or about one-tenth of Japan’s total population (128 million).

In fact, a household in Japan often has an average of five or six people, which means that it would basically double from one-fifth to one-sixth of the nation’s population, which is the poor class of the “busybodies”.

This corresponds to the actual number of poor people in Japan, as announced by the Japanese government. Of course, this is not a criterion of per capita consumption of one dollar or two dollars per day, but rather, according to the common standard of the capitalist developed countries, a city or a region with an individual or family income below half of the average median income is considered poor.
