Chapter 290 Socializing

At 7:45 pm, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai were the ones who appeared at the front door of the Hashimoto house. She was dressed in a long white dress, not revealing a single thing that should be exposed, and wrapped up tightly.

Rie Sakai was holding his right arm with one hand, while the other hand was holding the corner of the hem of the dress to make it easier for her to walk forward, after all, that was the disadvantage of long dresses.

Masayoshi Kishimoto’s left hand was holding the prepared gift as he walked side by side with her towards Mr. and Mrs. Hashimoto, who were standing at the front door of their house to greet the guests.

Rie Sakai let go of the hand that was holding her, and with a smile on her face, she extended her hands to hug Mrs. Hashimoto. Masayoshi Kishimoto then took the initiative to present a gift.

“You must be Chairman Masayoshi Kishimoto of the Hard Gold Group! I have long heard that you are young and talented. Tonight, I’ve finally met a real person.

I dare assert that you will be the new generation of leaders in the financial world.” Mrs. Hashimoto received the gift with both hands while greeting her with a smile.

“I’m flattered. Last time, I had to thank you for your help. Otherwise, Rie’s younger sister, Meiling, wouldn’t have been able to go to school.” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled.

“It’s nothing, just a small favor. It was all thanks to the fact that my father happens to be the chairman of the board of that school.” Mrs. Hashimoto said bluntly.

“Thank your father. Say hello to his old man for me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.

“You’re really too kind. Come on inside.” Mrs. Hashimoto said with a sideways gesture inward.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai nodded their heads in greeting to the couple and headed straight inside. Although the Hashimoto family’s house was not as large as their own, it was already able to highlight their status as a wealthy class.

There was a self-absorbed woman in a plain black dress playing the violin to cheer up the guests. Her skill, even if it was skillful, left the guests in the room with no desire to listen in silence.

“You’re making good progress, you’re getting better at socializing. You’re practicing to be a repeat offender of fake smiles.” Masayoshi Kishimoto looked at Rie Sakai beside himself and said with more than a playful smile.

“And it’s not because of you. If you hadn’t bought this place, we wouldn’t be living here, and it wouldn’t have forced me to join the Rosebud Society.

What kind of a place is the Rosebud Society? You don’t believe you wouldn’t know better. Even if Mrs. Hashimoto helped Mei-Ling get into school, it was calculated. If there is no help or value to her, there is no more positive initiative.” Rie Sakai said bluntly.

“It’s good to know it in your heart, so why do you need to voice it out here! Aren’t you afraid of being overheard?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without changing his smile.

“So what if someone hears it? I just don’t believe that there’s anyone here who wouldn’t understand the same?” Sakai Rie had absolutely no need to hide in front of him, and said bluntly.

“Do you need me to accompany you to greet them one by one? Otherwise, people won’t know I’m your fianc茅.” Masayoshi Kishimoto squeezed his eyebrows and said.

“Is there a need for this one? Here, who doesn’t know that my fianc茅, Masayoshi Kishimoto, is the chairman of the Hard Gold Group? In terms of strength, our family is the strongest, and it should also be them taking the initiative to come over and greet us.

Why should we lower ourselves? Besides, don’t forget that the scandalous intimate photo of you and your group company’s image spokesperson, the popular actress Kyoko Fukada, was also on the cover of an issue of Weekly Bunshun.

For this reason, there was a big fuss for a while. Even if each of them didn’t say it, they all knew it. Not to mention that it was written in Weekly Bunshun that your total assets are conservatively estimated to be over one trillion yen.” Sakai Rie said nonchalantly.

“You also believe what was written on the top of Weekly Bunshun. It also says there that at one point in time my ancestor was also the daimyo of Shikoku Kochi Prefecture.

Our family has been rich for three generations, and I am a blue-blooded nobleman. In fact, if others are not clear, are you not clear?” Masayoshi Kishimoto cried out.

“Although there are some places written above in Weekly Bunshun that are untrue, the whole is still relatively true.” Sakai Rie still lingered on his relationship with Fukada Kyouko and said.

“Right now, we’re outside, I’m not going to argue with you. When we get home, I’ll have a good talk with you.” Justice Kishimoto said with the greater good in mind.

At this time, the Rosy Club’s Chairman Oda was walking towards Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai with her own husband. The husband and wife were wearing the fake smiles of a social occasion on their faces.

“I saw you two making out from afar. Is it hard to believe that you are discussing when to get married?” Chairman Oda said without haste.

“No. We were just chatting about something. Tonight, Mrs. Hashimoto here is really nice!” Rie Sakai responded.

“I know that you and Mrs. Hashimoto have a good relationship. However, I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to want to serve as the next Vice President of the Rosebud Society.

I think you would be a very suitable candidate to serve as the next vice president instead.” After a simple line of pleasantries, Chairman Oda cut to the chase and said.

“I’ve only joined the Rosebud Society for a short while, and I haven’t fully understood what’s going on yet. Vice President truly isn’t for me. Not to mention that I’m still in college, so I really don’t have much time.” Sakai Rie politely declined.

“You’re really too modest. I genuinely think you’re suitable to be the next vice president. It wouldn’t hurt for you to give my suggestion some thought.” Chairman Oda said in a serious manner.

Sakai Rie took the initiative to change the subject and said, “Let me introduce you to the chairman! Next to me is my fianc茅, Masayoshi Kishimoto.

Next to our Chairman is her husband, Prof. Onoda. The Onoda family has been practicing medicine for four generations.”

“I really don’t deserve it. Compared to Kishimoto-kun’s endeavors, our Onoda family’s small private hospital is really not worth mentioning.” Prof. Onoda said with self-awareness.

“Professor Onoda, you are too modest.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said politely.

“No, no, in the future, if there is anything I need to trouble Kishimoto-kun with, I hope you will not excuse me.” Prof. Oda said with a sense of purpose.

“If it’s within my ability, I certainly won’t excuse myself. If it’s beyond my ability, I’ll love it.” Masayoshi Kishimoto made his words watertight and said.

“If it’s convenient, let’s make an appointment for tomorrow at three o’clock in the afternoon, and I’ll personally come to your house to pay a visit.” Professor Oda struck while the iron was hot and said.

“Alright, we’ll just have afternoon tea together.” Masayoshi Kishimoto believed that he definitely had something to ask for an interview. Not only that, it was something quite urgent.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly scheduled the time for tomorrow. From the top of social etiquette, this would be a rather rude behavior.

“Thank you.” Prof. Oda suddenly stood upright for a moment and said with a forty-five degree bow towards him.

Masayoshi Kishimoto immediately performed a return bow as a junior. He himself immediately thought in his heart that the other party’s matter would not be simple, I’m afraid.
