Chapter 325: Charity Dinner
The next day at breakfast time, Masayoshi Kishimoto habitually sat in his seat and read the newspaper. He didn’t read all of them, but rather read what he was interested in selectively.
“The newspaper inside your hand is that good?” Sakai Rie couldn’t help but ask.
“Almost every day I have to look at this face of yours, I’ve been looking at it for years and my eyes are getting aesthetic fatigue. The content on top of the newspaper is different and fresh every day.” Justice Kishimoto blurted out.
“I’ve seen enough of this face of yours. Not only that, I’m equally fed up with having to get up and make you breakfast almost every day.” Sakai Rie instantly made a comeback saying.
Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the newspaper in his hands and playfully said, “You’ve worked hard.”
Sakai Rie instantly got up neither angry nor angry. After she was silent for a few seconds, she said unhurriedly, “On the night of December 31st, you didn’t have anything to do, did you!”
Kishimoto Masayoshi directly “thumped” in his heart. Can’t it be that she also wants her to accompany her to watch that grand fireworks display in the harbor area?
He secretly grumbled in agony while complaining that the other party was just causing trouble for him. It was with great difficulty that he had been able to deal with Fukada Kyoko and Natsui Makoto one by one. Now, things were coming back.
“Why don’t you squeak!” Sakai Rie saw that he was silent, so she prodded and said.
“Why didn’t you say something earlier?” Masayoshi Kishimoto feigned a look of embarrassment and said.
“Could it be that I still need to make an appointment for your secretary in advance?” Rie Sakai asked back in displeasure.
“Even if you really needed to, you wouldn’t do that.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.
“I received an invitation to such a charity dinner is on December 31st at eight o’clock in the evening.” Rie Sakai had a word to say.
Once Masayoshi Kishimoto heard that he wasn’t accompanying her to watch the fireworks display, then he was relieved in his heart. However, if he himself were to accompany her to the laborious charity dinner, it would be no different than a change of scenery.
“Since it’s a donation, then it’s just fine for you to go alone.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he did not intend to accompany her there.
“You’re not going?” Sakai Rie asked.
“What am I going to do? Go to see a bunch of people gather together and put on a false show? Donating a tiny bit of the money that is exploited and squeezed from others to good causes, thereby winning a good reputation and establishing a good public image.” Justice Kishimoto hit the nail on the head.
“Spoken as if you’re just different from them. You’re completely over the top compared to them. Don’t forget that your current identity is also a plutocrat. As for them, they are far worse than you.” Sakai Rie said nonchalantly.
“I’m really different from them. Our Hard Gold Group’s main business is to make investments. What is the definition of investment?
It refers to the process in which a country or a company, as well as an individual, enters into an agreement with the other party for the purpose of a specific purpose, to promote the development of society, to achieve mutual benefits, and to channel funds.
It is also an economic behavior in which a specific economic entity invests a sufficient amount of money or the monetary equivalent of a physical object into a certain field for a certain period of time in order to obtain a return or increase the value of the funds in a foreseeable future period.
It can be categorized into investment in kind, capital investment and portfolio investment. The former is to invest in the enterprise with money, and obtain certain profits through production and operation activities, and the latter is to purchase stocks and bonds issued by the enterprise with money, and indirectly participate in the profit distribution of the enterprise.
Investment is a form of innovation and entrepreneurship project incubation, and it is an economic activity of capital-boosted development of the project industrialization complex.
I can promote social development, increase employment, create value, and achieve mutual benefit, reaching a win-win situation.
As for some of the people you mentioned, either playing a zero-sum game, or playing a game of cutting leeks. Whether it is finance, or speculation in real estate, speculation this or that, etc., itself does not produce value.
Either you eat me or I eat you. The vast majority of people on the hand of the resources will be through this game above the winners and losers transferred to a very small number of people’s hands inside.
In short, I’m making a bigger cake, while others are trying to find ways to share the cake.” Masayoshi Kishimoto explained in a serious manner.
“Just you are the good guy, everyone else is the bad guy.” Rie Sakai said in disbelief.
“Granted, I’m not a good person in the traditional sense either, but I’m not as hypocritical as a good number of people.” Masayoshi Kishimoto made an objective assessment of himself and said.
“About that, I still have to admit it.” Rie Sakai didn’t just carry on with him and said.
“Let’s just have breakfast! You eat so you can go to school, and I’ll eat so I can go to work.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he folded the newspaper inside his hand before placing it smoothly on top of the dining table.
“What are you going to do on the night of December 31st, a monumental day?” Rie Sakai said, not trusting him to stay alone.
“I don’t have as much time on my hands as you do, I still have to work.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said calmly.
Sakai Rie said in disbelief, “Lying to me again.”
“What am I lying to you for? This is something I’ve long had an appointment with the Iwasaki family of the Mitsubishi Group. If my career isn’t good enough, then you won’t be qualified to attend the charity dinner.
The only way for me to become better is for you to follow suit and become better as well, thus getting more invitations from all sides.” Masayoshi Kishimoto intentionally omitted Maki Iwasaki’s name and said.
Sakai Rie’s eyes immediately showed the same kind of police officer looking at a murder suspect as always, “Really?”
“If you don’t believe me, then you can follow me!” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
“I’m not going! I don’t understand business matters, and I find it boring. I’ll go to the charity dinner and donate some money as a good deed for you.” Sakai Rie said as her eyes changed back to normal.
“Don’t you suspect that I’m going behind your back to secretly date a certain cute girl?” Masayoshi Kishimoto chuckled.
“Have fun with it. As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter to me.” Sakai Rie pretended to be on cloud nine and said.
“How can you be indifferent? We haven’t registered yet. Legally speaking, our relationship is a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, not protected by the law. I’m perfectly capable of switching.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with an unchanged smile.
“By the way you say it like you won’t switch after you get married. If you really want to switch, I’m completely helpless against you. Who made me the weaker party?” Sakai Rie spread her hands and said.
“That one joke of yours is cold. I’m the truly vulnerable party.” Justice Kishimoto sighed.
