Chapter 368: Swimming Against the Current

At noon, Masayoshi Kishimoto would go to Natsui Makoto’s place for lunch as he always did as long as he had nothing else to do. He saw that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and that it would only take time for it to ripen.

The two sat at the table facing each other as was their habit. Natsui Makoto didn’t move her chopsticks, all the time watching his look and demeanor.

“Have I grown handsome?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he noticed her gaze focused on him.

“You still have the heart to joke. I was worried sick.” Natsui Makoto said with a serious face.

“You should be worried about the child inside your belly. As for the rest, you have absolutely no need to worry.” Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up chopsticks in his right hand and said as he ate.

“I could have seen the morning news. The NASDAQ index in the United States plummeted, causing the Internet economic bubble to burst. Has your company been affected and impacted?” Natsui Makoto said worriedly.

“It lost tens of billions of dollars. If I mess up this time, my company will be finished. After all those years of hard work, one night will be able to bring me back to my childhood when my pockets were cleaner than my face.” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t even pass his head for a moment and blurted out a nonsense.

“That serious, huh?” Natsui Makoto said believingly.

“If my company went bankrupt, not only would I become a penniless pauper, but I would also be left with a huge debt that I wouldn’t be able to pay back in several lifetimes of working as a cow.

However, fortunately, I had the foresight to transfer this very house into your name in the first place.” Masayoshi Kishimoto got more and more outrageous as he spoke, saying.

Natsui Makoto was instantly dumbfounded. Her breathing suddenly became a little difficult. After looking at Masayoshi Kishimoto for a while, she said firmly, “You take this house and sell it for cash. I know, although this amount of money may not be able to help you, but it’s better than nothing!”

Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the chopsticks in his hands, both touched and crying, “Even if I sell this set of houses to realize the cash into my company, it is only a drop in the bucket.

If I really go bankrupt, what will you and your child do in the future? It will be very hard for you to raise a child on your own.

As long as you have this house in your hand, you will have a shelter from the wind and rain. If not, you can still sell this place and move to a decent apartment.

With the extra money, you and your kids will be able to live and eat without worry for decades. If you don’t think more for yourself, you should also think more for your child.”

“But, you need money more than I do right now!” Natsui Makoto said in a serious manner.

“I was teasing you with what I just said. My company is fine! Next, I’ll personally make a trip to Shenzhen, China to meet a person. This person is extraordinary.

His company will become the largest game company in the world in more than ten years. His business philosophy is that charging money will make you powerful in the middle of the game.”

Seeing that she was thinking so much about myself, Justice Kishimoto couldn’t help but tell some truth. Nowadays, she was pregnant again, so she shouldn’t be worrying and bothering about some of these things.

Natsui Makoto in turn did not believe that his words were true at this time. She was already occupied by the other party’s preconceived words.

Natsui Makoto blinked her eyes, stared at him and asked thoughtfully, “Since the economy outside is starting to get bad, why do you still want to go to Shenzhen, China?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto saw her gaze with skepticism about herself, so he had to say seriously, “Going against the trend. While others are fearful, I am greedy. If it wasn’t for this look, how would I be able to sweep up good goods at extremely cheap prices?

I swear, really didn’t lie to you. It’s hard to believe that you’re still worried that I’ll jump off the roof of a building just because the company has gone bankrupt?”

“Don’t you dare say that.” Natsui Makoto hurriedly reached out her hands and sent them in the direction of his mouth. She couldn’t reach it due to the distance between them, her short arms, and the fact that her high belly made it inconvenient.

“I’m just saying. And why should you take it seriously! Even if my company really has business difficulties, you won’t be able to help me in any way. Instead of doing pointless things, you should get on with what’s in front of you.

Nurture the fetus well, only to meet the child in your own womb when the melon is ripe.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without a trace of a meticulous smile on his face.

“You really didn’t lie to me? Your company is really just fine?” Natsui Makoto said half-heartedly.

“I really didn’t lie to you. If you still don’t believe me, then go to my company every day and stare.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“But, the experts inside the TV have already said that this plunge in the US Nasdaq Index will mess up and trigger a new round of economic crisis.” Natsui Makoto didn’t care about the economic crisis, but only cared about him, he said.

“The words of the experts on TV are the only ones you will believe. Is it for me to say that you’re naive, or just stupid?” Justice Kishimoto shook his head.

“I know I’m too stupid to help you.” Natsui Makoto suddenly said as her voice became a little choked.

“I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing. You must not take it to heart. Your body is important, and so is the child. I know you are concerned about me.” Masayoshi Kishimoto hastened to console him.

Natsui Makoto was suddenly not sad again when he said that. He was right, if he didn’t think well for himself personally, he should also think well for the child inside his belly.

“You don’t know anything about investment, so don’t listen to nonsense. If the experts inside the TV are really right, wouldn’t they have become the richest man in the world?

They do not have much practical operation, or even simply do not have, that is, scholarly opinion, over the mouth. This analysis to, analyze, are just some empty words and nonsense.

This is like those experts who teach people to speculate on stocks is exactly the same. They talk in a cloudy and eloquent manner, but they don’t really see them putting down any money to speculate.” Justice Kishimoto reasoned and presented the facts.

Natsui Makoto of course believed what he said the most, but there was also something he didn’t understand, “If that’s the case, then why does the TV station still invite them?”

“To make programs. Television stations value ratings the most. It’s only when the program has ratings that they will get companies to invest in more advertisements. As long as there are people watching, then they will cater to the tastes of that portion of the audience.

Not to mention that nine out of ten people in this world lack the ability to think independently. In order to save money, they are most likely to trust the words of the so-called experts.

As for the experts who appear in the movie, there are only two purposes. One is to seek fame and the other is to seek profit. What’s more, the TV station looking for them to do the program is not gratuitous, but will give a certain amount of labor fees. This does not exclude that there is also prior preparation of lines.” Justice Kishimoto hit the nail on the head.
