Chapter 423: A Contented Man is Always Happy

At 12:00 noon, Masayoshi Kishimoto, Ryosuke Natsume, Mirei Sakai, and Mirai Yamada arrived at the Kiraku Japanese Restaurant.

Since they had called beforehand, the owner’s wife received them personally with a cheerful face. She led Masayoshi Kishimoto and Ryosuke Natsume into the most luxurious private room where Makoto Mizushima and his secretary were staying.

Sakai Mirei and Yamada Mirai were ushered into another private room by another waitress in the store dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono.

Sakai Mirei and Yamada Mirai sat down facing each other and began to order from the menu on the table. The two of them were neither modest nor polite, and directly ordered some of the dishes that each of them loved to eat on a regular basis. After the waitress took the order, she retreated and closed the door.

Yamada Mirai did not humble herself and looked flatly at this beautiful young girl sitting directly across from her and said, “You should still be studying, right!”

“Aye. I don’t think it’s been too long since you’ve been the head of the secretary’s office for Brother Justice! Before, I haven’t seen you before.” Sakai Meiling’s two eyes were like curved moons as she smiled.

Although Yamada Mirai was meeting her for the first time, she was able to tell that her relationship with Kishimoto Masayoshi was not ordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought the other party here and allowed himself to have one as a companion.

Yamada Mirai knew that the Chairman was a man of one size fits all, and that work and life did not mix. The most important thing is that she herself did not rely on her looks to get to the top, but relied on her outstanding work performance to get the position based on her ability.

Yamada Mirai looked quite relaxed, no sense of nervousness at all, and no thoughts of pleasing and flattering the other party inside her head.

Knowing that the chairman had a fianc茅e whose last name was also Sakai, she asked with a sense of purpose, “What is Ms. Sakai Rie’s relationship to you?”

“She’s my own sister.” Even if Sakai Meiling did not want to verbally acknowledge this objective fact, she could not deny it. Inside her heart, she was still haunted by the fact that her sister had become Masayoshi Kishimoto’s fianc茅e instead of herself.

The position of Mrs. Zaibatsu was not only too tempting, but it was also so close and within her reach. How could she die?

After Yamada Mirai heard her say that, she wasn’t surprised that the chairman was kind to her. She didn’t change a single thing just because of that, and still kept her initial attitude.

Yamada Mirai took it all as if she was just chatting with her, ”It seems that you are sensitive to fashion and are quite knowledgeable about it. I for one don’t know much about clothes.

However, fortunately, being in this line of work, it saves a lot of problems with choices. A professional outfit for work can take care of everything.”

“I can always accompany you on a shopping trip if you need to.” Sakai Meiling countered by trying to pull in and befriend the other party saying.

“How can I be so kind as to trouble you? You should still focus on your studies at the moment.” Yamada Mirai saw through her small mind at a glance.

She had been in the workplace for many years, and especially in the last one or two years, she had seen a lot of people who wanted to draw her in and befriend her.

Her heart is like a mirror, the reason why she is able to have today’s position, it is all because of the president’s trust and cultivation. She couldn’t lose the long-term benefits because of the small benefits.

Besides, her position as the head of the secretary’s office was not irreplaceable. Even she herself knew very well that there were quite a few people in the company who wanted to take her position.

It was just that they didn’t directly reveal their ambitions. If there was a vacancy, all sorts of demons, ghosts and spirits would start to emerge.

The first thing she did was to be loyal to the chairman, followed by repaying the favor of knowing her. Sakai Mirei’s little trick was a fool’s errand in front of her.

“Reading well is nothing more than getting into a good university. The ultimate goal of studying well in college is still not to find a good job and have another good income.” Sakai Meiling said bluntly.

“You’re so cute looking, with both your own sister and the chairman’s help, then the future will definitely not be bad, only good. The good conditions you have, that’s something that not many people can envy.

Unlike people like me, if I don’t work hard, there will be no place for me in society.” Yamada Mirai said with a faint smile.

“Marrying someone is indeed a shortcut that can change our fate as girls.” Sakai Mirei wasn’t just saying that casually. She wasn’t the only one, but more or less everyone among her generation had this kind of thinking.

A girl who didn’t want to change her fate by marrying someone else would only be able to be amongst the rich and powerful themselves. Otherwise, it would be a more noble girl like her sister.

Even if they struggled hard, there were many girls who did so in order to find a man of a higher rank in the future. Japanese society is a patriarchal society, and it is not easy for women to survive in such a society.

Otherwise, why is the poverty rate of Japanese women much higher than that of men? Not only that, but their income is also one-third less on average.

“Everyone has a destiny. Your destiny is good, destined to not suffer in this life.” Yamada Mirai calmly said.

“How come I don’t feel that? Then what’s a fate like my sister’s?” Sakai Mirei said with a sudden frown on her brow and a hint of sadness showing on her face.

As soon as Yamada Mirai took one look at her, she realized that the sisters were competing with each other. In her opinion, this was extremely normal. It was common for Japanese families to have many children. Plus, human nature inherently liked to win and disliked losing.

Of course Yamada Mirai would not say that Sakai Rie was destined to be born as a plutocrat’s wife. Like this kind of destiny, and can only be controlled and manipulated by human power?

The fact that a man like the chairman was able to achieve such extraordinary results in a short period of time already proved that he was the Chosen One and the best of men. The fact that Sakai Rie was also the girl he was married to was a result that not even anyone would have predicted.

Even the parties involved were outside the realm of expectation. It had been arranged by the heavens long ago, just like the probability of winning the first prize. Not to mention that people couldn’t calculate it, even computers, couldn’t calculate it.

“Compared to you, what is my life then? People are more angry than people.” Yamada Mirai said bluntly.

“I think your life is quite good too!” Sakai Meiling squeezed a smile on her face and said.

“It depends on what one is compared to. In the eyes of quite a few people, I do count as having made a good living. A social elite, with a high income, good benefits, decent job, and in a big-handed enterprise.

In fact, I am quite contented, do not want to compare with anyone, contented people are always happy. People live, always eyes towards the top, I’m afraid is never happy, after all, there is a sky beyond the sky, there are people beyond the people.” Yamada Mirai said truthfully.
