Chapter 730: The Great Bitterness
Kishimoto Masayoshi returned to his room and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. By the time he walked out, he saw that Sakai Rie was already sitting on the edge of his bed.
From the very beginning of their acquaintance to now, the husband and wife still maintained the habit of sleeping in separate beds even though they had a son. Whoever had that one area of need, then whoever took the initiative to go to the other’s room.
Masayoshi Kishimoto playfully said, “What, you want to work side by side with me tonight?”
Sakai Rie rushed at him with her customary big blank stare and said, “Tonight, I don’t have that one good mood that you mentioned. Earlier, in front of Yuki, I couldn’t say it. Now, it’s just me and you.”
“When you say that, it makes me is excited for nothing. I thought I would be able to create a brother or a sister for our son with you on this one flowery night tonight!” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he turned to sit down once he had walked next to her.
“Can you be serious? I’m talking to you about something serious.” Rie Sakai feigned anger.
“Where am I being immodest? Your main duty is to open up a branch for our Kishimoto family. Nowadays, you have only given birth to one. That’s not nearly enough.
At the very least, you must give me another daughter to complete the good character in the kanji. To have a child and a daughter, life is complete.” Masayoshi Kishimoto smiled and said.
“With more children, you’re not afraid of constant troublesome things in the future. You can never get around the question of who will succeed you in the future in the position of Hard Gold Group Chairman? You’re never going to stop dying!” Sakai Rie said as she stared at him sideways.
Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly collapsed his body towards the back, facing the ceiling and said, “In the future, whoever has the strongest ability will take over.
However, even if I wait another fifty years, I may not be able to wait for my death. I am determined to live and work until I die. As long as I don’t die, no one will be able to get their hands on this one position of mine.”
“If, and I’m just assuming, if our family were to have some kind of crisis, such as what happened to Yuki’s family, what could be done? Of course, if you live, there won’t be any problems.
If you died, what would happen to our descendants? There is absolutely no way that all of our children and grandchildren will be as powerful as you.” Sakai Rie said with a face full of worry.
Masayoshi Kishimoto moved his body sideways, supporting his head with his left hand, and smiled once again, “You just came to my room specifically to ask this one thing?”
“No?” Rie Sakai asked back.
“It can.” Masayoshi Kishimoto replied with an unchanged smile.
“Do you have a prevention and solution?” Rie Sakai looked at him with a serious face and said.
“Calling you a worrywart, you would never admit it. If the children and grandchildren are not capable, even if they leave behind mountains of gold and silver, they will lose it all.
If the children and grandchildren are capable, then they will be able to create mountains of gold and silver. There are certainly ways to do this. We can appoint a lawyer or a trust company to set up a fund for our children and grandchildren.
If any of our children or grandchildren are not successful, then they will go to receive their living expenses on time every month to live.” Masayoshi Kishimoto put away his smile and said.
“Is this one solution really feasible?” Sakai Rie said not quite believing it.
“Do you see me looking like I’m joking with you? Instead of raising a bunch of idle children and grandchildren like that, it would be better for me to just dissolve the Hard Gold Group and donate the money to charity without compensation.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner.
“You’re really willing to give it up?” Sakai Rie was staring at him dead on with a torch-like gaze and said.
“What am I not willing to give up. It’s you who can’t!” Justice Kishimoto laughed a little and said.
“You don’t think that I married you specifically to figure out these things. In the past, when there wasn’t, I didn’t think about it. What’s more, now that I have them, I don’t want them even more.
People who don’t know think that I’m enjoying myself, but in reality, there’s always something coming to you every day. Every month there are all kinds of invitations.
Some, you can not go, ignore, and some, you can not go, can not be ignored. Face should be given, or to give.
If you want to be a part of the show, you should be a part of the show. The should cope with, or to cope with …… how many famous families in Tokyo alone, how to prepare gifts and so on. You have to memorize all of them and choose the right ones to send.
If you don’t, you’ll be laughed at and told that the Kishimoto family is a super-rich family. For this reason, do you know how much work and homework I’ve done in private?
On top of that, you have to make trade-offs by using your brain and effort. You can’t get them together, who doesn’t get along with whom. You have to pick sides when it’s time to pick sides.
Who has a problem with who over what, and you need to step in and act as a mediating peacemaker. Are you going or not?” Sakai Rie raised her right index finger is a casual scratch, and couldn’t help but complain loudly about the bitter waterway.
“My wife worked hard.” Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that she really wasn’t just saying that. He himself had long known that there were several hundred prestigious families inside the Tokyo metropolis.
Although some of the families were already thinning out, some were still as strong as ever. It was not a simple matter to memorize what they did.
Whenever attending events in high society, Rie Sakai was always able to give herself an important reminder so that she wouldn’t get it wrong.
Some people had the same last name, but were of different races and did different things. It would be a very rude thing to confuse those in politics with those in business. The conversation would be oxymoronic.
“To this day, I have come to deeply appreciate that the middle class is downright good. In my opinion, it is most ideal for the middle class to reside upstream.” Rie Sakai lamented.
“I feel the same way. There is some money, not too much money, but far from so many things as it is now. It is true to say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
People with even greater abilities have times when they want to rest or be lazy, which in turn becomes a luxury. It’s as if one has to be just like Superman, driving at full speed and never knowing fatigue.” Justice Kishimoto resonated with her and said.
“That’s just it. Our family has even moved from Nishimabu in Minato Ward to Shinagawa Ward. I offered to step down as president of the Rosebud Society, but I was met with unanimous opposition, and was told to keep doing it, and even to take on more than one position.
Their reasoning was that with me around, the Rosebud Society wouldn’t fall from first class to third class in the Tokyo Metropolis. That’s why famous ladies are clamoring to join it.
I’m afraid that Yuki won’t be able to stay in the Rosebud Society after such a change in her family. Even if I can keep her membership in the Rosebud Club, Snow herself may not be willing to do so.
Money is the guts of the poor, and in high society, once you run out of money, it’s like being naked in front of others without clothes on.” Sakai Rie exclaimed.
