After lunch, at Zheng Jinxi's reminder, Mihui Mitsui took her boyfriend to visit her large villa to eat.
The two wandered around the villa and then came to Mitsui Mie's boudoir.
Before entering the house, Mitsui Mie leaned against the door and said hello in advance: "Let me tell you, my room may be a little different from other girls' rooms. You are not allowed to laugh at me, please!"
"Don't worry, I'll try not to laugh."
Zhang Guoji couldn't help but joked.
"Oh well!"
Mitsui Mie turned around and opened the door.
What comes into view are rows of brown solid wood shelves, with no hint of a bedroom at all.
Zhang Guoji suddenly showed an incredible expression: "Sister Meihui, did we go to the wrong room?"
"No, you will know when you come in."
Mitsui Mie shook her head slightly.
Zhang Guoji reached out and touched his pocket, then followed his girlfriend into the room.
After entering the house, he quickly scanned around.
The room is very large, about 200 square meters.
However, most of the space was taken up by book shelves, and only one corner of the room contained a single bed, as well as simple furniture such as a dressing table and a computer desk.
Mihui Mitsui walked to the shelf, her eyes full of satisfaction. She picked a collection from the shelf and showed it to her boyfriend proudly:
"I have loved collecting specimens of various small animals since I was a child. These are all the fruits of my hard work."
Zhang Guoji looked at the Squirrel Mouse notebook in his girlfriend's hand and instantly felt his scalp numb. He couldn't help but complain:
"Your hobby is really unique. Most girls collect items like bags, dolls, and shoes. To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of a girl who likes stuffed animals."
"Bags and shoes are too superficial. How can these animal specimens be interesting?" Mitsui Mie paused and immediately handed the squirrel notebook to her boyfriend: "Don't you think little squirrels are cute?"
"Cute is cute." Zhang Guoji stroked the squirrel's fur, "But wouldn't it be more fun to feed it?"
"Of course you can feed them, but you can only feed a few dozen species at most, and you can't feed more than that. If you look at my place, there are more than 30,000 species in total."
Mitsui Mie explained casually.
Zhang Guoji put the squirrel specimens back on the shelf, and then visited them carefully. These specimens were mainly insects, plus some small animals.
Most of the small animals are birds. In addition, there are some small skeletons, various shells, and a small number of paleontological fossils.
"Why are there no large specimens?"
"Large specimens take up too much space, and their maintenance is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not cost-effective. In comparison, I still prefer small specimens."
Mitsui Mie paused for a moment, then picked up a butterfly specimen:
"Butterfly specimens are my favorite type and the most collected category. I have collected more than 20,000 butterfly specimens in total, with more than 3,000 species, which is richer than the collections of many natural history museums."
"So many? Are they all here?"
Mitsui Mie shook her head: "Here are my favorite specimens that I specially selected. The others are stored in a large warehouse in the suburbs. I am going to find an opportunity to donate them to our school."
"Awesome! I support you!"
Zhang Guoji gave a thumbs up on the spot.
You know, there are only 15,000 kinds of butterflies in the entire federation, and my girlfriend has collected one-fifth of them alone. It is really an exaggeration. I am afraid that only top chaebols like the Mitsui family have such financial resources.
Mihui Mitsui waved her hand modestly: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. In fact, more than two-thirds of the specimens in my hands were picked up accidentally.
When Mount Fuji volcano erupted, many private museums on the island became neglected. My father and I borrowed a sum of money, and finally, after a lot of effort, we were able to rescue a batch of the most precious specimens."
"Sister Meihui, can you make specimens by yourself?"
Zhang Guoji followed closely and said tentatively.
He is not discriminating against people who make specimens, but he just feels uncomfortable.
Because just a few years ago, Europa captured a notorious serial killer who brutally murdered hundreds of innocent people in just ten years.
According to news reports, this serial killer has loved dissecting small animals since he was a child. Although this hobby is indecent, it does not affect other people.
But later, with the complete collapse of Blue Star's ecological environment, wild animals were almost extinct. Even if they were not dead, the price was not affordable by ordinary people.
In the end, through various chances and coincidences, the serial killer embarked on a path of no return.
Mitsui Mie didn't notice her boyfriend's expression, but nodded eagerly and said:
"Of course!"
After saying that, she happily pulled her boyfriend to a row of antique shelves: "This row is full of my most satisfying works, don't they look good?"
"Good-looking! So beautiful!"
Zhang Guoji glanced at it and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, his girlfriend was quite restrained. All she made were insect specimens, which were at least not that bloody.
Come to think of it, girls are very timid.
After visiting all the specimens, the two left the bedroom and then came to the yard.
Mihui Mitsui pointed to the glass house in front of her and introduced with a smile: "Zhang Guoji, this is our family's private garden. Do you want to visit it?"
"Okay!" Zhang Guoji couldn't ask for more.
Soon, the two entered the glass room hand in hand.
The scenery inside did not disappoint.
Although the garden area is limited, it is not inferior to several large parks in the city, and because it is a private garden, it adds many Japanese characteristics.
It makes people feel fresh and new.
After a tour, Zhang Guoji couldn't help but ask: "Sister Meihui, such a big garden is a bit of a waste. Wouldn't it be better to leave a few pieces of land to grow some vegetables? You can feel more confident eating the vegetables you grow yourself."
"This garden is where my grandfather and father hold hometown gatherings. If part of it is used to grow vegetables, it will look out of place. Moreover, our family has a small population and does not need much food. Someone will deliver it every day."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mitsui Mie explained casually.
In fact, this garden was only built a few years ago. In order to obtain a permit, the family went through a lot of trouble, and finally it was named a botanical garden.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoji took the opportunity to test and said:
"Sister Meihui, I remember you said this morning that my uncle planned to sell this villa. If he really sells the villa, wouldn't grandpa and the others have no place to gather?"
"It doesn't matter. At worst, we can just change the place. The garden is not the only option."
"It would be a pity to sell such a beautiful garden."
Zhang Guoji sighed deliberately.
Mihui Mitsui smiled bitterly: "I think it would be better to sell it. Since we got this garden, our home has immediately turned into a club. People come and go every day, and there is no private space at all."
This is also the main reason why she moved out.
"Ahem, Sister Meihui, I want to discuss something with you."
Zhang Guoji felt that the time had come.
"What's up?"
"I want to buy your villa, what do you think?" Zhang Guoji said straight to the point.
"You?" Mitsui Mie asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's me. We're getting married soon. Isn't the wedding room not yet secured?"
"Marriage house? Where did you get so much money?"
Mitsui Mie was shocked.
As far as she knew, when her boyfriend's twin brother got married, he only chose a small villa as his wedding room. Did the eldest son and eldest grandson receive special treatment?
"You don't have to worry about money. I plan to take advantage of the boom in room temperature superconducting and sell part of the shares of Shuguang Company. I can cash out at least hundreds of billions. This is what my dad wants."
Zhang Guoji added one final sentence.
"This..." Mitsui Mie was stunned for a moment.
In order to dispel his girlfriend's doubts, Zhang Guoji immediately knelt down on one knee, took out the ring he had prepared in advance from his pocket, and said loudly:
"Sister Meihui, please let me protect you for the rest of your life! Will you marry me?"
Facing this sudden proposal, Mitsui Mie fell into great happiness.
She wiped the tears from her eyes, and then extended her right hand without hesitation: "I do!"
Several gardeners who were working in the garden applauded when they saw this scene:
"Pa bang bang..."
Zhang Guoji excitedly held his girlfriend's right hand, kissed her hard, and then carefully put the engagement ring on her middle finger.
"Pa bang bang..."
The gardeners applauded even more enthusiastically.
Soon, Zheng Jinxi and others rushed over after hearing the news and sent their best wishes. At the same time, the last stone in the hearts of the three of them fell to the ground.
…
Returning to the villa again, Mitsui Mie took the initiative to mention that her fiancé wanted to buy their villa.
Mitsui Kunihiro didn't have many surprises. Some people have made statistics and found that the wealth of the governor's family is as high as more than 500 billion. It is not difficult to spend several billion.
Tatsuo Hirakawa couldn't help but remind him: "Kuniji-kun, your father is now a consul. To put it bluntly, his every move is the focus of the entire federation. Such a huge transaction between our two families will inevitably cause an uproar.
I think it’s better to be cautious.”
"this……"
Zhang Guoji instantly became hesitant.
What the other party said is not unreasonable.
Zheng Zhenxi immediately interjected: "Guoji, Meihui just told me that you are the chairman of Shuguang Company?"
"Yes, but I am the chairman in name only and have no business." Zhang Guoji nodded.
"Don't be discouraged. You are still young. This is normal." Kunihiro Mitsui quickly comforted him.
"I understand. In fact, I am not very interested in running a company." Zhang Guoji told the truth.
"Interest can be cultivated slowly." Tatsuo Hirakawa took a sip of tea and then changed the topic: "Let's not talk about it for now. I heard that Sugon Company has developed room temperature superconductivity? Is it true?"
"It's not certain yet, but it's very likely."
"This is a blessing for the Federation and an opportunity for you, Lord Ji, and it also once again proves the consul's foresight." Hirakawa Tatsuo suddenly increased his voice.
As we all know, the Archon has the nickname "Magic Calculator", which is also the consensus of the federal business community.
"Well, actually, my dad just did it casually and didn't have high expectations."
Zhang Guoji answered truthfully.
At least, that's what his father told him.
Tatsuo Hirakawa waved his hand: "Your father's achievements are obvious to all. There is no need to be so modest. Let's go back to Shuguang Company. Does Kuniki-kun have any thoughts on selling his shares?"
Zhang Guoji nodded and quickly expressed his position: "Grandpa, if Mitsui Group wants to buy shares, I can give priority to selling them to your company."
"Don't go to such trouble. Don't you want to buy our villa? How about this? We can exchange the villa for your shares. What do you think?"
Tatsuo Hirakawa proposed a trading method.
Zhang Guoji was obviously worried and hesitantly said: "As you said just now, this matter is harmful to my father..."
Hirakawa Tatsuo smiled and explained: "It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly. What I mean is that our Mitsui Group does not need shares. After you get married, you can just transfer the shares to Meihui's name.
In addition, this villa does not need to be traded and can be directly used as Meihui's dowry, so there is no need to worry about causing any criticism."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guoji was completely stunned.
He doesn't understand, what is the other party planning?
In other words, they want Meihui to get divorced again, so that they can legitimately take back what they gave away, and double it.
If this is the case, the two families will inevitably turn against each other. It seems that the gains outweigh the losses. After all, the old Zhang family is not a vegetarian.
On the other side, Mitsui Mie was equally confused. She immediately advised: "Grandpa..."
Hirakawa Tatsuo interrupted his granddaughter: "Mihui, please don't speak yet. Grandpa does this under certain conditions. I hope you and Kuniki-kun can think about it carefully."
"Grandpa, what are your conditions?"
Zhang Guoji took advantage of the situation and asked.
Zheng Jinxi on the side was also full of curiosity.
Kunihiro Mitsui was much calmer. It seemed that the father and son had passed their breath in advance.
Hirakawa Tatsuo did not beat around the bush: "I hope that among the sons you will give birth to in the future, you will choose one to change his surname to Mitsui and become the future heir to the Mitsui Group."
"What?" Zhang Guoji couldn't help being shocked.
It's not that this condition is too extreme, on the contrary, it is too simple.
Or to put it another way, this condition is not so much a request as it is an active offer.
Hirakawa Tatsuo took a deep breath and continued: "Kuniki-kun, originally we wanted to recruit you as a wife and let you inherit the Mitsui Group, but we all know that this is impossible..."
"Wait a minute, let me think about it. Sister Meihui is not an only child. Doesn't she also have Xingyi? Isn't Xingyi your uncle's biological child?"
Zhang Guoji spoke without hesitation.
"Ahem, Lord Guoji, Xingyi is our biological son, there is no doubt about it."
Kunihiro Mitsui quickly explained.
"That you?"
Zhang Guoji's face was full of doubts.
With a biological son here, how could there be any reason to let a son-in-law take over? Besides, according to my girlfriend, although my brother-in-law is a bit playful, he is definitely not a playboy.
Besides, the child is still young, so it makes no sense to make a decision now, which is really puzzling.
Hirakawa Tatsuo took a deep breath and explained patiently: "Kuniki-kun, in your Daxia dialect, let's open the sky and speak openly. Xingyi has no ability to bring the Mitsui family back together. Only you, Kuniki-kun, can
Or maybe your son has this ability."
"Forget me, Sister Meihui and I's son hasn't been born yet? How do you know he has this ability?" Zhang Guoji said in surprise.
"Haha...Kuni-kun, you should understand."
Hirakawa Tatsuo smiled slightly.
Zhang Guoji quickly reacted and blurted out: "You want to use my dad's..."
"That's right. In addition, your Shuguang Company should not be underestimated. Looking across the entire federation, I can't find a more suitable ally than your family."
Hirakawa Tatsuo simply admitted.
"Isn't this too unfair to Xingyi?"
Zhang Guoji hesitated.
As for letting his son change his surname to Mitsui, it doesn't bother him at all. In recent years, there has been a trend in the local area of taking his mother's surname, and he doesn't mind either.
The best thing to do is to have a few more sons.
Mitsui Kunihiro shook his head and advised him helpfully: "If Xingyi is allowed to inherit the family business, the Mitsui Group will always be in disarray and will never be able to make its mark. This will further disgrace our ancestors. Don't worry, Kokuki-kun."
