Chapter 203 The Woman Who Can't Beat Even an Elephant
When Little Carrot Head angrily spanked the sisters' butts, Yoko was lying on a princess bed that was so soft that people could sink into it, and as big as a small room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Her work and rest schedule has not been changed yet. In the past, this time period was the time when Kitahara Shuji would finish work and go home. It was also the happiest time of her day. But now she bid farewell to her Onisan and came to this place that legally belongs to
It was her home, but it was a completely unfamiliar place emotionally, and it was even more difficult to sleep.
It has been almost two weeks and she is still a little scared.
This place can't be said to be bad. She has a large suite of her own. The dressing room alone is bigger than her previous bedroom, and it is also filled with all the clothes that a quasi-girl of her age can own, except for shoes.
There are at least two hundred pairs - all of them are new seasonal products that she has only seen in magazines before, but now she can wear one and lose the other.
Not to mention other things, everything is extremely exquisite and has everything you need, even a vase looks extremely expensive, and the full-time housekeeper and groups of servants prevent her from even touching the housework.
The living environment is also quite good. She used to live in a relatively chaotic slum, but after meeting her Onisan, she moved to a very remote suburb, and now she lives in Setagaya-ku, the most affluent area in Tokyo.
It is a residential area formed after the first wave of urbanization in Japan receded in the last century, when wealthy people moved out of the noisy city center. It once led the rise in housing prices in Japan together with Meguro District. Even now, it can be said that every inch of land is at a premium.
.
When living in Setagaya Ward in Japan, people's first impression is probably that of "rich people".
The environment here is quite elegant and peaceful. It is rare to see high-rise buildings with more than six floors. They are either self-built two or three-story villas, or a giant traditional house like her "cheap grandpa". Everything looks pleasing to the eye, and
Not to mention the public security, the people who live here are either rich or expensive. It is definitely one of the top three places of concern for the Metropolitan Police Department in the 23rd district of Dongshuodu, which is very reassuring.
Her "cheap grandpa" Kagura Haretsuna was quite good, and provided her with extremely superior living conditions. It was not too much to call her a princess, but Yoko always felt that something was missing. Without Kitahara Shuji
, she always felt unsure, always in a state of panic, and she did not dare to tell Kitahara Hideji all this via email, for fear that he would be worried about his future - she knew Kitahara Hideji, as long as she said it here
If she is unhappy, then her Onisan will use his brains to find a way to rescue her, and when the enemy is strong and we are weak, that will cause Kitahara Hideji a lot of trouble.
That's not good, so it can't be done, but I really want to see Ou Ni-san... I want to think about it so much! But now I can't even leave here, and I can't even get close to the courtyard gate. What should I do?
Yoko held the pendant on her chest and the copper button that was attached to the pendant, and touched the bank card that she put on her body when she slept - she always carried these three things, even when taking a shower.
Putting it where the eyes can see it represents the proof that she is Kitahara Hideji's sister, Kitahara Hideji's promise to her future, and the main property of her and Kitahara Hideji's small family - she confirmed that these three things are still there.
, thinking about what Kitahara Hideji said when he said goodbye, he gritted his teeth: to be as strong as Onisan, no matter how painful it is, you must try your best to move forward.
People cannot wait for the environment to adapt to themselves, but always take the initiative to adapt to the environment, so that they can survive, get better and better, and achieve their goals!
Frustration and fear are useless, analyze rationally, determine the plan, don't look back after making the decision, move forward courageously, and implement it strictly.
Be as strong as R-chan, and be a woman who cannot be defeated by an elephant! Be like R-chan, and return to Onisan even if you are facing an elephant!
Yoko recalled the "big principles" that Kitahara Shuji usually said and her spiritual idol, then turned over and sat up, took a deep breath and looked at her watch, then straightened her pajamas, put on her slippers, and
As he was about to leave the room, Hyakujiro raised his head from the cushion in the corner of the room, yawned with a dog-like grin, and looked at Master No. 1 with some confusion - he was very adaptable here and had successfully evolved into a rich man.
The dog is pregnant and has gained weight again.
Loyalty is indeed rewarded. After going through many twists and turns with Master No. 1, he finally settled into a life of lying down and eating meat. If he goes back to Master No. 1 to apply for a wife, he will have no regrets about his life.
It stood up slowly, preparing to follow owner No. 1, but Yoko made a gesture to it, indicating that it could just sleep, then opened the heavy door and ducked out.
Hyakujiro is very understanding of human nature. He trembled his ears and listened to the footsteps of the little master No. 1 slowly moving away, and he lay down again - he didn't know how the master No. 2 was doing, so why not come and enjoy the happiness together? I always felt that in the past
Master No. 2 is stupid, it seems that he is really stupid, and I can't persuade him.
Alas, it's so pitiful...
…………
It was past twelve o'clock in the morning, and Kagura Haretsuna hadn't rested yet. He was sitting at his desk and continuing to handle official duties.
He came back just after eleven o'clock. Tonight he made an appointment with an old friend from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry for dinner and exchanged opinions on some of the current difficulties in the banking industry. What was frustrating was that there was still nothing gained.
The deposit balance of Japan's banks and credit unions has approached 1,000 trillion yen. Although the deposit interest rate is close to zero under the bank's ultra-low interest rate policy, the deposit balance is still increasing year by year, and as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government
For the leading big banks, this is a headache that could break your heart.
Money is not something you can spend if you want to. If no one borrows money, what is the use of holding large deposits in the bank? The amount of funds absorbed has exceeded the scope of use, and even though the deposit interest rate has been reduced
It has reached a level of 0.001% that would shatter the eyes of other countries. It is just to reduce the pressure on the national banking industry, but the pressure still cannot be reduced.
During Japan's economic bubble period, it shouted that it wanted to buy the United States. The deposits collected by banks were lent to companies at high interest rates, and the rest was used to purchase national debt. It was not enough at all. The whole country was really carnival and prosperous.
At that time, the bankers wanted to rush into residents' homes and smash up the so-called "cabinet banks". They hated the bad habit of hiding money in their own cabinets. As a result, they couldn't find it anymore after being slapped twice by the United States.
North, times have changed again.
The economy is in a slump, the real estate industry has been declining year by year, the population is declining, the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, and the number of people and companies who want to borrow money has decreased exponentially. When the bubble of people who love to borrow money burst, most of them jumped off the building, and the media blamed the economic collapse.
In the banking and financial industries, demonization has not stopped in the past ten years or so. They shout every day that "down-to-earth work is the virtue of the Japanese." Even stock trading has almost become synonymous with opportunism and taking advantage of others.
All the people are scared. They no longer dare to believe the nonsense that adding value through financial management is a shortcut to retirement. They have all begun to save money honestly to prepare for their old age. And companies no longer dare to engage in large-scale financing to triple jump, but there is no such thing.
People wonder if banks can bear it!
It is a pool of stagnant water, where funds can only go in and out, and cannot flow at all. The government accuses the banks of being incompetent and keeps yelling at you all day long about what use you useless people are...
The government was asked to agree to charge a custody fee for bank deposits, but the politicians refused to agree for the sake of votes. No one, whether they were in the government or in the opposition, dared to initiate the proposal - this is simply a waste of martial arts and self-inflicted.
This move will definitely scold the voters, thinking that they have collected black money from the banking industry. It is estimated that even if they lobby hard, and the situation becomes worse and worse, this proposal can be proposed and passed. It may take ten years.
The above may not be realized until 2018.
How to solve such a dilemma? The general trend is almost irresistible!
Kagura Jiuzuna looked through various data, feeling a little dizzy and feeling powerless.
After all, I am old...
He just rubbed the corners of his eyes when he heard a knock on the study door, and immediately frowned slightly.
He doesn't like others to disturb him when he is thinking. He needs to be particularly quiet, and the servants at home know that unless there is something particularly urgent.
He leaned back on the chair and said calmly: "Come in." He started from scratch and has been able to keep his emotions in check, but if the other person can't give a good reason, he can't deal with them.
You will definitely not be polite.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Yoko revealed a little head. He smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa, I made you some tea. Do you want to use some?"
She has already observed that this "Cheap Grandpa" and her "Cheap Brother" have the same problem. They sleep very little and are extremely energetic. They basically go to bed at one or two o'clock and get up early in the morning -
She had been struggling with Kitahara Shuji for half a year, and she seemed to have this problem. Apart from the extreme pain when getting up in the morning, she did not feel any other discomfort in her body. On the contrary, she felt that the day was inexplicably much longer, and she could do more.
So many things.
Kagura Haruzuna didn't expect that the only "Sandaime" who had been recovered so far was here. He involuntarily left the back of the chair and looked at the sweet smile on Yoko's face and the uneasiness behind this sweet smile.
Yoko has been secretly observing him during this period, and he is also observing Yoko, but so far he has not found any major faults with this child.
This child is always smiling sweetly. He has been here for almost half a month and has never lost his temper. He has never been picky about where he is, and he has never expressed that he wants anything. The only question he has is to ask.
She asked the housekeeper if she could put the dog in her room, and promised again and again that the carpet would not be stained. She was smiling at everyone, even the lowest-level servants, with a smile that was vaguely flattering.
Maybe she can only protect herself in this strange place, but she has always called her grandfather with a sweet smile on the first day she arrived here. She is not as brainless and stubborn as ordinary children, and now she even takes the initiative to bring tea.
Still quite surprising.
She could be said to be a well-behaved child, or a child who is good at forbearing, or she may be relatively cowardly in nature - she was not allowed to go out, or even approach the courtyard gate, but she agreed with a smile, without any objection, and even had the room.
They rarely come out.
She also has good self-control. Although no one cares about her, she still consciously wakes up on time every day. She also studies the things taught by her tutor seriously. However, judging from the teacher's reaction, her qualifications are mediocre.
However, although there is no major problem for the time being, after all, her father is a playboy and her mother is a barmaid. Children born from two wastes always make people suspicious, and they need to be carefully observed.
Kagura Jitsuna just stared at Yoko, and he had a pair of eagle eyes. His gaze was too sharp for an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and it could easily bring about a heavy sense of oppression, but Yoko worked hard to maintain the sweetness.
A smile that showed no sign of flinching.
No matter what, she must please this Kagura Jitsuna, adapt to the environment here, and then strive for a certain degree of freedom. It is best to influence the decision of this cheap grandfather. In the future, she must not prevent her from returning to her Onisan, let alone do it casually.
It affected her life.
Although she can't be called powerful, she believes that as long as she works hard, she will eventually have a happy ending, just like the brave R-chan.
Time seemed to have frozen in the room, and Kagura Jiuzuna finally withdrew his gaze after a long time and said slowly: "Come in, Yoko."
