Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 216 It’s the season to see maple leaves

Ooka House in Kyoto.

A woman was leaning on a wooden chair with her eyes closed to meditate.

Although her hair has turned white and looks a little sparse, the heroic spirit revealed in her eyebrows indicates that she was once in her prime.
  By chance, a maple leaf was blown to the old man's side with the warm wind.

At this moment, she opened her eyes, picked up the red leaf, played with it for a while, then gently placed it next to the chair and closed her eyes again.

It's the maple leaf viewing season again, and the old man thought it was time to go to Rurikoin Temple and learn about the red leaves.

Unlike the old man's calmness, the middle-aged man beside him did not calm down and angrily stepped on the leaves under his feet and swirled around the yard.

He kept shouting with a straight face, "He hasn't spent all the money yet..."

I originally wanted to wait and see, but when I realized that 200 billion in money every month was distributed to a group of people who had nothing to do with the Ooka family in the name of donations, Kenji Ooka's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Just as heartbreaking, what adds fuel to the fire is that some speculators are currently advocating for a board meeting to settle old scores.

Re-election would be a shame for them. It would be a real joke if the president of the Ooka Group elected someone with a foreign surname.

"It's true, Madam, that she insisted on advocating for the dissolution of the engagement in the first place, and now that she has reached this situation, she wants to discuss countermeasures with us."

Although the original candidate for son-in-law, Fujiwara Hoshikai, had no ability or ambition, he was exactly the candidate they expected to be manipulated. Everyone only teased him and did not really object.

Compared with Hongye's happiness, their focus is more practical, that is, no matter who Hongye marries, the group still belongs to the Ooka family. Previously, they had planned that after Fujiwara Hoshikai took over the family, they would secretly use means to evade the direct lineage's management rights over the family business.

But now the old lady took the lead and created this situation, and the second surviving family member of the family head also gave everyone a blow in the head.
  The group received financing during its development, so their initial equity was diluted step by step, but it was able to remain above 33% each time.

To this end, a special rule has been established. If the shareholders' meeting resolution holds more than 33% of the shares, they have the right to veto the leadership and commercial investment of the group. The major shareholders can adjust the general direction to complete this. This is absolute equity.

Originally, the head of the Ooka family inherited 38%, but his dead father was confused in his old age and insisted on marrying his granddaughter to the abandoned son of the Fujiwara family, who is now the only heir. Fujiwara Hoshikai also tied 20% to the wedding of the two.

According to the suicide note, the equity of the two's marriage can be returned to the hands of the Ooka family, and they can gain a firm foothold at the shareholders' meeting.

Regardless of the fact that their current holdings are simply not enough to compete with the rest of the shareholders.

According to his expectations, considering his psychological condition, he should soon be spending money to vent his pent-up emotions.

An unexpected fortune is enough to destroy an ordinary person's values. After he spends all the money, it will be difficult for him to treat life with a normal attitude and wait for destruction.

At that time, they can come forward to take him back. At that time, they can not only recover the losses, but also stabilize the internal struggle of the Ooka Group.

Looking at the others in a hurry, the old man half-squinted his eyes and said calmly, "It seems that it is not easy to contact him."

It is ironic to say that she was the one who proposed to terminate the engagement, and now she wants to resume it.

"Madam, how about we just bring Fujiwara Hoshimi here, fulfill the engagement, and then use their equity to stabilize the group."

Marriage for the benefit of the family is very common. If she hadn't considered Hongye's feelings, she would have arranged this matter long ago. After all, she is her favorite granddaughter. She doesn't want to embarrass Hongye, so she comes to see her whenever she has time these days. Have a heart-to-heart talk, tell her what happened between her and the family head, and hint that it might not be bad for her to follow the family's arrangements, and the person she is waiting for may have forgotten her long ago.
  The sentence of "waiting for ten years" seems very affectionate, but in fact it is probably Hongye's wishful thinking.

In order not to verify that undetermined promise, she should actually focus on the present. After all, the second surviving family member of the family owner has forcibly tied the two together.

So she hopes to get this thing done while she is still here. Once she is gone, the rest of the family will enforce the contract, and no one will care about Hong Ye anymore.

As for Fujiwara Hoshikai, she would definitely not be dissatisfied with the previous Triple Crown winner, and she would not even terminate the engagement.

Very helpless. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "What are you doing, little Hongye? Why didn't you come to see me today?"

The butler on the side immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "Miss is reading in the study. Do you want to call me over to accompany you?"

After hearing Hongye reading, the old lady whispered, "Forget it, reading is good. Go and close the window. I'm a little cold."

For some reason, she has been feeling weak and uncomfortable recently.

"Right now, do you need a blanket?"

"No, just close the window."

After closing the window, the old man felt a little cold again, "Please go and get the blue blanket."

After getting a blanket to wrap her whole body, she asked again, "What book is Hongye reading? Is it the literary masterpiece I recommended to her before?"

The housekeeper frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "Probably not. The lady is probably reading comics at this time."

Last time, the young lady was so fascinated by a new cartoon that she saw that she asked herself to buy a complete set of comic books.

"Comic books? When did she become interested in this? No, no, no, the national competition is coming soon. How can she read such a distracting thing at this juncture? You shouldn't buy comic books for her."

Then she thought that Hongye was in a very depressed mood at the moment, and it seemed reasonable to find something that could make her happy.

"Come to me after she finishes reading. I want to take a nap."

After hearing that the lady was going to take a rest, the few people who had just been discussing also walked out of the house very wisely.

After arriving outside the door, "Hongye's marriage needs to be accelerated, and we can only delay the board of directors matters for a while. This is a problem that must be faced."

"I thought he would spend all the money and come back to us."

"He was seen in Tokyo last time. He seemed to be in good condition. He didn't look like he was short of money."

"Maybe he invested in some stores."

"Him? What kind of store can he open? Maybe he can work somewhere."

"Working? Doesn't he have the 100 million that was given to him last time? He can't spend it all in a month, right?"

I still don’t understand the operation of the family owner, and I can’t understand why he should be so nice to a stranger. Although he was indeed a genius when he won the Triple Crown undefeated at the peak of his debut, but later he refused to fight continuously. The change of ownership of the title also shows that Fujiwara Hoshikai is destined to be a short-lived figure.

"Instead of discussing this, why don't you go find out what he has been doing recently? Anyway, sooner or later, we have to bring him back."

"Then Junya, please make arrangements."

"Ah."

It's easy for the Oka family to find someone, but everyone didn't pay much attention to it before.
