A newbie's anime life diary

Chapter 86 Doubts (1/3)

Yukino Yukinoshita, a woman who loves a good fuss, was surprised by the current situation, but found it mostly amusing.

Regardless of how Yukiteru got here, Yono knew very well that Yukiteru was here for her family, or rather, for her mother.

It seems the Yukinoshita family has really messed with some terrible monster.

Shouldn't we praise Yukino for her exceptional taste in men?

Sitting in the conference room, Yang Nai wasn't worried about her mother at all. Instead, she was thinking about this matter and thought, "Wow, impressive, I admire her."

However, Yukiteru was unaware of Haruno's thoughts. At this moment, he had already calmly taken his seat in the main seat, while Saeko Busujima was also seriously playing the role of her assistant, standing behind him.

However, it was just a matter of watching the show.

In a sense, she's similar to Yang Nai.

However, most of the time she is a competent confidante.

Xuehui gestured to the manager beside him and then settled into being a quiet observer. He wasn't good at business negotiations and wouldn't be foolish enough to act like a big shot.

Xue Ma on the other side seemed to have the same idea, leaving all the cooperation negotiations to her managers, only saying a word or two occasionally.

After a dozen minutes, Yukihiro could see that the matriarch of the Yukinoshita family was a true strong woman who had managed to develop the family business and help her husband become a prefectural councilor.

Even so, it's still unforgivable. How could the adorable Yukino-chan be given to someone else?

Xuehui remained silent, listening with a smile to the others' discussions about the collaboration. Meanwhile, Xuehui's mother, though expressionless, was secretly observing him.

'A large company, changing presidents so easily, and appointing an acting president? There's definitely something fishy going on. The Hiratsuka family... impossible. Even that family wouldn't have that kind of power, and their business acumen is different.'

As she pondered, the Ryougi family, a family she had previously overlooked, suddenly came to mind. However, she immediately dismissed it, as she considered it merely a family conglomerate stronger than the Hiratsuka family, and had never heard of any connection to the real estate industry.

How much more is there that I don't know...?

Snow Mother was in an exceptionally bad mood at this moment.

Xuehui also observed the other party without making a sound. Looking at the other party's expressionless face, it seemed that there was no emotion. However, Xuehui knew that the other party's heart was definitely not as calm as it appeared.

Yukiteru shifted his gaze slightly, looking at Yukinoshita Haruno, who had unexpectedly appeared here today.

Yang is currently just a college student, but as the successor designated by the Yukino family long ago, it's quite normal for her to get acquainted with senior figures in the industry while negotiating business deals.

It's a pity I didn't get to meet the senior, and ended up getting the chance myself.

The next second, Yukiteru's gaze met that of Yukinoshita Haruno. From her eyes, Yukiteru could clearly see the curious look of a child who had found a new toy.

Well, I've been being watched by them for a long time anyway, so I don't care if they pay a little more attention.

She's my future sister-in-law, after all; I should at least give her some face.

Half an hour later, thanks to the prior communication, the negotiations were quickly completed, and both parties signed the draft contract.

With everything settled, Xue's mother breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party hadn't interfered at all. If the other party's position as acting president was real, then with just one word, this cooperation would have truly fallen through.

However, what she didn't know was that Xuehui had initially intended to do so, but later realized that it would bring losses and was not appropriate, so he gave up.

After discussing the business matters, Xuehui knew it was his turn.

She looked at the group of people in front of her and said, "I think Chairman Yukinoshita has something she'd like to discuss with me? Would you mind if we went to her office for a cup of tea?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you." She truly lives up to her reputation as a strong woman, never neglecting to maintain appearances.

She told her manager to go back first, and then she took Yang Nai and followed Xuehui to the president's office.

Isayama Yomi, who was originally here, had already gone to another room and was watching the show through the monitor.

"Please have a seat, both of you."

Upon entering the office, Yukiteru made no attempt to be polite, treating the place as his own territory and inviting the two to sit down. Saeko Busujima, on the other hand, took on the duties of an assistant, brewing tea to entertain the guests.

After sitting down, Xue's mother finally began to observe the girl who was quite good-looking but had been standing quietly behind Xuehui.

Having received training in various traditional arts, she immediately recognized that Saeko Busujima's tea-brewing techniques and demeanor were exceptionally skillful and elegant. To put it bluntly, even the top tea masters couldn't surpass her.

The tea was ready in no time.

"Thank you, Busujima-senpai." Yukinoshita Haruno accepted the tea with a smile, showing a higher opinion of this junior whom she didn't know very well. It was unexpected that the former national kendo champion was also so good at tea.

"Junior?" Yukino's words caught Yuki's attention. She looked at Saeko Busujima again, and a surname came to mind. "Bukushima...that Busujima-ryu dojo in Chiba, is it yours?"

Why would the daughter of a kendo family be here?

“To be precise, it was opened by my father. Not many people know about it now. After all, we are not the kind of dojo that opens its doors to many disciples. We are quite strict in selecting people.” Saeko Busujima handed over a teacup and answered with a smile. She was not surprised that her identity had been discovered. A dojo that has been in Chiba for many years would be known to the locals to some extent, not to mention that her father was not an unknown figure.

After serving Yukiteru the last cup of tea, Saeko Busujima quietly stood beside him again. To Yukiteru's mother, this scene didn't seem like that of an assistant, but rather like that of a master and a maid.

There were some things she couldn't say, but Yang Nai, being of the same generation and equally curious, could.

Yang Nai looked at the two people in front of her with great interest and asked, "I really didn't expect that Busujima-senpai would become Yukiteru-kun's assistant, and that Yukiteru-kun would actually be the acting president here."

"I'm just an agent, and Saeko-nee isn't my assistant. She's just here to help me. After all, it wouldn't make sense for a boss not to have an assistant." Yukiteru didn't hide anything and answered Haruno's question directly.

Then he looked at Saeko Busujima: "Saeko-nee, there's no one else here, so please sit down."

To everyone's surprise, Saeko Busujima shook her head: "I said I'm an assistant, so I'm an assistant, and I'm enjoying it too."

Playing her own role and watching this boy, who was originally a newcomer to the Ryougi family, grow to where he is now, and being able to make his own decisions for the person he likes, has brought Saeko Busujima a lot of joy.

Yukiteru didn't bother to understand Saeko Busujima's ambiguous words. He looked at Yukino's mother, this still elegant and composed businesswoman, and said, "We're not discussing business now. I hope you don't mind if I call you Auntie?"

“Of course. Hiratsuka-kun is young and promising. Sugita Real Estate has always been managed by Mr. Sugita, and there has never been a position of acting president.” Yuki’s mother nodded. She was not the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush and asked her question directly.

"Well, that's actually quite unexpected. The old man has been busy with work for the past six months and hasn't had much rest. He was thinking of spending time with his family, so he temporarily handed the company over to me and took his family on a trip. Hmm... the first stop was supposed to be Greece. The plane should have taken off by now." Xuehui tapped his teacup and answered, half-jokingly.

The trip was indeed real—a top-tier luxury round-the-world trip with world-class amenities, and several other companies were also on the trip.

Yes, the expenses will be reimbursed by Liangyi Family.

Hearing Yukiteru's answer, Yukino's mother frowned. In that case, there was really no way to verify it with the other party.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Absolutely not.

"It seems that Mr. Sugita and you, Mr. Yukiteru, have a very good relationship. He entrusted his company to you directly."

"Well, it's only temporary. After all, I'm just a high school student. I don't have any business experience. Everything still needs to be handled by the people below. I'm just here to gain some experience and also to set the tone for things." Xuehui waved his hand with a smile and said, "I was quite lucky today. Besides seeing you, Auntie, I also met Ms. Yangnai. I believe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

soon."

Cooperation? Soon?

A strange feeling welled up in Xue's mother's heart. No, she must investigate this thoroughly when she gets back.

After finishing her tea, Xue Mu had no desire to stay any longer, so she got up to say goodbye.

After personally seeing the two off at the company and watching them get into the Yukinoshita family's car, Isayama Yomi also came out and asked Yukiteru, "Do you think she'll investigate you when she gets back?"

"Of course they will. My appearance today disrupted their plans, and with my deliberate actions at the end, it's hard for them not to investigate me. This is just the first time; the bigger surprise is yet to come." Xuehui nodded, took out his phone to check the time, and said, "It's noon. How about we grab some lunch together before you go?"

The two young ladies readily agreed, and the three of them had the driver take them to a nearby restaurant.

On the other side, in the Yukinoshita family's car.

Yang Nai was answering her mother's questions.

Can you guess why that boy suddenly appeared?

Yang shook her head, not in a definitive tone, but after some embellishment, she said, "We don't have any conflict with him. If we have to say something, it's only about Yukino. But only our family knows about this. Although Yukino still works with him after she moved away, she probably won't tell anyone. Plus, the fact that he was able to become the acting president means there are still many things we need to investigate."

Yuki's mother nodded, agreeing with her daughter's guess: "Send someone to investigate further from all angles. Also, have Yukino come back tonight."

"Yes, Mother."

Unfortunately, their ideals were beautiful, but they were destined to find out nothing unless Yukiteru revealed it to them on his own initiative.

It's still midnight today.

Chapter 87 The atmosphere suddenly turned sweet (2/3)

After a simple meal, Saeko Busujima prepared to return to Tokyo. Yomi Isayama was also picked up by another car, while Yukiteru went home first to change his clothes before taking a car to school.

When he arrived at the school, it was just past 12 o'clock. After thinking for a moment, Yukiteru did not go to the classroom, but went directly to the Service Club.

As expected, the door to the Service Department was unlocked, and with a slight smile, Yukihira reached out and opened it.

At this moment, Yukino was sitting quietly in her chair, eating her bento box as usual.

The classroom door was opened, and Yukino instinctively looked up. When she saw that it was Yukiteru, a hint of joy couldn't be suppressed in her eyes.

Although it was quickly hidden, Xuehui still saw it.

Yukino is also cute when she wants to express herself but feels shy.

After calming herself down, Yukino looked at Yukiteru as he walked in and said, "You're back. Have you had lunch yet?"

"It feels like something a wife would say to her husband when he comes home from get off work." As he said this, making Yukino blush, Yukiteru moved a chair over and sat down next to the girl. "If I said I hadn't eaten, you didn't prepare anything for me either."

"..." Yukino thought for a moment, then placed her bento box in front of Yukiteru. "If...you don't mind..."

"Alright, you can eat by yourself. I've already eaten out." He pushed the bento box back, pinched the girl's cheek, and only stopped after she looked displeased. "Didn't I tell you to eat more? Why is there still so little?"

Although Yukino is generally healthy, she is still too thin, especially in terms of weight, which is a bit too low. So Yukiteru had told her to eat more, but today she is still the same as before.

Yukino pouted slightly as she listened to Yukiteru's nagging. She didn't have a big appetite to begin with, so asking her to eat more was just making things difficult for her.

However, Yukino is quite pleased with Yukiteru's undisguised concern, and she seems to be showing more expressions on her face these days.

"Let me eat a little more..." Yukino lowered her head slightly, looked at her figure, and then her eyes sharpened. "Is there something you're unhappy about?"

"Dissatisfied? I'm just concerned about you." Xuehui shrugged, then leaned closer to the girl and whispered, "What, do you think I want your figure to improve? Don't worry, I like you just the way you are, so don't worry about it too much."

Although breasts are a major manifestation of female charm, Yukiteru said that Yukino already has many cute features, so he doesn't care about this one. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to promote development in the future through various methods.

If Yukino wants to.

The slightly aggressive light in his eyes made Yukino feel a little flustered. She quickly turned her face away, stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and said with a snort and a red face, "How could I care about those things? A person's value is not determined by those external things."

"Yes, yes, Yukino-sama is right, but let's eat first." Yukiteru could only nod in agreement.
