We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

Similar research institutes existed in Japan and other countries before, but the commercialization of research results was mostly unsatisfactory.

Sometimes, it may even serve only one major investor, while the returns for other investors are far less than what they would have earned in the capital market.

Sakurai Nanami, standing before them, was indeed a very important figure, somewhat out of their reach.

But... big shots may be big shots, but their own money, even if some of it was acquired through shady means during the accumulation of capital, didn't come from thin air.

It is indeed quite difficult to get them to invest in institutions that don't show immediate results.

Now, the topic of children's education that was discussed at the dinner earlier has long been forgotten.

The original intention of inviting Sakurai Nanami's Wakaba Mutsumi's 'parents'—Wakaba Takafumi and Mori Minami—was to further advance their careers.

Although the topics discussed at the dinner have deviated slightly from their expectations, as the hosts, they still have to respond positively and not offend their distinguished guests.

As for Mutsumi Wakaba, who had been forced to attend the banquet by Minami Mori, no one paid any attention to him now that he was affected by the topic of Nanami Sakurai.

Tonight, everyone's attention in the banquet hall is focused on Sakurai Nanami and the medical investment she mentioned.

Sakurai Nanami was satisfied with the reactions of everyone in the banquet hall, but she didn't show it on her face.

She took another sip of sake with a reserved air, the faint aroma of which lingered on her lips, before speaking:

"This investment will not be in vain; I have also invested a considerable amount of money in it."

This is natural, as the Sakurai family, which is mainly responsible for business and finance among the Snake Clan, would naturally participate in projects that require the cooperation of multiple families.

Even if these people were to investigate, the higher-ups would find that a large amount of funds originated from Sakurai Nanami's name, so she wasn't worried at all about being questioned in this regard.

Ruoye Longwen felt that this banquet was slipping out of his control.

Faced with absolute interests and status, his prized sense of humor was completely rendered useless.

As an actress, Minami Mori didn't really know much about this aspect that was unrelated to her entertainment career. Seeing that her husband didn't say anything, she remained silent as well.

Minami Mori pondered:

"Wakaba Mutsu... Never mind her, let's think about how to get to the point tonight."

As a top-tier actress, Minami Mori is not content with temporary fame; her pursuit is to become an entertainment queen like Sayuri Yoshinaga, remembered by generations.

just now……

As Mori Minami watched the various people at the banquet chatting with Sakurai Nanami, some genuinely and some feigning sincerity, she inexplicably felt that her acting skills still needed further refinement.

Second-rate actors are in acting, first-rate actors are in business...

As for a more skilled 'actor' who can satisfy everyone, it seems that no one has been born yet.

The dinner was still ongoing.

Sakurai Nanami demonstrated her excellent negotiation skills, along with the composure and foresight of the Sakurai family head from the Snake Clan, keeping the conversation firmly in her own hands.

At the same time, she used commercial value as bait to attract both Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori.

Sakurai Nanami thought to herself:

"Speaking of which, Toyokawa Kiyoko, the second-generation son-in-law of the Toyokawa family, is indeed quite capable, even among the top students in Kassel College."

"He really helped us a lot by stepping in at the request of the head of the family that time."

"Right now, he's still nominally working for a company affiliated with the Snake Clan. I wonder if the patriarch will value him more in the future..."

As she thought this, she continued to plan for the dinner party.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the constant tossing of chips, time slowly passed.

…………

“Welcome next time.”

"You must come again next time!"

As night fell, the banquet finally came to an end.

Most of the participants in the banquet obtained satisfactory information or exchanged resources through discussions on various topics.

As for the hosts of this dinner, Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori...

Although Sakurai Nanami seized control of the situation and took the lead, she did not treat them unfairly and offered them business cooperation as well.

For some mega-corporations, their brands already possess immense fame and appeal, with an influence far exceeding that of most celebrities.

For companies like this, hiring celebrities as spokespeople is actually just boosting the celebrities' fame.

Sakurai Nanami found a large Japanese company controlled by the Sakurai family and offered the two of them a business collaboration. The matter was thus easily resolved, and the two of them were even grateful.

It's not surprising that someone would be chosen to endorse a new product; for Sakurai Nanami, as the head of the family, deciding on a spokesperson is naturally a minor matter.

Moreover, Ruoye Longwen and Senmin Nami are both high-profile figures, so no one would say much.

Previously, Sakurai Nanami had heard of instances where company bosses personally acted as spokespeople, only to ruin their corporate image.

There aren't many good bosses like her who don't interfere too much in operations anymore.

Sakurai Nanami thought this, a gentle smile on her face.

Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori escorted her all the way until she got into a Maserati MC20 and drove away, before returning to their house.

Takafumi Wakaba had never felt so tired.

Fortunately, the outcome of the dinner was quite satisfactory.

Further expansion of his commercial value could allow him to remain popular in the entertainment industry for a few more years, preventing him from fading into obscurity as early as his predecessors.

Rehashing old news, being rehashed, becoming famous through controversy... as long as there's traffic, even being criticized is a good thing.

For an actor, being forgotten and forgotten is the real tragedy.

Thinking this, Wakaba Takafumi looked at his wife:

"Why hasn't Wakaba Mutsu come yet?"

Minami Mori said nonchalantly:

Who cares about her?

"She won't make good use of such good resources at home; in the end, she'll be the one who suffers."

"I'm going to rest now. Let her stay locked in her room."

After intense mental strain, Senmina Nami relaxed and revealed her fatigue as her acting skills faded.

From beginning to end, she never cared about the concept of Wakaba Mutsu, nor did she know anything about her current situation.

It's said that a spacious house can make the temperature feel low, but it's clear that Senmina's heart is even colder.

Although she and her husband are of mixed race, their bloodline ranks are not high, and they have never been deeply involved in the disputes of mixed-race society.

She sometimes even felt a little scared when she was with Wakaba Mutsu.

"perhaps……"

Minami Mori had an idea.

After washing up and lying in bed, the thought kept echoing in her mind, refusing to leave.

Chapter 53 Toyokawa Shoko's Weekend (Please continue reading)

Ruoye Mu would probably be grateful that her parents were only focused on their own careers and didn't even bother to think about her.

Tsukimori Academy

morning.

After last night's escape, which seemed unorthodox but was of great significance to Wakaba Mutsu, she suddenly felt less troubled by many things.

Happy people use their childhood to heal their entire lives, while unhappy people spend their entire lives healing from their childhood.

People will ultimately be trapped by what they cannot obtain in their youth, which will define their entire lives.

now,

Wakaba Mutsu looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting to his left.

Xiangzi was unusually late today, and he seemed a bit down.

Could it be...

Wakaba Mutsu recalled the nightmare fragment that had been etched onto Toyokawa Shoko's seat.

But so many days have passed... Could there be some other reason?

Ruoye Muxin thought to herself.

During the first class and the break, Toyokawa Shoko was still on leave.

She didn't sneak into the classroom through the back door until the second period, geography class.

The geography teacher at the front didn't even notice that another student had joined the class, and the lesson continued smoothly.

Because Xiangzi went around the back of the classroom,

During the detour, Ruoye Mutsu sensed that something was off about her mood.

Ever since the entity within him fell into slumber again, Wakaba Mutsu has become extremely sensitive to changes in other people's emotions, as if he had suddenly discovered some kind of talent.

If Moku wanted to go find Toyokawa Shoko, but he was still in class and could only make a plan after the class ended.

Speaking of...

Ruoye Mutsu then looked at Nangumo Ugetsu sitting next to her.

After arriving at the classroom, he soon lay down on his desk and started catching up on sleep.

The first class was a morality class, which is usually easy, so the teacher naturally wouldn't make things too difficult for the students.

The geography teacher for the second class, Nanon Ugetsu, had only recently joined the class and already knew her style, so she didn't care about the students' performance in class.

Therefore... Nan Yun Yu Yue has been sleeping ever since and is still not awake.

Ruoye Mu looked around, paying attention to the two people in the class she knew best, before continuing to focus on the lesson.

now,

The geography teacher had already mastered the material from this lesson in a flash, and confidently turned to watching movies and TV shows that she was currently interested in.

Tsukimori Academy has a large female student population, and many of them are interested in this type of film and television drama.

Hearing the teacher talk at length about his understanding of the plot of the recently popular TV series, many students in the audience were immediately ignited and listened attentively much more attentively than in other classes.

"Hey……"

The geography teacher sighed inwardly.

This teaching method not only creates a lively classroom atmosphere, but also prevents students from feeling like they are taking a sloppy course; most even feel that they did a pretty good job...

This kind of classroom teaching method can actually be considered a teaching experience.

Ruoye Mutsu was also listening.

However, unlike her classmates, she wasn't interested in the melodramatic entanglements between the male and female leads in the drama.

Instead, her parents didn't have any roles in the show, so it didn't sound nerve-wracking.

the other side,

Toyokawa Shoko did not pay attention to the content of the lesson.

She kept her head down, her thoughts still lingering at home.

This weekend, my father had to work overtime due to unforeseen circumstances.

Grandfather Toyokawa Sadaharu has been so busy lately that he has disappeared. Apart from a few maids who are in charge of daily affairs, there is no one else in the entire Western-style mansion.

Because Ruoye Mu had something to do at home on the weekend, she couldn't go to see Xiaomu either.

Besides that, there were a few other classmates she knew well, but they all happened to have other commitments this weekend...

Toyokawa Shoko felt inexplicably lonely.

When feeling lonely, one seeks solace for the soul.

Similar to the guitar that anchors 'self' in Mutsuki Wakaba, the piano is something that will never be forgotten in Shoko Toyokawa's heart.

The memory of her mother teaching her to play the piano is the most precious memory of her life, and she will never forget it.
