With doubts.
At this time, Kanako Nagano walked in.
She was wearing a loose-fitting kimono, but even that couldn't hide her voluptuous figure.
The delicate face was no longer as pale as yesterday, but had a beautiful blush as if it had been injected with some tonic.
But those misty eyes were filled with sadness, and the look of despair made me feel pity for her! Seeing her like this, Nagano Nao suddenly felt that he had gone too far yesterday.
Although she is Japanese, she is now his woman, right? ! ! Idiot, you are also a Japanese now! ! "Straight man, breakfast is ready, please enjoy!" Nagano Kanako said with her head down, her voice full of sadness, helplessness, shame and self-blame.
Naoto Nagano knew that she didn't know how to survive as a full-time housewife. If it weren't for her daughter, she might not have compromised yesterday. And because of the family name, he definitely didn't know how to get along in the future.
But he really couldn't understand the meaning of a family name.
To put it bluntly, her husband died and she is still single, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
I don’t understand this strange system of adoption!
With the help of Nagano Kanako, Nagano Nao put on his clothes. Looking at the pair of eyes so close to him, he hesitated and said, "Oba-san, I'm sorry! I didn't consider your feelings yesterday."
"Please don't say such things, straight man. I just ask you to take good care of this family in the future!" Kanako Nagano said as tears almost fell.
This really made Nagano Nao feel a little guilty, because he had been full of hatred before and he had never considered what harm he would cause to this woman.
In fact, she is also very pitiful!
Her husband had just died, and she had to compromise with herself out of fear for life. Given their identities, she must have felt very panicked and helpless! "Oba-san, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you. In fact, you don't have to feel guilty because of the family name. If I leave the Nagano family, we will have nothing to do with each other."
"Can't!!"
"Why? Isn't it because of the family name that makes you feel worse?"
“……” Nagano Kanako didn’t say anything, but her eyes, which could speak, were filled with fear.
Nagano understood immediately and said, "Oba-san, you misunderstood. I just don't want you to feel bad. But you, Yuki and I are not related by blood, right? Does it mean you can't date another man just because you lost your husband? There is no such provision in the law!"
Naoto Nao's words obviously had an effect, and Kanako Nagano's expression became noticeably more relaxed.
However, she did not agree, but bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, straight man, but let's talk about these things later. Please have your meal first!"
"Why?" Nagano Nao really didn't understand this time.
"If you leave the family name, your future will definitely be affected, so..."
"I see."
Fried eggs, milk, and ham.
The nutrition is enough.
Nagano Chiyuki has gone to school. Nagano Kanako said worriedly: "Zhi Nan, I think Chiyuki looked a little strange just now. Will she..."
"Don't worry, Oba-san. She's just mad that I stayed in bed late today."
"is that so?"
"Of course. Auntie, it's getting late. I'll just drink my milk. I'll give these to you."
"Straight man, is your body okay?"
"The nutrition from milk is enough."
"You've worked so hard. Please be careful on the road."
With a bow from Kanako Nagano.
Nao Nagano came to the street.
The sun is shining and the weather is clear. It is really a good day.
To be honest.
I feel so satisfied.
Enjoying a life of having everything provided for you every day is so satisfying that it makes people lose their will.
Naoyoshi Nagano found that he had fallen in love with this place.
It would be even more perfect if we had endless money to spend.
Nagano straight man!
For the woman at home, go for it!
After waiting on the street for a while, a taxi came from afar. Seeing that Nagano Nao had arm problems, the taxi driver kindly opened the door for him and carefully invited him into the car.
However, although this driver is a nice person, he is obviously a chatterbox.
This is not the first time that Nao Nagano has heard complaints about housing prices.
Even though being a taxi driver is a high-income profession and one may earn 7 or 8 million yen a year, it is still difficult to buy a house in Tokyo.
Of course, it’s not that you can’t afford it.
According to the average income and average, a taxi driver can buy about four stacks of bread every year, but if you add the living expenses, it becomes difficult.
Thinking of the same problem he had faced before, Nagano did not laugh at it, but said with emotion: "High housing prices may not be a bad thing. If housing prices were not high, life might become worse."
"Why do you say that? Isn't it because housing prices are too high that we dare not get married and have children? I'm really worried that Japan will perish in the future because of this terrible birth rate."
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of new babies in Japan in 1988 was approximately 1.257 million, and is expected to reach 1.25 million this year. Compared with Japan's total population, this figure is an unprecedented low, putting Japan into a period of negative population growth.
Rather, because of the high housing prices, fewer and fewer people are getting married, causing many responsible people to worry about the future of this country.
However, Nagano Nao didn't have this sense of responsibility, and he couldn't help but laugh this time.
"The real estate market is equivalent to a capital reservoir. It is precisely because of the existence of this pool that money does not flow into daily necessities. Once housing prices become bad, the money will not evaporate out of thin air, which will have a great impact on our lives."
"You mean, if house prices don't go up, then the prices of daily necessities might go up? How is that possible?"
"From an economic theory point of view, if house prices fall, it means that funds will flow out of real estate, but the money will not disappear out of thin air, it will only be injected into other industries."
"It seems to be true. Are you a student majoring in economics?"
"Yes, Keio University."
"Oh. So it's the future Raptors!"
“.”
Chatting time.
The taxi has arrived in Chiyoda District, and the towering Sumitomo Life Insurance Building can be seen from afar.
This is the financial center of Japan.
Here are the largest commercial banks, insurance companies, and securities companies in Japan.
Knowing that Nagano Nao was a young dragon from Keio, the taxi driver showed some respect and asked with a hint of inquiry: "If the prices of goods become bad, where will the money flow into?"
"We can only speculate on this, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four pillars of the economy. Maybe some of it will flow into food, such as fruit."
"Fruit?"
"Perhaps."
The car arrived at the destination.
Nagano Nao apologized and said, "You see, I'm a little inconvenient, so I'd like to ask you to pick up the fare yourself."
"Oh. You don't have to pay for the car fare. Come to think of it, I really have to thank you. I was planning to open a fruit store but I couldn't make up my mind. Although I know that the house price will not fall, you gave me confidence."
"Then I really don't know how to thank you, so I just wish you a prosperous business. If we have the chance to meet again, I will definitely take good care of your business."
Say goodbye to taxi drivers.
Amid the strange looks from passers-by, Nagano Nao walked calmly to the front desk of the building.
Arrived a little earlier than the agreed time.
After giving his name, a man in a suit came to greet him. Seeing that Nagano Nao's arms were in plaster, his serious expression seemed a little strange.
But the other party did not ask any more questions. Instead, he invited Nagano Nao to the elevator and went to the middle floor of the building together.
There were already more than a dozen people sitting in the reception room, which looked a bit simple but appeared very clean.
Nagano Nao was obviously the last one to arrive. Facing everyone's strange looks, he sat down calmly.
After greeting the HR director, he spoke eloquently about the development history and scale of Sumitomo Life Insurance, starting with maritime mutual assistance and talking about its current international business scope. He also hinted that the Sumitomo Group is a large group like Mitsubishi, and that working here would have an unlimited future.
All those present were recent graduates, and many of them felt their blood boil and excitement surge in their hearts after hearing what they heard.
Wait until the HR director leaves.
The guys talked about what they knew about Sumitomo.
"I heard that Sumitomo Life Insurance has at least two opportunities to travel abroad every year!"
"This is nothing. Sumitomo is a conglomerate as powerful as Mitsubishi. Now Mitsubishi has bought the Rockefeller Center in the United States, and Sony has bought Columbia in the United States. I think Sumitomo will definitely take action as well."
