Chapter 314: Working in vain
Before Xu Youyou opened her mouth, Lu Jingyao asked, "Do you want to talk to all five members of the Blackwater family?"
Xu Youyou looked at him in surprise: "Is this also possible?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "Talking to five people is different from talking to one person. But don't worry, we can talk to them."
Xu Youyou thought about it and shook her head: "Forget it, since I have already promised Miss Masako, I should not do anything to betray her."
Lu Jingyao nodded casually, with a look of regret on his face.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of a breakdown when you negotiate with five people?"
Lu Jingyao was quite confident when he heard this, and said, "It is more likely that the Black Water family will collapse. From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon for two peaches to kill three warriors."
Xu Youyou was more afraid that he would bring trouble upon himself: "Forget it, we don't have any deep hatred with them."
Lu Jingyao nodded. It was for this reason that he chose to side with one side. Among the five people, Masako was the most hidden one. She looked like a good wife and mother, and she gave birth to three children early on. To some extent, she was the only one who was truly prepared.
Few women truly love to have children. For example, the second grandson of the Kuromizu family has no children until now because his wife, the daughter of the Yasuda family, does not want to have children.
The eldest grandson of Kuromizu has only one son, and the eldest granddaughter is a strong woman who has only given birth to a daughter. The youngest grandson has not yet started a family. In comparison, only Kuromizu Masako's family has three children, and all of them are smart and clever because of her teaching.
Xu Youyou listened to Lu Jingyao's analysis and couldn't help but say, "It turns out that wealthy families also have a KPI for having children."
Lu Jingyao said: "The more the wealthy families value inheritance, the more this is the case. Aren't the wealthy people in the country also trying their best to have more children?"
Xu Youyou thought of the Gu family, looked at Lu Jingyao again, and asked, "What about your family?"
Lu Jingyao said, "When my grandfather became rich, he was not a wealthy family. When he went to Hong Kong, he was looked down upon. When I was born, family planning had been implemented for several years. Although my father wanted to have more children, and the family could afford the fine, my mother did not want to have children, so we just let it go."
Xu Youyou understood what he meant. If they got married, the decision of whether to have children would be hers.
Thinking about the Gu family, they had already had a family planning policy before their eldest son Gu Fengchuan was born, but they still gave birth to four siblings. Other wealthy families in Shanghai basically also have a large number of brothers and sisters.
It’s no wonder that according to the original plot, after Lu Jingyao’s death, all of the Lu family’s huge fortune fell into the hands of others.
When Masako Kuromizu returned home, her husband was already waiting for her.
"Grandpa called my eldest brother over again today and gave him a lot of advice alone," said the husband Heishui Ming.
Kuromizu Akira's original surname was not Kuromizu. He was a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo. Not long after graduation, he chose to marry into the Kuromizu family and resolutely changed his surname to Kuromizu.
"I understand. It's not a big deal. Grandpa always likes to create confusion. Tell grandpa tomorrow that you have had contact with Lu Jingyao and will be able to promote cooperation with the Lu family within this year." Kuromizu Masako said.
Heishuiming had naturally heard of Lu Jingyao's name, and immediately asked, "Is the news true? He has always been quick, accurate and ruthless in his work, has a unique vision, and has a very high return on investment. If we have his help, our chances of winning will be much greater."
Masako Kuromizu put away her vague disdain for her husband and said, "Although this increases our chances of winning, isn't this also courting disaster?"
Hei Shuiming said firmly: "It is better to fight with a tiger than to lose everything!"
Heishui Ming's original family was not bad. Although he was not as good as the top chaebols like the Heishui family, he was also the only son of a middle-class family. He married into the Heishui family for money and wealth. If he only got a few scraps in the end, how could it be worthy of his hard work for so many years.
"No matter what, the competition will have a result in five days." Kuromizu Masako said with a cold face.
Heishuiming's face showed worry at one moment and ambition at another, and his expression was extremely conflicted.
“Mom and Dad!”
My daughter's voice suddenly rang out, and the little girl jumped in from outside.
But the couple both frowned at the same time.
"Girls should pay attention to their manners," Kuromizu Masako scolded.
The joy on the little girl's face suddenly disappeared. She looked at her parents timidly and hid the two little yellow flowers in her hands behind her back.
Masako Kuromizu said, "Tomorrow I will send you and your brothers to the old house. You must be obedient there and don't make your great-grandfather and great-grandmother unhappy."
When the little girl thought of the gloomy and depressing old house, her face suddenly became depressed, but she also knew her parents' decision. She had no way to refute it, so she could only nod with a disappointed look on her face to show that she understood.
Masako Kuromizu pressed hard on her daughter's shoulders and said, "You must behave well in these five days. After these five days, mom will not stop you from doing anything you want."
Heishui Ming, who was standing by, was also using similar words to comfort his two sons, forcing them to be well-behaved and sensible.
The next day, after Heishui Ming told the head of the Heishui family about his cooperation with the Lu family, the old head of the family naturally seemed very happy.
"It's rare that you are so dedicated. Now that the matter has been settled, I will let your brother come forward to discuss the details with Lu Jingyao. It can also be regarded as a training for him." The old patriarch said with a smile.
When Kuromizu Akira heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he cursed in his heart that this old man was still partial to his grandson. He handed such an important matter to his grandson casually. Isn't it just brushing up his resume? Kuromizu Akira wanted to refute, but Kuromizu Masako stopped him and said with a smile: "Grandpa, my brother and Lu Jingyao are not much different in age, and it is even more difficult for them young people to have a common language. Grandpa's arrangement is really the best."
When the 80-year-old patriarch heard this, he looked at her meaningfully and said, "Ya Zi, you are a good sister. Now that your children are grown up, you can actually join the group and work like your sister."
Masako Kuromizu said: "I have always hoped to share the burden of the family. Since Grandpa has given me this opportunity, I will definitely not let him down."
When they left the Heishui family's old house, Heishui Ming said with a sullen face: "We worked so hard for most of the day, and in the end you only helped me a big favor, and you are willing to do it? Or do you not support me as your husband, but support your brother instead?"
Masako Kuromizu cursed him as an idiot in her heart, but she also understood that only such an idiot could she easily control.
"Yesterday Lu Jingyao told me a story about Emperor Taizong of Tang choosing a successor."
