Chapter 312 Working in vain
Before Xu Youyou could speak, Lu Jingyao asked, "Do you want to talk to all five members of the Heishui family?"
Xu Youyou looked at him in surprise: "Is this also possible?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "Talking to five people and talking to one person will naturally be different, but don't worry, we can still talk."
Xu Youyou thought about it and shook her head: "Forget it, since I have already promised Miss Yazi, 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 if 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, the story of two peaches killing three warriors is not uncommon."
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 had given 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 Heishui 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, but she also only gave birth to a daughter. The little 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 a wealthy family values inheritance, the more this is the case. Aren't those wealthy people in China also trying their best to have more children?"
Xu Youyou thought of the Gu family, glanced at Lu Jingyao again, and asked, "What about your family?"
Lu Jingyao said, "When my grandfather became rich, he wasn't from a wealthy family. When he went to Hong Kong, he was met with a lot of cold stares. When I was born, family planning had been implemented for several years. Although my father had thought about having more children, and the family could afford the fine, my mother didn't want to have more 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.
Considering the Gu family, they had already had a family planning policy before their eldest son Gu Fengchuan was born, yet 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 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 her 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. This is not a big deal. Grandpa always likes to create confusion. Tomorrow you tell grandpa that you have had contact with Lu Jingyao and will 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's always quick, accurate and ruthless in his work, with a unique vision and a very high return on investment. With his help, our chances of success will be much greater."
Kuromizu Masako suppressed her subtle disdain for her husband and said, "Although this increases our chances of winning, isn't it also courting disaster?"
Hei Shuiming said firmly: "It is better to fight with the tiger than to lose everything!"
Heishui Ming's original family is not bad. Although it is not as good as the top chaebols like the Heishui family, he is 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, this competition will have a result in five days." Masako Kuromizu 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.
Kuromizu Masako said, "Tomorrow I will send you and your brothers to the old house. You must behave well there and don't upset your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
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 indicate that she understood.
Masako Kuromizu pressed hard on her daughter's shoulders and said, "You must behave well for these five days. After these five days, Mom will not stop you from doing whatever 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 was naturally very happy.
"It's rare that you are so attentive. Now that the matter has been decided, 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 Heishui Ming heard this, the smile on his face froze. He cursed in his heart that this old man was still partial to his little grandson. He just casually handed over such an important matter to his little grandson. Wasn't he just improving his grandson's 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's harder for them young people to have common language. Grandpa, this arrangement is really the best."
When the eighty-year-old patriarch heard this, he looked at her meaningfully and said, "Yazi, you are a good sister. Now that your children are grown up, you can actually join the group and work like your sister."
Kuromizu Masako said, "I have always been looking forward to sharing the burden of the family. Since Grandpa has given me this opportunity, I will definitely not let him down."
After leaving the Heishui family's old house, Heishui Ming said with a sullen face, "We've worked so hard for most of the day, and in the end, you're willing to do me a big favor? Or are you supporting your brother instead of me, your husband?"
Masako Kuromizu cursed him in her heart as an idiot, 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 crown prince."
