My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"The main reason is that Okumizome is a bit remote. People have gone there to investigate before, but it didn't have any charitable effect."

Because there's no prospect of return on the investment, the plan is to allow those doing charity work to stay longer and experience the local culture and customs.

Ichiro Takayanagi had already read the entire charity plan, so he provided an answer to Kaoru Takayanagi's question.

"If you ask me, we should just donate some money to the managers at Okumizome. There's no need to go through all this trouble."

This is Sonoko Suzuki's opinion. As the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, she wouldn't personally participate in charity work; donating a sum of money directly would be the safest approach.

"I think conducting on-site investigations and then providing some charitable projects tailored to local conditions is a good idea."

But the thought of you going away for a week, Ichiro-nii, makes us a little sad to see you go.

Ran Mouri had this idea because she had made a promise to his mother, Etsuko Amamiya, before.

On weekends, Ichiro Takayanagi and I would go to Eri Kisaki's place for a get-together.

In Ran Mouri's view, since Ichiro Takayanagi and Etsumiko Amamiya's relationship has developed, they definitely need to spend more time together to make their relationship more stable.

This weekend, Ichiro Takayanagi was unable to go to Etsumiko Amamiya's place with Ran Mouri because he had already promised Sonoko Suzuki that he would accompany her mother and sister to dinner.

So Ran Mouri is already thinking about going to Etsumiko Amamiya's place with Ichiro Takayanagi next weekend.

But this charity event starts tomorrow and I'll be back by the weekend, so I'll miss it again.

"Xiaolan, I don't think you need to be in such a hurry. I think your mother's focus is on her career right now."

"If you really bring Ichiro along, your mother might complain."

Sonoko Suzuki knew her good friend very well, so she immediately spoke up to persuade Ran Mouri.

"I understand, I will talk to my mom about it."

After being persuaded by her good friend, Ran Mouri realized that she really shouldn't act recklessly.

Ichiro Takayanagi agreed to this charity project not because he wanted anything in return from Ran Mouri or Etsuko Amamiya.

Instead, she simply wanted to establish herself here and not separate from them.

In that case, Ran Mouri wouldn't hold anyone back in this matter; she should call and persuade her mother.

"Ran, when Ichiro returns from Okumizome, he'll be at your disposal. We won't take anything from you."

Sonoko Suzuki made the promise at this time because she had already received a promise beforehand.

After all, when the Suzuki Group celebrates its 100th anniversary, it can invite everyone in the family to play a permutation and combination game, so there's no need to care about temporary gains or losses.

"Sister Xiaolan, if you can't persuade Aunt Yingli, I can go with you to help persuade her."

Kaoru Takayanagi already knew about the relationship between Etsumiko Amamiya and Ichiro Takayanagi; it had already happened back at the Takayanagi family home.

Therefore, Kaoru Takayanagi is confident that she can persuade Etsuko Amamiya.

"Sonoko, Kaoru, thank you."

Ran Mouri sincerely expressed her gratitude to her good friends and good students, saying that it was truly wonderful to have met them.

"Xiao Lan, you don't need to thank us at all. If you really want to thank us, then wait a week and thank Brother Ichiro properly."

"Yes, it would be best if we went to Aunt Eri's place together."

After listening to the playful banter of the high school girls, Takayanagi Mitsuka became a little unconvinced.

"You've been discussing this and that, but it seems you've forgotten about me."

The high school girls were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then immediately apologized to Takayanagi Mitsuka.

When Gao Liu Mihua was guarding the house, she indeed did not have any income from loans.

But the fact that she was able to take such good care of several female high school students is a great achievement.

They were having a rather heated discussion just now, and they really forgot about Takayanagi Mika.

The group of high school girls exchanged glances, then pulled Ichiro Takayanagi up from his seat and pressed him down next to Mitsuka Takayanagi.

"Sister Mihua, considering how hard you've worked lately, we'll let you have Brother Ichiro tonight, so you can properly receive his reward."

Sonoko Suzuki had previously harbored thoughts of monopolizing Ichiro Takayanagi, but now that this situation has arisen, she is naturally willing to take a step back.

Thank you all.

Takayanagi Mitsuka did not refuse. After thanking the three female high school students with a smile, she took Takayanagi Ichiro's arm.

Of course, these are just polite words.

Since she wasn't the only one asking for leave to consult with Takayanagi Ichiro, she wouldn't stop others from doing so.

Only when everyone considers each other can the family live in harmony and happiness.

.................

the next day.

It was a rare occasion for Takayanagi Ichiro to drive three female high school students to school. He didn't stop at the school gate, but at an intersection a short distance ahead, which didn't cause any stir.

The three high school girls kissed Takayanagi Ichiro on the cheek as a farewell gesture, since he was going to do charity work for a week.

After seeing three female high school students enter the school, Ichiro Takayanagi immediately turned his car around and went to the place where he had previously arranged to meet Etsuko Amamiya.

Sure enough, there was a beautiful woman with short blue hair there.

After Takayanagi Ichiro's car stopped in front of her and the window was rolled down, the beautiful woman with short blue hair bowed slightly and greeted him.

"Mr. Takayanagi, thank you for coming to pick me up."

Chapter 430 Okumizome's First Encounter with Three Adorable Children

Etsuko Amamiya had been waiting on this road for a while, and many drivers wanted to stop and chat with her, but she didn't get any attention because she already had someone in mind.

Seeing Takayanagi Ichiro park his car in front of her, Amamiya Etsukko felt a little excited. She hadn't expected Takayanagi Ichiro to contact her so early.

The intelligence sent out last time must have left a good impression on Takayanagi Ichiro, but I didn't expect the feedback to come so soon.

She had secretly done some research on Takayanagi Ichiro's identity, but the more she investigated, the more mysterious he seemed. She thought that having something happen between her and Takayanagi Ichiro would be a good thing for her.

However, if you make your purpose too obvious, it will definitely not have a good result.

So she waited and finally got Takayanagi Ichiro's contact number.

After exchanging greetings, Amamiya Etsuko originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat while driving, but Takayanagi Ichiro gently shook his head and refused.

Amamiya Etsuko was the collateral that Amamiya Yosuke used when he wanted to take out a loan, and he knew that she must still retain her innocence.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi was not in a hurry, nor did he place Etsumiko Amamiya in a very important position.

Despite being rejected by Ichiro Takayanagi, Etsuko Amamiya wasn't angry. She readily opened the back door and got in.

This is a luxury car with a very spacious interior.

If this car were parked in the middle of nowhere, it would be perfectly feasible for the two of them to engage in anything beyond friendship.

However, Amamiya Etsuko could tell that Takayanagi Ichiro genuinely wanted to do something, rather than simply asking her to come out and play.

"Mr. Takayanagi, is there something you need from me?"

"There's a document next to you. Pick it up and take a look."

Upon hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Amamiya Etsumiko indeed noticed a folder on her left side, which made her heart skip a beat.

Could it be that the information I sent out was wrong, and Takayanagi Ichiro is now using this information to cause me trouble? Is he going to take me to Tokyo Bay to be sunk into the sea?

However, since Ichiro Takayanagi asked him to look at this document, he probably had other purposes.

So Amamiya Etsuko cooperated by taking out the document and starting to read it, only to discover that it was a document for charity.

"Mr. Takayanagi, do you perhaps want me to contribute something to this charity event?"

"Although I accepted this charity project, I do not intend to do it myself, so I will choose someone who is more capable to go with me."

President Amamiya praised your abilities before, and you also gave me some good information a few days ago, so of course I'm willing to give you something in return.

Asking others to accompany you on business and calling it a form of reciprocation—only someone like Takayanagi Ichiro could come up with such a thing.

However, Amamiya Etsuko did not think it was a bad thing; on the contrary, she was very happy.

"Mr. Takayanagi, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."

Furthermore, I have now acquired a portion of the rights to Amamiya Real Estate, so there won't be any problems using some of Amamiya Real Estate's resources.

Since Ichiro Takayanagi has invited me to do charity work together, I should make my attitude very clear.

"I have no intention of taking over the plot to seize Amamiya Real Estate, so you can rest assured about that."

He was quite satisfied with Amamiya Etsuko's expression of loyalty, so he was willing to make part of his promise.

"Thank you, Mr. Takayanagi."

Of course, Amamiya Etsuko never imagined that she could win over Takayanagi Ichiro all by herself, become his sweetheart, and help him expand and strengthen Amamiya Real Estate.

The greatest success would be to be able to get in touch with Ichiro Takayanagi and then seek his help whenever you encounter significant trouble.

In the end, Ichiro Takayanagi followed the navigation to his destination, Okumizome, while Etsumiko Amamiya was in the back seat thinking about how to do charity work in Okumizome.

It didn't take long for Takayanagi Ichiro to drive to Okumizome. Both of them felt the remoteness of the place while in the car, which explained why Okumizome's charity project had never been successful.

"I just checked the situation at Okumizome on my phone and found that the only transportation here is the train station."

The young people all go out to work, and they only come back to reunite with their families at the end of the year.

It's quite unbelievable that there's even a high school in Okumizome.

If we really want to do charity work, we can start with this high school.

The best way is to donate some teaching materials here, and then let the outside media rush to report on it.

Amamiya Emiko wasn't just sitting in the back of the car in a daze; she used her phone to look up a lot of information before offering her charitable suggestions.

Starting with charity work in high school is also a good option, neither affirming nor denying it.

Just then, Ichiro Takayanagi braked, and the inertia caused Etsumiko Amamiya to tilt forward slightly.

"Mr. Takayanagi, has something gone wrong?"

This is a rather remote place. The villagers are very united, so they are easily hostile to outsiders.
