Chapter 47: The Story of Kazuko Takashiro
In island nations, there is a profession called geisha, somewhat similar to the courtesan of ancient times who sold their art but not their bodies.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a rather prestigious profession, but in the eyes of the powerful and wealthy, there is not much difference between selling one's art and selling one's body.
There's a classic line in the movie "Hail the Judge".
If I don't pay after I'm done, then it doesn't count as selling?
Yuriko Takashiro's mother was a geisha in her youth.
Thirty years ago, on the day when Yuriko Takagi's mother first appeared on stage, she met Saya Takagi's grandfather, who was then an officer in a certain military unit in the island nation.
The man was wealthy and the woman was beautiful; their meeting was like a golden breeze and jade dew.
It's possible that diaper covers weren't widely available at the time, or perhaps they simply didn't use them.
After that day, Yuriko Takashiro's mother unexpectedly became pregnant, which was both unexpected and reasonable.
However, Saya Takagi's grandfather had already started a family and had a son.
Therefore, they naturally wouldn't let the other party give birth to this child of unknown origin; they simply gave her some money and sent her away.
However, Yuriko Takashiro's mother may have been thinking of using her unborn child to gain status and enter the Takashiro family in the future, or it may simply be due to her maternal instincts being overwhelmed by pregnancy.
Therefore, she ultimately did not choose to abort the child, but instead secretly gave birth to Yuriko Takashiro in her womb and raised her alone.
Although the Takashiro family eventually learned of Yuriko Takashiro's existence, perhaps because they saw that she had given birth to a daughter, the Takashiro family did not make things too difficult for the widow and her child.
They even provide the mother and daughter with a sum of money for raising them every now and then.
Apart from that, they had almost no contact with each other.
This continued until Yuriko Takagi graduated from university.
Yuriko Takagi studied finance at a well-known university in the United States.
Perhaps it is because she has an exceptional talent in this area, or perhaps it is because she has an exceptionally keen sense for financial investment.
During her internship on Wall Street, Yuriko Takagi displayed astonishing skills in a financial event, making her an instant sensation.
Following this incident, Yuriko Takashiro rose rapidly and quickly became one of the most prominent and successful women on Wall Street.
However, it was at this time that she unexpectedly encountered Takagi Soichiro, who was on a business trip to the Ugly Country, and was Takagi Saya's father.
Soichiro Takagi is utterly captivated by Yuriko Takagi's talent. He not only acknowledges her abilities but also harbors the idea of finding a stepmother for Saya Takagi.
He immediately began pursuing Yuriko Takashiro.
At that time, Yuriko Takashiro was in her prime and immersed in her favorite financial industry, stirring up trouble on Wall Street.
How could she possibly accept someone else's advances, give up her beloved career, and willingly become a virtuous wife and loving mother?
Besides, she's a stepmother?
Therefore, he naturally showed no respect for Takashiro Soichiro.
Although Takashiro Soichiro was disappointed after being rejected, he did not act like a clown and do anything to Takashiro Yuriko.
It was only when he returned home and took over the family affairs that he suddenly discovered that the Takashiro family had a fixed expense that was transferred to the same account every year.
Out of curiosity, he delved deeper and finally discovered that Yuriko Takashiro was actually his half-sister.
Overjoyed, they then found Yuriko Takashiro's mother.
It's unclear what kind of agreement was reached with Yuriko Takagi's mother, but she successfully persuaded Yuriko Takagi to give up her career in Ushiko Province and join the Takagi family to assist him, Soichiro Takagi.
Soichiro Takashiro succeeded.
Although Yuriko Takagi was unwilling at the time, she was reluctant because of her mother who had raised her alone since she was a child, and because of the kindness of the Takagi family who had always paid child support for her and her mother.
In addition, it happened during the financial crisis.
Left with no other choice, Yuriko Takagi eventually withdrew from the limelight and entered the Takagi family.
As for why she eventually became Saya Takagi's mother?
It wasn't that there was anything sordid between her and Takashiro Soichiro.
It's Takashiro Soichiro who's shameless, but she still has a sense of shame.
It all stemmed from a wonderful misunderstanding.
When Saya Takagi was born, her biological mother died in childbirth.
As a father, Soichiro Takagi did something for Saya Takagi, just like most single parents would do for their children.
lie!
He kept deceiving Takagi Saya, telling her that her mother had gone to a very far place.
As time went by, Saya Takagi slowly grew up, and because she had never met her mother, she gradually began to question her father's claims.
Just then, Yuriko Takagi entered the Takagi residence.
With just one glance, Takagi Saya mistook the other person for her mother and rushed towards her.
Yuriko Takagi may have seen a reflection of her own childhood in Saya Takagi, recalling the difficulties of growing up in a single-parent family.
He then felt pity for Takagi Saya and did not refuse her address to him.
Thus, a wonderful misunderstanding was born.
If nothing unexpected happens, this misunderstanding may continue indefinitely.
But unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.
Su Yan has appeared!
Yuriko Takagi had only ever known of Su Yan's existence through Saya Takagi.
Because of her past experience as a successful businesswoman in finance, she could easily deduce that the reason her opponent could only rank second in the grade despite poor historical grades was probably because of her background at Tokyo University.
A genius, and someone who holds firm to his own principles.
This was Yuriko Takagi's impression of Su Yan before she even met him.
Until today, she finally saw Su Yan in person.
They were immediately awestruck.
As is well known in the financial investment world, there has always been a saying that investment is not about investing in projects, but about investing in people.
The moment Yuriko Takagi saw Su Yan, she knew he was the most worthwhile investment in the world.
It's like a time traveler who travels back to the Qin Dynasty and encounters the young First Emperor.
She simply couldn't suppress the strong desire to invest within her.
As for the Takashiro family?
Her mother had passed away a few years ago, and she felt that she had done so much for the Takashiro family over the years, making them a significant force in Tokyo City, and that she had long since repaid the so-called debt of gratitude.
More importantly, the sudden outbreak of such a terrifying zombie crisis in Bedhouse City today.
However, the Takashiro family, whose base was in Tokoname City, had not received any prior warning, which was surprising given her keen eye as an investor.
It's either Japanese pills or Tokoname City pills.
But regardless of the outcome, it all points to one thing: the Takashiro family is doomed.
If Su Yan has feelings for Takashiro Saya, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.
Unfortunately, when she mentioned Takashiro Saya to Su Yan, he refused without hesitation because of the Takashiro family's political leanings.
Therefore, for her, there is only one answer left.
She staked her entire life on investing in the project she believed in most.
Su Yan!
The story is over.
Yuriko Takagi winked playfully at Su Yan and said, "Su Yan, how about it? Are you interested in accepting my investment?"
