Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

"Oh, you're jealous..." Mikoto covered her mouth with one hand, hiding her lips that were about to curve into a smile, then walked over to Eiyo and whispered, "It's really embarrassing to tell you this, but if you and Mr. Takenaka... well, actually, it's quite scary. You know, you'll suddenly have a strong will to survive, and you'll really hope that someone will come and save you. Do you understand?"

"What do you mean?" Yingdai was completely baffled.

Mikoto stared at the trash can, seemingly gripped by immense fear, and said, "He's too powerful; no one can handle him alone..."

Yingdai also looked at the trash can, her puzzled gaze suddenly freezing. She seemed to have caught her breath, coughing and choking, her face flushed as she turned away, saying, "I...I want to sleep..."

Mikoto was also quite helpless, after all, this kind of thing was really too embarrassing to talk about, but in order to prevent Eiyo from competing with her for anything, she could only do it this way, taking advantage of Eiyo's thin skin...

Katsuhiko woke up at 7 a.m. in his apartment in Okubo.

Breakfast was already set on the table.

Little Lily was kneeling next to the cupboard, grinning foolishly, circling the number May 6th over and over again, with the note: "Collecting the household registration transcript."

I also drew a smiley face, Mrs. Takenaka and Mr. Takenaka.

Today is May 4th, there are two days left.

Katsuhiko placed his hand on her waist and gently stroked her smooth waist and hip curves for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

I'll prepare all the necessary documents for registering the videotape company today...

At 8:30 a.m., Katsuhiko rode his bicycle and brought Sayuri to Mikoto's convenience store.

Mikoto also happened to circle May 6th on the calendar with a red pen, a reserved smile on her face.

She heard the doorbell ring, and Sayuri entered the room arm in arm with Katsuhiko.

Mikoto immediately stuffed the calendar into the small drawer, stood up and said, "Good morning, Sayuri-chan. Why are you so happy today?"

"Good morning, Misaka-neechan! Hehe!"

Sayuri let go of Katsuhiko's arm and skipped into the game corner behind the shelf.

Mikoto glanced at Katsuhiko with a smile and asked softly, "Takenaka-san, how was last night?"

“Gossip, I’ll shut you up later.” Katsuhiko quickly pinched Mikoto’s fair chin and said, “Prepare the mortgage documents for the property and ask the bank how much they can lend. I want to start a videotape company with Tanaka Yutaka, and you’ll be the president.”

"What company?"

Sheng Yan calmly explained the type of videotape company.

Mikoto blushed and waved her hand, saying, "I don't want to be the president of that kind of company."

"Alright, then I'll just give you investment dividends."

Katsuhiko went around to the cashier, picked up the landline, and called Tanaka Yutaka to inquire about his schedule for the day and whether he had completed yesterday's tasks.

For Yutaka Tanaka, this was a piece of cake.

When he got back, he told his buddies, and the news spread quickly. He immediately recruited ten young men who had never been in a relationship, and they were all blushing with excitement.

For young men who have only seen the film and know nothing about the filming location, there are still many fantasies.

Tanaka Yutaka has already instructed his underlings to contact the actresses one by one.

The actresses thought Tanaka Yutaka had sent people to collect debts, so they kept hiding and their work wasn't progressing very quickly.

Of course, it will take at least a week before filming officially begins, so there's no rush.

Tanaka Yutaka also borrowed a lot of learning materials from the library, and is now at home with a few studious younger brothers, watching movies and frantically learning filming techniques.

When Sheng Yan made the call, strange sounds, like "ee-yah-yah" and "crying," came through the receiver.

After Tanaka Yutaka gave a detailed report on today's work progress, his tone suddenly became lazy, and he said:

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I need to go study... you bastard!" Tanaka Yutaka suddenly cursed into the phone, and the sound of slapping could be heard from the receiver. "I rented this film so you could study, what are you doing!?"

He seems quite busy… Katsuhiko cut to the chase and said directly, “When you find actresses, just tell them that we will provide them with the same benefits as a formal company, including insurance and contracts…”

"Are you crazy?"

Before Katsuhiko could finish speaking, Tanaka Yutaka exclaimed in surprise.

"These jobs are all part-time! They're replaced in batches, and each person only lasts five or six years at most. Which company is so greedy as to pay their insurance? They can only last one or two years at most. Providing them with medical care is an absolute huge expense! Are you doing this as welfare or making money? If you have money, you might as well donate it to me directly. I can bring five hundred brothers to back you up."

"Your suggestion is worth considering. I have my own plans. If we lose money, it's on me; if we make money, we'll split it."

"Fine, I don't have a penny in my pocket anyway, so I'm not afraid of losing money. Let me tell you, I'm only with you because you know Miss. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even look at them. Reimburse me for the rental of the videotapes later..."

After a lengthy, conciliatory complaint, Tanaka Yutaka hung up the phone.

Medical expenses are definitely a significant expenditure, not to mention unemployment insurance, pension insurance... Only a very small number of people can successfully transition to a stable life.

Mikoto, standing next to Katsuhiko, kept blinking.

Tanaka Yutaka's shouts were quite loud, and Mikoto vaguely heard a lot of them.

Although Mikoto didn't know much about the industry, she had heard a lot of news and met people who worked in it. Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of them died alone and could never get married again.

Moreover, his life after becoming unable to work was particularly miserable. Almost all the money he earned went to the hospital, and he eventually died quietly.

Mikoto remained uninvolved in Katsuhiko's decision. Although it seemed like he wasn't making any money, she felt he was so loving and noble.

Mikoto knew that the reason she had such brainless thoughts was probably because she had a different kind of love-struck mind than Sayuri.

But there was nothing she could do; he had completely overwhelmed her, and she didn't want to resist at all, because it was just too easy for her...

Of course, for Sheng Yan, it's a sure thing that he'll make a profit.

There is a "recovery potion" that, when diluted and secretly drunk, can only be described as a miracle of the human immune system.

We can also advertise for the energy drink "Blue Bull" once the business grows larger...

Even if the actresses can no longer appear on screen, there is a "focus potion" that allows them to learn skills and work in a beverage processing factory, which would be a good option. They can work healthily until they retire in their sixties or seventies.

Chapter 39 Those who have never experienced heartbreak don't know how heartbroken people feel.

Katsuhiko decides to continue returning to Mikoto's house.

Let's see if Qinye and Yingdai have liquidated the factory assets, and also collect some coins.

After all, it's hard to predict whether the next target will use this method to generate coins, so try to save as many as possible if you can.

Mikoto also needs to go home to prepare the mortgage documents for the property.

She walked around the cashier and called out loudly to the game corner, "Little Lily, I need to go home with Mr. Takenaka. Could you watch the shop for me?"

Little Lily tilted her head out from behind the shelf and said with a grin, "Okay."

Katsuhiko rode his bicycle home with Mikoto. Just as they turned the corner out of sight of the convenience store, Mikoto wrapped her arms around Katsuhiko's waist and said with a grin, "In two more days, I will officially become Mrs. Takenaka."

"Great, great, congratulations, congratulations."

"Little Lily is happy too! Honey, you'd better work hard to make her happy. When the time comes, you and Little Lily go get your new marriage certificate, and I'll sneak off to get it..."

Mikoto especially wanted Sayuri to continue to be immersed in happiness, so she had to hide the new household registration copy well.

The two chatted for a while and arrived home in less than ten minutes.

Eiyo and Kotoha are still calculating the factory assets, and their location has been moved from the living room floor to the Japanese-style room.

The two of them slept in the tatami room last night, and no matter how much Mikoto refused, she wouldn't go into the master bedroom.

After all, it's extremely impolite for someone staying at Mikoto's house to occupy the host's bedroom to sleep.

After Katsuhiko and Mikoto entered, the two of them naturally stood up to greet each other, but Eiyo's gaze towards Katsuhiko seemed evasive.

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow and met her gaze.

She abruptly turned her head away, her face flushed red.

Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled, saying nothing, took the property documents, said goodbye, and left.

After Mikoto left, Katsuhiko continued to sit in the same position, his gaze brushing past Eiyo's pert nose and landing on Kotoha's smooth forehead.

Within minutes, a 100-yuan coin appeared in his palm, and the piggy bank was overflowing.

Katsuhiko took out the storage box where Chika kept her toys, put it in, and then sat back down with the empty piggy bank, continuing to put the toys in one by one.

The crisp sound of coins dropping into the porcelain jar echoed throughout the room… Yingdai and Qinye seemed to have gotten used to this one-on-one gaze…

Of course, Sheng Yan didn't keep an eye on the two of them all the time. He found himself a task: to draft the copy for the videotape design company and prepare the company registration documents for two days later.

The registered capital is simply "100 million yen" for a contract company. There's no need to attract investment or demonstrate the company's strength to anyone.

The registered address should be Kenta's food processing plant, since customers don't need to visit the store.

The workplace could be a food processing plant, or Tanaka Yutaka's rented apartment. Or maybe... Kotoha's house? No, she'd probably go crazy.

Although she looks miserable now, she will probably return to her true nature after Kenta's incident is over.

Furthermore, the whereabouts of the 50 million yen in start-up capital she had must be kept from her; she must not know that it was invested in such a company.

After preparing the registration information, Katsuhiko called Tanaka Yutaka.

Considering Tanaka Yutaka's management experience with more than 500 brothers, he was appointed as the vice president, nominally the head of the company.

As for his triad affiliation, since his gang 21 was busted by the police, it must have been reported. So theoretically, they were just a group of unemployed vagrants and street urchins, essentially seeking new employment after leaving the workforce, and wouldn't have much impact on the company's future.

"Let me tell you, I only became the vice president because you know the young lady. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have accepted the job even if you offered it to me..."

After venting his frustrations, Tanaka Yutaka quickly asked, "Where do you find finance and legal counsel? In this line of work, surprise inspections are inevitable, so you have to find trustworthy people..."

Tanaka Yutaka, clutching his mobile phone, broke into a smile.

It's like he's officially started working now, and he's in the process of getting rid of his black spots. He's had enough of the humiliation of being chased and yelled at by the police.

One of the members of the neighboring Guanzhou Federation, who used to be trash that could be trampled on at will, can now shake hands with the police chief and even call him from time to time to ask about his situation and whether he wants to challenge him to a fight.

Damn it! Tanaka Yutaka was so angry that his teeth itched. Several times he wanted to smash his only decent mobile phone, the phone bill of which was paid for by his brothers.

"The company hasn't been registered yet, no rush..."

Katsuhiko immediately thought of Kotoha and Eiyo. Apart from the two of them, he really couldn't find anyone else for the time being, at least not for another half a month.

"The legal department can wait, but the finance department needs to act quickly. The guys are waiting for dinner... When are you going to reimburse me for the videotape rental fee?"

"I'll have Mikoto give you 100,000 yen tomorrow."

"This is called reimbursement, an advance on salary, it can't be called a payment."

"Alright, alright!" Katsuhiko said dismissively, and then, remembering the "actresses covering their faces" strategy he had devised, he briefly explained it to Tanaka Yutaka, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Tanaka Yutaka's strange shout.
