Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

But Shijo Shinki was no longer embarrassed by the car crash and said, "Don't think I don't know that you have been appointed by Shigong Huangguang as the new boss of Shigong Media. Haha, by the way, the Jess you are negotiating with has been acquired by me. Who knows if you are here to steal information?"

"Oh, little girl, you get information pretty fast. You found out right after the Shinomiya family had just finished their family gathering. Although I'm not interested in stealing information, I'm still quite interested in the Shijo Group."

Hachiman said that compared to the Shinomiya family, which colluded with money and power to abuse its influence for personal gain, the multinational group Shijo family was more in line with people's imagination of modern enterprises.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Shijo Shinki immediately drove the guest away.

Hachiman shrugged. Now that he had been exposed and things had come to this, it would be inappropriate for him to stay any longer. Besides, it was about time that Kaguya would come looking for him.

"Remember my high-end crown." Hachiman reminded before leaving.

The veins on the four concubines' foreheads bulged out, and she said to the two girls, "You have really bad taste. You like such a calculative man."

"I don't like him."

"Ahahaha, it's okay."

Two different styles of answers, but revealing the same meaning, Shiyu and Isshiki looked at each other.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of Shijo Shinki's mouth, and then she said seriously: "I say, do you want revenge?"

"Revenge?" Isshiki asked curiously.

"That's right, revenge. Revenge on the man who played with us. Aren't you angry? His playing dumb. Aren't you angry? His perfunctory attitude? Now there is an opportunity in front of you. Follow me and raise the banner of rebellion!"

At this point, a three-person alliance was formed, named: The Loser Alliance.

Chapter 67 Taking Office

In the early morning, in the courtyard where it had just rained, the wet banana trees were slowly dripping with water. Fortunately, the drizzle stopped before dawn, and the dawn sunlight shone on the banana trees and the water drops, bringing out a different kind of vitality.

Early in the morning, the sound of light footsteps was heard in Sayoko Shinomiya's villa.

Not long after, the sound of frying food was heard. The Shinomiya family had a cafeteria, and generally, breakfast was eaten there. But in this class-distinct family, one needed qualifications to eat in the cafeteria. As the young lady of the legitimate family, Sayoko originally had this qualification, but she did not want to do so and would rather cook for herself in the villa.

But compared to usual, Sayoko's steps seemed to be lighter. She tied an apron and poured the beaten egg liquid into the pan. Soon a thick-bottomed tamagoyaki with a good appearance was ready.

She took off her apron, placed her breakfast on the low table, and then moved to the porch to sit down and enjoy her breakfast calmly while looking at the green banana trees.

This was a rare moment every day when Sayoko could feel peaceful. Since there were almost no other people in the villa, even her somewhat outrageous behavior of having breakfast in the corridor could be forgiven, and Sayoko forgave herself.

Compared to the family gathering a few days ago, Sayoko's hairstyle now looked neater. She used scissors to trim her bangs.

After finishing breakfast, Sayoko took out a white shirt, a gray professional suit skirt and jacket, and black stockings to wrap her legs from the closet.

She took off her loose clothes, revealing her graceful figure. In the room where sunlight was pouring in, under the reflection of the full-length mirror, Sayoko slowly put on her black suspender stockings from the base of her legs, which went down her thighs little by little.

She pursed her lips, looked at her body, and gently put her fingers into her lips, but such an unconscious behavior surprised her. Who could she show such a pretentious coquettish look to?

Calming herself down, she quickly put on the women's suit.

Today was the day she temporarily left the Shinomiya household to "go to work". Although she had graduated from a prestigious women's university in Tokyo, she was ordered by her father to marry into a wealthy family right after graduation, so she had no work experience at all.

But for her, being able to leave such an environment and start a new life didn't feel bad, even though she knew she was being used.

Besides, she probably had no choice.

The woman checked her appearance in the full-length mirror again and took a deep breath with some uncertainty.

"Okay, let's go."

But when he arrived at the corridor, he saw Shinomiya Masamune standing there, looking at him calmly.

Sayoko pursed her lips, and holding on to her somewhat weak legs, she said, "I have to go to work at Shinomiya Media today. The time is almost up, and I can't be late..."

Shinomiya Masamune looked at his wife. Today she exuded a different charm than before. Her bangs like a princess' hairstyle made her look more charming.

"Don't forget your mission. You must report back to me every move of that man named Hikigaya Hachiman."

After saying that, he turned his wheelchair and left. This made Sayoko, who had gotten up early to prepare, feel gloomy in her heart.

But she knew she didn't have the courage to resist.

When leaving the corridor, he saw a girl leaning against the wall as if she was waiting for him.

Reiko Shinomiya, the daughter of Shinomiya Yunying, is the culprit who stole Sayoko's clothes before.

"Is it so fun to be a puppet of a man in the Shinomiya family? I'm afraid my uncle in heaven would cry." Shinomiya Reiko said provocatively.

Shinomiya Sayoko lowered her head slightly and turned her head to the side, away from Reiko.

"Not everyone is as brave as you, Lingzi."

Instantly, a trace of ferocity appeared on Shigong Reiko's face. This was the woman she once regarded as her sister, but she didn't even have the courage to avenge her parents? !

Lingzi breathed slowly and smiled faintly, "In that case, let me give you a push."

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

Sleeping in an unfamiliar place made Hachiman's sleep quality not very good. He yawned and walked out of the room. A ray of sunlight made him feel very blinded. Then he saw Kaguya sitting at the dining table reading some information, while the maid Hayasaka Ai was preparing breakfast.

This is an apartment building in Tokyo's Minato Ward. Since Hachiman is about to take over as the head of Shinomiya Media, Kaguya lent this place to Hachiman to improve his business and interpersonal relationships within the group. He will officially take office today.

By the way, this entire high-end apartment building is owned by Kaguya, and this is in Tokyo's Minato Ward where every inch of land is valuable.

Even though he is not welcomed in the Shinomiya family, just a little bit of water is enough to make a fortune that most people cannot earn in their entire life. It is truly terrifying.

Hachiman yawned and sat at the dining table. Kaguya raised her eyebrows, looked at the man with some dissatisfaction, and gently pushed the coffee over to him.

"I haven't drunk it yet." She emphasized deliberately.

Hachiman didn't care about that. The warm coffee went down his throat and warmed his stomach, which made him feel a little more refreshed.

Just at this moment, Hayasaka Ai brought breakfast over and placed it in front of the two of them. She glanced at Hachiman's messy collar and reached out to help him tidy it up.

"Really? I have to go to a group meeting today. So many department heads are gathered together. If I can't even put my clothes in order, I will be laughed at."

Kaguya, who was far away, saw what Hayasaka Ai was doing and let out a soft cry. This was originally what she wanted to do. It was the wife's responsibility to tidy up her husband's collar. Why would a mere maid come to join in the fun?

Not knowing Kaguya's thoughts, Hachiman said with a smile: "No matter how neatly I dress, will those old men on the hills look down on me, a son-in-law from the countryside?"

"Even so, you can't give up on yourself." Hayasaka Ai shook her head and straightened his collar.

"Thank you." Hachiman apologized, and Hayasaka Ai smiled back, making the two of them look even more like a newlywed couple.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Kaguya quickly interrupted the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere between the two and glared at Hayasaka Ai.

The blonde maid stuck out her tongue and sat down next to Kaguya.

"The prerequisite for doing anything is to clarify what our ultimate goal should be, right?" said Hachiman.

"Of course, let me take the position of the head of the Shinomiya family." Kaguya said without hesitation.

"Then why do you think Shigong Huangguang handed over Shigong Media to us? What was his plan?" Hachiman continued to ask.

This is actually not difficult to see; it is better to say that Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone.

"The Shijo family is coming at you aggressively. Huang Guang needs someone to be his vanguard. And as you said, the Shigong Media itself is full of factions, and even the Shigong family can't control it."

Chapter 68 Everyone here is a loser

"The Shijo family is coming at you aggressively. Huang Guang needs someone to be his vanguard. And as you said, the Shigong Media itself is full of factions, and even the Shigong family can't control it."

Shinomiya Kaguya said worriedly. In her opinion, she and Hachiman would not only face external troubles such as the Shijo family, but also internal troubles such as the leaders of Shinomiya Media.

Hachiman said with a smile: "Shigong Huangguang has made a good calculation. He threw a poisonous bait worth hundreds of billions for us to swallow. If I am not capable enough, I can fight with the Shijo family and both of us will suffer losses, and let him be the fisherman. If I can withstand the Shijo family and clean up the internal forces, he will come out to reap the fruits at that time."

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly, because what Hachiman said was not a possibility, but an open conspiracy of the other party.

"But if I do nothing, I won't be recognized by anyone in the Shigong family, and naturally I won't be able to get the position of the head of the family... You are worthy of being Brother Huang Guang."

This will put Kaguya into a vicious circle. No matter how hard she works in Shinomiya Media, she will ultimately not be able to escape the trap of that man.

However, at least the problem has been made clear.

"So, what's the solution?" Shinomiya Kaguya slowly ate Hayasaka Ai's delicious breakfast.

Hachiman forked up a fried egg, took a bite, and said, "How should I put it? You are worthy of being the Shinomiya family. You have been at ease for too long, and your foundation is too solid. Even with external enemies like the Shijo family around, you still have time to engage in internal strife. And, let me say that your thinking is all stuck in the rigid state of maintaining the status quo."

The young man took a sip of coffee and said, "Let me repeat it again. The key point is to make achievements in Sigong Media that will enhance your reputation and make it unquestionable. Strength can defeat skill. It's simple, isn't it?"

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly, then said: "I roughly know what you want to say, but this is the most difficult thing."

Hachiman shook his head and said, "That's only for you, including you, Shinomiya Kaguya. If you can't keep up with the times, you will be left behind by the times."

Hachiman's words made Shinomiya Kaguya's heart tighten.

About half an hour later, Hachiman and the other three went out and took a car to the Shinomiya Media Group building, a behemoth that controls half of the print media, radio stations and television stations in the Kanto region.

As soon as the three got off the car, a woman with black bangs was waiting for them.

Shinomiya Sayoko tilted her head slightly and said, "Aunt, uncle, Miss Hayasaka Ai, good morning."

She was very humble, with no awareness of being a young lady. Perhaps it was a habit she developed in the Sigong family. To use jargon, the cats and dogs in the mansion were more respectable than her.

"Good morning, Miss Sayoko," Kaguya greeted.

"As agreed, I will provide you with assistance as Mr. Hikigaya's secretary." Shinomiya Sayoko said in a low voice.

"That's great. I happen to be unfamiliar with the internal affairs of the Shinomiya family, so I'd like to trouble Miss Sayoko." Hachiman said in a tone as if he had been of great help.

"Uncle, you are too polite." There was a complicated look in Sayoko's eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly." Kaguya said with a little dissatisfaction. What a stupid guy! This is the wife of your wife's nephew. What on earth are you thinking about!

Of course Hachiman knew what Kaguya was thinking, and he didn't even bother to explain, so he said, woman, your name is superficial.

After the four of them entered, a department head led them to the conference room. The slightly plump man said respectfully, "Miss Kaguya, Mr. Hikigaya, the managers of the media broadcasting department, newspaper media department, and publishing department are already here and are waiting for you."

My goodness! Kaguya's eyebrows jumped, and she didn't even give them some time to buffer the handover, and she went straight to show her power.

"Go in and don't think too much." Hachiman said with a smile. Although everyone knew about Kaguya's parachuted-in president, how could it be possible for the heads of all departments to start trouble so quickly without someone fanning the flames behind the scenes?

Led by Hachiman, four people walked in slowly. Sayoko looked at the huge conference room, where there were more than 20 familiar and unfamiliar faces sitting there. The suppressed hostility and atmosphere almost made her breathless.

"Everyone, this is Miss Shinomiya Kaguya and Mr. Hikigaya Hachiman. Miss Kaguya has been appointed by the board of directors as the new president, and Mr. Hikigaya will be the president's assistant. Please applaud and welcome them."

The slightly plump department manager seemed to like to smooth things over. He first led the applause, but no one paid any attention to him, making the atmosphere awkward for a while.

Hachiman pressed down Kaguya's hand that was about to explode, and said, "Let me do it."

Kaguya nodded and let Hachiman walk to the president's seat. He didn't sit down, but pressed it, put his hands on the table, and spoke softly.

"First of all, I have one announcement to make. With the approval of investors, Sigong Media will acquire 30% of the shares of my technology company TIKTIK... Why am I saying this? Because I don't expect you old fossils who can't even use a smartphone to innovate your business."

"What did you say?"

"Shameless talk..."

“When you are doing business, you don’t even know where you are?”

"You have no idea how difficult it is to develop a TV station's business..."

Hachiman's tone of "I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, I'm just saying that everyone working here is a loser" irritated the hearts of these old men, most of whom were over 50 years old.

"So, don't worry. If someone has a heart attack, it will be my fault. I have already said that I don't expect your department's revenue to increase at all. I don't need you to bow and apologize. All my new businesses will be conducted on TikTik. This year's goal is to increase the group's revenue by more than 20%. If you exceed that, you can continue to eat high-end food, play golf, and support celebrities."

After finishing speaking, Hachiman took the others away, leaving the department heads who had wanted to make trouble confused. They were originally afraid that Kaguya and Hachiman would remove them as soon as they came, or split up the departments and affect their interests. However, judging from his remarks just now, although this guy's words were unpleasant to the ear, did he mean to keep out of each other's way?

Does he intend to take all the revenue growth by himself?

The heads of these departments felt somewhat relieved, but at the same time, they didn't know what Yawata was up to.

Chapter 69: Making Money, Making Money, and Making Money

Hachiman held a meeting and AOE'd all the old men in high positions. After scolding them, they felt relieved and went their separate ways. It was really a spectacle.

But this is understandable, because Hachiman did not touch their core interests.

What if Hachiman uses his authority as the president to lay off those people? It is still unknown whether he can come out with neat clothes.

When they arrived at the president's office, Hayasaka Ai took out the anti-eavesdropping device and prepared to scan it, then she took out two eavesdropping devices from behind the table and the prints hanging on the wall and flushed them into the toilet.

Hachiman sat in the president's luxurious leather chair and looked at the scenery below the port area leisurely. This was the 28th floor of the building, which could almost be said to be the highest floor. It was one of the few high-rise buildings in the port area. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, he could clearly see the people living downstairs.

This feeling is really great. Although it is just an empty shell now, I am the boss of Sigong Media, the largest media group in the country. How many people can be a son-in-law to my level?

"Come here, little secretary. I'm tired. Give me a massage."

Now that you have become the president, how can you do without the personal service of a secretary?

Shinomiya Sayoko was confused throughout the whole process. The development of the meeting was beyond her expectations from the beginning.

According to normal procedures, if Yawata, the parachuted president, wants to gain a certain amount of real power within the group, the fastest way is to remove some supervisors and gradually replace them with his own people, but he seems to have no intention of touching the current power structure.

Could it be that he is not as strong as he imagined?

Sayoko was a little confused.
