Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Raw eggs seasoned with pepper. Mom says it's good for wounds."

He looked at the yellow sticky liquid in the cup and imagined himself retching like the girl did yesterday.

“I got up early and did it.”

He just looked at her slightly curved crescent moon, as if gloating over her misfortune.

I worked so hard to make it for you, how can you not drink it?

This little girl seems a little different.

Hachiman picked up the cup, pinched his nose, and gulped down the raw egg in one breath. His face turned blue immediately.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's drink some water."

Kato Megumi still smiled gently and placed the water that she had prepared earlier in front of him. Hachiman rolled his eyes at her.

Has your dark side awakened?

Kato Megumi turned to the kitchen and said, "Mr. Hikigaya, please wash up. We will have breakfast soon."

"I don't remember buying any ingredients to put in the refrigerator." Hachiman asked. He just used this place as a place to sleep. When he was hungry, he would either order takeout or go out to eat.

The aroma of grilled fish mixed with miso soup wafted over, and Kato Megumi's voice came from afar: "Ah, I went to the supermarket this morning and looked for it for a long time."

Hachiman felt a sense of disharmony in her heart. She seemed like the Buddhist girl she used to be, but more transparent, with a freshness after the rain, without the turbidity of struggling in the dye vat in the past few days.

When the young man came out of the shower, Kato Megumi had already prepared breakfast and was waiting there.

Hachiman sat down and the girl handed him the chopsticks. He tried the taste and found it was almost the same as what he had made. In addition, he had consumed a lot of energy while his wounds were healing, so his appetite was now open.

The girl who was drinking the soy sauce soup showed a look of pride that she couldn't hide, and then said: "The quality of the pork here is not very good. If it was the black pork my grandma sent over, the soy sauce would taste fresher."

Kato Megumi sometimes chattered, and sometimes took the initiative to add more food to Hachiman. Against the backdrop of the sunlight and the sparrows on the telephone poles, she looked like a virtuous wife.

"What are you doing?" Hachiman was full of question marks.

"Wouldn't role-playing help me improve my acting skills?"

Kato Megumi said nonchalantly, "Is that all?" Hachiman was a little confused.

Even though we disturbed the people from Zunxing Sect yesterday, at least it did not affect today's financing meeting.

When they were ready to go out, Hachiman looked at her and said, "Are you sure you want to go out with me? There are many company employees here."

After all, it's a staff dormitory. If you see Kato Megumi coming out of the president's dormitory during working hours, it goes without saying what you can imagine.

"Well, Miss Hui doesn't care about such rumors."

She said calmly, following Hachiman out of the room.

As expected, when the employees who were about to go to work saw Kato Megumi walking beside the president like a young wife, their eyes suddenly lit up and their gossiping hearts were burning. There was even a beast whistle at them from across the floor. You guys are really spoiled too much.

Kato Megumi walked slowly, and didn't seem to care much about the looks and teasing of the employees. Instead, she looked at the crowds of people going to work.

"In fact, I have wanted to try it for a long time. What would it feel like to be someone's wife and work hard with her husband? Now, I think it's pretty good."

The morning sun was already somewhat steaming, and sweat was slightly oozing out of my forehead. Around me were people going to work. For most people, days like this were a lifetime routine.

But Miss Hui is definitely not included in them.

"It would not be bad if I could be an ordinary office worker," Hachiman said sincerely.

"But if you were just an ordinary office worker, I wouldn't be standing next to you now."

Kato Megumi seemed to be laughing at his hypocrisy. If you were not so powerful, would you have let her change her clothes and cook soup for you?

"Hahaha, so which one do you prefer?" Hachiman didn't care about Kato Megumi's hidden venom. Being an ordinary office worker was nothing but the dust of past obsessions.

"Be glad you are like this now." Kato Megumi said softly, then walked forward on her own.

If you weren't like this now, I wouldn't have the chance to stand by you.

Hachiman paused for a moment and followed. At the company gate, there was already a car waiting. Eriri and Sayuri were both sitting in the car. Eriri had a hard time holding down the mother who had become a naughty child.

But when Eriri looked at Kato Megumi's appearance, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Mei, you..."

They had clearly gone to the swimming pool together three days ago, but now both their appearance and temperament had changed greatly. Standing next to Hachiman, she did not look childish at all. In comparison, she looked like an ignorant high school student.

Kato Megumi gently placed her fingers on her lips, signaling Eriri not to ask.

In front of the car, Xiao P, Shigeo and other employees were waiting there. After all, whether Tiktik could develop smoothly depended on today.

"Well, I'm off." Hachiman shouted with all his energy, but he was still very frivolous, which made the atmosphere of the life-and-death battle less tense.

Seeing their boss so confident, everyone couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, Kato Megumi suddenly took two steps forward and said, "Mr. Hikigaya, wait a moment."

Just when Hachiman was wondering, he saw Kato Megumi put his fingers around his neck and adjusted his tie.

"The tie is crooked, and it's easy to lose points if investors see it." She said calmly, fulfilling the duties of a secretary.

The employees at the back whistled again. The anonymous internal communication forum of the company was noisy just now, and a group of single dogs continued to wail about the unscrupulous boss who took all the high-quality resources for himself.

What surprised them even more was that Kato Megumi took this opportunity to gently stand on tiptoe and kiss the president on the forehead.

"The blessing of the goddess of victory?" Hachiman was also stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"So keep working hard and don't let my efforts these days go to waste." Kato Megumi said in a flat voice.

Eriri, who was watching from the side, was almost confused. What was going on? Was I in the wrong world?

Chapter 6 Hello, my name is Kato Megumi (Part ) (K chapter)

Sequoia Capital's Neon office is in Shibuya. At this moment, the tiktik team represented by Yawata is waiting in the lounge for the meeting to begin.

He had wanted to familiarize himself more with the plan. After all, although he had built the framework of the plan, the details were left to his employees to perfect. However, he had no time to do so last night.

But now he was being nagged and couldn't concentrate. Ever since Eriri saw Kato Megumi kissing him, she had always thought that he was using some despicable means to threaten Kato Megumi.

"Otherwise, how could Hui be interested in a man like you!" The little canine teeth were about to bite his arm.

Hachiman laughed in silence, closed his computer, and decided to improvise later: "If you don't like me, do you like someone like Amami Tomoya?"

Eriri was choking and about to pounce on him: "You also know that Hui is Renye's girlfriend, and Renye is honest enough, not like you who has so many tricks."

The young man chuckled and lit a cigarette as if no one was around: "In our world, there is a saying, 'loyalty doesn't matter, what matters is whether the temptation is enough'. Let's not talk about whether this saying is wrong or not, but that night, Tomoya-kun clearly said the three words 'I do'. Is this the herbivorous male protagonist in light novels? I see."

Seeing that the young man could clearly tell what happened that night, Ying Lili's face changed drastically: "How did you know that?"

She didn't even tell Hui about this because she was afraid it would affect their relationship.

Suddenly, Ying Lili thought of the intimate couple next door that day: "Could it be you...that woman...that was next door that night? But how could it be Hui? I don't believe it!"

Eriri's heartstrings trembled, as if she had discovered some secret that shattered her worldview.

It was this guy that night...and Hui?

But the young man looked at Sayuri who was sleeping on the table and said: "Someone drugged me that night, but I got caught by mistake."

However, he kept the affair between him and Sayuri secret and did not tell Airi, in order to prevent her from being overly shocked and becoming mentally ill.

But he didn't expect that Miss Airi witnessed his and Sayuri's one-night stand all night, and also learned the ins and outs of his mother's actions.

She slumped on the sofa and said, "How could that be? So Hui wants to take revenge?"

Was it because of her initial question that caused a rift in their relationship?

Hachiman shook his head and said without exaggerating, "That's not the case. She wanted to participate in the exchange student program to go abroad, but the number of places was limited, so I gave her a chance. She became very popular in a few days, so I recommended her to become an exchange student, and she did it."

"If that's the case, why does Hui treat you like that?" Ying Lili really didn't understand.

Hachiman exhaled smoke and smiled frivolously, "Who knows? Maybe she feels that instead of staying with an honest man who is not loyal to begin with, being a virtuous full-time housewife for the rest of her life, waiting for him to cheat the first time and then the second time, it is better to seize this opportunity and pay a little price to complete the promotion."

“Don’t talk like you know Kei very well.”

"I don't know her very well, but after that night she acted as if nothing had happened to you. Do you really know what she was thinking?"

Hachiman gently prompted Eriri, and she suddenly realized that, yes, it was she who asked the question that night, and Kei also heard it, but when she saw Kei again, she did not show any sign of abnormality.

But soon, Eriri glared at the man and realized that he was trying to sow discord between them.

It was just that Eriri's little head was confused for a while before she thought of a question. What would Hui choose? Actually, she couldn't be blamed. After all, it was Tomoya that night...

But what about the young man in front of me?

Eriri raised her head slightly and asked seriously, "What do you think of Hui?"

Hachiman put out the cigarette, still with a frivolous smile on his face, and a little bit evil: "What do you think?"

Eriri's heart skipped a beat, and when she was about to ask more questions, Hachiman stood up and gently slapped her head: "Eri, it's your turn to play a role."

The people from Sequoia Capital have finally arrived.

Hachiman looked at the leading man, who seemed a little too young, probably in his thirties, with the nameplate reading "Shinomiya".

The young man was slightly distracted, but quickly came to his senses and shook hands with the man.

Eriri seemed to recognize the man and whispered, "The second son of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Seishi."

Then, Eriri started to greet Sayuri. Although Sayuri read out the words verbatim, her tone and expression were a little strange. However, as a daughter, Eriri looked normal and no one else said anything, and the meeting began soon.

Hachiman looked at the PPT carefully prepared by his subordinates, and actually he already had an idea in his mind.

"The rise of short videos is essentially a sinking of discourse power. In the past, everyone watched the creation of stars and idols, but now everyone wants to become a celebrity or idol..."

"Tiktik alone has a valuation of 10 billion US dollars. We have been ranked first in the IOS download list for three consecutive weeks..."

The young man seemed to be giving a passionate speech, but his eyes were actually on the man named Sigong Shengshi. He had a faint smile on his face and no malice in his eyes.

Another squinty-eyed monster, so annoying.

"Recently, TikTik will establish an MCN organization to steadily cultivate KOLs (key opinion leaders). Top influencers have a certain element of opportunity, but mid-level influencers can be mass-produced with a stable operating model, ultimately bringing the shortest sales conversion path to the brand, that is, live streaming with goods..."

"At the same time, in order to cater to the subculture phenomenon favored by young people, the cultivation of virtual idols is also one of our options..."

"Here is a case. If you have been paying attention to Twitter these days, you will have noticed the overnight rise of the internet celebrity 'Miss Hui'. She is an example created by Tiktik and a luxury brand. In the future, we intend to cultivate her into a vane of luxury goods..."

Eriri looked at the young man on the stage displaying his talent, which was dazzling beyond words. This was a kind of strength and aggressiveness that was rarely seen among Japanese people.

Listening to the applause from the group of picky investors in the audience, she couldn't help but compare herself to Lun Ye.

If Hui really changed her mind, perhaps it wouldn't be that hard to understand.

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

Amid the applause, Hachiman led the team slowly out of the conference room. It was still Shinomiya Kaguya's second brother, Mr. Seishi, who came out to greet and see them off.

"Mr. Hikigaya, your speech is really brilliant. Although we still have to go through an internal vote, I don't think anyone would be shortsighted enough to reject such a technology company."

Hachiman chuckled and said, "What about you?"

Sigong Shengshi stroked the wedding ring on his hand and coughed twice: "Me? I am different from others. I am not investing in Tiktik, but in you. It is better to say that I came here today just to see you in person."

"Is it because of your sister, Kaguya Shinomiya's campaign for councillor? You also want me to defeat her so as to eliminate a competitor for the position of family head?"

Hachiman looked at the pale and thin man in front of him with a smile, and a hint of surprise flashed in Shinomiya Shengshi's eyes, but it quickly turned into admiration.

"As expected... But I have a piece of news for you. My third brother Yunying has already arrived in Chiba and is ready to support little Kaguya in defeating you."

Hachiman frowned slightly. If it was understandable that the Shinomiya Seishi supported him to reduce his competitors, then why did the third son of the Shinomiya family help the youngest daughter Kaguya...

A word came to the young man's mind.

"Alliance?"

If there is any reason, it can only be speculated that the natural heir of the Shinomiya family is too powerful, so powerful that the other descendants have no chance at all unless they unite.

In the battle for the throne among the nine dragons, isn't it also about getting rid of the natural heir, the Crown Prince, first?

There is nothing new under the sun.

Shigong Shengshi nodded gently: "Given your intelligence, I will not interfere in your dispute with Kaguya for the position of county councilor. I will push for the financing plan to be passed as a favor."

Hachiman couldn't help laughing. If this favor was told to the person himself, wouldn't the weight of this favor be greatly reduced?

"In that case, why do you still want to get rid of Kaguya first and get her out of the game?"

Hachiman asked, when the eldest son was powerful, Kaguya was obviously a helper, no more and no less.

Shigong Shengshi paused for a moment: "Supporting Kaguya to take the throne means caring about her? Wanting to get her out first means being afraid of her?"

Hachiman glanced at his thin face and felt that such complicated interpersonal relationships among noble families were better left alone.

In short, his financing goal was achieved and he received 32 million US dollars.

As for the competition for county councillor, he will talk about it after he returns to Chiba.
