Persona: Devil Summoner

Teacher Maruki took out a box while joking.

"Ah, but there's no place for you in the chopsticks."

Teacher Maruki seemed to have thought of something and quickly reminded.

Here is also a reminder for non-Japanese children, Japanese instant noodles do not provide disposable forks! So, if you want to eat Japanese instant noodles, you need to bring your own chopsticks or forks, otherwise you can only use a ballpoint pen or toothbrush, which is too uncomfortable.

Jiang Tianwei glanced at him coldly and said, "It's just instant noodles. At most I can show you how to make noodles with my hands. Don't you know that this is a Mongolian specialty?"

Jiang Tianwei casually changed the subject of the hand-pulled rice. In the end, Teacher Maruki relented and found two glass sticks for him. Oh, this is the magic tool that is always used when adjusting the reagent in the chemistry course. It can be used for stirring, drainage, and transferring solids. Now it is used for eating noodles, directly combining three functions into one. It is really putting what you have learned into practice, and it highlights pragmatism.

It was so noisy outside that Jiang Tianwei estimated that he would not be able to escape in the short term. He would hide with Teacher Maruki for a while before planning his future affairs.

In the past few months, Mr. Maruki has transformed the infirmary into his second home. You must have heard this saying when you were in school, right? You should take care of the school as if it were your home. Mr. Maruki really treats this place as his home.

The infirmary has its own bed, kettle, air conditioner, and you can store some food. It's like a home! If it were a Resident Evil series, this place would be a resource point, and it might even be a safe house.

"But I really didn't expect that you would take the initiative to make it public."

Teacher Maruki handed the bowl of noodles to Jiang Tianwei and chatted with him casually. Jiang Tianwei also sighed: "At that time, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Now I am beginning to regret it."

It’s true that all kinds of people have their own troubles.

Even when he was the emperor, the common people only saw that he was well-dressed and well-fed, but they didn't see that he was assassinated every now and then, and there were a bunch of bastards who wanted to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes every day. The harem of three thousand beauties that many people envied, in fact, some people have verified that the emperor's harem was often filled with political marriages from various countries. Don't be fooled by TV dramas! Not all princesses have to be particularly beautiful! There are many royal relatives who are mediocre or even ugly.

Being the emperor of China is still good, but if you want to be the emperor of the British Empire... you have to make sure you live long enough to outlive your mother...

"Well, actually, you can think of it another way - why don't you treat it as a social experiment?"

As Maruki Takuto spoke, he opened the lid of his noodle. The rising hot steam immediately covered his glasses, making them look cute and white.

"Social experiment?"

"Yeah, it's not bad to think of it as studying the operating rules of human society, right?"

Maruki Takuto said this, smiled, and gave him a thumbs up.

However, social experiments are still a little obscure for a high school student. You know what they mean, but you don't understand them when you think about them. If anyone doesn't believe me, please try to name ten social experiments without searching.

Seeing that Jiang Tianwei didn't understand, he expanded his explanation, "That is to say, since it has already happened, why don't you try to make use of your unique conditions? Now the entire network and society are paying attention to you..."

"Um, it's not that I don't understand the situation, I just don't understand what a social experiment is."

"… A social experiment…"

When Maruki Takuto heard this, he laughed dryly and thought, should I start explaining from here? Then, just as he was about to explain to Jiang Tianwei, his brain suddenly got stuck...

Yes, many things are like this, asking you do you know? Yes. Do you understand? Yes. OK, then explain it to me - sorry, I can't explain it.

The same goes for Maruki Takuto. Does he know what a social experiment is? Of course he knows, but how can he explain to others what a social experiment is?

This stuck him, especially since Jiang Tianwei had such a rare and unique condition. He didn't want to destroy Jiang Tianwei's independent thinking. He was also very curious about what choice Jiang Tianwei would make in this environment. Once he opened his mouth, it might affect his judgment.

After thinking for a long time, Maruki Takuto let it go - I am a psychologist, not a sociologist, why do you think I am studying this? Eat noodles, eat noodles.

After putting down his bag, he started to eat noodles happily. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Tianwei didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, he was just killing time and didn't really want to get any advice from Maruki Takuto.

He really needed advice right now, but Maruki Takuto couldn't give it.

Because what he wants to do most now is to open the unscrupulous businessman of his dreams... No, that brand store. What he needs is advice on business management and how to become a millionaire.

Maruki Takuto couldn't possibly give him this advice. If he had this brain, he would have become a millionaire long ago. Why would he be so poor as to use the school's water and electricity?!

(Alas, isn’t there a tycoon with superb business skills who can teach me how to run a business… ah?! Isn’t there one!)

Suddenly, a perfect candidate flashed through Jiang Tianwei's mind! Yes, if it was that person! He would definitely be able to give me super good advice! After all, that person started from scratch, reversed the huge deficit of the family business, and finally successfully counterattacked and became the boss of a multinational group!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 669: Daughter, what kind of people do you know?

Kunikazu Okumura, this guy is indeed a bad guy.

It is true that every pore of the capitalist is filled with the blood and sweat of the workers.

But there is a big premise, that is, the capitalists must also be capable.

If he didn't have the ability to match it, why would so many people listen to him?

Moreover, considering Kunikazu Okumura's actual situation, the family business inherited from Kunikazu Okumura's father is shaky. Even if he wants to join Shido's faction and become his lackey, Shido will never agree.

Therefore, it must be that Okumura first ran the company successfully, and then he had the opportunity to become someone else's henchman, and then he had the opportunity to drive the black masked Goro Akechi to deal with his enemies.

This shows that although he is black-hearted, he is at least a businessman with means.

Jiang Tianwei just wanted to visit him.

If this is the person, especially Kunikazu Okumura who has changed his mind and become a conscientious businessman, he will definitely be able to give himself good business advice.

Even Jiang Tianwei himself was thinking that if he got the advice from Kunikazu Okumura, his company would be smooth sailing, and he would be able to kill anyone who stood in his way, become the best in the world, and make a lot of money... Then he could become the domineering CEO!

Jiang Tianwei had a good idea, but there was a small detail... that was, Jiang Tianwei's current sensitive identity made it impossible for him to come into contact with Okumura Kuni and the person who was being interrogated.

Don't forget, Kunikazu Okumura is a strong witness who can identify the real culprit of the cripple!

From a judicial perspective, although you did not kill the person yourself, you will still be held criminally liable for this kind of "hiring someone to kill."

Moreover, Kunikazu Okumura also frankly confessed the various mistakes he had made in the past, and the evidence against Goro Akechi was perfectly established. However, Kunikazu Okumura was a low-ranking peripheral person in the "political circle" he was in, and his main job was to provide financial support to the political bigwigs in this circle.

So although he cooperated with the police's questioning, he really couldn't come up with any useful accusations. This wasn't even the extent of cutting off a snake's tail, it was at most like cutting off a centipede's toe.

To visit a prisoner like this during such a sensitive period of time, one must be at least a blood relative.

Originally, this matter should have ended here.

But as luck would have it, when Jiang Tianwei left the police station, he ran into Amamiya Ren, who was accompanying Miss Okumura Haru to visit her father.

If it was just Miss Okumura alone, Jiang Tianwei would not have the nerve to do it. But when he saw there was an outsider, he felt much better.

Okumura Haru was not a particularly tough girl. She was kind-hearted and when she heard that Jiang Tianwei had questions to ask her father, she agreed to let her come along.

Like most crime films, this kind of meeting between the suspects is done in a glass interview. The transparent glass is said to be bulletproof, with a few small holes in the middle for sound transmission. In this way, it can be safely ensured that neither party will be in danger.

Okumura Kuniwa looked a little older, probably because he didn't have the luxury of taking care of his appearance in prison. But judging from his eyes and smile, he was much more energetic. At first glance, except for his complexion, he even looked a bit like the Okumura Kuniwa in the palace.

Come to think of it, no one is born a bad guy, and Kunikazu Okumura certainly has a good side. Especially after he reformed, he immediately got a chance to atone for his sins - to assist the righteous Phantom Thieves and trick the damn Black Mask. This act of atonement made him feel much more at ease.

Of course, the things that Okumura and his daughter talked about were all family matters, so Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Lian were not in a position to interrupt. Jiang Tianwei, who was listening on the side, only confirmed a few points.

The first is that Okumura Enterprises is going to undergo a complete restructuring and there may be layoffs.

This is easy to understand. The reason why Okumura Enterprises can employ so many employees is because of the "inhumane" work pressure.

If every employee is made to live like a person, then the various expenses of employees will increase and work efficiency will inevitably decrease. It is like working seven days a week and working overtime for four hours a day, which will definitely do much more work than working five days a week without overtime.

As for slacking off, a person who slacks off after working for seven days will also slack off after working for five days.

Although logically, there is an option to continue to recruit more employees to ensure efficiency and production capacity, but considering the current reputation of Okumura Foods and the decline in its stock price, I am afraid that Okumura Enterprises will be in a financially tight situation in the short term and will not be able to spend too much money to recruit people.

Secondly, Kunikazu Okumura is likely to step down.

This is easy to understand. To apply the theory of the famous Japanese drama "LEGAL-HIGH" (the official translation of "LEGAL-HIGH" is: The winner is justice), once the corporate image is damaged, the company will not be able to bear it.

The same goes for the Okumura Group. Now that Kunikazu Okumura has taken the initiative to admit that he "hired a killer to kill someone", it is basically impossible for him to continue to serve as a senior executive of the company.

Therefore, the company has been discussing internally, and everyone is thinking about whether to let Okumura Harukai be the next president. After all, Okumura Foods is a family business, passed down from great-grandfather to grandfather, grandfather to father, and father to daughter.

Fortunately, Okumura Haru is a "pure amateur" and a person without any stain.

By promoting her, firstly, it can redeem Kunikazu Okumura's bad name. Secondly, with the strange sensibility of the Japanese, someone in the company has already come up with the plot of "the innocent girl feels deeply responsible for her father's mistakes and is ready to atone for his sins". Thirdly... what does this little girl know about company operations? In the end, aren't we the old directors who are responsible for promoting various policies?

If there are problems, it will be the incompetence of the new president. If there are achievements, it will be the efforts of the old employees. It is not a loss anyway!

Then, it’s about the Okumura family’s affairs.

Even if Kuniwa Okumura could escape the death penalty for this crime, he would still be sentenced to prison. So, like an old father who was explaining his last wishes, he talked to Haru Okumura about many life experiences and family matters. At the same time, the old man would occasionally glance at Jiang Tianwei and Amamiya Ren.

This look seemed to have a hidden meaning, and it made the two people feel uneasy.

Before Jiang Tianwei could say anything, Fang Zexia suddenly blew a breath into his ear. Of course, she was a ghost, so the breath didn't reach his ear at all. Then he heard the ghost say faintly, "That's great. You've been spotted by a big entrepreneur again. You might as well become his son-in-law. From now on, I'll call you Okuhara Tianwei. What? Or do you like Kawamura Tianwei more?"

Jiang Tianwei cursed the little girl in his heart for being so suspicious. How could he have such thoughts now? ! Isn't it just a dream that he occasionally has at night? Now he has changed his mind and dreams about the president and the prosecutor sisters at night. Why are you still slandering people's innocence here? !

Besides, it was Kunikazu Okumura who was looking at me, not me who took the initiative to ask others to marry their daughter. What are you doing?

"Chun, you haven't introduced me yet. Who are these two people here?"

Although Kunikazu Okumura already had an idea in his mind, he still did what a normal person in society would do and asked someone to introduce him.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 670: President’s skills acquired!

People's emotions are always reflected in the smallest details. That's why there is a course called "Micro-expression Psychology", which talks about how to infer a person's thoughts and emotions from the smallest details.

Although Kunikazu Okumura is not a researcher in this field, he has been in the business world for many years and has the ability to read people's expressions. By looking at how his daughter introduced these two people, he can roughly guess her attitude towards them.

But, even so, Kuniwa Okumura still made a huge mistake. That is, he didn't expect that the first person to be introduced would be a big shot.

"Um... this person is the vice-captain of the Phantom Thieves."

Okumura Haru said this awkwardly, stammering and pointing at Jiang Tianwei.

Okumura Kunikazu felt as if a bolt of thunder had struck him from a clear sky, and it had hit him directly on the forehead.

Is it okay for the Phantom Thieves to say it so clearly? !

He looked at the guards behind him - yes, there were guards in the interview. To prevent the criminals from escaping. Although this behavior was inhumane, for the criminals, humanity or inhumanity was not so important.

The guard should have known the information a long time ago and was not surprised that Jiang Tianwei was a phantom thief.

Because the news was too shocking, Kunikazu Okumura even forgot to listen to his daughter's introduction of Amamiya Ren. Of course, Amamiya Ren was only introduced as a school friend because her true identity was not revealed.

It seems that Okumura Haru didn't dare to come to the police station alone - especially after knowing that there were many enemies here - so he found a helper.

Jiang Tianwei could see that there was something fishy going on between these two people: The reason was reasonable, but there were so many girls in the Phantom Thieves Group, why didn't you look for one instead of Amamiya Ren?

"I never thought that a Phantom Thief would come to our store. It really brings honor to our humble shop...ah, haha, I'm used to it."

Okumura Kunikazu instinctively said a series of words, but after he finished speaking he remembered that the other party was neither Pengbi Shenghui nor the place he was in was not the main store, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Well, I have something important to ask you."

Jiang Tianwei talked about his dream of opening a store, and then told him about Manager Liu.

Okumura Kunikazu showed a painful expression on his face: "Yeah, is that so... I did something irreversible. After we reformed, I realized how many people I had caused trouble for. I am really a big sinner..."

Okumura Kunikazu couldn't help but cover his face and cry. Having seen so many apology meetings of celebrities and politicians, Jiang Tianwei thought he was used to the tears of such old men, but it was still a bit uncomfortable to see him crying.

Perhaps this is the difference between true feelings and just trying to save reputation.

"I understand. Even if it's just to atone for my sin, I will give you some good suggestions on operations."

There were tears in the corners of Kunikazu Okumura's eyes, and he almost leaned on the glass to express his determination to Jiang Tianwei.

We have to admit that there is something about this guy Kuni Okumura.

He made a lot of very practical suggestions.

One thing to note here is that although everyone knows many things on the surface, the actual implementation is different.

I guess people who have just stepped into the society from students will feel this way, right? Many of the company's operating rules are actually different from what they seem.

This is why in the old days, people had to find a master to teach them how to do business. Because the things the master taught them were often problems that people would encounter in real life.

Kunikazu Okumura also provides advice on everything from how to obtain a business license to how to manage employees to the specific details of creating a new trademark from scratch.

Moreover, they are all feasible. There are many suggestions that Jiang Tianwei will be able to use soon.

For example, the celebrity effect.

There is a social experiment that shows that when there is no significant difference in price, people are more inclined to buy things they are familiar with. Therefore, various businesses are advertising desperately.

As for where the celebrities come from, Jiang Tianwei himself is a celebrity! He can advertise himself! Wouldn't it be perfect if he could eat something produced by his own family during a live broadcast one day?

Moreover, regarding the contradiction between the old man’s and Manager Liu’s taste, convenience and ingredients, Kunikazu Okumura also has his own opinion: Why don’t you just do them all?

Given the old man's health, it's not realistic for you to ask him to open ten stores and have him work in the kitchen every day.

Well, it's totally possible. The old man can open his own store and specialize in high-end and delicious top-notch cuisine. Manager Liu's portable fast food won't be a problem, right? It can also attract customers to the main store and promote the brand.

Considering the old man's health problems, he can also use hunger marketing. He can only receive a certain number of guests every day. In this way, the value can be increased invisibly. Humans always like rare things, even if the thing is not very competitive for them, they will tend to collect rare things.

As for the transportation lines and production factories, Kuniwa Okumura generously said that if Jiang Tianwei needed it, he could buy the ready-made ones from Okumura Foods. Of course, he could also refer to them and then build his own factory.
