Tokyo Soft Rice King

Chapter 182: The Value of the Purple Palace

However, Hei Yuming also knew that this method was very risky.

After all, just letting Zi Zhigong see the class monitor yesterday caused a local gravity distortion phenomenon... If I bring her to school, wouldn’t that be courting death?

However, Hei Yuming felt that the reason why Shizhimiya liked him so much was also related to the fact that she had cut off communication with girls of the same age.

Now, the Purple Palace was like it had no connection to the local area network, and there was no other way to find out what kind of people boys of the same age were like. This information was usually obtained through conversations with girls at school.

One of the reasons why Kuroba Akira wanted Tashiro Hongxiang to be Murasaki's agent was that he wanted Murasaki to have a close friend at home with whom she could talk about anything.

However, it now seems that this is impossible to achieve.

Because the personality of Hong Jie, a time traveler, is too different in age from that of Zi Zhigong, she acts more like an elder caring for the younger when interacting with Zi Zhigong. And Tashiro Hongxiang originally had a social anxiety disorder, so let alone having a heart-to-heart talk with Zi Zhigong, she hasn't even been able to talk to Zi Zhigong yet.

So in fact, Zi Zhigong is still in a situation where she lacks close friends.

So, is it possible... for Murasaki Nomiya and the three members of the literature club to become friends?

From a long-term perspective, Shirai Shiori will become a writer and Aiono Moeie will become an artist. These two circles actually belong to the same pan-entertainment circle as the voice actor circle where Murasaki Nomiya is.

Now, under the influence of Kuroba Akira, Murasaki has also started to like watching anime. Kuroba Akira also shows Murasaki all the novels and comics that he borrowed from the literature club, so she should now have common topics with Shiori and Moe.

Except for the class monitor... Kuroba Ming found it hard to imagine the class monitor and Murasakimiya getting along well.

For some reason, Zi Zhigong and the class monitor, even though it was their first meeting, were like natural enemies and didn't get along at all.

If only one of them unilaterally excluded the other, Kuroba Akira might be able to try to divert the conflict and help resolve the misunderstanding, but in reality, it seems that the class monitor and Murasaki Nomiya dislike each other.

Is it because the class monitor has such a strong aura? Or is it because Zi Zhigong is so beautiful?

In short, if you really want Zi Zhigong to integrate into the group of girlfriends in the Arts and Literature Department, you have to ask the opinion of the Minister of Arts and Literature Department.

So, Hei Yuming asked the squad leader tentatively.

"By the way, class monitor, can we invite people from outside the school to the cultural festival?"

"Yes, is there anyone Mingjun wants to invite?"

Hei Yuming scratched his cheek, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to take the risk and bring it up.

"Um... that's the one you met yesterday... the one from my host family..."

Hei Yuming was considering how to introduce Murasaki Nomiya's identity. Would it be better to let her pretend to be Grandma Kobayashi's granddaughter?

As a result, the monitor stretched out the tone as if he suddenly understood and asked back.

"Oh~ That refers to the doll you secretly kept, Mingjun?"

"..."

He actually called Zi Zhigong a "baby". For the squad leader, this was extremely offensive.

You know, Hei Yuming only heard the class monitor swear on the day he first met her. After that, he never heard her swear at all, and almost never even mocked her.

Therefore, this insulting nickname for Zi Zhigong is enough to show how much the class monitor hates Zi Zhigong.

If Zi Zhigong hates seeing other women getting along well with her because she likes me... then why does the squad leader hate Zi Zhigong?

Obviously, the class monitor doesn’t seem like the type to be jealous of others who are prettier than her...so why is that?

Although he didn't understand the reason, the squad leader's attitude still reminded Hei Yuming that he must not lie and make up a false identity for Zi Zhigong. Instead, he should tell the squad leader truthfully about Zi Zhigong's origins so that the squad leader would sympathize with her.

"I apologize to you on her behalf, squad leader. Don't take it too seriously. She's just been hurt before, so she's very repulsive to strangers..."

"Have you ever been hurt?"

Hooked!

Hei Yuming continued to explain while the iron was hot.

"Yes, she's also a temporary resident of that host family, just like me. But the difference is that I came to Beijing to study, but she had a conflict with her family and was kicked out by them, so she had nowhere to go, so she was temporarily taken in by the mother-in-law in the host family..."

Almost all of it was true, except that it omitted the fact that Kuroba Akira was the 'culprit' who brought Murasaki Nomiya back to the Kobayashi family.

Girls tend to have stronger empathy, so mentioning that Murasaki Palace is homeless should make the class monitor feel sorry for her.

However, the class monitor's reaction really left Hei Yuming a little confused.

She did not sympathize with Zi Zhigong's situation, but instead smiled happily and praised Hei Yuming.

"Is that so... Very good, very good, hehe~ I'm very satisfied with what you said, Mingjun?"

"Uh?"

"Because you, Mingjun, didn't lie to me. For example, she's actually the granddaughter of the host family's mother-in-law. Such a lame 'lie'."

"Haha, how dare I lie to you, class monitor..."

Hei Yuming smiled twice on the surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he did not lie. Otherwise, if his lies were exposed, the squad leader's trust in him would probably drop to the bottom.

"So, what's her name?"

"Purple Palace Ziyin."

When Anri Hitomi heard the name, she nodded her chin and looked thoughtful.

"Murasaki...what a rare surname. I wonder if it's related to Mr. Murasaki, whom I met when I was a child."

"Oh? Class monitor, do you also know the surname Zizhigong?"

Before, Grandma Kobayashi had heard the surname Murasaki Nomiya, and then she said that there was only one Murasaki Nomiya family living in Chiyoda Ward, and it should be very famous.

"Well, Mr. Murasakimiya Kazuhiro is a very famous entrepreneur in Tokyo. He built Japan's third-largest mobile communications operator from scratch... and most impressively, he has no family backing. He's a powerful entrepreneur who rose through the ranks during the Warring States period, when operators were vying for territory."

“It’s actually the operator…”

Hei Yuming is very clear about how terrifying monsters the operators who control communication network services are.

Take the familiar Chinese telecoms, mobiles and Unicoms for comparison, don’t you think they are awesome all of a sudden?

Even the weakest one among them, China Unicom, is still a super behemoth.

Although the operators of the island country cannot be compared with those of the mainland, after all, the population base is different, and the strength of the operating company depends on the number of users.

But even if it is only the third largest operator in the island country, it is still one of the three giants. The wealth accumulated by the founder, Murasakimiya Kazuhiro, must be an astronomical figure.

This stepfather's background is too great! The surname Zizhigong is incredible! Ziyin is not just an ordinary rich girl! She is a top-notch rich girl comparable to a certain young master surnamed Wang!

And judging from the previous phone call, Murasakimiya Kazuhiro really likes his new daughter Murasaki, so giving her a few hundred million yen as pocket money might be a piece of cake...

Purple Palace... Does Ziyin know that her current father is so rich?

If she knew... would she still try hard?

Chapter 183: The triangle is the most stable shape

"So you, Mingjun, didn't know anything?"

Anri Hitomi was a little surprised. She thought that Hei Yuming must know the origin of the surname Shizhimiya.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, it seems that he has hardly heard of "Anri", which shows that Hei Yuming is not interested in the people and factions behind the power.

"I do not know……"

Before this, Hei Yuming didn't even know what Uncle Shizhimiya's name was. It was only this time through the class monitor that he learned that Uncle Shizhimiya's name was Kazuhiro Shizhimiya, and he was the founder of the third largest operator.

After learning about the value of the surname Zizhigong, Hei Yuming suddenly thought of a possibility that was very scary but would be very satisfying if it came true.

I mean, hypothetically...

If I could find a way to repair the relationship between Ziyin and her family, let her and her mother reconcile, and then accept Ziyin's feelings and become the son-in-law of the Zizhigong family...

Can I lie down at the speed of light?

Isn't this much faster than training Murasakimiya to be a voice actor?

And the most important thing is... you don't have to endure so much hardship!

You can have sex right there! Have a good time! Get married with a baby!

With both money and beauty, you will be promoted to a winner in life!

However, this idea is not without risks. First of all, Ziyin is only a stepdaughter after all. Even if Uncle Zizhigong loves her very much, he may not inherit the company to her.

Of course, there should still be enough money left for my daughter to live comfortably for several lifetimes.

But Hei Yuming just wanted to lie down and relax. He was too lazy to manage the company and didn't know how to run an operator. So after becoming the son-in-law of the Shizumiya family, even if he failed to inherit the company, as long as he had enough money, he wouldn't feel bad even if he donated all the rest.

People should learn to be content with what they have…and be content and happy! But it would be best to save a little money…a few hundred million RMB wouldn't be too much, right?

Secondly, the marital status is not stable, and it is doubly unstable.

Grandma Kobayashi said that Uncle Shizumiya was an older bachelor before, and he suddenly married a divorced woman with children. He might regret it later.

If after marrying Ziyin, Zizhigong and her daughter were kicked out of the house, Hei Yuming would instantly return to the situation in his previous life.

And if Ziyin's female mine characteristic breaks out again at this time... the suffocating pressure from the middle-aged man will come upon her.

Another unstable point is that Ziyin has already ignited the fire called "dream" by herself. If she is asked to give up her dream and get married, will she be willing?

For those who are born rich, the most important thing is never money, but recognition and a sense of accomplishment.

This is like playing a game with a modifier on; it will become boring after a while. It is difficult for people to feel a sense of accomplishment if the wealth is not obtained through their own efforts.

Of course, Hei Yuming doesn't have this kind of psychological burden. If he doesn't want to spend money for free, he will be considered stupid.

However, despite various risks, Hei Yuming still thinks this path is a feasible option.

The prerequisite is that the family conflicts of the Zizhigong family can be successfully resolved.

However, if the family conflicts in the Zizhigong family were resolved, Ziyin would once again regain her family as her ultimate destination. After all, there is no better home than home.

By then, Hei Yuming will no longer be the only destination for Zizhigong Ziyin, and by then he will have no chance to become her son-in-law?

No, if I were to help her and her mother reconcile, she would definitely be more grateful to me...

But gratitude and love are still different...

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking so much. Anyway, if I can help resolve the conflict in the Zizhimiya family later, I’d better try my best to resolve it.

Hei Yuming temporarily gave up his dream of becoming a son-in-law of the Shizumiya family and returned to the topic with the class monitor.

"Speaking of which, Ziyin and your childhood friend, Xiyuanji, went to the same school. I remember her name was Bai Baihe or something?"

"Makoto is in the senior department of Bai Baihe Academy."

"Yes, that's the girls' school. But as I said, she's dropped out now because of family reasons... So I thought, she didn't even have the chance to experience the high school cultural festival, so I wanted to help her fill that regret."

Hei Yuming continued to play the sympathy card, trying to arouse the class monitor's sympathy for Zi Zhigong as much as possible.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, Mingjun. You're not asking me if we can invite people from outside the school to the cultural festival, but if I can take care of your 'roommate' during the cultural festival, right?"

"Haha... You've seen through me. I was thinking that if you, squad leader, don't agree, I'll use the one-day usage rights..."

Anri Hitomi pouted and complained in dissatisfaction.

"Really, wise lord, don't use your one-day usage right for such a 'trivial matter'!"

"Since you, the class monitor, said it's a small matter, could you please take her around the cultural festival? Shion doesn't have any same-sex friends of the same age..."

"If you, Mingjun, want me to get along well with her, I will do as you wish."

"Really? Thank you so much, squad leader! I knew you were the best!"

As expected, he has to be the squad leader! So reliable!

Hei Yuming believed that with the class monitor's strong social skills, she would definitely be able to become friends with Murasakimiya as long as she was willing.

This way, when these two people meet in the future, there shouldn't be a terrifying gravitational field formed.

Now the potential crisis of the Shura Field can be nipped in the bud... huh~

Hei Yuming breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was a little further away from the landmine explosion.

"Hehe...as long as you are happy."

Anri Hitomi gave a meaningful smile.

Am I the best? But actually, I am doing this for myself, Mingjun… She secretly said in her heart.

Asato Hitomi could guess the reason why Kuroba Akira came to ask for help from her. It was probably because he felt that Murasaki Shion lacked "friendship", so he only focused on "love".
