He slept until the sun was high in the sky, and only when the sunlight shone on his face through the window did he rub his eyes and get out of bed.
He opened his eyes groggily, finding the room empty beside him. His aunt had already gone to work. He sat up, his first feeling being a terrible backache.
The two of them worked together until the early hours of the morning.
I don't know why my aunt can go to work with so much energy, while he stays here with a sore back and aching waist.
After changing my clothes, I came to the living room, but I didn't see Hua Fei.
He then went to the bathroom for a good shower; after all, he was a minotaur, and felt refreshed afterward.
He changed into a more casual suit, picked up the documents that Hua Fei had helped him organize last night, and went to Yamagishi Entertainment.
With the company now undergoing restructuring, as a director, he can no longer completely relinquish his responsibilities.
In the future, the expenses of the women around me will depend on Yamagishi Entertainment.
If he really goes bankrupt, he won't have the nerve to contact Yuzuriha Yu anymore.
Yamagishi Entertainment, located in a high-end office building not far from TV Tokyo, occupies three entire floors and has become a rising star in the film and television industry due to the recent success of several of its movies.
Shirakawa Natsu didn't intend to be too high-profile, so he simply had Kazama Rina come down and take him to his office.
When the innocent-looking school beauty came downstairs, she was clearly walking very fast and was slightly out of breath.
"Hi, you've had a tough three months." Shirakawa Natsu waved to her.
Rina Kazama's eyes reddened, and her fists clenched. They were in the lobby, so she didn't say anything, lowered her head, and turned to lead him into the elevator.
The two of them walked into the company together.
As they passed by, the employees bowed and greeted him: "Manager Kazama!"
At the same time, he sized up Shirakawa Natsu, the handsome young man who appeared next to the manager, wondering where this young actor had come from.
The two entered the president's office together.
"Are you angry?" Bai Chuanxia reached out and patted the school beauty's long legs in black stockings. She was still wearing a business suit today, and her face was still innocent, but her temperament was clearly moving towards that of a female CEO.
“No.” Kazama Rina sat in his lap, her head resting on his chest, sniffing him. “As long as you remember me, that’s enough.”
When she spoke, her eyes looked pitiful, like those of an abandoned puppy.
"Ahem." Bai Chuanxia coughed twice and patted her head: "Call the company's senior management over, I want to have a chat with them."
"Okay." Kazama Rina nodded, then naturally crawled under the desk.
"..." Shirakawa Natsumi's lips twitched. Let her be. No one would know if someone was hiding under such a huge office.
Soon, under Rina Kazama's arrangement, the company's senior executives came to Shirakawa Natsu's office one by one.
Shirakawa Natsumi was in the office, busy until the afternoon.
After meeting with the last senior executive of the company.
"Damn, these bastards." Shirakawa Natsu's smile finally crumbled, and she looked down at Kazama Rina, saying, "Give me a copy of their information: their mothers, wives, and daughters!"
"Huh?" Kazama Rina looked up, her expression puzzled.
"Never mind." Shirakawa Natsu waved her hand and leaned back in her office chair. "They're all cunning."
Only after actually getting to know them did I realize how difficult these people are to get along with.
Managing a company is not easy.
"I'm sorry." Kazama Rina looked apologetic. After Shirakawa Natsu became a hands-off manager, she had been managing most of the company's affairs.
“You’ve done very well.” Shirakawa Natsu shook her head.
The atmosphere was too heavy.
Neither of them did it in the end. Kazama Rina's eyes looked even more resentful, but she knew that the current atmosphere was not suitable for doing those things.
Shirakawa Natsu returned to Maki's house.
After a day of bombing, he lay down on the bed and covered his eyes with his arms.
The company's affairs were more difficult than he had imagined. He had absolutely no experience, and the difficulty of taking over a company far exceeded his expectations.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, followed by footsteps.
Shirakawa Natsu was too lazy to move and continued to lie down.
Suddenly something scalding hot was placed on his lips.
"Holy crap, what is that?!" Shirakawa Natsu suddenly opened her eyes and saw Hanahi sitting sideways on the edge of the bed, holding a bamboo skewer with small sausages on it, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Want some? It's a really delicious snack. I used to buy it after school when I was a kid." Hua Fei smiled and handed him the bamboo skewer.
"I'm not in the mood to eat right now." Shirakawa Natsu waved her hand, her mind preoccupied with company matters.
"No." Hua Fei forced the small sausage into his mouth again: "If you don't eat when you're upset, you'll only get more upset."
"You..." Shirakawa Natsu couldn't resist, so he sat up, took the bamboo skewer from her hand, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Not bad."
“Of course, I specifically went to the store outside my old school to buy it.” Hua Fei crossed her legs.
The two sat together and finished eating the grilled sausage.
"I don't know what's bothering you, but did you feel better after eating something delicious?" Hua Fei asked, tidying up the bamboo skewers.
“Hmm.” Shirakawa Natsu nodded: “The company’s affairs are more complicated than I imagined. I can’t figure it out at all by myself.”
"Hmph." Hua Fei chuckled, turned her head and looked at him: "You are not alone, you have me, you have your mother."
Shirakawa Natsumi was taken aback and blurted out, "You...you really consider me your father?"
Chapter 641 Subtle Emotions
"Oh~" Hua Fei's eyes were playful: "As a daughter, to have slept with your father, that's truly a grave sin~"
"Damn it." Shirakawa Natsu looked embarrassed. Was this something to talk about? Looking at Hanabi, she was completely bewildered. What was this guy trying to do?
Hua Fei reached out and pressed her hand on his forehead: "At that time, I was a woman, and you were a man. There's nothing to hide about what you did between a man and a woman."
Shirakawa Natsu was pinned to the bed by her hand, looking at Hanahi.
She is three years older than Shirakawa Natsu.
This is when a woman is at her most charming.
Shirakawa Natsumi was momentarily confused about what she was trying to say.
"Hmph." Hua Fei looked at his confused expression, snorted and smiled, "What we've experienced won't disappear, but we can't let the past affect our present. We both need to play our roles well now. I've done that with you before, but now I'm your stepdaughter. For my sake, for my mother's sake, be a good stepfather."
Shirakawa Natsu's expression was strange; he understood the meaning behind Hanahi's words.
It turns out that I hadn't let go of the past.
"Very good." Hua Fei released her hand and smiled. "Let's get along well, stepfather."
"Hmph...hmph." Shirakawa Natsumi gave an awkward laugh, glancing at Hanahi out of the corner of her eye, and tentatively asked, "You really don't mind?"
That's actually a pretty stupid question.
But he found it very subtle.
Hua Fei is definitely the kind of woman with a strong sense of self-respect and her own opinions; otherwise, she wouldn't have run away from home.
Now, if you ask her to call a boy younger than her "father," let alone her, no normal girl could stand it.
"Of course I mind." Hua Fei crossed her legs and spread her hands: "Why would I be happy to call someone younger than me 'Dad' when we're not in bed together?"
She looked at Shirakawa Natsu: "When I ran away from home back then, my mother didn't say anything, but I know she was very sad, and..."
Hua Fei's gaze towards Shirakawa Natsu became complicated: "I've been secretly watching over and protecting my mother. After you appeared, she completely changed. She started dressing up and smiling more. I don't want to take away my mother's happiness because of me anymore."
She stood up: "I don't think you'll be a good husband. I know you have other women, but even if I object, I can't guarantee Mom a happy life. So, be a good father."
"Hmm." Shirakawa Natsu's expression was complicated. This was the first time he had talked so much with Hanahi, and the first time he knew what she was thinking. "Then... a couple of days ago?"
Two days ago, Hua Fei went out with him, but things didn't quite match what she had told him.
"I want to try doing something 'like a date.'" Hua Fei waved her hand: "After all, you're my first man."
Shirakawa Natsu leans back.
"The answer is failure." Hua Fei looked down at him condescendingly: "As expected, you're really boring as a boyfriend."
Shirakawa Natsu felt humiliated, but couldn't refute it.
"Let me help you." Hua Fei casually picked up the documents he brought back: "Make more money so that Mom's life can be better in the future."
"Okay, thank you." Shirakawa Natsumi really needed her help.
The situation at Yamagishi Entertainment had him completely overwhelmed.
Hua Fei wasn't exaggerating; she has extensive experience in corporate management and can point out many problems just by looking at the data.
Shirakawa Natsumi remembered everything.
For the next week, Shirakawa Natsumi stayed at his aunt's house. He went to the company in the mornings to organize and arrange various business matters according to Hanahi's suggestions.
In the afternoon, I brought the materials back and studied them with Huafei.
He suggested that Hua Fei go to the company, but she refused.
According to her, now that she finally has some free time, she absolutely cannot fall into the same trap twice in her life.
Left with no other choice, Shirakawa Natsumi had to do it herself.
The good news is that even though Yamagishi Entertainment has separated from the Yamagishi Group, its status as a dominant force in the Tokyo underworld is no joke.
The company's executives could only fool him to the limit when he knew absolutely nothing about the business.
Shirakawa Natsu quickly took control of the company, and with Hana's help, purged some incompetent officials and soon united the group into a cohesive unit.
This took a whole month.
Shirakawa Natsu was lying in bed sleeping when he suddenly felt someone sitting next to him: "Hanahi, I want to sleep a little longer."
He had just finished speaking when he felt a slight itch in his nose.
"Hua Fei, stop fooling around."
He tried to slap her away, but his hand grasped her plump body.
The familiar touch sent a shiver through him, and he abruptly opened his eyes to see Ma Fei smiling, her hand holding his long hair and stroking his nose.
"Ah... Auntie, don't you have to go to work today?" A hint of embarrassment flashed in Shirakawa Natsu's eyes as she mistook Mahi for Hanahi.
"Hmph~" Ma Fei sat on the edge of the bed, her long legs crossed, her eyes reproachful: "I told you last week that I was on vacation these two days."
"Haha..." Shirakawa Natsu quickly got out of bed and hugged her aunt's slender waist: "We're going to have a lot of fun today!"
Ma Fei's eyes were playful: "But Hua Fei won't be angry, will she?"
"Ahem..." Shirakawa Natsu coughed awkwardly, "Hanahi is our daughter. She'll be very happy to see her parents getting along well."
Seeing his nervous expression, Ma Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, then reached out to pat his head: "Hurry up and get dressed, I'll wait for you outside."
"Phew..." Shirakawa Natsu watched the aunt leave, let out a long breath, and then shook her head.
Why would he be nervous?
This past month has been all about work with Hua Fei; there hasn't been a single practical action.
"Having done so many bad things in the past, it's become a conditioned reflex."
He got dressed and went out.
Seeing Ma Fei and Hua Fei standing together chatting and laughing, with the sunlight shining on their faces through the window, they looked stunning.
Shirakawa Natsu was stunned for a moment. The mother and daughter looked at least 80% alike, and when they stood together, there was a sense of time distortion.
"Xia." Ma Fei greeted him with a smile as she saw him come out, then looked at Hua Fei: "Really not coming along?"
"No, no, the mobile game I've been playing recently updated, and I don't want to be a third wheel." Hua Fei waved her hand and turned to walk towards the sofa.
Ma Fei looked helpless as she went out with Shirakawa Natsu.
The two strolled around like a couple. The aunt even tried on a swimsuit, and with her figure, Shirakawa Natsu stood up in the store.
I strolled around the mall.
The two stood in the boutique.
