"Right, why are you working as a maid here?" Boss Huang felt quite good about Natsumi Wenna now. She was a smart woman, and it was a shame she was working as a maid.
"Ah... my grandmother was a maid here, my mother was also a maid here, so naturally I am also a maid here!" Natsumi Wenna was stunned by the question, then answered with a smile.
Natsumi Wenna felt her answer was perfectly fine, because her grandmother and mother had indeed lived like maids in their own homes, dedicating their lives to the family without ever fighting for anything for themselves.
Of course, if you were to say that she could enjoy the luxurious life brought by the Natsumi family... in Natsumi Wenna's opinion, this was normal life, not luxury at all. In her eyes, there was only spiritual emptiness.
"You need some change!"
Boss Huang patted Natsumi Wenna's shoulder and then said, "I think you are a talent. If you are willing, you can come work in my company. I am in great need of talent right now, and you are welcome to join!"
Boss Huang was actually just musing and said it casually, but Natsumi Wenna was completely stunned by his words. By the time she reacted, Boss Huang had already left.
Then Natsumi Wenna very firmly told her father that she was going to resign from the company and go to work at Jiangnan Group.
"..." It was imaginable how shocked Natsumi Zujian's expression would be when he heard this news from his daughter's mouth.
He hadn't managed to get his hands on Huang He, but now it seemed like he was giving his daughter away. Just as Natsumi Zujian was pondering how to dissuade his daughter from this absurd idea, a mysterious phone call suddenly came through. Natsumi Zujian's expression changed instantly upon seeing the call, and he ordered his daughter to stay at home and talk later before rushing to a mysterious location.
When Natsumi Zujian arrived, he found that the bright conference room was already full of people... Full did not mean the room was packed, but rather that out of the seven chairs in the room, six were occupied, leaving only his seventh seat.
"It's not a meeting day today, why has a meeting been convened so hastily?" Natsumi Zujian asked, frowning. He had received this meeting invitation at the last minute and was very confused, so he said to the six people in front of him.
"Natsumi-kun, I heard you have reached a cooperation with that Chinese person, is that correct?" the person sitting at the head of the table asked. Upon hearing this, Natsumi Zujian quickly put away his displeased expression and replied with a somewhat respectful tone, "Yes, I have agreed to cooperate with him. Is there any problem with that?"
"No, I didn't say there was a problem. On the contrary, Natsumi-kun, you have done very well. This is a good start! It is even the beginning of the great resurgence of our glorious Fusang d-nation," the leader said, his tone filled with fanaticism.
"What?" Natsumi Zujian was startled by these words. He hesitated for a moment and said, "This is just an ordinary cooperation, it shouldn't be to this extent!"
"No, you don't understand how great this Chinese person's ambition is, and how many chess pieces he has placed in our country!" As the leader finished speaking, attendants placed documents on the table one by one. Natsumi Zujian glanced at them and saw that they were all the companies acquired by Boss Huang.
Although Boss Huang had been very careful to acquire these companies through various aliases, all these companies, without exception, appeared on the list. All of Boss Huang's actions were exposed to these seven people in less than three days.
"He wants to control our country's cultural industry? What a brazen move!" Natsumi Zujian couldn't help but break out in a sweat. Although he believed that Boss Huang's ambition could not be realized with only these insignificant companies, his ambition was clearly revealed through these enterprises.
"Should we stop this?" another person attending the meeting asked.
"Why should we stop it?" the leader retorted. "How long have we waited for China to finally have such a person? On the contrary, we not only shouldn't stop him, but we should push him. Otherwise, does he really think he can smoothly acquire so many companies without anyone stopping him?"
"So, this is the target you have chosen?" another person said.
"No, he is not the target I have chosen, but China behind him is our target. Only he and China behind him can help us achieve the goals of our Yamato Association and allow our country to return to being a normal country!" the leader said with a smile.
"A normal country!" Hearing these five words, everyone present clenched their fists, and a surge of passion rose in their hearts.
These seven people could be considered the cream of the crop among Fusang's elites. Each of them controlled an unimaginably vast power in Fusang. The fact that these seven people gathered to form this mysterious Yamato Association naturally had their unspeakable purposes.
Of course, in the eyes of these people, their purpose was a great and noble ideal, which was to allow their country to regain its status as a normal country.
After all, decades ago, after their defeat, they were no longer a normal country, but the dogs of certain other countries.
And most of Fusang had grown accustomed to being dogs. Only a minority, like the seven of them, still harbored the ideal of returning to being human. Therefore, in a sense, the Yamato Association could be considered the conscience of the Fusang people.
"Sanlang, do you already have a plan?" the only woman present asked. However, this woman was not beautiful, nor was she ugly; she looked ordinary.
But for a woman to be among these seven people, she was clearly not ordinary.
"That's right. I've always had a vague idea in my heart, and now this idea has finally become clear." The leader paused and then said, "There is a Chinese saying: 'raise a bandit to make yourself important.' Do you all know about it?"
"..." The people present remained silent. They were not stupid, and upon hearing the four words "raise a bandit to make yourself important," they had already vaguely grasped the leader's idea.
"Sanlang, are you perhaps planning to secretly promote China's development, so that China can rise rapidly, and then the US will release our leash, and let us dogs tear at China?" the woman said gravely.
"Although it sounds unpleasant, it is indeed so!" The leader nodded. "The United States, in order to maintain its overall dollar situation, must defeat all opponents who dare to challenge it. And if this opponent is too powerful, and they themselves are too far away to intervene, and dare not resort to force, then letting dogs bite each other while they sit on the sidelines and watch the conflict is the best choice."
"But a dog that is locked in a cage and muzzled cannot bite anyone. So, even if unwilling, the United States will eventually have to open the cage and loosen the leash to allow this dog to fully exert its combat effectiveness."
"Moreover, once this person and dog start fighting, it will inevitably be a situation where both sides are injured. Isn't it wonderful for the United States to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight!" the leader said.
"Truly despicable!" the woman snorted, it was unclear whether she was referring to the United States as despicable or to their own role as a dog as too despicable.
"Endure hardship to become a superior person. Moreover, we have been dogs for decades. Being dogs for another decade or so is not a big deal!" the leader sighed. "I'm just afraid that person is not yet standing tall enough, does not have enough boldness, and their fists are not strong enough to make the dog owner fear, and thus unlock the dog chain tied around the dog's neck!"
"So you want to support that Huang He?" Natsumi Zujian frowned. "But he is just one person. Even if he is powerful, what can he do!"
"He just needs to appear strong enough!" the leader said with a smile. "If we truly feed that giant enough to be strong, and the dog bites, the dog will inevitably be the one to die."
"So it's best if this giant is all bark and no bite, just looks intimidating. Then choosing one to support is the final option!"
"Moreover, this Huang He is, after all, a private enterprise. Once it grows big..."
"Brilliant! Truly brilliant!" Everyone present sighed with admiration. They deserved to be the leaders who could gather everyone present to establish the Yamato Association. This skill and ability were indeed top-notch. They had not followed the wrong person.
"Natsumi-kun, since this Huang He is currently cooperating with you, but you are the strength of our Yamato Association, it must be exercised through you!" the leader said.
"Alright!" Natsumi Zujian nodded. Since the strategy was clear, he would do whatever it took willingly.
"Good. In fact, there's no need to do anything that would attract too much attention. You just need to help him manage that Hua Huang Shang well and help him sell it in all countries!" the leader said with a smile.
"As for those of you present, if you don't encounter it in daily life, it's fine. But if you ever encounter business with that guy, be accommodating if you can, and help secretly if you can. I really want to know, after waiting for more than a decade, when the world's richest man and the number one in the Fortune 500 are both Chinese, will the United States still be able to sit still!"
"Hahahahaha!"
At this moment, Boss Huang didn't know that he had gained the support of a powerful ally without his knowledge. This force was even determined to help Boss Huang ascend to the throne of the world's richest man. He just wanted to go home quickly.
He had been in Fusang for over a month, and the bland Japanese food was making his mouth feel like it was growing hair.
