Tokyo's most affectionate

"I haven't been here, but I have traveled to Hokkaido and Kagoshima."

Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head slightly and looked at the road outside the car.

Just got off the highway, the current scenery doesn't look much different from other places.

"You don't want to go to the nearby places, but only go to the far ones?"

When he heard where she had been, Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised.

These two places are both in the corners of Neon. Why did she run so far?

"It was a family trip. My parents took me there."

Ninomiya Chizuru sensed what he was thinking through his eyes and explained.

"Parents? How is your relationship with your parents?"

When this topic was mentioned, Kurosawa Mitsuru took the opportunity to ask.

Come to think of it, he knew very little about Miss Ninomiya because he had never had the chance before.

But nowadays it’s different. If two people want to have a better relationship, understanding each other is the most important step.

"Normal, huh?"

"What does normal mean?"

"I can't say it's good or bad, because they are very busy, but they also keep me very strict."

"You've been graduated for so long, I think they should just ignore you, right?"

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that she had been strictly controlled in the past, but that was in the past and she had graduated from college now.

"Since we no longer live together, they can't control us too much, but they have always asked me not to be a teacher."

Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head and looked out the window.

"Why did you stop being a teacher?"

Unable to see her eyes, Kurosawa Hikaru had no idea what her expression was. Although he felt that this topic was a bit heavy, he had already started talking about it, so he had to continue.

"My parents both work at Nine Leaf Bank. They are both senior executives, or bankers."

"Jiuye Bank, the third-ranked bank in Neon?"

When he heard about this work unit, Kurosawa Hikaru had an impression. As a student of economics, it would be bad for him not to know this.

"Yes." Ninomiya Chizuru turned around and nodded.

"Your family conditions are pretty good then."

Kurosawa Hikaru compared his family and found a huge gap.

Although it is not known whether the executives of large banks are at the head office or branches, they have basically bid farewell to the working class and can make money easily.

Having said that, he had no complaints about his family circumstances.

After all, he had been very smart since he was young, and his parents were very proud of him and treated him very well.

"I don't know if it's good or not... They don't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but they are more profit-driven and look down on all kinds of things."

Ninomiya Chizuru's expression was calm when she talked about her parents.

"Like a piano?"

"Did Runa tell you?"

Finding out that he knew all this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at him in surprise, and then felt relieved.

In fact, she had noticed before that Runa had been trying to bring them together.

"She just told me that your previous dream was to be a pianist, and then I found out that you only knew about the piano but didn't seem to be able to play it, so I guessed it."

Kurosawa Hikaru did not deny it and explained.

"They didn't let me learn to play the piano, thinking it was meaningless. They just told me to study hard from a young age and to get into the economics department of the University of Tokyo so that I could take their job."

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and did not hide it.

Japan's social system is very special, and jobs are usually lifelong.

Students who are admitted to the University of Tokyo will have a bright future in society after graduation.

Because as long as you go to a place where there are Tokyo University students, seniors will take care of you. It is the friendship of alumni and also a system of rules.

You help me, I help you, and through mutual help and mutual benefit, the status of Dongda students in society is constantly improving.

“Do you like being a teacher?”

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't ask her why she didn't take over, because the answer was probably guessed.

Perhaps if you take over your parents' executive position, you can live a smooth life... but if you completely obey your parents' arrangements, this kind of life will not be free.

"Like it."

Ninomiya Chizuru was stunned when she heard this, then looked at him and spoke after thinking for a while.

To say that she really wants to be a teacher is not the right thing to do. After all, this has not been her goal or ideal since childhood.

All I can say is that it was during her college years that she discovered that being a teacher at the University of Tokyo would be a way to get rid of her parents' control, and she made up her mind to do it.

In fact, it was very hard to be a teacher at the University of Tokyo, because she was young and beautiful, and she was a female teacher. During her teaching period, there were a lot of rumors and prejudices.

Having said that, her staying on campus wasn't all bad, such as meeting Kurosawa Hikaru.

If she had not been a university teacher, but had listened to her parents and become a banker, she would never have met Kurosawa Hikaru, and they would not have gone on a road trip to Nagano Prefecture like today.

"That's good."

Kurosawa Hikaru realized that she liked him and felt relieved.

"What would you do if I said I didn't like it?"

Seeing his reaction, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly became a little curious.

"I can teach you to play the piano. It's not too late to pursue your dreams now."

Kurosawa Hikaru feels that everyone has the right to pursue their dreams, and what's more, she doesn't need to worry about money at all now.

After all, she is a wealthy woman who can directly take out 100 million as start-up capital.

"If I didn't become a teacher, my parents would definitely ask me to take over. They don't care about dreams or not."

Hearing this proposal, Ninomiya Chizuru was a little tempted, but still shook her head.

"Is it impossible now?"

Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised. Do all rich people have such a strong desire to control their children?

"It's not that it's impossible, but it needs actual results to support it... If Lingshi Law Firm is fully developed and can prove that I have strong investment capabilities, I may be able to start my own business."

Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it seriously, and suddenly thought of a possibility, looking at him with shining eyes.

It was difficult for her to do so before, because the results her parents required were not easy, but it may be possible now... With her initial piano level, it is only a matter of time before she can lead the firm to success.

If she didn't have to be a teacher, she wouldn't have to wait until he graduated.

Chapter 170 Two and a Half Years

At this moment, even Chizuru Ninomiya, who was calm, mature, and steady, and never showed any emotion, could not contain her excitement.

Not only because she can do what she wants, but also because she doesn't have to wait so long.

Under normal circumstances, she would have to wait at least two and a half years for Kurosawa Hikaru to graduate from the University of Tokyo.

"How big does it have to be to fully grow?"

Seeing her eyes shining, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised and asked.

It seems that his words just now inadvertently triggered Miss Ninomiya's switch.

"If I want them to ignore me, I just need to make more money than them."

“What is your parents’ annual salary?”

It was the first time that Kurosawa Hikaru saw her so energetic, and he was curious.

"Bankers don't look at annual salaries. They rely mainly on investments, dividends, and various consulting commissions. Their total income last year was 8 billion. According to the 30% equity, if the turnover of Zero Hour Office depends entirely on you, our annual profit will only be 26 billion yen..."

Ninomiya Chizuru thought about this problem for a while, and her fiery heart gradually cooled down, and her somewhat excited expression also calmed down.

It is not so easy to achieve a profit of 26 billion.

I'm afraid that by the time Lingshi Office reached this level, two and a half years had passed.

You know, if Kurosawa Hikaru alone earns 26 billion, he is already on the same level as the top of the world music scene.

Even though Kurosawa Hikaru's piano skills and talent were the best she had ever seen, and he could even sing, he was just starting out, and it would be impossible for him to reach the pinnacle of the music industry without five to ten years.

"Eight billion?"

When Kurosawa Hikaru learned about her parents' annual income, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Although he could feel that Miss Ninomiya's parents were executives and bankers at Neon Third Bank and were definitely very rich.

But I never expected it to be this high.

No wonder her parents didn't let her learn the piano...how much money can you make from playing the piano?

You know, the highest-earning pianist only has an annual income of 3 billion.

Even someone as strong as Ms. Runa and Japan's top superstar, Rikka Fujiwara, who was trained by Phantom Star Agency, only has an annual income of tens of billions.

To be honest, although Japan's entertainment industry has a large market size, in terms of money making and status, it really cannot compare with Europe and the United States, or the place where he lived in his previous life.

After all, he had seen too many sky-high paychecks in his previous life... For example, 1 Shuang equals 1.6 million, which is the income for more than two months, and the daily income is as high as 208 million. If converted into Japanese yen, it means that he can earn more than million yen every day, and the annual income is as high as billion.

"They are all graduates of the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo. They have solid theoretical knowledge, good venture capital vision, extensive personal connections, and intelligence networks. After nearly 30 years of operation, they have been snowballing and have long achieved financial freedom. They are still working as senior executives in banks for their personal connections, to be at the forefront of venture capital, and to wait for me to take over."

Ninomiya Chizuru's heart cooled down, and she suppressed the thought and impulse of quitting her job as a teacher.

In fact, when she was in college, she had thought about escaping their control and gossip by making more money than them.

However, she is very outstanding, and so are her parents, who even entered the financial industry more than 20 years earlier than her.

After leading for nearly thirty years, it is not easy for her to catch up.

Over the years, she has made a lot of money through various venture capital and stock speculation, but this is not enough.

Even though she was a teacher at the University of Tokyo, a position with a very high social status, her parents would often ask her to stop being a teacher and to start working at Jiuye Bank as soon as possible.

If she had any other job or identity, she would probably have been forced by her parents to become a banker long ago.

"Actually, you calculated it wrong... Even if you can't surpass your parents, it would be fine if your annual income could reach over 1 billion."

Seeing that she was discouraged and no longer passionate, Kurosawa Hikaru comforted her.

Maybe you can't compare to your parents, but your annual income is as high as 10 billion. That can't be said to be a failure, right?

"With an annual income of 1 billion, the firm's annual profit must be more than 3 billion."

"It's difficult to achieve an annual profit of 26 billion, but 3 billion is not impossible."

Kurosawa Hikaru felt that with his piano skills, the world-famous piano pieces from his previous life, and the support of Miss Runa, it was absolutely possible to achieve this level in this era of explosive traffic.

Moreover, his current main focus is piano. Piano has no borders, and it is very likely that he can break out of Japan and enter the European and American markets and directly earn US dollars.

"I know that with your talent and Runa's packaging, this is bound to happen sooner or later... Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

Hearing this comfort, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, then took a deep breath, waved her hands, sent the hair that fell in front of her body behind her, and regained her composure.

In fact, she is very optimistic about the prospects and growth potential of Zero Hour Agency. Even if it cannot become the industry leader, it is definitely possible for it to become a top firm.

Especially after Kurosawa Hikaru became famous on the Internet with his song "Croatian Rhapsody", this speculation was further strengthened.

It is only a matter of time before Lingshi Firm's annual profit increases.

But this is a matter for the future, not now, nor in the near future. It will take a long time to bear fruit.

By the time their company becomes successful, Kurosawa Hikaru should have graduated.

Before that, they are still in a teacher-student relationship, and only time can change that.
