Xiaoya, who was already attentive to listen to this, suddenly felt her heart fall into the ice hole, and a chill surged from the bottom of her heart, and she bit her lips.

At the same time, Qing Zhilang's chopsticks fell on the plate. He picked up the napkin, pressed it on his mouth, and looked up at his father. Not only did he hear his father's intention, but he also planned to resist stubbornly. He said word by word: Dad, I just want to marry Xiaoya. Except for her, I don't want to marry anyone. If it weren't for her, I could accept your arrangements, and I believe that what you arranged for me would not be too bad. But now it's different, really. If you must accept the kind of marriage you mentioned, I would rather put aside everything now and continue to live our ordinary life with Xiaoya.

Mrs. Katayama, who had never made any noise, interrupted at this time: Alang, your father didn't mean that, don't look like he was going to die.

Lao Tanshan looked at the youngest son he loved, and suddenly a warm feeling surged into his heart, because he had known his son would have such a reaction. Once this child who usually obeyed everywhere made a decision, no one could get him back. Moreover, what could this be the reason? Isn’t this the self when he was young!

So he decided to let Qing Zhilang put down his burden as soon as possible, because he saw that the child's face had turned red.

Alang, listen to me, no matter what, you have to admit that the sentence I just said is not a problem in terms of that sentence itself, right?

Qing Zhilang nodded silently.

Then you also clearly expressed your attitude, no matter what, you must be with this Miss Wu, right? Then, this means that you are unwilling to be the person I want you to be, right? Because you are reluctant to give up Miss Wu, right? If you can't become that person, I can't hand over the family affairs to you, can you understand?

Only then did Kiyoshiro realize that his father did not intend to oppose him being with Xiaoya, but just let him make a choice, but he still couldn't understand why he could not inherit the family business if he was with Xiaoya, and he could not realize the ideal that he had always cared for to further expand Sakurai.

Lao Tanshan saw the confusion in his son's eyes, so he gave three reasons, which made Kiyoshi Chi-lang feel that it was reasonable to ask him to make this choice.

Child, you have to know: First, when you say you are willing to put aside everything for Miss Wu, have you ever considered that for me, I also need to hand over the family affairs to someone who can abandon everything for this, but you are obviously not.

Second, since you like this Miss Wu so much, you must spend a lot of time with her. Don’t worry, this is what you should do. Men should spend more time with their women instead of fooling around outside. There are too many things in the company and it is too messy, and it is difficult for you to take care of both.

Third, I might as well tell you clearly that there are indeed several very important partners who have expressed their wish to introduce my daughter to you. Although I really hope to become a family with one of them and strengthen my strength, I will tell them tomorrow, thank them for their kindness. Qing Zhilang already has a fiancée. Do you think this is OK?

Qing Zhilang's eyes were a little wet and he said softly: Sorry, Dad!

Xiaoya was already in tears. She fully understood that this well-known Osaka entrepreneur actually supported Kiyoshiro and her with her heart. Not only did she simply agree, but more importantly, she also understood the sacrifices and concessions made by her parents for this. This reminded her of her father who died early. When she wanted to marry Hu Jing, she was so patient and so calm, but she couldn't refuse.

Many parents always complain that they cannot get their children's understanding, mainly because they cannot let their children understand what kind of sacrifices and concessions their parents have made.

Lao Tanyama grabbed the youngest son's hand with a kind smile on his face and said: Don't say sorry, because for your mother and you, the most gratifying thing for you to live happily is what I want to be pleased with. Now, can you tell me whether you accept such an arrangement? At the board meeting at the end of the year, I will resign as chairman of the board and hand it over to Mitsuo to take over. All my shares in Sakurai, except for the part that is necessary for your life security, will also be transferred to his name, and he will be responsible for all major affairs in the future of the company.

Qing Zhilang said solemnly: I accept it.

Lao Tanshan said: I didn’t call Mitsuno to come tonight because of my bias, and I want you to make this choice. Now, you won’t blame me, right?

Qing Zhilang shook his head desperately: No, really, it’s my fault that I have disappointed you!

Mrs. Katayama suddenly smiled: Silly kid, how can you be disappointed? As you say, if you want to not let us down, then Miss Wu will be so disappointed!

Xiaoya was very happy. In fact, whether Qing Zhilang inherited the family business was really not important to her, because just 48 hours ago, she always thought that her boyfriend was just an ordinary Japanese boy.

What’s important is that with Mr. Katayama’s words, it means that she and Kiyoshiro can really be together forever. In the past 23 years, she has lost too many things, relatives, lovers, family, friends, and now, all of this will slowly be re-owned. What an exciting thing is that.

After dinner, the Tamayama couple sent Xiaoya and Kiyoshiro to the door. The Tamayama solemnly said to Kiyoshiro: If you want, stay by the side of Mitsuno and assist your brother well, he needs you!

Qing Zhilang said: I can, don’t worry!

Lao Baanshan turned around and said to Xiaoya: Even if we have met today, it’s great. I’m very happy. I hope you will be happy in the future!

The last sentence was said by Lao Kazuyama in Chinese that he was no longer very skilled, but Xiaoya still clearly understood what he meant.

The family passed this level smoothly, and Xiaoya and Qing Zhilang's future was smooth.

However, Xiaoya was still happy, and she still felt a little confused. She said to Qing Zhilang: I'm sorry, because I can't inherit the family business anymore. I feel very guilty. It's me who dragged you down.

Kiyoshiro squeezed his eyes at her: Stupid, do you think I was impulsive? I know my father wanted me to take over his job. At first I had this idea and was willing to give everything for my career. But after I met you, I felt that life and family were more important. Even if I don’t become Sakurai’s heir, we will have no worries about food and clothing. Why bother to give up our happiness for the lofty position?

Would you be unwilling to give it to your brother like this?

Qing Zhilang smiled very happily, which was a kind of relief from the bottom of his heart: How could it be? That was my biological brother!

Only then did Xiaoya realize that the one who replaced Qing Zhilang as the heir was not an outsider, nor a competitor, but a closest relative who kept the same blood. She suddenly understood something and asked: Did you want the chairman of the board of directors to be a member of Guangnan? Seeing that you said so firmly to your father, I thought you made so much sacrifice for me! Tell!

Qing Zhilang said: If your brother meets a good woman like you, I would probably tell my father early, let Qing Zhilang take your seat and I will be his deputy. So, why isn’t this for you? Haha!

Xiaoya couldn't help but smile.

Later she told Feng Ru about this and asked Feng Ru: Do you think Qing Zhilang did this right? Feng Ru curled her lips: Of course, nothing is as important as being happy with her own.

On New Year's Day in 2013, Shintaro Tachiyama officially stepped down as chairman of the board of directors of Sakurai Consortium. He was replaced by his eldest son Tachiyama Mitsuo, 35 years old, and continued to hold 57% of the shares of the Tachiyama family.

In April 2013, Kiyoshi Katayama graduated with a master's degree and entered Sakurai. After soliciting the advice of Lao Tanyama, he did not serve as the company's CEO. This position was short of a while since Mitsuno served as chairman of the board of directors. Recently, he appointed a German who had been an executive in Siemens. Mitsuno hoped to use him to improve the internationalization level of the entire execution level, because family-style management will one day give way to the manager system of a more dynamic modern enterprise. This Link will also be responsible for expanding the Chinese market, while Kiyoshi Katayama served as his assistant.

At the end of 2oo3, at the board meeting, Link proposed that investment in China should be tripled within two years, no longer stick to the original equipment manufacturing, production and sales of building materials, and strive to invest in China's real estate companies, and focus their funds on China's real estate. In addition, for China's large-scale infrastructure construction, all projects with bidding should be participated as much as possible, etc., and the board of directors approved it.

In February 2004, Sakurai China Co., Ltd. moved back to Shanghai from Guangzhou. At the suggestion of Link, Mitsuo made large-scale adjustments to the senior management of the Chinese branch. Kiyoshiro, who was under 28 years old, stepped on the front desk and served as the CEO of the Chinese branch. He directly reported major matters to Link and Mitsuo.
