"Hey, mom, can't you let her explain it to you?" Yagyu Moto and I walked over reluctantly.

"You are my son, now I want to hear you!" Masako Minamida is not a fool. This lady with a certificate from the Provincial Culture, looks like an elite white-collar worker. How can she be easier to deal with than her son?

"This--" Yayoi Moto and his slightest look at Miss Takahashi Hiromi, who looked a little embarrassed, was this elder sister. She just swears to help him solve this family problem, why did they have to face the terrifying mother by themselves in a blink of an eye?

Hiromi Takahashi was also very embarrassed. When she was downstairs, she said she wanted to help the boss settle this matter, but now, the boss's mother doesn't give her a chance to speak at all! She reluctantly said, "Hello, auntie, I can explain this matter clearly for you."

"I want to listen to my son!" Masako Nanda looked at the white-collar woman in a professional dress with dissatisfaction. She was talking to her son, so why did she come out to make a fuss?

Well, Yayoi Motohe looked at his mother's face that looked a little unhappy. Due to more than ten years of power, he had to give up his head and honestly.

"I joined the Swordsman."

"What then?" Masako Minamida was dissatisfied with her son with one sentence. You joined a bad group that sounded like a gangster organization, and then it ended? Isn't explaining the cause and effect?

"I received the 'national first-level allowance' and I was given a personal assistant." Yagyu Motoka used his head to Hiromi Takahashi, signaling that this was his personal assistant.

"What is the 'national first-level allowance'?" Although Masako Minamida said it once just now, she didn't take this sentence seriously. Maybe it was a word that sounds similar? Don't you know how capable her son is? Only a kendo is pretty good, and of course she is good at studying, but this 'good' is so different from the 'national first-level allowance'.

"It is the same national allowance as the 'RB Engineering Association Academician'." Takahashi Hiromi explained on the side.

Academicians of the RB Engineering Association are roughly equivalent to academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and are the highest honor in the RB scientific community. Of course, there is a higher level of "national special allowance", but that is reserved for special circumstances such as Nobel Prize winners, special combat heroes, etc. Under normal circumstances, the "national first allowance" is the highest honor of RB.

"Is this true?" Mom glanced at Hiromi Takahashi who interrupted and confirmed to Yagyu Motoka.

"Um."

"Really?" Masako Minamida still couldn't believe it. It was just like a strong puppy growing in her own doghouse. It would be very surprising if a tiger grew. If a Tyrannosaurus Rex grew and it jumped out of thin air without any signs, it would be frightened.

My son didn't even have any signs, so he brought a beautiful assistant home out of thin air, and he kept saying that he had obtained a "national first-level allowance". Who can trust him? You must know that this is a "national first-level allowance". Every recipient is not from a crack in the stone. There must be a growth process, right?

Others, Masako Minamida, didn't know, but her son has been under his nose for more than ten years. How many bowls of rice can he eat, don't he know?

Of course, my son has been very hard at training these days, and he also sees it. But if you rely on more than two months of exercise, you can get back with a "national first-level allowance". How many athletes in RB want to cry and faint in the toilet?

"Mom, wait, I'll get some things for you to show." Since I've honestly explained, Yayoi Motoka has nothing to keep secrets. He didn't know that other members in the Jianhao Society would keep their identities confidential to their families, but Yayoi Motoka had to hide them from their parents, after all, their parents are the people they trust the most.

If you don’t ask, it’s fine. Since my mother has asked this, it doesn’t make any sense to keep it confidential.

Looking through the pile of things that Yayoi Moto and the treasure-giving, Masako Minamida finally realized that her son seemed, perhaps, perhaps, to really become a ‘national first-level allowance’ recipient.

"Let me be quiet-" Sadness and grief can make people need to be quiet, but excessive surprises can achieve the same effect.

Now, Masako Minamida feels that she is just like dreaming. She is already very satisfied with her current life, a husband who loves herself (starting from scratch, capable and obedient), two great sons (maybe one is not that great), and even a little bit of a shortcoming because she lacks a daughter, which is also filled by her lovely daughter-in-law.

It can be said that as a woman, Masako Minamida has no regrets except that she has not seen her grandson yet.

The son suddenly brought her such a big surprise, which could almost be called a shock. If she hadn't been in her thirties now, she would have been young and strong and healthy, and would have been afraid that she would have had a heart attack this time.

"The main difficulties we are facing now are the overall shrinking of the market and the stronger competitors. Moreover, with the advancement of technology, the leading advantage of our product line has become less and less obvious. Is there anything that the R&D department needs to say about these?" Yagyu and Shima sat in the company's conference room, watching their subordinates, worried about the current declining performance of the Purification Water Company.

Speaking of which, he has been in the company for almost eleven years, and it has condensed most of his efforts in the first half of his life. The company was developing very well, but since the second half of last year, the tap water purification technology in Tokyo has made breakthroughs and began to provide direct drinking tap water to some parts of Tokyo like the United States. With the transformation of tap water supply facilities, the scope of direct drinking tap water supply is rapidly expanding.

This is of course a good thing for RB people, but it is not that good for his water purification company.

The flagship products of Qing Water Company are water dispenser filter elements and a series of other filters. Now the sales of civilian filters in the entire market have rapidly shrunk, which is equivalent to destroying one-third of Qing Water Company's product line.

"We have recently developed two new products that will be finalized soon, but we still need to submit a test report to the Ministry of Health. It is estimated that the time to be launched on the market will be at the end of October.

In view of the current situation of the shrinking product line, I have submitted another research plan for three products, and I expect to require R&D funds of 160 million yen." Shiraki Hiroo, director of the R&D office, spread out the report in front of him.

"Market Department, how are you doing research on these two new products?" Yagyu and Shima turned their heads and asked the head of the marketing department sitting on the other side of the table.

"We have sent letters to four market research companies and have received survey data from Tokyo and Osaka. Judging from the sampling survey, the acceptance of simple tap water filtration and purification equipment among the urban population has decreased significantly. Among them, among the twenty homes selected in Osaka, only three showed the desire to buy, which was lower than our expected 33% estimate. In addition, two of the five companies that tried our distilled water production equipment in Tokyo showed the intention to buy, which was better than the pre-estimated situation."

"From the current situation, low-tech content, market shrinkage is inevitable when facing individual users' products, but with high-tech content, there is still a lot to do with corporate equipment."

As he said that, Ohashi Yuanshui of the marketing department put down the information in his hand, looked up and added: "Because we have a small number of samples at present and the trial scope is narrow, it can only be used as a reference for decision-making and cannot be completely confirmed."

Ohashi Tomizu was a colleague who started the company together when Yagyu and Shima started their business. He was originally a salesperson and occupied 10% of the company's shares. He has always worked hard. Originally, Yagyu Tomizu wanted him to serve as vice president, but Ohashi Tomizu said that he had a low education and was more comfortable doing things related to his old business, so he was responsible for the work of the marketing department.

"Thank you, Ohashikun, you have done a good job." Yagyu Kazushima said gently.

"How is the company's financial situation?" Yagami Yagami looked at the company's financial director.

"Currently the company—" The financial supervisor just started reporting when Yagyu and Shima's phone rang.

"Masako, is there anything wrong?" Yagyu and Shima answered the phone while walking outside the conference room door.

"Ha, President Taishang has called." The conference room was full of senior leaders of the Qingshui Company, and several of them were veterans who started from scratch with Yagyu and Shima. They knew the situation of Yagyu and Shima family well and knew who called it when they heard the name. Moreover, except for this President Taishang, other people's calls would not allow President Yagyu to put aside the important meeting and go out to answer the call.

"Our president is good at everything, but he is too afraid of his wife. He doesn't look like an RB man! Hahaha." Those who can comment on the president so unscrupulously are naturally the veterans who started their careers. The other senior executives who later promoted to the position did not dare to respond.

"Watajima, come back quickly. Something big happened at home." Masako Minamida did not say what happened on the phone, but said this, holding a little bad intention, hung up the phone. She was really frightened just now, and it was necessary to let her husband share the joys and sorrows with her.

"Hey, hey, what happened at home? Hey hey?" Yagyu and Shima were confused and didn't know what happened at home. However, since his wife was so anxious to call, it was definitely not without reason.

He hurried into the conference room: "The meeting will be chaired by Vice President Gao Shansong, Xiaoling will keep the meeting minutes and show it to me. There are some things in my family that I need to take a step forward, so you can continue to hold the meeting."

After saying that, Yagyu and Shima hurried out of the office.

————————————

"Masako, what happened to the family?" As soon as he entered the door, Yagyu and Shima saw their family sitting in the hall with no shortage. Finally, they put down a big stone in their hearts. As long as the family is fine, other things are no big deal.

"Here, your son did a great thing!"

Yanagi and Shima followed their wife's gaze and saw their son sitting on the sofa next to them. There was a young woman with a very good figure and a professional dress standing next to her.

"Wenwa, what did you do?" Yagyu Kazushima's first reaction was that his son did something that was sorry for Kobayashi Sakura?

"Father, I'm not doing anything!" Yayoi Motoka looked at his father suddenly and said harshly, not reacting to what was going on.

"Miss, please forgive me, but Inuko already has a fiancée." Yagyu and Shima decided to make the statement clear. It would be fine if it were someone else, but Kobayashi Sakura was the daughter of his childhood friend, so she could not be wronged by herself in any case.

"Dad, this is my assistant!" Yagyu Motokabata understood what his father meant and quickly explained.

"Hello uncle. I am Hiromi Takahashi, Master Yanyu's personal assistant." Hiromi Takahashi, who was standing behind Yagyu Moto and Hiromi Takahashi, quickly bent down to salute. In order to leave a good impression on the boss's family, she has not dared to sit down until now and has been standing behind the boss.

"Uh, is that?" Yagyu and Shima found that they seemed to have misunderstood. When their old faces heated up slightly, Sakura sat next to her wife, even her face was smiling. It shouldn't be because of the fact that his son did something that was sorry for her. However, as a company boss who was a salesperson, he lacked nothing but the thickness of his face.

Yagyu and Shima looked at their wife as if nothing had happened. Masako Minamida pointed to the pile of documents, scrolls, credit cards and other things piled on the coffee table.

——————————

"What? Yuanhe received the 'National First-level Allowance'?" Yagyu and Shima shouted in disbelief. They were all middle-aged, and Yagyu shouldn't have lost their composure. However, this surprise was a little too big. Perhaps his wife Masako Minamida's understanding of the 'National First-level Allowance' was limited to how much money he paid in a year. At most, it was just an exclamation of 'Ah, my son is so amazing!'

But for Yagyu and Shima, who have been struggling in society for so many years, this is not just a matter of money, but it can even be said that money is not a problem at all.

The ‘National First-level Allowance’ is an admission ticket for the upper class. That’s not right. This is no longer just a matter of admission tickets, but even in the upper class, there is a chair to sit down.

Even if Yagyu and Shima have worked hard for so many years, the company is still the best among medium-sized enterprises. If we look at the output value alone, we may even reach the bottom line of large enterprises. But even so, he is still out of reach for the upper-class society of RB.

He had the honor of attending a cocktail party, where either the leader of the group or the president of the company came and went, and there were also female celebrities, singers and some family members. It was at this cocktail party that he met several corporate presidents with relatively low status and could only stand on the edge of an independent cocktail party, and naturally formed a small circle of corporate presidents. It was these connections that enabled his products to open up the markets in Tokyo and Osaka. In the following year, the sales of products increased by twenty-six times.

When he found out that his son had received a "national first-level allowance" silently, how much ups and downs my mood was.

My son is really promising, which gives Yagyu and Shima a sense of pride that almost fills his entire chest.

At the same time, why did he feel a sense of crisis that "I am the head of the family, and he is not old yet, and his son seems to be snatching his shift and seizing power"?

"Celebrate! We want to celebrate!" Yagyu and Shima laughed at their little thoughts that even their son was jealous, and announced their decision to celebrate the whole family.
