Chapter 269 : Jii-chans grading

Pure Love x Insult Complex Chapter 268 : Vassals manners

Do you understand why a corporation made from an old house like Kouzuki is much stronger than companies that are just starting up?

Jii-chans voice coming out from the speaker asks.

A long lasting name are special existences. They have connection with other famous housesand have power as well. For over a hundred years, Kouzuki has contributed progress to the nation named Japan. On surface and on the other side as well The Japanese nor the US can no longer crush the Kouzuki family. If Kouzuki house declares that theyll shoulder the political and economic activitiesthen the country will be overthrown. A house nobody can harmthat is Kouzuki house. Just being a company dealing with the Kouzuki house, you can get absolute trust in the business world

That is a noble family

WellI have been steering the Kouzuki group for many years. The activities of Kouzuki house is wide!

Misuzu and RurikoKouzuki Souji and theprince factionShiba Akira, Kouzuki Kenshi and therising factionare seriously listening to Jii-chans voice.

Theres two large flows divided into twothat is to protect thehouseand to develop thehouse

To protect and to develop.

Without the will to protect, the tradition and the pride as an old family will be lost in the course of time. Everything will be trampled by the rising power. Howeverif only you keep protecting, the weakening cant be stopped. To maintain status quo, the house will be exposed to the flow of time and will be ruined. At the moment it stopped growing, itll die. Peoplehouseeven companies

Jii-chans words have weight in them.

Thereforewe must constantly change and grow our house to maintain what we protect. This is originally a contradiction. However, it can coexistno, they have to unless the house will perish

The voice in the speaker laughs.

Then, what to do?Its easy. I divided the company into two. A company that emphasizes on protecting and a company that focuses on developing

Misuzu looks at the students in surprise.

Prince factionand theRising faction

Misuzu, Rurikofrom your perspective, you can only see my students as foolish people. Acquaintance since teenageits good to have people who know each others nature. The two groups are divided now but theyll mix together after a while. Those who fight are more likely to get along

Jii-chanare you managing your students on a long-term perspective?

FirstKouzuki Souji

Y-Yes!

Jii-chan called his nameKouzuki Souji answers nervously

Youre suited to protect

M-Me?

Yes, howeveryoure not suited in financial affairs. You don'[t have the sensibility to quickly judge and deal with a new situation one after another

Y-Yes

Howeverwhat you can do is to protect whats now and convey it to the next generation

Jii-chan said.

You dont have the talent to stand on top of Kouzuki family. However, its possible for you to come on top five. Thats your limit

I!

Kouzuki Soujis shocked as Jii-chan said it clearly.

Noyou have united your group well. I recognize that power. Perhapsyour groups unity wont change even 20, 30 years later. Its an important foundation for Kouzuki group

Truethese guys have an amazing teamwork.

However, your unity is too inward oriented. Furthermore, you dont accept someone from the outside. For now, I can entrust leaving the job of protecting to you all

Jii-chans eyes moved from Kouzuki Souji to the other members ofPrince faction

Kouzuki Satoshi, Natsuki Makotowhy did you make Souji your leader? Why arent you taking the initiative to become the leader?

T-Thats

We put our trust in Souji-samas talent

Kouzuki Satoshi falters and Natsuki Makoto responded clearly.

Thats a lie. You just wanted to take it easy. Youd rather become the number two and three than becoming the leader, exposed to heavy exposure

No, thats

Thats not true. Souji-samas lineage is superior than mine!

If you comment about lineage then blindly worship Ruriko. Rurikos the direct lineage of Kouzuki!

Jii-chan strictly questions.

That is

Souji who has a somewhat good blood took the initiative of becoming a leader. Then, those who serve have it easyas a matter of fact, thats what youre thinking right?

No, we never had such thought! We really do believe in Souji-samas wonderfulness! Souji-sama is a great man that would last a hundred years

Natsuki Makoto still hangs on.

Kata Takashi, Torada Chitoku, Koku Rakujin, Tsunoda Fumikazu, Oohari Ryouand Kouzuki Subaru. Are you on the same page?

Jii-chan asks the other members.

Y-Yesit is as Natsuki said

I believe in Souji-sama

Same

No, reallyhes a great man that would last a hundred years. Thats what I seriously think

YesIm sure

Onii-samas wonderful. Even I cant reach his feet

Jii-chan

I seeit seems that Ive educated you badly

Then

Hey, you guysif Soujis a talent of a hundred years, then what am I?

Ha?

Prince factionopens their mouthj widely

Im asking how many years my talent would last!!!

T-Thatsthat

I-Its around a thousand years?

No, if you look atKakkasachievements, itll be ten thousand years

More. He cant be compared to anyone else!

Jii-chan sighs

Lightyou people are so easy!

YeahI think so too

Im nothing but an ordinary man. Soujis the same

B-ButKakka

You dont know what a real genius is!

Jii-chan said.

A talented person in ten years is just a dime a dozen. I have encountered people with a talent lasting a thousand years. A real genius comes out only every thousand years and I know someone wholl last ten thousand!

The head of Kouzuki family, Jii-chan who had lived for decadeshad exchange with such people.

Know whats real. And be more humble. If you realize how ordinary human, a stone on the side of the roadyour view of the world changes

I am a stone?

Kouzuki Souji mutters.

Yes, a stone. Furthermore, a stone that causes quite a trouble Youre not round, only having sharp edgesthats what kind of a stone you are!

Jii-chans voice is laughing as he speak harshly.

Nevertheless, this person has a lot of affection to his students.

Am I that incompetent

Kouzuki Soujis shocked.

Soujido you know John Jacobs, the president of American x company?

Hes the one called the god of financial company

Thats right. Ive met him multiple times. Can you defeat Jacobs in financial investment?

No waythe opponent is a God! Theres no way I could beat him!

Jii-chan snorts,

Right now, I have 2 wins and 8 loses. Though Ive lost a lot, the wounds small. If he didnt think of Japans Kouzui as a tough opponentthe entire Japan wouldve been devoured by him

Not only theprince factionbut also therising factionare listening to Jii-chans words seriously.

Listenbeing involved in Kouzuki houses management means that youll continue fighting on the same field as the ferocious genius like Jacobs. Furthermorethe fights arent fair. Often, you must compete on under their rules, their judgement. Sometimes, they lose strategically. Whats important is to show that theres an extraordinary fighting spirit and Kouzuki never intends to be ruled by them. If you show a chance, if you know that the opponent would come for your throat then they wont attack carelessly

The room quiets down.

Having both the financial power and ability more than oneselfyou must continue your fighting pose against those who are tied to state power. Theres a lot of people who owns intelligence similar to Jacobs. Investors, corporate managers, politiciansand even scammers. Just because theyre more capable than I am, I never allow myself to run away from a fight. Kouzuki group is behind my backand behind them is the nation called Japan!

Jii-chan said.

Souji, the others as wellyou have decent ability. Youve got the lineage. Youve got connections. And that may certainly be your power. Howeverthat were just power just given to you by chanceits not a power you have gained yourselves. And yetwhat are you doing looking down on people not luckier than yourselves?

Thats rightthese guys only look down.

Even though they think that people more powerful than themselves are unbeatable from the start.

They dont even feel like fighting.

There are a number of people who have much more terrific ability, blood, and even connections that you. And those peopleeven they show wanting to have allegiance, those vultures wont overlook you

Jii-chans words made the students tremble.

Its likely the first time they became conscious the fear of standing in the center of a company.

Even I had an inferior ability, I desperately bit into himthe people youre looking down too will desperately peel their fangs on you. This world isnt a simple survival of the fittest. The weak risk their life to beat the strong people that is a daily experience in real business world

Jii-chan said calmly

Become more humble. On people inferior, and to those who are superior to yourselvesyou must pay careful attention equally. Were ordinary people. You should keep it in mind at all times. If you underestimate your opponent, theyll bite at your back horribly

Jii-chans gaze shifts to Shiba Akira now.

Now thenShiba Akira

Yes

I praise that you have the ambition but life is finite

What does that mean?

For example, if I want to start a new businessI can do it tomorrow. I have the fundsI also can gather the necessary personnel. I can head hunt for competent people. If you think the countrys regulations are severe then I also know who to speak in the government. I can even formulate a new law and have it resolve in the national assembly!

Yes

I dont know what kind of corporate plan you have right now but how many years do you think will it take to realize that? Even if you were fortunate enough to go throughitll take 15 years to establish the company. If unlucky, then it wont happen even after 30 years. Noin the face of success, theres a possibility of you losing everything by someone pulling your feet

But, I

Shiba Akira doesnt bend his will of independence.

For what purpose do you want to achieve this plan?

purpose?

If you simply want to succeed as an entrepreneur only in pursuit of romance, then I will not stop it. Do it on your own. Theres no need for me to take care of that

Jii-chan said.

Howeverif I find a social significance in your plan and want to make it happen by all meansthen I think that you should use everything you can

Use?

Yesif you really want to achieve it then shouldnt you think of using every method possible to realize it as soon as possible?

That is?

Oh wellyou still have time before debuting in the society. For now, stay as my student. And, try to look for anything that can be used from me with your own eyes. Ask me a question if you wantif I feel that your proposal is valid then you can use anything

Kakka!

Shiba Akira is amazed.

Its the same for the others. Hanaoka Shinsuke, Koumori Akira, Kawafuji AKishi, Kouzuki Kenshi, Takagi Fuuta, and the one not here, Shiba Takahiko Except for Kouzuki Kenshi, you dont know the tradition of Kouzuki family You wont be able to defend it. I know that you are only interested in development. Therefore, let me tell you If you have a plan of some sort then show it to me before the classes are over. If its a good plan then Ill cooperate towards realization of it. First, a plan. If I can see a plan then I can see how serious you are and how you think about the world. Ill just burn down any spoiled plan, an underestimating plan, a irresponsible plan. You must be prepared to be evaluated when you bring your plan. Is that understood

Y-Yes

The members ofrising factionanswered all at once.

Shiba Akira hasnt responded yet

Akira-kunwere still no match againstKakka Let us have him guide us. Theres still a lot to learn

Kouzuki Kenshi tells Shiba Akira.

Yes, youre rightKenshi-san. KakkaIm sorry for saying rude things. Please let me study underKakkafor a while longer!

Shiba Akira submits to Jii-chan.

Then, lastlyMisuzu, Ruriko

Jii-chan speaks to his two granddaughters.

Dont abandon people that easily. You should value relationships of people. If you cast away the current talents, you may be able to find better ones. Howeverwhat if you didnt come across such talent? Its common that only people with poor abilities and dont have perseverance are the ones employed

Grandfather

Misuzu shows a pained look

Dont make that face. Whats important is the right person in the right place. Always think about the people with talent. How can you use that resource well. Most of the human resources fit together like puzzle pieces

Understood, grandfather

I also was thoughtless

Misuzu and Ruriko apologizes to their grandfather.

Dont mind it. You two can fail even more at the current moment

Jii-chans voice was kind.

Let me tell you all my students. The future of Kouzuki house will be centered on Ruriko and Misuzu. Kouzuki house cant escape from the lineage. Ruriko will be the successor and Misuzu will support. I want you all to help them by all means. That is a request from me. Im counting on you

Kouzuki Souji

Please waitthenwho will be Rurko-samas partner?

Kouzuki Souji and others think that the man wholl be Rurikos husband would be the head of Kouzuki family.

Who knowsfor the time being, Ruriko wont marry to anyone from you people

Jii-chan said.

If someone among you becomes Rurikos husbandKouzuki house will be split. Itll never do good. Rurikos husband is for her to decide. ThenThat person will not be involved with Kouzuki houses administration

T-Thats

I have made such decision on Misuzus partner. The person himself and Misuzu also consented. Then, Ruriko wont mind having the same rule apply to her. If they know that they cant become the head of Kouzuki family even if they become Rurikos husbandthe suitors aiming for fortune will be gone

Thenwholl be the head of Kouzuki house?

Kouzuki Souji asksJii-chan

I dont mind if its either Ruriko or Misuzu. These children have the ability to become the head of the house. Thats what I have judged.

Howeverboth of them are women!

In the long history of Kouzuki housethere were some women who became heads. Besides, its the 21st century now. Its the era where it doesnt need to be a man to become a leader, right?

Jii-chan said clearly.

With that saidgentlemen, I would like you to serve the two from now on

The students look at each other.

No, I think its a good idea. I think that a female head is acceptable in the future generation. Above all, the successor dispute on the current Kouzuki wife will disappearI think its amazing

Kouzuki Kenshi said

True, it would be appreciated if there will be none who aim to become Ruriko and Misuzus husband.

I-Is that soI cant become a marriage partner?!

Kouzuki Souji whos convinced that hell be Rurikos husband has received quite a shock.

Yesyoure our vassal. You heard that?

Misuzu tells the students showing a powerful eye.

YesI vow to be under Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama

Kouzuki Kenshi speaks as representative.

What about you gentlemen?

Therising factionnodded

Trueif the ladies are on the top, the unity of the group will increase

Shiba Akira seems to be convinced.

You alldont mind it do you?

Kouzuki Kenshiasks his relatives, Kouzuki Satoshi and Natsuki Makoto, and theprince faction

Welltrue, it seems that Souji-sama marrying with Ruriko-sama isnt a very good plan

Kata admits lose easily

Hey, Katayou bastard!

Kouzuki Souji glares but

Theres no other choice now that it has come to this. Kakkaswill has been made clear. As a family that has sworn allegiance to Kouzuki family, theres no other choice but to support Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama

Oohari Ryou said

The families of the old fashioned vassals are more likely to accept than the branch families of Kouzuki house.

Please waitif Souji-nii wont marry Ruriko-sama, thenis it possible that for me to be the husband?

Kouzuki Satoshi tries to say that but

No way

Ruriko answered with a smile.

Ehnot at all?

Yes

Even on an atomic level?

Never with Satoshi-san

Satoshi fell deppressed.

What about me?

Kouzuki Subaru tries to nominate himself with a smile but

Subaru-san is even worse than Satoshi-san!

Ruriko rejects with a smile.
