Milan Private High School, Classroom
In the second row, Hayakawa Naomi was wearing a student uniform. Her face was tense as she listened to the teacher. She held a pen in one hand and took notes.
Milan Private High School was like any other high school. It had five main subjects: Mandarin, Mathematics, English, Sociology and Science. Mandarin was divided into Literature and Grammar. Mathematics was divided into Mathematics and Geometry. English was divided into Written and Conversational. Sociology was divided into Geography and History. Science was divided into Biology and Earth.
Japanese education had two main characteristics. One was order, and the other was localization. Hence, Mandarin (Japanese) was very important and difficult. Not only did the school and teachers pay attention to it, but the students also paid attention to it. The teachers were also very serious during lessons.
This class was Mandarin, and it was taught by the Mandarin teacher, Masashi Shigenaga.
Masashi Shigenaga was the most serious teacher in the class. Hayakawa Naomi tried her best to be careful during the Mandarin class to avoid being reprimanded.
However, she still took the time to look at the time on her watch. This was a rare thing for an outstanding student.
The reason was that the National Domination Society had an activity that all members had to attend. Hayakawa Naomi had to be there when the class ended.
Recently, she could feel that her luck had improved. Nothing had happened to her, and the rumors about her had died down. The gratitude in her heart was hard to imagine.
Finally, the bell rang. Hayakawa Naomi packed up her stuff and ran out of the classroom. She went to the club's activity room.
When Hayakawa Naomi reached the activity room, she heard someone talking inside.
Within the activity room, Pei Zi Yun was holding onto a multi-colored newspaper. This was a modified version of the newspaper. He nodded his head and said in satisfaction, "Hm, this is not bad."
"Print it and send it to those who have not chosen a society yet." Pei Zi Yun pointed at the newspaper and said to the people in the activity room.
"Yes, Minister!" Fukuoka Maya immediately replied.
"But, Minister, we can send out advertisements and print them. However, I'm afraid we will not have enough funds." Murata Seiichiro suddenly thought of this and scratched his head.
Actually, Murata Seiichiro was a very serious person. Although on the outside, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wasn't very astute, he was actually very attentive to details. Hence, when Pei Zi Yun finished speaking, he immediately thought of this problem.
"Hmm, is that so?"
Although ten thousand taels of silver seemed like a lot of money, it was actually not a lot of money when it came to spending.
Pei Zi Yun thought for a while and said, "Then, leave the funding to me. Go and print it now!"
"Yes!" Fukuoka Maya and Murata Seiichiro bowed respectfully.
To be fair, Japan's education was indeed unique. At the very least, this kind of deference and obedience was in line with the needs of leaders.
After Pei Zi Yun told them about this matter, Hayakawa Naomi mustered her courage and whispered to him, "Minister!"
Pei Zi Yun was surprised and looked at Hayakawa Naomi's eyes.
This young lady had been scared out of her wits by Ji Dao last time. Naturally, she was feeling uneasy and wanted an explanation. But to Pei Zi Yun, since she had just joined his society, protecting her was a matter of course. Besides, it was just a matter of convenience. Pei Zi Yun understood very well that this kind of conflict with Heng Yuan Xiong was actually unavoidable. Even without Heng Yuan Xiong, there would still be Chang Zhuo.
Therefore, he said considerately, "Oh, it's Naomi. Your problem has been solved. There's no problem, don't worry!"
"Ah? Really? "Hearing this, Hayakawa Naomi's face reddened, and she could not help but ask.
Following this, Hayakawa Naomi mustered her courage and lifted her head to look at Pei Zi Yun. Seeing his confident expression, she believed his words.
"Thank you so much."
Hayakawa Naomi was no fool. The last time she and Pei Zi Yun had been invited by the Extreme Dao Sect, the leader of the Extreme Dao Sect had offered her a shocking sum of 30 million Rupees. After she had rejected his offer, the leader had offered Pei Zi Yun 50 million Rupees in exchange for giving her up.
Naomi Hayakawa had no idea how much 30 million yen was, but she knew that only 30 million yen could let her and her mother live well for two weeks. 30 million yen could buy a pretty good apartment in Tokyo. She could hardly afford that kind of money.
To be honest, when she heard that the leader of the Extreme Dao Sect took out so much money to bribe the leader, her body trembled and her heart turned cold. She was afraid that Pei Zi Yun would give up on her.
Before she joined the Dominate the Nation Society, she had always been called a 'jinx'. No one was willing to approach her, and no society was willing to accept her. Only the Dominate the Nation Society took the initiative to accept her. The members of the society treated her very well. Even when Tetsuyama Toshita got into a car accident, the leader did not blame him.
Hayakawa Naomi was very grateful to Pei Zi Yun.
At that time, if Pei Zi Yun had accepted the offer and given up on her, Hayakawa Naomi didn't know what to do.
Would she have committed suicide?
She still wanted to live.
However, Naomi Hayakawa was shocked to find out that Pei Zi Yun had rejected her without any hesitation.
At that moment, Hayakawa Naomi's mind went blank. All she wanted was to get closer to him.
Now, Pei Zi Yun said that the matter had been resolved. She didn't know how much effort he had put in. Everyone in Japan knew that the Extreme Dao Sect was not a simple organization. They had connections with many different parties and had deep roots. They even had a protective umbrella. It was difficult to deal with them.
Thinking about this, Hayakawa Naomi clenched her sleeves and said, "Ah, leader, what do you like to eat?"
"I want … I want to do something for Yamada-kun and the society."
"I don't know how to do much, but I can bring some snacks." After saying this, she mustered up her courage and said, "Although my skills aren't that good, I will work hard to learn. Please."
In Japanese society, the most important thing was to be useful to the group. Hayakawa Naomi's eyes were filled with hope.
In the past, when she was ostracized, she even thought of suicide. However, she wanted to live on and persevere a little longer. Now that she had the society to accept her and the leader to protect her, she finally managed to persevere.
But if that was the case, she hoped that she could be useful to the leader and the society. Even if it was just a little, it would be good. That was her value.
"If you want to talk about food, I usually like to eat a lot of it. But in general, I don't really like soba noodles and udon noodles that only have soup." Hearing this question, Pei Zi Yun did not think about her complicated feelings. He propped his chin on his hand and thought about it carefully.
"But if you put more meat and vegetables in it, I'll eat it."
The soba noodles tasted good, but according to Japanese customs, they would at most have chicken soup. Even if they did have meat, it would be thin and small. Pei Zi Yun was not interested in noodles without meat. He added, "The sashimi is okay, as long as there are no eggs. I don't really like curry."
Compared to India, the Japanese loved curry more, which made him feel helpless.
Japanese curry wasn't too spicy, but because it was infused with concentrated fruit paste, it had a heavy sweetness to it. Other than accompanying rice, it could also be used as a soup base for ramen and oolong noodles. Honestly speaking, Pei Zi Yun really couldn't stand the taste of this curry.
But curry in Japan was everywhere. Curry powder and blocks were a must at home. Not only was it convenient to use, but it also saved time. There was no need to go to a restaurant, learn how to cook, or buy ingredients. All he had to do was heat it slightly and pour it on the rice.
Hence, every time Pei Zi Yun's mother used curry to cook, Pei Zi Yun would be unhappy and complain, "In the future, don't use curry in cooking!"
Don't eat curry?
That was strange. There were people in Japan who didn't eat curry?
Not only Yamada Izumi, even Hayakawa Naomi was surprised. But she quickly hid it in her heart and asked Pei Zi Yun, "Well, if that's the case, what do you like the most?"
"Ah, let me think about it. Well, my favorite food is sushi and amaterasu!" Pei Zi Yun thought for a while and answered casually.
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Hayakawa Naomi nodded her head as her face turned even redder. She then said, "Minister, please let me cook for you and the department!"
Hayakawa Naomi clenched her fists and made up her mind, 'I have to learn cooking from my mother, so that Yamada-kun will like me.'
Pei Zi Yun did not think too much about it. He looked at her warmly and said softly, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you. However, the department will pay for the ingredients."
To Pei Zi Yun, as a leader, he had to accept the feelings of his subordinates. If his subordinates were willing to think for him and the department, then he would accept it. This was a good cycle, as it would increase the loyalty of his subordinates and increase their sense of security.
Besides, this was a small matter, and was not worth rebuking.
"Hey, you agree? I'll definitely work hard. " Hayakawa Naomi bowed and replied, her eyes filled with happiness. She stole a glance at Pei Zi Yun and saw that he was still working. She then took out her phone and sent an email to her mother, telling her that she wanted to learn how to cook. She then started to daydream, and her face turned red.
At this point, Pei Zi Yun was deep in thought as well.
'Hm, what should I do with the money for the club?'
It was still manageable now. However, if the Domination of the Nation Club were to expand, and there would be more activities, the money would not be sufficient. Hence, he had to think of ways to earn more money.
This did not mean that Pei Zi Yun had no money. Pei Zi Yun had six million dollars in his bank account. Furthermore, there was still the royalties from White Rock Institute Publishing House.
That would be at least ten million dollars.
However, the money of the club belonged to the club, and the money of the individual belonged to the club. The money of the club belonged to the club, and was considered a public asset. In Japan, there was a clear distinction between public and private assets, to prevent unnecessary conflicts.
Pei Zi Yun was thinking about how to solve the problem of the club's finances. When he looked up, he noticed that Hayakawa Naomi's face had turned red. Even her ears were starting to turn red.
"Naomi, what's wrong?" Pei Zi Yun asked. Hayakawa Naomi was startled and replied, "Nothing, I just felt a little stuffy."
"Stuffy? It's May now, that's alright. It's not July yet. "
Hayakawa Naomi did not know how to reply. At this point, footsteps could be heard from outside. Someone shouted, "Is that Department Head Yamada? The Student Council is looking for you. "
Hayakawa Naomi heaved a sigh of relief.
