Chapter 1814


    Emi took Yahiko’s side and advised Nanako, "Nanako, listen to your father. You should represent


    your father at the frontline, and your father will stay behind the scenes to guide you and be the


    mastermind.” 3


    Nanako nodded her head gently as she said, "Alright, I will work hard for it!"


    Yahiko and Emi were relieved after Nanako made her promise without much hesitation. 4


    All the while, Yahiko had had high expectations for his daughter. It was just that Nanako had been


    indulged in martial arts before this and had shown little interest in the family''s business operation


    and management. 2


    Back then, Yahiko had had to crack his head to shift his daughter''s focus back on the family''s


    business instead of her own interest. 1


    Initially, he had thought that with his physical condition, he would be able to endure for at least a


    decade or more so as to prolong Nanako’s freedom. 2


    Nevertheless, who would have thought that such drastic changes had taken ce so swiftly and


    changed everything.


    Despite most of the Japanese culture originating from Oskia, some ideas had developed purely


    from the Japanese.


    For Oskian businessmen, profits would be given the utmost priority before their image.


    However, since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese had be more westernized. As such,


    Japanese businessmen had be very particr about their image. 2


    For instance, Japanese who performed clerical jobs would often face the same issue during the


    summer. 3


    As such, everyone, including the elderly and the youth, would be seen in their formal wear during


    Japanese press conferences or public events. 2


    Moreover, it was very often that a Japanese who was still chatting could be seen standing up all of a


    sudden, making a ny-degree bow, and then sitting down again to continue the talk. 4


    Therefore, it would be inappropriate for Yahiko to be the spokesperson in his present condition.


    Despite Nanako''s young age, she had a likable image, and she was also considered a beauty in the


    eyes of the Japanese. Therefore, it would be a wise choice to select her as the spokesperson. 2


    Charlie also looked highly upon Nanako. He encouraged her and said, "If Nanako were to be


    the sessor of the Ito family, she will have the potential of elevating the family business to


    be a n online celebrity enterprise. By then, social media willbel her as a beautiful president.


    As soon as Nanako has been branded as a beautiful president, she can help the Ito family achieve


    further sess effortlessly."


    As soon as Nanako heard thosepliments from Charlie, she felt embarrassed, and her face


    blushed red. "Charlie, don’t make fun of me. Who am I to be qualified as a beautiful president. I am


    forced to be one, after all." 3


    Charlie said earnestly, "Don''t ever look down on yourself. With your sophisticated beauty and


    elegance, people will rave about you for being a beautiful businesswoman. Who knows, your image


    may even be imprinted on the business cards of the Japanese businessmunity overseas."

    Nanako felt embarrassed and ecstatic after receiving suchpliments from Charlie. Moreover,


    Charlie was her crush. Thus, she had no way to hide her feelings at all. All she did was lower her


    head. 3


    Yahiko noticed her daughter''s unusual behavior. From that moment, he was very sure that his


    daughter had fallen in love with Charlie. 6


    After more observation, he was very confident in his assumptions.


    As a father, he felt mncholic, but at the same time, h e felt relieved that his daughter was


    emotionally mature to a certain extent.


    He opened his mouth and said, "Emi and Nanako, could you two please excuse us for a while. I


    would like to have a word with Mr. Wade!"
