Although Nanako and Hiroshi were only speaking over the phone, she instantly blushed as soon as she heard his words. 3 She tried to explain vaguely, "Tanaka-san... you... you have misunderstood me! I... I do not... I do not have any feelings... or affection... for Mr. Wade..." Hiroshi sighed as he said, "Miss, I have already been serving the Ito family for so many years, and I have already stayed by your side for such a long time. I understand and know you very well. You don't have to hide anything from me. I do not want to invade or pry into your privacy. However, the main point is that if even someone likecould read your thoughts, what's more, the chairman who has always had such great insight, then? It would certainly be impossible for you to hide your feelings in front of the chairman. I am afraid that you will not only be unable to meet up with Mr. Wade, but you might also reveal your true thoughts and feelings in front of the chairman at that time..." 7 "This..." Nanako was at a loss for words.

He had already made this point very clear to her countless times. He said that he would only be able to accept it if she were to marry a Japanese man in the future. Moreover, that Japanese man would have to be purely of Japanese descent.
9 As for the others, even those immigrants from Oskia and South Korea who had cover to Japan more than one or two hundred years ago and had already lived in Japan for three or four generations were not considered Japanese who originated from pure Japanese descent.
This was the case for Masayoshi Son, the founder and CEO of Softbank, who invested in Alibaba. Although he was the richest man in Japan, in Yahiko's eyes, he was not considered a Japanese whatsoever. This was because Son's grandfather's generation originally cfrom Daegu, Korea.
Many years ago, Son's grandfather immigrated from Daegu to Japan to start working as a miner here. Son was born and raised in Japan. 4 In the eyes of most people, he was already a standard and regular Japanese man. 9 However, in the eyes of an utter and downright ethnicist such as Yahiko, Son could only be considered a Korean- Japanese at best. 6 This was also the case for how most Americans treated the American-born Chinese. Even if these American-born Chinese had American citizenship, sof the Americans would still regard these people as Chinese. 10 It was also precisely because Nanako knew and understood her father very well, she suddenly felt very afraid of her own hasty decision. 3 Hiroshi was right. If she insisted on returning to Tokyo so suddenly just to meet Charlie, Yahiko would certainly be very angry. He might even confine Nanako at hand forbid her from going out. In the worst case, Yahiko might even directly interfere with her freedom of marriage by forcing her to get married to a partner that he would then determine for her. 3 As she thought about this, Nanako felt very depressed and disappointed. She murmured, "Thank you, Tanaka - san. I understand..." Hiroshi hurriedly asked, "Miss, will you still be returning to Tokyo tomorrow, then?" Nanako bit her lower lip slightly, and she remained silent for a long time. After that, she replied sadly, "I will not be going back anymore, lest I cause more unnecessary trouble. It would not be good if I get Charlie-kun into trouble again." 5 Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, you've made a very wise decision. The chairman is very annoyed at Mr. Wade now. If it weren't because of the cooperation with the Schulz family at this moment, the president would already be thinking of a way to deal with Mr. Wade now. If you cto meet Mr. Wade in Tokyo at this time, you will definitely be adding fuel to the flame..."

Anyway, can ask you for help with something else?" Hiroshi hurriedly said, "Miss, please giveany of your instructions or orders!"
Nanako said, "If the conflict between my Eminent Father and Charlie-kun intensifies even further please stop my Eminent Father at all costs. Do not allow him to do anything to hurt Charlie-kun just because of a moment of anger..." 9
Hiroshi replied embarrassedly, "Miss, to tell you the truth, Mr. Wade cheated the chairman out of four and ahalf bilion US dollars. Even if you like him, you should not favor an outsider instead of someone who is on your own side!" 5 Nanako replied seriously, "I am not asking you to do this because I want to protect Charlie-kun. I am asking X
