Chapter 917: Taking Over the Family

After hearing Ito Yuhiko finish these words, Ye Chen looked at him with new eyes.

It seems that Ito Yuhiko indeed has a very good overall view, and he is able to control the greed in his heart, not being greedy for more, nor being reckless.

If it were a family with strong ambition and strong greed, they would likely start high-profile and dual-pronged at this time.

On one hand, they would comprehensively suppress other families in the country, striving to eat up their shares in a short period of time, making themselves eat until they become fat;

On the other hand, they would cooperate with big overseas families as soon as possible, further opening up profit channels and rapidly developing themselves.

However, Ito Yuhiko was able to see the situation clearly, as well as the hidden dangers and pitfalls.

There is no doubt that the Su family is indeed a tiger-wolf family.

Such a family not only lacks the morality of the world but has even lost basic humanity.

Cooperating with such a family, one must be on guard at all times; otherwise, it is highly likely to be stabbed hard in the back by the other party.

And if one leans towards the Su family's competitors, it is equivalent to standing directly on the opposite side of the Su family, and the danger coefficient is even greater.

Rather than this, it is better to close the door and work hard to develop oneself.

Ito Emi also understood her big brother's worries and foresight, and said earnestly, "Big Brother, you are right. It is Emi who is too dull and didn't see this layer."

Ito Yuhiko waved his hand, "Your thinking is also normal. Entrepreneurship is like a gamble. Either you just bet bigger, and perhaps you can gamble on an unparalleled future; or after storing a certain amount of chips, you learn to quit while you are ahead..."

Speaking of this, Ito Yuhiko sighed, "If it were before tonight, I might have thought the same as you, taking this opportunity to gamble on a big one. However, after walking through the gates of hell and losing my legs, I finally know the preciousness of life and the meaning of living. Moreover, after knowing that I almost lost Nanako, I realized this point even more..."

"Therefore, I want to be more cautious now. Steady and solid is more important than anything else."

Ito Emi nodded earnestly.

At this time, Ito Yuhiko glanced at Ito Nanako and said earnestly, "Nanako, since you have recovered, from now on, stay in Tokyo to accompany Otosan."

Ito Nanako was slightly hesitant.

She liked the environment in Kyoto and was reluctant to leave Kyoto.

However, thinking that the situation was special now and she could no longer follow her own preferences, she immediately said, "Alright, Otosan, Nanako will stay to accompany you!"

Ito Yuhiko said again, "Letting you stay in Tokyo is not just to let you accompany me, but also to let you come into contact with the family's business and industry earlier, starting to prepare for taking over."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Otosan, Nanako has no experience in operating family industries. Is it too early now?"

Ito Yuhiko nodded and said earnestly, "It is indeed a bit early, but the situation is special now. My legs are gone, and it will be inconvenient to move around in the future..."

Speaking of this, Ito Yuhiko sighed with some loneliness, "Moreover, as a disabled person, I am not very suitable to represent the family to show my face; it will affect the family's image."

"Therefore, you must be prepared to take over from me now. At the very least, you must take on the family's external image first. In the future, outside, you will represent the Ito family."

Ito Emi also advised, "Yes, Nanako, you should stand out and walk to the front of the stage instead of your father now, letting your father teach you from behind and offer advice for you."

Ito Nanako nodded gently and said, "Alright, I will definitely work hard!"

Ito Yuhiko and Ito Emi, seeing Nanako agree so readily, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Ito Yuhiko naturally had high hopes for his daughter, but Nanako had been obsessed with martial arts before and had no great interest in the operation and management of family enterprises.

At that time, Ito Yuhiko was still worrying about how to let his daughter gradually focus her mind and concentrate on inheriting the family industry.

He thought his body could hold on for another ten or more years, which would give Ito Nanako a few more years of free time.

He didn't expect things to change so much all of a sudden.

Although most of Japanese culture originated from China, it has had some localized development to a greater or lesser extent.

In China, entrepreneurs mostly put interests first and don't pay much attention to external image issues.

However, in Japan, due to the high degree of Westernization after the Meiji Restoration, Japanese entrepreneurs attach great importance to the external image of the enterprise.

To give a simplest example, if you do clerical work in a Japanese enterprise, you will have a very big headache in summer.

Because most Japanese enterprises require their employees to wear formal attire during working hours, even in midsummer, they must wear shirts and suits, and even tie their ties well.

Therefore, Japanese entrepreneurs holding press conferences or attending public activities, regardless of age, are all in formal attire.

And Japanese people like to bow; they will suddenly stand up and bow ninety degrees while talking, then sit down and continue talking.

Therefore, Ito Yuhiko's current state is particularly unsuitable as an external spokesperson for the enterprise.

Although Ito Nanako is young, she wins with an extremely good image and particularly conforms to the Japanese aesthetic. Having her be responsible for external affairs is the best choice for the Ito family.

Ye Chen also thought highly of Ito Nanako and encouraged, "If Nanako takes over the Ito family, she has the potential to make the Ito family a web-celebrity enterprise. By then, the media will definitely play up the persona of a beautiful president. Once Nanako's beautiful president persona is successfully established, it will allow the Ito family to achieve twice the result with half the effort in their career."

Ito Nanako, hearing Ye Chen's words, couldn't help but feel a bit shy, blushing and saying, "Ye Chen-kun, don't make fun of Nanako. Where do I have the temperament of a beautiful president? It's nothing more than being forced to do it, having no other choice."

Ye Chen said earnestly, "Don't belittle yourself. With your perfect image and temperament, you will definitely become a beautiful entrepreneur pursued crazily by all of Japan in the future, and you might even become a business card for the Japanese business world overseas."

Ito Nanako, being praised by Ye Chen like this, felt both shy and happy in her heart. Plus, she was a young girl whose heart was just beginning to stir, and she had no ability to hide herself in such matters, so she could only lower her head deeper and deeper.

Ito Yuhiko immediately saw the unusualness of his daughter. At this moment, he could already be certain that his daughter had fallen in love with this Chinese man, Ye Chen.

Observing for a moment, he became even more firm in his view.

At this moment, as a father, he felt a bit melancholy deep in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt a bit gratified by his daughter's emotional maturity.

Therefore, he said, "Emi, Nanako, you two go out first. I have some words I want to chat with Mr. Ye privately!" ===== CHAPTER 918 =====
