After hearing Shiro's words, Fujiwara Chika was completely stunned, and then let out a surprised cry.
"Eh..."
"Shiro~ So you've acquired so many shares of our family?"
Fujiwara Chika's eyes sparkled at this moment with a pure, innocently foolish glint.
Shiro and Kaguya Shinomiya looked at her foolish expression, as if she had just realized it, and felt helpless. Well, this girl really didn't know.
"I'm telling you, Chika, this is your family's business, don't tell me you really know nothing about your family's situation."
"I'm caught! I really usually don't ask about those things."
Fujiwara Chika knocked her fist on her head, acting cute, trying to get out of it.
"Tch, I have to say, Kaguya even envies your situation."
"You don't have to worry about anything, it's simply wonderful."
Shiro gave her a thumbs-up at this moment, and when she heard that, she looked at Kaguya Shinomiya and spoke in a surprised tone.
"President, do you really envy me?"
Kaguya Shinomiya didn't know how to respond when she heard that. Well, that was a bit too direct of a question.
"It's not exactly envy, more like... you know? Chika, her type is someone who waits for an arranged marriage."
"If you're not from a big family, there are many unwritten rules you might not understand. For someone like Chika, there's a high probability that she will have an arranged marriage in the future."
Fujiwara Chika immediately deflated when she heard that, losing her usual energy.
"The president is right, I'll most likely have an arranged marriage in the future."
"Emmm, indeed, being born into a prestigious family, you don't have to worry about food and drink, but marriage is really hard to control."
"But let's make a bet, with these shares in my hands, do you think the Fujiwara family, or rather your grandfather, would propose an arranged marriage?"
Shiro suddenly said this, which left the others stunned for a moment.
The main point was that no one had thought about this issue, but looking at Shiro's playful, mocking expression, for some reason they felt that the probability of it was very high.
Kaguya Shinomiya's lips twitched slightly when she heard that.
"I have to say, when it comes to doing something underhanded, your brain reacts the fastest."
Kaguya Shinomiya felt that this possibility was indeed very high.
"It just came to mind. After all, with these things in my hands, if they can't get them back, the only thing they can do is an arranged marriage. Because if one day I betray them and sell those things to their rival forces or enemies, it would probably cause huge problems."
Shiro crossed his legs at this moment, slowly analyzing while drinking tea.
At this moment, Fujiwara Chika, this 'Fang of the Earth,' was already blushing, and her eyes were spinning like spirals.
After all, she wasn't a complete fool. If it really came to an arranged marriage, then the target would most likely be her. Then she began to think wildly, and the other three noticed it and sighed inwardly; she had entered her overthinking state again.
"You tell me, then, should I choose the older sister with natural airhead traits, or wait for the younger sister to grow up?"
Shiro said this with a smile, and suddenly, everyone looked as if they were frozen in time. Then the person who was in the overthinking state mechanically turned her head toward Shiro, her eyes full of disbelief, as if asking, 'What are you saying?'
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Fujiwara Chika, who was in an overthinking state, looked embarrassed, and then quickly changed her expression to an aggrieved one.
"I'm telling you, can you be a little less mean?"
"Chika, don't be fooled by this guy. Look at him, he's obviously just trying to scare you."
"After all, with his personality, if he had only mentioned one sister, it might be believable, but when he mentions the younger sister too, then his words aren't credible."
Kaguya Shinomiya saw her secretary being bullied like this, especially by this guy who likes to cause trouble and who had just tried to poach her people. She decisively exposed the truth. Normally she would join in, but since he tried to poach her people, she decisively stopped his game.
Fujiwara Chika, who looked like she was about to cry from grievance, immediately looked at Shiro.
"Emmm, I'm joking, I'm joking. The first choice would of course be Chika, if such a situation really happened."
Shiro said with a smile, patting her head, although inwardly he added, 'Of course, the best is all.'
After finally calming this energetic girl down, Shiro felt that he shouldn't tease her anymore, because she was quite hard to handle. Overthinks too much.
"Chika, just tell your family that I will come."
Fujiwara Chika immediately jumped onto the sofa and said:
"Then I'll go home and tell them. I still have things to do."
After saying that, she left in a hurry, leaving those present somewhat confused. Honestly, her actions were sometimes quite unpredictable.
After she left, Shiro continued drinking tea, then looked at Kaguya Shinomiya.
"I'm telling you, was it really necessary to expose me? I was planning to tease her a bit more."
"Hmph!"
Kaguya Shinomiya snorted when she heard that, then crossed her arms and slowly said:
"Actually, what you said earlier was half true and half false. The younger sister is too young, but for the older sister, you probably really have intentions, right? After all, with your personality, if there's something you can get and don't take it, you will definitely regret it, so you certainly won't allow yourself to regret it."
Shiro was stunned when he heard that, and then seriously suspected whether she had some kind of mind-reading ability.
"I don't have mind-reading abilities; it's just that your actions are sometimes too easy to understand. But I'm telling you, that's impossible. After all, it's impossible to really have two in a row, and others also have to save face."
"So give up on that idea in time."
Kaguya Shinomiya then smiled with satisfaction, delivering a blow. Seeing his plans fail was very satisfying, but she forgot that he was a cheater.
"Emmm, I have to say, under normal circumstances, that would indeed be the case. You should have handed over the affairs to Ba Ma, right?"
Kaguya Shinomiya was stunned when she heard that, but still nodded. Recalling the chaotic experience in the past 24 hours, she was still a bit slow to react. A large conglomerate had now become hers just like that. What even was this? Bah, no, Shiro's name was still on it. But it was practically hers.
And that old man was even acting like a servant, which confused her even more. What exactly did this guy do?
"How did you do it? Although that person isn't on the level of Mikado Sanzenin, he's still a ruthless person who made his way on his own. How did he end up acting like your servant?"
"And not to mention, he has other forces behind him."
Shiro thought about showing his ability to control others, but didn't explain after all.
"It's his honor to serve me, and I don't even consider him a servant. At best, he's just a tool."
"As for how I did it, let it remain a secret. After all, secrets are the most attractive, aren't they?"
Shiro said this with a smile.
Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't refute his words; instead, she actually wanted to dig out the truth.
"So, is this matter related to that other thing you mentioned?"
Kaguya Shinomiya was somewhat confused, because those two situations were quite different.
"Why wouldn't it be related? Don't you think, what if I help the Fujiwara family produce another prime minister?"
"After all, ever since Chika's grandfather retired, they've started to decline, right? Because the rest are somewhat incompetent."
