Currently, at the Aurous Hill International Hotel.


    After leaving the gymnasium, Nanako Ito returned to her hotel room, apanied by her assistant and several servants assigned to her during her stay.


    For this trip to Aurous Hill, the Ito family had long ago reserved both presidential suites avable at the Aurous Hill International Hotel.


    Nanako Ito upies one suite alone, while her coach, assistants, and subordinates stay in the other presidential suite.


    Approximately fifteen days ago, the Ito family dispatched someone to Aurous Hill to convert one of the bedrooms in Nanako’s suite into her personal practice room.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It’s reported that the renovation cost millions. When factoring in the expense of renting the two presidential suites for an extended period, the total cost for Nanako Ito’s amodations during her stay in Aurous Hill is expected to be around three to four million.


    The reason behind suchvish arrangements is the immense wealth of the Ito family.


    The Ito family ranks among the top five prominent families in Japan, with interests spanning nearly every conceivable industry. Notably, the notorious Yamaguchi Yakuza Group has shares in the Ito family business as well.


    While Nanako Ito is young, beautiful, and possesses a calm intellect, she is deeply passionate about martial arts. Her training regimen is rigorous, and she maintains strict discipline, training year-round, regardless of the weather.


    After finishing her match in the morning, she returned to the hotel, skipped lunch, and headed straight back into her practice room.


    As she was training vigorously, beads of sweat pouring down her, her phone suddenly vibrated.


    It was a call from her assistant, Hiroshi Tanaka.


    She paused her training, answered the phone, and inquired, “Tanaka, what’s going on?”


    Tanaka replied respectfully, “Miss, Mr. Jiro Kobayashi, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., is here and wishes to see you. Do you have time to meet with him?”


    “Jiro Kobayashi?” Nanako Ito replied, puzzled. “I’ve never met him, nor do I have any connection with him. Why would he want to see me?”


    Hiroshi Tanaka quickly exined, “Miss, you may not know this, but Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals sponsored the finals of thispetition and invested a significant amount to secure the title. This appears to be a strategic move for them to enter the Chinese market. Mr. Kobayashi came to Aurous Hill specifically to meet you, knowing that you are staying here.”<fn05c8> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fn05c8>


    Nanako Ito responded, “Please let him know that I’m training and won’t have time to meet him. I hope he understands.”


    Nanako is generally reserved and prefers to avoid social interactions, particrly at this critical juncture as she prepares for the semi-finals. She wishes to remain focused and not be sidetracked by a stranger.


    Tanaka, concerned, pressed on, “Miss, Mr. Kobayashi recently inherited thepany, and their gship product, Kobayashi Niranex, is actively expanding globally…”


    At this point, Nanako Ito, usually patient, interjected with irritation, “Tanaka, what are you trying to say? I have no rtionship with Jiro Kobayashi, and I’m not interested in the happenings of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. This does not concern me.”


    Tanaka, feeling awkward, continued, “Miss, the president has been in close talks with Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals because he is optimistic about their future. He intends to discuss investment and shareholding with Jiro Kobayashi. Mr. Kobayashi is very eager to meet you, as he believes an investment from the Ito family could be beneficial. His sponsorship of thispetition was intended to gain favor with you and your family!”


    “Oh…” Nanako Ito realized that the president Tanaka referred to was her father, Yuhiko Ito, the current head of the Ito family.


    Despite this, Nanako remained somewhat distant and replied, “I prefer not to get too involved in my father’s business. If he and Jiro Kobayashi wish to coborate, they can arrange to meet and discuss it.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
