I am Sugar Papa in Tokyo! Chapter 33 He isn't the richest
🕑 Added 2025-09-28 13:14:02 +0000 UTCAs the morning came, Nifuji was on the edge of the bed, sitting quietly without disturbing Eri and Mayuri, who slept comfortably in the hotel where they stayed for a night.
Instead of coming home to celebrate, the three decided to stay at the closest five-star hotel and had their celebration there.
As for the money, as expected, everything returned ten times the money that he had spent.
Yet, he had to say, spending money was a nice thing, as it made him feel refreshed and also comfortable. Still, he couldn't help but look at the two pieces of paper that he got from Akane and Hina.
Akane stood aside as it was obvious that she wanted him to contact her, with the excuse that she wanted to "apologize properly." Hina was on a different reason since while she wanted to apologize, she also wanted to ask him if Akane contacted him, then he could contact her.
"Hmmm...."
Tachibana Hina, Nifuji thought of this woman, and felt like it was better to call her instead of Akane.
If it were Akane, he could imagine that she would directly bring him to the hotel before she devoured him, taking away all of his essence, like a succubus.
In front of Akane, Nifuji felt like a little fawn that knew nothing of the vicious she-wolf.
On the other hand, if he met Hina, he felt like he could ask about how Mayuri was at school, but just in case, he decided to keep their contact information on his smartphone, since as an adult, a connection was important, right?
Still, it had been a while since he had been relaxed, even on the weekend, he had been trying to work hard, learning all the materials that he had collected about the clients, and trying to get used to his new life.
"Even though everything was stable before..."
Yet, when he thought that he could start a relaxing day, he became even busier as he became the manager of his department.
While he could simply hand everything over to his subordinates, it wasn't his style to do so, since their mistakes would reflect on his record. And frankly, in most cases, everyone around him had no sense of identity or interest in improvement, as they were content with their current situations.
Also, once again, the system of promotion in this country was based on seniority, so even if sometimes many employees were incompetent, as long as they had worked long enough, it was all fine.
Moreover, as he became the manager, he was tasked to maintain the stability, and of course, he needed to watch out everything over, so due to this, he took his laptop and looked at various data of all the sections within his department as he sighed inwardly, thinking that even if he had spent a lot of money on the famous five stars hotel, in the end, he used this place as a workplace instead of a resting place.
"Should I stop working?"
"......."
An impulse was born within him, but somehow, he felt reluctant to leave, knowing well that if he left, he would have to start from zero, especially in terms of human relationships.
Nifuji couldn't say that the people around him were all good, but staying in a group was more comfortable than being alone, especially at work, at least if he messed up, he knew that there was someone who was even more in a messed-up situation than him.
"What a petty mind..."
Yet, somehow, this is how humans were: when they knew that their lives weren't the worst, they felt better.
Then again, with social media, everyone would feel that their lives were miserable, as many people showed how happy and interesting their lives are.
Regardless, while he said many things, he hadn't found what he wanted to do.
Unlike those who dared to chase after their dreams even in poverty, he just wanted to live peacefully without worry. So, even if it was a little hard to work as a salaryman, it was fine, he thought, especially when the product of his company really did help people instead of fooling, deceiving them.
He didn't work for money since he could get it by using the system, but he sought something further, and he felt that this company had that ambition instead of like other companies, which just sought stability, ignoring everything around, as it had a slow burn, dying like a frog in boiling water.
Also, while he seemed to have a lot of experience, he knew that his knowledge was limited and he wasn't the genius, business wizard that could solve everything with ease.
While he couldn't say that his ability was only so-so, as it would make him look down on himself, or think that he was inferior to others, making him lack confidence, he had a certain skill, but he knew that he wasn't a genius, and he needed many things to learn.
"Now that you mention it."
There were many things that had happened lately that he had forgotten about his rewards, such as the "free car voucher," "free property voucher," and also a "random shares company."
The free vouchers aside, he was curious about what he would get with the "random shares company," so after a moment of thought, he just pressed it and opened it until all of a sudden, he saw a hologram-like screen before him, showing a gacha-like process till—
[Congratulations, you have received 19% shares of Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd.]
"........."
"...isn't this the company where I work?"
Yes, he knew that he hadn't explained where his company was located, but he worked at Gakken Holding Co., Ltd., a company that focused on the fields of education, medical welfare, and nursing.
While he couldn't say that this company was huge, it was in an area that was essential to humanity, and it wouldn't die since everyone needed education and medical care.
Or rather, it was the number one educational publisher in the country.
Unexpectedly, he got the shares and wasn't he the largest individual shareholder?
"How much is the value again?"
When he checked the market value of the company for which he worked, the number of shares that he had, the value of those shares was—
"Well, it's okay."
He couldn't say that he was the richest, or rather, the value of his company wasn't as huge as he had imagined it to be, as he wasn't a billionaire, nor his net worth touched hundreds of millions USD, but well, it was fine.
Yet, without a doubt, when he came to work on Monday, it would definitely cause a mess in his company, and his treatment would definitely change, but before that, he forgot that he had an appointment with a rental girlfriend.
"........"
"Can I cancel it?"
Yup, he was too lazy to go.
