I am the boss of Sakaki

Sasaki was silent for a moment, then asked Sasaki Hirokazu:

"So I am just a tool in my father's eyes?"

Sasaki Hirokazu gave a somewhat disappointed sermon:

"Look at you now, do you still look like a family heir? You are the future head of the family. What does it mean to share the family's burden and do something for the family's future?"

Then, without waiting for Sasaki to speak, he left a sentence: "You have no chance to choose, prepare well and wait for the engagement. You are the protagonist today."

When he reached the old housekeeper, he bowed his head and said, "Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away, and change his clothes."

The old butler nodded respectfully, "Yes, leave it to this old servant."

boom.

The door was tightly closed and Sasaki slumped down on the bed.

The old butler comforted Sasaki:

"Master, you don't have to worry too much. I have seen the young lady of the Chang Teng family. She is very beautiful and definitely worthy of you."

popping.

The old butler clapped his hands, and several beautiful maids came in immediately, "Help the young master change his clothes."

Sasaki let the maids manipulate him woodenly, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

The maids moved gently and quickly, helping him change into an exquisite suit that was prepared for tonight's engagement party.

The suit was well-cut, highlighting his slender figure. He looked handsome and elegant.

"Master, you look so handsome," a maid said with a smile, trying to raise his spirits with words.

Sasaki forced a bitter smile, but that smile contained too much unspeakable bitterness.

He understood that tonight's engagement party was not just his personal matter, but also part of a political marriage between the two families.

He is a person who cannot even decide who to marry for the sake of his family.

Accompanied by the old butler, Sasaki was taken to the banquet hall.

The place was brightly lit, filled with guests, and the atmosphere was lively with laughter and chatter.

However, in his eyes, all of this was boring and not as interesting as accompanying Sakaki in wind and rain, even if he did some bad things.

The old butler reminded Sasaki, "Master, you have to be careful. After all, you represent the future of our Sasaki family, so you can't bring shame to the family."

"The people from the Chang Teng family will be here in half an hour."

The old butler patted Sasaki on the shoulder, looked at a corner of the hall with his shrewd eyes, and smiled inexplicably.

A false smile suddenly appeared on Sasaki's face, and he picked up a glass of red wine and walked towards the others.

He moved among the crowd, greeting every guest. Every smile was just right, every look was full of politeness, but the only thing lacking was sincerity.

His eyes occasionally swept over those people who were dressed gorgeously and had fawning smiles on their faces, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart - these people all came for their own interests, and how many of them really wished him well?

Just then, he noticed a woman in the corner. She was wearing a simple yet elegant evening dress. She stood there quietly, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of others.

There was a hint of indifference and depth in her eyes, as if she could see into people's hearts.

Sasaki was attracted by her unique temperament and walked towards her involuntarily.

"Excuse me, can I talk to you?" Sasaki asked politely.

The woman smiled and nodded, "Of course, Master Sasaki."

Sasaki was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she knew his identity.

As if she had guessed what Sasaki was thinking, the woman pointed around and smiled at Sasaki, "Look, do you need me to guess? Your identity is pretty clear."

Sasaki scratched his head, "It seems so."

The woman raised her glass to Sasaki, "Today is your engagement party, but you don't look very happy. What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"

Sasaki gently touched the woman's wine glass, his voice low and helpless:

“Perhaps, everyone’s destiny has its own predetermined trajectory, and I seem to be heading down a path I don’t want to take.”

The woman took a sip of wine, her eyes gentle but with a bit of insight:

"It is true that our destiny is often not ours to choose, but how to find our own color on the established trajectory is the direction we can work towards. Master Sasaki, although you are the protagonist tonight, you are also one of many characters, and each character has its own meaning and value."

Sasaki's heart was moved when he heard this. He had never thought that he would meet such a clear-sighted person in this seemingly glamorous banquet.

The woman's eyes were gentle and deep, as if they could penetrate Sasaki's smile and reach the abyss in his heart.

"In this environment full of calculations and transactions, it is a rare blessing to find someone who is willing to listen."

She looked around and then said, "My name is Chanel. Although I don't belong to any faction of the family here, I would be happy to be your friend if you are willing."

Sasaki smiled bitterly and introduced himself: "Just call me Sasaki, Ms. Chana, I am impressed by your temperament, which is completely different from the atmosphere here."

Chanel smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with wisdom: "Maybe it's because I don't belong here. I came to this party for family reasons, which are somewhat similar to you."

The conversation between Sasaki and Chana seemed to create a quiet little world in the noisy banquet hall.

The atmosphere between the two was relaxed and natural. Despite being surrounded by a bustling crowd, their souls seemed to have found a resonance.

"Ms. Chanel, you are right. We are just chess pieces on the family chessboard. Every step must be taken according to the established rules." There was a hint of fatigue in Sasaki's voice, but more of it was confusion and unwillingness about the future.

Kana shook her head slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Sasaki, although the chess pieces are limited to the chessboard, each move can also show different strategies and wisdom. The key lies in whether we are willing to find our own possibilities within the rules."

Sasaki nodded slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Ms. Chanel, I have benefited a lot from your words. Perhaps I should really try to accept it instead of resisting it blindly."

Chanel covered her mouth and smiled, "That's the best."

At this time, there was some noise outside the hall and a group of people walked in.

Among them was Sasaki's father, Koichi Sasaki, who was having a pleasant conversation with another middle-aged man of the same age.

Obviously these people should be from the Chang Teng family.

At this time, Sasaki also put down the cup and looked at them, looking for someone who might share his life with him in the future.
