Since the proposal was successful, the next steps would naturally be to complete the marriage registration procedures and plan the wedding.
The two of them brought their personal seals and relevant household registers to the marriage registration department.
"So, from today onwards, I'll be called Qing Nao," Nao Tsuda said with a smile.
"Qing Nao."
The Japanese pronunciation of this name is [AO Nao].
She read it again.
"I just feel like something's a bit off."
Mainly, both sounds end in 'O', so it sounds like singing. At first listen, it doesn't quite sound like a person's name.
"I'm still not used to it," Nao Tsuda said with a smile.
Aoki Haruhi held her hand, feeling that Nao Tsuda at this moment was truly adorable.
The Nao he knew before was both the same person and yet slightly different.
There was a faint blush of happiness on her face, and the expression of a little woman, revealed by her awkward pronunciation yet her determination to get used to the name because she wanted to marry Aoki Haruhi, was truly endearing.
He gently squeezed Nao Tsuda's palm and said with a smile, "It's okay, you don't have to change your surname. Just keep Nao Tsuda."
"Hm?" Tsuda looked up, her eyes like flowing autumn water.
"Compared to Qing Nao, I prefer the name Nao Tsuda," Aoki Haruhi said with a smile. "Besides, wouldn't changing your surname be bad for DUN Co., Ltd.?"
"Oh... that's true."
Nao Tsuda nodded, but then asked with a bit of unease, "Is it really okay? To keep my original surname?"
"Yes, I'm not that kind of person."
"Thank you, Zhiyuan Jun."
...
After filling out the marriage registration application and stamping it, their union was legally recognized, and they were officially considered husband and wife.
There were three copies of the marriage certificate.
One for official registration, one for backup (super thoughtful), and one for keepsake.
To be honest, neither of them felt it was real after leaving the government office.
The events of the past few days felt like a dream.
Hmm...
It seemed like something had changed.
But then again, it felt like nothing had changed.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Nao."
Aoki Haruhi turned around, holding Nao Tsuda's hands, facing her.
"Yes, Zhiyuan Jun," Nao Tsuda also composed her smile and responded to him seriously.
"Then, from today onwards, for the rest of our lives, please guide me well," Aoki Haruhi gently stepped back and bowed to Nao Tsuda.
"Okay, Zhiyuan Jun."
Nao Tsuda smiled very happily, also clasped her hands in front of her chest, and bowed to Aoki Haruhi.
"From today onwards, for the rest of our lives, please guide me well."
...
With the marriage registered, the next step was to plan the wedding.
Now that they knew each other's feelings and were already registered, they were not in such a hurry.
According to Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda's views on marriage, a wedding didn't need to be grand.
As long as it was comfortable and happy, inviting a few good friends would be enough.
For Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda, after losing their parents, marriage was inherently a matter between the two of them.
They originally wanted to keep it low-key, but considering their respective statuses and the potential impact their marriage might have on the future of their companies, they decided to make the matter public.
Thus, Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda jointly held a wedding press conference.
...
"Nani?! Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda are getting married?!"
When they heard this news, the reporters were stunned.
Many media reporters rushed to the press conference venue to secure their spots as soon as they received the news.
Their announcement was also very sudden, giving the media only about a day's notice.
When Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda appeared at the press conference.
The entire venue was already packed with people.
Various camera flashes went off, wildly snapping photos of the two.
It was Aoki Haruhi's first time seeing such a grand spectacle; this was even more massive than the Sony press conference he had attended before.
Aoki Haruhi himself couldn't quite understand it. "We launched an association that could change the entire game world, such a huge event, and there weren't this many reporters and audience members present."
"A wedding, and so many of you show up."
How much gossip is this?
After all that, the private lives of big company heads are more worth paying attention to, is that it?
Click, click, click, click, click...
The flashes were continuous, with every media outlet wanting to capture the sweet moment of the two appearing hand-in-hand today.
The reason so many people came was actually easy to understand.
DUN Co., Ltd.'s current market value is nearly 800 billion Japanese yen, which is equivalent to over 8 billion US dollars.
As the president of DUN Co., Ltd., Nao Tsuda's shareholding wasn't that high, around 28%.
But her total net worth had already exceeded 3 billion US dollars.
This was an astronomical figure in 1995.
And on Aoki Haruhi's side, although Pokeni had not gone public and had never disclosed its financial situation, based on their marketing, it could be estimated that Pokeni was currently worth at least over 1 billion US dollars.
Once such a company went public, it would multiply several times over.
Both were big figures in their respective fields, and both Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda were incredibly attractive.
Today, Aoki Haruhi wore a black suit, which made his already clean and fair complexion appear even more radiant and smooth. His facial features were well-defined and full, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, making him very pleasing to the eye.
Nao Tsuda, on the other hand, wore a white mini-skirt, a departure from her usual capable businesswoman appearance.
After taking off her suit and putting on a beautiful dress, Nao Tsuda looked radiant.
She could even be described as stunningly beautiful.
If you didn't know their identities, you would most likely think they were two big celebrities.
Given Nao Tsuda's attire and appearance today, you simply couldn't imagine that she was the president of a blue film company, and that she was already 35 years old this year.
The reporters clicked their cameras, and admiration was evident on everyone's faces.
They looked at Aoki Haruhi, then at Nao Tsuda.
For a moment, they didn't know whom to envy.
...
The most unexpected thing was—
How could DUN Co., Ltd., a company involved in the blue film industry, end up with someone who makes game?
There seemed to be no connection between the two, right?
"Terrifying. DUN Co., Ltd. and Pokeni are basically big companies worth over a billion US dollars. For the presidents of two such companies to get together, how terrifying would that be!"
"Yeah, who would have thought that these two could get together."
"It feels more like some form of business marriage, right? Just to make their respective companies more closely integrated, to form a larger monopoly effect, and to consider the future of the company, that's why they got married.
I can only guess that."
"Mm-hmm, that's very likely. Because before, whether it was Aoki Haruhi or Nao Tsuda, there were no related media reports.
It was also rare to see them together."
"Ah, it's truly enviable," a female reporter sighed. "Whether you put yourself in Aoki Haruhi's shoes or Nao Tsuda's, it feels absolutely perfect."
"Yeah, if you separate them, marrying Aoki Haruhi or marrying Nao Tsuda would instantly make you successful.
You wouldn't have to worry about the rest of your life at all.
But they chose to combine their strengths."
"Eh? I'm different. I don't envy them at all. What I envy more is their child.
Think about it, Nao Tsuda is already 35 years old.
She probably can only have one child.
Then this child will be born with a silver spoon in its mouth, coming into this world.
Upon birth, it will become the future heir of Pokeni and DUN Co., Ltd..
Even if it doesn't have to make any effort in its life, it can live a life like heaven."
"Ah! That's true! Your way of thinking is amazing."
"But, have you ever thought, what if the two of them never have children in this life?"
A voice emerged from among the reporters.
It shocked everyone who could hear it.
"Wow, I really hadn't thought about that problem."
"If there's no heir, wow, that's hundreds of billions! Would they donate it all?"
"Terrifying, don't think about it. This isn't something people like us, who earn a few tens of thousands, can think about."
...
After the press conference began, Aoki Haruhi, holding Nao Tsuda, bowed to the media cameras.
Then, holding the prepared speech, he began to read.
"To everyone who has always supported me, supported Nao Tsuda.
And supported Pokeni and DUN Co., Ltd..
Thank you all for your continuous support.
This time, I, Aoki Haruhi, have registered my marriage."
He looked up, his eyes full of deep affection, and gazed at Nao Tsuda beside him.
The latter smiled at him, her eyes encouraging, standing firmly by his side.
"Originally, this matter was a private affair between Nao and me.
There was no need to occupy public resources.
However, upon careful thought, we are not just two individuals, Aoki Haruhi and Nao Tsuda. We also bear the fate of many people and many enterprises.
Therefore, after much consideration, we finally decided to hold this press conference."
"Tsuda and I met through work, and we have been together for five years now.
Tsuda is my strategist at work, giving me many very useful suggestions.
She is also family, always by my side.
More importantly, she is my lifelong soulmate; I can hardly imagine life without Tsuda.
Based on these reasons, I proposed to Tsuda.
And she responded to me very well.
So, for a person like me, this must be the greatest fortune in the world.
Hmm."
Aoki Haruhi nodded firmly and forcefully, then smiled.
"Therefore, under these circumstances, we have registered our marriage and become official husband and wife. As for when to hold the wedding, that is something to consider in the future."
"Please continue to support us, thank you everyone!"
Flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash...
All the flashes in the room simultaneously lit up.
Like countless stars in the sky.
Seeing this scene, Aoki Haruhi turned his head and gazed at Nao Tsuda.
Fortunately, Miss Moon is by my side.
Nothing could be more dazzling than her.
...
Next, it was Nao Tsuda's turn to speak.
She also began with a long speech of thanks.
Nao Tsuda said, "Thank you all, and also thank you, Mr. Aoki Haruhi.
My first impression of Mr. Aoki Haruhi was at a game investment tender at DUN Co., Ltd..
At that time, Mr. Aoki approached us with a proposal called 'onmyoji'.
After reviewing the proposal, I immediately decided to invest in this little-known company.
Later, as everyone saw.
onmyoji is a very good game.
In it, we see the love between the male and female protagonists, and we also shed tears when the female protagonist leaves.
The first time I read the proposal, I felt that Mr. Aoki Haruhi was a very meticulous and emotional person.
But after many interactions, that perception was overturned."
At this point, Nao Tsuda herself laughed.
And everyone in the audience laughed along.
"Emmm... how to put it, Mr. Aoki Haruhi exhibits a very captivating and charming state in his work, but sometimes in life, he can be a little bit careless.
He doesn't always pay attention to many things or people's feelings.
More often, he gives me the feeling of being as passionate and driven as a young man."
Yes, Nao Tsuda still remembered the first time she took Aoki Haruhi to dinner with Hattori Hiroyuki and his colleagues; this young and handsome boy refused to back down at all, giving off a somewhat foolish impression.
"But perhaps I was attracted by this very quality.
I don't know why myself, but being with Mr. Aoki Haruhi truly makes me happy.
During our time together, I can feel boundless love from him.
He peels back my cold and strong facade layer by layer, just like the quilt in 'Quilt Man', carefully cherishing and warming me.
In this world, only in front of Mr. Aoki Haruhi can I be a little woman again.
That is enough.
I think, this is the person for me for this lifetime."
Tears shimmered in Nao Tsuda's eyes. She looked to the side, her gaze seemingly transcending a thousand years.
Such an enchanting love.
"Thank you for being you, thank you for being willing to spend the rest of your life with me."
Nao Tsuda smiled.
...
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap...
After the two officially announced their marriage, a thunderous applause erupted, and everyone silently sent their blessings.
It was so enviable and moving.
That these two could come together.
After their speeches, the two also provided some explanations, which had been discussed and agreed upon beforehand.
At the same time.
Even before the press conference ended.
The news had already spread throughout Japan.
No one had expected that the president of DUN Co., Ltd. would get together with the president of Pokeni.
And that the two were so perfectly matched.
The market reacted sharply to this.
As if to congratulate them on their successful marriage registration.
DUN Co., Ltd.'s market value suddenly jumped several points, soaring!
It went crazy!
