Chapter 164 Baichuan-kun, let me lend you your left hand.
"Sanbian-san, I believe you know what to say and what not to say."
A black suit, a pointed tone, and a family photo spinning in his hand.
The bright sunshine was shining right in front of his desk, even within his reach, but Yusuke Mikata felt as cold as ice.
Every time the photo rotates, the light reflected by it sweeps across his face, making his heart beat faster.
He glanced again at the expressionless staff at the desk and Takagi shivering in the corner.
There was deathly silence in Mikata Yusuke's eyes. He lowered his head slightly and said, "Hai."
After receiving a positive answer, several staff members nodded, then stood up and walked to the door, filing out.
"President..." Takagi's trembling voice came from the corner.
Yusuke Mikata stood up and looked around carefully at the office he had stayed in for nearly ten years.
Everything remains as before.
"Let's go" Yusuke Mikata fastened his buttons, adjusted his tie, and then walked towards the door with a nonchalant expression.
Takagi hesitated for a while, and finally when he thought of the expressions on the staff members' faces that they were keeping away from others, he followed the three parties' footsteps honestly.
In front of the main gate of Aihua Co., Ltd.'s headquarters, Yusuke Mikata walked to the front of the queue amid flashing lights.
“Red Bean Snake Marseille”
Swish, everyone in Aihua moved in unison, bending down and bowing their heads.
"Aihua's decisions are all made by me alone. I have betrayed the trust of all employees of the club and acted my own way.
This ultimately led to today’s predicament…”
Looking at the always prestigious President Sang in front of him, he looked humble and pleading at this moment.
Takagi felt chills in his heart, thinking that he would never have a place here again.
In a state of confusion, Takagi didn't know how he stepped off the stage or how he survived this day.
With the open collar and messy hair, Takagi didn't even bother to clean them up.
After coming out of the company, he walked to the vending machine at the roadside alley as usual and inserted coins.
"Clang"
After unscrewing the mouth of the bottle, Takagi raised his head and drank the beer.
The neon lights at night made his face flicker in and out, and the sound of passing cars on the roadside quickly approached and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Takagi sighed slightly, where else could he go except Aihua.
I'll probably see myself in tomorrow's newspaper. In that case, I might no longer have a place in Tokyo.
If it doesn't work out, go back to your hometown in Hokkaido and plant potatoes. Although the weather is colder, there is more work on the farm and pasture.
But it was the place where he was born and raised. The snow on Mount Yotei must not have melted yet, and the water in Lake Toya must still be blue and thick.
Takagi, who still had memories of his hometown in his mind, just put down the bottle of wine, and was startled by the scene in front of him.
"You...are...did you find the wrong person?"
"Takagi-san, right? I, Ota, would like to say a few words. Is it convenient for you, Takagi-san?"
Takagi wanted to say it was inconvenient, but there were so many shadows in the dark alley, and he didn't know how many people were hiding there.
So suppressing the fear in his heart, Takagi nodded tremblingly. "Everyone, I am just an honest employee and a good citizen."
"Don't worry" Ohta smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "We're just chatting about work, don't be so nervous."
I believe you, Takagi, whose legs were a little weak, was half-stretched by two tall figures, one on the left and one on the right, and disappeared from the alley.
…
Shortly after the tripartite talks between Shirakawa Electric, Sony, and Aihua, Aiwa's former president Yusuke Mibebe led all the company's top executives to publicly apologize in front of many media.
Yusuke Mikata took full responsibility alone and resigned as president that day.
The successor of the new president is Heitaro Nakajima, the former director of Sony Audio Research Institute. He announced at the press conference of Yusuke Mibeta that he would take over the position of president Aihua.
Shirakawa Electric and Sony also issued announcements one after another, expressing their willingness to make their own contributions to the progress of the industry.
At the same time, in order to better communicate with peers on technology, Shirakawa Electric and Sony announced that they would organize delegations to visit each other in April every year.
A small product exhibition is also held to allow personnel from both parties to experience their respective products to further strengthen mutual exchanges and communication.
At this point, the "Walkman plagiarism incident" has come to an end, and Shirakawa Electric and Aihua Co., Ltd. finally reached an out-of-court settlement.
Aihua Co., Ltd. publicly apologized for the incident and compensated Shirakawa Electric 500 million yen to make up for its losses.
The hot-button incident that caused quite a stir finally subsided.
And Bai Chuanfeng, who has been working hard for more than half a year, finally put aside the club affairs today and traveled lightly.
Naturally, with him is our energetic Asuka-chan.
"Tsk, Xiaolin-san looks young and invincible."
Kaede Shirakawa, who was used to seeing her in professional attire, was really surprised when he saw Asuka Kobayashi in casual clothes.
A thin white women's shirt with a light green bow on the collar looks fashionable and a bit smart and playful.
As for the lower body, a mint-colored short skirt was tied lightly around her slender waist. The warm wind blew by, and a touch of whiteness passed by her eyes and flew to the top of her heart.
Hey, it's so white that it makes Bai Chuanfeng feel a little dazzled.
"Shirakawa-kun, are you ready?" Asuka Kobayashi clasped her hands behind her back, swaying and smiling sweetly.
"Hai" Shirakawa Kaede is also wearing regular clothes today, and the suit she usually wore at that time was replaced by a light-colored shirt.
The lower body is also made of plain casual pants and eye-catching white shoes.
Today, the two of them look like college students.
One is incomparably beautiful and the other is handsome.
But don't get me wrong, they are not planning to travel together, but to meet a fat classmate.
It turns out that I should have gone to the appointment at the beginning of the month, but because of Aihua's matter, I have been stumbling until today, and I just made time.
The two got on the subway station and arrived at the agreed upon location, Ikebukuro Station, in just twenty minutes.
Coming out of the east exit, before Bai Chuanfeng could appreciate the prosperity here, his attention was attracted by a fat man waving not far away.
"Shirakawa-kun, here!" Satoru Iwata, wearing a short-sleeved and considerate shirt, stretched out his fleshy arms and greeted him vigorously.
"Iwata-kun, you're here so early?" Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka walked over with a smile.
"Uh" Seeing Asuka Kobayashi next to Shirakawa, the smile on Satoru Iwata's face slowly solidified.
He glanced at the empty seat next to him, then looked at the pair of Bai Chuanfeng, and silently put away his smile.
Why did Shirakawa-kun bring his girlfriend here? Isn’t the computer the final destination of boys?
Iwata Satoru feels that Shirakawa Kaede has not yet found the true meaning of life. This is not because he is single.
"I have just arrived, Shirakawa-kun, let's go." Satoru Iwata said hello to Asuka Kobayashi again, then turned around and led the way to the department store not far away.
Last time at Tokyo Polytechnic University, he and Asuka Kobayashi also met, so they didn't feel too unfamiliar.
Seibu Department Store can be said to be the base where Satoru Iwata learned computer knowledge.
From a distance, it doesn't look very impressive. It's a long row of buildings, probably more than ten stories high.
There is a signboard with white letters on a blue background on the roof of the building, "SEIBU".
This was their destination today. Under the leadership of Satoru Iwata, Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka also went straight to the digital product area upstairs.
Unlike the dazzling digital products of later generations, the products in the counter area selling electronic products at this time were relatively less fancy.
Most of them are common electronic products such as digital cameras, cassette players, record players, walkmans, calculators, and electronic watches.
In the PC computer sales area, it was much more lively, with several young figures gathered around and discussing something excitedly.
"Tanimura-kun" Satoru Iwata greeted me warmly from far away. He comes here often and is familiar with the shop assistants here.
"So it's Iwata-kun." A young man in his twenties behind the counter raised his head, saw it was Satoru Iwata and said hello with a smile.
"Let me introduce you to everyone." Satoru Iwata pulled Shirakawa Kaede beside him, "This is Shirakawa Kaede-san, a student at Meiji University and a game master.
He is also very proficient in computers, so I brought him over today to get to know you."
"Bai Chuanfeng, please take care of me." Bai Chuanfeng greeted these young people generously.
In fact, he is said to be a young man, but he himself seems to be the youngest among them.
Except for two students who looked like they had just graduated from high school, the others in the crowd were all young people in their twenties, and Shirakawa Kaede was considered the youngest.
However, everyone's focus was not on Shirakawa Kaede. Their eyes frequently turned to Kobayashi Asuka next to Shirakawa Kaede.
