After firing Shimamura, the "TYPE-MOON" studio faced a period of chasing a deadline.
In order to make "Tomoyo AS" be released as scheduled, Kato Yusuke led the entire art department and launched an awesome and exciting mode.
Although I really want to say this, there are still too many art resources that need to be modified, and it is difficult for them to complete it with their limited manpower.
Kato Yusuke carefully reviewed the workload and felt that it would most likely be delayed if things continued like this, so he decided to start recruiting many familiar original animators to help.
Among them were Mr. Matsubara Hozumi, who had collaborated with him on the illustrations of "Metronome of Love", as well as original animators whom he had come into contact with during outsourcing work. Even Suzuki, the editor-in-chief of the Immortal River Comics Department, enthusiastically introduced many people.
But when it comes to the person with the biggest celebrity status, it still has to be a certain little aunt.
After hearing that he was being teased, Akane Benisaka contacted him immediately and generously offered to help.
Although Kato Yusuke was happy, he also felt a little sore in his balls.
Although this little aunt came to help, she did not miss this opportunity to add insult to injury. She ridiculed him severely and teased him for his poor taste in people.
Kato Yusuke couldn't do anything out of the ordinary in front of everyone, so he could only concentrate on his work.
This was the first time many people had come into close contact with Akane Benisaka herself. A group of creators came to admire her style with great curiosity, and even people from Jun Matsumoto's team were not immune.
Although Akane Kurisaka's reputation in the circle is not very good, as long as she is a creator, there is no one who does not respect her achievements and status.
She is like a benchmark in the industry, symbolizing the ultimate form that all creators are chasing, and it is fascinating.
all in all.
With the joining of many helpers, the originally lagging work progress suddenly made rapid progress. In just three days, all the art resources were completed.
Yoshida and Mishima Yuha quickly replaced the art resources, checked for bugs, and finally met the deadline for the game's release.
The two busy painters couldn't help but panic when they saw the situation developing so smoothly.
They originally followed Jun Matsumoto's instructions and deliberately delayed the work while trying to delay the game.
As a result, Kato Yusuke suddenly found so many powerful foreign aids, and Blood Mother carried a wave, which immediately highlighted what useless pig teammates the two of them were.
The two of them could only shrink their heads and secretly pray that their little moves were not discovered.
But can things really go as they wish?
After thanking all the helpers, Kato Yusuke turned around and began to deal with internal problems.
He carefully inspected all the recent original paintings, and immediately discovered the flaws in them, and without mercy, he fired these two insiders who were holding him back.
In fact, ever since Yinglili raised this issue with him, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
How can there be such a coincidence in this world? Just after he fired Shimamura, the quality of the art department's work plummeted.
It would be fine if Shimamura had Akane Benisaka's level, but that person's level is not even as good as Sagara Mayu who he personally brought up. How can he be so awesome?
The two painters were completely panicked when they heard his decision. They could only look at Jun Matsumoto for help, hoping that the boss would stand up and say something.
They had always followed Jun Matsumoto's orders, so if something happened now they would naturally look for him.
Matsumoto Jun caught their eyes and had to bite the bullet and ask for mercy.
"Boss, please calm down first. Their painting skills are not very stable, but they can still do it. Our company is in the midst of hiring people now, so why not give them some time to grow?"
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sneer.
Unstable painting skills?
What kind of bullshit reason is this?
He stared at the two people closely and asked coldly:
"What? Do you two think the work assigned to you by the company is difficult? Tell me, do you know how to trace or color? Do you want me to teach you these most basic things?"
The two painters were submissive and could not say a word.
The main reason is that the jobs they received did not have any technical content, and there was no question of whether they were good at painting or not.
If they weren't intentionally causing harm, they wouldn't have been able to paint it so horribly. On the contrary, how to do it without being seen by others was what gave them even more headaches.
The two of them hung their heads and were completely silent.
Kato Yusuke glanced at everyone present, and every member of Jun Matsumoto's faction who met his gaze lowered his head unconsciously, for fear of getting into trouble at this moment.
——Unfortunately, this has no effect.
He announced calmly: "I told Richard before that if anyone dares to make small moves after Shimamura, the entire team will sit down together, so you are all fired now, pack your things and prepare to leave."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
The two painters were confused, Matsumoto Jun was confused, and the others were also confused.
They really didn't expect Kato Yusuke to be so cruel, let alone that he would be so decisive and would fire so many people if they disagreed!
Logically speaking, the leader of a company is more concerned about the overall situation, and would not easily cause such major personnel changes even for the sake of overall stability.
It's a pity that they underestimated Kato Yusuke's determination.
For this group of old fritters who are always passive and disobedient, he would rather lose 800 yuan to let them get out as soon as possible!
It can only be said that this group of people still don't understand their position, and they think they have been poached and want to be special. However, Yusuke Kato has an indifferent attitude towards them.
He is a copycat who can come up with plans and plans by himself, so how can he be easily hindered by others?
Are you trying to play office politics with him by going against the rules again and again? Do you really think the earth would stop spinning without you?
Kato Yusuke was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked Kano-chan and Megumi to terminate their jobs on the spot.
Hasumi Kanoko bit her lip lightly, glanced at the group of moles who were still in a dazed state, said nothing, and went to prepare the procedures with Hui.
They quickly obtained the "Severance Agreement" and the "Confidentiality Agreement" and placed the two documents in front of the corresponding people one by one, waiting for their signatures.
This group of people did not respond, and all looked at Matsumoto Jun, feeling a little at a loss.
There was silence in the entire office, and the atmosphere was so solemn that people didn't even dare to take a breath.
Matsumoto Jun finally realized the seriousness of the problem, his expression kept changing, and he forced a smile and said: "Boss, is this punishment too much? Do you want to think about it again?"
Kato Yusuke turned his head and nodded as if he just remembered something, "Indeed, I almost forgot, you were also fired, Richard."
Matsumoto Jun was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he heard wrongly, and he didn't react for a long time.
On the contrary, all the people under his command were ashen-faced, and they completely recognized the reality and gave up on their frivolous behavior.
Others have even fired their boss, so what do they mean to these little minions?
In fact, from the moment Kato Yusuke began to rectify internal problems, he had already decided to cut off the cancer of Matsumoto Jun.
As the saying goes, to shoot a man first, shoot a horse; to capture a thief, capture the king first.
If he only fires two painters this time and does not deal with Jun Matsumoto, there is no guarantee that other problems will not arise next time. Not only will the symptoms be treated but not the root cause, but there will be endless troubles.
He didn't want to waste time on meaningless internal fighting and playing tricks, so he naturally wanted to solve the problem from the source.
Faced with his murderous attitude, Matsumoto Jun finally reacted, knowing that the matter could not be resolved, and his brain started spinning at high speed.
Now that the skin has been completely broken, it is useless to say anything at this point. The only thing we can do is strive for maximum benefits.
So he pondered and said:
"Okay, boss, since you have made up your mind, we have nothing to say. We can fire you, but because you gave us a short notice and did not give us 30 days' notice in advance, according to the law, you need to give us one month's financial compensation to tide us over.
Buffer period.”
Kato Yusuke was shocked. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such shameless people.
He turned to look at Hasumi Kanoko, wanting to confirm the authenticity of this matter. The latter reluctantly nodded to him in affirmation.
According to Japanese labor law, companies must have a 30-day notice period if they want to fire employees, otherwise they must provide compensation for the corresponding number of days.
Kato Yusuke looked livid, knowing that he had to take this loss, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, then follow the standards stipulated by the law. You can sign now."
Matsumoto Jun shook his head and said:
"In addition, including the previous Shimamura, you also need to issue us a resignation certificate, and you cannot write in information that we do not require, such as performance evaluation, reason for resignation, salary, etc.
Only when we receive severance pay and a certificate of resignation at the same time can we sign the "No Objection to Termination Agreement", otherwise we have the right to apply for labor arbitration."
Kato Yusuke was so angry that he laughed. Not only did this man not mention his ulterior motives, he even packaged himself as a victim. It was so shameless!
He sneered and nodded, instructing Kanoko Hasumi to issue retirement certificates and pay severance pay to these people, and then threw a pen to Matsumoto Jun.
"Okay, everything you want is here, sign it now, and then take your people and get out."
Jun Matsumoto carefully checked the resignation certificate and the money, and after confirming that they were correct, he smiled and took the lead in signing the "No Objection to Resignation Agreement" and the "Confidentiality Agreement."
Seeing that their boss had signed, the others also took action, and there was a flurry of signatures and seals in the office.
After finishing this, a group of people returned to their respective workstations to pack up their personal belongings and return all their passes.
Jun Matsumoto held his cardboard box and suddenly stopped when he walked to the door. He turned around and looked at Yusuke Kato in the office from a distance, and finally nodded with a smile.
"President Kato, I'm glad to be able to work with you during this period of time. We have a long way to go, and I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
Ignoring the ugly expressions on Kato Yusuke's and others' faces, he left with great satisfaction after saying this.
…
In the evening of the same day, the matter of Jun Matsumoto was dealt with.
Hasumi Kanoko called Kato Yusuke to her apartment and wanted to cook for him after a long absence.
Kato Yusuke could vaguely guess what she was thinking, so he didn't refuse and readily agreed.
The two of them bought ingredients together at a nearby shopping street, and then returned to the apartment hand in hand. Hasumi Kanoko started preparing dinner.
Kato Yusuke had nothing to do and originally wanted to help with the attack, but was severely rejected by the other party.
Hasumi Kanoko changed from her usual meekness and became more determined than ever before, as if she was stubborn about something and had no room for negotiation.
Kato Yusuke sighed secretly and simply let her go.
I just watched TV for a while to kill the time, and dinner was ready.
Hasumi Kanoko cooked a large table of sumptuous dishes, basically everything he liked to eat, giving him a great feast.
Kato Yusuke finished his dinner and lazily leaned on the sofa to eat.
Hasumi Kanoko made him a cup of coffee, while she took a can of Suntory's STRONG ZERO and sat down next to him.
Kato Yusuke looked at the fruit wine in her hand, pretending to be frivolous and teasing: "Wouldn't it be too lacking in a sense of crisis to drink directly in front of men?"
Hasumi Kanoko shook her head, "Pfft~" and pulled the ring open with a sound, brought the fruit wine to her mouth and took a big sip, sighing gloomily.
"...I'm sorry about designer Matsumoto. If I hadn't insisted on poaching them, perhaps what happened today wouldn't have happened."
Kato Yusuke's words stopped for a moment, and his thoughts finally came to him.
Just as he had guessed, Hasumi Kanoko felt guilty about Matsumoto Jun's incident and placed all the blame on herself.
He thought for a moment, and then spoke out the draft he had prepared long ago.
Not to mention that he didn't think Kano-chan was at fault, even if she was wrong, it was still his responsibility.
Okanoi was manipulated by Matsumoto Jun because of his kindness, and he failed to fix this flaw in time, allowing others to take advantage of him.
In fact, the last time Jun Matsumoto skipped Kano Okano and reported directly to him, his behavior was very problematic.
Cross-level reporting is taboo in the workplace, especially in Japan. There are only two possibilities for Jun Matsumoto to dare to do this.
One, he didn't take Kano-chan seriously at all.
Second, he is used to the customs in the West and thinks this kind of thing is no big deal.
But no matter which one it was, Kato Yusuke was very angry, so he reminded Matsumoto Jun that time.
It seems now that his attitude at that time was still too mild.
Hasumi Kanoko listened to his comfort, rested her head on his shoulder, and murmured gloomily:
"...But you told me a long time ago that poaching this team is not necessarily a good thing. I am too stubborn."
Kato Yusuke shook his head, "One code is another code. You only have good intentions. You just blame the bad people we met. Let's take it as a lesson."
Hasumi Kanoko took another sip of wine and spoke in a very depressed tone.
"...I feel that I am still not suitable for management work. Do you want to find someone more professional? Can you let me step down and be your little secretary?"
"..."
Kato Yusuke looked into her eyes and didn't find any teasing in them, only deep guilt and calmness after careful consideration, as if to prove that these words were not made on a whim.
He couldn't help but feel a little silent, and then said with a little reflection: "I'm sorry, it was my lack of consideration that put too much pressure on you. I will handle this matter as soon as possible."
Hasumi Kanoko strongly denied:
"No, this has nothing to do with you, it's just that I'm not good at management.
The previous studio was small, so it was nothing, but the studio will definitely gradually grow and expand in the future, and we will meet all kinds of people, so I am a little overwhelmed."
Kato Yusuke was about to speak when a "click" sound suddenly came from the entrance.
Turn around and look.
For some reason, Shiyu had the key to the apartment in her hand, so she naturally put on her slippers and walked in.
Seeing them cuddling together, she didn't seem surprised at all. She sat down on the single sofa next to her, raised her eyes and asked:
"...Have you two finished talking? Do you want me to go to the next room for a while?"
Hasumi Kanoko shook her head slightly, as if she was not surprised that Shiyu would appear here, and said: "No, Xiaoshi, you came at the right time. Thank you for agreeing to my request."
"...It's a shame that you made such an unreasonable request to me. This is the first time in my life that I have heard such a ridiculous thing."
"Well, I understand. I will remember this kindness well. You can command me to do anything at any time."
"...I really can't stand you. I told my family that I will stay at a friend's house for a study meeting today. Please remember to help me get through when my family calls."
"OK."
The two of them were asking and answering questions as if they were secret agents, and everything that came out of their mouths was incomprehensible.
Kato Yusuke looked confused and had no idea what was going on. He looked at the two of them alternately and asked incomprehensibly:
"Uh, Xiao Shi, Xiao Kano, what are you talking about...?"
Facing his inquiry, Shiyu blushed slightly and glanced at him extremely displeased, then stood up and walked to the bathroom, "...Then I'll take a shower first. Xiaokano, you can explain it to him yourself."
Kato Yusuke was even more confused.
He turned to look at Hasumi Kanoko and found that she was also blushing in confusion. She shyly came up to her and whispered softly: "...I asked Xiaoshi, and we will accompany you together today."
Um--??????
Kato Yusuke's breathing was stagnant, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. He opened his mouth blankly, feeling that his mind was blank.
No matter how firm his will was, he was still shocked and speechless by this shocking news at this moment.
Kato Yusuke considers himself not a man with sperm in his brain, but faced with this fatal temptation, he still swallowed his saliva involuntarily, feeling like he had made a profit.
Compared with the current blessings of the people, what does Matsumoto Jun's affairs mean? It's just a bloody profit, isn't it?
Seeing Kanoko's sudden hot gaze, Hassan couldn't help lowering her head, blushing slightly and whispering: "...I'll go prepare your pajamas first, and when Xiaoshi comes out, you can take a shower."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away in a panic.
Kato Yusuke looked at her hurried back, his heart beating loudly.
