Chapter 179 Face

At dinner time, Miyazaki Ryui knew his boss’s marketplace preferences, so he made an advance reservation at a Korean barbecue restaurant frequented by ordinary salarymen.

The dining environment was average and not high class, but the atmosphere was good. Not to mention that he knew in his heart of hearts that the boss really wanted to go to a high-class restaurant to eat a anything, it was not something that could be done at any time.

Two people in a position by the window is sitting down face to face. Miyazaki Ryui, who was already able to speak a relatively fluent Korean, ordered after consulting the boss.

“Since we’re having Korean barbecue, let’s do as the normal Koreans do and have a drink of Korea’s most famous popular Zenro Soju.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a light smile.

Miyazaki Ryui understood, and directly had the shopkeeper bring them a dozen twelve bottles of soju. He picked up a bottle of soju with his right hand, unscrewed the cap with his left hand, and took the initiative to stand up and pour the liquor towards the owner’s empty glass.

“Sit down, don’t draw attention to yourself.” Justice Kishimoto was speaking as a friend.

Miyazaki Ryui was no longer a fledgling brat. Whether it was in society or in the workplace, he had been mixing for so many years, and there were definitely a lot of lessons to be learned.

Past the age of twenty-five, he especially had a completely different feeling about society than in the past. Their social experience in the increase at the same time, people also little by little began to become mature.

In his opinion, when the boss said that, he was being polite to himself. If he took it seriously, he would be very foolish and naive.

Miyazaki Ryui filled a glass of wine for his boss, then sat down and poured wine into his empty glass. After he had finished pouring, he set the bottle aside and did not dare to raise his glass.

Masayoshi Kishimoto felt some significant changes in him and said, “I know that you are not happy in your heart, and you have a little emotion. I understand that.

Although you have grown, you still need to practice and experience more. Otherwise, how can I feel comfortable entrusting a subsidiary to your charge in the future?”

Hearing this, Miyazaki Ryui was as energized as if he had been pumped with chicken blood, “My life was saved by the boss in the first place. If you arrange for me to go there, I will go there, no second thoughts.”

“I now give you a bottom as a friend, not as a boss. You’d better go to San Francisco, USA to take over from Kiyoshi Kobayashi.

You’ll be practicing over there for another one, two, or two or three years. I’ll make a consolidation of the Internet companies I invest in in the future.

The president of Hard Gold Network may be you. If you really can’t wait and feel that there’s no face for you, you can come back to Tokyo as the head of the planning department or start working on the future Hard Gold Entertainment Company.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he picked up his glass and downed half of it.

“Boss, you’re not playing with me, are you? That’s not what you told me in the car. You’re giving me the choice of either staying in Seoul or going to San Francisco?” Miyazaki Ryui said in disbelief that this could be true.

Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the wine glass in his hand and said, “So you haven’t forgotten what I said! Other people ask for a promotion for a good raise, while you ask for a promotion for face.”

“Money or not, I really don’t care too much. I originally joined the company at the same time as Ota Ashitaka, and was known as one of the two oldest members of the company during its infancy.

After our company became a conglomerate, even Rumiko Kato, a subordinate of Ota’s and my junior, became the head of the company’s headquarters, meaning that she and I are now on equal footing.

What will people in the company think of me in the future? I’m afraid that the juniors will then feel in their hearts that following me won’t have any future to speak of.” Miyazaki Ryui didn’t hide anything and said what he really thought.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was able to fully understand this kind of worry of his and said, “Who told you that Rumiko Kato would be the head of the division?”

“Everyone is spreading the word around here.” Miyazaki Ryui was able to hear quite a bit of what was going on over in Tokyo, Japan even though he was in Seoul, Korea said.

“I’m going to send Rumiko Kato to Hong Kong, China to set up an office, what do you think?” Masayoshi Kishimoto at first wanted to establish an office in Hong Kong as a bridgehead position to forge ahead into the Chinese mainland market, but was denied by Kiyoshi Kobayashi.

Of course, the other party had said N reasons that were solid. Therefore, he put this matter on hold for a long time. Nowadays, he sort of revisited the old matter and said.

“Then I have even less face.” Miyazaki Ryui blurted out.

Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I see that your whole life is all about living for your own face. Even if they’re all offices, there’s still a difference between high and low.”

“That’s true, but I’m afraid an outsider wouldn’t see it that way. My parents inside my family are proud of me. I’ve also become a good example to the neighbors in the neighborhood for educating their respective children.

They were told to study hard and get into a good university so that they could enter a good company, receive a high salary like me, be valued by their bosses, and have an unlimited future.” Miyazaki Ryui had a word to say.

Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed a little. With these words from the other party, it was as if he had become, in the mouths of parents, someone else’s child.

He said with the mindset that he was just chatting with a friend, “You! How everything to your parents say?”

“At first, I didn’t want them to worry about me. As you know, people who work outside the home are always reporting good news but not bad news to their parents at home.

Even if they are obviously not doing well, or even suffering, they still have to pretend that they are doing well outside. Who would have guessed that once things start, they don’t end well.

Thus, I had to increase the leverage of reporting good news over and over again, causing them to be misled by me and create the illusion that my son had become so good.” Miyazaki Ryui said matter-of-factly.

“You’re considered one of the best among your peers.” Justice Kishimoto commented objectively.

“It depends on what one is compared to? Compared to you, Boss, I’m the faint light of a glowing fire, while you’re the sun with ten thousand rays of light.”

Of course, Miyazaki Ryui knew in his heart that he was indeed considered to be one of the outstanding ones among his peers. Even from Waseda University graduated from the same classmates, there are few people who are better than him.

His age of twenty-seven, eight years old has already become a good company headquarters section chief level. However, he was self-aware and said.

“It’s good that you’re not proud. Have you decided, will you stay in Seoul or go to San Francisco?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said approvingly.

“Boss, you flatter me. What’s so good about Seoul? Eight out of ten women have various degrees of plastic surgery. I’d rather go to San Francisco!

There are so many white western chicks in America, and I can also open western food every day. The most important thing is that they are not obsessed with plastic surgery and love of money like Korean women.” Miyazaki Ryui laughed.

“There are plenty of black chicks in America too! Once you turn off the lights, she’s bound to be impossible to find as long as she doesn’t smile with her teeth showing.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a meaningful smile.
