Chapter 347: Lunch Together
Watanabe Saki was deeply moved by this trip, and her heart was in a state that was difficult to calm for a long time. In the past, when she, Sakai Rie, and Sato Ryoumi first entered the Tokyo University of the Arts, they were all pretty much the same.
It is not good or bad, after all, all belong to the children of middle-class families. The only difference was that there was an upper, middle and lower class.
Nowadays, the three of them are already worlds apart. Comparing herself to Sakai Rie, she was running on the ground, while the other was flying in the sky, and getting higher and higher.
Comparing herself to Sato Ryoumi, even if she was still running on the ground, she was still able to see the bright sunlight and smell the fresh air.
The latter had already drilled into the ground to live below the surface, and would no longer have the chance to see the sunlight above the ground and smell the fresh air.
After Watanabe Saki and Sakai Rie parted ways, she took the initiative to call Kishimoto Masayoshi and invite him to have lunch with her.
She thought that since her best friend wasn’t willing to do this one favor, she would have to go ahead and find the main man.
Masayoshi Kishimoto agreed, partly for Rie Sakai’s sake, and partly because they were both from the same town.
Watanabe Saki was overjoyed; after all, it was an unprecedented first for a management trainee to be able to ask the chairman to lunch with her alone.
Knowing her actual financial situation, Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t choose a fancy restaurant for lunch, but instead chose the same small, ordinary store that he used to frequent.
By the time the two of them met inside the small store, they were seated side by side. Watanabe Saeki turned sideways towards him, wanting to speak several times, still not daring to open that one mouth.
“If you had the courage to call and invite me to lunch, why are you wincing now?” Justice Kishimoto laughed a little and said.
“I called you with the intention of just taking my chances, but I didn’t expect you to actually say yes.” Watanabe Saki said honestly.
“Just think of me as your big brother from the same country, and feel free to ask for anything. Whether you’re right or wrong, you can say it.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
After some more hesitation, Watanabe Saki finally gathered enough courage and said, “My boyfriend, Kimura Hiroshi, is the head of the third section of the Personnel Department. He is a very capable man.”
“And then?” Masayoshi Kishimoto understood something after hearing this from her, and just smiled again and said.
“For the position of the head of San Francisco in the United States, could you send him there to serve?” Watanabe Saeki’s voice was getting smaller and smaller as she spoke, not daring to go and look directly at the other party with both eyes and said.
“Since you are boyfriend and girlfriend, you should stay together. Aren’t you worried that your boyfriend will forget about you when he goes to San Francisco, USA to have a new love?” Justice Kishimoto said nonchalantly.
Watanabe Saki originally said, “He said that if he could go to San Francisco, he would take the initiative to apply to the headquarters personnel department to transfer me there as well.”
“Saki, why are you so naive?” Masayoshi Kishimoto did not fail to feel that this one person in front of him was really a silly girl Dao.
Watanabe Saiki was suddenly surprised, “Could it be, is there something wrong?”
“If you came to me for something above your own work assignments, I could even understand your feelings. But for you to come to me for your boyfriend, I can’t understand you.
Like this kind of thing, you are already considered to have broken the rules. Do you know what your behavior is called? Overstepping your bounds. You’ve gone too far.
It’s precisely because it’s you that I don’t care. If it were someone else, I would have fired her. This is breaking the rules, not knowing the rules, not following the rules, speculative behavior. There are no rules without rules.
I’m sure your boyfriend understands this. If he really doesn’t understand it, he’d be completely unqualified to continue staying in the company.
That’s why he didn’t come, but let you come. As for the reason, I’m afraid it’s because he thinks that you’re not going to be punished because you have a close personal relationship with Rie and me.
To put it bluntly, you are being used as a gun by your boyfriend. For that reason, you’re still stupid enough to think that he loves you.
If he truly loved you, he definitely wouldn’t have let you come to me to speak for him about this one matter concerning personnel transfers and appointments.” Justice Kishimoto spoke bluntly.
Watanabe Saeki hurriedly explained, “He didn’t ask me to find you, but I took the initiative to find you myself. If you want to chastise me, chastise me, it doesn’t have a single thing to do with my boyfriend.”
“You’re really defending him. I’ll send you a sentence, not only is the shopping mall like a battlefield, but the workplace can also be shaped like a battlefield.
There’s something I can’t figure out, you’ve followed Rie for so many years, how come you haven’t learned anything from her?” Masayoshi Kishimoto wouldn’t have the heart to chastise a newcomer to the workplace who hadn’t been in the world for a long time.
“Learn what?” Watanabe Saki said, unsure of the meaning.
Masayoshi Kishimoto just shook his head without saying so explicitly. Sakai Rie wouldn’t be as foolish as she was, after all, she was clear and aware of the power.
On second thought, this fianc茅e of his was also quite good at choosing friends, specializing in finding simple-minded people. And this kind of person to make friends, one is no need to guard, two is can make friends.
Although she did not want to take advantage of the other party’s mind or take advantage of anything, she was also able to see that she possessed a certain ability to recognize the human heart.
“Really, it was all my own idea, it has absolutely nothing to do with my boyfriend.” Watanabe Saki was still relieved and said.
“If you really had such a mind, then you wouldn’t have taken the initiative to call me. We wouldn’t be sitting here having lunch either.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he bluntly punctured her falsehood.
Watanabe Saki tensed up greatly and said, “Are you going to chastise Kimura Hiroshi?”
“You don’t need to be so nervous, I’m not going to chastise anyone. As for the matter on the San Francisco side of the United States, Nanno Takayuki will send someone.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said plainly.
Watanabe Saki knew that this was hopeless. If he himself took the initiative to talk to Nanno Takayuki again, it would likewise fall under the category of overstepping one’s bounds.
At that time, I was afraid that the other party would not be as kind as Kishimoto Masayoshi. It was extremely likely that he would be chastised along with his boyfriend.
“I have one more thing I need to ask for your help? It’s about where I’m going.” Watanabe Saki suddenly remembered the matter of her job assignment and said.
“You want to stay at headquarters, right? That one can depend on your strength.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.
“No, I want to be assigned to work beside President Miyazaki Ryui.” Watanabe Saki said in a serious manner.
Masayoshi Kishimoto hesitated for a moment, but wasn’t going to refuse. He himself believed that it was definitely not her intention, and in all likelihood, it was Hiroshi Kimura who gave her the idea again.
“Good. I can promise you. After you go to the Dragonwell side, learn some real skills properly, and it will also be easier for you to be able to stand alone in the future.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said firmly.
