Chapter 372: Breaking Up
Watanabe Saki and Kimura Hiroshi met inside a modern restaurant in Akasaka, Minato-ku. They sat face to face as they dined. It had been almost a month since their last meeting.
According to the normal frequency of meeting between lovers, it was at least once a week. If it was a man and woman in love, it would be normal for them to see each other every day.
“That one thing wasn’t able to help you.” Watanabe Saki said with a tone of self-blame.
“Actually, I didn’t hold out much hope either. Nowadays, there’s no point in talking about that one thing.” Kimura Hiroshi said breathlessly.
“You’re so capable, there will definitely be opportunities for promotion in the future.” Watanabe Saki said with confidence in him.
“Let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you instead!” Kimura Hiroshi took the initiative to change the subject and said.
“It’s quite strange to say that, instead of making a single layoff or pay cut to Hard Gold Denshi, the chairman asked us to speed up our development.”
Watanabe Saki really listened to his words and didn’t continue to talk about him, but instead began to chat about a topic involving himself, saying.
“It shows that the chairman has valued and trusted Hard Gold Denshi. One of you is still not grateful.” Kimura Hiroshi blurted out.
“Today, Miyazaki Ryui and I even had a few arguments about it.” Watanabe Saki said truthfully.
Instead of continuing to eat his plate of food with his head down, Kimura Hiroshi suddenly raised his head to look at her. Before this, he had told her all sorts of things.
As a result, she was still being foolish. When he first found her to be his girlfriend, it was only because he wanted to go to the upper class route. To this day, he was the one who only realized that the difference between what he thought and what he actually was, was too great.
“Even if you’re stupid, there should be a limit. If you don’t know about Miyazaki Ryui’s origins, that’s fine. Even so, he is the president.
In your company, he is the supreme authority, saying nothing. You know he’s one of the oldest men in the company, and you’re still trying to defy him.
Could it be that you really intend to be resigning and not working anymore? Or what?” Kimura Hiroshi’s eyes became quite contemptuous as he looked at her.
“Am I worrying for me? You don’t have to worry about me at all. Miyazaki Ryui won’t do anything to me. Our argument is also just because of things above work, not mixed with personal grudges.” Watanabe Saeki all but said with a world-weary and heartless look.
Kimura Hiroshi put down the chopsticks in his hands, picked up the napkin pressed underneath the round dinner plate and wiped his mouth, then casually threw it on the table.
He looked at this silly girl sitting across from him, neither laughing nor crying. Although he has seen a lot of stupid women, but belong to the first time to see so stupid. Of course, there are women again from head to toe are heart eyes.
“You live a really simple enough life. I can guarantee that if you weren’t the Chairman’s fellow countryman, and Rie Sakai and you weren’t hairdressers and bosom buddies, you would have been given small shoes by Miyazaki Ryui a long time ago.” Hiroshi Kimura said bluntly.
“It’s not as serious as you make it sound!” Watanabe Saki said in disbelief.
“Don’t think that bullying only occurs in school. On top of the workplace, bullying occurs as well. You’re really something, how dare you egg on the president and fight it out.
If I were to argue a few words with our Minister Nanno inside the company, I would definitely be suppressed by the other party afterwards.” Kimura Hiroshi with a sarcastic tone was giving a right hand thumbs up towards her and said.
“That only shows that Nanno Takayuki’s heart is narrow and small-minded, completely unlike Miyazaki Ryui’s open-mindedness and big-heartedness.” Watanabe Saki retorted.
Kimura Hiroshi’s palms were pressed together on his forehead, and in his heart, he really had an impulse to slap her twice, causing her to wake up.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. In his opinion, Watanabe Saeki was a typical person who was stupid and had a good life. This offended her superior and she was still unaware of it.
For this reason, he also knew that even if Miyazaki Ryui had the thought of cleaning up Watanabe Saki, he would not carry it out. The reasoning was simple, if you don’t look at the face of the monk, you must also look at the face of the Buddha.
If Miyazaki Ryui really cleaned her up, it wasn’t without worry that she would go to Kishimoto Masayoshi and Sakai Rie to complain in front of them. She was a relatively simple-minded woman, and Kishimoto Masayoshi and Sakai Rie were equally well aware of that.
Even if Masayoshi Kishimoto wouldn’t blame Miyazaki Ryui, there would be Sakai Rie who would resent him for hitting the dog without looking at the master. Could it be that he didn’t know that Watanabe Saki was her best friend and childhood friend?
To clean up Watanabe Saki without even informing her would be like cleaning up after her and directly punching her in the face. Who is she?
The hard gold zaibatsu’s no-nonsense zaibatsu madam. She was the woman who could blow pillow air to Masayoshi Kishimoto both when she had something to do and when she had nothing to do.
As for himself, even if he was talented, he belonged to the category of bad fate. Although he was currently the head of the Third Section of the Personnel Department, he was a floating weed with no roots.
He wanted to lean towards Takayuki Nanno’s side, while he was a minister who seemed to be dead set on not being able to see anyone. Since this path is not feasible, then another way.
Before he had met Sakai Rie, he had originally thought that she would be a simple-minded girl like Watanabe Saki, but he had not expected that the other party would have heart eyes from head to toe.
This made the plan to get close to her, and then to Kishimoto Masayoshi, a complete and utter failure. After all, anything he said or did, even if it was good, would be viewed by her as having impure motives.
The reason why he was still able to sit in this position was all due to his own intelligence and hard work. A person with use value like himself would naturally not be inexplicably abandoned.
“Let’s break up!” Kimura Hiroshi said in a serious manner.
Watanabe Saki had not expected him to come up with such a move at all. Because of tonight’s date, she was originally happy. Now, she instantly became a bit demented.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.” Watanabe Saki deceived herself.
“I said that it’s better for us to end this and break up! Consider this meal tonight as a break-up dinner between us.” Kimura Hiroshi said with particular determination.
Watanabe Saki became completely overwhelmed for a moment. She didn’t bawl her eyes out, but she began to look as if she was petrified.
She had no idea what to do next. Before this, she had never encountered anything like this before.
Hiroshi Kimura had seen a lot of situations. When he had uttered such a sentence in the past, there had been those who had given him a resounding slap in the face, and those who had thrown the wine inside their glasses all over him ……
He himself had seen this kind of reaction from Watanabe Saki a long time ago. He didn’t need to wait for her reply, so he stood up and left the restaurant without looking back.
