Chapter 772 Alma Mater
Tokyo Takkyubi and the rest of the crowd didn’t feel the sense of crisis from Miyazaki Ryui and Takahashi Kazuya’s side, who were sharpening their swords towards the pigs and goats at all.
Each of them had their own little plan in mind, and since the plan to merge the five logistics companies into a new logistics company had been decided by the chairman and could not be changed, there was no way to oppose it.
What they could do was to actively strive for their new positions in the new logistics company. Will this be a promotion or a demotion?
Or not, but none of them would have thought that they had already been included in the list of those who might be liquidated.
At the same time, Masayoshi Kishimoto, as always, sat down at the table next to Makoto Natsui. He never talked about company matters in front of her and the children.
Natsui Makoto basically wouldn’t take the initiative to ask him about company matters either. She knew that other than being anxious, she could not help him. Instead of adding to the confusion, it was better not to inquire blindly.
The fact that the two of them had children meant that they could have endless topics to talk about, after all, children were the ties that couples used to bond together.
“The Little Water Drop Kindergarten is about to conduct an enrollment process for the public. There will also be an independent examination and selection in this.” Natsui Makoto said bluntly.
“You’ll enroll Makoto and Mika first, then you’ll take the siblings on the day of the exam and selection.” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t think it was such a big deal and looked calm as he said.
“Other people’s children’s parents are nervous about this, and I’m nervous about this one too. How come you’re not nervous about it at all?
Is it hard to believe that Makoto and Mika aren’t your own children?” Natsui Makoto said, completely affected by the atmosphere of the promotion.
“It’s the children who go to the exams and selections, not me. What’s the use of me being nervous? If you really feel uneasy in your heart, then go to the shrines in Tokyo to pray and worship.
If you’ve heard of that one shrine that’s particularly good at blessing a child’s advancement to higher education, you should definitely go there.” Justice Kishimoto blurted out.
“I know you have other ways. However, I truly do hope that Makoto and Mika will be able to get into Little Drops Kindergarten on their own merits.
They are already excellent children with great potential, there’s no way they can’t. My favorite thing about Little Drops Kindergarten isn’t that it’s a cradle for plutocrats, prime ministers, and so on.
My favorite thing about it is the phrase on its publicity, “Let the outstanding children become even more outstanding, even outstanding.” Natsui Makoto had a word for it.
“Since you all think that our sons and daughters are excellent and perfectly capable, then stop worrying about nothing.” Masaru Kishimoto said seriously.
“That being said, my heart just isn’t in it. Those some moms around me all hope that their children will be able to get into Tokyo University in the future.” Natsui Makoto had never experienced anything like this before, and it was inevitable that she would be nervous.
Even if the chances of winning were 99%, it would make her focus on the 1% of failure. The fact that she would react this way was all because she cared too much.
Moreover, she has long been exposed to the analyses and insights of the mothers in her small circle, and has fully recognized that every step her child takes is important.
This kind of endless worry, at least until the child into a famous university. If you have hopes that your child will enter the University of Tokyo, or even the medical school of the University of Tokyo, you will have to be even more concerned, and you will not be able to relax even a little bit.
“So what if they get into the University of Tokyo? A lot of people who graduated from the University of Tokyo are still working for me. Even if you get into Tokyo University, it doesn’t mean that everyone is smart.
Some people are just good at reading. On top of the workplace, not only do you need to have a strong ability to work, but you also need to have a strong ability to resist pressure.” Masayoshi Kishimoto is not a man who only thinks in terms of education.
In his opinion, a degree from a prestigious university is only an important reference, but not the whole story. A truly talented person would still be able to do something even if they didn’t go to university.
For this reason, he thought of Hard Gold Construction’s president, Yamaguchi Katsuhei, inside his head. He was only a junior high school graduate. His own administrative head, Ota Hidetori, was also a high school graduate.
On the other hand, he also knew very well that Japanese society was such an educationally oriented one that he had to follow the customs.
This is for HR, first look at the academic qualifications, but can save time and effort to save trouble, after all, no one has so much time and energy to slowly get to know a person, especially unfamiliar job applicants.
“Even if it’s not the University of Tokyo, it has to be the same university you graduated from, Hitotsubashi University. It’s one of the famous old three business universities in Japan.
It may not be in your heart that you want our sons and daughters to fail even a common university in the future?” Natsui Makoto looked at him and said.
“You have to think about it. If you really let Makoto and Mika go to Hitotsubashi University, I’m afraid that they won’t be able to enter the Hard Gold Group in the future.
It’s enough to have me as a business major from Hitotsubashi University, Kazuya Takahashi as a law major, and Takayuki Nanno as a sociology major.
That’s three of the four majors in Hitotsubashi University’s undergraduate program. I have no intention of having someone from Hitotsubashi University’s economics program come along to start the future.
It is precisely because we at Hard Gold Group do not recruit graduates or former graduates of Hitotsubashi University that we do not have a Hitotsubashi faction within the organization.
If we have to say there is a Hitotsubashi faction, then it’s me, Kazuya Takahashi, and Takayuki Nanno.” Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh and said.
“Does Hitotsubashi University have a grudge against you? That’s your alma mater!” Natsui Makoto said in incomprehension.
“Precisely because it’s my alma mater, it’s impossible to allow the formation of the Hitotsubashi faction within the Hard Gold Group. This way, it will stop the Hitotsubashi faction from thinking that they’re the ones with the right roots, and it will also keep the others from misinterpreting that I, Kazuya Takahashi, and Takayuki Minamino would be giving any special care to the juniors who graduated from Hitotsubashi University.
Although I can guarantee impartiality, Takahashi Kazuya and Nanno Takayuki will definitely not be able to do so. Especially Takahashi Kazuya, he’s known as a small mountain of a man with a heavy sense of clique.
Nanno Takayuki belongs to such a man who is quite ambitious, so naturally he won’t let go of utilizing such an identity with a strong sense of recognition to enlist the juniors who graduated from his alma mater to his side.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a serious manner.
Natsui Makoto snapped out of it, “Do I just have to keep Makoto and Mika from attending Hitotsubashi University, then any other prestigious university will do? Their siblings can then enter the Hard Gold Group in the future.”
“You’ll know the kids twenty years from now. What if none of them want to enter the Hard Gold Group? Cows don’t drink water and forcefully press their heads?” Justice Kishimoto said without changing his smile.
“If they’re really like the one you said, then I, as a mom, will definitely not force any of them.” Natsui Makoto said without mouthing off.
