Chapter 128: Taking a Bath

After Yamaguchi Katsuhei completed the entry procedures and received the one million yen in cash, Kishimoto Masayoshi took the initiative to call on the other party to accompany him to take a bath.

This practice is not because of the smell of his body, but to send a message to the company’s employees, do not underestimate this old man, even his own considerable attention.

Want everyone to believe, that everything has to rely on their own strength to be able to obtain a person’s position in the company and the right to speak. How to get the right to speak? That is to see if the work you are responsible for doing can be outstanding.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Katsuhei Yamaguchi walked into a Japanese-style bathhouse that had been in operation for more than half a century. The person collecting the money was a seventy-year-old old woman.

Although there were newer bathhouses in Tokyo at this time of year, they did not have the atmosphere of this soaking culture. Moreover, Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that an old man like Katsuhei Yamaguchi naturally longed for the Japanese bathhouses of the past.

After a tiring day at the construction site, going to the bathhouse to take a bath was simply the greatest enjoyment of the day.

Two people into the men’s locker room, take off the body of the clothes, shoes and socks into a temporary rented locker inside to go, the right wrist above the set of a key ring, and then naked ran to the bathhouse in the middle.

Even in the morning, there were people coming to take a bath. These were often either retired old people or uncles who were on vacation. Taking a bath was an integral part of life for them.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Katsuhei Yamaguchi each sat on a small plastic stool, each cleansing their bodies before heading to the pool.

There was some mist inside the bathhouse, but it was perfectly possible to see all parts of the human body clearly. We are all men, there is nothing to be ashamed of, after all, should have everyone.

Besides, in Japan, mixed bathing of men and women is not a good novelty, but a traditional custom. There were two pools inside the bathhouse, one with warmer water and the other with cooler water.

Masayoshi Kishimoto immersed his body in the warmer pool, spreading his arms out on both sides of the pool’s edge and raising his head at a forty-five degree angle. He also placed a dampened and folded white towel on top of his forehead.

Both the Japanese and Chinese bathhouses had specialized scrubs. Only, this one bathhouse did not offer this traditional service.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was well aware that scrubbing was also a form of physical and mental enjoyment. A bath was still genuinely different from a bath. The former would permeate and soothe the entire body, while the latter didn’t have much of that feeling present.

Therefore, the existence of the bathhouse does have its good and value. Otherwise, it would not be widely welcomed and liked by some people. As for the shortcomings, it is only in the aspect of hygiene. Those who had a fetish for cleanliness, naturally, could never tolerate it.

With his back against the wall of the pool on Masayoshi Kishimoto’s side, Katsuhei Yamaguchi sat down in the water and also began to enjoy the fun and enjoyment that soaking in the bath brought to him.

After having ten minutes or so, he turned sideways to look at the other party and had an unkind request, “There is one thing that makes it difficult for me to say.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto still maintained his initial movements and said with his eyes closed, “The two of us are so naked and honest. What else do you have to say that’s hard to say? There’s no harm in saying what you have to say.”

“I want to bring two more men over to Seoul, South Korea. They used to be following me for years. I just don’t know …… I also know that this one request is really excessive.

No matter what, I have only just joined Hard Gold Capital today. What’s more, if it weren’t for your care, I would have continued to nestle inside the valley slums of Adachi District.” Yamaguchi Katsuhei hesitated to speak for a while, and finally summoned up enough courage to say.

Masayoshi Kishimoto understood that he was not harboring selfishness, but rather a habit. Cooperation between people above the work, as long as the hands are buttoned up, then it will go smoothly.

In addition, in terms of project management, even if Yamaguchi Katsuhei had six arms, he would not be able to handle it alone. In this field, except for him who was the most specialized, the other people in the company, including himself, were all laymen, completely ignorant.

“Raise the virtuous and not avoid relatives. If you think they can be of use, then call them up! It’s just that I don’t know if they are willing to accompany you to the Seoul side of South Korea to be based there?” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

Seeing that he trusted him so much, Yamaguchi Katsuhei was moved to tears and said, “I will use every means to convince them to follow me to Korea.

These two are definitely not guys who eat white rice out of thin air, they are actually capable, and are good hands inside the construction business.”

“Since you think it’s good, then there’s no problem. At that time, you have them come to the company to go through the entry procedures. According to the company’s normal rules, there’s a three-month trial period.

If everything is ok with them and there are no problems, then they’ll be directly converted to full-fledged members of the company after three months.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said nonchalantly.

“I can guarantee them. If anything goes wrong with either of the two, I take full responsibility.” Yamaguchi Katsuhei said with a sense of responsibility.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was well aware of the fact that Japan had a saying about joint and several liability and guarantees, not only on a legal level, but also popularized and extended to all walks of life in the private sector, as well as officialdom.

Especially in the construction industry, once a major accident occurs, one’s life will be ruined. Not only yourself, but also your family will be implicated and blamed.

Once this happens, even if the man doesn’t initiate the divorce, it will be demanded by the woman. Otherwise, it will negatively affect the future prospects and development of their children.

Many people can’t bear these pressures and commit suicide in a few cases. Or, severed all past ties and lived the life of a vagabond.

Although Katsuhei Yamaguchi did not cause any major accidents, he was ostracized by his peers.

He has lost his space in the construction field and has to live the life of a vagabond. Some of the homeless people in Japan are highly educated, including graduates of prestigious universities.

The reason why they have fallen into such a state is not only because of major mistakes, but also because of the huge debts they have incurred after failing to start their own business, and so on.

After taking a bath, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Katsuhei Yamaguchi redressed and walked over to the one wifey at the cashier’s office, where one asked for a bottle of milk and the other for a beer.

On top of that, they each asked for an egg each. After taking a bath, it was natural to experience a small amount of hunger, so they ate something to replenish themselves.

Masayoshi Kishimoto held the bottle of milk in his right hand, uncapped it, and downed half of it in a single gulp, followed by an audible “ah”.

Yamaguchi Katsuhei handed him a hard-boiled egg with the shell removed. He took the peeled egg in his left hand and bit into it.
