Chapter 178: Local Specialties

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not go directly to the company’s office building located in one of the CBDs in Seoul, South Korea. He went to the nearest five-star hotel to the company and stayed there.

He had traveled to Seoul specifically to attend the official founding ceremony of Hard Gold Construction. This also marked the beginning of the company’s corporatization.

Masayoshi Kishimoto called only Ryui Miyazaki and Katsuhei Yamaguchi to his room, and then directly opened a closed-door meeting between the three of them.

Sato Hidetaka did not go, left and right hand carrying a full of Korean souvenirs was knocking on the door of Yamada Mirai’s room. He put the things down with a smile on his face and said, “A small token of my friendship as a landlord.

If you find any of these appetizing, let me know and I’ll send you some more. Even if you go back to Tokyo, I can send them to you.”

Yamada Mirai knew in her heart that before this, the two of them had not even met once, not to mention friendship. For the other party to send himself some Korean souvenirs out of the blue, it naturally wouldn’t be for nothing.

Yamada Mirai invited him to take a seat in the suite’s living room while bluntly saying, “What is it, just tell me straight!”

“Even though I’m not an employee at the beginning of the company’s hay day like Oda Hidetora and Miyazaki Ryui, I’m still considered to be one of the earliest ones.

Rumiko Kato and I entered the company at the same time. I was sent from Tokyo to Seoul to work for the company! It’s been more than two years since I was sent from Tokyo to work in Seoul.

Isn’t it possible to transfer me back to the Tokyo headquarters?” Satou Hidetaka talked about his past work experience and current qualifications in a serious manner, saying.

“Hearing you say that, you’re still my senior.” Although Yamada Mirai said this verbally, her body sitting on top of the sofa had absolutely no intention of getting up.

Even if she was just a secretary, she was still the boss’s secretary. She had relied on her own abilities to stabilize her current position.

Even if there wasn’t that kind of intimate relationship between herself and Masayoshi Kishimoto, it was still an object that many people inside and outside the company wanted to befriend, after all, they were able to listen to valuable information in advance.

“I dare not, I dare not.” Sato Hidetaka put his hands together in front of his face and said politely.

“If you want me to put in a good word for you in front of the boss, and then you’ll have a chance to be transferred back to the Tokyo headquarters, you’ve chosen the wrong person.

Even if I put in a good word for you in front of the boss, the boss won’t listen. He might even suspect that we’re having an affair.

Everyone in Tokyo Headquarters knows that I, Yamada Mirai, rose to the top based on my own abilities, not by sleeping with her.” Yamada Mirai clearly told him that she really didn’t have the kind of influence the other party thought she had.

“Secretary Yamada, you’ve misunderstood. You really have greatly misunderstood my meaning.” Sato Hidetaka hurriedly made some explanations, saying.

“Misunderstanding or not, that one in itself is not important. Since you have come to me, then I know where your original intention lies. I can reveal a valuable piece of information to you.” Yamada Mirai said nonchalantly.

Sato Hidetaka sat up straight and leaned his body forward in her direction, his face full of seriousness and earnestness as he said, “Please speak.”

“It’s unlikely that you’ll be transferred back to the Tokyo headquarters. However, I heard the boss mention that he intends to send Miyazaki Ryui to San Francisco to head an office there before he can have Kobayashi Kiyoshi return to Tokyo headquarters to take up the position of president of Hard Gold Capital.

The position of the head of the Seoul office was left vacant. Who do you think knows the actual situation in Korea best and is most capable of taking this position?” Yamada Mirai calmly said.

Sato Hidetaka was immediately overjoyed. It was feasible for him not to be transferred back to the Tokyo headquarters to work. Having him replace Miyazaki Ryui as the head of the Seoul office in Korea would mean a direct promotion.

“Thank you, Secretary Yamada, for your guidance.” Sato Hidetaka stood up boldly and bowed deeply at ninety degrees right towards her and said.

“You shouldn’t be too happy too soon. There are variables when this matter is not finalized. What the boss gave Miyazaki Ryui was a multiple choice question.

If Miyazaki Ryui doesn’t want to go to the San Francisco office, he will choose another other person to take over Kobayashi Kiyoshi’s job there.

As for who that other person is, I’m not sure and you shouldn’t ask. The only thing I can say for sure is that Kobayashi Kiyoshi will absolutely take the position of president of Hard Gold Capital.

In other words, your fate is tied to Miyazaki Ryui. If Miyazaki Ryui is unwilling to go to San Francisco, then you won’t be able to take over his current job here, and you won’t be able to be promoted.” Yamada Mirai spoke eloquently.

Sato Hidetaka instantly had a feeling of falling from heaven to hell, his body weight fell backward, and his entire person was re-sitting on top of the sofa again.

Although he was a bit lost in his heart, he would not give up, “Secretary Yamada, can you show me a way out? I am definitely not going to forget your help.”

“It’s true that the final authority for personnel appointments is in the hands of the boss. However, the right to make recommendations is with Personnel Minister Takayuki Nanno.

Not to mention that he can make decisions on general personnel appointments and transfers without going through the boss. The boss also trusts him, after all, the two of them are hairdressers.” The reason why Yamada Mirai was willing to help him also had its own purpose Dao.

“You mean for me to follow Takayuki Nanno’s path?” Sato Hidetaka asked rhetorically.

“It mainly depends on your determination whether you want to be transferred back to the Tokyo headquarters to take up a general job position, or do you want to remain in Seoul Bo to rise to the top?

If you choose the former, I’ll be able to put in a word for you with Takayuki Nanno. If you choose the latter, you will largely depend on Miyazaki Ryui’s choice.” Yamada Mirai calmly said.

“It would certainly be best if this could be the position of head of the Seoul office in Korea. If not, I would still like to return to the Tokyo headquarters.” Sato Hidetaka chose a way that was most favorable to him and said.

Yamada Mirai laughed a little and said, “You’re trying to have it both ways.”

Sato Hidetaka currently understood that his career prospects were at a critical crossroads. If he wasn’t able to get promoted this time, then he would be quite a bit behind his contemporaries, Kato Rumiko.

His greatest fear was that once he was behind his contemporaries, he would always be behind in the future. If there were a large number of promotion opportunities, then the focus of the investigation would not fall on him in this period, but would be in the latter period of the personnel excellence.

In this way, he has become the object of abandonment, after all, has become the same period of the existence of the end of the stream. The cruelty of promotion within the company, also stems from this. Against the current, not to advance is to retreat.
