Chapter 181: Internal Decision

Masayoshi Kishimoto had returned to Tokyo from Seoul, and as soon as he walked in the door of his house, he saw Rie Sakai and Saki Watanabe sitting inside the living room drinking afternoon tea.

When Watanabe Saki saw him, she immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile on her face, “Brother Justice, you’re back. Come and have a seat!”

Kishimoto Masayoshi nodded his head, put down the suitcase in his hands, and walked over towards them. He turned around and sat down on the far left side of the long couch.

He leaned his back against the back of the sofa, one of his elbows resting on the left armrest of the sofa, and turned his body slightly sideways towards the two of them.

Watanabe Saki sat down again without changing her smile. She sidled up to his side and opened the door, “Brother Justice, I have a matter that I need to ask for your help.”

Kishimoto Masayoshi acted extremely calmly, and habitually blurted out the word, “Speak.”

“As you know, I’m about to be a junior in college. Furthermore, I’m studying art, and the employment rate is already particularly low. The things that are set within the job have not materialized until now.

Would your company be able to offer me an internal position?” Watanabe Saeki said as he sat upright, acting as if he was in a job interview.

Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that the Japanese term “internalization” and the Chinese term “internalization” did not mean the same thing at all. The former belongs to the signing of a mutual employment agreement, while the latter belongs to the back-room operation, through the back door.

“Look at how pathetic I am, just help me!” Watanabe Saeki said miserably.

“It would be nice if you were studying one of the business majors instead. Whether it’s a finance major, an accounting major, or any other major, it’s fine.

Even if you’re studying civil engineering, construction-related majors, that’s fine. Art? Besides, don’t you still have two years to graduate from college? You don’t need to be in such a hurry!” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.

“Brother Justice, it’s not like you know it well. Although the Asian financial crisis has passed, the economy hasn’t recovered. Even after two more years, it’s unlikely to pick up much.

As long as I don’t get a company internalization, my heart is not in the right place. The competition is even greater for companies like yours that have very good benefits.

Although I am an art major, I can’t do professional work, but ordinary administrative work is also competent. Otherwise, I can work as a receptionist for your company, right?” Watanabe Saeki seriously said.

“If I really let you work as a receptionist, will you be willing?” Kishimoto Masayoshi crossed his fingers above his belly and couldn’t help but laugh.

“If I’m not willing, I have to be willing. I don’t want to starve to death in Tokyo. Nor do I want to go back home to marry someone.” Watanabe Saki said helplessly.

“You’re also too pessimistic. Do you see Rie in a hurry to go to the company’s inner circle?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said casually.

“How can I be compared to Rie? She’s the woman who’s going to be a musical artist. Besides, with you watching over her, does she have to worry a good deal about anything?” Watanabe Saki hit the nail on the head.

“Saiki, don’t talk nonsense.” Rie Sakai suddenly interjected.

“Yes, you can eat nonsense, but you can’t talk nonsense. Rie relies on her personal talent, I really didn’t do her any favors.” Kishimoto Masayoshi said without the slightest hint of a blush as he spoke against his will.

“Brother Justice, do you really think I’m a fool?” Watanabe Saeki asked rhetorically, completely disbelieving his words.

The moment these words came out, it was as if a vacuum had been created in the entire environment. Sakai Rie was immediately embarrassed. She picked up the cup of black tea that was placed on top of the glass coffee table, wanting to use it as a way to cover up the past.

In reality, it was also clear in her heart. Ever since the success of the three-day New Year’s Concert at the beginning of the year, she had become the talk of the town on the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts.

Her photo had been enlarged and published in a number of newspapers and magazines, and had been accompanied by flattering words to describe her in various ways.

The New Year’s concert that she and Professor Suzuki’s only daughter, Suzuki Akane, had originally organized together had become her solo recital.

She was the only one on top of the photos in the newspapers and magazines, and there was no sign of Suzuki Akane at all. As for the group photo, it was an intimate photo of her and Kyoko Fukada.

Gossip and entertainment journalists are the ones who do things for whoever pays them. They write whatever the person who pays them asks them to write. All of this wouldn’t have happened at all if there wasn’t someone behind them as a pushover.

Masayoshi Kishimoto took the initiative to break the silence with a smile, “Saeki, you’re making me so embarrassed by saying that.”

“I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing.” Watanabe Saiki took the initiative to stand up and turn around afterward. She bowed ninety degrees deeply towards Rie Sakai and apologized.

Kishimoto Masayoshi could see that although she was a bit straight-talking and immature, she was able to learn from her mistakes, could still come to terms with things, and was somewhat perceptive.

It was not the noble and blind confidence of some college students, who thought they could find a good job without relying on connections. Other people are all idiots, they are the smartest, the most knowledgeable, the most capable.

“You shouldn’t be so polite. Not only are you and Rie a classmate and alumni, but you’re also girlfriends who grew up together. The three of us are also all hometowns from the same place.

Since you want an in-company appointment so badly, then I’ll just give it to you first. If you find a good one in the future, there’s no harm in not coming to my company.”

Justice Kishimoto was not at all interested in a moment. He knew better than anyone else that apart from the very few jobs that were highly specialized, the vast majority of jobs in society belonged to whoever did them.

Some jobs only required one or two days to get started, while others only required one or two weeks to become proficient. Some jobs take longer than a month or two, and some longer than a year or two.

Jobs that took one, two decades, or even a lifetime to master were not ordinary jobs that could be performed by ordinary people.

Even if Watanabe Saki had studied art in college, it didn’t matter. Arranging a clerical administrative job inside the company for her was also easy.

Hiring someone you don’t know is still hiring, while hiring someone you know is still hiring. If she didn’t do a good job after entering the company in the future, she would only be able to let her get out. After all, starting your own company wasn’t like playing a game.

Watanabe Saeki was overjoyed, turning her back towards him with another deep ninety-degree bow and said, “Thank you so much for giving me such an opportunity.”

“The opportunity is given to you, but if you can’t grasp it, it will also be a public matter, what to do.” Justice Kishimoto said squarely.

“I know.” Watanabe Saki fully understood the meaning of his words. He himself currently got a company internalization, that in the heart are much more stable Dao.
