Chapter 343 Location
At eight o’clock in the evening, Hiroshi Kimura led Saki Watanabe to a high-class French Western restaurant located in the Taito District. For this meal, he had called early to make a reservation.
To show off his gentlemanly demeanor, Kimura Hiroshi personally moved the chair for Watanabe Saki. After she sat down, it was only then that he sat on the side next to her.
“What did you bring me here for? Spending money recklessly.” Watanabe Saki generally found it difficult for a boyfriend to bring his girlfriend to such an upscale place for anything other than a marriage proposal.
The two hadn’t been officially dating for long, so a marriage proposal was naturally unlikely. However, according to her boyfriend’s annual income, it was still completely affordable to go in and out of such upscale places from time to time.
“I’m good to you, shouldn’t I be?” Kimura Hiroshi looked at her sideways is a smile.
A sweet smile in the middle of a relationship immediately appeared on Watanabe Saki’s face. She picked up the menu that was placed on the table, and while flipping through it calmly and calmly, she ordered the dish she wanted to savor without hesitation.
At the same time, Kimura Hiroshi also ordered what he wanted to eat. Red wine was naturally essential. So, he ordered another good French red wine.
The beautiful and romantic evening seemed to be just as the waiter opened the cork in the bottle of red wine and slowly poured the red wine in the bottle into the empty tulip-shaped wine glasses of Hiroshi Kimura and Saki Watanabe respectively.
Kimura Hiroshi picked up the red wine glass in his right hand towards Watanabe Saiki, and his smile grew wider and wider as he said, “Come on, let’s drink a toast.”
Watanabe Saki also picked up the glass in her right hand and gently clinked it with his glass, which then made a clear “ding” sound.
She tilted her head slightly and took a sip of the wine in her mouth, not swallowing it directly. The red wine in her mouth traveled around her tongue before she swallowed it down her throat.
In the past, Watanabe Saeki had not developed this habit of drinking red wine. The one who is close to the vermilion is red, the one who is close to the ink is black, and Sakai Rie had been together for a long time, and had also begun to learn how to enjoy it.
Plus, he was currently attending a management trainee program inside a large company. Once one’s training was complete, it was natural that one would have to be assigned a specific job.
Above the income, she never worried, after all, the regular big companies have their own set of complete salary system, absolutely will not appear to let the formal members of the society not be able to have a decent life.
Kimura Hiroshi did not rush to say what he wanted to say. He understands that if you want to be fast, you can’t be fast enough. If this matter wanted to have a chance, it was completely impossible to rely on oneself. The only thing that would give him a chance was to rely on that layer of Watanabe Saeki’s relationship.
He patiently waited for the appetizers to be served on the table, and after taking a bite, it was only then that he superficially looked light-hearted, but in reality, he said, “Have you heard about it, the U.S. office in San Francisco is missing a person in charge.
The person originally recommended by Miyazaki Ryui was rejected by Minister Nanno. This morning, they even argued over this matter at a high-level meeting.”
Although Watanabe Saki was still an intern, he would have heard about the various gossips or gossip that happened within the group headquarters. Especially when they interns gathered together for lunch, it was only natural that they would talk about such things.
“What’s so strange about it. Nowadays, it’s all an open secret.” Watanabe Saki said without thinking carefully about the meaning of his words.
“Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending?” Kimura Hiroshi asked tentatively.
Watanabe Saki looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and said, “This has long been something that is known up and down the group headquarters. What is there that I don’t understand.
I’ve also heard that during the Chairman’s trip out of Tokyo to Hangzhou, China, the daily affairs of the group’s headquarters were handed over to Minister Nanno to temporarily take charge.
People are saying that Mr. Nanno will soon be promoted from the position of Minister to Managing Director. There are also people who say that Minister Nanno intends to dismiss Miyazaki Ryui’s face in order to establish himself within the company first.”
“It seems like you really don’t understand!” Kimura Hiroshi shook his head and said.
“Then what, exactly, do you think is going on?” Watanabe Saki asked uncertainly.
“The position of the head of the U.S. San Francisco office. Although it corresponds to the Headquarters Division Chief level according to the equivalent rank, it’s so important that it’s raised one level up, which just happens to be the Headquarters Undersecretary level.
That’s not even the most important place. Look at Kiyoshi Kobayashi and Ryui Miyazaki, both of whom held this position before being appointed by the chairman as president of their wholly owned subsidiaries.
Currently, I’m the head of the third division of the Personnel Department, and I’m fully qualified to compete for it.” It was then that Hiroshi Kimura made peace with the calculations in his mind and said.
Watanabe Saeki suddenly realized, but only thought of the romance between the two of them and said, “If you go to San Francisco in the United States, then what can I do?”
“Is it still an unknown if this can go to San Francisco, USA? I believe that there are many pairs of eyes within the group of companies that are staring at this one position.
Assuming that I do go to the United States to take up a position in San Francisco, then I will definitely find a way to apply to the headquarters to transfer you to my side.” Kimura Hiroshi took the initiative to extend his hands to grab one of her small hands, staring at her with affectionate eyes.
Watanabe Saeki was so provoked by him, the whole person fell into the pink love bubble. She lowered her head and smiled without saying anything.
Kimura Hiroshi pretended to sigh, “All I’m doing is for the future of the two of us. As for whether or not I have a chance to serve in San Francisco, U.S.A., I still have to rely on your help.”
“My help? I’m just a management intern, what favor can I do for you?” Watanabe Saeki raised her head in surprise.
“Aren’t you and Rie Sakai good girlfriends?” Kimura Hiroshi reminded.
“You mean you want me to go give Rie a good talking to so she can go talk to Brother Justice?” Watanabe Saki said plainly.
“You’re so smart, I knew you were the one woman I was meant for.” Kimura Hiroshi feigned a look as if the two of them had a heart to heart and said.
Watanabe Saki showed a difficult look on her face. It wasn’t that she wasn’t willing to help, but she felt that she didn’t have full certainty. She knew better than Kimura Hiroshi that Sakai Rie had never cared about the Hard Gold Group.
This current matter was related to personnel changes within the company, so how could she open up to her?
“Are you unwilling to help me?” Kimura Hiroshi loosened his grip on his hands and feigned disappointment.
“No, no.” Watanabe Saki hurriedly defended.
“Then what is it? You have to believe me, I’m really not doing this for myself alone, it’s all for the future of the two of us. As long as your best girlfriend goes and blows the chairman’s mind, then things will be in order.
Even though it’s Minister Nanno’s call above the personnel appointments, he still has to listen to the chairman as well.” Kimura Hiroshi was once again reaching out his hands to hold one of her small hands and said.
