Chapter 395: Nervousness
That night, Masayoshi Kishimoto called on Ryui Miyazaki is to a very ordinary izakaya. A place where one could get drunk for a thousand yen.
“What’s the matter, you’re not used to eating yakitori and drinking sake in a place like this? By the way, you should be drinking wine, champagne, and whiskey in clubs and other places nowadays.
I remember when the company was in its infancy, we didn’t have a lot of eating and drinking in places like this either!” Masayoshi Kishimoto sensed that Ryui Miyazaki was blushing a bit and said.
“Not at all. It just makes me feel nervous like never before.” Miyazaki Ryui said bluntly.
“What’s there to be nervous about? It’s hard to believe that there’s poison inside these things?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he picked up a skewer of grilled chicken breast in his right hand.
“I’m nervous about being exiled. Or, being expelled.” Miyazaki Ryui really didn’t joke around and said.
Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but be amused by him. On second thought, he couldn’t blame Miyazaki Ryui. Even the other party was so cautious when facing himself now, as if accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger, then let’s not talk about the other people inside the company.
“I simply wanted to find you to come to this kind of place to have a drink, that’s all.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said truthfully.
“Boss, you’re not lying to me, are you?” It wasn’t for no reason that Miyazaki Ryui was nervous. The Hard Gold Ecommerce that he was solely responsible for had only seen a constant burning of money, but had not seen the slightest sign of profitability.
The money that had been invested in this one was being allocated through Hard Gold Capital within the group company. For this reason, Kobayashi Kiyoshi was already furious.
He more than once in the group high-level meeting above openly said, his hard gold electricity supplier will only spend money, will not make money, as if the moth, continue to let it continue, will be harmful to the interests of the group.
His attitude is as firm and consistent as ever, stop loss. If it is not Kishimoto justice attitude twelve points resolute to engage in this one project, I am afraid that he has long been accountable.
“No kidding.” Masayoshi Kishimoto took a piece of roasted chicken meat from the top of the bamboo stick was biting off. As he chewed it delicately in the middle of his mouth, he smiled and said.
“I’m really doing my best to do it right. I’m saving all the expenses that I can in this, and I’m definitely not spending public money on eating, drinking, and having fun.
Such a brand new market needs time to cultivate. How is it possible to rush to harvest when the seeds have only been sown? Kobayashi Kiyoshi can’t just look at my side above just spending money.” Miyazaki Ryui nervously stated to himself.
“Did I ask you this one thing? Tonight, I just want you to drink and chat with me. The chicken is a little tough.” Justice Kishimoto said without changing his smile.
The tension inside Miyazaki Ryui’s heart still hadn’t completely dropped. For the other party to suddenly call himself alone to a place like this for a drink like this really didn’t make him feel at ease in his heart.
Such a cheap izakaya consumed by ordinary office workers was not a place for people like them to come and drink. What he was afraid of was the Boss using this to imply a something to himself. He himself didn’t have an excessive financial burden on him, but he didn’t want to downgrade either.
“Since you’re in full charge of Hard Gold Denshi, it’s only natural that the pressure is there. You should not hold a grudge against Kiyoshi Kobayashi. He’s always been right about things.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without haste after finishing the chicken on top of a bamboo stick.
“I’m not afraid of pressure or anything, but I’m afraid of people who intentionally move things around in front of you and behind your back.” Miyazaki Ryui understood one principle, as long as Kishimoto Masayoshi believed in his loyalty and ability, then others should not try to bring him down.
On the contrary, if the other party listened to the slanderous words of others, it would only take a single word to try to jerk him off. This was where the treachery of office politics lay.
“I would like to have Kobayashi Kiyoshi move his position.” Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly said thoughtfully.
Miyazaki Ryui was getting more and more confused. Can’t it be that the boss is trying to jerk Kiyoshi Kobayashi around? That wasn’t right! That there were people who cut off their own arms for no reason.
Miyazaki Ryui didn’t take the opportunity to just say bad things about Kobayashi Kiyoshi. Even if he wanted to in his heart, he couldn’t. Otherwise, one would be too petty.
Even if Kobayashi Kiyoshi had any grievances against himself, it would be in plain sight. If one wanted to counterattack, one wouldn’t put a hidden arrow to hurt someone. Besides, the other party was indeed taking things personally.
“I would like to hear about your opinion?” Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up the glass was took a large sip of the ordinary sake in the glass and said.
“By all rights, I am supposed to avoid suspicion. Since you asked me, then I have no choice but to tell the truth. Kobayashi Kiyoshi cannot be replaced.” Miyazaki Ryui said truthfully.
“If we don’t replace him, then who is going to organize the Hard Gold Bank? Kobayashi Kiyoshi is the only one within the group company who knows the banking industry the best.
Acquiring a small bank within the Tokyo metropolitan area is a must. We’ll have to replace the management of the bank with our own people.
I also knew that Kiyoshi Kobayashi’s move from a central position to a non-central position in the group was bound to give him pause for thought.
The perception of other employees within the group will also change. If we don’t use Kobayashi Kiyoshi for the Hard Gold Bank, who else will be able to do the job?
If I combine Hard Gold Bank and Hard Gold Capital into one and put Kobayashi Kiyoshi in charge of it, it makes me worry that it will become too big in the future. People, inevitably, will not expand and then forget the past.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly.
Miyazaki Ryui was the one who truly realized that the true intention of the boss was to let himself know that even if he soared to great heights, he should not forget what it was like to be down and out without a door in the first place.
“I do have such a candidate here. It’s not professional, but it’s absolutely loyal to you.” Miyazaki Ryui said in a serious manner.
“Tell me about it.” Justice Kishimoto said casually.
“Oda Flytoru.” Miyazaki Ryui raised his recommendation with a serious face without a meticulous smile.
“First, she’s not suitable. Second, she’s also guaranteed not to do it.” Masayoshi Kishimoto knew this one woman, Ota Asuka. Her strong point was to specialize in the administrative side of things, but she lacked a holistic and big picture view.
The head of a company, that required a holistic and big picture view. That is to say one could be unprofessional and not understand some things, but not be able to not come up with the necessary decisions.
“Then I don’t know who else is more suitable.” It wasn’t that Miyazaki Ryui didn’t know, but he himself wasn’t in the same league as the others.
Both he and Oda Feiqi were the earliest patriarchs of the company in the first place. Their alliance could advance and retreat together. Not to mention that he himself didn’t want Ota Fei Toru to be exiled.
At that time, there would be no one here at the group headquarters that he could trust. There would be no one to give himself a heads up in advance if there were any windfalls.
“I broke the rules. Ben had agreed to just drink with you.” Justice Kishimoto took the initiative to digress and said.
