Chapter 474: Female Colleagues
Takahashi Kazuya didn’t make any decisions about the things that needed to be decided above the meeting, and all of them were pushed to wait for Masayoshi Kishimoto to come back and let the other party make the decision.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that even if he decided, none of them would do what he said.
As soon as the person turned around, they would go straight to Kishimoto Masayoshi on the phone. Instead of doing things that didn’t make much sense, it was better to just let it go.
Among the executives of the Hard Gold Group, there hadn’t been many changes in people’s hearts and minds. However, there were more speculations among the middle-level cadres.
Some people were weighing whether they should stand on Kazuya Takahashi’s side or Takayuki Nanno’s side.
After the meeting was adjourned, those who stayed at the headquarters went back to their own ministers’ offices, and those who returned to their subsidiaries went back to their respective companies’ premises.
Takahashi Kazuya’s butt sitting in his office chair is not yet warm, there is a female colleague is the initiative to bring a cup of coffee in front of him.
“Boss, I heard that you guys had another tearing match at your regular senior management meeting?” The female coworker asked bluntly.
Takahashi Kazuya picked up the coffee, but did not drink it. He slowly fell backward onto the back of the chair, and asked with a smile on his face, “How often is it that you don’t tear each other apart at the regular meetings of the senior management?”
“When you say it like that, it’s true. Boss, are you getting a high promotion?” The female coworker looked at the open doorway and said.
“And where did you hear this gossip from? How come I don’t know? This kind of rumor should be stopped.” Takahashi Kazuya sat up straight, directly placing the coffee in his hand on top of the desk, and said righteously.
“It’s not just in our legal department, other departments are also saying this one thing.” Female coworker truthfully told.
“Other departments, I don’t care. However, don’t say such things inside my department anymore. This is a normal work arrangement that can no longer be normal.
When it is misinterpreted by some of you, it becomes something abnormal. It’s possible that the next time the Chairman goes on a business trip, Takayuki Nanno will take over all matters for him. Or, if it’s Ota Hidetori who’s ordered to take over, it’s not certain.”
Takahashi Kazuya’s heart wasn’t without a clue, and it was because of this one thing that Minamino Takayuki was a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He had no ambition, but he was forced to get involved in it.
When he thought about it carefully, could it be that Justice Kishimoto could not have predicted it? Of course not. Why had the other party asked him to act as the temporary chairman?
He, Takayuki Nanno, was Masayoshi Kishimoto’s best friend. Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t have any reason to instigate the relationship between himself and Takayuki Minamino.
Could it be that Masayoshi Kishimoto had some other opinion of Takayuki Minamino? As far as he knew, there was no possibility. For this reason, he was puzzled.
“In fact, I think it’s because the Lord trusts you more than Minister Nanno.” The female coworker said with one eye still fixed on the open office door.
Kazuya Takahashi was unimpressed, “If it’s really according to what you say, I should have been the temporary replacement in the past. In terms of frequency and length of time, Minister Nanno has been there more often and for longer than I have. Don’t make any wild guesses.”
“Where would that be a blind guess? I hope most of all that you, Minister, will be able to advance to the executive position first by a hundred feet.” The female colleague expressed her loyalty.
“Are you running out of things to do?” Takahashi Kazuya said, not wanting to continue this topic that was most likely to move on.
The female coworker instantly understood what the boss meant. She immediately excused herself and said, “Then I’ll go out first.”
Takahashi Kazuya watched her turn and walk out before he once again picked up the coffee on top of his desk to drink. He had never wanted to compete with Takayuki Nanno.
He realized that if he thought that way, it might not be the same for Takayuki Nanno. He also didn’t blame Masayoshi Kishimoto for having this appointment. Even if it didn’t happen this time, it would happen sometime in the future.
Kazuya Takahashi certainly knew the complexity of human relationships. This would become even more complicated once interest was involved again.
People only see the good of having money and power, but they don’t see that the other side is the fight to the death between people in order to get money or power.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, there is nothing to be envied. After all, people often only see the victor’s scenery, but did not see the loser’s tragic end.
Is such a defeat something one can afford? On such a question, ordinary people are generally not to think about, often a brain only think about success.
Takahashi Kazuya was not interested in the position of group company executive. He was already satisfied with his current position.
Inside his head, he was thinking about what he could do to make it to the next level. He was thinking that Kobayashi Kiyoshi and Yamaguchi Katsuhei were two completely different talents.
Even if there had been an argument at today’s weekly meeting, it wouldn’t affect the fact that there was both a competitive and sympathetic relationship between them.
Kobayashi Kiyoshi is the most typical representative of the academic school. He graduated from the University of Tokyo, majoring in finance, but also worked for many years in the head office of the Bank of Mitsubishi, the youngest section chief ever.
If not for that one turning point in his life, he would have been on his way up. However, the path of life is not one that can be fully designed by oneself.
Yamaguchi Katsuhei and Kobayashi Kiyoshi’s paths were completely opposite. He was a wild card. He graduated from junior high school and started working.
He started out by moving bricks at a construction site, doing anything and everything, and was able to do it well. This also destined him to be a multi-faceted.
Similarly, if he hadn’t been too straightforward and exposed some of the inner workings of the construction industry, he wouldn’t have been ostracized and ended up in the slums of Adachi Ward.
Kazuya Takahashi suddenly came to a realization. I’m afraid that the reason why Kobayashi Kiyoshi and Yamaguchi Katsuhei were able to sympathize with each other was that both of them had had a sharp turnaround at a time when they were happy in their lives.
Therefore, they were the only ones who truly had that kind of biting tangible experience. The bond between himself and Takayuki Nanno lies in the fact that they grew up together. Can friendship really be relied upon?
For the first time in his life, Takahashi Kazuya was skeptical about the friendship between them. The only thing he could do was to convey his most sincere thoughts to Nanno Takayuki, and not to argue with him.
If the other party did not believe it, there was really no way. It wasn’t as if he was going to cut out his heart and show it to him, was it? Leaving to avoid strife was tantamount to betraying Kishimoto’s justice. Nanno Takayuki was his best friend, and Kishimoto Masayoshi was likewise his best friend.
