Chapter 479 The Ministry

At lunch time, in the middle of a private room of a crab restaurant in the Central District, Sato Hidetaka and Miyazaki Ryui were sitting face to face.

“I remember that this king crab from Kamchatka is your favorite.” Sato Hidetaka said bluntly.

“You really have a heart. If you have something to say, just say it!” Miyazaki Ryui responded calmly.

“I’ve been your subordinate since the very beginning of our company’s hay day, and accompanied you to Seoul, Korea to establish the first office.

After all these years, I was still left behind in the Seoul, Korea office. I would like to come back under your command.” Sato Hidetaka said in a serious manner.

Miyazaki Ryui understood that the other party meant that he wanted to be transferred back to Tokyo to work. As he ate the crab, he said without haste, “Isn’t Seoul, South Korea good? It’s also an international metropolis.

Not only does it have food, drink and entertainment, but it also has women of all colors, so it’s not bad at all. You are also one of the company’s old employees in the early days. You’ve also long since been promoted to the position of head of the Seoul, Korea office.”

The imbalance in Sato Hidehide’s center stemmed from this. Initially, he himself was Miyazaki Ryui’s deputy. Nowadays, the other party had become the president of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hard Gold Group, one of the executives.

He himself was named the head of the Seoul office in South Korea, while in reality, he was at the level of a division chief. The gap was widening.

This was not the thing that made him most desperate. The thing he was most worried about was not letting himself work in this position for the rest of his life until he retired.

Sato Hidetaka’s heart longed for a little more progress upwards. Even if he couldn’t, he wanted to return to Tokyo to work.

“If I continue to work in Seoul, Korea, I’ll be at the top of my game, and my future will be bleak. Although Hard Gold E-Commerce is a new company that has only recently been established, there is a lot of room for growth.

I’m hoping to have a chance to flex my muscles.” Sato Hidetaka hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he made peace with his truest thoughts and said.

Miyazaki Ryui knew that his words were some truthful words saying, “You have a good relationship with Yamada Mirai, so why don’t you go and beg him, instead you came to beg me?”

“There’s no one up and down the group who doesn’t know that I’m your man.” Sato Hidetaka took the initiative to pick up the bottle of wine in front of himself to pour the other party a drink and said.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t taken the initiative to beg the head of the secretary’s office, Yamada Mirai. This matter of transferring back to Tokyo to work just couldn’t come to fruition. Not only that, but he was also reprimanded by the other party.

He knew that, according to the normal procedure within the group company, he had to submit an application to the personnel department at the group headquarters, and then the personnel department would evaluate him and so on.

As a matter of fact, the Minister of Personnel has a great deal of say, that is to say, as long as Nanno Takayuki nods his head, then it can be completely taken care of.

The problem was that he and Takayuki Nanno had never crossed paths. In the past, he had been a subordinate of Miyazaki Ryui, and that had put him in Miyazaki’s faction.

Moreover, there was another problem between Miyazaki Ryui and Nanno Takayuki that was well known within the group. When Miyazaki Ryui stepped down from his position as head of the San Francisco office, he took the initiative to recommend his former deputy to replace him.

This was originally the norm, just as when Ryui Miyazaki stepped down as head of the Seoul office in South Korea, he was replaced by his own deputy.

However, the special significance of the position of head of the U.S. office in San Francisco is that it contains the president’s recognition, which means that it can be promoted in the future. Kobayashi Kiyoshi did so, and so did Miyazaki Ryui.

In the end, Miyazaki Ryui’s deputy in the U.S. San Francisco office did not take the position of head as a matter of course, but instead went to one of his own people arranged by Nanno Takayuki.

He searched and searched and searched, and had no choice but to come directly to Miyazaki Ryui. Miyazaki Ryui could have given the personnel department of the group headquarters the name of who he wanted. And when the personnel department of the group company encountered such a situation, it would usually comply.

Furthermore, the deputy who used to follow Miyazaki Ryui in San Francisco in the United States was transferred back to Tokyo to work in the same way. Nowadays, that person holds the position of Operations Director of Hard Gold E-Commerce. Again, it was considered a high promotion.

Miyazaki Ryui picked up his wine glass and drank it up with a tilt of his head. He didn’t put down the glass, but instead held it in his hand and played with it for a while, “Words can’t be said like that.

If people with ulterior motives were to hear it, they would think that I, Miyazaki Ryui, specialize in my own clique within the group of companies, disregarding the interests of the entire company.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Sato Hidetaka replied respectfully.

It wasn’t like Miyazaki Ryui didn’t know this one man on the other side well, after all, they had worked together. By all accounts, Satou Hidetaka was also considered an old employee.

At the moment, the other party still stayed in this section chief level position is a bit low, and the branch minister level is in line with its seniority.

This is even his junior Kato Rumiko has reached the Hong Kong office in charge of the post, that is, and he is at the same level.

The problem is that the other side in addition to the Korean language as a skill, there is really not much in the work above the outstanding talent. If you have to say what other talents, that is private relations.

In the past, it was not easy to recruit such a person when the company was in its infancy. Nowadays, a recruitment out, will be able to recruit countless job seekers.

Among them, there are many Korean-Japanese who are fluent in Korean. No one would be reluctant to be sent to Seoul, Korea.

The point is not that it’s hard to find a job, but that the current Hard Gold Group is a big player. How many people’s dream is to work for a big hand company as a full member?

What Miyazaki Ryui urgently needed was not the kind of people who pledged allegiance to him, but various talents related to e-commerce. As the president of Hard Gold E-Commerce himself, he was not having a good time at the moment.

He was not only doing things under tremendous pressure, but he also had to do things well, and absolutely could not let down the trust that Chairman Masayoshi Kishimoto had placed in him.

He was not without consideration that if he let Sato Hidetaka come to work at Hard Gold Electric, it would be impossible to give the other party a minister on top of his position.

This might not be good enough to invite Takayuki Nanno to face himself in public at a high-level meeting. He was already overriding Kobayashi Kiyoshi’s many grievances against himself.

To put pressure on himself again was tantamount to asking for death. How could he possibly go to war with Takayuki Nanno over a mere Hidetaka Sato?

In addition, there was also the trouble of arranging positions, and the other party would probably not be willing to give the other party a section chief. Returning to Tokyo is one aspect, but the most important aspect is to get a promotion and a raise.

Miyazaki Ryui put down the empty cup in his hand, neither agreeing nor rejecting, ambiguously saying, “Be patient, everything needs a gradual process.”
