Chapter 563 – Pantry
Inside Hard Gold Media’s pantry, Watanabe Saki and Nanjo Nana met up. They each held a cup of coffee in their hands, taking advantage of nothing to spare was to adjust.
“I heard that the chairman’s big wedding is approaching, and you, as the chairman and the chairman’s wife’s hometown and the chairman’s wife’s best friend, should have gotten the wedding invitation a long time ago, right?”
Nanjou Nana had something in her words. The purpose of her intentionally saying this was, for one thing, to test whether the other party was really as good as they had said in the past, and that both parties were on good terms.
The other was that anyone who could attend the chairman’s wedding, even if they weren’t rich or wealthy, were his or the chairman’s wife’s friends and family.
This general relationship of people, certainly will not get the wedding of that one invitation, after all, the upper class things, like their own such plebeians will just spectate to see a hilarious.
“Not only did I get an invitation to the wedding, but I was also one of Rie’s bridesmaids. For this reason, I’m really agonizing.” Watanabe Saki said with a slight frown on her brow.
“What do you have to be distressed about?” Nanjo Nana didn’t say it explicitly even though she could guess a little.
“Although the bridesmaids’ outfits were prepared by the bride’s side, so I don’t have to worry about what to wear, I still need to bring my own casual clothes, after all, the wedding will be held on top of a private cruise ship, the Tsukigami.
The Luna, you know? It’s a gift from the chairman to my best friend Rie. The official name of the ship is Luna, Rie’s English name.
I’m getting ahead of myself. I’m really worried about the jewelry, I don’t know what to use. I can afford to buy ordinary accessories without any financial pressure, but it’s not formal enough for an occasion like that.
If I spend money to buy Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany and other international brands of jewelry accessories, then I have to use credit card installments.
It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. By the way, I almost forgot, I have to prepare an expensive evening gown. It’s going to cost so much money again, I’m going crazy.” Watanabe Saki wasn’t pretending, but was genuinely troubled.
On one hand, she herself was extremely proud that she was the only one in the entire Hard Gold Group, aside from the executives, who had gotten an invitation to the Chairman’s big wedding.
On the other hand, with her current income in the eyes of ordinary people, it was already very good. However, the fact that she was about to walk into the circle of high society made her feel stretched above her income.
As a person, especially a woman, she naturally wouldn’t tolerate others to make a judgment just from her clothes, and then show contempt for herself.
For this self-respect, of course, she has to pay a very high price for it. It’s like the initial thoughts of the heroine in Maupassant’s short story “The Necklace”.
Onlookers would naturally think that it was just a woman’s vanity at work, while in reality, it was completely all too normal for anyone who was such a party to have such a heart.
“I would like to have the same affliction as you, but I am not able to ah! Although you will spend a lot of money this time, and even go into some debt, but in the future you can slowly pay it back.
Our company is neither likely to close down and go bankrupt, nor will we make a layoff on you. Besides, the things you bought are not just for this one time.
In the future, you can still continue to use it. The most important thing is that you can get in touch with really rich people, and you don’t have to worry that the other party is an impostor.
That one is the point. It’s not like we haven’t seen men posing as rich people among the people we met at the sorority.” Nanjou Nana envied.
“Now that you’re talking about layoffs, I’ve heard that the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House side will have one-third of its staff laid off by the head office.” Watanabe Saki said as she took a sip of the coffee inside her cup.
“What are you nervous about one? It’s not like it has any half a star to do with us. Even if we, Hard Gold Denshi, keep losing money and haven’t shown any signs of profitability yet, we’re still a dear son.
Besides, the president is quite optimistic about our side’s development prospects. Not long ago, that medium-sized logistics company called Tokyo Takkyubin was acquired, and then was it subsumed into our Hard Gold Denshi?
Even if there is pressure, the one who is under the most pressure is our President Miyazaki. Moreover, we are the ones who were sent down from the headquarters.
Even if Hard Gold Denshi were to lay off employees, it wouldn’t be on our heads. Even if it’s sold or closed, we’ll still be transferred back to headquarters to await reassignment from the personnel department.
Even I wouldn’t worry about something, and you’re still worrying about it?” Nanjou Nana said with a disbelieving attitude that was making a reasonable analysis.
Watanabe Saki of course understood such a reasoning as well saying, “It’s just to talk to you.”
“What’s there to talk about with this kind of thing. It’s hard to believe that you want to use this opportunity to transfer over?” Nanjou Nana said thoughtfully.
Watanabe Saeki made a common Japanese girl’s hand waving gesture with her left palm on her face and said, “There’s absolutely no such thing.”
“We’ve always had a good relationship, haven’t we! You don’t want to leave me behind and go over there alone.” Nanjou Nana deliberately lowered her voice is before she said those words.
She wasn’t worried that the Hard Gold Electric Chamber would go bankrupt and close down, and then she herself would lose her job. What she was thinking about inside her head was her personal future and development.
The most direct thing was about money. Among the five direct subsidiaries of Hard Gold Group, Hard Gold Capital, Hard Gold Construction, Hard Gold Media, Hard Gold Bank and Hard Gold E-Commerce, the Hard Gold E-Commerce that she was in was the only one that didn’t give out half-yearly prizes.
This thing also can make sense, after all, their own company is always in order to build the market, are in the continuous loss of money.
The company can be on time to cash their wages and overtime, is already very good. Wanting to get a bonus was simply not justified.
“Didn’t I already tell you? It’s really something that won’t happen.” Watanabe Saki once again made her attitude and stance clear saying.
Nanjou Nana would be skeptical, “Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House was originally a large profit-making enterprise. Although it was given a spin-off by the chairman, it was also a relevant categorization and integration of its original business.
Hard Gold Construction is just too inappropriate for us girls. Although Hard Gold Media is good, I am more attracted to Hard Gold Bank.
Banking has always been a front-runner among high-income fields. It’s not like the Hard Gold Bank side only wants males like the Hard Gold Capital side.”
“I’m afraid you’ll be in for a real treat if someone who’s fiddling with right and wrong hears that.” Watanabe Saki suddenly laughed and said.
“I’m just saying that, it’s not like I can do whatever I want.” Nanjo Nana shrugged her shoulders and said.
