Chapter 611 Annual Meeting

After the first lucky winner received the keys to the Toyota, he went back towards his seat. The hostess was filled with smiles as she said, “Please ask Chairman Kishimoto to draw the second lucky winner of the Toyota automobile for us.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto walked over to the raffle box again, put his right hand is into it, and drew one from it randomly. Without even looking at the number, he directly handed it over to the hostess.

The hostess took the ticket stub, but did not read it out directly, and began to appetizingly said, “Do you want to know how many numbers are in my hand?”

A lot of people here are with more or less excited and nervous mood is the same voice answered: “want.”

“Since you want to, I’ll read it out. The second Toyota winner is #1892. Congratulations to number 1892.” The hostess smiled.

At this time, the cameras began another round of searching the field. A young OL woman, under thirty, stood up with a scream.

Her coworkers were applauding and congratulating her. Even she herself did not expect that she would win the first prize.

“Will the winners please come to the stage to collect your car keys.” The male host reminded.

The second lucky winner was feeling like she brought the wind with her as she walked. After she came on stage, she first bowed forty-five degrees towards the crowd on stage, then it was a ninety-degree bow towards Masayoshi Kishimoto.

Masayoshi Kishimoto received another Toyota car key from the hand of a concierge lady was delivered to this lucky employee of his.

“Now, we ask Chairman Kishimoto to draw the last lucky person who will be able to obtain a Toyota automobile in this round.” The male host said seriously.

For the third time, Masayoshi Kishimoto stood in front of the raffle box, and for the third time, he put his hand inside to touch it. At the same time, many people’s moods were becoming more and more nervous.

People were often like that. If no one won the lottery, it didn’t matter if they didn’t win. The problem was that when an individual personally saw that someone in front of them had won the lottery, then they wanted to win more and more.

Masayoshi Kishimoto drew out the third ticket stub and turned his hand over to the hostess. He still didn’t bother to look at the number on it.

The hostess didn’t intentionally sell out this time, but instead blurted out, just when everyone thought she would, “Number 4. The lucky winner of the third Toyota is number 4.”

Kazuya Takahashi, who was sitting in the middle of Rie Sakai and Takayuki Minamino, was in complete disbelief that he too would win the lottery. He stood up slowly with a few bewildered looks on his face.

“This one doesn’t count. I’ll redraw.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

Takahashi Kazuya rushed at him standing on the stage, “How can it not count? I’m also an employee of the Hard Gold Group! You can’t treat me one way or the other.”

“Not only do you not count, but drawing any executive’s number doesn’t count, it has to be redrawn. Otherwise, people will think that we’re intentionally operating in the dark, and aren’t genuinely giving the benefits to the employees.” Justice Kishimoto said bluntly.

“Hearing you say that makes me slightly more balanced inside my heart.” Kazuya Takahashi certainly didn’t care about that one Toyota.

Even if he was lucky enough to win the lottery, he couldn’t afford to lose his poise and demeanor as one of the group’s executives on such an occasion.

“And what is your remaining imbalance?” Justice Kishimoto asked with a smile.

“I don’t care, I’m not listening, anyway, you have to buy me a drink tonight. Otherwise, it won’t make up for the internal damage you just did to me with that comment.” Kazuya Takahashi snickered.

“Fine, I’ll buy you a drink tonight, one and all.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“I’m completely comfortable inside my heart. So comfortable! Then you can smoke again now.” Takahashi Kazuya said as he sat down with another smile.

This unarranged and impromptu conversation between the two caused some of the people present to be unable to hold back their laughter. The bosses and executives who were regarded as serious by the ordinary employees also had a rather humorous side.

Masayoshi Kishimoto reached into the raffle box for the fourth time and drew out another ticket stub. This time, he looked at the ticket stub before handing it over to the hostess.

The hostess took the ticket stub and said, “No. 8856, the third lucky winner of the Toyota automobile. The third lucky winner of the Toyota automobile is number 8856.”

Before the words fell, there was already a middle-aged man who stood up and waved his arms with “Oye”, which seemed to bring him back to the time when he was young.

He went up to the stage and bowed ninety degrees to Masayoshi Kishimoto, just like the two men before him. Even if he was older than the other, he was still one of the other’s employees.

Kishimoto Masayoshi took the keys of the Toyota from the concierge lady and handed them over to him, “Go for it.”

The middle-aged man received such a verbal encouragement from his boss, and couldn’t help but bow deeply to him once again.

The middle-aged crisis for young people, will not have a half a star of the actual feeling. Young people will not even think about such a thing.

Only when a person really enters middle age, will he or she have the most personal feelings. Personal physical strength and energy are not as good as young people, but still worry about whether they will be laid off by the company in the future?

The burden of a family’s livelihood falls on their own body, so careless not. Even for a company as big as Hard Gold Group, there will still be layoffs.

Even if you don’t get laid off, you’re very likely to get a pay cut and a transfer. This is not an easy and pleasant thing to do once it happens to one’s self.

As people get older, the expenses they have to pay increase accordingly. Children’s tuition fees, school fees and so on. Wife’s beauty expenses, cosmetics ……

On top of that, there is the mortgage, the family’s daily living expenses such as food, drink, transportation, and so on. This is not at all the young time when a person is living single.

He was able to go home with such a prize as a Toyota automobile, and his wife and children would surely be happy for him. At that time, his position as the head of the family would shine in their minds.

After drawing the three first prizes, Masayoshi Kishimoto slowly moved his feet to return to his seat and sat down.

The hostess smiled brightly and said, “Those who didn’t win the prizes earlier, don’t be completely disappointed. Later on, we will also conduct a lucky draw from time to time. Next, please enjoy a song and dance performance first.”

The lights dimmed slightly, and while the two hosts on the stage retreated, the raffle box was also pushed to the side by a special person to guard it.

With the sound of music, the lights were once again lit up. The dancers ran out one by one from the two sides behind the stage in an orderly manner. They used their body movements is to show a cheerful atmosphere.
