Ai Fei was shocked: "Resigned? Why did you resign? Is there any problem in the company that makes you feel unable to bear it?"

"No, Mr. President, this matter is completely my personal decision and has nothing to do with the company's own operations!" Kato Masahiro answered loudly and decisively.

"But, why? I mean, why leave the company? Or do you have a better one...I mean, there will be better development in the future?"

"No, there has never been any company or individual that can make me feel worthy of leaving everything in the company and throwing into the past."

"So, do you think your job is disproportionate to the salary you receive? If so, I can add it to you?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's not like this." Kato Mae shook his head a little panickedly: "For me, being able to serve as the editor-in-chief in the company, this kind of identity recognition and the corresponding salary I received can completely satisfy me. This resignation has nothing to do with such a thing."

After guessing several times in a row, Ai Fei became a little anxious: "So why? If you can't come up with a reason to convince me, I'm sorry, Kato-kun, I can't agree to your resignation!"

"If you must ask me to give a reason for resigning, I think I can only say that I am dissatisfied with the president's dragging away from his original trajectory!"

“Eh?”

"When we had our first meeting in the conference room, the president once said that we would work hard to build "jump" into a first-class publishing empire in the country and even the world. That would make an old man like me burn his passion and help the president work hard to achieve his final goal! Our efforts finally received results. Before you left Japan for the first time, the company and publications had surpassed the two famous news organizations in Japan, Yomiuri and Asahi, and became the most influential media organization in Japan!"

"Even later, the theater version went abroad and sent it to the United States for screening. Not to mention the situation abroad, although I did not go there in person, the intense situation told by Fuji-kun after returning to China was even more exciting. In China, this incident also caused an uproar. Countless newspapers and radio stations took the initiative to call for interviews and broadcasts, and the work of the magazine has also reached a new level."

At this point, Kato Maiichi was also a little moved: "Mr. President, at that time, my admiration and praise for you were incomparable. I know that I can finally fulfill my life's dream when I am about to enter old age! And this dream is to allow the works created by the Japanese to enter the eyes of the world and gain recognition. Correspondingly, the Japanese can also gain their recognition and respect. The lifelong hopes and dreams of an elderly person like me have been realized because of your existence."

Ai Fei lit a cigarette again: "If that's the case, why would you resign?"

"Hi Yi!" Kato Qian raised his head slowly and looked at him: "Although such successful steps are moving forward little by little under your leadership, it cannot offset my dissatisfaction with your series of decisive and new decisions after returning to China this time! Because of this contradiction that cannot be combined with my cognition, I can only choose to resign!"

Ai Fei became interested: "Be more specific."

"Yes, first of all, I cannot agree with the airport expansion project you started planning and intended to be approved. Second, I cannot agree with your idea of ​​setting up your own TV station. Third, I cannot agree with your agreement with Asashima's proposal to prepare for the construction and opening of a voice actor school."

"I understand." Ai Fei smiled bitterly: "What a strong resentment!"

“………?”

"Kato, let's analyze your reasons seriously with me. If you still want to resign after the analysis, I will not stop you. Well, it seems that the two of us have not had a formal communication for a long time, right?"

"Okay." Kato Mae didn't hesitate and sat down on the sofa: "Mr. President, just as I said just now, if it was to create the largest and most influential magazine in Japan, and even if you didn't have to pay me a salary, I would be willing to hold a very small position under your subordinates. Compared with other things, the kind of pictures that allow readers to appreciate and authors to get every royalty satisfying is definitely satisfying. So, when "Jump Anime Boy" caused a huge response in the market, I really felt the pleasure I had never seen before."

"……But now, although this feeling of pleasure has not yet passed, the President is no longer the Ai Feijun, who is devoted to the magazine and makes various benign suggestions for the development and operation of the magazine!"

"...The investment and project construction you are preparing for now are very inappropriate measures. I cannot say how much risk there is here, but instead of doing such projects that we are not very familiar with, why can't we devote all our energy and wisdom to the exploration and development of animation products that we are already very familiar with? As you said, the theatrical version of the animation works is enough to allow us to obtain the economic income we need to a greater extent! Isn't it?"

Ai Fei waited until he finished speaking and then he fully understood: "Kato, what do you mean is that you don't agree with the investment and construction I made after returning to China this time?"

Kato Mae kept looking at his clear black and white water-cut pupils. He shrank for no reason, but still nodded solemnly: "Hi! Please forgive my rudeness, but I will still stick to my point of view!"

"If I still have to stick to my decision, you will quit?"

"Hi!"

Ai Fei smacked his lips with great regret: "Kato, you are a very competent editor-in-chief and a very important assistant to me in the company. I personally have always respected you very much. Regardless of whether you can keep pace with my work or not, it can even be said that the company's magazine can achieve today's achievements and its huge influence in the minds of readers are inseparable from your work."

"..." Kato Qian felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart. From Ai Fei's words, he probably knew the other party's decision, but he could not remain silent at this time: "This is all achievements made under the leadership of the president. I dare not take credit!"

"These are two things." Ai Fei shook his head slowly: "To put it bluntly, although I am a pretty good comic book man, I am definitely not an editor of a good magazine, let alone Mr. President. The magazine's achievements are completely accomplished under your leadership." He waved his hand decisively: "Kato, we don't need to argue about this matter anymore!"

"...The following is about your resignation." Ai Fei took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Kato Kenichi, and took out one to ignite it himself. The comfortable and elegant posture was like the most standard gentleman: "Kato, I have nothing to say about your accusations. And the fact is indeed this. My personal decision has become the reason for your resignation, and it is the reason why I cannot change my resignation because of you or others. It has become an insurmountable gap between the two of us!"

"If you just want to get an explanation from me, Kato, I am willing to give it to you. If you have to express your dissatisfaction in this way, the only choice I can make is to accept your resignation! Of course, I will pay your resignation according to the number agreed in the contract."

Kato Qian's heart was cold! He never expected that Ai Fei would not even be willing to keep him at the minimum word of refusal? He just accepted my resignation like this? Isn't this a very cold person?

After lunch, everyone came to the conference room again, but saw Ai Fei sitting there earlier than everyone. There were a few cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him, and the smell of cigarettes filled the conference room: "Mr. President?"

"Ah? You're all here? Please sit down." Ai Fei waved his hand casually: "Oh, Miss Lianzi, go and notify Niaoyujun and the editorial department to let them attend this meeting too."

"Hi!"

Fuji Takeuchi and others didn't know what he suddenly asked the editorial staff to do again. Didn't he just say that they wouldn't participate? "Mr. President, is there something wrong?"

"Hmm?" Ai Fei shook his head absent-mindedly, and nodded again: "Oh, let's talk about it when they come later."

Soon, Niaoyu Ankang and others came to the conference room: "Mr. President, are you looking for us?"

Ai Fei took out an envelope from his pocket, which clearly stated: "Resignation Letter". He rubbed the envelope in his hand a few times: "Just... Kato Maeichi-kun submitted his resignation to me!"

The conference room was filled with an uproar! Everyone began to whisper. In the end, Fuji Takeuchi shouted with a gloomy face: "Just, please stay calm! You guys, this is not in their respective offices, is it better to maintain a little demeanor in front of the president!"

As the crowd gradually calmed down, Fuji Takeuchi turned his face to Ai Fei: "Mr. President, is this true?"

"Yes, this is true. This is the resignation letter he just submitted." Ai Fei handed over the envelope, and the latter held it in his hand but did not unfold it: "Mr. President... What about your attitude? You won't agree to his ridiculous... decision, right?"

"I temporarily accepted his resignation, but in the end, I think I need to have some serious discussion with everyone! Nishio-kun, Tanaka-kun? I'm very sorry, our original meeting content is probably postponed."
