Chapter 16 Late meeting (1)
Ai Fei took out a cigarette and handed it to Fuji Takeuchi. He went there and didn't smoke it, but just looked at him with his shoulders, which made Fuji Takeuchi a little embarrassed. He held a cigarette in his hand, and it was neither sucking nor sucking: "Sir?"
"I'm very disappointed with you, Fuji-kun."
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Fuji Takeuchi quickly put the cigarette aside, lowered his hands to both sides of his thighs, bowed 90°, and then stood up straight after a few seconds: "I'm very sorry!"
"Do you know the purpose of my return this time, Fuji-kun?"
"Eh?" Fuji Takeuchi was stunned for a moment: "Hi Yi! I know that the president came back this time to take charge of the overall situation for the airport expansion project."
"It's good that you know." Ai Fei's face tightly said: "You know the purpose of my return this time. As the vice president, you sang against me in the conference room? What kind of impact will this have on the staff? Don't you know that for them, the company's upper-level leaders are the main factor that can make them exert all their energy and spirit? Even you, the vice president, objected to my decision, and how can I lead everyone to success?"
"I'm sorry! Very... sorry!"
"I once said that there should be a good working atmosphere in the company, and there should be an atmosphere where everyone and everyone can express their opinions, but it is definitely not in such an occasion. You, as my deputy vice president, sings the opposite tune with me!"
Reiko Kato was stunned: I really didn't expect that this president, who was always gentle and gentle, had a smile on his face, would be so scary? Looking at Fuji Takeuchi's appearance, he was almost kneeling to the ground?
Ai Fei did not stop roaring: "This time I came back just to get a share of the project and take charge of the overall situation. When the matter is over, I will return to the United States. How can I leave with confidence with your performance now?"
"I'm sorry!" Fuji Takeuchi couldn't say anything, and he only knew how to apologize.
Ai Fei got angry and finally waved his hand: "Let this be put in advance. You don't have to be responsible for the project. You have considered how to handle the operation and planning of the TV station in recent times. Before I leave Japan, this matter must be determined."
Hearing that his tone showed signs of ease, Fuji Takeuchi stood up straight, but still lowered his head: "Hi! I understand."
"There is one more thing. Kato Kun's place... I know you and him are very good colleagues and friends. I will find time to talk to him in detail and persuade him to take back his life as much as possible."
"Hey? Didn't the President accept his resignation?"
"Are you confused?" Ai Fei scolded him fiercely: "I just accepted his resignation, but I have not agreed to it yet! Moreover, even from the perspective of financial considerations, Kato Kwan will retire approximately next year, right? According to this calculation, if he resigns now, he will suffer a great loss in his income. Well, this is also a reason for him to continue to stay."
"Yes! I understand. I will convey the President's words to Kato Kan truthfully."
When Fuji Takeuchi walked out of the office, Ai Fei looked at the time. It was already around 5 o'clock in the afternoon: "Miss Reiko?"
"Hi?"
"Today I have a conversation with Fujikun. After you go home, you also say to Kato Kun, "Well, my opinion will not change. I still hope that he can take back his resignation."
"Well?"
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Hi! When I was at home, my father never talked about work to me. Even if I wanted to tell him, he would refuse."
Ai Fei didn't expect such a thing. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "You mean, you and Kato Jun wouldn't talk about things in the company at home?"
"Hi! That's exactly."
"Bang!" The office door was knocked, and Ai Fei swallowed it back without saying anything: "Come in."
The door opened, Tanaka Rui was in front, and Hideo Watanabe with a smile on his face was behind. The two bowed and bowed: "Mr. President?"
"Watanabe? Are you here?"
"Hi Yi! Mr. President, good afternoon."
Ai Fei was so smellless that he said: "Well, good afternoon. Watanabe Jun. Haven't seen Watanabe Jun recently?"
"Hi Yi! I was entrusted by Minister Tanaka to go to Osaka to deal with some things. I just came back."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Where!" Watanabe Hideo, like all the employees of the company, no longer had the friendship between old classmates, and answered respectfully: "This is all my duty."
Ai Fei felt a little strange and embarrassed to ask too much. He reached out to take the suit handed over by Reiko Kato: "Tanaka, will we set out now?"
"Yes, Mr. President, it's already 5:10 now. According to the agreed time with Iris, we will arrive at the amabu restaurant before 6:00."
"Oh, there is another very important thing. Let's go to the Finance Department first. I will give it to Iris. The first time I meet someone, I always have to prepare a gift."
There was nothing to say along the way, and Hideo Watanabe drove the two of them to the Amabu restaurant. Ai Fei had never been there, but Tanaka Rui was a regular customer - this is the place where he and Iris often meet: "Mr. President, we are here."
Watanabe Hideo opened the car door for him, and Ai Fei lowered his head and crawled out, but why did he feel uncomfortable: "Watanabe?"
"Hi Yi! What are the instructions of Mr. President?"
"Well, you won't need to be here tonight. You'd better go back."
“Eh?”
"I'll just drive the car. Go home, mom should prepare dinner for you too."
Hideo Watanabe looked at him blankly for a while, and finally bowed: "Then, I will say goodbye first."
When he drove him away, Tanaka Rui didn't understand: "Mr. President, isn't Watanabe your... classmate? Why don't he be allowed to attend tonight's banquet?"
"Do you think I just don't want to add an extra pair of chopsticks? Or am I reluctant to let him eat?"
"Hey? Ah! No, of course not, that's not what I mean."
"I know you are not." Ai Fei shook his head lonely: "Watanabe Jun is my classmate, or even my friend, but because of this, I cannot deprive him of the time he spent with his mother. You may not know. His father passed away not long ago. Well, before entering the company, right? Now there is only one mother living with him, so it's fine to go to work during the day. At night, don't bother them with their mother and son for the only time?"
Tanaka Rui nodded in a clear way: "I understand!"
"Well..." Ai Fei stopped walking inside again: "Tanaka-kun? In the future... if possible, don't arrange business trips for Watanabe-kun. As much as possible, he can go home and rest every day."
"Hi! I understand, I will definitely handle it according to the President's request."
The two walked into the restaurant gate, and Tanaka Rui retreated to welcome the receptionist and led the way in front: "This time, according to the president's request, we arranged a Japanese-style single room. You and Iris can have a very separate meeting, so you don't have to worry about anyone disturbing you. Oh, we're here."
Ai Fei looked up and saw a cross-dividing door without any nameplate standing in front of him. The horizontal fence with stripes of logs was neatly connected. The middle was covered with paper with pink patterns, rather than the pure white that can be often seen in the movie: "This is Iris' favorite color. Well, I specifically requested that the restaurant post and retained as a long-term private room."
"Cooking restaurants can even meet such requirements?"
Tanaka Rui smiled, without saying a word, and opened the door of the cross-section: "Mr. President. Please come inside!"
The area of a single room is not very large, about 40 tatamis. The cube-shaped tatamis on the ground are arranged neatly and cleanly scrubbed. One side of the window is open, and the dusk wind blows into the single room, making people feel refreshed. Outside the window sill is a pond with a small area, with pink lotus flowers blooming inside. The breeze brings the sweet fragrance of lotus flowers, which is simply a place where the gods are!
Ai Fei looked back at Tanaka Rui with satisfaction: "Did you choose this yourself?"
"Hi Yi!" Tanaka Rui was also very proud and followed Ai Fei for a long time. He knew about his psychological activities from his face and expressions. He knew that his choice not only made Iris very satisfied, but the young president must also like it: "You don't know how much verbal I spent to win such a private room. There has never been a precedent in the anaconda restaurant! Moreover, the view of this room is completely opposite to the lotus pond. In other rooms, even if you can face the lotus pond, the angle is not as good as here. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the lotus is Iris' favorite besides cherry blossoms."
"Well, it's very good." Ai Fei smiled: "Tanaka, you're doing a good job! I can't believe that the Tanaka-kun in front of me was the guy who was worried about having a good relationship with readers and their families back then! Haha!"
A pleasant girl came from outside the door of the crossing: "Good evening!"
"Oh, maybe Iris is here?" Tanaka Rui turned around and greeted: "Please come in."
"Hi!" Still the sweet female voice: "I'm disturbing!" A woman in a kimono was pulled by someone from the gate of the crossing door and kneeled down at the door: "Please!"
Ai Fei looked up and saw a tall man bent over his slippers, stepped into the room, saluting him: "I'm sorry, I'm late!"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Tanaka Rui stepped forward and bowed: "Where, we have just arrived. Iris, I will introduce you to you. This is the president of our club, Ai Feijun. Ai Feijun, this is the senior official of the Provincial Government, Iris Shinichiro Temple!"
Ai Fei took a step forward and bowed deeply: "I am Ai Fei, please take care of me."
Iris dared not be negligent, so he bowed - but the number of things was much shallower than that of him: "I am Iris Shinichiro, please take care of me."
Ai Fei stood up and then had the opportunity to formally look at the other person: Tanaka Rui did not lie to him. Iris is indeed a rare beauty. He has sword eyebrows and bright eyes, a broad nose and mouth, and is full of big ears without anger. I don’t know if he had just arrived at the restaurant directly from the department, but he was actually wearing a tuxedo.
He was looking at Iris. The latter was also looking at him with good eyes. It was not once or twice that Tanaka Rui mentioned this young and mysterious president. It was the first time he met. However, his photos were seen in newspapers and magazines. Compared with him in the photos, he seemed to be more imposing than the real person. No wonder, at the age of 21, he is now the president of a company with more than 400 people!
As the object of funding by Ai Fei and his company, Iris naturally had a deep understanding of the other party. It can be said that his successful experience and his choices all revealed his grasp of the market and the current situation. A young man who was only 19 years old could actually take out such a large amount of funds to support himself as a secondary official in the construction province. Iris asked himself that when he was 19 years old, he absolutely did not have such courage and courage.
The two of them were just looking at each other, and neither of them spoke first. Tanaka Rui curled his lips next to him: "Iris? Ai Jun?"
"Ah!" Both of them woke up at the same time, and smiled embarrassedly: "For a long time, I heard Tanaka Jun talk about Ai Jun's name, but I have never seen it for one reason or another. Today, I can finally get what I want. Ai Jun, please sit down."
"Thank you." Ai Fei and Iris sat cross-legged on the cushion: "In fact, I have wanted to visit Iris, but because the company was inaugurated, there were too many things that I had to deal with, so this matter has been delayed. Tonight Iris will be invited to have a light meal with me, it should be said that it is honored that Ai Fei is."
Iris waved her hand casually: "Let's stop talking about who is honored for this meeting! I'll come here tonight. First, I want to express my gratitude to Ai Feijun, and second, I'm going to have a party with my friends!"
Ai Fei smiled heartily: "Okay, if that's the case, we won't talk about past events, and don't say anything like thanks. Tonight, we're just a party between friends. A completely simple party, okay?"
"Haha! As Ai Jun said, no one mentioned the past." Iris clapped his hands vigorously, and a voice sounded outside the door: "Hi!"
Chapter completed!
