Chapter 136 Goodbye to Airi Yamagami, Hunting Grounds Everywhere

Lobby on the first floor of the Kamishiro Entertainment Co., Ltd. building.

"Brother Okita, you must be busy with official business, please wait a moment."

As they approached the gate, Junichi nodded slightly.

Okita Yoriichi expressed his deep regret: "I had already booked a dinner for you at Kyozai Pavilion, but I didn't expect you to have an appointment with your sweetheart. It seems we'll have to meet another day."

As he spoke, Okita Yoriichi turned his gaze to Ogasawara Kaori, who was standing next to Sei Junichi, and extended his hand with a gentle expression: "I was in too much of a hurry before. I am Okita Yoriichi. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Upon seeing this, Ogasawara Kaori was flattered and instinctively wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt before timidly grasping it: "President Okita, I, I am Ogasawara Kaori."

Okita Yoriichi, however, didn't take it to heart. He shook hands generously and then let go, smiling like a kind elder: "You are my friend, so you are also my friend. The staff at headquarters neglected you this time, which was due to my poor management. Please forgive me."

Kaori Ogasawara swallowed hard, first glancing at Junichi Sei, then back at Yoriichi Okita, feeling like she didn't have enough mouth to eat.

The chairman of a prestigious listed company was actually apologizing to someone like me, a nobody who wasn't even a full-time employee? Was I dreaming?!

"Ogasawara has always been rather introverted, so please forgive any rudeness!"

In the end, it was Sei Junichi who took the initiative to speak and nodded again.

"Haha, it's my fault, it's my fault. I was too abrupt. I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer. Please take your time on your journey."

Yoriichi Okita laughed heartily, showing no airs of a city council president whatsoever.

"Goodbye."

Junichi Sei bowed respectfully.

On the other side, once Junichi Sei had completely left the gate, Kaori Ogasawara, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain her excitement and screamed excitedly.

"ah--"

Junichi Sei, who was standing to the side, was so frightened by the deafening noise that it made his heart tremble.

Immediately afterwards, Ogasawara Kaori clenched her fists, stomped her feet, excitedly circled around Sei Junichi, then pounced on him and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

mua~

"Se-kun, you're amazing! And... and President Okita actually apologized to me personally! Am I dreaming?!"

Ignoring the stares of passersby, Ogasawara Kaori hugged Junichi Sei's neck after the kiss and shook him excitedly, muttering incredulous words.

“I see, you’re not dreaming.”

Junichi shook his head helplessly, but it was so soft and comfortable that he didn't push it away.

"What? You're being way too calm. That's the chairman of a listed company!"

Kaori Ogasawara was still reeling from that surprise and joy; she'd probably wake up laughing in her dreams tonight.

"If you really admire him that much, I can give you his contact information."

Junichi Sei said calmly.

"Sei-kun, you're so mean! You know perfectly well that's not what I meant!"

Ogasawara Kaori was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, and shook herself even more frantically, causing the clothes on their chests to completely change shape, as if she wanted to release all the shyness in her bones.

To Ogasawara Kaori's surprise, the other person's body suddenly stiffened, and even their expression suddenly turned somewhat cold.

Ogasawara Kaori's heart skipped a beat, thinking the other person had misunderstood. In her nervousness, she subconsciously loosened her grip on the other person's neck: "Se-kun, I didn't mean it..."

As Ogasawara Kaori was about to speak, she noticed that the other person's gaze didn't seem to be on her.

Relieved, I followed the other person's gaze and looked over.

Then, a girl with a slightly protruding belly appeared in her line of sight. She seemed to be handing a bento box to a man with a few strands of yellow hair on his forehead. Although he was not as handsome as Se-kun, he was still a rare handsome guy.

The other person looked at the girl with tenderness in their eyes, and when saying goodbye, they poked her forehead with two fingers, which elicited a soft moan from her. Perhaps this was a rather special way of interacting between them.

After the interaction, the woman, who was clearly married, left with a happy expression, turning back every three steps.

Similarly, the boy looked on with doting eyes, watching the girl slowly leave until her view was blocked by the pine and cypress trees by the roadside, at which point he reluctantly turned his gaze away.

Just when Ogasawara Kaori thought they were a very loving couple, the guy who had been all smiles suddenly showed disgust. He walked towards them and, when he got to the trash can at the entrance of the hall, he threw the bento box that the woman had given him into it.

Even though Kaori Ogasawara didn't consider herself a good person, she still felt a sudden, indescribable sense of disgust rise within her.

In the past few days, this feeling has become stronger and stronger, and I have even started to think about what the value of this kind of life and its meaning is.

Perhaps it was because the taste was so similar that she felt particularly averse to it.

But just as Ogasawara Kaori was lost in thought, something even more unexpected happened.

Upon entering the hall, the other party surprisingly took the arm of a middle-aged woman with a fawning expression. It just so happened that Ogasawara Kaori had met her during her interview; she was the manager of Team Four.

The agent seemed to have witnessed the previous scene as well, and his expression turned even more unpleasant.

But this guy, who seemed to be named Sato Makoto, was quite skilled. In no time, he calmed the manager down.

In particular, that statement, which was almost tantamount to killing someone's spirit, had a decisive effect:

"Don't worry, baby. Once this stupid woman's belly gets bigger, she'll cling to another idiot no matter what. And then, maybe I won't even have to break up with them; they'll fight each other to the death. My whole heart is with you."

"Hiss~"

Upon hearing this, even Ogasawara Kaori, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, couldn't help but gasp. But for some reason, seeing Se-kun's suddenly strange expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably felt that the guy someone was talking about... no, no, that's impossible.

"Get in the car first!"

At that moment, Junichi suddenly walked forward, his icy tone something Ogasawara Kaori had never heard before. She shrank back and followed him.

Unbeknownst to Junichi Se, as soon as they left, Yoriichi Okita, who had watched them depart, suddenly emerged from around the corner accompanied by his secretary. He then said calmly, "Check out that guy, I think his name is Makoto Sato. Also, check out Sakai from Group 4's recent expense records. I need to see the relevant information before I leave work."

"yes!"

"Oh, right, also remember that girl from earlier. From now on, she'll be promoted and managed as a full-time employee and an A-level resource."

The secretary standing to the side paused, a hint of envy flashing across her face, and asked curiously, "President, if that's the case, why didn't you just say so when you were facing me..."

Yoriichi Okita didn't speak, but closed his eyes slightly. Just as the elevator was about to reach the top floor, he suddenly said, "Mitsuko, how many years have you been with me?"

The secretary's heart skipped a beat, and she bowed and replied, "It's been 7 years."

Yoriichi Okita then sighed and said, "All of these old buddies from before have been given important positions or demoted to branch offices for management. Do you know why I've kept you by my side all this time?"

The secretary pursed her lips and instinctively said respectfully, "I don't know, but I know very well that it is the greatest honor for Guangzi to be by your side."

Yoriichi Okita shook his head. With his experience, how could he not see the other party's reluctance?

"Here's what we'll do. A base has recently been set up in Okinawa, and they're short-handed. Since your hometown is there, you can go there and lead the team."

"Chairman!" The secretary was startled. She knew Okinawa all too well. It was far from the headquarters' main strategic development area. It seemed like she was being demoted to an important position with a higher salary, but in reality, she was being weeded out of the inner circle.

Moreover, new projects are often venture capital investments that go from zero to one with no results; they may start and then disappear by the end of the year.

bite!

"That's fine!"

Yoriichi Okita didn't say anything more. As the elevator doors opened, he walked in expressionlessly.

He's given us more than enough chances!
