What's happening?!

Nagano Naoto was stunned.

He just wanted to make a joke to get Kikkawa excited, but he never expected that Kikkawa would suddenly fall to his knees on the ground.

What does it feel like? Nagano Nao didn't know what to feel at this moment.

His mind went blank as he stared blankly at Kikukawa who was kneeling on the ground, not knowing how to react.

After all, he never thought that a grown man would kneel down in public because of a joke.

Even if I looked a little unhappy just now, I shouldn't have made a mistake at work! Okay!

This is the cultural difference!

There are a lot of lazy people in the Japanese workplace, but at the same time, they still have a kind of Bushido spirit and a militaristic spirit in their bones.

Kikukawa was in charge of the promotional copy this time. Nagano Nao disliked that advertising copy. In this situation, Kikukawa tried his best to make an effort and said that he would take full responsibility if he failed.

This is equivalent to issuing a military order.

If it is wartime, the only option is to commit suicide by disembowelment. Even if you are afraid of the pain, you have to ask others to help you commit suicide.

Although it is not necessary now, he knows that he cannot bear the responsibility, and his only choice is to kneel down and admit his mistake.

time.

It seems to have stagnated.

Shinno Kikukawa knelt on the ground with his head down, his face full of pain and unwillingness.

It is not easy for an employee like him to stand out. He thought that this confident plan would succeed, so he dared to take full responsibility.

But I never expected that the result would be so cruel.

The rule in the workplace has always been that subordinates bear the consequences and superiors take the lion's share of the credit. It is conceivable that Nagano Nao must have pushed all the problems onto himself in front of the minister.

In this case, kneeling down and admitting your mistake will not result in your dismissal, but if you dare to shirk your responsibility, the only consequence that awaits you is probably dismissal.

asshole!

Why is this world so unfair!!

Damn it! Why doesn't this world give me even a single chance?

Two breaths later.

Seeing Kikukawa Shinno kneeling on the ground with a look of reluctance and pain, Nagano Nao felt guilty.

If I tell this guy that I was joking at this time, I won’t be beaten to death, right? Ahem!

Looks like we're going to win big this time!

Nagano Nao was a little panicked in his heart, but his face remained calm. Not only that, looking at Kikukawa kneeling on the ground in pain, even his desire for money diminished a lot.

This is the power of power! Just by turning a little dark, I can scare people to their knees.

Money, can you do it?

With a feeling of expansion and comfort, Nagano Nao said seriously: "Kikawa, since you are still willing to take responsibility at this time, please accept all the consequences."

"Kikawa will definitely bear all the consequences!!"

Kikukawa Shinno said this with a painful expression on his face, his heart filled with bitterness and sorrow.

"The Minister is very appreciative of this plan. If everything goes well in the future, you may be promoted to department head!"

Nagano Nao said with a serious face.

But honestly, that one might bring endless possibilities.

Even though Yuan Guangrong hinted at something, who knows if his words count or not.

But to Kikukawa Shinno, it was like being hit on the head with a gold brick, making him dizzy.

Aren't you going to punish me? How come there is another chance for promotion! He is just a student from a third-rate university. Even if he does not make mistakes at work, without any connections, he will only be able to become a department head at the age of 40 or 50.

But now, at the age of only 26, he actually has the hope of becoming the department head!

"Your Excellency is saying." Kikukawa Shinno asked in disbelief.

Nagano Nao patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are so responsible and my efforts are worth it. The director has affirmed your efforts. I think if nothing unexpected happens, you will have a great chance of becoming the department head."

The Lord actually mentioned me in front of the director? Compared to the possibility of promotion, Kikukawa Shinno couldn't believe these words. It was too unreal that the boss would give the credit to the subordinates.

But if it weren't so, how could I have the chance to become the department head! A deep feeling of emotion and ecstasy arose spontaneously.

It turns out that the master was just testing my loyalty. Fortunately, I have always been loyal to the section chief! With this thought, Kikukawa Shinno did not get up, but knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your cultivation. Kikukawa will always remember your kindness."

"Get up! Whether you can become the department head depends on your performance in the future. Keep working hard!"

"Kikawa will definitely work hard!"

“.”

A farce came to an end.

But Kikkawa Shinno's eyes still contained respect, admiration, and a sense of emotion.

This is really frustrating.

The office is so small, there is nowhere to hide.

Nagano Nao felt that he was too thin-skinned, so he had to get up and go to Toho Entertainment to see how the commercial was being filmed.

The tiger is gone.

The monkeys in the office immediately became lively.

Omura Jiichi said with envy: "Kikukawa-kun, you are so lucky! I didn't expect you to have the opportunity to rise to prominence so soon!"

"Omura, why do you think this is luck? It's because of your care that I got this opportunity!"

"Since the master is not here, you should stop flattering him. But speaking of it, this master is really unique. He actually gave you this opportunity."

"Omura, please be respectful to the adults! A fierce dragon who dares to challenge the authority of his seniors as an intern is not something that people like us can guess."

What a flatterer! Omura Jiichi cursed in his heart.

But imagining Nagano's straight man as an out-of-place alternative seems to become normal.

After all, this guy has offended all his predecessors. If he wants to get things done, he definitely needs his own direct descendants.

Obviously, the other party is cultivating confidants!

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

Men are afraid of following the wrong person.

If that's the case, maybe following this guy might be my chance.

The other side.

Because they were not sure whether the advertisement could be filmed in one take, Toho Entertainment chose a new filming location, the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward.

The so-called Imperial Palace is where the Japanese emperor lives.

However, there are no restrictions on tourists visiting and taking photos in the outer areas, including the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens, the Imperial Palace East Gardens and the Kitanomaru Park, which are separated by a moat.

In Gaien, you can see the Double Bridge that spans the moat. Although you can't go up, it is the innermost view of the Imperial Palace that tourists can see, and it is a popular place for taking photos.

The East Imperial Garden is a large garden of the royal family where you can take a walk and admire many historical buildings and courtyard scenery.

Chidorigafuchi, located in the northwest, is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo. Next to it is Kitanomaru Park, where citizens usually come to run, ride bicycles or take a walk for leisure.

When you arrive at the Imperial Palace Outer Gardens, you will see the iconic bronze statue of a samurai on horseback and the city walls that have an ancient and solemn feel, followed by a large square surrounded by many trees.

The road is paved with gravel, which makes a rustling sound when you step on it. It is said that it was designed in ancient times to prevent ninja night attacks. Continue forward and you will soon see the elegant and exquisite Nijubashi Bridge.

Walk northeast, along the moat and city wall, all the way to Otemon Gate, where there is a stone bridge leading into the city, where the Imperial Palace East Gardens are located.

After taking out his work ID and getting a small badge from the guard at the door, Nagano Nao walked a few dozen meters and saw a woman in a white kimono with cherry blossoms flying in the sky.

From afar, the delicate and flawless face, eyes like water, with a spirit, vivid and moving, the fluttering clothes slowly falling from the sky, revealing a temperament that is not tainted by the world, like a goddess descending from the sky. (End of this chapter)
