Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 116 Graduation Ceremony
Time quickly came to early March, and Waseda University began its annual graduation ceremony.

"Are you really not going?"

"Don't go."

Masato Takeshita shook his head again and rejected Professor Kunihiko Inoue's proposal. He had no interest in giving a speech at the graduation ceremony.

"Don't you want to recruit more college graduates?"

"Teacher, please don't fool me. Everyone has already found a job and basically won't change jobs."

Most of Waseda graduates found a good company last year. Even if they did not choose a good company last year, they would have signed a new contract in January this year.

No matter how good the content of Masato Takeshita's speech was, everyone would at most be excited for a short period of time, and then basically continue to follow the original trajectory.

"Okay, you kid."

"By the way, teacher, do you have any good recommendations? I want to recruit two assistants."

"One needs to be fluent in Chinese. I will be going there in a while."

"The other one will be recruited under normal conditions, and it would be better if he knows English."

Masato Takeshita plans to recruit two third-year students as his assistants, which is equivalent to snatching away two outstanding graduates from Waseda University of Political Science and Economics who will graduate next year.

“Know Chinese and English.”

Inoue Kunihiko muttered the same thing over and over again in a low voice, then he carefully considered the outstanding students he knew and quickly locked on a suitable target.

"OK, come when school starts in April, and I'll introduce you then."

"Well, thank you teacher!"

Graduation ceremonies at universities around the world are similar, consisting mostly of taking photos, taking souvenirs, and wearing graduation gowns.

Masato Takeshita and his classmates already have a thick barrier in their hearts, and can only watch their classmates talking and laughing with envy.

He is basically a member of society and cannot integrate into his classmates at all.

"Aren't you going to chat with everyone?"

"No, I can't go back."

"That's true."

Kunihiko Inoue looked at the students taking photos of each other and patted the shoulder of his favorite student in a comforting manner.

"Everyone still admires you. You may be a little unfamiliar with each other now, but please believe that most students are happy to make friends with you."

"I know."

Masato Takeshita is not a fool, so he naturally understands his classmate's conflicted feelings.

On the one hand, I am very proud to have such a classmate, but on the other hand, I don’t want to get too close to him.

Everyone has self-esteem, and very few gifted people will go to work at their classmate's company right after graduation, especially when the company was founded by the classmate himself.

It’s not that we are unwilling to accept the defeat, we just simply don’t want to be inferior to our classmates.

The teacher was still very busy at the graduation ceremony. After chatting with Masato Takeshita for a while, Kunihiko Inoue had to leave.

"Takeshita-san, do you want to join the party tonight?"

After Mr. Inoue left, Student Council President Hiroshi Ichii quietly walked up to him.

"Of course, this is my last party in college, of course I have to attend."

"OK, then we'll see you there."

"Well, see you there or see you."

The graduation party of Waseda University of Political Science and Economics was held in a relatively ordinary hotel.

The meals here are relatively economical and affordable, mainly to cater to students whose families are not well off.

As for poor classmates, there may be some in the future, but they will never appear during the bubble period.

Masato Takeshita can earn millions in just over ten days. Even if other students do not have his ability, they can easily achieve similar goals in a year.

Not only can it cover the tuition fees, but there will also be a lot left over, enough to support a slightly luxurious life.

College students were so blessed during the economic boom period.

It is a bit similar to the college students in a certain big country before 2008. Even if they were from an ordinary second-tier university, it was relatively easy for them to get jobs in well-known companies in that country.

At 7pm, Takeshita Masato arrived at the hotel on time. "Welcome, would you like to go up and say a few words later?"

Hiroshi Ichii was very happy that Masato Takeshita arrived on time, as he was the biggest star of their time.

"No, everyone will lose their appetite."

"how could be?"

"Really, I just hate talking. If I judge others by myself, I think everyone will feel the same way."

Masato Takeshita generally does not hold a meeting unless it is necessary.

Because conferences are not only boring, but also a huge waste of time, and most of them are an act of self-deception.

Even when he needs to convey information to all employees, he prefers to do so in the form of documents.

Or you can convey the content accurately to everyone through television, rather than gathering everyone together for a meeting.

"I see. That does make sense."

As expected of the student union president, Hiroshi Ichii naturally changed the subject after a couple of dry laughs and began to reminisce about his wonderful college life.

"I really want to take the postgraduate entrance examination so that I can stay in school."

"School life is really good. If I hadn't started a company, I might have gone to graduate school."

Waseda University is famous for its freedom, and students can enjoy a variety of life.

This is a paradise school against involution.

Unlike national schools such as the University of Tokyo, if you want to gain a foothold, you have to be extremely busy every day.

After talking nonsense about all sorts of things, Ichigo Hiroshi smiled and apologized.

He is the organizer of tonight's event and has a lot of things to do.

If Masato Takeshita wasn't special, he wouldn't have stayed so long.

Masato Takeshita's relationship with his classmates was average, and was basically limited to casual chatting. This was especially true tonight, as everyone was a little reserved when they met him.

The position of president of a large company is too stressful.

"Would you like some hangover soup?"

The party ended at about 11pm. When Masato Takeshita returned home, his girlfriend had already prepared everything.

"No, I didn't drink at all tonight."

"Would you like to eat something?"

"No need, I'm full."

Without so many friends to chat with, Takeshita Masato spent more time eating. And under his influence, many friends joined this activity.

Everything else is empty, only what you eat is real.

Seeing that his girlfriend really wanted to do something, Takeshita Masato simply suggested: "How about you sing a song for me?"

"Okay, then how about I sing Ms. Nakamori's "DESIRE-情熱-"? "

"absolutely okay."

Masato Takeshita sat lazily on the sofa and made an OK gesture.

Akina Nakamori's love history is very tragic, and she is a complete bootlicker.

If they give her a little sweetness, she will give up everything.

But her songs are still very good, and her voice is mature and seductive.

Izumi Sakai can't sing with that kind of maturity, but her voice is purer and clearer, and she can be said to have interpreted the song in her own style.

“It sounds great, it’s great.”

After the song was finished, Masato Takeshita applauded and praised sincerely.

"Thank you, do you want to sing?"

"No, I'm just a spectator today."

Masato Takeshita is more accustomed to being behind the scenes and doesn't like to be in front of the stage, and the same goes for singing.
