Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Kitahara Makoto frowned, looking at the unexpected girl with a puzzled expression.

Just as Kitahara was wondering what was going on, the girl suddenly ran over and hid under the table where he was eating, hugging her knees tightly and trembling uncontrollably.

Kitahara Makoto was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to deal with this sudden situation.

He looked around and noticed that everyone else in the restaurant was also casting curious glances his way.

He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, then bent down and softly asked the girl:

"Little girl, what's wrong? Why are you hiding here?"

The girl raised her head and answered in a trembling voice:

"I...I'm lost, and someone is chasing me..." Her voice was trembling with tears, clearly terrified.

Kitahara Makoto frowned, thinking to herself that with so many people coming and going in this place, how could anyone possibly be chasing after her?

·····Requesting flowers··········

But he still chose to believe her, after all, a young girl in this situation could very well be going through something terrible.

He stood up, looked around, and then said to the girl:

"Don't be afraid, hide here for a while, I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, he picked up his coat and walked out of the restaurant.

Outside, he carefully observed his surroundings but found nothing unusual.

.............

He returned to the restaurant, told the girl there was no danger outside, and then asked for her home address or contact information, intending to take her home.

However, the girl shook her head, saying she didn't remember her home address and didn't have her phone with her.

Kitahara Makoto felt a bit awkward, but he knew he couldn't just leave the little girl there unattended.

After thinking about it, he decided to take the girl back to the company first, and then try to contact her family.

He greeted the restaurant waiter and then left with the girl.

On the way back to the company, Kitahara Makoto tried to chat with the girl to help her relax.

He asked her for her name, age, school, and other information, trying to find some clues. The girl gradually overcame her fear and began to talk to Kitahara Makoto.

Chapter 120 Ordinary Yet Extraordinary

Kitahara Shin led the girl through the bustling streets back to his company.

He was filled with a sense of responsibility; he knew that the girl needed his help and care at that moment.

Stepping into the company, Kitahara Makoto immediately felt a familiar and welcoming atmosphere.

He nodded to his employees, then led the girl to his office.

He asked the girl to sit on the sofa and said gently:

“Little girl, ‘193,’ you can rest here for a while. I’ll make some arrangements, and then we’ll try to contact your family.”

The girl nodded, a hint of gratitude and trust in her eyes.

As she watched Kitahara Makoto's busy figure, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Kitahara Makoto quickly arranged for a female employee to take care of the girl.

He knew that what a lost girl needed most at that moment was warmth and care.

He explained the situation to the female employee in detail and asked her to help contact the girl's family.

The female employee was a kind-hearted girl. She immediately put down her work and began to take good care of the girl.

She poured the girl a cup of hot water and brought her some snacks so she could have something to eat first.

The young woman watched the female employee busily working, her heart filled with gratitude. She took a bite of her pastry, tears welling in her eyes, as if moved by her own good fortune.

Kitahara Makoto felt a sense of comfort as he watched all this unfold.

He knew he had made the right decision. He hadn't chosen to ignore the girl's plight; instead, he had chosen to lend a helping hand.

He returned to his desk and continued working.

But his mind was constantly on the girl's condition. He would occasionally look up at the small figure on the sofa, a strange emotion welling up inside him.

Time passed slowly, and the female employee finally managed to contact the girl's family.

Her parents were so excited after receiving the call that they could barely speak. They thanked her repeatedly and said they would come to the company to pick up their daughter immediately.

Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. He knew that the girl was finally going to return to her family's embrace.

Shortly afterward, the girl's parents arrived at the company.

Seeing their daughter safe and sound, they were overjoyed and tears welled up in their eyes. They hugged her tightly, thanking her repeatedly.

Kitahara Makoto felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he watched their reunion...

He knew that his good deed not only helped the girl, but also made her family feel the warmth and love of humanity.

He stepped forward and offered his blessings and comfort to the girl's parents.

He told them that they must pay more attention to their children's safety in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The girl's parents nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would keep Kitahara Makoto's instructions in mind.

They thanked Kitahara Makoto again, then left the company with their daughter.

Kitahara Makoto watched their departing figures, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction and joy.

He knew that although this small act of kindness was insignificant, it made him feel the beauty and warmth of humanity.

He returned to his office and resumed his work. But the scene he had just witnessed kept replaying in his mind.

He remembered the girl's eyes, her parents' tears of emotion, and the moment he extended a helping hand.

He knew that this experience would remain in his memory forever, becoming a beautiful memory in his life.

He also hopes that in the future, he can continue to maintain this kindness and care, bringing warmth and help to more people.

Chapter 121 A Rare Reunion of Old Friends

After that little incident that afternoon, Kitahara Makoto seemed to feel even more cheerful and fulfilled.

He glanced at the wall clock and realized it was already past 5 p.m. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto his desk, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

He stood up, stretched, and felt a little tired, but his heart was filled with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

He recalled the lost girl, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He knew that his good deed not only helped the girl and her family, but also allowed him to experience the joy of helping others.

He tidied his desk, organized the unfinished work, and prepared to end his day. 24

He turned off his computer, picked up his coat and briefcase, and left the office.

On his way out of the company, he ran into several colleagues. They greeted each other warmly and talked about their day's work and life.

Kitahara Shinya actively participated in the discussion, sharing his experiences and feelings.

As he stepped out of the company gate, he felt a cool evening breeze on his face.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was gradually setting, and a faint red hue was appearing on the horizon.

Kitahara Makoto finished his work but did not choose to go straight home.

Today, he has a special appointment—to meet with his two friends, Fu Deng and Jin Ye, in the old streets of the North District.

Kitahara Makoto stepped out of the company gate, took a deep breath of the fresh evening air, and felt a sense of comfort and anticipation.

Then he walked towards the parking lot. Kitahara Makoto opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and slowly drove out of the company parking lot.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the car windows, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere inside the vehicle.

Kitahara Makoto drove along the familiar road. He was in a relaxed and cheerful mood, looking forward to meeting his friends.

As the car weaved through the busy streets, Kitahara Makoto could occasionally catch glimpses of pedestrians hurrying by or the warm yellow light emanating from shops.

These ordinary and familiar scenes gave him a sense of inexplicable warmth and peace.

Shortly after, Kitahara Makoto arrived at the old street in the northern part of the city. He parked his car in a suitable spot, got out, locked the doors, and walked towards the agreed-upon restaurant.

The restaurant was already packed with customers, bustling with noise and excitement. Kitahara Makoto spotted Futo and Jinye at a glance.

They were sitting by the window, enjoying their food and chatting happily.

"You're here really early!" Kitahara Makoto greeted them with a smile as he walked over.

Fuden and Jinye smiled with delight when they saw Kitahara Makoto. They stood up, hugged him, and then pulled him down to sit.

The three of them sat down together and started ordering food. As they chose their favorite dishes, they chatted about their recent lives and interesting stories.

The noise in the restaurant gradually faded away, leaving only the laughter of the three of them.

Kitahara Makoto waved his hand and laughed, "Don't say that. Time spent together as friends is precious. Besides, I have some good news to share today."

Kitahara Shin cleared his throat and said mysteriously, "I plan to acquire Alibaba Group."

Upon hearing this, Fuden and Jinye were both taken aback, their eyes widening almost simultaneously.

Fullerton asked in a stammering voice:

"You...you're serious? Alibaba Group? That's a behemoth!"

Jin Ye couldn't help but interject:

"Beiyuan, this is no joke. Alibaba Group has such a high market value, how... how could you have such an idea?"

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly as he looked at their surprised expressions:

"I know it sounds crazy, but I've done my research and preparation. And I feel this is a rare opportunity."

Chapter 122 The Mysterious Woman

Fuden and Jinye exchanged a glance, both seeing worry in each other's eyes. Fuden tentatively asked:

"Then...do you have enough funds? This is no small amount."

Kitahara nodded:

"I've already made arrangements regarding funding. And I believe this decision will bring long-term returns."

Jin Ye was silent for a moment, then said seriously:

"Kitahara, of course we support you. But you should think carefully before you act on something this big. After all, this is no joke."

Kitahara looked at them gratefully:

"I know, I'll be careful. But sometimes, we need a little bit of adventure, don't we?"

The three were chatting happily, their laughter and conversation blending together to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Suddenly, a young woman who looked to be about 21 years old walked over. She was wearing a stylish dress and had a disdainful smile on her face.

She stood beside the three of them and asked in a tone that suggested they were idiots:

"Hey, what were you guys talking about just now? Acquiring Alibaba Group? Really? You're not kidding, are you?"

Kitahara Makoto, Futo, and Shin'ya were interrupted by the sudden voice and all turned to look at the young woman.

Kitahara Makoto frowned slightly, but still answered politely, "Yes, we were indeed discussing this topic just now."

The young woman seemed unconvinced; she curled her lip and said in a mocking tone:

"Acquire Alibaba Group? Do you know how much money that would require? Do you know Alibaba Group's market position? Are you dreaming?"

Both Fullerton and Jinye were displeased upon hearing this. Fullerton couldn't help but retort:

"Little girl, we're not kidding. Although we know it's difficult, we're already working on it."

Jin Ye added, "Moreover, we weren't unprepared. We conducted in-depth research and analysis of Alibaba Group and believed it was an opportunity worth trying."

The young woman seemed dissatisfied with their answer; she snorted and said:

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. You people always like to daydream."

Acquiring Alibaba Group? That's not something just anyone can do.

Kitahara looked at her, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew that some people always held a skeptical and mocking attitude towards the unknown.

But he also understands that his decision does not need to be understood or approved by everyone.
