Haruko nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, I also hope to hear your singing again. If there's a chance, we can go singing together."

Kitahara Makoto readily agreed, and the two said their goodbyes. Kitahara Makoto headed towards the parking lot, while Haruko turned and went back into the private room.

Kitahara Maho walked towards the hotel parking lot.

He walked through the elegantly decorated lobby, past the lounge area adorned with various flowers, and felt the hotel's unique tranquility and comfort.

As he approached the parking lot entrance, he saw his car parked in the designated spot, the sunlight slanting across the vehicle, making it gleam with a metallic sheen.

The parking attendant was already waiting on the side, and when he saw Kitahara Makoto approach, he respectfully opened the car door for him.

He immediately stepped forward, respectfully handed the car keys back to him, and said:

“Mr. Kitahara, your car is ready and you can leave at any time.”

Kitahara Makoto took the keys, nodded to the parking attendant, and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The parking attendant responded with a smile:

"You're welcome, Mr. Kitahara. Have a safe journey."

Kitahara Makoto turned and walked towards his car, feeling satisfied with the parking attendant's attentive service.

Kitahara Makoto got into the driver's seat, adjusted the seat and steering wheel angles, and then started the vehicle.

With the roar of the engine, the car slowly drove out of the parking space and headed towards the parking lot exit.

After leaving the hotel, Kitahara Makoto drove the car onto the street.

The streets are lined with lush trees and well-arranged buildings, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the road.

Kitahara Makoto opened the car window, and a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness and the fragrance of distant flowers and grass.

Kitahara Makoto drove his car through the city streets.

He was in an exceptionally good mood, as if his chance encounter and pleasant conversation with Haruko were still fresh in his mind.

He recalled Haruko's warm smile and beautiful singing voice, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

As the car drove along the busy road, Kitahara Makoto felt unusually calm and relaxed.

Enjoy the pleasure of driving and experience the hustle and bustle of the city.

Kitahara Makoto was driving back to nn company.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, warm and bright on his face. He was in exceptionally good spirits; his chance encounter and conversation with Haruko had made him feel relaxed and happy.

Suddenly, the car phone rang, breaking the tranquility of Zhao's life.

Kitahara glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from Fan Daqin, the chairman of Alibaba Group. He was somewhat surprised, but quickly composed himself and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Chairman Fan," Kitahara Makoto greeted politely.

"Hello, Mr. Kitahara." Fan Daqin's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding very steady and powerful.

"Excuse me, I'd like to discuss some things regarding our collaboration."

Chapter 138 Tianfeng Tower Banquet

Fan Daqin's warm and sincere voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Hello, Mr. Kitahara Makoto! I am Fan Daqin. I hope I have not disturbed your lunch break."

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:

"Hello Chairman Fan, I hope I am not disturbing you. I just finished lunch and am about to go back to the company."

Fan Daqin's tone revealed a hint of anticipation:

"That's good. I called to invite you to a banquet at Tianfeng Tower tonight. We have some business matters we'd like to discuss with you. Do you have time?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's heart stirred. He knew that Tianfenglou was a well-known high-end restaurant in the city, and Fan Daqin's choice to host the banquet there clearly showed that he attached great importance to this cooperation.

He thought for a moment and then agreed:

223 "Chairman Fan, thank you very much for your invitation. I am honored to have dinner with you at Tianfenglou and discuss cooperation matters."

Fan Daqin was very pleased to hear this.

“Great, it’s settled then. I’ll be waiting for you at Tianfeng Tower tonight.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Kitahara Shin put his phone back in his pocket, his heart filled with anticipation for tonight's banquet.

This collaboration with Alibaba Group is of great significance to nn Company, and it must make the most of this opportunity.

So he sped up and drove toward nn company.

He knew that he needed to make thorough preparations for tonight's banquet in order to ensure a good outcome in the negotiations.

........

Soon, the car stopped in front of the nn company building.

Kitahara Shin got out of the car and looked up at the familiar and solemn building, feeling a strange sense of warmth welling up in his heart.

Kitahara Shin returned to nn Corporation. As the company's chairman, he naturally exuded an air of authority and confidence unlike that of ordinary people.

As he walked into the company building, the employees looked at him with respect, and some even came up to greet him. He smiled and nodded in response, his steps steady and powerful.

Stepping into the spacious and bright office, Kitahara Makoto sat in the executive chair that symbolized power and responsibility, looked around, and felt a surge of pride.

This is the business empire he built from scratch; every inch of this land embodies his sweat and wisdom.

He knew that as the helmsman of the company, he bore the heavy responsibility of leading the company forward.

Every decision and every collaboration is related to the company's future and the well-being of its employees.

Therefore, Kitahara Makoto attaches great importance to tonight's banquet with Alibaba Group.

Kitahara Makoto turned on his computer and began to look up the latest information about Alibaba Group to understand their business scope and development trends.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to showcase nn's unique advantages in the negotiations and how to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with Alibaba Group.

Just then, assistant Li Hua gently knocked on the office door and walked in.

Li Hua is one of Kitahara Makoto's most capable assistants, responsible for handling the company's daily affairs and coordinating the work of various departments. She carried a document, her face bearing a serious expression.

"Chairman, I have compiled the details regarding the internal employee liquidation."

Li Hua handed the document to Kitahara Makoto.

Kitahara Makoto put down his work, took the document, and began to carefully read through it.

What were the results of this major purge?

Kitahara Masami looked up and asked.

Li Hua gave a detailed report on the process and results of the liquidation, including which employees needed to be reassigned and which departments needed to optimize their staffing.

Kitahara listened attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement.

"Very good, this major cleanup has been done very well."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in satisfaction.

"In this way, we can better adjust the company's personnel structure and improve overall work efficiency."

"Yes, Chairman."

Li Hua replied.

"I will continue to follow up on this work to ensure everything proceeds smoothly."

Chapter 139 Attending the Banquet - Fan Daqin

Kitahara Shin nodded and placed the documents back on the table. He knew that with the results of this major purge, he could face tonight's banquet with greater peace of mind.

Kitahara Makoto believes that as long as all internal operations are carried out in an orderly manner, he has enough confidence and strength to engage in in-depth cooperation with Alibaba Group.

Kitahara Makoto then turned his attention back to the computer screen and continued to research information about Alibaba Group, making thorough preparations for tonight's banquet.

Before he knew it, it was already evening, and Kitahara Makoto finally finished organizing all the materials related to the cooperation with Alibaba Group.

Satisfied, I put down the documents in my hand, gently rubbed my eyes, and relieved the fatigue from working for a long time.

The sky outside the window was gradually darkening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the desk, appearing exceptionally soft.

Kitahara Shin glanced at his watch and realized it was almost time.

He stood up, stretched, and prepared to head to the banquet at Tianfeng Tower. He knew that tonight's banquet was crucial for the company, and he had to be in top form to face it.

He walked out of the office, through the company corridor, and into the parking lot.

His car was parked there quietly, waiting for his arrival.

He opened the car door, got in, and started the car.

Throughout the journey, Kitahara Makoto recalled the details of his cooperation with Alibaba Group, his heart filled with anticipation and confidence.

He knew that this collaboration was a rare opportunity for nn Company, and he had to do everything he could to secure it.

The car quickly arrived at the front door, and Kitahara Makoto stopped the car and went inside.

He changed into clean clothes, went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wash over his tired body.

The water flowed down his cheeks, washing away his fatigue and tension from the day.

After taking a shower, Kitahara Makoto felt much refreshed. He changed into a sharp suit, tidied his hair, and nodded in satisfaction at himself in the mirror.

Tonight's banquet is an important occasion for him to demonstrate nn Company's strength and sincerity, and he must appear in the best possible light.

Kitahara Makoto stepped out of his house, his steps firm and powerful.

He walked to the car, gently opened the door, and got into the driver's seat.

With the roar of the engine, the car slowly drove out of the house and disappeared into the night.

·····Requesting flowers··········

He turned on the car's navigation system and entered the address of Tianfenglou.

The navigation system immediately planned the best route for him. He gently pressed the accelerator, and the car steadily drove onto the road.

The city at night is ablaze with neon lights and bustling with traffic.

.......

Kitahara Shin wandered through the bustling streets and alleys, his gaze focused and unwavering, always fixed on the road ahead.

He skillfully maneuvered the steering wheel, handling each turn and acceleration with ease.

The car window was half open, and a gentle breeze brushed against his cheek, bringing a touch of coolness.

Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath of the night air and felt exceptionally refreshed.

He knew he was heading to an important business event, but he didn't feel nervous or anxious; instead, he was filled with anticipation and confidence.

The car sped through the night and soon arrived at the neighborhood where Tianfeng Tower was located.

Kitahara slowed down and drove into the parking lot. He parked the car, got out, and looked up at the brightly lit building.

Chapter 140 The Young and Promising Kitahara Makoto

A refreshing night breeze caressed my face.

Kitahara Makoto stood beside the car, looking up at the hotel. Each of its windows shone with warm light, like a small world full of unknowns and possibilities.

Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked towards the hotel entrance.

His leather shoes tapped lightly on the ground, making a rhythmic sound, as if his confident strides were drumming for him.

Kitahara Shin walked steadily toward the entrance of Tenpōrou with each step a firm and powerful gait.

He was dressed in a sharp suit, his tie perfectly tied, and he exuded an air of composure and confidence.

Upon reaching the entrance, he nodded slightly and gave his name to the receptionist.

"Hello, I am Kitahara Makoto from nn Company. I have been invited to attend tonight's banquet."

The hostess immediately smiled sweetly, bowed slightly, and responded respectfully:

"Mr. Kitahara, hello. Please follow me. Your private room has been prepared for you."
