Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Kitahara Makoto turned back to his desk, quickly tidied the documents on it, took a deep breath, and walked out of the office.

Kitahara Makoto strode confidently through the corridor toward the reception room.

Filled with determination and confidence, he would face whatever Fan Dingzhen's purpose might be with the utmost sincerity and resolve.

Kitahara Makoto walked through the quiet corridor of nn Company, each step steady and powerful.

The offices on both sides of the corridor were brightly lit, with the occasional sound of keyboards being typed and hushed conversations, but this did not disturb his inner peace.

He knew that what lay ahead was an important meeting concerning the company's future.

The door to the reception room slowly opened, and Kitahara Makoto walked in. The room was dimly lit, and a rectangular conference table was placed in the center, with Fan Dingzhen already seated opposite him.

He was wearing a dark suit with a tie tied meticulously, making him appear both dignified and refined.

He looked up at Kitahara Makoto, a slight smile on his face, as if the two were old friends reunited.

Kitahara Shin walked to the conference table, sat down, and stared intently at Fan Dingzhen.

His expression was serious and earnest; without much small talk, he went straight to the point.

"Mr. Fan, thank you for visiting nn Company."

Kitahara Shin spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

Fan Dingzhen smiled slightly and nodded.

"Mr. Kitahara, I have long admired your name. I have always appreciated your achievements and those of nn Corporation."

"you flatter me."

Kitahara Shin waved his hand and continued,

"I wonder what brings you here today, Mr. Fan?"

As Kitahara Shin spoke, he invited Fan Dingzhen to sit down with him.

After the two sat down, Fan Dingzhen got straight to the point, saying solemnly:

“Mr. Kitahara, my father has always held nn Corporation in high regard.”

"He was well aware that the cooperation between Alibaba Group and nn Company would generate huge synergistic effects,"

"Therefore, he specifically instructed me to come and assist nn Company in completing the acquisition of Alibaba Group."

Kitahara Makoto was deeply moved upon hearing this.

He was well aware of Fan Daqin's influence in the industry, and with his support, the success rate of the acquisition would be greatly increased.

He said quickly:

"Mr. Fan, your support and that of Mr. Fan Daqin are of great significance to us."

"Our company has always regarded Alibaba Group as an important partner, and we have devoted all our efforts to this acquisition."

Fan Dingzhen nodded in agreement.

He continued:

“Mr. Kitahara, I have faith in your and nn's capabilities. I will fully cooperate with you and provide the necessary assistance and support during the upcoming acquisition process.”

Kitahara Makoto was filled with gratitude upon hearing this.

He knew that with Fan Dingzhen's assistance, the acquisition process would be much smoother.

He solemnly stated:

“Mr. Fan, your assistance is of vital importance to us. On behalf of nn Company, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.”

The two then went into more depth, discussing the specific details of the acquisition, the potential challenges, and strategies for dealing with them.

With his extensive experience and professional knowledge, Fan Dingzhen provided Kitahara Makoto with many valuable suggestions.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and by the time the two finished their conversation, it was already late at night.

Kitahara Shin stood up, shook hands with Fan Dingzhen again to say goodbye,

"Mr. Fan, thank you for coming today. I am confident that with your assistance, we will be able to successfully complete this acquisition."

Fan Dingzhen also stood up and said with a smile:

"Mr. Kitahara, I share that belief. I wish us a successful collaboration and a bright future together." (Tu)

Chapter 164 Li Hao, former salesman

After seeing Fan Dingzhen off, Kitahara Shin returned to his office.

Kitahara Makoto picked up the phone and dialed a number. It was the number of the department manager in charge of the acquisition project.

"Hello, is this Manager Wang? This is Kitahara Makoto."

Kitahara Makoto's voice was firm and powerful.

"Oh, Mr. Kitahara, good evening! May I ask what instructions you may give me?"

Manager Wang's respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I just reviewed the acquisition report for '317,' and the overall progress is very good."

"But there are a few details that I think still need to be discussed and clarified."

Kitahara Makoto began to list several key points from the report.

They discussed some specific details of the acquisition process, potential risks, and coping strategies.

With his extensive experience and keen business acumen, Kitahara Makoto offered many valuable suggestions and guidance.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto felt a sense of relief.

Suddenly I felt a little hungry.

He then walked out of the company building, crossed the parking lot, and started his car.

The city at night appears both tranquil and bustling, with streetlights flashing and neon lights dazzling.

The car drove into the snack street in the west of the city, which was bustling with activity and full of people.

Kitahara Makoto parked his car in an empty spot by the roadside, got out, and strolled along the street.

His eyes darted between the stalls, searching for the food he wanted to try.

Suddenly, he was drawn by the aroma of roasted meat.

He walked up to a barbecue stall and watched the vendor skillfully grill the meat skewers until they sizzled.

Kitahara Makoto couldn't resist ordering a skewer of grilled meat and sat down on a small stool to enjoy it.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out:

"Mr. Kitahara, are you still enjoying your meal so late?"

Kitahara Shin looked up and saw that it was his good friend Li Hao.

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly and replied:

"Yes, I was a little hungry, so I came to the food street to take a look."

"Haha, I just got off work and was passing by so I stopped by to say hello."

As Li Hao spoke, he sat down next to Kitahara Makoto.

It turns out that Li Hao was the sales consultant that Kitahara Makoto met a few months ago when he was buying a car.

That day, Kitahara Makoto walked into the car showroom, intending to choose a suitable car for himself.

As a sales consultant, Li Hao enthusiastically and professionally introduced him to various car models and configurations.

Li Hao is not only an expert in automobiles, but his personality is also a perfect match for Kitahara Makoto's...

Both of them enjoy discussing all sorts of topics, from car technology to everyday life, and they can always have a very interesting conversation.

During the car purchase process, Kitahara Makoto deeply admired Li Hao's professionalism and personal charm, and the two gradually became friends.

........

On the bustling food street, the barbecue stalls are shrouded in smoke and filled with delicious aromas.

Kitahara Makoto and Li Hao sat side by side on small stools in front of the stall, with a plate of freshly grilled meat skewers in front of them.

The vendor skillfully placed the grilled meat skewers on a plate, sprinkled them with special seasoning, and handed them to the two people. The meat on the skewers was tender and juicy, emitting an enticing aroma.

Kitahara Makoto eagerly picked up a skewer of meat and took a small bite.

The meat was tender and juicy, with an excellent texture. He nodded in satisfaction and recommended it to Li Hao:

"The grilled meat skewers here are really good, you should try them."

Li Hao also picked up a skewer of meat and savored it carefully.

He closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the delicious moment.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, smiled, and said to Kitahara Makoto:

"It's really delicious, and the seasoning is quite unique."

Chapter 165 An Invitation from the Barbecue Stand

The two enjoyed the delicious grilled meat while chatting casually.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Kitahara Makoto's mind. He looked at Li Hao and said seriously:

"Li Hao, I've always admired your sales skills. Recently, our Starry Night Tavern has been looking for an experienced salesperson, and I think you'd be a perfect fit."

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, then showed an expression of interest:

"Oh? Sales at the Starlight Tavern? That sounds interesting. Could you elaborate?"

Kitahara Makoto nodded and began to explain in detail:

"Starry Night Tavern is our new project, a tavern that sells itself on its unique atmosphere and high-quality service."

"We need a salesperson who excels at communication and can effectively convey our brand philosophy and unique features to customers."

"and,"

Kitahara Makoto continued,

“I think your sales experience and network are very valuable to us.”

"I believe that with your joining us, Starlight Tavern's business will definitely flourish even more."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Hao's eyes, and then he fell into deep thought.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"Starry Night Tavern...that sounds like a pretty unique project. But my current job is quite stable, so I need to think about it."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in understanding:

"Of course, I understand. After all, this is an important decision."

"But what I want to say is that Starlight Tavern has a very good future, and our team is very energetic."

"I believe that if you join us, we will definitely be able to create even more possibilities."

Li Hao was infected by Kitahara Makoto's enthusiasm; he looked up, his eyes sparkling.

“You’re right, I do need to think about it seriously. But I must admit, I’m very interested in this proposal.”

Kitahara Makoto smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"That's great! I believe you'll make a wise choice. Whatever your decision, we'll still be friends."

........

After finishing the last bite of grilled meat, Kitahara Makoto put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and gently wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

He nodded to the stall owner, indicating that he needed to pay. The stall owner smiled and handed him the bill, which Kitahara Makoto quickly took out his wallet and paid.

At this moment, Li Hao also finished his dinner. He stood up, clapped his hands, as if trying to dispel the satisfaction he had just felt from the meal.

He turned to Kitahara Makoto, a sincere smile on his face:

"Kitahara, dinner tonight was really great, thank you."

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:
