She nodded gently and said softly:

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll wait for you."

Kitahara gave a few more instructions, then picked up his coat and briefcase, turned around and left the house.

He knew that as the company's president, he had a great responsibility and could not let personal matters interfere with his work.

But he also understands that Mai Sakurajima is one of the most important people in his life, and he will try his best to balance work and family, giving her more companionship and care.

He gently opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, adjusted the seat, and then started the engine.

With a deep and powerful roar, the Maserati slowly drove out of the house.

Kitahara Makoto drove it through the busy streets, yet his heart remained unusually calm.

He knew he would face a series of work challenges ahead, but he was confident he could handle them.

As the car sped along the road, Kitahara Makoto turned on the car stereo, and the melodious music dispelled a trace of fatigue in his heart.

He was focused on driving, but his thoughts drifted involuntarily to Mai Sakurajima.

He imagined her waking up and waiting for him at home, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Soon, the Maserati came to a smooth stop in front of the nn company building.

Kitahara Makoto drove his Maserati steadily to a designated parking space in the nn company building and gently turned off the engine.

I took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and felt the pulse of the city.

He then got out of the car, straightened his suit jacket, and made sure his appearance was professional and neat.

He strode steadily through the bustling flow of office workers toward the entrance of the company building.

Sunlight shone on his sharp suit, highlighting his resolute "317" face and confident demeanor.

Upon entering the company lobby, Kitahara Makoto immediately sensed a tense yet orderly working atmosphere.

He smiled and nodded to the employees walking towards him, and their faces showed respect and admiration.

As the president of nn company, his leadership skills and personal charisma have long been deeply appreciated within the company.

Kitahara Makoto walked through the hall to his private office.

He pushed open the door and walked into the spacious and bright room. His eyes swept over the neat and orderly desk and bookshelves, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

This is where he fought hard and where he realized his dreams.

He sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and began his day's work.

His gaze was focused and determined, and his pen flew across the paper, jotting down key points.

He knew that as the company's leader, he needed to maintain a clear mind and sharp judgment at all times to deal with various challenges and opportunities.

As his work progressed, Kitahara Makoto's thoughts gradually became immersed in the company's various affairs.

As Kitahara Makoto was engrossed in his work, there was a gentle knock on his office door.

He raised his head, a focused and sharp glint in his eyes, and then responded in a steady voice:

"Please come in."

The door slowly opened, and assistant Li Hua walked in.

She was dressed in a business suit, looking capable and efficient, with a slight smile on her face, but her eyes revealed her seriousness and focus on her work.

"Mr. Bei, I have some new developments to report to you regarding the acquisition of Alibaba Group."

Li Hua's voice was clear and strong, revealing her enthusiasm and sense of responsibility towards her work...

Kitahara Makoto put down the documents in his hand, gestured for Li Hua to sit down, and then listened attentively to her report.

"Currently, the acquisition is more than 40% complete."

"This is a very positive development, and our team's efforts have been indispensable."

Li Hua continued.

"But more importantly, we received support and assistance from Mr. Fan of Alibaba Group."

"His involvement made the entire acquisition process smoother and more efficient."

Kitahara Shin nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

He was well aware of Fan Gongzi's influence within Alibaba Group, and having his support undoubtedly added significant weight to the success of the acquisition.

Li Hua explained in detail the key role of Master Fan in the 2.9 judgment and how he used his influence and power.

She helped Kitahara Makoto and nn Company overcome some potential obstacles and barriers. Her words were filled with gratitude and admiration for Mr. Fan.

"It seems I'll have to thank Young Master Fan properly when I get the chance."

Kitahara Makoto remarked with emotion,

"His involvement not only accelerated the acquisition process but also laid a solid foundation for our future cooperation."

Chapter 170 Haruko's New Dish

Li Hua nodded in agreement, knowing full well the importance of this acquisition to nn Company and understanding the crucial role Mr. Fan played in it.

After Kitahara Makoto and Li Hua finished their discussion, a brief silence returned to the office.

Li Hua tidied up the documents in his hand, then quietly withdrew, leaving Kitahara Makoto alone in deep thought.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Kitahara Makoto felt satisfied with the progress of the acquisition of Alibaba Group, and at the same time grateful for Fan Gongzi's help.

He picked up his phone, found Fan Dingzhen's contact information, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to express his gratitude to him in person.

The call was quickly connected, and Mr. Fan's voice came through the receiver, as steady and powerful as ever.

Kitahara first greeted Young Master Fan, and then sincerely expressed his gratitude for the help he had given during the acquisition process.

"Mr. Fan, thank you very much for your support and assistance during the acquisition of Alibaba Group."

"Without your help, we could not have made such rapid progress."

Kitahara Makoto said.

Young Master Fan chuckled on the other end of the phone, his voice revealing humility and composure:

"Mr. Bei, you're too kind. Our cooperation is a win-win situation, and I'm happy to be able to help you."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, during which Kitahara Makoto once again expressed his gratitude to Young Master Fan and promised to continue their close cooperation in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto felt exceptionally relieved, as if all the difficulties and challenges had been easily resolved with Fan Gongzi's help.

Just then, the telephone on the table rang again.

Kitahara Shin picked up the receiver and heard Haruko's familiar and sweet voice:

"Yuanzhen, the survey of the nearby taverns is complete. I've compiled a detailed report. Would you like to come over?"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and replied, "Haruko, thank you for your hard work. You're always so efficient."

Haruko's voice was filled with excitement:

"It's not hard work at all, it's genuine. And I have some good news to tell you!"

"I recently developed a new dish that tastes really good. I'd like to invite you over to try it and discuss the results of our research."

Kitahara Makoto was surprised to hear this, but then felt a great warmth in his heart.

He knew that Haruko was not only conscientious and responsible at work, but also often showed her thoughtfulness and enthusiasm in life.

"Oh? A new dish? I'll have to give it a try."

Kitahara Makoto answered with a smile.

"You can set a time; I'm free anytime."

Haruko answered happily:

"Great, let's have lunch at noon."

“No problem, I’ll wait for you,” Kitahara Makoto said.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto continued working on the tasks he hadn't finished that day.

In the morning, Kitahara Makoto sat in his spacious office 317. Sunlight streamed through the semi-transparent curtains, casting a golden sheen on his desk.

He frowned slightly, intently reviewing the documents in his hands, occasionally making marks on them with his pen.

These documents concern the company's upcoming new projects, and he needs to carefully review every detail.

After approving an important contract, Kitahara Makoto rubbed his slightly sore eyes and looked up out the window.

He took a deep breath, feeling a breath of fresh air and the warmth of the sunshine.

At that moment, he thought of the Starry Night Tavern that he and Haruko were preparing to open, and a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

He stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and prepared to head to the Starlight Tavern.

Chapter 171 Mai Sakurajima's Lunch

He knew Haruko was busy there, and he wanted to go and see how the bar was preparing and discuss the upcoming opening with Haruko.

Stepping out of his office, Kitahara Makoto walked through the busy corridor and arrived at the company building.

Kitahara Makoto walked into the parking lot, found his Maserati, opened the door, and got in. With the roar of the engine, he drove out of the company building.

Sunlight streamed through the car window and fell on Kitahara Makoto's face, giving him a sense of warmth.

As he drove to the Starry Night Tavern, he pondered the tavern's future development.

Kitahara Makoto knew that his collaboration with Haruko would be a journey full of challenges and opportunities.

Shinya Kitahara believes that he and Haruko have the ability to work together to turn Starry Night Tavern into a popular restaurant.

Soon after, Kitahara Shin arrived at the Starlight Tavern.

He entered the bar and saw Haruko busily setting up the tables and bar.

When she saw Kitahara Makoto arrive, she immediately went to greet him with a warm smile.

"Yuanzhen, you're here!"

Haruko greeted them warmly.

"Come and see our tavern, isn't it pretty good?"

Kitahara Makoto looked around and saw that the tavern was decorated simply yet exquisitely. Sunlight streamed through the windows and onto the floor, adding warmth and brightness to the entire space.

He smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation for Haruko's work.

"It's really good, Haruko."

Haruko smiled contentedly after hearing this, and pointed to a table next to the bar, saying:

"Mr. Bei, I have prepared a lunch especially for you. Please have a taste."

Kitahara Makoto walked over and sat down, where he saw a plate of delicious-looking dishes on the table.

He picked up a piece to taste, and found it to be delicious and flavorful, so he nodded in praise repeatedly.

"Haruko, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Kitahara Shin exclaimed in genuine admiration,
