Then, he sat back down at his desk and began organizing the meeting minutes and subsequent work plans.

·····Requesting flowers··········

Time slipped by unnoticed, and it was already noon. Kitahara Makoto remained engrossed in his work, oblivious to the passage of time.

Just then, a gentle knock on the office door interrupted his thoughts.

Kitahara Shin looked up at the doorway and saw his girlfriend, Sakurajima Mai, standing there with a smile, holding a delicate bento box in her hand.

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

Her eyes were gentle and full of concern, as if they could soothe his weariness and anxiety.

"Honey, you've been busy all morning, it's time to take a break."

Mai Sakurajima's voice was soft and pleasant, like a spring breeze.

Kitahara Makoto put down his work, stood up, and went to the door.

He took the bento box from Mai Sakurajima, a warm feeling welling up inside him.

He knew that no matter how busy and tired he was, there was always someone silently supporting him and caring about him.

"Thank you, Mai."

Kitahara Makoto said with a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude and happiness.

Mai Sakurajima walked into the office, placed the bento box on the table, and then gently patted Makoto Kitahara on the shoulder: "Ugh."

"Don't overwork yourself. Have a good rest after lunch. There are still many things waiting for you to handle this afternoon."

Kitahara Makoto nodded, opened the bento box, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Looking at the delicious-looking lunch in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth and happiness.

The afternoon sun streamed through the windows onto the office floor, creating dappled light and shadow that complemented the quiet atmosphere.

Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai finished their short lunch with a "363" routine, sitting face to face and enjoying the rare tranquility.

Mai Sakurajima stood up and began tidying up the bento boxes and other miscellaneous items on the table.

Her movements were light and skillful, and every detail revealed her care and consideration for Kitahara Makoto.

After finishing tidying up, she turned around, smiled, and said to Kitahara Makoto:

"Honey, I'm going to Taigu with my girlfriends this afternoon to relax for a few days."

Kitahara Makoto paused for a moment, then smiled with understanding and support:

"Oh, Taigu, that's a beautiful place, perfect for relaxing. You all have fun, don't worry about me."

Mai Sakurajima nodded, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a resolute light:

"Yes, I will. But remember to take good care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. I'll bring you back some local specialties from Taigu."

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. Make sure to bring back lots of local specialties from Taigu, I'm really looking forward to it."

Mai Sakurajima packed her things and prepared to leave. As she reached the door, she turned back to look at Makoto Kitahara one last time, her eyes filled with reluctance and longing.

Kitahara Makoto stood up, walked to her side, and gently hugged her: "Be careful on the road, have fun."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded, then turned and left the office. Makoto Kitahara watched her figure disappear through the door.

After Mai Sakurajima left, Makoto Kitahara sat back down at his desk, a sense of responsibility welling up inside him.

He knew that in addition to facing the company's difficulties, he also needed to care about the employees who were hurt by the company's problems.

He picked up the phone and dialed his assistant Li Hua's number. "Li Hua, come in for a moment," Kitahara Makoto's voice was steady and powerful.

A moment later, Li Hua hurried into the office, her face displaying her usual professionalism and dedication. "President Bei, what can I do for you?" she asked.

“I need the list of people involved in the accident…” Kitahara Makoto looked directly at Li Hua, his tone firm.

Li Hua immediately pulled the list out of the folder and handed it to Kitahara Makoto.

Kitahara Makoto took the list and carefully looked through the name of each employee, feeling a pang of guilt and self-reproach.

"I'm going to visit these employees."

Kitahara Shin raised his head and said to Li Hua,

"Go and arrange the vehicles and itinerary. We'll set off this afternoon."

Li Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.

She quickly turned and left the office to prepare for the relevant matters.

Kitahara Shin picked up the list again, silently praying for each employee.

He knew that these employees were not only a valuable asset to the company, but also his responsibility as a leader.

He hoped that this visit would offer them some comfort and support, and also allow them to feel the company's care and warmth.

Before setting off, Kitahara Makoto checked the itinerary and necessary items one last time to make sure everything was ready.

He knew that this visit was not just a simple trip, but a matter of public opinion.

Chapter 216 Original Truth, Paparazzi Everywhere Outside

"Thank you for your attention and criticism. I am well aware of the great responsibility. I will do my best to solve the problem, and I hope you can give me some understanding and support."

After replying to this comment.

Kitahara Makoto sat at his desk, his brow furrowed, focused intently on the various messages and comments on his computer screen.

At this moment, assistant Li Hua knocked on the door and entered, her face showing a hint of competence and efficiency.

"General Manager Bei, the itinerary has been arranged, and we can go to visit the accident victims immediately."

Li Hua's voice was clear and powerful, exuding a professional aura.

Kitahara Shin raised his head, a hint of gratitude and relief flashing in his eyes. He stood up, walked to Li Hua, and patted her on the shoulder:

"Thank you for your hard work, Li Hua. Your efficiency at this time is truly admirable."

Li Hua smiled slightly and shook his head.

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do. I've already arranged a vehicle and confirmed the exact location and condition of the people involved in the accident. We can set off now."

Kitahara Shin nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. He knew this visit was more than just a simple trip.

It was also a sign of his care and responsibility as the company's head towards his employees. He turned and picked up his briefcase from the table, saying to Li Hua:

"Okay, let's go now."

The two walked out of the office together and headed to the parking lot.

Downstairs at the company, the once quiet street has become bustling with activity.

A large group of paparazzi, armed with cameras and microphones, swarmed in like a tide, trying to capture Kitahara Makoto's every move.

Their flashlights flashed incessantly, filling the entire street with blinding light.

Kitahara Makoto walked out of the company building under the close protection of bodyguards.

He was wearing a dark suit and had a resolute expression on his face. Despite being surrounded by paparazzi, his steps remained steady and powerful.

The bodyguards quickly formed a human wall, separating Kitahara Makoto from the paparazzi.

They skillfully used body language and simple commands to maintain order at the scene. Kitahara nodded slightly to the paparazzi, then walked towards the vehicle that had been prepared.

Escorted by bodyguards, Kitahara Makoto smoothly got into the car. After the vehicle started, the bodyguards quickly dispersed around it, forming a solid protective circle.

Although the paparazzi reluctantly followed the vehicle, they were unable to get any closer due to the tight security provided by the bodyguards.

Inside the car, Kitahara Makoto leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

He knew that this trip would be full of challenges and difficulties, but he was prepared.
