Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

The two found a table by the window and ordered several bowls of refreshing dessert soup.

Soon after, the shop assistant brought out two large bowls of colorful dessert soup.

The ice cubes in the bowl are crystal clear, and paired with various fresh fruits and sweet coconut juice, they look very appetizing.

"Wow, this refreshing dessert looks really good!"

Liu Xing sighed, picked up a spoon, and took a bite.

"Yes, the ingredients used in this Qingbuliang are fresh and the taste is refreshing, making it a great choice for cooling off in the summer."

Kitahara Shinya took a bite and nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter 242 The Depression Dissipates

After the two finished eating the dessert, Kitahara Makoto's mood became exceptionally cheerful.

He put down his spoon, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then stood up and looked at Liu Xing with a determined gaze.

"Liu Xing, this refreshing dessert is absolutely delicious! I feel so much more refreshed."

Kitahara Makoto said with a smile,

"I need to go back to the office and continue dealing with those matters; I can't stay this leisurely forever."

Liu Xing also stood up, patted Kitahara Makoto on the shoulder, and expressed his understanding:

“I understand, company matters are indeed important. You go ahead and get busy. I also plan to go back to my family home to check on things. If you need any help, just let me know.”

"Ok, no problem."

Kitahara Makoto nodded.

"Although we are all busy with our own things, let's not forget our friendship and cooperation. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we can support each other."

"Of course."

Liu Xing responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will handle the family affairs well, and at the same time I will keep an eye out for business opportunities to see if there are any projects we can cooperate on."

The two walked to the shop entrance and said goodbye to each other.

Kitahara Shin waved his hand, turned around and walked towards his car, preparing to return to the company.

Liu Xing, on the other hand, walked in another direction, intending to return to his family to check on the situation.

Kitahara Shin walked out of the herbal soup shop and briskly headed towards his car.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, casting its light on his resolute face and reflecting the determination and anticipation shining in his eyes.

He opened the car door, and a cool breeze from the air conditioner hit him, instantly dispelling the summer heat.

He got into the driver's seat and skillfully adjusted the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure he was in the best driving condition.

Then, he gently pressed the start button, and the car emitted a deep and powerful roar, as if announcing that it was about to embark on a new journey.

As the car slowly drove away, Kitahara Makoto's gaze also shifted to the outside of the car window.

The scenery outside the car unfolded slowly before his eyes like a flowing scroll painting.

The coconut trees lining both sides of the road swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if they were seeing him off.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground and creating a sense of tranquility and peace.

Kitahara Makoto's mood also brightened. He recalled his conversation with Liu Xing, and his heart was filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

He knew he would soon be back at the company, facing a mountain of tedious tasks, but he did not feel frustrated or tired.

On the contrary, he felt a strange excitement and motivation, as if a force was propelling him forward.

He gently turned the steering wheel, allowing the car to drive smoothly on the road.

His fingers danced across the steering wheel, as if playing a beautiful melody.

His eyes were firm and deep, revealing an indomitable spirit.

The air inside the car was filled with a fresh scent, thanks to the in-car air purifier.

Kitahara Shin took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air spread through his lungs, taking away all his fatigue and irritability.

He turned on the car's audio system, and soft music immediately filled the air, adding a touch of comfort and enjoyment to his driving journey.

Accompanied by music, Kitahara Makoto began to immerse himself in his own thoughts.

The car sped along the road, and the surrounding scenery kept changing.

Sometimes it's a verdant rice paddy, sometimes a golden beach, and sometimes a lush tropical rainforest.

Chapter 243 Continuing the Lawsuit and Seeking Compensation

As the car drew closer to the company, Kitahara Makoto's mood grew increasingly tense and excited.

He knew he was about to face a host of tedious tasks and challenges, but he was neither afraid nor backed down.

On the contrary, he felt a strange excitement and anticipation, as if a force was propelling him forward.

Finally, the car stopped in the company building's parking lot.

Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath and then got out of the car.

After parking his car, Kitahara Makoto walked out of the parking lot and steadily headed towards the company building.

His gaze lingered briefly on the company entrance bathed in sunlight, and the sight before him made him slightly taken aback.

The protesters who had gathered at the entrance had disappeared, leaving only an empty square and a few security guards patrolling.

He remembered that before he left, this place was bustling with noise.

The protesters held up banners and chanted slogans, accusing him of terminating cooperation with Ali and causing losses to their interests.

At that time, although he was determined, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in the face of such a scene.

But now, everything has returned to calm. Kitahara Shinshin couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, thinking:

"The efficiency of the Ministry of Justice is still reassuring."

He stepped into the company gate, walked through the spacious and bright corridor, and arrived at his office.

Along the way, he encountered several colleagues, who all cast concerned and inquiring glances at him.

Kitahara Makoto smiled and nodded, indicating that he would handle it.

After entering the office, he sat down at his large desk, turned on his computer, and began processing the mountain of documents and emails.

He knew that although the protests outside had subsided, there were still many problems within the company that he needed to solve and face.

Kitahara Makoto sat in his office, the bright sunlight streaming in through the window softening his rugged features.

He looked down as he reviewed the documents, his brow furrowing and relaxing at times.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the doorway, and called out softly:

"Li Hua, come in here for a moment."

Light footsteps sounded outside the door, and soon, assistant Li Hua pushed the door open and entered.

With a professional smile on his face, he walked steadily to Kitahara Makoto and respectfully asked:

"General Manager Bei, what are your orders?"

·····Requesting flowers··········

Kitahara Shin put down the document in his hand, looked directly at Li Hua, and said firmly:

"I'd like to know what stage the lawsuit against Fan Dingzhen, the son of the CEO of Alibaba Group, has reached?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hua quickly recalled the relevant case details in his mind and then replied:

"Mr. Bei, we have now collected enough evidence, including evidence that Fan Dingzhen bribed our company's finance department staff."

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

"And related documents concerning the resulting problems with the company's cash flow. We have submitted the lawsuit materials to the court and are awaiting further notice from the court."

Kitahara Shin nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He continued:

“Very good, this matter is very important to us. We must ensure that all the evidence is accurate and leave no room for the other side to retaliate.”

Li Hua listened attentively and nodded to indicate that he understood. He continued:

"Mr. Bei, please rest assured. Our legal team has conducted in-depth research and discussion on this case and has developed a detailed litigation strategy."

"We will do everything in our power to ensure that the company's interests are protected to the greatest extent possible."

Chapter 244 NN Stock Market Decline

Kitahara Makoto continued to bury himself in his work in the office, his eyes focused and deep, as if trying to see through every single document.

The pen tip flew across the paper, making a rustling sound that mingled with the breeze outside the window and the distant sounds of traffic, creating a unique symphony.

As time went by, Kitahara Makoto kept flipping through the documents, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a satisfied smile.

He meticulously examined every detail to ensure that every decision was accurate.

His focus and seriousness filled the entire office with an atmosphere of rigor and efficiency.

Unbeknownst to him, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto Kitahara Makoto's desk, casting a long shadow of him.

He looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

He knew that his workday was coming to an end, but he also understood that more challenges and opportunities awaited him.

He stood up, walked to the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the warmth of the setting sun and the gentle breeze.

His mood lightened, as if all his fatigue and stress had been released at that moment.

He turned back to his desk, carefully revised the last document, and then neatly placed it aside.

Kitahara stretched and prepared to take a short rest.

He turned on his computer and habitually checked the company's stock price; however, the number in front of him stunned him instantly.

NN's stock price has plummeted due to a series of recent events, and has now fallen to an unbelievable low.

Kitahara Makoto's heart sank; he understood that this was a huge blow to the company.

He quickly browsed the relevant news and analysis articles, trying to understand the specific reasons for the stock price decline.

It turns out that, in addition to market concerns triggered by the termination of the cooperation with Alibaba, some unfavorable rumors and reports are also affecting investor confidence.

Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions.

Kitahara Makoto sat at his desk, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface, his thoughts surging like a tide.

Suddenly, the invitation from the Netflix CEO flashed through his mind, and in that instant, he felt as if he saw a glimmer of hope...

His eyes brightened, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a clear plan immediately formed in his mind.

He thought of using this opportunity to meet with the CEO of Netflix to leverage the power of the media to change public opinion online and thus boost the company's stock price.

Kitahara Makoto knew all too well that in this age of information overload, the power of public opinion was immense.

If we can use media reports and publicity to let more people know the true situation and development prospects of the company.

Investor confidence will gradually recover, and stock prices will rebound accordingly.

He immediately picked up the phone and contacted the company's public relations department, explaining his plan in detail.

He instructed the public relations department to communicate closely with Netflix CEO 2.9 to ensure that a consensus could be reached during their meeting and to develop a concrete cooperation plan.

At the same time, Kitahara Shinya also arranged for his assistant to closely monitor online public opinion and collect and analyze relevant information in a timely manner.

He believes that as long as the correct public opinion is guided, it is possible to effectively influence investors' psychological expectations and thus guide changes in stock prices.

Chapter 245 Is Mai having fun over there?

After completing the emergency stock market response strategy in his office, Kitahara Makoto breathed a long sigh of relief.

He felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to have lightened a bit, but the responsibility in his heart felt even heavier.

He knew that every step from now on was crucial and could not be taken lightly.

However, even amidst his busy work schedule, Kitahara Makoto did not forget to care for his girlfriend, Sakurajima Mai.

He picked up his phone and dialed Mai Sakurajima's number. Mai Sakurajima's familiar and gentle voice quickly came through the phone.
