Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's face broke into a satisfied smile. He nodded and said:

"Very good, Li Hua. These arrangements are very thoughtful. Remember to remind me that I want to go and check it out once the ice cream machine and ice cream arrive."

Chapter 355 Cooperation with Nefix

Li Hua nodded, indicating that she understood. She looked at Kitahara Makoto and continued:

"President, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Kitahara Shin shook his head and said:

"That's all, Li Hua. You can go back to your work. If there's any emergency, please let me know immediately."

Li Hua stood up, bowed to Kitahara Makoto, and then turned and left the office.

Her figure gradually disappeared outside the door, leaving behind a quiet and orderly office environment.

Kitahara Shin picked up the Nefix cooperation agreement, his eyes immediately becoming focused and sharp.

He knew the importance of this contract to the company, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.

He read the contract word by word, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding slightly, as if he were engaged in a silent battle with the words.

His fingers glide lightly across the paper, turning each page with utmost care, as if afraid of missing any detail.

As he read on, his expression grew increasingly serious, as if he were pondering whether every clause in the contract was in the company's best interests.

After careful study, Kitahara Makoto finally gained a comprehensive understanding of the contract's contents.

He put down the contract, took a deep breath, picked up the pen on the table, and began to review some documents that required his signature.

Most of these documents are related to the company's daily operations. Although they are not as important as cooperation agreements, they still need to be carefully reviewed by Kitahara Makoto.

He carefully read the contents of each document, marking the places that needed to be modified or supplemented with a pen.

His handwriting is neat and powerful, and each character seems to tell of his seriousness and responsibility towards his work.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and before we knew it, it was already 10:30 in the morning.

Kitahara Shin looked up at the wall clock and nodded slightly, as if to tell himself that the time was just right.

He stood up, walked to the computer, and gently pressed the power button.

The computer screen gradually lit up, and Kitahara Makoto skillfully opened the video conferencing software and entered the meeting number agreed upon with Nefix.

With a crisp ringtone, the video conference interface appeared on the screen.

Kitahara Makoto sat back down at his desk and adjusted the camera angle to ensure he was clearly visible in the frame.

He took a deep breath, a confident and composed smile appearing on his face.

He knew that the upcoming video conference would be a crucial moment for his negotiations with Nefix representatives.

As the meeting officially began, a representative from Nefix appeared on the screen.

They were dressed in formal attire, with professional smiles on their faces, appearing both professional and enthusiastic. Kitahara Makoto greeted them warmly, and then the tense negotiations began.

Throughout the negotiations, Kitahara Makoto remained calm and rational.

He listened carefully to the other party's opinions and requests, and then gave a corresponding response based on his own understanding and judgment.

His words conveyed firmness and confidence, allowing the other party to feel his sincerity and determination in cooperating.

After intense discussions and negotiations, Kitahara Makoto and the Nefix representative finally reached an agreement.

They jointly signed a cooperation agreement and agreed on the details and plans for subsequent cooperation.

As the meeting ended, Kitahara Makoto felt an unprecedented sense of relief and satisfaction.

Kitahara Makoto knew that this successful collaboration would bring both tremendous opportunities and challenges to the company's future development.

Kitahara Makoto stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the distant skyscrapers and bustling streets, his heart filled with boundless longing and hope.

Chapter 356 Company Cafeteria

Kitahara Shin gazed at all of this quietly, a strange excitement welling up inside him.

He imagined the changes and opportunities that the partnership with Nefix would bring, and his heart was filled with boundless anticipation.

He knew that this collaboration was not just a simple business transaction, but a crucial step in the company's future development.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and before we knew it, it was around noon.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell warmly on Kitahara Makoto, creating a sense of comfort and tranquility.

He gently closed his eyes, savoring the tranquility and beauty.

At noon, the company's office area gradually quieted down, with only the occasional sound of keyboard typing and telephone ringing breaking the silence.

Kitahara Makoto tidied up the files on his desk, gently closed his laptop, and stood up.

He glanced around to make sure he hadn't missed anything important, then headed toward the company cafeteria.

The cafeteria is located in the central area of ​​the company, and through the transparent glass windows, you can see the bustling crowd inside.

Kitahara Shin walked into the cafeteria, and the aroma of food wafted towards him, causing him to frown slightly, yet also feel a sense of anticipation.

He looked around, searching for a relatively quiet corner.

He chose a seat by the window, a spot that allowed him to see the scenery outside while avoiding excessive noise.

He had barely sat down when several employees noticed him and came over to greet him.

The first one was Xiao Wang from the sales department. He was carrying a steaming plate of stir-fried vegetables, and his face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Good afternoon, North Campus! Are you eating in the cafeteria today too?"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and nodded in response:

"Yes, we should come and experience the staff's dining environment from time to time."

Xiao Wang laughed even harder after hearing this:

"Then you must try our cafeteria's signature dish, it tastes really good."

Kitahara thanked him with a smile, then turned his gaze to the other side.

He saw Xiao Li from the HR department walking towards him, carrying an elegant plate with a brightly colored salad on it.

Good afternoon, Beijing General Manager!

Xiao Li greeted him warmly.

You look great today.

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:

"Yes, work went very smoothly today, and I'm in a good mood."

Xiao Li smiled and nodded, then said:

"Then you should eat more so you'll have the energy to continue working this afternoon."

He took out his phone, glanced at the time on the screen, and then gently put it down.

The cafeteria staff busily moved through the crowd, carrying steaming hot meals.

Kitahara Makoto watched as the aunties skillfully placed the food on the table, his gaze finally settling on a Japanese bento box that looked and smelled delicious.

He nodded and gestured to the auntie that he wanted the bento box. The auntie smiled and placed the bento box in front of him, then quickly moved on to the next customer.

Kitahara Shin opened the bento box, and a refreshing aroma wafted out.

He picked up a piece of sushi and took a small bite.

The soft, sticky rice, the fresh fish, and the salty-sweet sauce blended together, making him squint his eyes, as if he had forgotten all his troubles at that moment.

As lunchtime progressed, more and more employees noticed Kitahara Makoto.

They all came over to greet him, some asking about his recent work, others simply expressing their respect and greetings.

Kitahara Shindo responded to each question, his face always bearing a warm smile, revealing his approachable nature.

In this atmosphere, Kitahara Makoto enjoyed his lunch break and also built a deeper connection with his employees.

He knew that, as the company's president, maintaining good relationships with employees was one of the keys to the company's success.

Chapter 357 A Nightmare in the Afternoon!

After finishing his lunch, Kitahara Makoto put down his cutlery with satisfaction, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and then stood up to return to his CEO office.

He walked through the bustling cafeteria, the sounds of people talking and clinking cutlery gradually fading into the distance.

Stepping out of the cafeteria, he took a deep breath of fresh air and immediately felt refreshed.

Walking along the familiar corridor, Kitahara Makoto's steps were steady, each step exuding composure.

The corridor was lined with glass-partitioned offices. Occasionally, employees would look up and nod at him with a smile. He would respond to each one, a gentle smile always on his face.

After walking through a long corridor and turning a corner, Kitahara Makoto arrived at the door of his CEO office.

He gently pushed open the door and went inside.

The office is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow plenty of sunlight to flood the entire space.

The desk was neatly arranged with a computer, documents, and office supplies.

Kitahara Makoto walked to his desk and first hung his coat on the hanger.

Then he walked to the desk and his gaze fell on the cup of tea that had already been brewed.

The tea leaves unfurl in the water, releasing a delicate fragrance that seems to dispel the fatigue of a long morning.

Kitahara Makoto slowly sat down, picked up his teacup, and gently blew away the steam rising from the tea.

He closed his eyes, savoring the mellow taste of the tea, feeling the aroma lingering in his mouth, as if it could wash away all his worries and stress.

Putting down his teacup, Kitahara Makoto stood up and walked to the sofa next to him.

Then he lay down on the soft sofa. He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and gradually relaxed his body.

The sofa was spacious and comfortable, as if it could embrace all his fatigue.

He felt his body being gently lifted by the sofa, as if floating in the air, and all weight disappeared.

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, as if expelling all his fatigue and stress with his breath.

The surrounding air seemed to quiet down, with no more noise from outside, only the soft sounds of breathing and heartbeats.

Kitahara Makoto felt as if he were in a quiet and peaceful world, and his mind found a moment of tranquility.

He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

His thoughts drifted away, as if he had traveled through a dense forest and arrived at a wide grassland.

He felt the gentle breeze caressing his cheeks, heard the birdsong and the sound of a stream in the distance, and his heart was filled with peace and tranquility.

And so, Kitahara Makoto quietly fell asleep on the office sofa, enjoying his short lunch break.

Kitahara Makoto lay on the sofa in his office, and as his breathing became steady, he gradually fell asleep.

His dream began to unfold, a scene he never imagined would appear in his mind.

In the dream, Kitahara Shinsuke is in a ruin, surrounded by broken walls and scattered documents.

He looked up and saw that the company's signboard was about to fall, and the once prosperous scene was gone.

He was startled, realizing that this was his company, but why had it become so dilapidated?

He looked around anxiously, trying to find the answer.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight—his girlfriend, Mai Sakurajima.

Her face was haggard, her eyes filled with tears, and she stood silently not far away. Kitahara's heart tightened, and he quickly walked towards her.

However, when he approached, Mai Sakurajima suddenly turned away, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Chapter 358 You must be sweating buckets, Kitahara!

Kitahara really wanted to catch up with her, but suddenly a group of people surged around them. These were all familiar faces—family, friends, and colleagues.

But at this moment their eyes were cold and distant, as if he were a stranger.

They all criticized him, saying he was a loser, that he caused the company to go bankrupt, and that he disappointed everyone.

Kitahara Makoto felt utterly desperate. He wanted to explain, to make amends, but his throat felt blocked and he couldn't utter a sound.

He watched helplessly as Mai Sakurajima disappeared into the crowd, and his family and friends left him one by one.
