Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing immediately perked up:

"Huiwang Group (Li Lihao)? That's a big company! No problem, I'll go with you. I'm also quite interested in how overseas companies operate."

Kitahara Makoto felt a surge of gratitude upon hearing Liu Xing's prompt agreement:

"That's great, Liu Xing, thank you. With you here, I feel much more confident."

Liu Xing joked with a smile:

"You're a well-known entrepreneur in our country, why would you be afraid to discuss cooperation? However, with me here, I can at least help you avoid some cultural misunderstandings."

Chapter 377 North: Get me some vegetables and rice.

Kitahara Shinya laughed:

"Yes, I've pretty much figured out the domestic market, but there are still many differences with overseas companies. With you here, I have even more confidence."

After chatting for a while, Kitahara Makoto suddenly thought of an important question:

"Liu Xing, are you free tonight? If not, I'll go by myself."

Liu Xing quickly replied:

"I'm free, of course I'm free. How could I miss such an important event? Don't worry, I'll be there on time."

Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good. Let's go together tonight, I'll wait for you at the company."

Liu Xing agreed:

"No problem, see you tonight. By the way, have you prepared a plan for talking to Huang Zheng?"

Kitahara Shin thought for a moment, then replied in 553:

"I've figured out the general framework for cooperation, but we need to discuss the specific details tonight. Do you have any suggestions?"

Liu Xing thought for a moment and said:

“I think you can learn more about Huiwang Group’s corporate culture and development strategy, which will make your conversation more targeted.”

"In addition, you can prepare some specific cases and data to support your point of view."

Kitahara nodded:

"Okay, I'll prepare. Thank you for your suggestion, Liu Xing."

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up. Kitahara Makoto put down his phone, his heart filled with anticipation for the upcoming collaboration.

He knew that with the help of his friend Liu Xing, this collaboration would definitely go much more smoothly.

Kitahara Makoto looked up at the wall clock; the hour hand had already pointed to two in the afternoon.

He then realized that he had been so busy preparing for meetings and phone calls that he had forgotten to eat lunch.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, took a deep breath, and prepared to call his assistant, Li Hua, to help him get some food.

Kitahara Makoto stood up, walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed Li Hua's number.

Li Hua's voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Bei, hello, is there anything I can do for you?"

Kitahara Shin smiled and said:

"Li Hua, I forgot to eat lunch and I'm a little hungry now. Could you go to the cafeteria and get me something to eat?"

(cecj)

Li Hua immediately replied:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. I'll go to the cafeteria and see what's good to eat. What would you like to order?"

Kitahara Makoto thought for a moment and said:

"Just a fried rice and a vegetable dish, nothing too oily. Also, please bring me a bottle of mineral water."

Li Hua agreed:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. I'll take care of it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto sat back down at his desk and began organizing the cooperation documents for the evening.

He knew that this cooperation with Huiwang Group was of great significance to the company and that he had to make full preparations.

A short while later, Li Hua returned with the packed food and bottled water.

She gently knocked on the office door, then pushed it open and entered. Kitahara Makoto looked up, saw her, and smiled, saying:

"Thank you, Li Hua. You've come at the perfect time; I was just about to get hungry."

Li Hua placed the food on the desk and said:

"Mr. Bei, here is your fried rice and vegetables. Also, a bottle of mineral water."

Kitahara Makoto nodded and said:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go ahead and get busy. I have some things to take care of after I finish eating."

Li Hua agreed and turned to leave. Kitahara Makoto suddenly remembered something and called her back:

"Li Hua, wait a moment."

Chapter 378 Mai, Be Good

Li Hua stopped and turned around.

"Mr. Bei, is there anything else?"

Kitahara Makoto stood up, walked up to her, and said earnestly:

"I have an important collaboration to discuss tonight, so I might not be back until quite late."

"If there's anything urgent, take care of it first. If you can't handle it, wait for me to come back."

Li Hua nodded and said:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. You can go ahead and discuss the cooperation. I will handle the company's affairs."

Kitahara looked at her gratefully and said:

"Thank you, Li Hua. You have always been my capable assistant."

Li Hua smiled slightly and said:

"You're welcome, Mr. Bei. It's what I should do."

After saying that, she turned and left the office.

Kitahara Makoto returned to his desk and began to enjoy the lunch that Li Hua had brought.

He ate his meal while thinking about the collaboration that evening.

He knew that this collaboration was both a significant opportunity and a challenge for him. He had to give it his all to succeed.

After finishing his meal, Kitahara Makoto continued working.

He carefully checked the cooperation documents to ensure that every detail was accurate.

At the same time, he also began to think about how to communicate effectively with Huang Zheng in order to reach a cooperation agreement that is acceptable to both parties.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and Kitahara Makoto spent a busy and fulfilling afternoon.

As the last rays of the setting sun gradually filled the sky, Kitahara Makoto put down the documents in his hand and stretched gently.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside. The weariness on his face was replaced by a sense of tranquility.

He knew that the coming night would be an important moment, but he also needed to rest during this brief period of tranquility.

Kitahara Makoto picked up his phone, swiped the screen, and found his girlfriend Sakurajima Mai's contact information.

He gently pressed the dial button, a warm feeling welling up inside him. Sakurajima Mai's gentle voice quickly came from the other end of the line:

"Hey, honey, how was your day?"

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes:

"Honey, I had a pretty good day. How about you? Did you have fun with Liu Qingqing?"

Mai Sakurajima's voice was filled with joy:

"Of course I'm happy! We got our nails done, got new hairstyles, and bought lots of little trinkets. How about you? Is work going well?"

·····Requesting flowers··········

Kitahara Shin nodded, though Sakurajima Mai couldn't see it, he still habitually made the gesture:

"Well, work went fairly well. But, honey, there's something I need to tell you."

Mai Sakurajima's smile faded when she heard the seriousness in Makoto Kitahara's tone.

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

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Kitahara Shin took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound as light as possible:

"Actually, it's nothing serious, it's just that I can't have dinner with you tonight."

Mai Sakurajima paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure:

"Oh? Why? Is there something important?"

Kitahara Makoto nodded, walked to the sofa, sat down, and adjusted to a comfortable position.

"Yes, I have to meet with a very important client tonight to discuss a collaboration. This collaboration is very important to the company, so I have to go."

Mai Sakurajima nodded understandingly:

"I understand, work is always important. So, what time are you coming back tonight?" (Tu)

Chapter 379 All-Round Assistant Li Hua

Kitahara Makoto pondered for a moment and said:

"The exact time is still uncertain, but I'll try to be back as soon as possible. Honey, I'm sorry to have left you to eat dinner alone."

Mai Sakurajima smiled gently, her voice filled with tolerance and understanding:

"It's okay, darling. Go ahead and do your thing, I'll take care of myself. But remember to come back soon, I'll be waiting for you."

A warm feeling welled up inside Kitahara's heart. He knew how fortunate he was to have such a considerate and understanding girlfriend. He said softly:

"Okay, honey. I'll definitely be back soon. Get some rest tonight, don't wait for me."

Mai Sakurajima responded gently:

"Yes, I will. You should also take care of yourself and not overwork yourself."

The two chatted for a while longer before reluctantly hanging up the phone. Kitahara Makoto put down his phone, gazing at the night view outside the window, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew that his ability to devote himself wholeheartedly to his work was inseparable from Mai Sakurajima's support and understanding.

Kitahara Makoto put down his phone, took a deep breath, as if to expel all the fatigue and stress from his body.

He looked up at the gradually descending night outside the window, a strange mix of tension and anticipation welling up inside him.

At this moment, assistant Li Hua gently knocked on the door, pushed it open, and entered with a professional smile on her face, saying softly:

"Mr. Bei, the hotel for tonight has been booked in advance, and everything is arranged."

Kitahara Makoto turned his gaze away from the window, turned to Li Hua, and nodded slightly, indicating his approval of her work.

He glanced at the wall clock and realized there were still several hours until the appointed time, so after a moment's thought, he said:

"Okay, that's good. While you're at it, could you also fill up the gas tank for me? I'm worried about being late on my way back tonight."

Li Hua quickly noted down the task and replied with a smile, "Okay, no problem. I'll arrange it right away."

She turned to leave, but was stopped by Kitahara Makoto.

"and many more,"

Kitahara Makoto stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a document, and handed it to Li Hua.

"This is background information about Huiwang Group. Could you take a look and see if there's anything I should pay special attention to?"

Li Hua took the document and began to carefully read through it. Her brow furrowed and relaxed intermittently, clearly indicating she was meticulously studying the information...

After a while, she looked up and said to Kitahara Makoto:
