Kitahara Makoto stood up, quickly walked to the door, and opened it.

A middle-aged man (cecj) stood outside the door, tall and imposing, with an extraordinary air about him. He was Huang Zhengbin of Huiwang Group.

"Mr. Huang, welcome!"

Kitahara Makoto warmly extended his hand to shake hands with Hwang Jung-bin.

"Please allow me to introduce our meeting room to you."

Huang Zhengbin smiled and nodded, then followed Kitahara Makoto into the conference room.

Inside the meeting room, Kitahara Makoto gave a detailed presentation on the company's projects, team strength, and future development plans.

His words were full of confidence and enthusiasm, which made Huang Zhengbin even more impressed with the company.

Throughout the meeting, Kitahara Makoto maintained his most energetic state and best performance.

He won Huang Zhengbin's recognition and praise with his professional skills and personal charm.

After the contract was signed, the entire conference room was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Kitahara Shin and Hwang Jung-bin shook hands, both with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Huang Zhengbin's eyes revealed his anticipation and confidence in this collaboration, while Kitahara Makoto expressed more joy at the potential success of the partnership.

"Mr. Bei, this collaboration has been very pleasant, and I believe it will be a complete success."

Huang Zhengbin stood up and, while organizing his documents, spoke.

Chapter 398 Haruko: You haven't been here for days

"Yes, Mr. Huang, I also very much look forward to our future cooperation."

Kitahara Makoto responded, extending his hand to shake hands with Hwang Jung-bin again.

"This collaboration is just the beginning, and I believe we will have many more opportunities to work together."

"Indeed."

Huang Zhengbin nodded in agreement.

"However, I have some things to take care of today, so I'll have to leave now. Next time I come, we'll celebrate properly."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, I'll see you out."

Kitahara Shin stood up and personally escorted Huang Zhengbin to the meeting room door.

He extended his hand to Huang Zhengbin to say goodbye, and at the same time gave him some instructions:

"Take care on your journey, and I look forward to seeing you again."

Kitahara Makoto watched Huang Zhengbin's car drive further and further away until it disappeared at the end of the street before he turned his gaze away and let out a long breath.

The tension and anticipation in my heart transformed into an indescribable sense of accomplishment, as if the burden on my shoulders had lightened considerably.

He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, turned and walked towards his office, intending to inform his team members of the successful collaboration and share the joy with them.

However, when he entered the office, he found his colleagues busy with their own work, and it seemed that no one had noticed that he had just seen off an important guest.

Kitahara Makoto was slightly taken aback, but then he realized that it was working hours and everyone had their own responsibilities to fulfill.

He nodded, deciding to share this joy with everyone later.

At that moment, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the sky outside the window.

The sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is gentle; it's the perfect time to go out for a stroll.

He suddenly remembered that around noon, Haruko and her team should have been busy preparing for business at the Starlight Tavern.

As their friend and partner, he felt it necessary to go and see how their business was doing.

So, Kitahara Shin straightened his clothes and left the office.

He walked through the company lobby, came to the door, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The sunlight shone on his face, warm and comforting him.

Kitahara Shin then arrived at the parking lot, started the car, and headed towards the Starlight Tavern.

Along the way, he enjoyed the scenery along the street and felt the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the city.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Starry Night Tavern. The tavern's sign shimmered in the sunlight, making it particularly eye-catching.

·····Requesting flowers··········

He walked into the tavern, and a faint aroma of wine wafted towards him, making him feel particularly at ease.

Inside the tavern, Haruko was busy directing her team to prepare lunch. When she saw Kitahara Makoto, she immediately smiled with delight and put down her work to come over.

"Kitahara Makoto, what brings you here? What a rare guest!"

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

Haruko greeted her warmly.

"I heard your tavern is doing well, so I came to check it out."

Kitahara Makoto responded with a smile.

"Oh, you're so thoughtful!"

Haruko's smile widened even more.

"You haven't been here for a few days. I've come to show you how the store has changed."

Haruko took Kitahara Makoto's hand and showed him around the tavern.

She gave a detailed introduction to the bar's decor, signature dishes, and cocktails. Kitahara Makoto listened with great interest, nodding in approval from time to time.

"The atmosphere here is great, and the food and drinks are excellent."

Kitahara Shin exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"Of course! We are always committed to providing the best service and food to our guests."

Haruko proudly said, "It's rustic."

Chapter 399 Big Star Friend?

Kitahara Makoto and Haruko sat in a corner of the Starlight Tavern, the afternoon sun shining through the window and creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Haruko wore a light blue dress that accentuated her fresh and refined气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament), and a sweet smile graced her face, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

At this moment, Evelyn at the front desk was busy greeting guests. Her long chestnut hair was cleverly tied back, making her look both capable and elegant.

Her face was exquisite, and her demeanor exuded a professional air.

Bartender Ji Bochang stood behind the bar, intently mixing cocktails. His skillful technique and every shake were full of artistry.

Kitahara Shin picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and then turned to Haruko with a hint of concern on his face:

"Haruko, have you seen the latest news?"

Haruko paused slightly, then nodded:

"I watched it, it was quite scary."

Her brow furrowed slightly, as if she were somewhat uneasy about the news.

"What is it?"

Ji Bochang interrupted curiously, stopping his work and turning to look at the two of them.

Haruko sighed and said slowly:

"It's about a US plane that went out of control and crashed into a residential area, causing many casualties."

Upon hearing this, Ji Bochang also revealed a serious expression:

"Really? That's terrible. Such an accident is truly heartbreaking."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in agreement.

He looked around and noticed that the atmosphere in the tavern was also somewhat heavy because of the news.

He thought for a moment and decided to change the subject:

"By the way, Haruko, could you buy me a lottery ticket later? I'm in a good mood today."

Haruko laughed upon hearing this:

"Great, that's perfect, I'm going out to see some friends later."

"What friend?"

Kitahara asked curiously.

Haruko smiled mysteriously:

"Hehe, a big star, the kind who acts in TV dramas." Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she were about to meet her idol.

"really?"

Kitahara Makoto's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's great. My company also has film and television business, and we may have collaborated before."

Haruko became even more excited after hearing this:

"Really? That's such a coincidence! Let's get to know each other sometime; maybe there'll be an opportunity for collaboration..."

Kitahara nodded in agreement. He suddenly realized that Evelyn might also be interested in this topic, so he turned to her and said:

"Evelyn, come and listen too, Haruko is going to meet a big star!"

Evelyn looked up at this, a curious expression on her face:

"A big star? Who is it? I'd love to meet him too."

Haruko introduced with a smile:

"He's the kind of big star who acts in TV dramas. I've only heard his name, but I've never met him in person."

Evelyn's eyes sparkled with anticipation after hearing this:

"He must be really handsome! I want to meet him sometime."

Ji Bochang also chimed in:

"Then I'll go check out 2.9 later too, maybe I can get a photo with it!"

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and the atmosphere in the tavern became more relaxed and pleasant because of this conversation.

Looking at Haruko's excited expression and Evelyn and Ji Bochang's curious eyes, Kitahara Makoto felt a warmth in his heart.

He knew that this was the power of friendship, enabling people to support each other in times of difficulty and share joy in times of happiness.

Chapter 400 Seafood Feast? Gout Package

At that moment, Kitahara Makoto glanced at the bright sunlight outside the window and suddenly realized that it was already noon. His stomach also rumbled at just the right time.

He smiled and said to everyone, "By the way, we've been busy all morning and haven't had lunch yet. Are you all hungry?"

Haruko shook her head first, but then nodded, smiling as she said:

"Our sales were so good last night, so we're planning to stock up on drinks today. But you're right, we still need to have lunch."

Evelyn listened, glanced at Haruko hesitantly, and said worriedly:

"But Sister Haruko, we haven't finished preparing the drinks yet."

Ji Bochang also chimed in:

"Yes, 24. There are still several boxes that haven't been opened."

Haruko smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders, saying:

"Are you guys stupid? Boss Yuanzhen said he's treating, why don't you hurry up and go have a good meal?"

Evelyn's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she jumped up excitedly:

"Really? Then let's go have a seafood feast right away!"

Ji Bochang also showed an expectant expression and said with a smile:
