Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Liu Ruyu nodded, indicating that she was very willing to discuss these issues with Kitahara Makoto and seek the best solution.

Therefore, the two began to have in-depth discussions and negotiations on these details.

In this process, Kitahara Makoto demonstrated his professional competence and leadership charisma.

He not only accurately grasped the key points of the problem, but also proposed practical solutions. His words were appropriate and powerful, which impressed Liu Ruyu.

2.9 After in-depth discussion and negotiation, both parties finally reached a consensus.

They decided to strengthen cooperation in areas such as technology integration, staffing, and risk control to jointly advance the project.

At the same time, they also agreed on the specific plans and timetable for the next step to ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation.

After the meeting, Shi Hao and Liu Ruyu expressed their heartfelt gratitude and respect to Kitahara Makoto.

Chapter 430 Haruko: I'll be waiting for you at 7 PM tonight!

They expressed their full cooperation with Kitahara Makoto in advancing the project and looked forward to further collaboration with him.

Kitahara Shinya expressed his gratitude and expectations for them, and hoped that they could create even more brilliant results together in the future.

After the cooperation was successfully concluded, Kitahara Makoto stood up and shook hands with Shi Hao and Liu Ruyu to say goodbye.

He watched his two partners leave the office, a satisfied smile on his face.

He knew that this collaboration would bring endless opportunities and possibilities to both parties.

As the office door slowly closed, Kitahara Makoto returned to his desk, a sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.

He sat down and prepared to organize his meeting notes and subsequent work plan.

Just then, the telephone on the table rang, interrupting his thoughts.

Kitahara Shin picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID read "Haruko from Starlight Tavern," and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

"Hello, is this Haruko-san?"

Kitahara answered the phone, his tone a mixture of warmth and curiosity.

"Yes, Mr. Kitahara, hello."

Haruko's voice was gentle and sweet, possessing a captivating charm.

"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your work."

"It's alright, Ms. Haruko."

Kitahara Makoto responded with a smile.

"What do you want from me?"

"Actually, I would like to invite you to the Starry Night Tavern. There are some things I would like to discuss with you in person."

Haruko's tone carried a hint of mystery and anticipation.

Kitahara Makoto paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, Ms. Haruko. When would that be?"

"Seven o'clock tonight, is that alright with you?"

Haruko asked.

"Seven o'clock tonight?"

Kitahara Makoto glanced at his schedule and, finding nothing else planned for tonight, nodded.

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

"That would be wonderful, Mr. Kitahara. We look forward to your visit."

After Haruko finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Kitahara Shin put down the phone, a sense of curiosity swirling in his mind.

What could have made Haruko call so urgently?

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto threw himself back into his work.

He gently spun his office chair, his gaze falling on the computer screen, his thoughts drifting to one of his latest ideas—to make a movie.

He knew that a successful film could not only bring huge attention to the company, but also establish the company's brand image in the industry.

Kitahara Shin took a deep breath, his hands lightly tapping on the keyboard as he began searching on WeChat for "Hayao Miyazaki," a director he had previously collaborated with.

His fingers flew across the screen, and soon he found Miyazaki Hayao's WeChat profile picture. He hesitated for a moment, then clicked the send message icon.

After the message was successfully sent, Kitahara Makoto anxiously awaited Miyazaki Hayao's reply.

He knew that Hayao Miyazaki was a very talented director whose works were loved by audiences.

If we could collaborate with him again, I believe we would be able to create a truly stunning work.

Soon after, a WeChat message notification sound appeared on the phone screen.

Kitahara Makoto quickly picked up his phone and saw Miyazaki Hayao's reply:

"President Kitahara, it's been a long time! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly, his fingers flying across the screen:

"Director Miyazaki, hello! I've recently had an idea to make a film about a tragic love story. What do you think?"

Miyazaki Hayao's reply came quickly:

"Regretful love? That's a very profound topic. I've always been interested in love. Do you have any specific thoughts?"

Chapter 431: A Love Story About Regret?

Kitahara Makoto thought for a moment, then continued typing:

"I want to fill this film with some fantasy elements so that the audience can feel both the sweetness of love and the bitterness of regret during the viewing process."

Do you have any good ideas or suggestions?

Miyazaki's reply appeared to be well-considered.

“I do have some ideas. You could consider setting the movie in a mysterious world and having the main characters experience a series of fantastical adventures.”

"During this process, they met and fell in love, but for various reasons, they could not be together."

"This kind of setting can both attract the audience's attention and delve into the theme of regretful love."

Kitahara Makoto's eyes lit up; he found Miyazaki Hayao's idea very interesting.

"That's great! Do you think this story should be fantasy, imaginative, or conventional?"

Hayao Miyazaki quickly replied: "Personally, I prefer something more imaginative."

We can combine fantasy elements with real life to create a unique visual experience.

This satisfies the audience's imagination and makes it easier for them to resonate with the story.

Kitahara nodded, finding Miyazaki's suggestion very insightful:

"No problem! I'll send you some detailed introductions and story outlines later, and you can see if they suit your taste."

Hayao Miyazaki replied:

"Okay, I look forward to seeing your work. Please let me know if you need any help."

Kitahara felt a warmth in her heart, and her gratitude towards Miyazaki Hayao was overflowing:

"Thank you so much! With your support, I believe this movie will be a great success."

Next, Kitahara Makoto began busily organizing the film's story outline and synopsis.

He typed rapidly on the keyboard as he pondered how to cleverly integrate these elements.

His face showed a focused and excited expression, as if he could already see the day the movie would be successfully released.

After much effort, Kitahara Makoto finally completed the film's story outline and synopsis.

He opened WeChat again and sent the files to Hayao Miyazaki.

Opening:

"The female protagonist, Mitsuha, is a high school student living in the ancient town of Itomori."

"The protagonist, Taki, is a high school student living in bustling Tokyo who has always dreamed of leaving his hometown to live in Tokyo."

"Their lives were originally mundane and boring. But a dream changed the course of their lives."

"They swapped bodies in their dreams, living as each other, and constantly traveling through different time periods."

"We communicated through diaries and cell phone messages. Although we had never met, we gradually became familiar with each other and participated in each other's lives."

Medium-length:

"The meteorite that broke off from the comet destroyed Itomori Town, and Mitsuha also died in that disaster."

"From then on, Taki never dreamed like he used to, and he began his journey to find Mitsuha."

"After many twists and turns, we finally found the town from our memories, only to discover an astonishing secret."

"It turns out that the two of them not only traveled through space, but also through three years of time. Taki finally understands why Mitsuha disappeared."

Final Chapter:

(Li Nuo Zhao) "At the end of the story, Taki and Mitsuha went through many hardships together and successfully saved the town of Yang."

"Mitsuha, the girl, survived the disaster and came to live in Tokyo. Taki continued his life, and both of them lost their memories of what happened back then."

"But they longed for each other and searched for one another in the vast sea of ​​people."

Although they no longer remembered each other's names and faces, as if guided by fate, a fleeting glance in the crowd led to their long-awaited reunion.

Chapter 432 Miyazaki Hayao: Okay, okay, okay

A short while later, Miyazaki Hayao's reply came through:

"Mr. Kitahara, your work is fantastic! I really love the story outline and synopsis. I'm confident we can create a very successful film."

Upon seeing this message, Kitahara Makoto was overwhelmed with excitement.

He knew that with Miyazaki's support and approval, the film would be a huge success.

He took a deep breath, as if he could already feel the endless glory and sense of accomplishment that the movie brought him.

As the conversation with Hayao Miyazaki drew to a close, it was noon before we knew it.

Kitahara felt a slight hunger pang. He stretched his body gently, stood up from the chair, and yawned.

His movements were fluid and elegant, as if he were releasing the tension he had been feeling from thinking for a long time.

Kitahara Makoto looked around the office. Most of his colleagues had already left for lunch, and the entire office was unusually quiet.

He picked up his coat from the hanger, put it on gently, and prepared to go out to find food as well.

He knew that a delicious lunch could not only fill his stomach, but also inject new energy into his work in the afternoon.

Stepping out of his office, Kitahara Makoto walked along the familiar corridor toward the company cafeteria.

However, as he passed the ice cream section (cecj), a refreshing aroma wafted over him, causing him to stop in his tracks.

He turned his head and saw that the refrigerator was filled with ice cream of various flavors, colorful and extremely tempting.

Kitahara Makoto smiled slightly, thinking to himself:

"I'm not hungry right now anyway, so I might as well have an ice cream to satisfy my craving."

He walked to the refrigerator and carefully selected his favorite flavor—a vanilla chocolate double flavor ice cream.

He gently took the ice cream out of the refrigerator, feeling the cool temperature coming from his fingertips.

Kitahara Makoto returned to the elevator with the ice cream and pressed the button to go to the first floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, he stepped inside, and pressed the close button.

The elevator began to descend slowly. He stood inside, enjoying the refreshing taste of the ice cream while admiring the scenery outside the window.

As the elevator descended, Kitahara Makoto felt his mood become more relaxed and cheerful.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He could almost feel the icy coolness of the ice cream spreading in his mouth, taking away the restlessness and anxiety he had felt from thinking about the movie plot.

The elevator doors opened again, and Kitahara Makoto stepped out.
