Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

The light and shadow from the computer screen reflected on his focused and resolute face, making him appear exceptionally serious and focused.

Kitahara Makoto is well aware of the weight of his responsibilities. He needs to maintain a clear mind and keen insight at all times in order to respond promptly to the various challenges and opportunities facing the company.

In this spacious and bright office, he will use his wisdom and courage to lead the company to an even brighter future.

Kitahara Makoto sat at his desk, his eyes fixed intently on the revenue report on the computer screen.

His brow furrowed and relaxed at times, as if he were pondering the meaning behind each number.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, producing a crisp and rhythmic sound.

As his fingers danced, Kitahara Makoto's thoughts raced.

He knew he was about to go to Nanjing for a concert. Although he was full of longing for the long-awaited musical feast, he was also aware of his responsibilities.

He must ensure that the company's operations remain stable and without any mishaps during his absence.

Kitahara Makoto began to sort out the important tasks for the next few days one by one.

He first checked the schedules of each department to ensure that the progress of each task was under control.

Next, he carefully reviewed the contracts and agreements that were about to be signed, making sure that no details were overlooked.

He also paid special attention to the sales department's performance and considered how to adjust the sales strategy to cope with market changes.

Kitahara Makoto's expression appeared very serious and focused during the work arrangement process.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, revealing a resolute and decisive quality.

His fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, as if playing a beautiful symphony.

As the work was gradually completed, Kitahara Makoto's mood also began to relax.

Chapter 473 Making Arrangements for a Few Days Later

He took a deep breath and felt a sense of ease and relief he had never experienced before.

He knew he had arranged everything for the company, ensuring its stable operation even after his departure.

This gave him great confidence in his decision-making and management abilities.

At this moment, Kitahara Makoto was filled with anticipation and excitement.

He is looking forward to the upcoming Nanjing concert and to meeting with many music lovers.

At the same time, he also looks forward to leading the company to a more brilliant future under his leadership.

After arranging all the company's affairs, Kitahara Makoto breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He looked up at the window; sunlight dappled the desk, creating golden patches of light. Just then, the office door opened gently; it was his personal assistant, Li Hua.

"dong dong dong"

Three crisp knocks on the door interrupted Kitahara Makoto's reverie.

He looked away, adjusted his posture, and said with a smile:

"Please come in."

The door slowly opened, and Li Hua walked in. She was dressed in a business suit and looked capable and efficient.

Seeing Kitahara Makoto sitting at his desk, she quickly walked over and respectfully said (cecj):

"Mr. Bei, good afternoon. What brings you back? Is there something urgent?"

Kitahara Makoto nodded and said:

"Yes, I came back to make arrangements for the company in advance. I'm going on a long trip in a few days to Nanjing to participate in a live concert."

Upon hearing this, Li Hua's face showed concern, and he said:

"President Bei, please rest assured. I will keep a close eye on the company while you are away and ensure that all tasks proceed smoothly."

Kitahara Makoto had complete faith in Li Hua's abilities, and he said with a smile:

"I know I feel much more at ease with you at the company. However, I still want to give you a few more words of advice."

"I might be going to Nanjing for a long time this time, so I'll leave the company matters to you."

Li Hua nodded and said:

"President Bei, please rest assured. I will do my best to ensure that the company does not encounter any problems."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in satisfaction, then, remembering the upcoming New Year, asked:

"Li Hua, there are only three months left until the Chinese New Year. What do you think we should do to prepare?"

After a moment's thought, Li Hua said:

"Mr. Bei, I think we can have the planning department prepare in advance."

"For example, we can develop some New Year's activity plans or prepare some New Year's gifts to make employees feel the warmth and care of the company."

Kitahara Makoto pondered for a moment and said:

"No need to rush, these things can be prepared slowly."

"Your main task now is to work according to the document I will send you later."

"This document details my schedule for the next few days and the things I need to pay attention to. You must read it carefully and follow through on each one."

Li Hua solemnly accepted the document and said:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. I will definitely read and implement your requirements carefully."

Kitahara Shinichi then said:

"We'll talk about the rest when I get back to the company. If there's any emergency in the meantime, you can contact me anytime."

Li Hua nodded and said:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. I understand. You can go to Nanjing with peace of mind. I will take care of things at the company."

Kitahara looked at Li Hua gratefully and said:

"Thank you, Li Hua. With you by my side, I really have a lot less to worry about."

Li Hua smiled modestly and said:

"Mr. Bei, you flatter me. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."

Chapter 474 North: Do I need that little bit of profit sharing?

After chatting about work for a while, Li Hua left the office.

Kitahara Shin watched her retreating figure, his heart filled with gratitude and trust.

He knew that with a capable assistant like Li Hua by his side, he could feel more at ease.

After Li Hua left, Kitahara Makoto's phone vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Zhao Yang.

Zhaoyang is his good friend and a music lover. This time, he specially sent a message to remind him that Robben's concert will start the day after tomorrow.

Kitahara Shin opened the message and saw that Zhaoyang had written:

"Jacob's concert starts the day after tomorrow at the stadium on Central Avenue in Nanjing at 8 PM. Don't forget, you absolutely have to come!"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and quickly replied with a "I'll definitely be there" emoji.

He was looking forward to Robben's concert and was grateful that Zhaoyang always remembered his preferences and informed him of important music events in a timely manner.

After replying to Zhaoyang, Kitahara Makoto stretched and felt much more relaxed.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and felt a surge of urge to relax.

At that moment, he remembered Haruko, his partner in a tavern they co-owned.

This tavern is their life's work, and business has been booming lately. The three of them—Haruko, Evelyn, and Ji Bochang—are almost constantly busy.

Kitahara Makoto took out his phone and dialed Haruko's number. Haruko's familiar voice quickly came through the other end:

"Hey, Kitahara, is that you?"

"Well, it's me."

Kitahara Makoto replied,

"Haruko, are you still at the bar?"

"Of course we're here. Business has been so good lately that Evelyn, Uncle Ji, and I are almost overwhelmed with work."

Haruko's tone was tinged with weariness, but more so with satisfaction and excitement.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Kitahara Makoto said,

"By the way, I've already transferred this month's dividend to your account."

"Are you stupid? You're keeping it as reserve funds for the tavern."

Haruko immediately retorted,

"The tavern needs money right now, so you should keep it for now."

Kitahara Makoto smiled and said:

"Do I look like someone who's short of a share of the profits? Don't worry, I have my own money. This money is rightfully yours, so just keep it."

Haruko was silent for a moment, then said:

"No, rules are rules. We can't break the rules just because business is good."

·····Requesting flowers··········

Kitahara Makoto knew Haruko's personality well; she was a very principled person.

So he stopped insisting and said:

"Okay, I can't argue with you. Could you make me a serving of that Indian lamb stew from last time? I suddenly have a craving for it."

"Okay, no problem."

Haruko readily agreed.

......... 0

Are you coming over later?

"Uh-huh."

Kitahara Makoto nodded.

"I'm planning to take a long vacation soon. Please take good care of the tavern."

"Are you finally going to rest?"

Haruko said with some surprise,

"You're such a workaholic, it's really not easy for you to take a break from work."

Kitahara Makoto smiled and said:

"Yes, I also feel that I need to take a break. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to enjoy life."

"I need to relax properly after Robben's concert and the subsequent vacation."

Haruko also agreed:

"Yes, everyone needs rest. Don't worry, we're here at the tavern, so go and enjoy your vacation." (Tu)

Chapter 475 Giving the Finance Department a Slap in the Face

After chatting for a while about the bar's current situation and future plans, Kitahara Shin hung up the phone.

He was filled with anticipation for the upcoming holiday and reassurance about the tavern.

He knew that with Haruko, Evelyn, and Jiber around, the tavern would only get better and better.

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Shin took a deep breath, seemingly gathering his strength for the upcoming journey.

He stood up and gently pushed the chair back to its original position, his movements fluid and elegant, revealing his consistent composure.

He straightened his tie, making sure he looked neat and alert.

Then, he strode towards the door, his steps firm and powerful, each step seemingly measuring his determination and confidence.

After walking through the spacious corridor, Kitahara Makoto arrived at the central area of ​​the company.
