Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

He knew that the place he was about to go—the Twelve Golden Buildings—was the most famous building in the city and the headquarters of the Zulong Chamber of Commerce.

As the vehicle drew closer to the Twelve Golden Domains, Kitahara Makoto's feelings became increasingly complicated.

He knew he was about to face a difficult negotiation.

But in any case, these things need to be resolved before going to Nanjing for the concert!

Kitahara (cecj) took a deep breath, composed himself, and then resolutely drove toward the gate of the Twelve Golden Pavilion.

Kitahara Makoto drove the car and finally arrived at the Twelve Golden Pavilion.

The building soars into the clouds, its silver exterior gleaming in the sunlight, resembling a modern steel behemoth standing in the heart of the city.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car steadily in the parking lot in front of the building. The moment the car door opened, a cool, refreshing air from the air conditioner wafted out.

He stepped out of the car, looked up at the majestic building, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the upcoming negotiations would be a tough battle, but he was fully prepared.

Kitahara Makoto walked straight toward the building's entrance, and the glass doors opened automatically as he approached.

He stepped into the spacious and bright lobby, where he saw an exquisite elevator standing in the center.

There was no one around, only the elevator doors closing silently, as if waiting for his arrival.

Kitahara Shin took out the Ancestral Dragon Token from his pocket, which was a symbol of his status in the Ancestral Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

He gently tapped the token on the sensor area next to the elevator, and the elevator doors slowly opened with a soft "ding".

He stepped into the elevator, which was spacious and luxurious, with gold decorative strips inlaid on the walls and smooth marble flooring.

The elevator doors closed again, and with a slight vibration, the elevator began to slowly ascend.

Kitahara Makoto stood in the elevator, his gaze calmly fixed ahead. He could feel the elevator accelerating, as if it were taking him to an unknown world.

The elevator ascended very quickly, but Kitahara Makoto did not feel any discomfort.

He stood in the middle of the elevator, hands in his pockets, his eyes resolute.

Various negotiation strategies and solutions flashed through his mind; he was ready to negotiate with the Ling family.

Soon, the elevator finally came to a stop. The elevator doors slowly opened, and a beam of bright light shone in from outside.

Kitahara Makoto stepped out of the elevator and found himself in a spacious and luxurious conference room.

He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then stepped into the conference room.

Chapter 494 Old Brother Wang

As Kitahara Makoto entered the conference room, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden dappled patterns on the smooth floor.

The meeting room was furnished with several comfortable leather sofas and a long conference table, on which documents were neatly arranged.

The entire space was filled with a calm and solemn atmosphere.

Old Wang sat on the sofa by the window. His hair was already gray, but his eyes were still bright and piercing.

He was wearing a dark Zhongshan suit with a white shirt peeking out from the collar, making him look energetic.

Old Wang held a cup of tea in his hand, gently blowing on the steam rising from it, a warm smile on his face.

Brother Xin sat at the other end of the sofa. He was a bit younger than Old Wang and wore a sharp suit, looking capable and energetic.

A carefree smile played on his lips, and a sharp glint shone in his eyes. He held a magazine in his hand, flipping through it occasionally, but his attention was clearly not on the magazine itself.

As soon as Kitahara Shin entered, Old Wang and Brother Xin both looked up and their eyes fell on him.

Kitahara Makoto was wearing a black trench coat with the collar open, revealing a white shirt and a black tie underneath.

His hair was neatly combed back, revealing a sharply defined face. His eyes were firm and deep, as if they could see right through people's hearts.

"Old Wang, Brother Xin, it's been a long time."

Kitahara greeted him with a smile, then walked to the conference table, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

"Yuanzhen, what brings you here today?"

Old Wang put down his teacup and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Genjin, you haven't been here for a long time since you founded nn Company."

Xin Ge also put down his magazine and chimed in with a smile.

"It's because the company is quite busy."

Kitahara Shin explained,

"However, I came here this time to use the Chamber of Commerce's connections to get things done."

"Oh? Have you encountered some difficulties?"

Old Wang asked with concern.

Kitahara Shin nodded, his brow furrowing slightly as he said:

"Yes, the Ling family has been getting a bit arrogant lately, and I want to put them in their place."

"The Ling family?"

Brother Xin asked, somewhat surprised.

"The Ling family is the weakest of the four major families. Why would you think of suppressing them?"

"Although the Ling family is relatively weak overall, their influence in certain areas should not be underestimated."

Kitahara Shin explained,

·····Requesting flowers··········

"Moreover, they seem to have recently gained the support of certain individuals and have begun to become arrogant. If we allow them to continue like this, they may pose a threat to our chamber of commerce."

Old Wang nodded in agreement:

"That's true. But the Ling family is one of the four great families after all, so suppressing them won't be easy."

"I know."

Kitahara Makoto said in a deep voice,

............ 0

"But I believe that as long as our chamber of commerce unites as one, we will definitely be able to find a suitable way to suppress the Ling family."

"So, how do you plan to suppress them?"

Brother Xin asked curiously.

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:

"I plan to start with the economic sector and cut off their funding chain. Then, I will use the connections of our chamber of commerce to suppress them in all aspects."

Old Wang and Brother Xin exchanged a glance, both seeing the approval in each other's eyes.

They knew that Kitahara was a man of both courage and wisdom, and that his plan, though risky, had the potential to succeed.

"Great!" Old Wang slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Then we will fully support you! I believe that under your leadership, our chamber of commerce will definitely be able to defeat the Ling family!" (Tu)

Chapter 495 Agreeing to Return to the Plan

Shin-chan also stood up and patted Kitahara Makoto on the shoulder:

"Yuanzhen, I believe in your abilities. I'm leaving this matter to you!"

Kitahara Shin stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them:

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Wang and Brother Xin! I will definitely not let you down!"

After chatting with Brother Xin and Old Wang about daily life in the conference room, Kitahara Makoto stood up, straightened his clothes, and wore a satisfied smile.

He said goodbye to the two of them, then walked steadily toward the elevator.

The elevator doors opened slowly, emitting a soft "ding" sound, as if welcoming his arrival.

Kitahara Makoto stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator interior was spacious and bright, and his determined gaze was reflected in the silver walls.

As the elevator slowly descended, Kitahara Makoto watched the scenery outside gradually change through the gap in the elevator doors.

The floor indicator lights went out one by one, as if recording his departure. The soft, warm light inside the elevator illuminated his composed face.

Finally, the elevator reached the first floor, and the doors slowly opened again. Kitahara Makoto stepped out of the elevator and into the spacious and bright lobby.

A reception desk stood in the center of the lobby, where several staff members were busy handling matters. He walked through the lobby toward the parking lot.

The parking lot was filled with all kinds of vehicles, and sunlight shone through the gaps in the roofs onto the ground, creating dappled light and shadow.

Kitahara Makoto found his car, opened the door, and got into the driver's seat. He started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Outside the car window, the city scenery constantly changed. Skyscrapers gleamed in the sunlight, traffic flowed like a river, and people busily moved through the streets.

Kitahara Makoto drove into the traffic and headed towards the company.

The music inside the car started playing softly, with a melodious and pleasant tune.

Kitahara Shin gently tapped his feet to the rhythm, a relaxed and cheerful expression on his face.

Kitahara Makoto drove his car through the busy streets and finally arrived at the company's parking lot.

He parked the car steadily, turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Sunlight shone on him, and he squinted slightly, adjusting his eyes to the sudden light.

As you enter the company building, a refreshing atmosphere greets you.

Kitahara straightened his tie and walked forward with his head held high.

Along the way, employees greeted him one after another, some smiling and nodding, others waving enthusiastically. He responded to each one with a friendly smile.

After passing through the spacious lobby, Kitahara Makoto arrived at the elevator. He pressed the elevator button and waited for it to arrive.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and he stepped inside, pressing the button for his office floor.

The elevator began to slowly ascend, and he stood inside, his gaze fixed firmly ahead.

The elevator doors opened again, and Kitahara Makoto stepped out and walked down the corridor toward his office.

He pushed open the door, went inside, and sat down at the desk. The desk was piled high with documents, which he flipped through one by one, searching for information related to the Ling family of 2.9.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, as if he were deep in thought. He picked up the phone and dialed a number:

"Li Hua, bring me a cup of coffee." After saying that, he hung up the phone and continued to bury himself in his work.

A moment later, Li Hua came in carrying coffee:

"Mr. Bei, your coffee."

Chapter 496 Dare to oppose me? You'll go bankrupt!

Kitahara Shin took the coffee from Li Hua's hand, his fingers gently touching the cup, feeling its slight warmth.

His brow relaxed slightly, as if the warmth from the cup of coffee had relieved the day's fatigue.

He took a sip of coffee, the rich aroma filling his mouth with a hint of sweetness.

He looked up, gave Li Hua a grateful smile, and said:

"Li Hua, thank you. This coffee is really refreshing and helps me regain some energy during my tiring work."

Li Hua stood in front of the desk, looking at Kitahara Makoto's satisfied expression, and smiled as well. He asked with concern:

"Mr. Bei, you've had a busy day, you must have a lot of work to do. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Kitahara Makoto put down his coffee cup, shook his head, and said:

"No, Li Hua. You've done a great job today."

"The Ling family's project is progressing smoothly, thanks to your meticulous follow-up. Now I need to focus on handling some important documents, so I won't trouble you any further."

Li Hua nodded, indicating his understanding. He said:

"Okay, Mr. Bei. Please call me anytime if you need anything. I'll be waiting outside."

Kitahara Makoto thanked Li Hua again.

Li Hua quietly left the office, the door closing slowly behind him with a soft "click".

Kitahara Makoto sat alone at his desk, the aroma of coffee wafting through the air, but his mind was no longer on that cup of coffee.
