Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Li Hua nodded, and was about to turn and leave, but then seemed to remember something, stopped and added:

"In addition, the financing arrangements with the bank have been preliminarily agreed upon; they have agreed to provide the necessary financial support. However, the specific details will require your personal review." (Shen)

Chapter 503 You're threatening me, bro?

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto smiled with relief.

“Very good, Li Hua. You are very efficient. After I finish reviewing these documents, I will go with you to the bank to follow up.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hua's face broke into a bright smile, as if he had received the greatest affirmation.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Bei. I will continue to work hard." After saying that, she gently closed the door and left the office.

After Li Hua left the office, Kitahara Makoto sat alone behind the large desk, his hands gently folded together.

He stared intently ahead, seemingly contemplating how to better address the challenges currently facing the company.

The office was quiet, broken only by the occasional sound of traffic outside the window.

Just then, the phone on the table rang, breaking the silence in the room.

Kitahara Makoto quickly snapped out of his daze, reached out and answered the phone. A familiar yet slightly provocative voice came from the other end—Ling Langtian.

"Hey, Mr. Bei, you're free to take the phone so early? I've heard you've been making some big moves lately, acquiring quite a few companies. Be careful not to overeat."

Ling Langtian's voice was full of sarcasm, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with Kitahara Makoto's recent acquisitions.

Kitahara Makoto's lips curled into a faint smile, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"President Ling, you are mistaken. The market is a process of survival of the fittest. Our Beishi Group is simply adapting to the times and making some necessary arrangements."

"As for the Ling family, although they have acquired many companies over the years, they do not seem to have made any waves in the market."

"On the contrary, it makes people worry about whether the Ling family's cash flow can support these huge industries."

Kitahara's counterattack was equally sharp, directly pointing out the potential problems within the Ling family.

Ling Langtian's tone immediately turned gloomy.

"Kitahara Shin, stop making sarcastic remarks. It's none of your business how the Ling family behaves."

"I'm just warning you, don't be too greedy, or you'll end up getting yourself caught up in the end."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto not only did not back down, but smiled even more calmly.

"Ling Langtian, you are wrong. I, Bei Yuanzhen, have always acted with integrity and a clear conscience. As for whether the Ling family can continue to operate, that depends on your own abilities."

"However, if you really feel it's necessary to use threats to solve the problem, then I, Kitahara Shin, will go all the way."

"Bring it on, I want to see just how many trump cards the Ling family has up their sleeve."

On the other end of the phone, Ling Langtian's breathing became noticeably heavier, clearly angered by Kitahara Makoto's attitude.

"Kitahara Shin, don't be so arrogant! Don't think that your Kita Group can control everything. Our Ling family isn't to be trifled with either. You just wait and see!"

After saying that, Ling Langtian angrily hung up the phone.

Kitahara Shin put down the phone, a faint smile still lingering on his lips.

He knew all too well that the business world was like a battlefield, and competition and conflict were inevitable.

But he believes even more that as long as he maintains a clear mind and firm conviction, nothing can stop him from moving forward.

He gently rubbed his temples, pulling his thoughts back from the conversation he had just had.

Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath and threw himself back into his work as his gaze fell once more on the documents on the table.

He knew that more challenges awaited him, but he was prepared to embrace every unknown possibility.

Chapter 504 North: Ruyu, let's have dinner together later.

Kitahara Makoto continued to bury himself in the mountain of documents, time seemingly slipping away quietly under his focused gaze.

A sudden wave of hunger interrupted his thoughts. He looked up at the wall clock and was surprised to find that the hour hand had quietly pointed to a little past two in the afternoon.

He rubbed his slightly sore neck and smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that he had been working for so long without even realizing it.

Realizing it was time to replenish his energy, Kitahara Makoto decided to temporarily put aside his work and head to a restaurant for a belated lunch.

However, the moment he picked up his phone to browse the food delivery options, a thought flashed through his mind—why not take this opportunity to get together with friends in the industry?

So he quickly searched through his contacts and finally decided to invite Liu Ruyu, the CEO of Dingfeng Technology, to lunch.

The moment the call connected, Kitahara Makoto's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, his voice carrying a hint of warmth and anticipation:

"Ruyu, are you free to have lunch together? I happen to have some work-related matters I'd like to discuss with you."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Ruyu seemed somewhat surprised, but then her gentle and cheerful voice came through:

"Kitahara Makoto? Of course, no problem. It's a rare opportunity to have dinner with you. Should you choose the place—or should I?"

"How about this?"

Kitahara Makoto suggested,

"I'll drive to Peak Technology Company to pick you up later, and we'll go out and find something good to eat, okay?"

"good idea!"

Liu Ruyu readily agreed.

"Then I'll wait for you. Be careful on your way."

After hanging up the phone, Kitahara Makoto felt a sense of relief and anticipation.

He stood up, took his coat off the hanger, shook it lightly, and then draped it over his shoulders.

Before leaving, he glanced back at his office, where he had been busy all morning, and a strange sense of accomplishment welled up inside him.

He walked out of the office and took the elevator directly to the lobby on the first floor.

People came and went in the lobby, but Kitahara Makoto walked steadily toward the parking lot with a clear goal in mind.

Sunlight streamed through the glass roof, bathing him in a golden glow.

He opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the engine, and as the car slowly drove out of the parking lot, his mood became even more relaxed.

Along the way, Kitahara Makoto drove his car through the city streets, enjoying the city's prosperity and beauty.

·····Requesting flowers··········

Skyscrapers are springing up like mushrooms after rain, their glass curtain walls gleaming brightly in the sunlight, showcasing the vitality and charm of the modern metropolis.

Soon after, he arrived at the location of Peak Technology Company.

This is a modern company located in the city's CBD area. Its office building has a unique design, with a simple yet technologically advanced appearance.

Kitahara Shin parked the car, got out, and looked up at the building, secretly admiring it.

As he entered the building, the receptionist at the front desk smiled and nodded at him.

After responding politely, he took the elevator directly to Liu Ruyu's floor. Stepping out of the elevator, he followed the route he remembered to Liu Ruyu's office.

Knocking on the office door, I was greeted by Liu Ruyu's familiar and elegant figure.

She was standing by the window, holding a document in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were thinking about something.

Hearing the knock, she turned around and saw Kitahara Makoto, her face immediately breaking into a bright smile.

"Kitahara Makoto, you've come!"

As she spoke, she put down the documents in her hand and walked quickly towards him.

"Have you been waiting long?" Tu.

Chapter 505 Watching beautiful women eat is such a wonderful thing!

"No, I just arrived."

Kitahara Makoto responded with a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness and appreciation.

"You still look so busy."

"Yes, there are some things that need to be taken care of at the company recently."

Liu Ruyu sighed softly, but then smiled again.

"However, being able to have a meal with you is a small pleasure amidst my busy schedule."

Kitahara Makoto and Liu Ruyu walked out of the "677" building of Peak Technology side by side. The afternoon sun shone on them, adding a touch of warmth to this unexpected lunch time.

Liu Ruyu gently smoothed her wind-blown hair, looking at Kitahara Shin with a hint of curiosity in her eyes:

"Why did you suddenly decide to invite me to lunch? Is there some special reason?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's lips curled into a sly smile. He deliberately slowed his pace, walking alongside Liu Ruyu, his eyes gleaming with a teasing light.

"Of course, it's because enjoying delicious food while looking at beautiful women is such a wonderful thing."

"Besides, we are usually too busy, and it is rare to have the opportunity to get together so easily."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She spat lightly, but her eyes were full of arrogance.

"Hmph, what if I don't agree? Are you just planning to go alone?"

Kitahara Makoto stopped, turned around, and looked at Liu Ruyu with an almost serious expression, saying exaggeratedly:

"How could that be? You're the most beautiful sight in my heart. With you here, even the most delicious food pales in comparison. Besides, I'm so handsome, how could you bear to reject me?"

Liu Ruyu chuckled at his words, her smile blooming like a flower, breathtakingly beautiful. She lightly punched Kitahara Shin, feigning anger, and said:

"Narcissist! But since you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly agree."

The two exchanged a smile and continued walking. A short while later, they arrived at Kitahara Makoto's car.

Kitahara Shin gentlemanly opened the passenger door for Liu Ruyu, and only after she was seated did he walk around to the other side to get in the car.

As the engine roared, the vehicle slowly drove away from the parking lot and weaved through the city streets.

Inside the car, Kitahara Makoto chatted with Liu Ruyu while driving.

"By the way, what should we eat?"

Liu Ruyu turned her head to look at Beiyuan Zhen, her eyes sparkling with anticipation...

Kitahara Makoto thought for a moment and then suggested:

"I heard there's a new Japanese restaurant that just opened on North Street, and the reviews are really good. Shall we go try it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyu's eyes lit up:

"Japanese food? That sounds great! I've always loved sushi and sashimi, so it's settled then."

Kitahara Makoto smiled and nodded, then sped up and drove towards North Street.

Inside the car, the two chattered back and forth, sometimes laughing, sometimes serious, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

As the vehicle moved, the city scenery outside the window constantly changed.

Skyscrapers gradually recede into the distance, replaced by alleyways and shops brimming with life.

Kitahara Makoto drove through these alleys, searching for the legendary Japanese restaurant.

Finally, Kitahara Makoto stopped his car in front of an elegantly decorated and cozy shop.

After getting out of the car, he walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for Liu Ruyu. The two of them walked into the Japanese restaurant they had been looking forward to, ready to begin their lunch.

Chapter 506 Could it be... that he's trying to seduce me?

When Kitahara Makoto and Liu Ruyu stepped into the Japanese restaurant side by side, a warm and elegant atmosphere instantly enveloped them.

Outside the shop, several elegant paper lanterns hang, swaying gently in the wind, as if whispering a welcome.

The wooden door opened slowly, accompanied by a slight creak.

A fragrant aroma, a blend of woody scents and the sweet taste of seafood, wafts over, prompting one to take a deep breath and feel refreshed.

The store's layout is well-organized, and every detail reveals the craftsman's dedication.

The natural wood flooring complements the walls perfectly, creating a rustic yet warm atmosphere. Several paper lanterns on the ceiling emit a soft, warm glow.

Sprinkled on the off-white tablecloth, it creates a tranquil and comfortable dining environment.

Several paintings depicting Japanese scenery hang on the surrounding walls, showing both the magnificence of Mount Fuji and the gentle beauty of cherry blossoms, making one feel as if they are in a foreign land.

The restaurant features several low wooden tables, each equipped with comfortable cushions, allowing diners to enjoy their meals in a more relaxed manner.
