Chapter 414: Slap in the face

The president of Universal Music, Kenji Kitano, has been annoying lately.

He felt that if the director of the global Hexi was his destined nobleman, then that kid Kiyoshi Sakamoto was simply his nemesis.

Director Kasai was the one who elected him to be the president of Universal, and stood behind him to support him.

However, the director of Hexi, who was so optimistic about him, just now, reprimanded himself fiercely, and even slapped him a few times.

Now on his face, he can still feel the hot pain.

Kenji Kitano knew that the left side of his face must be flushed.

In order not to be seen by the company, he had just left the office of the director of Kasai with his front foot, and immediately went into the bathroom with his back foot, waiting for the red marks on his face to disappear before returning to his president's office with heavy steps.

Sitting in the office chair, he stared blankly at the president's table cards on the table, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Global Representative Director, Kenji Kitano. ”

Although his name is printed on it, and he looks very imposing, Kenji Kitano's mood at this time is very different from the ambition and high spirits when he first took office last year...

When he first took office, he was supported by most of the directors of Universal, and he secretly set a goal in his heart, that is, to lead Universal Music to become the No. 1 record company in Japan!

At that time, he was a new official with three fires, and in the world, he would purge whoever he wanted to clean, and whoever dared to beep.

At Universal, he has the final say!

However, in less than a year, he became the target of ridicule at Universal Music.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that he was gradually losing the trust of the directors of Hexi...

Recalling the shameful scene just now, he had to grit his teeth.

。。。。。。

Half an hour ago.

Office of the Executive Director.

"Kawasai-san, are you looking for me?"

Kenji Kitano, who stood respectfully at his desk, did not look at all like the usual radiant president of Universal, but like a student who was ready to be reprimanded.

That's right, this time he was called by the supporters behind his back, and Kenji Kitano was also ready to be reprimanded.

Kenji Kitano, who had somewhat guessed his current situation, stared at the ground with a little apprehension, not daring to look at it level.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with his hands crossed in front of him, stood up straight, his head bowed, and his lips pursed tightly, as if waiting for the next punishment.

After a long time, the old man sitting in the office chair spoke up.

A gloomy voice with an irresistible domineering voice suddenly appeared in the office.

"Kitano, how long have you been under me?"

Hearing this question, Kenji Kitano's body shook involuntarily.

“。。。 It's been eleven years. ”

The tone of the answer gives people the feeling of wanting to say something.

"Oh, it's been eleven years... The old man's voice seemed to be recalling the past, but Kenji Kitano knew that this noble man of his own was not the kind of person who recalled the past...

The most important thing is that the next sentence made Kenji Kitano frightened in his heart.

"Raise your head!"

The undoubted tone made Kenji Kitano slowly raise his head.

I saw an old man of about sixty years of age, with gray hair, sitting in a chair behind his desk, staring at him with a pair of cloudy eyes like a falcon, as if he were a prey to be targeted.

This made Kenji Kitano involuntarily look away, and met his gaze.

"Do you know why I elected you to this position?" the old man's words made Kitano's brain start to work at high speed.

However, before he could answer, the old man continued.

"Because I'm optimistic about your earning power, and your cool judgment!"

"Yet, you have let me down ... ”

Syllable!

The old man picked up a stack of papers on the table and slammed it into Kenji Kitano's chest.

The document only briefly made contact with the body for a few tenths of a second before falling to the ground, scattered in all directions.

And the person who was smashed was motionless.

It's not that I don't want to move, but I don't dare to move.

"Look at what you've done in the past year?!!

The old man, who was still sitting on the chair, also stood up suddenly, pointed to the stack of papers on the ground, and said in a gloomy tone.

Kenji Kitano, who was reprimanded, turned his gaze to the documents on the ground.

He saw that on several of the documents, there were words such as "Global Quarterly Financial Report" and "Global Quarterly Stock Price Report".

He understood.

Such a scene will come sooner or later.

From the moment he learned that Masaharu Fukuyama proposed to terminate the contract and switch to Sony, he foresaw this scene.

It's just that he didn't expect it to come so quickly...

The old man continued.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

"You have made Kiyoshi Sakamoto the object of dismounting, which is understandable. After all, as competitors, we can't let Sony continue to hold us down... ”

"However, you should not be blindly confident and attack rashly without knowing the details of the enemy!"

"Where did you go with your calm?!"

"After you took office, all I saw was a villain who was annoyed and shouted for revenge, instead of calmly analyzing and then finding out the true details of the enemy, and then taking action!!" the old man shook his head in disappointment as he gently swept his fingers over the smooth tabletop.

"You are indeed much worse than Yamazaki in terms of forbearance... ”

"Kawasai-san, I... ”

Syllable!

Before he could finish speaking, Kenji Kitano felt that he was slapped hard in the face.

Burning!

Then came the pain.

However, Kenji Kitano still didn't dare to move.

"Sakamoto Kiyoshi's matter, I won't talk about it, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you can't compare with others in sales, you can find a place elsewhere. ”

"But you've let me down again ... ”

Syllable!

Once again, a slap mark was left on Kenji Kitano's face, but the old man's tone became more and more gloomy, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"You found someone to smear that kid in the media, and you didn't know how to find some middlemen, so you actually let your subordinates come forward?!!"

"Are you stupid ?!!?"

Syllable!

Another slap in the face.

This time, it's the same face.

God says that if a man hits you on the right cheek, then please stretch out your left cheek and let him keep hitting.

However, Kenji Kitano did not dare to do this at this time.

He could only silently endure the pain and numbness on his face, and continued to accept the reprimand.

"Do you know how important Masaharu Fukuyama is to our company?!?!!" The old man grabbed Kenji Kitano's collar and brought the old face that had become ruddy from anger closer to Kenji Kitano, and said viciously.

"You actually gave away the important assets of the company, and the other party is still our competitor?!!"

"How do you take charge of ?!!?"

With a loud roar and a sharp push, Kenji Kitano was pushed away by the old man for some distance.

At this time, Kitano Kenji knew that if he continued to be silent, it would only make the old man even more angry, so as soon as he loosened his legs, he knelt directly on the ground.

"I'm so sorry!"

A standard earthen seat, the effect is really obvious.

After all, Kenji Kitano, who is now the president of Universal, still sits down to himself, which proves that he still regards himself as the boss.

This made the old man's desire to come out from behind the desk and give Kenji Kitano a men's single, but it also lightened a little.

"Hmph, the board of directors is very dissatisfied with your decision-making mistake this time, if you can't do something to save the trust of the board of directors, even I can't protect you, you know?!"

"Yes!"

Kenji Kitano, who knelt on the ground and put his forehead on the ground, had a very hideous expression.

However, in his heart at this time, the person who resented him was not the old man in front of him, but the person who caused all this to happen.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto!

"Abominable !!"

This is the scene that made Kenji Kitano return to his president's office.,Still feel humiliated.。。。

The thought drifted back again, and Kenji Kitano cheered up, "No, I have to do something, otherwise, if it goes on like this, my position... ”

He knew that even after being impeached and removed from office, his predecessor, Ichiro Yamazaki, still owned a portion of Universal Music's shares, as well as supporters.

At this time, Ichiro Yamazaki is like a lion hidden in the grass, always behind him, waiting for the opportunity to return to the world.

So, he can't just go down like that!

Determined, he reached out and pressed the phone on the desktop.

He's going to let his henchmen come in.,Let's discuss together.,How to redeem it.,Recently, because of the failure to block Sakamoto Kiyoshi.,And Masaharu Fukuyama switched to Sony.,Bad image.。。。

Before he could press the phone, there was a knock on the office door.

This paused his movements.

"Come in!"

The one who pushed the door in was none other than his henchman, the artist director, Kamikawa.

This buddy is also the person who proposed to block Kiyoshi Sakamoto last time.

The idea was good, but the enemy was only to blame for being too strong, so even if he failed, Kenji Kitano did not fire this subordinate.

Moreover, after Masaharu Fukuyama's switch, there is only one henchman left who can be trusted by his subordinates...

So, after seeing Kamikawa walk in, Kenji Kitano immediately put on a smiling face, "What's wrong?"

Although he was a little inexplicable about his boss's sudden smile, Kamikawa still came to the desk with trepidation and stood still.

"President, there's a piece of news, I think, I should come and report it to you... ”

"Oh, what's the news?" Although it could be seen from Uekawa's hesitant expression that this news should not be good news, Kitano Kenji still maintained a calm demeanor in front of his subordinates.

However, this news directly made him not calm.

"Masaharu Fukuyama and Kiyoshi Sakamoto form a limited group and prepare to release a collaborative single... ”
