In Seoul, South Korea, in the office of the branch president of the Karuizawa Group branch, Takashi Mizukawa sat down all day after receiving the notice from the group headquarters.

Even if the normal overtime hours are over, there is no intention of leaving. The cadres saw that the branch chief did not leave, how could they be embarrassed to take the first step?

When the members saw that the cadres did not leave one by one, they did not dare to go first. At this time, some well-informed people began to spread the word internally, and at the same time, they also got together privately in twos and threes to exchange ears.

For ordinary members, there is nothing to do with them. However, the cadres do not think so. In their minds, nine times out of ten it is a major personnel change.

Once Takashi Mizukawa is no longer the head of the Karuizawa Group's branch in Korea, who will be the new branch director in the future? Is it a promotion from their Karuizawa Group branch in Korea?

Or is it from the Japanese side? Or was it redeployed from somewhere else? In short, for the cadres, this is a big deal, after all, it is the so-called son of heaven and a courtier.

If the branch chief is really replaced, those who were previously subordinate to the Mizukawa faction will no longer be valued by the new branch chief.

The reason why they are so nervous is that this time period is not the time for the "feudal officials" to return to the headquarters of the Karuizawa Group in Japan to report on their work.

This sudden recall made Mizukawa Takashi's heart have no bottom at all. The official notice sent by the headquarters of the Karuizawa Group did not explain the reason in detail, but only set a time limit for him.

He thought about it all day. I started from my own work first, and I didn't find any mistakes and problems by myself.

During this period, Mizukawa Takashi also personally made several phone calls back to Japan to inquire, but not only did he get any useful information, but someone was more confused than him.

On the contrary, he didn't say this one thing, and the other party didn't know about it at all. I have no bottom in my heart more and more.

Mizukawa Makoto also noticed that his father didn't get off work at the same time, so he pushed the door directly and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you today?" ”

When Mizukawa Takashi saw his son coming in, he raised his hand and motioned for him to close the door. Makoto Mizukawa also did exactly that. He closed the door and walked over to his father.

Mizukawa Takashi wanted to hear his son's opinion, so he got straight to the point: "What does it mean that the headquarters suddenly urgently recruited me back?" ”

Makoto Mizukawa replied with a serious face, "Could it be about retirement?" By the end of this year, you'll be 60 years old.

It stands to reason that you can retire. The headquarters suddenly summoned you back, did they discuss with you in detail about this one matter? ”

Takashi Mizukawa didn't like to hear this, and he didn't accept the old saying: "The legal retirement age in Japan is 70 years old. I'm still early! Besides, my body is still fine!

I don't have my eyes, my ears don't back, and I don't lose a tooth. To be exact, I don't even have a single sign of loose teeth. ”

Makoto Mizukawa immediately cried and laughed: "Japan's current legal retirement age is indeed 70 years old, but it is not completely mandatory.

From 60 to 70 years old, that's resilient. When this person reaches the age of 60, the company can take the initiative to ask him to retire.

Besides, Dad, it's useless for you to talk to me about that. You'll have to talk to the head of the HR Headquarters at the headquarters, especially the chairman. ”

Mizukawa Gao Shiming knew that what his son said was reasonable, but he still couldn't accept the fact that he was old and about to retire.

He couldn't help but start reminiscing about the past: "The Karuizawa Group back then was not at all what it is today.

At that time, as soon as the old president died, the chairman returned from college and took over the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery, which was on the verge of closure. I was ......"

Makoto Mizukawa also interrupted: "Dad, what you said, I have heard calluses in my ears." I've heard you talk about it since I was a child. Over the past few decades, you have worked with the Chairman to create the Karuizawa Group we are today.

To be precise, you started at the Karuizawa Whisky Distillery, and witnessed step by step, step by step, step by step, how one of Japan's smallest whisky companies became the largest liquor group in the world today.

Not only that, but it has also spanned many fields, and it has become bigger and stronger. In fact, our overall overall strength is stronger than that of Samsung Group, which ranks first in South Korea. ”

Takashi Mizukawa proudly adds, "I didn't just witness it, I participated in it from start to finish. Each of you who is a secretary is aiming for Ryunosuke Oda, the head of the president's secretary's office.

Actually, what is he? At the time, he was just a hairy kid who had just graduated from university, and I had been working at Karuizawa Whisky Distillery for many years.

The old president at that time was still alive. Even when Ryunosuke Oda saw me, he had to politely call me a senior.

Not only him, but some time ago, the eldest prince inspected the Karuizawa Group's business in Asia in Seoul, South Korea. It's not that you haven't seen it with your own eyes, even the eldest prince has to call me Uncle Mizukawa. ”

Mizukawa Makoto also blurted out: "Dad, I know that you have worked hard, and I also know that you are awesome." Could it be that some villain is secretly doing some small thing? ”

As soon as Mizukawa Takashi heard this, he thought about it and said, "Minister of Administration Park Yilin, what do you think?" ”

Mizukawa Makoto originally said it casually, but he also felt that there was an eyebrow in it: "Dad, I'm just making a bold assumption."

If you do retire, then there is a real possibility that the position of branch chief of Karuizawa in Korea will fall to Park Ye-rim.

First, her relationship with the president is already an open secret. Second, her personal ability and qualifications are really a strong candidate for promotion to branch chief. ”

Mizukawa Takashi asked unhurriedly, "Do you also think she will be behind her back?" ”

Makoto Mizukawa also said truthfully: "Even if it's not 100% sure that she will be behind her back, this situation is quite favorable for her."

If Park Yilin takes your place, then I will take the initiative to submit an application to be transferred back to Japan to take up a post. Dad, what do you think of me and the eldest son? ”

Takashi Mizukawa did not rush to answer, but fell into a deep groan. He didn't think that if he really couldn't keep his position and retired, then he must protect his son's personal future.
