"Miribe-san, I guess you know what to say and what not to say."

A black suit, a pointerly tone, and a rotating family photo in your hand.

The bright sunlight was shining in front of his desk, and he was even within reach, but Yusuke Mikyoshi was like falling cold.

The light reflected by each rotation of the photograph swept across his face, causing his heart to beat a little faster.

He glanced at the expressionless staff in front of the desk again, and the shivering Takagi in the corner.

There was a dead silence in Yusuke Mitsube's eyes, and he lowered his head slightly, "Hai."

Receiving an affirmative answer, several staff members nodded, then got up and walked to the door, rushing out.

"President," Takagi's trembling voice came from the corner.

Yusuke Mikyoshi got up and looked around, taking a closer look at the office that he had been in for nearly ten years.

It's business as usual.

"Let's go" Yusuke Mitsugai buttoned up and straightened his tie, and then walked to the door with a nonchalant face.

Takagi hesitated for a while, and finally remembered the expressions of the staff just now, and still honestly followed the footsteps of the three sides.

In front of the gate of Aihua Co., Ltd.'s headquarters, Yusuke Mikami walked to the front of the line in a flash of lights.

"Red Bean Sini Marseille"

Brush, Aihua's movements are uniform, and they bend down and bow their heads in unison.

"Aihua's decision-making was all done by me, and I betrayed the trust of all the employees of the club and insisted on going my own way.

In the end, we are in today's predicament..."

Looking at the president of San, who has always been quite prestigious in front of him, he is humble and pleading at the moment.

Takagi felt a chill in his heart, presumably there would never be a place for himself here in the future.

In the confusion, Takagi didn't know how he stepped down and how he survived this day.

With an open neckline and messy hair, Takagi didn't have the heart to clean them up anymore.

Coming out of the office, he walked to the vending machine at the corner of the roadside as usual and stuffed coins into it.

"Bang Dang"

Unscrewing the bottle, Takagi raised the beer in his hand and poured it up.

His face was flickering in the neon lights of the night, and the sound of passing cars on the side of the road was approaching quickly and fleetingly.

Takagi sighed slightly, where else could he go except Aihua.

Tomorrow's newspapers will probably have their own place, and there may be no place for Tokyo anymore.

If you can't do it, go back to your hometown in Hokkaido to grow potatoes, although the weather is colder, although there is more work on the farm and ranch.

But it is always the place where he was born and raised, and the snow on Mt. Yotei must not have melted, and the water in Lake Toya must still be blue and thick.

Takagi, who still had all the things in his mind, had just put down the bottle when he was startled by the scene in front of him.

"You... Be... Is it the wrong person? ”

"Takagi-san, right, contemptible Ota. I want to bother a few words, I wonder if Takagi-san is convenient? ”

Takagi wanted to say that it was inconvenient, but there were shadows in the dark alleyway, and he didn't know how many people were hiding.

So holding back the fear in his heart, Takagi nodded tremblingly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just an honest and responsible clerk, and I'm a great good citizen."

"Don't worry," Ota smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "just to talk about things at work, don't be so nervous."

I believe you are a ghost, Takagi, whose legs were a little weak, was half-strung and disappeared at the entrance of the alley by two tall figures, one left and one right.

…

Shortly after the tripartite talks between Shirakawa, Sony, and Aihua, Yusuke Mihebe, President Aiwahara, led all the senior management of the company to publicly apologize in front of many media.

Yusuke Miabe alone accepted all responsibility and resigned as president on the same day.

The new president will be succeeded by Heitaro Nakajima, director of Sony's original audio research institute, who announced at a press conference that he will take over as president Aika.

Shirakawa Electric and Sony also issued announcements one after another, unanimously expressing their willingness to make their own contributions to the progress of the industry.

At the same time, in order to be able to better communicate with the industry, Shirakawa Electric and Sony announced that they will organize delegations to visit each other in April every year.

In addition, a small product exhibition will be held so that people from both sides can experience each other's products to further strengthen mutual exchanges and communication.

At this point, the "Walkman plagiarism incident" came to an end, and finally Shirakawa Electric and Aihua Co., Ltd. reached an out-of-court settlement.

Aihua Co., Ltd. publicly apologized for the incident and compensated Shirakawa Electric 500 million yen to compensate for its losses.

The hot event that caused a lot of turmoil finally slowly fell silent.

And Shirakawa Kaede, who has been spinning for more than half a year, finally put aside the affairs of the club today and traveled lightly.

Naturally, along with him, there is also our energetic Asuka-chan.

"Tsk, Xiaolin-san looks young and invincible."

Shirakawa Kaede, who is used to seeing her professional clothes, was really amazed when she saw Asuka Kobayashi in regular clothes at first glance.

The white light women's shirt with a light green bow at the neckline looks fashionable and with some agility and playfulness.

As for the lower body, a short mint-colored skirt was lightly tied around the slender waist. The warm wind blew, and a touch of white tenderness swept in front of him and flew to the tip of his heart.

Ahem, the white one made Shirakawa Kaede feel a little dazzled.

"Shirakawa-kun, are you ready?" Asuka Kobayashi pinned her hands behind her back, swaying and smiling.

"Hai" Shirakawa Kaede today is also wearing a regular uniform, and the suit that was often worn on his body at that time was replaced by a light-colored shirt.

The lower body is the same plain slacks, and white eye-catching little white shoes.

Today, the two of them really look like college students.

One is beautiful and the other is handsome.

But don't get me wrong, they're not going to travel together, they're going to meet some fat classmate.

It was said that I should have gone to the appointment at the beginning of the month, but because of Aihua's matter. I stumbled until today to make time.

The two of them got on the subway station, but arrived at the agreed place in 20 minutes, Ikebukuro Station.

Coming out of the east exit, Shirakawa Kaede didn't have time to appreciate the prosperity of this place when he was attracted by a fat man beckoning not far away.

"Shirakawa-kun, here!" Satoshi Iwata, who was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, stretched out his fleshy arm and greeted him vigorously.

"Iwata-kun, arrived so early?" Shirakawa Kaede walked over with a smile on Asuka Kobayashi.

"Uh" Seeing Asuka Kobayashi beside Shirakawa, the smile on Satoshi Iwata's face slowly solidified.

He glanced at the empty position beside him, and then at Shirakawa Kaede in pairs, and silently put away his smile.

Why did Shirakawa-kun bring his girlfriend over, isn't the computer the final destination of boys?

Satoshi Iwata feels that Kaede Shirakawa has not yet found the true meaning of life, and this is by no means because he is a single dog.

"I've just arrived, so let's go." Satoshi Iwata said hello to Asuka Kobayashi again, and then turned around and led the way towards the department store not far away.

Last time at Tokyo Institute of Technology, he and Asuka Kobayashi also met, so he didn't feel too rusty.

Seibu Department Store can be said to be the base of Satoshi Iwata's computer learning.

From a distance, it doesn't look very imposing, a long row of buildings, about ten stories high.

On the roof of the building is a sign with white letters on a blue background, "SEIBU".

This is their destination today, and under the leadership of Satoshi Iwata, Kaede Shirakawa and Asuka Kobayashi also go straight to the digital product area upstairs.

Unlike the dazzling digital products of later generations, the counter area where electronic products were sold at this time was relatively less fancy.

Most of them are common electronic products such as digital cameras, cassette recorders, record players, walkmans, calculators, and electronic watches.

In the PC computer sales area, it is much more lively, and several young figures are discussing something with great interest.

"Tanimura-kun" greeted Satoshi Iwata warmly, he often came here and was familiar with the clerks here.

"It turned out to be Iwata-kun," a young man in his twenties behind the counter looked up, and when he saw that it was Iwata Satoshi, he smiled and said hello.

"Let me introduce you," Satoshi Iwata pulled Shirakawa Kaede beside him, "This is Shirakawa Kaede-san, a student at Meiji University, and a master of games."

And he is very proficient in computers, so I brought him over today to get to know you. ”

"Shirakawa Kaede, please take care of me." Shirakawa Feng greeted this group of young people very generously.

In fact, he is a young man, but he himself seems to be the youngest.

Except for two students who looked like they had just graduated from high school, the others in the crowd were all young people in their twenties, and Shirakawa Kaede was the youngest.

However, everyone's focus is not on Shirakawa Kaede, and their eyes frequently fall on Kobayashi Asuka beside Shirakawa Kaede.

It's true that this group of otaku loves computers, but who still plays with computers if they have girlfriends.

With Kobayashi's appearance, it's a kill.

Asuka Kobayashi, who noticed all this, quietly approached Shirakawa Kaede a few steps closer.

Later, in the heartbroken eyes of this group of technical otaku, he took the initiative to stretch out his white hand and sent it into Shirakawa Kaede's left hand.

Well? Kaede Shirakawa is a clever man.

"Borrow Shirakawa-kun's left hand." Asuka Kobayashi's inaudible voice rang in her ears.

Shirakawa Kaede slowly relaxed her body, then tightened her fingers and held her soft and warm palm.

Alas~ The technophiles who watched here sighed deeply in their hearts.

Is appearance really that important?

But now that the famous flowers have masters, they no longer look at Kobayashi left and right rudely.

Satoshi Iwata also withdrew his envious gaze, and at the same time quietly asked himself in the bottom of his heart.

Girlfriend and computer, can you have both?

While Satoshi Iwata was still making up some indescribable things in his head, the clerk named Tanimura behind the counter became interested in Shirakawa Kaede.

"Shirakawa-kun is also good at computers?" Tanimura looked at Shirakawa Kaede curiously, a student at Meiji University, who must be very powerful.

"I understand a little, but I'm not good at it, I like it more." He knows how many pounds and taels Bai Chuan Feng knows, as for bragging, this kind of thing is completely unnecessary for him.

"I see" Tanimura retracted his gaze, his interest returning to Satoshi Iwata.

"Iwata-kun, have you considered trying a part-time job? Computer programming. Although Tanimura works as a salesperson at Seibu Department Store, he also works part-time.

As soon as he heard about computer programming, Satoshi Iwata was instantly interested. "Part-time?" He looked at Tanimura with burning eyes.

"That's right, a newly established studio. Of course, it is still in the trial operation stage, so if Iwata-kun is interested, you may wish to take a look together. ”

Saying that, Tanimura glanced at Shirakawa Kaede again, "Of course, if Shirakawa-kun is interested, you can also join us." ”

Satoshi Iwata blinked at Kaede Shirakawa, and almost engraved the words "want to go" on his face.

"Okay" Seeing his appearance, Shirakawa Kaede also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Great, let's go now." Saying that, Satoshi Iwata couldn't wait to leave.

Thank you all for your support!
