Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Looking at you, could it be that your application did not go well this time?"

After Tatsuya Furuhashi finished his interview with Lin Daoqiu, he went out for a drink at the invitation of a long-time friend, Satoshi Iwami.

During the dinner, Ishimi Satoshi noticed that Furuhashi Tatsuya's mood didn't seem to be high. He could tell at a glance that there must be something unhappy in his heart.

"How did you tell?"

Furukashi Tatsu didn't expect that the other party could actually see his depression. He originally thought that he concealed it well.

Hearing the other party's question, Iwami Rixian smiled and said.

"Looking at the depressed look on your face, I know that you must be in a bad mood. Thinking of the recent job applications you have been applying for, it is very likely that the reason for your bad mood is that you did not apply for the job..."

"But with your talent, it shouldn't be difficult to apply for a position at Readers Times. Is it possible that their requirements are so high?"

When Satoshi Iwami thought of this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, because in his opinion, Tatsuya Furuhashi was more than enough to be a newspaper manager no matter how much he did. Could it be that he did not comply with the requirements of "Readers Times"

To raise it so high? This was really beyond his expectation.

You must know that as the director of the external relations department of "The Yomiuri Shimbun", Satoshi Iwami has been in the newspaper industry for twenty years, and the requirements of "Reader's Times" have far exceeded his expectations.

"It's not that I didn't get the job, hey... I won't talk about it anymore."

Furuhashi Tatsuya originally wanted to say it out, but he suddenly swallowed it back when it reached his lips.

After all, this matter has not been settled yet, and Lin Daoqiu is still waiting for his reply, so it is not easy to disclose this kind of thing to outsiders.

As soon as Satoshi Iwami looked at Tatsuya Furuhashi, he knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he would not tell him anything, so he did not continue to ask questions, but kept trying to persuade him to drink.

"Since you don't want to talk about work, then don't talk about it. Come on, have a few more drinks. You must have been working hard to write planning books and reports during this period. Just relax today."

Upon hearing this, Furuhashi Tatsuya felt that Iwami Satoshi had said a lot, so he drank one cup after another, a total of five glasses of beer, and even went to the bathroom several times.

By the time the waiter served the sixth glass of beer, Furuhashi Tatsuya already looked a little drunk.

"Speaking of which, if my family hadn't all been in Osaka, I would have really wanted to jump to Readers Times. After all, this is a foreign company, and it offers high wages and good benefits that no one else would envy."

Satoshi Iwami pretended to be talking about his own thoughts, but in fact he was trying to find ways to get Tatsuya Furuhashi out of his mouth. After all, he came to see Tatsuya Furuhashi today for other purposes.

Furuhashi Tatsuya didn't know it was a scam, and because he drank a lot and the other party had been friends with him for many years, his inner defenses were gradually removed.

"You are right. The salary and benefits they provide are indeed good, but what I want is the position of editor-in-chief. Unfortunately, Mr. Lin doesn't like me and thinks that what I write is not good enough..."

"But the problem is that Neon newspapers now focus on reporting on life and entertainment. Not many people pay attention to political and economic news. My direction is not wrong."

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Furuhashi Tatsuya started talking and started complaining to Iwami Satoshi.

Although he didn't dare to express too much in front of Lin Daoqiu, but because of drinking, he couldn't help but start to complain a little about Lin Daoqiu.

"Who says it isn't? Today's news is mainly focused on entertainment and the daily life of the general public. If we continue to deal with politics and economics, not only will fewer people pay attention to it, it will also be difficult to compete with other large newspapers."

Satoshi Iwami continued following Tatsuya Furuhashi's words, and it seemed that he also agreed with what he meant.

The two of them talked like this all night about issues related to the "Reader's Times". In the end, Furuhashi Tatsuya was completely drunk, and Satoshi Iwami personally sent him home.

After leaving Tatsuya Furuhashi's home, Satoshi Iwami took out his cell phone and made a call.

"I have been chatting with Tatsuya Furuhashi all night. He failed to apply for the editor-in-chief of "Reader Times", but Lin Daoqiu gave him the position of deputy editor and is waiting for his answer..."

"Persuade him to accept? Well...I know, I will try to persuade him, but I think the possibility of him accepting the conditions we offer is very low."

After talking on the phone for more than ten minutes, Riko Iwami hung up the phone.

Iwami Satoshi was very troubled by what the people above told him. If this matter could be done, it would certainly be of great benefit to him, but judging from his understanding of Furuhashi Tatsuya, the other party might not be willing.

Agree to his request, after all, he is a deadbeat.

When Tatsuya Furuhashi got up the next day, he asked his wife and found out that he was drunk last night and it was Iwami Satoken who sent him back.

"Drinking will cause trouble. It's better to drink less in the future."

Shaking his head, Furuhashi Tatsuya planned to carefully sort out the planning books and reports he had written before after washing up to see if there was anything that could be improved.

But not long after, Riko Iwami suddenly called him and asked him to meet.

"You want to treat me to dinner? Didn't you have a drink last night?"

Furuhashi Tatsuya felt very strange. The two of them had just met last night and had been drinking all night. Why would Iwami Satoshi invite him to dinner again today? Isn't this too strange?

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is not that close. They only occasionally have meals together, but apart from work, they have never had such continuous gatherings before.

"You want to talk to me about something? Okay, tell me a place and I'll go there now."

Furukashi Tatsuya didn't continue to ask any more questions. Since the other party was so insistent, he had no choice but to agree.

After asking about the location, Furuhashi Tatsuya changed his clothes and hurried over.

When Tatsuya Furuhashi arrived at the place he had made an appointment with, as soon as he entered the door, he saw someone inside besides Satoshi Iwami who shocked him.

"Hello Mr. Furuhiao, we met a few years ago. You must have not forgotten me."

When he saw the other party, Furuhashi Tatsuya's eyes widened immediately, because he never thought that this big shot would come to see him. Now he had no other thoughts except shock.

"Hello, Mr. Fujiyama, my name is Tatsuya Furuhashi."

Furuhashi Tatsuya didn't know what to do for a moment. He turned to look at Ishimi Satoken, hoping that he could help him figure out why Fujiyama Toshio would appear here. This was so unexpected to him.

Unexpected.
