Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

Chapter 767: Dimensionality Reduction Strike

 Specialist Watanabe didn’t waste any words when he came up, and directly asked about the thing he was most concerned about—

“Richard, are you ready for the game demo? Today’s meeting is very important, remember not to make any mistakes.”

Matsumoto Jun originally wanted to say a few words, but after hearing this, he immediately swallowed back the polite words on his lips and made a promise with a serious face.

“Don’t worry, leader, we have checked everything before coming here to ensure there will be no problems!”

Shimamura and others also nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with this statement.

Specialist Watanabe saw that they all showed confidence, and then he relaxed a little and encouraged everyone:

“That’s good, let’s all work hard. The group is currently vigorously supporting the mobile game business. There are many opportunities here, but anyone who performs well can come forward. Remember to seize this opportunity.”

After speaking, he turned his head and told Matsumoto Jun in a warm tone:

"Especially you Richard, I just talked to other leaders about your previous works. You should make achievements early and strive to make a work better than "Wrath of Bahamut" and become the next gold medal game designer. .”

Matsumoto Jun nodded solemnly, "I understand the leader, in short, everything depends on you!"

“Okay, everyone is our own people, don’t be so arrogant.” Special Agent Watanabe patted his shoulder pleasantly.

“That’s it for now, Richard. I have to go to the front to greet the leaders. After the meeting, we brothers will find a place to have a drink.”

Matsumoto Jun nodded overjoyed and hurriedly agreed, "That's great, I will follow the leadership's arrangements—!"

 Commissioner Watanabe laughed, and then strode towards the front row of the conference hall.

As soon as the other person stepped forward, Shimamura immediately stepped forward with his hind legs.

“Boss, when did you get on such good terms with Commissioner Watanabe? He actually wants to ask you to have a drink with you. He must be thinking too highly of you!”

Matsumoto Jun straightened his face, waved his hands and sat down, "Don't talk nonsense, the leader just asked me to have a drink because he was in a good mood. How can I not take it seriously?"

Shimamura still refused to give up, "No! But Commissioner Watanabe just called you brother! Doesn't this count as taking you seriously???"

Matsumoto Jun smiled slightly and did not respond to this question, but said calmly:

“Okay, don’t talk about these useless things. Didn’t you hear the leader’s instructions just now? Check the game bugs again quickly, don’t wait for anything unexpected to happen after I take the stage.”

"Huh? We still need to check?? Didn't we check several times before we came here??" Shimamura couldn't help but vomited bitterly, and then Matsumoto Jun glared at him.

“Hmph! So what if you’ve already checked it? Can’t you just go through it again quickly? Just check it if you’re asked to do it. Why are there so many things? Hurry and do it—!”

"Well…"

Shimamura touched his nose in embarrassment and thought to himself that he was not a programmer. What's the use of telling me this? However, he did not dare to contradict his boss face to face, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.

“Yes, yes, boss, you are right. Such an important occasion does require special treatment. I’m going to check it now!”

After finishing speaking, Shimamura took out his laptop, called two members of the programming team to assist him, and moved it aside for inspection.

Seeing that they were all busy, Matsumoto Jun himself was not idle either. He took out the speech he was going to use later and began to revise it over and over again.

 …

 At two o'clock in the afternoon, the report meeting was held on time.

The lights in the conference hall dimmed slightly, and soft and bright melody sounded from the speakers scattered around the venue.

The host walked onto the stage in high spirits and read out the opening speech to warm up the show.

 This meeting is mainly divided into three stages, namely the leader’s speech, the report by the person in charge of each project, and the final selection.

 Although this process is the same everywhere, some face-saving work must still be done.

Generally speaking, projects selected by leaders will receive resources from the headquarters in the future. Therefore, all project teams present today are actually competitors, even teams from the same department.

This may sound a bit difficult to understand, but this is a true portrayal of large companies.

 After all, there are only so many resources allocated from above. If you get more, I will get less. Naturally, if you want to eat more meat, you have to compete hard.

Matsumoto Jun couldn't help but feel a little pressure as he watched a group of competitors take to the stage one after another and demonstrate their carefully designed games in a variety of ways.

Even though he was very confident about his work, he still couldn’t change the fact that there was too much for everyone.

 Fortunately, those well-known game producers did not participate in this competition. They came here today more for a formality and to find inspiration. Otherwise, the chances for newcomers to get ahead would be even slimmer.

Back to the topic.

While Matsumoto Jun was thinking wildly, the meeting over there was also proceeding step by step.

The leaders of each group kept coming on and off the stage, and time passed unconsciously.

When the meeting was almost coming to an end, the moderator finally called on the last group—

“The following is the "Mecha Era" project team from the mobile game R&D department. I would like to invite the person in charge, Mr. Matsumoto Jun, to come on stage to demonstrate the work~!"

 The audience immediately burst into applause.

Matsumoto Jun suddenly brightened up, nodded friendly to the people around him, and then strode onto the stage with his laptop.

The host led him to the podium with a smile, helped him adjust the laptop and projector, and then simply stepped back.

 The conference hall became quiet.

Pairs of eyes looked from the audience seats, all focused on the stage.

Matsumoto Jun raised his eyelids and calmly looked at the reactions of the leaders in the front row, but all he saw was the unsmiling faces, which looked inexplicably deep.

He pulled the collar of his shirt slightly, feeling a rare nervousness, and the next second he met Special Agent Watanabe's eyes.

As if he noticed something, the other party nodded slightly at him and gave him an encouraging look.

Matsumoto Jun nodded hurriedly in return, as if he suddenly had a backbone and quickly regained his usual state of mind.

He took a deep breath to calm down, controlled the mouse to open the carefully crafted PPT, put on a confident smile, and prepared to start his speech with great ambition.

As a result, there was only a "bang" sound in the next second, and the door of the conference hall suddenly opened from the outside.

  A handsome-looking man appeared at the entrance, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The person involved was wearing a neat gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses. His dark brown pupils searched around seriously, and finally settled on the podium. After identifying the person, he walked straight over.

Matsumoto Jun looked at this menacing uninvited guest with confusion. Before he understood what happened, a leader sitting in the front row stood up in surprise.

“Ouch, isn’t this Secretary Komiya! Why do you have time to come here? It’s Mr. Yoshida. Does he have any instructions?”

Before he finished speaking, the leader stood up diligently and hurried forward with agility that was completely inconsistent with his bloated figure.

Taking this as an opportunity, other leaders also reacted, stood up one after another, and surrounded the man with a roar.

So a group of employees who didn't know the reason were shocked to see that a group of bosses who were usually very cold and aloof were rushing to greet others at this moment, as if something would happen if they were delayed for one second.

Facing the greetings from the leaders, the man just waved his hands indifferently, and then made a phone call in front of them.

"Hello? Mr. Iwai? I found the person you are looking for. He is here in the conference hall. Do you think I should lead him over or...what? Are you already on the way? Okay, then I will wait here. you."

 For a while, the only sound in the conference hall was the sound of a man talking on the phone.

 After he finally put down his cell phone, a leader asked tentatively: "Secretary Xiaogong, are you looking for someone? Do you think there is anything we can do for you?"

 The man did not respond, but turned his head and looked aside.

“Executive Watanabe, have you hired a new mobile game team recently? They are the same people who have worked at SQ Company before.”

Commissioner Watanabe was slightly startled when his name was called, and then immediately answered—

"Ah, it seems that something like this is happening, but I haven't paid much attention to this aspect recently. I usually deal with personnel matters... Secretary Xiaogong, do you have any instructions?"

Secretary Komiya glanced at Jun Matsumoto, who was standing on the stage at a loss, and nodded calmly.

"Then please call the person in charge of the "Mecha Era" project team and the main artist. The chairman has guests looking for them and they should arrive soon."

The leaders were shocked when they heard this, and their faces changed obviously.

 You must know that this secretary Xiaogong is the first secretary to the board of directors in the group! And there is no other person besides the current head Kenichiro Yoshida who can be called chairman.

Specialist Watanabe did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately called his assistant to give some instructions, and quickly brought Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura over.

 All leaders therefore set their sights on them.

Faced with this sudden situation, both of them were obviously a little confused. They stood in front of the group of big guys at a loss and couldn't figure out why they were called here.

Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura looked around for a while, and finally looked at Secretary Komiya standing in the center.

Sony is a large group. Ordinary employees like them usually don't have the opportunity to meet the president and other senior leaders. Commissioner Watanabe is the highest-level leader they have access to, so naturally they don't recognize the first secretary to the board of directors. identity.

But they are not fools. From the attitudes of the leaders around them, they can tell that the other party has an extraordinary background. Anyway, he is someone they can't afford to offend.

 Not only Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura, but other employees in the conference hall also have the same understanding.

People were whispering to each other and talking closely, and they were all paying close attention to the development of the situation.

Secretary Xiaomiya glanced at the messy conference hall and couldn't help frowning. He felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to allow people to visit here all the time, so he took out his mobile phone again and prepared to make a call.

At this moment, Butler Iwai also opened the door of the conference hall and saw him in the crowd at a glance.

 “I’m sorry, Secretary Xiaogong, for keeping you waiting.”

Butler Iwai raised his hand in greeting with a cheerful tone, and then stepped aside, placing his hands on his abdomen and back one after another, and stood by the door with his head held high.

Such behavior made everyone present feel a little confused, but they immediately had no intention of paying attention to this. A slender girl suddenly entered people's field of vision in the next second.

She faced the light, and her plain satin dress was blown back slightly by the wind. Her soft black hair swayed beside her face as she walked, looking dignified and gentle.

 The originally buzzing conference hall suddenly became quiet.

Countless eyes came together, focusing on the girl.

Butler Iwai smiled and made a chest-stroking salute, then walked beside the youngest daughter and pointed to Secretary Komiya in the crowd, as if to introduce her. Secretary Xiaomiya immediately put away her cell phone, put on a warm yet polite smile on her face, and nodded friendly.

People subconsciously held their breath and watched this scene intently. They all speculated which family the eldest lady was, and how she could have such a grand event!

 After a while, the girl and the butler walked to the front of the stage together.

She glanced at Matsumoto Jun casually and asked with a cold expression: "Are you Matsumoto Jun?"

The voice is clear and sweet, but it gives people an invisible sense of distance.

Matsumoto Jun was slightly startled when he heard this. Before he could speak, the other party asked again: "Do you remember Kato Yusuke?"

Matsumoto Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely had a bad premonition, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked:

“Uh…are you talking about President Kato of the “TYPE-MOON” studio? We have worked together for a while, and of course I remember President Kato... Do you have anything to do with me? "

Matsumoto Jun deliberately made his words ambiguous. He only said that he and Kato Yusuke had collaborated, but did not mention their relationship or problems at all, trying to shift the focus.

 The girl smiled noncommittally and rolled up her hair by her ears.

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Ryoko Nakano, the current representative of “TYPE-MOON” studio, and Yusuke Kato, who was framed and reported by you before, is my junior. Do you remember it now? "

Matsumoto Jun's expression changed, and he secretly thought that it was true.

He glared hatefully at Dao Cun beside him, and saw that the latter was also a little flustered. His eyes were wandering and he didn't know where to look, looking like he was guilty of committing a crime.

 Then he turned his attention to Commissioner Watanabe and said with an embarrassed face: Commissioner Watanabe, President Kato and I have a normal business cooperation. Look at this..."

Everyone present at this moment is a smart person. Looking at Jun Matsumoto's reaction, he immediately understood that the relationship between the two was by no means as simple as Commissioner Watanabe had shown before. It must be deeply involved.

  The big guys looked at Commissioner Watanabe in unison, their expressions becoming very subtle.

At this moment, Special Agent Watanabe almost cursed in his heart.

Matsumoto Jun asked him for help at this juncture, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting him on the fire?

 It would be fine if he knew the inside story, but the problem is that he has no idea what happened between Jun Matsumoto and the "TYPE-MOON" studio. What should he do? ? ?

 In fact, Commissioner Watanabe was right. Matsumoto Jun just wanted to ask him to help Zhou Xuanyiji.

At the time Jun Matsumoto thought about it, no matter how powerful this girl was, you, the senior leader of Sony, would not be obedient to others, right? Otherwise, if it were spread, wouldn't you lose even a little face?

 At this moment, the housekeeper behind the girl suddenly coughed.

“Ahem, I’m sorry, Secretary Xiaogong, our lady has other plans to travel next, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay here for too long.

As for that little brother Kato, he is not only a junior fellow student who has a good relationship with the eldest lady, but he is also a person that our master is very optimistic about. How do you think this matter should be handled? "

Secretary Xiaogong swayed, understanding that the other party had lost his patience, so he stood up and said without hesitation:

“Okay, let’s stop discussing it. The Human Resources Department has just issued a temporary notice and has new plans for some businesses. Everyone should listen to it.

 Based on business adjustments, the group has now decided to disband the "Mecha Era" project team of the branch's mobile game research and development department. All members of this team must go through the human resources procedures today. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly fell into dead silence.

 Everyone looked at Secretary Xiaogong in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.

　　The entire project team has to be laid off just because of one person? ? ?

This is so unreasonable—! ? ! ?

 “No, why is that—!?”

Shimamura, who had been hiding behind him, became anxious and jumped out to ask Secretary Komiya loudly:

“Let’s not mention that we have never violated any of the company’s rules. What qualifications does she, an outsider, have to make decisions for us? Isn’t this too self-righteous!?”

Matsumoto Jun said nothing, but he was also very angry and his face turned red.

At this time, a big boss seemed to suddenly think of something. He pointed at Ryoko Nakano and said:

“The Nakano family...is it the Nakano group? You are members of the Nakano family—!!”

His voice was distorted by shock, and it spread clearly to every corner of the conference hall.

 With a bang! After a brief moment of silence, the crowd exploded, with buzzing comments ringing from everywhere.

“Hey, I actually said that the Nakano Group...could it be that big consortium??!”

"You're lying! Aren't the Nakano family always mysterious? How could such a big shot have time to come here?"

“It is said that more than half of the well-known domestic companies have investment from the Nakano family. Is this true?”

“Not only in the business world, the Nakano family’s influence in the political world is great. Many famous politicians have received funding from them!”

Specialist Watanabe suddenly turned pale, his eyes switching between Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura, with an angry expression as if he wanted to eat someone.

That’s the **** Nakano family—!

These two **** have caused him so much trouble!

He was shocked and angry. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Shimamura's face hard.

-Snapped!

With a dull crisp sound resounding over the conference hall, Shimamura also let out a scream of "Hey!"

Specialist Watanabe pointed at his nose angrily and cursed:

“Why are you, a little artist, making such a fuss here! How can you speak here? Secretary Komiya is President Yoshida’s exclusive secretary! What he means is what President Yoshida means. How can you have the courage to contradict?!”

 After saying that, he put on a smile again and looked at Secretary Xiaogong with a flattering expression.

“I’m really sorry, Secretary Xiaogong, it’s my fault for being lax in my duties and making you laugh.

Don’t worry, I’ll call all the members of the “Mecha Era” project team later, and I’ll personally supervise them to complete the personnel procedures! "

While saying this, he was also frequently observing Ryoko Nakano's reaction with his peripheral vision, his eyes humble and apologetic, for fear that he would be implicated.

 The expressions of the other big guys became more and more weird, and they looked at the excitement in a joking manner.

No one expected that Commissioner Watanabe would suddenly take action.

Matsumoto Jun's pupils shrank and then dilated, his face turned blue and white, and his mood completely sunk to the bottom.

He never expected that Special Agent Watanabe, who had been his brother-in-law before, would turn his face faster than he could turn the pages of a book!

 But Commissioner Watanabe doesn’t care about this at all now!

His hands were even trembling slightly.

You must know that the reason why he recruited Jun Matsumoto and others into the company was entirely because they had made best-selling mobile games.

We have a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship just for fun, how can there be any personal relationship at all?

Who would have thought that these people would stab him in such a big trap! If he doesn't do justice as soon as possible, will he still have to wait for the New Year? ?

What’s more, this matter has nothing to do with him in the first place—!

 The only thing to blame is Jun Matsumoto and others who committed suicide and offended people they shouldn't have offended. He didn't want to suffer the same fate.

 Commissioner Watanabe recovered his thoughts and sincerely reflected on himself:

"I'm so sorry, Miss Nakano. It's all my fault that I was blind and didn't check the character of new employees carefully enough, so I recruited Matsumoto-kun and others into the company, causing you trouble."

 Commissioner Watanabe is a smart man, and smart people always know how to make choices.

 Between Nakanoya and Matsumoto Jun.

One party is a well-known family with profound heritage and aloof status, and the other party is a game designer with a little talent.

As long as Commissioner Watanabe swings between the two, he is not worthy of sitting in the position he is today.

The scene fell into an eerie silence for a while, leaving only Shimamura's hissing.

Ignoring the farce happening in front of her, the girl still had that calm expression, as if she was indifferent to everything, and she felt particularly cool and uncontaminated.

She glanced at Matsumoto Jun and Shimamura lightly, and then whispered to Secretary Komiya:

"Mr. Komiya, I have entrusted a lawyer to deal with the damage to my junior brother's reputation. They are on their way here. Could you please hand these two people over to them later?"

Secretary Komiya perked up and hurriedly replied: "Ms. Nakano, please don't worry, I will fully cooperate."

"Thank you, I feel relieved with your guarantee, so I won't disturb you anymore." The girl nodded lightly, and after saying that, she turned around and walked out without any hesitation.

Matsumoto Jun's body shook for a while, and his face suddenly became bloodless and full of despair.

The other side is trying to drive them all out—!

I think he worked hard for so many years, learned experience from various companies and carefully built a team, and finally saw the hope of being able to develop games independently, but in the end, someone wiped everything out with just one word!

No matter how good Matsumoto Jun's state of mind is, he can't help but feel sad and confused at this moment.

 In contrast, Shimamura's performance was even worse.

He stared at Ryoko Nakano's retreating back and couldn't help shouting with grief and anger: "Despicable villain, you are basically helping him cheat -!"

  —da.

The girl paused for a moment, then slowly turned her head.

She raised her chin slightly, stared at Shimamura leisurely, and let out an inexplicable chuckle.

“Well, I just want to help him cheat. As long as I am here, no one can bully him.

Whoever dares to touch him is my enemy, and I will make that person repay him a hundredfold.

In this world, he is the only one who bullies others, and no one else bullies him.

 Remember this sentence well. If you have a chance to see him again next time, remember to lower your head and behave like a human being. "

Her voice was not loud, but it somehow reached everyone's ears and echoed in people's minds.

 In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar!

 This is too overbearing—! ?

 The audience were all stunned, with shock written on their faces.

Shimamura's face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver, his mind was struck by lightning, his mouth was open and he couldn't hold back a single word.

Matsumoto Jun looked ashen and lowered his head dejectedly. A feeling of desolation gradually emanated from his body.

Nakano Ryoko took one last look at the conference hall, raised her feet slightly, and disappeared from people's sight with her skirt fluttering just as she came.

 …
