Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Saturday morning.

Although it was a rare day off, Yoshida still put on a neat suit and took the train to Higashifushimi Hoya in Nishi Tokyo.

According to the address on your mobile phone, follow the map to arrive at Fujicho 3-chome 1-19.

After finding the "Komeda" coffee shop, I walked through two more streets before finally reaching my destination.

——"TYPE-MOON Studio"

After checking the sign on the door and the address on his phone several times, Yoshida was sure that he was not looking in the wrong place.

However, looking at the doorbell in front of him, he hesitated before reaching out to press it.

To be honest, he still doesn't know if what he did was right, and he is deeply troubled by it.

He has been in this state since the last time he was rejected by the boss he had been secretly in love with for five years, and then got drunk and talked with his magical little neighbor.

Looking back at that time, I seemed to have said a lot of embarrassing things and made many embarrassing actions. I even took my anger out on my work and others.

But even so, Kato patiently comforted and took care of him.

Not only was he willing to listen carefully to his complaints that even he himself found annoying, but he also thoughtfully enlightened him and introduced him to new companies.

Because of such a favor, he couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he dialed the number Kato sent him.

But on the other hand, he was actually not ready to leave the company where he had worked for five years.

In such a dilemma, he made a decision.

That is to visit the person in charge of the studio in person, solemnly apologize and explain the situation.

You must truthfully inform the other party that you have no intention of changing jobs.

As for Kato...

Although I am very embarrassed, I can only find a way to make up for it later.

To sum up, Yoshida feels this is the right approach.

After all, public matters are public matters and private matters are private matters.

——The two cannot be confused.

No matter how much depression you have at work, you still have to break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.

Wait until after get off work to have a drink with your colleagues, complain and scold your boss, and then go back to work full of energy the next day!

——This is a qualified Japanese social animal!

But then again...

That kid Kato is really good. He has achieved such impressive achievements at such a young age.

You must know that when he saw the other party on the news, he was eating Chinese ramen in the staff restaurant!

As a result, he accidentally choked on the noodles because he was too shocked, and made a big fool of himself in front of everyone.

——But you definitely can’t blame him for making a fuss!

After all, who would have thought that the neighbor who lives in the same old apartment with him turns out to be a popular cartoonist and billionaire?

Even the hot girl named Asami Yuki who lives downstairs is also shocked by this?

——It can only be said that Kato hid it too deeply!

And there is...

If I could be as outstanding as the other party, Ms. Goto probably wouldn't reject me, right?

Rather than like now.

Even if it's extremely awkward, we should pretend to be in the same company as if nothing happened...

When he thought of this, Yoshida couldn't help but slump his shoulders and let out a deep sigh.

But no matter what, the most important thing now is to finish the immediate things first.

He slapped his cheek with his palm to cheer himself up, and then raised his hand to press the doorbell.

Ding Dong~

The melodious doorbell rang...

…

A few minutes later.

Entering the house, Yoshida saw the speaker of the studio.

——That is a beauty who is not inferior to Miss Goto.

Through the exchange of business cards and self-introductions, he learned that the other person's name was Hasumi Kanoko.

After the pleasantries.

For some reason, before he could explain his purpose, the other party took him on a tour, and he couldn't find a chance to refuse, so he had to go together.

In order from bottom to top, President Hasumi explained to him the various areas of the studio.

First up is the first floor, which is also the main work area.

In the spacious art room, tables are arranged in an n-shape.

The main seat is located at the innermost side of the room, and the two rows of tables extending longitudinally are probably used by assistants.

In addition to computers, tablets, and commercial printers, there are also electronic devices on the table that appear to be used by professionals.

But Yoshida didn't know what those were.

There is a blackboard installed on one wall of the room, which looks like it is used for explanations or discussions.

On the ceiling, there are many independent chandeliers installed on one horizontal and two vertical slide rails. The number is a bit surprising.

President Hasumi explained that this was for the convenience of employees, and it was not easy for him to make more inquiries.

Then came to the programming department.

The room here is much smaller than before.

Compared with the painting area, the layout here is almost like an ordinary IT company office.

Basically, there are two sets of desks and chairs plus a computer, but because there are few people, it seems more spacious.

In addition, there is sufficient lighting here.

When the bright sunshine shines through the blinds, it makes people feel very comfortable.

Then there are the conference room, kitchen, and bathroom.

Surprisingly, the bathroom here is also equipped with double sinks, which is very convenient.

After looking at the first floor, we went to the second floor.

When he saw the common room, Yoshida couldn't help but feel his eyes light up.

This is so special-!

You know, this is Tokyo, where land is at a premium!

Not to mention the willingness to set aside space, there are very few companies that provide dedicated rest rooms for employees.

Including the layout inside is also extremely warm and comfortable!

There is a very comfortable sofa, an oversized LCD TV, a bookcase with magazines and publications, and a table and chairs placed by the window.

Even coffee machines and tea sets are provided!

"The area in the corner over there is the tea room." Hasumi Kanoko explained.

"The snacks and drinks above will be replenished regularly and are free of charge. Although it is just a small gesture, I hope everyone can relax after work."

"...Oh, that's it, haha." Yoshida nodded politely in response, with some emotion in his eyes.

As Kato has said before, this is a brand new company.

This can also be seen through the furniture in the room, which has a brand-new smell.

Although the area here is not as large as the company where he works, it is still small and well-equipped, and basically has everything it needs.

The overall atmosphere gives people a very comfortable and special feeling to stay in, without feeling serious at all.

If you want to describe it specifically, it is probably a bit similar to how a layman looks at an art studio.

Although I don’t know what they are busy with, I always feel that the atmosphere will be relaxed and happy.

However this is only the beginning...

After the visit was over, Hasumi Kanoko led him to the "President's Office" to discuss serious matters such as remuneration.

‘I can’t wait any longer, I must explain my purpose as soon as possible! ’

With this thought in mind, Yoshida sat upright and was about to speak, but was beaten to the spot again.

"Then let me introduce you to the studio's system, Mr. Yoshida."

"Ah, no, that..."

As if she didn't hear his voice, Hasumi Kanoko continued speaking.

"Our working hours here are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break in between. However, the actual situation can also be adjusted according to individual circumstances."

"Uh...actually..."

"As long as you can complete your work normally and do not affect others, you can use your spare time to your own devices."

"No, that..."

Why doesn’t President Hasumi give anyone a chance to speak?

Yoshida couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but the other party had no intention of stopping.

"We have two weekends off every week, and we are also closed on statutory holidays."

"What……?"

"In addition, I heard that overtime is very common in the IT industry. If you are interested in joining the company, Mr. Yoshida, please pay attention to this aspect."

Yoshida: (???)

"Because the members of our studio are quite special, please try to avoid working overtime if it is not necessary. Of course, normal overtime work will also result in overtime pay."

Yoshida: (???)

What--?

Is this really a company?

You actually said you should avoid working overtime? ?

Once upon a time, were there capitalists so friendly to social animals?

Normally, it shouldn’t be the kind of situation where you are not allowed to leave until you finish the work, and you have to work overtime;

You are not allowed to leave after completing your work. You must wait for your seniors and leaders to leave first...

Talking about team spirit and dedication like this is an ordinary workplace rule, isn't it——? ?

But now! What did he hear?

avoid! waived! add! class!

Give! add! class! fee!

Yoshida couldn't help but be stunned.

How can this be called a company? ?

This is simply a Utopia!

It is the land of Canaan full of hope!

It’s a utopia in cold realism!

What about the company?

Never admit it——!

…

To say that Yoshida's current company environment is not bad, and the system is also more humane, he was even complacent about it...

But once you compare it with this place!

——The company he worked for actually lost!

Let’s not talk about much, just talk about himself.

Since joining the company five years ago, he has been working overtime almost every day!

Although a lot of it was his passion for his work.

Not only did he never mind working overtime, he would even take the initiative to help others after completing his own duties.

After going back and forth like this, I finally became unable to go back even if I wanted to, so I naturally started working overtime.

But relatively——

Because overtime is voluntary, there is no overtime pay.

Otherwise, based on how often he has worked overtime almost every day in the past five years, his salary would have been at least double what it is now!

But what is the reality?

Even though he doesn't have too utilitarian ideas, he is still an ordinary employee so far.

Not even a director!

In a department, "director" is just a position slightly higher than that of ordinary employees.

According to the seniority system, this position is usually held by employees who have worked for 5-10 years. He was not able to take the turn.

However, Ms. Goto is already a managing director!

The gap can only be described as vastly different...

While he was thinking about this, Kanoko Hasumi continued to explain.

"The last thing is about your treatment, Mr. Yoshida."

As if his words were not surprising, the other party suddenly said: "After research, the initial monthly salary we can offer here is 600k, what do you think?"

"——!

"

Yoshida was shocked when he heard this and blurted out unconsciously: "It's actually so tall——!?"

"In addition, if the studio's performance is good, there will be additional year-end dividends."

"What? There's also year-end dividends——!?" Yoshida couldn't help but stood up from his seat.

You know, even if you don't take into account the year-end bonus, this salary is at least half higher than his current level!

This kind of surprise falling from the sky makes people dizzy!

"Yes, there is." Hasumi Kanoko smiled and nodded in confirmation.

"No, um, President Hasumi, you haven't asked me any professional questions, have you? Is it really okay to give me such a high salary...?"

At this moment, Yoshida lost his previous complacency, and instead became a little worried about gains and losses.

I really don’t blame him for not being strong-willed, but because the other party gave him too much...

Generally speaking.

Other companies are eager to talk to you about their ideals and ambitions.

But once it comes to money and treatment, he starts to think about things left and right.

However, this company is very good. Not only does it not talk empty talk, but it also puts money and treatment on the table from the very beginning.

——Highlight a sincerity!

He simply doesn’t play according to the routine!

Ignoring his uneasiness, Hasumi Kanoko continued to explain:

"Actually, as you saw just now, Mr. Yoshida, our programming department currently only has two people, and the other one is still a student with little experience, so you will have a harder time then."

"Also, if possible, I hope you can give him some guidance after work."

"As for professional issues, I don't know much about it. But since Xiaoyou believes in you, then I will believe in you too, that's it."

"Ahaha... So that's it..." Yoshida smiled unconsciously.

He had to admit that he was a little shaken in his heart.

For a person of his age, although he still holds some boyish ideals in his heart, they are not as many as when he was a student.

After all, compared to the illusory ideal, it is more practical to get the bread in your hand.

In the final analysis, the biggest reason why he stayed in his current company, besides being used to it, was Miss Goto.

But now that the relationship between the two has broken down, is it really necessary to continue to be attached to the original company?

This is almost a question that can be answered without much thinking.

"If you are good enough, why can't Ms. Goto choose you on her own initiative?"

What Kato once said came to mind involuntarily.

Yoshida's hands on his thighs clenched his trousers unconsciously.

There seems to be no reason to refuse, right?

Just like Kato said!

Rather than continue to waste time in the original company, it is better to simply come out and prove yourself! Become a man who can stand firm in front of Miss Goto in the future!

Ever since, under the dual temptation of generous salary and obsession——

Yoshida gritted his teeth and stood up from his seat.

"——Then please give me your advice in the future! President Hasumi."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Seeing that the matter was done, Hasumi Kanoko also showed a heartfelt smile on her face, and she also stood up and replied, "Please give me more advice."

In fact, she hadn't noticed Yoshida's desire to refuse.

But in order not to disappoint anyone, she pretended not to notice several times.

Although it was not necessary at all, she still felt a little guilty and embarrassed.

Fortunately, this matter has finally been basically settled.

After relaxing, Hasumi Kanoko rubbed her shoulders.

Recalling all the craziness last night, I felt that every part of my body was sore, but at the same time, I was filled with satisfaction.

Even after a whole night.

But that feeling of water and milk mingling to the point where electricity rushes through the body, and even the scalp is numb, still remains deeply in my mind...

Then, she remembered another thing, and asked Yoshida: "...By the way, Mr. Yoshida, do you know how to set up a website?"

"Is it necessary to set up a website? Well, I have done a similar project in my company. Do you have any questions?"

"Well, can you set up a website independently? It doesn't need to be too complicated, just something similar to a blog."

"The Sword Comes"

"If that's the case, it's totally fine. It can be done in no more than a week at most." Yoshida replied relatively conservatively.

Hasumi Kanoko nodded and began to talk to him about some of the details and needs...

…

(Thank you all for your monthly votes, thank you very much!)
