Chapter 412
The president of Universal Music, Kenji Kitano, has been annoying recently.

He felt that if Universal's Director He Xi was his savior, then Kiyoshi Sakamoto was his slain nemesis.

Director Hexi is the one who elected him to be the president of Universal and stood behind him to support him.

However, Director Hexi, who was so optimistic about him, just reprimanded himself severely and even slapped him a few times.

Now he can still feel the burning pain on his face.

Kitano Kenji knew that his left face must be flushed.

In order not to let the people in the company see him, as soon as he left Hexi's director's office, he immediately got into the bathroom and waited for the red marks on his face to disappear before returning to his president's office with heavy steps.

Sitting on the office chair, he stared blankly at the president's desk card on the table, and he was a little at a loss.

"Universal Representative Director, Kenji Kitano."

Although it has his name printed on it, as well as a position that looks very prestigious, but Kenji Kitano's mood at this time is very different from the ambition and high-spirited when he first took office last year. . .

When he first took office, he was supported by most of Universal's directors, and he secretly set a goal in his heart, that is, to lead Universal Music to become the No. 1 Japanese record company!

At that time, he had three fires when he took office as a new official. In Universal, he would clean up whoever he wanted, and whoever dared to beep.

In Universal, he has the final say!

However, in less than a year, he became the object of ridicule at Universal Records.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that he was gradually losing the trust of Director Hexi. . .

Recalling the shameful scene just now, he had to grit his teeth.

. . . . . .

half an hour ago.

Office of the Executive Director.

"He Xisang, are you looking for me?"

Kenji Kitano, standing respectfully in front of the desk, is not at all like the president of Universal who is usually in high spirits, but like a student who is about to be reprimanded.

That's right, Kitano Kenji was also ready to be reprimanded by the supporters behind him this time.

Kenji Kitano, who had somewhat guessed his current situation, stared at the ground a little nervously, not daring to keep his gaze level.

A middle-aged man in his forties crossed his hands in front of him, stood upright, lowered his head, and tightly pursed his lips, as if waiting for the next punishment.

It took a long time for the old man sitting on the office chair to make a sound.

A gloomy voice with an irresistible domineering voice suddenly appeared in the office.

"Beitano, how long have you been under my command?"

Hearing this question, Kitano Kenji's body trembled involuntarily.

"...11 years."

The tone of the answer gave people a feeling of hesitation.

"Oh, it's been 11 years..." The old man's voice seemed to be recalling the past, but Kitano Kenji knew that his nobleman was not the kind of person who recalled the past. . .

Most importantly, the next sentence terrified Kitano Kenji.

"Head up!"

With an unquestionable tone, Kitano Kenji slowly raised his head.

I saw an old man about 60 years old with gray hair, sitting on the seat behind the desk, staring at him closely with a pair of cloudy eyes like a falcon, as if he was a target prey.

This made Kitano Kenji involuntarily look away from the sight of him.

"Do you know why I recommended you to sit in this position?" The words of the old man made Kitano Kenji's brain start to run at high speed.

However, before he could answer, the old man continued on.

"Because I am optimistic about your earning ability and calm judgment!"

"However, you let me down..."

Snapped!
The old man picked up a stack of documents on the desktop, and slammed them on Kenji Kitano's chest.

The document was only briefly in contact with the body for a few tenths of a second before falling to the ground and scattered everywhere.

But the person who was smashed remained motionless.

It's not that I don't want to move, but that I dare not move.

"Look! Look at what you have done this year?!!"

The old man who was still sitting on the chair stood up abruptly, pointing at the stack of documents on the ground with a gloomy tone.

Kenji Kitano, who was reprimanded, turned his gaze to the documents on the ground.

He saw that several of the documents had the words "Global Quarterly Financial Report", "Global Quarterly Stock Report" and so on.

He understands.

Such a scene will come sooner or later.

From the moment he learned that Fukuyama Masaharu proposed to terminate the contract and switch to Sony, he foresaw the current scene.

It's just that he didn't expect it to come so soon. . .

The old man is still going on.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"It's understandable that you took Sakamoto Kiyoshi as the target of your downfall. After all, as a competitor, we can't let Sony continue to suppress us..."

"However, you shouldn't be blindly confident and attack rashly without knowing the details of the enemy!"

"Where did your calmness go?!"

"After you took office, all I saw was a villain who clamored for revenge after being irritated, not President Universal who calmly analyzed and found out the real situation of the enemy before taking action!!" The old man was disappointed Shaking his head gently, he ran his fingers lightly across the smooth surface of the table.

"In terms of forbearance, you are indeed much worse than Yamazaki..."

"He Xisang, I..."

Snapped!
Before he could finish speaking, Kenji Kitano felt a slap in the face on his face.

Hot!
Then came the pain.

However, Kitano Kenji still did not dare to move.

"I won't talk about the matter of Sakamoto Kiyoshi. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. You can't compare with others in sales. You can find your place elsewhere."

"But, you let me down again..."

Snapped!
Another slap mark was left on Kitano Kenji's face, but the old man's tone became more and more gloomy, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"You're looking for someone to smear that kid in the media, and you don't know how to find some middlemen, and you actually let your own men go down to come forward?!"

"Are you an idiot?!"

Snapped!
Another slap.

This time, it was the same face.

God said, if a person hits you on the right cheek, please stick out the other cheek and let him continue to hit you.

However, Kitano Kenji did not dare to do this at this time.

He could only silently endure the pain and numbness on his face, and continued to accept the reprimand.

"Do you know how important Fukuyama Masaharu is to the value of our company?! Huh?!" The old man grabbed Kitano Kenji's collar, and approached Kitano with his old face that was rosy from anger. Kenji said viciously.

"You actually handed over the company's important assets, and the other party is our competitor?!"

"How are you going to be responsible?!!"

With a loud roar and a sudden push, Kitano Kenji was pushed away by the old man.

At this time, Kitano Kenji knew that if he continued to remain silent, it would only make the old man more angry, so he loosened his legs and knelt down on the ground.

"very sorry!"

A standard soil seat, the effect is indeed obvious.

After all, Kitano Kenji, who is now the president of Universal, still wants to sit down to himself, which proves that he still regards himself as the boss.

This made the old man want to come out from behind the desk and give Kitano Kenji a period of men's singles, but it also faded a little.

"Hmph! The board of directors is very dissatisfied with your decision-making mistakes this time. If you can't do something to restore the trust of the board of directors, even I can't protect you, understand?!"

"Yes!"

Kenji Kitano, who knelt on the ground and pressed his forehead to the ground, had a very ferocious expression.

However, the person who resented him in his heart at this time was not the old man in front of him, but the person who caused all this to happen.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi!
"hateful!!!"

This is the scene that Kenji Kitano still felt humiliated after returning to his president's office. . .

Thoughts floated back again, Kitano Kenji cheered up, "No, I have to do something, otherwise, if this continues, my position..."

He knew that even if he was impeached and stepped down, his predecessor, Yamazaki Ichiro still owned part of Universal Music's shares and supporters.

At this time, Yamazaki Ichiro was like a lion hiding in the grass, always behind him, staring at him, waiting for the opportunity to return to the world.

So, he can't just fall down like this!

Having made up his mind, he stretched out his hand and pressed the phone on the table.

He was going to let his confidants come in and discuss together how to restore the bad image caused by the recent failure to stop Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaharu Fukuyama's switch to Sony. . .

Just before he pressed the phone, there was a knock on the office door.

This made his movements pause.

"Come in!"

It was his confidant, artist director, Shang Chuan who pushed the door and entered.

This buddy is also the one who proposed to stop Kiyoshi Sakamoto last time.

The idea is good, but the only thing to blame is that the enemy is too strong, so even if it failed, Kitano Kenji did not fire this subordinate.

Moreover, after Fukuyama Masaharu's transfer incident, this is the only confidant he can trust. . .

So, seeing Kamikawa walking in, Kenji Kitano immediately put on a smiling face, "What's wrong?"

Although he was a little baffled by his boss's sudden smile, Shang Chuan came to the desk nervously and stood still.

"President, I have some news. I think I should come over and report to you..."

"Oh, what news?" Although it can be seen from Shangchuan's hesitant expression that the news should not be good news, Kitano Kenji still maintained a calm demeanor in front of his subordinates.

However, this news directly made him uneasy.

"Fukuyama Masaharu and Sakamoto Kiyoshi form a limited group, and are preparing to release a collaborative single..."
