Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

September 5th.

"After Story" is released as scheduled.

Kato Yusuke had just finished taking the exam for the new semester that day, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the studio.

He first came to the programming department, intending to ask Yoshida about the transplantation status of the home console platform, but he bumped into Yuba Mishima.

The other party's eyes were red, and he was obviously startled when he saw him. Then he called "Boss" with a forced smile, lowered his head and left quickly.

Kato Yusuke was a little confused about the situation. He opened the door and entered his personal office, and found Yoshida inside with a frown on his face.

The person involved was currently sitting in his seat puffing away smoke. When he saw him entering the door, he reflexively put out his cigarette and stood up in a panic.

"Uh... Kato? Why are you here?"

Kato Yusuke glanced at him, pulled up a chair and sat down, beckoning him to sit down too.

"Oh, it's nothing special. I just came to ask you about the development progress of "Zhidai AS" and the porting status of the home game console platform."

Yoshida was stunned for a moment, then answered immediately.

"Oh, there are basically no problems with these two tasks. We wrote in the announcement that we will launch the ported version of the game at the end of the year, right? It should be completed on schedule."

Kato Yusuke said, "What happened to Miss Mishima? Did you two quarrel?"

Yoshida opened his mouth and looked around: "...What happened to Mishima? I don't know."

"Haha." Kato Yusuke laughed and said: "Mr. Yoshida, you really can't lie. Has no one ever told you that your guilty conscience is actually quite obvious?"

Yoshida tightened his face and said with a serious smile: "...What are you lying with a guilty conscience? I don't understand what you are talking about. If you are fine, I will continue to work?"

"Hey, you actually drove people away?" Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows and pretended to leave, "Okay, you won't tell me, right? Then I'll go ask Miss Mishima directly."

"Ah??" Yoshida was shocked and stood up quickly to stop him, "No, why are you looking for Mishima???"

Kato Yusuke said plausibly: "When I just came in, I saw Miss Mishima crying. As a boss, it is necessary for me to appease employees' emotions and confirm whether employees have been harassed by their authority."

"Don't go!" Yoshida slapped his thigh hard and said unspeakably: "Mishima and I just had a misunderstanding, and it has nothing to do with work..."

"Misunderstanding?" Kato Yusuke blinked and put on an expression that he was willing to hear the details. "What misunderstanding? Tell me."

"No, this is a private matter between us. There is no need to tell you, right?"

"Who said that? As I said just now, it is also one of the boss's jobs to be considerate of subordinates."

"Bah!" Yoshida said angrily: "What kind of considerate subordinate are you? It's just gossip!"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile and said in a joking tone:

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you make a girl angry, you'd better apologize as soon as possible, otherwise you will only be the one who suffers later."

Yoshida's eyes widened in shock, "Are you simply giving me advice? Or are you providing me with your personal experience?"

Kato Yusuke tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile: "Is there any difference between the two?"

He smiled happily, his handsome face revealed a cynical energy, and his temperament was leisurely.

Yoshida couldn't help but be impressed by his handsomeness. He was slightly startled, and then secretly thought something evil in his heart, and clicked his tongue with some unhappiness.

"Okay, I'm unlucky to have a boss like you who doesn't do his job properly. Don't you just want to hear about Mishima and me? I'm telling you, it's settled, right?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier?"

"Damn it, don't go too far, kid!" Yoshida grumbled as he sat down and told the story in a gentle voice.

In short, he caught up with Yuba Mishima after having a bad fight with his old colleague that day, and sent him home.

There is nothing to say about the matter at this point. The problem is that he accidentally said something too much today and felt that they should not have such a tense relationship with their former colleagues.

Mishima Yuzu was furious on the spot, feeling that her sincerity had fed the dog, and she lost her temper at him, which led to the scene that Kato Yusuke had just seen.

Kato Yusuke frowned after listening and asked: "Mr. Yoshida, what do you think? Others are even willing to lose face in order to protect you. Isn't there something wrong with your attitude?"

Yoshida smiled bitterly.

"Of course I know that... To be honest, I'm very touched that she could do that for me, but wouldn't Mishima be unable to interact with her former colleagues? I feel a little sorry for her."

Kato Yusuke twitched his brows, trying to figure out his tone.

"In other words, you are not dissatisfied because Miss Mishima got angry at others, but you feel guilty because she did this for you?"

"Yes." Yoshida nodded sadly.

"Anyway, I'm a thick-skinned person, so even a few words from Minister Onosaka and others won't have any impact, but Mishima's reputation and interpersonal relationships will definitely be affected."

Kato Yusuke is both funny and helpless.

"I'm not sure what your previous company was like, Mr. Yoshida, but even if you don't agree with Miss Mishima's approach, you don't have to tell others in person, right?"

Yoshida nodded gloomily, looked at the public office outside through the glass, touched his nose and whispered:

"...Also, I don't know if I'm overly concerned, but I always feel that Mishima's attitude towards me is a bit strange."

"Oh? What's weird?"

"Well, it's just that she seems to have some kind of interest in me..."

"Oh~~~"

Kato Yusuke nodded clearly and said without any surprise: "You are referring to the fact that Miss Mishima likes you, right?"

"Idiot! Don't speak so loudly!" Yoshida made a gesture of silence while nervously looking outside, as if he was afraid of being heard.

Kato Yusuke tried hard to hold back his laughter, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, don't waste your efforts. Our voices cannot be heard outside... Besides, it is basically a recognized fact in the company that Miss Mishima likes you. It's just that you were too slow to notice it. "

"--What did you say!?"

Yoshida was stunned, his mouth opened and closed, and he was speechless for a long time.

Kato Yusuke shook his head in amusement, did not stay any longer, and returned to his office in a happy mood.

After all, this matter is someone else's private matter, and it's hard for him to get involved too much. Let Yoshida worry about the rest.

I casually wrote about Fate's plan and spent a while when there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Boss, are you free now? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Kato Yusuke raised his head and found that the person coming was Jun Matsumoto, so he nodded and responded: "Come in and sit down, Richard, I'm fine now."

"Okay, boss." Jun Matsumoto entered the office with a smile and sat down on the chair opposite the boss's desk.

Kato Yusuke put away the half-written plan and asked: "So, Richard, what do you want from me?"

"Oh, actually, it's nothing special. It's just that I recently discovered that there are some areas for improvement in the work system of our studio, so I wanted to give you some feedback."

"Anything worth improving?"

"That's right." Jun Matsumoto nodded with a smile and pushed a notebook over. "This is a summary I boldly made, and I also asked the boss to read it."

Kato Yusuke took it without knowing it, and turned to the corresponding page according to the instructions. He found that there was really a lot written on it, and it covered a wide range.

For example, employees should make detailed daily work plans based on their own circumstances to improve work efficiency.

For example, employees should fill in a daily report before leaving get off work and report to their department leaders so that they can have a clear understanding and plan for their work.

For another example, each department should set up a role similar to a "team leader" to facilitate vertical management and so on.

I flipped through several pages in a row and found basically similar content. It felt like form over substance, so it was quite dispensable.

Kato Yusuke didn't find any bright spots from it, but he didn't intend to refute other people's enthusiasm because of this trivial matter. He thought about it and asked: "What does Kano-chan say about these things?"

Matsumoto Jun was stunned when he was asked, "Huh? How do you say what?"

Kato Yusuke frowned slightly, raised his gaze and asked, "Didn't you let Kano-chan read the summary you showed me first?"

"Oh." Matsumoto Jun reacted, "I'm sorry, boss, I thought Representative Hasumi was mainly responsible for external affairs, so I didn't tell her. I will definitely talk to her first next time."

"Okay." Kato Yusuke nodded and returned the notebook to him, "That's it. You can ask Kano-chan specifically about these things, as long as she agrees."

"Okay, I understand." Matsumoto Jun agreed readily, and then casually mentioned as if he remembered something, "By the way, boss, I still have something to ask."

"you say."

"That's right. I heard someone said that Minister Yoshida seems to have received equity awards from the company. Is this true?"

Kato Yusuke looked at him calmly and replied: "Yes."

Jun Matsumoto's eyes moved slightly and he asked tentatively: "Then I would like to ask, boss, does our company have equity incentives as long as it reaches the ministerial level? Or is it only Minister Yoshida who has it?"

Although he said it very tactfully, Kato Yusuke still understood what he wanted to express, and couldn't help but squinted his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment.

"Richard, you have only joined the company for less than a month. Don't you think it's a bit too early to ask this question? But since you asked, I can tell you clearly.

Position is not the standard for equity incentives, and we do not have such a system. Whether we can provide corresponding value to the company is the factor we consider.

You only need to know that the company will not treat those who have contributed badly, and you don’t need to think about other things so much. Do you understand what I say? "

Jun Matsumoto nodded in understanding, still smiling, with no emotion on his face.

…

Almost a week passed like this.

"Chiyo AS" is also gradually approaching the final stage. All that is left is to replace all the art resources of the final version and do bug testing before it can be released.

However, at this juncture, Shimamura, who was in charge of art work, suddenly became ill and expressed that he wanted to take three days off.

Ying Lili didn't think too much and agreed simply. After all, three days was not a long time and there wouldn't be too much work backlog. She could catch up as long as she worked a little harder.

She was working as usual while waiting for Shimamura to come back.

On the first day, Shimamura told her that he had gone to the doctor and said he had a cold and needed to rest.

The next day, no news.

On the third day, there was no news.

Then on the fourth and fifth days, Shimamura neither came back to work nor received any news.

On the sixth day, Ying Lili called him to ask about the specific situation, but the phone was turned off directly!

She couldn't figure out what went wrong, so she had to assign the work to Mayu Sagara and the other two painters first, otherwise she would not be able to keep up with the progress.

However, the two painters didn't know whether it was because they were in poor condition or too nervous. The quality of the art resources they handed back was not very good, and basically none of them could be used.

This caused her and Mayu Sagara to have to free up their hands to assist the two people in reworking, and in the end, the work at hand was also delayed.

Seeing that the workload was piling up and there was still no news from Shimamura, Eiri finally couldn't help but became anxious and came to Kato Yusuke for help.

Hearing that Shimamura had been out of contact for several days, Kato Yusuke didn't say much and went directly to Matsumoto Jun to inquire about the situation.

As a result, Matsumoto Jun also seemed to be kept in the dark, saying that he had not received any contact from Shimamura and did not know what happened.

However, just when Yusuke Kato was about to call the police, he changed his attitude and tried to stop him intentionally or unintentionally.

Kato Yusuke immediately noticed the clues, his face darkened, and he asked word by word: "Richard, I need a reasonable explanation. What happened to Shimamura?"

Matsumoto Jun said ambiguously:

"Oh, he sent me an email two days ago, saying that he felt that the air in Tokyo was not very good, and he planned to go back to his hometown in the countryside to recuperate for a few days. He should be back soon."

Kato Yusuke took a deep look at him, directly called Kano in, and ordered the latter to stop Shimamura's pass and prepare for the dismissal procedure.

Jun Matsumoto was shocked. He didn't expect his temper to be so violent. He subconsciously wanted to plead for mercy, but Yusuke Kato spoke first -

"What? Richard, are you dissatisfied with my handling?"

Matsumoto Jun was sensitively aware of the danger in his tone, so he swallowed the words back into his throat, forced a smile and said nothing.

Kato Yusuke stared into his eyes tightly, his voice was so cold that it seemed as if the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees.

"Richard, don't blame me for not giving you face. I've said ugly things first. If anyone among your people does this to me next time, then everyone will get out. OK?"

No matter how deep Matsumoto Jun's palace was, his face froze when he heard this stern warning, and he nodded slowly after a long silence.

"...OK, boss."
