Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 355 Prioritizes the Recruitment of Chinese Students

After only a few days in Shanghai, Takeshita Masato was sent back to Japan by Lin Qingqian.

She didn't want to become the kind of person who would cause the king to avoid getting up early and bring disaster to the people.

The young man had no choice but to obey and reluctantly boarded the plane back to Tokyo.

After returning to China, he did not go to the company immediately, but instead habitually returned to his home in Shenze.

He looked at Izumi Sakai, whose ponytail and still pure and delicate appearance were still beautiful.

"How has the child been these days?"

"Yeah, I just miss you a lot, and sometimes I'll wonder where Daddy went."

"Oh, what about you?"

Sister Quanshui was very shy, a blush creeping up her neck, but she still boldly said, "Me too."

"I missed you guys, too."

Takeshita Masato embraced the girl and gently inhaled the fragrance emanating from her hair.

Then, with heartfelt emotion, he said, "I'm going to rest at home for a few days and spend time with you and our daughter, going shopping and playing."

"Okay, let's go camping then."

"I'm fine with that. So, where do you want to go?"

The young man wasn't particularly fond of camping. But since Izumi wanted to go camping, he naturally had to accommodate her.

Of course, the most important thing is to take good safety measures.

Camping is not safe.

Camping in the mountains risks encountering man-eating bears and venomous insects and snakes; camping by the sea risks encountering deadly, invisible tides.

Many people who do not live by the sea easily overlook the power of the tide and are unknowingly submerged in the rising tide.

"How about going to the mountains near my hometown?"

"Sure, that's great."

The young man was satisfied because the dangers of the mountain were now more manageable. His security personnel could eliminate the vast majority of safety hazards.

At 3 p.m., Masato Takeshita personally rode a bicycle that could carry a passenger to pick up his daughter from kindergarten.

"Wow, Daddy, are you here to pick me up?"

Takeshita Kei had a very sharp eye and immediately spotted the young man in the crowd.

"That's right, I had the day off today, so I thought I'd pick you up from school myself."

"Mwah, that's great!"

Takeshita Kei was delighted and immediately rewarded the young man with a kiss full of saliva.

After chatting with his daughter for a few minutes with a smile, Masato Takeshita stood up again and spoke to the kindergarten teacher.

"Thank you for your hard work, Matsushima-sensei. We'll head back now."

"Mr. Takeshita, please make yourselves at home. There's no need to be so polite."

After leaving the campus, Takeshita Keiko chattered on about the shops and scenery on both sides of the road.

"Dad, I want to go to 711-Eleven."

"I can't make that decision myself. Go back and ask your mother."

Masato Takeshita knew that the girl wanted to buy snacks at the convenience store. However, he didn't know the specifics and didn't dare to make a decision on his own.

"Hmph, Dad is a coward."

Takeshita Kei was a little dissatisfied. Was it so hard to just have some pudding?
But kids change their minds quickly, and before long they were asking for takoyaki again.

"Okay, then we'll buy three."

Masato Takeshita felt quite at ease with the snack shops along his way home from school.

These snack shops were all opened by people hired by the young man so that Takeshita Kei could understand the living habits of ordinary people.

Anyway, there are only a few dozen shops nearby, so it won't cost much to buy everything.

"Wow, Dad is so nice."

"Hmph, now you realize how good Dad is."

The piping hot takoyaki was quickly made, and Takeshita Kei couldn't wait to stick one in with a toothpick and blow on it repeatedly.

The adorable chubby face suddenly plumped up like a pufferfish.

"Yes, from now on, we should blow on our food to cool it down before eating."

"Yes, Mom said so."

Feeling that it was about time, the girl ladylikely ate one-third of it.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"Uh-huh."

Takeshita Kei nodded his little head happily, his eyes and brows filled with a smile of enjoyment.

About halfway through the meal, the girl felt full and couldn't eat anymore.

He first looked at the young man with a troubled expression, then his eyes widened.

"Dad, I saved half for you, you can eat it too."

"Okay, I'll eat."

Takeshita Masato took the half portion of takoyaki handed to him by his daughter, feeling extremely satisfied.

What a clever little guy.

Even though she couldn't finish half of it, she made it sound like she deliberately left half for you.

Although both involve leaving only half, the listener's perception is completely different.

I hope my daughter will have this cleverness when she grows up, so she won't be deceived.

Compared to his daughter's quiet and ladylike demeanor, Masato Takeshita was less concerned with table manners.

He devoured the remaining takoyaki from his daughter in one go.

In fact, when it comes to table manners, most people only pay attention to things like the nouveau riche who want to get into high-end circles and a small number of middle-class people.

For those at the top of the social hierarchy, etiquette is generally kept to a very basic level. Not making loud smacking noises while eating or using your hands to dine in a way that annoys others is considered proper conduct.

As for eating speed and other aspects, there are absolutely no rules about it.

For example, when drinking red wine, those nouveau riche with only a superficial understanding of the customs and etiquette will pay attention to where to put their hands.

The Queen and other members of the ruling class don't care about these things at all. When I want to drink red wine, I'll hold the glass however I feel comfortable.

Whether my fingers touch the cup or not, what does that have to do with me?
There are great scholars who will debate the scriptures for me.

Just like with clothing, being clean and tidy overall is a reflection of good upbringing, and has nothing to do with what brand you wear.

Apple founder Steve Jobs liked to wear jeans and T-shirts on formal occasions. Was he looked down upon?

Nvidia's Huang Renxun likes to wear leather jackets to formal occasions. Will people say he has no manners?
No, people will say it's a unique experience.

After they finished eating, Masato Takeshita secured his daughter back into the child seat in the back.

"Are you seated?"

"Sit down."

The little girl responded in a sweet, childlike voice, full of cuteness.

"Okay, I'm off then."

"Okay, let's go."

It's only a ten-minute bike ride from the kindergarten to home, but Sister Quanshui, out of concern, still stood at the gate waiting for the two of them.

"Wow, Mom!"

Upon seeing his mother, Takeshita Kei couldn't help but excitedly pat the young man on the back.

"Yeah, I saw it."

He had just parked the car at the door when Izumi Sakai, who had been responding to her daughter, suddenly picked her up from the back seat.

"Did you behave well at kindergarten today?"

"I was very good, and the teacher rewarded me with stars. Look, look!"

After saying that, she wanted to show her mother the star stickers on the notebook.

"Yes, that's good, my dear daughter."

Izumi Sakai spoke gently with her daughter for a few minutes before turning her attention to the young man.

To be precise, it should be the takoyaki on the bicycle.

"Honestly, I bought her snacks again. She probably won't be able to eat dinner tonight."

“We should eat something every now and then. Didn’t we crave snacks when we were kids?” Takeshita Masato didn’t seem to mind, and then handed his lover a takoyaki.

"Here, one for each of us."

"Forget about it."

Izumi Sakai shook her head, not wanting to argue with her boyfriend. She knew she couldn't win an argument with a young man unless she resorted to unreasonable arguments.

As expected, Takeshita Kei couldn't eat much during dinner that evening.

After eating a couple of bites of food, he ran back to his toy room and played wildly by himself.

She wanted to draw today, to turn her experience of going home from school into a painting.

"By the way, should we organize more families to go camping together? Children need to play with other children their own age to grow up faster."

Masato Takeshita didn't want his children to lose their playmates, as that could easily lead to various problems.

"Everyone has work to do, so it's unlikely this time."

"Oh, okay? Then how about we go and come back on the same day?"

Masato Takeshita recalled his childhood spring outings, during which the children would feel happy.

"That should work."

Sakai Izumi tilted her head and thought for a moment. A day was indeed a good amount of time.

However, she immediately thought of her own fame and quickly waved her hand in denial.

"It still won't work. If we go with the kids, it will be too easy to expose Kei-chan's special nature."

"Well, yes, it was my oversight."

He scratched his head awkwardly, then said embarrassedly.

"Then let's do it as a family again this time. Next time, I'll participate in a similar activity organized by the school, and then we can both participate in similar activities organized by the group."

Xinghai Group holds numerous events every year, which naturally include family-friendly programs.

Takeshita Kei is about the right age, so he can selectively participate in some activities.

"Okay, it's up to you."

For the next week, the two of them played with her every day, which made the little girl extremely happy. She was so happy that she didn't want to go back to kindergarten.

"Oh, you don't want to share your experience with your friends?"

"Well, that's fine."

After much deliberation, Takeshita Kei finally decided to go to the kindergarten first.

It can only be said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother, who saw through her daughter's vain nature at a glance.

No, it should be said that no child dislikes showing off.

This is a neutral matter, but parents need to provide positive guidance.

Because inappropriate boasting can easily escalate into bullying of peers.

After a week, Masato Takeshita did not take any more rest.

Upon returning to the company, he took a moment to adjust before immediately summoning the secretary-general to his office.

"Uchida-san, could you please call the HR manager over here?"

"Hi!"

Miho Uchida slowly left the office, and then immediately called the head of the human resources department of Xinghai Group.

"Minister Sato, the chairman invites you to his office."

"Yes, Secretary-General Uchida, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Sato Aoji immediately put down his work and hurriedly took the elevator to Takeshita Masato's floor.

"I'm sorry to have kept Secretary-General Uchida waiting."

"Not at all, Minister Sato, you're too kind."

After exchanging a few polite pleasantries, Sato Aoji asked in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.

"Um, does the president have any new instructions?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that, but the president seems quite calm."

Father, like son.

Miho Uchida understood Takeshita Masato's true situation far better than he did himself.

This is why so many people fall for honey traps, even knowing the perpetrators are criminals.

The other party really understands him too well; everything they do is to his liking.

For example, if you enjoy playing video games, then if the other side wants to use a seductive tactic, they'll send a gaming expert. The two of you will have countless topics to discuss, just like true confidants.

"Thank you, thank you Secretary-General Uchida."

Although Miho Uchida's words sounded somewhat nonsensical, Aoji Sato felt reassured.

He was a smart man and quickly understood what was going on.

The president claimed it was simply a work-related issue, not an attempt to subtly persuade the person to leave.

As Takeshita Masato said "Please come in," Sato Aoji respectfully walked to the subordinate's seat directly opposite the desk.

"President, you called me."

"Yes, this way, sit down."

Masato Takeshita stood up from his chair and then looked at Miho Uchida.

"Uchida-san, go brew a pot of fresh tea."

"Hi!"

After the two had drunk tea for a while, Masato Takeshita finally began to talk about what he had to do.

"Has this year's recruitment plan been finalized?"

"Yes, this year we expect to recruit 6.6 graduates, 2.4 experienced hires, and 2000 people for personal connections, for a total of 9.2."

Sato Aoji was completely relieved this time; it turned out he wanted to ask about the recruitment.

"I didn't expect they'd be hiring so many people this year?"

Masato Takeshita was filled with emotion, realizing how much the Xinghai Group had grown without him even noticing.

But think about it,

Putting aside everything else, Xinghai Technology alone needs to recruit a large number of new employees.

Because whether it's Xinghai Electronics' mobile phone and computer division, Xinghai Chip's memory and flash memory chips, Xinghai Wafer's various inch wafer fabs, or Xinghai Manufacturing's electronic manufacturing business, all are expanding rapidly.

Similarly, at Xinghai Life, the food department alone has more than doubled in size.

As for companies like Xinghai Software, Xinghai Communications, and Xinghai Panel, they are naturally no exception.

Xinghai Group is now a huge, man-eating monster, and every sector needs more talent to fill it.

"Yes, all the major companies are constantly expanding their business and need a lot of new employees."

Sato Aoji spoke with pride, because Xinghai Group alone could recruit about 10% of all university graduates in Japan this year.

It can be said that Xinghai Group has made the greatest contribution to solving the employment problem for Japanese university students.

Of course, despite the meteoric rise of the Xinghai Group, the employment prospects for Japanese university students remain not very optimistic.

The semiconductor and internet-related industries are not yet developed enough to accommodate too many university graduates.

"Well, if that's the case, then I think my arrangements should be even more secure."

The young man muttered something to himself, then gave instructions to Sato Aoji.

"This year's graduates, if any are from China, will be given priority in admission, as long as their major is not bad."

"Prioritizing Chinese graduates?"

Sato Aoji didn't understand why. Shouldn't locals be given priority in admissions?
With the economy in such a difficult situation, where are there so many good jobs to give to foreigners?

"Yes, priority will be given to Chinese graduates currently enrolled in Japanese universities."

Masato Takeshita repeated himself, and then explained why to his subordinates.

Xinghai Group's investment in China is increasing year by year, but it is severely lacking in employees who understand the situation in both China and Japan.

These students who traveled from China to Japan were a perfect fit for the Xinghai Group.

Whether they choose to return to China in the future or continue to stay in Japan, Xinghai Group needs them very much.

"Yes, Chairman, I understand."

Sato Seiji immediately realized the truth when he thought about the company's investments in China.

The company does indeed lack talent in this area and needs to train them as soon as possible.
