Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Ok?

He said something wrong.

Why is the favorability still decreasing?

Divine gold.

Kitano Chiaki on the opposite side just hummed and didn't say anything.

Xiu Xing thought for a moment and continued, "No wonder you stayed in the bookstore reading yesterday. You have a very literary temperament. You are a good match for our Classical Literature Department."

[Target person Kitano Chiaki's favorability -2]

“Who’s your favorite author to read?”

"Look at them all."

"My favorite novel is 'The Tale of the Heike' by Shinano Maeji. It tells the story of..." Hideyuki said while secretly observing Kitano Chiaki's expression.

[Target person Kitano Chiaki's favorability -3]

Sure enough, after he said a few words, a hint of impatience flashed across Kitano Chiaki's face, but she suppressed it forcefully.

"Watanabe-san, um... I have something else to do..." Kitano Chiaki found an excuse and turned to leave.

Before she left, Watanabe Hideyuki waved to her happily and said, "You go and do your work first... Remember to come to the department often..."

[Target person Kitano Chiaki's favorability -3]

boom.

There was a sound of the door of the club activity room being slammed shut from the outside.

Cool.

It feels so damn good.

It turns out that it is such a refreshing thing to say something even though you know the other person doesn't want to hear it.

Watanabe Hideyuki made up his mind that the next time he saw Kitano Chiaki, he would talk to her more about some schools of Japanese literary history and his own views on these.

No need to thank him.

As a gentleman in Kyoto, it is his duty to enthusiastically help his classmates improve their Chinese language skills.

"Senior..." Yuka next to him looked at him with some confusion, and then whispered in Hideyuki's ear, "Senior, do you like Chiaki-senpai? Why are you so enthusiastic?"

"No, don't talk nonsense." Xiuxing waved his hands repeatedly, looking nervous, "Don't let anyone hear you say this."

"Senior, are you afraid that Senior Chiaki will find out in advance, so your confession failed?"

"I'm afraid that one day we will be sunk into Tokyo Bay and the Classical Literature Department will be disbanded." Hideyuki said with a look of horror.

To protect the Classical Literature Department.

Yuka hid this secret deep in her heart.

......

Kyoto Prefecture.

Zhongjing District.

GF Corporate Office.

A tense yet orderly atmosphere permeated the air. The latest project progress and meeting notices were constantly scrolling on the electronic display screen, and around it were rows of neatly arranged desks piled with various documents and materials.

Some employees in suits and ties were concentrating on their work, their fingers tapping quickly on the keyboards, making crisp and rhythmic sounds.

In the corridor, people were hurrying around holding folders or laptops, looking serious and focused. The atmosphere became even more solemn as the telephones rang one after another and short conversations were heard from time to time.

“Signed.”

Suddenly, a man sitting in the center put down the phone and shouted to the audience.

The whole audience fell into a brief silence, as if time was paused at this moment.

All the employees who were busy working stopped what they were doing and looked at the man in the center in unison, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Signed?" Someone couldn't help but repeat it, with a tremor in his voice.

The man smiled and nodded. The fatigue and tension on his face disappeared, replaced by full confidence and joy.

He held up his phone, stood on the table, displayed the message he had just sent, and said loudly: "Yes, we signed it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

The employees hugged and high-fived each other and threw the waste paper in their hands into the air. The waste paper flew in the air like snowflakes, igniting the originally tense and orderly atmosphere.

The man standing in the middle pressed his hands down, signaling for silence.

Gradually, the cheers and applause faded, and the employees all looked at him, waiting for his next instructions.

The man took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Signing this project is only the first step. Whether we can successfully complete this project in the future is crucial..."

"but..."

Having said this, the man suddenly stretched out his voice.

"Today, all employees on site will have their bonuses doubled this month! Leave work early tonight and have a departmental dinner, which will be reimbursed by the company!"

Leave work early.

Dinner.

Prize money doubled.

Each of these words is more magical than the other.

The moment the man finished speaking, the employees burst into warm applause and cheers again, even more excited than when they learned that the project had been signed.

"Long live GF!"

"Long live GF!"

The deafening sound seemed to blow the roof off the entire office.

The man standing in the middle quietly climbed down from the table, took the documents on the table and walked towards the manager's office on the sixth floor.

bang bang.

After knocking on the door twice, a clear female voice came from inside: "Come in."

The man pushed open the door, lowered his head and placed the documents and mobile phone in his hand on the woman's desk.

"Have you signed it?" The woman lowered her head and carefully read the contents of the document.

"Yeah." The man nodded.

"How many?"

"It was the profit-sharing ratio that was drawn up at the initial meeting, and we also discussed the adaptation rights and overseas distribution rights of the other party's work."

"Well done." The woman nodded.

"What did Yoshida Company say?"

"Their people are much slower than us. I guess they will feel as upset as if they had eaten a dead fly when they heard the news of the signing."

GF Company and Yoshida Company have always been old rivals.

As some of the most important brokerage companies in Japan, they have been quarreling with each other behind the scenes for a long time.

The cake is only this big. If he wants to have a bite, he will have to go hungry.

Recently, in order to sign the "Japanese national girl" who has unexpectedly become popular on the Internet, the two companies have resorted to a lot of shady tricks.

"Haha." The woman chuckled.

Only at this point did the man dare to raise his head. After just one glance at the woman, he quietly swallowed his saliva, then lowered his head in panic.

The woman in front of me had a body that was so explosive that it was unfair. Her professional OL outfit was barely enough to fulfill her job and was pushed aside, with the white shirt underneath bulging high.

The buttons on the shirt collar were so tight that they seemed to be whining and might break at any time.

Against this backdrop, the waist appears exceptionally slender, making one wonder how such a waist can support the huge thing above.

Further down, the slender and well-proportioned thighs are exposed outside the desk, tightly wrapped in black stockings, making people want to tear them apart to see the secrets hidden behind.

"I just ordered that the bonuses of all employees this month be doubled, and that they leave work early tonight for a dinner party at the office."

"It's my duty. Thank you for your hard work." The woman replied without even looking up. "Triple it. The PR and Planning departments will have a meeting tomorrow to build momentum for that girl."

"Hai."

Chapter 40 Life is like a journey

"

"Shiori, I finally found you."

The Ullambana Festival in July is extremely lively, with crowds of people bustling about, and the sounds of hawking, chatting and laughter are endless, like streams rushing in from all directions and converging here to form a long river.

The boy and the girl looked at each other, with only each other in their eyes.

Accompanied by sharp explosions, the fireworks streaked across the sky like meteors. They stayed in the sky for a moment, as if waiting for something.

The boy walked forward and took the girl's hand.

In an instant, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and colorful sparks flew everywhere, like flowers scattered by a fairy, illuminating the girl's pretty face.

"Idiot, who asked you to look for it?" The girl tiptoed gently and spoke viciously in the boy's ear. The hot air she exhaled seemed to melt the boy's heart.

"I like you, Shiori." The boy looked straight at the girl and finally said the words buried deep in his heart.

The girl was a little flustered by the boy's directness. She blushed and didn't dare to look at the boy. She could only lower her head slightly and look at her toes, muttering, "Che is really a pervert. How can he be so straightforward?"

"I fell in love with Shiori from the first moment I saw her, but I was a coward and didn't dare to express my feelings to her, fearing that we would no longer be friends, so I could only silently bless her behind her back." The boy took a deep breath and continued speaking amid the noisy crowd and fireworks, "But not long ago I realized that Shiori had already integrated into my life."

"I can't imagine a future without Shiori. I can't stand it for even a minute or a second."

"Even if this confession will become a joke in Shiori's mouth, I am willing to do it." The boy mustered up his last bit of courage, closed his eyes, and asked the question he had asked countless times in his dreams, "Shiori, are you willing to date me?"

The boy felt that the whole world was quiet.

For a long time, I was speechless.
