Chapter 1181. Short Series A Human Success Part 4
So far, you only evaluate people based on your instincts, saying that the other person is suspicious and the like Jii-chan speaks to me. Of course, instinct is valuable. I don’t trust people who my instinct says that they’re different, and I don’t let them get close to me again Umu, that applies to me too Kira, the old man who’s already 80 years old and is a monk, and yet, his white hair is still thick, nodded. However, if it’s a person that’s introduced to you, then you need a clear reason to reject them. The referrer won’t accept the reason that you felt that they’re suspicious Oh, I see. There’s the honor of the referrer that says please meet this person to Jii-chan. You have to make it clear to the other party why Yazawa did the meeting instead of me, and why he judged that they’re not good people. The referrer could’ve been deceived by that person as well after all Oh yeah, bad guys could just go after Jii-chan’s acquaintance in the nobility, or enterprise managers and deceive them. Then, expanding from that, they could make Jii-chan their next target. You have to make it clear and easy to understand when conveying the problem with a person Jii-chan said. Otherwise, if the other party is a villain, they’ll spread their self-serving stories such as The Kouzuki house are hard headed-people, or The person in charge was incapable of understanding my proposal, or They were jealous because I was too competent For bad guys, being able to contact the Kouzuki house can be used to advertise their skills. Even if Jii-chan didn’t meet them and Yazawa-san kicked them off. They can tell people around them that the Kouzuki house is stupid, they can’t understand what I’m proposing That’s why your assessment has to be distinct. It felt suspicious, can be translated as It just happened that the person in charge in the Kouzuki house wasn’t feeling well I see. It’s the same when it comes to subordinates Old man Kira speaks up. If you’re to own the Kouzuki SS, then you need to be clear with your instructions to the people in the company. Saying That person is suspicious, will only confuse your subordinates. You have to be clear what’s that suspicion you’re feeling Indeed. If your instructions are unclear, your subordinates will ask What do we do? and become unable to decide Jii-chan said. Yeah got it I replied. By the way, the meeting time will be in fifteen minutes. Don’t take more than that. If the other party just wants to talk, then it’s a waste of time. Umu, Kouzuki’s right. You can see what kind of person the other party is when you talk to them for fifteen minutes. No, you have to If you don’t set a time limit like that, you’ll end up spending your life listening to people all the time The two old men told me. For now, you can sit together with Yazawa during the meeting. Whatever the circumstances may be, I won’t ask you to go in there alone Oh, that helps. It’s a little scary to have me, a high-school boy meet with people who want a meeting with Jii-chan by myself. Please take care of me, Yazawa-san I bow my head to Yazawa-san. Please do, Yazawa Yes, Kakka Yazawa-san replied to Jii-chan Then, go to the lower floor. There’s already a visitor requesting to meet me today Umu, we’ll be watching here Jii-chan and old man Kira said. Normally, this is left to Yazawa-san. Jii-chan doesn’t go watch on the cameras. I knew it. It’s a test. Then, let’s go Yazawa-san called me. Yes, let’s I bowed to the two old men and stood up. Where are you going? Agnes looked at me from the table near the window and said. We’re about to eat parfait I’ll go meet some guests on the lower floor. I’ll be back soon I said. Then, Agnes won’t eat parfait and wait Err. You’re only on the lower floor for fifteen or twenty minutes, right? So, we’ll predict the time the room service comes in so we can eat when you come back Katsuko-nee said with a smile. It’s not delicious unless we’re all together! Agnes. You want to eat the deluxe parfait too, right? Oh, should I ask for hot tea instead? It’s Shige-chan’s treat after all Katsuko-nee asked Jii-chan jokingly. Whichever pleases you, I’ll ask for coffee Then, I’ll take coffee too Old man Kira said. Yes, certainly. Then let’s order together Katsuko-nee goes to the phone in the room. Sensei, should Luna and I go with you? Yomi asked worriedly. Well, having the girls with Miko power will be reassuring, but. This is my test, so. Thanks, But, you girls should stay here I refused Yomi. Uhm, Kuromori-sama. Good luck Koyomi-chan told me. Don’t be surprised, okay? Hmm? Oh right. Koyomi-chan already knew who Jii-chan’s making me meet up with. Meaning, the other party is someone famous enough that this 12-year-old girl knows them? Don’t. Koyomi-chan. That’s enough hints. Don’t hinder the fun of the two old men Katsuko-nee says while taking the phone. Anyway, we’re going. We’ll be back I told everyone, then bowed to Jii-chan again. Then I left the room with Yazawa-san. Still, you look so normal and yet, you’re so absurd Yazawa-san smiled at me when we entered the corridor. From our investigation, the girls with the blood of the Takakura shrine maidens are all mentally unstable. And yet, you stabilized them completely Huh? Seki-kun’s reporting to me periodically. So Kakka decided to sponsor those mentally stable girls, and that’s why he’s here today He’s talking about the old man. If not, that cautious man would never want the shrine maidens to be in the same room as him. It seems that he’s amusing himself with you Meaning, that old man Kira came over just to watch this test? Oh, I shouldn’t think about it now. Let’s focus on what I have on hand. Even this could just be a trap from Yazawa-san to distract me. Yazawa-san’s coming with me to do the meetup with the person who wanted a meeting with Jii-chan, but. He’s not my ally here. Yazawa-san is also one of the examiners. So, about this meeting. I asked Yazawa-san as he presses the button on the elevator hall. Let’s see. I’ll do the greetings firsts. Then, you can do what you want Yazawa-san said lightly. Well, you can’t assume how the other party will behave. So, do what you need. Just adapt to the situation Right. I’m the one meeting the person who wanted to see Jii-chan. I can’t know the reaction of that person until I meet up with them So, are you not going to ask me who are we meeting? Yazawa-san looked at me. Will you tell me if I asked? I wonder about that Yazawa-san smiled. Then no need. I can assume that it’s a well-known person, but, I don’t want to be dragged y the image I already have on that person. I want to value that raw feeling from the time we meet after all I replied. If I know who the other person is, then I’ll make put myself on guard. I’ll overlook a lot of things from the first impression stage already. I see. Then I won’t tell you The elevator’s arrived. I followed Yazawa inside. Yazawa-san pressed the button three floors below. The elevator closed and went down. Immediately after, the door opens. Oh, this floor’s just like a normal hotel guest floor. I don’t see any uniformed guards from Kouzuki SS I mean, there’s nobody in this brightly lit corridor. Let’s go Yazawa-san urged me. Then, we arrived in front of one of the guest rooms. You can talk to an intercom in this guest room it seems. Yazawa-san pressed the switch. Yes? A voice comes from the intercom. This is Yazawa from Kouzuki SS The door opened immediately. Click. We’ve been waiting A man wearing a gray suit.I don’t know him. Or rather, it’s not him. I think he’s the secretary or bodyguard. The person who wanted to meet Jii-chan is probably inside the room. And this one is? The secretary-like guy looked at me and asked Yazawa-san. That’s not for you to know Yazawa-san replied sullenly. I’m very sorry. Come in The secretary invites us to the room. Excuse us I said just in case. Then followed Yazawa-san the room. Then, the door closed behind us. Oh, this room isn’t even half the size of Jii-chan’s room upstairs. This is a hotel guest room, and yet, there’s no bed. But in exchange, there’s an executive table. So, this is probably a private room for secret talks. And now. At the back of the room, a man wearing a blue suit is facing the window, turning his back on us. Huh? I think I’ve seen this guy. Sensei, Yazawa-sama from Kouzuki SS has come Umu This is a small room so he should’ve known that we’re here, and yet. He’s the type who makes this kind of skit on purpose. The man in a blue suit slowly faced us. Thank you for coming today He bows to Yazawa-san. Oh, this guy. If I recall, he’s a politician. He used to be a cultural celebrity and a commentator on TV for some years. Then, after that, he became a candidate for prefectural governor somewhere. Err. Ah, I’m Murata Hideo Yeah, that. Murata Hideo. Man, I’m glad I didn’t ask for any information before going in. Governor Murata’s much smaller than he is on TV. I didn’t care about it on TV, but that blue suit of his is quite high-class. The cloth is different. His necktie is probably an Italian brand too. Also, the stink. What’s this? Hairstyle? No, that’s not it. I think that he’s poured some men’s perfume on him. You can’t find something this raw on TV. Also, he’s much older than he was on TV. I mean, when you’re on TV, you can use make-up to make yourself younger. If I recall, this guy’s in his mid-forties. I’m Yazawa from Kouzuki SS Yazawa-san greets with a straight face. And, who is this boy Governor Murata looked at me. A relative of Kakka Yazawa-san replied just that. I intuitively thought that it’s better if I shouldn’t name myself. It’s better not to bring the name Kuromori to a former entertainer turned politician. Excuse me I said and bowed
