Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

September [-]th.

"Clannad After Story" was released as scheduled.

Kato Yusuke had just finished taking the entrance 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 porting of the home console platform, but he bumped into Mishima Yuba.

The other party's eyes were red, and he was obviously taken aback when he saw him, and then called "Boss" with a forced smile, and walked away quickly with his head down.

Kato Yusuke was a little confused about the situation, opened the door and entered the personal office, and found that Yoshida inside also had a sad face.

The person involved was sitting in his seat and puffing away the smoke. When he saw him enter the door, he reflexively extinguished the cigarette, and got 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 home game consoles."

Yoshida was slightly taken aback, and immediately answered.

"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, and asked again: "Then what happened to Ms. Mishima? Did you two quarrel?"

Yoshida opened his mouth, and said to him from left to right: "... What happened to Mishima? I don't know."

"Haha." Kato Yusuke said with a broken smile: "Mr. Yoshida, you really can't lie, has no one told you that your performance when you are guilty is actually quite obvious?"

Yoshida's face was tense, and he said with a serious smile: "...What are you lying about? I don't understand what you are talking about. If you are fine, I will continue working?"

"Yo, you still chased someone?" Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, trying to leave, "Okay, why don't you say so? Then I'll go ask Ms. Mishima directly."

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

Yusuke Kato said plausibly: "I saw Ms. Mishima crying when I just came in. As a boss, I need to appease the emotions of the employees and confirm whether the employees have been harassed by authority."

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

"Misunderstanding?" Kato Yusuke blinked and put on an expression of wanting to hear more, "What misunderstanding? Tell me about it."

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

"Who said that? Like I said just now, being considerate of subordinates is also part of the job of the boss."

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

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile, and said jokingly:

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

Yoshida's eyes widened in astonishment, "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 with ease, his handsome face showed a cynical vigor, and his demeanor was leisurely.

Yoshida couldn't help but be impressed by his handsomeness, he was slightly taken aback, and then thought something evil in his heart, and clicked his tongue a little unhappily.

"Well, I'm unlucky to have a boss like you who doesn't do business properly. Don't you just want to hear about me and Mishima? Let me tell you it's over, right?"

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

"Damn it, don't go too far, kid!" Yoshida sat down while complaining, and explained the ins and outs in a gentle manner.

In short, he caught up with Yuzuha Mishima after a quarrel with his old colleague that day, and sent him home.

There is still nothing to say about the matter here, the problem is that he accidentally said something too much today, thinking that they shouldn't make the relationship with their former colleagues so stiff.

Mishima Yuba became angry on the spot, only felt that her sincerity fed the dog, and lost her temper at him, so there was the scene that Kato Yusuke had just seen.

After listening, Kato Yusuke frowned, and asked: "Mr. Yoshida, what do you think? Others even don't hesitate to lose face in order to protect you. Is your attitude very problematic?"

Yoshida smiled wryly.

"Of course I know... To be honest, I am also very touched that she can do that for me, but won't Mishima be unable to associate 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 Ms. Mishima is angry with others, but because she is guilty of doing this for you?"

"Yes." Yoshida sighed and nodded.

"Anyway, I'm a thick-skinned person, and it doesn't matter if a few words are said by Minister Onozaka, but Mishima's reputation and interpersonal relationship will definitely be affected."

Kato Yusuke is both funny and helpless.

"I don't know much about what you were like in your previous company, Mr. Yoshida, but even if you disagree with Ms. Mishima's actions, it's not worth telling others in person, right?"

Yoshida nodded depressedly, glanced at the public office outside through the glass, touched his nose and whispered:
"...And what's more, I don't know if I'm overthinking, but I always feel that Mishima's attitude towards me seems a bit strange."

"Oh? What's strange?"

"Well, it's just that she seems to have that kind of meaning towards me..."

"Oh~~~"

Kato Yusuke nodded knowingly, and said not at all strangely: "Are you referring to the fact that Ms. Mishima likes you?"

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

Kato Yusuke tried his best to suppress a smile, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, don't waste your time, our voices can't be heard outside... Besides, it is basically a recognized fact in the company that Ms. Mishima likes you, but you are too slow to see it. "

"--What did you say!?"

Yoshida was stunned for a moment, opened and closed his mouth, unable to speak for a long while.

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

After all, this matter is someone else's private matter, and he can't get involved too much, and let Yoshida worry about the rest.

I casually wrote about Fate's plan, and after spending a while, the office door was suddenly "knocked".

"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 who came was Jun Matsumoto, so he nodded and responded, "Come in and sit, 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, there's nothing special about it. I just recently discovered that there are some things that need to be improved in our studio's working system, so I want to give you some feedback."

"Is there anything worth improving?"

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

Kato Yusuke picked it up without knowing it, turned to the corresponding page according to the instructions, and found that there were a lot of things written on it, and it covered a wide range.

For example, employees should formulate detailed daily work plans according to their own conditions to improve work efficiency.

For example, employees should fill out the daily report before leaving get off work and report to their department leaders so that they have a clear understanding and planning of their work.

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

After flipping through several pages in a row, the content is basically similar, and it belongs to the feeling that form is greater than substance, which is quite dispensable.

Kato Yusuke didn't find any bright spots from the above, but he didn't intend to refute the enthusiasm of others because of this trivial matter, so he asked after thinking: "What does Kano say about these things?"

Matsumoto Jun was taken aback by the question, "Huh? What do you say?"

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

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

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

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

"You said."

"That's right. I heard people say that Minister Yoshida seems to have the company's stock rewards. Is there such a thing?"

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

Matsumoto Jun's eyes moved slightly, and he tentatively asked: "Then I want 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 euphemistically, Kato Yusuke still understood what he wanted to express, and couldn't help but squinted his eyes slightly for a moment.

"Richard, you have only been in the company for less than a month, don't you think it is too early to inquire about this question? But since you have 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 make contributions badly, and you don’t need to think so much about other things. Do you understand when I say this? "

Matsumoto Jun nodded in understanding, still with that smiling expression, no emotion could be seen on his face.

……

That's how it went for about a week.

"Tomodai AS" is also gradually approaching the final stage, and the rest only needs to replace all the art resources of the final version, and then do a bug test to press the plate.

However, at this juncture, Shimamura, who was in charge of art work, suddenly fell ill and said he wanted to ask for three days off.

Ying Lili didn't think too much, and agreed very simply. After all, three days is not a long time, and there won't be too much work backlog. As long as the backlog is a little tighter, she can catch up.

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

On the first day, Shimamura told her that she went to see a doctor and said she had a cold and needed to rest.

The next day, no news.

On the third day, there was no news.

Then came the fourth and fifth days, when Shimamura neither came back to work nor heard from him.

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

She didn't understand what went wrong, so she could only assign the work to Mayu Sagara and the other two artists, otherwise she would not be able to keep up with the schedule.

However, the two painters didn't know whether they were in a bad state or they were too nervous. The quality of the art resources they handed over was not very good, and basically none of them were usable.

As a result, she and Xiangle Mayu had to free up their hands to assist the two people in reworking, and in the end, even the work in hand was delayed.

Seeing more and more work and no news from Shimamura, Eriri finally couldn't bear the anxiety and came to Yusuke Kato for help.

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

As a result, Jun Matsumoto also looked kept in the dark, saying that he had never received contact from Shimamura, and he didn't know what happened.

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

Kato Yusuke immediately noticed the clue, and couldn't help but his face darkened, and asked word by word: "Richard, I need a reasonable explanation, what's the matter with Shimamura?"

Jun Matsumoto 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 for a few days to recuperate, and he should be back soon."

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

Matsumoto Jun was shocked, he didn't expect his temper to be so violent, subconsciously wanted to ask for mercy, but Kato Yusuke spoke first——

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

Sensitively aware of the danger in his tone, Jun Matsumoto swallowed the words back into his throat, squeezed out a smile and answered no.

Kato Yusuke stared closely at his eyes, his voice was so cold that it seemed that even the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.

"Richard, don't blame me for not giving you face. I'll put my ugly words up front. If anyone of your people treats me like this next time, then everyone will get out. OK?"

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

"...OK, boss."
