"Hurry up, hurry up, try this set again." Thor kept moving his hands, still trying to recall the fashion magazines he had read, trying to find a few clothes suitable for important meetings from Subaru's taste .

However, Thor obviously overestimated Subaru's dressing taste...

ah?Clothes, as long as they look pleasing to the eye and are comfortable to wear—yes, this is Subaru's usual style.

However, after trying and trying, I finally chose Subaru's first outfit, jeans and a T-shirt. Although it is not suitable for such a serious meeting to discuss the company's acquisition, it is better than wearing big pants and a vest. Say yes.

"So, what's the point of your choosing for so long..." Subaru spread his hands.

"It's not that the clothes Subaru bought are not suitable, can you blame me?" Thor pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay, I have to leave quickly, I can't be late for this kind of thing."

"Wait." Thor thought for a while, and stopped Subaru who was about to go out. "By the way, the acquisition company you mentioned should be buying something. Is Subaru enough money?"

"Money—" Subaru thought about it. "It should be enough. Mr. Editor should have considered my financial situation before introducing that company to me."

"Oh... But, if it's not enough, Subaru can come to me. According to Fafnir, gold seems to be quite valuable in this world. Anyway, Fafnir said that his gold can't be filled in the entire cave. When the time comes, I'll bring some over."

"Haha, thank you, Thor." Subaru smiled and patted Thor's head. "Okay, okay, I'm leaving, or I should be late."

Hurry up and change your clothes--of course, when Thor is out, although the latter is very reluctant.Subaru rushed to the appointed place in a hurry, and Kenjiro was already waiting there. As an intermediary, Kenjiro agreed to Subaru's request for help.

"Yo—Boss, you really don't rush. I've been waiting for you here for an hour." Seeing Subaru running over, Kenjiro poked his head out of the driver's seat and teased.

"Look, look at me like this—" Subaru pointed to himself, and it took him a long time to catch his breath. "Look at me like this, don't you seem to be in a hurry?!"

"Haha, let's get in the car. It's not long before the agreed time. If we start now, we should be able to arrive just in time."

"it is good."

More than an hour later, Kenjiro and Subaru appeared in front of a building—but in terms of grandeur, it was far less impressive than Dengeki Bunko.

"Is it here?" Subaru looked carefully. Judging from the appearance, Subaru felt that the company wasn't too bad, but he didn't know why it got into a serious financial crisis.

"Go in." Kenjiro greeted and walked in first.

When I walked to the front desk, I was supposed to greet every staff member who came to the company with a full spirit, but now I dozed off.

Kenjiro knocked on the table to try to wake her up, but the front desk clerk seemed to be addicted to fishing and couldn't extricate himself. Kenjiro knocked his hands red and she still showed no sign of waking up.

"...Hello, can you hear me?!" In desperation, Kenjiro had no choice but to push her shoulder directly, and the latter shook like a startled cat, staring at Kenjiro with wide eyes , but Kenjiro was taken aback. Subaru, who saw this from behind, covered his mouth and laughed.

"I'm really sorry!", the clerk at the front desk stammered an apology. "Hello, sir! Welcome to Huiling Company, what can you do?"

Although a bit off-line, this sleepy lady clerk has done a good job of etiquette... Kenjiro nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Toki Kenjiro, and I have an appointment with the president. The time is Ten o'clock sharp."

"Please wait a moment—" said Miss Clerk, flipping through the document. "Ah, hello Mr. Toki, the president is in the office now, just go to him directly."

"Excuse me." Kenjiro nodded politely and gave Subaru a look.The two had already boarded the elevator to the fifth floor.

"I think, I can probably guess why this company has become like this." In the elevator, Subaru squeezed his chin and said speculatively.

"Huh? Is it because of the front desk?"

"Yes, even if I don't know much about the company, I know that the front desk at least symbolizes the spirit of a company. For example, the front desk of Dengeki Bunko has always done a good job, but this..."

"Well... it's no wonder they are there." Kenjiro raised his head, as if he was thinking about something. "After all, this company has been in a downturn for a long time. Basically, no one visits this company, just like an old man who is dying. No wonder the employees have no energy."

Subaru nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked Kenjiro: "Speaking of which, has this company also applied to Dengeki Bunko for the animation production rights of "Harumono"?"

"Applied." Kenjiro nodded. "It's just... you know, under the competition of other big companies, these small companies have no place at all, unless you are willing to put all your eggs in one basket, but they are bosses, not gamblers."

Subaru rested his chin on his hand, thoughtfully.Not long after, the ding-dong sound of the elevator arriving interrupted Subaru's thoughts.

"Let's go." Kenjiro walked towards the president's office with Subaru. Kenjiro had already visited once before, so he seemed to be familiar with the road.

"Hello, President." After knocking on the door and entering, Kenjiro greeted the president.

"Hello, Mr. Toki." The president nodded, then turned his attention to Subaru, and suddenly frowned, a little unkind. "You won't tell me that this is the person you said you want to talk to me about the acquisition of the company, Mr. Toki, although our company is in a recession, you don't think I have the mood to joke with you like this Bar?!"

"No, no, president, you misunderstood. How could I just joke about such an important matter." Kenjiro signaled the president to be calm. "The one next to me, if you say the name, you should be very familiar with it—"

Receiving Kenjiro's gaze, Subaru took a step forward and bowed slightly, introducing himself: "Hi, President, my name is Hasegawa Subaru, I am a light novel writer, and my pen name is Sakamoto, please give me your advice."

"Sakamoto?" The president immediately stood up and stared at Subaru. "The author of "Spring Things", Sakamoto?"

"Yes."

"So it's you." The president sat back down again, with a lonely expression on his face. "If it was you, maybe you really have the financial resources to buy our company."

After a pause, the president drank the tea on the table and walked out of the office.

"Come with me, let's talk about the details of the acquisition."

Chapter 179 Meeting

Surprisingly, the meeting didn't last long. One side was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy. With the middleman Kenjiro on the sidelines to adjust and weigh, Subaru and the president quickly reached a consensus, and the two made an appointment for a formal handover in the afternoon.

"Please treat my former company well, and I hope it can flourish in your hands. Please, President Hasegawa." When he walked out of the room, the president—no, the former president said to Subaru bowed and spoke sincerely.

"Of course, I won't let it be buried." Subaru also bowed.

After that, at the kind invitation of the former president, several people had lunch, and then the former president quickly completed all the relevant procedures, and the two officially handed over, which will take effect from today.

"Haha, President Hasegawa, he suddenly became the president." In the car, Kenjiro joked. "Now it looks like I'm the president's job-changing driver. How about it, is President Hasegawa interested in hiring me as a driver? I have very low salary requirements."

Subaru smiled, and followed Kenjiro's words: "I don't mind at all if the editor can give up his job and become my driver. Of course, if the editor can bear the ridiculously low salary I offer."

"Hahaha, then I'll just be my editor honestly, at least for now it's an equal relationship. If I really become a driver, I have to politely call you the president every time I meet, how boring it would be!"

"That's right, maybe the editor will need to bring me tea and water at that time."

After finishing speaking, the two laughed together, as if they were close friends.

...-

The next day.

"Hey, I heard that we have a new president?!"

"Yes, yes, there have long been news that our company did not develop well, and then it was acquired."

"Does Huimei know about this? After all, you are the front desk."

"Huh? Me? I don't know. Only a few people came to the company yesterday. It seems like this."

"Hee hee hee, Xiaomei is probably dozing off again, she was told a lesson by the president last time, and she doesn't have a long memory—"

"No, no!"

"Quiet! The president should be here soon." The manager lowered his voice and shouted to the back.

At this time, at the request of the manager, all the employees of Huiling Company gathered at the front desk, ready to welcome the new president who suddenly popped up.

At this time, our president——

"Ahhhhh!!!!!!"

Screaming on the back of a dragon...

"Okay, Subaru, we're here." Thor turned into a human form and said to Subaru with a smile.

"No, wait a minute, let me take it easy." Subaru leaned against the wall, calmed down, and gradually calmed down his violently beating heart.Every time was like riding a roller coaster, Subaru felt that if he continued like this, he would have a heart attack sooner or later.

"Okay, let's go."

"Ok!"

A few minutes later, Subaru and Thor appeared at the gate of Huiling Company.

"Here we come! Is that the president?"

"You're lying! The president looks like a high school student! No, isn't the president a high school student?!"

"Well—why, I feel like I've seen him somewhere—"

"Stop arguing, that's the president." The manager spoke again. When assets are transferred, as a manager, of course, you have to get to know the new president.

Pushing open the door, Subaru walked in with Thor, and within a few steps, all the people at the front desk greeted them. Heads are covered with brightly colored strips of paper.

"preparation--"

"Please teach me a lot, President!!!"

"Ah, eh—" Subaru was shocked by this posture, and then reacted, the corners of his mouth raised. "From now on, everyone, please give me more advice!"

The manager took the lead in applauding, and with the applause, everyone ushered Subaru in.

The happy welcome time is over, and the first meeting held by the new president may not be so happy.

The middle and upper-level cadres of Huiling Company gathered in the conference room, their expressions tense, and some people were whispering from time to time, inadvertently glanced at the still vacant chief position.

As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office. This sentence is also very suitable for a company. The new president took office and immediately held a meeting. It must be a drastic rectification of the company. A sense of crisis.

"I've been waiting for a long time." After a while, Subaru pushed open the door of the meeting room, walked straight to the chief seat, and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him with nervous expressions, Subaru was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Everyone, don't be too nervous, it's just a daily meeting, because I just took over our company, so I don't know much about the company. Familiar, can someone please tell me about the current situation of the company?"

"Yes." The manager raised his hand and stood up immediately. "As you can see, the current situation of the company... is not optimistic. A few days ago, the two animations produced by our company at a large cost did not achieve corresponding results in the market, and even half of the expected value was not achieved. These two blows have caused problems in the company's turnover, and with the lessons learned from the past, there have been several cooperations that are sure to be obtained without success, and the company is even at the point where there is no animation to do..."

Uh--sounds like a serious one.Subaru scratched his cheek: "Then, what do you guys think about the future development of our company?"

The entire conference room fell silent, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up.

"Everyone, although this is a daily meeting, from the manager's mouth, you also understand the current situation of the company. Therefore, if you have any useful suggestions for the future development of the company, please don't hesitate to put them forward! We are a group, now The meeting is also discussing how to save our company!"

"President, I think." The manager stood up again. "The most urgent thing is to find works that are enough to be animated as soon as possible, and to speed up the production and put them on the market, so that there may be a glimmer of hope to turn the situation around, and the best choice at the moment—" said the manager, looking at Subaru, the meaning is self-evident .

"The best choice now is to choose one of Mr. Sakamoto's three works." Subaru smiled and added what the manager hadn't finished.

"Yes! Excuse me for my offense." The manager bowed. "Although there will be a certain loss of interests for you, Mr. Sakamoto, but in this case, the copyright issue of animation can be temporarily ignored, and more costs can be invested in animation."

Subaru nodded: "That's right, but you should know that "Spring Things" and "Date A Live" are works signed by Dengeki Bunko and Station N respectively. Strictly speaking, the copyright fee is not paid to me, but to these two companies. company."

"President." A woman raised her hand. "Actually, before this, we also discussed this issue. At that time, considering the company's situation, our primary goal was on "Doraemon", which has not yet signed a contract. We are even ready to contact you. I didn't expect you to become our president in the blink of an eye..."

"So the president." The manager leaned forward a little. "If you agree to let our company produce "Doraemon", I believe the company will be able to overcome this difficulty."

"Okay, I see." Subaru smiled and clapped his hands, "Whether it's the manager or—um, or Ms. Toda's speech, I believe that everyone is trying to save the company even when the company is in crisis. In this case, I have decided that our company will not produce "Doraemon" for the time being."

For a moment, all eyes were on Subaru.

The manager even stood up directly: "President! In terms of popularity, "Doraemon" may be our last straw, you—"
