Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted her hair as a matter of course, put the hair at the temples behind her head, and smiled.
Although she, Kasumigaoka Utaha, is very shy in the workplace, in the eyes of her acquaintances and her lover who has already decided on her future, she is very brave.
Hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha say "a lifetime commitment", Luo Shu immediately thought of the family contract, so he could only reveal a doting expression of "I can't do anything to you at all":
"It's hard to make a lifelong commitment to a jerk like me."
Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile:
"Whether you are a bad person or not is something I decide, not you. At least now I think you are good, and that's enough."
Machida Sonoko, who was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food, froze in expression.
Assholes, what are you two high school students doing in front of a 28-year-old single woman? ! !
Just at this moment, with a ding, the elevator door opened.
Machida Yuanzi, who had a lot of questions in her mind, saw a group of high-level executives gasping for breath outside the door. She suddenly dared not say a word and just walked out of the elevator in silence.
Seeing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who originally wanted to chat a few words, glanced at Luo Shu, and then took the lead to follow Machida Sonoko, and Luo Shu followed closely behind.
The three of them came to the president's office together, and after pushing the door open, at the signal of Machida Sonoko, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat behind the president's desk. Luo Shu also stood behind Kasumigaoka Utaha and hinted to Machida Sonoko to stand on the other side.
With Luo Shu and Machida Yuanzi as her protectors, Kasumigaoka Utaha's "shyness" seemed to be alleviated. She sat behind her desk, looking at the middle-aged and elderly people standing in front of her. After the door was closed by the company's assistant, she said with a smile:
"I think everyone has received the corresponding information about my name and situation, right?"
The group of people standing in front of her didn't say anything. Seeing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately smiled and said:
"It seems that I don't need to explain it. Let's introduce ourselves."
Hearing this, the leader, a middle-aged man in a black suit with black and white hair, bowed his head, handed over the postcard with both hands and said:
"I am Takada from the General Affairs Office."
After he finished his introduction, Editor-in-Chief Ito came out with an unnatural look and also handed over his business card:
"Ito, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department."
"I'm Miki from the animation business development department."
"Mihashi from the Finance Department."
"Matsumoto from the First Marketing Department."
"Kurahashi from the Propaganda Department."
More than 20 people introduced themselves one after another, and Machida Sonoko, who was temporarily responsible for receiving business cards, received a small dozen of them. If it weren't for the fact that Kasumigaoka Utaha's mental state continued to improve after gaining her ability, she would not have been able to recognize all of them.
Even so, Kasumigaoka Utaha could only smile and nod in the end. It seemed that she knew this person, but in fact, she couldn't recognize anyone.
However, she could hear clearly what these people were saying in their hearts.
Thinking that Luo Shu was standing behind her, the smile on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face did not diminish at all:
"Okay, then we have become acquainted."
"Although I took over the company a little suddenly, please rest assured that I have no plans to change your jobs in the near future."
Hearing this, Managing Director Takada and Editor-in-Chief Ito both breathed a sigh of relief.
The work of a publishing house places great emphasis on professionalism. If a president does not come from the front-line, it will be difficult for him to cope with the operation of the entire publishing house.
Originally, after seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha was as young as the information sent to them, Managing Director Takada and Editor-in-Chief Ito were worried that this person would interfere.
Now, President Kasumigaoka has directly stated that he will not interfere in the front-line work, which makes them feel somewhat relieved.
However, it seemed that their joy was a little premature.
After saying "I won't interfere with personnel changes," Kasumigaoka Utaha said:
"Of course, as a president who takes on the task at a critical moment, I also need some time to gain a deep understanding of the publishing house."
At this point, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly paused, turned her head to look at Machida Sonoko, and said with a fake smile:
"I guess everyone is also curious about why Machida Sonoko is here?"
The group of middle-aged and elderly people standing in front of the desk did not say a word, but many of their reactions were heard by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Not paying attention to these "old hands" who were extremely curious but pretended to be stupid on the surface, for fear of being the first to come out, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and revealed:
"The reason is simple."
"Because for now, I am still a minor author under Machida's name."
"Well, Love Metronome is just a small attempt of mine to test the waters of the publishing house."
Hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Ito was stunned and could not help but turn his head to look at Matsumoto from the First Marketing Department.
Matsumoto is a slightly plump person, and his hair is one of the thickest in the publishing industry.
However, at this moment, he completely couldn't understand why Editor-in-Chief Ito was staring at him. What did President Kasumigaoka just say?
Wait, Love Metronome? This name sounds familiar? Is it a work by Machida?
Wait... could it be the one that Fuminosuke was in charge of promoting... the one that was clearly a romantic comedy but was promoted as a suspense film?
Suddenly, Matsumoto's face turned pale.
"Matsumoto." Editor-in-Chief Ito gritted his teeth and looked at Matsumoto from the marketing department, saying bitterly, "You did a good thing."
"What's going on?" Executive Managing Director Takada was confused.
President Kasumigaoka wrote a light novel himself to test the operation of the publishing house. Is there any problem with this?
Doesn’t this show how much the president values their publishing house?
A president who is willing to understand the situation of a publishing house from the grassroots and from the perspective of the authors is always better than parachuting in a fool who gives orders, right?
Seeing Executive Managing Director Takada's confusion, Chief Editor Ito came over and explained in a low voice.
In an instant, Managing Director Takata's face turned red with anger.
"Matsumoto, what are you doing?!"
When the new president's work was launched, the marketing department actually engaged in false propaganda and secretly played tricks, causing the work to become a flop.
What is the marketing department doing?
The junior staff members under you deliberately bullied others, and as a leader you didn't correct them, which would have been fine, but now you bring it here to provoke everyone and lower their ratings in front of the new president?
Who is this for?
The president just said that there would be no job changes, and you're already doing this. Do you think we old guys can't lift a knife?
"I'm really sorry." Minister Matsumoto bowed hurriedly and apologized repeatedly.
At this time, Senior Managing Director Takada said with a dark face: "We'll talk about your matter later."
With a new president in place, this kind of mistake naturally cannot be exposed, at least not openly, and he cannot be punished openly. After all, if he really punishes him, it will be seen as the president's revenge, and he cannot make things difficult for President Kasumigaoka.
Thinking of this, Executive Director Takada looked at Director Matsumoto with a gloomy look. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the message "Just wait for me" came through.
At this time, the senior executives of the publishing house, who originally did not understand the situation, understood the situation after hearing the whispered explanation of Editor-in-Chief Ito, and there was an unusually subtle feeling in their eyes when they looked at Matsumoto.
The people below are bullying the new president, this is a joke too much.
I guess Matsumoto will be exiled, right? I just don't know whether he will go to Hokkaido to fish, or to Ryukyu to see the sea. Oh, if he is more ruthless, he may go to Russia to develop new markets.
"It seems that something very interesting has happened."
Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a wry smile.
In fact, she was almost mad.
If she hadn't said it casually, if she hadn't read other people's minds, she would have thought that her work was just not suitable for the market. But it turned out that a small employee under her was bullying her?
"No, President..." Managing Director Takada was about to explain something when he was interrupted by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Okay, let's wait until the next high-level meeting to settle the serious matters."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was very clear that today she was only here to get to know the senior management of the publishing house and confirm her status, everything else was secondary.
But in the end, she couldn't help but add:
"Director Takata, the quality of the frontline staff seems to need to be improved."
Managing Director Takata and Chief Editor Ito broke out in sweat at what Kasumigaoka Utaha said casually, and they knew in their hearts that the new president probably knew everything.
The so-called publication of a book to understand the situation was understood by them as a test of obedience and ability.
And according to the current situation, their results seem to be unsatisfactory.
"I understand. We'll take care of it."
Matsumoto, who was sitting below, saw the sour faces of Managing Director Takada and Editor-in-Chief Ito, and immediately realized that he was finished.
"Fuminosuke!!!"
"Bakayalu, even if I have to be sent to fish, I will take you with me! ! "
-
After the embarrassed Minister Matsumoto was taken away by a group of senior executives and the building was deserted.
Kasumigaoka Utaha then grabbed the documents on the table and slammed the table hard:
"hateful!!"
"Xiao Shi." Machida Sonoko looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha somewhat awkwardly. Although she didn't know how Kasumigaoka Utaha knew about it, it seemed that Xiao Shi knew everything about the publishing house's movements.
On the other side, Luo Shu, who didn't know much about the situation, came over curiously:
"What's wrong? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted and said aggrievedly:
"My work has been messed up. It seems that the first volume didn't do very well. Obviously, it was said before that it would have the potential to be a bestseller..."
Machida Yuanzi saw this and complained in her heart: "Not only is the result bad, but Ito, the editor-in-chief, told me before you came that the third volume would be cut short."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears twitched and her face suddenly became darker.
Three volumes cut off? Who is she looking down on? She actually made outlines for five volumes... Oh, she has too many things to do recently, so she didn't actually make an outline. She just had an idea in mind, but she can't just cut it off after three volumes!
It would be fine if her real product was not accepted by the market, but she failed just because of a small thing. What did they think of her hard work?
"Got tricked?" Luo Shu was somewhat surprised: "Doesn't that mean that Wuxiang helped you?"
Luo Shu is not worried about the situation of Kasumigaoka Utaha's works. He is the president of a publishing house, so what is there to be afraid of? He will just promote it to the fullest.
Even without Kasumigaoka Utaha's instructions, the executives and editors-in-chief will figure it out on their own.
As for the clerks, the island nation’s publishing house is a lifelong career, workplace bullying, job transfers, Africa, and the Middle East divisions are all worth knowing!
There are always small shoes that fit him.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha heard what Tachibana Kirika said, she was helpless: "It's strange, but that's the truth. I guess I'll have to treat her to a meal later."
If Tachibana Kirika hadn't sent a publishing house over, Kasumigaoka Utaha would never have known that she was being cheated.
Because of this favor, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that she would have to bow down to Tachibana Kirika when she saw her in the future.
Seriously, this didn't have to happen!
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but murmured, "Sometimes, things often fail in the hands of the top management, but collapse first among the small staff on the front line?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in surprise and said with a smile:
"What? Are you going to become a monk and attain enlightenment, and from now on you dream of becoming the president of the most powerful publishing house in the island country?"
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu rolled her eyes at Luo Shu and said angrily:
"Is that all you can do to tease me?"
I will fuck you too..... Luo Shu felt a little strange after being glanced at by Feng Qing, but he did not say anything. He just glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha and then said:
"It seems that you are quite adaptable to this kind of occasion. Well, the next work of the president should not be difficult to carry out."
"That's true." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded in agreement.
It was okay when I was in school, but now that I’m in the workplace where people’s minds are complicated, the ability to read minds is really like a cheat.
He knows everything about his subordinates' thoughts and hidden secrets, and can also find the key to the problem through the thoughts of countless people.
If we don't take into account the external environment, Kasumigaoka Utaha is really confident that she can manage the personnel management of the publishing house in an ironclad manner.
When she thought of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring, and an indescribable feeling of comfort surged in her heart.
