Chapter 1: New Management
7 years later…
Mitsui Hisashi, a 25 year old good looking man, and the a board member of Tsukito Industry, sighed as another excited looking employee passed him by.
Tsukito Industry, despite being one of the biggest companies on Japan and manufactures and sells different toiletries products ranging from shampoo to nail polish, is in an uptight position.
Ever since the former CEO died suddenly because of heart attack and left his spoiled-brat son to be the new CEO, the company is steadily loosing money, and they were in a verge of bankrupt.
They'd tried everything to save the company. They made big steps from spending millions for advertisements, gimmicks, promos, but to no avail.
Their products were selling less and their suppliers are severing contracts with them. Their endorser, a hot sensational actor, even cut the contract short in endorsing their products because he's ashamed that his name would fall down the drain along with Tsukito's.
Thus, after failing on their attempts to save the company, their left with only one choice and that is to have a change on the management because apparently the new CEO can't manage the company anymore.
He felt pity to the young CEO, being thrown out of the position like that just after a few months of being appointed. But when he thought what idiotic decisions the man did, all his pity was washed away. Hell, that man even decided that all the old people who worked for their factory was to be dismissed immediately because they are too old to do their work.
Mitsui protested on that decision but his protest was rejected saying that they needed to cut short their finances anyway, so what is a better way than to dismiss their incompetent workers. He almost lost his head trying to tell them that almost all of the old people working on their company have been working there all their life, but the other board members tried to soothe him by telling him that they will have a huge retirement pay and will have a pension. Mitsui relented seeing that he's fighting a lost battle and no one was going to back him up.
Now, Tsukito Industry is now part of Azcarra Group of Companies, a foreign company which is based on America. Their company merged with them, but Azcarra have the upper hand.
And now is the time, Mitsui thought looking at his watch, the CEO of Azcarra Group of Companies, and now their new CEO, is arriving today to officially take over the company. They are currently at the main hall waiting for the arrival of the CEO, to welcome him and all of them are nervous and wondering what does he looks like.
To calm himself he looked at the crowd and saw his best friend Kogure, a fellow board member, wearing a suit and throwing worried glances at the door, while looking at his watch too. He and Kogure both studied at the same university and took the same course, business management. He nodded at Kogure when the spectacled man glanced at his way.
He looked further around and saw Akagi Haruko, dressed in formal blouse and skirt, talking to one of the employees. Haruko is working at the company as an accountant ever since she graduated from the university.
Mitsui frowned as he looks at his watch, He's late! HE should have been here 5 minutes ago! Mitsui, never been the one to be late, gritted his teeth at the new CEO's tardiness.
Suddenly Hikoichi, member of the Research Committee, came running to them announcing that the new CEO had arrived. All the people on hall held their breath.
A young man entered followed by six bodyguards. The man looked around and greeted "Good morning," Mitsui looked at the man scrutinizingly and he immediately knows that the man is very intelligent although he looks cold and aloof. He figured that the man is not the kind of person to cross.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to present to you, the new CEO of Tsukito Industry."
The people all clapped and eagerly leaned forward to see the new CEO. There are excited murmurs and whispers when the CEO entered. Some of the girls even squealed in delight. "My God! He's so handsome," were their comments.
But Mitsui did not clap. He didn't even breathe. He was just standing rooted at the spot, gaping.
There, standing at the middle of the hall, wearing a coat and tie and dark pants, looking very gorgeous, was none other than Sakuragi Hanamichi.
