you free tonight I've made a reservation at a fancy restaurant what is that a date invitation no it's just a promotion celebration we often go for drinks after work that's right I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and so I took her to a high class restaurant that I had reserved in advance I don't usually go to places like this but on occasions like this I want to show off as her Senpai this looks like such an expensive restaurant it's a celebration so I splurged socer sign aren't you straining yourself I'm happy enough with the usual pubs don't worry about it you've contributed so much to the company so I want to make sure you get to celebrate yes thank you and we were enjoying a special atmosphere that was different from usual but then hey look who it is it's Sakurai long time no see you Nana hiari why are you here Nana kisan who is this person do you know [Music] him we went to the same Elementary in junior high schools in our hometown he was a poor classmate I recognized you as soon as I saw your face of all people you're the last person I wanted to see his name is teruo nahikari his family is Rich but because of that I was often made fun of for being poor when I was in Elementary in junior high school what's a poor guy like you doing know your place it's none of your business what are you getting mad for you're being annoying if you don't have anything to do here get back to your seat s sakur son calm down [Music] Oh no you're getting worked up for nothing it's so embarrassing Nar summer we do not allow customers who cause a nuisance to other customers or cause a disturbance we will refuse service to those that do huh what's that owner is that how you treat your regular customers it doesn't matter who the customer is if you can't follow the rules you will have to leave damn what's the matter with you so boring oh well can't be helped hey Sakurai I'll let you off with this one today see you he's finally [Music] gone are you okay sakur son isaku Sama I am very sorry for the trouble I have caused you no thank you for your help I will make another apology at a later date so if you don't mind could I have your contact details oh there's no need to thank me if we let this pass without doing anything our store's name will be ruined well then I'll give you my business card so please get in touch if you need anything thank you you very much well then please enjoy your time here today despite being hit by unexpected problems thanks to the owner's thoughtfulness we were able to enjoy our meal to the very end that day and the next morning after finishing my work yotsu son came to see me thank you for your hard work soccer isan thank you for yesterday you're welcome sorry about that Interruption no I'm fine but that guy called nahikari was really unpleasant well he's always been like that I was raised by a single mother and nahikari teased me since I was little he's the son of a local landowner and probably because he was spoiled as a child he has a twisted person ality I tried not to engage with him as much as possible but it seems that only made him more irritated well anyway people like that can be found anywhere what why are you looking a little teary [Music] eyed I had no idea you went through so much trouble I had no idea I'll give you my mom daku snack m uku you have something like that in your pocket it's special so don't tell anyone else [Music] thanks a few days later as I was going about my business as usual yes this is Sakurai hello this is Nakamura from the restaurant rich rich thank you for visiting our restaurant the other day oh the other day no no no thank you for your help actually I wanted to apologize for the other day and I have something I would like to ask you sakuran huh then I heard from the owner that he would connect me with the person in charge at a major housing manufacturer if it goes well we will be partnering with a major company for a long period of time from planning to sales of Prime Residential Properties he was going to recommend our company for such a development project I thought it might be rude but when I received your business card the other day I saw your company name and thought it would be a good idea is that so but excuse me why would the owner of a restaurant do something like that actually my young brother is in charge of that matter of course this is not a definite decision and it is only being discussed as of now if there are no problems on your end I'll give you my brother's direct line for his company Mobile phone would you be willing to speak to him directly yes thank you I can't believe this is happening i' better get fired up huh sakur son you seem excited [Music] well I guess we'll talk about it after everything's been decided I think things are going to get really busy from now on huh is that so okay well I'll look forward to it then and like that I obtained a great opportunity in an unexpected way then I made an appointment with the person in charge at the other her company via the owner's younger brother and I went to meet with him as planned I see it seems that your track record is good but uh what else sets you apart from the competition yes our company regularly holds its own training sessions and some of our employees regularly place in the top ranks of customer satisfaction contests I see so it seems that you have a reasonable amount of confidence in your sales ability and then a few days later so you mean it went well yeah we just got an invitation to participate in a competition we've been invited to participate in a bidding competition with other companies that's amazing congratulations no the real challenge starts here if we lose the compet ition it won't mean anything huh that's right if there's anything I can do to help please let me know yes thank you so much for everything and so the preparations for the presentation continued late into the night okay I think I've got all the materials I'll just check them one more time hm is something wrong oh it's that's nothing what can I say huh are you hiding something behind your back actually I made these rice balls would you like to have some what you made that for me yes I wanted to support you socer son thanks yeah it's it's really delicious the the saltiness is perfect really I also have instant Misa soup do you want some you've even prepared miso soup yes I'd love to with the support of yotsu isan I made preparations as best I could in preparation for the upcoming decisive battle and on the day of the event as expected there were many different types of businesses gathered at the venue and many competitions were being held ah everyone's really fired up her turn is after this so let's get ourselves mentally prepared while we still can all right I'm going to go outside for a bit and get some air hey Sakurai what are you doing here what Nan hiati how did you end up here that's what I'm saying saying why are you here well I'm here to participate in the housing construction competition later on seriously so that means you're competing with us so his company is also in the construction business anyway I won't say anything bad so just go home we're definitely going to win this time huh sorry but we're not planning on losing either it's no use the executive of the company that's hosting this event is on good terms with my dad you're a grownup so you understand right huh if that's true that's called bid rigging and it's a crime you know shut up the world isn't as sweet as it seems you know see you what a jerk as usual [Music] sakur son what are you doing our turn is about to start oh sorry I'm coming and despite all that it's showtime the time has finally come then please begin yes today I would like to introduce our project a home that grows with the family the homes we propose change as the family grows for example we have Incorporated A system that allows you to adjust the size of the rooms as your children grow I get nervous but I've always been strong in front of an audience after a few minutes of answering the judge's various questions I see that was a really interesting proposal thank you very much yes thank you I was relieved that it was over without any regrets after that it would be a month before the results come out during that time we spent our days in a state of restlessness so so what happened with the results yeah the other department manager just called to say that we passed the screening we were competing with other companies on certain conditions but in the end they thought I seemed the most trustworthy because of my personality wow that's amazing let's order some special Sushi it's a sushi party everyone and after that we had to go to the partner company to finalize the details of the partnership your presentation the other day was really good the President also watched the video recording afterwards and gave it his stamp of approval thank you this is all thanks to the manager for giving me the opportunity however as the conversation progressed in a friendly manner ma manager there's a visitor here for the manager what there shouldn't be any other appointments at this time who could it be man what kind of idea is it to eliminate us from the competition nahikari I believe you are the son of the group chairman why are you here don't play dumb with me why did we get knocked out and that weakling get chosen hey Nana hiari I told you before but if things went the way you planned it's a fine Act of bid rigging which is a crime you know talk all you want you probably pulled some strings behind the scenes didn't you how dirty don't put me in the same category as you we won through our own abilities please calm down both of you and Nisan we are in the middle of an important business meeting so please leave manager who gave you the order to ignore such an important client like us and go and talk to these puny [Music] people that would be my order Sherman why are you here it's an important business meeting I thought I'd come and say hello well it seems that you have some complaints about our screening process so I'll just get straight to the point and tell you [Music] I watched all the recordings of the presentations from the day and your presentation was by far the worst what in comparison the content of this company's presentation was more enthusiastic than the others that's all there is to it wait a minute I can't accept that if you're going to partner with someone it shouldn't be such a weak company shut up kid I won't allow you to call Mizuki Chan's workplace [Music] weak Mizuki Chan what yisan you know the chairman I guess you can say that what you haven't told anyone yet grandpa I told you not to say that remember [Music] that's right I'm sorry about that Grandpa that means what you're the granddaughter of the chairman of yui conglomerate then why were you working at a firm like ours it's because I wanted to build my career on my own without relying on my family that's what it is by the way we judged the competition fairly and impartially so the fact that she's my granddaughter is irrelevant and this man who has completely lost his position stands there I've decided to finish him off as there's no other way did you hear that Nan hiati if you can't do your job and can't even win with your prized connections then there's nothing more you can say uh what well I guess you should learn a little from yotsu isan if you learn your lesson from this you should try a little harder yourself that's exactly right you've got it now haven't you it's time for you to leave hey send one home hey yes this way please get off me who do you think I am Nik Ki was dragged out of the room now did you say Sakurai let's continue where we left off okay then could you please check the contract first oh that's right I'm sorry I got a little flustered incidentally it seems that nahikari father became very angry when he found out about his son barging in how much more humili a do you want to inflict on [Music] me I'm very sorry he was disowned by his father who was Furious and he completely lost his position at the company and was demoted in rank he had to start over from cold calling but apparently he was useless at it what's more his girlfriend he took to the restaurant also dumped him and when I saw him in town he looked so Haggard that he was unre recognizable and as for us sakuran thank you for coming again today no it's my pleasure to be here again I'm looking forward to it I wanted to come here again too unlike last time I've got some money in my wallet this time in fact our firm's profile has increased and sales have skyrocketed through our success in the competition my achievements have been recognized and I've now been promoted from section chief to department manager I see so today is to celebrate your promotion sakaan oh no we've already celebrated with everyone in the department so today is a uh private uh I see which means this is a party to celebrate your future together what well that is oh dear you're right I see well then I'll excuse myself so as not to intrude uh owner this is my second time at this restaurant but I like to come again and again what yeah so uh Mizuki son also likes high class restaurants like this no that's not the point I want to spend time with you forever Shas son Mizuki son here hold a glass to sha here's to our future together cheers thank you for watching all the way to the end hope you enjoyed today's episode and don't
