Chapter 48 Never Do It
Takahashi pressed the shutter twice, and the Kodak camera made two "know, know" sounds, and the two images were printed on the film.
After taking the photos, he did not stop for a long time, but went to pick up the leather shoes he sent two days ago.
Although the Italian handmade leather shoes look full of shape, the quality is really not satisfactory. Takahashi only wore them for less than a week before they started to get glue. Fortunately, the lifelong free repairs are not lost except for some time.
Takahashi picked up the bag with the leather shoes that had been repaired, got on the Hibiya Line, and after six, he stood in Akihabara and got off the bus and returned to the company.
Half of the people sent out from the company came back, and the people who came back handed the camera to a temporary darkroom. When they were waiting here, the darkroom would wash out the photos.
"The people who came back lined up to report." Before Yuji Kudo could enter the house, his voice had already been heard.
The conversation in the room stopped instantly, and the people sitting on the chair stood up.
Takahashi stood at the end of the team and listened to the people in front of him reporting on the amount of reimbursement.
"Fifty!"
"one hundred!"
"thirty!"
"twenty!"
...
Different people talked about different numbers. After they finished speaking, they wrote on the notebook on the table, where they went, their names, and the sales volume recorded.
It was Takahashi's turn after more than twenty minutes.
“Seventeen.”
Takahashi talked about the quantity like the people in front of him, and then wrote the address, name and sales.
A few people who came back after Takahashi also finished their sales and filled out their addresses. Kudo Yuji said first, "Thank you for everyone, today is a big day for the company. If you wait for Nintendo to tell us how many days it will take. In order to have a concept of sales first, I sent everyone out today, thank you for your hard work."
After saying the cliché, Yuji Kudo waited for a while, looked at the table and said, "There are currently 1,720 sales data that everyone has counted. The sales data is not bad. You can get such data in just three hours of release. It is a good sign. Let's take a break first. When the rest of the people come back, let's count it again. Miyazaki, go and ask how many photos have come out and bring all the washed photos."
"Yes." Miyazaki Otojo and walked straight to the darkroom.
In 1985, even in Japan, the cost of taking and washing color photos was not low. In addition, the color photos were a bit complicated and took longer to wash them, so this time they were all black and white film.
The darkroom is said to be a darkroom, but it is not pitch black without any light. The red light illuminates the darkroom, and the pool on the workbench is full of unknown liquids.
The washed photos were hung on the rope with clips, like hanging clothes.
"Give me all the washed photos." Miyazaki shouted outside the house, and after a while a envelope was stuffed out of the crack in the door.
"President, this is a photo." Miyazaki handed the envelope to Kudo Yuji.
Yuji Kudo looked at each photo, looking at the age of the customers who bought "Gold Digger" in each photo, and didn't know what they were thinking.
Suddenly, he saw a photo taken from a distance. It looked like it was in Ginza. There were two people sitting indoors separated by glass in the middle of the photo. One looked a bit like the game department director Kyosuke Koguchi.
"Who took this photo?" Kudo Yuji asked holding it up.
Several nearby employees shook their heads after looking at it, and looked closer in the distance. After seeing the photos, Takahashi said, "This is what I took."
"Is this Kyosuke?" Kudo Yuji asked, pointing to the man in the photo.
Takahashi said, "I'm not sure if I'm the director of the game department. I look a bit like that. I just happened to have a camera and I took a picture."
"Where did you take it?" asked Yuji Kudo.
"Ginza." Takahashi replied.
"What are you doing in Ginza?"
"I went to pick up the shoes. The Italian leather shoes that the president took me to buy were broken. I sent them two days ago and I went to pick them up as soon as possible today."
Yuji Kudo nodded when he heard Takahashi's explanation. Although he rarely saw Takahashi in the company recently, he heard from the comic shop next door that Takahashi worked there until very late every day.
Although the length of working hours does not indicate how much work a person has achieved, the sales of magazines with content cooperation between Hudson and Elementary School Pavilion have recently increased, which has proved the value of Takahashi's work.
"Do you know that woman?" Kudo Yuji asked Takahashi.
Takahashi shook his head.
"President, I seem to know this woman!" said a staff member next to him.
"Who is she?" Yuji Kudo turned to look at the talking staff.
The staff member looked through his pockets for a while, took out a business card and presented it to Yuji Kudo with his hands and said, "It's this person. This is the business card she gave me when I went to Namco a few days ago."
"Fukuhara Miyo?" Kudo Hiro muttered as he looked at the name on his business card, "Did you go with Minister Koguchi that day?"
"No." The staff member shook his head.
"Well..." Yuji Kudo looked up at Takahashi, his fingers kept tapping on the table, maybe thinking about something.
The staff who spoke to each other originally wanted to show their presence in front of the president. Unfortunately, the president stopped talking after asking a few questions. He was eager to show off, and was afraid that he would disturb the president's thinking and be scolded, so he could only stand aside in disappointment.
Takahashi also quietly took a few steps back and sat down at the corner of the wall. On the ground to his right were the shoes he had retrieved.
The shoes were indeed broken, not Takahashi deliberately broke them, but they were broken by themselves.
The broken leather shoes just gave Takahashi a reason to go to Ginza. As for "stumbled" to see the director of the game department, he took a photo "curiously".
Whether it is not Kudo Yuji Nobuk, Takahashi himself believes it.
He did not choose to report directly, how long he had been here. Compared with his old subordinates and fellow villagers for several years, it is unknown how much Yuji Kudo can trust him.
Instead of complaining directly, it is better to plant the seed of doubt in Kudo Yuji's heart now. This lurking seed slowly sprouts and will eventually grow into something. In the end, it depends on the choice of the Minister of the Game Department himself.
If he had nothing to do with the female staff in Namco, or was just a pure relationship between men and women, it would be fine. If he betrayed Hudson's secret to be with her, or did other things that harm Hudson, haha, just wait for Kudo Yuji's thunderous anger.
Think about the fate of the retainers who betrayed their masters in ancient times, and what would happen to the ministers of the Game Department.
If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. You will be completely blamed.
Takahashi chose this method to deal with the director of the game department. Although it seemed that it was not as refreshing as directly blowing his dog head, it was much more powerful and could ruin his second half of his life.
Who made Takahashi kind-hearted? It’s not obvious that others suffer from flesh and blood. When he was hitting Shimada, he felt a little pitiful to the boy who fell to the ground.
From then on, he made up his mind that he would never do anything if he could do it, and he would say something and do it well if he had something to do.
