"You'll be appointed as a senior manager, Mr. Han," Shin announced.
Lee Han accepted the position without any objections.
Shin had chosen Lee Han as a senior manager due to his exceptional competence in management. Shin recognized abilities and experience in Lee Han that Ikeburo Center had failed to see.
"I'll resign now... Sigh, this is such a relief," Lee Han sighed with relief. He had longed to leave Ikeburo Center, especially since the son of the General Manager had been relentless in pressuring him ever since embarrassing him during the meeting.
Following that, Shin and Lee Han engaged in a lengthy conversation before concluding it.

General Manager Fuyuko Kimura was currently reviewing Lee Han's resignation papers.
"You're resigning?" General Manager looked at Lee Han with seriousness and inquired, "Why?" He couldn't comprehend why such a valuable employee would choose to resign. He was reluctant to lose such a competent individual.
"I'm sorry, General Manager. I've already made up my mind. As for why? There's no need to guess, right? General Manager," Lee Han responded boldly and unafraid.
"Is it because of the Assistant General Manager and the pressure you faced from the Video Games Machine acquisition task I assigned you?" General Manager asked, searching Lee Han's eyes.
Lee Han remained silent.
General Manager sighed in disappointment.
After completing all the necessary procedures, Lee Han left quietly.

Shin welcomed Lee Han after some time had passed.
Lee Han was taken aback to find that KiShin company still operated from a small space in an inexpensive building.
Shin introduced Lee Han to Mira and all the employees.
Mira was quite surprised that the Ikeburo Center manager was joining their modest-sized company.
After some time, Lee Han asked for the performance and revenue of the company which Mira and the others presented without any problems.
Lee Han reviewed the reports with wide eyes, he exclaimed in shock, "Is this really the report!?" he said as he looked at the revenue of the company.
Shin sipped his coffee with a smile, he said, "Hehe, what do you think?"
Mira also chuckled, she said, "Even I, wouldn't expect that our company will grow to this extent."
At the data report, the earnings of the KiShin was millions of yen. 5.1 million yen to be exact. This is the days of earnings of KiShin.
"This is the earnings from all the KiShin Video Games machines in these malls and the Ikeburo Center," Shin explained.
As he placed a coffee on the table, he gestured toward the paper that Lee Han was holding. "Once we've maximized these profits, we'll consider selling our video game machines to these malls and the Ikeburo Center."
Lee Han was taken aback. "Why would you want to sell such a profitable machine?"
Shin smiled and motioned for everyone to take a seat. He then proceeded to outline his future plans for the company, leaving his employees in shock.

Taki was in the middle of playing a game of Mario with his son when his Nopia phone suddenly rang.
"Sir Kurosawa, where are you?" a young man's voice came through the phone.
"It's Sunday. Why are you calling me?" Taki replied, sounding a bit irritated.
"I finally remembered the company you mentioned when you were telling your story that day," the young man exclaimed.
"KiShin? What about it? Do you know them and play on their video game machines?" Taki asked as he continued to play Super Mario.
"No, but that company is our customer."
The young man's words caught Taki's attention, and he paused his game.
"Really? KiShin is our customer?" Taki exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes. With so many companies, especially small and large car manufacturers as our customers, I didn't pay much attention to the name KiShin. But today, KiShin placed a significant order for components from us, and it piqued my interest."
Taki brought his phone closer to his ear and asked, "What kind of components are they buying, Kenji?"
The young man named Kenji spoke through the phone, saying, "According to our company's historical records of interactions with KiShin Electronics, it all began with KiShin placing a small order for Custom PCBs designed to their specifications."
Taki took a deep breath, realizing, 'This might hold the secret to the technology used in the video game machines!'

After several weeks of witnessing substantial earnings from KiShin's video game machines, both the mall managers and the store managers at Ikeburo Center couldn't ignore the profits generated any longer.
They attempted to contact KiShin Company to inquire about the possibility of purchasing their video game machines.
KiShin consistently rejected their requests for weeks, but today, seemingly annoyed, they finally agreed to negotiate the sale of their video game machines.
This decision came as a massive shock to the mall and Ikeburo Center managers.
During a meeting led by the General Manager of Ikeburo Center, he announced, "KiShin is finally considering selling their machines!"
The financial manager exclaimed, "If they are willing to sell, it must come at a high price!"
The other managers nodded in agreement.
Assistant General Manager Ito Kimura arrogantly interjected, "So what? Regardless of the price, we'll buy them! Once we acquire them, the profits will be our reward!"
General Manager Kimura nodded, "Indeed. Regardless of the cost, we will acquire them. The profits will undoubtedly justify the investment. Besides, the video game machines are already proven to be highly profitable."
The other managers couldn't argue with this logic and nodded in agreement.
