Chapter 56 – Episode 9. New Employee Training.
“Welcome to Japan’s number one Taira Group!”
A famous A-list MC from Tyra Entertainment was holding the microphone as the host. New employees, hehe~! Maybe it was because I saw celebrities on TV, but I thought Tyra’s group was the best.
In fact, the MC was also from the Tyra group, so it was natural for him to come. Because it belongs to Tyra Entertainment. Although they were paid much more than regular employees, their salaries were similar. In Japan, with a few exceptions, celebrities are on a monthly salary system, so the company takes more.
“First, we will start the event with a congratulatory speech from Taira Group Chairman, Taira Danzo!”
With the MC’s words, Grandpa Tyra Danzo, wearing a suit and with flowing gray hair, came up to the podium. I don’t know if it’s because I only saw him at his parents’ house, but I’ve always seen him wearing a men’s kimono, but this is my first time wearing a suit. Perhaps because he was the chairman of a group competing to be the best in Japan, the suit suited him well. There was another profound charm.
“Kids, welcome to the best group in Japan.”
It was an absurd speech, but all the trainees cheered.
“The Human Resources Development Center here is an outstanding place. We put a lot of effort into training new members within the group. I put in so much effort that my grandson, who is in my blood, goes to this place. “
I didn’t know who the trainees were, but everyone in the staff seats behind them turned their heads to look at me. Oh, this guy was a direct descendant of the chairman? She looked at me with those eyes. Oh, Grandpa Taira Danzo, you’re selling me for no reason to increase the credibility of the Human Resources Development Center among trainees. She was, after all, a grandfather without blood or tears. The gaze was uncomfortable, but I couldn’t just leave this place and it was a bit uncomfortable.
“I won’t say much. Since you are in the best group, receive the best education and achieve the best results in your respective positions. More!”
Clap clap clap!
The ending was okay. Taira Danjo stepped down from the podium and the emcee came back up.
“It was a very good speech, wasn’t it? This time…”
As the host introduced the next sequence, a large man wearing sunglasses approached me. I think he’s an attendant accompanying Grandpa Taira Danzo?
“Master, the Chairman is calling you.”
My guess was right. It’s inconvenient to stay here, so I’ll go with you right away.
“Where should I go?”
“Please follow me.”
As I followed the big man in sunglasses, I glanced at the podium and saw Yukiko Taira standing on the podium. Since she is the director of talent development, she will be the second person to speak after the president. Looking at the male trainees, she sees Taira Yukiko and her eyes sparkle. Well, it would be nice to see that the director is a woman prettier than a celebrity. But she’s in a bad mood for no reason. I didn’t really like the looks in men’s eyes.
I followed the big guy with sunglasses to where Tyra’s limousine was parked. As I approached, the door opened and I heard Grandpa Tyra Danzo’s voice coming from inside.
“Just get on it.”
I followed Taira Danzo’s instructions and got into the limousine. It felt like it was more spacious than the limousine I rode in before when I went to Saburo’s funeral. Taira Danzo was smoking a thick cigar in the backseat. But is it poetry? It doesn’t smell like cigarettes? It smelled like burning dried herbs.
“From now on, don’t show your regenerative powers in front of people.”
“Yes?”
The thing you say as soon as you get on it is regenerative power? What are you talking about? How does grandpa know the identity of my regenerative power? Did he receive a report on the Jin gang terrorist incident at that time?
“Do you really not understand? Or are you just pretending not to understand?”
“Do you mean that if you’re going to use ramen in front of people, you can use it when no one is around?”
“Okay, that’s enough.”
“Did you call me to say that? “If that’s the case, there are phone calls and texts.”
Perfect!
At my grumbling, Grandpa Tyra Danzo snaps his fingers with the other hand holding the cigar and hits me on the forehead. Ah! Are you sick? Why is this old man so strong?
“Tsk tsk tsk! What a hater! I called you while I was here. “You idiot, should I take the time to contact you?”
“Oh my… You correct me. And a grandfather can contact his grandson.”
I said, rubbing my forehead in response to Taira Danzo’s admonition. Actually, thanks to the regeneration effect, I felt fine right away, but out of courtesy(?) I had to pretend to be sick.
“Anyway, don’t tell your uncles or aunts that you have unusual abilities. And especially, don’t tell Minamoto!”
It seemed like the reason Grandpa Taira Danzo warned me was because he was afraid I would die. Grandpa Taira seemed to think that I would become dangerous if the three successors and rival groups found out that I had regenerative abilities.
“Thank you.”
“Hmph, get off now. “I’m busy because I have to go to my next schedule.”
“Oh, you’re busy. Good luck, grandfather.”
Tuk!
As I was about to say hello and get off, he threw something on my lap. It was a fairly thick white envelope. What? I looked at Grandpa Tyra Danzo with these eyes.
“Hmm, it’s pocket money, you guy.”
“Thank you, Grandpa! “I’ll buy something delicious.”
I took the white envelope and took it with me, smiling and greeting Grandpa Taira Danzo. After all, grandpa is the best. The limousine carrying Grandpa Taira Danzo disappeared without replying to my thanks. When I opened the white envelope, there were 50 10,000 yen bills inside. It’s 500,000 yen… I guess Taira people have no sense of money.
When I went back to the main auditorium with nothing to do, it seemed like the admission event had already ended and new trainees were forming groups and going to their respective dorms. Although the accommodation was per person, each group member was assigned to be close to each other. Of course, men and women were assigned to different buildings, but members of the same gender were placed in rooms nearby.
“Hehe~ Ikemen (イケメン)…”
Some of the new trainees were whispering to each other when they saw me. Hmm, is this the life of a handsome man? It was a new sensation because it was a sensation I had never felt before possession. I ignored the whispering and entered the main hall. As expected, most employees were removing chairs.
“I will help too!”
I ran over and removed the chair together. The staff felt awkward because of what just happened, but I still have to work hard because I have a better reputation for working hard than a reputation for being arrogant. For me, who has great physical ability, moving a chair was nothing.
“Ah, junior. You’re here! “What are you doing here?”
Chieri Mimata asked, bringing one of her chairs with a whimper. Since it was a high-quality wooden chair and not a plastic chair, it seemed heavy for Mimata Chieri to lift. I took Chieri Mimata’s chair and said,
“I just had a normal talk with my grandfather. Are you doing well at work? “That’s the story.”
“Ah, junior, the Chairman is no different from any other ordinary grandfather?”
“What… “It’s a little eccentric, though.”
I moved my chair a few times while chatting with Chieri Mimata, and the auditorium soon became empty. Perhaps because all the employees who were watching the event from behind were all glued together, it ended much faster than when the chairs were placed.
Back at the office, our Educational Support Team 2 was enjoying some free time for the first time in a long time. Shinoe Misano was also enjoying her leisure time while drinking coffee, and Suzuki Chisami, who had been pestering her team members during the preparation period, was also quiet.
Mimata Chieri looked at me with a bright expression.
“Maybe because it’s the first day of training today, steak is served! “It will be about this thick, right?”
She was Mimatachieri, who was also excited to talk about food. “It looks delicious, I’m looking forward to it,” She agreed, and talked about today’s lunch.
“Taira Ryuta-kun. “I received a request for support from Education Team 1. Would you like to do it?”
She was talking to Chieri Mimata when Misano Shinoe answered her phone and asked me. As expected, I received a call! This is exactly what I worked with Emiko Kawaji.
“Yes, I will.”
“If you provide this kind of support, you will be busy but your salary will be higher.”
Of course, I wasn’t doing it for the paycheck. This incident had greater meaning.
“What Taira Ryuta-kun is going to do is… “I am a mentor for Group 74 of new trainees.”
There are usually about ten new trainees in a group, and each member of the training team becomes a mentor and each group member becomes a mentee. Even if the education teams 1, 2, and 3 all served as mentors, the number of new employees was over 3,000, and the number of groups was close to 300 trillion, so the education team alone was not enough to serve as mentors. So, you will receive a mentor from the educational support team or other places.
Mentors do quite a lot of things, such as giving tips and know-how about company life, and participating in and leading events when a mentor is needed. Everyone has their own work to do and they hate it when someone asks them to be a mentor, but I thought differently.
As I wanted to own the Tyra Group, I had to gather employees from each subsidiary to provide information, and what caught my eye was this mentor system. So, through Emiko Kawaji, they created a group called Group 74 and added me to it.
Group 74 was a group of new members who had good looks, excellent grades, and all belonged to key subsidiaries of the Tyra Group.
