Yahiko then called Masayoshi. As soon as the call was connected, he said, "Mr. Kobayashi, congratulations o n your appointment as the acting chairman!" 6
Masayoshi said respectfully, "Mr. Ito, thank you for your kind words. I am just being appointed as the acting chairman temporarily. When my nephew, Jiro, returns to Kobayashi Pharma, I will certainly return this position to him." 2
Yahiko sneered before he said, "I deduce that Jiro will not be coming back anymore. Although you are only the acting chairman now, I believe that you will become the official chairman of Kobayashi Pharma soon!"
Masayoshi secretly felt delighted inside. However, he kept his composure and continued saying, "Mr. Ito, to tell you the truth, I still think about Jiro day and night, and I hope that he will be able to return safely."
Yahiko smiled as he said, "Mr. Kobayashi, the reason why I called you today is not just to give you a polite greeting. I have a business proposal for you." 1
Masayoshi's tone changed. He hurriedly replied, "Mr. Ito, please speak up!"
Yahiko replied in a serious tone, "I have always been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma's prospects. You should already know this, right?"
"Yes!" Masayoshi said respectfully, "I have already heard about this for a long time. Thank you for your support and confidence in Kobayashi Pharma!"
Yahiko continued, "I have always wanted to invest in Kobayashi Pharma. I also had an intense conversation with Jiro before this. However, it is really a pity that h e had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Hence, the only thing I can do is to approach you and talk about this matter with you now." 9
Masayoshi quickly said, "That is not an issue at all, but may I ask what are you proposing here, Mr. Ito?"
Yahiko said, "I want to make a deal with Kobayashi Pharma, and also make two other deals with you personally."
Masayoshi replied, "Please tell me about it.”
