Kapitel 439: Embrace the new era
March 1st, this was a very unique day.
The skyscraper of Gamestar Electronic Entertainment was officially completed.
Located in the harbor district, it was the most concentrated administrative area for high-tech in Japan.
In the end, it was 50 stories tall.
Thirty of those floors were for game development departments, ten floors were for hardware development departments such as gaming consoles, and the remaining floors housed other administrative departments like marketing and copyright development.
There were also multiple underground levels used to store the company's servers and important data.
And the top floor naturally belonged to Takayuki as the exclusive boss floor.
Takayuki had also achieved one of his life goals, owning his own building and even having a whole floor to himself.
Sometimes, you have to be a bit conventional, Takayuki didn't mind admitting that.
The previous rented building would still be continued to be rented out; it would provide a place for those who dream of game development.
Anyway, that rent money didn't matter anymore. It was better to use it for a good cause, to relieve some game developers of their rent burdens, giving them a more relaxed and free development environment. Who knows, maybe one or two rising stars in game development could emerge from this, then that rent money would be well spent.
At the same time, the oldest office building where Takayuki was located, the one with only three floors and a monthly rent of only 200,000 yen, was purchased at a reasonable price under Takayuki's government connections. The appearance of that building was preserved, but the interior underwent a major renovation, turning it into a place where players could visit and tour, like a small game museum owned by the company, open for free regularly, to make sure players always remembered the company.
"Takayuki, how do I look in this outfit?"
In Takayuki's home, Sayuri was standing in front of the mirror in the living room, examining her appearance.
Today, she looked completely different from her usual self.
Usually, she was either wearing a white engineer's lab coat or casual sportswear for easy movement.
But today, she wore a dress.
A subdued purple long dress, with her hair pinned up, highlighting a mature charm.
It was only now that Takayuki finally realized that she had a certain feminine charm; he hadn't noticed it before.
Takayuki paused for a moment and then nodded, saying, "You look very beautiful. I don't know how else to describe it."
"Don't move, your clothes aren't properly arranged yet."
"Oh."
Tsukino Aya stood in front of Takayuki, carefully adjusting his tie and suit.
This was the first time Takayuki dressed so formally.
In the past, he had always preferred a casual style and didn't particularly care about his serious image.
But today was very special; it symbolized the company's transition to a new stage.
A top-notch company would inevitably have its own building.
And the location of the building was roughly equivalent to the company's status in the country.
To build a fifty-story building in the harbor district was already proof enough.
Even Takayuki, rarely serious, had to make an exception.
And the most prominent thing about Tsukino Aya, as she earnestly adjusted Takayuki's tie in front of him, was her iconic silver hair.
But this time, she didn't tie it into twin tails; instead, she let her hair fall slightly to one side.
This image was also something Takayuki saw for the first time.
Everyone had changed.
Takayuki sighed inwardly.
Everyone had become different from before.
Thinking about it, it was normal.
He had been in this world for ten years now.
In his past life, he was already in his thirties, and adding nine years here, his psychological age should be in his forties, but in reality, he didn't have much of a mindset of someone in their forties.
But regardless of the mindset, nine years would still change a lot.
Especially Tsukino Aya, her fear of physical contact had almost disappeared, which should be the biggest change for her.
Since she met Takayuki, her changes were visible to the naked eye.
She was no longer as reclusive as before.
Now she could at least start communicating with people, and she now had her own team.
This game development team was personally recruited by her.
There were her former classmates from Stanford University who had graduated but were struggling, as well as some juniors.
With this team, she formed the so-called "Stanford Warriors" and was now developing what she believed to be the top game.
According to her, the development cycle should be over three years, so it wouldn't be easy to see her game in a short time. And she deliberately kept it secret from Takayuki, saying it would be at least a year before he could play it.
From someone with a fear of physical contact to her current state, she didn't think there was anything wrong. What she used to dislike, she now began to enjoy the feeling of working together with partners.
Takayuki was the source of all her changes.
And not far away, Sayuri looking at Takayuki through the mirror, had a complex emotion in her eyes.
She had also changed a lot.
Through her efforts, she had proven herself to her parents.
She didn't need to inherit the family business, and she didn't need to find a husband for her father to continue running his kendo dojo.
Sayuri had already found her own path.
Now she was a director in Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's engineering development department, a position that countless people dreamed of.
Of course, it was impossible to maintain it until now just relying on Takayuki's influence alone; she also had her own ability to impress others, which was her years of development experience and various creative ideas learned from Takayuki.
Everything had indeed changed a lot.
Tsukino Aya seemed to have finally fixed Takayuki's tie and looked at it carefully before raising her head to look at Sayuri. "Sayuri, could you check if Takayuki's tie is straight?"
"Sure."
Sayuri immediately walked over in long strides, completely forgetting that she was wearing a dress.
But her balance was good, and she didn't fall.
"Well, it looks very good, very neat."
Takayuki's face was a bit abnormal; the tie was too tight...
Oh well, it's just for a short while. He could take it off right after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Sayuri was very satisfied with her work and then glanced at her watch.
"It's almost time; shall we go?"
The car had been waiting outside for a long time, and now there were still two hours before the skyscraper officially opened, so they needed to prepare.
"Let's go, to welcome the new era, our new era."
Takayuki said casually and then walked out first.
He really didn't want the two to see his slightly flushed face.
