Chijo Dafu came to the sanatorium with some anxiety.

Unlike the Japanese Chess Academy, as the chairman of the Kansai Chess Academy, he was a chess player. When he was young, he had accepted the leadership of Utaro Hashimoto, so he had a natural awe for him.

However, when he entered the ward, he found that there were already many people standing inside, including five permanent directors, three non-permanent directors, and two supervisors.

Although there were many people, almost filling the entire room, it was quiet.

Tatsuo Chijo was shocked and turned his mind to understand that these people were called by Mr. Hashimoto, so he said hello a little stiffly.

Hashimoto Utaro snorted, agreed, and sat up with the help of the nurse and said lazily:

"I just asked several directors. I heard that you asked the chess institute to temporarily suspend contact with Hiroshi Chihara?"

That being said, the decision was passed at the board meeting... Qianzou Dafu quickly swept the directors present, and saw that they all looked nothing about their own affairs. When they touched his eyes, they quickly moved away. Suddenly, they knew what was going on:

"Mr. Hashimoto, there is a reason for this..."

"What's the reason? Do you tell me?"

Hashimoto Utaro's tone could not hear any emotion. Chijo Tatsuo relaxed a little and continued to answer:

"You know, we have a lot of cooperation with the Japan Chess Academy. If we rashly contact this matter, it will not only cause disgust from the Japan Chess Academy, but also affect our cooperation. I do this for the benefit of the chess Academy."

"What did the Japanese Chess Academy send someone to say?"

"Well, they have given relevant hints through private channels."

"Don't!" Suddenly, Hashimoto Utaro's eyes widened, his voice suddenly increased, and his neck to his face was red, obviously angry, "What does the Japanese Chess Institute ask us to do, we must listen to them? What are they? Don't demote yourself!"

Chijo Dafu quickly explained.

He knew that because the old man was too troubled by the Japanese chess institute during the establishment of the Kansai chess institute, he cared very much about the concepts of "equality of identity".

The others in the ward dared not speak out until they saw the old man coughing violently for a few times, and they rushed forward to comfort him, but they said nothing more than that.

After about five minutes, Utaro Hashimoto calmed down and looked at the senior officials of the chess institute outside the bed, either true feelings or false intentions, sighed in his heart, and his eyes re-energized on Dhatsu Chijo:

"Remember, since Hiroshi Chihara has decided to withdraw from the Japan Chess Academy, we must show our sincerity as soon as possible and let a director - no, you!"

Speaking of this, he stumbled for a while and continued to say two seconds later:

"You go to Tokyo in person and invite Hiroshi Chihara to join the Kansai Chess Academy. No matter what request he makes, as long as the Chess Academy can meet it, you can agree!"

Chijo Dafu seemed a little hesitant:

"Agree with all the conditions?"

Hashimoto Utaro stared at him and sneered:

"Yes, even if he wants to be the chairman of the Kansai Chess Academy, you have to free up my position! If something goes wrong in the middle, although I am already a silly old guy, it will be no problem to deal with you before I die!"

Not only Chijo Takufu, but also the permanent directors, the unscrupulous directors and supervisors present, all looked at each other and agreed in a low voice.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, you guys go."

"yes."

...

This group of senior executives of Kansai Chess Academy walked out of the ward until they reached the bottom of the building. A director laughed:

"Teacher Hashimoto is really making a big deal. Now Hiroshi Chihara has announced his withdrawal from the Japan Chess Academy. Where can I go now? Only our Kansai Chess Academy."

Qianzhao Dafu glanced at him, his steps kept on:

"Since Mr. Hashimoto has already spoken, he is just doing things seriously. Why are you so happy to talk here!"

As he said that, he ignored the awkward people and got straight into the car when he came and drove towards the chess yard.

When I arrived at the chess academy, I hurried forward alone, without even having to breathe, and hurriedly said:

"Chairman, since this morning, many consortiums have called Chihara Hiroshi, especially the Muji Group. I heard that their president and Chihara Hiroshi are old acquaintances, and asked when he would join the Chess Academy!"

The visitor was his secretary who stayed in the chess academy.

Thousand Takafu was shocked:

The establishment of the Kansai Chess Academy back then was thanks to the help of the Kansai local consortium. In recent decades, in all aspects, the reason why the Kansai Chess Academy has developed to this day has a lot to do with the Kansai Consortium.

“What are there?”

"In addition to the Muji Group mentioned just now, there are Sanhe Bank, Sumitomo Consortium, Panasonic Company, Itochu Commercial... They are all asking about the relevant situation!"

Perhaps because of the very clear game thinking of Go, most senior executives of Japan's consortiums like to play Go and also fund a lot of funds every year.

If Hashimoto Utaro's words only made Chijo Tatsuo listen in a helpless situation, then the reactions of those large consortiums were the focus of his real attention.

"Come on, I'm going to Tokyo as soon as possible! By the way, I'll inform Kuri Hakuno. I remember that his relationship with Chihara Hiroshi is pretty good, let him go with us!"

...

Hiroshi Chihara announced his withdrawal from the Chess Academy, which had a huge impact, not only at the media level, but also in the political and business circles.

The phone number of Kansai Chess Academy has been blown up, and the Japan Chess Academy is not inferior. In addition to some politicians and parliamentarians who usually pay attention to Go, they also include large conglomerates in Tokyo.

It was not until this time that Yamashita's great faith felt the weight of the name "Koshi Chihara", but after Kamaya Yuyuki learned about these things, he became more afraid.

However, in the afternoon, he felt not only fear, but also extreme anger, because Chihara Hiroshi was interviewed by NHK—

"Teacher Chihara, what prompted you to make this decision?"

"The fuse is the matter of Senior Fujisawa. Until now, the Japanese Chess Institute has not given an explanation, and I have almost ignored my concerns before. From this incident, we can see the arrogance of the senior executives of the Chess Institute. Since that is the case, I have to leave."

“Is this the only thing?”

"Well, if there is one, I would like to make it clear that no matter which organization it is, it is not a good thing for a person to work in a certain position for too long. Otherwise, it will be like a machine, with old wear and tear, let alone parts that have been used for nearly thirty years!"
