Takaharu is a rude one, but Hashida is the villain that did the most damage to her own company by making unrealistic requests behind Takaharu's back and pinning the responsibility on him

Poor takuharu, sure, he had his own fault for asking keiichi discount but he just did that because his superior asked to... Meanwhile for hashida, she was the real problem... Even though the construction company changed, she asked so much to that construction company and made a problem to the stadium they built... And she blamed takuharu for every mess she made

Hashida is an awful boss with giving her subordinates orders that make it impossible to achieve and doesn’t even communicate to them when their are changes to the project.

While Takuharu had his faults, he's just doing what he's been ordered. Hashida is the real problem her for asking unrealistic demands and even changed the plan without telling her subordinates.

Honestly? Takuharu wasn’t even that much of an antagonist. I mean sure he was focused on profit too and had his own problems with Keichi. It was his superior that was the root cause of all their issues. Pushing for a discount on such a large deal as well as interfering with someone else’s negotiations with their clients, and behind his back at that? I would have reported her to the higher-ups instead of bashing heads with her. In the end, Hashida dragged him down for the problems she caused, and she had the nerve to say it was all his fault.

When Ms. Hashida interfered to cut costs more and said the fault was with him, Takaharu should've quit right then and there 😂

It's very disrespectful for ignoring someone while doing business.

Here comes Keiichi's smile again

This is the most realistic, because Takuharu followed directions, and got no support from his leadership.

Keyword: "The Offer"

Once again, NEVER make your client wait and dont expect for a bargain offer when it comes to construction projects. Takuharu shouldnt screw up the deal with Keiichi if they give you the best options. He just let himself destroy his career. 😑

Acting like brats during business meetings and ignoring the person whose doing that business automatically destroys trust and business. They had this coming how they acted.

Ugh. I don't know what the guy did to his voice for Takaharu, but it was so grating to listen to.

10 million is already vastly below market value for a stadium. Bump that up to 35 and you have the renovation costs for a small one.

These people are insanely greedy.

While Takeharu was rude, it's clear that the issue was Ms Hashida, who not only pushed him, but went behind his back to destroy all progress.

Keiichi  once again demonstrating his views on  the importance trust.   And ignoring someone fit 2 whole hours? Takuharu sure knew his to ruin his career.  And Hashida didn’t know his to coordinate either her team.

I Like This Manga and Romance Couples 💝💚

If you're going to be this disrespectful towards the other party during a meeting, it's only natural that they decide to terminate the contract and move on to a different company. I don't know why these 2 are shocked by this outcome.

Both antagonists were such waste of oxygen and they should consider themselves lucky that they didn't end up homeless because of their own selfishness.
Also, the fact that the true antagonist cared only about profits forgetting about the quality of the service, says a lot regarding how much competent she is...and I feel sorry for the CEO that such moron as employee and that almost doomed the whole company.

You could clearly smell the incompetence, arrogance, greed, pettiness, selfishness, vanity, boasting, ignorance (although ironically they weren't stupid), superficiality, disrespect and their disdain for Keiichi from the start for two stupid reasons: they thought he wasn't rich or important or anything just because they already determined that he wasn't, just because they weren't given obvious signs that he was "dressed in gold", i.e. they judge clients by what they think they are worth (ego) or by appearances (BUSINESS IN REAL LIFE NEVER WORKS LIKE THAT AND IT'S A STUPID AND DANGEROUS MENTALITY); And the second was the attire, that is, although it is important to make a good impression and have good formal clothes for these circumstances, it does not give you the right to disrespect them, ignore them, look down on them or despise that or those clients just because in your head (their egos), it seems to them that it is the right thing to do, because they feel conceited or because they are very superficial.

By the way, it is noticeable that this is NOT the first time they have done this and of course, it would not be the last time they would do it. Although it is just my speculation and in this case it WAS just an exception to the rule because they decided in unison to belittle Keiichi for those inflated egos, it is probably that this company, obsessed with appearances, numbers and big, quick and easy profits, as I said before they are driven by arrogance and greed, is one of those "dark" and even corrupt companies that would do anything to use you, despise you and get as much money out of you as possible, as long as it seems legal and honest on the surface... Come on, they would directly rob you without thinking twice just to satisfy their egos and their greed/pleasures, letting themselves be blinded by these. Bottom line: Keiichi ultimately made the wise decision to no longer do business with them because clearly SOMETHING BAD WAS HAPPENING OR BREWING THERE and that was just the surface and perhaps the beginning of that bad thing in question, in fact, probably, if Keiichi ultimately decided to accept not only those bad, unfair and incoherent deals towards him or his pocket, this company would feel emboldened to start doing or continue doing this to other clients, even to do it more often and more forcefully because they would think that this is easy to do and without consequences, that they can always get away with it and that no one would notice or act to stop them.

15:47 Keiichi!! You lucky....ahem congratulations on the completion of the stadium project.
