Chapter 158: Chapter 143: ZAGE New Year Meetings 1



As the meeting commenced, Zaboru cleared his throat and addressed the team with a confident smile. "First, I want to discuss the structure of our company leadership. As you all know, each of you here holds a key position: Shinsuke-san as Head of Marketing, Kudou as Head of Legal Affairs, Yugo as Head of Game Quality Control, Yuna as Head of Game Development, and Sayuri-san managing both Finance and Administration. However, our responsibilities are still quite fluid, and at times, we all step in to help in different areas. Sayuri-san, in particular, has been handling two departments simultaneously!"

Sayuri smiled modestly. "For the Finance sector, the employees have been doing a great job. I mostly oversee their work and offer guidance when needed. As for Administration, our team is well-organized and efficient, which lightens my workload."

Zaboru chuckled. "You're too modest, Sayuri-san. The truth is, your leadership is a critical factor in the success of both departments."

Shinsuke, her husband, beamed with pride at the praise directed at his wife. Meanwhile, Yugo and Yuna listened intently, knowing their own departments were next in focus.

"Now, regarding Yugo and Yuna," Zaboru continued, "although your departments are separate, you often work on the same tasks—developing and testing games. Moving forward, I want to refine these roles. Yuna's department will focus entirely on game development, while Yugo's department will take charge of testing—not only our own games but also those from third-party developers who want their games on the ZEPS system. We need strict quality control to ensure that every game functions properly before it reaches players. So the ZEPS library will not be overwhelmed by bad games, Yugo, do you have any concerns?"

Yugo's eyes widened. "But Boss-sama! I still want to make games!"

Zaboru chuckled, already expecting this reaction. "Oh, will Yugo. But remember, your work in quality control will give you valuable experience. By playing and testing many different games, you'll gain insights that will make you an even better developer in the future , also your department not only for testing but also need for security to ensure there`s nothing malicious on third party games that want to be released to your console."

Yugo's eyes lit up as he considered this perspective, then nodded enthusiastically. "I see! That makes sense."

Zaboru smiled. "Of course, we'll continue expanding both of your departments so neither of you are overwhelmed. Now, Kudou, how is your legal team holding up? Do you have enough manpower to handle ZAGE's legal affairs?"

Kudou nodded. "So far, we have enough personnel to manage everything. But if our workload increases, I'll let you know right away."

"Good. Now, let's move on to the HR department. As you all know, we don't yet have an official Head of Human Resources. I've been monitoring a candidate—Ichidai Kenzaki. So far, he has done a commendable job leading our HR division as temporary lead. The new recruits have been solid, and we haven't faced any major HR issues. I plan to officially promote him to Head of HR in the near future. Any concerns?"

The room remained silent, indicating their agreement.

"Alright, then. Moving on—Sayuri-san, managing both Finance and Administration has been a heavy burden. I want you to focus on just one department moving forward. Which role would you prefer, and do you have someone in mind to replace you in the other?"

Sayuri smiled warmly. "I'd like to stay in Finance. As for Administration, I recommend Rika Kishimori. She's incredibly hardworking and dedicated to her role. I believe she's ready to step up."

Zaboru nodded in approval. "That's a great suggestion. I'll notify Rika Kishimori soon, but we'll need to test her first to ensure she's the right fit."

Sayuri nodded, fully trusting the evaluation process.

Zaboru then leaned back in his chair and grinned. "Now that we've sorted out the internal structuring, let me give you a little spoiler—there will be bonuses for all employees this evening! That includes all of you, of course."

Excited murmurs filled the room, and some of them chuckled in appreciation they already know that their young boss is not stingy.

"With that out of the way," Zaboru continued, "let's shift our focus to what ZAGE accomplished last year. We'll review our successes, identify areas for improvement, and set our goals for 1992."

The room became silent as everyone prepared for the next phase of the meeting, eager to reflect on the company's progress and strategize for an even brighter future.
