Eat and drink enough.

Next is the karaoke and dancing program.

Several etiquette ladies were arranged to go out with Shimizu, and Yuquan Juyou and Shiga Prefecture Chairman Kikuchi got together again.

"What do you think, Yu Quanjun?"

"Nagano is just talking without thinking. He doesn't even consider our difficulties. If we set a precedent for promotion and salary increase, it will only cause more and more trouble."

"How can a young master like them, who is at the top of the food chain, understand this? Let alone the section chief, even we are probably just cabbages in his eyes!"

"So Shimizu-kun's method is not bad, what do you think?"

"Of course you can, but who should we find? What if we end up making things worse and end up having something to hold against us?"

"Didn't Watanabe get diagnosed with liver cancer? His son is about to graduate, so he will definitely agree!"

"That's true! And Cao Jian is a very ambitious kid. Why don't you take care of him as well?"

“.”

Shiga Prefecture.

It is called Shengbao Branch.

After hanging up the phone, Vice President Tadashi Watanabe, who had reached retirement age, thought for a long time.

Finally, a helpless sigh came out of his mouth.

I don't have much time left, and it's a blessing that I can still give out my last bit of energy to the company at this time!

at the same time.

President's office.

Kusanagi Hiro's butt was half resting on the chair, his body stretched straight, and he looked obviously nervous.

Otsuka Masatoshi saw through Kusanagi's heart. He lit a cigarette and said with concern, "Kusanagi, you must be worried about this matter, right? But please think carefully, why did the company choose you among so many people? It's because Kusanagi is a down-to-earth person with a strong will! There are very few opportunities to take responsibility for the company like this. In the future, who can stop you from becoming a peerless dragon after making such a great sacrifice for the company?"

"I understand what you mean, President! But I want to know how long it will take to come out. After all, Yoko and I are already engaged, so..."

"According to convention, it will take about three to five years!"

"Ah, so long?"

"Kusagi, you know Miss Yoko's family. Even if you get married, can you stay together forever in your current situation? Three to five years is just a rough estimate. I'm only telling you the worst possible outcome. But once this is over, society will use all its connections to weaken the consequences of this incident, and maybe it will come out in a year or two."

"Can I think about this?"

"Of course! But tonight, I hope to get your answer. Also, this is my personal opinion, it has nothing to do with the company, you understand what I mean, right?"

“.”

In Japan, there has always been a famous saying: It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

Just like the inheritance of surnames, the surname a person is born with basically determines what he or she will do in the future, as well as his or her status.

A fish killer is most likely to kill fish, no matter how talented he is in sports.

For a ramen maker, the most likely outcome in the future is that he will go home and inherit a ramen restaurant, no matter how much he hates making ramen.

It was only after the Meiji era, with the cultural reform, that ordinary people had a glimmer of hope. They were able to seize the opportunity to change their destiny through studying and become the backbone of society and elite talents.

But this elite group is also divided according to clear unspoken rules.

If you are an elite in science and engineering, you will receive generous treatment if you work for a large company, and according to seniority, you will be able to join the middle class in the future.

If you are a scientific research talent, you will be even more popular. Someone will arrange money, beauty and social status for you, so you don't have to worry about your career at all.

pity.

Cao Jian majored in finance.

At that time, I heard that the financial industry had high incomes and was at the top of the food chain, so I studied hard and was admitted to the Faculty of Economics at Kyoto University.

I hope to enter the financial industry after graduation, succeed in life, and gain fame and fortune.

After graduation.

As he wished, Cao Jian entered the most powerful insurance company in the financial circle. With great enthusiasm, he worked in the company year after year, hoping to change his destiny through hard work.

But over the years, he has discovered that ideals are full of hope, but reality is very hard.

Among the colleagues who came with me at the same time, those who deserved to be promoted have already been promoted to the departmental level, and even those who were not so good have made it to the position of section chief.

And he was transferred from one region to another, from one county to another, and now he is just a lowest-level supervisor.

reason?

Those who got promoted were all direct or collateral descendants of the major families.

From the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Finance to the Bureau of Accounting and Statistics, the Bureau of Taxation, the Bureau of Customs, the Bureau of Finance, the Bureau of Securities, the Bureau of Banking, the Bureau of International Finance, as well as the Mint, the Bureau of Printing and other departments, the worst who can climb up are those who come from poor families.

In the major financial companies, those who can climb to the positions of department head and above are all children from the poorest families, or simply the heirs of major families.

Either they are from Keio University, Waseda University or the University of Tokyo. Their families either have a huge influence in politics or have the ability to call the shots in the financial and business circles.

These bastards have no interest in manufacturing at all. They form cliques, exclude dissidents, and completely control the financial circle. Ordinary people don't stand a chance at all.

It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son? It is unfortunate.

The ancestors of the Kusanagi family were not very promising, and they were not even from a poor family.

Because the poor families mainly refer to the declining aristocratic families, wealthy families, and prominent families, rather than the penniless poor families.

Just like other branches of the samurai family, the descendants of the side branches of the Chinese family at least once owned houses and fertile land. They were considered poor only after their decline.

If one has never entered the political circle, even if his ancestors have some land, he would at best be considered a commoner.

After looking through the Kusanagi family tree for seven or eight generations, no connection was found with the nobility or daimyo.

According to the pre-Edo period, people like him were at best vagrants or mobs.

Not even a commoner! In this country where family name and bloodline determine everything, the poor at least have a door, they can enter the financial circle and touch the ceiling, but below the commoner there is no door, how can they be qualified to talk about the ceiling.

For a long time.

Cao Jian regretted choosing finance as his major.

People like him should choose science and engineering and become a technician, rather than stepping into the financial circle.

At least, according to the rules of society, if you are technically capable, you can at least reach your limit.

But the financial circle is completely the territory of those bastards, and common people can only do odd jobs and run errands, just like a servant.

But now, there is a huge opportunity in front of us.

promise!

Still don't agree?!

the next day.

The Kansai Headquarters Audit Division and the Internal Affairs Department jointly formed an investigation team and entered the Nihon Seiho Branch in Shiga Prefecture.

No notification was received.

All members of the Shiga Prefecture branch were temporarily asked to be questioned in the general conference room.

After making these arrangements, Kitano Kotake sealed all the relevant files of the branch and began the audit review.

Sudden audit.

The branch office was in a state of panic, with employees sitting restlessly in the general office, all looking frightened and uneasy.

Just at this moment.

An old man suddenly stood up: "Section Chief Kitano!"

"My name is Watanabe Masatoshi. During the years I served as the president, I had cancer and needed to go abroad for treatment, so..."

The old man said.

Suddenly he knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

He explained in detail how he had embezzled company assets by falsifying accounts and accepting bribes during his years as vice president.

There were accounts totaling up to 600 billion yuan, and every single item was recorded. The investigation team was shocked by what they saw.

Kitano Kotake was so angry that he shouted, "Watanabe, you bastard. As the president, you stole from the company. Are you worthy of the company's training, the trust of the society and the people?"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"How can you manage such a large amount of funds by yourself? There must be someone cooperating with you, right?"

With a plop.

A young man knelt down.

Kusanagi Yoichi burst into tears and confessed his crimes.

It turned out that Cao Jian had met a girl with a good family background and they were engaged.

However, due to his humble background and poor family, Kusanagi conspired with Watanabe in order to give his girlfriend a perfect marriage. As the head of the financial department, he helped him to falsify accounts and embezzle property.

It also completely matches the accounts of the company's asset loss.

Next, the Living Economy Investigation Division intervened. After interrogation, they confirmed that there was no doubt about the two criminals and took them into custody, awaiting the next step of judgment.

The matter has come to an end here.

Kitano Kotake bowed with emotion to the brave young man Koike Uji.

"This time we were able to investigate and punish some of the bad guys in the company, thanks to your courage and responsibility, Koike. Please continue to do a good job and make more contributions to the company and society. Koike-kun! Please do your best!"

"This is what I should do! I will definitely work hard!"

"Yoshi! Yoshi! It's over now. I should go back to the headquarters and report to the president. He has been very angry about this matter these days. Now I can finally report to him."

"Master Kitano, take care!"

With excitement.

Koike Uji watched Kitano and his group leave.

Thinking of the encouragement he had received, he realized that he had helped the company find a bunch of bad apples this time. With such a great contribution, he should be able to get a promotion and a raise! He turned around and went to the company.

With one hundred and twenty times the excitement and excitement, Koike Yuji's heart was filled with joy that justice had triumphed over evil.

suddenly.

He felt like something was wrong.

The person who used to have a good relationship with me now has a very strange look in his eyes, as if there is something indescribable.

Why are you looking at me like that? ! ! Oh! You must be jealous of my promotion! At this time.

President Masatoshi Otsuka called out, "Koike-kun, please come to the office."

"Ha Yi!"

After entering the door.

Xiaochi was excited and looking forward to the next reward.

Otsuka Masatoshi did not disappoint him. He bowed deeply and said, "I never thought Watanabe and Kusanagi would be such bastards. Thanks to you, Koike, for discovering the incident in time, we were able to avoid a greater loss of the company's assets."

"These are what Xiaochi should do. I will definitely continue to work hard!"

"Yoshi, yoshi! Xiaochi-kun's responsibility and bravery are really admirable! This is the case. In view of your sense of responsibility, Xiaochi-kun, the company has a very important task for you to complete. Do you have the confidence?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and even though he had expected it, Koike Youji couldn't help but feel hot on his face.

"On the first day of arriving at the company, Xiaochi was already prepared to provide souls for the company, so he was confident that he could complete any task."

"Very good. It's like this, because the company is about to set up an office in China, we need someone who is very capable and responsible to run the office. Koike-kun has always been very good at the sales department."

Go to Huaxia? Head an office?

Koike Youji felt very disappointed, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't hear what the president said next.

What is Huaxia? The company has been accepting trainees since last year, so he has learned a little bit out of curiosity.

Those trainees are all top talents from various universities in China, or the children of some powerful figures. However, after completing their training, these guys would rather go out to work in restaurants and sleep in basements at night, rather than go back home.

Now asking me to go to China, isn't this a punishment? "Xiao Chi-kun, why do you look so bad? Is there something wrong with your body?"

"no."

"That's good! Take good care of yourself recently and don't delay your work. By the way, prepare for the next two days. The office should be established by the end of the month, and you and Hamao-kun can go there together then."

Hamao?

Hearing this name, Xiao Chi felt even shakier in his heart.

Because before this incident, the first person he found was the director Hamao Arata, but he was warned not to affect the company's reputation.

"Mr. President."

"Anything else? Don't you have confidence in yourself, Xiaochi? Or do you want to disobey the company's arrangement?"

“.”

Why is this happening?

The other side.

Naoyo Nagano took the audit investigation document handed over by Kitano Kotake and glanced at it casually.

A vice president and a head of the financial department.

Oh shit!

These guys are so shameless.

They actually dragged a cancer patient to take the blame! Nagano Nao saw through the trick at a glance.

But in life, you have to act stupid when you need to, just like he has been acting stupid in front of Sakurako Ikeda.

Throw the report to Kitano.

Thinking of the time bomb of Koike Yuji, Nagano Nao asked calmly: "Such a serious problem has occurred in Shiga Prefecture, Kitano, do you know where you went wrong?"

"Ha Yi!"

"These are turbulent times, and I don't want to see another Shiga Prefecture."

"Ha Yi!"

"What about the boy?"

"It was thrown to China."

"I heard that the security in China is not very good!"

"The economy is bad and the public security is indeed not very good. I will ask them to pay attention to their safety."

"Yes. This exchange between the companies is related to future cooperation, so you must pay attention to safety. If you have nothing else to do, just get out!"

"Ha Yi!"

Kitano Xiaowu bowed and walked away.

Nao Nagano lit a cigarette and looked at the list on the table that Kurata Himiri had handed over to him earlier.

New campus recruitment begins.

All the connections were made.

Whether it's the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, or some officials from local financial groups, the phone calls keep coming and it's really annoying.

But it is not easy to reject these people directly. Personal connections are the bonds that connect us and make us interdependent.

Picking up the phone, Nagano dialed a number. When the other party answered, he asked, "Sato-kun, I asked you to check that guy last time. Have you found any clues?"

"You really guessed it. This kid often receives care from Ampere's forces at Seikei University. It should be similar to what you expected."

"Nonsense. How could Jingtian Heng send such a person to me without a reason?"

"So how are you going to arrange it?"

"Of course I have to keep the gift bag, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea, but I'll have to take care of you, Straight Man-chan, from now on!"

"You creepy pervert, just go die!"

Hang up the phone.

Nagano Nao couldn't help but laugh.

Jingtian Heng is a scheming guy. He knows everything about arranging people around him, but when it comes to Ampere's chess pieces, things are quite interesting.

After all, the Kishi family is the number one family in the political arena.

This guy Iida Yoko is betting on both sides and is actually a very good chess player.

Ring ring ring.

The phone suddenly rang.

After the call was connected, the other party introduced himself and said, "Hello, President Nagano. I am Tengya Jōji from the Accounting Bureau. I want to talk to you about something regarding the national public payment. Can you find a time for us to meet?"

"Well, didn't the institute already have an agreement on this?"

"Ah! Well, mainly because I want to have a meal with President Nagano, so."

A crappy director wants to have dinner with me?

Why don’t you look in the mirror and look at the tentacles on your body!

"I'm sorry, I'm too busy at work. I have a phone call coming in, so I'll hang up first."
