Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 764 Madman

"What kind of place is a bank?" Eriko said. "Before I joined the bank, I had a vision for this place. At that time, I had just graduated from Hokkaido University and came to Tokyo alone."

"When I was still a graduate, I joined the Industrial Central Bank. It was a very good job in those days. Just imagine working in a big bank, in a magnificent high-rise building, wearing neat and beautiful uniforms. It can be said that it completely satisfied a college graduate's imagination of a white-collar job."

"Hey, hey, hey." Kitahara sneered, "Ms. Eriko, you're not going to say that you used to be a student full of justice, are you?"

"I'm not a good person, but I'm a serious person." Eriko's eyes became sharp. "I'm used to doing things to the extreme. Not for wealth, not for competition, not for fame, but to allow myself to have complete control over things."

"I long to control things, I long to control my own destiny. I am a person with a desire for control. But I have always hidden this desire for control very well. At least on the surface, I am harmless in the eyes of others."

"I'm afraid you can't call this a desire for control," Kitahara said. "You should call this a desire for power. After leaving the Tokyo Central Bank, you continued to build up your own power in the bank, and recently even interfered with the selection of the president. With all due respect, this is not just a wife trying to control her husband, this so-called desire for control is as simple as that."

The corners of Jiang Lizi's mouth curled up. If it were any other time, seeing such a woman's smile, she would feel kind and friendly. But if she knew her true identity, she would probably feel terrified.

"I soon realized that banks are even more hypocritical than I thought." Eriko continued, "They lend you an umbrella when it's sunny and take it away when it's raining. This saying couldn't be more appropriate. When the business is doing well, they beg you for loans. But once the business goes wrong, they callously withdraw the loans."

"As for the relationships among colleagues in the industry, they are even more hypocritical. People at the same level are two-faced. On the surface, they are on good terms with you, but behind your back they turn around and start to slander you. The relationship between superiors and subordinates is even more monotonous. It's nothing more than flattery and fawning, and you have to run around for an idea that suddenly pops up in your superior's mind."

"But you have worked your way up to become the director of the Third Financing Department of the Industrial Central Bank in such an environment." Kitahara said, "Your cynical attitude doesn't match your upward mobility. I thought that since you had such an idea, you would be in a certain position in the bank, aloof and independent, and never interact with others."

"I said, I'm not a good person, but I'm a serious person." Jiang Lizi said, "Being aloof is a stupid idea."

"But I heard that you once rejected a request from a director of the Industrial Central Bank to lend to related companies." Kitahara said.

"The reason I refused was not because of compliance with regulations, but because the company was really bad. Although it is a large company, its engine valve technology is already half a generation to a generation behind its competitors. The cash flow situation is really too bad. Lending to this company will only drag me down in the end." Eriko said emotionlessly.

There is a clear difference between what I heard from the person involved and what I heard from Shirai.

During the few minutes of conversation, Kitahara felt that there was a void in Eriko's heart, with almost no emotion in it.

For a moment, Kitahara seemed to see himself.

Two people with almost no emotions in their hearts sat opposite each other here.

The continuous rain in Tokyo suddenly became heavy.

A burst of raindrops hit the floor-to-ceiling window, making a crackling sound.

It was vaguely visible that a strong wind was blowing in Tokyo.

Pedestrians on the road were dodging and running into nearby stores or subway entrances.

But in the lobby of the top floor club of Aobadai Apartment, it was still quiet.

"I want to ask you a question." Kitahara suddenly interrupted.

"what is the problem."

"Since you always want to control everything, you must be controlling for a purpose." Beiyuan said, "You can't say that you control for the sake of control. The reason why you want to control the people and things around you must be for a purpose. After you control these resources and manpower, what do you want to do?"

Kitahara caught an incongruity in Eriko's words.

A person who desires power will inevitably want to use his power to do something.

And until now, Eriko has never said anything.

This is a huge anomaly. Eriko looked at Kitahara and said:

"You are the third person to ask me this question."

"Who are the other two people?"

"One is Eto."

"There's another one."

Eriko didn't say anything.

"Who is it?!" Kitahara asked.

Eriko still didn't say anything.

Silence followed.

"Okay. Then can you tell me why you want to control everything and what your purpose is?"

"Have you read a book by Charles, an 18th-century French philosopher?" Eriko began, "In a book called 'A New World', this philosopher envisioned his idea of ​​a utopia. It is a new world without pain, hatred, but only happiness and peace."

"What do you mean."

“When I was a student, I wrote a paper.”

"What do you want to say?"

"This paper is called "On the Human Heaven on Earth: A Study of Social Experiments in the Past Two Hundred Years."

For some reason, Kitahara smelled an extremely dangerous aura. His instinct told him that this Eriko was probably the most dangerous person he had ever met.

"You asked me what I would do after I gained power," Eriko said. "I can tell you that I want to build a paradise on earth."

Beiyuan couldn't believe his ears. The woman in front of him actually expressed her thoughts. Her goal was to build a paradise on earth. No matter who it was, no one could imagine that a strong woman working in a bank would have such an absurd idea.

However, Eriko's expression was serious.

She said this very seriously.

As she said, she is not a nice person, but she is a serious person.

At this moment, Kitahara understood Eriko.

Both he and Eriko are cold-blooded people with almost no emotions in their hearts.

The only difference is——

Kitahara is an extremely rational calculator.

And Eriko is an extreme lunatic!
