I am a literary giant in Japan

In the novel plot.

The client told Hanzawa that Higashida, the owner of Nishi Osaka Steel Co., Ltd., also had a property in Hawaii.

If the property could be acquired and auctioned first, part of the huge debt owed by Dongtian could be recovered.

Moreover, with the character of Dongtian, he must have many hidden assets in other places!

Hanzawa, who has been working hard to collect debts these days, finally sees the dawn of victory.

Just when he was about to roll up his sleeves and get to work, his best friend Kondo brought him some bad news:

Due to health problems, he is about to be transferred by the bank's human resources department to a subordinate machinery company as a supervisor.

"Well, anyway, just do your best."

Hanzawa couldn't help but feel disgusted with himself for saying this.

Because he felt that the unpleasant part of this organization called the Bank had permeated his words and his tone of voice intact.

At the beginning, Hanzawa, who was independent and had his own code of conduct and ideas, seemed to be slowly corroded by this system.

Because of Kondo's incident, four classmates who had not seen each other for a long time reunited again.

Watari and Hanzawa took great pains to avoid talking about the word "expatriate," as if they didn't care at all, which made Kondo feel even more uncomfortable.

With the addition of Liu Tian, ​​an extremely disharmonious atmosphere arose.

"What about your single-family home?"

Liu Tian asked cautiously.

This is the preferential employee housing that the bank promised to Kondo's family. It is located in the city of Tokyo and the location is quite good.

When Kondo first mentioned this, everyone lamented that working in Tokyo was better than in Osaka or Kyoto.

Unexpectedly, after all the back and forth, everything the bank promised turned out to be empty talk.

"It's all gone to waste. There's nothing I can do about it." Kondo looked relaxed.

"Hey, hey, there's nothing you can say. I'm furious with those guys in the HR department because of you."

Watari Mamoru was the first to vent his anger. He ran around for this matter, but in the end he was played around by the guys in the Human Resources Department.

"It's useless to say anything at this point," Liu Tian said soothingly, "This is how banks work, and everyone knows it."

"You're used to being domesticated, Liu Tian." Perhaps he could no longer tolerate Kondo's dispatch, so Watari retorted unprecedentedly.

"It's because they know that even if they do this to you, you can only complain like this that the guys in the HR department get carried away.

Listen carefully, the so-called human resources department likes to test us with transfers that we don't like or are not satisfactory to us.

If you buy a house, it is common for you to be transferred to a position that requires moving.

The newly built house was confiscated and turned into company housing, and then lent to someone who had no idea where he came from, while the owner was sent to a distant place to live in the company dormitory.

Is there such a weird thing?
In this case, isn't it similar to the right of first night in the Middle Ages? "

"You've gone a bit too far, Watari." Hanzawa said, gently picking up the wine glass of Watari, who had never spoken so rapidly, and poured him a glass of light wine diluted with water. Watari also capriciously added some shochu into it.

"That's not too much. I used to think of the bank as a place where I could work for the rest of my life, but I don't think so anymore.

But in the end I still work in a bank, but what about this bank?

Let’s take a look back at our thirties. Did banks ever respond to our expectations, even for one thing?
The handling of bad debts, failure to increase basic wages, and deduction of bonuses are all taken for granted.

When I first joined the bank, I was admired and flattered by others. Now that they hear that you are a bank employee, not only are people envious of you, they even try to avoid you as much as possible.

What is our life? "

Watari slammed the table lightly with his fist.

Liu Tian muttered to the side: "Ah, that's right."

"In the end, the lives of us bank employees may have been coated with a layer of gold at the beginning, but gradually fell off layer by layer, revealing our true colors and the foundation, and finally just continued to rust." Watari Mamoru continued relentlessly.

Although he worked in the financing department of the Tokyo head office, he had no background and was probably under even greater pressure and bullying there.

It's normal to have so much resentment in your heart.

"Don't say such sad things." Kondo smiled, "I don't want to get rusty yet. Everything depends on how you understand it, that's what I think."

"That's called compromise."

Kondo ignored Liu Tian's ridicule and continued, "Banks don't represent everything, and there are more professions than just bank clerks.

The bad thing about banks is that they have instilled in everyone a sense of fear that banks are the boss of the world and that one cannot survive without being a bank employee.

So I pinned my dreams on being sent abroad.

Although I am no longer a bank clerk, it would be nice if I could make some contribution to a company quietly.

I don’t feel like I’ve been stripped of my gilded luster. I’m quite happy with my expatriate assignment.”

Hanzawa hesitated to speak and looked at Kondo.

“Honestly, as long as I’m in the bank, I can’t expect to have a better job than this.

Although the condition has improved, the history of having the illness cannot be erased.

Once a label is put on, there is no way to get it off.

So I am really happy to be given a new world and an environment where I can start from scratch.

Even if you go to a small or medium-sized enterprise, that's fine. I'll leave my dream to you."

There seemed to be no regret in Kondo's words.

“Banks are an organization that practices errorism in everything.

The credit for improved performance will disappear with the next job transfer, but mistakes will never disappear.

There is no loser resurrection system in the bank. It is an elimination tournament where once you fall, there is no chance of recovery.

Therefore, those who fall down can only disappear.

This is called the banking rule.

Even so - no matter how the world views banks as an organization, you have to work in a bank and gamble your life as a member of a bank.

The inevitable result of this pyramid-shaped structure is that there are winners and losers.

But if the cause of failure is due to incompetent superiors giving wrong orders and the organization's deafness and irresponsibility, isn't this an offense and blasphemy to a person's life?

That’s not the kind of organization we want to work for, and that’s not the kind of organization we want to be in.”

As Xiaobo Iwaya read these touching words, she suddenly felt that all work seemed to be like this.

As an ordinary worker like me, I am not afraid of failure or taking responsibility.

I have many ideals in my heart and I am willing to make every effort to realize them.

But I can never accept Kondo's tragic fate!

When the reason for failure is due to an incompetent boss, as a subordinate, do you have to pay for it?

"It's so well written. No wonder it can top the Oricon sales chart even though it's popular literature that people don't think highly of!"

After watching the latest episode of "Hanzawa Naoki", Xiaoba Iwaya praised Kitagawa Hide from the bottom of her heart.

The popularity of "Hanzawa Naoki" boosted the extremely niche literary magazine "Dazhong".

Even a newly established magazine like this can take off, let alone a leading magazine like "MOE" that has long dominated the same type of market.

Iwaya Xiaobo is now more confident about "The Little Prince"!

"Hanzawa Naoki", a novel that takes a different approach and is completely different from previous novels of the same type, set off a terrifying book-buying frenzy in Japan in July.

The concise and fast writing style, the straightforward and exciting plot, and Mr. Beichuan's golden signboard, made this popular literature novel, which was not favored by industry insiders when it was first published, a complete hit!

For Japanese readers who usually only read pure literature and occasionally read detective literature by Keigo Higashino and others, "Hanzawa Naoki" is like opening the door to a new world for them.

It turns out that novels can convey thoughts and feelings without using extremely obscure words, and novels do not have to be written like masterpieces to be called literature.

As long as everyone likes to read it, is suitable for all ages, and can enjoy it and learn something in the reading process, it is a high-quality literary work!
The July issue of "Mass" also caused a sensation, with sales of an astonishing 7 copies on the first day of publication.

For a magazine that has only been published for a short time, such sales data means that it can survive forever.

Of course, today, Ishida Taijun, who was recently promoted to deputy editor-in-chief, knows that his colleagues in the editorial department of "Dazhong" have already changed their goal from "not being delisted" to "striving to surpass "Kitagawa" and even "Wenyi"!
After working in the editorial department of "Dazhong" for two or three months, Ishida Taijun quickly grew from a failed doctoral exam candidate to a qualified novel editor.

He benefited a lot from communicating with Mr. Kitagawa about "Hanzawa Naoki". Before that, because he was in an ivory tower, he had some biased views on popular literature.

But now, Ishida Taijun does not think that popular literature is inferior to pure literature at all.

Just as Mr. Beichuan said, no matter whether it is popular literature or pure literature, as long as it can make readers give a thumbs up and be willing to take money out of their pockets to buy it, it is a good book!

The only thing that worries him is that as the plot of "Hanzawa Naoki" progresses, the feeling of "an eye for an eye, double the amount" becomes stronger and stronger.

The novel also mentions a number of financial institutions and national economic conditions, which were topics that could not even be mentioned in the past.

Fortunately, Mr. Kitagawa is famous enough, and "Hanzawa Naoki" has seized the loophole of "science fiction future", so he doesn't have to be constantly criticized.

As the editor-in-chief of this novel, Ishida Taijun has actually read all the plots of the first part.

A few days ago, when Teacher Beichuan suddenly handed him the finished manuscript, he was stunned and it took him a long time to recover.

He has seen many writers who delay submitting manuscripts or stop updating. There are many similar authors in "Dazhong", and his colleagues complain about them every day.

But there is only one writer like Mr. Kitagawa who completes the manuscript on time and in full quantity every time, and sometimes even completes it ahead of schedule or in excess of the quantity, in Ishida Taijun's life!

After watching all the plots of the first part of "Hanzawa Naoki", the only word left in Ishida Taijun's mind was "admiration".

Now on the Internet, everyone is discussing what Hanzawa's real purpose is in joining the bank.

As the plot progresses, even the dullest reader will realize that something is wrong.

During the interview, Hanzawa was obviously lying to the interviewer.

His unique and eccentric behavior in the bank also indirectly confirms this point.

However, netizens still cannot figure out the reason why Hanzawa Naoki lied, and they don’t know how the subsequent plot will develop.

The more you read, the more enjoyable it is, and the more enjoyable it is, the more you want to read!

Mr. Beichuan cleverly hides all these suspense in one short story after another, making readers unable to stop reading.

From this point of view alone, in Ishida Yasujun's opinion, Mr. Kitagawa's writing skills in popular literature novels have already reached the level of perfection.

"Alas, I hope that when the final chapter of the first part of the novel comes out, it won't cause too much of a sensation."

Yasujun Ishida felt like he was walking a tightrope with Mr. Kitagawa. If he was not careful, he might fall to the bottom and never recover.

the other side.

After the latest serialized chapter of "Hanzawa Naoki" was released, the gathering of the four Hanzawas and their discussion on the banking industry dealt another blow to the weak Industrial Central Bank!
Kondo, who was sent abroad due to his boss's fault, Watari who was frustrated in the head office, Liu Tian who was completely tamed by the bank, and Hanzawa, who they said "has no desires and is most suitable to be a bank clerk."

Compared with the ambitions of the first four people when they first entered the bank, their respective endings at this time are truly regrettable.

It turns out that bank employees are not as glamorous as they appear to the outside world.

It turns out that the workplace is a bloody exchange of interests and social relationships from beginning to end.

Kitagawa Hide shattered the outside world's illusions about banks with one plot after another, and exposed the true situation of Japanese society in the simplest and most brutal way.

Having previously spent a large sum of money to purchase the copyright of "Hanzawa Naoki", the Industrial Central Bank now fully understands what it means to shoot oneself in the foot!
Both the president and the vice president kept bowing and apologizing to the public and the board of directors, expressing their regret for their "stupid behavior."

Even so, the share price of Industrial Central Bank still plummeted from its original highest point, all the way to the bottom, reaching an unprecedented low!

Other banks are not doing well either.

The impact of "Hanzawa Naoki" on the banking industry was devastating.

In this novel, any discerning person can see that Japan's main banking system is the hidden big boss in the novel.

The protagonist Hanzawa is constantly fighting against this big BOSS.

The people who are deeply influenced by Hanzawa naturally have no good feelings towards banks.

In mid-July, the Ministry of Finance released the latest statistics on newly recruited bank employees.

The number of new employees in more than 0 banks is , which is shocking! (End of this chapter)
