Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 11 The Person in Charge
"Excuse me, junior. I need to go out and make a phone call."

Although Ichiro Haneda is still a newcomer to the company, he has developed a decisive and precise character after more than a year of training at Industrial Bank.

He was worried that things might get worse, so he immediately called his boss.

Of course, he was an unknown newcomer in the bank, so he dared to make a bold decision.

The main reason is that

His immediate superior, Noriyuki Uno, the Shinjuku branch manager of Industrial Bank, also graduated from Waseda University.

As for his relatives in the cabinet, we can only say that they have no connection.

Masato Takeshita nodded and said, "It's okay, please feel free to do as you please."

"Well, sorry!"

After saying that, Ichiro Haneda hurriedly left the hotel, found a public telephone booth nearby, and started calling the president's office.

This senior of mine is a hardworking and involutionary maniac. Unless he needs to go out to contact people, he will never leave the company before 12 o'clock at night.

'"No business, no business, no business..."

Ichiro Haneda quickly dialed the phone, then stamped his feet and cursed his immediate boss under his breath.

"Hello! This is the president's office. May I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Secretary Watanabe. I am Ichiro Haneda from the Sales Department. I have something very important to ask President Uno for instructions."

When Ichiro Haneda heard the voice of the president's secretary, he immediately felt at ease.

According to him, his senior always brought a secretary with him whenever he went out. It wasn't because he had an office affair, but because he needed a secretary and a driver to take him away from social gatherings when he got drunk.

As a promising adult man, you need to protect yourself at all times.

"Okay, sorry, please wait a moment, I will ask the president for instructions right away."

"Well, please help Watanabe-san."

Ichiro Haneda is a popular figure around the president of his own bank. Misato Watanabe did not dare to delay at all and immediately walked quickly towards the meeting room.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

"Sorry for disturbing you!"

Misato Watanabe ignored the smoke-filled office, first apologized to several senior leaders of the branch, and then walked in small steps to the president.

"Ichiro Haneda-san from the Finance Department has something important to discuss with the president over the phone."

"Important?"

Uno Jixing thought about his junior's high-level government connections and wondered if the government had some new plan to carry out? Or did his junior rely on his government connections to help the bank get a large order?

Uno Jixing put aside his wild thoughts and showed an apologetic expression on his face: "Sorry, today's meeting will end here for now. I have something to do now."

"It's a small matter. Please go ahead and do your work, President."

"Don't delay. You're welcome."

The senior executives of the Shinjuku branch expressed their loyalty to their president, and no one dared to express dissatisfaction.

"Ichiro, this is Uno, tell me, what's the matter."

There is a 20-year age difference between Haneda Ichiro and him, so Uno Kiyuki usually takes good care of his younger brother. He is always friendly and relaxed when greeting him.

After all, in Japan, a society that values seniority, a 20-year time gap means that Haneda Ichiro is unlikely to pose a threat to Uno Noriyuki's position and can only be a helper.

"Good evening, President Uno. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I have something great to tell you. But it's a little inconvenient to talk about it over the phone. Can you come to the Duzhiwei restaurant near Shinjuku, room 306?"

"Duzhiwei 306? Yes, no problem, wait a moment."

"Yes, okay." Haneda Ichiro learned his decisive style from Uno Kiyuki, so after hearing his junior's solemn and excited voice, he directly said to the secretary: "Watanabe, go to Shinjuku Doku no Taste right away."

"Yes, President Uno, I'll go get a taxi right away."

"No need, let's go downstairs together."

Uno Jixing was resolute and quick, and soon arrived at Duzhiwei with his driver and secretary.

"Watanabe, Noguchi, you guys go eat something on the second floor first. It's still the same as before."

The so-called old rules, if he didn't come out after 2 hours, the driver and secretary would go to check on him. Other than that, two people could order dinner for no more than 5 yen, which would be reimbursed by the company.

"Yes, thank you, President!"

“Thank you, President!”

Misato Watanabe and Kenichi Noguchi were already accustomed to their president's behavior. After thanking Uno Noriyuki, they quickly found a private room downstairs and sat down.

"Watanabe-san, is this some good news?"

Uno Jiyuki has been worried about the bank's lending business recently. Although he did not show it at work, he could not hide it from his closest secretary and driver.

Tonight, I suddenly felt calm.

Kenichi Noguchi knew that something good must have happened.

"I don't know the details, but Ichiro Haneda from the financing department said there was something very good going on."

A leader's secretary and driver usually maintain a close relationship, which makes it easier for them to share information and take care of the leader's life.

"Oh, I see. That should be a good thing. Haneda-san is the president's junior."

"Yeah, there should be something good."

Just as the president's secretary and the driver were gossiping about their leader, Uno Noriyuki himself walked leisurely to the Duzhiwei box 306.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

"Good evening, Uno-senpai. I'm sorry I couldn't go outside to greet you."

When Ichiro Haneda saw his senior coming, he quickly stood up apologetically.

"It's alright, there's no need for us to be polite. Who is this?"

Uno Jixing looked at the handsome young man in the box and knew that he was the key to tonight. He thought that the good things that his junior said would come true for this young man.

I just don’t know how much benefit there is in it and whether it can help me complete the task assigned by the head office.

There have been too many troubles in the industry recently.

If he could really help him solve some troubles tonight, he would give credit to Ichiro Haneda.

"Hello, Uno-senpai. I'm Masato Takeshita, a third-year student at Waseda University."

Ichiro Haneda once said that when he was not working, the president liked to address Waseda graduates as seniors or juniors, and had a very strong sense of academic cliques.

Although Masato Takeshita is the stronger party, his own strength is relatively weak after all, so it is better for him to follow the style of his senior.

"You are from Waseda too, so we are family. I am Uno Kiyuki, please take care of me in the future!"

Masato Takeshita was tactful, so Uno Kiyuki naturally reciprocated the favor. He directly regarded Masato Takeshita as a partner in the same camp, and his tone was also very equal and gentle.

"I should ask Senior Uno for more care."

Masato Takeshita quickly shook hands with Noriyuki Uno, his tone a little timid. He didn't expect that Senior Uno, who held great power, could be so amiable.
