Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 54: The Bait Must Be Ruthless
November in Tokyo is not beautiful, the grass and trees are withered and the cold wind blows on your face.

But even so, everyone was still very happy after flying back to Tokyo.

After leaving the airport, Takeshita Masato bowed and thanked everyone, saying, "This acquisition went so smoothly, thanks to your help. Although I would like to treat everyone to a big meal to express my gratitude, considering that everyone should be tired, I will not delay your rest time."

"But these meal coupons and red envelopes are my small thanks to you all. I hope you can accept them."

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

What Masato Takeshita hates most is that the company holds a so-called celebration party immediately after he returns from a business trip.

I'm so tired, what's there to celebrate?
So he prepared a dozen luxury restaurant dining tickets worth 20 yen, and a dozen kraft papers containing 30 notes of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

There is no time limit for meal tickets. You can eat whenever you want and with whomever you want. Even if you don't want to eat out, you can sell them to replenish your wallet.

There is no need to explain the red envelopes, everyone understands.

This not only shows gratitude, but also makes everyone feel more relaxed.

Asuka Ryo was very straightforward and was the first to take the meal ticket from Takeshita Masato: "President Takeshita, you are too polite. This is our job and it should be done. But since everyone has a share, I will accept it."

A 20 yen meal voucher and a 30 yen red envelope are nothing to a top law firm partner like Asuka Ryo.

Even if she does nothing for a year, she can still earn tens of millions of yen from the dividends from the law firm.

But these meal coupons and red envelopes are definitely a considerable income for young lawyers who have just started their careers or are yet to start their careers.

The profession of lawyer is not so glamorous during the internship period.

Take China, which Masato Takeshita is more familiar with, as an example.

Not only do intern lawyers not receive any salary, they even have to pay fees to the law firm. Only after a certain number of years of practice and becoming a mid-level lawyer or above can they have a stable income guarantee.

Many trainee lawyers cannot endure this hardship and choose to switch to other fields.

Honma Ryoma also did not refuse, and said with a smile: "I accept it too, thank you President Takeshita."

Although accountants at Deloitte are much better and have a pretty good salary at the beginning, 20 meal coupons + 30 red envelopes are still a considerable income for them.

"You're welcome. Here, yours. This one's yours."

More than a dozen meal tickets and red envelopes were quickly distributed, and Masato Takeshita immediately announced the disbandment, and then took the company-provided business car back home first.

He needs to have a good rest so that he can have enough energy to deal with the date in the evening.

Masato Takeshita announced his disbandment, and the same was true for Ryo Asuka and Ryoma Homma.

At this time, a trainee lawyer who looked like a recent college graduate and full of student spirit looked at the meal tickets and red envelopes in his hands happily and said to his companions, "President Takeshita is really generous. He actually has so many."

A fellow intern lawyer nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this is the first time I have received such a high amount of red envelope. The most I received before was only 10 yen."

Another thin lawyer with a twinkle in his eyes complained: "It's already good, there's still 10. The previous cases I participated in had nothing."

"Then you are indeed more miserable."

At this time, the second person who came up to him, a short intern lawyer, looked up at the sky and said, "I wonder when President Takeshita will have more business. I hope we can still follow him next time." "Yeah, I want to, too."

"Me too, who wouldn't want to?"

The junior lawyers were talking about it, as were the accountants at Deloitte.

Suzuhara Kano and Yasuhara Eri were both top students at Hitotsubashi University, so after successfully joining Deloitte, the two quickly became very good friends.

Later, the two of them simply lived in the same apartment, which made it more convenient for them to communicate.

"It's great that there's no need to eat after finishing the business." The round-faced and cute Suzuhara Kano was sitting on the train, whispering to her bestie.

"Yes, this is the first time I've met such a good client. Not only does he make money, but there aren't so many messy things to deal with." An Yuan Huili, who has short black hair and a neutral style, nodded in agreement.

"Me too. The last time I worked at that company, it was really annoying. After I was done with the work, I had to eat until after 1 o'clock. I almost missed the train."

"Yes, that's great. I wonder if I can meet such a good company next time."

Seeing his friend say this, Suzuhara Kano simply smiled and said jokingly: "Why don't you just go to this company. They are so nice to people outside, so the company's treatment must be good."

An Yuan Huili was stunned after hearing this, and pinched her chin and said, "You know what, it sounds quite reasonable. I'll check it out, and if it's really good, then it's not impossible for me to go there."

"Hey, you're actually going to play for real?"

Suzuhara Kano looked at her best friend in disbelief.

Although joining a foreign giant like Deloitte does not have the strict system of ordinary Japanese companies where you can't basically leave, this is Deloitte, a world-class company.

"So what if it's Deloitte? It's hard for girls like us to climb to the top. It's better to find a company with better benefits and stay there until you get married, or just develop your career in such a company."

An Yuan Huili doesn't have much of a passion for big business. Compared to the size of the company, she cares more about her own treatment and future development prospects.

She now even regrets joining Deloitte because there is simply no room for advancement for female employees in the company.

An Yuan Huili is a little envious of the law firm she just worked with. Because of Asuka Ryo, the law firm not only has female lawyers, but also female lawyers in senior positions.

"But, but?"

Suzuhara Kano was shocked for a moment. She had never thought about these positions. In her opinion, being able to work at Deloitte was already good enough, and she didn't dare to ask for too much.

"No buts. With our education level, we can't just think about finding a job."

Hitotsubashi University is a public university focusing on liberal arts. In the field of liberal arts, its strength is not inferior to that of the University of Tokyo and the University of Kyoto.

The Josuikai, founded by Hitotsubashi University, is one of the four major university factions in Japan and is very powerful in the economic field.

It can be said that Hitotsubashi University graduates are all gifted. Although not as good as the graduates of Tokyo University and Kyoto University, they are still good enough to look down on the two giants of Hayashi and Keio University.

However, strictly speaking, in the business world, there is not much difference in academic qualifications between the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Waseda University, and Keio University.

Students from Tokyo University and Kyoto University may be looked up to, but not too much, because all Japanese companies will not be bothered by the academic qualifications of these six schools.
