Tokyo, 1991: Starting as a bank clerk

Chapter 154 The Eye of Recognizing People [Third Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Keiko Miyazawa answered quickly, almost without hesitation: "The group headquarters happens to need manpower for administrative positions. They don't require high academic qualifications, just hard work."

"The salary is around 220,000 yen per month, with social security and weekends off. If she's willing, she can come for an interview tomorrow."

Kiryu Yaya's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Monthly salary of 220,000.

This salary is not low for a woman with a high school education.

Keiko Miyazawa's decision to offer this position clearly involved personal connections.

Kiryu Yaya didn't make it clear, but simply thanked him cheerfully.

Keiko Miyazawa smiled gently and said, "Then it's settled. You can have her come to the Miyazawa Group headquarters to see me anytime, and I'll have Mr. Uesugi arrange an interview."

Thank you.

"Don't mention it. Kiryu-kun's business is my business. Why are you thanking me?"

Keiko Miyazawa's voice suddenly softened, as if she were afraid of being overheard: "Kiryu-kun, don't forget Sunday."

"I won't forget."

"That's good. Get some rest, goodnight."

"Good night."

The phone hangs up.

Kiryu Yaya started his motorcycle and drove into the night.

A night breeze blew in from the direction of the Yodo River, carrying a damp scent.

The Honda SuperCub50 sputtered along the empty street, its headlights piercing the darkness ahead and illuminating the white lines on the road clearly.

It was almost eleven o'clock when he got back to the apartment building.

I parked and locked the motorcycle, took off my helmet and hung it on the handlebars, then carried my briefcase upstairs.

Room 203

He pushed open the door, turned on the light, put his briefcase on the table, took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger behind the door, loosened his tie, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Hot water gushed from the showerhead, hitting my face and trickling down my neck.

He stood in the steam with his eyes closed, letting the hot water wash away the day's fatigue.

The image of Kiyoshi Ogaki kneeling on the ground was still vivid in his mind.

Kiryu Yaya never liked to push people to that point.

But if he had to do it again, he would do the same thing.

Because in a place like a bank, if you don't prey on others, they'll prey on you.

After taking a shower, he dried his hair with a towel, went to the kitchen, took out milk from the refrigerator, poured a glass, and put it in the microwave for a minute.

Then, holding a glass of milk, I sat down at my desk, opened my notebook, and jotted down a few notes about what happened that day.

Just then, a semi-transparent system interface popped up in front of me.

[World line converging - branch three selected]

[Gained skill: "Eyes of Recognition"]

[After active use, you can view the target's core competencies, including their professional skills and hidden specialties.]

[Can be used only once per day.]

Seeing this skill, Kiryu Yaya was quite curious, so he activated the skill "Eye of Recognition" on himself.

The semi-transparent interface flickered slightly in the field of vision.

The once calm text began to flow and recombine, then slowly unfolded into a brand new information panel.

Kiryu Yaya's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This skill is amazing!

The next day.

Osaka branch.

Kiryu Yaya rode his motorcycle into the underground parking lot, parked it, and then walked into the staff entrance with his briefcase.

The lobby remained busy.

Kiryu Yaya went straight up to the third floor.

As soon as he turned into the corridor, he saw two people coming out of the General Affairs Office.

The person walking in front was a middle-aged employee in his forties.

His surname is Nakajima, and he is the head of the General Affairs Department.

His hair was neatly combed, his suit and tie were perfectly tied, and he held a stack of documents in his hand.

Following behind him was a young employee in his early thirties.

His surname was Beicun. He wore thin-rimmed glasses and was carrying a brown cardboard box in his arms.

Kiryu Yaya narrowed his eyes.

It seems that these two were among the people who were talking about me in the office the night before last.

The two paused slightly when they saw Kiryu Yaya.

Kiryu Yaya stopped abruptly, gave a slight bow, and said politely and naturally, "Good morning, Director Nakajima. Good morning, Kitamura-senpai."

Nakajima paused for half a second, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Good morning, Kiryu-kun."

Nakajima nodded, his tone much warmer than usual: "You're here really early today."

"The same goes for you, senior."

Nakajima glanced at him again, as if he wanted to say something. His lips moved slightly, but he just smiled and stepped aside.

Kiryu Yaya bowed slightly and walked past the two of them.

The sound of leather shoes on the carpet was soft and unhurried, quickly fading away at the end of the corridor.

Nakajima stood there, watching the figure turn the corner before slowly turning his gaze away.

He didn't speak, but just looked down at the documents in his hand, then looked up at Yoshida beside him.

Yoshida didn't say anything either.

The two exchanged a glance and tacitly closed the distance between them.

"Director Nakajima—"

Kitamura lowered his voice and pushed up his glasses: "I really didn't expect that the tide in the banking world would turn overnight regarding that newcomer named Kiryu."

Nakajima didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at both ends of the corridor to make sure no one else was passing by before lowering his voice and saying, "I felt it."

"At the mid-level meeting the day before yesterday, so many leaders collectively attacked him. At that time, everyone thought this newcomer was going to be in trouble."

Kitamura nodded, a hint of doubt in his expression: "But in just two days, public opinion has changed so drastically, Director Nakajima, what do you say—"

"Just who is this Kiryu?"

The two didn't speak, but exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.

They have mistakenly entered the Heavenly Palace.
