Tokyo, 1991: Starting as a bank clerk

Chapter 212 Section Chief Nishida, who has come from afar

Kiryu Yaya returned to Esaka Apartment at exactly noon.

Today is Tuesday.

It was supposed to be a weekday, but because of Miyazawahara's funeral, he asked Section Chief Yamada for leave.

Upon learning that it involved the Miyazawa family, he immediately granted leave.

So Kiryu Yaya can go to the bank in the afternoon.

Pushing open the door, the apartment was exactly as it had been when I left that morning.

Kiryu Yaya picked up the phone on the table and dialed Kuroda Shuichi's number.

The phone rang once and was answered: "Kiryu-kun?"

"President Kuroda, is it a convenient time to talk?"

"convenient."

Kiryu Yaya leaned back in his chair: "After the farewell ceremony this morning, I reached an agreement with Kamiya Yutaro."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"He agreed?"

Kiryu Yaya's lips curved slightly, and he hummed in agreement.

Shuichi Kuroda was both surprised and delighted.

The joy was naturally due to the success of the plan, while the surprise came from Kiryu Yaya's speed.

"That's way too fast!"

Shuichi Kuroda continued, "I originally thought that someone as stubborn as Yutaro Kamiya would take at least a month to soften his stance, but you convinced him right after the farewell ceremony this morning?"

Kiryu Yaya didn't say it explicitly, but simply stated, "It's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons."

"Next, we will formally proceed with the board meeting. After Miyazawa Keiko returns, she will organize the evaluation data as soon as possible and draw up the pricing framework."

"But how much the Miyazawa Group will sell for is not something I can decide."

Kuroda Shuichi chuckled: "Of course. If you can even decide the price, I think the Miyazawa Group will soon be yours."

"But you've already done a great job to this extent."

"By the way, do you have time tonight? Toto-kan."

Kiryu Yaya's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"tonight?"

"right."

Kuroda Shuichi lowered his voice slightly: "Since the Miyazawa Group has given its approval, we need to explain the situation to Mr. Takaji."

97

Kiryu Yaya paused for a moment, then nodded: "What time?"

"Eight o'clock."

"Okay, see you there."

The phone hangs up.

Kiryu Yaya put the receiver back, stood up, and walked to the window.

He closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the progress of the morning.

Yutaro Kamiya nodded.

This is the most crucial move in the entire game.

With the support of this septuagenarian board member, the sale plan for the Linkong City plot can continue to be pushed forward at the board meeting.

Now, all that's left is the Eastern Committee.

Shuichi Kuroda arranged to meet him at the Totokan at 8 PM tonight, saying he wanted to explain the situation to Seiichi Takatsukasa.

This was a necessary procedure—the Miyazawa Group had given their approval, and as the middleman, he naturally had to give an explanation to the buyer behind the scenes.

But Kiryu Yaya knew very well that this trip to the Todo-kan was not just a simple matter of reporting progress.

What role will he play in his second meeting with Seiichi Takatsukasa?

In Takatsukasa Seiichi's eyes, he was a newcomer to the Toei Company whom he had met once before, but who was somewhat interesting.

He was unaware of his relationship with Keiko Miyazawa, nor of the hatred between him and Hiko Kouda.

How can I get Seiichi Takatsukasa to agree to my request?

The art of communication is essential to this.

It's a troublesome matter.

As Kiryu Yaya pondered, he took off his suit and shirt and went into the bathroom.

Having just returned from a funeral, I naturally need to take a shower to wash away the filth.

The hot water in the bathroom was ready quickly.

Kiryu Yaya stood under the showerhead, letting the warm water flow down from above, washing over his shoulders, neck, and back.

Just then, a semi-transparent system interface silently appeared in his field of vision: [The second act of the main storyline "The Avengers" - "Seiichi Takatsukasa's Permission" has been activated.]

[Current Event: The Lingkongcheng land parcel has entered the stage of expressing interest in sale, but the East District Development Committee is not a monolithic entity.]

Although Seiichi Takatsukasa is the administrator of the secret service, there are still other factions within the secret service who hold different opinions about the Rinko Castle project.

[Mission Objective: At tonight's meeting, persuade Seiichi Takatsukasa to agree to the acquisition of Rinko Castle.]

[Task Rewards: Depends on Completion Rate]

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Financing review department on the third floor of the Osaka branch.

When Kiryu Yaya returned to his workstation, the office area had already settled into a work rhythm.

He had just sat down and hadn't even had a chance to open the documents on the table when he heard a crisp sound from beside him.

"Kiryu-kun."

Kiryu Yaya turned his head to the side.

Chihaya Yuri sat at her workstation, holding a cup of tea in her hand, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment.

"Is the morning's farewell ceremony over?"

"it's over."

Kiryu Yaya nodded.

Chihaya Yuri didn't press for details, simply giving a soft "Mmm": "There's nothing urgent this afternoon, just organize those archived documents you have on hand."

"Understood, thank you, senior."

Chihaya Yuri didn't say anything more and lowered her head to continue looking at the documents in her hands.

Just then, the door to the financing review office was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Kiryu-kun!"

Kenta Sasaki rushed in carrying a stack of documents, his forehead slightly sweaty, but his expression revealing an undisguised excitement.

"Guess who I ran into in the lobby just now?"

Kiryu Yaya looked up from the document.

"Who?"

"Section Manager Nishida of the Kyoto branch!"

Kiryu Yaya responded with an "oh," and asked, "Why is Section Chief Nishida from the Kyoto branch in Osaka?"

Before Sasaki could answer, the door to the financing review department was pushed open again.

Masakazu Yamada walked in, his gaze landing precisely on Yaya Kiryu.

"Kiryu-kun, come here for a second."

His tone was slightly faster than usual, clearly indicating that he had something important to discuss.

Kiryu Yaya immediately stood up, put down the documents in his hand, and walked towards the door.

Because of Sasaki's exaggerated behavior, Yamada Masakazu acted as a catalyst.

So after Kiryu Yaya left the financing review department, many of the younger employees gathered around Sasaki.

Among them was Yuka Nakamura and her two sisters.

They asked, "Sasaki-kun, Kiryu-kun, what are you doing? Why is the section chief from the Kyoto branch here?"

The three female employees all turned their gazes to Kenta Sasaki, as if they were waiting for some earth-shattering news.

Kenta Sasaki was someone who couldn't keep a secret, and now that he was surrounded by several girls, he was even more excited.

He put down the documents in his hand, straightened his chest, cleared his throat, and said in a tone that said, "I know this all too well: Last weekend, Kiryu-kun, Arima, and I went to visit Yayoi-san from the Business Department, and we also took a stroll around Arashiyama."

"While we were resting in the teahouse, we overheard someone at the next table making a phone call, saying something about 'the inventory having been transferred out,' 'the assessment report being redone,' and also mentioning 'Mitsubishi's extension.'"

"Kiryu-kun immediately sensed something was wrong and called the financing department of the Kyoto branch right away."

Upon hearing this, the audience couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Kiryu-kun is so decisive!"

"I definitely wouldn't know what to do if I encountered something like this."

"As expected of Kiryu-kun."

'

However, Chihaya Yuri frowned upon hearing Sasaki's words.
