In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Knowing that this guy was a favorite of the president, the two of them used their connections to invite Shimizu Terugano to a club in an attempt to please him.

Took a bath first.

Then call the most skilled geisha to give you a massage.

After changing clothes, I went to the private dining room, where a table of exquisite dishes and wines were already prepared.

clap clap.

Yu Quan Juyou clapped his hands.

Several young and beautiful hostesses dressed fashionably pushed the door open and walked in.

There are wine, meat and women. After a few drinks, everyone recalls the feelings they had when they were classmates.

"Time really doesn't spare us. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, we have gone from passionate young people to greasy middle-aged people."

"Speaking of which, Shimizu-kun was the main striker of the rugby team back then. I still remember that every time there were games, many beautiful girls would scream and shout your name!"

"Kikuchi, don't try to play tricks on me. You must be in some trouble!"

"How is that possible! Mainly because I suddenly miss my college days!"

"I met the president this morning and saw a kid kneeling on the ground, talking about Shiga Prefecture..."

"Ah! This... Please don't laugh at me when I tell you this, Shimizu-kun. That guy wanted a promotion and a raise, but his qualifications were too poor, so he came to complain and report us. You know the president's character, he is full of integrity and very caring towards young people, so..."

"I see! Since you two have nothing to do with this matter, why are you still worrying? Right!!"

It doesn’t matter, we shouldn’t be nervous!

Just as Kikuchi was about to say something else, he suddenly noticed that Shimizu's eyes were very subtle, and he immediately said, "Shimizu-kun is right, thank you so much! If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!!"

Chapter 360: A crappy director wants to have dinner with me?

Eat and drink enough.

Next is the karaoke and dancing program.

Several etiquette ladies were arranged to go out with Shimizu, and Yuquan Juyou and Shiga Prefecture Chairman Kikuchi got together again.

"What do you think, Yu Quanjun?"

"Nagano is just talking without thinking. He doesn't even consider our difficulties. If we set a precedent for promotion and salary increase, it will only cause more and more trouble."

"How can a young master like them, who is at the top of the food chain, understand this? Let alone the section chief, even we are probably just cabbages in his eyes!"

"So Shimizu-kun's method is not bad, what do you think?"

"Of course you can, but who should we find? What if we end up making things worse and end up having something to hold against us?"

"Didn't Watanabe get diagnosed with liver cancer? His son is about to graduate, so he will definitely agree!"

"That's true! And Cao Jian is a very ambitious kid. Why don't you take care of him as well?"

"..."

Shiga Prefecture.

It's called the Bunshengbao Branch.

After hanging up the phone, Vice President Tadashi Watanabe, who had reached retirement age, thought for a long time.

Finally, a helpless sigh came out of his mouth.

I don't have much time left, and it's a blessing that I can still give out my last bit of energy to the company at this time!

at the same time.

President's office.

Kusanagi Hiro's butt was half resting on the chair, his body stretched straight, and he looked obviously nervous.

Otsuka Masatoshi saw through Kusanagi's heart. He lit a cigarette and said with concern, "Kusanagi, you must be worried about this matter, right? But please think carefully, why did the company choose you among so many people? It's because Kusanagi is a down-to-earth person with a strong will! There are very few opportunities to take responsibility for the company like this. In the future, who can stop you from becoming a peerless dragon after making such a great sacrifice for the company?"

"I understand what you mean, President! But I want to know how long it will take to come out. After all... Yoko and I are already engaged, so..."

"According to convention, it will take about three to five years!"

"Ah, so long?"

"Kusagi, you know Miss Yoko's family. Even if you get married, can you stay together forever in your current situation? Three to five years is just a rough estimate. I'm only telling you the worst possible outcome. But once this is over, society will use all its connections to weaken the consequences of this incident, and maybe it will come out in a year or two."

"Well...can I think about it?"

"Of course! But tonight, I hope to get your answer. Also, this is my personal opinion, it has nothing to do with the company, you understand what I mean, right?"

"..."

In Japan, there has always been a famous saying: It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

Just like the inheritance of surnames, the surname a person is born with basically determines what he or she will do in the future, as well as his or her status.

A fish killer is most likely to kill fish, no matter how talented he is in sports.

For a ramen maker, the most likely outcome in the future is that he will go home and inherit a ramen restaurant, no matter how much he hates making ramen.

It was only after the Meiji era, with the cultural reform, that ordinary people had a glimmer of hope. They were able to seize the opportunity to change their destiny through studying and become the backbone of society and elite talents.

But this elite group is also divided according to clear unspoken rules.

If you are an elite in science and engineering, you will receive generous treatment if you work for a large company, and according to seniority, you will be able to join the middle class in the future.

If you are a scientific research talent, you will be even more popular. Someone will arrange money, beauty and social status for you, so you don't have to worry about your career at all.

pity.

Cao Jian majored in finance.

At that time, I heard that the financial industry had high incomes and was at the top of the food chain, so I studied hard and was admitted to the Faculty of Economics at Kyoto University.

I hope to enter the financial industry after graduation, succeed in life, and gain fame and fortune.

After graduation.

As he wished, Cao Jian entered the most powerful insurance company in the financial circle. With great enthusiasm, he worked in the company year after year, hoping to change his destiny through hard work.

But over the years, he has discovered that ideals are full of hope, but reality is very hard.

Among the colleagues who came with me at the same time, those who deserved to be promoted have already been promoted to the departmental level, and even those who were not so good have made it to the position of section chief.

And he was transferred from one region to another, from one county to another, and now he is just a lowest-level supervisor.

reason?

Those who got promoted were all direct or collateral descendants of the major families.

From the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Finance to the Bureau of Accounting and Statistics, the Bureau of Taxation, the Bureau of Customs, the Bureau of Finance, the Bureau of Securities, the Bureau of Banking, the Bureau of International Finance, as well as the Mint, the Bureau of Printing and other departments, the worst who can climb up are those who come from poor families.

In the major financial companies, those who can climb to the positions of department head and above are all children from the poorest families, or simply the heirs of major families.

Either they are from Keio University, Waseda University or the University of Tokyo. Their families either have a huge influence in politics or have the ability to call the shots in the financial and business circles.

These bastards have no interest in manufacturing at all. They form cliques, exclude dissidents, and completely control the financial circle. Ordinary people don't stand a chance at all.

Is it difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son?

Unfortunately.

The ancestors of the Kusanagi family were not very promising, and they were not even from a poor family.

Because the poor families mainly refer to the declining aristocratic families, wealthy families, and prominent families, rather than the penniless poor families.

Just like other branches of the samurai family, the descendants of the side branches of the Chinese family at least once owned houses and fertile land. They were considered poor only after their decline.

If one has never entered the political circle, even if his ancestors have some land, he would at best be considered a commoner.

After looking through the Kusanagi family tree for seven or eight generations, no connection was found with the nobility or daimyo.

According to the pre-Edo period, people like him were at best vagrants or mobs.

Not even a commoner!

In this country where family name and bloodline determine everything, people from poor families at least have a door and can enter the financial circle and touch the ceiling, but people below the common people have no door at all, so how can they be qualified to talk about the ceiling?

A very long time.

Cao Jian regretted choosing finance as his major.

People like him should choose science and engineering and become a technician, rather than stepping into the financial circle.

At least, according to the rules of society, if you are technically capable, you can at least reach your limit.

But the financial circle is completely the territory of those bastards, and common people can only do odd jobs and run errands, just like a servant.

But now, there is a huge opportunity in front of us.

promise!

Still don't agree?!

the next day.

The Kansai Headquarters Audit Division and the Internal Affairs Department jointly formed an investigation team and entered the Nihon Seiho Branch in Shiga Prefecture.

No notification was received.

All members of the Shiga Prefecture branch were temporarily asked to be questioned in the general conference room.

After making these arrangements, Kitano Kotake sealed all the relevant files of the branch and began the audit review.

Sudden audit.

The branch office was in a state of panic, with employees sitting restlessly in the general office, all looking frightened and uneasy.

at this time.

An old man suddenly stood up: "Section Chief Kitano!"

"My name is Watanabe Masatoshi. During the years I served as president, I had cancer and needed to go abroad for treatment, so..."

The old man said.

Suddenly he knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

He explained in detail how he had embezzled company assets by falsifying accounts and accepting bribes during his years as vice president.
