The Kyoto Bubble Era: It started with selling off hundreds of millions of property

December 4, 1989, Sunday (Monday).

Norika Fujiwara, who looked a little strange, had been waiting in front of Kitahara Sosuke's apartment early. Snowflakes were flying. The administrator recognized her as Kitahara Sosuke's girlfriend upstairs. He thought of the seemingly serious Kitahara on the night of the 2nd. Cangsuke brought back a drunken sexy woman, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for this innocent-looking and lovely girl.

The Chinese cabbage has been eaten by the pigs.

Holding a large package of documents in one hand and a handbag in the other, Fujiwara Norika swayed left and right in the snow, leaving small footprints one after another with her leather boots. When she saw Kitahara Sosuke walking out, her cheeks turned crimson. Then he waved his right hand vigorously and greeted him.

"Good morning~ Department Chief!"

"Morning." Kitahara Sosuke was quite surprised. Why was this girl squatting at his door again? In addition, when I went out today, the administrator who was kind to me yesterday suddenly became indifferent to me. It was also very strange. .

Seeing that she was holding a lot of documents in her hands and there were deep dark bags under her eyes, Kitahara Sosuke sighed. He must have been working on manuscripts all night for a special financing project.

It’s hard for this little girl.

"Please have breakfast!" Fujiwara Norika tossed her handbag and stuck out her tongue, "Please help yourself, Chief~"

Her hands were inconvenient, Kitahara Sosuke smiled, opened the handbag and took out the steaming breakfast inside.

Fujiwara Norika is a child from the countryside. In this era, it is rare for a girl of this age to be able to work in the hall and in the kitchen.

With money, everyone is addicted to a decadent life. There are really few such gentle and virtuous girls.

The two of them were walking and talking. When he heard that she hadn't eaten breakfast either, Kitahara Sosuke peeled off a rice ball and slowly stuffed it into her mouth.

"Thank you, department chief~ Well, it's so hot, don't put it all in at once!" Fujiwara Norika almost rolled her eyes because it was so hot, why is it that such a smart and capable department head always has no thoughts on such trivial matters!

"Feed you, you still have so much to ask for." Kitahara Sosuke flicked her forehead with his finger. Then he realized that this action was a bit too ambiguous and stopped immediately. When he lowered his head, he realized that the little girl's cheeks were all red. One piece.

Fujiwara Norika didn't resist when his fingers touched her. It was obviously an intimate gesture that crossed the line. Why was she still a little happy?

She was in a mess, shook her head quickly, and turned her attention back to the special financing project.

Work! Work! Work!

She encouraged herself in her heart, and then started to talk about the pile of documents and applications she had made, asking Kitahara Sosuke to analyze whether there was anything missing.

After chatting for a while, Fujiwara Norika suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Department Chief, Department Chief, has the official document of the recommender been sent? Who is the executive director standing behind us?"

"He should have submitted the official documents to the board of directors. President Asano should have received the notice by now." Kitahara Sosuke hesitated for a moment, but still told the little girl truthfully. After all, she has the best relationship with him here now. , the closest person is still the first subordinate, "It's my father, Masao Kitahara, he is the executive director of the head office."

"It's really dad!" Norika Fujiwara was startled and subconsciously blurted out, "Ah, no, no, I mean no wonder the department head doesn't need bribes, he is dad, eh, no, no, no."

Looking at Norika Fujiwara who was a little incoherent, Kitahara Sosuke laughed. This incident must have had a big impact on her.

"Don't be so nervous. My work and life in Tosan have little to do with him. This time it's just a work intersection." Kitahara Sosuke didn't want his second-generation status to make the little girl fearful or alienated.

Fujiwara Norika nodded slightly, seeming to understand his feelings very well: "Ah, I know, department chief, you must be working very hard too!"

I don’t know what she was thinking about the past between herself and Kitahara Masao. Anyway, seeing that her attitude didn’t change much, Kitahara Sosuke felt relieved.

Also, this girl looks gentle and innocent on the outside, but she actually has a fierceness in her bones and will not really give in because of other people's power.

The two got off the tram and approached the entrance of the bank. Fujiwara Norika finally came to her senses: "Hey, department chief, where is your car?"

"Sold, the house in Osaka has also been sold. I plan to move recently and look for a new rental house." Kitahara Sosuke spread his hands, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Hey, hey, they're all sold again?!" Norika Fujiwara felt her little head twitching, and then she leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Department chief, is it really not a loan shark?"

"Snapped!"

Kitahara Sosuke angrily slapped her brain again, and this time the little girl covered her head and jumped away with a look of resentment on her face.

"Yes, I owe a lot of loan sharks, and I'm planning to use you to pay off the debt."

"I'm worthless!" Norika Fujiwara subconsciously blurted out and stepped aside.

Isn't it the matter of using her to pay off debts that I should complain about? Kitahara Sosuke was speechless, but then he explained a little seriously.

After receiving the 100 million remittance, he spent 30 million yen, and the remaining 70 million yen was his net income.

In addition to the previous 100 million yen, he used 20 million yen to do things. Half of the 10 million yen was given to Inoue Momo and half was paid as the registration fee.

As for why it sells cars, it’s because in 1989, Toyota invested nearly 1 billion US dollars in research and development. The first-generation Lexus LS400, an epoch-making model, was launched on the market. It began to be sold in the United States in September this year, with a starting price of 35,000 US dollars. It is a luxury car in this era that has surpassed Mercedes-Benz and BMW in sales. car.

As a time traveler, Kitahara Sosuke certainly would not miss this opportunity to enjoy it. He sold his AE86 and then ordered a flagship LS400 abroad.

Norika Fujiwara found it difficult to understand his sentiments about cars. She was at a loss and could only nod in agreement.

Anyway, the department head is not short of money and doesn’t owe money, so that’s fine!

The two of them walked into the bank lobby one after another. Yamakawa Sayuri, who was standing in the lobby, had a bitter look on her face. After seeing Kitahara Sosuke, a smile broke out on her face: "Good morning~ Chief Kitahara."

"Good morning, Yamakawa-san." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and nodded, but also had some doubts.

It doesn't seem like she's on duty today, right?

After scanning around, Kobayashi Kyoko, who used to arrive very early, was nowhere to be seen.

Noticing his expression, Yamakawa Sayuri quietly moved over and said in a low voice: "Kyoko-chan asked for leave again today!"

"Are you sick?" Kitahara Sosuke asked casually.

Sayuri Yamakawa shook her head: "I don't know. I plan to visit her after get off work. Does Chief Kitahara want to come with me?"

"I won't go. Buy me some fruits and take them with me." Kitahara Sosuke and Kobayashi Kyoko are not close friends, so it would not be a good idea to visit a girl's house rashly.

"Okay~ Chief Kitahara, remember to give me the money." Sayuri Yamakawa agreed with a smile, "Even if she is sick, Kyoko-chan will be happy to death after receiving the fruit from Chief Kitahara, hehe."

"Shanchuan! Don't chat during working hours!" At this moment, a middle-aged man yelled in a bad tone.

Kithara Sosuke looked over and saw that it was her department head, so he said no more, nodded and went upstairs.

Before leaving, Yamakawa Sayuri suddenly opened and closed her mouth, secretly conveying some hidden information to him.

"Be careful of Oshima?" Kithara Sosuke probably read the meaning of her lips, frowned, and led Fujiwara Norika to the second floor.
