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

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!" Kenji Owada, who was slightly fat and looked amiable, had a serious face. After taking the stage, he bowed to all the staff and thanked him.

Everyone stood up and bowed in return. When he returned to the podium, everyone took their seats one by one.

"This year is really exciting!" Owada Kenji's speech had no script, nor was it a drowsy summary speech full of official tone. He started from the beginning of the year and spoke simply in an interesting and lively tone. Recalling many important events of Shimotosan Osaka Branch and its sub-branches.

The next data report is the top priority, and the director of the data business department will take the stage to summarize.

Listening to a long list of meaningless numbers, Kitahara Sosuke felt a little drowsy. His seat was at the back, followed by a bunch of chief staff and ordinary staff. Mitsuo Oshima sitting next to him looked serious and sat still. On the other side, Sakurai Saeko always had a calm expression. It was obvious that she was not very happy.

Although President Mie Noyasu made two sudden increases in interest rates, the stock market was still green. She followed Kitahara Sosuke to sell stocks, and now she has lost nearly 10 million, which is almost a year and a half's salary.

She turned her head and peeked at Kitahara Sosuke beside her, and was shocked to find that this guy fell asleep like this. Wasn't he worried about what would happen next?

this man

"This year, our bank finally surpassed the Kyoto Branch in total business and became the veritable second branch! From the data summary, we can see that the business scale of the Kyoto Branch is very large, and the financing amount is only less than us. 1000000000!"

With such a narrow advantage over his old enemy, the minister looked excited and looked extremely excited.

For ten years, the Kyoto Branch has been firmly ranked as the second branch, second only to the Tokyo Head Office, always riding on the head of the Osaka Branch. This is a pain in the hearts of all Osaka Tosan employees.

“The important factor that can achieve this phased result is the Osaka Chuo-ku branch!”

The audience was in an uproar.

A group of employees from the Tennoji Ward Branch and the Osaka Nishi Branch, who were clinging to the Chuo Ward Branch, looked this way.

Naoto Asano, who was sitting at the front, had a high-spirited expression, enjoying all kinds of envious, jealous and hateful looks. After seeing the gaze cast by Governor Owada from the front seat, he sat up straighter.

This is his glory alone.

The subsequent commendation meeting was chaired by Vice President Masaaki Kishimoto.

"Thanks to our colleagues from the Chuo Ward Branch for finalizing the 1 billion yen loan with Yamada Mortgage at the final stage, we were able to win the final competition with the Kyoto Branch! In addition, various business indicators of the Osaka Chuo Ward Branch this year They all rank at the top of the major branch rankings, and the financing amount ranks first! The best branch will be awarded to the Osaka Chuo-ku branch again. They deserve this honor!"

Masaaki Kishimoto spoke impassionedly, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was still frantically stuck with this loan not long ago.

All the staff stood up and applauded, and a chorus of heartfelt congratulations sounded outside the team at the Central District Branch.

Kitahara Sosuke felt a soft hand poke his cheek. He looked up and found Sakurai Saeko's iceberg-like face.

He was stunned for a moment, wiped his saliva, stood up and clapped vigorously.

What's the matter? It's just a banner, and it will be taken back soon.

"I would like to invite Branch Manager Asano Naoto to come to the stage to accept the commendation." Masaaki Kishimoto stepped aside and Kenji Owada strode forward and stood together with Naoto Asano.

"Congratulations on winning the best branch. It's not easy. Asano-kun, you have been in Chuo District for many years, right?" Owada Kenji handed the certificate to him.

"Thank you!" Naoto Asano bowed ninety degrees and took the certificate, "It has been twelve years."

He has been working in this branch for twelve years since he served as section chief at the age of 28!

In order to get ahead in Osaka, he married a local business tycoon and rose to power. He defeated many competitors in the early power struggle and squeezed into the position of president five years ago.

Now, it's finally time to take it a step further.

"Is your father in good health?" Owada Kenji smiled faintly, reached out and patted his shoulder, "I haven't seen him for more than ten years since I left Tosan."

"Father, I have always been in good health, and I often talk about you." Looking at Kenji Owada, who was only seven or eight years older than him, Asano was extremely respectful and kept bending down.

Owada Kenji was referring to his father-in-law. The two seemed to have a friendship. Naoto Asano was never clear about this matter. Whenever he talked about it, his alcoholic father-in-law would deliberately avoid it.

The resources of his wife's family have been exhausted by him. In the late Showa era, his father-in-law's club was not operating well and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Now he relies entirely on his own efforts. For this reason, he has decided to officially divorce his wife after taking the next step.

He had not touched his wife, who had an ugly face, an out-of-shape figure, and was not very good at the beginning for almost five years.

Thinking of this, he looked towards the audience with some enthusiasm, looking for Sakurai Saeko, and then he saw her joking with Kitahara Sosuke.

I don’t know what was said, but Sakurai Saeko, who had always been iceberg-like, actually laughed!

This is the first time he has seen such a beautiful and charming smile!

"Haha, congratulations, Asano-kun. The official announcement of your promotion to the head of the human resources department of the branch will be officially released after the year. When Vice President Kishimoto retires in the middle of next year, that position will be yours."

Kenji Owada whispered in his ear in a low voice.

Asano Naoto's body felt violently, ecstatic, and then a little disappointed. Why did he have to wait for half a year? Didn't you agree that you would be promoted to vice president after the year?

At this moment, he clearly felt that someone must be targeting him!

who is it?

Kitahara family?

Naoto Asano looked a little unhappy when he returned to his seat. Several staff members who had gathered around to congratulate him ran back in a hurry.

"Does Chief Kitahara treat other girls like this?" Saeko Sakurai stopped smiling. Just now Sosuke Kitahara told a joke, but she couldn't hold it back.

I'm really envious that this guy can still maintain this mood at this time.

"If she's pretty enough." Kitahara Sosuke was in a good mood and casually gave her a perfunctory sentence.

I originally wanted to get closer through chatting and try to trick this woman, but her defense was really watertight.

I still don’t understand where Sakurai Saeko’s affection for me comes from.

Is it really because he is so handsome?

On the stage, Vice President Kishimoto commended the last important honor: "This year, managers at all levels of the branch voted and unanimously recognized Mitsuo Oshima from the Financing Course 1 of the Osaka Chuo-ku Branch as the best employee!"

Oshima Mitsuo's body shook violently, and the white flesh rolled up, which made Kitahara Sosuke feel sick.

He has been waiting for this moment for too long. Thanks to that woman Saeko Sakurai giving up this business, he can successfully win this honor!

"Congratulations, Chief Oshima." Sakurai Saeko's eyes met Asano Naoto in front of him, and he looked away with disgust.

"Haha." Mitsuo Oshima strode forward to accept the award. This was his first appearance in front of the Osaka staff, which caused quite a commotion.

Everyone thought that the iceberg beauty would be re-elected as the best employee this year. After all, her business ability was so outstanding.

Who is this fat man?

"Finally, I would like to announce two regrettable things. The first one is that Sakurai Saeko, the head of the second department of the first financing section of the Chuo District branch, clashed with her boss and had a bad attitude. All performance for this year will be cancelled, and she will be suspended until the end of the year. Month; second item."

There was an uproar.

"Sister Sakurai has been suspended!"

"How is it possible? Wasn't that woman the best employee last year?"

"You don't know this. I heard that she got to the position last year by working for those big shots. This year, I heard that she was asked to do 'one to many', but she didn't agree, so..."

Rumors were overwhelming.

Even Sakurai Saeko, who had always been cold and charming, couldn't bear it. It felt like the whole world was suddenly targeting a little woman like her.

"Kitahara Sosuke, the head of the third department of the 1st Financing Section of the Chuo Ward Branch, is suspected of having financial entanglements with customers. The special financing project plan he proposed at the end of the year is extremely risky. At the same time, he withdrew a large number of loans from high-quality clubs without any reason. Because he acted arbitrarily Lost a large number of customers, including Yamada Mortgage."

"The branch decided to suspend department head Kitahara Sosuke indefinitely without pay, and will make a conclusion after the year after the head office investigator completes the investigation."

Kenji Owada frowned slightly in the audience. This conclusion was somewhat different from the previous discussion within the branch.

Why are the penalties suddenly increased?

The deputy director of the Human Resources Department next to him came over and whispered: "President, this is the decision of Ito Manzaburo, the executive director of the head office."

"Manager Ito? So that's it, because I stuck Asano Naoto for half a year, so he also wants me to pay some price?"

Owada Kenji looked at Kishimoto Masaaki on the stage. There was no trace of joy on the latter's face. The past six months had been like a disaster for him.

Having offended himself, offended the radicals behind him, offended Masao Kitahara, even a branch vice president will only become a victim of high-level struggles in the future.

Speaking of which, Sosuke Kitahara is really interesting.

"The president who planned the special financing project, recovered the loan from Inoue Logistics, and violently attacked Yamada Mortgage, is he acting in a TV series?" Owada Kenji's lips raised, "If you can survive this wave of offensive, consider bringing him to my side. .”

"Eh? President, it's inappropriate for him to be such an impulsive young man," the deputy director of the personnel department said in a low voice, "Xia Keshang, he did something threatening to President Asano Branch!"

"Both down and above are things that stupid and incompetent bosses are afraid of. As long as you have enough power, your subordinates will just become flowers that decorate you." Kenji Owada laughed.

Kitahara Sosuke did not expect such a severe punishment. One month turned into an indefinite period. Did he offend someone who wanted to punish him to death?

"Director Kitahara." Sakurai Saeko looked over with some worry. She originally thought that since he had an executive director father, he might be less affected by this wave than himself.

But the actions of the top management are indeed not visible to the bottom level.

"It's okay, let them come." Kitahara Sosuke then stood up and left the venue proudly under the gaze of many people.

He was like a lone wolf, cold and terrifying, as if he was about to open his mouth and devour everything.

It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s going to fall today!
