In the morning, the boulevard outside the Tokyo High Court.

Shimada walked on the sidewalk with heavy steps, his face was ashen, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He was not in the mood to continue to observe the court hearing. A high school classmate who worked in the human resources department of the head office informed him in advance that he would participate.

The incident of third-party funding of litigation against Akagi Hotel Group was brought to the head office. The head office urgently set up an investigation team, and the investigation team will hold an investigation and inquiry meeting next Monday morning.

And his vice president authority will be completely suspended at 16:00 tomorrow.

The formal notice of investigation and suspension should be received this afternoon.

This is how my financial career in Tokyo ended.

Shimada took a breath, filled with resentment and unwillingness. He had worked hard at the Shinjuku branch for nearly twenty years, and it came to an end. When he received letters from Takahashi Legal Affairs Consulting Club,

During the payment of several installments, Shimada once raised hopes of surviving the branch's self-examination.

However, now the matter against the Akagi Hotel Group has been discovered.

Akagi Hotel Group is a major customer of Mizuho Bank.

There is no doubt that for the sake of customers, banks will treat themselves like garbage and sweep them away mercilessly. Moreover, after this kind of confrontation with customers spreads, they will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the financial world.

As Shimada walked on the street, memories of his past life came to his mind. The anger and unwillingness gradually turned into regret. He regretted not spending more time with his wife and children. Over the years, his children have been going to school.

Reading and going to the hospital for medical treatment are all taken care of by my wife. It has been a long time since I have whispered anything at the bedside to my wife.

He regretted that in the past, he always bossed his employees around. Shimada thought of the day when he first took up the post of vice president of the Shinjuku branch. On the day he took office, he began to put on an official air to deal with his subordinates. Thinking about it now,

The attitude I had in the past was really a bit ridiculous.

Do you think that just because you become the vice president of a branch, you are great? Little do you know that in the eyes of higher-ups, your position is the same as that of the lower-level employees you boss around.

Shimada has some regrets. In the past, in order to climb up, he kept catering to his superiors, gave in to his principles again and again, and granted loans to projects that actually hid big problems. Banks, as a link between all walks of life in the national economy,

Arteries, but he is doing things to enrich others' pockets.

If...if I could do it all over again, I...I would definitely let this bank bureaucracy go to hell!

Pedestrians were coming and going on the street, and cars were driving across the road, making the sound of tires grinding against the asphalt. The branches on both sides of the boulevard, which had lost their leaves due to the coming winter, were swaying constantly. There were magnificent buildings all around, and the road was full of people.

There were modern girls in fashionable clothes, and from time to time, a few men in suits were holding phones, talking about business and projects in a hurry. Tokyo, such a cold and charming city, could not stay any longer.

The vice president walked aimlessly on the street like a weed blowing in the wind.

Life is always like this.

Some truths can only be experienced and understood at the lowest point.

When I was a kid, when I heard about qualities like honesty, courage, and integrity, I thought they were long-winded and nonsense.

Later, when I grew up and thought I was mature, I began to despise these qualities and felt that opportunism and tact were the real means of being invincible in the world.

However, after going through thousands of sails and vicissitudes of life, I will look back at those simple truths I heard when I was a child.

At that moment, I realized how enlightening these simple truths are.

However, do I still have a chance?

A breeze blew in the street. Shimada couldn't help but curl up again.

The fate of this world is often so bizarre and accidental. When people are desperate, maybe a chance to make a comeback is somewhere, quietly waiting for you to discover. Although water is soft, it is constantly chopping with knives and axes, and although gold is strong,

It is hard and can be kneaded into any shape you want after repeated hard work. All things are yin and yang that are mutually reinforcing, but also restrain and restrain each other.

Shimada didn't know how long he had been walking or where he had gone. He looked up and looked around, and saw a tall cube building coming into view. The white and brick-red shell was eye-catching. It was the tribunal.

Nearby Library of Congress.

How did he get to the Library of Congress? Shimada shook his head, smiled bitterly, and was about to take a taxi and return to the branch.

At this moment, in a coffee shop next to the Library of Congress, two figures came into Shimada's eyes on the open-air seats outside. A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting on the seat with another man wearing

The men in suits kept chatting.

And the man wearing glasses, with Shimada's very familiar symbol hanging on the chest of his suit - the Mizuho nameplate of Mizuho Bank, is none other than Takamatsu, the president of Mizuho's Tokyo branch.

The other man, I don’t know who he is, but the document bag he placed on the coffee table clearly bears the icon of an eagle with its head raised, which is the logo of Eagle Flag Bank. As a Western bank, Eagle Flag Bank has grown in recent years.

Since then, it has been continuously conquering cities in the East. Its unique eagle logo has long been well-known in the industry and can be recognized by people in the banking industry.

The moment he saw Takamatsu, Shimada's eyes suddenly widened a bit, his teeth clenched tightly, and his hands clenched into fists. He recalled the scene in the inspection countermeasures meeting, when Takamatsu threw documents directly into his face.

Shimada could hardly bear it and wanted to go forward and beat him up on the spot.

However, a problem arises.

How come Takamatsu got mixed up with people from Eagle Flag Bank?

Shimada suppressed the anger in his heart, took off the Mizuho Bank nameplate on his chest, and raised the collar of his suit to ensure that half of his face was covered. Then, the vice president specifically chose another

I took a route and went around to the open-air seating area in front of the coffee shop. I chose a seat not far away and sat down. I happened to be able to hear the conversation between the two people.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Gao Song and the man from Eagle Flag Bank were having a lively conversation. They did not expect that a lone wolf with revenge ambitions had already

Watching them quietly from a short distance away.

Takamatsu shook the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile: "I just met Secretary Kurosawa again at the Library of Congress. Tonight we have an appointment in the Tiankui Room on the 68th floor of the General Hotel. When the time comes, I will become a

After colleagues, please take good care of me. I have already prepared the client list."

A short sentence contains an immense amount of information.

When Shimada, who was sitting next to him, heard this, he was stunned. To... become colleagues? The president of Mizuho Bank's Tokyo branch actually told people from Eagle Flag Bank that he wanted to become their colleagues? Could it be that Takamatsu was preparing to change jobs?

?!

If the regional branch president of a bank wants to change jobs, this is a major personnel change in the banking system. The branch president has almost access to the business secrets of the entire bank, and also has a large number of customer resources. If it is true

Running away was definitely a big shock.

Shimada's mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't believe his ears, especially when he thought about Takamatsu's recent self-examination activities, and he kept tossing the presidents of the 23rd district branch under him. This guy is about to change jobs, and he is still tormenting him like this.

His own employees.

Shimada savored the words "client list" carefully. This obviously hinted that Takamatsu would jump ship and steal several of Mizuho Bank's big clients to Eagle Flag Bank.

Tiankui Room on the 68th floor of Jiangjun Hotel.

Shimada made a mental note of the venue for tonight's banquet, but he was immediately stunned again. Will... General Hotel, isn't this a hotel under the name of the Akagi Hotel Group?! Thinking of the client list just now, the experienced

Shimada quickly guessed in his heart: Could it be... Could it be that Takamatsu jumped to the company and wanted to pry away the Akagi Hotel Group as well?!

It was as if in the dark well, I finally waited for a slowly lowering straw rope.

Suddenly, Shimada seemed to see hope of turning around.

If the customer he was fighting against was a customer who was about to be pried away by the branch manager who switched jobs within the industry, then it would be a merit but no fault. Shimada's blood gradually became excited. Tonight they were having a banquet at the General Hotel, and he had to find a way to sneak into it.

Go in and get something. Otherwise, you will definitely lose the investigation meeting at the head office next Monday. When I think that I will be splashed with dirty water by a person who is about to betray Mizuho Bank, Shimada feels unwilling to accept it.

The impulse became stronger.

"Sir? Sir?" came a female voice.
