Afternoon, 15:36.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky on the streets of Tokyo. On the clover leaf-shaped overpass in Shinjuku District, a black Audi was driving quickly on the asphalt road. The driver in the driver's seat did not seem to care about the gradually becoming slippery road surface and stepped on the accelerator to the limit.

Approaching the maximum speed limit on urban roads. Yellow left or right flashing lights flash from time to time, and vehicles turn left and right through the traffic.

After getting off the overpass, the black Audi passed through an intersection. The red brake lights suddenly came on, a harsh friction sound erupted from under the chassis, and two black brake marks were left on the asphalt road. The car stopped at a four-story building.

, in front of a building that looks like a small vault. On the large wall of the building are several silver Chinese characters - "Mizuho Bank Shinjuku Branch".

Today is Christmas. There is a Christmas party among the employees of the Shinjuku Branch in the afternoon. A Christmas tree has been erected in the center of the staff’s office hall on the second floor, surrounded by many cakes and drinks. Although it is called a party, it is actually just a decoration.

We bought some snacks and drinks, just like afternoon tea, for employees to take a temporary break. But even so, it is rare to enjoy a short leisure time in the busy work. Many employees gathered around the hall, holding snacks and talking to each other.

chat.

"Bang, bang, bang." A harsh sound of leather shoes came from the stairs on the second floor, which was obviously inconsistent with the atmosphere of the party.

A rather ferocious man appeared from the stairs. He had a fierce expression on his face and walked in a hurry, as if he had something very urgent to accomplish. Behind this man, there was a young man.

, he wears a scale sunflower medallion on the chest of his suit.

The surrounding employees recognized that the leading man was Shimada, the vice president of the branch, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and they all moved out of the way, whispering:

"Isn't that the vice president? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Have you heard? He will be dismissed this afternoon."

"What?"

"No way. Vice President Shimada is going to be dismissed?!"

"Is it related to the recent self-examination activities carried out by the branch?"

"I don't know the specifics. But I seem to have heard that he has engaged in things that are against the interests of our bank customers."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity. If you do something like this, your career will be ruined."

In the long corridor on the second floor, Shimada and Kitahara kept walking forward. Shimada had already issued an instruction to freeze the bank account of Akagi Hotel Group 458789103487 in advance on the bank's internal system, and uploaded the court preservation ruling.

Scanned version. The approval procedure has reached the final stage, and the director of the legal department of the Shinjuku branch, Yoshinaga Shito, needs to give his opinion and express his approval. It has been stuck with him for almost two hours now.

Shimada felt a slight headache when he thought of Yoshinaga, the director of the legal department. This Yoshinaga had always been a stranger, but his ability to talk to people and tell ghosts made him famous. Now, he was about to face

He was dismissed from his post, and the bank account to be frozen was Akagi Hotel Group, a major customer of Mizuho Bank.

This old fox will certainly look forward and backward, and will delay whenever he can.

"Lawyer Kitahara, the director of the legal department of our branch, Yoshinaga Santiago, is a difficult opponent." Shimada turned to look at the lawyer behind him, "This Yoshinaga has always been very tactful. If we need to use some tough measures, we will need to

You are here to help."

Beihara was holding a briefcase in his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a cunning look flashed in his eyes, as if he was ready for the upcoming fight.

…

At this moment, in the office of the director of the legal department of the branch, Ji Yong is sitting behind the desk leisurely making a cup of wolfberry tea and clicking the mouse carelessly. The director of the legal department obviously has no interest in the Christmas party outside the office hall and is still on his own.

He sat quietly in his office.

He glanced at the screen with his peripheral vision and saw the ruling on freezing the Akagi Hotel Group sent by Shimada on the system.

Yoshinaga is not a fool. Having been rooted in the banking system for nearly twenty years, he is well aware of the importance of choosing the right side in personnel struggles. At the moment, Takamatsu of the branch has launched a self-examination activity vigorously, and the deputy director of the Shinjuku branch

Governor Shimada was singled out as a model for criticism.

Shimada will be dismissed in the afternoon.

Before he was dismissed, Shimada was so determined to apply for freezing the company's assets.

Fortunately, Yoshinaga paid close attention and discovered that Akagi Hotel Group was an important customer introduced to Mizuho Bank by branch president Takamatsu.

That makes sense.

This so-called freezing of the bank account was supposed to be Shimada's revenge on branch president Takamatsu.

As a person from a branch, he actually wants to challenge the authority of the branch.

It's really overestimating one's abilities.

Yoshinaga shook his head, with a smile on his face as if he was about to watch a good show. He predicted that Shimada would come to see him in the afternoon, so he had dialed the phone in advance and informed the branch president Takamatsu. Takamatsu should also be there at this moment.

On the way to the branch, I can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, and enjoy the good show that is waiting to happen in a safe place.

"Yoshinaga!" A shout suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting the director of the legal department's meditation. Two figures appeared at the door. One of the figures was Shimada, the vice president of the branch. Shimada strode into the office.

Inside, he didn't even knock on the door. He looked at Jiyong behind the desk and said directly with an unceremonious look:

"At two o'clock, I already sent you the ruling on freezing the bank account of the Akagi Hotel. Why haven't I issued an opinion yet?"

Yoshinaga held the thermos cup with a calm expression. When he saw the menacing Shimada, he slowly stood up from his seat and pointed to the sofa in the office, "Hey, Vice President, please sit down, please sit down. I see this freezing ruling.

Yes. I saw that the account to be frozen belonged to the Akagi Hotel, so I became a little more cautious. Vice President, you also know that the Akagi Hotel has always been a big customer of our bank."

The vice president's words after another seemed to deliberately stimulate Shimada's nerves.

As if he knew that in about ten minutes, Shimada would no longer be the vice president, he deliberately emphasized his voice.

Ever since he was slapped in the face by Takamatsu with information during the inspection countermeasures meeting, Shimada has been holding back a fire in his heart. Now that he saw Yoshinaga acting like he was stalling for time, he couldn't help but become angry:

"One of the requirements for the upcoming inspection of the head office is not to resist the freezing request of the judicial authorities. Are you going to openly violate the bank disciplines that have been repeatedly emphasized at the moment?!"

In the face of Shimada's anger, Yoshinaga remained smiling and unmoved. Is bank discipline important? No, it is important to follow the right leader and which side you stand on.

"I think it would be safer to ask Gao Song, the branch president, for instructions first. After all, he has always been handling the business of the Akagi Hotel Group."

This old fox really wanted to delay time. Shimada frowned and clenched his teeth slightly. Once Takamatsu intervenes, the whole situation will become more complicated. If the bank account of the Akagi Hotel Group cannot be frozen today, Friday,

In this case, they will lose the initiative.

"According to the bank's rules and regulations, freezing property does not require the consent of the superior supervisor. Yoshinaga, are you trying to delay time?!"

Shimada deliberately amplified his voice, hoping to intimidate the director of the legal department in front of him.

Yoshinaga still looked unaffected. He just walked to the kettle in the office, took the teapot and poured tea leaves, "Vice President, let's have a cup of tea first."

"You!" Shimada was so angry that he couldn't speak. At this time, his peripheral vision glanced at Yoshinaga's office computer. The screen happened to be the system's approval interface. The third column happened to be the approval opinion of the frozen ruling.

As long as you click Agree, the Akagi Hotel Group's account will be frozen in the system. At this moment, Shimada can no longer care about anything, and immediately takes a step forward, holding the mouse, and clicks the Agree button.

Yoshinaga was holding the teacup when he turned around and saw this scene. He couldn't help but be shocked. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a "clang". Yoshinaga immediately flew over, grabbed Shimada's hand and pulled hard. This person

The calm expression of the director of the legal department had completely disappeared, and only panic remained in his eyes.

"Are you crazy! Shimada! You are already about to be dismissed, what are you going to do!!!" Yoshinaga shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Give me the approval!!!" Shimada held the mouse in the office tightly with both hands, regardless of the marks on his arms that had been scratched by Yoshinaga. The veins on his neck were constantly bulging, and bloodshot eyes had filled the air.

The entire face was like a terrifying monster with red eyes.

The little black mouse is fighting for two men.

Shimada's financial career depends on the click of a mouse at this moment.

In the office, the two men almost struggled together, fighting for the mouse. From time to time, they bumped into the desk and made a "clang" sound. The file bag on the desktop was knocked off, and the chair was pushed away and fell to the ground.

Above, the bright suits of the two men were torn and messy due to the fight.

Just as the struggle between the two men was about to get out of control, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous in the bank!" A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses had been standing outside the door at some point. His body exuded an extremely powerful oppressive aura.

A warrior who has been on the battlefield, a pair of cold eyes can make the enemy in front of him feel heartbroken.

The visitor was none other than Takamatsu, president of Mizuho Bank Tokyo Branch.

Takamatsu looked at the scene in front of him and was glad that he came early. Fortunately, Yoshinaga, the director of the legal department of the Shinjuku branch, tipped him off. Before coming, he called Kamesaburo several times to inform him that his bank account might be frozen.

.However, this Kamesaburo didn't know what he was doing. At this important moment, the phone couldn't get through no matter what, so he had to rush over in a hurry.

Takamatsu shouted angrily, and the two people fighting for the mouse in the office couldn't help but stop. Shimada was breathing heavily, still holding the mouse tightly in his hand and not letting go.

"Shimada! Your current behavior has seriously violated discipline! The head office will hold an investigation meeting on you next Monday, and I will report your ridiculous behavior!" Takamatsu did not expect that the vice president of the branch in front of him would be so crazy.

How dare you disobey the bank's power system and reach this point.

Shimada's bangs were already a little messy. Holding the mouse tightly in his hand, he sat on the chair in the office and slowly raised his head, with an extremely fierce look in his eyes.

"Now I am still the vice president. I am obliged to implement the rulings issued by the judicial authorities! You have no right to interfere!"

Shimada's voice echoed in the office, instantly attracting the attention of many employees in the office lobby. Gradually, some employees gathered at the door of the legal office and began to watch.

Upon hearing the vice president's direct refutation, Takamatsu's face twitched suddenly, and his eyes widened uncontrollably, as if he couldn't believe that these words were spoken by Shimada. In front of him, Shimada

His temperament seemed to be different from the Shimada he had met at the patrol countermeasures meeting. This... was this the same Shimada who stood obediently and still threw information in his face?

!

Inverted.

Really the opposite!

At this moment, Yoshinaga was holding the mouse tightly beside him. When he saw that the branch president had rushed to the office, he immediately said loudly, "Without the instructions from the Takamatsu branch president, I will not approve this freeze!"

The more at this time, the more important it is to show one's loyalty and side to the leader.
To be continued...
