Kitahara's application for administrative ruling reached the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Finance Office. Companies dared to request correction of the city hall's illegal bidding behavior in bidding projects. This is simply unheard of in Japan, which has always attached great importance to the harmony between government and enterprises.

Several senior officials from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Department of Finance gathered secretly in the conference room, unable to believe the materials they saw in front of them. There were several companies applying for administrative rulings. But it was obvious that one of them was called Shin Tadakatsu Industrial Co., Ltd.

He is the leading brother here.

The president of this club is called Hamanaka.

The lawyer jointly entrusted by several clubs is Kitahara Yiichi.

Nakata, the chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Finance Department, looked at the materials in his hand. Although Nakata has a high position as a chief, he does not have much ambition. He just wants to do the job safely and then, after a period of time, move to a place of leisure.

position, preparing for retirement.

Nakata absolutely does not want to be involved in any partisan struggle.

However, things backfired, and now it was this application for administrative ruling that disrupted everything.

On the conference table, in addition to the administrative ruling information, there are also several black folders piled up, which contain resume-like documents. These information were just collected by the secretary about the Kitahara lawyer.

Nakata picked up these materials and looked at them for a while, his brows furrowed even deeper.

This lawyer named Kitahara, his opponents in the past few lawsuits were Kawamoto Expressway, Akagi Hotel Group, and Kyoto University. All of them are well-known names. The first two listed companies paid huge compensation prices, and Kyoto University’s decision

It was directly overthrown.

This is a vicious dog that bites people.

A monster that once bites, will never let go!

Nakata took a deep breath as he looked at the lawyer's resume.

Naturally, the head of the Department of Finance did not believe that this lawyer would dare to stand up for these clubs.

There must be someone behind it, Nakata thought.

Naturally, what Nakata immediately thinks about is the election of the National Assembly next spring. The target of this administrative ruling is Ishiwata, the executive deputy director of the Shinjuku City Hall Development Committee. Ishiwata is said to have a relationship with a certain official in the current cabinet.

Close relationship.

If Ishiwatari can be captured, it will be of great help to expand the opposition's electoral support.

This is really a fight between gods and gods, and the people suffer.

Nakata couldn't help but scratch his head.

"So, how should we deal with it." A senior official in the conference room said, "This is the first time we have encountered something like this. Perhaps a safer approach is to deal with it coldly first, and we should not rush to make a decision to accept it.

Let’s delay it for a while first.”

The sound broke the silence in the conference room.

All eyes in the conference room suddenly focused on Nakata.

The old foxes who had been in official circles for a long time were all testing what kind of statement Nakata from the Finance Department would make.

Nakata looked around at the people in the conference room.

These people present are all important members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Department of Finance. Among them, there are naturally many chess pieces placed here by various factions. Every move and statement you make at the moment will inevitably reach the ears of these forces immediately.

Nakata doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

I just want to land safely and retire.

If you don't want to be taken advantage of, the best shield is to act according to the rules.

Nakata motioned to the secretary next to him.

The secretary understood, but also replied nervously: "We have urgently studied the materials submitted by this lawyer. So far, we have not found any flaws or flaws in this set of materials, which would allow us to temporarily avoid accepting them.

This administrative ruling.”

"But even if you want to accept the application, you should at least say hello to the Shinjuku City City Hall before accepting it." Another important person in the conference room said, "After all, Shinjuku City's financial expenditures and budget and final accounts documents will also be submitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

Filed with the Finance Department. If we accept it directly without saying hello, I'm afraid it will affect our relationship with the Shinjuku City Hall."

When Nakata heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that intercession and greetings would come so quickly.

"We need to study the procedures and rules." Nakata replied.

"Walling the Shinjuku City Hall in advance can also make them more prepared." The official continued, "After all, this is related to our credibility in front of the citizens as a public authority."

"Then who do you want to say hello to?" Nakata casually asked.

"At least I should say hello to Ishiwatari, the deputy director of the Shinjuku City Hall Development Committee." The official looked at the materials on the table, "After all, this application for administrative ruling is for Shinjuku City's high-tech park project.

.The person in charge of this project is Ishiwatari. He was questioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Council a few days ago. It would be best to inform him in advance."

Nakata looked around and found that many important officials agreed with this opinion.

The head of the Department of Finance couldn't help but secretly sweat again. It seemed that the forces behind Shidu had already put in all the chess pieces, big and small.

However, the more this happened, the more Nakata sensed danger.

The opposition will inevitably spare no effort to seize every flaw in the process.

It's you who say hello, but I'm the one who bears the responsibility.

Of course Nakata would not be so stupid. Immediately, he said, "Excuse me, what can we say to say hello."

This important official did not expect Nakata to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and became speechless for a moment.

Several colleagues nearby who had wanted to help this important person speak looked at each other in confusion.

A few minutes of silence passed.

No one can answer this question.

Of course, those who wanted to say hello did not dare to answer.

Seeing that no one answered, Nakata continued, "In this case, we will proceed according to the rules. If the acceptance conditions are met, we will accept it immediately. Then, we will directly serve the relevant legal documents in accordance with the procedures and hold a hearing on the administrative ruling. In my personal opinion,

There is no need to say hello to the Shinjuku City Hall. Since we, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Finance Office, are the arbiter of this case, we should strictly maintain neutrality."

"But, Chief Nakata." Another executive was obviously a little anxious after hearing this, "This is the first time we have accepted an administrative ruling. Maybe, if we have to go to court later, we may

This is the first case in Japan where the decision of the local finance department is subject to judicial review. No matter what, we must be cautious."

"This is the first time, so we'd better say hello in advance."

"Because this is the first time we encounter this situation, we must abide by the rules even more." Nakata replied, "If we don't abide by the rules the first time, then we can't expect the second or third time.

, come back for the fourth time and follow the rules.”

Nakata's words echoed in the conference room.

The executives behind Ishiwa showed displeasure.

In this way, although Nakata decided to accept the case based on the rules not because of his intention to abide by the rules, but out of considerations of avoiding liability. But the result was ultimately beneficial to Kitahara and others. Not long after, the case acceptance notice was printed
