Kitahara Sosuke drove to Kansai Airport, Osaka Kansai Airport, and then took a plane alone to Chitose Airport. As soon as he landed, he met the head of the Sapporo Financial Services Agency, Kotomori Rei, who came to pick him up in person.
This is a tall, middle-aged man with a good appearance, with a faint smile on his face. He must have done his homework a long time ago, so when he saw Kitahara Sosuke in the crowd, he smiled and greeted him.
The two bowed in greeting, and Kitahara Sosuke realized that it was Kotomine Rei himself who came to greet him. The dignified head of the city's Financial Department actually came to pick up a bank employee and businessman in person. This was too polite.
"Sir Kotomine, I'm going to trouble you about this matter." Kitahara Sosuke looked at him and said with a smile.
Kotomori waved his hand and said with a smile: "President Kitahara, when you come to Sapporo, you should treat it as if you are coming to your own home. There is no need to be formal. As long as I can help, I will do my best."
Kotomori couldn't figure out the real details of Kitahara Sosuke. Although Sapporo, which is more than a thousand kilometers away from Osaka, is the fifth most populous city in Japan, it has little connection with Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya. He himself is
A native of Sapporo, he returned to his hometown to work after graduating from Keio University and has a stable political career. If it hadn't been for the sudden reform of the Ministry of Finance, he would never have been able to obtain such great power.
He had always wanted to curry favor with Hata Tsumugi and Hashimoto Ryutaro, but they were too far apart and had no acquaintances in Tokyo and Osaka. He had no way of getting close to these two big bosses. Today, he suddenly received a call from Hata Tsumugi himself.
Fengli was flattered. When he heard that he was going to help a banker named Kitahara Sosuke, he immediately agreed.
He had seen Kitahara Sosuke on TV several times, and his impression of him was probably still stuck in the days when the Tokyo Trial was broadcast nationally. He didn't know what the relationship between this young man and the current Minister of Finance was, but Hata Tsutomu could fight in person.
Calling for help shows that this big boss still values Kitahara Sosuke very much.
Perhaps the opportunity he was looking for fell to this young banker, so Kotomori would rather come by himself than let Kitahara Sosuke feel neglected.
Kotomori insisted on taking Kitahara Sosuke to the city center in his own car, and introduced him to the customs and customs of Sapporo. During this period, he also tried to find out why Kitahara Sosuke came here.
Hearing that it was for a female prosecutor named Fujiwara Norika, Kotomori was even more confused.
There seemed to be some impression in his memory, but he couldn't recall it.
Kotomori was even more curious about why a Tosan banker had an encounter with a new prosecutor from the Sapporo Financial Services Agency. After the restructuring of the Ministry of Finance, banks and the Financial Services Agency became natural enemies. The Financial Services Agency wanted to
To thoroughly investigate the bank's internal problems, the bank wants to reduce the Financial Services Agency's repressive power on the bank.
In Sapporo, Kotomori's biggest headache is dealing with a few behemoths in the banking industry. These guys rely on their strong backing to ignore the Financial Services Agency. Recently, Kotomori plans to take down Sumitomo and Taiyo Sakura.
These two families are having an affair.
Kitahara Sosuke felt a little relieved when he saw that Kotomine Rei did not know Fujiwara Norika. If the matter was very big, it was impossible for Kotomine Rei, the director of the Sapporo Financial Services Agency, to be unaware of the matter. Then the so-called seven listed companies
The matter of suing Fujiwara Norika should not be that serious.
When he came to Sapporo, he even made plans to save this little girl even if he turned the Sapporo business world upside down.
"I really don't know the specific matter. How about I send someone to check it out?" Yan Fengli was a little embarrassed. He had promised just now that he would do his best to help with anything. But now it's okay. If something happens under his nose, he will
They all know nothing.
Kitahara Sosuke shook his head quickly: "No need to bother, I will go to her now and ask her if there is any difficulty, I will contact you directly, Commander Kotomine."
"That's... okay, President Kitahara. There is my secretary's phone number in the drawer. If you need anything, you can contact him directly. I might miss your call during the meeting."
Kotomori didn't insist. He was not a fool. From Kitahara Sosuke's actions and words, he could already feel the unusual relationship between him and Fujiwara Norika.
If there is really something going on between the two of them, it would be inappropriate for him, an outsider, to break in.
Kitahara Sosuke got a gold-gilt business card from the drawer and thanked him again.
The car stopped in front of the Sapporo InterContinental Hotel.
This is one of the most famous five-star hotels in the center of Sapporo, with a height of 26 floors. It was considered an extremely grand building in the 1990s. People who can stay in this hotel are either rich or noble.
Kitahara Ai has a lot of money given by Kitahara Sosuke, and usually lives here alone. According to Shiying, now she and Fujiwara Norika are living in the hotel, so that she can ensure Fujiwara Norika's safety at all times.
Arriving all the way to the top twenty-sixth floor, in front of the presidential suite, Kitahara Sosuke pressed the doorbell under the guidance of the waiter.
"Who?" Beihara Xiaoai's voice came from inside the door.
"Little love, it's me."
"Mr. Kitahara? You're here!" Kitahara Xiaoai opened the door quickly, then glanced into the house, walked out quietly, bowed to him first, and then whispered, "Sister Fujiwara just fell asleep."
"Now, are you going to bed?" Kitahara Sosuke looked at his watch, dear, isn't it only four o'clock in the afternoon?
"Yes, she has been too tired these past few days and hasn't had a good rest. I just tried to persuade her for a long time and massaged her for a while before she closed her eyes." Kitahara Xiaoai sighed, "Let's go in and talk, Mr. Kitahara
?”
"Let's talk outside, don't disturb her sleep." Although Kitahara Sosuke knew that the presidential suite was very big, he always felt that as soon as he stepped in, he might wake up Norika Fujiwara, who had finally fallen asleep, so he insisted on standing outside and chatting.
Beiyuan Xiaoai didn't care, she took the room card and closed the door and came out.
Her thinking was very clear and she quickly sorted out the whole story.
It turns out that Fujiwara Norika was selected by the Sapporo Financial Agency for her outstanding work ability more than a month ago to join the special inspection team, which was going to investigate a large local listed company called Sapporo Fisheries. This company was suspected of illegal fishing, wage arrears, and internal corruption.
He also violently injured many fishermen. From Xiao Ai's description, he was simply a local snake who did all kinds of evil.
After Norika Fujiwara took over the case, she quickly investigated the matter to the bottom of the matter. Related to Sapporo Fisheries are six other listed companies in Sapporo City involved in various industries. Without exception, they are all family-owned enterprises. They dominate Sapporo.
He did evil things and made a lot of money from ordinary people through several financial turmoils.
A large part of this huge amount of money was confirmed to have flowed to the Hosokawa Morihiro cabinet. This was big news. As the most critical documentary evidence and witnesses were available, Fujiwara Norika reported it and proposed to let Tokyo
The District Attorney intervened.
Who would have known that the superiors had been refusing to investigate, and what was even more shocking was that the documents and information placed in her office disappeared overnight, and on the day of the trial, the witnesses all recanted their confessions, claiming that it was Fujiwara Norika who asked them to do it.
perjury!
Therefore, the case was completely failed, and Norika Fujiwara was slapped down and faced with a lawsuit. In addition, this case may affect her being recruited by the Tokyo Financial Services Agency headquarters as a top talent.
You know, Kitahara Sosuke fully supported the original reform of the Ministry of Finance, and he considered that he could pave the way for this little girl in the future. Although Hashimoto Ryutaro has not said hello yet, he is not stupid, how could he ignore Kitahara Sosuke?
Relationship with Norika Fujiwara.
With so many layers of protection, someone actually dared to target his woman!
Kitahara Sosuke was silent for a moment and asked several more questions. Kitahara Ai answered truthfully based on memory.
After listening to these things, he probably understood what was going on.
The seven companies of Sapporo Fisheries are local snakes that are difficult to deal with. In the past, the Financial Services Agency just went through the motions. Unexpectedly, they were targeted by Fujiwara Norika, and they actually found out something, involving Hosokawa Morihi.
It’s hard to save anyone’s face, they want to kill Fujiwara Norika.
It was just that personal safety was not involved, so Kitahara Xiaoai did not take action.
Looking at it this way, Kotomori, who had no idea about it, seemed a little suspicious.
