The decoration of the Baqi private room is simple and elegant, full of the rich Japanese cabin style.
The layout inside is mostly made of a mixture of wood and paper. On the tatami is a large low table with classical tea sets placed on it.
Two beautiful women in Japanese clothes were kneeling on the ground, one was responsible for serving tea and water, and the other was responsible for handling the dishes.
Five men were already sitting at the low table, and there was still an empty seat for Kitahara Sosuke.
Irie was standing at the door. When he saw Kitahara Sosuke and Kobayashi Kyoko walking in, he made a "please" gesture.
"Kitahara, I have specially reserved a seat for you, come on." Oshima Mitsuo waved his hand and said "kindly", pointing to the seat next to him where the person with the lowest status was sitting.
Also present were Naoto Asano, Yu Kuroda, Yang Yamada, and a fat middle-aged Mediterranean man. The person sitting in the main seat was not Yang Yamada, but the Mediterranean man.
The Mediterranean man who was chatting happily with Naoto Asano and Yo Yamada immediately showed a bright smile and waved to him after seeing Sosuke Kitahara.
"Aosuke, come on, come on, sit next to me." He glanced at Yamada Yang who was very attentive next to him, and changed his tone, "President Yamada, please give up a seat, everyone leans back."
He directed the two people on Yamada Yang's side and motioned for them to move back.
On the man's right are Asano Naoto and Kuroda Yu, and on the left are Yamada Haru and Oshima Mitsuo. Such a move would put Oshima Mitsuo in the lowest position.
And being able to sit next to him means that in his heart, that person's status is only lower than Asano Naoto, but higher than everyone else.
Yamada Yang's face suddenly fell, but thinking of his father's instructions and the importance of this dinner, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and move back.
Oshima Mitsuo, who was mocking Kitahara Sosuke just now, looked as if he had eaten shit. He blushed and sat in the worst position.
"Brother Kishimoto, do you know Kitahara?" Naoto Asano asked with a smile, glanced at Sosuke Kitahara who was sitting down, and then cast his gaze on Kyoko Kobayashi, "Kobayashi, why are you still standing? Quickly pour a drink for Vice President Kishimoto.
ah!"
Kobayashi Kyoko was confused. It was her first time to attend such a dinner. Her colleagues said that such banquets usually required them to accompany the guests and sing, and they might have to endure the wrath of the big shots.
But at least, they are still participants and have a place of their own.
At this time, her personal place was obviously not arranged for this dinner.
She was clearly treated the same as the two waiters and the waitress!
This is outright bullying!
Vice President Kishimoto? Kitahara Sosuke sat up straight and looked at the Mediterranean Sea. It turned out that he was the Vice President of the Osaka Branch who planned to retire this year.
Behind the scenes, Kyoko Kobayashi felt extremely aggrieved and did not dare to say anything. She could only take the wine bottle from a Japanese waitress and planned to pour wine for Vice President Kishimoto.
The thought of leaving now flashed through her mind, but seeing Kitahara Sosuke's back, she finally gritted her teeth and decided to stick to it.
We must not cause Chief Beihara to be exiled.
"Kobayashi, please sit next to me. Give me the jug and let me pour wine for Uncle Kishimoto." Kitahara Sosuke held down Kyoko Kobayashi's hand, took the jug, and poured a glass of sake for Kishimoto, smiling at the same time.
Then he asked, "Uncle Kishimoto, don't you mind giving her some space?"
"Haha, is this your girlfriend?" Kishimoto Masaaki slapped her leg and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, just sit here."
He had already spoken, and Asano Naoto couldn't say anything more, so he could only smile and agree.
Yamada Yang on the side looked even more depressed. Why did this big boss look like he was very familiar with Kitahara Sosuke? He turned to look at Oshima Mitsuo, who also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
It turned out that Yamada Yang decided to "banquet" Kitahara Sosuke and Kobayashi Kyoko, humiliate them, increase his prestige, and wipe away the shame of being repeatedly slapped in the face by Kitahara Sosuke.
He invited Asano Naoto and Kuroda Yu to make Kitahara Sosuke embarrassed in front of his boss, and he already knew through Oshima Mitsuo that Kitahara Sosuke and Asano Naoto were at odds.
In order to get the loan, Naoto Asano must be on his side.
At the same time, they made an appointment at Huikawa, where they could also use the oracle toad to determine the prices of several stocks mentioned by Irie Masaru. However, Ogami couldn't make an appointment, so Yamada Yo approached his father Yamada Masamune, who then found Kishimoto Masaaki.
, and finally made an appointment with Ogami and Oracle Toad.
For this loan business, Oshima Mitsuo secretly skipped Nao Asano and Yu Kuroda and reported directly to Masaaki Kishimoto, who also connected with the Yamada group.
The vice president of Tosan Osaka Branch is considered a giant figure in Osaka's financial community. Naturally, Yamada Masamune had to fawn over him, and he also specifically asked Yo Yamada to provide for Kishimoto Kataaki.
Yamada Yo didn't know that Kishimoto Masaaki and Asano Naoto secretly had a huge conflict. If the former did not retreat, the latter's promotion path would be blocked, and his loan played a key role in it.
That's why Kitahara Sosuke saw this scene.
Mitsuo Oshima knelt down and licked everyone, especially his boss Aki Kishimoto.
Yamada Yo knelt down and licked Kishimoto Katoaki according to his father's wishes, and also maintained a good relationship with Asano Naoto.
Kuroda Yu kneels and licks Asano Naoto.
Naoto Asano is relatively friendly to Yo Yamada and hopes to let him handle the loan from him and get at least half of the credit.
By virtue of his high position, Kishimoto Masaaki stands at the top of this kneeling food chain.
In Kitahara Sosuke's view, Masaaki Kishimoto and Naoto Asano were naturally opposed to each other. Knowing that Naoto Asano was suppressing him, Naoto Asano extended an olive branch to him in order to disgust him. This was normal.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. This is the case in shopping malls and workplaces.
After understanding this somewhat complicated interpersonal relationship, Kitahara Sosuke immediately made a judgment and stood in Kishimoto Masaaki's camp to resist the malicious intentions from the branch and Yamada Yo.
The dishes came one after another. Kishimoto Masaaki, who was the focus of the crowd, was eating and talking while the others greeted him with smiles and did not dare to interrupt him at will.
The more Yamada Yang listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
He thought Kishimoto Masaaki and Kitahara Sosuke had some deep relationship. It turned out that it was just a small friendship between their parents. They were in the same university as Kitahara Masao?
Not even the same level.
I didn’t have much contact after joining the industry.
Is this kind of friendship worth being so close to Kitahara Sosuke?
Yamada Yo couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand the positions and terminology in the banking system at all. Anyway, he just felt very unhappy.
Why is the person he kneels and licks so nice to Kitahara Sosuke? He is so indifferent to him?
Everyone except him became more and more shocked as they listened, especially Mitsuo Oshima and Yu Kuroda, whose eyes changed when they looked at Kitahara Sosuke.
His biological father is actually Masao Kitahara, the executive director of the Tokyo head office!
This is already the position closest to the core power level.
Judging from his age, Kitahara Masao still has a chance to go further!
As long as you officially join the board of directors, you will be a real core figure in Dongsan!
Oshima Mitsuo's head was a little confused, and he thought that the director Kitahara who recommended the special financing project plan was just a distant relative of his...
The clown is actually myself...
Kyoko Kobayashi was even more confused. After Masaaki Kishimoto revealed Kitahara Sosuke's identity, she couldn't listen to anything else.
Department Chief Kitahara is the son of the executive director. He is a real rich second generation, handsome and tall, and graduated from a prestigious school. This...
"I heard that President Yamada and Sosuke had a little conflict before?" Masaaki Kishimoto asked suddenly with his face covered with oil.
Oshima Mitsuo never mentioned this matter to Kishimoto Kataaki. He usually had no contact with this big shot and always communicated with his assistant.
He looked at Yamada Yang, who also had a confused look on his face.
Oshima Mitsuo's heart tightened. As expected, there is no airtight wall in a bank.
