Chapter 680 Arrival
A few days later, Sakai Masao officially assumed the position of branch manager of the Hard Gold Bank in Kochi City. He instantly felt personally twenty years younger.
The new job he was starting over was not like any other. The pleasure of this leap in social status was unprecedented.
In the past, when Masao Sakai worked inside the bank, he was the one who bowed and curtsied to the branch manager and others. Now, he was the boss here, and everyone below him had to bow to him when they saw him.
Naturally, Masao Sakai had to address everyone on his first day in office. Facing the crowd, he tried to show off the style and majesty of the head of the bank and said, “As you know, our Hard Gold Bank is not a local bank, but a national bank with rapid development, headquartered in Tokyo.
This is just one of our new branches. Not only that, but we are backed by a much stronger and more powerful parent company, the Hard Gold Group.
So you don’t have to worry about your future prospects. There are career paths and ladders for advancement. The next step is to see if you work hard enough, and if you work hard enough?”
Here he paused for a moment, clasping his hands in encouragement, before continuing, “I naturally hope that each and every one of you will be able to go out from me and rise up to work in the big cities of Kansai region, such as Osaka and Kyoto, as well as to take up a higher position than the current one in other places.”
As soon as Sakai Masao’s words fell, the people present were smiling and applauding towards him. They all knew in their hearts that the branch chief was not just talking empty words.
In terms of income, they were paid 20% more than their local counterparts. In terms of career development, as Masao Sakai had said, Hard Gold Bank was a thriving national bank, not a small local bank.
Today, it has branches not only in Kyoto and Osaka in Kansai, but also in Fukuoka and other cities in Kyushu.
If they do a good job and have outstanding performance, they will naturally be recommended by the branch manager towards the top to participate in the bank’s internal promotion examination and training.
They also have an advantage that other local branch banks don’t have, because Sakai Masao is the father-in-law of Kishimoto Masayoshi, the chairman of the Hard Gold Group.
Sakai Masao pressed his hands downward, signaling that everyone didn’t need to applaud any more and said, “It’s almost time, let’s start business!”
After he finished speaking, everyone returned to their own workstations one after another to do their own work. At this time, the electronic roller shutter door was slowly starting to rise.
Sakai Masao’s office was on the upper floor, so he watched the door being completely opened, saw someone come in to conduct business, and then turned toward the stairs to go.
He just walked into the office and sat down not long, there is a female subordinate is the rules and regulations of a cup of tea to the ready-made cup of tea in front of him to put down.
Sakai Masao’s cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone to see the caller ID is the youngest daughter Sakai Meiling called. He hesitated a little, but still pressed the green answer button.
“Dad, I heard from my mom that you assumed the position of branch chief for the Hard Gold Bank’s branch in Kochi City.” Mirei Sakai said as she strolled down a boulevard in the middle of the university campus.
“Your mom’s mouth is just quick to tell you everything. You make a long story short, I’m on work time.” Sakai Masao said in a serious manner.
Sakai Meiling said with a small mouth, “Now, I don’t believe that there will be anyone else who dares to say anything about you that isn’t true. You are Brother Justice’s father-in-law.”
“Words can’t be said like that. I definitely can’t be emboldened just because I have this layer of kinship with Justice.
Justice trusted me and entrusted me with the management of this one bank branch, so I can’t let down his trust in me.” Masao Sakai said seriously.
“Dad, you are becoming more and more of a leader.” Sakai Meiling said in disbelief.
“You’re calling me just to make small talk, then I’m hanging up.” Masao Sakai said as he didn’t want to talk empty words with his youngest daughter during work hours.
“You’ve only just attained the position of branch manager, is this a case of not even recognizing your own daughter?” Sakai Meiling blurted out.
“If there’s something, just say it. If there’s nothing, just wait until after I get off work and we’ll talk slowly.” Sakai Masao did not like doing things outside of work during working hours.
The fact that he was able to obtain such an opportunity to work again inside the bank was with a sense of gratitude towards Masayoshi Kishimoto. He knew that it was also his eldest daughter’s initiative to help. If Masayoshi Kishimoto hadn’t agreed, he wouldn’t be sitting in this position right now.
“I need some money, are you able to lend me some?” Sakai Meiling said without haste.
“Isn’t the living expenses your sister gave you enough?” Masao Sakai asked rhetorically.
“Indeed not enough.” Sakai Meiling said bluntly.
“Then you should find a way to save it. I don’t have any money here. How about you ask your mom?” Masao Sakai said as he wasn’t going to send her any money.
It wasn’t like Sakai Meiling hadn’t asked her own mom. The other party’s reply was the same as her own dad’s, no money, ask your dad.
The reason why they didn’t give money to their youngest daughter was not because they were heartless, but because they were unhappy with Sakai Misuzu’s attitude of spending money lavishly. At first, she had 40 million yen on hand.
This spent it all not to mention. Currently, she had a monthly source of living expenses as usual. They believed that the money that Sakai Rie gave her, though not much, was definitely not to the point where it would not be enough. If this wasn’t enough for Sakai Mirei to spend, it was all because of her reckless spending.
“You guys don’t have to kick me around like this! I’m your own daughter.” Sakai Meiling said as she played the emotional card.
“I didn’t say you weren’t my real daughter either!” Sakai Masao was a king of iron. No matter how much his youngest daughter appealed to his pity, he would not beat the money out of her.
He knew that with the first time, there would be a second time, a third time, and countless times in the future. Even if he had a sum of money on hand, it would not be enough for her to make up all sorts of reasons to ask for it personally.
“I’m asking you to borrow, not asking you for it. In the future, I will return the money to you when I have it.” Sakai Meiling was laying out words of sophistry.
“Don’t say I don’t have money, even if I did, I wouldn’t lend it to you. The 40 million yen you have in your hand has all been squandered by you. Even if I gave you some more money, it wouldn’t be enough for you to use.” Sakai Masao directly singled out.
Even if Sakai Meiling knew that he definitely had money in his hands, there was nothing more she could do. She was completely able to read from above the other party’s attitude what it meant to say more than necessary.
Sakai Meiling suddenly crossed her heart and threatened, “Dad, you’re forcing me to do strange things to make money!”
“Feel free.” Sakai Masao had been completely disappointed in her for a long time, after all, there had been his youngest daughter’s insistence on the matter of saving up to sell the marriage contract in the first place. Unmoved, he replied succinctly.
