Chapter 299: Hatchetting the Magpie’s Nest (Revised)
The next afternoon, Miyazaki Ryui appeared in Masayoshi Kishimoto’s office. He had neither sneaked back nor been called back, but had taken the initiative to return to Tokyo, Japan while he was on vacation.
“Can’t you come to work instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to take a vacation?” Masayoshi Kishimoto joked harmlessly as he sat on top of his presidential throne.
“Boss, you’ve made me spend all that time in the San Francisco office in the United States. I’m not used to eating Western food. Why don’t you just let me come back and eat Japanese food?” Miyazaki Ryui said in a double entendre.
“As I recall, you weren’t gone for long! San Francisco, USA isn’t some small countryside place, so you don’t like it that much? A blonde, blue-eyed foreign girl!” Masayoshi Kishimoto suddenly said.
“There are also many blondes in Tokyo, Japan. There’s absolutely no need for me to travel far and wide across the ocean.” Miyazaki Ryui blurted out.
“You really want to come back to Japan?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he crossed his fingers and held his jaw.
Miyazaki Ryui was instantly as if he had been given a shot in the arm. He sat up straight and said in a serious manner, “Very much, even in my dreams I want to come back to be taught at your side.”
“There is no place for you here at the Tokyo headquarters. Why don’t you go to Osaka? After all, our Hard Gold Group doesn’t have a stronghold in the Kansai region.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
Miyazaki Ryui was instantly deflated. He was thinking that with his special personal relationship with the chairman he would be able to return to Tokyo to work. Even if he wasn’t presiding over the operations of a subsidiary, he could still serve at the headquarters.
If he was really sent to Osaka by the chairman, then everything would need to start from scratch. Even if Osaka was the economic center of the Kansai region, it gave him the feeling of being exiled again. Only, this time it was a bit closer than the last exile.
“Then I’d better go back to the San Francisco office in the United States to continue my stay.” Miyazaki Ryui did not want to develop and expand the “barren land” of Western Japan.
“You! What you lack the most is the courage to start from scratch again. In this regard, you are far inferior to Kobayashi Kiyoshi.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto was reminded of the other party’s hanging from a cherry blossom tree in Ueno Park. Although this matter was in the past, it was possible to see his inner character from it.
Even though Kobayashi Kiyoshi was so impulsive that he was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment for assaulting his superior, he did not choose to end his personal life by committing suicide because he had lost everything.
After he was released from prison, he was very active in looking for a job, completely throwing away his past glory as a section chief at the head office of a large bank, and instead trying to start again from a basic position in a small company.
“I admit that I am really inferior to Kobayashi Kiyoshi. If he hadn’t excelled, you wouldn’t have entrusted him with the most central business of our group, Boss.
Nowadays, although Marunouchi’s Hard Gold Capital has not yet reached the point of global fame, it has already gained notoriety in the whole of Japan.” Miyazaki Ryui had a word to say.
“The fact that you dare to admit your inadequacy and inferiority is where your strength lies. Even if you were allowed to come back to work at the headquarters, you would inevitably be assigned a ministerial position. Do you think you’re best suited to work in that department?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said without haste.
Miyazaki Ryui knew that it wasn’t the case that he could work in that department just because he wanted to. There was nothing that he liked better than the Personnel Department. However, the current Personnel Director was Takayuki Nanno.
Even if he wasn’t the chairman’s childhood friend, he couldn’t be moved at all. Takayuki Nanno’s excellent work was completely convincing.
Even if he were to win the position of Personnel Director, there was no guarantee that he would be able to do a better job than him.
The most likely situation would be that the personnel department people would not be convinced of themselves, and at the same time, they would also have a grudge against Takayuki Nanno.
The current administrative director is Ota Hidetori. She is one of the oldest members of the company. Although she always said that she kissed the chairman’s ass, there was no grudge or beef between the two of them.
Not only that, they were also considered to be in the same camp and faction. At one time, Oda Feiqiao had even put in a good word for herself at the top of the group’s high-level meeting.
In public and private, Miyazaki Ryui would not covet the Administration Department. Not to mention that under her leadership, the Administration Department was doing well and was well organized.
He pondered and pondered, not without feeling that the Finance Department was a fat vacancy. Now at the moment, the finance minister position is still vacant.
Even so, has been presiding over the work of the Ministry of Finance Vice Minister Matsumoto Kouji is in the active pursuit of. He hoped that through his outstanding work, he could win the final approval of the chairman and the official appointment of his position as the minister.
Miyazaki Ryui thought that Matsumoto Kouji was a person who neither had any decent qualifications within the group, nor had any background or foundation. Even if you take over the nest, you won’t have to worry too much about a trouble in the future.
“Have you thought about it or not?” Kishimoto Masayoshi looked at the silent Miyazaki Ryui and asked.
“Minister of Finance.” Miyazaki Ryui said decisively.
“You are quite good at choosing.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was well aware that Japan’s corporate financial system was extremely sound. Even if you don’t put someone from your heart above this one position, it’s not easy for others to get more money.
There will be a third-party accountant and tax accountant’s office to intervene in the verification. Only after they sign and seal the documents can they be reported to the relevant government departments. Taxation in Japan is a very complicated system, but it is also done well by the Japanese people who are very meticulous.
Even if it is not a listed company, but just a small company, it must be so. If there is any mistake, the person in charge of the firm is fully responsible.
The normal process is that the government tax department receives an actual report, and then they send someone into the reported company to check and audit the accounts.
If they find any irregularities, they will definitely make the relevant people suffer. Not only is the US tax department powerful, but the Japanese tax department is also very powerful.
In Japan, people involved in construction, finance, etc. earn a lot of money, but they also have a lot of responsibility. Problems arise, and it is very possible that a lifetime is not only ruined, but family members are also implicated.
“My strengths are loyalty, absolute loyalty to you, to the company. My shortcomings are also there, the relevant financial aspects of the work experience is still lacking.
However, I will desperately learn. Boss, do you think I can do it?” Miyazaki Ryui exuded a pair of extremely eager little eyes and said.
“No.” Justice Kishimoto replied bluntly.
“You’ve hurt me once again.” Miyazaki Ryui wilted like a frosted eggplant and said.
