Chapter 3 First and second class waiting rooms

1 After six o'clock, the section chief has not returned to his office.He had gone to the managing director's office an hour ago.The director and director of the sales department has a personal office, which is separate from the accounting department. Outside the window, the sun was already very weak, and the twilight was hazy, but the sky looked extraordinarily clear.The light in the office began to dim.There were only a dozen staff members in the room, and although account books were spread out on the table, everyone sat upright in a daze.As soon as the off-duty time at five o'clock passed, there were only two or three figures left in other departments.Only this accounting department is like an isolated island, and the people are still there.The lights were bright, but everyone looked tired.

The deputy section chief, Hagizaki Tatsuo, thought that the section chief might not come back soon, so he said to the staff: I'm afraid the section chief will come back later, so let's go first. As if everyone was waiting for this sentence, everyone immediately regained their vitality and began to tidy up their things. They turned off the desk lamps one after another, said to take a step ahead and left.They were in a hurry, impatient to cast their shadows into the bright lights of the street. Mr. Hagizaki, are you still leaving? No, I'll wait a little longer.Long Xiong replied.

Only one desk lamp was still on, and under the light, the green smoke of cigarettes curled up. Long Xiong was thinking hard, thinking about the section chief.The huge bill is due to be paid tomorrow, just in time for the payday.Counting the bank deposit and tomorrow's income together, there is still a difference of 60 million.Of course, it goes without saying that the bills are cashed, even the salary cannot be delayed.This Showa electric appliance manufacturing company, together with its subordinate factories and branches, has about 5,000 employees.Even if wages are delayed by one day, the trade union will not agree.

Since yesterday, Tokuichiro Sekino, the head of the accounting section, has hardly been able to sit comfortably in his seat for a moment.Although there is still money to be made at the end of the month, part of the cash must be accommodated first, which is enough for the section chief to run around.Regarding such negotiations, the section chief never makes calls in his office.On the one hand, he was afraid that other departments would listen to it. Even his own department, and even Long Xiong, the deputy head of the department, would not talk about these things.All negotiations are done through telephone calls from the executive director's office, in consultation with the directors.

This kind of thing used to happen often, but this time the negotiation with the bank seemed to be going very badly.Because the company is still in arrears of 100 million yuan in the bank with which it has relationships, the bank probably refuses to accommodate.Therefore, since yesterday, the section chief has been trying to clear up other financial relationships, and he has hardly sat in the office.Of course Long Xiong is very clear about this situation. However, it was so late today, and the section chief was still stranded in the director's office, it must be because things were not going well.Long Xiong thought, it will be tomorrow in a blink of an eye, the director and section chief must be very anxious.

The section chief has worked hard enough. Thinking of Section Chief Guan Ye, a good man, sweating from anxiety and thinking hard, Long Xiong couldn't bear to go home first. It was already night outside, and the windows shone with neon lights.Long Xiong looked at the electric clock on the wall, it was already ten past seven.Just as I was about to light another cigarette, I heard the sound of footsteps.Section Chief Sekino came back to the office. Oh, Hagizaki?Haven't left yet?The section chief couldn't help asking when he saw Long Xiong sitting here alone. sorry.You should go back.As the section chief spoke, he hurriedly cleaned up the things on the table.

Is it done? Although Long Xiong's questions were vague, they were both tacitly understood. Um. Section Chief Guan Ye just responded, but there was excitement in his voice.It seems that things are going well.Long Xiong thought to himself. The section chief turned his slender body, took off the coat from the screen and put it on.Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said to Long Xiong: Hagizaki-kun, what are you doing tonight? Nothing. You live in Asagaya, right? Yes. You can take the Central Line, which is right on the way.After eight o'clock, I'm going to Tokyo Station to meet someone.Can you stay with me before eight o'clock?

Long Xiong replied yes.Anyway, it was getting late, so I simply asked the section chief to relax, and agreed immediately.The two walked out of the dark office side by side, leaving only one attendant there.The director probably went home first, his car was no longer at the gate. The tavern they often go to is in an alley near the company next to the earth bridge in the back street of Ginza, which is quite convenient. Narrow storefront, crowded and smoky.The female shopkeeper greeted people with a smile, greeted the visitors attentively, and pulled out two chairs in the corner of the room.

Long Xiong raised his whiskey and soda glass to clink with the section chief.Also to express his congratulations, Long Xiong asked softly: everything is going well, right? Oh, almost. The section chief narrowed his slender eyes, and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.Holding the glass in his hand, his eyes stared at the clear yellow liquid.Looking at it, Long Xiong couldn't help being surprised.Obviously the chief is very nervous.Whenever he encounters such a situation, his eyes will look like this, this is his habit. The section chief was very uneasy, still worrying about something.Yes, he said he was going to meet someone at Tokyo Station, maybe that was the matter?Long Xiong thought about this in his heart.Of course, it is not difficult to guess that it must have something to do with the money in front of me.The look in the section chief's eyes is enough to show that his heart has not completely let go.

However, Long Xiong was inconvenient to ask in detail.That's a matter between the section chief and the director. He, a deputy section chief, cannot be discussed.Of course, if you want to guess, you can guess the outline, but the section chief didn't tell him the details, so it's inconvenient for him to directly ask about the matter. There is a difference in status. Long Xiong didn't feel any injustice in these matters.It was last year that he was promoted to be the deputy section chief, and he was young, only twenty-nine years old.The improvement is considered fast, which is very enviable.In order not to be offensive, he had to be careful in everything at present.It is inevitable that some people will make irresponsible remarks behind the scenes, and besides the respect of the director, he has no other backing.

The female shopkeeper with a round face, a double chin, and a smile all over her face walked up to them. I'm sorry to make you two so uncomfortable. Long Xiong took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with the female shopkeeper, trying to get the section chief to talk. The section chief added a few words from time to time, followed by a smile, but he still couldn't relax his mood.He was very nervous invisibly, and he was always unable to be free and contented.Moreover, he looks at his watch from time to time. let's goAfter a while the chief said.It's almost eight o'clock. Spring is in full bloom, and the back streets of Ginza at night are full of pedestrians. It was already quite warm. Long Xiong said this casually, trying to distract the section chief.But the section chief didn't make a sound, and got into a taxi first. Outside the car window, patches of lights flashed, illuminating the bustling crowd on the street.In the flickering of the lights, the section chief's side face was reflected with dim light and shadow, as if showing his anxious mood. By tomorrow, there must be 60 million yuan in cash on hand.The section chief racked his brains to raise the money.He put his hands in his coat pockets, stared at the window in front of the steering wheel, and didn't move.The lights of the high-rise buildings in the Marunouchi area have been turned off, and they fly past the car windows. It's not easy being a section chief!Long Xiong thought to himself. He deliberately lit a cigarette. You should be coming home late tonight, right? Maybe. The section chief said in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his voice. It's been a long time since I came to the house to say hello.Long Xiong said another word. The section chief replied: Come to play some other day, my wife often misses you too. It took ten minutes from Ginza to Tokyo Station, and the two of them actually only exchanged a few words on the way.Although Long Xiong wanted to bring up the topic, the section chief didn't show much enthusiasm. The car arrived at the station entrance of Tokyo Station. The section chief got off the car first and walked towards the station.Passengers come and go in the station in a hurry, and an uneasy atmosphere is like a torrent, enveloping people and pushing them around. The section chief didn't go straight, but turned to the left and entered.The bright light shines through the glass door to the outside.That's the waiting room for first-class and second-class cars. The section chief opened the door and turned to Long Xiong and said: I'm going to wait for someone here. Then I excuse myself. All right. The section chief glanced at the door and said: It seems that it hasn't come yet.Come in and stay with me for a while. There is a large space between the waiting room and the outside.Blue armchairs were placed several times around the table.The large walls are inlaid with reliefs of places of interest in Japan, and the place names are written in Roman characters.This place is more like a living room than a waiting room. In fact, there are many foreigners in the waiting room.A group of men in blue uniforms sat and chatted.There are also couples with children.Beside the front window, two or three men were listening to something.There are also those who sit back in chairs and read newspapers.Beside those foreigners, there are large suitcases lying horizontally. Only three were Japanese, talking quietly there. The section chief sat down on a chair against the wall.Long Xiong was sitting beside him, with the coffee table in between. Long Xiong thought, the section chief was probably waiting for someone to get off the train, or he was meeting someone who got on the train from Tokyo Station. This waiting room is really luxurious.Long Xiong said something. You might think it is a waiting room for foreigners. Pushing open the door, two Japanese walked in from the door.The section chief didn't stand up, as if he wasn't the one he was waiting for. Long Xiong picked up the American Pictorial that was on the table, and flipped through it page by page. After turning over two or three pages, the section chief suddenly stood up. Long Xiong watched the section chief's thin back.He walked slowly across the patterned floor, stopped at the opposite wall with reliefs of Kyoto scenery, and bowed. Long Xiong was startled.Those sitting there were the two men who had just entered.Didn't the section chief see them coming in just now?On second thought, why didn't the section chief know them? One of them sat with his back facing outward, and the other sat sideways.It was quite far away, but Long Xiong looked at the profile of the man, he looked about forty years old, with short hair, a fat red face, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sunglasses. The two also stood up from their chairs and saluted the section chief.Those with their backs to this side appear more respectful.He gestured to the section chief who was standing across from him, as if to please sit down.So the three sat down again. Seeing this, Long Xiong stood up, and gave a slight salute to the section chief who was facing him, and the section chief also nodded in reply.At this moment, the red-faced man turned his head and glanced at Long Xiong, his glasses reflected the light.But the person sitting facing the wall was still sitting with his back to him, and never turned his head back once. Long Xiong walked slowly to the door.At this moment, he saw a woman standing outside the door.Wearing a stylish black suit, her fair face seemed to be pressed against the glass door.The light was reflected on the glass, and it could be seen that the woman's face was in front of her body, clearly looking inside. Just as Long Xiong saw her, she suddenly moved away and disappeared.Dare to see Long Xiong approaching and left there. Long Xiong strode forward a few steps, opened the door and went out.There are a lot of people walking around outside, including many women in dark suits.He wasn't sure who the woman was just now. Long Xiong was thinking, is she looking around the first and second class waiting rooms just out of curiosity, or is she looking for someone?It's okay to look for someone, but she seems to be staring at someone. Weird thing.Long Xiong murmured in his heart, and walked up the stairs on the No. 2 platform of the Central Line. 2 At 11:20 in the morning, Tokuichiro Sekino, the head of the accounting section, received a call. It's a Mr. Horiguchi calling. As soon as the telephone operator finished speaking, a man was heard saying: Mr. Kanno? Yes.Mr. Horiguchi, right?So presumptuous last night. Sukino seemed to have been waiting for this call, and his tone naturally revealed eagerness. You're welcome.I have negotiated with the other party, please condescend to come immediately, I will wait for you at the T Hall.I am in a western restaurant.The other party said in a low voice. It's in the T Hall, isn't it?Guan Ye asked again, and the other party answered yes and hung up the phone. Sekino put down the receiver and looked at the deputy section chief, Hagizaki Tatsuo, who just happened to look up from the ledger.Long Xiong's eyes already showed that he knew the content of the phone call. Hagizaki-kun, please get ready and get the cash.Hearing Guan Ye's voice, he seemed to be relieved and seemed very angry. Three large boxes are enough. The section chief was referring to the large box made of duralumin.The company always uses this kind of box whenever it goes to the bank to withdraw money.Long Xiong was also thinking in his mind, how big is a bundle of 100,000 yuan banknotes, nearly 300 bundles. which bank?Long Xiong asked. R Mutual Bank Head Office.Sekino replied clearly that as soon as I called, two or three people would be sent by car to R Mutual Bank. Understood. Hearing Tatsuo's answer, Sekino stood up. He ran his hand again to the inside pocket of his jacket.In his pocket was an envelope containing a promissory note with a face value of 30 million yuan.Just got it ready this morning. Sukino put on his coat and walked to the director's office. The director was receiving visitors, but as soon as he saw Guan Ye, he stood up and walked over.He was short in stature, reaching only the shoulders of the tall Sukino.One hand was in the trouser pocket. Are you done?The director asked in a low voice, pretending to be nonchalant, but actually worried. I just got a call, I'm going now.Kanno reported in a low voice. Yeah?The director said with a reassuring look, that's fine, I'll leave it to you. Guan Ye squinted and saw the director turning back to the guest, and then walked out of the room. From the company, it takes only five minutes to get to the T Hall by car.Warm sunlight floods the streets lined with buildings.Driving in front is a tour bus.Sukino stared blankly at the rear of the passenger from the car window.It is already spring. When we arrived at the T Hall, walked through the red carpet, and entered the western restaurant in the basement, there was a man sitting on a chair reading a newspaper. When he saw Guan Ye, he quickly folded the newspaper and stood up. With a long face, narrow eyes, a straight nose, and slightly parted thick lips, there is no expression. On the whole, his appearance is not very conspicuous.Sukino had just met last night in the first-class and second-class waiting rooms of Tokyo Station, and he called himself Horiguchi Jiro. Thank you for your kindness last night.Horiguchi saluted. As soon as he sat down on the chair, Horiguchi handed Sekino a cigarette.Unlike his appearance, he is very lively.The waiter brings coffee.Horiguchi slowly exhaled smoke and said: Just now I called the bank and said that the other party had gone out and hadn't come back yet.Let's wait here for a while. Guan Ye was startled.Immediately consider the issue of time.I was thinking in my mind how long it would take to get the cash and the accountancy department to put the salary into the salary bag.I looked at my watch, it was almost twelve o'clock.When it came to lunchtime, there was even more delay. It doesn't matter, I'll be back in a while.Horiguchi said as if he had read through Kanno's mind, that he had made an appointment and would be back in less than twenty minutes.You are probably in a hurry, so wait a bit. Let you worry.A wry smile appeared on Guan Ye's face, feeling a little relieved in his heart. That's the next thing, Mr. Sekino.Horiguchi moved his body on the chair, leaned close to his face and said, I can't go wrong with what I want, right?It was like a whisper.The voice is muffled, but clear. Is it the two hundred thousand yuan commission?We agree to pay as we go.Don't worry, everything will be done as agreed.Sekino also answered softly. Thank you very much.Horiguchi said that it took a lot of talking and talking to Mr. Dashan to agree to accept it.The amount is so large that even Mr. Dashan is not willing to do so. It really is. Kano nodded.I personally think that's probably the case.Oyama Toshio is the director of the other party who will meet in a while.I checked the directory in advance and found out that he is currently the managing director of R Mutual Bank. This finally saved our emergency. Where, because your company has a reliable reputation, the matter was settled.Otherwise, no matter how high the interest rate is, people will not take this risk.The other party is quite trustworthy.It's just that the number is too large. Yes, because it is too big, no other places are willing to accommodate.Guan Ye put the word elsewhere with special emphasis, alluding to some correspondent banks.The date is between the 10th and 20th of next month.In addition to business income, our company also provides equipment to a large coal mine, and a sum of money can also be recovered at that time.I really dare not hide it, but there is still a shortfall of 60 million yuan, and half of it has been raised from other sources.Now it is a temporary accommodation, please rest assured that there will be no mistakes. knew.I have repeatedly explained to them, and the other party also wants to get some interest in private.It's a deal anyway.As long as you talk about credit, anyone is willing.After Horiguchi finished speaking, his body returned to its original posture. I heard that the current situation in the coal mines is very good.Horiguchi switched to his usual voice and chatted casually. Yes.Sales are good and payments are very prompt.As soon as our company's Kanno finished speaking, the waiter walked over with hesitation. Who is Mr. Horiguchi? I am. your phone. The waiter pulled away the chair, Horiguchi stood up, looked at Sekino and said: It must have been a call from Mr. Dashan, and he has probably returned. Sekino watched as Horiguchi went to answer the phone, and pressed the pocket of his jacket again. Horiguchi immediately walked back with a smile on Mimi. The car stopped in front of the head office of R Mutual Bank near Nihombashi.The newly built thick Greek columns are shining white in the sunlight. The two got out of the car and saw a young man with neatly combed hair and glasses waiting there.As soon as he saw Horiguchi, he came over, bowed respectfully and asked: Mr. Horiguchi, right?Directors are waiting for you.Dressed very smartly, completely like a bank clerk. I'll show you the way. Seemingly very shrewd and capable, he turned around and walked into the building first. The ceiling is high, and the place is as spacious as a square, neatly filled with desks and people sitting there.Many fluorescent lamps are designed to be arranged in rows.It is well-ordered and has an atmosphere unique to banks. Customers have a sense of majesty as soon as they enter the door. Passing through the marble-floored customer lounge, the young clerk led Horiguchi and Sekino into the reception room.Beside a table were four chairs with white covers.In the vase on the table, there are tulips grown in the greenhouse. I'm going to call the director now.The traveler saluted briefly, then hurried out through the door he just came in. The two sat down on chairs.Horiguchi took out a cigarette from the smoking set used by the guests and smoked it.Guan Ye didn't know when Director Dashan would come, so he sat there cautiously and waited. At this time, at the door leading to the inner room opposite, a figure flashed on the glass, knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened.Horiguchi hurriedly threw the cigarette into the ashtray. A burly man with a red face came in.Silver-gray white hair is sandwiched in the hair, combed very neatly.On the tweed coat, there are two rows of buttons, which fit the fat and thin.Smile, showing white teeth.Horiguchi and Sekino stood up at the same time. Director Dashan first said to Horiguchi: Oh, so many neglects recently.The voice is calm and unhurried, quite reserved. very sorry.Horiguchi rested his hands on the table and bowed his head in salute.Guan Ye, who was standing next to him, could easily guess the overtones of the greetings between the two sides. Horiguchi glanced at Sekino, and then said to the director: This is Mr. Sukino, Accounting Section Chief of Showa Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. that I mentioned to you. He also introduced to Kanno: This is Mr. Dashan. Sukino handed over his business card and bowed respectfully at the same time. My surname is Guanye, and I am grateful for the help of my husband this time. Where and where.Director Hong Hong still had a smile on his face, accepted Sekino's business card, looked at Horiguchi again and said: I'll come with an order.Horiguchi-kun, please come back later. Horiguchi saluted, which meant please.The director turned his tall body, opened the door and went out.It took only five minutes before and after, and with mutual understanding, a large promissory note of 30 million yuan was sold at the interest of the black market in an instant. It's amazing, quite majestic.Horiguchi watched the figure of the director disappear outside the door, and couldn't help saying in admiration. Mr. Dashan didn't give you a business card, that's his intention.As far as it is concerned, this transaction should not be publicized, and should be avoided by the eyes and ears of the outside world.The directors have considered everything. Kano nodded.Thinking to himself, maybe this is the case, but maybe Director Dashan can get a lot of money from this black market interest.In any case, as long as the cash is available now, it will do. So, Mr. Sekino, Horiguchi extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, give me the check?I will send it to Mr. Dashan. Sukino put his hand into the pocket of his suit jacket and unbuttoned it, feeling suddenly a little uneasy.But he immediately restrained himself, feeling that his worries were unfounded.What is there to worry about?This is the reception room of the bank introduced by the staff.Director Dashan has also seen it.All of this was mediated by Horiguchi.Besides, I can't let Horiguchi notice the uneasiness in my heart and make him unhappy.Money is absolutely necessary, if you change your mind because of this small joint, the consequences will be disastrous.Starting from the executive director, the company's 5,000 employees are all waiting for the money.Guan Ye felt that his mission was great. He took out the white envelope, pulled out the contents with trembling fingers and handed it to Horiguchi, saying: This is. A check issued by the Showa Electric Manufacturing Company with a face value of 30 million yuan. Oh, this is it. Horiguchi took it without moving his eyebrows.He narrowed his eyes and glanced slowly at the amount on the check. Exactly.Stand up after speaking, then I will go through the cashing procedures, please wait here for a while. He shook the check with his fingers, and walked through the door leading to the inner room.Seeing that he didn't go outside, but went through the inner gate where Director Dashan came in and out, Guan Ye felt relieved. Guan Ye thought that he should get ready immediately to receive the cash.So he picked up the phone on the coffee table in the corner of the reception room and dialed the company. It was Hagisaki's voice that came over the phone. Is it the section chief? Um.I'll get the cash later.Get ready right away and come by car. Understood. Putting down the phone, Guan Ye walked back and sat on the chair.Pull out a cigarette, light it, and exhale slowly.He seemed very calm, but he was always a little uneasy when he didn't see the bundles of banknotes.Anyway, finished a cigarette in a distracted way. Ten minutes passed. This procedure is very labor-intensive. Thinking so in my heart, I finished another cigarette.Time passed by, and he felt that he gradually lost his calm.Anxiety came up from the soles of his feet, and he was restless.He paced on the yellow-painted floor, turning around two or three times, and he didn't have the mind to smoke his third cigarette anymore.Eyes fixed on the tulips on the table.The bright red color of the flowers made him especially uneasy.Half an hour has passed. Guan Ye rushed out of the reception room. In front of me is the broad and majestic bank again.The pilots all sat at the table in an orderly manner.Some face the computer.The female clerk sat at the teller window, counting the fan-shaped banknotes in her hands.Customers waited silently. Sukino rested his elbows on the mirror-like marble counter, leaned out almost half of his body, and asked a staff member hastily: I want to see Mr. Dashan, the director. With a pen in his finger, the clerk turned his head and said politely: Mr. Dashan went to Hokkaido on a business trip five days ago.I won't be back until a week later. Tokuichiro Sekino's eyes suddenly blurred, and his surroundings suddenly darkened. He felt the scene in front of him shake and shake, and with a strange cry, four or five staff members sitting nearby stood up abruptly. 3 That must have been done by a liar.Running away with discounted bills, which in their slang they call swindling bills.Foreign countries call it eating bills, and there are many such frauds.A small man sat on a chair and said hurriedly. That night, the giants of the Showa Electric Manufacturing Company met in their offices.The staff all went home from get off work, only this room was still brightly lit. The so-called giant meeting only includes the manager, executive director and executive director, and it is the highest meeting.In addition, Senuma, the company's legal counsel, and Tokuichiro Sekino, chief of the accounting section, were also present this time. Section Chief Guan Ye's face was as pale as paper, and he was downcast, as if he had lost the ability to think.Just now trembling, he narrated what happened during the day, as if he was telling a nightmare.A check for 30 million yuan was taken away in a blink of an eye. He couldn't believe it was reality anyway.It's so easy, it's out of proportion to the greatness of the stakes. His mind was blank and his ears were buzzing.Suddenly he remembered a sentence in a foreign novel he read when he was young: If this were the dream from last night, how wonderful it would be!So he was dazed and reveried. Mr. Senuma.The managing director spoke to the lawyer.Sukino heard the voice as if it was very far away. I went to the bank to check, and the bills have not been discounted yet. That goes without saying.Who would risk going to the bank to cash it on the spot.I'm afraid that check has already been transferred to a third party for endorsement.Then, the third-party endorser can openly take the check to cash it. Guan Ye listened to the lawyer's voice, as if separated by a layer of clouds. Can't legal means seize that check?The executive director continued to ask, his face was also very pale. What does seizure mean? That is, declared invalid.This is clearly a scam.The check is equivalent to being stolen. no.The lawyer immediately replied that a bill is a legal term. It is a security without cause, which is not affected by fraud, theft and other reasons. As long as it is transferred to a third party, it is safe and effective.This is impossible.The drawer must pay when due.Knowing that the bill is fraudulent, if you do not honor it, it will become a dishonor. The lawyer's words sounded malicious, and the manager, executive, and executive were all silent.To be more precise, there is nothing to say. Senuma-san, the executive director said with sweat dripping from his forehead, so is it okay to publish the notice in the newspaper?The check was stolen and declared void.Just like the missing check notices that are often posted in the newspaper advertisement column. That's not OK.Lawyer Senuma pushed back, and if the endorser said he didn't read the newspaper and didn't know, he would still have to pay.All to no avail.Moreover, doing so would be tantamount to declaring that the company was defrauded of a check worth 30 million yuan.The crux of the matter is whether the incident was reported to the police publicly, or it was kept secret to maintain the company's reputation. The three leaders seemed to be frozen in front of a wall, feeling dazed and bewildered. Sekino-kun This is the first time the manager called him.Hearing this cry, Tokuichiro Sekino was startled and became much more awake.He agreed with his mouth, and turned to the manager.The legs leaned together, and the body bowed up. After the incident, the manager was quickly invited back from Hakone.The manager is already in his 70s, and he is usually a gentle and honest elder. At this moment, the veins on his face are bulging. After the situation, you talked about it just now, and it is generally clear.I think there is an oversight as far as R Mutual is concerned.The tone of the manager's voice struggled to control emotion.Tell me more about what happened after you arrived at the bank. yes.Tokuichiro Sekino replied.I feel my lips are dry and my throat is burning.He sucked his saliva and said: I went to R Mutual Bank together with the man who called himself Horiguchi Jiro. A young man of twenty-four or five years old, wearing a suit, was waiting at the gate of the head office. He led the way and led us into the bank. Sukino's voice was hoarse, thinking about the scene at that time, the sun was shining brightly in front of the bank, and the blue color of the young man's suit was particularly bright and dazzling. You remember that person's appearance, so you asked other employees, and they all said they didn't know this person, did you? yes. Appears to be accomplices.The managing director, who had been silent all this time, interjected. Well, what happened next?The manager ignored the executive director's words, looked at Guan Ye helplessly, and urged him to continue. As soon as he was ushered into the reception room, he left.Then came in a person who claimed to be the executive director of Dashan.Gray hair, fat, about forty-four or five years old.He exchanged pleasantries with Horiguchi and the two, saying that they had been negligent a few days ago and so on.Horiguchi introduced me as the managing director of Dashan.Gray hair, Pang Pang said what he had neglected a few days ago and so on.After Horiguchi introduced me to him, he said he was going to go through the payment procedures and walked out.Later, Horiguchi asked me for a check and said he would hand it to Director Dashan; I believed it was true and handed it to him. Actually not entirely convinced.Don't worry about handing over the check.My fingers trembled as I picked out the envelope.But what restrained this kind of hesitation and timidity was thinking of the company's ardent expectations for the 30 million yuan in cash.Feeling this pressure and feeling this anxiety, he dropped the check.However, it was inconvenient for Sekino to say this. Horiguchi took the check and walked out of the reception room, leaving me alone.I waited for about twenty-five or six minutes. The fiery red tulip flowers floated in front of Sukino's eyes. I couldn't let go, so I ran out of the reception room and told the bank staff that I wanted to see the executive director of Dashan. They replied that the director had gone to Hokkaido for a business trip.The surprise was no small matter.So he inquired about the appearance of the executive director of Dashan, and replied that the director was fifty-two or three years old, very thin, with black hair and a little bald.That's when I realized I was cheated.I hurried to the bank business department, reported to the guards, and asked them to assist in the search in the bank.However, there is no sign of Horiguchi and the fake Oyama managing director everywhere.I was in a hurry to turn around.Immediately ask the bill section chief, he said he didn't know about it.I talked about the appearance of the person pretending to be the executive director of Dashan, and asked them how the liar borrowed the reception room.The section chief was also taken aback, and after a search, he finally found out the whole story from the director of the sales department. The manager frowned and listened to Guan Ye's narration. Sekino Accounting Section Chief continued.He has lost the ability to think, and he just said plainly: The director of the sales department picked up a business card from the table and showed it to me.The name on the business card was Terusuke Iwao, and his title was Member of the Diet of the XX Party. Member of Parliament elected by Nagano Prefecture.In the ×× Party, it is an ordinary role.The legal counsel interjected like a footnote. Kano went on to say: The director of the sales department said that the member's business card was brought by the liar himself.He said he was going to meet with Senator Iwao at the bank, but the Senator hadn't come yet.They hope to meet in the drawing room and borrow it from the bank.The director thought that on the one hand, the chairman of the councilor was an acquaintance, and he could contribute to the parliament when the reciprocal bank law was passed in the future, so he agreed to borrow it.Besides, the handsome and tall appearance of the visitor also convinced the director to believe him.He also sat on the chair next to the director and chatted for a while.It looks a lot like waiting for a MP.After a while, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old walked in and reported to the fat man that he was coming. That young man is the one waiting for you at the gate of the bank, right?asked the professional. I think so.The director said he thought the young man was the fat man's secretary or something.Later, those two people walked away, and the director thought they were going to the reception room.Since then, I haven't seen the fat man come back.The director also said that he always thought he was talking in the reception room. This is the conspiracy of the three.The lawyer explained that there were three people in total, the fat man pretending to be the executive director of Dashan, the person who claimed to be Horiguchi, and the young man who led the way.Borrow the bank's reception room to implement the golden cicada's plan to escape the shell.A check fraudster through and through. Have you already investigated the situation of Representative Iwao?The manager asked Lawyer Senuma. I called and asked, and it is said that I went back to the constituency of Nagano Prefecture a week ago.This case probably has nothing to do with Mr. Iwao.It's just using his business card.Just sent a quick letter to ask. I thought so too.The manager nodded and said, "However, it's too unreasonable to be willing to lend the reception room to a stranger with just a business card."Because of this, the fraud occurred in broad daylight.Banks are also inseparable. The manager finally became angry, and his eyes were still fixed on Guan Ye. Let me tell you the story of your meeting with Horiguchi from the beginning. good.I heard about this guy from Kitaro Yamasugi.I think you must remember that in the past we had urgent needs, and we borrowed cash from Shanshan three or four times. As Kanno said so, the manager's eyes also showed that he still remembered this incident. Kitaro Yamasugi is the manager of Yamasugi Trading Company, the office is located in Azabu, and the scope of business is the financial industry.In fact, it is usury.The ability to accommodate large sums of cash is one of the few in Tokyo.As Guan Ye said, the company had gone to raise funds three times before.Of course the manager knew. In order to raise funds this time, after much deliberation, I decided to go to Shanshan.This was decided after discussing with the executive director. The executive director looked at Guan Ye with an uncomfortable expression. So I called and asked Kitaro Yamasugi.But when Shan Shan heard about the amount, he thought it was too large, saying that he was unable to turn around at the moment, so he once refused. What does once mean?the manager asked. Later, Shanshan said on the phone that since it was urgently needed, he would discuss it with others.If you agree, let me go.Forty minutes later, I went there myself.But Shanshan is not in the office when he is out, but his female secretary is. female secretary? I don't know if she is called a secretary in name, but she is in charge of such things, a young woman named Uesaki.Because in the past three times, that woman worked like Kitaro Yamasugi's secretary, so I knew her.As soon as Uezaki saw me, he said that the manager, Yamasugi, had mentioned my matter to her. She introduced Horiguchi to you, didn't she? Nor can it be said to be an introduction.Horiguchi often visits their office.Working as a broker in the financial world, I have won two or three deals for others in the past, and they all ended up being negotiated.Therefore, if we are in urgent need, we might as well talk to him.Uesaki, the female secretary, relayed Yamasugi's message to me.So I asked her if Horiguchi was a reliable person, and the female secretary replied that she didn't know, but the previous few transactions were also very large, and they were all done.I rushed back immediately to report to the managing director.The professional's opinion is that the money will be needed urgently tomorrow, so we can talk about it anyway, and I also thought the same way at the time.In a hurry, even if it is a straw, I have to grab it.I called Shanshan Commercial Company for the second time, and the female secretary answered, she said to contact the other party.After five o'clock, a notice came, saying that Horiguchi hoped to have an interview in the first-class and second-class waiting rooms of Tokyo Station around eight ten that night.對方的標誌是在桌子上放一本經濟雜誌。 這話也是女秘書說的嗎？ Yes.後來我把情況轉告專務，磋商了一下。專務的意見是先去見一下面。我也想，錢是非要不可的，所以就到東京站去了。 關野德一郎一邊說，一邊想起當時自己是怎樣的心煩意亂。他把副科長萩崎龍雄帶到東京車站，無非是想藉此排遣心中的不安。因為事關公司的機密，所以中間就打發萩崎回家了。他漠然地覺得，要是叫萩崎一直陪著自己，這事也許能防患於未然。總而言之，當時自己一個人未免太浮躁了。 and after?經理目光炯炯地催他往下說。
