Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 238 Fighting at the Shinjuku Branch (Triple in One)

Afternoon, 15:36.

Snowflakes floated in the sky on the streets of Tokyo.On the cloverleaf overpass in Shinjuku, a black Audi is speeding on the asphalt.The driver in the driver's seat didn't seem to care about the increasingly slippery road, and stepped on the accelerator to the limit, approaching the maximum speed limit of the city road.The yellow left flashing light or right flashing light is played from time to time, and the vehicles turn left and right to shuttle through the traffic flow.

After getting off the overpass, the black Audi passed through an intersection, the red brake lights suddenly turned on, and there was a harsh friction sound from under the chassis, and two black brake marks were left on the asphalt road.The car stopped in front of a four-story building that looked like a small vault.There are several silver Chinese characters hanging on the large wall of the building - "Mizuho Bank Shinjuku Branch".

Today is Christmas, and there is a Christmas party in the staff of the Shinjuku branch in the afternoon.A Christmas tree has been erected in the center of the office hall of the employees on the second floor, surrounded by many pastries and drinks.Although it's called a party, it's actually just some snacks and drinks, just like afternoon tea, for employees to take a break and taste temporarily.But even so, it is rare to enjoy a short leisure time in the busy work. Many employees gather around the hall, holding snacks and chatting with each other.

"Kuang, kuang, kuang." A piercing sound of leather shoes came from the stairs on the second floor, which obviously didn't fit the atmosphere of the party.

A rather ferocious man appeared from the stairs, with a fierce expression on his face, walking in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to accomplish.And behind this man, followed by a young man, wearing a balance sunflower badge on the chest of his suit.

The surrounding employees recognized that the leading man was Shimada, the vice president of the sub-branch, and couldn't help but backed up a few steps, avoiding one after another, and whispered:

"Isn't that the vice president? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Have you heard? He will be dismissed this afternoon."

"what?"

"No way. Vice President Shimada is about to be dismissed?!"

"Is it related to the self-inspection activities carried out by the branch recently?"

"Specifically, I don't know. But it seems that he has engaged in something against the interests of our bank customers."

"Tut, tut, tut. What a pity. If you do this kind of thing, your career will be ruined."

In the long corridor on the second floor, Shimada and Kitahara walked forward continuously.Shimada has already issued an instruction to freeze the bank account of Chimu Hotel Group 458789103487 on the internal system of the bank in advance, and uploaded a scanned version of the court preservation ruling.The approval procedures have reached the final hurdle, and the director of the legal department of the Shinjuku branch needs to express his opinion and agree.It has been stuck on his side for almost two hours now.

Thinking of Yoshinaga, the director of the legal department, Shimada felt a slight headache.This Jiyong has always been an idiot, and his ability to talk nonsense when he sees people and talk nonsense when he sees people makes him flourish.Right now, he is about to be dismissed, and the bank account to be frozen is the Akagi Hotel Group, a major customer of Mizuho Bank.

This old fox will definitely look forward and backward, and procrastinate as long as he can.

"Lawyer Kitahara. Sumito Yoshinaga, director of the legal department of our branch, is a formidable opponent." Shimada turned his head to look at the lawyer behind him, "This Yoshinaga has always been very smooth. You help from the side."

Bei Yuan was holding a briefcase in his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a sly look flickered in his eyes, as if he was ready for the upcoming fight.

……

At this moment, the office of the director of the legal department of the sub-branch.Ji Yong was sitting behind the table leisurely brewing a cup of wolfberry tea, and casually clicking the mouse.The director of the legal department obviously had no interest in the Christmas party outside the office lobby, and still sat in his office by himself.

He glanced at the screen from the corner of his eye, and he had already seen the ruling of the frozen Akagi Hotel Group sent by Shimada on the system.

Jillong is not a fool. He has been rooted in the banking system for nearly [-] years, and he understands the importance of choosing to stand on the opposite side in the personnel struggle.Right now, Takamatsu of the branch has vigorously launched self-examination activities, while Shimada, the vice president of the Shinjuku branch, was picked out as a model of criticism.

In the afternoon, Shimada will be dismissed.

Before being dismissed, Shimada was so determined to apply for freezing the company's assets.

Fortunately, Yoshinaga kept his eyes open and discovered that the Akagi Hotel Group was an important customer of Mizuho Bank introduced by branch manager Takamatsu.

This makes sense.

This so-called freezing of bank accounts should be Shimada's revenge against branch manager Takamatsu.

As a person in the branch, he actually wants to challenge the authority of the branch.

I'm really overwhelmed.

Ji Yong shook his head, with a smile on his face that he was about to watch a good show.He predicted that Shimada would come to see him in the afternoon, so he had already called in advance and informed the branch manager Takamatsu.Gao Song should also be on his way to the branch at this moment.As for myself, I can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, in a safe place, enjoying the good show that is about to happen.

"Jiyong!" A sudden shout came from outside the door, interrupting the meditation of the director of the legal department.Two figures appeared at the door.One of the figures was Shimada, the vice president of the branch.Shimada strode into the office without even knocking on the door. Looking at Yoshinaga behind the desk, he said with a blunt expression:

"At two o'clock, I have already sent you the ruling on freezing the bank account of Chimu Hotel. Why haven't I issued an opinion until now!"

Yoshinaga held the vacuum flask with a calm demeanor. Seeing the menacing Shimada, he slowly stood up from his seat and pointed to the sofa in the office, "Hey, vice president, please sit down. Yes. I saw that the account to be frozen belonged to Chimu Hotel, so I became a little more cautious. Vice President, as you know, Chimu Hotel has always been a major customer of our bank."

The vice president's voices seemed to stimulate Shimada's nerves on purpose.

As if knowing that Shimada would no longer be the vice president in ten minutes or so, he intentionally emphasized his voice.

Ever since Takamatsu slapped him in the face with the information at the inspection countermeasure meeting, Shimada has been holding back a fire in his heart, and now seeing Yoshinaga putting on a posture of delaying time, he couldn't help but suddenly became angry:
"One of the requirements for the upcoming inspection of the head office is not to push back and obstruct the freezing request of the judiciary. Are you going to openly violate the bank discipline that is being repeatedly emphasized now?!"

Facing Shimada's anger, Yoshinaga still smiled and remained unmoved.Does Banking Discipline Matter?No, it's about following the right leader, which side you stand on is important.

"I think it's safer to ask the branch manager Takamatsu first. After all, he has been handling the business of Akagi Hotel Group."

This old fox really wanted to stall for time.Shimada frowned, gritted his teeth slightly.Once Takamatsu gets involved, the whole situation will become more complicated.If the bank account of Chimu Hotel Group cannot be frozen on Friday today, they will lose the initiative in this case.

"According to the bank's rules and regulations, the freezing of property does not require the consent of the superior. Yoshinaga, are you trying to delay time?!"

Shimada deliberately amplified his voice, trying to intimidate the director of the legal department in front of him.

Ji Yong still looked unaffected, but walked to the kettle in the office, took the teapot, and poured tea, "Vice President, let's have a cup of tea first."

"You!" Shimada was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.At this time, his peripheral vision scanned Ji Yong's office computer.The screen happens to be the approval interface of the system.The third column happens to be the approval opinion of the freezing ruling.As long as you press agree, the account of Chimu Hotel Group can be frozen in the system.At this moment, Shimada couldn't care about anything else, and immediately took a step forward, holding the mouse, and was about to click the agree button.

Ji Yong was holding the teacup, turned around and saw this scene, couldn't help but turn pale with shock, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and smashed to pieces with a "clang".Yoshinaga immediately flew over, grabbed Shimada's hand, and pulled hard.The calm expression of the director of the legal department had completely disappeared, leaving only panic in his eyes.

"Are you crazy! Shimada! You are already a person who is about to be dismissed, what are you doing!!!", Yoshinaga shouted hoarsely.

"Give me the approval!!!" Shimada held the mouse in the office tightly with both hands, regardless of the marks on his arm that Yoshinaga had scratched, the veins on his neck were constantly bulging, and the bloodshot eyes were already filling up. The whole person's face is like a terrifying monster with red eyes.

The little black mouse was under the tussle of two men.

Shimada's financial career depends on the click of a mouse at this moment.

In the office, the two men almost wrestled together, competing for the body of the mouse, hitting the desk from time to time, making a "bang" sound.The file bag on the table was knocked down, the chair was pushed away, and fell to the ground.The bright and beautiful suits on the two of them were also torn into a mess due to the struggle.

When the scuffle between the two was about to get out of control, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous in the bank!" A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses had stood outside the door at some point. A warrior who has been on the battlefield, his stern eyes seem to make the enemy in front of him feel terrified.

The person who came was Takamatsu, the president of the Tokyo branch of Mizuho Bank.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gao Song was glad that he came early.Thanks to Ji Yong, the director of the legal department of the Shinjuku branch, who tipped him off.Before coming, he called Kame Saburo several times to inform him that his bank account might be frozen.However, this Guisanlang didn't know what he was doing, and at this critical juncture, he couldn't get through the phone anyway, so he had to rush over here first.

With Gao Song's angry shout, the two people fighting for the mouse in the office couldn't help but stop.Shimada gasped heavily, still clutching the mouse tightly in his hand, not letting go.

"Shimada! Your current behavior has seriously violated discipline! The head office will investigate you next Monday, and I will report your current absurd behavior!" Gao Song did not expect the vice president of the branch in front of him to be so crazy. How dare you disobey the bank's power system and reach such a field.

Shimada's bangs were already a little messy, he held the mouse tightly in his hand, sat on the chair in the office, slowly raised his head, his eyes showed an incomparably fierce light

"Now I am still the vice president. I am obliged to implement the ruling issued by the judiciary! You have no right to interfere!"

Shimada's voice echoed in the office, instantly attracting the attention of many office staff.Gradually, some employees gathered at the door of the legal office and began to watch.

Hearing the vice president's direct refutation, Takamatsu's face twitched suddenly, and his eyes widened uncontrollably, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from Shimada's mouth.The temperament of Shimada in front of him seems to be different from the Shimada he met at the inspection countermeasure meeting.This...is this the same Shimada who stood there obediently and still threw the information in his face by himself? !
Inverted.

It's really the opposite!

At this moment, Ji Yong was also holding the mouse firmly beside him, and seeing that the branch manager had arrived at the office, he immediately said loudly, "Without the instructions of the Takamatsu branch manager, I will not approve this freeze!"

The more it is at this time, the more it is necessary to show the leader that you are loyal and stand in line.

Between Takamatsu and Shimada, Yoshinaga chose to bet on Takamatsu without hesitation.

Just when the situation was at a critical moment, another voice echoed in the office, "Director Yoshinaga, are you sure you want to follow the instructions of the Takamatsu branch president? As a lawyer, I don't recommend you to do this, because it is legally , there is a high risk."

Beiyuan stood in the office, holding the briefcase in his hand, showing a weird smile, and looked at Ji Yong.

This strange voice suddenly sounded, and Gao Song noticed that there was another person in the office. Seeing that he was not wearing a bank uniform or a bank nameplate, he immediately said, "Who are you! This is the internal office of the bank. Anyone who has nothing to do is waiting for me to get out!"

"Yiichi Kitahara, the plaintiff's lawyer in the case of Shimogai v. Akagi Hotel Group." The man in front of him, wearing a sunflower badge of balance, said with a slight smile, "He is also the applicant for this freezing ruling."

The lawyer standing in the office didn't have an aggressive posture, and had a pleasant expression on his face, but there was a vague aura of calmness and prestige, exuding it.

Plaintiff's attorney in Takai v. Akagi Hotel Group? !Gao Song's brows trembled a little, and he couldn't believe that the man in front of him was actually the plaintiff's lawyer in this case.Takamatsu has also paid attention to the case of Akagi Hotel Group.

He really didn't expect that this man, who only looked like he had just graduated from college a few years ago, would be a lawyer for such a big case.

Beiyuan took another step toward the director of the legal department, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned:

"Director Yoshinaga. I want you to notice that in the current approval procedures for bank frozen accounts, the consent of the superior supervisor—that is, the branch president in Tokyo is not required. If at this moment, you follow the instructions of the branch president and delay If you freeze the account, you will be the only one responsible for what happens at that time."

"Of course. You can make a note in the approval form. It was the branch president, Gao Song, who asked you to suspend the freeze. If President Gao Song is a good leader, he will definitely agree with you to make such a note in the approval form."

Kitahara's words hit Yoshinaga's eardrum one after another.

This sentence seems to be extremely bewitching, able to capture the heart and soul of the listener.

For Yoshinaga, what he fears most is taking responsibility.

Bei Yuan's words just hit his inner thoughts.

The reason why he thought of asking Gao Song for instructions was because he was afraid of taking responsibility.

Hearing what the lawyer in front of him said, Ji Yong hesitated for a moment.Yes, Takamatsu's name does not appear on the approval form.If I follow Gao Song's instructions and delay freezing the account, then if anything goes wrong, it will be my fault.

Yoshinaga's eyes kept rolling back and forth, his brain was running fast, thinking about the next strategy.

Originally, he thought he would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight in the afternoon, but unexpectedly he was the prey of the two tigers.

Yoshinaga is most afraid of this situation
How to do?
In the end how to do?
"Jin Yong! Akagi Hotel Group is a major client of our branch. You froze it rashly. Don't you know the consequences?!" Seeing that Yoshinaga was shaken by the lawyer's few words, Gao Song couldn't help but immediately stepped forward One step, and said loudly again.

Bei Yuan still stood where he was, and said with a smile, "Director Yoshinaga, please ask President Takamatsu if he would like to note his name on the approval form."

The damn lawyer!Gao Song frowned. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of some employees standing around the door, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Call the security. Unknown people in the bank broke in."

It is impossible for Takamatsu to ask Ji Yong to note his name.This kind of behavior of using power to interfere with the freezing of assets by lower-level banks, as long as a record is left, is an unclean stain in one's career.

Yoshinaga was caught between Shimada and Takamatsu at this moment, and he no longer knew what to do.Before, he thought that as long as he asked Gao Song, the branch manager, everything would be fine for him and he would be picked out.However, looking at it now, after a few touches from the lawyer, this seemingly safe move actually put him in a dangerous situation.

Do you listen to Takamatsu, or follow the rules?
Two conflicting thoughts kept intertwining and colliding in Ji Yong's mind, squeezing his mental strength to the limit.

More than 20 years of banking experience told Yoshinaga that if he wants to survive in a bank, not making mistakes is the most important thing.

This is even more important than flattering your superiors.

As if after a fierce ideological struggle, Yoshinaga still chose to speak:

"President Takamatsu. How about... why not, let's follow the rules and regulations... I will note your opinion on the approval form."

As soon as the voice came out, the office fell silent for an instant.

Gao Song's face became extremely gloomy, with a long face, just standing where he was, without speaking.

Silence already represents the attitude of the branch president.

To be silent is to refuse.

In the world of adults, many things don't need to be said too bluntly.

"Director Jiyong, look, this is the bank, and this is your superior. I will always treat you as a cover and throw it away after use." Beiyuan stepped forward and sneered, "I think what should be done next, you have already It’s clear enough. Acting in accordance with the rules is the best way to protect yourself.”

Yoshinaga's hands were already trembling slightly.Gao Song's silence made him feel abnormal.Could it be...Could it be that there are hidden secrets in today's property freeze.

Seeing that the director of the legal affairs department was shaken, Gao Song immediately stepped forward and raised his voice, as if trying to overshadow the deceptive words of the lawyer just now, and said:
"Yoshinaga. Next year, I can recommend you to the HR department to the branch's legal team! Didn't you always want to transfer to the branch? I now have three recommended places in my hand to promote the branch staff to the Tokyo branch. I promise, among them One spot will definitely be you."

This is drawing cakes.

Yoshinaga, who is well-known as an old fox, immediately sensed Takamatsu's intentions.When a person paints a cake for you, it means that you will start to suffer.

Because the other party wants to be an empty-handed white wolf.

Yoshinaga couldn't help but doubt the President Takamatsu in front of him even more.

Unknowingly, the seeds of doubt planted in Yoshinaga's heart by Kitahara's few words immediately broke through the ground and grew into a strong and towering tree.Because of the hesitation in Ji Yong's heart, the strength of holding the mouse in his hand could not help but relax a little.

"Give me the approval!" Shimada took advantage of the situation and suddenly increased his strength, pulling the mouse again.The black mouse line couldn't help shaking a little more, as if it had become a rope for tug-of-war.

Seeing this, Gao Song didn't care about his dignity as the branch manager, and immediately jumped up to snatch the mouse.He is well aware of the dire consequences if that bank account is frozen.

In the office, the head of the Tokyo branch, the vice president of the Shinjuku sub-branch, and the director of the legal department of the Shinjuku sub-branch, three people wrestled together again in an instant.

The other lawyer watched from the side with a smile on his face.

It seemed that at this moment, the three wrestlers became the lawyer's marionettes.

The employees standing outside the room were shocked when they saw this unprecedented scene.It was an unprecedented event that the branch manager in Tokyo actually got into a fight with the vice-president of the Shinjuku branch.Some female employees couldn't help screaming.Not far from the corridor, several security guards were running.

Seeing Gao Song coming to grab his own mouse, Yoshinaga's heart has already collapsed.I thought I had come up with a trick, but I didn't expect to lead the wolf into the house in the end.

Gao Song... Gao Song is the real wolf.

"Stop it! Stop it!!!" Jiyong tore his throat and kept shouting loudly.The thermos cup placed on the table was knocked off by the fierce fight between the three and fell to the ground.Goji berry tea spilled all over the office
"Stop it!!! This is my account!!!" Ji Yong, who was already in despair, pressed the mouse button in a panic.

There was a crisp mouse sound.

The interface on the computer screen flickered.

The item for which the ruling was frozen disappeared from the list of items to be approved.

The three people in the office were all stunned.

At this moment, the attention of most people in the office hall is still on the Christmas party.Not many people noticed what was going on at the end of the corridor, in the legal department's office.Some bank men and women ate snacks at the beginning, and then gradually became a little bit more fun.Some people kept shaking the champagne, and then suddenly opened the cork with a "bang".

Columns of champagne shot out.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!"

Some employees at Mizuho Bank shouted.

At exactly 16:00 in the afternoon, as the atmosphere of the Christmas party in the Shinjuku branch reached its peak, the Mizuho bank account 458789103487 under Akagi Hotel Group was officially frozen.At this moment, the bank account has received 4035 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange, and the bank account is also the room deposit refund account for the Akagi Hotel in the Tokyo area.In the hall, amidst the laughter, the bank employees did not expect a shocking earthquake to happen...
