Chapter 397 Kowtow to me! Owada!
  After thinking deeply, Hibiya Hibiki said hesitantly: "Because "Naruto" is a very extreme manga, right?"

Naomi Nagase was surprised and said: "Extreme?"

"Well," Hibiki Higashino held his chin and said with a smile, "the characters in it are all very emotional. These rich emotions collide with each other, creating a very tense plot. It will be unforgettable for me for a long time."

He thought of Zabuza and Haku, Naruto and Sasuke, Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen...

They are all extremely twisted, which is rare in other comics.

"Just like that?"

"What else is there?"

"I thought the teacher's favorite comics were..." Naomi Nagase opened her hands and shouted exaggeratedly, "Works with artistic value, profound thoughts, humanistic care, etc. at their core!"

Hibiki Higashino shook his head slightly, "The first point of comics is that they are interesting."

……

Thursday.

Kitamoto asked at the cashier: "How much does "Weekly Youth Jump" cost?"

"320 yen..." The waiter looked up and was pleasantly surprised when he saw Kitamoto, "It's lawyer Kitamoto!"

Kitamoto smiled and nodded, "Well, good morning, Yucheng-kun."

"At this time..." Yucheng looked at the clock on the wall, "Shouldn't you be at work?"

He is a client of Kitamoto. He used to work on a construction site and his right hand was disabled due to an accident. Thanks to Kitamoto, he got sufficient compensation.

So I am very grateful to Kitamoto.

"Of course I'm asking for leave." Kitamoto gave a thumbs up.

"Huh? Lawyer Kitamoto is so serious and responsible, I thought you were a workaholic."

"I also have hobbies." Kitamoto said, "For example, this comic magazine."

"Oh! I'm sorry," Yucheng then remembered work. After scanning the barcode, he took out his wallet and took out 320 yen, ready to put it in the cashier.

Kitamoto looked at his right hand, "Why do I ask you to pay? Please keep it."

He handed over 320 yen, and Yucheng reluctantly accepted it.

……

After leaving the supermarket, Kitamoto was in a good mood.

No matter what the firm looks like, it is enough for him to be satisfied if he can achieve his own value.

He is not Naoki Hansawa, with such great ambitions.

Don't follow the crowd, just be yourself and that's it.

When Kitamoto returned home, his wife and children worked and went to school.

The room that used to feel small to him now felt eerily empty.

The home he used to be familiar with now feels strange.

"Forget it, let's read comics."

Kitamoto started reading "Naoki Hansawa", a comic that made him take time off to read.

Hibiki Hibiki's sins have made him, an excellent employee who has never been late, now learn to be lazy.

……

At the bank board meeting, Naoki Hansawa bluntly stated that Owada was trying to make the Tokyo Central Bank look bad in the Financial Services Agency's inspection by using the 120 billion yen loss caused by Hane's special staff, thereby forcing the president to resign.

Owada denies all claims.

Hansawa Naoki also proposed that Yamada lend 3000 million yen to his wife through Tamiya Electric.

Unable to produce evidence, Banzawa fell into a disadvantage due to Owada's clever arguments.

If he cannot fight back, he will become someone who slanders his superiors.

Just before the verdict was handed down, Naoki Hansawa produced a piece of evidence.

It is the capital flow data of Owada Wife Co., Ltd. Lafitte.

Owada's wife is not good at running a business. Not only is the company unprofitable, it also has a debt of 1000 million yen.

After that, she failed to revive her business and used loans to finance her loans, unknowingly owing a debt of [-] million yen.

Owada, the bright-looking executive, has a negative account balance!

The house is marked as mortgage, and the debt is still 5000 million yen!

Kitamoto almost sympathized with Owada. This elite who turned his hands to make rain, turned out to be so pitiful behind the scenes.

"Owada is too miserable, hahahaha."

He couldn't help laughing.

Naoki Motosawa's hearty counterattack caused an uproar on the scene. Owada's carefully decorated shell was shattered, and everyone discovered his unbearable current situation.

This made Owada break his guard. He stood up, slapped the table, glared, and shouted loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Readers just want to laugh when they see it.

"Poor Owada."

……

After poking through Owada, Hansawa Naoki did not pursue, but looked at the directors present.

"Dear directors, you have been around this table, trying to make black things white through sophistry. That's why the Tokyo Central Bank has become like this!"

Hanzawa Naoki started a group. Kitamoto originally thought that this episode would be a two-person show between Hanzawa and Owada, but it turned out that Hanzawa Naoki's target was all the directors.

In the hands of these people, banks have become organizations that only think about how to make profits for themselves.

Abandoning the weak, no one wants to take responsibility, and intrigues for the sake of factional fighting.

In such an environment, subordinates are submissive and dare not express their opinions.

People and businesses in need cannot get help, and the value of banks is lost.

Hansawa Naoki was heartbroken and "angrily denounced the ministers".

He spoke his mind heartily and vented all the anger he had accumulated since childhood.

He spoke clearly about the bank's ambitions and concepts.

"This is the goal Banze has been striving for!"

Kitamoto was shocked.

After graduating, Hansawa Naoki entered the bank where his enemy worked. He did not fall under the huge pressure of 5 million bad debts. He actively worked to revive the Iseshima Hotel, survived the crisis of the Financial Services Agency's inspection, and exposed Owada's irregularities...

All of this is for today, to expose the cold banking status quo and expose it to the sun.

Compared to this, the enemy Owada is nothing.

"I'm too persistent." Kitamoto smiled and shook his head slightly, "The most important part of "Hansawa Naoki" is here. The core point of the comic is the meaning of human beings, which is a satire on the current situation of the Japanese workplace."

Bosses dare not take responsibility, subordinates avoid them, and an indifferent workplace is the current situation in Japan.

There is no vitality, a pool of stagnant water, and the work is done mechanically. Even as a lawyer, Kitamoto feels the same way.

Everyone is doing their own work, and they don't dare to interfere in other people's affairs. The office runs like a code, always making little jokes.

Owada's confidant Kishikawa was informed by Naoki Hansawa that his son-in-law was Kurosaki, and he betrayed Owada at the meeting.

He admitted Owada’s illegal operations one by one.

"The bigger reason is probably Owada's way of doing things. Owada uses monetary value to judge the future of his subordinates. When the losses are greater than the value, the subordinates who work for him will be coldly abandoned."

"The Owada gecko clings to life. Kishikawa's 'tail' knows Owada well enough. He understands that Owada has been using him and cannot harm his daughter's interests for the sake of Owada's interests."

"This is something Naoki Hansawa knows very well, so he is confident and knows that this situation will definitely happen."

Kitamoto breathed a sigh of relief.

The last chapter of "Hansawa Naoki" was so exciting that he analyzed it in detail. He read slower and slower, and couldn't bear to turn to the end. Every expression of the characters in the comic and every punctuation in the dialogue box seem to be interesting and worthy of careful appreciation.

Owada was completely defeated. Will he remember the day Banzawa knelt down and kowtowed to him?

All the directors were silent, and the people of the Owada faction silently accepted it.

Owada gasped, looking pained.

everything is over.

"It's not over yet," Hansawa Naoki walked up to Owada and raised the corner of his mouth, "General Manager Owada, have you not forgotten the agreement you made with me?"

"What? Promise!" Beimoto blinked, his scalp suddenly numb with excitement.

He remembered the agreement between Banze and Owada. If Owada was behind the scenes, he would kowtow to Banze!

Hansawa Naoki has not changed, he is still as determined as before.

A tooth for a tooth, double the return!
  Banze was resolute. The minister and the president wanted to be peacemakers, but he rejected them.

"No, this can't end!" Banze looked directly at Owada, his lips trembling, his facial muscles tensed, but tears continued to fall.

"Those with their faces on the ground, hugging your legs, being belittled by you, despised by you, but still trying their best. For the family, for the company, to protect everything they cherish..."

His mouth was open, his expression control collapsed, and he still barely maintained his accusation.

"I want you to experience how painful, angry and unwilling those people who have been kowtowing to you are!"

"Please kowtow..."

Owada's lips trembled.

Hansawa Naoki's emotion finally reached its peak, his eyes were splitting, and he roared loudly:

"Kowtow to me! Owada!"

This hoarse roar, countless huge exclamation marks, and the emotions contained in the comic completely hit Kitamoto's heart.

He clutched his chest and gasped violently.

This kind of emotion, layer upon layer of contrast, was shocking, exciting, and made him... so happy!
  Owada looked around blankly, and finally focused on Banzawa.

His expression was distorted and painful, he seemed to be crying and laughing, his fists were clenched, and his body was subconsciously tense.

Finally, he knelt down in front of Banze and kowtowed!

……

This is the most obvious picture of success in defeating the superior. The second-in-command of the bank knelt down in front of Banze, the mere deputy chief.

But the feeling it brings to the readers is beyond the ordinary.

This is Naoki Hansawa's emotion of adhering to his principles, his emotion of completing his revenge, his excitement of successfully displaying his ambition, and finally...

This realization of Owada represents the excitement of surrender.

Hansawa Naoki left peacefully, and the comic here turned from waves to calm.

All the wild waves remain in the reader's chest and will be unforgettable for a long time.

The blank space after the climax is the most evocative.

Kitamoto did not read the follow-up immediately. He closed the "Weekly Youth Jump" and closed his eyes to calm down.

……

"I'm so unhappy. Owada was not fired, just demoted to director."

"The president is trying to be a dog. It is not difficult for Owada to transfer from outside. But there will be a second and third Owada. In the end, the factional struggle will never end. The president's win over the Owada faction is a sign of maturity."

"But as a result, Owada is still beautiful because of Banzawa's foreign policy. How ironic."

"There's nothing we can do about it, that's the reality."

The final plot of "Hansawa Naoki" leaves readers a little confused.

"Isn't "Naoki Hansawa" a commercial comic? Then pursue pleasure to the end!"

"It's this kind of plot that everyone will like. It's based on reality. There's nothing we can do about it."

They were making noises and making noises.

Miura has some thoughts on this.

He will not ridicule young readers who are dissatisfied that justice has not been fully done. It is because of these people that society has not become a backwater.

He wouldn't be unhappy with the final plot of "Naoki Hansawa" either, because it's very realistic.

It would be false and boring if Hanzawa was promoted and became a hero of the Tokyo Central Bank, and then rose to prominence.

The work must be based on realistic considerations. Being detached from reality will make Miura lose his sense of substitution.

Hanzawa was very happy at the board meeting. He expressed his thoughts and scolded each director bloody. He even ignored the president's plea and strongly demanded that Yamada Dodo step down.

The board of directors is saddened by the death of a rabbit, and Owada's subordinates will be angry. In order to protect Banze, the president made the decision to transfer Banze.

He didn't kill the donkey, but let Banze avoid the limelight.

Everything is perfect in one degree.

"As expected of the president, and as expected of Teacher Tori Akino."

"only……"

There is something strange about Miura. He likes "Naoki Hansawa", and he also loves Yaji Karasu, so he searched for information about Mirai Tori Akino.

Although this person is 30 years old, he has been drawing comics since he was in school and has never officially entered society.

You will not experience the ups and downs of the workplace.

"Where did the insights in "Hansawa Naoki" come from?"

"very strange."

……

"Congratulations, Higashino-kun, "Naoki Hansawa" has come to a perfect ending."

"Thank you for your continued help, Yoshii-kun."

Yoshii Sanhisa congratulated, Higashino Hibiki smiled and thanked him.

He had watched "Hansawa Naoki" before, but "Hansawa Naoki" was so fast-paced that he couldn't remember the plot of "Hansawa Naoki" one by one, let alone those difficult banking terms.

The success of "Naoki Hansawa" is thanks to the help of Yoshii Yamahisa.

"I didn't." Yoshii Sanjiu glanced out the window. The crews were working hard. No one paid attention to him, so he calmly made the call. "It's all because of your efforts."

"No," Hibiki Higashino said seriously, "Some of the plots of "Hanzawa Naoki" are based on the relevant deeds you told me. Without you, it would be difficult for me to understand the situation of the bank. "Hanzawa Naoki" "Naoki" just floats on the surface and cannot go deep."

"Is there any?" Yoshii Sanjiu asked in confusion.

He scratched his hair. He did say something about what he knew, but it shouldn't be important, right?

Those were very common things, just treated as topics for casual conversation.

"Yes!" Dongye Xiang was determined.

"is it?"

"Yes!"

"Oh." Yoshii Sanjiu nodded, "That's right."

After Hibiki Higashino finished "Naoki Hansawa", he finally had some free time.

He was only responsible for the storyboarding of "Dream Eaters", while Akimi Akimiya was responsible for the painting.

Akimiya Akemi felt sorry for Hibiki Hibiki who had worked hard for too long. She had an assistant to help her, so she didn't let Hibiki help and gave him a holiday.

With his free time, Hibiki Higashino began to appear on programs to promote TV series.

The host asked: "Teacher Akino Tori, where did the inspiration for your painting "Naoki Hansawa" come from?"

"He's my friend in the banking industry!" Hibiki Higashikata's tone left no room for doubt.
