Chapter 234 Pain in the Workplace

Masaru Maruyama returned home with his briefcase under his arm. Recently, a new product was launched and he was so busy that he had to go drinking with his boss at night. I was really angry. Why can't that old guy die immediately?

But then I thought about it, there were times when he asked his subordinates to sit with him. When his subordinates held a wine glass and smiled flatteringly in front of him, he seemed not to have considered the other person's mood. Hey, maybe those guys are also secretly cursing themselves inwardly.

Maruyama Masa also smiled wryly, but what can I do? No matter how much he was cursed by his subordinates and died in a car accident, or choked to death by vomit when he was drunk, he would still be in good shape.

In the same way, no matter how much I curse those old men with higher positions than myself, they are still in high spirits and live better day by day.

Yes, with such a high annual salary, you can leave all the hard work to your subordinates, and you can also send interns to mow the lawn in your own yard. When you are in a bad mood, you can even get angry at your subordinates... The Japanese workplace is very good for those who have already made it through. For the elderly, it is heaven. If you live such a life, it would be strange if you don’t live long.

But for young people and middle-aged people, it's completely different. Japan's social atmosphere is oppressive, and it is even more suffocating in the workplace. In many cases, it can even destroy people's minds. Japan's suicide rate is increasing day by day, and these workplace bosses have played no small role in it.

When Maruyama Masaya was young, he also hated these bad workplace habits, and even secretly wrote some anonymous complaint letters to some higher-level leaders, but without exception, nothing happened. Instead, his boss got the news that someone had complained about him, and he punished his subordinates. More cruel.

And now that she is middle-aged, Masaru Maruyama is gradually assimilated by the environment. There's no way it's going to happen, and no one seems to be immune.

Speaking of the workplace... Maruyama Masaya suddenly remembered the workplace drama that was about to be broadcast on Fukuyama Station. It seemed to be called Banzawa or something... Hey, how could anyone directly use a person's name as the title of the drama? It's so tacky.

What kind of genius writer, genius screenwriter, that's all...

The trailer seems to tell the story of the banking industry. Originally, the company planned to invest and sponsor the drama, but in the end Masaru Maruyama made the decision to cancel the sponsorship and instead invested in the new drama of Fanxingtai.

Maruyama Masaya also believes that his judgment is correct. Although the September 9th time slot has recently achieved astonishing ratings, the types of works that Kei Fujiwara is good at are relatively fixed, either mystery themes or women's dramas. First of all, he writes workplace stories... How can a person who has never been in the workplace or worked in a bank do so? Can you write well?

What's more, their company's product is kitchenware, and most of the consumers of kitchenware are housewives. This workplace drama is purely a men's drama, so women certainly don't like to watch it.

Speaking of which, it seems that a condiment company invested in this show? Hey, aren’t condiments also bought by women? This is a bad idea.

But thinking of this, he became interested. I looked up at the clock and saw it was eight-fifty, so I turned on the TV and tuned it to Fukuyama Channel.

…

“It was my childhood dream to work at the Industrial Central Bank.”

As soon as the picture appeared, a man's face appeared on the screen, it was Miyata Takaharu.

The tone of the picture seems a bit heavy, telling the audience from the beginning that this is a more serious work.

Young Hansawa Naoki participated in an interview with the Industrial Central Bank and said that his family was a small manufacturer and was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was the Industrial Central Bank that saved his family. In order to repay his kindness, he would devote the rest of his life to the Industrial Central Bank.

Naoki Hansawa successfully joined the company. After joining the company, he met his friends Mari Watari and Kondo, and expressed his ambition: he wanted to climb up and do what he wanted to do.

This seems to be a foreshadowing, and judging from Hansawa Naoki's expression, it seems that this is not a simple person.

Many years later, Banze was promoted to section chief, handling loan matters.

It is their mission to find potential businesses and provide them with loans. Under the instruction of the branch president, everyone came to a company called Nishi-Osaka Steel to handle business.

As soon as he arrived at this company, Banzawa noticed something strange. The whole company was filled with a disorganized atmosphere, and the president of Nishi-Osaka Steel also ignored them and had a bad attitude.

Banze believed that this company was not a high-quality company and was not suitable for loans. However, the branch manager was eager to complete the loan business quota and made a private decision, agreeing to a loan of 500 million yen, and patted his chest and said that he would take full responsibility.

When he saw this, Maruyama Masaru couldn't help but sneered, could he still believe such words? Banze finally relaxed his attitude and did not pursue the matter.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the loan to run into problems.

Nishi-Osaka Steel Bank, which originally borrowed the loan, ran a deficit in less than two months and may no longer be able to repay the loan.

After investigation, Banze also discovered that Xigang was suspected of falsifying accounts, but at that time the branch manager only focused on completing the targets and ignored the risks behind it.

The president of Xigang put on a helpless face and refused to admit the false accounts, so he naturally refused to pay back the money. As expected, the branch president put all the blame on Banze.

In the bank, one mistake can lead to a lifetime of indifference. Once all the responsibility of the 500 million falls on Banze, Banze's life will fall to the bottom. So Banze swore in front of the branch president that he would get the 500 million back, but by then, the branch president would have to kneel down and admit his mistake.

But how to recover the 500 million? With the help of his friends, Banze finally found the whereabouts of some of the hidden money of President Xigang through some confusing clues.

Masaru Maruyama was so stunned that he didn't even go to the toilet until the end of the one-and-a-half-hour first episode.

I have to admit that the plot of this drama is very exciting and interlocking, giving the audience no chance to breathe. Not only that, this drama has the magic power to touch people's hearts. Some of the lines in it may not make sense to the inexperienced, but people like him who have been in the workplace for many years will be inexplicably touched when they hear it.

"Once you make a mistake, you will be ignored forever."

"The credit of the subordinates is the credit of the boss, and the mistakes of the boss are the responsibility of the subordinates."

“A bank is a place where you can borrow an umbrella on a sunny day and take away an umbrella on a rainy day.”

It must be said that although these lines are short, they are like scalpels, cold and precise, and they penetrate directly into some hidden places in society...or what we call lesions.

Presumably, I am not the only one who can relate to this drama.

This hour and a half passed quite happily... Maruyama Masaru also poured himself a glass of water. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he was startled, and his face became a little ugly.

He remembered that he had withdrawn his capital and canceled his sponsorship.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter... Even if the ratings of this drama are good, its audience is not the main target group of our products. So it doesn't matter. After all, the advertising fees for this show are indeed very high.

Is it possible that it can be in the top ten in history like "Homeless Child", haha...
