"President Hosokawa, I'm really embarrassed. Just now, Director Saito personally called and said that he was unable to come back for the time being because of an urgent matter! Look... or you should go back first. Bar!"

"Eh? Didn't you just say..."

"Ah... I'm really sorry, it was my mistake at work that caused you to delay here for so long. If you can't do it, just do it! I will confirm with him as soon as possible when the Saito manager returns. The time of your meeting, today, is really inconvenient!"

……

Hearing the other party's evasive words, Hosokawa's secretary Shiroto couldn't help but feel a little angry and wanted to scold the other party, but Hosokawa Kiyomi responded in advance to the other party:

"This time, Toshima Construction intends to go all out to participate in the bidding for the Chuo Shinkansen. If Fuji Bank intends to cooperate with Toshima Construction, please contact us as soon as possible. Although we have no precedent for cooperation before, but I believe that if your bank is willing to lend a helping hand to Toshima Construction, there will be huge rewards in the future!"

……

When Hosokawa Kiyobumi's car slowly drove out of Fuji Bank's headquarters, he raised his head and looked at the other party's imposing headquarters building, with a disappointed and tired look on his face.

Since the Tokyo Central Bank unilaterally announced the termination of cooperation, and began to seek loans from Toshima Construction. In the past few days, Hosokawa Kiyobumi has traveled to all large financial institutions in Tokyo that can meet the financing needs of Toshima's construction. Unfortunately, due to concerns about the operation of Toshima Construction, no financial institution has so far been willing to provide financing services to Toshima Construction. But after being euphemistically rejected by Fuji Bank, Hosokawa Kiyofumi's face still inevitably showed a disappointed look.

"Jiroto-kun, where are we going next?"

"President, we have already arranged lunch for you at Shishanju, we..."

"Cancel it for me, I want to go back to work first!"

Hearing that his secretary had reserved a famous tempura restaurant for him, Hosokawa Kiyofumi felt that he had no appetite. At this moment, he was still worried about the future of Toshima's construction, and he was not in the mood to enjoy any food at all.

Hosokawa Kiyobumi's car went all the way back to the Toshima Construction Headquarters in Chiyoda Ward. As soon as he returned to his office, Hosokawa Qingwen sent his secretary to the company's cafeteria to buy him a pork chop meal. Then he took out a cigarette from his drawer that he had given up for several months, and then started smoking a little lonely.

"Dong dong dong!"

Just when Hosokawa Qingwen wanted to be alone, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hosokawa Qingwen thought it was Shiroto-kun who was sent to the cafeteria to buy food for him, so he hurriedly snuffed out his cigarette, and then said loudly:

"Please come in!"

With the sound of the door opening, a subordinate who surprised Hosokawa Kiyofumi suddenly walked in cautiously.

"President, I'm really sorry, may I ask... I won't bother you!"

"Ah... it's Lian Lun-kun! What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"That... that's actually the case. I used to follow Mr. Ogizeng, but now Mr. Ogizeng is gone. My job here..."

"What's the matter, Lianlun-kun? Is there any problem?"

"Hey, I was in touch with Mr. Robert Taki of Riverbed Fund Management Co., Ltd. before, as a general manager of Xiaomu. The two sides originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to sit down and discuss the possibility of cooperation, but because of the general manager of Xiaomu once. The sudden death of , made the originally scheduled meeting impossible. So I wanted to come over and report to you, President, to see if you have any instructions!"

"Riverbed Fund?"

Hearing Ogizō Naobi's secretary Kenji Lianluan suddenly mentioned the Riverbed Fund, Hosokawa Kiyobumi couldn't help but remember when the police found him a few days ago, and he seemed to have mentioned this fund as well. At that time, the police officer in charge of investigating the case had mentioned the name of the River Plate Fund. How could Naoki Ogizo get involved with the people from the Vulture Fund?

"That... When did Mr. Xiaogizeng ask you to contact the Riverbed Fund? What did you guys talk about before?" ..

"I'm sorry, this... Actually, I don't know very well. I just remember that Mr. Ogizeng mentioned this fund before his death. Well, if it's inconvenient for you, I will politely ask the other party to cancel this meeting. It's gone!"

As soon as Kenji Lianren finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave Hosokawa Kiyobumi's office. At this moment, Hosokawa Kiyomi suddenly stopped Kenji Lianren, and then waved to him and said:

"Since it's an appointment! Don't cancel it~lightnovelpub.net~ Ask the other party if they have time tonight. If so, I'd like to meet the other party!"

"Eh? President, have you agreed to meet?"

"Um!"

"Okay, then I will truthfully convey your intentions to the other party."

While talking, Kenji Renren turned around and bowed deeply to Kiyomi Hosokawa, then gently opened the wooden door of the office. At this moment, Shiroto, who had just been sent by President Hosokawa to buy lunch for him, also came back. Seeing Kenji Renren standing in President Hosokawa's office, Shiroto couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Ah... It's Seiichi-senpai, it's been a long time, so I'll take my leave!"

Shiroto looked at Kenji Renren, who was leaving, with some confusion, with a steaming bowl of pork chop rice in his hand.

"President, this is the pork chop meal you want. Excuse me... Lian Lun-kun came to you just now, what... is he here for?"

"It seems that Naobi Ogizo made an appointment with someone from the Canal Fund to have an interview before his death. Just now, Lian Lun-kun got a reply from the other party, so he came to tell me right away."

"Canal Fund? Isn't that a notorious vulture fund? How did Mr. Ogizo get in touch with such a company before he died?"

"This is actually something that I'm suspicious of. I really don't understand why Naoki Ogizo is willing to deal with people from the Canal Fund. But now that the matter has come, I think I should go and see it!"

Hosokawa Kiyomi took the chopsticks that Shiroto handed over, first picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, then picked up the pork chop rice and ate it with a big mouthful.
