18:36, General Hotel, sauna room.

In a closed room, faint steam was constantly floating. A rather delicate and beautiful woman was giving a body massage to a naked, somewhat obese man on the stage. The high temperature in the room had made the woman sweat profusely.

And because of her thin body, the woman couldn't help but need more strength on her hands to press the fat man's flesh.

Kamesaburo lay on the bed covered with towels and felt extremely comfortable. Before every weekend, it was his habit to enjoy a massage and end his busy work. Today, he needed to raise funds for overseas acquisitions.

The first part of the foreign exchange, totaling approximately 40.35 million U.S. dollars, has arrived.

A big stone in my heart has fallen to the ground. How can I stop relaxing at this moment? Starting from 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Kamesaburo has turned off his mobile phone and walked into the hotel club to relax and relieve himself from being nervous for a long time.

nerve.

"Stronger." Kamesaburo lay on the bed and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes...yes." The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, adjusted her standing posture, took a slight breath, and pinched the back of the chairman in front of her harder.

At this time, in the room, a TV screen was turned on, showing news reports. However, the entire TV was muted. You could only see the female host speaking in the live broadcast room, but could not hear the content of her words.

After a while, the screen cut to a skyscraper. The hall in the building was already crowded with people carrying suitcases, and from time to time someone walked out of the lobby with angry expressions on their faces.

Kamesaburo raised his eyes leisurely, and when he saw the picture of people gathering in the news, he was quite curious, and he couldn't help but stare at it for a little longer. However, just after taking another look, Kamesaburo frowned slightly,

He felt that the building in this picture seemed somewhat familiar. His mind kept searching for this familiar building scene, and the next moment, the chairman shuddered violently.

He recognized it!

This is the Akagi Hotel branch in Chiyoda Ward!

how?!

What happened?!

Kamesaburo's face twitched, he suddenly sat up from the bed, and said to the woman next to him, "Quickly turn up the sound on the TV!"

The woman trembled and immediately ran to the cabinet in the room, pulled out the drawer, and rummaged through things.

"Hurry up!" Kamesaburo patted the edge of the bed and urged impatiently.

Perhaps it was because no one had been watching TV in this kind of room for so long that the remote control was no longer known where to put it. After the woman rummaged through it for a while, she found the remote control from a small drawer, and then

She immediately pressed the volume increase button.

In an instant, the female news host's voice echoed in the empty sauna room:

"Starting from about 4 o'clock this afternoon, all branches of Akagi Hotel in Tokyo have been unable to refund their hotel deposits. As a result, a large number of guests were unable to check out smoothly. Since today is the peak holiday occupancy period of Christmas, we cannot

Fewer guests came to check in, and they were unable to check into the hotel because the previous batch of guests failed to check out. Currently, this strange problem has occurred in various branches, including the newly built General Hotel. Many guests

Everyone gathered at the scene and cursed the hotel loudly.

"Wait. Now the latest news is coming." The hostess said while looking at the camera.

Immediately, the camera cut to the scene of a building, and the picture of the news broadcast room was reduced to the lower right corner. Only the scene picture was seen, there were several angry curses, two security guards and the guests who were checking out were pushing each other, and both sides waved.

He picked up his fist and hit the door mercilessly directly, and then a police figure immediately stepped forward, hugged the bodies of both parties, and pulled them apart forcefully.

The voice of the female host rang out, "At the Chiyoda Ward branch of the Akagi Hotel Group, some guests have had fierce conflicts with the hotel security. At the same time, we have noticed that on the online forum, there are dissatisfied guests of the Akagi Hotel.

Launched an online signature campaign to boycott the Akagi Hotel."

Kamesaburo was completely stunned when he saw the news in front of him. His whole face was twitching, as if he was shocked because he saw something impossible. What on earth... what went wrong? Just now, that female anchor

Does it mean that the hotel deposit cannot be refunded? How is this possible?! The system of the Akagi Hotel Group has just been upgraded this year, and it can be connected to the bank’s payment interface in real time. How could there be a problem?!

Cell phone! My cell phone!

Kamesaburo didn't care that he was only wrapped in a towel, jumped up from the bed, and turned on the mobile phone placed in the basket not far away. The moment the screen lit up and turned on, the mobile phone was stuck for nearly 20 seconds, and then

There were a total of 809 missed calls.

Looking at the numerous missed calls, Kamesaburo's hands trembled. He had no idea what was wrong with the hotel.

The next second, the caller ID appeared on the phone again.

It was the phone number from Legal Director Watanabe.

Kamesaburo immediately swiped the phone screen and picked up the phone. Before the person on the other end could speak, the chairman immediately said, "What's going on? I saw the news. Why can't the hotel deposit be refunded? What happened? If the technology department

If there is a problem, we will replace their entire guest room system directly!”

"No, Chairman!" Watanabe's voice in the microphone sounded urgent, "It's not that there is a problem with the guest room system. It's that our bank account has been frozen by the judicial authorities. It's the case of the green stadium suing our load-bearing columns. Today in Tokyo

The High Court issued a litigation preservation ruling and directly froze our bank account. Mizuho Bank didn’t even say hello to us, it’s a waste that we brought them so much business!”

"And...and..." Watanabe continued anxiously, "The account that was frozen happened to be the account we used to receive foreign exchange from overseas purchases. Just five minutes before the account was frozen, more than 40 million U.S. dollars arrived.

The account was settled and frozen together. The whole thing happened so quickly that we initially mistakenly thought that there was a problem with the hotel's guest room system. Only after the engineer found out that there was an abnormality in the bank account did we realize that it had been seized by the judicial authorities.

Now. The tribunal is off duty, our account has been completely frozen, and there is nothing we can do."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the microphone, Watanabe's voice already sounded a little desperate.

Kamesaburo was holding the phone in his hand, his mouth could not stop opening, and his somewhat fat body was shaking constantly. The more than 40 million U.S. dollars for overseas acquisitions were also frozen together. The gentleman's U.S. dollars were also frozen.

It’s over, it’s over! It’s really over now!

Why is it happening like that!!

Kamesaburo suddenly became devastated, as if he didn't expect that things would unfold in such a way, and his whole face turned pale.

…

…

…

8:57 pm, Chairman’s Office.

There were several figures sitting in the room, including Kamesaburo, Ikegami, Imanishi, Legal Director Watanabe, and Fumimon and Machiko. The atmosphere in the office was very solemn, and a mountain of pressure seemed to be pouring down on everyone in the room.

At this moment, everyone has learned that the bank account of the Akagi Hotel has been frozen, but their eyes are all staring at the fax machine in the room.

"Did they call first?"

"Yes, Chairman." Watanabe looked at Kamesaburo, "They have already drafted the "Settlement Agreement." They are obviously prepared. We must deal with it carefully."

With a "beep" sound, the button of the fax machine next to the desk suddenly lit up, as if it was receiving some signal. The next second, the A4 paper in the bottom paper box was sucked into the machine, and only the ink cartridges of the internal machine could be heard.

Under the push of the machine's rotating shaft, the sound of printing continued. The A4 paper that was rolled into the machine was then spit out. A piece of paper with the "Settlement Agreement" printed on the header was slowly emerging from the fax machine.

Again and again, the sound of the fax machine sounded particularly harsh in the quiet office.

Kamesaburo's hands couldn't help but press his knees tightly, and his brows were already trembling slightly.

It seemed that it took an extremely long time for the "Settlement Agreement" to be completely printed.

Only a few Chinese characters can be seen vaguely at the end of the paper:

"Plaintiff: Masahiko Takai".

"Plaintiff's attorney: Kitahara Yiichi".

At the moment the fax was completed, there seemed to be auditory hallucinations in the office of the General Hotel. The cold winter wind blew through the cracks in the windows, making a "woo, woo" sound, which seemed to be faintly echoing in the Christmas night sky.

The male plaintiff's lawyer's somewhat manic laughter floated into the chairman's office.
Chapter completed!
