The next day, 10:13 am.

Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Building.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly is the regional parliamentary organ of the most prosperous economic zone in Japan. All local laws in Tokyo are enacted and gazetted by this organ. Although it is not the highest-level parliamentary organ like the National Assembly. However, the Tokyo area serves as

In the heart of Japan, the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly is far more important than ordinary local legislative bodies.

On the 5th floor of the parliament building, special access.

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion wearing a suit was standing alone in the aisle, raising his hand to look at his watch from time to time. He was none other than Ishiwatari, the deputy director of the Shinjuku District Development Committee, and the Shinjuku District High-tech Industrial Park.

Project promoter.

Ishiwatari frowned slightly, obviously not looking relaxed. Under normal circumstances, he would not come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly building. Because he belongs to the Development Committee of Shinjuku City. Even if he wants to go to the parliamentary office, he usually goes to Shinjuku.

District Council of the district.

However, the reason why he is here is because he was summoned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.

Being summoned by a higher-level council is not a good thing.

Because it means being questioned.

The so-called inquiry means that the parliament has questions about a certain public project and requires the person in charge of the project or relevant persons to go to the parliament to accept questions from members and specific persons and provide answers.

This process is certainly not friendly.

The so-called inquiry is usually accompanied by extremely violent criticism.

The opposition usually shows off its skills in questioning, and is keen to make the person being questioned completely unable to stand down.

Shidu raised his hand again and glanced at his watch.

The glass on the watch reflects the face of the deputy director of the Development Committee. The hands are moving slowly with a small gear sound. The time has reached 10:23. The questioning procedure against him will be at 10:40

Minutes start. 17 minutes left.

The reason why Ishiwatari came to answer questions today is because of the many budget expenditure issues related to Shinjuku City. In particular, many public works issues. The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly has received many anonymous complaints and materials, reflecting that in recent years, Shinjuku City has begun to experience excessive public expenditures.

Expenditure and construction projects are unnecessary, resulting in waste.

For example, in preparation for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, the Shinjuku City City Hall plowed and renovated all the vegetation on the main roads in the district. However, the renovated vegetation did not look as good as before, and due to the re-implantation, the entire vegetation belt showed a withered yellow color.

At the same time, in order to cover up some houses that were in disrepair, Shinjuku City actually built curtain walls on the corresponding viaducts to block the view.

These projects are regarded as wasteful by the public.

The opposition is making a fuss.

However, Ishiwatari did not care about these problems. Indeed, during his tenure, Shinjuku District's public expenditures increased sharply and many public projects were built. However, it was also during his tenure that Shinjuku District's GDP grew at the fastest rate.

The house is demolished and another house is built. Although there is still only one house, it has the GDP of two houses. Regardless of the essence, statistically speaking, Shinjuku City's economic data is the best.

This is where Ishiwatari's confidence lies.

However, it would be a lie to say that I am not worried at all.

What worries Ishiwatari is the high-tech industrial park project in Shinjuku City.

This project is Shinjuku City’s signature project.

It is his greatest achievement.

There is absolutely no room for error.

Previously, Shidu knew that some suppliers in the high-tech industrial park project were dissatisfied with the results of the city hall's bidding and were planning to seek legal action. Ishidu had warned these suppliers overtly and covertly through the city hall. If he dared to file legal action

, will inevitably suffer the most brutal revenge.

The representative of those aggrieved suppliers seems to be a man named Hamanaka.

Ishiwatari can't remember his name a little bit.

After all, the name of the president of such a small-scale club was not worth remembering.

He heard that Hamanaka had visited several law firms one after another, but they all rejected him. This is natural. No law firm would want to offend the city hall, especially for these small businesses. It is not worth it at all.

.With a little weighing, any adult will make the right choice.

However, Ishiwatari felt something was troubling. Some opponents were making a big fuss.

I originally wanted to take advantage of this project and be transferred back to the Cabinet Office, or to be the Secretary of the National Assembly.

However, these opposition parties are hyping up. The companies settled in the high-tech park are not genuine high-tech companies. There are irregularities in the land procedures in the park. The subsidy policy is suspected of violating the law. The land in the park is rented out at low prices.

Municipal assets, the city hall is suspected of forcing the task of building public facilities in the park without compensation, etc.

There is no doubt that these hypes may affect his return to the cabinet office.

Therefore, Shidu will never allow mistakes.

It must be passed safely.

At this moment, the inquiry process on a certain matter is still going on in the parliament hall. It is said that it is related to the failure of a hospital in Tokyo to protect itself, which may lead to nosocomial infection. The relevant hospital director and personnel from the local health agency are being questioned.

From time to time, you can hear loud and fierce criticism from members of Congress and submissive responses from those being questioned.

Waiting is boring.

The wait is long.

However, no matter how long it takes, there will be a moment when the wait ends.

Soon, a secretary appeared at the other end of the special passage. When he saw Ishiwatari, he immediately bowed slightly and walked over quickly, "Mr. Ishiwatari, your questioning process will begin soon.

.Please be prepared. You can enter at any time now.”

Shidu nodded slightly.

The deputy director of the Development Committee adjusted his suit again.

He used to be a member of the Cabinet Secretariat. However, he was demoted due to factional fighting and came to Shinjuku City. How unwilling he was at that time. The struggle had nothing to do with him, but in the end disaster befell him.

Sora has talents and ambitions, but nowhere to put them to use. He can only stay in a small city hall.

In the past, he had chatted and laughed with many important people.

But in the city hall, all the people I deal with are local clerks.

In the past, many big companies were eager to curry favor with him.

Now, it is those lousy suppliers who should demand money from the city hall.

The difference between before and after is huge.

Yes, so Shidu was very unwilling to do so.

Very unwilling!

He desires to climb again more than anyone else.

Today's questioning process is the first battle of his return!
Chapter completed!
