Ishiwatari, Kitahara, Urakawa, Yuki - Shinjuku City Hall, Accounting Inspection Agency, Tokyo Asset Supervision Bureau, while acting secretly, soon the day for the second administrative ruling case hearing came.

At 8:23 a.m., the street outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

"Lawyer Kitahara, do you think we can win?" President Hamanaka said. Ever since the president asked Kitahara to take legal action against the Shinjuku City Hall, he has been under tremendous pressure. At the beginning, Hamanaka participated in the municipal government

project, a large amount of advance funding was made, and finally the Shinjuku City Hall promised that they could participate in the municipal bidding project of the high-tech industrial park and that they would repay the debt on time.

However, the final result of participating in the high-tech industrial park bidding was that they did not even get a fair review, and many projects were directly awarded to companies with nepotistic relationships with the city hall. As for the repayment of the previous advance funds, it is even more distant.

.

Nowadays, the company is on the verge of collapse, and Hamanaka invests his last money into the company to be able to pay wages. It is already... almost unsustainable.

"We will definitely win." Miyagawa answered quickly, "The law will definitely give us justice."

Miyagawa held the case file in his hand and squeezed it slightly.

She wanted to give the client confidence.

Don't back down, you must keep fighting.

Hamanaka's eyes were bloodshot, his beard was unshaven, he had obviously not shaved for a while, and his hair looked messy. In addition to the company's financial problems, he was also secretly pressured by the city hall.

President Hamanaka and the clubs involved in this legal action have all been put on the "blacklist" by the city hall.

The consequence of being on the blacklist is that they are now constantly being harassed by the city government. Firefighting, water and electricity, production safety, earthquake prevention, etc., people from the city government come to check almost every day.

If you catch the slightest mistake, you will quickly issue a ticket.

In addition, corporate cash flow is drying up little by little.

This period of time has been really difficult.

Hamanaka has also heard some rumors recently. It is said that the Shinjuku City City Hall has instructed the tax bureau to investigate the companies that initiated the case. Not to mention whether there will be penalties, the tax bureau has entered the scene and continuously searched for information.

It is enough to greatly affect the daily operations of the company.

Especially when a cooperative enterprise sees you being investigated by the tax bureau, who else is willing to continue to cooperate?

A total of five clubs initiated the case this time. The presidents of three clubs privately approached Hamanaka and said that they wanted to withdraw the application for administrative ruling.

"Lawyer Kitahara..." President Hamanaka opened his mouth again, but he couldn't say anything.

The young male lawyer whose name was called turned around.

The expression on his face was the same as when President Hamanaka first saw him.

A cynical expression.

A person who clearly seems a bit unreliable, but yet makes people have to trust and rely on him.

"President Hamanaka." Beihara said, "Are you afraid?"

Facing Beihara's question, Hamaka was a little stunned.

Are you afraid? Of course you are.

There are dozens of people in the company waiting to be supported by him.

Many people have been working with me for more than ten or twenty years.

If they were to be sent away one day, Hamanaka wouldn't even know how to face them.

I have already incurred huge debts in order to replenish my business's capital.

If everything turns out to be in vain, the business is gone, and the friends with whom I have worked hard for many years are gone, I will also fall into a life of hardship and debt collection.

Of course I am afraid.

"Lawyer Beihara, I...I...of course I'm afraid." Hamaka said with a trembling voice.

"Then do you think those people in the city hall are afraid?" Kitahara continued to ask.

Hearing Beihara ask this question, Hamanaka was a little confused, "They shouldn't be afraid. They are all a group of pampered gentlemen. They clearly don't understand business and industry, but they have the power to decide on investment projects in a region. They will take it irrevocably."

With a fixed salary, you don’t have to worry about whether your income will be available next month.”

"Usually, business bosses have to be careful when going to their offices." The past scenes appeared in Binzhong's mind, "I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention to any detail, I will offend them. In the end, the company will even be destroyed, and I don't know how.

I have to bring gifts every time I go there, and if they come to my place, I will carefully choose a place to entertain them."

"Lawyer Kitahara, do you think they will be afraid of such a group of people?" Hamaka said.

Yes, even if you are the boss of a company, you must please them obediently to avoid being made things difficult for you.

Listening to Hamaka's words, Beihara suddenly laughed out loud.

This laughter seems to be laughing at the impermanence of this world.

Laugh at the absurdity of this world.

Laugh at the topsy-turvy world.

The young man seemed to be inspired and said, "President Hamanaka, do you think it's interesting?"

"In this world, people who do evil are not afraid, but honest and meek people are."

"People who do wrong things are not afraid, but people who follow the rules are afraid."

"People who don't care about other people's feelings are not afraid, but people who are considerate of others are afraid."

"People without a sense of responsibility are not afraid, but people with a sense of responsibility are afraid."

"We are not afraid of lawless people, but good citizens are."

"Bad people seem to be unafraid all the time, but good people seem to be afraid all the time."

Every word Beiyuan said was like the sound of a big bell, constantly hitting Hamanaka's ears.

The young man in front of him was like an inspiring prophet, vividly displaying the ugliness of the world in front of everyone.

It was just a short paragraph, but for some reason, it directly conveyed Hamanaka's deepest life insights in the past decades.

A picture of being bullied by city hall personnel in the past appeared in Hamanaka's mind.

In the past, he kept begging for help from the city hall in a low voice in order to make payments to the city hall faster.

In order to get approval for things that could have passed the review, I kept putting on a smile and looking for people to say hello.

In order to make the company feel better, I also tried to be called to pay for the meal at almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

And all this is done just to get the business done.

Obviously I just want to run the business normally, but I am forced into this situation.

Why is it that even though we just want to accomplish one thing well, there are so many masters who have to take care of them one by one to make it work?

I am also a dignified person.

I am also a person who doesn’t like socializing.

I am also a person who doesn’t like to ask for help.

I am also a person who wants to do things according to rules and contracts.

Suddenly, unspeakable complex emotions surged into the president's heart.

Hamaka's eyes seemed a little blurry, and his voice choked up, "Kitahara...Lawyer Kitahara..."

The young male lawyer in front of him did not make a long speech, but simply said:
Chapter completed!
