In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Hashimoto and Koizumi's eyes moved slightly.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's control over Nihon Seibo is of great significance, and the reason why Iida Yoko was able to have the opportunity to become the Deputy Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare after serving as a member of parliament was because of his supreme authority over Nihon Seibo.

But even so, there is still a big gap between their identities. It is a bit strange to be so shameless in taking care of a nameless little guy.

Could this be the successor he has chosen?

They are all spirits. Hashimoto Ryutaro nodded slightly as a return gesture. Given his status, even if he was so perfunctory, he had already given enough face to Ida Yoko.

As the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, Koizumi gave Ida Yoko more face and bowed at a 45-degree angle to appear more friendly.

Next.

The four of them walked together.

Hashimoto and Koizumi were in the front, Ida Yoko and Nagano Nao were in the back.

"Are you used to working in a company?"

“I’m trying to adapt, but I’ll definitely try my best.”

"Well, I heard from Yuanjun that you are very knowledgeable about ancient philosophies such as Zhouyi and Daodejing. I also happen to like such philosophical thoughts. If you have nothing to do next, let's go to Mitsui Club and have a good exchange."

"..."

Source of glory.

You MMP!

Nagano Nao never expected that Iida Yoko would actually discuss these national treasures with him.

Come to think of it, I can't fucking understand it either!

Is this what it means to be struck by lightning for pretending to be cool?

But then, Hashimoto Ryutaro in front of him showed an interested look and said, "Nagano, you actually studied such profound and abstruse heavenly philosophy as Zhouyi and Daodejing?"

Am I digging a hole for myself?

Nagano Nao was feeling extremely panicked.

If we were just talking about the economy, the international situation or something like that, he could still talk a lot.

But at the beginning I just knew that the upper class was very interested in Chinese classics and wanted to show off, but I didn't expect to encounter this situation at this time.

Say no?

This guy Hashimoto is the Minister of Finance and the future Prime Minister.

There are definitely many benefits to walking together and showing off.

But how can I be a good scholar if I don’t know anything?

The brave will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation. It’s the same book. I don’t believe you understand it better than me.

"Nagano doesn't dare to say that he has studied such a profound and mysterious book of heaven's way, but he has time to indulge in the philosophy and thoughts contained in it."

"That's right! But who dares to say that they have studied such a heavenly book? Every time I read it, I have a different feeling."

"Does your Excellency like this kind of philosophy?"

"Of course, when I was practicing martial arts, I realized the true meaning of martial arts, and when I was in politics, I realized extraordinary philosophy. Speaking of which, I really admire the wisdom of the ancients."

"..."

Minister of Finance.

In Japan, there is actually not much difference between him and the Prime Minister.

Because the Ministry of Finance exists as a single department that manages an economic complex equivalent to the U.S. Central Bank, the Treasury Department, the Congressional Budget Office, the Securities and Exchange Commission, etc., not to mention traditional units of the Ministry of Finance such as the Tax Bureau.

Therefore, the Minister of Finance is actually the uncrowned king of Japan's economy, and most of them will later become Prime Minister.

It can be seen that Ryutaro Hashimoto likes ancient philosophies such as the Book of Changes and the Tao Te Ching very much. He was originally very cold towards Nagano Nao, but now he talked incessantly about the ideas in those philosophies.

Nagano Naoio always answered carefully and cautiously.

It wasn't until this guy discovered that he actually couldn't understand Ryutaro Hashimoto that he began to admire and be obsessed with him even more.

Just like the hidden dragon in the Qian hexagram.

It's outrageous that this guy Ryutaro Hashimoto actually thinks that is the true meaning of martial arts.

I don't know why, but I can't suppress the feeling of superiority in my heart.

Affected by such emotions, Nagano Nao forgot that the person he was talking to was the Minister of Finance, the future Prime Minister, and said with some pride: "I think there is actually more meaning to this. Just like a dragon hiding in the water needs to wait for an opportunity, so a gentleman should be cautious and diligent to ensure that he can be safe even if he encounters danger."

"Nagano, how do you talk?"

"Ah, it's okay, Iida, you don't have to be so harsh on the younger generation. Speaking of which, Nagano's words remind me of the famous saying that people are born in comfort and die in misery!"

"Hashimoto-kun, are you talking about the situation in Eastern Europe?"

"Yes. This situation is extremely disadvantageous to us."

"It's a pity that those Russian idiots are so disappointing. We took huge risks to support them. It's a pity for Toshiba."

"But now the United States is pressing us step by step, and we have very few options."

"No matter how strong a fortress is, it can only be breached from within. What really worries me is the internal problems. It seems that it is time to strengthen the supervision of the financial market. If there are bastards who dare to betray the Yamato nation..."

As they were talking, they deliberately quickened their pace to avoid Nagano Nao.

Holy crap!!

What the hell!

What did I hear?

Nagano Nao's face turned red and he screamed wildly in his heart.

Although he could no longer hear their conversation, the content he had vaguely heard before had already exploded like thunder in his mind.

He never expected that he would hear so many incredible secrets.

He has always had an idea. While no one knows about Japan's current situation, he would secretly hook up with Goldman Sachs and then short the stock market to make a fortune.

After all, that's what it says in novels!

Only at this moment did he realize that the clown was actually himself.

It is obvious that the Japanese top leaders know everything and have been taking action to do so, even making efforts several years ago.

And it seems that the Minister of Finance has already set his sights on those who may short sell in the country in the future!

What the fuck!

You misled me!

In front, several people chatted for a while, and Koizumi asked casually: "This young man is quite good, and he seems to be very energetic."

"Nagano, he is really good. It was he who gave me the inspiration for this proposal. He is also the bastard of the Nakamura family."

Hashimoto and Koizumi's faces immediately turned strange when they heard this.

The two couldn't help laughing and said, "I see! This is very interesting!"

"Then let's help this kid. If possible, Nakamura Masaru's expression will definitely be very interesting."

“…”

Chapter 70 Social Meeting

along the way.

Nagano Naoo lowered his head and followed the three people silently with a very respectful expression on his face.

Ryutaro Hashimoto has a slicked-back hair, which is shiny and greasy because of the mousse. His meticulous appearance makes him look like a professional Yakuza leader.

He stood straight, walked steadily, and looked serious, completely different from his previous talkative and laughing self, which was in line with the stereotype of a politician.

Koizumi looked much more sloppy, with a hunched back and undyed hair. Although his hair was combed and parted in the middle, the sides of his hair were probably bulging up from sleeping, making it look like a bird's nest.

Such an image can't help but make people want to laugh. Come to think of it, this guy is now the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, but he doesn't care about his image.

The most interesting thing is that neither Hashimoto nor Koizumi brought any bodyguards, and they didn't look at all pretentious.

Therefore, after the initial shock and excitement, many strange thoughts always pop up in my mind.

For example, if you hit these two guys on the back of their heads, will history become different from what you know? For another example, if you throw a banana peel on the ground, will it change the direction of the future?

There are also things like, if I mess up Hashimoto's meticulous hairstyle, what will be that guy's reaction? Or if I tidy up Koizumi's bird's nest hair, will he thank me?

Of course, apart from that, I really want to say, it’s just a few notebooks, what’s the big deal.

But when I suddenly came into contact with this level, I had to admit that I was a little nervous, and I had an indescribable complex feeling in my heart.

It turns out that I have such a high starting point!!

Just like that, he followed a few people like a bodyguard or a killer all the way and unknowingly arrived in front of a European-style building.

On the iron-style and cement-tile wall hangs a piece of black-and-gold-plated lettering - Ami-machi Mitsui Club.

Got here.

It was no longer convenient for Naoto Nagano to move forward.

In a society with strict hierarchy, a club like this one, which is only open to middle-level and above leaders of the Mitsui Group, is not accessible to small people.

But the people in front stopped, and Ida Yoko turned around and said, "Nagano, come in with me."

Very confused.

However, this was not the time to resolve the doubts, so Nagano Nao hurriedly responded and followed.

Since then, it has attracted the attention of many people.

Both Ryutaro Hashimoto and Harunami Koizumi are stars in the political arena, and the former is almost certain to be the future Prime Minister. The two appear on television and in newspapers every day, and it can be said that everyone knows them.

Even though neither of them paid any attention to Nagano Nao, following behind them immediately sent a signal.

Once inside.

Everyone in the club gave him strange looks.

The most eye-catching one is a girl with a sweet face, fair and delicate skin, and a pair of cute big eyes. The first impression she gives is that she is a good girl in her father's house.
