The strongest high school student in Japan

"Okay... okay... I won't scold her anymore." Heze Kangjie smiled bitterly, "She told you that she wanted to send you to study abroad, right? What do you think?"

"I refused," Mogami Jun replied. "I don't really want to go abroad."

"That's a good kid." Heze Kangjie nodded approvingly, "That's the way to do it! Going abroad alone, all your social relationships are gone, it will be extremely difficult to rebuild them. That damn girl thought this was good for you, huh, you've really lived in vain all these years!"

After complaining about his naive daughter for a while, the old man finally got to the point. "In fact, during this period of time, I, an old man, have not just been idle and playing around. On the contrary, I have been busy for you, and there are some signs of progress..."

coming!

Mogami Jun's heart skipped a beat.

Judging from the old man's happy expression, this is not a good sign.

Although I am very grateful for my grandfather's kindness in wanting to pave the way for me, but... this method is too heavy.

At this point, Jun Mogami had no choice but to stop playing dumb and take the lead.

"I heard from mom that you are planning to find me a marriage partner as soon as possible?"

"Yes, that's what I planned." Heze Kangjie nodded. "I originally wanted to ask your mother for reference, so I told her, but I didn't expect that this girl didn't understand it at all and even had a big argument with me. It really made me so angry..."

As the old man spoke, he looked angry and picked up a few grapes and chewed them.

It seems that the father and daughter had a really serious quarrel that day.

Mogami Jun took a deep breath.

"Grandpa, I'm so sorry. I really don't want to make you angry at all." After a moment, he spoke, "But... please allow me to refuse this kindness."

107, Trouble

"But...please allow me to reject this kindness."

Mogami Jun's clear and concise answer made the old man's expression change slightly, and Mogami Kiyomi, who had been silent beside him, also turned pale.

The two men looked at each other, obviously a little surprised by Jun Mogami's quick answer.

In a sense, it is very normal for a young person to feel disgusted when encountering such a thing, and the old man has been mentally prepared. However, the answer was so straightforward and without any hesitation, which was a bit bad - because it showed that it was not an answer given under emotional impulse, but a well-thought-out answer.

"You are a young man after all... I didn't know anything when I was your age." Heze Kangjie was not angry, but shook his head with a wry smile, "Well, this is also expected. Everyone would have some resistance when suddenly hearing such a thing... It doesn't matter, you are still young, take your time, there is no rush."

Grandpa's gentle attitude caught Mogami Jun off guard. He had thought that his refusal would lead to a reprimand from his elders, and he had already prepared himself mentally for a debate with the old man. However, he did not expect the old man to accept it within a few seconds. For a moment, he did not know how to continue.

"You are reacting so strongly. Do you already have someone you like?" After comforting Mogami Jun, the old man suddenly asked.

"...No." Jun Mogami hesitated for a moment, then answered.

"If not, everything is fine." Heze Kangjie breathed a sigh of relief, "Chun, you must feel that you are still so young and don't want to settle down, right?"

"That's about it..." Jun Mogami nodded.

"You can't say this idea is wrong. After all, everyone loves freedom, even an old guy like me..." The old man smiled and patted his shoulder again, "But, kid, although there are many ways of life in the world, the one you chose is a very difficult one. You are about to enter a world of intrigue and scheming, especially in the past decade or so. The government has been full of factional struggles and slander, shameless villains have stolen high positions, and talented people have been forced to stand aside and swallow their anger... It is these guys who are worse than pigs and dogs who have turned Japan into what it is today!"

Grandpa, you have been a part of this system over the years. You have always been involved in the intrigues and exclusions. If they are worse than pigs and dogs, how much better can you be than them... For the sake of grandpa's face, Mogami Jun did not say out loud what he was complaining about.

Because he was the loser in the factional struggle, Kousuke Hezawa was naturally full of resentment, and it was not surprising that his words were subjective and personal.

After cursing, Heze Kangjie continued, "In such a world, if a person only wants to take care of himself, muddle through life and then get a pension, then it doesn't matter if he is free and unrestrained, because no one will bother to care about him as long as he doesn't block other people's way. But if he wants to stand out and get to a high position, or even to the top, he can't do it alone, he needs someone to support him! And who else in the world is willing to support you unconditionally, except for your parents and brothers? It's nothing more than your wife. The help from your wife's family is often decisive, so this is a very serious issue and must be considered carefully. From this point of view, it is not too early to start thinking about it in high school. It will be too late to think about it after you go to college!"

Although he had some reservations in his heart, Jun Mogami had to admit that his grandfather's words made a lot of sense, were direct and to the point.

When I met the congressman's secretary Takashi Asakura at school before, I heard him say something like "If you want to get ahead nowadays, you have to have a family background or a close boudoir background." This shows that this is a fact known to everyone.

"Chun, tell me, you worked so hard to study and take exams, and you squeezed into the University of Tokyo by stepping over a lot of people, and then stepped over a lot of people to get into the government, just to muddle through with a pension and then retire; or to build a career and live a glorious life?"

Faced with the old man's questioning, Jun Mogami felt a little overwhelmed. It was rare to feel like someone was leading you by the nose.

"If possible, I certainly hope to make a career..." He finally answered reluctantly.

"Very good, that's more reasonable." The old man smiled and nodded. "So, what exactly is wrong with my considerations? They are obviously all based on your interests! That silly girl even said that I was selfish, which really pissed me off. If I were selfish, I would have gone fishing all over the world. Who would care about this silly girl and her son?!"

After all, my grandfather is a retired bureaucrat. He has been in the world for so many years and is very worldly-wise. He knows that when dealing with young people who are full of vigor and vitality, one cannot just use force, but must find ways to induce them so that they fall into the trap without realizing it.

"Even if what you said makes sense, it's not a reason for me to get married so early..." In the end, Mogami Jun could only use the tried and tested method of procrastination, "I'm still young and have plenty of time. As long as I pay attention, I will always find a suitable partner in the future."

"No one intends to force you to marry anyone. They are just trying to create opportunities for you. Why are you so resistant?" Heze Kangjie sighed, "Oh, I really don't understand you young people nowadays. Others can't even ask for such a good thing, but when it comes to you, it seems like others are assigning you a hard job. You really don't know what's good for you!"

"..." Jun Mogami couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The girl that my grandfather likes cannot be a girl from an ordinary family, so perhaps for many people this is really something they would love to have.

However, it is hard to accept that we are still doing the same things from one or two hundred years ago in the 21st century.

"Since you just said that you don't have anyone you like, then this is easy to handle. I think we can pick a time for everyone to get to know each other," Heze Kangjie pressed on, not giving his grandson any leeway, "Give yourself and others a chance, maybe there will be good results? Even if there are no results, it's always good to make some friends, right? You are good at studying, but you still lack in interpersonal communication. You need to find a way to make up for this now."

Mogami Jun frowned slightly.

At this moment, my grandfather and father were looking at me expectantly, silently putting pressure on me.

The two of them placed all their remaining hopes on himself. This pressure has been with him since he was a child, deciding for him what friends to make, what school to go to, what path to take... They have decided so many things that sometimes Jun Mogami wonders if he has become accustomed to such decisions.

But even if he obediently followed this path, sometimes he still wanted to resist, even if it was only in a small place, he wanted to be his true self for a short time.

"Is it okay if I refuse?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"You can take your time to think about it, or you can refuse. But please believe me, even if you take your time to look for someone, you won't be better than the one that Grandpa has used his entire network to find." He Ze Kangjie waved his hand confidently, "All I ask is that you give me a chance for Grandpa's sake, and also give yourself a chance. Don't throw our hard work aside for a little ridiculous self-esteem. This will only hurt others and yourself!"

"Okay, I understand." Jun Mogami nodded slightly, indicating that the topic ended there.

He refused, but did not promise anything, and he didn't know what to promise. In short, he had made up his mind. No matter what the future would be like, he would only follow his heart to decide his future life affairs, and would never blindly follow the arrangements of his elders.

He has witnessed his father and mother's marriage since he was born.

There was absolutely no trace of happiness at all. Both of them were not living well, and the child also grew up in a cold environment. Even though they both loved each other, the scars were left on each of them.

He didn't want such a story to happen to him again.

Otherwise, what’s the point of being successful?

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic. It looks like you're getting impatient." Heze Kangjie paused at the right time, then waved his hand again, "Boy, take some time to accompany me."

After saying that, he walked out of the living room again and came to the back door of the villa, and right here, there was a rocky beach.

Free Skirt 95 0180909

There are some fishing rods on the rocks. It seems that grandpa has fished here today.

What a leisurely and comfortable retirement life.

Heze Kosuke picked up a fishing rod and pointed to a fishing rod next to it. "Do you want to try it?"

"No, forget it, I'm not interested..." Jun Mogami shook his head.

In his opinion, fishing requires sitting and waiting, which is a waste of time and he doesn't have the patience.

"Young people are indeed unable to sit still..." The old man smiled and shook his head. Then he took the bait from the cylinder beside him and gently placed it on the hook. Then he threw it directly, letting the fishing line fall into the sea and slowly disappear.

"Your father probably hasn't told you yet, has he?"

"What?" Mogami Jun asked in confusion.

"It seems that they didn't say it." Heze Kangjie shook his head, "That's right, there's no point in telling such things to a child..."

"Did Dad run into any trouble at work?" Mogami Jun asked immediately.

He sensed something unusual from his grandfather's expression.

For a moment, Jun Mogami thought that he had offended Hyoudou Takako and had brought trouble to his father.

Fortunately, grandpa quickly relieved Jun Mogami's worries.

"It's not a problem at work, but some big troubles from more than 20 years ago." Heze Kousuke shook his head, "Or should I say big bomb."

"More than 20 years ago..." Mogami Jun thought for a moment and calculated the time. "Wasn't that when he first joined the Ministry of Finance? What kind of trouble was that?"

"It's precisely because he was such an insignificant little guy back then that trouble has come to him now. After all, small fish are the easiest to catch." Heze Kousuke answered mercilessly, "Of course, he is not completely powerless. Now everyone is working hard, and there is always a way to deal with it."

It sounds like a very intense game...

"In short, don't worry about it. No matter what happens to him, you will not be implicated in any way. Please rest assured about this."

Although Jun Mogami was reluctant to ask further questions based on his grandfather's expression, he also understood the seriousness of the problem.

The old man didn't say anything else, but waved his fishing rod and continued fishing. Slowly, a few more lively sea fish appeared in the cylinder.

"To be honest, although I am very disappointed in your father, I also know very well that I owe your father something. I am also responsible for his current situation. If he hadn't followed me, he wouldn't have been ostracized." After a long time, Heze Kangjie finally spoke again, "Chun, work harder! For us, and for yourself."

108, Changyin

"Chun, try harder! For us and for yourself."

Grandpa's warning made Mogami Jun even more nervous.

Although he has been trying to downplay the situation on the surface, the seriousness of the situation has become obvious at this point.

He recalled that his father's actions and words seemed to have become a little strange since last month, but because his father was a quiet and serious person, he couldn't be sure whether it had been earlier.

He communicates very little with his father, and it has been like this for many years.

But even so, father is still father.

Even if we don't consider family ties, a person's greatest support in the world is his or her parents. If the father really breaks down, how can he or she not be affected?

So Jun Mogami decided to continue asking.

"Grandpa, what's going on? Please tell me."

“You know there’s no point in doing this…” The old man shook his head, then continued swinging the rod, ready to continue fishing.

But Jun Mogami couldn't bear it anymore, so he snatched the fishing bucket away from the old man.

"You..." Such a rough action made Heze Kangjie a little dissatisfied. He frowned and prepared to scold his grandson.

"Can you look me in the face now, Grandpa?" However, Mogami Jun was not afraid. Instead, he looked at his grandfather calmly, "Yes, Grandpa, I am indeed a child, and there are very few things I can do. But even so, I should know what my father is going through. This is not something that has nothing to do with me, I must know!"

After staring at each other for a while, perhaps feeling the pressure from his grandson, the anger on the old man's face finally disappeared.

"You're really impatient... You're not like your father, but more like your grandfather." After sighing, he chose to give in. "Well, now that things have come to this, it seems a bit unreasonable not to tell you anything... Do you know about the Changyin incident?"

"The Changyin incident? What is that?" Mogami Jun looked confused.

"That's right... It would be strange if you knew about what happened more than 20 years ago. No matter how sensational something was, it will be forgotten after 20 years..." The old man smiled bitterly again, then he sorted out his thoughts and began to explain to Mogami Jun.

Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan refers to the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan. In the 80s, this bank was one of the largest banks in Japan. At its peak, it ranked 20th among the Fortune Global .

However, because the bank had expanded its business in real estate and financial industries during the bubble era, it had a huge amount of non-performing assets after the bubble burst.

In 1991, during an internal meeting of the company, the bank's managing director Suzuki Katsuji reported to the then chairman Horie Tetsuya that the bank's bad debts totaled trillion yen. In order to avoid responsibility, Horie Tetsuya chose to record these bad assets outside the balance sheet through asset operations (this method is called "hibasu" in Japan) and concealed the matter from the outside world in order to maintain the bank's stock price.

In 1998, when the economy was getting worse, Long-Term Credit Bank, which was dragged down by non-performing assets, finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to seek help from the government. At this time, Chairman Oonoki Katsunobu chose to continue to keep the matter secret in order to get the government's aid first. In March, the first batch of rescue funds totaling 3 billion yen was injected into the bank.

The Ministry of Finance thought that so much money should be able to save the banks, but they soon realized that they had miscalculated.

In August, the cabinet of Keizo Obuchi was formally established, and Miyazawa Kiichi, a veteran politician who was deeply involved with Nagakuni Bank, was appointed as the Minister of Finance. Nagakuni Bank seized the opportunity and began to exert influence through the political circle. In October, the National Assembly passed the Financial Revitalization Law, deciding to "temporarily nationalize" Nagakuni Bank, with the state temporarily taking over Nagakuni Bank and assuming its debts.

Initially, the government estimated that the total debt of Long-Term Credit Bank was around 2 trillion yen. However, after nationalization, in order to deal with all the hidden losses and bad debts of Long-Term Credit Bank, the Ministry of Finance invested a total of nearly 8 trillion yen. After deducting the compensation from the advance insurance agency, the final loss of public funds was between 4 and 5 trillion yen.

At this time, the government finally started an investigation. However, during the investigation, two important witnesses, former vice chairman Takamoto Uehara and former Osaka branch manager Kazukuni Fukuda, could not bear the pressure and committed suicide. Therefore, according to the police, "the investigation has entered a period of great difficulty, and it is difficult to determine the truth behind the fog of the incident."

The case caused a sensation after being reported by the media and caused huge losses to state funds. In order to give an explanation to the people, the former chairman Katsunobu Ohnoki was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for four years; the two former vice chairmen Katsuji Suzuki and Masami Suten were sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for three years. In other words, neither of these two important figures actually went to jail.

During the short-lived nationalization, Chang Hwa Bank divested its non-performing assets and left the bad debts to the government, and then sold its main body to foreign investors. It was renamed Shinsei Bank and started again. During this series of operations, the bank's original accounts were reorganized, and the matter was eventually left unresolved, known as the "Chang Hwa Bank incident."

"Bad debts... four or five trillion?" Although grandpa said it lightly, Mogami Jun smacked his lips in amazement, still shocked by the huge size of this monetary unit.

Calculated according to the exchange rate, this amount of money is equivalent to 90 to billion US dollars, and it was the US dollars of the s. At that time, the GDP of many countries was not as high as this figure. Then such bad debts were written off, and no one took responsibility afterwards.

"What a little kid, so petty!" Kousuke Hezawa couldn't help but complain about his grandson, "One trillion is nothing. You're going to be in the Ministry of Finance in the future. These numbers don't even add up to a hair! The total debt of the Japanese government has exceeded one quadrillion, but who cares? No one expects it to be paid off anyway."

After a pause, he sneered again, "This kind of thing happened a lot in the past, it still happens now, and it will happen even more in the future. Sooner or later, you will get used to it."

Mogami Jun managed to calm himself down.

He finally understood what his father, who had seen the world, was worried about - just from this shocking number, one could feel the depth of the darkness, which was definitely an abyss that no one could touch.

Whether it is 8 trillion or 4 trillion, they are unimaginably huge numbers, enough to take the lives of too many people, and it is definitely not something that Zui Shangqing alone can bear.

In this shocking moment, he finally truly felt the true meaning of the words "sheepfold", "shepherd" and "sheep owner" mentioned by Saigami Kiyoshi.

My grandfather and father, who have worked in the Ministry of Finance for decades, are bureaucrats that come into contact with things like this every day...

"Hasn't this matter been suppressed for more than 20 years? And hasn't the investigation been interrupted... Then why has it been brought up again now and involves my father?" Mogami Jun was a little puzzled.
