Chapter 44 Chapter Two

In the underground cafeteria of the county government office building, there are many people eating.It's time for lunch.Kurauchi Tadanobu bought a set meal and looked for vacant seats with the tray.Many staff members stared at him, people looked at the "governor's shadow", some were afraid, some were in awe, some nodded and bowed, and some hurriedly gave up their seats.Can't eat it in the warehouse. Made the old man angry? ... This question was in Kurauchi Tadanobu's mind, and the answer came before he thought about it for a long time.When the old man refused Cangnei Tadanobu to enter the governor's office, his eyes were very cold.

Moreover, this is not the first time, a similar thing happened the day before yesterday... At that time, Cangauchi Tadanobu greeted the old man who just came back from outside, but the old man Sifangtian ignored him.At that time, Cang Nei panicked, because the day before, the old man was talking about work and professional baseball with Cang Nei.At that time, Cang Nei thought that the old man was outside and encountered something unpleasant. However, if a similar situation happened twice, Kurauchi Tadanobu would have to find the reason from himself. The old man was angry.No, disgust is more appropriate.

The old man Sifang Tianchun's eyes clearly contained disgust.The spirit of loyalty in the warehouse immediately weakened.If this is the case, what is the reason why the old man hates Cangnei? "Chairman, can I sit next to you?" Kurauchi Tadanobu looked up, and saw that it was Yamamura, Assistant Chief of the General Affairs Division of the Forestry Department. "The weather is so fine, it makes people feel happy!..." Assistant Yamamura said happily as he put the tray on the dining table. "Hmm..." Cangauchi Tadanobu weakly responded. "Have you finished reviewing the governor's speech at the Arbor Day Conference?"

"Sorry, I haven't finished watching it yet!..." Kurauchi Tadanobu said with a wry smile. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not urging you. I just saw you here..." Then, Shancun lamented how difficult forestry administration is, and left after eating. Yamamura's intention was very clear. He hoped that Kurauchi Tadanobu could speak well for himself in front of the county governor Shifang Tianchuno, saying how capable the assistant to the section chief of the forestry department called Yamamura was.What the chief secretary says is what the governor says—I'm afraid there are not a few employees who think this way.

There is still more than half of the set meal that Cangnei Tadanobu bought.After returning the cutlery, he took a cup of tea and sat down at the table.He was in no mood to laugh at Shancun.It's none of your business——The old man's words made Kurauchi Tadanobu very terrified. Tadanobu Kurauchi is fifty-two years old.To put it in a self-deprecating way, every time this happens, Kurauchi will feel extremely uneasy. He is very timid, it can be said that he is naturally timid.Since he was a child, he has listened to his parents and teachers, but he has also done remarkable things. For example, when he was in elementary school, he stood up and ran for the class committee with a red face. To be more than twice as strong.However, his prestige is not high, his organizational skills are not strong, and he slowly loses his confidence.Whether it's in study, sports, or play, as long as you meet someone who is better than him, Cang Nei will immediately surrender.

In junior high school, high school, in any aspect, he never thought of being the first.Tadanobu Kurauchi has never done a single thing to break the shell of his character and achieve a dramatic breakthrough.Just after puberty, he decided that he could not be the protagonist, but only a supporting role. Such a loyal person in the warehouse can be accepted by the surroundings only after entering the county government.In county government offices, people with strong personalities are not necessarily welcomed, but it is a matter of course that people who are good at "serving their bosses" are popular.In this world, his sense of inferiority gradually weakened, and timidity and obedience became the most useful weapon in his hands.The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labor was not originally a place to train cadres, but Kannai Tadanobu, who has worked in the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labor for many years, has made progress faster than anyone else.

Tadanobu Kurauchi does not think that "serving the boss" is a kind of pain, but instead thinks it is a kind of happiness.The trick to gaining the trust of the boss is not to show off in the limelight, but to be willing to be the boss's unknown adviser.When he was in his forties, Kurauchi finally realized that this way of life was the most suitable for him. It was precisely because the old man Shikata Haruo admired Kurauchi Tadanobu's way of life that he was transferred to the General Affairs Department. Two years later, he was appointed as the head of the Secretary Section of the Governor's Office.According to the usual practice, the office director is vacant, so Tadanobu Kurauchi is the actual office director.This time, even the marrow of the warehouse has tasted the sweetness of "serving the boss".

The power of the county governor is very great - he controls a budget of 670 billion yen, governs more than 5,800 employees of the county government, and has the right to approve more than 3,000 items.Working under the county governor, although he cannot become the supreme leader, he can enjoy the hard work and happiness that only the supreme leader can experience in the process of assisting the governor. Over the past four years, Tadanobu Kurauchi has tried his best to "serve the boss".How can we make the work of the old man Sifangtian easier?While concentrating all his energy on rectifying the working environment, he also devoted himself to studying all aspects of the old man Sifang Tianchuno-such as his personality, way of thinking about problems, hobbies, interests, health status, etc.; as a county governor, What is the goal of Sifangtian's struggle, and what kind of career does he want to achieve...

Everything in our county is very backward - this is the mantra that the old man Haruo Sifang used to say.He often speaks loudly that infrastructure development is a top priority.Roads, railways, schools, hospitals, parks, social welfare facilities, sewers...there is just too much to do.Ask the state to increase the budget, fight hard with reason, and don't let go of your bite.The investigation officials sent by the central government called him "Turtle Sifangtian". The old man, who just passed his 67th birthday last month, was born in a family of ordinary citizens. He used to run hotels and department stores. Although he has handed over the management to his son, he still regards administrative management as business operation, which feels very keen.He is confident and somewhat arrogant.There are times when he calls black into white, but fundamentally speaking, Sifangtian is still an upright guy with a strong sense of humanity and a soft heart.

Kurauchi Tadanobu admires the old man very much, he does his best to serve the old man, and he is also a comrade-in-arms of the old man when he ran for the second county governor.Cangnei thinks that the old man trusts him very much and uses him as his own arm, so he has tried his best to serve the old man for many years, but... Kurauchi Tadanobu took a sip of tea. The relationship between myself and the old man is as close as a pair of lovers, but, twice in a row, he was treated coldly by the old man.The warehouse is extremely boring.Maybe the old man really hated Cangnei Tadanobu. Although the specific reason is not clear, it is not difficult to find the "factor" that caused the rift between the two.This "factor" is the young man in the secretary class, who looks like Toshiichiro Katsuragi, a kabuki actress.

The old man Sifangtian said that he wanted a young policy secretary, so this spring, the government transferred this young man, Toshiichiro Katsuragi, who called himself "the trump card of the General Affairs Department" from the personnel department.This is a very smooth guy.When he was a child, he went to the United States with his parents. After returning to Japan and graduating from a prefectural high school, he was admitted to Boston University to study political science.However, he has never been proud of his own experience, coupled with his gentle speech and manners, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, everyone likes him, and he quickly integrated into the new environment of the secretary class. However, Katsuragi Toshiichiro did not show any talent in business.Perhaps it is because he is not yet clear about the scope of functions of the newly created position of "Policy Investigator", and he is still working part-time in the Letters and Calls Office, so he is too busy with work. However, there is no doubt that the old man Sifangtian Haruo likes Katsuragi Toshiichiro. When Katsuragi Toshiichiro met the old man for the first time, he talked about the strategy of the US president and governor to appear in the media.It seems that this is the first time the old man has heard of these things that are well known in Japan.After that, the old man especially liked to appear on TV, and also liked to speak in public. Tadanobu Kurauchi has long been worried about the old man Shikata Haruo being infatuated with Toshiichiro Katsuragi.During the break, the old man always called Guimu to the governor's office.In the past, Tadanobu Kurauchi must have been called in to chat about this and that. Although he didn't want to admit it, Kurauchi Tadanobu couldn't lie to himself.He is jealous of Katsuragi Toshiichiro, and has been jealous of him since this spring, and this jealousy is gradually expanding, making him uneasy.The jealousy of a man in his fifties, the jealousy of his younger subordinates, but this kind of jealousy can't be vented, it can only be held in his heart like a poisonous gas, allowing it to continuously poison the soul. In fact, it was not the old man whom Toshiichiro Katsuraki approached on his own initiative, but the old man, Haruo Shikata, who had changed his mind.Even so, the sharp sword in Tadashi Kurauchi's heart is not directed at the old man, but at Toshiichiro Katsuragi.If the old man Sifangtian Haruo was regarded as a bad guy, then as the head of the secretarial department, he would naturally have no place to stand.Therefore, Tadanobu Kurauchi insisted that if Katsuragi Toshiichiro was not transferred, he would not fall out of favor. What happened today, Tadanobu Kurauchi began to suspect that Katsuragi Toshiichiro spoke ill of himself to the old man Sifang Tian Haruo.Maybe Guimu really said something bad.It is true that on the surface, Katsuragi Toshiichiro is a pure and innocent young man without any desires, but knowing people, face and heart, he must have played tricks on the old man and squeezed out the old man's confidant. Most likely so.In the warehouse, he picked up the already cold tea and drank it dry in one gulp.The relationship of trust between Cangnei and the old man was established in four years. Can Gui Mu's two or three bad words simply destroy this relationship of trust?It's hard to believe.Moreover, the old man really hates people who speak ill of others. The old man Sifangtian often said that people in the same organization speak ill of each other, which is the main culprit for the weakening of this organization. So, why did the old man say such cold words to himself today? "Bastard, it's none of your business!..." It was the county council member named Akashi who spoke ill of Tadanobu Kurauchi to the old man Sifangtian?No, Akashi came to see Mr. Sifangtian for the governor's election next year. Before entering the governor's office, he said "excuse me" very politely to Kurauchi Tadanobu, without any dislike for himself. Today is not the first time that the old man Sifang Tianchun is indifferent to the warehouse.Zhongxin in the Tiancang was also treated coldly by the old man the other day.At that time, the old man's attitude towards Cangnei Zhongxin was to ignore his existence at all.Kurauchi Tadanobu looked at the sky, and suddenly recalled what happened the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday was Monday.In order to go to the hospital for tooth extraction, Kurauchi Tadanobu took half a day off work and did not go to work until noon.It was about one o'clock in the afternoon when the old man Sifang Tianchun came back from outside.At that time, the warehouse greeted the old man, but the old man didn't even look at him, and went straight into the county governor's office.The old man went to the northern region for inspection yesterday, and he didn't come to the office all day. The day before yesterday, that is, Sunday evening, Kurauchi Tadanobu and the old man chatted about professional baseball for a while in the governor's office. The old man was not even a little impatient;It is certain that the old man either heard what someone said, or saw something with his own eyes, which is extremely unfavorable to the warehouse. So what is it? Kurauchi Tadanobu frowned, closed his eyes, and thought desperately.Can't think of anything.Cangnei doesn't remember what he has done, and was pointed at behind and poked his spine.Slander?So, who is it that hates him? "Section Head!..." Kurauchi Tadanobu opened his eyes and saw that it was Suzuki, the deputy governor's secretary.Suzuki asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" "It's nothing." "Your complexion is not very good." "I don't feel sick. What's the matter?" "I've put the materials for tomorrow's press conference on your desk. Please go through them after you return to the office." "Understood." Cangauchi Tadanobu feebly agreed. "Also, the fishing book you asked for is also on your desk." "Ah, I'm sorry to trouble you. Thank you." Cang Nei was taken aback by the last three words he said.The three-character suicide note was sent to Cangnei.How much sarcasm and sarcasm are contained in these three words, Cangnei really can't tell. "Thank you!..." To Cangauchi Tadanobu, there was nothing in these three words except complaints.It doesn't matter to him if others are indifferent, but if the old man finds out about this... Kurauchi Tadanobu bit his lip. Things that have been forgotten have to be remembered again.It's a misfortune.Kurauchi Tadanobu cursed this misfortune.
