Chapter 12 first quarter

That evening, Suehiro Zentaro and a female companion had dinner at a Chinese restaurant near Akasaka.That woman was the one who Sanze Junzi saw coming out of the teahouse when she came back from a date with Director Chuanbei.This person is twenty-seven or eight years old, with a long face and hanging eyes. "In this place, you won't be discovered by the newspaper staff?" The woman looked around worriedly while eating. The table with them was like a family, and the adjacent table was full of men. "People from the newspaper office won't come to this store." Zentaro Suehiro said affirmatively.

"Well. That's fine. If someone finds out, I'll be exposed." "What's the matter? Hey, when I met Junko Misawa at noon, did she recognize you?" "I don't know. But, if I see you later, I might be able to recall it." "The switchboard uses voice to connect with others, and it is rare to run into people." "Yeah. That's true. There are a lot of newspaper staff I've never met, and I've been familiar with their voices through the microphone. But for some reason, I'm always worried that I'll run into them."

"Don't you know their every word and deed, every move, and even their private life?" "However, in terms of professional ethics, this must be kept secret. It is not allowed to be disclosed to anyone. However, what you Mr. Suehiro asked for from me is a different matter." The woman said sourly. "That's right!" Suehiro Zentaro smiled contentedly. "Today, I delivered a farewell speech at the Data Investigation Department, and I scolded Director Chuanbei and Junko Misawa in a roundabout way." "It's not okay to be so explicit! I provided the materials. This matter is no small matter. If anyone finds out, I will be fired immediately."

"It doesn't matter. I always pretended to be my own inferences and made inferences. The information you provided is very helpful to me. In the newspaper office, others have heard of the ghost behind the murderous Kawakita Ryosuke. Don't worry! I'm sure , all on me." This woman's name is Jiang Mu Yuzi, and she is the switchboard of the newspaper office.After she eavesdropped on the phone call from Director Kawakita to Junko Misawa, she immediately told Zentaro Suehiro.The reason why Eki Ikuko became Suehiro Zentaro's internal agent, and dared to tell Suehiro what he overheard, is inseparable from the ambiguous relationship between the two.

In the switchboard room.All calls from outside lines to newspaper staff.They must be transferred by the operator.Operator if careful.Anything can be overheard.Over time.They can take advantage of their jobs to spy on everything related to newspaper staff.As long as there is; telephone.Whether it is to contact work or other things, the switchboards can understand it as soon as they hear it.Especially the calls made by women to male employees, or calls made by men to female employees, they can't help but like to eavesdrop.Never let go of those meaningful conversations.Therefore, these female operators are well aware of the secrets of the newspaper staff.For example: which employee has a lover with what name, who has developed a relationship with whom to what extent, and who has borrowed money from others, almost all of them are known.

Of course, due to the complicated work of the newspaper office, the switchboards were a little slack, and it was not uncommon for them to be reprimanded by the male staff and feel a little useless.But they don't care, they have their own sense of superiority and their trump card.Because they have mastered the secrets of those people's contact with the opposite sex, family status, economic status and other weaknesses in life. "Is it true that Misawa Junko was invited to the TV company?" Suehiro Zentaro asked.He did this to further verify the clues provided by Jiang Mu Yuzi.

"That person is the head of the TV company, and he is an old friend with Ryosaku Kawakita, who entrusted Director Kawakita to persuade Misawa." Jiang Mu Yuzi drank the soup with a spoon. "Where did the man from the TV company meet Junko Misawa?" "Based on my guess, there is this possibility: Junko Misawa has a girlfriend surnamed Mihara, and that woman often calls. Judging from what Mihara said, she seems to work in a nightclub near Akasaka. " "If it's that nightclub, Chuanbei Ryoce goes there often. Then, it was through this woman's relationship that Chuanbei and Sanze made out? Otherwise, Chuanbei would have no chance to meet women in the newspaper office."

"Yes, it seems to be. I don't know if the little boss of the TV company happened to come to the nightclub and talked about it with Kawakita." Eki Ikuko opened her slender eyes and said mysteriously to Suehiro. "It's totally possible. It's outrageous!" Suehiro didn't know why, and became angry: "The real reason why Chuanbei kicked me out of the data investigation department, now I can figure it out! Put me in the place she likes." Being a minister next to a woman, of course, is in the way, and it doesn't look pleasing to the eye! Kawakita Ryosaku demoted me for a boring reason, and that's because Misawa Junko made a mistake and he was a little timid."

"Yes!" Jiang Mu Yuzi finished drinking the soup, wiped his lips with a handkerchief and said, "That Misawa Junko seems to be very scheming. On the one hand, she has a relationship with the director, and on the other hand, she has a boyfriend in the newspaper office. " "The boyfriend in the newspaper office? Who is it?" "I'm afraid it's not good to say it." "Forget it! We're talking about what matters here!" "Okay, let me tell you." Jiang Mu Yuzi said coquettishly: "It's the local version called Kiuchi Kazuo. I just called from outside and invited Misawa Junko to watch a movie together!"

Suehiro Zentaro watched Eki Ikuko put Chinese food on her plate, while he was smoking a cigarette blankly.In his mind, a map of the power distribution situation of the R newspaper was drawn: with the editorial director Ryosaku Kawakita as the center, various lines were drawn; and in the position opposite to Ryosaku Kawakita, there was also a circle of influence.In the middle of the circle of influence, there is also a center.Taking the opposition as the center also leads to many straight lines, which cross the central line of Ryosaku Kawakita.Although this power distribution map is intricate, it is clearly reflected in Suehiro Zentaro's mind.

The editorial director, Yoshisaku Kawakita, is currently in close contact with Kazuma Seinaga, the managing director in charge of the editorial work.About 10 years ago, Mr. Seinaga, as an important responsible official, had already laid a solid foundation in the newspaper office and controlled the R newspaper office.At present, all the power within the scope of the editorial bureau is firmly in his hands.When he first arrived at the newspaper, he was also crushed by other competitors, but in the end, he was the one who won.At that time, he was reused by the current president and consolidated the existing power.The current opposition forces can't shake him in the slightest.If Chief Chuanbei can maintain Executive Seyong's trust in him, then he will rise to the top.He can be the general affairs of the Osaka branch first, which is the director's treatment, and then the editor and general affairs of the Tokyo head office, the president of the Osaka branch, and then the clerk in charge of the editor-in-chief he has been waiting for, completely following the A route taken by Executive Seinaga.Therefore, the current situation is very favorable for Chuanbei Ryoce. Of course, the faction that opposes the good policy of Northern Sichuan is still on the rise.At the center is former editorial chief Toshisuke Nakata.Nakata Risuke is currently living in the discussion committee room.According to internal rumors in the newspaper, Nakata Toshisuke's influence has been suppressed by Kawakita.As Chuanbei, it is not difficult to take decisive action.One of the reasons is because he is aggressive and can't tolerate his opponents.In addition, he is also fully capable of implementing the "North Sichuan Plan".It's just that it is too early to implement the reform plan from the current situation because the days of taking office are not too long.He wanted to observe for a while longer. Zentaro Suehiro is considered to be a member of the former editorial director Toshisuke Nakata.This can be seen from his obsequiousness to Director Nakata Risuke at that time.This time, he was demoted due to a photo accident. Some people speculated that this was the prelude to the elimination of the Nakata faction by Kawahoku Liangce.At present, there have been no major personnel changes because the conditions for action in northern Sichuan are not yet mature.Speaking of which, Suehiro's demotion was the beginning of Kawakita's plan.In a sense, it is a test balloon released by Chuanbei.He wanted to use this to spy on the internal reaction of the newspaper. Suehiro Zentaro went to the commentary committee room many times to meet with the former editorial director Toshisuke Nakata.Nakata Toshisuke always writes some editorials with a dull interest, looking depressed.The spirit of his time as editorial director was swept away.Hidden in his gloomy expression was his hatred for the chief of Chuanbei who squeezed him out, which often came out from the subtleties of his speech. Kawakita's ambitions are well known within the newspaper.But he has drive.Compared with Lisuke Nakata, who is mediocre and mediocre, she is more attractive.People believe that to refresh and reform the newspaper, it may be more hopeful for Chuanbei to be in power.Because of his trust in Chuanbei, Executive Seinaga put him in the position of editorial chief.In this way, as long as Chuanbei's plan is implemented, Suehiro Zentaro will never have a bright future in this newspaper office. Right now, Suehiro Zentaro must find ways to get out of the predicament.This kind of anxiety was there when he was clearly transferred to the business department.It would be fine if he muddled around, but in a place where there was no way out, he couldn't bear to watch his juniors make their fortunes one by one.This is simply a kind of mental torture for Suehiro Zentaro, who is determined to make a fortune.And when the northern Sichuan system is consolidated and the foundation is firmly established, it will be too late for Suehiro Zentaro to revive!Now, the foundation of Chuanbei is already in the process of being completed, and it is still relatively weak.It is not hopeless to shake his foundations so that it collapses if it is done now. Then, if this is the case, Zentaro Suehiro must partner with Toshisuke Nakata, the commander-in-chief who opposed Ryosuke Kawakita, as soon as possible.Due to the personnel policy in northern Sichuan, the members of the Zhongtian faction will be purged one after another sooner or later. Out of resentment and common interests, anti-North Sichuan forces will naturally collude to form a new force.The centrists are encouraged, and some will join the Nakata faction.If one day Chuanbei's resignation becomes a reality, it will not be the Nakata faction's turn to power.Because the Zhongtian faction has lost its vitality.In this way, those young people in the Zhongtian faction who live on their wages will definitely influence the mainstream of the opposition and become the next powerful faction.In this sense, it is very important to spot the next powerful faction that may succeed, and then win over them. Suehiro Zentaro calculated: To bring Kawakita down, a breakthrough can be made from Misawa Junko.He had to grasp the matter of Kawakita Ryosaku and Misawa Junko's secret date in the nightclub, the fact that the two went to the restaurant for dinner, and the matter of taking care of Misawa Junko and introducing her to a TV station in the same industry as an announcer. Arranging these one by one and publishing them can constitute a scandal.It's just that these materials are not convincing enough, and they must be "enhanced" with embellishments, and the propaganda is weird.right!Just do it! The other end of the power distribution map in Suehiro Zentaro's mind quickly pointed to a man named Kubo Naoichi who worked in the TV station.This person was transferred to the TV station three years ago, and he is often full of complaints.He also sat on the bench in the TV bureau and was put aside by the powerful faction of the TV bureau.And it is impossible for him to return to the newspaper office, even though the TV bureau and the newspaper office are joint ventures.Like those neglected employees of the newspaper, Kubo Naoichi will never have a bright future. Jiang Mu Yuzi kept putting vegetables on her plate. "Hey, Suehiro-kun, what's the matter with you? Why are you smoking, eat quickly!" "Hmm..." Suehiro Zentarou answered as if awakened from a dream. "What are you thinking about?" Jiang Mu Yuzi asked pretentiously. "Hey, don't worry about it! Just eat yours!" "Huh! What a weirdo." Jiang Mu Yuzi said, using chopsticks to pick up a piece of fried carp that was just served and stuffed it into his mouth. Suehiro Zentaro's interrupted thoughts finally returned to Kubo Naoichi of the TV station.That guy is a whiner, and if you push him a little, he will be fooled.There is no way for Kubo to return to the agency, and there is no hope of staying in the TV bureau.This person is from Osaka. Hearing him mutter and complain in a Kansai accent often reminds people of the funny cross talk on TV.Suehiro Zentaro thought of him because he was inspired by Egi Ikuko's telephone headset and the call between Kawakita Director and Marubashi's special agent.The two had talked on the phone in advance about letting Misawa Junko become a TV broadcaster.Therefore, if you want to expand the scope of the "scandal" between Director Chuanbei and Junko Misawa, it is best for Kubo Naoichi to spy on Maruhashi.But I don't know how Maruhashi feels about recruiting Sanze to become a TV broadcaster.Judging from the signs, it was trying to get her.right!It may be more convincing to break through from this point, and then make Northern Sichuan stinky and kicked out of power.Just do it!After careful planning, Suehiro Zentaro seems to have made up his mind. "Hey, Jiang Mu-kun, from now on, you must pay attention to all the calls to Director Kawakita Ryosaku and Misawa Junko, write down the content of the call, and tell me in time." "Hey, okay." Jiang Mu Yuzi wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and replied nonchalantly. This switchboard is very clear.Here she plays a disgraceful role.In doing so, she is no less than a criminal act. "That's all, don't be afraid." "See what you said." "That Misawa Junko, on the surface, pretended to be honest. She used a beauty trick on the North Sichuan Chief at one end, and a young man from the local version at the other end. She was flirting. She didn't look like a woman!" "Are you talking about the local version of Kazuo Kiuchi? Now, the two are watching a movie together affectionately." "To what extent do you think the relationship between the two has developed?" "Well... talking on the phone isn't that intimate." "I couldn't say clearly on the phone, maybe I was afraid that others would hear it, so I pretended to be on purpose. That Kazuo Kiuchi was in the finishing department, and Misawa gave him the wrong photo, but he didn't check it and put it on the page intact. It was published. It stands to reason that Misawa Junko should be guilty of the same crime as him. Unexpectedly, the same sickness and pity pushed the two people together and fell in love." "So, I should be busy, and I have to pay attention to the calls from both parties." "Ah! Please!" "However, I can't sit in the switchboard room all the time. What should I do when I'm off duty? I can talk about important calls when I'm on duty, but I can't do anything when it's someone else's turn." "This is also a last resort." "How about looking for another accomplice?" Jiang Mu Yuzi suggested. "Ah, this can't be done. This will be self-defeating. No matter how good the relationship between people is, there are times when they break up. In that case, we will be betrayed, and it is inconvenient. You should do it alone." Some people may ask, isn't Suehiro Zentaro afraid that Eki Ikuko will betray him?Yes.From the current point of view, this worry is unnecessary.Eki Ikuko had already given Suehiro her body.For both men and women, there seems to be nothing more trustworthy and reassuring.Just having good feelings and intimacy, Miko Zentaro will not be at ease.Suehiro believes that only this relationship between men and women is the strongest bond.Therefore, it is dangerous to induce others to join their plots. "Hey, don't you want to eat less?" Eki Ikuko said looking at Suehiro's barely touched chopsticks and plate. "Well, I don't know why, I don't want to eat." "It's not like you! Why are you so nervous?" "Maybe it is. It has come to me, whether it sinks or floats or loses, it will be done in one fell swoop." "It's okay, can't I help you?" Jiang Mu Yuzi said coquettishly.The eyes under the thin brows were dull and lustful.She stared greedily at the man in front of her.This look meaningfully teased Suehiro Zentaro, Suehiro Zentaro nodded understandingly.In order to hold on to this woman and make her a faithful companion, he must tighten the bond between them again. "Let's go!" Suehiro Zentaro stood up.The woman was flattered and couldn't help following him with joy. After leaving the hotel gate, they walked cautiously on the street at night.A running taxi had just stopped, and Jiang Mu Yuzi quickly got in first. "Where are you going?" the taxi driver asked. "To Shibuya." Suehiro Zentaro replied briefly. Shibuya has a house where they have a secret tryst.Sitting in the car, Eki Ikuko impatiently held Suehiro Zentaro's hand, snuggled into his arms, panting heavily... Junko Misawa and Kazuo Kiuchi walked out of the cinema after watching the movie. "It's rare to invite you to watch a movie, but the movie is not ideal." Walking through the crowd, Kiuchi said to Shunzi.There was a bit of disappointment in his tone. "However, I think it's still very enjoyable." Of course, Shunzi couldn't say that she was too boring, so she replied like this. "If you feel happy. That's great!" Hearing what Junzi said, Kiuchi seemed happier than Shunzi. "I'm a little tired, how about some tea before we break up?" Kiuchi Kazuo said looking at the street lights in the Hibiya area. "Ok." They walked into a tidy tea shop.It was full of people, mostly young men and women, who were going home after watching the movie.After entering, all they heard were discussions about the movie. "It's been a long time since I've had such a good time!" Kazuo Kiuchi said to Sunja with a smile. Shunzi felt that this was a little too much.Kazuo Kiuchi originally said that the movie was not interesting, and when he said "happy", he was obviously referring to being able to be with Shunzi. "Have you gotten used to it at work?" Junko Misawa intentionally changed the subject. "Hey. It's not a good job to get used to that kind of work. Just put together the boring manuscripts sent from the local area and stuff them into the local edition. No one will be interested in those contents." The work of the local edition Compared with the work of the finishing department, Kazuo Kiuchi's words are not unreasonable.This result was also caused by Shunzi's mistake. "As for me, it doesn't matter if I make it lower. I'm really sorry for the ministers and deputy ministers of the two ministries. No one thought that Director Chuanbei would make such a determination to deal with this matter." "..." Shunzi didn't answer. When Kiuchi Kazuo realized that Shunzi was not happy, he hurriedly explained-: "The director is too strict. As usual, the notification will be over. This time the punishment is indeed a bit abnormal." He thought that explaining Shunzi in this way would make him happier, but unexpectedly it added to Misawa's hidden pain. Recently, she has heard a lot of bad things about Director Chuanbei, but for her, she is not at all relieved.Of course, Kazuo Kiuchi didn't know that Director Chuanbei was very affectionate with Shunzi.Ah, not only Kazuo Kiuchi, but other employees of the newspaper did not realize this either.If they found out about Junko Misawa's closeness with Director Chuanbei, they would not know how much sensation and resentment it would cause.As Shunzi, although she didn't feel guilty about anything, the man-made guesses and rumors would bring about many by-products, and what people fabricated out of imagination would be rendered vivid, so as to destroy her.Right now, if Kazuo Kiuchi learns of Junko Misawa's contact with Director Chuanbei, he will definitely think that Junko Misawa has betrayed him. Thinking of this, Misawa Junko was a little melancholy.She originally wanted to decline the invitation from Director Chuanbei. "Hey, should we go back?" Seeing that Shunzi was upset, Kiuchi Kazuo said cautiously. "Hey, it's time to go back." After drinking the iced juice, the two stood up.Seeing Kazuo Kiuchi go to the automatic bookkeeping office to pay, Sunja went out the door first.Outside, pedestrians are still coming and going. "I kept you waiting," Kiuchi said.Just when Kiuchi was about to get close to Shunzi, someone suddenly called him. "Ah, isn't that Kiuchi-kun?" The man who greeted Kiuchi was about 32 or 30 years old, with a stocky build and smartly dressed. "Ah, sorry!" said Kiuchi Kazuo. Seeing Kazuo Kiuchi bowing to the person coming, Sunja thought that this person might be an employee of the newspaper office, so she quietly walked away from Kazuo Kiuchi.The man glared at Sunja. It is impossible for Junko Misawa, who has not been in the data investigation department for a long time, to know all the newspaper staff. "Long time no see!" The man smiled flatteringly at Kiuchi, speaking with a Kansai accent. Kiuchi Kazuo also stood stiffly as if seeing his boss. "are you OK?" "Hey." Kiuchi nodded again. "Have I not seen you for three years?" "Yes, I haven't seen you since you came to the TV bureau." "Sometimes I drop by the newspaper office. I don't know why, but I never meet you. There are some small changes in the newspaper office now, right?" The man sneered. "The news reached Kubo-san's ears too?" "I've heard it a long time ago. Although I work in the TV bureau, I'm still a member of the newspaper office. You can also hear the news from the newspaper office." "I'm really... so sorry." "You're still young, it doesn't matter, it's good to go to a few more places and get familiar with a few jobs." "thanks." "Are you depressed?" "No, not at all." "You don't need to be discouraged. Like me, I'm not much better than you." "Suehiro Zentaro is not like you, he will be depressed. That man is an ambitious guy." "Hey, how are you doing?" Kiuchi Kazuo asked. "Do you still have a female companion?" the man said looking at Shunzi's passing figure. "Sorry to bother you. We will meet later." "Hey." "If there is any news from the newspaper, let us know. How about telling us when you come to the TV company?" "Okay, take care." "Farewell." After the man left, Kazuo Kiuchi caught up with Junko. "Who is that person?" Sunja asked. "Naoichi Kubo, who used to be in the editorial bureau of the newspaper, is now in the TV bureau. This person is very depressed."
