"Is it that bad?"
The traditional trading company from the Showa era, Gorooka Shoji was facing bankruptcy!
After the death of Masatoshi, his son Masashi has leaded the company into deficit.
The wealth acc.u.mulated over three generations has been completely lost.
This was all the result of Masashi"s poor management.
Even the top level management was disgusted by him.
But they could do nothing but bear him, as he was the last member of Garooka Shoji.
The only reason the company lasted so long after Masatoshi"s death is due to Ohashi Bridge, president of a large company. He was brought up by Masatoshi.
"Mr.Ohashi, is there no other option?"
Even at home, Ohashi did no have any pride in his luxurious items.
Masashi desperately pleaded by forcing his forehead against the expensive Persian carpet.
"Mr.Tataoka, it’s impossible for you. I think that it was good enough that you managed to reach this far"
"Please, just give me one last chance!"
"Actually, Mr.Matsuda of the Daikokuyo bank is supposed to come here today"
Masashi said
Ohashi had a strange smile on his face. But as if Masashi could not understand it he quickly reverted back to his same old tone.
"Are you sure Mr.Takaoka?"
Masashi could not hear him.
He overflowed with tears thinking about the loss of Garooka Shoji, which had been working for more than 50 years.
After his last desperate effort Masashi lost his voice unable to speak out.
The atmosphere turned silent, and awkward.
Within the awkward room time slowly pa.s.sed.
Finally, the door slowly opened.
"Mr. Matsuda!!!"
Masashi ran towards the door
"I"m sorry, Mr.Ohashi. I contacted Mr.Matsuda"
"I got late, Mr.Takaoka, Ohahi"
Masashi was surprised to see Mr.Matsuda wearing a really high-end costly suit,
At this time Matsuda and Ohahi sent secret signals towards each other.
But this was gone unnoticed by Masashi.
For Masashi, Matsuda looked like a G.o.d of salvation.
But he didn"t know that he was actually the messenger of The Devil.
The person that would lead him to his destruction.
