"What is credit? Our Taisho Insurance Company is credit."
"You are so useless. How come you have been in Tokyo for so long and you don't even have a credit card!"
"Now is an era where you are using other people's money to make money! Unfortunately, you are still engaged in the financial industry and you don't even have a credit card. How can you be ridiculous? You must learn to be smarter in the future, otherwise how can you become a branch director? . Is that your goal? A boss like you will make your subordinates laugh..."
After helping Yujiro Sakai apply for a credit card from the bank, Nagase Yasuo regarded himself as Yujiro Sakai's benefactor, and the two of them found a cafe near the bank to rest.
Nagase Yasuo taught the country bumpkin in his eyes without any scruples, without any concern for Sakai Yujiro's face.
However, Yujiro Sakai didn't mind this at all, and just thanked him gratefully.
Especially when he heard Nagase Yasuo mention the term "branch chief", he smiled all over his face and deliberately tried to please him.
He thought that his hard work at work had been noticed by his superiors and remembered.
What Nagase Yasuo revealed was the tacit approval of his superiors to promote him.
But how could he know that his thoughts had been grasped by "Taishō Yamen" like Nagase Yasuo and Ninomiya Hideo long ago.
Everyone among those people knew that as soon as they mentioned the word "branch chief", Yujiro Sakai, who dreamed of being promoted, would turn into a clown who could make fun of him to his heart's content.
Now that Nagase Yasuo said this, he was actually teasing Yujiro Sakai deliberately with his weaknesses.
Just throw a bone and see how the dog wag its tail.
What's pitiful is that Zuo Hai Yujiro's heart has been completely blinded by utilitarianism, and he doesn't even realize how ridiculous and humble his attitude is.
No, after eating snacks at a high-end cafe, under the guidance of Nagase Yasuo, Sakai Yujiro paid the bill with a credit card.
He looked at a pot of coffee, some muffins and cakes, and spent more than 8,000 yen in bills. Just as he felt the pain in his body, he was brainwashed by Nagase Yasuo again.
"Look, how convenient it is to have a credit card. And your JCB card has a limit of two million yen and a lot of discounts. You can enjoy the highest benefits and discounts when you go to many high-end restaurants and cooperative merchants. . This time, we enjoy a 10% discount. You can also bring your own customers here to entertain you in the future. , it will make it easier for customers to feel trustful. Especially if a girl sees your cool and handsome appearance, the girl at the checkout just looked at you for a long time. What a pity. If you got married early, it would be easy to get her. To be honest, do you regret it now..."
Just like that, Nagase Yasuo's words once again hit Yujiro Sakai's itchy flesh, and made his unpleasant pain numb.
So he selectively ignored the other party's bad behavior of using himself as a wallet.
And he didn't realize at all that the card in his hand was actually a trap in the financial industry.
In addition to the convenience of paying bills, he will also be more likely to develop the desire to consume, and will more misjudge his ability to make money. Not only will it be more difficult to reverse financial deficits, but he will also have an easier way to overdraw his money in the future. way.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, and precisely because there is still interest on the debt to be paid today, and he does not want others to know, Yujiro Sakai decided to stop here with Nagase, and did not agree to the other party's invitation anymore, and followed this guy. Hang out playing mahjong.
Otherwise, his financial losses today will definitely expand from eight thousand yen to at least tens of thousands of yen. From this perspective, this credit card is somewhat useful, at least it has avoided some bad luck for him.
"I still have important things to do." After the two walked out of the store, Yujiro Sakai explained with a lie, "There is an important customer who wants to talk about the insurance policy."
"Really? That's a pity." Nagase Yasuo shrugged and could only give up.
But before leaving, Nagase Yasuo gave one last reminder, "Yujiro, don't forget what I asked you to do."
"Of course, I will definitely tell Rinzi that she is already quite old and should consider marriage. It would be very honorable to associate with an elite from Keio University like you." Yujiro Sakai agreed with a smile.
"Hey, you can't say that. Isn't it because Hideo is too arrogant that he made Miss Rinko unhappy? Let's put it this way, I am different from that guy. He is an arrogant maniac. I don't have that bad habit like him. So, please be sure to tell Miss Rinko Obviously, although I graduated from Keio, I have always participated in club activities in the art club. Miss Rinko and I have a common topic in art. I have this confidence, so I ask her to be kind enough to meet me. ”
"Of course, I will try my best. It would be great if we could become relatives."
"Haha, you guy, you just want to be related to me. In that case, I will wait for your good news. Goodbye."
In this way, the two talents finally said goodbye and went in different directions.
However, after leaving, Yujiro Sakai, who had a relaxed expression on his face, quickly changed his expression.
Not only did he look sad, his legs walking towards the station seemed to be covered with cement, and his steps were heavy.
For no other reason than because Nagase Yasuo fell in love with his sister-in-law, it was not easy to ask him to be the introducer.
Last time, he fell in love with Rinko because of the minister of the Second Palace. He tried his best to bring Hideo Ninomiya and Rinzi together, but he failed to please him.
It turned out that both sides were quite unhappy.
Ninomiya Hideo dislikes Rinko's cold temperament, lack of liveliness, and unlike a woman.
Rinko also disliked Ninomiya Hideo as a man who didn't know how to respect women and was empty-headed. He was just a young man who knew how to spend money and was not worth spending time with.
In the end, he became a human being inside and out, and even the Minister of the Second Palace who wanted to curry favor with him did not do so.
The other party was very disappointed. Although he would not blame him for this, the side effects of his incompetence would probably take time to be eliminated.
The key point is that after that wedding banquet, Rinzi seemed to have a prejudice because of Hideo Ninomiya and Yasuo Nagase's remarks about Ning Weimin. She never wanted to have contact with people like them again, and she disliked them very much.
Under such circumstances, if he helps Nagase Yasuo to connect Rinzi again, he may be regarded as an enemy by this sister-in-law.
Even his wife Miyoko might misunderstand him, thinking that he cannot tolerate his wife and sister living together, and wishes that Rinko would get married as soon as possible and move out of the house.
To be honest, he really didn't want to agree to Nagase Yasuo's offer because the success rate was too low.
Nagase Yasuo just feels good about himself. In fact, he is not as good as Ninomiya Hideo. His appearance alone cannot meet Rinko's standards.
But Nagase Yasuo's uncle is the executive director of Taisho Insurance, and his position is higher than that of the Ninomiya Minister.
He has already made the Second Palace Minister unhappy, how dare he refuse again?
What's more, if he still wants to be promoted to branch chief, he must have a high-level supporter at Taisho Insurance.
So it’s difficult. It’s really difficult to do this without breaking the bank.
There is no other way, it seems, the only option is to beg my wife for help.
He only hoped that Miyoko could understand his difficulties and persuade his sister-in-law for him.
In fact, it doesn't matter, as long as Rinzi is willing to be perfunctory and go on a few formal dates.
When the time comes, just say it's inappropriate and don't feel it, and you can give yourself an explanation, and that guy Yasuo Nagase shouldn't be stalking you. If you just do this, you will probably be blamed by your wife again, which will make you feel more and more guilty in front of Miyoko...
Unknowingly, I walked to the station with my heart full of thoughts.
But arriving at the destination not only did not make Yujiro Sakai feel relieved, but the countless people waiting in line in front of the station made his boredom worse.
This was not originally a downtown area, but most people had free time on weekends, making the area that originally only had one shopping mall, two or three supermarkets, and four or five restaurants overcrowded.
In comparison, it seems even more leisurely and comfortable for those passing by in taxis or driving their own private cars on the road.
Especially at this time, a red Honda Civic drove past, with the buzzing disco music playing loudly in the car.
The young man driving the car was wearing a colorful sweater and a denim jacket. He looked like a college student going on a date with a girl.
This made Yujiro Sakai, who was standing in the cold wind, feel a little unbalanced. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed fiercely in his heart while staring angrily at the car driving into the distance.
"Asshole! Why are you showing off! If I see your car on the roadside one day, I will smash your car windows and scratch your car! Let's see how you do then!"
He did not realize at all that his jealousy was shameful and that his thoughts were wrong. He only thought that the world and society were extremely unfair to him.
Originally, he worked much harder than others. He had never been lazy, and he had suffered too much for life. He finally came to Tokyo from the village. Their hometown was only He came here alone.
But why is he still living in such embarrassment despite his hard work, without ever breathing the relaxed and free air or enjoying the pleasure of spending money lavishly?
But now those students are already enjoying a happy life in advance. A newspaper report a few days ago reflected that Japanese college students are experiencing a rapid rise in living standards.
College girls almost always express their consumer desires honestly.
"This Chanel was bought by my father this year. What I want now is my own Mercedes-Benz SL, a Tiffany OPENHEART necklace worth more than 200,000 yen, and a Cartier TRINITY ring worth about 150,000 yen. What I want It’s too much, and it’s really annoying. But if you decide to buy it, you can still afford it. Besides, my hobby is horse riding.”
Listen, when did students become so rich?
This is neither a codification nor a joke, it is real now, and it is a common thought among almost all college girls now.
What boys are more interested in is buying a car, to the extent that it is said that without a car, a boy cannot have a girlfriend.
Rumor has it that college girls and high school girls are ranked according to the brands of cars that line up to greet them after school.
Some magazines also reported that at a certain university in Chiba, someone drove a pink Toyota SOARER to and from school.
As for him, he has never had a car of his own, not even a second-hand car.
Why!
Why can these college students enjoy such things so early? Is this fair?
There must be something wrong somewhere, a social problem.
Otherwise it definitely shouldn't be like this.
Even if, as Yasuo Nagase said, smart people don't have to pay cash, but pay "future credibility," there shouldn't be such a big gap.
At this time, Yujiro Sakai saw several odd-job workers coming to the station, bowing one by one and handing out leaflets to the people waiting for the train.
Because it also came with a small bag of tissues, Yujiro Sakai did not refuse.
He took the flyer and looked at it. It turned out to be an advertisement for a real estate development project. It was located in Sumida District, Tokyo, not far from his residence, but the price was already as high as 3.69 million yen per square meter.
This makes Yujiro Sakai feel a lot more comfortable. After all, he bought his own house early, and the house price alone has increased by 50%. This can be regarded as catching up with the express train of the times and sharing the dividends of the times. .
However, this happy mood did not last long, and was shattered by the conversation of an old couple next to him.
"This house looks good. Should we take a look at it tomorrow? If it's suitable, I'll buy one or two with full payment."
"It's so expensive. An apartment like this costs almost 30 million yen. What are you going to do after spending so much money?"
"Of course it is reserved for appreciation. It is now 30 million yen and will soon be higher. This is called land capitalism."
"How can you be so sure? What if the price doesn't increase again?"
"It's impossible. Just look at how many young people are struggling to get loans to buy houses. Young people need to start a family and start a business. At least everyone needs a house. We don't have to repay the loan. If we buy the house, we can rent it out and collect rent. Maybe in the future. The monthly rent alone is enough for us to travel around the world, isn’t that great? ”
"That's true, but young people today are so pitiful. It might take half a lifetime to buy such a house."
"That's right, it's better for us elderly people to be more comfortable. It's much easier to buy a house with our own savings. Old lady, don't look at those office workers now who are all well-dressed, but if they come up with cash, maybe a few hundred Even ten thousand yen can stump them. They have no other choice but to take out a loan. And we, at least, won’t let the bank suck our blood..."
I can't live this life. I really can't live this life.
Why is it that everyone lives more comfortably than themselves? College students are carefree and squander their youth wantonly.
And the elderly are also enjoying the dividends that time has brought them.
I only have myself, and I seem to be living in the cracks of time.
Even when selling stocks, I was so unlucky that they only rose a little, not even enough to pay the interest to the loan company, and I had to use a credit card to advance the payment.
My life is too miserable. Why is this happening?
And that Ning Weimin, does he no longer consider me a friend?
Is it just because of what happened at the wedding?
This must be the case, otherwise why wouldn’t his new store contact me when buying insurance?
Damn it, this is too stingy, haven't I already apologized, why can't you understand my difficulties!
I really need performance, why are you doing this to me?
Facing the busy traffic and all kinds of people, Zuo Hai Yujiro's mental state suddenly became unbalanced.
When he looked up at the blue sky, he just felt like crying, and he was so sad that he was about to collapse.
He really felt confused, confused and aggrieved.
It would be great if getting a promotion could be like using a credit card to spend money. There would be some way to overdraft in advance.
As long as he can be rescued from such a miserable situation immediately, he will not care about paying some interest... (End of Chapter)
