"Sister, don't say that. Are we still separated from each other? Aren't we family? What's wrong with me helping my sister and brother-in-law?"
Thanks to Miyoko's pessimistic tone, Kagawa Rinko tried to persuade her again.
“Now that you are married, sister, don’t think about anything else. I know you are also angry. Let me tell you, since my brother-in-law is so ambitious, it’s okay to use the money to support his career. Why stop him? What about him? If he succeeds, won’t it also be your success?”
Who knows that Miyoko still insists on objecting.
"No, no, Rinko. What woman doesn't want her husband to be successful? But let me tell you, what Yujiro thinks is really unrealistic. Yes, in fact, I also know that in the insurance company, from the salesperson It costs at least five million yen to become a branch leader. This statement is by no means groundless, but this game is not something that we children from poor families can afford. Those talented students who graduated from Keio University and Waseda University. The wives we marry are all from well-matched families, and they spend five million yen to get promoted. It doesn't matter whether we succeed or not. But what if we fail? We can't bear the consequences of collapse and huge debt risks. In that case, this is not a risk we can afford. Well, don't persuade me. The trajectory of my life is already like this, and I will never let you ruin my life because of me. This is not a risk we should take.”
Kagawa Rinko was speechless.
At this moment, I don’t know why I remembered what Ning Weimin said to her after her sister’s wedding a few months ago.
“Happiness does not mean the same thing to everyone.”
“A person can only have independent personality if he has an independent income.”
“It is career that gives Men have the power to rule the world, and their career can also give women freedom..."
At first she thought those words might not be entirely correct, but after seeing her sister's appearance today, she no longer doubted them.
Yes, if a woman ties her life to a man, it is as unreliable as tying her life to a kite!
Even Yujiro, who has always been gentle to his sister, actually has such a arrogant side.
My sister was really blinded by love at first.
If she was not married, how comfortable would it be for our sisters to live together with our current income?
Why suffer such grievances?
Thinking about it, Rinko Kagawa suddenly had an idea. She felt that she could at least find a way to alleviate her sister's financial problems.
"Oh! By the way, sister, if you are not willing to use my money, how about I arrange a part-time job for you? Two thousand yen per hour, you can come and benefit from 9 am to 1 pm every day Wendang Bookstore is here to help. Are you willing?"
Miyoko didn't expect her sister to suddenly bring up such a topic, and her sudden turn of thought stunned her.
Rinko Kagawa was counting the benefits of this part-time job for her.
"There are only four hours a day, and there are not many guests in the morning. If it doesn't delay you from doing housework, my brother-in-law won't know about it."
After doing the calculation, Miyoko was really tempted to earn 160,000 yen a month. .
But she thought for a while, and still had concerns out of moral sense.
"How come temporary workers are paid two thousand yen per hour? The bookstore belongs to President Ning. If you take care of me so deliberately, it will harm the interests of the bookstore. Isn't that bad? President Ning needs to know How can we face him? He has taken good care of us? I don’t want him to lose trust in you because of me..."
I didn’t expect that my sister would take care of us. Ning Weimin made such considerations, and Kagawa Rinko quickly explained.
"No, no, it's not like that. Sister, you probably didn't know it after you became a housewife. It's hard to find temporary workers now, and the prices are basically the same now. So Huiwentang Bookstore has been busy because there are few customers in the morning. The reason for the lack of trustworthy people is that they have to arrange at least two employees per shift. But it is different for you. If you are willing to help, it will be a good thing for the bookstore at least. , It can also save one person’s employment costs and receive more guests. President Ning would be happy if he knew about it.”
“If this is the case, then I would be willing to give it a try. Rinzi, when can my sister go to work? "
"Well, how about starting from tomorrow? Although tomorrow is the weekend, my brother-in-law doesn't stay at home much recently. I have a day off tomorrow, so I can accompany him for two days. Come with me. Let me familiarize you with the environment and work process, okay?” Please take care of me.”
“Don’t say that, sister, do you want me to blush?”
Seeing her sister finally bursting into laughter, Kagawa Rinko finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, she lied and hid some tricks in this matter.
Because even now there is a shortage of labor. However, temporary workers used to cost only 800 yen per hour, but now they have risen to the level of 1,200 yen to 1,400 yen.
She only said that to help her sister.
Of course, she would not let Ning Weimin suffer.
In fact, what she thought was that she could just use her own salary to make up for her sister's expenses.
But then again, even though Ning Weimin didn't know it, the sisters would still think of Ning Weimin in their hearts anyway.
Because without Ning Weimin, without his trust, without his bookstore.
Then they are helpless in facing the situation before them.
Being able to meet President Ning is definitely the luckiest thing for them in Tokyo.
This is undoubtedly the unspoken consensus among the Kagawa sisters.
…………
When a person is sad and sad, there is someone who can sincerely comfort himself. This is definitely good for physical and mental health and a good thing to release negative emotions.
However, Yujiro Sakai, who felt that his self-esteem had been trampled on and left home angrily, was not as lucky as Miyoko.
No one around him can do this for him the way Kagawa Rinko did to Miyoko.
Therefore, not only on the way to the company, he was still angry.
So much so that today he did not use the help of a "subway pusher" and only relied on his own brute strength to squeeze onto the subway, prompting many passengers who were unfortunate enough to be in the same carriage with him to wail in dissatisfaction.
(Tokyo, Japan, the crowded subway gave birth to a new position - "pushers", their task is to help passengers squeeze into the subway)
It was he who came to the company, and his day The working status of the company is also carried out without a smile.
And his abnormal state, shown by his frown, was observed by his subordinates.
On this day, all the sales staff under Yujiro Sakai spent their time in fear and trepidation.
Especially at six o'clock in the afternoon, when a group meeting was held to summarize the day's performance, these people turned into a group of cowardly mutes.
No one dares to take the initiative to call their target customers one by one. They all say "Oh, sorry, we haven't decided yet
", "Let's talk about it next month", " I'm sorry, I chose another company" and other bad news to their team leader.
In the end, it was under Yujiro Zuohai’s repeated questioning that several salesmen plucked up the courage, hugged each other for warmth, and gave him unsatisfactory feedback together.
Needless to say, Sakai Yujiro must be full of dissatisfaction, and the long-suppressed anger finally found a way to vent.
He broke out on the spot, and his subordinates immediately became his punching bag.
"Asshole! What do you want me to report with such a result! Is it so difficult to sell insurance? If this continues, our group will become a joke to the company. I tell you, starting from tomorrow, You have to work harder for me and achieve results at all costs!"
However, it is undeniable that these subordinates are different from him.
Because they all have the attitude of doing it if they can and leaving if they can’t.
No one really intends to dedicate everything to Taisho Insurance Co., Ltd. like him.
“Team leader, we can’t blame this entirely. In order to let the client take time to go for a physical examination, I almost kowtowed and knelt down with the client. It was hard to get the client’s consent, but the client hinted at me and said that he I like whiskey. But even cheap wine like Suntory Red Label costs money. You know, I have spent my own money to give gifts to three customers, but I have only signed one policy, and I am still far away from getting the commission. For a while. I really can’t afford it anymore, so I have no choice but to give up.”
“Team leader, we have worked hard enough, but we definitely can’t do it on our own. You also need to give us some support. In order to win over customers, many other groups are holding marketing activities to develop new customers. For example, a reception for celebrity speeches should be held in a certain hall of a super five-star hotel. '. It also comes with a full dinner, which costs an average of 15,000 yen per person, which is super luxurious. However, the guests are all high-income groups such as doctors and tax consultants, and they will pay for any insurance policy. One hundred million yen. If you join us, you can have such an opportunity. Of course, these people can use them as a breakthrough point to sell.”
The male salespeople began to complain, and the psychological endurance of women was even more fragile. I can't bear much grievance at all.
He actually said to him, "Selling insurance is not like picking apples. There are apples on the trees waiting for you to pick. Even if you say that to me, I can't help it. Forget it, forget it, anyway, my family You don’t expect me to support your family. If you are so dissatisfied, then I won’t come tomorrow..."
In the end, it was Yujiro Sakai himself who felt the biggest headache.
Of course he knew in his heart that the excuses and excuses of his subordinates actually made some sense.
Those team leaders with good family backgrounds, in order to strive for performance, know how to use their family background to create sales opportunities for their groups, and they are also willing to use money as a tool to assist.
But can he? He doesn't have a rich and powerful father.
In addition, he really cannot treat his subordinates with oppression like his boss did.
If the situation really comes to the point where subordinates resign, the boss must blame his subordinates for the high turnover rate.
I think he lacks the ability to guide...
Damn it, this life is really impossible.
It’s hard to have money but no money, and no one to help you!
In short, Yujiro Sakai spent an extremely bad day in a very depressed mood. His whole world turned gray today, gray-white during the day and gray-black at night. He really couldn't figure out how to improve his performance as soon as possible and avoid being scolded by his boss at the end of the month.
For this reason, even though he got off work early that day and walked out of the company at eight o'clock, Yujiro Sakai, who didn't want to go home right away, still went to the izakaya, trying to relieve the performance pressure on him by getting drunk.
However, he does not understand the principle of "drinking makes you sad and your heart becomes even more sad".
The wanton and indulgent drinking not only failed to give him the pleasure he desired, but instead made him feel even more miserable.
When he walked out of the izakaya, he was half drunk and did not feel that his negative emotions were released, and the tightness in his chest was still accumulated.
On the contrary, this uncomfortable feeling made him seem to have fallen into a quagmire that was difficult to move forward.
Under the neon lights, he staggered forward. He was exhausted, but he had no idea how to break through the bottleneck of his career and whether his future could shine again.
Sakai Yujiro couldn't understand that compared to many of his peers, he was already good enough.
When he was less than thirty years old, he was promoted to team leader at Taisho Insurance.
In addition to buying his own house in Tokyo, he also married a gentle and virtuous wife.
Even the company's remuneration and bonuses continue to rise.
Obviously he should be a winner, but why doesn’t he even have 30,000 yen in his wallet now?
Because he was short of money, he was unable to provide his subordinates with the help they needed.
He doesn’t dare to accept the invitation to play golf with a client tomorrow.
Or play mahjong with Hideo Ninomiya, Yasuo Nagase and the others.
He didn't even have the guts to take out a 10,000-yen bill and call a taxi home.
How did he, who is considered an elite in the insurance industry by others, become such a loser when he works hard every day?
To be honest, he actually envied those team leaders who had family connections and financial support.
Not only do they have an advantage in developing customer resources, some people also make a lot of money through stock market investments.
So, for them, life has entered a virtuous cycle.
On the other hand, he himself found it difficult to move forward due to lack of money.
How ridiculous, now even hard work requires money to achieve results!
He is a team leader, but now even his wife looks down on him, and he can't even suppress his subordinates.
Everyone dared to openly oppose him, and probably they were still laughing at him secretly.
Money! money! money!
That’s right!
The key to everything points to money!
What he lacks most is money!
This society is really an unfair society!
It is too difficult for children from poor families.
Just because there is no support and no money, it is difficult to pursue your ideals and accomplish anything.
If he had sufficient funds at hand, based on his work ability, he would be able to grab the position of branch chief.
He does not believe that the leaders of other groups can surpass him in performance.
Don’t those people all rely on having a good father?
That’s cheating, what kind of skill is that!
Thinking of this, Zuo Hai Yujiro sighed deeply, his eyes full of despair.
Nothing else, he regrets now that he discovered this problem and understood this truth, it seems too late.
I really made a wrong step.
If he had bought a smaller house, or not bought a house at all, but invested all the money he earned in the stock market...
Then...then now he relies on the stock market With the money you earn, you can handle everything with ease, right?
Maybe if you can get promoted smoothly and buy a house with the money you earn, why would you still worry about the monthly mortgage payment like now?
Yes, it must be like this, if you want to be on the road to success.
He just lacked a sum of funds that he could use freely.
It was his own fault. He did a wrong multiple-choice question at the most critical moment.
He was extremely certain about this.
However, the trajectory of life is so unpredictable.
At this moment, when Zuo Hai Yujiro was walking towards the subway station, an advertising flyer suddenly blew to him by the wind.
Originally, he took it casually and wanted to throw it away.
But it was so strange, and he didn’t know why he glanced at it before throwing it away.
As a result, at this glance, I unexpectedly found an opportunity to solve my own problem, a turning point in my destiny.
"One phone call! Direct payment of 200,000 yen in cash!"
"Cash delivered to your doorstep, only for more than 100,000 yen!"
"Apply by phone and the loan will be released! Second time Apply for direct bank transfer!”
“Loan within 3 million yen, no income certificate is required!”
In addition to these eye-catching titles, the name of the company is written in the most conspicuous position of the flyer. ——"Takefuji! A cash store that will never let you down!"
(The founder of Takei Fuji, Yasuo Takei, requires his employees to bow to his photo every day when they go to work and recite aloud his famous aphorisms)
This is... is this an advertisement for a personal consumption loan company?
After distinguishing it for several seconds, Yujiro Sakai stood up straight and shook his groggy head before he understood the contents of the flyer.
He remembered that he had not only seen TV commercials, but also seemed to have seen the company's street advertisements there.
(Takefuji’s TV commercial)
It should be a powerful and formal company. I heard that the service is good and the interest rate is not high.
Have you seen it there?
I can't remember it, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, he still remembers that there seems to be a sales department of this company on the street corner in front.
You might as well go and take a look. If you can really lend money smoothly, why not?
From now on, there is no need to beg your wife for money or look at her face.
Thinking of this, Yujiro Sakai, who had been depressed for a day, finally felt a little positive.
He had never considered taking out a loan shark and now he was really tempted.
And he thought that maybe there really were gods in this world, and maybe it was because the gods heard his voice that they gave him such a reminder.
So he decisively changed his plan to take the subway home. Instead, he burped happily and continued walking towards the road in front of the station with a vague expectation and hope.
At this moment, Yujiro Sakai has no idea how far this leaflet he accidentally obtained and paid attention to will lead his life astray.
He doesn't even know that once something starts, bad luck will come.
Even he didn't know that it was actually behind him, on the roof of a building.
The Takefuji LOGO on that flyer is emitting the brightest light at night in a huge neon light pattern.
It seems to be enough to light up half the night sky!
However, this kind of brilliance and brilliance seems somewhat ungracious and majestic because the frequency of shining is too fast.
Rather, it looks like a deceptive monster looking down at all living beings, blinking and snickering because of his trick.
