Chapter 275: Changes in the Esaki Family
The next morning.
Esaki Group office building, conference room, Bunkyo District, Tokyo.
Naoto Esaki picked up the time and appeared in the conference room at fifty-nine minutes.
Seeing his late arrival, the board members who had been waiting for a long time also showed dissatisfaction.
We can't blame them. After all, the directors here, except for a few directors with foreign surnames, are all members of the Esaki family, and the youngest one is also the uncle of Naoto Esaki.
It didn’t matter that he let the junior sit at the front of the conference room, but the other party was still the last one. He came in swaggeringly, and he was undoubtedly looking down on everyone present.
Of course, if it were on a normal day, everyone would be amused by Naoto Esaki's pinching behavior, and would even tease him about whether he was busy with official duties late at night last night.
The reason why they look dissatisfied now is because their two forces are about to break up, and they are also convinced that Naoto Esaki is not far from defeat.
Once a person shows signs of decline, people who usually flatter you will be impatient to find in you the dignity they lost in the past.
Sure enough, as soon as Naoto Esaki walked to the front of the conference room, and before he even had time to sit down, someone took the lead in attacking.
"Naoto."
The man wearing glasses and with a bald head suddenly asked him: "Shouldn't the person who was almost late express his apology?"
"And why don't you say hello? It's okay to just have a few uncles like us, but this time it's rare for Director Ishikawa and others to be present. Just turning a blind eye would be too disrespectful of the etiquette of our Esaki family, right?"
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Naoto Esaki, who was about to pull out his chair, paused.
Looking at this uncle who usually smiled at me, now he was acting aloof. Even if he was slow to react, he now understood what the other person meant, not to mention Ezaki. Naoto is not stupid at all.
Did you decide to oust yourself from your current position at this board meeting?
No wonder today a meeting of the entire board of directors was suddenly proposed.
After thinking for a while, Naoto Esaki looked at the other party with a half-smiling expression.
"Uncle Hiroyuki is right, but I didn't think well and lost etiquette."
The ending was somewhat beyond their expectations, and Naoto Esaki chose to "submit" without hesitation.
However, this seemingly friendly attitude did not seem to give anyone else in the audience a satisfactory answer.
Another old man in his sixties snorted, and said to Naoto Esaki as if accusing him: "Naoto, you just don't pay too much attention to these details, so you are so connected. Suguha has also lost the excellent upbringing of our Esaki family."
"What kind of brother you have will have what kind of sister. Even if the relationship is not between biological brothers and sisters, it will be inevitable as they get along over time. It has had a bad impact.”
"This is why Suguha is now running away with a man who appeared out of nowhere. You must know that Migui is so angry that she is still in the hospital and can't eat."
These words As soon as it came out, several echoing voices suddenly appeared.
As the primary target of being suddenly accused, Naoto Esaki did not show any panic, but looked at everyone present with a calm look.
This qi-nurturing skill that showed no emotion or anger finally made the voices present gradually become quieter.
Seeing this, Shintaro Furukawa, one of the directors’ representatives whose surname is foreign, also intervened in a timely manner.
"Okay, okay, maybe Naoto is just too tired from too much work."
He helped to help with a smile: "Look at his appearance, the dark circles under his eyes are so heavy, it's obvious that they haven't been there in the past few days. Have a good rest, it's just that you were distracted and didn't say hello. We are all a family, so what does it matter?"
"As for Suguha's matter, it is a private matter between the mother and daughter after all, and we are the only ones here. Don't interfere too much."
These words were impartial and gave the other people present a chance to stop.
However, Shintaro Furukawa changed the topic at the next moment: "However, too much work pressure is indeed not good. If I remember correctly, Naoto's father met his misfortune because of this pressure."
"In addition, I happened to encounter the cooperation of multinational chambers of commerce and a new round of election recently. Naoto may have been dragged down by these things, so I think"
He paused and said as if nothing had happened. : "Is it necessary to re-discuss the matter of personnel services?"
The picture is poor but the vision is clear.
It seems that there is room for Naoto Esaki to step down from his current position without naming names, but combined with the meaning inside and outside the words, it is nothing more than asking everyone to unite to drive Naoto Esaki out of power.
As a group of such a large scale, Naoto Esaki’s status as chairman is naturally not something that can be easily determined. The problem does not lie with their board of directors, but with most of the people present. They are all members of the Esaki family.
After all, this group is named after Esaki, and only these people with the surname Esaki can unite to oust the current Naoto Esaki.
Of course, the premise is that the word "Master" is allowed.
And there is no doubt that they have received the tacit answer.
"After such a big circle, it turns out that I am waiting for you here."
Naoto Esaki also understood what they meant.
However, he unexpectedly laughed. "It's really strange. My appointment as the chairman of the group is not just a matter of a day or two. Mr. Furukawa doesn't worry about it sooner or later. Why would he choose to care about it at this time?"
"Naoto, don't think too much."
Shintaro Furukawa smiled like an old fox, and explained confidently: "It is precisely because we bumped into this time that we saw so many things happening. Only then will I start to worry about your health.”
“Really? I’m really scared,” Naoki Esaki said with a smile.
"What Mr. Furukawa said makes sense."
Seeing someone playing the role of yin and yang, the bald man who fired the first shot felt more confident at this moment.
Looking at Naoto Esaki who was still standing at the front of the conference room, he simply tore off his original disguise and smiled sinisterly: "Naoto should also understand what the family motto of our Esaki family is, right?"
"Your private contact with the congressman made me very worried, so after our family meeting last night, we unanimously decided that starting from today, Takahiro Esaki will be the acting chairman, which means"
He grinned and said: "You can go back and have a good rest for a while."
The moment the words fell, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone looked at Naoto Esaki who had a calm face and said no more words.
There is no doubt that no one in this conference room is standing with Naoto Esaki. After all, Naoto Esaki touches the interests of all of them this time.
Feeling the pleasure of finalizing the overall situation, the bald man's eyes became more and more proud when he looked at Naoto Esaki.
However, before he could ask the other party to go back and have a good rest, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside.
"Who are you?"
"Wait a minute, it is an important meeting time and you are not allowed to enter."
A somewhat panicked male voice came from outside. Shintaro Furukawa listened carefully and then When he found the voice that seemed to be his secretary's, his expression immediately changed subtly.
However, before I had time to think about it, the next moment, the door to the room was pushed open with a bang from the outside.
“Who are you?!”
The bald man suddenly stood up from his chair and yelled at the people who illegally broke into the conference room.
However, the ID that the other party took out from his arms made him freeze in place.
"Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters, Investigation Section 2 Police Inspector Shoshinda Tetsuya." The leader made a brief introduction to himself, and then said slowly, "It is now suspected that the Esaki Group has made a business mistake. , corruption, bribery, commercial fraud and other behaviors."
"Are you kidding?"
After hearing what the other party said, Furukawa Shintaro couldn't sit still at this moment.
I saw him shouting in shock and anger: "People from Kyoto came to Tokyo to arrest people? What reason do you have? Where are the relevant documentary proofs?"
"Yes."
The leader of the police force nodded immediately and asked the people on the side to produce a large amount of documentary evidence, including arrest warrants and other documents.
Furukawa Shintaro just glanced at it and felt his eyes darken.
These documents are all real and valid, and even specify the specific content.
Ignoring the subsequent criminal charges against board members, most of them were related to the Ishizawa family in the Kansai region. The reason was that the other party reported that there was a lot of unhealthy competition within the Esaki Group targeting their business activities.
The number of people involved and the number of accusations made Shintaro Furukawa even feel his scalp numb. What made him even more horrified was that these arrest warrants and other documents were all approved by the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters.
“Are the police inspectors in Kyoto crazy?”
Shintaro Furukawa gritted his teeth and said: “I don’t believe that people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will watch you arrest us and leave.”
“So I have to ask you to cooperate with me and leave Tokyo as soon as possible.”
The police were scoffing at his threat, obviously not intending to take the Kyoto Prefecture Police Headquarters into consideration.
The appearance of such a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water clearly shows that he was ordered by the Ishizawa family and was determined to deal with them, the board members, despite the pressure within the Metropolitan Police Department.
Those who come to arrest them will undoubtedly be subject to administrative punishment later.
But as long as these people return to Kansai, under the protection of the Ishizawa family, they will lose their current jobs at most, and the Ishizawa family will definitely give them greater benefits. report.
After thinking about this, Shintaro Furukawa suddenly fell into despair.
However, what no one noticed was that Naoto Esaki, who was standing at the front of the conference room, was sent out by two plainclothes policemen at some point.
