Chapter 30: The Uninviting Lu...

  Before Lu Zhong rushed to the Wuzhou Hotel for a banquet, he had already gained a general understanding of Mitsubishi Bank's recent business in China. As early as August 1972, before the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, a delegation from the Mitsubishi Group led by the president of Mitsubishi Bank visited China, and this visit became a pioneer in promoting the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.

  In 1979, the Mitsubishi headquarters established a department dedicated to China - the China Department. In 1982, it set up a representative office in Beijing. Subsequently, representative offices were also established in Shanghai and Guangzhou. At the beginning of this year, the Shanghai Representative Office was upgraded to a branch.

  Mitsubishi Bank originally planned to set up an office in Shenzhen as its next target in China, but suddenly changed its strategy and simultaneously started the application work for the Shenzhen office and the Wuxi office, and both were approved at the same time.

  In the submitted materials, Lu Zhong also saw the list of representatives of the five people. The chief representative is Yamamoto Taro, and the representative is Kagawa Atsuko. In addition, there are three deputy representatives, all of whom are Japanese.

  These five representatives and deputy representatives are the management of Mitsubishi Bank's Wusong Representative Office, and the remaining Japanese employees and Chinese employees do not need to be listed in the declaration materials.

  Foreign financial institutions' representative offices in China are not allowed to engage in direct business operations. In name, their main tasks are to communicate with the parent company and the Chinese government and regulatory authorities, gather information and conduct research on the domestic market, and assist the parent company's operations in China.

  In fact, almost all representative offices are involved in market promotion, customer resource development and assisting the parent company to operate specific businesses.

  Mitsubishi Bank Ushiyama Representative Office, should be this model too?

  Lu Zheng was polishing, and the sedan also drove into the parking lot.

  To the east of the Wuzhou Hotel, a small square paved with red bricks served as a parking lot. Next to the parking lot were several residential buildings. Lu Zhong parked his car and walked out whistling, when suddenly a dark shadow fell from the sky. By the time Lu Zhong caught sight of it, the shadow was almost on top of him. In his haste, he jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding disaster thanks to his quick reflexes and exceptional physical coordination.

  “Bang”, the black plastic bag fell to the ground and burst, a foul smell spread out, and several drops of yellowish polluted water splashed onto Lu Zhen's gray Lenin suit. Lu Zhen, who was usually clean and tidy, felt a wave of nausea, squatted on the ground, and dry-retched for half a day. Fortunately, nothing came out.

  A clean and tidy habit was cultivated in the previous life, but it was also brought over. Thinking about it, I had just come down from the battlefield two years ago, and I shouldn't be so fastidious now. On the battlefield, sleeping with stinky corpses was a common occurrence.

  Behind him, the sound of a car horn came, Lu Zhong slowly got up and gave way to the road. Then, he saw the black plastic bag in front of the Nissan sedan. Lu Zhong originally wanted to pick it up and throw it into the trash can, but seeing that the trash bag was splattered with nauseating black and yellow liquid, he hesitated again.

  At this time, the Nissan car door was gently pushed open, and in front of Lu Zhong's eyes, a beautiful woman wearing a light blue professional suit came down from the driver's seat. The fabric felt very soft and high-end, shining under the sunlight, and the light blue suit looked particularly stylish. Sapphire crystal high-heeled shoes supported a pair of white and delicate legs, looking lively and layered.

  Her facial features are extremely delicate, with a slender eyebrow and starry eyes. Her face is as white and tender as condensed milk. Her tall and slender figure is dressed in high-heeled crystal shoes, making her look even more elegant and refined. The tight-fitting fabric accentuates her full bust and captivating hips. As she walks in her high heels, her long legs appear and disappear under the slit of her skirt. This professional suit perfectly showcases the sensuality, toughness, practicality, and delicacy of a white-collar beauty.

  "Excuse me, sir, why are you littering everywhere?!" The white-collar beauty slightly frowned, but her expression was very cute, and although her tone was a bit stiff, her voice was very pleasant to listen to.

  Although her words were very polite, Lu Zhong, who had seen many people, immediately sensed from her the kind of overbearing and intimidating aura that only belonged to a female boss. At the very least, this white-collar beauty should be a serious role in the office, not joking or laughing, one sentence could make the men in the room go from laughter to silence. She was the type who wouldn't joke around, took everything seriously, and made her male colleagues admire her yet keep their distance.

  "It wasn't me who threw the trash." Lu Zhong originally wanted to say that it was thrown down from a window of one of the residential buildings upstairs, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was necessary to explain so much.

  Lu Zhēng was about to go pick up the trash and throw it away, but saw that the white-collared beauty had already walked over, wrapped her hand in a tissue, grabbed the trash bag, and walked to a garbage can more than 100 meters away and threw it in.

  Lu Zhong stood by and waited for her, and when she walked back, he went up to greet her, gesturing with his hands: "Miss, may I borrow a tissue?" As he spoke, he pointed to the bright yellow stain on his Lenin suit.

  Lu Zhong made a gesture because he felt it, this white-collar beauty's Mandarin was slightly stiff, and her facial features had subtle differences from those of the Chinese Han people, possibly a foreigner or a minority?

  The white-collar beauty blinked her delicate eyelashes, looking at Lu Zhong in surprise for a while, and finally, she took out a packet of tissues from the red small bag on the car and handed it to Lu Zhong, muttering something under her breath.

  Lu Zhong heard it was Japanese, but what it meant, he couldn't understand.

  Fortunately, they didn't understand, otherwise Lu Zhong would have gotten angry again. The white-collar beauty was muttering "Unhygienic Chinese!"

  Lu Zhong rubbed the stain on his clothes again and again, until the sound of high heels echoed, and a Japanese beauty stopped her car and got out. Lu Zhong looked at his clothes and felt they were almost clean.

  Lu Zhong had wanted to thank the Japanese beauty, but seeing her face a thousand miles away and brushing past him, the words that had reached his lips were swallowed back.

  The Japanese beauty also walked towards the Wuzhou Hotel, and in this way, the two of them went one after another through the stone path lined with cypress trees, up the steps of the hotel, and into the lobby.

  Even after entering the elevator, the Japanese beauty pressed the top floor 11th floor where Lu Zhong was going to go. The representative of Mitsubishi Bank lived on the top floor. Today's gathering was private in nature and took place in the dining room of Yamamoto Taro's luxurious suite. It is said that a deputy representative of the Japanese delegation is extremely skilled in cooking, and today's dishes were cooked by this deputy representative.

  Seeing the beautiful white-collar woman was also on the 11th floor, Lu Zhong didn't need to press the elevator again. He wondered if she might also be an employee of Mitsubishi Bank?

  Lu Zhong again polished the information of these five Japanese people, Chen San Shui still had a good way to do things, and in less than half a day, he got along well with the bespectacled translator. However, the Japanese were very strict in their work and speech, and they rarely exchanged private matters among themselves. As a result, although the bespectacled translator had followed them for over a month, he knew almost nothing about their personal situations.

  However, Chen San Shui probably heard something about it. For Mitsubishi Bank's headquarters staff, coming to China is a miserable task, just like the mentality of suddenly being assigned to a poor mountain village from a big city in China. Therefore, Mitsubishi Headquarters usually sends employees to China with compulsory orders, promising favorable conditions and high subsidies. Even so, the selected employees still feel that they have reached the end of the world, and some even quit their jobs to find better opportunities in other companies.

  However, this time, an employee of the Mitsubishi Bank Ushin branch volunteered to be transferred to China. She was a female representative named Kagawa Junco, who was also the second-in-command at the Mitsubishi Bank Ushin branch.

  Two Japanese deputy representatives got drunk and talked about Kagawa Junko, and the bespectacled interpreter heard everything.

  Those two Japanese deputy representatives seemed to look down on Kagawa Junko in their words, because Kagawa Junko came from a poor family background. Although she was a top student who graduated from the University of Tokyo, it was already very difficult for her to enter Mitsubishi Bank, and it could be said that she had changed her fate and achieved considerable success.

  If things had developed normally, the possibility of Ogawa Atsuko being promoted again at Mitsubishi Bank's headquarters was very small. Japan is a society where men are respected and women are inferior, and this phenomenon is more pronounced in organizational life. Almost all corporate executives were male.

  And this time in China, Kagawa Junco took the second step to change her fate. She had studied Chinese when she was in college and used it as an advantage to apply for a job in China. After being interviewed by senior executives of Mitsubishi Bank's headquarters, they were very satisfied with her ability and appointed her as the representative of Wushan Representative Office. At just 23 years old, Kagawa Junco also created a small miracle.

  Lu Zheng was polishing the information of this slightly familiar Japanese female white-collar worker, and took a look at the elevator in front of him, the light blue beautiful back shadow, could it be that she is Kagawa Junko?

  Lu Zhong didn't notice the unease on the face of the white-collar beauty caused by his failure to press the elevator floor button earlier, but now the white-collar beauty occasionally uses her peripheral vision to steal glances at him, and when she discovers Lu Zhong staring at her back, there is panic in her beautiful eyes.

  In the "ding" of the electronic sound, the elevator door opens on each floor, and there are fewer and fewer people in the elevator.

  After the elevator on the 9th floor passed by, the last guest walked out, and there were only two people left in the elevator, Lu Zhong and the white-collar beauty.

  The white-collar beauty grasped the small red leather bag strap with force, her joints slightly whitened, clearly extremely tense.

  Finally, with a "ding", the elevator stopped on the 11th floor and the doors slowly opened.

  The white-collar beauty walked out quickly, her footsteps extremely fast. Lu Zhong also came out afterwards. Then, Lu Zhong saw the sign of the men's and women's restrooms at the corner and went over. The stains on his clothes still needed to be wiped with water; using only paper towels really couldn't clean them off.

  The white-collar beauty walked ahead of Lu Zhong, her footsteps getting faster and faster, then suddenly rushed into the bathroom.

  Lu Zheng was stunned because he saw the sign indicating that the beautiful Japanese woman had entered the men's restroom.

  Lu Zhong hesitated for a moment and didn't go in. This floor has few guests, judging from the sound, there is no one inside either. Otherwise, screams would have erupted long ago.

  After waiting for a while, without seeing the woman come out, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel anxious. He coughed and called out, "Miss, miss? Are you okay?"

  There was complete silence in the bathroom.

  Lu Zhong raised his voice and shouted twice, but there was still no movement inside. He looked around, but neither the female guest nor the service staff were present. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhong knocked on the door and said, "Miss, are you okay? I'm coming in. If you're fine, you should be able to hear me, just say something."

  Look at how quickly the girl is walking, could it be acute gastroenteritis? Appendicitis? This can be life-threatening.

  The bathroom was still quiet, so Lu Zhong had no choice but to push open the bathroom door and shout outside, if that didn't work, he would go inside to see what happened to her.

  Who knew that just as he pushed open the bathroom door, a black shadow rushed over and Lu Zhong subconsciously grabbed it, only to find it was a mop. Next thing he heard was a woman shrieking: "Pervert! Catch the pervert! Catch the pervert!"

  Lu Zhong was stunned and his forehead was suddenly hit with a loud "slap", the hard edge of the leather suitcase scraping across it, instantly causing a burning pain.
