Chapter 56 All Night Long
Small meeting room.
The whiteboard was pulled out.
Four markers were placed on the table.
Kiryu Yaya stood up and wrote several large characters directly on the whiteboard—
"The Miyazawa Group Rokko Case"
Then, with a turn of the pen, four lines were drawn.
"Line A: Colluding public and private accounts."
"Line B: Guarantee, Authorization, and Legal Structure."
"C-line: Differences in bank credit lines, loan extensions, and external explanations."
"Line D: Meeting minutes, timeline, and solidified evidence."
Kenta Sasaki was still reeling from the huge blow of his peers becoming acting directors.
But when he saw Kiryu Yaya write those four lines, he couldn't help but raise his head.
Too composed.
Kiryu Yaya's behavior is nothing like that of a newcomer who has only been with the company for less than a month.
Putting aside his appearance, his demeanor was just like that of the head of their logistics department.
Kiryu Yaya turned around and began to call out names and assign tasks.
"Yayoi-san."
"Yes, yes!"
Mizuna Yayoi immediately straightened her back.
"You draw line D."
"Re-file all public documents, confidential accounts, meeting minutes, notes, and letters of appointment in chronological order. Mark the legal terms and seals in red, the amounts in blue, and the dates in green."
"Focus on two things: First, compile a complete timeline; second, list out all the seals, signatures, and authorization points that have appeared."
Mizuna Yayoi's eyes lit up.
Red, blue, and green color coding system.
This is what Kiryu Yaya taught her at noon.
"clear!"
"Arima."
"Um."
"You'll work on Line B."
"Go through everything: letters of appointment, board authority, guarantee authority, cross-guarantees, and the board or shareholder thresholds that may be involved in share pledges. I need a list of things that Miyazawa Hara cannot theoretically bypass Miyazawa Keiko."
Arima Kishou adjusted his glasses.
"clear."
This is precisely where he excels.
"Sasaki."
"……exist."
Although Kenta Sasaki had not fully recovered from the blow, he subconsciously responded.
"You'll work on line C."
"Go to the financing department, business department, and general affairs department, and retrieve all the existing ledgers, credit balances, extension documents, and guarantee documents for the Miyazawa Group, Miyazawa Tourism Development, and Rokko Golf Development that you can currently access at our bank. For those that you can't access, note down who has the card."
"In addition, create a timeline chart of funds between Sumitomo Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Daiwa Group's short-term loans, and internal advances."
Kenta Sasaki was taken aback.
"Me alone?"
"I think you're good at running."
"...Is that a compliment?"
"Calculate."
"Then I accept."
Finally, Kiryu Yaya pointed at himself with the pen in his hand.
"I'll be in charge of the overall control of Line A."
"The public and private accounts should be separated by subject, month, and funding gap. All hidden liabilities, off-balance-sheet advances, fictitious prepayments for construction projects, and delayed accruals should be brought to light."
"Chihaya, the department head, will be there to make corrections."
Chihaya Yuri stood to the side, not interrupting, but calmly adding after he finished speaking:
"There's one more thing."
The three of them immediately looked up.
"Everyone, report your progress to Kiryu every thirty minutes."
"Don't wait until the last minute to speak up."
"If you can't do it, ask immediately."
No one has the right to act tough tonight.
"The results must be out before midnight."
The three nodded in unison.
"Yes."
The group has officially started.
Mizuna Yayoi was the first to move.
She quickly sorted, flattened, and labeled the stacks of materials.
Her movements were fluid and natural; she was no longer the little girl who used to scatter documents all over the floor at the elevator entrance.
Arima Kishou then spread out the letter of appointment, organizational summary, and meeting materials, took out a pencil, and wrote tiny but very clear annotations in the margins.
Kenta Sasaki grabbed a stack of documents and rushed out of the meeting room.
"I'll go to the sales department! I'll go to the general affairs department too! Anyone who tries to stop me today, I'll—"
"What do you mean?"
Arima Kishou asked casually from behind.
Kenta Sasaki paused.
"I politely asked him to cooperate."
"very good."
Chihaya Yuri stood at the door, listening to their movements, her gaze gently falling on Kiryu Yaya.
She originally thought that it was somewhat radical of the branch manager to temporarily assign him the title of acting director.
But looking at it now—
This newcomer actually managed to take control of the situation.
Simply incredible.
……
7:20 PM.
The small conference room has been completely transformed into a makeshift war room.
The whiteboard was covered with sticky notes.
The ledgers, ledgers, credit summary, minutes of the briefing, board member list, and account discrepancy table filled two entire tables.
Kiryu Yaya sat in the center, with the public curtain on his left and the private curtain on his right, and an A3 sheet of white paper in front of him.
He had already drawn a densely packed diagram of the flow of funds on the paper.
Rokko Golf Course Development.
Miyazawa tourism development.
Sumitomo Bank.
Mitsubishi Bank.
Yamato is a short loan.
Internal replacement.
Members receive advance payments.
Each arrow leads to another hole.
Each hole was barely covered up by other loans and guarantees.
This is no longer a business operation.
This is a classic example of robbing Peter to pay Paul, ultimately leaving the entire building teetering on the brink of collapse.
7:40.
Kenta Sasaki rushed back carrying a large stack of documents, his hair disheveled by the stuffy air in the corridor.
"Got it!"
"The Miyazawa Tourism Development's credit line with our bank, its current balance, the most recent guarantee update summary, and an internal review report from last autumn!"
He slammed the documents onto the table with a clatter and took a breath.
"However, the general affairs department is holding up an old seal change record, saying that the section chief needs to sign it."
"Make a note of who put the card on it."
"I've got it."
"very good."
Kiryu Yaya didn't even look up, and said directly:
"Go to the debt management department again and get their internal opinions on the asset classification of the Miyazawa tourism development. If you can't get the full text, just copy the summary."
"...Going again?!"
"You're good at running."
"Thank you so much."
Despite saying that, Kenta Sasaki still grabbed his notepad and rushed out again.
Mizuna Yayoi watched this scene and whispered:
"Sasaki-kun... He's noisy, but he's really hardworking."
Arima Kishou didn't even look up:
"He probably wants to win it back from somewhere else."
Yayoi Mina didn't understand:
"Huh?"
Arima Kishou shook his head.
"unimportant."
It's exactly eight o'clock.
Mizuna Yayoi completed the first version of the timeline.
From Chairman Miyazawa's serious illness to Akio Uesugi's reassignment, to the increased frequency of the Rokko extension meetings, to the drafting of the letter of appointment, and then to this morning's briefing.
She marked the entire timeline very clearly with red, blue, and green.
Kiryu Yaya picked it up, glanced at it, and nodded:
"Well done."
Mizuna Yayoi's ear tips turned red instantly.
"Thank you."
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
……
8:30.
Arima Kishou finally looked up and handed over a sheet of paper filled with annotations.
"The issue of the letter of appointment is not just about full authorization."
"The problem is that the authorized person can sign any necessary documents related to financial institutions on their behalf, and there is no limit to this 'necessary'."
"Furthermore, if the fixed payments of the Miyazawa Group and the reserved matters of the boards of directors of its subsidiaries are not strictly implemented, he can even use his proxy authority to sign off on guarantees, additional guarantees and extension documents that should be decided separately."
"What's even more troublesome is—"
Arima pushed up his glasses.
"If the shares of the Zong family have indeed been pledged, then from a legal perspective, it is very likely that subsequent supplementary signing, ratification, or implied acknowledgment will be required."
"In other words, this letter of appointment is both a delegation of power and a receiver of responsibility."
Kiryu Yaya took it, read it once, and nodded slightly.
"very good."
Just then, Kenta Sasaki rushed in, holding up a rapidly copied summary.
"The debt management class only lets me copy documents, not bring the originals!"
"They actually added Miyazawa tourism development to their list of priority areas at the end of last year, but because there weren't any major apparent problems with cash flow, they didn't upgrade it!"
After saying that, he turned around and rushed out again.
There was a brief moment of silence in the small conference room.
Arima Kishou adjusted his glasses and commented casually:
"This guy is a bit noisy."
"But it's still somewhat useful."
Mizuna Yayoi nodded gently.
"Um."
While doing her own tasks, Chihaya Yuri observed all of this.
She had been worried that having the four newcomers together would only result in a chaotic all-nighter.
But looking at it now—
There is chaos.
But efficiency is more important.
Moreover, the core of this efficiency is neither luck nor a momentary burst of enthusiasm.
It's the kind of terrifyingly calm and meticulous planning that Kiryu Yaya has.
He knows what each person is suited for.
Arima and Sasaki, these two college classmates, are usually one cold and the other lively, and neither of them really respects anyone else.
But now, the two of them have unconsciously started to follow Kiryu's rhythm.
This scenario—
Even Chihaya Yuri was momentarily surprised.
This guy really doesn't seem like a newbie.
