Chapter 29



Previous: >>252111036 →



At a suburban Tokyo villa Shima, Fukuda, and Usabi were meeting with Hatsushiba Chairman Hatsutaro Yoshihara to show him and discuss a new line of calenders for the upcoming year. He liked them and Shima's explanation of the them being "evergreen" as he felt that it resonated well with older folks like himself. However, Fukuda advised Shima not to show up for an invited round of golf with the chairman as it would be seen as upstaging Usabi. Usabi and Fukuda showed up at the villa the next day only to find that Yoshihara had passed away and they decided to spring into action... by enlisting Shima in a complicated plot that involved taking 100,000 shares of Hatsushiba stock from Usabi's safe and exchanging them with an equal amount held by a woman, then taking them to the securities exchange and telling them to sell them after opening in the morning.



The next morning everyone was in an uproar with the Chairman's passing was announced and Shima was still bothered by what happened yesterday. After sleeping with the woman, Yoko Tsumoto, from the day before (a hostess who had once been close with Usabi), Shima enlisted Kogure to figure out what the whole deal was. Kogure told him that she was lovers with a Diet member named Taneyama and those stocks in her name were really his hidden assets. Usabi and Fukuda exchanged his stock for Taneyama's, then sold them off prior to the announcement and when the stock inevitably fell they would then buy it back for cheap making a nice profit when it eventually recovered. This, of course, was insider trading and as Shima had no desire to be an accessory to white collar crime, he refused a payment from Fukuda and Usabi, the first time he'd directly refused one of his superiors.

Both of these guys are going to be important. Tomabechi is more or less the antagonist of this entire arc to pick the new permanent president and Kino is going to be here until the end of the series.

The calm before the storm, I suppose. Next time we'll find out whether Usabi or Oizumi becomes the new vice president.

Thank you anon

Been a while since we saw her.

Shima being an actual parent, pigs do fly.

Shima's interactions with his daughter are some of my favorite moments in this series

Shima is self aware. 

Plus being boss man would leave him with less time to slut around.

Red flag here.

Clever little brat. 

Its a shame she has to be clever.

Thanks OP

Good downtime.

>Plus being boss man would leave him with less time to slut around.

Given the other older men and higher ups I'm not so sure.

DONT DIE YET SHIMA SAN!!!

AIDS diagnosis came in?

a cure will come soon, shima san! the brightest doctors on the planet are working on it! just hold on a little longer!

Oh, Shima actually keeps his promise to his daughter this time! 



Thanks OP.
