Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 618 Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Building

The next day, 10:13 am.

Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Building.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly is the regional parliamentary organ of the most prosperous economic zone in Japan. All local laws in Tokyo are enacted and gazetted by this agency. Although, it is not the highest level parliamentary organ like the National Assembly. However, as the heart of the country in Japan, the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly is far more important than the general local legislative body.

On the 5th floor of the parliament building, special access.

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion wearing a suit was standing alone in the passage, raising his hand to look at his watch from time to time. He is Ishiwatari. The deputy director of the Shinjuku City Development Committee is also the promoter of the Shinjuku City High-tech Industrial Park project.

Shidu frowned slightly, obviously not looking relaxed. Under normal circumstances, he would not come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Building. Because he is affiliated with the Shinjuku City Development Committee. Even if you want to go to the parliamentary office, you usually go to the Shinjuku City District Council.

However, the reason why he is here is because he was summoned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.

Being summoned by a higher council is not a good thing.

Because it means being questioned.

The so-called inquiry means that the parliament has questions about a certain public project and requires the person in charge of the project or relevant persons to go to the parliament to accept questions from members and specific persons and provide answers.

The process is certainly not friendly.

The so-called inquiry is usually accompanied by extremely fierce criticism.

The opposition usually shows off its skills in questioning, and is keen to make the person being questioned completely unable to stand down.

Shidu raised his hand again and glanced at his watch.

The glass on the watch reflected the face of the deputy director of the Development Committee. The pointer is moving slowly with a small gear sound. The time has come to 10:23. The questioning process against him will begin at 10:40. 17 minutes left.

The reason why Ishiwatari came to be questioned today is precisely because of the many budget expenditure issues related to Shinjuku City. Especially a lot of public works issues. The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly has received many anonymous complaints and materials, reflecting that in recent years Shinjuku City has begun to experience excessive public spending, unnecessary construction projects, and waste.

For example, in preparation for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, the Shinjuku City City Hall plowed and renovated all the vegetation on the main roads in the district. However, the renovated vegetation did not look as good as before, and due to the re-implantation, the entire vegetation belt showed a withered yellow color. s color. At the same time, in order to cover some houses that were in disrepair, Shinjuku City actually built curtain walls on the corresponding viaducts to block the view.

These projects are regarded as wasteful by the public.

The opposition is making a fuss.

However, Ishiwatari didn't care about these problems. Indeed, during his tenure, Shinjuku District's public expenditures increased sharply and many public projects were built. However, it was also during his tenure that Shinjuku District's GDP grew at the fastest rate. Demolish the house and build another one. Although there is still only one house, it has the GDP of two houses. Regardless of the actual situation, statistically speaking, Shinjuku City’s economic data is the best.

This is where Shidu's confidence lies.

However, it would also be a lie to say that I am not worried at all.

What worries Ishiwatari is the high-tech industrial park project in Shinjuku District.

This project is Shinjuku City’s signature project.

It is his greatest achievement.

There is absolutely no room for error.

Previously, Shidu knew that some suppliers in the high-tech industrial park project were dissatisfied with the results of the city hall's bidding and were planning to seek legal action. Ishiwatari has warned these suppliers overtly and covertly through the city hall. If you dare to initiate legal action, you will definitely face the most brutal retaliation.

The representative of those aggrieved suppliers seems to be a man named Hamanaka. Ishiwatari can't remember his name.

After all, the name of the president of such a small-scale club was not worth remembering.

He heard that Binaka visited several law firms one after another, but was rejected by all of them. This is a given. No law firm would want to offend City Hall, especially for these small businesses. It's totally not worth it. With a little weighing, any adult will make the right choice.

However, Ishiwatari felt something was disturbing. Some opponents were making a big fuss.

I originally wanted to take advantage of this project and be transferred back to the Cabinet Office, or to be the secretary of the National Assembly.

However, these opposition parties are making a big deal out of it. The companies settled in the high-tech park are not real high-tech companies. There are irregularities in the land procedures in the park. The subsidy policy is suspected of violating the law. Municipal assets in the park are rented out at low prices. The city hall is suspected of forced apportionment without compensation. The task of building public facilities in the park, etc.

There is no doubt that these hypes may affect his return to the cabinet.

Therefore, Shidu will never allow mistakes.

It must be passed safely.

At this moment, the inquiry process on a certain matter is still going on in the parliament hall. It is said that it is related to the failure of a hospital in Tokyo to protect itself, which may lead to nosocomial infection. Relevant hospital directors and local health agency personnel are being questioned. From time to time, you can hear the loud and fierce criticisms of the members and the submissive answers of the people being questioned.

Waiting is boring.

The wait is long.

However, no matter how long it takes, there will be a moment when the wait ends.

Soon, a secretary appeared at the other end of the special passage. When he saw Ishiwatari, he immediately bowed slightly and walked over quickly, "Mr. Ishiwatari. Next, your questioning process will begin soon. . Please be ready to enter at any time.”

Shidu nodded slightly.

The deputy head of the development committee adjusted his suit again.

He was originally a member of the Cabinet Secretariat. However, due to factional fighting, he was demoted and moved to Shinjuku District. How unwilling he was before. The struggle has nothing to do with oneself, but disaster eventually befalls oneself. Kong has talents and ambitions, but nowhere to put them to use. He can only stay in a small city hall.

He once chatted and laughed with many important people.

But in the city hall, all the people he dealt with were local clerks.

Once upon a time, many big companies were eager to curry favor with him.

Now, it is those lousy suppliers who should demand money from the city hall.

The gap between before and after is huge.

Yes, so Shidu was very unwilling.

Very unwilling!

More than anyone else, he longed to climb again.

Today's questioning process is the first battle of his return!

Ishiwatari thought this in his heart, and took steps toward the hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly...
