Chapter 32 Mizuna Yayoi's Growth
Friday, April 26th.
Midosuji still carried a hint of the chill of last night in the early morning.
Kiryu Yaya rode his brand-new Honda Super Cub 50 all the way from Esaka to the Osaka branch of Mitsubishi Bank.
Compared to the past when I would commute for forty minutes every day on a Bridgestone bicycle, my commute time has now been cut in half.
the most important is--
No need to walk into the bank sweating profusely.
This is a great deal of prestige for a bank employee.
Kiryu Yaya parked his motorcycle in the underground parking lot, and after making sure the lock and helmet were in place, he picked up his briefcase and walked into the staff entrance.
As soon as Kiryu Yaya entered the financing review department on the third floor, he could clearly sense that the atmosphere in the financing department was different from yesterday.
Several colleagues from other departments looked up at him, their gazes now filled with scrutiny.
The completion of the procedures for the Shiraishi Refrigeration case, the formal assignment of the financing review department, and the notification from the human resources department—these events combined were enough to make him, a newcomer who had been with the company for less than a month, the most prominent name in the entire Osaka branch recently.
Meanwhile, after last night's welcome party, he clearly felt that the senior members of the financing review department were much more enthusiastic towards him.
Even if they don't say hello when they meet, they'll at least nod.
Clearly, last night's political drinking session yielded considerable benefits.
But Kiryu Yaya did not feel relieved because of this.
in contrast.
The greater the fame, the easier it is to be forced to do work.
As it turned out, his judgment was very accurate.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, Chihaya Yuri placed a stack of documents on his desk.
"Kiryu-kun."
"Yes."
"This execution review form was completed this morning. The post-loan inspection plan for Baishi Refrigeration needs a first draft before the end of the day."
"……yes."
Kiryu Yaya looked down at the thick stack of documents on the table and suddenly missed the days when he first joined the company, sitting in the corner pretending to read the business manual.
Although we were poor back then, at least no one treated him like livestock.
10:15 a.m.
Masakazu Yamada poked his head out of the section chief's office.
"Kiryu."
"Yes."
"This internal document was sent to the sales department, and after Section Chief Takei signed it, it was brought back."
"clear."
Kiryu Yaya took the summons and got up to walk downstairs to the business office.
In banks, the first-floor branch is always more like a battlefield than the third floor.
The sounds of the female clerk at the window greeting customers, the telephone ringing, the printer clicking, and the rustling of slips being turned all blended together.
As Kiryu Yaya walked into the inner area of the sales department, he heard a somewhat impatient male voice coming from not far away.
"Yayoi, send this document up immediately. The client is coming to confirm it this afternoon, so don't delay any longer."
Kiryu Yaya paused slightly in his steps.
The voice came from Tamura, a customer manager in the sales department.
Standing in front of him was Mizuna Yayoi.
Today she was wearing a dark blue vest, the standard uniform of Mitsubishi Bank, her short ponytail was neatly tied up, and she was holding a thick stack of discount application documents in her arms.
If it were Yayoi Mizuna from two weeks ago, she would probably have already started apologizing and then hurriedly did as the other person said.
But after half a month of training by Kiryu Yaya, she has grown a lot.
Mizuna Yayoi held the documents, glanced down at the list at the top, then flipped through a few more pages. After hesitating, she said:
"Tamura-senpai—"
Her voice was soft, but she had already taken a slight step to the side, blocking the way between the documents and the doorway.
"This one...can't be delivered right now."
Tamura paused for a moment.
Why?
Mizuna Yayoi opened the documents and pointed them out to him, her voice still trembling slightly:
"The expiration date for the constraint hand on the list is July 31, but the original copy shows June 30."
"And here, the endorsement stamp is missing a spot. If we send it to the financing review department now, the experienced reviewers will spot these problems, and it will be returned. By the time the client arrives this afternoon, it will be too late to fix it."
Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she could feel the gazes of several colleagues around her on her, and the tips of her ears turned as red as if they were about to burn.
She paused for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if she had used up all the courage she had gathered that morning in this one moment.
"So, if we discover it now, it can be fixed in just a few minutes. I'll call the client to confirm the date first, and then ask you to re-stamp the cut mark. That way, when we submit it this afternoon, it will be complete. It's much faster than... much faster than having it returned."
Tamura looked at her, remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said:
"Alright, Yayoi, let's do as you say."
Just then, Section Chief Takei walked over from the side.
"What's wrong?"
Tamura briefly explained the situation.
Section Chief Takei glanced down at the spot Yayoi Mizuna had pointed out, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
Then he looked up at Mizuna Yayoi and said with a smile:
"Yayoi is quite good."
Mizuna Yayoi was stunned.
Section Chief Takei then looked at Tamura.
"Resend it after making the corrections. The client is coming this afternoon. If it gets returned by the financing review department because of this kind of basic mistake, it will be embarrassing for our sales department."
Tamura looked a little embarrassed, but eventually nodded.
"understood."
Mizuna Yayoi held the documents, as if she had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When she looked up, she saw Kiryu Yaya standing not far away.
Their eyes met briefly in the air.
Yayoi Shuina was stunned.
Then, her face gradually turned red.
Kiryu Yaya didn't go over immediately, but simply nodded slightly to her.
Just then, a semi-transparent interface popped up in front of him.
[New life options have been triggered]
[For the first time, under pressure from the sales department, Mizuna Yayoi remained calm and composed, relying on her knowledge of procedures to prevent a potentially rejected document from being returned.]
She saw that you had witnessed everything; she was nervous and shy, yet secretly hoping for your opinion.
At this moment, you have three choices.
[Fork in the road 1: Publicly praising her: "Yayoi-san, you've already done a remarkable job."]
(Reward: Bank deposit increased by 1 yen)
[Second Fork: Pretend you didn't see it, turn around and leave. Her growth is her own business; you don't need to interfere.]
(Bonus: Bank deposit increased by 5000 yen)
[Branch 3: Tell her during lunch break that she wasn't arguing with her colleague, but rather preventing a mistake from happening to the bank.]
(Reward: Bank deposit increased by 2 yen)
Kiryu Yaya's gaze swept over the three options.
Praise in public?
Given Yayoi Mizuna's personality, she would probably immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Kiryu Yaya shook his head and quickly made his choice.
He didn't go over or say anything; he simply delivered the summons to Section Chief Takei, got his signature, and then turned and left.
Mizuna Yayoi stood there, secretly watching his back.
For some reason, her heart, which had been pounding wildly, gradually calmed down.
