Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

"Excuse me, I'm looking for your Minister Nohara, is he here?"

Meiya stopped a middle-aged man coming in and out and asked with a polite smile on her face.

"You are the Minister's..."

The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and looked at Meiya seriously, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Yellow-faced woman."

Xiao Xin said seriously on the side.

"Shinnosuke, shut up!"

Meisai frowned and glared at Xiaoxin fiercely.

"You are Xiao Xin, I didn't expect you to be this big already."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, his eyes full of emotion.

"Hey, you actually know me."

Shin-chan was a little surprised and tilted his head with his eyes wide open.

"Of course, since you often came to the company to play when you were a kid. You two go sit over there for a while, I'll go and invite Director Nohara."

The middle-aged man led the two into the lounge and then walked towards Guangzhi's office.

Along the way, many employees who had worked in the company for many years recognized Mei Ya and stood up to greet her politely.

The lounge has a sofa set and a TV.

"Meiya, do you think they are weird?"

Xiao Xin sat on the soft sofa, scratched his face and said puzzledly.

"What's so strange about this? Your father is a minister now. Isn't it normal for him to be respectful to us?"

Meiya shook her head and said seriously.

"It turns out that Dad is already so powerful."

Xiao Xin nodded thoughtfully, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

A portly, middle-aged man in a brown suit opened the door of the lounge and walked in.

"Hey, that Kawaguchi kid."

Xiaoxin's eyes lit up and he recognized the man in front of him.

"Mr. Kawaguchi, it's been a long time."

Meiya stood up with a look of surprise on her face.

"Mrs. Nohara."

Kawaguchi smiled and nodded to Misae.

"Kawaguchi, you are still unmarried and don't have a girlfriend. Why are you here?"

Shin-chan blinked, tilting his head slightly as he looked at Kawaguchi curiously.

"Xiao Xin, not being married and not having a girlfriend are redundant descriptions."

Kawaguchi sighed helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

"Kawaguchi, you're not married yet? You'd better hurry up. You're already in your thirties. Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

When Misae learned that Kawaguchi was still single, she immediately kindly urged him on, her eyes full of concern.

"I will work hard……"

Kawaguchi said with a sad face.

"No, no, that's not what I'm here to talk about today."

Kawaguchi quickly shook his head and looked at Misae seriously.

"Ma'am, did you take anything you shouldn't have?"

Kawaguchi said to Misae with a serious face and a frown on his face.

"What do you mean by something you shouldn't take?"

Misae frowned slightly and looked at Kawaguchi in confusion, her eyes full of confusion.

"On your way to see the minister, did anyone give you anything?"

Kawaguchi suddenly lowered his voice and spoke softly, looking nervous.

"Yes, the receptionist downstairs wanted to send something to my mother."

Xiaoxin quickly raised his hand and spoke excitedly.

"Ma'am, you didn't accept it?"

Kawaguchi said nervously, his eyes fixed on Misae.

"No, no, I left before I even got it. What happened? Isn't this normal? Why do you look so nervous?"

Misae frowned and looked at Kawaguchi in confusion, her face full of puzzlement.

In Japanese society, gift-giving is very popular to build relationships. For example, people may bring souvenirs to neighbors when they return from a trip, or it is common to give gifts to a boss when he or she moves to a new home or gets married.

"Things are different now. It's fine as long as you don't accept it. If you do accept it, you must give it to me immediately and I will return it to you intact."

Kawaguchi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Misae didn't accept it, and the tension on his face gradually disappeared.

Shortly after Kawaguchi left, Hiroshi opened the door and came in.

"Meiya, Xiaoxin, why did you come to see me?"

Guangzhi said in a somewhat strange tone, with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's all because of you, such a careless guy. Where is the plan that we promised to have? How come it's placed neatly on the table on the second floor?"

Miya rolled her eyes at Hiroshi and took out a leather briefcase from her bag and handed it to him.

"If this is the plan, then what is that packet of papers I picked up from the shoe cabinet?"

Guangzhi scratched his head in confusion, frowning.

"That's my treasure. I'm going to send the Adventures of Fatso Saemon to the publisher. Where did you put it, Dad?"

Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi anxiously.

Because Misae kept asking him to find a job, Shin-chan thought about becoming a cartoonist himself, so he prepared to send Chubby Saemon to the publishing house.

"I see. Fortunately, the meeting hasn't started yet, otherwise it would be terrible. Thank you, Meiya."

Guangzhi breathed a sigh of relief with a hint of fear, then hugged Meiya with some emotion.

"Hiroshi, stop hugging me, give me my chubby Saemon."

Xiaoxin said to Guangzhi anxiously, his eyes fixed on Guangzhi.

"It's in my office, go get it yourself."

Guangzhi said to him with some amusement.

Xiaoxin rushed out of the lounge.

"By the way, husband, what's going on in your company now?"

Misae blinked in confusion and told her what Mr. Kawaguchi had just told her, her face full of confusion.

Misae still clearly remembered that she and Hiroshi had once given a gift to the company's section chief to congratulate him on his move to a new home.

How come when her husband got promoted, he is not allowed to accept gifts anymore? There is really no benefit at all, and all the troubles have not decreased at all.

Meiya sighed with some heartache and frowned slightly.

"This is a long story. Do you know how I became the minister?"

Guangzhi said with some sigh, a look of emotion on his face.

Meiya shook her head. She only knew that her husband had been promoted to department head, but she wasn't quite sure how he got there.

"It was because of the gift-giving that I was able to get promoted because I pulled down a minister."

Hiroshi said while looking at Misae seriously with a serious expression.

"But isn't that what everyone does?"

Meiya said with some confusion.

Giving gifts is a very common thing in the whole society, why is it in their company... Meiya had a puzzled look on her face.

"It was possible before, but the old president retired and sold the company to someone else. The current president is Xiaoxin's sister. She is such a strong woman. She doesn't care if you are a veteran or a contributor. She set rules for everyone on the first day of work. Don't take things you shouldn't take, and don't do things you shouldn't do."

Guangzhi sighed, a helpless look on his face.

"That minister ended up like this because he didn't pay attention. This is truly the era of the young."

Guangzhi said with some relief, his eyes full of emotion.

"Okay, I understand, husband, I will definitely not take anything."

Meiya also understood the seriousness of the matter. She nodded repeatedly to assure him, with a determined look on her face.
