"Special Minister, news has just come from the Najd Kingdom that the Ministry of the Interior of the Najd Kingdom has just detained President Mikami and all the employees of the local office on suspicion of subversion of state power, and forbade anyone to leave the Najd ......"

"What? When did this happen?"

Kiyofumi Hosokawa, who was woken up by a phone call in his sleep, immediately woke up when he heard the news, and originally expected that President Mikami's personal visit could impress the other party with sincerity, and perhaps turn the Najd Kingdom high-speed rail project, which was hanging by a thread. Who knows, things will rapidly deteriorate towards a situation that is even more unfavorable to the construction of Toshima.

"We received the news from a local lawyer 10 minutes ago, and I believe the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should soon know about it. Now that the president has been forcibly taken away by the other party, if the news spreads, the situation of our Toshima construction will be even more difficult!"

"Joto-kun, immediately inform all the board members to rush back to the headquarters as soon as possible, if we can't find a solution to such a big incident tonight, I'm afraid it will cause even more trouble after dawn. ”

"Hey, I'm here at the headquarters, waiting for your arrival at any time!"

……

After putting down the phone, Hosokawa Kiyofumi found that a layer of cold sweat actually appeared on his forehead, he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and immediately got up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom, and then washed and dressed as fast as he could, Hosokawa Kiyofumi immediately drove away from home.

When Hosokawa Kiyofumi finally arrived at Toshima Construction's headquarters in Chiyoda Ward. At this moment, a small group of staff members who stayed here were busy all night, and the phones in the office rang one after another, but this scene made Hosokawa rush to a burst of annoyance.

"Has everyone arrived?"

"Murakami and Kaneko have already rushed back before you, and the other managers are still on their way, and they are expected to be here in ten minutes!"

Kiyofumi Hosokawa's secretary Joto-kun whispered to him about the situation here, and then led him to the door of the conference room. At this moment, Joto-kun gently pulled Hosokawa Kiyofumi and reminded him with a smile:

"Be careful, at a time like this, you must not be roasted on the fire by others!"

"At this time, where is there time to think about these things!"

Hosokawa was a little impatient to reject Joto-kun's kindness, and then walked towards the conference room.

As soon as the door of the conference room was pushed open, as soon as Senior Managing Director Hosokawa entered, Murakami and Kaneko, who were discussing something worriedly, immediately stood up and respectfully saluted Hosokawa Kiyofumi.

"I'm sorry to call you so late, but things are a bit difficult right now......"

Hosokawa Kiyofumi replied with some apologies to the other two executive directors.

"We understand that something so big has happened to President Mikami, and we also know what kind of situation Toshima Construction will face after dawn. ”

……

Just as Hosokawa Kiyofumi and the other two executive members were discussing countermeasures, the secretary Joto pushed open the door of the conference room again, and immediately after, several other executive members also hurried here.

"Special manager, except for the general manager of Kogi Zeng, who has been killed, everyone is here now!"

"Joto-kun, you just stay outside, and if you need anything, I'll call you in at any time!"

"Hey!"

As the secretary slowly retreated, the door to the conference room was closed. The top managers of Toshima Construction sat in their positions one after another, thinking differently about the bad news they had just learned.

"Everyone knows about President Mikami!"

"Senior Managing Hosokawa, after such a period, how will we explain to the owners (shareholders) and the bank tomorrow!"

"In this case, I'm afraid that the only way to do this is to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to mediate on my behalf."

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do you want to expect those squandering taxpayers' taxes to rescue President Mikami and the members?

"And what do you have to do now?"

"That...... Although it may be cruel to say this, the most pressing issue of the construction of Toshima at the moment is not President Mikami, and when the people from the Central Bank of Tokyo come to the door at dawn, what should we do? Let's just say that we have suffered losses in the investment in the Najd high-speed rail project, and this alone will not be able to explain to all the owners (shareholders) of Toshima Construction.

"Listen to me, now the president is no longer able to perform his duties, and the general meeting of the owners will be held in two weeks, although I don't know what kind of difficulties are waiting for us in the future, but I think we should first elect a new president to lead Toshima Construction out of the current predicament!"

……

When I heard that someone was proposing to elect a successor to President Mikami, everyone present suddenly stopped talking. At such a time, I am afraid that no one will be willing to take on the responsibility of the president. After all, the construction of Toshima is now facing no small trouble. It is a fateful crisis.

"That...... Can I say a word?"

Murakami raised his hand cautiously, and then reminded him with some restraint under everyone's gaze:

"That...... According to the rules for the appointment of President Toshima Construction, if the former president is unable to perform his duties, the chief executive officer can directly take over the duties of the president, so in this case, would you like to take over the position of president directly?"

"This ......"

Hearing that someone mentioned that he would take over the position of president, Hosokawa Kiyofumi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Not only is the current construction of Toshima like a powder keg that may explode at any time, but more importantly, I am so sorry for President Mikami, who has trusted me, to take over the position of president at this time.

"Chief Chef Hosokawa, please don't shirk anymore, if after dawn, Toshima Construction doesn't even have a president who can perform his duties, then it's really shameful!"

"Yes, Hosokawa General Manager, you are the Special Manager of Toshima Construction! If you don't take on the responsibility of leading the company out of the predicament at this time, then who can afford it?"

Seeing that someone pushed Hosokawa Kiyofumi out, everyone present also echoed it with different thoughts, and didn't even give Hosokawa Kiyofumi time to think about it. This made Hosokawa feel very embarrassed.

"That...... Why don't we all vote collectively and raise your hand if you agree to take over as president!"

At the suggestion of one of the executives, the other Toshima construction officials present raised their hands almost without thinking. When Hosokawa saw this scene in front of him, he had an indescribable bitterness in his heart!
