Chapter 17: Kirihara Soji's Past
"Tsuchiya-senpai!"
"You ......"
"I'm sorry, but I'm Miyuki Morino, who works at the Natural Environment Bureau of the Ministry of the Environment, and I took the liberty to come here to inquire about the application conditions for the Ecological Agriculture Support Fund!"
"Huh...... Ministry of the Environment?...... I'm sorry, but you're ...... Kirihara-senpai introduced you!How are Kirihara-senpai lately?"
"Hey, thanks to you, he's been working at the Ministry of Justice for a while now!"
……
Standing on the road in front of the METI building, Miyuki Morino recognized at a glance that Soji Kirihara had talked to him about the former junior of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Tsuchiya Ryuya. Although he said that he was a junior, the other party was now also in charge of the Economic and Industrial Policy Division of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, so Miyuki Morino did not rush to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to inquire about him directly, but waited quietly for the other party to appear on the road leading to a well-known soba shop in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry as instructed by Kirihara Soji, but ...... Judging from Ryuya Tsuchiya's reaction to himself, it seems that the other party has also learned about himself from Soji Kirihara.
"Ah...... By the way, have you already had lunch?"
"Not yet, I wonder if I can treat you to a light meal by the way?" I heard...... You like the soba noodles at the shop in front of you, and you don't get tired of eating them every day in the summer!"
"Ah...... I really didn't expect that Kirithara's predecessors would even tell you about it, and you haven't asked for advice...... Your relationship with Kirihara-senpai is ......"
"We ...... We are the same class that passed the national civil service examination together, because we all have similar interests, and occasionally we sit together and have a drink like this!"
"Oh...... So that's it...... Let's talk as we go!"
“……”
Maybe it's because of the first meeting!The conversation between Miyuki Morino and Ryuya Tsuchiya is inevitably a little awkward. If it weren't for the fact that the guy from Kirihara Soji was too face-loving and unwilling to let the previous juniors see his current downfall, Miyuki Morino would never come forward for him.
When the two came to the soba shop while chatting with each other, Tsuchiya Ryuya also learned something about Kirihara Soji from Miyuki Morino, and Miyuki Morino also had a general understanding of Tsuchiya Ryu.
"I didn't expect that you and Kirihara-san were both colleagues in the Economic and Industrial Policy Division!"
"There...... There...... At that time, I was just a subordinate and junior of Kirihara's seniors...... Alas...... It's a pity that Mr. Kirihara's abilities could have been better developed in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. If it weren't for that...... Maybe Kirihara's predecessor has now entered the minister's cabinet as a deliberator!
"Huh...... Big...... Minister's Secretariat?"
"Ah...... It turns out that he hasn't talked to you about it! That's right, it's all in the past, maybe Kirihara's predecessors haven't let go of the original incident until now!"
"That...... Can you please ask what happened back then that led to Kirihara's resignation from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry?"
"This ......"
Hearing Miyuki Morino ask about the events of Kirihara Soji back then, Tsuchiya Ryu couldn't help but be a little worried.
"I'm sorry, I only knew that Mr. Kirihara would leave the Ministry of Economics, Industry and Industry because of an extramarital affair, but the specific situation ...... I don't know!"
Hearing that Miyuki Morino actually knew about this, Tsuchiya Ryuya no longer had the same worries as before. So he lowered his business and whispered to Miyuki Morino:
"Mr. Kirihara's former wife is actually the daughter of the current Vice Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, so until now, I can't understand why such an excellent Kirihara predecessor would do such a thing!"
Hearing that Tsuchiya Ryu also told the inside story of the year, Miyuki Morino couldn't help but be a little silent. Thinking of the various ridicules that everyone made about Kirihara Soji before, it seems that Miyuki can hardly compare the current face-loving megalomaniac with the promising elite bureaucrats of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry that Tatsuya Tsuchiya said. After all, almost all of them know how difficult it is to become an elite bureaucrat in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
When Miyuki Morino and Ryuya Tsuchiya talked about the current situation of Soji Kirihara, the two gradually shifted the topic to Miyuki Morino's true purpose. So Miyuki Morino asked Tsuchiya Ryuya about the application conditions for the ecological agriculture support fund.
"Mr. Tsuchiya, this is actually the reason for this. A friend of mine and Mr. Kirihara wants to run an ecological coffee plantation in Ethiopia. Mr. Kirihara was aware of the Ministry of Industry and Economic Development's policy of providing financial support to similar companies, so he ...... I just want to help the other party consult about the specific situation of this matter. Yes...... Although they are friends, they have a very good relationship on weekdays, and the other party participates in the economic and trade exchange activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Ethiopia. So, I'll have to do it on my behalf!"
"Oh, excuse me...... Could it be that this ecological coffee plantation you are talking about is located in Ethiopia?"
"Hey! That's it!"
"I'm sorry, but can you let me think about it first......
Hearing the other party's words, Miyuki Morino couldn't help but ask with some worry:
"Eh, is it too much for you, Mr. Tsuchiya...... I'm sorry!"
"Ah, no! you misunderstood me, what I meant was ...... In order to invest in eco-coffee plantations overseas, you can apply not only for the ecological agriculture support fund, but also for the overseas resource enterprise support fund from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry...... But for the specific details, I'm afraid I'll have to go back and consult with the colleagues in charge of these things!"
"Overseas Resource Enterprise Support Fund, may I ask about this...... What does that mean?"
"This ...... In any case, we are still a country with extremely poor resources! Especially agricultural products like coffee, although there are some areas in China that can be produced, but in terms of scale and output, they cannot be compared with foreign coffee countries!"
"However, on the one hand, our domestic coffee resources are extremely poor, and on the other hand, Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of coffee sales, because our domestic production cannot meet the huge demand market, so we have to lose a lot of foreign exchange in the coffee trade every year. In addition to this, there are some related tax exemptions, capital subsidies and other policies, so ...... It is difficult for me to simply answer the question you asked. ”
