Chapter 2660

The one they went to was opened by a Japanese person here. The food was authentic, the shop decoration was very good, and the environment was also very good. Of course, the price was also very expensive.

Ono Taro asked for a large private room and ordered a lot of sake, as well as many expensive dishes. He ordered several portions of sashimi and lobster sashimi. Even if he had signed a big order in the past, he wouldn't have been so extravagant, but today he was so generous.

This made the subordinates feel uneasy. Was he not planning to live anymore?

Ono Taro was in high spirits, frequently urging his subordinates to drink. He also called for many hostesses. He sat with them in his arms, laughing loudly and unrestrainedly, and told his subordinates to let go and enjoy themselves.

Under his leadership and the effect of alcohol, the subordinates finally let go. They also laughed and drank wantonly, occasionally grabbing the hostesses beside them. The screams of the girls and the wild laughter of the men alternated in the room, making them feel as if they were in Japan.

If they were in Japan, this scene would be common. Every night, Japanese restaurants and izakayas of all sizes would be like this.

This drinking session lasted until the early morning. Almost everyone was dead drunk, and then they helped each other back to the hotel. The restaurant owner even specially sent someone to send them back to the hotel.

The bank that lent money to the Ono Corporation formally filed a lawsuit in court, hoping that the Ono Corporation could repay the long-overdue loans and interest on time. Once the news came out, the stock price of the Ono Corporation plummeted on the stock market.

This day, Ono Taro held a newspaper with a report on the sharp drop in the Ono Corporation's stock price and sat in the room for a long time. Then, he went to his father Ono Kiyohira's room and stared blankly at his father, who already had dementia, for a long time.

Subsequently, Ono Taro drove alone to the Ono Corporation building. This building was built when the Ono Corporation was at its most prosperous. At that time, Ono Taro was in his prime and ambitious, wanting to make the Ono Corporation the best machinery manufacturing enterprise in the world.

Who would have known that the Ono Corporation would become like this now?

Ono Taro took his private elevator to the top floor, the eighteenth floor, where his office was. After entering the office, he took a bottle of sake and drank it. When he was tipsy, he opened the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the beautiful sunset in the sky, spread his arms, and jumped down from there...
