Chapter 1030 1038 [He lit a cigarette and talked about the past]

“…”

The air was quiet for a moment.

In front of a group of guests, Chairman Toya felt even more embarrassed.

She shook her head and changed the subject, no longer paying attention to Taniguchi Mika, but turned to Suzuki Sonoko: "I'll go to the office to put down the flowers and get the corresponding contract documents - please wait there for a moment."

She raised her hand and gestured towards the hall - there was a carpeted lounge area with a simple bar on the south side.

Suzuki Sonoko nodded, indicating that she understood that guests were generally not allowed into the work area: "Okay."

Chairman Toya looked at Mika Taniguchi again and said, "Go to the clothing accessories room on the 8th floor and get ready. We are going to shoot those college-style clothes today. The guests have other things to do tonight, so hurry up."

Mika Taniguchi snorted, which was considered as her agreement.

The two walked to the elevator door and waited for the elevator in silence.

Subaru Okiya silently watched their backs, and couldn't help but think of the look of "Uzo" behind the building next door. He raised his hand and pushed his glasses, feeling that something was going to happen today.

…

Because he was worried about something, Subaru Okiya slowed down his pace.

As a result, I happened to hear the whispers of two security guards, who seemed to be talking about Mika Taniguchi.

The younger one complained: "Who would steal the project plan and sell it to a rival company just because they don't want to work overtime? She even asked the team leader to help her erase the surveillance footage, and now a large number of people have left... I don't want to lose my job. If this continues, the company will go bankrupt."

"How can that be possible? It's such a big company." The older one said calmly, "If it really goes bankrupt, the worst that can happen is that I can take the compensation and find another job."

The young security guard shook his head: "It's not that easy to change jobs..."

The older one held the thermos cup and smiled to comfort him:

“Don’t overthink things. How do you know you can’t do it if you don’t try?

“To be honest, my previous presidents were unfortunately killed, and I have changed jobs several times now. Look, I am still alive and well, right?

"In fact, when I first came here, I found that President Toya always asked people to work overtime, and I thought I wouldn't be able to stay here for long. I didn't expect that the employees here have good tempers. They just stole the plan and sold it to the competitors..."

Okiya Subaru couldn't help but glance at them: "..."

He thought that his life experience was rich enough, but he didn't expect that compared with real social people, he was still far behind... Wait, why is it always the president who dies? Could it be that there are actually many people like Wu Zuo in the dark corners of society, or even Wu Zuo's assassination skills are actually some kind of family profession, or a type of job that an organization specially trains for?

"..."Hiss, it was as if he accidentally imagined something incredible.

Okiya Subaru's expression could not help but freeze for a moment. Then he quickly returned to normal, took a few quick steps, and caught up with the other people.

…

Jiang Xia and several classmates came to the rest area and saw a beverage cabinet.

He walked to the side and studied it for a while, then took out a paper cup and took a cup of Coke.

As I turned around while drinking, I saw Mao Lilan looking at the elevator from a distance, looking a little confused:

"They were all going upstairs, so why didn't they take the same elevator?"

"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and looked towards the elevator.

There are three iron doors on the wall over there, representing three elevators.

At this time, President Toya and Mika Taniguchi each got into an elevator and it went up.

"That. Those elevators function differently."

Suzuki Sonoko also came over to Jiang Xia, slurping down her Coke while casually explaining something to her friend:

"I remember there was an elevator for customers that stopped at floors 1-8, one for the president that went directly to the 15th floor, and another that went directly to the 8th floor. It was an elevator that stopped at every floor starting from the 8th floor because the floors above the 8th floor were staff areas and customers could only access the 1-8th floors below."

"..." Jiang Xia looked over there and vaguely remembered something.

At this moment, his eyes flashed and a figure walked up to him.

"?" Jiang Xia turned around and saw his new subordinate.

Okiya Subaru seemed to be hesitant to speak and was trying to decide his words.

After staring at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia put on the attitude of a high school detective and took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"

…

Okiya Subaru wanted to secretly find out why Jiang Xia appeared here today.

Although curiosity kills the cat, he was really curious about whether there was any hidden hand of Uzo in today's experience.

After hesitating for a moment, Subaru Okiya said casually, "I just heard from the chairman that you are today's models - is this also your part-time job?"

Jiang Xia: "..." Did this person just follow in without even understanding the situation? ...Speaking of which, why did Okiya Subaru join them so naturally?

Although I don't mind having another member of the organization next to me, I always feel that something is not right when I think about it...

Jiang Xia looked at Okiya Subaru for a moment, then explained after thinking: "It's not a part-time job, I just came here to help temporarily."

“I see…”

Okiya Subaru pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a little light. Although he looked like a calm scholar, Jiang Xia always suspected that he was doing random reading comprehension in his mind.

As he thought and talked, the conversation progressed very slowly.

Before Okiya Subaru could successfully extract any information, there was a sudden "ding" sound from the elevator.

Someone is coming down.

…

Several people were startled, stopped talking and looked over.

The elevator door that went "direct to the 15th floor" opened with a bang, and Chairman Toya ran out quickly.

She ignored the guests sitting in the lounge area and ran straight to the security guard: "Has Taniguchi left?"

"Ah?" The security guards were startled and shook their heads. "No, no one entered or left the hall just now."

"Really?" Chairman Toya frowned and looked at his phone, wrinkles forming under his eyes. "She answered my call but didn't say anything. I thought she was throwing a tantrum again..."

Several guests heard the noise, put down their Coke cups and walked over.

Jiang Xia looked towards the elevator, his eyes fixed on the display above: "The elevator that Miss Taniguchi took is still on the 8th floor. She probably didn't go downstairs."

Chairman Toya looked back, sighed, walked over and pressed the elevator call button: "Really... I'll go to the eighth floor to check."

However, after waiting for a while, the elevator that went directly to the 8th floor stopped at the 8th floor and did not move at all.

The elderly security guard was startled.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned to press the ordinary elevator next to him: "Let's take this one and see what's going on."

This time, the elevator opened smoothly.

Chairman Toya walked into the elevator, then thought of something and looked back at the guests: "You guys can come along too. The dressing room is on the ninth floor. We can take some photos on the way up so we don't have to make another trip later... Taniguchi may not want to work overtime, so I'll take care of the accessories."
