Chapter 1123 1131 [Terrible Weapon]
By the floor-to-ceiling window, the conversation between the two people continued.
President Ohara shook his head helplessly: "How about you reconsider it? Our company actually has great prospects, and we have been working together for such a long time. If you jump to another place, you may not be able to develop better than staying here... Well, if you are not satisfied with the salary, I can increase it."
Aida Toru laughed out loud: "With the company's income, how much can it increase?"
President Ohara said with a lack of confidence: "Performance will definitely improve in the future."
"Okay, don't mention this anymore." Aida Toru raised his hand to interrupt him. "You're old, but I'm not. I don't want to draw flyers for you for the rest of my life. If you keep going like this, my brilliant talent will be buried with you."
President Ohara's face finally darkened and he looked like he wanted to retort, but in the end he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
As if to escape an argument, he checked his watch and stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom."
…
Subaru Okiya silently watched President Ohara walk away, with a bad feeling in his heart.
He thought for a moment, put a cigarette in his mouth, and went to the smoking area near the toilet.
Then he pretended to smoke, but actually took out his cell phone and planned to send an email to Uzo - perhaps his last reply was too official and did not seem sincere, so Uzo kept reminding him repeatedly in some impressive way?
...If I write another apology email, maybe it will help alleviate the current situation.
However, after finishing typing and before pressing send, Subaru Okiya hesitated again.
——There are also some considerations when posting. If the apology is too straightforward and formal, the boss who likes to be a riddler might find it disappointing, so you should find something else that can arouse his interest...
With this in mind, Okiya Subaru deleted the content he had just typed, and half-pretending to be stupid, typed out an email with a more conciliatory tone:
[Your cat came to see me today and took me to a cafe.
Do you have any instructions here? I will do it.]
I originally wanted to send it out like this.
But Okiya Subaru's finger stopped on the send button, and suddenly he felt that this one was not suitable. He was afraid that Usa would reply with something like "Alas, actually I didn't have any instructions, but since you said so, it's not good to let you leave empty-handed - go kill the three people at your table."
“…” After thinking it over and over again, the cigarette in his mouth was almost gone, but Subaru Okiya still hadn’t figured out what to publish. It was more worrying than writing a paper.
At this moment, a head popped up from the side.
Okiya Subaru was startled and instinctively exited the email interface.
When I looked closely, I saw that it was Conan who came over.
Conan gave him a smile that belonged to an innocent child, reached out and pulled him, motioning him to listen carefully.
Okiya Subaru squatted down unskillfully and looked at him puzzledly.
Then Conan asked, "Is anyone trying to harm Brother Jiang Xia? Why did you stop him from ordering coffee just now?"
Okiya Subaru: "!"
Was he that obvious?! How could a first-grade kid see through his thoughts? ... He really wasn't suited to being a traitor. It was right for him to run away.
Subaru Okiya: “…” However, if you think about it calmly, it is more likely that Jiang Xia discovered the problem, but he was worried that someone was monitoring him nearby and it was not easy to ask directly, so he sent Conan to act as a messenger... Yes, that must be the case.
Okiya Subaru was once again moved by the detective's keenness.
It’s a pity that even so, he couldn’t say anything.
…
Subaru Okiya quickly adjusted his mentality and expression, and smiled at Conan: "You think too much. I just suddenly remembered..." In order to prevent everyone from being silenced, after a pause, Subaru Okiya strangled his conscience and decided to let the innocent acting store manager shoulder some burdens that did not belong to him, "I remembered something about this store manager."
Conan's eyes lit up when he heard that there seemed to be a secret: "What is it?"
Subaru Okiya lowered his voice and said, "I often come to this cafe. Usually, a female manager is in charge of the business, but today it was her boyfriend. I heard that this acting manager... doesn't have a good reputation."
Conan was even more curious: "Bad reputation?" Did he knock out customers and steal property? Or did he kill someone and dump the body, but there was no evidence at the time so he got away with it, but afterward there was still gossip about it?
Under his inquiring gaze, Okiya Subaru sighed and revealed the secret: "I heard that when that person meets celebrities and cute girls, he will deliberately spit into their drinks."
Conan: “……?”
Subaru Okiya said quietly, as if he was still frightened: "Once this incident was discovered by a customer, it caused a big commotion, and similar rumors spread. The number of people coming here has been decreasing day by day. But because there was no evidence, the relevant investigation was eventually dropped. Well, you only need to know about this matter, and don't tell anyone else, or you will be sued for defamation."
...I'm sorry, acting store manager. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Before I go to the other side of freedom, I will leave a huge sum of money as compensation, and by the way, create a small program to give the store a high rating.
Conan was stunned.
Xiaobai, who was leaning on Okiya Subaru's shoulder and listening, was also stunned.
"..." Jiang Xia, who received the message, couldn't help but glance at the coffee cup next to him: saliva? No, just now when the fake store manager was making coffee, the ghosts watched the whole process. Originally, they hoped that the store manager would poison it with murderous intent, but he just poured a lot more coffee powder into it.
In that case, why does Subaru Okiya think this cup of coffee is undrinkable?
Jiang Xia seemed to be thinking about something.
At the same time, he thought silently: Fortunately, the manager of this coffee shop is gone, and fortunately Conan is not the kind of bullhorn who likes to spread bad things everywhere... Otherwise, in a few days, he might see the news that "a top student spread rumors about the store and was poisoned to death by the manager."
In order to prevent them from drinking coffee, Subaru Okiya really took a huge risk...
…
Although Okiya Subaru's words were mixed with a lot of water, the effect of his words was immediate.
Conan forgot to ask further questions for a moment, and thought of the juice he had just drunk, his face turned pale: ... Is the adult world so scary? But wait, I am not a celebrity now, nor a "cute girl", so I should not be within the range of the store manager's saliva attack...
Subaru Okiya glanced at Conan's expression and realized that he had gotten away with it for the time being.
Although it seems to hurt the fragile heart of the child, it is better than Conan and Jiang Xia knowing too much and then being physically destroyed by Uzo.
Subaru Okiya patted the petrified child and said, "Go back."
Conan shuddered, and after coming to his senses, he nodded with lingering fear.
The two walked back to their seats.
