Chapter 2637-2649 [Hashimoto Maya's failed interview]
With extremely complicated emotions, Hashimoto Maya quickly sent the group of people off the island and decided to stay as far away from the rude interviewer as possible to avoid any sudden incidents happening to her.
"Failed the interview?"
While Maya Hashimoto was making herself coffee in the lounge with a worried look on her face, there was a slight click from the door and Mrs. Sakihara walked in.
Hashimoto Maya looked back at the lawyer's wife who had lost her husband and sister by her own strength and nodded: "Their professional quality...I'm afraid it won't satisfy my boss."
——Building Haixin Island is not an easy task. In addition to a large amount of financial and material resources, it takes a lot of time just to go through the procedures.
Perhaps he felt guilty, or perhaps he thought his island-building life was too dull, so a while ago, Uzo gave him a colleague - the seemingly gentle and virtuous lawyer's wife.
Faced with a colleague who appeared out of nowhere, Hashimoto Maya maintained the highest level of politeness while being extremely vigilant.
Fortunately, for the time being, this lawyer's wife is not difficult to get along with and is not very aggressive. After discovering Hashimoto Maya's huge workload, she also helped share some of the work based on the principle that she might as well have nothing to do.
"This lady seems to be unaware of Uzo-sama's identity, and is not a member of the organization. In this case, she should not be included in Uzo's horrible 'last-place elimination' ranking."
Hashimoto Maya expressed sympathy for this unfortunate woman who had strayed into a wolf's den, but he thought about it and decided to ask, "Do you know any magicians?"
——Although lawyers and magicians seem to be two completely different professions, but if you think about it, magicians are also human beings, and humans make mistakes. Maybe a great magician has accidentally injured a colleague during a performance, so he has to hire a lawyer to defend him... Uh, but can this guy with flawed operation be accepted by Uzo? Even if he is hired, how long can he be used?
Mrs. Sakihara saw that Hashimoto Maya was hesitant to speak. She laughed but did not expose her. She only said, "I'm sorry, I was not a professional lawyer before. None of the lawyers I know have ever received a commission from a magician."
Hashimoto Maya sighed, looking disappointed.
"But I do know why your advertisement didn't work." Mrs. Sakihara flipped through the newspaper in her hand. "This island will become magnificent in the future, but it is not yet completed. So in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a construction site in a special location.
"If the salary is too low, we won't be able to hire high-quality magicians. If it's too high, people will think you're a joke or a liar. So why don't you wait until the island is completed before hiring?"
"Well..." Hashimoto Maya recalled the words used by Uzo in the email and his attitude towards recruiting a subordinate, and said carefully:
"My boss doesn't seem to like sharing things with others. Rather than magicians who travel around, he probably wants professionals who can stay on the island permanently. There are probably not many excellent magicians who meet this requirement. If I don't find one soon, I'm afraid it will be too late by then."
"Is that so?" Mrs. Sakihara was a little surprised. "That makes it even more difficult. A famous magician probably won't be willing to stay on this island, and it's hard for someone who can agree to such a request to meet your recruitment requirements."
Hashimoto Maya wiped her face silently: "..." Stop talking, stop talking, my head hurts even more.
"But it's not completely impossible." Mrs. Sakihara laughed, "Just like in the legal profession there is a master-apprentice tradition, and many elite lawyers are trained by their masters - the same thing must be true in the magic world."
Mrs. Sakihara said, "The famous magicians will not accept your conditions. In this case, why not go find their disciples? Some of them actually have superb skills that are no less than their masters, but they just don't have a stage to show themselves, and they are even deliberately suppressed by their masters who are jealous of their talents. If we agree with such people on a deadline and take them to look forward to the future development prospects of this theater island, some of them will definitely be tempted and join us."
Hashimoto Maya: “!” It seems... to make some sense?
In any case, this method is at least more reliable than continuing to post advertisements in newspapers.
"But how can I find apprentices of those famous magicians?" Hashimoto Maya subconsciously picked up her phone and searched for keywords. "It's not difficult to contact the magicians themselves, but if some people are unwilling to give apprentices a chance and hide good seedlings, I won't be able to find them..."
As she was thinking, Hashimoto Maya suddenly had an idea: "I remember that at magician's special shows, apprentices are usually sent to warm up the show or serve as assistants... If I go directly to the magic show, won't I be able to find someone?"
Hashimoto Maya had an idea, and he stood up again. He searched for the latest magic shows in Tokyo, and soon his eyes fell on a huge advertisement.
——Xinghe Tongwu fantasy magic show.
"Hoshigawa Dougo." Hashimoto Maya looked at the handsome face on the poster and muttered to herself, "This magician looks good, and his stage name sounds nice too. It seems that he should be in line with Uzo's aesthetics. It would be great if we could get him here, but unfortunately..."
He slid his finger across the page, flipping through a long list of flattering descriptions of Xinghe Tongwu: "Unfortunately, this guy is quite famous and has a lot of fans. I'm afraid it will be difficult."
After a brief moment of regret, Hashimoto Maya quickly booked a ticket and then began to pay close attention to the sporadic introductions to other young magicians on the web page.
…
There is more than one person who booked the ticket.
On the other hand, some high school girls did not miss this star-like magician.
"Ding ding!" On the way home from school, Suzuki Sonoko happily took out a few tickets and stuffed them into the hands of Jiang Xia and Mao Li Ran. She also gave one to Conan who was following behind. "This is the biggest fantasy magic show in Tokyo in recent months! - I must use my sharp detective eyes to see through their tricks at a glance!"
"Magic show?" Mao Lilan took the ticket and saw the magician printed on the ticket. She exclaimed in surprise and then touched her autograph book excitedly. "It's Xinghe Dougo! I wonder if I can get his autograph after the show."
Conan held the ticket in his hand with a look of disgust, and at the same time secretly glared at Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Just look at the handsome guy, you say it so high-soundingly, and you even want to drag Xiaolan into it... Haha, Teitan Junior High School still has too little homework.
