  Chapter 1038 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 Towu was even more embarrassed.

She shook her head, changed the subject, and no longer talked to Taniguchi Mika. Instead, she turned to Suzuki Sonoko: "I will go to the office first to put down the flowers and take down the corresponding contract documents - please wait over there."

She raised her hand and gestured to the hall - there was a seating area with carpets and a simple bar on the south side.

Suzuki Sonoko nodded and expressed understanding. Guests are generally not allowed to enter the work area: "Okay."

 Chairman Toya looked at Mika Taniguchi again: "You go to the clothing accessories room on the 8th floor to prepare. Today we are going to take pictures of those sets of college-style clothes. The guests have things to do in the evening, so move quickly."

Taniguchi Mika snorted and agreed.

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

Okiya Subaru looked at their backs silently, and couldn't help but think of "Uzo"'s gaze from behind the building next door just now. He raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, feeling that something was going to happen today.

 …

With something on his mind, Subaru Okiya slowed down his steps a few steps.

As a result, I just heard the muttering of two security guards. They seemed to be talking about Mika Taniguchi.

The young one was full of complaints: "Who would steal a plan and sell it to a rival company just because they didn't want to work overtime? She actually asked the captain to help her erase the surveillance, and now a large number of people have left... I don't want to lose my job. So If we go on, the company won’t go bankrupt.”

“How can it be possible? It’s such a big company.” The older man was quite Buddhist. “If it really goes bankrupt, at worst, I can just take the compensation and find another job.”

The young security guard shook his head: "How can it be so easy to change jobs..."

The older man held the thermos cup and comforted him with a smile:

“Don’t think about things too complicated. If you don’t do it, how will you know you can’t do it?

“To be honest, my last few presidents were unfortunately killed, and I have changed jobs several times now. Look, am I still living a good life?

"Actually, at the beginning, when I came here, I found that President Toya always made people work overtime, and I thought I wouldn't be able to work for a long time this time. I didn't expect that the employees here were all good-tempered, but they were just secretly planning projects and selling them to rivals... "

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

He thought his life experience was rich enough, but he didn't expect that compared with a real social person, he was still far behind... Wait, why is it that the president always dies? Is it possible that there are actually many people like Uzo in the dark side of society, and that Uzo's assassination skills are actually some kind of profession passed down from family, or a type of work specially trained by an organization?

  “…” Hiss, as if he accidentally thought of something extraordinary.

Okiya Subaru's expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment. Then he quickly returned to normal and took a few quick steps to catch up with a few other people.

 …

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

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

 While drinking, he turned around and saw Mao Lilan looking at the elevator from a distance, seeming a little confused:

“They all go upstairs, why don’t they take the same elevator?”

 “Huh?” Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and glanced towards the elevator.

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

At this time, President Toya and Mika Taniguchi each entered one, and the elevator went up.

“That’s right. Those elevators have different functions.”

Suzuki Sonoko also came to Jiang Xia’s side, drinking Coke while casually giving her friends some popular science:

"I remember that there is one elevator for customers that stops on the 1st to 8th floors, one is the elevator for the president that goes directly to the 15th floor, and there is another elevator that goes directly to the 8th floor and stops normally on every floor starting from the 8th floor - because the 8th floor The above is the employee area, and customers can only enter the floors 1-8 below."

“…” Jiang Xia looked over there, vaguely remembering something. At this moment, out of the corner of his eyes, a figure walked next to him.

"?" Jiang Xia turned his head and saw his new subordinates.

Okiya Subaru seemed to be hesitant to speak as he was speaking.

 Looking at each other for a moment, Jiang Xia assumed the attitude of a high school detective and asked proactively: "What's wrong?"

 …

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

Although curiosity killed the cat, he was really curious about whether Uzo's dark hand was behind the scenes during today's experience.

After hesitating for a moment, Okiya Subaru 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 get together with them so naturally?

Although I don’t mind having another member of the organization next to me, when I think about it carefully, I feel like something is not quite right...

Jiang Xia looked at Okiya Subaru for a moment, then thoughtfully explained: "It's not a part-time job, just a temporary help."

 “That’s it…”

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

While thinking and talking, the conversation progressed very slowly.

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

 Someone is coming down.

 …

A few people were startled, stopped talking and looked over.

The door of the elevator that "goes directly to the 15th floor" opened with a bang, and Chairman Towu ran out quickly.

 She ignored several guests sitting in the lounge area and ran straight to the security guard: "Is Taniguchi gone?"

"Huh?" The security guards were startled and shook their heads, "No, no one came in or out of the hall just now."

"Really?" Chairman Toya frowned and looked at his mobile phone, the wrinkles under his eyes bunched up. "She answered my call but didn't say anything. I thought she was losing her temper again... "

Several guests heard the commotion, put down their Coke cups, and came over.

Jiang Xia looked at the elevator and her eyes stopped on the display screen above: "The elevator Miss Taniguchi took is still on the 8th floor. She probably has never gone downstairs."

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

However, after waiting for a while, the elevator that went straight to the 8th floor was fixed on the 8th floor and did not move at all.

 The old security guard was startled.

After hesitating for a moment, he turned to press the button for the ordinary elevator next to him: "Let's take this one and check out the situation."

This time, the elevator opened smoothly.

Chairman Toya walked into the elevator, thought of something, and looked back at the guests: "You guys can come too, the clothing room is on the ninth floor. I just happened to take pictures on the way up, so as not to have to make another trip later... Taniguchi may be If you don’t want to work overtime, I’ll sort out the accessories.”
