Misawa Junko walked out of the newspaper office with a heavy heart. Although Hanoi Mitsuko comforted her like that, it did not relieve her mental pressure at all.However, as Mitsuko said, because of the accident, Minister Suehiro Zentaro and Deputy Director Kanemori Kenkichi were transferred from the Research Department, which made the atmosphere in the Department much brighter and clearer.From this point of view, everyone is glad.However, this was always due to the punitive personnel changes caused by her own work mistakes, and it was difficult for Shunzi's mood to reconcile with the joy of her colleagues in the ministry.

"Every time I come to work, I feel dull and overwhelmed." Mitsuko Kawachi's words rang in Shunzi's ears again. "As long as the two of them are away, I don't know how happy I feel. I often think that these two people would be better off dead! Now thanks to you, this wish has finally come true. Not only me, but also colleagues think so. Therefore, starting tomorrow, you must come to work happily." This is how Hanoi Mitsuko comforted Sunja.Although what she said was all the truth, it couldn't soothe Shunzi's heart.Shunzi knew that this accident not only affected the investigation department, but also the sorting department, especially Kazuo Kiuchi, who took the photos, was relegated to the sorting room of the local edition, which was even more disturbing.The sorting work of the local editions cannot be compared with the work of the sorting department of this newspaper.Often, newspaper clerks refer to it as the "postmark office."As the name suggests, they only know how to put rubber stamps "Bada, Bada" on the county names of the report manuscripts sent by the Communication Departments of various places.In short, they all think that their work is simple and meaningless.Judging from Kazuo Kiuchi's previous situation, after the official announcement, he must have become more decadent.

Sunja was thinking while walking.Suddenly, she heard someone calling her from behind.Shunzi turned her head to see that Miss Lin Tian from the reception room was walking towards her with a smile. "Are you going home now?" the beautiful Lin Tian asked her. Lin Tian was 5 years older than Shunzi, and was admitted to the newspaper office 4 years earlier than Shunzi.Normally, when Shunzi met her, she would just nod her head and seldom say anything.Today, the other party took the initiative to talk to her. "How about it? Don't you want to have a cup of tea?" Lin Tian invited.

Although Shunzi was not very familiar with Lintian, but the other party specially invited him, it would not be good to decline.So I went into a tea shop near the station with Lintian.Shunzi thought to himself, it would be good to have a cup of tea to adjust his mood. "Have you heard anything interesting?" Lin Tian said with a smile on his long face, "How about listening to me talk about something else?" Lin Tian didn't wait for Shunzi to express his opinion, and talked about many jokes and rumors inside the newspaper that had nothing to do with the newspaper and were interesting.Since she works in the communication room, she knows many things about the newspaper office like the back of her hand.Needless to ask, she must also know the circumstances of the accident.Now that he knew it, he specially invited Shunzi to drink tea, which showed his intentions.It's good intentions from a homosexual point of view.

"When I first started working, I would definitely encounter such and such things. At the beginning, I thought of resigning when something happened to me! Gradually, I got used to it and became sophisticated. Now I am numb to doing stupid things, and I don't care. The surroundings Everyone seems to be like this, maybe they influence each other. What they said: If we are fired, let us go around looking for jobs with resumes, it would be really troublesome. Looking for a job, I don’t want to get paid too much In the taverns and bars, it is enough to pass the day in a daze. In this way, year after year, I don’t care. It seems that it is better to be in a big institution!"

From Lintian's conversation, Shunzi felt that Lintian was worried that Shunzi would resign and look for trouble, so he tried every means to comfort her.It can be imagined that Lintian and Hanoi Mitsuko are very good friends, and it is likely that Hanoi Mitsuko entrusted her, or she may have proposed it on her own initiative.What a warm-hearted man! After Lintian finished his tea, he continued to comfort Shunzi and said: "It's really worrying to see you looking so sad. How about watching a play and entertaining yourself?" "Watching a play?" "Yes. Actually, I happen to have 5 theater tickets in my hand, and I'm worried that I can't deal with them. It's easier to deal with 3 tickets, but I can't help with 2 tickets! If it's convenient, who can you invite to see it? ?”

It can be seen that Lin Tian is not necessarily dealing with theater tickets, but intentionally arranges for Shunzi to go to the theater to relax.Lin Tian really knows how to deal with it.Shunzi is not completely uninterested in dialogue dramas, but in today's state of mind, he has no interest in going to those places at all.It's just that she felt that Lintian's "handling of theater tickets" was really a ulterior motive, and she couldn't live up to this kindness.I just bought her two tickets, what should I do if there are three more?Yes, let someone from the ministry buy it tomorrow.

Shunzi bought all five tickets. "Thank you for helping me!" Lin Tian said happily: "I have an appointment later, sorry, I'll go first." Calculator goes.She seems to be familiar with the business here. Before leaving, Lintian left another sentence: "Hey, get your spirits out! No matter what happens, you have to hold on!" Shunzi really wanted to come out with her, but Lintian seemed to want to leave her behind, so he left in a hurry.Shunzi had no choice but to sit down again, drinking the remaining black tea.At this time, someone who didn't know touched her shoulder lightly.She looked up, and it turned out to be Kazuo Kiuchi.Kazuo Kiuchi stood beside her holding a rolled up newspaper.

"It's you?" Shunzi was surprised by Kazuo Kiuchi's sudden appearance. "Excuse me... I was here just now. Seeing Lin Tian accompanying you, I avoided it. Can I sit here?" "Hey, please." Kazuo Kiuchi said "Thank you" and sat down opposite Shunzi. His expression was much calmer than Shunzi imagined. Kazuo Kiuchi called the waiter and changed the order for coffee. He asked Shunzi what to order, and Shunzi asked for fruit. The two were silent, and both were a little embarrassed.The disciplinary decision announced today still has lumps in the hearts of the two of them.

"Okay! It's finally announced!" Kiuchi Kazuo smiled and broke the embarrassing silence.He seemed to think it was better to avoid the question than to cut to the chase. "I'm really sorry," Junko Misawa nodded. "Where, I can't say that. It was caused by me, and it was my own fault. There is nothing to say. I think you have read today's announcement, but that's all, and you can't avoid it anyway." "..." "In this way, I feel more at ease. It's much more enjoyable than worrying about what the director will punish me every day, and getting tired of passing the day."

"..." Junko Misawa didn't know what to say.She felt that the Kiuchi Kazuo she saw was a perverted image who should have been depressed after being hurt, but excited instead. "How are you?" Kiuchi Kazuo asked Sunzi with concern. "Don't always be frowning." Kiuchi Kazuo said: "I said before that the responsibility lies with our organization department. The worst thing is that I didn't review the materials. Besides, such mistakes are inevitable for anyone. What S Blacka, an unknown person who has never even heard of his name. This is a question beyond common sense!" Kazuo Kiuchi said with a clear attitude: "It's just that the minister was implicated by me, and I feel guilty for being punished. I will stamp it It doesn't matter, but I feel uneasy. The current director is really interesting. Have you heard the discussion? I didn't expect him to do this! Don't be too hard on yourself." Then, Kazuo Kiuchi asked about the situation of Minister Sue Guangzentaro and Deputy Minister Kanemori Kenkichi.Junko Misawa said: "I feel so sorry for them!" Apart from this, she couldn't say anything else. "According to the gossip," Kazuo Kiuchi said, "the sanction was not just for this mistake, it is said that there were many factors involved." It seems that Kazuo Kiuchi has also heard rumors about the editorial bureau.The inside news of the newspaper spread like wildfire, faster than the news in the newspaper.The minister of information investigation is not at ease with his work, and he keeps going around for political purposes, and the deputy chief, Kenkichi Kanemori, is undisciplined, keen on horse racing, and hardly even touches his desk. .Others said that this punishment was just a fuse.In short, opinions vary. "So, the director's intention is not just to deal with this accident, but to use this opportunity to make a decisive decision on the person who was punished. People in the editorial bureau say so. That is to say, you always think it's up to you It was caused by a single person’s mistake, but it’s actually not like this. The situation is complicated. According to past practices, even the director of Chuanbei Bureau should be tolerant of this mistake.” "..." "In my opinion, it's not your responsibility at all! Everyone says so. Therefore, don't take that matter to heart and worry about it." From Kazuo Kiuchi's conversation, Junko Misawa heard words similar to Mitsuko Kawachi's words to comfort her.Since Kazuo Kiuchi himself was the person involved, his sympathy for her seemed more sincere and precious.Kazuo Kiuchi even realized Junko Misawa.Newspaper employees point fingers and become the center of discussion. When they had finished their coffee and fruit, Kazuo Kiuchi stood up and said: "It's time to go back!" So, the two came to Youle Street Station side by side.On the way, I only heard Kiuchi Kazuo talking to himself: "Hey! It's so boring to be alone! Especially in this kind of mood, it's so boring when I get home! But there's nowhere to go, there's nothing I can do about it." Hearing what Kazuo Kiuchi said, Shunzi could fully understand his feelings.Although Kazuo Kiuchi has not been forced to the point where he has to resign as determinedly as she did, but because of the punishment, he is already discouraged, and then he returns to the desolate single dormitory alone. There is no warmth, no comfort, it is indeed unbearable. Bear. Misawa Junko suddenly remembered the theater ticket she bought from Lin Tian just now.She thought, anyway, she was planning to "handle" it to someone else, so it would be nice to give it to Kiuchi.She asked Kiuchi: "Kiuchi-kun, you don't hate dramas, do you?" "Drama? Oh, I don't hate dramas and the like." Kazuo Kiuchi replied happily. "Well, I have the admission ticket I just bought. If you want, I would like to invite you to watch today's first performance." Junko Misawa took out a ticket and handed it to Kazuo Kiuchi: "Would you like it?" Kiuchi Kazuo looked at the ticket and said: "Ah, it's the play that was reviewed in the newspaper a few days ago." "It seems to be. It was recommended by a colleague who likes drama." Misawa Junko did not say Lin Tian's name. "Aren't you going to see it together?" Kazuo Kiuchi looked at Shunzi. "I do not want to go." "Well, that's it." Kiuchi was obviously disappointed.At first, he thought Sunja would go with him. "What a pity!" Kiuchi Kazuo really showed a regretful expression. Of course, he didn't regret going to the theater, but he regretted asking for a ticket and was too embarrassed to refuse it.Kazuo Kiuchi knew that the direction of going to the theater was opposite to that of Sunja going home.He really wanted to walk with Sanze Junzi again. "Okay! I wish you a happy watching." Junko Misawa finished speaking, turned around and left. Kiuchi Kazuo didn't move, he kept watching Sunja leave. That night, Misawa Junko wrote a letter of resignation.The reason was: "I have something to do at home." Looking at the written resignation letter, Misawa Junko couldn't help but let out a long sigh.She did not expect that she would resign so early and leave the newspaper.When she first joined the newspaper, she was delighted and proud that she could work in such a modern news unit.Although the fantasy of her life has gradually dimmed a lot in the reality of work, she still doesn't hate the newspaper office.In this newspaper office where the employment examination is very strict, there are only two female employees who were admitted to the week with Junko Misawa.The classmates who graduated from the same year envied her very much.Who knows how rough the road of life is!This time, although she will end her career as a newspaper office, what else will she encounter on the road of her life and destiny?She felt apprehensive.Especially now, if she resigned from the newspaper, she would have no income right now.And with only one year's severance pay and a pitifully small salary, how will she support herself?What else can I do in the future? Misawa Junko thought of Mihara Masako's career.That is a profession that earns a lot of money, but after entering that kind of environment, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to adapt.However, it was still time to find Masako Mihara and ask her for help with something else.Masako's communication is more extensive than she thought.She knew a thing or two from the intimate conversation she had with the director last time.Due to her professional relationship, she also had a lot of contact with high-ranking people.Talk to her, maybe earn a living elsewhere.I can only bite the bullet and beg her, other than that, I have no other hope.Thinking of this, Sanze Junzi felt that the surroundings were like a closed high wall, isolating her from the world. The next morning, as soon as she stepped into the gate of the newspaper office, Misawa Junko felt a burst of sadness.For a moment, a sad emotion passed through my heart.The newspaper office and the work that is closely related to me that I have been working for for more than a year will always be alienated from myself and become someone else's.That is today, she will be excluded from this large group.The sadness in her heart and the incompatibility with her surroundings strongly oppressed her: even Mitsuko Kawachi's face felt strange to her. "Come on." Mitsuko Hanoi was still encouraging her: "Looking at what you looked like yesterday, I'm really worried that you won't come today." Misawa Junko planned to call Kawachi Mitsuko outside and tell her about her plan to resign.But today's tasks are packed.Whether she is good or Sanjinzi, she always has to get out of the task with a dull head. She is embarrassed to delay Sanjinzi's work because of her own affairs. It's just that Shunzi was in a difficult situation today, the minister and the deputy chief were not here, who should hand over the written resignation letter?Please Tamura, Uemura, and Yoshioka pass it on, because they are at the same level as themselves, and it is not appropriate to pass it on.Although the minister's superior is the chief editor, he cannot be handed over to the chief editor.According to the personnel order, the work of Minister Suehiro Zentaro will be replaced by the Head of the Review Department, and the order was issued on June 3, three days before the effective date, so it is not appropriate to hand it over to the Head of the Review Department.In short, the new minister did not take office, and the old minister was absent, so the letter of resignation could not be delivered.Shunzi knew that he had to wait for Minister Suehiro to arrive before handing over his resignation letter.Be patient!However, she waited for the whole morning, but she did not see Minister Suehiro. At noon, Misawa Junko went to the cafeteria of the newspaper office to eat.Thinking that she will never eat here again in the future, even the waitresses in the cafeteria feel attached to her. After eating, Shunzi didn't go out, but went back to the data investigation department.When passing through the corridor, the obese Director Chuanbei came from the opposite side.Misawa Junko held her breath for a while.There is nowhere to hide in the corridor.Because of writing the letter of resignation, Shunzi was more nervous than last time.Director Chuanbei bowed involuntarily to Junko Misawa, as if he was treating an acquaintance.And so it is.While Misawa Junko was hesitating, she suddenly did something she didn't expect.The letter of resignation was in her suit pocket. "Director!" She boldly shouted to Chuanbei Liangce who had just walked past.Kawakita stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Shunzi with surprised and puzzled eyes. "What's up?" Junko Misawa handed the folded envelope containing the letter of resignation to the director with both hands. "Our minister and deputy chief are not here today, please accept this." Then, she seemed to not remember what she did or said.Anyway, it's vague.She felt hotheaded.I don't know how to run past the chief and how to get back to the ministry. After returning to the seat, the violent heartbeat prevented Shunzi from working immediately.It took a long time to calm down.Today, the sudden recklessness set her whole body on fire. Anyway, the letter of resignation was finally sent out, and it was delivered directly to the director himself.The minister is not here, maybe the General Affairs Department will say something.Never mind!It's finally over!Misawa Junko was relieved. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the data investigation department opened.The female secretary from the director's office walked in.She whispered in Shunzi's ear and asked: "Are you Miss Sanze? The director has something to call you. Please come to the director's office immediately." The colleagues who were working raised their heads together.
