Chapter 13 second quarter

The switchboard room of the R newspaper office has been busy.Usually there are 10 operators, divided into three shifts.There are morning shifts, evening shifts and night shifts.There are fewer night shifts. On this day, it was Jiang Mu Yuzi's turn to work the morning shift from 9 am to 4 pm. Just after 10 o'clock, it was very busy.She wanted to urge local branch offices and communications departments to deliver the manuscripts for the evening and morning papers as soon as possible, and she was so busy running around. Among the operators, Jiang Mu Yuzi was proficient in business.Except when she is very busy, she can eavesdrop on other people's calls calmly. Since Suehiro Zentaro told her, as long as it is an internal call to Kawakita Yoshisaku and Misawa Junko, no matter the outside line or the inside line, she is very careful. be careful.Of course, this is only limited to when she is on duty.Colleagues had to let it go when they were on duty.

That day, he should have been hit by her too.For some reason, in just one morning, the outside line called the director of North Sichuan 4 times, and there were 6 calls in total by 1:00 noon.But it's an urgent matter at work, so there's no need to report to Zentaro Suehiro.But just after 2 o'clock, the switchboard of the TV station asked Ryosaku Kawakita to speak.Eki Ikuko nimbly connected the plug into the editorial director's room, and put the earphones tightly on her ears, listening to the conversation between the two parties. "The director? I'm Maruhashi from the TV bureau."

Jiang Mu Yuzi said "Ah!" "I've troubled you last time." Maruhashi's voice sounded a bit like the metal vibration of earphones. "Ah, Maruhashi-kun? I'm so happy!" Kawakita Ryosaku's rough voice came in. "Still busy?" "It's always endless." "Anything tonight?" "Tonight? Wait a minute." Kawakita Ryoce's voice came through the memo: "The queue is full before 8 o'clock. There is a meeting." "It's okay after 8 o'clock! It's still the same place, how about it?"

"Just you?" Chuanbei asked. "I want to go with two people, I have something to discuss." "Okay!" Chief Chuanbei's voice was a little excited. The so-called "old place" is the Akasakabashi nightclub guessed by Ikuko Eki and Zentaro Suehiro. "So, the person you saw last time is going too?" "Oh, you mean Junko Misawa?" Jiang Muruzi's ears tensed up. "At about 3 o'clock today, you find an excuse and ask her to come to my place." "What's up?" "The head of production said he wanted to meet her. How about asking her to deliver a letter?"

"Delivering letters is the business of other departments, so it's not easy to send her. Even if I am the director, it would be unreasonable to send a woman from the data investigation department to you." "Can't think anymore?" "It's a bit difficult. Why don't you take her to the nightclub tonight, and ask the head of production to go too, what do you think?" "Is that so?" It was Maruhashi's hesitant voice. Be silent for a while. "Hey, when you get off work at 5 o'clock, you can let her take the opportunity to come home to me, right?"

"That's not difficult. You've got to wait until then?" "Wait." "However, Junko Misawa may decline. Even if the head of production is interested, she may not be interested." "If you decline, there is nothing you can do. However, the head of production is an enthusiastic man. If you refuse, try to persuade her." "It's up to you!" "Hey, just to be on the safe side, I want to ask you, you didn't have any idea about her, did you?" Jiang Shui Yuzi's nerves attached to the earphones were so nervous that they were about to collapse!

"Don't talk nonsense! No matter what, you can't reach out to your subordinates." Director Chuanbei laughed. "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Okay! Let's just say that!" "see you tonight." The phone hangs up here.Jiang Mu Ikuko quickly wrote down the main points of the call with a pencil on the memo in front of her. From the analysis of today's phone call, Director Chuanbei doesn't seem to have any special desire for Junko Misawa, but the Marubashi executive is very eager to make Junko Misawa work as a TV broadcaster.But it's just a phone call, who knows what kind of medicine he and the director of Chuanbei are selling in their gourds?

After this call, it is very likely that Ryoce Kawakita called Junko Misawa.Unfortunately, she did not receive the call. Eki Ikuko hung up the phone to the business department.A young man's voice came over the phone. "Hello, there is a person named Yamazaki who wants Kozentaro to answer the phone." Eki Ikuko Saryu said. Suehiro Zentaro took the microphone.He started to work in the business department only yesterday. "Suehiro, it's me." Eki Ikuko said mysteriously. "Hey, that's right! I'm Suehiro Zentarou." Suehiro replied deliberately. "I have something urgent to talk about. Just now, the executive of the TV Bureau called Chuanbei and asked Sanze Junzi to come to him before getting off work tonight. Probably the head of production of the TV Bureau wants to see Misawa Junko."

"Okay, okay, I understand." "Hey, also, the director and that Maruhashi will meet at the nightclub at 8 o'clock tonight." "Understood. Thank you." Suehiro Zentaro hung up the phone respectfully. After Eki Ikuko and Suehiro Zentaro talked, someone called Misawa Junko from the outside line.Judging from the "ding bell" sound like coins falling, the call was from a public phone. At that time, Jiang Mu Yuzi deliberately pretended to be confused, and she asked again: "Are you looking for Junko Misawa from the Data Investigation Department?"

From the other party's answer, she confirmed that the man on the phone was Kazuo Kiuchi.Because she had already remembered Kiuchi Kazuo's voice.Although Kiuchi Kazuo said a fake name, she still recognized it.Kazuo Kiuchi said: "I'm Yoshida." Kazuo Kiuchi himself was amused when he used a fake name for the first time. The data investigation department got through.The first to pick up the microphone was Kawachi Mitsuko.Listen to her voice, like a man with a hoarse voice.Then Shunzi replaced her, "Sunzi? I'm Kiuchi." "Oh." Shunzi's voice was very low.

"Is there a lot of people in the Ministry?" "Then, let me just talk about it." Kazuo Kiuchi said, "I'm so sorry for making you unhappy last night. After breaking up, I went back to the dormitory directly, but for some reason, I always felt dissatisfied." How about we meet again tonight?" There was a silence. "No way." Shunzi's hesitant voice made Kazuo Kiuchi hesitate too. "I think I have to see you again. I have something to say. Even 30 minutes. Where are you waiting?" "I'm in a hurry tonight, so I can't make up my mind," said Misawa Junko. Egi Ikuko thought, since Misawa Junko politely declined Kiuchi, Kawakita must have called her and sent her to the TV station.However, it is also possible that Kazuo Kiuchi was deliberately avoided. "Actually, it's inconvenient to make this kind of phone call at the newspaper office, so I used a public phone outside. Why, is there no time to ask?" "I really have to say no to you tonight." "So, how about tomorrow?" Kiuchi Kazuo seemed to be following closely. Sunja hesitated. "It doesn't matter tomorrow, right? Please... let's make it like this!" "I will think about it." "Is it? It's okay for a short time. Anyway, we're going to see each other again." Junko Misawa did not answer. "Hey, do you understand?" "Hey." Shunzi's voice was still very soft. "Well, goodbye!" "goodbye." Eki Ikuko confirmed from the phone that Kiuchi Kazuo and Misawa Junko went to the cinema last night.Judging from Kazuo Kiuchi's tone, he had already ignited the flame of love for Junzi.From the sentence "After breaking up, I went back to the dormitory directly", it means that they finished watching the movie and didn't take a walk on the road at night.Kazuo Kiuchi seemed to be determined to break into Sunja's life one step at a time.Therefore, the scene of last night cannot be forgotten. Junko Misawa went to the Fried Shrimp Restaurant with Director Chuanbei at noon yesterday, and went to the cinema with Kazuo Kiuchi in the evening.Yu Zi thought, this is not an easy woman.Eki Ikuko called Suehiro Zentaro again.No one would be surprised that she asked for the phone from the switchboard. "I'm Suehiro." Suehiro picked up the microphone. "Just now, Kazuo Kiuchi asked Sunja to go out with him tomorrow from the public phone outside." "Really?" Suehiro deliberately said in an official tone, telling others. "After Kazuo Kiuchi broke up with Junko Misawa last night, he seemed to be very enthusiastic. We must meet again tonight. Misawa refused. The reason for the refusal may be what I just told you. Misawa has received the director's request to her Instructions to the TV station. That's all." "Okay! Thank you so much!" Zentaro Suehiro answered solemnly and hung up the phone. No one in the newspaper office knew about Egi Ikuko and Suehiro Zentaro fooling around in Shibuya last night.Suehiro Zentaro is a married man, Eki Ikuko never thought about the outcome of her love for Suehiro Zentaro.She just hoped to let this hopeless love sustain herself. Now, she couldn't do without Suehiro Zentaro, and she would break up with Suehiro unless she found another man to replace her.In short, in this woman's life, she cannot be separated from a man for a moment, and she cannot be separated from love for a moment.Otherwise, she would be unbearably lonely.Before that, she had been in love four times.When he broke up with the fourth man, it was Zentaro Suehiro who broke in.However, to be precise, she and Suehiro Zentaro are not really in love.However, she couldn't live without a man, and at the same time, she couldn't bear the loneliness of celibate life.She needs to keep interacting with the opposite sex to fill the void in her heart. Sitting in front of the switchboard, she seems to have peeped into the secrets of people's hearts.Among the calls she answered, there were calls from women to those high-spirited officials; calls from family members asking what happened; and calls to repay loans.These cold realities of life have become words, condensed in the earphones.Arguing endlessly in her ears is really lifelike.And the complex relationship between people adds a layer of emptiness to the impatience of Egi Ikuko, who is about to turn 30. It was around 4:30 when Suehiro Zentaro arrived at the TV station.Kubo Naoichi received him.Take him to the tea room of the TV bureau. "What wind brought you here? It's a rare visitor." Kubo Naoichi looked at Suehiro Zentaro and said with a smile. Suehiro Zentaro first glanced at the tea room.Groups of young men and women sat in the tea room. "It's really lively here! Seeing the pretty faces of these female broadcasters, I feel comfortable." "It was rare when I saw it for the first time, but I got tired of it after a long time." Kubo Naoichi made a look of indifference. "Have you been here long?" "Oh! The big bosses of the newspaper have left me behind. There is nothing I can do. Even when I retire, I can only fill in the vacancy." Kubo always complained about his own situation: "Hey, your current situation It’s not too good!” He was referring to Suehiro’s removal from the position of Minister of Data Investigation. "Yeah, what a surprise! People, you can't know where you will hit a rock." "What? Touched a reef?" "Yes, wait a minute and tell you slowly." "The cleaning department was also involved in that accident, right?" "These things spread so fast!" "Hey, it's fast. Especially the news inside the newspaper. People are also a little nervous. Hey, I met that young man named Kazuo Kiuchi in the finishing department last night, and that guy was also relegated to the local edition for finishing. .” "Hmph! After all, Chuanbei is the best." Suehiro said with a wry smile sarcastically. "That Kiuchi brought a woman to relieve boredom, and when he met me, he felt embarrassed. Hey, is that woman also from the newspaper office?" "What does she look like?" "Looks like a beauty. The woman was also embarrassed, and quickly avoided me and turned to the side." Suehiro thought, maybe it was Junko Misawa.This was what Eki Ikuko told him after eavesdropping on Kiuchi's phone call yesterday.Most likely just out of the cinema at the time. "That woman may have a clue!" said Suehiro Zentaro. "Really?" Kubo Naoichi widened his eyes in surprise, "How's the evaluation in the newspaper?" "Oh, almost everyone knows!" "So, how did you know?" Sue Hiroshi said, Kubo Naoichi immediately expressed great interest and "concern", and asked Sue Hiroshi with relish. "She used to be my subordinate!" "A woman from the data investigation department?" "Yes! My name is Junko Misawa. Just wait, she will definitely appear here in a short time." Zentaro Suehiro looked at his watch. According to the information he got, after 5 o'clock, Misawa Junko will come to my Marubashi special manager. "What? Appeared here?" Kubo blinked his eyes in surprise. "Yes! Ryosaku Kawakita sent her to Marubashi." "Hoho, I don't know at all!" Kubo said, staring at Suehiro Zentaro's face. "Yeah, that kind of thing is still a secret to you." "Hey, isn't it interesting?" "It's not convenient to say it here, it will be troublesome if others hear it." Zentaro Suehiro scanned the surrounding area again.
