It was not long after that that Naoki had the opportunity to see Hirano again.I heard from my colleagues that he will come to the store to inspect the business situation, and I heard that Hirano will also come to the warehouse. That afternoon, Hirano showed up at the warehouse accompanied by the head of the logistics section.There were two other people in the same company.Naoki stood upright beside the stacked cardboard boxes.The head of the logistics section said hello in advance, if you have any questions, you can answer them. Hirano looked a little thinner than when we last met.But the straight waist and leisurely posture have not changed at all.He listened to the introduction of the head of the logistics department, nodded, and looked around from time to time.

Hirano and the others walked up to Naoki.Naoki licked his lips and adjusted his breathing.He was sure that he would say something to himself, and he waited for the short president to turn his gaze to him. However, Hirano's pace didn't change at all, and his gaze didn't turn towards Naotaka either.Walking at the same rhythm as before, nodding frequently to the introduction of his subordinates.A few seconds later, Naoki watched Hirano's thin back and left. That's how it should be, Zhigui thought, a little disappointed.As far as Hirano is concerned, he is just one of many employees.Maybe he still remembers talking to the prisoner's brother a few years ago, but he must have forgotten his appearance.There's no reason for him not to forget.Even if he remembered, there was no need to speak again now.

It was really wishful thinking, Naoki laughed alone as if laughing at himself. About an hour after the president's inspection, the head of the logistics section came to Naoki's place and asked him to quickly deliver a few items to a conference room on the fifth floor.The section chief handed him the serial numbers of those items. "What is it? This." Seeing the paper handed over, Naoki asked. "I told you, move these over, hurry up!" "It's nothing to move there." "Probably a surprise inspection," said the head of the section. "Is it to check the packing condition or something? So, that, please don't make any mistakes."

"I see." Although he didn't understand, Zhigui started to work.Nothing like this has happened so far.He put the designated products on the trolley, left the warehouse, entered the opposite store and took the elevator to the fifth floor. He knocked on the door of the meeting room but there was no response, and he felt strange and pushed the door open.There are only conference tables arranged in a concave shape in the conference room, and there is no one.There are no other conference rooms on the fifth floor, so let's unload the goods here first, he thought.When I started to move the cartons, there was a sound of the door opening.

"Is it okay to put the products here..." He stopped talking just now, and Hirano stood there with a smile, and he was the only one. "Ah! President." "Just put it there." Hirano walked to the window, looked out of the window from there, and turned to look at Naoki, "Long time no see, how are you doing?" "It's okay." Zhigui put the cardboard box he was holding on the ground and took off his hat. "I heard from the head of the class that you got married, but I didn't send you a congratulatory letter. I'm sorry." "No, even the ceremony is not that formal."

"Really. Oh, whatever you want about the ceremony is fine. Anyway, I should congratulate you. I heard that you have a child, so you can say that things are going well, right?" "Ah, that..." Zhigui smiled.I didn't understand why I was smiling, and my cheeks were a little stiff. "Hmm. What's the matter? He looks a little unhappy, do you have something to say?" Hirano's words gave him courage, Naoki raised his head and looked into the eyes of the president. "There is something. I originally thought that if I could see the president, I must ask about it."

"what is it?" "The president once said that it is natural for family members of criminals like us to be discriminated against in the world, rather it is necessary. The important thing is to try to build relationships with others under such circumstances." "Well. I did say that." "I believe what you said and worked hard until now. I feel that I have worked hard. As a result, when I did well, my wife was very cooperative, and I spent every day smoothly no matter what." "Zeng? It's the past tense." With a smile on his face, Hirano pulled up a nearby chair and sat down on it. "There seems to be something wrong."

"My wife and I are fine. We know where we are, and we're determined not to run away from it. But my daughter..." The smile on Hirano's face disappeared, "What's wrong with my daughter?" Naoki lowered his eyes, and then described the current situation clumsily, expressing his desire not to make his daughter unhappy. After listening to his words, Hirano nodded his head a few times, and his expression didn't look like he heard the unexpected words. "You did understand what I said at that time, and you want to apply it to real life. It's good that you also met a good wife. However, after hearing what you just said, I still feel a little regretful. That is It seems like you still don't fully understand what I said."

"Is there some misunderstanding?" "If you say it's a misunderstanding, it's too cruel to you. However, you have the impression that you have misunderstood. If you say it more strictly, you still think things too simply, whether it is you or your wife." Naoki raised his head and clenched his teeth.If he said that he was fine, but he said Yu Shizi, it was a bit unpleasant. "Are you trying to say that it is acceptable for a daughter to be discriminated against by the people around her?" He thought that even Hirano would not think so, but his answer exceeded his expectations.

"That depends on the situation." Hirano said calmly, "Think about it, he is a robber and murderer. Who would want to get close to such a character? I remember saying it before." "Then I know..." "No longer avoid facing life directly, even being discriminated against by others will have a way to go-this is what you and your wife think. It seems like the idea of ​​young people. But that still makes things simple. Maybe you want to put your own Expose everything without any concealment, and then ask the people around you to accept you. Suppose, under such circumstances, even if you can communicate with others, who will be more psychologically burdened? Is it you? Or the people around you Woolen cloth?"

"Then..." He couldn't answer.It's not that I can't find the answer, but I understand what Hirano said. "So, what should we do? Do we have to continue to endure discrimination? Do we have to demand that from such a young girl?" Even though he knew it was useless to tell the other party, Zhigui still couldn't help it. Myself, the language became sharp. Hirano leaned back comfortably on the chair and looked up at Naoki. "Upright and upright, this seems to be the key word of your husband and wife, that's why I dare to say this. To say that no matter what the occasion, no matter what the time is, staying upright and upright is probably a bitter choice for you, but I don't think so. I just feel that you have taken a path that is easy to understand and easy to choose." "Can't you be upright?" Hirano didn't answer Naoki's question, the corners of his mouth relaxed, he coughed, and looked at his watch. "It's almost time for the next appointment, thank you for your hard work!" Saying that, Hirano stood up. "Wait a minute, please tell me the answer." "There is no answer. Didn't I say, for this, it doesn't make sense to choose what to choose, if you don't choose it yourself." "Thank you!" Hirano said again.His gaze became severe. Zhigui lowered his head and walked out.
