Chapter 35 Section thirty-fifth

After Kurachi went to work in the company, I took him to the coffee shop outside.As soon as I entered the coffee shop and ordered coffee, I immediately stated that I wanted to quit my job.Hearing what I said, Kuramochi was also surprised after all. "What happened? Or are you protesting my salary is too little?" There was a slight smile on his face. "That's not the case. As I said, I won't help you with a scam business." "A deceitful business? I think your statement is a bit inappropriate?" "Your method of soliciting customers to join the club is not a lie?"

I roughly told him what Nakagami said at the new employee seminar.As he listened, his face sank visibly.He was silent for a while after I finished speaking.After he took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter, he still didn't intend to speak. "You should say something! You are the president, right? Could it be that you want to say that it is a good thing for Zhongshang to be the leader without authorization?" "No, I wouldn't say that." "so what?" "Okay, listen to me." Kuramo spread his palms in front of me. "I know you are very uncomfortable. Besides the Hozumi International incident, Tozai Shoji also left us with bad memories. You must not want to repeat the same mistakes, right? Let me tell you, I am the same. What's more Now that I am the operator, if something happens, I will be wanted by the police. If so, do you think I will do such a dangerous thing?"

"But, in fact, Zhong Shang..." "He's just teaching the new recruits how to deal with customers, right? A business like ours wouldn't work if it was just a smiley face, so there still needs to be some level of bravado. Talking to people, talking shit to hell, This is the basic principle of sales. Isn’t Tozai Shoji trying to instill this concept in its employees?” "Don't mention that company! That's the exception." "It's the same in other companies. Everyone does the same. Especially in the securities consulting industry, if you don't have good-spoken, smart and capable people, you can't get along at all. This industry is very competitive, and you can't beat your competitors just by saying nice words. "

"However, Nakagami said: 'Never return the money you accept!'" I stared at Kuramochi. "He also said: 'This is the iron law.' Isn't it strange not to return the money that the guest has deposited with us?" Hearing what I said, Kuramochi frowned, sighed heavily, and took a sip of coffee, the corners of his mouth softened. "Not surprising. That's the iron law." "What did you say……?" "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to embezzle the customer's money. I mean don't let the customer take the money back. For example, we let the customer buy the A-shares. Assuming that the customer makes money because of it, at this time Don’t be so stupid as to ask customers to sell A shares and get all the money back. You can ask customers to sell A shares, but you have to find a way to let customers buy B shares. That is to let the money flow. In this way, The relationship between the customer and our company will not be broken. If you don't do this, how can the customer increase? It's simple arithmetic. You understand?"

I frowned and looked at Kuramochi's face.He had a nonchalant expression on his face, as if to say: "Is there anything strange?" What he said was indeed true, but I still couldn't let it go. "But Nakagami's tone of voice doesn't feel like what you said." "That guy is often too emotional, so he's going to overdo it. I'll warn him. But he's going to say exactly what I just said. Don't worry!" "What if the customer just wants us to pay back?" "Then pay back the money. Is this a matter of course? However, our job is to find a way to never let the customer ask for it." Kuramochi blinked at me and glanced at his watch. "It's already so late, if you keep procrastinating, the money you should earn will be gone." He picked up the bill on the table.

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing I want to ask you." "What else is there?" "Do you need a license to buy and sell stocks? Do you have that license?" In an instant, I saw that Cang Mochi's eyes turned fierce, but it was only for an instant, and soon the expression on his face returned to a calm smile. "Of course. Don't worry about unnecessary things." "Let me see your license next time." "Well, next time." He glanced at his watch again. "Oops. Then I'll hurry back to the company, bye." He rushed to the cashier in three steps and two steps.

After he left the coffee shop, I looked at the glass door and realized that before I knew it, my desire to resign had been vagued again. I can't fully accept Kuramochi's rhetoric, but it always happens every time I argue with him.He always sees through what I'm going to say next, and prepares the answer in advance, so that I can't refute it at all. In the end, I only feel a sense of loss in my heart. However, I am determined not to be fooled by him this time.No matter how hard Kuramo would deny it, as long as a little in-depth investigation, he would be able to know immediately whether the company was engaged in illegal activities.I think, for senior employees at the cadre level above the middle level, they must be very tight-lipped, but they should be able to get out of the mouths of young employees smoothly.

Not long after I made up my mind, however, something more serious happened to me. One day when I was working in a furniture store, a junior employee approached me and whispered in my ear, "Yesterday, I saw a customer of Mr. Tajima." implication. I looked into his face and said, "My guest? Who is it?" "I don't know her name. A female customer who came to the store alone a year ago is pretty, but she feels a little pink. Everyone is saying that she must be a wine girl... Don't you remember? ?” My eyes widened.There are not many female customers who come to the store alone, and it still feels like a restaurant girl, so I only want to get one person.My heartbeat started to speed up.

"Rieko Teraoka... Miss?" The junior employee tilted his head. "Ah, it seems to be the name." "Where is she? What hotel is she in?" Seeing me blah-blah-blah asking questions one after another, the smirk on the face of the junior employee disappeared, and his expression became a little cringe. "It's in Roppongi. A store a little further down Roppongi Avenue... Uh... I should have the business card of that store." He took out his wallet and took out the business card from it. "That's it. There's a map on the back of the card."

The business card says "Curious Matsumura Hazuki". "Is this Ye Yue the one she is?" "No, she was sitting on another stage at the time. She was wearing a big red super halter dress, which was a little different from when I saw her before, but I think she was right. Her name is... Ms. Teraoka? When that person came to the store for the first time, I was the one who registered for her, so I remember it clearly." "Did she find you?" "No, it shouldn't be, and I didn't call her." "Yes...can you give me this business card?"

"Yes. If Mr. Tajima wants to go to that store, I can take you there." There was a distorted smile on the face of the junior employee.He was presumably piqued with curiosity and looking forward to a free drink at the bar. "No, that's not what I meant. I just want to contact her about something... Besides, the store must be very expensive, right?" "It's good that it's expensive. After all, we can all afford it. It's not a high-end hotel, and the quality of the girls is not very good. To be honest, this girl named Ye Yue doesn't look very good either." "Yes. It's all right. I won't go anyway." "Really? If you want to go, remember to find me." The junior employee said with a half-serious tone. After work that day, I hurried to Roppongi after a simple dinner, but I didn't intend to go into the store to find her.Because there is no way to talk properly when surrounded by people, and she may not come to my seat to sit on the stage, on the contrary, she may disappear without a trace as soon as she sees me. My purpose is to confirm the location of that store and whether Rieko is really in that store.I think that today we only need to achieve these two goals.I followed the map on the back of the business card and found "Curious" right away.The black signboard has white letters printed on it, as if it is on the third floor of a white building. The problem is how to confirm that Li Rongzi is there.I observed the entrance of the building, and there were people coming in and out, including some wine girls, but I don't know if they were "Curious" people.I was wondering if I should just arrest someone, and if they happen to be employees of "Cruious", ask him if there is a woman named Rieko Teraoka who works in the store.However, if word of this got to her, she would be on the alert, so in the end I had to stay at a distance and watch. I stood on the side of the road for a while, but I couldn't just stand like this forever.Anyway, there is still a long time before proofing, so I decided to come back after drawing up a plan, so I left there. At this time, someone came out of the building again, and at a glance, it was clear that the two people were the relationship between the guest and the wine girl.A man who appeared to be forty-five or sixteen, wearing a well-tailored suit, waved away from the woman.At the same time, the man said: "Then, goodbye, Hazuki." "Good night. Let's eat French food next time." "Okay, okay." The man said and left.After watching the man leave, the woman named Ye Yue turned around. "Ah, wait." I called out to her back. When she turned around, the smile that a wine girl should have had immediately appeared on her face. "What's up?" "Did Riei not come to work today?" "Lirong? Let me think about it..." I could tell from her expression that no one in their shop was by that name.Thinking about it carefully, Teraoka Rieko may not be her real name. "Maybe I got the name wrong. She had work yesterday, the one in the big red super halter." Ye Yue looked at me, tilting her head.She might be thinking in her heart, did this customer come to the store yesterday?At the same time, she should also be searching for the memory of the woman in the red suit. "Oh, you must be talking about Miss Gongxiang. She has to go to work today. Please come in." She stretched out her hand to invite me into the elevator with a smile on her face. "No, I have to go somewhere else later. I'll come back later." "Then you'd better come before eleven o'clock. She has an early shift today and will be back before twelve o'clock." "I see. Thanks." "May I ask your honorable name?" "Ah...my surname is Nakamura. However, I don't think she remembers it." "Mr. Nakamura? I'll tell her." Under Ye Yue's watch, I left there.Sweaty underarms and back. Her name is Gongxiang... After hearing Ye Yue's report, Gongxiang must feel baffled.However, it was me who she never expected to come.The surname Nakamura can be seen everywhere.Maybe she was desperately trying to figure out which guest it was. It was still early, so I decided to go to a coffee shop.Although you can't see the "Curious" building there, you can see people coming out of Roppongi Dori.I sat in the window seat and watched the main road while drinking coffee. Suddenly, I had a feeling of déjà vu.It feels like something like this has happened before.Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that it was not my own experience.I used to walk into a coffee shop like this, and it was my father who waited for the wine girl to come out of the hotel.My womanizing, foolish father who lost everything.The father who lost not only his property, but also his hard-earned dentist title. Am I doing the same thing my father was doing now? I shake my head.Absolutely not.At that time, my father had no family at all in his eyes, he just wanted to get a woman and lay in ambush.I am different now, I want to know what is really going on in the heart of the person who destroyed my family and try to catch her. However, a voice deep within me whispered to me: "You and your father did exactly the same thing. Isn't the result the same? To be played by women in the hands of applause, and ended up with nothing. You and your What's different about being a father? Nothing! Just repeating the same mistakes." Feelings of self-loathing are overwhelming.I tried hard to put this feeling behind me.The coffee melted bitterly in the mouth. I was in the coffee shop and spent almost two hours before leaving.It was almost eleven o'clock. When I came to the place where I could see the front of "Curious" again, I immediately hid behind the Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road.There seemed to be more guests coming in and out than before.There are many wine girls who dress very similarly.I stared intently, thinking that I must not miss Rieko, no, it was Gongxiang. It was past 11:30, and when it was close to twelve o'clock, I thought to myself: "I can't always stay in the same place." So I changed positions several times.When I was about to go back to the back of the Mercedes again, she appeared in the building. She must be Rieko Teraoka.Although her makeup and hairstyle are different, the atmosphere exuding from her whole body is exactly the same as before. She walked towards Roppongi Avenue.I followed her, always feeling that if I called out to her suddenly, she would run away.But it would be bad to grab her silently and make her scream. I thought, "If she takes a taxi, she'll be in trouble." Luckily she made it down the steps of the subway.At that moment, I made up my mind: "Okay, follow me to the end!" In short, first find out where you live before talking. There are many people on the subway platform.I gave up my heart and stood directly behind her, but she didn't notice me. She got off at Nakameguro, and I followed her with a distance of a few meters.I don't know where she will get off. I just bought a more expensive ticket and passed the ticket barrier smoothly. It is not easy to follow after leaving the station.Young women tend to watch their backs when walking at night, so I kept my head down so that my face would not be exposed by the street lights.I decided not to rush after her even if she started running.Anyway, I know the hotel where she works, and I know which station she gets off at.I don't need to worry, as long as I take the time, I will find out where she lives sooner or later. However, she wasn't as disturbed by Yeji as I thought.Almost unsuspecting, she walked up to an apartment building.The apartment faced the road and had a whole row of windows. I counted it. It was a five-story building, but there seemed to be no residence on the first floor. Without looking back, she entered through the main entrance of the apartment.Soon, it disappeared beyond the self-locking glass door. I stood across the road, looking up at the windows of the house.There are half and half windows with lights on and off.I stared intently, absolutely not missing the slightest change. Not long after, the light in the second window from the right on the fourth floor came on. I headed to Nakameguro immediately after get off work the next day.It was only after eight o'clock. I was across the road, looking up at the windows I had confirmed the day before.The lights in the house were off.I approach the apartment as invisibly as possible.On the left side of the self-locking gate, there are mailboxes from various houses.In addition, there is an administrator's room, but at this time there seems to be no one in the administrator's room, and the curtains on the windows are drawn. After making sure no one was there, I slipped into the hallway and stood in front of a row of mailboxes.According to the position of the window, I am pretty sure that Rieko Teraoka's house is either Room 402 or Room 407.I looked at the entire row of mailboxes, and thought room 402 was more likely. I took out something from my pocket, which I bought during my lunch break. It was a pair of tweezers, and a rather large one at that. I put the tweezers into the mailbox of Room 402, and found something inside. Then I grabbed the mail inside with the tweezers and carefully pulled it out.The top one was an advertising email from a cosmetics company, addressed to Mr. Muraoka. I'm sure it must be this one.The son should be pronounced "KIMIKO". Just to be on the safe side, I also peeked at the mailbox in Room 407.The postcard inside was pulled out and it was obvious that the recipient was a man's name, so I put the postcard back in the mailbox. I put Mr. Muraoka's mail in my arms, and hurriedly left the apartment, thinking that I would not be able to take a good look at the contents of the mail until I got home.If you procrastinate here, you will be in trouble if you are questioned by the residents. As soon as I got home, I opened the stolen emails without even changing my clothes; there were four in total, two of which were advertising emails, and the other two were invitations to a solo exhibition and a letter of introduction to a beauty salon. I am disappointed by this.It is impossible to know who she is by relying on these things alone.She seems to have a friend who is a painter, but she must be a customer of the shop anyway.Besides, even knowing the beauty parlor she often goes to is useless. However, I don't need to be disheartened, just knowing her real name is a big bonus, and there is no need to worry about stealing emails next time. Strange to say, I suddenly had the feeling of discovering something new.In fact, the next day I also went to Mr. Muraoka's apartment to steal the mail.Of course, when I stole the mail, I put back the mail I stole the day before.Although there was a delay in receiving the letter, she probably never dreamed that someone would peek at her mail. At the time, there was no such thing as a "stalker".If anything, it is undoubtedly referring to my behavior.I check my email almost every day, speculating on Mr. Muraoka's daily life and making friends.It is not easy to open the envelope without leaving any traces, but I always feel that the more difficult the envelope is, the more valuable the information in it is, so I don't feel troublesome at all.When I pulled out her credit card statement, I had a hard time getting my pounding heart to calm down. Mr. Muraoka seems to live a rather luxurious life.The reason why she received catalogs of high-end brand-name products all day long was probably because she had bought them before.Her phone bill was high for someone who lives alone.After all, the amount charged to her credit card was enough to leave me speechless.The installment payment seems to be quite a lot, which reminds me of Miharu. Although I have collected this information, it is not useful at all for my real purpose.Why would she do that to me?And why was it only for a while that he lived in another apartment, pretending it was his home? I also thought about making a surprise visit to Mr. Zhun when he was at home, but she may not be able to tell the truth.If one fails, maybe she will make a big fuss and call the police.As long as I don't say that I stole the mail, I shouldn't be arrested, but it will definitely hinder my future actions.Moreover, she is likely to escape without a trace again. I must get solid evidence before going to see her directly.To obtain such evidence, all I can think of is stealing mail. While I was stealing people's mail all day long, serious changes were gradually taking place in society-the stock market began to plummet.Even I, who knew nothing about securities trading, knew that the company I was holding was in a dangerous situation. I called the company to inquire about the situation, but I couldn't find Kuramo.Not only Kuramochi, but other cadres don't seem to be in the company either.The work-student in charge of answering the phone told me in a high-pitched voice that customers kept calling in angrily, and that he had a headache. I tried calling Kuramochi's house, but Yukiko answered the phone. "Hello, this is Cang Chi's." She was obviously afraid of something when she gave her name, and she was relieved when she knew it was me. "Is Kuramochi home?" I asked. "He didn't go home for two or three days. However, he did call back from outside." "where is he?" "He didn't tell me either. He just said he'd be back in a while." "Anyone else calling?" "A lot of people. Some people even cursed on the phone. Even if I said that my husband is not at home, the other party would not believe me. But why do they know the phone number at home?" I think it was probably threatened by the work-students, but I didn't say it. After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help snickering.Kuramochi was finally in trouble.So far, he has always wanted the wind to meet the wind, and the rain to meet the rain, but this world can't let him run amok.The sheepskin on that guy's body has finally been lifted, and the deceit will finally be exposed. Of course, I'm not worried about Kuramochi at all.I thought to myself, it is best for him to be caught as soon as possible, and let the public severely punish him. On that day, I also went to Mr. Muraoka's apartment and stole the mail as usual.That has become my routine. The payoff for that day was three emails.Two of them were advertising emails, and the remaining one made my heart beat wildly.It was a sealed letter, and it felt like a personal letter."Respectfully, Mr. Muraoka" was written on the light pink envelope with a ballpoint pen.Who is the sender?Judging from the style of the envelope and notes, it should be a woman.There is a saying that there are more secrets between women than between men and women. I am very excited, and I have a feeling that I may finally catch a big fish. As soon as I got on the tram, I couldn't wait to read the sender's name of the letter.In an instant, my mind was in chaos.It felt like something that couldn't happen, but it happened.Because, I recognize that name. Miharu Sekiguchi... I can say that this name is all too familiar.Why does the ex-wife's name appear on this letter?What exactly is Meiqing looking for a son?No, having said that, why did Meiqing know the son's address? An almost nauseating feeling came over me.I don't know how it happened, but I'm sure it must be a bad thing for me. I rudely tore open the envelope as soon as I got off at the next stop.I can no longer open the envelope as leisurely as usual. I dumped a few photos and a note from the envelope.A few photos of the son seem to have been taken abroad.And one of them turned out to be a photo of the young master and Meiqing.The two smiled happily at the camera. I picked up the letter paper with shaking hands, and it was written on it: "This is a photo taken in Spain. It would be nice to take more pictures. Let's go somewhere else another day."
