The next day, Hamaka went to BLUE SNOW on Aoyama Avenue.He didn't want to be looked down upon, so he put on a suit he hadn't worn for a long time.Said it was the latest suit, but it was also bought four years ago. The company is on the fourth floor.He was a little timid and began to hate himself.Just before this year, he never lost confidence, no matter how great the big shots.But now?As soon as I took the elevator, I started to feel restless. The office and showroom of BLUE SNOW is a glass structure, and the products are displayed facing the road. In addition to precious metals, there are also health foods and other things.

As soon as he entered the door, the lady at the front desk greeted him with a smile: "Welcome." He took out his business card from his pocket and walked forward.This business card was newly made after entering the small shop where I work, and I seldom give it to people because there is no need for it. "I want to meet your president." The lady at the front desk looked at him in surprise, but still kept a smile on her face, said "please wait a moment", then walked away from him, and said to an older woman sitting at a nearby table what. He turned his head and looked at the showcase next to him.It says "BSoriginal No.1" and the ring is displayed inside.After seeing the style, he quickly took a deep breath, trying to control himself not to make a sound.

After a while, the two women came together. "Sorry, you don't have an appointment?" the older woman asked. "um, yes." There was a cold look in her eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses, but there was still a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth. "What's the matter with you? Just tell us." "I have something to talk to President Xinhai directly, please convey it to me. If the president is out, I can wait here." Hamaka also replied with a smile.He has long been used to pretending to laugh. The woman seemed a little embarrassed, but her attitude remained unchanged. "The president is meeting guests...you are..." She looked down at the business card, "Mr. Bangzhong, I will convey it to the president."

It seemed that she didn't want to inform the president.This attitude was not unexpected, he had been in the same situation as her once. Hamaka took out another business card from his suit pocket. He tried not to use it as much as possible, but this would not lead to any progress.He handed the business card to the other party. "Please give this business card to the president right away. If the president is still not interested, I will leave here myself." That was my business card when I was working in Huawu.Although I knew in my heart that I would throw it away sooner or later, I kept it in the drawer.I took three or four today.

The other party seemed a little overwhelmed.It is true that the people in Huawu can't be thrown out casually, but they have never heard of this name, so they don't know how to receive them.She must have never heard of the stench incident. "The person in charge of Huawu's jewelry counter seems to be Mr. Sakuragi..." I know it in detail.Hearing the surname Sakuragi, Bangzhong felt a burst of unhappiness: That stunned young man actually took my place! "You show it to President Xinhai, she will definitely understand. Please." He still bowed his head and begged with a smile on his face.

The other party thought for a moment: "Please wait a moment." Then he disappeared into the office inside.Hamaka sighed, and looked at the front desk lady who was still standing beside her.She didn't seem to know what to do, and she looked a little awkward. "I'm not suspicious." He smiled kindly. She also recovered her smiling face and returned to her seat. "Even selling health food?" he asked. "Well, there are several health supplements that are good for beauty, and there are also trial products here." "No, no need, I'm a man, and I'm past the age of paying attention to appearance."

Just then, the woman with glasses came out. "The president said he wants to see you, this way please." "Great." Bangzhong smiled at the front desk lady, and raised his legs to follow. There is a door in the office, and the woman in glasses opens it after knocking. "The guests are here." She nodded towards Bangzhong. Hamaka walked in, and Mifuyu was sitting at the table opposite the reception sofa, reading documents.She raised her head, didn't look at Bangzhong, but said to the woman behind him: "I don't call you, no one is allowed to come in."

"Understood." The woman agreed and withdrew.After the door closed, Meifuyu stood up, looked straight at Hamaka, and walked over unceremoniously. "haven't seen you for a long time." "I heard that you are developing well, and I have also seen Huawu's brochure." "Would you please sit down and have a drink? She didn't seem to hear him at all. "No, I just want to talk to you." "It's been a long time. I was really surprised when I saw the business card. Please sit down." She asked Hamaka to sit on the sofa again, and sat down herself.

Hamaka stared at her face intently, sat down, and then looked around the room.There is no extra decoration in the house, only the glass cabinet is quite conspicuous, and the decorations inside are all the products of this company. "To be honest, I thought you wouldn't see me." "Why? It's the president's job to meet all kinds of people, especially in a small company like ours." "Speaking like this, you can do big things. Haven't you already cooperated with Huawu? By the way, I forgot to congratulate you." Bangzhong put his knees together, bowed his head and said, "Congratulations on your marriage."

Of course, the words were full of irony, he thought the other party would be displeased, but when he looked up, Meifuyu didn't waver at all, and nodded slowly, acting gracefully. "Thank you. We're both too busy to feel married right now." "I heard that you married him, I was really surprised." Bangzhong gritted his teeth and insisted on this topic, "I didn't expect it to be the president of Huawu." "It should be called fate." Meidong prevaricates easily. It seems that I want to pretend completely, and I am also mentally prepared—Bang Zhong adjusted his sitting posture and let out a dry cough. "I have two or three things I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Meidong looked at her watch, it was obvious that she didn't have much time to chat.Bangzhong pretended not to see it. "First of all, it was three years ago. I guess you don't want to bring it up again, and neither do I, but I want to find out. Maybe you want to ask why you bring up the old story again, but the reason is yours. I will talk about this later. I heard you Tell the police at the time that you didn't date me. Why did you lie?" The smile on Mifuyu's face disappeared.She squeezed her lips together, exhaled heavily through her nostrils, folded her arms, stared at Hamaka and shook her head. "Why do you still say such things? Can you stop it?" "Ah, you want to hide your relationship with me. I don't understand that. At that time, I became a suspect for no reason. If everyone knew about my extramarital affair, even you would not be able to continue working in Huawu. But just as You know, it wasn't me, neither the stinky incident nor the stalker who stalked the other shop girls. So, can you apologize to me here? If you'll admit your relationship with me then, I'll Suspicions have long since been ruled out.” Meidong looked at him with pity: "Do you think I will admit such a thing?" "No one here can hear it, just you and me. I hope you can apologize to me and say that you lied at the time, and I'm sorry." Meidong shook her head, stood up, pointed to the door and said, "Please go back." "Hey, wait." "To be honest, I don't want to see you. But even though it wasn't long, you were the boss who took care of me before deciding to see you. I never thought you would say this." "Wait, Mifuyu." "Why do you call me by my first name?" Meidong walked to the table, grabbed the phone, as if to call someone. "I haven't finished talking. There is one more thing, it seems to be called 'BSoriginal No.1', and it is the ring." Her hand was about to press a button, but she stopped when she heard the words, but she still put the microphone against her ear, looked at him and said, "What's wrong with the ring?" "From my observation, it seems to be your company's first trial product." "Indeed." "Who is the designer?" "Me." Meifuyu said and put the microphone back, "What do you want to say?" Hamaka leaned on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked up at Meifuyu: "You can say such a thing without shame! That ring was designed. What did you say at the time? It was given to you in that hotel in Koto District. When you look at the drawings." "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all." "Don't pretend to be confused. I read Huawu's brochure carefully, and there are at least five rings in it that are made based on my design." "Please don't make provocations out of nowhere. Those products are all developed by our company and Huawu, and are not designed by a third party at all." "I mean, you remembered my design. How could the designer be wrong?" Hamaka stood up and walked towards the cabinet.There are also several rings on display. "This is also my design, the second from the right." He looked back at Mifuyu, "I came up with the design of placing the gemstones in a vertical position. The brochure says that it has been patented. Tell you I'm the one who probably patented this design, and it's on the bed." I thought Meifuyu would be full of anger, but unexpectedly she smiled, which made Hamaka a little embarrassed. "Regarding that patent, many people came to consult or protest, and they all said that they had considered a similar design. It cannot be said that this is an original creation of our company." "What I want to say is—" "In response to these protests, we answered this way: Regarding patents, if you have any objections, please go to the patent office to go through specific procedures. In addition, if you have come up with similar designs in the past, please show evidence. Of course, even if you show a few drawings And finished products, there is no meaning, it can only be considered as imitating our company's products." Meifuyu produced evidence in Ranghama.Of course she knew that she had plagiarized the idea that appeared in the pillow talk.But as she said, there is no evidence. "I don't want to talk about patents, and I don't want you to pay for the design. You can just tell me here, and I hope you can say--I have succeeded with my design, but I used it as my own thing. Thank you. If you apologize to me at the same time, saying that you concealed the fact that the two of you had a relationship at that time, I am sorry, then I will be satisfied, and I will leave here immediately and contentedly." Mifuyu spread her hands, as if saying that she couldn't continue the conversation.She reached out her right hand to pick up the phone. "Mitou." "Didn't I tell you that you are not qualified to call me by my name, and there is no reason to make things difficult for me like this." "Do you dare to say such a thing? I will tell President Akimura about my relationship with you." Someone knocked on the door, and the woman with glasses poked her head in. "The guest is leaving, see him off." Meidong said dryly. "Wait, I have something to say." "Enough! I don't have time to listen to people who were fired by Huawu." "Who do you think caused the dismissal?" "Yourself," Mifuyu said calmly, "because of your despicable act of stalking others." The expression of the woman with the glasses stiffened immediately, as if she was looking at something dirty. "Please go back, the president is very busy. If you don't listen, you have to listen to the guard." "Remember, you will definitely regret it." Hamaka pushed her away and left the office.
