When Yaye was talking, Meidong held her chin and looked out of the window.Perhaps for disguise, she wore flat glasses, a nondescript gray sweater and a black skirt. The two were in a homely restaurant facing Kasai Bridge Avenue.It's three o'clock in the afternoon, it's neither early nor late, and there are very few customers in the store. "She asked me to show her my driver's license. You can't just make up a name. Even if you didn't have a driver's license, she probably would have used other methods to confirm my identity. At that time, there was no other way." Looking at the silent Mei Dong Ya also continued, "Anyway, I really messed up this time. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." He lowered his head.

Mifuyu remained silent.She picked up the teacup, took a sip of the milk tea, put down the cup again, sighed, and finally said: "It's okay, there's nothing you can do about it." "You're not angry?" "What's the point of being mad at you? Always make you do dangerous tightrope walks, and you've been prepared for this to happen. Don't care about what's already happened." "You can say that, I feel better." "Besides, there are gains, so you don't have to be so depressed." "But it's probably useless now. Kurata Yorie will definitely investigate the mountain god. If he knows that he has been cheated, he will definitely not contribute."

Mifuyu stared at Masaya with a smile on her lips. "I know that person searches for money-making information all day long and wants to invest in multiple ways. I can feel that she is very concerned about the status quo that her financial strength is not strong enough. It is probably because of this inferiority complex that she is obsessed with investing and wants to grow up while her husband is not at home. Make a fortune." "If the investment fails, it is an excellent handle." "Well. But it's hard to say whether she will be easily deceived by the man named Mountain God. She is very cautious in her work. Before investing, I think she will ask the investigation company used by Huawu to conduct an investigation."

"Oh. So, it's just that she knows my name, and there's nothing else to gain." Ya also clenched his lips, and he is still regretting that he was discovered by Lai Jiang. "It depends on what you think, the harvest I said is completely different. Yaya, didn't you approach her? And you were not suspected at all." "So what if it's close?" "There are some things that can't be grasped by just tracking, so you should try to build a good relationship with her. You know that she is keen on pottery, maybe it's a good plan for you to learn pottery with her."

"Do not make jokes." Meidong's eyes became serious: "I'm not joking." Yaya was about to ask what it meant when the cell phone in his coat pocket rang.Since the year before last, he bought a mobile phone. "How rare! Your cell phone rang." indeed so.This mobile phone is only used to contact Meidong, except for Meidong, only a few people know the number, and those are people who have not been contacted for more than a year. Looking at the screen, Yaya blinked, and it showed "Kurata Raie" entered a few days ago.At that time, they also exchanged mobile phone numbers.

"It's really coming when we talk about it," she said with a smile, "Hurry up and pick it up." Ya also pressed the call button: "Hi, I'm Suwon." "Hello, I'm Kurata. I was really rude a few days ago." Lai Jiang's voice seemed a little excited. "I made you laugh." "I have carefully investigated the situation of Neo Water, and it is exactly as you said." "right." What Lai Jiang was talking about was the investment plan recommended to her by the person surnamed Shanshen, who seemed to be suggesting that she invest in the production and sales of a strange water called Neo Water.

"I have the relevant investigation materials of that company on hand. If you want, I can show them to you. Didn't you say that you were also entrusted to investigate Mr. Shanshen?" "Is it appropriate to show me something so important?" When Yaya was on the phone, Meifuyu took out a notepad and wrote something quickly. "To me, it doesn't matter who you show that stuff to. I think there should be an exchange of information like this." "Ah, yes." Mei Dong turned over the notepad and showed it to him, on which was scrawled: "If there is a chance to meet, don't refuse."

He nodded at her. "Okay, if there is any information about this, I really want to see it. You can tell me a time, any place, I will go there." "How about tomorrow? Tomorrow at one o'clock at noon?" "Can." "Then set it at one o'clock, or in the tea room of the hotel last time." "OK." After hanging up the phone, Ya also told Mifuyu the content of the conversation.She nodded. "interesting." "Really? Isn't it just for me to look at the information?" "I feel like it's going to be interesting. At times like this, my intuition usually won't go wrong." Her eyes were full of attempts. "Work hard tomorrow, dress neatly, and cut your hair."

Ya also smiled wryly, "What are you dressing up to meet a fifty-year-old aunt?" Mei Dong shrunk her chin and said in a low voice: "Even if you are fifty years old, you are still a woman. Don't forget this." The next day, Ya also came to the agreed place about ten minutes earlier.He waited while drinking coffee, and Lai Jiang also came after a while.She was wearing a lavender sweater and black pants, and was holding a coat and a large bag. "I kept you waiting." Seeing Ya Ye, she greeted with a smile. "Thank you for calling me." Ya also bowed her head.

"I should be the one to thank you. I almost had bad luck. I'm pregnant with royal milk tea." After speaking to the waiter, she immediately turned her head to look at Ya Ye, "You reminded me that time, you really saved me. " "As long as I don't do too much." "It's superfluous." She shook her head, "To be honest, I completely believed in that person. The fact of obtaining the patent is indeed true. The name of the authoritative research institution is on the materials explaining the efficacy, and a bunch of them are listed among the company's directors. The names of big names, including former MPs."

"It's all a lie, right?" "Whether it is a deception is a little subtle. The company does exist, and it is not a lie to produce this kind of water. The question is whether it can be operated as a real company." "It's called Neo Water, but I've heard of using water with a changed molecular structure." "That said, I'm not completely lying. But in this situation, what are you going to do? If it's just to get away with money, I feel that it's too costly." "Those people have another purpose. They just told me that they want to invest, but they also attracted many small members through other channels. They told those people that as long as they can increase their membership, they can get dividends." "Oh, I see." Ya also nodded vigorously, "It's the so-called illegal fundraising." "I don't know whether Neo Water will be sold in the market in the future, but it will definitely distribute dividends in a business state that will go bankrupt as soon as the business is closed, so as to gain the trust of members and let them introduce relatives and friends, thereby raising huge funds According to the information obtained by the investigation company, there are already hundreds of members." Ya also shrank her shoulders: "There are already so many victims!" "They don't think they are victims yet. In this era when investing in stocks may not necessarily make money, many people are looking for reliable investment channels." Speaking of this, Lai Jiang smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't qualified to say these things.” "You ended up canceling your investment plan anyway." "So, this time is really thanks to Mr. Mizuhara." Lai Jiang took out the investigation materials from his bag.Ya also took a general look, it was just a supplement to what she said just now, besides, he didn't care whether it was a mountain god, Neo Water, or a victim. "Understood, I will tell the president who commissioned me to investigate this situation." Ya also returned the information to Lai Jiang. "That's good." When Lai Jiang put the materials back into the bag, a piece of clothing that looked like a sportswear was exposed inside. "Are you going to the fitness club?" Ya also asked tentatively. "Ah, what are you talking about? No, I'm going to the pottery class next, and I'm ready in advance, because I have to play with the mud and it will stain the clothes." "Are you learning pottery?" "It's just started, less than a year ago." While looking at Lai Jiang who was drinking milk tea, Yaya remembered what Meidong said to him: "I'm not joking." "Ceramic art... is really good." Ya also picked up the coffee cup, "I have always wanted to try the drawing machine that spins around. Should I make the prototype first and then process it? I heard that there is also a blowing method. " "Huh?" Lai Jiang raised his eyebrows, "You know so much." "I learned a little before, and I wanted to learn it, but I gave up because I didn't have time." This is of course a lie.Because I guessed that pottery art would be involved in the conversation, I hurriedly picked up some knowledge in this area last night.Needless to say, it was Mifuyu's instructions. "Do you still want to learn now?" Lai Jiang moved his face closer to look at Ya Ye. "I'm thinking about it, but I don't have a chance. Now that the recession is bad, I don't care about learning this." "Life is not just about work, you have to relax once in a while." "That's right." When we met last time, I told Lai Jiang that my job is metal processing, and I didn’t have any work recently, so I only help people investigate things, which is considered part-time work. "The pottery class starts at 2:30. If you want, how about going together? I can experience a day first. It's nearby, and it only takes about five minutes to walk." "But I'm not prepared." He declined first. "No preparation is required. At the beginning, it is kneading mud balls. The professional name is kneading chrysanthemums." "I've heard that it is to knead the mud into the shape of a chrysanthemum." "You've been doing manual work, so you'll definitely learn it quickly. Go for it, and it won't cost much. Try it once first, and if you feel bored, just stop going." "Would it be too conspicuous for someone like me to go?" "Recently there are a lot of young people, and everyone focuses on their own works and doesn't care about others at all." Lai Jiang is very enthusiastic, and it seems that he is not just inviting in form. "Then, if not, I'll go and have a look." Lai Jiang's expression brightened a lot. "That's it, this is also a kind of fate." "Okay." Yaya replied. Lai Jiang looked at his watch, stood up, and at the same time reached out to take the bill: "Let me buy it, thanks to you, I avoided a big loss." Looking at the back of Lai Jiang who was walking towards the cashier in a sassy manner, Ya also felt that she was on a road from which she could not turn back.
