That night, Chi Feichi and Karasuma Hideya stayed another night in an English-style bungalow.
The next morning, Karasuma Hideya had breakfast, handed a front door key to Chi Feichi, and said in a gentle tone, "I originally wanted to take down the Christmas decorations with you before leaving, but there are things that I need to handle in person.
I have to go. If you like to live here, you can stay for two more days. I will ask someone to leave a car for you outside. Remember to take down the decorations on the Christmas tree before January 5th..."
According to British Christmas customs, Christmas decorations must be taken down before January 5th. If you keep Christmas decorations after January 5th, you may encounter bad luck in the new year.
Although Chi Feichi did not believe that this would usher in bad luck, he still decided to follow the custom, put away the keys, and promised, "I will take down the decorations later."
"Then I'll leave it to you," Karasuma Hideya stood up and walked out accompanied by Chi Feichi, "After my operation over the years, the real estate on this street now belongs to the Karasuma family. Before we came here,
I have arranged for manpower to monitor nearby movements in the house at the intersection. After I leave, I will leave some manpower there to help you guard. If you find them watching upstairs when you leave, don't worry."
"I see."
Chi Feichi, disguised with raki, saw Karasuma Hideya out. After Karasuma Hideya and Jane got into the car and left, he turned back to the living room, walked to the sofa and sat down.
Fei Chi climbed out of Chi Fei Chi's collar, jumped to the table, put his head into the cup and drank some water. He turned around and saw Chi Fei Chi leaning on the sofa, distracted, his expression seemed colder than before, and he spoke uncertainly.
Asked, "Master, are you in a bad mood?"
"No," Chi Feichi focused his eyes on Feichi and explained, "Maybe it's because of the sin of arrogance that I want to stay quietly for a while."
"Has the trial period of the sin of pride begun?" Fei Chi couldn't calculate the time when the original sin would arrive. He jumped to the sofa in surprise, and felt guilty after thinking about it, "I'm sorry, master, I was in a hurry after getting up in the morning.
Lou was playing with his grandfather and didn't notice your situation..."
"It's okay. In fact, I didn't feel any obvious changes." Chi Feichi let Feichi climb up his arm and put his eyes on the wooden wall panel opposite, carefully feeling the change in his mood, "It's just
I don’t really want to pay attention to the things around me, but it doesn’t seem like that.”
Today is the first day that he has entered the experience period of the sin of pride. The impact of the sin of pride on him may be very slight, and he does not feel much.
When he was washing up in the morning, he looked at his face reflected in the mirror and found that his expression seemed a little colder than usual. However, he was not a cheerful and smiling person. He would often show such an expression, such as when he was low on energy.
Sometimes, when his mood is too calm, or when he is thinking about something important, his expression may appear colder than usual. As long as he slightly adjusts his expression and eyes, he can hide it from Fei Chi and his grandfather.
He didn't want his grandfather to notice anything strange.
After all, the two of them spent Christmas happily together yesterday, and nothing special happened last night. If he suddenly showed a cold look today, his grandfather might feel that his mood changed too quickly after noticing it.
, I suspect that his mental illness has relapsed, which will cause his grandfather to worry and not tell him, and it will be troublesome for him to find reasons to explain. It is better to manage his expression and eyes early, so as not to let his grandfather find out.
From the current point of view, his grandfather should have been dealt with.
As long as he can deal with his grandfather, who has been with him day and night in the past two days, others won't have to worry so much - when people want their own space, isn't it normal that he really wants to interact with others these past two days?
…
After resting quietly for a while, Chi Feichi got up and cleaned up the Christmas decorations in the room. He took down the decorations on the Christmas tree, the fireplace, and the window. He put on gloves, wiped the decorations carefully with a towel, and put them into categories and left.
In the boxes I found earlier, I put several boxes into the storage room and put them away.
The fir tree that served as the Christmas tree in the living room was also chopped into several sections by Chi Feichi with a chainsaw, wrapped in a tarpaulin, and stuffed into the back seat of a car parked outside.
After cleaning the living room, Chi Feichi checked the raki on his face to disfigure his face, then walked out of the front door, locked the door and drove away.
Deal with the fir trees in the car, drive back to Tokyo, find a secluded place to change the disguise, and then...
Because I didn’t want to talk to the people in the restaurant, I chose to go back to the Seven Detectives’ Office and cook for myself.
Feichi lay on Chi Feichi's shoulder, watching Chi Feichi calmly cook a meal for one person with vegetables, meat and soup, and said thoughtfully, "Master, you don't want to pay attention to the things around you.
Is it possible that not wanting to talk to other people is a sin of pride that makes you feel that other people don't deserve your attention?"
"Those people outside are all Muggles," Chi Feichi walked out of the kitchen with a cold expression, carrying the soup bowl, "Isn't it normal for me to think so?"
Fei Chi had just watched the "Harry Potter" movie in this world not long ago, and knowing what "Muggle" meant, he immediately looked at Chi Fei Chi in shock.
It's over, its owner has been completely tainted by the sin of pride!
"I'm kidding you." Chi Feichi said expressionlessly. He put the small soup bowl on the dining table, took off his apron, and put it on the back of the chair next to him.
Fei Chi jumped up to the table, tilted his head and stared at Chi Fei Chi.
With this expression on his face, it was completely impossible to tell that the owner was joking.
Is it really okay?
Chi Feichi pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down. When he saw Feichi staring at him, he picked up a piece of braised eel with chopsticks and asked proactively, "Do you want to try a piece?"
"Okay," Feichi immediately put the question behind him, swept the small plate on the table in front of Chi Feichi with his tail, and stared at the eel pieces between the chopsticks, "I'll try it too!"
"You just ate a lot of meat the night before, don't eat too much today." Chi Feichi put the eel segments on Fei Chi's small plate, and gave Fei Chi two stir-fried vegetables before starting to eat.
The food in front of you.
Fei Chi gulped down the food on the small plate.
Its owner will also share food with it, which is not arrogant at all!
Chi Fei had lunch leisurely. Although he didn't really want to interact with people, his desire to deal with work still defeated everything. After putting away the tableware, he called Oyama Mi.
"Mr. Oyama, I have returned to Tokyo... I want to meet the four people I selected from the secretary candidates before deciding who to keep... Yes, I am free this afternoon...
Then I will go to the company now, and the interview will start at three o'clock in the afternoon. You inform them to get ready...The order of the meeting is also decided by you."
Even during the Sin of Pride experience, there is still work to be done.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Fei arrived late at Umbrella's Tokyo headquarters, met with Oyama Mi in his office, and borrowed Oyama Mi's secretary to help prepare for the interview.
Previously, Dashan Yaqian compiled a recommendation list for Chi Feichi from among the company's veteran employees with outstanding abilities and work experience. As a result, of the five people on the list, none of the five people on the list made Chi Feichi think it was feasible.
After Chi Feichi made it clear that "professional quality comes first, professional ability comes second, and professional experience is the last consideration" for secretary selection, Dashan Mi quickly compiled a list of ten people for Chi Feichi.
Among the list of ten people this time, there were quite a few people that Chi Feichi thought were good. From then on, Chi Feichi picked and selected the four people he was most satisfied with.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, under Dashan Mi's arrangement, four secretary candidates walked into Chi Feichi's office one after another.
Each secretary candidate has half an hour to introduce their career plans and demonstrate their work skills corresponding to their positions. After that, Chi Feichi and Oyama Ya will ask a few more questions to get to know the candidates better.
Attitudes and solutions to different things.
In this way, Chi Feichi and Dashan Mi met with all four candidates within two hours and had a brief exchange.
