As the bus incident came to an end, the ripples of turmoil returned to calm. However, the ripples that spread out still disturbed many people.
...Curaçao, far outside of Tokyo, is one of them.
"I didn't realize you were so timid before." Rum's voice came from the receiver, with a hint of dissatisfaction, "It's really troublesome to accidentally enter Uzo's stage, but you should have been observing from the side and reporting the situation to me at any time.
, instead of leaving in a car without authorization, or even running off for a business trip in advance without authorization."
Curacao: "..." It's simple to say, but how can you be sure that I was outside the stage and not somewhere where I could be used as cannon fodder at any time?
Curacao: "I'm very sorry, I will pay attention next time."
... Pay attention to evade in a more timely manner so as to completely bypass that guy's stage.
"Huh, you're the best." Rum was dissatisfied, but he would not punish a capable subordinate for such an unplanned matter.
His attention quickly returned to business: "Come back as soon as possible. That guy has been restless recently and keeps meeting with lawyers frequently. I'm afraid he will take action soon - I arranged for someone to approach him, but
He was too alert. So I decided to change my mind and start from the other side."
Rum flipped through the information at hand: "The lawyer he is looking for is the famous 'Queen of Legal Affairs'. It just so happens that you are also a lawyer - go and contact Fei Yingli and see what information you can get from her."
"Fei Yingli?" Curacao's fingers trembled, and the cup in his palm almost fell.
As a "lawyer", of course she has heard of this name, but not only because of the other party's superb professional standards and famous record, but also because... this person seems to be Maori Lan's mother, Maori Kogoro's
wife.
…and also Uzo’s former neighbor.
Curacao opened his mouth, and the sentence "Can't you find another way?" came to his mouth, and in the end he could only swallow it alive.
——She was just scolded by Rum for hiding from Uzo. If she opens her mouth for this kind of thing again now, then her career as "the second in command around Rum" will probably come to an end.
As we all know, the organization did not retire, did not resign, if it really caused Rum's growing dissatisfaction...
Curacao: "...Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at her phone and fell into deep thought.
"...If I had known this, I shouldn't have taken the bar exam at that time." Curacao hated his photographic memory for the first time, "Wouldn't it be better to do something else? For example, make sushi like a rum.
.”
But the matter has come to this, and it is too late to regret.
Curacao could only press his forehead and comfort himself: "The problem is not big. I remember that although Fei Yingli is Mao Lilan's mother, she has not divorced Mao Li Kogoro yet, but she has long been separated from the father and daughter.
, we can’t see each other more than once a year.
"In other words, the interactions between her and Jiang Xia are even more pitiful. As long as I pay attention to avoiding them, I probably won't encounter them."
Having said that…
Curacao walked to the window, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and sighed silently.
——Ten seconds ago, her irresistible boss just asked her to end what she was doing as soon as possible and return to Tokyo. But now, she only has the urge to stay here and never go back.
"If it weren't for Uzo," Curacao leaned against the window and sighed silently, "my work would be so happy."
…
There are many people with similar sentiments.
Vodka, who is living a miserable life in Tokyo, is one of them.
The parking lot of Miwa General Hospital.
After getting off the gin car with three steps and looking back, Vodka didn't dare to stay long. While the gin was still nearby, he took three steps at a time and entered the hospital quickly.
As the assistant of Brother Gin, Vodka knows how busy this key person is at ordinary times. Taking Brother's car to the hospital is probably only done once.
So before coming, Vodka took advantage of last night's break to make an appointment carefully - that abominable fisherman Dr. Shirai finally stopped missing work today. And because of this guy's work attitude, the number of people making appointments with him dropped rapidly.
, vodka was a blessing in disguise and easily registered.
"I don't know what kind of person that bastard Dr. Shirai is."
Vodka walked skillfully to the consulting room while clenching his fists angrily: "How many times have I risked my life to come here, and finally I can see him, and the three visits to the thatched cottage are nothing more than this... If this continues, even if Uzo lets him go, I will
I can’t help but want to kill him.”
The murderous aura of the ice cream emerged silently, and soon fell to the ground under the vigilant introspection of the vodka.
He adjusted the brown glasses on his face and sat in the waiting area like other patients.
…
It seems that he is waiting calmly for treatment, but in fact, Vodka has countless ways of being disturbed in his mind - some sudden patient injury incident, some hospital bomb incident...
However, unexpectedly, until the little nurse called his number, nothing as expected happened.
"Mr. Yamada? Is Mr. Yamada here?" The nurse looked at the number and last name displayed on the screen, "Please enter the clinic 307."
Vodka suddenly came back to his senses, put away those terrible conjectures in his mind, stood up in surprise and walked into the house.
In the room, a man with an average appearance and slightly mean eye lines was wearing a white coat and sitting at the table.
This man was really not good-looking, but the moment he saw him, Vodka's eyes twitched and almost burst into tears.
——Finally, I finally met this hateful doctor!
The patient's gaze was eager and resentful, but unfortunately the other party did not notice it.
Dr. Shirai picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip without even bothering to look at the door. When he heard someone coming in, he just glanced at the customer information on the screen, and then asked casually: "What are the symptoms?"
This comfortable posture made Dr. Shirai himself feel strange.
He looked at his leisurely reflection on the screen and couldn't help but laugh in his heart: Who would have thought that just a week or two ago, he was still vying for the position of a director?
——Dr. Shirai has a father who is a vice president. This sounds very good, but there is a president above the vice president, and there is even more than one vice president. His father's power is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.
the point.
And this means that even with his father's help, he must work harder if he wants to be promoted to director.
If the spring is stretched too tight, it will easily break, and if someone tries too hard, it will easily break.
Dr. Shirai gradually grew tired of his spinning top father who worked hard every day to go to work, write papers, maintain interpersonal relationships, and deal with chores.
At this moment, a mysterious rich man offered him another path in life, and he was surprised to find that money in the world can be so easy to come by.
