Chapter 7, On Duty
In any case, even if the memories of the Technician and Uesugi Soxue are combined, he still lacks experience in how to get along with women. He has experienced women over the years, but most of them are a night of love and never create more intersections. It is normal for him to be unable to withstand the girl's teasing.
"So, where are you living now? I'll take you home." Walking out of the restaurant, Zong Xue took out the address of the girl's apartment. The girl went to Beijing alone. The house prices in Tokyo are notoriously high. In order to reduce the burden on the girl in this regard, he found someone at home and arranged a relatively cheap apartment for the girl.
"Nogizaka xxme xx Ding." Mai Shiraishi skillfully reported the address. Perhaps thinking that she hadn't seen each other for several years and was about to separate again, her eyes wandered, looking absent-minded.
"...???" Uesugi Soxue rolled her eyes, and suddenly he thought of something: "Wait! Do you live in Building 7?"
"Yes! Isn't that the house I found for me by the senior?" the girl asked curiously.
"...It's also... After all, I'm looking for the same person... By the way, I've lived upstairs for two months, and we don't even know." Zong Xue covered her face with her hands, and her head was covered with black lines.
But thinking about it, Mai Shiraishi goes out to school at 7 o'clock in the morning, while Soyuki Uesugi goes to work at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the girl goes out to school at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, while Soyuki Uesugi doesn't get off work until almost 9 o'clock in the evening, and she often works overtime on weekends. It's not long for two months, and it's reasonable to not see it.
"Hey? Senior, it turns out that he has been living upstairs!" Shiraishi Mai was shocked, and then a burst of joy surged into her heart.
The girl is actually very lonely when she goes to Beijing to go to school alone. Although her parents come to see her from time to time or stay with her for a day or two, most of the time, the girl is still alone. She usually attends school and goes shopping with her friends on weekends. However, when she returns to the apartment at night, the girl still feels lonely.
Now it’s time! Senior lives upstairs!
"Anyway, I'll take you home first!" Zong Xue shrugged: "I have to be on duty tonight."
"Today is Friday. Do you still have to be on duty?" In the girl's opinion, tomorrow is the weekend. Why do you still have to be on duty on Friday?
"I'm on duty today, I don't have to go to work on weekends." Zong Xue said with a wry smile. It was his misfortune to have RB's corporate culture.
Over the years, he has rushed to buy Google's listed stocks, participated in the launch of Facebook and Twitter, participated in the development of Android systems, and intermediated Google's acquisition of Android companies. His wealth is already extremely valuable. However, due to his dream of being a technology resident, he still chose to work overtime all day, and ended up like this.
"Um~~~" The girl pouted, and ate a meal in a hurry. After saying a few words, the senior was about to leave. She was a little reluctant, so she asked tentatively: "Then, can I go together?"
Shirama wants to be on duty with me? Uesugi Soxue frowned at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is really not impossible.
As a company director, he has his own independent office, and his office is arranged in a relatively remote corner of the high-rise building. There is an elevator that is not often used on this side of the Sony **Z building. As long as you take the girl along this road, basically no one will notice it.
He is the only one on duty on that floor today.
After decades of exhibitions, Sony has become more bloated and formal. Although there are directors on duty, in addition to having meetings, some elderly directors only work half a day a day. It is because he is young and does not give anyone a lecture, so he chooses to work all day. After the observation period is over, he will not have to work so hard.
It is a common practice to be on duty for directors, but in fact, no matter what you have, it is actually difficult to find a director. Starting from an ordinary staff, there are section chiefs, acting ministers and ministers, and then department heads. If you really have a department supervisor or even a general manager, you will usually notify Ceo Kitanoki. The so-called directors' duty is just a formality. Uesugi Soxue has been on duty for a lot of time in two months, but nothing is wrong at all. He often uses his own computer to watch movies and play games.
It's boring to be on duty alone.
An old director once told him that the directors don’t have to be so serious on duty. He will go home after nine o’clock in the evening when everyone is almost off work. However, Uesugi Soxue has always been serious in work. He often waits until eleven o’clock and almost everyone has been exposed before choosing to go home.
Being entrusted by others and being loyal to others is a basic professional quality. I have just started working, so I can't cut corners all day long like those old foxes in the workplace. The technical mates in my previous life hate such people the most because as a grassroots technician, he has suffered a lot of losses from these foxes. It's his responsibility to work more and get less.
Not only that, he would also go to the office below to see what everyone was doing. So, in just two months, the new director had a good reputation within the company. Many people were originally jealous of him and said that he had held such a high position by relying on his background and relationships.
"Tomorrow is a weekend, it doesn't matter. Senior, you work, I'll do my homework next to you." Seeing the man hesitating, the girl added a sentence, looking at Zong Xue with a pitiful look on her face. Although she didn't know why, she knew that it would be difficult for her senior to refuse the request she made like this.
"...Okay." No matter what, this girl is Mai Shiraishi, and this request is not too much. Uesugi Soxue thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "But you can't go to the company in this outfit, it's too conspicuous."
If he brought a girl in a sunrise high school uniform into his office and was seen, God knows what those employees would think?
Like the people of the Celestial Empire, RB people like gossip, or gossip is human nature.
I'm afraid there will be rumors soon the next day, such as Uesugi director's office xx and so on.
In order to facilitate work, the apartment that Uesugi Soxue bought is very close to the Sony **Z building, only a few minutes away. He asked the driver to drive downstairs to his house and watched the girl go upstairs to change her clothes.
In the middle of summer, the air was filled with a hot smell, and the temperature was still very high. Before he knew it, sweat had wet his shirt. In such a hot weather, wearing a formal black suit was a test for a man in his twenties.
However, RB's culture is like this. Suits represent seriousness and formality. As long as you are an office worker, you will wear a suit no matter how hot the weather is. Most people who don't wear suits will give people an impression of being unreasonable and will be classified as unreliable in the eyes of others.
So Uesugi Soyuki can only choose to wear a suit with everyone.
He didn't let him wait too long. After about ten minutes, the girl changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Huh! Seeing the girl's outfit, Zong Xue's breathing became a little heavier.
The girl changed into a small women's suit, carrying a small bag, a black jacket, and a white shirt. However, compared to ordinary working women, the skirt was a bit long, and the girl's suits and skirts were almost at the knees. Her face did not look like a professional woman, and she still had the unique charm of a girl.
Under the short skirt, there are tender white legs wearing flesh-colored stockings and jade feet exposed outside high-heeled sandals, radiating light under the dim street lights.
"That's all right? I bought this dress when I went shopping on weekends, using the money I earned from working." Shiraishi Mai walked around Uesugi Soyuki, and the men could smell the fragrance coming from the girl.
"...Okay, let's go." Uesugi Soyuki calmed down his breathing calmly.
The two walked into the Sony **Z building together. The Sony building is usually crowded, and there is nothing strange about the director bringing a female employee into the company.
He led the girl to a corner on the first floor. The two of them walked into the elevator. After Uesugi Soyuki clicked the floor, he said slowly: "Shiraishi, have you been doing well over the years?"
"After going to Beijing, it's okay."
In other words, it’s not good before going to Beijing.
The elevator arrived soon, Uesugi Soyuki stopped talking and silently led the girl into his office.
From this point of view alone, he knew that he was very sorry to the girl. Even though he knew that she might encounter those things, he chose to study at Dongda University and study abroad.
However, if he does not go abroad and does not choose to go out to struggle, how can he gain enough influence, gain enough manpower and material resources to achieve his ideals?
So he could only choose to feel sorry for Mai Shiraishi first, and even returned to China urgently and provided help when she wanted to go to Beijing to study. This is compensation.
The office is quite luxurious. While not reducing normal office functions, it also adds some life functions. The long desk and the boss's chair behind the desk are facing the office door. Behind the boss's chair are several rows of large floor-to-ceiling cabinets, which store a large amount of documents. There is also a huge root-carved tea table on the right hand of the entrance. A few pieces of sand surround the tea table, giving people a sense of leisure. There is a window on the left. From here, you can overlook the beautiful night view of Tokyo, but it is now covered by thick curtains.
Uesugi Soyuki turned on the air conditioner and hung his suit jacket on the hanger. His shirt was already soaked in sweat. He was used to it and didn't care.
Take out the tea set and tea powder from the cabinet and pour the matcha powder into the tea bowl.
First add a small amount of matcha to the tea bowl, add a small amount of warm water, and then stir with the tea sip.
Warm the bowl, mix the paste, and order tea.
The room gradually became full of tea fragrance.
After making a cup of matcha, Uesugi Soyuki handed the tea bowl to the girl: "Let's have a cup of tea first!"
Chapter completed!
