Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 224 Genji Heavy Industries (Part 2)
Heron stood on the balcony and watched Lu Mingfei get into the taxi, then he slowly took out the phone in his pocket that had vibrated several times.
"Are you trying to kill me? When will it ever end? You know what I'm doing!" The first sentence was spoken in a bad mood. It seemed that the person opposite was either an enemy or a great grudge.
"I want to harass you because I know what you are doing!" There was a smirk on the other end of the phone. "How is the situation?"
"What else can I do? She won't doubt me if I take action." Heron boasted in his tone.
"Tsk tsk, you're showing off!"
"What the hell am I bragging about? To be honest, I never thought that one day my future would be to be a babysitter for little girls." Heron glanced at Eri who was still sleeping through the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed softly. She had to admit that when she took on this task, she was depressed, speechless and felt that life was hopeless.
If the boss's order was to kill Eri, she would have 10,000 ways to choose from, strangling, poisoning, shooting, strangling, drowning, falling, whatever. But the boss's order was to take care of Eri, which was difficult for her. As a top student who graduated from Tokyo University of Music and a very rare traditional Japanese ninja in modern times, Mai Sakutoku's room was almost a mess... Not to mention taking care of others, she had never taken care of her own mother.
"It's okay. People always have to learn to take the first step. Just think of this as your social practice!" The giggles of the potato chip girl on the other end of the phone were simply gloating. Jiude Mai is someone who can compete in a modeling competition by putting on a long skirt. It is really a waste of her talent to be a nanny.
"Compared to you and me, you are the one who needs more social practice, right? You, a homebody who has never been in love, but you fantasize all day long about a domineering CEO setting off nuclear bombs and fireworks for you to celebrate!"
Whenever Jiude Mai thinks of this title, she feels that the name Su Enxi is really suitable for her. Over the years, the surname Su has been used to death by various romance writers, but Su Enxi is good at the romance stories that are so mysterious that they are impossible to happen. It seems that sometimes names also have natural meanings. The name Su Enxi is very suitable for the heroine of romance. Unfortunately, as a home girl, love will not kick open Su Enxi's door, so she is still single.
"First of all, I didn't say I like the domineering president. Secondly, the domineering president is not as rich as me. Moreover, if a nuclear bomb is set off to celebrate your birthday, both of us will be doomed!" Su Enxi retorted loudly.
"You were the one who twisted your hips while talking about this scene and told me how romantic it was. I didn't believe that reading romance stories would make people stupid, but you have successfully proved it for me." Jude Mai leaned against the fence and yawned lazily. She hadn't had breakfast yet. She was still in Italy when she received the call yesterday. She booked a flight to Tokyo as soon as she hung up the phone and just got off the plane.
"Will you die if you don't laugh at me?" Su Enxi seemed angry.
"If you were smarter and less stupid, I wouldn't be able to attack you, right?" Jiude Mai said calmly, "I think you can be ranked among the dumbest people who have mastered natural selection throughout history."
The two of them are colleagues, Jiude Mai is in charge of external affairs, while Su Enxi is in charge of internal affairs. They are like a warrior who goes straight to the battlefield with a sword, and a quartermaster who is responsible for taking care of the military supplies and arsenal at home. If one side fails, the other side will not feel good either.
They have cooperated closely over the years and have never made any mistakes. The only problem is that when they have free time, they will make fun of and attack each other for no reason. It is hard to say that they are good friends or good girlfriends. It is better to say that they are a bit like the type of bickering lovers that many people like in romance stories.
"Okay, okay, I can't beat you!" Su Enxi was at a loss. When it came to venomous attacks, she had never been a match for Jiude Mai. It wasn't that she couldn't beat Jiude Mai, but that Jiude Mai had too few weaknesses. In comparison, Su Enxi was full of problems, and Jiude Mai could always find a way in.
"But I can make things difficult for you! I won't reimburse your plane ticket!" Su Enxi suddenly laughed. She was serious. She had jurisdiction over all the bank cards in Jude Mai's hand. This was to facilitate daily large-scale fund transfers. If she suspended Jude Mai's card, then Jude Mai might have to rummage through Japanese trash cans for food.
"Then just wait for the next time we meet and I will strip you naked and hang you on the Tokyo Tower. Maybe when you show your cupped waist to the world, some short-sighted man will say that what an interesting woman is who has taken a fancy to a little bitch like you." said Jude Mai.
"Hey! It's just a joke. Is there any need to be so cruel?" Su Enxi held the phone and tapped it twice, as if it was Jiude Mai herself.
"Whether I'm joking or not is up to you." Jiude Mai didn't give in, because she was really sleepy and tired at the moment. There were not many passengers on the plane last night, but they were all energetic guys who kept chattering all the way, making it impossible for her to sleep. "I don't have time to argue with you here. If you don't find something to fill your stomach, your next task will be to collect my body."
"Don't you plan to try the delicacies of your hometown when you return to Japan? Japanese breakfast should include miso rice balls, dried fish, etc." Su Enxi said.
"But don't I have someone to take care of now? I booked a room with a kitchen in this hotel, and I tried to make some fried eggs and milk sandwiches in the morning, just as a form of practice."
"I really can't imagine you standing in front of the stove..." Su Enxi imagined it for a moment. She always felt that the person standing next to the stove would be a heavily made-up catwalk model, not a housewife at all. "By the way, can you make fried eggs? Will you poison the head of the Uesugi family?"
"It's okay. I will make two portions of everything and eat it myself first. I will die first." Jude Mai said calmly, "And the boss also asked me to make food for the head of the Uesugi family. It's probably because he took into consideration that she has never eaten any Japanese civilian-class food. Ordinary food is also delicious for those who have never eaten it. I can still make some basic things, such as five-eye fried rice."
Jude Mai hung up the phone because her keen hearing had already detected the movement in the room. Eiry rolled out of the bed and fell to the floor, then woke up screaming in pain and looked for Lu Mingfei in a daze.
"Hello, I'm Lu from Nagato Housekeeping. I'll be taking care of your daily life temporarily on behalf of Lu Mingfei." Jude Mai walked into the room, bowed slightly with her signature professional smile, and waved the note left by Lu Mingfei in her hand.
A black Lexus sedan passed through the streets of Tokyo. After last night's heavy rain, the air in the city was refreshed, with a slight smell like seaweed. There was no water on the streets at all. This was due to the excellent drainage system in Tokyo.
The radio was on in the car, and with Lu Mingfei's Japanese listening ability, she could understand most of it. The news said that the warm and humid air currents from the Pacific Ocean were controlling the climate across Japan, and there would be continuous rainy days in the near future.
The Cassel team sat in the back seat of the luxury car. Chu Zihang and Caesar chose the window seats on both sides without any suspense, and Lu Mingfei sat between them.
With two big guys guarding her, no one else in Kassel College could enjoy such treatment, but Lu Mingfei did not feel honored. When she returned to the Peninsula Hotel, the two guys each occupied a corner of the sofa, with serious expressions on their faces as if their family had just called to say that the family had gone bankrupt. Even the plates on the table were divided into half each, and there was no intimacy like that of college roommates who said, "Grandson, let me have a taste of my food."
It seems that when she is not around, President Lionheart and the Student Council President don't have much to say. Only when Lu Mingfei is present can everyone have a harmonious discussion on a problem. This makes Lu Mingfei feel that as the head of this family of three, her two concubines are in a cold war , and she is caught in the middle.
Lu Mingfei's position is actually quite subtle. Personally, Chu Zihang is her boyfriend, so she should stand on his side. But publicly, she is a member of the student union, and Caesar is her boss. This makes her feel like she is in a difficult position if she favors anyone. If anything that happened during that time was secretly spread back to Kassel College, her beautiful impression of the school beauty would probably be torn into pieces.
The car stopped. Sakura Yabuki, who was wearing a black suit, opened the door and bowed deeply with her hands on her trouser line: "Welcome to our Japanese branch for a visit."
Her attitude was so humble, and she used the words "I've come" and Lu Mingfei felt that her status was instantly elevated to the level of a true dragon emperor. She subconsciously started to talk nonsense: "My dear minister, please stand up!"
As soon as she said this, she realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth, but Yabuki Sakura led the team up the stairs as if she didn't hear anything.
"I originally thought that there would be men in black lining up and bowing. Isn't this an essential scene in the underworld?" Caesar looked up at the black skyscraper in front of him.
Among the elegant gray buildings, such a building wrapped in iron-black glass curtain walls seems very abrupt, giving a feeling of a Japanese consortium. Caesar has seen it in Japanese dramas. Japanese national companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries all do this, creating a unique corporate atmosphere that is out of tune with the surroundings. Everyone entering and leaving the building can walk with their heads held high, proud to be an employee of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
However, this building is a little different. The people entering and leaving the building before were in a hurry, carrying simple briefcases. It was very quiet. All the exterior walls also adopted one-way perspective. You cannot see what is inside when standing outside. It looks more like a government office building.
"If you go to a restaurant or shrine, they still maintain the tradition of lining the streets to welcome you, but in Tokyo, they have to be low-key so as not to disturb the neighbors. Please forgive me, distinguished guest," said Sakura Yabuki.
"Is that an elevated highway?" Chu Zihang asked.
Standing here, you can see that a part in the middle of the high-rise of this building is completely hollowed out. Instead, there is an elevated highway tunnel that goes straight through the middle of the building like a black flying dragon. Tens of thousands of vehicles pass through the interior of the building every day, while other floors are completely unaffected. In this way, the building must meet perfect high standards in terms of sound insulation, design, and earthquake resistance, otherwise it will affect the quality of use for people inside.
"When the building was nearly completed, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided to build the elevated highway, which had to pass through here. But after negotiations, Conquest could not accept the offer from the main family, so they had to give up the plan to demolish the building and instead signed a 100-year lease to rent two floors of the building to build the elevated highway. The floors above are suspended and supported by load-bearing columns," said Sakura.
Even Caesar was somewhat moved. The Gattuso family was very powerful in Italy, and Frost had to be polite when meeting government officials. After all, everyone had their own interests, and politics and business were often one family. But in Tokyo, the government had the money to build an elevated highway, but could not afford to buy this building, which showed the astonishing land price of this building and the status of the Snake Eight in Japan .
"This building was completed at the end of 2004. It is the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries, Ltd. and also the academy's office center in Tokyo." Sakura led the trio into the open hall.
Employees holding folders come and go without making any heavy footsteps. The pretty lady at the front desk only serves to maintain the appearance. No one asks her anything because everyone knows where they should go. Every time the elevator bell rings, it means a new task is issued or assigned. It is not much different from the top business centers in Ginza, except that some of the people who come out unbutton their suits to ventilate when they reach the first floor, revealing the Yasha tattoo underneath. You wouldn't guess they are such people just by looking at their faces.
"The underworld has also become commercialized. It's completely different from what I imagined." Lu Mingfei said that her impression of the underworld is still at the level of Japanese dramas, where a group of idiots gather in the yard of the villa of the eldest brother. A large group of people kneel on the tatami around the fireplace, without even turning on the lights, and put a candlestick in the middle of the table. Everyone's face is written with the arrogant attitude of "whoever stands in my way will die" and respect for the eldest brother. The door of the room must be closed tightly and someone is guarding outside to prevent eavesdropping. It is dark inside like a snake's nest. If someone has smelly feet... the scene is simply too beautiful not to watch.
"The computer room of Genji Heavy Industries stores the information of the entire Japanese underworld. All underworld members are registered here. The family has thirteen departments with more than two thousand people working in shifts. For this reason, we have also formulated annual KPIs that are dispersed into quarterly settlements. Salaries are not fixed, but are paid according to the number of calls, completion of transactions, and daily work performance. We are not eligible for public welfare in Japanese society. The family has a foundation that uses its own funds to invest worldwide, and the dividends obtained provide medical and pension insurance for everyone." Yabuki Sakura said, "If a gang member unfortunately dies, the family will bear the tuition and living expenses of his children until they are eighteen years old."
