7 seconds behind the neck

one third.

"Mr. Hayakawa, can't we just remove all the dominoes?"

Hearing Iori's proposal, Hayakawa's expression became serious.

"According to the original design, the final mechanism must coincide with the situation where the dominoes fell to have the effect. If there is no domino effect, the gorgeousness will be greatly reduced."

It means that you can only admit it.Iori made a decision.

"...Then, we can only arrange again."

After discussing with the department store, they immediately kept the lighting and air conditioning in this area until all repairs were completed.

In short, we can only use crowd tactics now.

After handing over the work of the restoration agency to the people of the Hayakawa Exhibition Company, all the team members under Iori who had no contact with this project were called to the chopsticks.

It stands to reason that the anti-fall device should be erected first, and completed block by block.But laymen can't line up in a straight line no matter what, and are constantly rejected by Hayakawa.

"This row is crooked near the Christmas tree. Please try to line it up as straight as possible."

"Ugh, my back hurts..."

While wailing, Shimizu took off his high heels, put on pantyhose and started working.

"what!"

"Okada!"

The blow of kicking the dominoes seems to be all expressed on the fingers.Okada failed again and again, and each failure was accompanied by the collapse of the dominoes.

Shimizu, who was forced to start over several times, finally got angry.

"Really! You should pay more attention!"

Usually it is always very mild water, and the tone is quite rude.

"……sorry."

"Okay, let's do it quickly."

"..."

Okada kept looking at the dominoes silently, then turned around suddenly, ran to the door of the lounge with a notice board for employees, and rushed in directly.

"Okada?"

Iori followed behind him.

This lounge, which allows staff to relieve their addiction to smoking, is equipped with sofas, thermoses and coffee machines.

"Okada."

"Enough is enough, I'm resigning."

"what?"

"I've always felt that way, I'm really not suitable for this job at all."

Work is bound to be accompanied by surprises.No matter how careful, how careful, something always happens in the end.

Iori kept staring at him.Okada sat on the sofa, his whole back bent down.Originally taller than himself, he looked unusually thin.

Iori was transferred from the business department to the marketing planning department.

Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, in short, it is business work that requires frequent appearances in various places, and I actually don't hate it.Only gradually, Iori's hope is no longer just to sell the product, but to find out what he thinks is good, even if it is not eye-catching, it is still a great product, formulate a strategy, and then let buyers know its goodness.The situation of Takimoto's marketing and planning department is that once it becomes the director, it will receive a considerable degree of attention and can be responsible for a large number of decision-making decisions.For Iori, it can be said to be a coveted personnel change.

Okada graduated from a better university than Iori, and was assigned to the marketing planning department from the very beginning.He must not have realized how lucky it was to appear in this position earlier than himself, and he didn't understand the significance of it.

"And I... I really don't like being a cog in the company..."

"……yes."

I heard that Okada's hometown is a medium-sized company.Once he enters his own company, he will be the second generation president in the future.The thought of being able to go back at any time, combined with the coquettish mentality in his heart, made him always feel that staying at Takimoto Bussan was "forced to work".

"Okada, try to take a deep breath first."

Hearing Iori's words, Okada asked suspiciously, "Take a deep breath?"

"Ah. Anyway, stand up and take a few deep breaths."

He stood up according to the words, took a deep breath, then exhaled, inhaled, and exhaled again.

"Then hold your head up."

"Is that so?"

Being obedient and obedient is Okada's greatest strength.

"how do you feel?"

"Ah, I always feel that the rapid heartbeat just now seems to have disappeared."

"Okada. The human heart is actually surprisingly simple. It is closely connected with the body. Once you bend over, you can't think about cheerful things. Similarly, if you just hold your head up, you can't say negative things. .So what you have to do now is to hold your head up as much as possible. And it was because of you just now that all the mechanisms would not be wasted. If even the last mechanism starts to work, we will start from scratch now. There is no chance. Anyway, it is already late to catch the last train, and there is still plenty of time, so just take your time. Then be more cautious.”

"……OK."

Okada turned around slightly, and walked out of the lounge.

Iori looked at the clock.Now I really want everyone to have a meal, but there should be no convenience stores around here.

After thinking for a while, Iori took out his mobile phone again and made a call.

"Sorry, I might have to stay here today due to a temporary emergency. Then, this is really troublesome for you, but I want you to bring some things over—"

There are only shops or office buildings on the ground in this area, and there are almost no people in it late at night.

Iori pulled up her coat and stood waiting at the back door of the department store. A taxi appeared shortly after, and Kifune walked out of it.

Although the hair was a bit disheveled, Kifune, who was wearing a blue-purple coat, just stood there like a painting.

"Here, here you are."

To let such a person bring this kind of thing over.

"Thank you."

It was an electric pot with rice and water in it.

Iori took over the heavy thing.

"And then there's this, which contains what you want."

He took out several huge paper bags.

"I'm sorry, it's rare that you are on vacation today."

"No, I want to see your face anyway."

"Me too."

"What did you say?"

He should have heard it clearly, but Guichuan still asked with a smile on his face.

"I want to see your face too."

Hearing that, your ship seems quite satisfied.

"How is it? I'm here anyway, do you need my help?"

"No need. If you come, you will be misunderstood that something serious happened."

"Kidding."

"Besides, I probably thought of a solution."

Kifune reached out and touched Iori's face.

"Your ship?"

"Sometimes I really envy the people in your company who can always be with you."

Iori laughed.

"If you are in the same company as me, then I will be very troubled. Because as long as I am with you, I will not be able to calm down. Meeting on weekends is a very ideal frequency, and I have been looking forward to it."

Guichuan sighed.

"That's true. Then, I'll go back and wait obediently."

He said as he waved away.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that the dominoes were roughly arranged.Several employees of Hayakawa Display Company are in the process of final confirmation.Among them, Miura, who accidentally dropped the glass bead, was the main cause of the accident, so careful that Okada couldn't help frowning, either lying on the ground, or looking down from above, carefully adjusting domino.

The rice should be almost done.

Iori washed her hands in the lounge.Take out half of the freshly cooked rice, sprinkle perilla powder on top, and add salmon floss to the electric pot.Tear the plastic wrap into pieces and lay them out, then put the rice on top and shape it.It's a joy to watch these uniformly shaped rice balls being completed one after another.

"It smells like rice..."

Shimizu walked into the room while wriggling his nose.The smell is really good.

"Is it a rice ball?"

She didn't put the shoes back on, and just stepped on the floor with her pantyhose.

"I was still hesitating whether I should ask someone to buy bentos for me..."

"Do you need help?"

"Well, it would be great if you could help take out the finished product. Please remember to ask the people from Hayakawa to eat together."

"I see."

"Ah, that's right. Would you like to try one?"

"Then give me the salmon."

"Remember to wash your hands first."

She picked up a rice ball, peeled off the plastic wrap and took a bite.Then he shouted "What is this...!" in amazement.

"It's really delicious!"

"That's great. That's the only thing I have confidence in."

"What's the difference? Is it the strength of kneading? Is it the seasoning? And the shape is also very beautiful. Director Sasaki's hands are there for kneading rice balls!"

After she finished eating, she went outside with a plate piled with rice balls.

Then yelled at everyone outside.

"Everyone is hungry. Do you want rice balls? These are the rice balls made by Director Sasaki—! Delicious, delicious rice balls—! Go wash your hands, and then come over and eat!"

Looking out from the waiting room, the members were noisily gathered and began to eat rice balls placed on the work table.

Seeing that the work was about to be completed, the surrounding atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

"The general inspection is over."

Hayakawa reports to Iori.

"There will be no problem with Vic's demonstration, and tomorrow's on-site demonstration."

Iori breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, let's break up here today. It's really hard for everyone to be busy at this time. Tomorrow will start early, so please take a taxi home and rest for a while. Just in case, I will be here tonight. standby."

Everyone began to file towards the back door.Hayakawa also told himself that he lived in a nearby hotel and that he could find him if there was anything to do, and then he left.

Iori is at the corner of the floor
