"Mr. Chris." The young man knocked on the door and entered the office with a stack of letters in his hand. He picked up the top one and showed it to Chris, "I found this in the mailbox. The recipient wrote you, but there is no Other content flags. I can't tell what to do with it, you see this..."

The secretary was standing by the desk, looking back at the young man.Chris was sitting at the other end of the desk, and a newspaper was spread out on the table, which caught Chris' eyes so tightly that he didn't give the young man a single glance.

The young man was a little puzzled by the secretary's stare: "Why... what's wrong?"

The secretary was silent for a while, then turned to look at Chris, and turned back when there was no response from the other party: "Today's "Daily News"... Have you read it?"

"No, I didn't read it. I bought it and put it on the table, but I haven't had time to read it yet..." The young man pointed out the door with the hand holding the envelope, and then turned back in doubt, "What happened?"

"Daily News" is an independent news media, and it can also be said to be the biggest opponent of the newspaper industry controlled by Selavi.Although young people will also buy and read them, they usually read them after the Selawi industry newspaper, which is also after the morning routine is done.

"Put the letter down." The secretary leaned against the table, took out the glasses cloth, took off the glasses and wiped them slowly, then put them back on. "Hurry up and read the second half of the second edition."

"Think of a suggestion about that report and come back." Chris ordered without looking up.

"Okay." Although the young man still had a puzzled look on his face, he put the sorted out letters in the to-do corner of the desk as he said, and the one that was specifically asked was placed on the top.

"Then I'll come back later."

The young man left the office and closed the door, returned to his seat and sat down, and then opened the second page of "Daily News".The secretary said it was the bottom half, and in fact, except for the top banner, almost the entire second page was saying the same thing.The report on the second edition is very eye-catching from the beginning of the title, which can be said to be a bit shocking.The young man raised his eyebrows and quickly read silently.

[The additional side mission of "Shocking Thief" is completed! 】

The young man's eyes lingering on the newspaper stopped.

[Sub-line content reminder: Send a notice letter to ensure that it will be delivered to the owner of the Serrawi Theater without any mistakes. The other party should fully understand the host's mission time and goals. (Time limit: before the auction day at the Serrawi Theater) - DONE! 】

The young man's movements remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth gradually curled up, turning into an obviously joyful and meaningful smile.

"'Serrawi Auction Day Surprised The Stealing Notice, "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" may be stolen on the spot!" He murmured the headline on the report, slowly raised his hands holding the newspaper, the paper covered the , the smile was masked under the second page of the Daily News.

[Confirmation of corresponding rewards: 1. Obtain the right to roll back the time axis at a specified time point once (effective when the time axis rolls back); 2. The system score has been included in the point system (you can query it after completing the main story)]

The young David took down the newspaper abruptly and stood up suddenly, the expression on his face had become nervous and excited.Holding the newspaper in his hand, he walked quickly to Chris's office door and knocked, and rushed in before waiting for a reply from inside.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any suggestions for the time being, and I'm so rash..." He said apologetic words while walking quickly to the desk, and pointed to Chris somewhere on the second page, "But the newspaper printed This notice letter, the logo and the wax seal on the letter just now—”

The young man turned his head to look at the corner of the table where the letter had just been placed, as if he wanted to find the letter, but the letter was gone.He turned his gaze back to Chris, but Chris was only holding a folded card that had just been opened.

"Are you looking for this?" The secretary shook the thing in his hand, it was the letter—or envelope—that the young man was looking for.

The envelope has been torn, but the shape of the wax remains.The young man lifted the newspaper and placed it next to the envelope, pointed to the seal on the newspaper and said, "Look, it really is this!"

He paused, looked at Chris as if realizing something—to be precise, at the card in his hand—hesitatingly said: "Could it be..."

Chris threw the card in his hand to the other side of the table: "It's the same as the one in the newspaper."

The young man looked at his face, then reached out to pick up the card, opened it, and read it softly.

"'Dear Mr. Chris: I will come to pick up your beloved trade item "The Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" on the auction day of the Serawi Theater. I hope you have a pleasant day!'"

"'...a customer who couldn't pay the price.'"

Rachel happily finished reading the content of the "Theft Notice Letter" published in the newspaper. She has read the content of the second edition several times today, but this does not affect her as a topic of conversation for dinner.Predictably, this will be a topic of conversation for many at dinner tonight.

"Rachel, don't hold the magazine while eating." The old housekeeper Brian sat next to her, tapping the back of the newspaper with his fingers.

"Sorry, I'm just a little excited." Rachel smiled, put away the newspaper, turned around and cut a piece of chicken for herself, "It's a pity that the young master didn't see the moment when Chris saw the notice letter, it must be very exciting .”

The four of them sat around the dining table and enjoyed the dinner prepared by Fela.In this country where food is generally criticized as unpalatable, Feila's craftsmanship is not satisfactory.

"It's really a pity. When I went in for the first time, although he was expressionless, he was not much different from usual except that he felt a little dignified." The young man put down the knife and fork, and took a sip of red wine leisurely. "It's even more impossible to panic."

The butler said: "I'm more surprised that the VIP area is still displayed normally?"

"Yes." The young man replied, "Chris thinks this is free publicity for the auction day of the theater. Not only will the theater be full on the day of the auction, but the VIP tickets for these few days will also be very popular. Obviously, Mr. Secretary and I They all agreed, so at present, it is only a temporary increase in security measures.”

"Adding more people at a time like this will lead to more and more people." The butler Youyou commented, "The fewer people can touch the paintings, the better, but the number of customers in the VIP area is bound to increase."

"Very correct." The young man shook his wine glass slowly, "The security force of the entire VIP area needs to be strengthened, but no matter how the manpower is adjusted, there is always an upper limit for trusted veteran employees. Their workload will inevitably increase sharply. Correspondingly, there will be less defense against 'groups of people who are also trusted."

Fira let out a long sigh of relief: "It's my turn to clean the VIP area the day after tomorrow."

Rachel grabbed her hand: "Good luck to you!"

"The "Daily Weekly" used such a large page to report on this matter..." the housekeeper sighed, "wouldn't they guess that this is Chris's own propaganda method?"

Hype... The young man smiled: "In fact, I only put a silver coin in the envelope, which is enough to put a 'notice board', huh? Or they can just give the silver coin to the pit. However, the result Much better than we expected.”

"Maybe "Daily Weekly" is trying to use this to hit Serawi?" The girl tilted her head and said, "After all, if this is true and successful--Serrawi's step into the cultural industry will be greatly affected. Great impact."

"Smart girl." The young man didn't comment on whether Rachel's words were right or not, but just praised with a smile, then looked at the housekeeper calmly, and each drank the table wine.

[Mission reminder: There are still 6 days before the mission time. 】

"cage?"

Chris's eyes moved away from the document he was reviewing, and stayed on the young man on the other side of the desk, as if he couldn't grasp the point of his unbelievable suggestion.

"Yes, the cage." There was a certain excitement in the young man's eyes, and he leaned forward slightly, pointing to the hand-painted schematic diagram and said, "Put "Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" behind the stage from the very beginning. , covered it with a pure white cloth, and then covered it with a huge cage—of course, the kind that children can hardly get in. A beam of light was shot down to cover it, just like the whole auction. Sitting there is a mysterious and beautiful girl!"

Because of the "Mainichi Shimbun"'s report on the "stealing notice", "The Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" has been placed at the finale of the event for auction.Rather than needing a special person to keep an eye on it when preparing backstage, having this "girl" appear in the audience's field of vision from the very beginning, with hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at her, really saves a lot of worry.

And according to this process, the appearance of "The Girl Drinking Afternoon Tea" can be regarded as an echo from beginning to end.Even if there are no thieves in the end, the huge cage earns some stunts.

While talking about his suggestion in detail, the young man turned over another page of diagrams to show to Chris: "Look, there is a small platform between the second and third acts of the stage, where the paintings and The cages are set up here..."

Chris stared at the schematic diagram intently, as if he was paying attention, but he didn't seem to be listening carefully to anything.

The young man finished explaining his idea one by one. Chris didn't give any feedback, but just reached out to him.

The youth knowingly handed over his proposal to him.

"How long does it take to build a cage that can easily fit an adult?" Chris asked as he flipped through the pages.

"Adult?" the young man asked suspiciously, "No, Mr. Chris, we don't need such a big cage. I mean, it's fine if it's half the height of a person, it's more than enough to hold a picture, and it's not easy to transport away..."

"answer me."

The young man faltered: "No... I don't know."

"Inform the person in charge of the Selawi Theater, find the person in charge of the stage decoration project, and meet at the theater at two o'clock in the afternoon." Chris put the proposal back on the table, "You go and notify the person in charge of the engineering procurement department, and I will meet you in the afternoon Go to Sarawi, and you and the secretary will go too."

"Ok."
