A low pressure enveloped the entire Tokyo, and the sky was gray.

Perhaps it was because of the approaching menstrual period, Tadano had just walked to the elevator on the third floor when he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his temple.

She took a deep breath and found a sofa to sit down.

Symptoms of menstruation vary from person to person, and Tadano occasionally suffers from headache attacks.It's just that affected by the weather and work pressure, this symptom lasts for a long time, sometimes light and sometimes severe.

"Deng-deng--" the sound of high heels came from far to near.

A shadow was cast on his body, Tadano rubbed his temples, looked up, and it turned out that it was the young lady at the reception.

"Hana-chan, you are on duty today during lunch break..." Tadano pulled out an ugly smile.

Hana handed her a cup of hot water and asked, "Manager Tadano, are you okay, is it a headache?"

"Well, it's probably due to the low air pressure. I feel particularly uncomfortable today." Tadano rummaged through his bag, but couldn't find what he wanted, and turned to look at him, "Excuse me, do you have ibuprofen? .”

"Oh, yes there is." Hana nodded like a pounding garlic, "I always carry it with me, I'll bring it to you right away!" After speaking, she took a box of EVE over in small steps.

Take a sip of hot water and swallow the tablet.

After a while, Tatiano breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Thank you, it's a good thing you have the medicine with you, otherwise you'll have a headache and you won't be able to work in the afternoon."

Hana cast a sympathetic look at her: "Manager Tadano, if you are really uncomfortable, why don't you ask for leave and go home, don't the female employees in our company have one day of menstrual leave every month?"

"It's okay, I've taken all the medicine, let's work hard." Tadano shook his head, and was about to stand up when he suddenly thought of something.

She asked: "Hey, speaking of which, did the boss come to the company today?"

"Ah, you mean Mr. Atobe, it's coming, it's just..."

Hana leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mister seems to be in a bad mood for the past few days. If my sister goes looking for him, she must be careful!"

bad mood.

Is the old man in a better mood?

After silently slandering this sentence, Tatiano said warmly: "Thank you, I will be careful. But I have business with him, no matter how bad the boss is, he won't do anything to me, go get busy~"

"Okay, sister, work hard, and contact me anytime if you feel uncomfortable!"

"Okay, you can do it too~"

The business Tadano mentioned was to talk to Atobe about the transfer.

The last time this topic was brought up was the high-level dinner at the beginning of the year.Now, after counting, it has been more than half a year since she returned to Japan.

During this period, she experienced a lot and thought about it carefully, not only including her relationship with Heowei, but also her family and herself.

The conversation with Atobe had nothing to do with him being in a bad mood, and it went smoothly.

On the surface, the other party did not make a clear promise, but for Atobe, the business of the overseas branch was on the right track, and he happened to be short of people around him, so he had long thought of transferring Tadano back.

In the partner's office, the smell of roses was so strong that Tian Ye felt a little headache. When he returned to his work station, his temples were still throbbing.

The work in the afternoon is not very busy.

Before leaving get off work, Tadano went through the rejection opinions of the agricultural base project from beginning to end. When he saw the column of the credit report, he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

Pills scattered on the ground, a middle-aged man faltering.

In addition to pity for the project itself, perhaps, she also has a little intolerance for Takeshita.

It was six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was still light.It is rare for Tadano to leave work on a regular basis.

Arriving at the agreed underground parking lot, Heiwei said that he was stuck on the road and might be a few minutes late.

Tadano replied ok, and was about to ask him if he would meet in the store, before he pressed the send button with his finger.

At this time, someone not far away called her name.

"Miss Tadano, may I bother you for a moment?" There was a slightly vicissitudes of voice.

She turned her head to look, and was almost taken aback by Takeshita who was drenched all over her body: "Mr. Takeshita...how are you!?"

"Oh, it's okay, I didn't bring an umbrella today, on the way here just now... Cough, it rained a little."

When we met at the hospital in the morning, Takeshita's mental state was not very good, and he looked even more embarrassed when it rained.

Tadano took out a handkerchief from his bag and motioned for the other person to wipe his face: "Are you looking for me urgently? Why don't you wait in the lobby?"

Takeshita didn't answer her, but pushed back the handkerchief, and smiled awkwardly: "Miss Tadano, I'm here today to ask about investment projects... Uh, just... can you give me another time?" What about the chance?"

As if realizing that his request was inappropriate, Takeshita was obviously a little embarrassed when he spoke.

Tadano was stunned, and the guilt in his heart came up again.

After a while, she took a step back and bowed solemnly to the other party: "Sorry, Mr. Takeshita, the project failed the risk control review. Let's do it again..."

She gritted her teeth: "It's the same result..."

"It didn't pass the review, is it... Is the price we proposed too high?" Takeshita took a step closer and tentatively said, "If so, we can talk again..."

Tadano straightened up and shook his head helplessly: "This is an internal company secret, sorry, I can't tell you, but if you have other needs, I think I can help you personally."

"Ah..." Skipping the second half of the other party's sentence, Takeshita paused, his eyes darkened instantly, and he murmured to himself, "Why can't you tell me... give me another chance... Can't you..."

The more he spoke, the quieter he was. He was obviously a middle-aged man over half a century old, but he looked at himself beggingly like a child who made a mistake.

Seeing this, Tadano bit his lower lip and almost blurted out the financial statement.

She took a deep breath, quickly said "Don't do this, you can't do this" silently, and then pinched her palms: "I'm sorry, this is a matter of principle..."

"Matter of principle"

There was a "click", like the last ray of hope, which was suddenly cut off.

I remembered that today I braved the heavy rain and ran all over the major investment companies and banks, but no matter which one, the answer to him was rejection.

The light in Takeshita's eyes, like a candle, disappeared bit by bit...

Tadano couldn't bear to look any further, and bowed to the other party again.

She closed her eyes and was about to turn around to leave, but at this moment, there was a "plop" in her ear.

In the cold underground garage, she raised her eyelashes, and saw Takeshita kneeling down slowly in front of her.

Takeshita put his knees on the ground, choked with sobs and said, "But...but I really can't do anything...you...can't think of a way anymore!"

"The torrential rain last month...the base was completely destroyed...I went to the insurance company...but the compensation was far from enough..."

"There are so many people under me who have to support their families! I... and my daughter's medical bills to pay! Please, can you help me! Just this one time! Please!"

Messy hair stuck to the face, raindrops and tears flowed down together.But Takeshita had no time to take care of all this, let alone listen to any suggestions from Tadano.

"Please, help me"

Memories hit like a flood, the old days overlapped with the reality, and the scene was exactly the same back then.

She looked at the man's demeanor and decency shattered to the ground, and roared and cried on the ground, begging her to help herself, regardless of dignity.

But she was helpless and powerless.

"Mr. Takeshita... Calm down... There must be... There must be another way... There must be..." Tadano moved his lips mechanically, and every time he said a word, the strength in his body increased. One point was taken away.

What else can I do.File for bankruptcy, let Takeshita surrender himself?

The heart is falling little by little.

She was standing on the edge of the cliff, watching all these woes, those despairs that were driven to the end, but she couldn't reach out to help.

"Why is this happening! Didn't you say you would help me!"

Takeshita was still kneeling on the ground, crying and saying, "The first time you and I talked about cooperation, didn't you say that helping customers realize their dreams is also your dream!"

"You can't! Can't you help me think of a way! Are you lying to me!!"

"boom--"

In the middle of speaking, Takeshita suddenly rushed over excitedly, and at some point, his eyes were filled with scarlet.

Tadano took a step back reflexively, but her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell hard on the ground. There was a sharp pain behind her, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Takeshita, calm down!!"

However, Takeshita had already contorted his expression, as if he had lost his mind, he rushed up and grabbed his neck.

"Why! Why can't you help me! Why won't you help me!!"

The hands on the neck tightened more and more, the intracranial pressure was forced to gradually increase, and physiological tears leaked from the corners of the eyes.

why.

Tadano's eyes were bloodshot, and she also wanted to ask why.

Why did you take the risk, why didn't you discover the anomaly earlier, why...

Like five years ago, she felt powerless again.

"Bang—" There was another muffled sound.

The hand on the neck was suddenly released, and Tadano turned over in pain, and then began to gasp for breath.

She looked up, and one step away, Heiwei threw Takeshita out like a sack.

"Are you okay!" Heiwei ran to him in a panic.

The brain fell into a brief shock, Tadano shook his head, and quickly replied: "I...ha...I'm fine...you..."

Before the words fell, something dazzled.

"Oops!" Tadano paused, "Heiwei, be careful! He...he has a knife!!"

Everything that followed seemed to happen within a second.

Not far away, Takeshita got up from the ground, pulled out a knife from his pocket, and rushed over like crazy.

Heiwei reacted quickly, Dang even dodged sideways, then twisted his wrist, and the other hand pinched the back of his neck from behind.

With the tip of the knife pointing down, it landed with a "bang".

Tadano didn't care about the scratches on his back, and hurried forward, kicking the knife far away.

After hearing the sound, the security guards rushed over to help hold Takeshita down, but the latter still yelled at her, "You liar! You are all liars! Why did you lie to me and say yes!"

Takeshita struggled so hard that even the three tall men struggled.

The security guard couldn't help spat, and said, "This man looks skinny, how can he be so strong!"

"Damn, it's not like taking | drugs!" another security guard said.

Suddenly, the air was quiet for half a second.

Kurobi was the first to come back to his senses. He grabbed Takeshita with one hand and shouted to Tadano: "Shiori, call the police! This person definitely has mental problems!"

"Oh...Okay...Okay! Wait a minute, I'll call the police right away!" Tadano tremblingly took out the phone from his pocket, swiped his finger several times, unlocked it, and clicked on the dial page.

My heart was beating too hard, and my breathing was already out of control.

At this time, someone's photo slowly drifted down to her side with the wind.

The photo came into view, it was a family portrait of a family of three.The girl was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the camera with a smile, while behind her stood a man and a woman.

The woman is gentle and virtuous with her hair tied, while the man is——

Tadano raised his head stiffly, and looked across at the middle-aged man who had already lost his dignity.

In an instant, everything around my ears seemed to be silent.

Ah, she is the executioner who is pushed away, the knife that kills people indirectly.

"Sorry...really...sorry..." Tadano blushed.

After a long time, I closed my eyes and pressed the dial key.
