[Black Basket] Love Sound

Working overtime on weekends is one of the common things in AKSI trading.Whether it is a veteran employee who has worked for many years or a rookie who has just joined the company, they cannot escape the test of working overtime on weekends.

Perhaps outsiders will think that such a high-intensity workload is difficult to keep up with the salary earned.Especially in the recent economic downturn, major trading companies have used a large number of dispatched employees to reduce expenditures. If regular employees want to increase their income, they can only find ways to earn more overtime pay and bonuses from overtime work.

However, the compensation system of AKSI Trading is different from other trading companies.

It is also overtime, but it takes the form of more pay for more work. As long as the business volume of employees can exceed the business limit issued by the company before the end of the month, the department they belong to can enjoy double bonus treatment.

Of course, this is a tempting bait, but there are very few people who can actually do it, and even if there are, it is an extremely special case.

However, under a big reward, there must be a brave man. The two major departments of the International Department and the Sales Department formed a bridge for this bonus. There have been many disputes and frictions in business, and both sides want to squeeze each other out and become the big winner.In this way, the days of overtime work have become a battlefield, and even the interns who only do chores have to participate in it and work hard for the bonus.

Hongcun carried the briefcase, yawned and got off the bus.

He looked at his watch, the time was 8:45, 15 minutes before the International Department officially started work.

Today he is busy with a foreign contract. If he still wants to prepare the documents before the minister goes to work, he has to rush back to the company like a [-]-meter sprint.It's a pity that the location of the station is still some distance away from the company. If we want to save more time, we can only take a shortcut.

It was a road that he and his colleagues usually took. Through an underground parking lot, they could directly reach the headquarters of the trading company.Every day after a company party, he would meet many company colleagues on that shortcut. It is conceivable that everyone likes to use this path to avoid being late and taking a pay cut.

However, there were relatively few people coming to the parking lot today. Except for the cars of the cleaning company, Hongcun only saw a few people from the sales department hurrying past.So, in order not to waste time, he also quickened his pace and walked towards Exit A where the company is located, but at this moment, a familiar figure not far away made him stop suddenly.

Is it Hashimoto?

Seeing Saya appearing in the parking lot, Hongcun was a little surprised. He looked at her location again and found that she would appear here today, and someone drove her here.That's her family?Or a friend?or...

When he thought of another possibility, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.

That scene seemed familiar. I had encountered similar things a long time ago.Unexpectedly, after several years passed, the possibility that he ignored had become a reality, and at the same time, it also turned into nothing the only hope in his heart.

Saya took the initiative to kiss the man who drove her to work, and that man was his middle school junior—Seijuro Akashi.

Sure enough, there are some things that cannot be changed by time. As time goes by, some things will only get better and better, and there will be no other turning point. What the hell is he, a fool, expecting!

An inexplicable pain quickly spread in my heart, and then disappeared without a trace. Hongcun quickly recovered from the disappointment and let herself return to real life.However, an embarrassing situation also followed. He was standing very close to those two people, so close that Akashi and Saya felt his presence. What should we do?Pretend to pass by, or turn around and walk away?

It turns out that neither option perfectly solves the problem.

As the awkward atmosphere spread, Hongcun was still tormented by the feeling of being at a loss. He wanted to take a step forward, but his legs were as heavy as lead, unable to move.Later, a person appeared in time to help resolve his embarrassment.

"Morning, Hongcun, today you...uh..."

The head of the mountain who had just parked the car walked to Hongcun with a smile, and was about to say hello to his subordinates, but was suddenly taken aback by the figure he saw in front of him.In less than five seconds, he immediately suppressed the smile on his lips, quickly helped himself and Hongcun to tidy up their appearance, and even changed the lines of his speech quickly, and said to Hongcun in a tone ten times more serious than usual——

"Hurry up and say hello to me, don't ask unnecessary questions."

Seeing a 360-degree change in the boss's attitude, Hongcun couldn't care less about the embarrassment, so he could only bite the bullet and follow behind.At this time, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of words to respond.But with Minister Yamauchi walking ahead, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and face what was about to happen next.

"Good morning, Master Zheng, I didn't disturb your date."

You've already become a light bulb, Minister, aren't you unhappy seeing Akashi's eyes?Even he was stared at!

Hongcun didn't open his mouth, but silently complained about his boss in his heart.

"Good morning, Mr. Yamauchi, what happened just now really made you laugh."

Akashi first glanced at Hongcun in the back, and then chatted with Minister Yamauchi with a smile on his face.

"You two are lovers. It's normal for you to be gluey. But Master Zheng, don't forget that Ms. Sha Ye is an intern of our company. It's dangerous to date her here. Please think about her situation."

Hey, Minister, let's not talk about the depth of your relationship with Akashi, is it really okay to lecture like this?Meddling in someone else's relationship is much more dangerous than the parking lot date you said!

Hongcun couldn't stop complaining, he looked at Saya, and found that the anxious look on her face was more severe than his.Wait, what's going on here?What is the relationship between Akashi and Minister Yamauchi, and why are they so familiar?And why did Saya become nervous when seeing Akashi chatting with Minister Yamauchi?This series of questions really puzzled him, a bystander.

"As you said, I didn't think carefully, and there are people coming and going here, and it's not a good place to chat. I will pay attention next time."

It was completely beyond Akashi's expectation to meet an old friend in the parking lot.He originally thought that the possibility of meeting Hongcun was extremely low, but who knows that people are not as good as heaven, the two will meet in the underground parking lot, and also meet his father's old subordinates, it seems that Saya's identity cannot be concealed up.

"Master Zheng, it's rare that everyone is here, why don't we sit in the coffee shop opposite the company for a while, there are some things I just want to explain to you." Minister Yamauchi proposed an invitation to Akashi, and then turned to his subordinates and said: " Hongcun, you come here too."

Hearing what Minister Shan Nei said, Hongcun was already confused by the relationship between those three people. He was at most a bystander, why did the minister ask him to get involved when he was chatting with others?Besides, the things they were talking about seemed to be very important. Is it really okay to ask him, an outsider, to participate in it?His boss must not be foolish at this time.

"Yes, Minister."

As a subordinate, Hongcun could not disobey the orders of his superiors.Even though he doesn't want to be a light bulb in his heart, under the orders of his boss, the super light bulb, he can only follow obediently without any complaints.As for some things mentioned by his boss, he didn't know anything, but he had a hunch that it would be related to Saya.

"Miss Shaye, go back to the company first and help me prepare the contract that I will use in the afternoon. You must finish it before the people from the sales department come over. Please."

Minister Yamauchi also saw Saya's uneasiness, and thoughtfully found a reasonable excuse for her to leave this place temporarily, so as to avoid the embarrassing atmosphere from spreading again.

"I understand, Minister Yamauchi, I will definitely finish it within a certain time, please rest assured."

Taking out her purse and bento from the sports car, Shaye said goodbye to the three of them and then quickly left the parking lot and walked towards the company's gate.

Watching the back of the beautiful woman going away, the huge underground parking lot seemed to be shrouded in cold air again, and suddenly became quiet and deserted.Akashi and Hongcun glared at each other without saying a word, but then Chief Yamauchi felt that the atmosphere was not right and broke the silence.

"You two young people, the heroine has already left, so don't play charades in front of your elders. Just staring at each other won't solve the problem. Let's talk in another place."

*****

The place that Minister Yamauchi mentioned was not a crowded dating place for couples in a business district, nor an old-fashioned coffee shop with a strong retro atmosphere, but a small European-style restaurant full of Mediterranean style.

With doubts, Akashi and Nijimura walked into the store curiously. At this time, the blue and white main tone that caught their eyes did not remind them of the strong Greek style, but the color of the Teiko school uniform.Obviously the past in middle school has become the past, but now, because of this chance encounter, the memory that was about to be forgotten has reappeared again.

"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing this morning that it brought Mr. Yamauchi to my small shop?"

Not long after the three of them entered the store, a middle-aged beautiful woman warmly greeted the customers and took them to a seat by the window.

"Yuriko, don't you even feel the north wind blowing behind me? I'm really afraid that the wind will blow your shop away." Facing the ridicule of the proprietress, Minister Yamauchi also replied with a smile.

"Come on, it's not my shop's turn to blow you away, old man, tell me, is it just to give me business by bringing two handsome guys here today, or is there another purpose?"

Yuriko no longer turned the corner, and directly asked Dao Ming, the head of the mountain, to clarify her intentions.

"I have both, I'm going to trouble you."

Regarding the answer from Minister Yamauchi, Yuriko just sighed and shook her head, then turned around and walked to the counter, took out a small wooden sign with "Closed Business" engraved on it, and hung it on the handle outside the door.After 5 minutes, after she was sure that no other customers would enter the store, she took a small notebook specially written for the menu and came to the table where the head of the mountain was sitting, ready to help the guests order.

"Okay, I've cleared the store for you guys, what do you want to order?"

As the proprietress, Lily is in a good mood to have a handsome guy patronize the small shop, and she can't help but look at the handsome guy more.

"Lily, please serve a cup of Greek coffee to these two young people first, then add a plate of desserts and a large jar of sugar. The topic we are talking about today lacks sugar, and it is just to make up for it."

Before Akashi and Hongcun could look at the menu, Minister Yamauchi had already spoken to help them make a decision.

"No problem, the coffee will be delivered when it's ready, let's talk slowly."

After recording the meals required by the guests, Yuriko went back to the counter to get busy, leaving a quiet space for the three men present.

"It's rare that Ms. Saya is not present, so I'll just make it clear. Hongcun, let me introduce you first. This is the only son of the president of the AKSI trading company, Akashi Seijuro, and he is also the heir to the next president of the chamber of commerce. In the future, you If you work in the head office, remember to say hello to him."

"I see, Minister."

The only son of the president of the AKSI trading company?

The words of the head of the mountain were like a bucket of ice water, pouring Hongcun down on the spot.

Well, he has to admit that he has no taste for gossip.

As early as middle school, he had heard the female managers of the basketball club discuss Akashi's family background in private.At that time, he only knew that the talented junior was the son of a rich family, and he didn't know anything else.Now, if Minister Yamauchi hadn't told him the truth, he might lose his job one day.

"Mr. Yamauchi, senior Hongcun and I are both students of Teiko Middle School, and we are on the same basketball team. We are already familiar with each other. You don't need to emphasize my identity to him, it doesn't make any sense."

Akashi didn't want this chance meeting to turn into some other form of meeting. Doing so would only make both parties uncomfortable and unable to speak freely.

"Master Zheng, some things can be omitted, but Ms. Saya's identity must be clearly stated." Minister Shanuchi continued: "Hongcun is an outstanding talent in my department. Regarding the matters that your father confessed, I think he is the most important person. Good candidate."

The best candidate?

Hearing Minister Yamauchi's praise, Akashi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Before the internship, his father had promised him that he would send the most trusted person in the branch to protect Saya's safety.Today, he already knows that Mr. Yamauchi is one of them, so the other one is Hongcun?

Thinking of this, his heart began to ache.An indescribable sourness was slowly eroding his sanity, as if telling him with facts that even if he was the only son of the Akashi family, there were things he could do nothing about.During this month, the person who acted as the flower protector was no longer him, but his senior in middle school.

"I believe that with the guidance of Hongcun's seniors, Saya's practice course can be successfully completed."

No matter how hot the flame of jealousy burned in his heart, Akashi still didn't show it, and his face still maintained the illusion of peace and indifference.

"Akashi, then your relationship with Hashimoto is..."

The hidden will in his heart occasionally overwhelmed the ruler of reason. When Hongcun asked this question, he realized that he had said something wrong, but it was too late to change his words temporarily, and Akashi had already given him a correct answer.

"Saya is my fiancee."

Fiancee, fiancee, fiancee.Why is this answer that should have been guessed so difficult to convince myself?

That title stopped Hongcun's mind for an instant, and it took him a long time to recover and slowly accept the result.

Who would have expected that a brief encounter in middle school could also develop to the point of talking about marriage?Akashi did what no one else could do.He had to admire this from the bottom of his heart, and also admitted that his emotional perseverance was not as good as his junior's persistence and patience.
