Chapter 76 3. Worries of office workers

However, Rinko, who hardly ever goes out, is fine, and Hisaki, who has to go to work every day, will naturally have a gap between reality and dream life. The life of going to work during the day, meeting with colleagues, and working at a desk is a reality, but the decadent life in the two-person world in Shibuya is almost a fantasy.Traveling between these two completely different worlds, it is almost impossible to blend them. In fact, the atmosphere of Shibuya's decadent life can't help showing up in the company. The female secretary said half tentatively: I seem to be a little tired recently!Sometimes when he took a nap, she would say sarcastically: It's better not to force yourself too much!

Although the male colleague would not be so cynical, but his tired and dissolute aura, even Muramatsu, who is close to him, couldn't help but care about his health. Every time Jiu Mu answered he was ambiguous, but in mid-May, the fact that he lived outside was finally made public. Muramatsu came to Hisaki because of an urgent matter, and called his house. His wife replied: He hasn't lived here for a long time, and I don't know anything!In this way, the truth can no longer be concealed. It's just a couple fighting, no big deal. Although Jiu Mu made a little explanation and got away with it, but the fact that he lived with a woman outside has become an open secret.

Office workers get paid for doing things, so in a sense, although their private life is a bit messy, as long as it does not hinder work, it should not be a problem.But in fact, once there is a problem with my private life, it will subtly affect my position in the company.For example, there is a triangle relationship between the wife and another woman, falling out with the partner of the affair, letting the other party break into the company, or the wife complaining to the boss, etc., will all have negative effects.Compared with banks and other institutions, although publishing houses are more tolerant towards the relationship between men and women, they don't like to encounter similar troubles.

Jiu Mu lives on a job and has no important work, and the problems in his life have not yet surfaced, and only a few colleagues around him know that he is having an affair and living together outside. But a few days later, when he and Suzuki were left alone in the office by chance, Suzuki said nonchalantly: "Your place looks really troublesome!"Kuki immediately realized that he was talking about Rinko, and couldn't answer directly, so he ambiguously perfunctory: Uh, it's okay Vigorous, really enviable miles!Suzuki sneered. Suzuki only said this at the time, didn't say anything more, and didn't specifically remind him to be more careful, but just intentionally conveyed that he also knew about it.From this point of view, everyone in the investigation room must have known about it.

Even if everyone knows now, he won't panic.When I moved out, I was mentally prepared, knowing that sooner or later people would find out, but now that the trouble has broken out, I feel more at ease.Jiu Mu comforted himself like this, but still couldn't help but care about what his colleagues would think about it. In short, with the demotion and the appearance of family estrangement, the possibility of him returning to the mainstream of the company has completely disappeared. If you feel depressed in the company, you tend to focus on your family. Jiu Mu has nothing to complain about in the company, but everyone found out that he lived with a woman outside.However, when colleagues in the investigation room whispered, he wondered if he was talking about himself and felt uneasy. When he saw other colleagues, he also suspected that others were talking about him.

This suspicious mentality makes it more difficult for him to gain a foothold in the company, and only Rinko can resolve this anxiety. Back in the Shibuya hut, when alone with Rinko, you can ignore the common sense and ethics of the world and immerse yourself in the world of the two of them.As long as in this world, no one will criticize him, no one will point fingers behind his back, no matter whether he is allowed to be lazy or indulge in love and lust, no one will criticize him .And because there are often women who cuddle with each other and accept him wholeheartedly, it is a natural result to stay in the room.

Of course, Hisaki recovers from the fatigue outside in this room and recuperates, but occasionally he feels unpredictably uneasy. If he indulges in the life of two people with Rinko for a long time, will he be separated from the company colleagues and the whole society, and in the end there will only be two people left?Even if they can make excuses that their way of life is not acceptable to the world, if they continue to live in this way, they will only widen the distance from society and make it harder to turn back. What made Hisaki especially uneasy about this was when he met Yi Chuan, whom he had not seen for a long time.As usual, it was Yichuan who called and asked him to meet him at a small restaurant in his old place in Ginza.The two haven't seen each other for almost half a year since they met at Linzi's Calligraphy Cocktail Party last fall.

There was no contact for a long time, during which Jiumu devoted himself to Rinko.Because of some embarrassment, Jiu Mu took the initiative to cut off the news, and Yi Chuan also knew the reason, so he avoided getting close to him. Yi Chuan, who had not seen him for a long time, was fatter and stronger than before.When speaking, he seemed more imposing, and asked like a questioning junior: how are you doing recently? Nothing, same old. Kuki replied ambiguously.Ikawa drank the beer in one gulp. It's better to be with her! Jiu Mu hated the prying eyes, turned his face away, and Igawa said indifferently:

In short, such a good woman is rare, come on, don't let her run away! The words seemed to be encouraging, but the tone was obviously mixed with teasing and sarcasm. But then again, I never thought she'd have the courage to leave home and live with you. Who did you listen to? Shanren knows that my intelligence network is very good! Yi Chuan said it very proudly, maybe he heard it from the calligraphy teacher who had a good relationship with Rinko in the cultural center. She will continue to write calligraphy! Practice often It's a pity for such a talented person. Didn't she not participate in the exhibition this spring?

Indeed, Rinko had said that she couldn't concentrate on calligraphy at all right now, and had given up on attending the spring exhibition. Didn't I just tell you before that she looks like she's leaving home? Jiu Mu nodded ambiguously again, remembering that Rinko asked Ikawa to be a full-time lecturer in the cultural center before. But since I'm with you, I don't need to work any more! Jiu Mu listened and knew that Yi Chuan had no intention of arranging Rinko's work. However, it is a pity that such a talented person was buried.Yi Chuan deliberately sighed: If that's the case, it's all your responsibility.

Within thirty minutes of meeting Yi Chuan, Jiu Mu felt too bored to stay any longer.It wasn't like this when we met last year. What is going on with this feeling of being out of place?Could it be that there is a difference between the self who has been completely in love with Rinko in the past six months, and Yi Chuan who lives in accordance with common sense?
