Chapter 77 4. Colleagues die early

Yi Chuan didn't know that Jiu Mu was thinking about this, he leaned his upper body forward slightly: How about the company? That's it. Even this point was answered so ambiguously, and Igawa was a little displeased. Your statements are always unclear. Jiu Mu recalled that at the end of last year, Yi Chuan had asked him if he wanted to change jobs to the publishing bureau of his newspaper. At that time, he couldn't make up his mind and gave an ambiguous answer. After that, Yi Chuan didn't mention this matter again. Maybe the current situation is the best for you. Yichuan seemed to be obliquely saying that the previous poaching was invalid.

Anyway, Jiu Mu has no intention of changing jobs now, and was silent, when Yi Chuan changed the subject: How is it?Do you want to go to the center to give some lessons? no thanks. It is now impossible to go to cultural centers for a small fee. My side is not bad. Recently, new lectures have been added, and the number of students has also increased. The management achievements are also countable in Tokyo. that's nice Some time ago, he won the president's award, and he might be able to become the head of the headquarters for coordinating the cultural center in Tokyo from the beginning of July.

It seems that the main purpose of Yichuan's meeting today is to tell the news. Congratulations! Jiu Mu helped Yichuan pour the beer, and suddenly realized that the feeling of incompatibility just now might be the difference in lifestyle between those who are dedicated to improvement and those who are willing to degenerate. After seeing Yi Chuan, Jiu Mu felt a little depressed.It's not because I heard that Igawa is going to be promoted to the head of the cultural center in Tokyo, no matter how prosperous he is, he is from another company and has no direct relationship with Hisaki.

Yichuan is still working hard, but he has not done a decent job, and only cares about being in love with Rinko.He was stunned at how self-willed he was, and to exaggerate, he did such a shameful thing, feeling ashamed spontaneously. Is it right to do this?This is a question he has been thinking about since the two moved into this room in Shibuya, and after meeting Yichuan, this layer of doubt has deepened.Half a month later, as if I couldn't wait for the rainy season in June, more depressing news came. Mizuguchi, who had been recuperating, died of illness two days after the Meteorological Bureau announced the arrival of plum blossom.

Mizuguchi was only one year older than him, and joined the company together. Because of this, they became friends with each other very well and were promoted at a similar speed.It was only after Hisaki was demoted from the publishing department to the investigation office that there was a distance between the two. Mizuguchi was promoted all the way to the director, but was suddenly released to the subsidiary at the end of last year. However, he was promoted to the president of the subsidiary not long after, but he fell ill with lung cancer before he could display his talents. He had an operation in March. When Jiumu went to see him, he heard from his wife that he was hopeless.

Hisaki has been thinking about this matter all the time, and was hesitating whether to visit him again, but Mizuguchi's condition deteriorated further. Goro Mizuguchi, director of our company and president of Malone Corporation, passed away at 5:20 this morning.Seeing that the age of fifty-four was written on the back of this newsletter in the company, Hisaki couldn't help but think of what Mizuguchi said when he visited a doctor three months ago. After all, people are going to die of old age, and they must do what they want to do when they can. Did Mizuguchi think this way until he died?

At 6 p.m. on the day after Mizuguchi's death, a wake was held at a temple near Mizuguchi's house in Chofu. The funeral was prepared by the young colleagues of the company. Jiu Mu arrived earlier than the scheduled time. Many colleagues came to express their condolences. Soon the monks began to chant sutras. The posthumous photo of Shuikou surrounded by flowers in the center of the mourning hall was taken about two or three years ago, with a slight smile and piercing eyes, which makes people feel his domineering when he was healthy. Although it has been released as a subsidiary, it is the current president after all. From the left and right sides of the altar to the two ends of the mourning hall, there are full of flower baskets sent by the presidents, editors, and customers of various publishing houses.

Looking at these flowers, Jiu Mu somehow thought of the word death. It seems inappropriate to say that a person who died at the age of fifty-four died young, but judging by people of the same age group, Mizuguchi died earlier. In any case, Mizuguchi likes to work and only thinks about the company.It's a bit ironic that such a person dies first, while a superfluous person like myself lives leisurely. It was time to burn incense, and Jiu Mu joined the queue.There are quite a few acquaintances. Nakazawa, who joined the company as the sales manager in the same year, was beside him, exchanging glances and greetings.

As he approached the altar step by step, Hisaki became more and more aware of Mizuguchi's death, and he solemnly joined his hands to pay homage to the posthumous photo. Why did you die? At this moment, Jiu Mu can only say so. Before commemorating Mizuguchi and praying for Mizuguchi's blessings, first ask him why he is so eager to die. This is because this question has always puzzled Jiumu and he can't let go of it.Although the illness came suddenly, but like him, it can only be said that he accidentally stepped on the landmine of cancer.Shuikou and himself are now separated by life and death, the only difference is whether they step on this landmine.

Jiu Mu finished offering incense in a state of mind that he couldn't let go of, and after paying tribute to his family members, he stepped out of the mourning hall. Nakazawa stopped him and went over there for a chat! On the right hand side of the mourning hall is the lounge, where friends and colleagues who have a good relationship with the deceased seem to gather in it. Because it was Shuikou's wake night, I naturally wanted to chat with everyone about Shuikou there, but if I went in, I would definitely meet some old colleagues. Is it okay to talk for a while? Zhongze invited him to go with him again, so he had no choice but to follow in.Twenty or thirty people had already gathered in the room, and everyone was drinking beer. Hisaki and a few familiar faces sat down after a brief exchange of greetings, and Nakazawa immediately opened his mouth.

Mizuguchi said he envied you! I? Nakazawa wiped the beer foam off his lips. He, he only knows about work from morning to night, and he is busy from morning till night. He was enjoying it. Of course, you do it because you like it.However, after being transferred to a subsidiary company, he seemed to start to wonder what his past life was?But just when he wanted to live a more relaxed life in the future, he got cancer. Hisaki also heard Mizuguchi say this when he went to visit the doctor last time. He said it would be nice to be like you. like me? You don't have to hide it from me, aren't you with the woman you like? This incident actually reached Zhongze's ears, and Jiumu's heart became heavy. It's good to work, but I also want to fall in love like you, especially at this age. But he loves his wife so much He was indeed too late. Seeing him die like this, he always felt like he was being chased by something to spend his life. He always felt that it was insufficient or lonely to go on like this. Because his friend just passed away, Nakazawa's words are particularly touching, but to love a woman seriously is not a pastime in leisure time, but a heavy burden. How much can Nakazawa understand? Kuki felt a little out of place here.
