Chapter 25: The Scrap Wood Alliance

"Let me introduce you to Kono Shohei-kun, who is my good friend and joined the bureaucracy with us!"

With the completion of Lin Xiuyi's introduction, everyone present burst into warm applause, and although Kono Xiangping had a warm smile on his face, he couldn't help but say a little sneering in his heart:

"Why am I going out with these guys for a second round!"

When the Shinagawa Prince Hotel meeting ended, most of the colleagues who attended the party did not go home immediately, but instead invited alumni from the same school or colleagues from the same department to go out for a second round of drinks. And Lin Xiuyi's side, because he graduated from Kagoshima University, is as rare as a rare animal in front of the elites from these prestigious schools, so it is naturally impossible for him to know any alumni. In addition to having a good relationship with Shohei Kono, Lin Xiuyi can only talk to these weirdos he just met.

"So...... What university did Kono-kun graduate from?"

As soon as Yu Zuocheng saw that there were new members in the organization to join, he immediately inquired about the other party without any scruples.

"That...... I was admitted to the civil service after graduating from the University of Tokyo!"

"Eh, aren't you an alumnus of Kirihara-kun?"

Hearing Kono's answer, Kitamura Nakio also asked Kono Shohei in surprise.

"Hey...... Strictly speaking, Mr. Kirihara was my senior at the University of Tokyo, and it was my dream to enter the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. ”

Kono Shohei modestly replied to Akio Kitamura that although he knew that these guys sitting here were basically the bottom of this civil service, Kono didn't want to show a condescending look and make others hate him. Kono firmly believes that even a single screw may be a powerful boost to his career at some special moment in the future.

"So now, there are two members of our study club who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and if you encounter anything that needs help in the future, please also ask Xiangpingjun to give me more advice!"

"There, there, I also have a lot to learn from you, Mr. Kitamura?"

After Kono Shohei greeted everyone, everyone immediately raised their glasses and drank again. And Mr. Kirihara, an alumnus of Tokyo University who had been admitted to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry but had left because of a scandal, looked at Kono, who was sitting across from him, with a somewhat complicated gaze.

"That...... Since Xiu Yijun works in the Metropolitan Police Department, he must have excellent fighting skills and physical strength!"

After everyone put down their wine glasses, Yu Zuo Chengyi immediately couldn't wait to ask Lin Xiuyi.

"This ...... Anyway, if I admit it, will it make you think I'm too arrogant?"

"Whereever, since Shuichi-kun can become a member of the Metropolitan Police Department, he must also be outstanding in some aspects, and this is also the reason why our colleagues organize study meetings together! Everyone learns from each other's strengths, learns from each other, and strives to contribute their strength to the people......

Akio Kitamura suddenly interjected, and took the opportunity to explain the original intention of the study meeting for Lin Shuichi.

"Please don't worry, this guy once served as a minister in the General Assembly before he was admitted to the civil service, but then unfortunately he was laid off. So he often says some strange things, and the most ridiculous thing is that every time he attends a party with his boss or something, others always think he is the superior and toast him desperately. It's funny to think about......"

Kirihara, who hadn't spoken much, had a few drinks, and then began to uncover the old bottom of Kitamura, but it could be seen that although these people always liked to tease each other, everyone didn't really take it to heart.

"That...... Ms. Morino, do you regularly participate in study sessions?"

Kono Shohei saw that the lady was the only one present who didn't seem to speak, so he simply accosted the other party.

"Hmm...... Basically, I participate in every event of the study club. ”

"Uh...... What do you do in your usual activities?"

Shohei Kono continued to ask.

"It's just to share your hobbies or specialties together, like me, because I graduated from a sports university, so I like baseball very much, so if it's my turn every time I study, I'll take everyone to play baseball or something. ”

"Oh...... By the way, Mr. Kitamura's hobby is photography, and now because he works at the Tourism Agency, he often brings his own photos to share with us, and occasionally gives us travel deals and the like. ”

"But Mr. Kirihara's side is more powerful, after all, he is an elite who has worked in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and occasionally gives us some tips on stocks or investments, and in most cases, according to his guidance, we can still make some money more or less. ”

"As for Sister Morino's side, whether it's the flower arrangement, the tea ceremony, or the wine ceremony, there are many eye-opening places for us!"

Hearing Yu Zuo Seiichi's introduction, Lin Xiuyi's heart couldn't help but have a completely different understanding of these newly met friends.

"Sounds like there's a lot going on?"

Lin Xiu picked up his wine glass, and couldn't help but feel a little envious and said to the people who were doing it.

"yes...... I wonder if I'll be able to join us next time?"

As Shohei Kono spoke, his eyes involuntarily looked at Miyuki Morino on the side, and it could be seen that he seemed to be very interested in this somewhat mysterious woman. But there is one thing that Lin Shuichi hasn't had time to tell Shohei Kono, that is, what Seiichi Hasa said before, Miyuki Morino used to be the lover of his eldest brother. In fact, Lin Xiuyi was also very curious about this point.

Although Lin Xiuyi and these people had only just met, because everyone didn't have much expectations for their careers, this meal was extremely relaxed and happy. It wasn't until the izakaya closed that everyone was reluctantly kicked out by the store.

"Feeling...... Or is there something you can't get enough of?"

Seiichi Hasa stood at the door of the izakaya and said to everyone nostalgically.

"If you don't continue drinking, I'd like to find another place to sit with you for a while. ”

Miyuki Morino replied with a cigarette roll between them.

"But it's so late, and only convenience stores and izakaya are still open!"

Kirihara frowned, looked at the surrounding environment, and then rejected the proposal of the two with some regret.

"That...... If you don't mind, why don't we find a place to have a coffee?"

Just when everyone hadn't decided where to go next, Lin Xiuyi suddenly cautiously raised his hand and suggested to everyone
