Chapter 16: "The Most Important Man"
After lunch, Lin Xinyi returned to the office.
As in the morning, no one came here to disturb him in the afternoon.
It's as if he, the director of safety, only needs to sit in the office, and the lab will be safe.
And then, just like that, after he broke the record for primary minesweepers to 2 seconds, another afternoon passed with nothing.
It was already 5 p.m.
Lin Xinyi rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, wondering what time he would be able to get off work.
And at this moment, a mobile phone rang suddenly.
Lin Xinyi, who had been playing all afternoon and his brain was a little dull, suddenly cheered up:
"Someone called 'me'..."
"Who could it be, or the security guard in the morning?"
Quickly took out the mobile phone and looked at it, only to see that the number remarks displayed on it were:
"The most important people."
"This..."Lin Xinyi's pupils shrank:
There are two numbers stored in the original owner's mobile phone, one is "laboratory" and the other is "the most important person".
The number "laboratory" is clearly for work, and this "most important person" ...
Who knows who this person will be and how deep the relationship with the original owner will be.
"I hope it's not some parents..."
Lin Xinyi didn't want to call dad to a stranger.
With this slight nervousness, he finally answered the phone:
"Hello?"
It was a young female voice on the other end of the line.
Like the security guard in the morning, the woman's voice was cold.
But the way of cold is not the same.
The voice of the security chief was like an ice field in winter, cold and unforgiving.
The young woman's voice was more like the autumn forest, faintly revealing the sadness of wabi-sabi.
Of course, these are just Lin Xinyi's subjective feelings.
And his more intuitive idea is:
How can the person who called the original owner speak in this tone... Do you want to cool yourself when your air conditioner is broken?
Lin Xinyi was complaining in his heart.
The young woman on the other end of the phone said:
"You're in the office now, aren't you?"
Lin Xin's heart jumped:
This so-called "most important person" turned out to be in this pharmaceutical company?
Is it the female colleague of the original owner? Or is the relationship a step further?
"I'm in the office." Lin Xinyi replied stiffly.
The young lady on the other end of the line spoke unusually succinctly: "I'll go over now." ”
As soon as the voice ended, the phone was hung up.
Lin Xinyi's mood suddenly became a little apprehensive.
And just a few minutes later, there was a knock on his office door.
"Please come in."
As soon as the door opened, the woman who came in was...
"Shiho Miyano?"
Seeing this tea-haired girl who pushed the door in with frost on her face, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but be a little stunned:
How could it be her? This is the "most important person"?
Why didn't she even say hello at lunchtime, and looked at me with that disgusted look?
When Lin Xinyi first received the call, he also speculated that this "most important person" would be a female colleague or even a girlfriend who had a close relationship with the original owner.
But now it seems that his relationship with Shiho Miyano is not so simple.
Could it be that Shiho Miyano is actually "me"...
Having an awkward girlfriend?
Lin Xinyi was making bold assumptions and preparing to verify carefully, while Miss Shiho Miyano had no expression on her face, and said to him with pity:
"Are you ready to go?"
Lin Xinyi: "......"
Shiho Miyano frowned slightly: "Why are you still sitting?" ”
Lin Xinyi: "......"
The ice-cube face of the tea-haired girl gradually melted, and her delicate facial features were faintly and visibly anxious: "Why don't you speak?" Is there something wrong? ”
Lin Xinyi was still silent, acting like an ice cube than the previous Miss Miyano.
However, his heart is extremely lively at the moment:
Let's go? Where to?
Girl, you say!
Lin Xinyi's scalp was numb for a while, and his current situation was exactly the same as when he faced the interrogation of Officer Twilight in the morning.
It's just that the one who asked him now is still an acquaintance of the original owner, and if he can't answer it all the time, I'm afraid he will soon find out that something is wrong.
"This, ahem..."
Lin Xinyi was silent for a long time, and finally said hard:
"I need to think about it again."
"You..."
The tea-haired girl's eyes became sharper and sharper:
"Why don't you take me to my sister?!"
“... Sister? Lin Xinyi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart: "I finally said something useful." ”
Listening to this meaning, "myself" should have made an appointment with this Miss Miyano in advance to meet her sister after work today.
Well, that's a big problem.
If the two parties are just an ordinary relationship, will "myself" agree to go to see her sister with a female colleague?
Think of the note "important person"... Hiss...
This can't really be "my" girlfriend who is having an awkward relationship, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Xinyi felt more and more big:
He didn't want to have a girlfriend he didn't know at all for some reason.
What's more, although this Miss Miyano is good-looking, her personality is a little bad - every time I see him, it's like seeing an enemy, and her expression is so cold that it makes people shiver.
Oh, this kind of girlfriend doesn't want it!
"That..."
Lin Xin thought about it for a while, and finally expressed his estrangement very euphemistically:
"I'm not going today, you can go by yourself."
Shiho Miyano: "......."
She now only has the opportunity to meet her sister Akemi Miyano once a week.
As a "prisoner" under house arrest in this laboratory, she must be approved by Lin Xinyi, the "prison warden", and under his full escort and supervision, before she can leave the laboratory and go out for activities.
As long as Lin Xinyi does not agree and does not accompany her, she will not be able to step out of this building for half a step.
So... Let her go on her own?
Not to mention whether she can walk out of the door of the company herself, even if Lin Xinyi really dares to let her out alone...
It is estimated that in less than half an hour, Gin will have to carry his Beretta M92F that will kill his own people.
"Are you kidding me?"
Miss Miyano's facial expression was scarce, but Lin Shinichi still read the annoyance from her slightly upturned eyebrows.
What's even more concerning is that her beautiful blue-green pupils seem to be faintly glowing with suspicion.
"Oops, she seems to have seen that I'm a little different than before."
"Indeed... If you are a person who has a close relationship with the original owner, you will definitely be able to notice something that others can't. ”
Lin Xinyi faintly felt that something was wrong:
It seems that he has to make a straightforward decision with this Miss Miyano.
Since the original owner himself was in conflict with her, and he didn't even leave a word for this "girlfriend" before committing suicide, he might as well break up neatly now.
In this way, contact with the original owner's acquaintance can be minimized, so as not to cause trouble.
So, after a brief silence...
Lin Xinyi raised his head and said to Miyano Shiho in the gentler tone possible:
"Shiho..."
He vaguely knew that between the opposite sex who were close to him, they should call each other by name.
Therefore, at this formal moment of proposing to break up, Lin Shinichi chose to gently call Miss Miyano "Shiho".
"Shiho."
"Actually, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time..."
He was trying to issue a permanent good guy card to Shiho Miyano as the original owner.
But unexpectedly, after hearing this gentle "Shiho", Miss Miyano's face immediately changed.
Extremely rarely, her facial expressions would be as rich as they are now.
This kind of expression containing shock, embarrassment, disgust, disgust, resistance and other emotions is extremely complex and difficult to describe, if you have to use an analogy...
It's probably the same as when Lin Xinyi returned to his hometown for the New Year, he saw the aunt next door holding a photo of her niece's P to space distortion, and she had to introduce him to someone.
"I see..."
Shiho Miyano unconsciously took two steps back:
"Wait, I'll come back later."
As she spoke, she walked out of the office without saying anything, and closed the door with a cold face before going out.
As soon as the door closed, in Lin Xinyi's stunned silence, there was a stumbling call outside the door.
About a minute later, Shiho Miyano reappeared in front of Lin Shinichi.
She pushed open the door and said to him in a cold tone:
"Lin, there's your phone."
"Huh?"
Lin Xinyi was slightly stunned.
And almost in the next second, the phone in his arms began to ring.
When I took it out, it was the number of the "security chief" in the morning.
Naturally, the leader's call did not dare to slack off.
Lin Xinyi immediately connected the mobile phone and put it to his ear, and shouted in the tone of those black-clothed security guards by the way:
"Boss, what's the matter?"
“.......”
The leader on the other end of the line was a little silent.
He muttered for a moment before he finally spoke, but his voice was not as cold and calm as before.
Obviously, what he was going to say next was something that made him feel incredible:
"Shirley called and said you..."
"Sexually harassing her?"
Lin Xinyi: "......"
