Chapter 300: Magic and Tricks
In fact, from a normal point of view, although Jiang Yan, Lannaser, and Kassandra are indeed a little out of place with the employees here, it is somewhat too much to doubt them because of this.
Ruby, however, thinks almost categorically that the three of them are eccentric, and the most important thing for her to make this judgment is her intuition in addition to her vision and experience.
It may seem outrageous, but Ruby's instincts have always been very good.
In addition to experience, knowledge and courage, intuition is also a very important factor in doing business.
After all, shopping malls are like battlefields, and this battlefield is often shrouded in all kinds of fog, so that people can't see the east, west, north and south at a glance.
In this case, intuition becomes a weapon that sounds a little metaphysical, but can come in handy unexpectedly.
It is precisely because Ruby's intuition is very effective, so when she saw the trio of Jiang Yan, her first reaction was that these three guys were weird, and if she looked closely, she could see the details of the problem.
Hearing the eldest lady say that the three guys over there might have come to inquire about the information, the deputy sitting next to him immediately whispered:
"It's commercial spies again, I'm going to notify the security services to arrest them."
For a large enterprise of the level of "Blackwater Chaebol", it is normal for other organizations to send commercial spies to lurk.
Even Ruby herself sent seventy or eighty commercial spies to lurk in the major forces, constantly providing all kinds of information for her family.
Therefore, when commercial spies infiltrate them, they basically notify the security department to come and take them away and send them to prison for a few years.
But Ruby shook her head when she heard this, and said in a somewhat hesitant tone:
"Don't call security just yet...... They don't feel like commercial spies, but like they have some other purpose."
"For another purpose? Are you going to come and assassinate the company's top executives?"
"That's not it, they don't have murderous energy in them, but they give people the impression that they are ...... It's like judging the feeling of our staff cafeteria."
Ha? When Ruby said this, the rest of the group was stunned.
Is there any mistake? Is there something wrong with the three guys over there? Infiltrating our headquarters just to judge our staff canteen? What kind of enthusiast foodie is this?
Maybe because this reason is too funny, Ruby herself smiled a little embarrassedly and said with a smile:
"Forget it, it's not an option to do this, I'll go and say hello to them."
"Miss? You....... Do you go by yourself?"
"yes." Ruby got up from her chair and picked up her plate, which barely contained any food, and whispered, "Don't make a noise, just sit here and watch, it's never too late to come back if there's any problem."
For the courage of their eldest lady and the fiery style of acting, these subordinates have long been accustomed to it.
So they had no choice but to watch the eldest lady pick up a plate and walk to the four-person table over there.
At this time, Jiang Yan and the others were chatting and eating at the same time, but who knew that a slender figure suddenly came over with a dinner plate.
"Three, don't you mind if I set up a stage?"
Ruby's speech and demeanor are very elegant and elegant, and she has a kind smile on her face.
It's just that when they saw that this strange woman actually took the initiative to lean over, Jiang Yan and Kassandra's faces couldn't help but show a trace of vigilance.
Who is she? Employees here? Why did you come to us for a stage?
Just as Jiang Ember was thinking, Lanna Cel, who was sitting opposite him, put down the fork in her hand and smiled:
"Of course, please sit down, it will be more lively to eat when there are more people."
"Thanks, then you're welcome."
Ruby nodded, put down her plate, and sat down next to Lannather.
For this uninvited guest, Jiang Yan didn't know what to say for a while.
So he had to eat with his head down, and use the meal to relieve the sudden awkward atmosphere.
But Jiang Ember didn't speak, it didn't mean that Ruby wouldn't take the initiative to speak, she came to test them.
"I don't think I've seen you before." Ruby scooped up some baked milk pudding with a spoon and took a small bite, pretending to be casual and asked, "Is that a new colleague who just came in?" If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
"I'm not a new colleague, I've been working here for months."
Lannathel seemed to have expected her to ask this question, shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's just that these two guys are often sent out, so I haven't seen you much, Miss Ruby."
Miss? Hearing Lannacel say this, Jiang Ember and Kassandra also reacted immediately.
It turned out that the woman who suddenly sat down with them was the eldest lady of the "Jewel Clan", that is, the actual helmsman of the current "Blackwater Chaebol".
Although Ruby's father, the "Trade King" Dai Amun, is still alive, he spends most of his time recuperating due to the lord's poor health, and all kinds of affairs are handed over to his daughter Ruby.
In other words, the "World's No. 1 Chef Fighting Conference" for me was initiated by this eldest lady....... Is the fourth artificial spiritual costume also in her hand?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ember picked up a piece of lobster and put it in his mouth to chew, but the fresh and crispy lobster meat suddenly became tasteless.
Ruby, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows and said solemnly, "You said the two of them are often sent out? That's too much, who is their immediate boss? This kind of guy who over-manipulates employees, I should give him a cross on the end-of-month evaluation form."
Although Ruby is obviously concerned about the welfare of employees, everyone can see that she just wants to find out about the direct superiors of the three people.
In the "Black Tower", the work of each department is prepared by a special person in charge, and it is not difficult to investigate along the way.
But Lannassel had obviously thought of this a long time ago, so she nodded and said, "It's 'Minister Jose of the Planning and Marketing Department, maybe he has been busy with work outside lately, so he uses people a little too much."
"Minister José....... Hehe, that's a coincidence."
The moment she heard the name, Ruby smiled slightly, stood up and waved not far away, "Minister Jose, please come here, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
Hiss! No way! So what minister really happens to be eating here? Trouble!
When Ruby waved his hand to call the middle-aged man with a mustache over, Jiang Ember couldn't help but take a secret breath, feeling bad in his heart.
Now although Jiang Ember has impersonated the identities of the three inner ghosts, it is not wrong that his appearance has become much different from them.
But the three inner ghosts have not been sent out for a long time or anything, this is completely a lie that Lannacel made up casually in order to cover up that the two did not know the eldest lady.
But a lie is always a lie, and as soon as this minister comes, won't everything be exposed?
There's no way, let's just rush out with the two of them after the break...... It's a bit embarrassing, though.
As for his first spy career to end with his deeds being exposed and fleeing in embarrassment, Jiang Yan wants to say that he is not dissatisfied at all, which is naturally impossible.
But before Jiang Ember was ready to lead someone away, Lannathel kicked him lightly under the table, while shaking her head slightly.
It's okay, don't worry, there's a way.
Ay? Is there a way to do this? What the hell is she .......
The next moment, the middle-aged minister named Jose came to the table.
"Hello Miss, what do you command?" José said as he stroked his mustache, which was his daily habit.
Ruby, on the other hand, glanced at the three people sitting at the table and asked seriously, "Minister José, are the three of them your subordinates?"
"Yes, did they make any mistakes? Or did you offend you, Miss?"
「
That's not true, but I've heard that you often send these two out on business, is that true?"
When Ruby asked the question, a hint of banter and smugness flashed in her eyes.
You three spies who don't know what to do, are you going to be exposed?
But as soon as Ruby's words fell, Minister Jose nodded and said, "That's true, because these two newcomers are usually very serious and capable, so I let them go through more experience."
「....... Huh?"
It's the first time in Jiang Yan's life that he has seen a person's face droop so quickly.
Just now she was in high spirits and triumphant, as if Ruby, who was on trial, was suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.
How....... What's going on? Are they really Jose's men? And it seems that Jose is quite familiar with them?
Ruby naturally has a lot of trust in his minister, after all, Jose is usually known for his stern and fair style, and it is hard to imagine that he would give perjury for several spies, and do it so naturally.
Could it be said? Are they really their own employees? Is my gut feeling wrong?
Thinking of this, Ruby's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, but she was still strong and calm:
"I see, I also think they have a lot of potential, work hard in the future, work hard, I ...... I've got something to do, so I'll go first."
Awkward, when Ruby picked up the plate and fled quickly, she felt her back exude an air of embarrassment.
Especially when she felt the gazes that had been staring at her from behind, the eldest lady was even more eager to dig a hole in the ground on the spot.
Just as Ruby left quickly, Jiang Ember looked at Minister Jose, who was walking leisurely towards the door, and asked suspiciously:
"What's going on? Lanna Cel, the minister too...... Is that the one you arranged to come in?"
But that's unlikely, isn't it? The bad guy is also a high-level minister, and he obviously has the trust of Ruby.
If an executive of this level wants to buy him and let him tell this kind of lie that is very easy to expose in front of the eldest lady, the risk seems to be too great, so how much money does it take.
However, Lannathel shook her head with a smile and whispered, "Do you think that guy just now is really Minister Jose?"
"Someone else in disguise? But how can it be so ....... Yes! I see!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yan slapped his thigh violently, and suddenly understood what the "Minister Jose" was just now.
If you think about it, it should not be Jose's real person at all, but a mimic illusion that Lannacel has transformed into her psychic creature "Mimic Empress".
The reason why it is described as "mimicry" instead of "disguise" is because the person conjured up by the mimic queen is really too similar.
The kind of speech and demeanor that makes people indistinguishable from the real thing, the functionality is very scary.
Seeing that Jiang Ember understood what had just happened, Lannassel took a sip of the teacup and whispered:
"This is actually the goal of bringing you here to dine this time, and I plan to have the Mimic Empress copy more useful faces in this headquarters for her next actions....... I didn't expect there to be a windfall."
There are two conditions for the mimicry of the mimic empress to change, the first is that you must have seen the face of the real thing, and the second is that you must have heard the voice of the real thing.
What you have seen here has to be done by seeing the real thing, and seeing it through some remote observation methods is completely ineffective.
That's why, Lannather. Collecting medicine and personally running this trip to the Black Giant Tower, ostensibly to eat, is actually to increase the replication library of his psychic creatures.
"I've just met Miss Ruby and her followers who often appear by her side, and I can let the Mimic Empress appear as them at any time in the future."
After understanding Lannacel's plan, Jiang Ember couldn't help but take a deep breath and give her a thumbs up.
But that's not all, Lanather continued, "And I didn't expect that the eldest lady to sit next to me, which made me do something to her."
"Hands and feet? What hands and feet."
"No, this is it." Lannathel stretched out her white palm, and she could vaguely see a small creature like an ant in her palm.
"This is a sound transmission ant, a strange species that I discovered in the forbidden land outside the realm before, this thing is a male and female team, and it can transmit sound dozens of miles away."
"Voice Ants....... It's such a funny little monster, then you just ........"
"Well, now that the female voice ant has been put on Miss Ruby's body, we can hear what she's saying over there now."
Suddenly, Lannassel reached out and touched Jiang Yan's ear, and directly let the little ant crawl into his ear hole.
Although the experience is very ...... It was subtle, but it was true that as soon as the male ant entered, Jiang Ember immediately heard a conversation.
"Miss, I just saw Minister José pass, what's wrong?"
"Hey, don't mention it, I made a mistake, those guys aren't spies, they're really new colleagues."
Judging from Ruby's obviously somewhat depressed tone, she was obviously a little overwhelmed by her own recklessness just now, and her mood became very low.
But her subordinates are also time-tested veterans, so she immediately comforted: "If you are not a spy, that is a good thing, and it would be better for the eldest lady to focus on the cooking competition and those two adults."
"Yes...... Anyway, no one is allowed to go to the rooftop garden, and if I anger those two adults, I won't be able to save their lives."
"Yes, Miss."
After that, there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, and Ruby stopped talking.
But just these two sentences of dialogue have already given Jiang Ember enough information.
