death of hope

Chapter 958: "Psychic Storm" (34)
There was an electronic "ding-ling" sound, and the heavy metal elevator door opened.

The stewardess smiled like a flower, her charming dimples were extremely cute, and she bent down gracefully, bowing to the two of them in the manner of an oriental maid:

"Hello, Director Joseph, hello, Director Li Ang~"

As the face of the company, front desk receptionists and elevator attendants are both image positions. These positions are like antique vases placed in the company lobby; even if they are not shown to outsiders, they are pleasing to the eyes for company employees. It is customary to arrange beautiful women to be on duty.

But the aura emanating from Toyama Ruriko is extremely powerful, and she doesn't look like a vase for people to admire at all.

·
"Hello, Ms. Ruriko." Li Ang responded with gentlemanly etiquette.

Dr. Joseph muttered with an unhappy look on his face: (Humph, you still need someone to open this crappy elevator, why don’t you just press the button yourself!)
The old man very rudely refused to greet the other party and strode into the elevator with his hands in his pockets, which was in line with his "Frankenstein" stereotype. Li Ang followed him in quietly and low-key.

The elevator attendant had a professional fake smile on her face. Higashiyama Ruriko pulled up her wide kimono sleeves and placed her slender white fingers on the brushed metal keypad:
"Excuse me~Are you two going to the director's office?"

"No, not going." Joseph said coldly: "Let's go to floor B14."

·
(Um?)
Dongshan Liulizi raised her eyebrows and quickly glanced at the employee card tag on Li Ang's chest:

(Head of the Security Department, D-level personnel, low-level management personnel, and the main force of the company's grassroots structure.

He is often asked by his superiors to lead the team to perform high-risk tasks, and his disability rate is extremely high, so he is jokingly called the "cannon fodder captain" by company executives.
Ruriko was a little curious. Why was Li Ang, a rookie D-level personnel who had not yet passed the assessment of the head office, allowed to enter the core confidential area of ​​the research institute as an exception?
This kind of practice that only adds unnecessary risks is not something that a fussy and serious old man like Joseph HF Dann would do.

(Haha, interesting guy, worth continuing to observe~)

Toyama Ruriko glanced at Li Ang again and quickly looked away.

Her pretty face with a fake smile remained calm. She pressed the round button "B14" with her finger and said in her hometown dialect:

"Hope no Tong, Director"

(As you wish, Director.)
Joseph's face darkened: (Damn Japanese woman! She can speak the common language, but she insists on speaking the bird language of her hometown!)

Li Ang was gifted, with five senses superior to those of ordinary people. Hearing the director's mumbling, he thought that this old man was really petty.

New Sapporo was originally a colony developed by the Japanese, and the head office of the research institute, Sakura Corporation, is also a century-old Japanese family business. There is nothing wrong with the elevator lady speaking a few words of her hometown dialect here.

·
The heavy metal door closed and the elevator headed deep underground. Leon looked like a pitiful intern who had just arrived at the company. He lowered his head and folded his hands behind Dr. Joseph.

He smelled the scent of high-grade sandalwood and natural flower essence, and raised his eyelids slightly to admire the intricate flower embroidery on the thick kimono worn by the flight attendant. (Perfume and clothes are not cheap. Today she did not wear a short skirt OL outfit, but a kimono. She was less exposed, but very classy. When she smiled, her dimples were simply... too charming... No wonder the male and even some female employees in the station were pursuing her...)
When we reached the B14 floor, the flight attendant bowed and said:
"お事事が顺动に入みますように~"

(I wish you good luck in your work~)

As soon as the elevator door closed, the old man could no longer hold back and started swearing with spit flying everywhere:
"What a hapless woman! She had to speak her native dialect! It's so ugly, like a bird's language!"

Joseph turned his head and looked at Leon, his gray eyebrows moving like a caterpillar:
"You kid...you're not going to chase that elevator lady like your colleagues, like those idiots who can only think with their lower half S, are you?"

·
Li Ang said calmly: "She's not my type."

"Hmm? So what kind do you like?"

"Pure, kind, and lovely."

Dr. Joseph shook his head helplessly. "Although I hate that unfortunate woman, I have to admit that she is cute and has bewitched those fools in our institute."

"Ms. Liulizi's cuteness is fake. She is not like that in her true nature." Li Ang paused and continued, "Besides, I feel that she is not pure or kind at all. She is a very scary woman."

·
"Good! Well said! Great!"

The old man's eyebrows relaxed after hearing this, and he was obviously very happy. He looked up at the camera in the corner and whispered in Li Ang's ear:
"If you can speak, then speak more."

Because of nervousness, Li Ang's mouth was dry. He knew that this was a critical moment that would determine his future. He had to cling to his benefactor's thigh and become his right-hand man in order to be reused. So, he whispered to the doctor:

"Toyama Ruriko is a spy sent by the head office to monitor our institute, especially you.
Although I don't know which executive sent her or which faction she belongs to, if anything happens, I will definitely stand by your side to repay your kindness."

There is no doubt that these words are a token of allegiance.

The highly capable newcomer Leon Vilnius is willing to offer his loyalty to the director of the New Sapporo Psychic Research Institute.

Place your bets in the complex power struggle of the mega-corporation Sakura Corporation and side with the Psychic Academy led by Dr. Joseph.

"Good boy!"

Joseph patted Leon on the back, his gesture and tone were intimate, and he treated him as his own:

"Come on, let me show you the treasures we have in our institute~"
