145. Read but not reply? Sexual harassment from female colleagues

On the day of the celebration party, Hiroki Shimizu almost always stayed in the section chief's office and devoted himself to his work.

However, the big project of their department is still in the preparation stage. No matter how busy they are, they can't do much. At most, they can only use it to numb themselves.

Listening to the laughter and chatter outside the office, Hiroki Shimizu couldn't help feeling irritated and uneasy.

Ever since he treated Mina Sakai's private message coldly by reading it but not replying it, the other party seemed to have become sensible and respected his personal wishes, and never came to him to ask for anything again.

However, based on Hiroki Shimizu's understanding of this woman, the above speculation is naturally impossible.

Rather than believe this, he would rather believe that his worthless wife at home could last through the five minutes and transform into an indestructible plowed field.

This banquet was going to be a fierce battle without a doubt. The emptiness and loneliness that had accumulated for so long finally came back from him.

And both of them knew this very well. Mina Sakai almost told Hiroki Shimizu directly that as long as he behaved well tonight, his previous disobedience would be written off.

Time still flows rapidly, and no so-called miracle happens.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, someone came and knocked on the door. It was the loud-voiced guy from Cheng Pingchang.

"Hurry up, Section Chief Shimizu, everyone is ready to go. Even though you are the protagonist today, please don't act so arrogantly!"

It doesn't matter. It's better to feed this greedy woman in one go than to be called into the office to do thieving again and again under the pretext of being lectured. Do you really treat him as a humanoid machine that can be hidden in a drawer and used whenever you want?

Hiroki Shimizu dressed up simply, still wearing the suit and tie of a professional, with a briefcase in his hand.

Once Mina Sakai finished her work, he would rush back home as soon as possible, just treating it as a normal overtime job...

"Section Chief Shimizu? Are you planning to... go home?"

Cheng Pingchang took a look and looked embarrassed. It was okay for him to miss the previous small gatherings, but this was a celebration party specially prepared for Shimizu Hiroki.

"Or Section Chief Shimizu, you should give your family a heads-up. Director Sakai has said that all the department members must attend this time. Those who don't go will have their performance deducted."

"Don't worry, I've already said hello. Now that everyone is ready, let's go." Shimizu Hiroki smiled, showing his attitude.

"That's right. It seems like I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. Ever since that sullen woman Sakai came here, she has completely disrupted the good work style of our department. We have to work endlessly all day long!"

Cheng Pingchang knew that Shimizu Hiroki never put on airs, so he boldly put his arm around his shoulders and complained in his ear while making bold statements.

"Section Chief Shimizu, please don't raise fish when the time comes. I must not stop drinking tonight!"

However, Shimizu Hiroki looked listless and only nodded perfunctorily.

When I walked outside, my colleagues in the department were cheering and the air was filled with joy.

It's just that everyone's sorrows and joys are different. Shimizu Hiroki only felt that they were noisy, and the bitterness in his heart spread to the tip of his tongue. He couldn't tell anyone, but he had to put on a smiling face to welcome the congratulations and wishes of his colleagues.

This feeling of separation was naturally painful, and he just wanted the celebration party to end quickly so that his wife at home wouldn't have to wait alone for too long.

The location of this team-building party is a high-end izakaya in a prime location in central Tokyo. The consumption level is quite high. It is estimated that only elite white-collar workers like Hiroki Shimizu who are considered to be in management level can afford it.

This is also the reason why everyone is so excited. This is enough to cover the cost of several previous team-building activities combined.

Not only can I enjoy the delicious food, but I can also see the world. Even if Minister Sakai, who will probably spoil the fun, wants to go with me, it won't be a big deal.

When they arrived downstairs of the company, Cheng Pingchang pulled Shimizu Yuki into his car.

His car can be said to be quite luxurious. As long as it is not in the core area of Tokyo, it is a face-saving vehicle that can be driven out to show off the streets. At night, when he rolls down the window and waves at the street, there are countless women who will fight for a seat on the passenger seat.

The other people who drove to work were not bad either. After all, they were all social elites working for large multinational corporations. The only male in the entire department who didn't have a car was Hiroki Shimizu, and he even lived in an urban area many ring roads away, which was totally unworthy of his status as a section chief.

Shimizu Hiroki got into the car from the back seat. Although he had informed Erika in advance yesterday, he took out his cell phone and sent a few messages to her, informing her that he was ready to leave for the celebration party, as well as the location and itinerary of the dinner.

Erika replied to the message within seconds and only gave two requests. The first was not to drink too much... and to take care of yourself, and the second was to go home early.

"I...I'll try my best. If I come back too late, Erika, remember to go to bed early and don't wait for me."

While typing these words, Shimizu Hiroki's fingers were almost shaking, and under his drooping bangs were a pair of dull black eyes.

Just as Shimizu Hiroki was feeling upset and waiting for his wife to reply, the other door of the car suddenly opened. He woke up suddenly and a chill suddenly rose up in his heart.

When he turned around and saw that the person was not Mina Sakai, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But Shimizu Yuki's face was not looking good, and all of this was seen by Minamikawa Yuna who shamelessly came to hitch a ride. But she seemed not to care, and the smile on her face was still bright. She had already thrown the bag on her shoulder in, and it was obvious that she had decided on this car.

"I'm sorry, I didn't drive here today, so I'd like to trouble Section Chief Shimizu to squeeze in with me!"

While speaking, Minamikawa Yuna's eyes never left Shimizu Yuki's face, and from time to time she would rub the man's lower body without leaving a trace. Because his sitting posture was too standard and straight, it naturally revealed some of its majestic features, as if he was blatantly seducing her.

[Section Chief Shimizu is such a sultry person. You have such a sexy body, but you pretend to be so aloof and proud every day! Who are you trying to show off to? ! ! ]

"Hey, you are such a sociable guy. Aren't there so many cars in front? Why do you have to get in mine?" Cheng Pingchang, who was sitting in the front, interrupted Nanchuan Yuna's unconscious fantasy with a voice.

"You can't say that. If I were to say who I'm most familiar with in the department, it would probably be you, Cheng Ping-san. Don't be so stingy. Besides, your car is really comfortable to sit in. You have good taste."

Minamikawa Yuna hated Cheng Ping Changyi's big mouth to the extreme, but in order to ride in the same car with Shimizu Yuki, she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

"Haha, now you remember my kindness? Never mind, I'll just let you enjoy my car. I think your taste in choosing cars is too poor. If you had come and asked me earlier, I could have given you some guidance!"

"Okay, Chengping, hurry up and drive. Everyone has already set off."

"Oh, okay, okay. As for me, it doesn't matter when we go. Minister Sakai is not at the table anyway, so we can only sit together and stare at each other." Cheng Pingchang started the car.

"When will she arrive?" Yuki Shimizu asked casually out of curiosity.

"How dare I ask that? Alas, I can only hope that Minister Sakai will find that he cannot integrate into our team and will leave midway."

Qingshui Yuuki nodded. Wasn’t he thinking the same thing?

"...Section Chief Shimizu must really dislike Director Sakai, right? After all, she always picks on you. Her face becomes extremely bad when she sees you, and she always calls you to her office to scold you."

Minamikawa Yuna interrupted from the side, her tone was very gentle and kind, as if she sympathized with Shimizu Yuki's situation.

"It's okay, it's just some work stuff. Who let a strong woman like Minister Sakai become our boss?"

Out of politeness, Hiroki Shimizu looked back at the woman next to him, but her actions were more or less deliberate. Her hip skirt, which was not long to begin with, had been lifted up a lot, and her round legs wrapped in fabric were crossed together, rubbing and shaking gently, and the mysterious dark triangle area was looming, as if she was afraid that he couldn't see it.

Even if there is a colleague from the same department sitting in front of you!

Noticing Shimizu Yuuki's gaze, Minamikawa Yuna turned around and gave him a faint smile that she thought was full of feminine charm, but it was completely ruined by the wanton behavior of her lower body, which made him lose his appetite.

After just a quick glance, Hiroki Shimizu turned around, opened the chat software and clicked on Mina Sakai's private account.

The last chat was about the woman wanting him to go to the office, and she sent more than a dozen messages urging him, but no one responded.

Now it was his turn. Hiroki Shimizu directly sent a message to question Mina Sakai.

"Where are you going? Are you coming to the celebration party? What are you going to do this time?"

"I advise you not to push your luck. Even though it's a company team building, I promised my wife at home that I would go home early tonight."

"Please reply to my message as soon as possible! You...you should not go too far! I..."

A series of news was thrown out, but failed to create any waves on the surface.

This was obviously abnormal for Mina Sakai, who always replied to his messages immediately.

The car drove steadily and quietly on the road, speeding towards the destination.

In this silence and uncertainty, Shimizu Hiroki gradually became more and more anxious and uneasy, and his face became extremely ugly.

This woman, Mina Sakai, definitely wanted to torture him on purpose!

At the same time, he saw the changes on the screen. All the messages he sent showed "read but not replied".

146. I feel sorry for you? A drinking game to break the deadlock!

Arriving at a high-end izakaya in the heart of Tokyo, the service attitude was naturally impeccable. A group of people poured into the store and looked around at the surrounding decoration. It exuded an ancient flavor and was indeed in the style of a retro izakaya.

Cheng Pingchang was just muttering that this small and beautiful izakaya seemed to be unable to accommodate so many people from their department for a dinner party, when a pretty waitress in a kimono came over in small steps.

"Hello, Ms. Sakai has booked a private room here. Please follow me."

"There are private rooms?"

Cheng Pingchang's eyes lit up for a moment, but he soon muttered to Shimizu Yuki, asking him to make the decision.

After all, Director Sakai is not here yet, and the most senior person present is Section Chief Shimizu.

"But how much does this cost? Will this exceed the budget?"

"It doesn't matter. Just follow along. Didn't Minister Sakai say that she would be in charge of the budget?"

Hiroki Shimizu is happy to watch the fun. He doesn't have to pay for it anyway. With Mina Sakai's financial strength, it would be no problem for her to spend a fortune to buy this izakaya.

But he was also very clear that Mina Sakai's power and status were not as high as before, otherwise she wouldn't care so much about the big projects she won during business trips and would do everything herself.

It seemed that she could no longer bear a second failure. She might fall into the abyss and there would be no recovery.

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity to get rid of this woman, and Hiroki Shimizu has been silently thinking about this possibility.

However, it is fraught with difficulties and cannot be accomplished simply by thinking about it.

Guang Guang just needs to rely on Erika's material support for the time being in order to heal her body.

In addition, the crazy woman Michiko Arisu was clinging to him like a sticky candy that couldn't be shaken off, and was watching him closely from the side.

If Mina Sakai is really doomed, then wouldn't it be like there is no tiger in the mountain, completely eliminating Mieko's worries and allowing her to roam on her own?

As a result, the ending that awaits Hiroki Shimizu is not optimistic either.

He was having a headache from thinking so much and really wanted to get drunk tonight.

As the group arrived at the door of the private room, Shimizu Hiroki, the section chief and the protagonist of the evening, was pushed to the main seat in the middle by everyone, and Shirohei Changichi immediately rushed to sit next to Shimizu Hiroki. The other side of the section chief was reserved for Director Sakai, so of course he didn't dare to sit there.

Minamikawa Yuna, who had fought her way out from a group of eager female colleagues, saw the seat that she was sure to get being snatched away. She glared at Cheng Ping Chang Yi angrily, then turned to look at the seat that was supposed to be reserved for Director Sakai.

Who knows? Maybe Mina Sakai won’t come tonight. The brave ones will be fed to death and the timid ones will starve to death!

There was a flash of determination in Minamikawa Yuna's eyes. She held her head high and chest out, fully displaying her beauty, and walked towards the empty seat on the other side of Shimizu Yuki.

However, the next second, everyone's horrified gazes fell on her, and the private room instantly fell into silence.

Minamikawa Yuna quickly realized that something was wrong and turned around in surprise. Only then did she see Mina Sakai who had been standing at the door at some point. Just as Shirohei Changyi had said, she was wearing such narrow and thin high heels, and there was no movement at all.

Fortunately, her purpose was not too obvious. After pretending to take a bottle of wine from the table, she had to walk back in despair, getting further and further away from the person she had been thinking about, Hiroki Shimizu.

"Nanchuan, you can just sit over there. There's no need to talk about too many rules. Our department has always only pursued efficiency."

"Ah? Well... well, then I'll listen to the Minister."

Mina Sakai stood there in disbelief, as if the surprise came too suddenly. She was immediately ecstatic, and the smile on her face became even brighter, causing the other female colleagues present to roll their eyes.

Hiroki Shimizu, who witnessed everything silently, also found it difficult to accept.

He looked at Mina Sakai with surprise, but got no response.

She just glanced at Shimizu Hiroki indifferently, and sat down gracefully in the seat opposite him, which further confirmed the speculation of everyone in the department that Section Chief Shimizu and Director Sakai had a bad relationship.

What is this woman trying to do?

Yuki Shimizu found it increasingly difficult to understand Mina Sakai. He felt extremely uncomfortable sitting in the soft, comfortable seat, as if sharp needles were pricking his flesh, constantly reminding him to stay alert.

As expected, once Mina Sakai entered, the good atmosphere in the private room suddenly became cold. Everyone present felt uncomfortable, fearing that they would say something wrong. If they were scolded in such an occasion, it would be too embarrassing.

"Jirohira, you take the lead. Have you forgotten what we are here for today?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mina Sakai seemed lazy and relaxed, not thinking that the problem was with her.

After all, the cold expression on her face was always tense, and it was hard to tell whether she was in a good or bad mood.

"I understand."

Cheng Pingchang was the first to pick up the wine glass and put on a somewhat stiff smile, but he was in good spirits and shouted loudly for everyone to raise their glasses.

"Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity to celebrate our department's success in winning this major project! Of course, the reason we are sitting here is inseparable from the hard work and efforts of Director Sakai and Section Chief Shimizu. Let us also congratulate the two leaders..."

"cheers!!"

"cheers!!!"

"Cheers! Come on, let's have a drink."

Yuki Shimizu filled his glass again and drank a glass with Cheng Pingchang.

"Hey, Section Chief Shimizu, let's have a drink too."

Nanchuan Yuna, who was sitting nearby, interrupted with a smile on her face.

She deliberately glanced at Director Sakai, whose expression did not change much across the table, and lowered her voice deliberately, "By the way, you can also absorb the promotion spirit of Section Chief Shimizu. When this project is implemented, I'm afraid you will be promoted again..."

Faced with such an enthusiastic and motivated subordinate, it was difficult for Hiroki Shimizu to refuse and embarrass others, so he smiled and drank another glass.
