After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 6 6. Do I have the habit of arriving early?
Standing in front of the office with the nameplate of the section chief's office for a moment, Yuanye Si knocked lightly a few times.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in." A few seconds later, a cold voice came from the closed office, like a glacier.

As I pushed the door open, a faint fragrance of orchids rushed into my nose. The layout of the office was very simple, with no words hanging on the walls. There were only a few pots of delicate green orchids placed on the window frames and a vertical mahogany coat rack.

Behind the desk a few meters away, there was a woman with a bun in a black suit sitting in an office chair, holding a few reports in her hands and looking down at them.

"Good morning, Section Chief." Harano Tsukasa greeted him and then stood there waiting for his reply.

The woman remained silent and made no move to look up.

It seems that the person who came in just now was not her.

Completely ignored Harano Tsukasa who was in the office.

This beautiful woman with a bun-haired look and a cold aura that keeps strangers away is the head of the Health and Welfare Division of the Bunkyo Ward Office, Suzumiya Saka.

In such silence, Yuanye Si closed the door and stood there quietly observing the other person.

Her dark and shiny hair was tied up at the back of her head with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of her forehead. Her alluring rosy lips were just the right size, and a hint of whiteness was faintly visible at the slightly open collar of her white shirt, which made one want to lie on the ceiling and look down to see what was going on.

And the desk is hollow in the middle.

From Harano Tsukasa's position, he could just see the other person's two slender legs tightly wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and placed together. The red-soled high heels on her feet added a bit of royal sister aura, making people unable to stop.

If it weren't for his strange temper and the fact that he kept strangers away, and if he didn't have so many precedents of scolding and punishing his subordinates, there would probably be a lot of people who had a crush on this section chief.

Ruthless and cold-hearted.

This is the common impression among colleagues.

As a general administrative staff member, Yuanye Si had little contact with his immediate superior's superior, almost none at all. He only saw him occasionally during get off work hours. This was the first time he was called to the office.

He called out the wish list, ready to see what this icy boss's inner wishes were, but when he actually saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

[Wish object: Suzumiya Saka]

[The wish list is as follows]

[1. I’m almost years old, why haven’t I met my true love yet? I really want to have a child (Purple)]

[2. Last night's plot was really interesting. If such a plot could happen to me, I would be excited just thinking about it. I would even be willing to do something more extreme (blue)]

[3. This job is so boring. I don’t even have a single subordinate who dares to resist me. They are all trash (blue)]

When Harano Tsukasa saw Suzumiya Saka's wish list, he secretly said in his heart, "Wow!" This completely overturned his preconceived notion of his boss. He stood there staring for a full half minute before he came to his senses and reacted.

"Want to have a child?"

This desire seems relatively normal.

Normally speaking, it is not a wish.

After all, in Japan, women get married early. Some get married in their teens without continuing to go to college. Even those who marry and have children late rarely remain unmarried before the age of 30.

Especially for sentimental women, when they see their friends have children, they can't help but feel an overflow of maternal love.

The reason why he was included in the wish list is probably because this iceberg boss has a weird temper and is difficult to get along with. Not to mention falling in love and getting married, few men would dare to get in touch with such a cold person.

But the remaining two...

Expect to be beaten by a man in the office.

Was it the kind with a whip and candles?

"In addition to liking to watch local action movies, she actually thinks it's boring if her subordinates don't resist. It turns out she likes the underdog to overthrow the superior, right? It's easy to help her achieve this."

Yuanye Si digested the information and looked at the cold woman who was sitting with her feet up behind the desk and still looking down at documents. His mind became active. Although there was a certain risk, he didn't care about this job.

Another minute passed.

The sound of the pen closing was crisp.

The woman with bun-haired hair who was originally bending over the desk looking at documents raised her chin and looked at him who was standing right in front of her.

"Why were you late yesterday afternoon?" The voice was like a solid glacier that even sunlight could not melt.

After being left out for five minutes, Harano Tsukasa was not too angry, because he knew that this level of criticism was normal in the Japanese workplace. Instead, he patiently tried to explain: "Section Chief, yesterday I was..."

"I was asking you why you were late. I didn't ask you anything else!" The cold voice came into his ears along with a lot of flying documents.

The documents were thrown at him.

All of them fell on Yuanye Si.

It was obvious that the temper of this icy female boss that was spread throughout the district office was not fake.

Suzumiya Saka had a blank expression on her face. She didn't seem to think her actions were excessive at all. She just stared at him and asked again: "Why are you late?"

Yuanye Si's expression gradually calmed down.

He glanced at the papers scattered on the ground, and the thought of explaining completely disappeared.

He hadn't intended to do anything rude.

After all, I'm not sure what kind of person she is.

Yuanye Si's moral bottom line is flexible, but he is not so intolerant of even a little temper from a diligent and fair and balanced boss.

If Suzumiya Sasaka listened to his explanation.

Or planning to investigate.

Then Yuanye Si would not have no bottom line for the reward on the wish list. He would tell others on the spot that he wants to have a child or play a little game with a whip. Although the bottom line is flexible, it is not really without bottom.

But reality told him that this indiscriminate female boss was probably not a good woman.

After all, what good woman wants to be beaten?

He didn't care about the pressure from his female boss. Instead, he walked forward without changing his expression, pulled open the chair opposite Suzumiya Saka and sat down, smiling, "Do I have the habit of arriving early?"

His expression was so natural when he said this, so natural that it sounded like a joke between friends.

After hearing these completely provocative words coming from Harano Tsukasa's mouth, and seeing that he pulled out a chair and sat down without taking her seriously at all, Suzumiya Saka's originally calm eyes showed a hint of astonishment, but she reacted in an instant, and while her brain was calm, there was a different meaning in her eyes.

Looking at Harano Tsukasa's face, Suzumiya Saka was curious about how this young man dared to talk back to her.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but her beautiful face remained expressionless. She asked in a cold tone, "General Administrative Staff Director Yuanye Si, pay attention to your behavior. Do you know what you are doing?"

There was no outburst of rage as imagined.

There was no shock at all. Instead, there seemed to be some curiosity in the surprise. Yuanye Si, who caught these emotions, had already understood in his heart.

"I know." Yuan Ye Si sat in his office chair with a normal expression and continued, "But the section chief might as well find out the real situation, such as checking the time node of the clock-in machine before holding me accountable."

"So you're right?"

“I didn’t violate the regulations.”

"But as a subordinate, if you openly contradict your superior, do you still have respect for the system and your predecessors?"

The superior takes credit for the subordinate's work.

The boss's fault is the subordinate's responsibility.

In a workplace atmosphere where seniority is the basis and superiors have absolute authority, subordinates are not allowed to argue even if they are not wrong and must obey their superiors' orders and teachings. If Hara no Tsukasa was still a corporate slave, even if he was not comfortable with it as he had been exposed to Eastern culture since childhood, he would have to bow his head for survival.

But he doesn't need to do that now.

Harano Tsukasa looked at Suzumiya Sasaka with a normal expression and said, "Rather than accepting a meaningless and unfair reprimand from a superior, I would rather resign."

"Okay." Suzumiya Saka looked at him.

At this point in the conversation, Yuanye Si didn't hesitate to pick up the pen on the desk.

By the way, I also took out a blank paper.

He wrote his resignation letter in a very eloquent manner on a blank piece of paper with a fountain pen. After putting the pen cap on, he pushed the brand new resignation letter and the pen over.

"Please approve."

"I don't approve."

Gave an unexpected answer. Suzumiya Saka's rosy lips curled up slightly, and she looked Harano Tsukasa up and down, as if she had gotten to know him all over again.

She tapped the desk with her slender white fingers, then bent slightly, opened the drawer and started rummaging through it.

Twenty seconds later, Suzumiya Saka pulled out a thick stack of documents from the drawer, slid her finger down the directory on the first page, and pulled out one of the bound pages. Without caring about Harano Tsukasa's reaction, she opened her red lips and began to read:
"Harano Tsukasa, 24 years old, from Kitatusuru County, Yamanashi Prefecture, graduated from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, passed the Tokyo Local Civil Service Examination on April 8th of the previous year and started working at Bunkyo Ward Office. It has been just over two years so far, and he has not been absent from work, but has been late twice. He has not received any employee awards, and has not received any penalties."

"Excuse me, is there a problem?" Yuan Ye Si crossed his arms, somewhat curious about what she was going to do.

"You have just graduated for two years, and your social experience seems to be insufficient. Haven't these two years of work experience taught you the consequences of offending your superiors?"

Suzumiya Saka picked up the cup beside her and took a sip of coffee, her beautiful eyes looking indifferent and calm.

"So what does the section chief want to do with me?"

Yuanye Si stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"In two days, you will be transferred to become a health and welfare consultant and conduct mobile publicity activities in the various town and district autonomous committees under Bunkyo Ward. If you refuse, I will report you to the Human Resources Management Division for dereliction of duty."

"Also, I won't approve your resignation. You can file a complaint with the Human Resources Management Division, the Metropolitan Government, or even the National Public Service Ethics Review Committee of the Personnel Authority. If you succeed, I will approve it. It doesn't matter if your boss blames you."

Suzumiya Saka closed the information and said with a playful look in her eyes: "Of course, you can quit your job, but it doesn't seem that easy to find another job, right?"

I have to say, this move of hers was quite ruthless.

First, they don't approve his resignation, and then they transfer him to the most difficult position, and if there is a vacancy, they will make things difficult for him.

This is the result of subordinates confronting their superiors.

But Harano Si can choose to resign forcibly.

After all, he is just a civil servant, not a criminal in prison, and no one can force him to be free in life. But a new problem arises: how to find the next job and live in Tokyo becomes an absolute problem.

Of course you need to do a background check when looking for a job in Japan.

Unless you work in a convenience store, or work as a laborer, or be willing to be a blue-collar worker in a factory.

If he were a normal person, even if he didn't have a long-term vision, he would know that the only solution was to submit to the tyranny of his female boss and beg for forgiveness, unless he didn't want to continue living in the city of Tokyo.

But this trick didn't work on Yuanye Si.

"Is this the Section Chief's threat?"

Harano Tsukasa asked without giving Suzumiya Saka a chance to answer. Instead, he stood up from the chair opposite her desk, walked around the desk and said slowly:
"This office is about 20 square meters, and the slanted window is not big enough for someone to get out. I am standing close to the door. If a woman has not been properly trained in self-defense, can you please guess, Section Chief Suzumiya, whether she can beat a man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Harano Tsukasa had already walked over to the still sitting Suzumiya Saka and stood next to her, looking down at her.

This threat made Suzumiya Sakae laugh.

She found it ridiculous that Harano Tsukasa was acting like a high school student bullying others out of spite, but she was also slightly excited by his resistance. Although it was ridiculous, it was interesting to have such things in life.

"You want to hit me?" A hint of sarcasm appeared on Suzumiya Saka's seductive lips, and she looked up at his face from the side.

"It may not be the kind of fight you think."

Harano Tsukasa answered with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Suzumiya Saka narrowed her beautiful eyes and stood up directly from the office chair. Her beautiful face was just a few inches away from Harano Tsukasa's face. She said softly with disdain in her heart and a slightly sarcastic expression: "If you dare, please do as you please."

She didn't think Yuan Ye Si would dare to do anything.

Although Japan has a high crime rate, most of the crimes are theft and online fraud. Cases of indiscriminate killing and intentional injury are extremely rare. Even the cases of ordinary perverts on the train are mostly girls deliberately trying to scam people.

If Yuan Ye Si really dared to hit him.

Then it's not just social death.

Imprisonment is inevitable, and he is a civil servant, which is an even more serious case of breaking the law knowingly.

It can be said that if Harano Tsukasa really did attack her, without her own revenge, the legal standards alone would be enough to ruin most of his life.

Although Harano Tsukasa still acted without regard for the consequences after being provoked by her, and she might really be hurt, Suzumiya Saka felt that having such a little episode in her boring life seemed quite interesting. Besides, she was not without hands and feet, and there were no sharp weapons around her, so at least she could definitely escape.

What's more, this kind of thing basically never happens.

Therefore, she was fearless and even watched with a sneer in her eyes what tricks he could play.

But the next moment.

The sneer on her face disappeared completely.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, she felt a big hand pinching her hips hard, and her body staggered uncontrollably and pressed against Yuan Ye Si's chest.

A wave of hot breath rushed towards me.

Suzumiya Saka's heart suddenly became flustered, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Harano Tsukasa in disbelief.
