"What's so interesting about job postings?"
Although it was a bit strange, Jiang Qiu still sent the job posting to Mordred.
Mo Zai examined it closely, turning it over and over, and she actually found something that wasn't quite right—
[Working in a maid outfit with white or black stockings may result in a higher wage.]
In an instant, Mordred sensed the wolfish ambition hidden within.
"You're pretty creative, kid. You've even come up with a maid outfit."
"Wearing a maid outfit makes you look more professional. When we hired Victoria Housekeeping for our apartment before, they were dressed in standard maid outfits, and they looked quite nice."
"It is well known that looking at pleasing things is beneficial to longevity."
"Heh, if you really put on a maid outfit, you'd probably eat people alive."
Mordred clearly didn't believe his nonsense, but after glancing to the side again, she couldn't help but mutter—
"They applied for the same jobs, right? Does that mean Rin's salary will be significantly higher than Ahoge's when it comes to settling wages?"
Before Jiang Qiu could even speak, Artoria's ears perked up immediately upon hearing the noise.
Rin's salary is higher than mine?!
What the hell is going on?!
"Of course, she meets the requirements. She gets points every day, and then receives additional subsidies based on her points when the period expires."
Hearing Jiang Qiu's answer, Artoria frowned deeply.
Somewhat uncertainly, she took out her phone and looked through the job postings again.
It wasn't until she finally noticed that small supplementary note, and then glanced at her deskmate's usual black stockings and slender legs, that her gaze towards Rin Tohsaka became somewhat strange.
Knowing this guy as I do, she must have noticed this potential raise a long time ago!
The result hasn't been revealed yet, which clearly means they want to keep it all to themselves!
Its heart is awkward!
Rin Tohsaka also noticed the wary look in the other person's eyes and blinked somewhat inexplicably.
"what happened?"
"Rin, you wouldn't gradually cross certain lines just to make money, would you?"
"Huh? How is that possible!"
"Then how do you interpret this message?"
When Artoria presented the notice to Rin Tohsaka, Rin's expression remained unchanged.
You could even say that his composure was somewhat unusual.
"You're overthinking it. It's just a coincidence. I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't told me."
"You know I usually like to wear stockings, I never expected this surprise."
"Was it really just an accident?"
Artoria stared at Rin Tohsaka with suspicion, trying to detect any signs of guilt in her.
Chapter 109, Section 110: Rin Tohsaka: This is a necessary sacrifice to save the family business.
"I, Rin Tohsaka, have always been upright and honest. Would I lie to you?"
Rin Tohsaka replied to Artoria with an upright and righteous air, showing no sign of guilt or hesitation.
Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?
Just a coincidence?
Artoria had some doubts, but her suspicions had clearly lessened considerably.
However, looking at the precautions, she could feel a wicked thought that shouldn't have been there stirring within her.
No, once a person crosses the line, it's incredibly difficult to regain control.
Artoria shook her head, suppressing the evil thoughts in her heart.
Rin Tohsaka, who was standing to the side, glanced at her and then secretly started looking through the information she had consulted with Mei-ling Hong the night before.
After confirming repeatedly that wearing black or white stockings would double her salary, her tense heart was immediately soothed like never before.
However, after thinking for a moment, adhering to the principle of "since I've already asked, I might as well find out everything", she inquired about how much the price of maid outfits could increase.
Not long after, Hong Meiling sent over a bunch of photos of different styles of maid outfits, leaving Tohsaka Rin stunned.
"Meiling, you actually bought so much?"
"No, these are all my family members' clothes. Hers are almost all maid outfits."
"I was thinking of borrowing a couple of clothes because I was hoping for a raise, but they were all too small. I accidentally angered them and got kicked out of the house for a whole week."
"I've sent you all the different styles, with the prices and price increases listed. You can choose whichever you like."
""
Rin Tohsaka's eyes twitched as she looked at the maid outfits, which in some ways seemed rather pathetic, and she felt as if she herself had been included in the mockery.
Damn it, saving on fabric costs is at least an advantage!
As she gritted her teeth and flipped through the photos, all her resentment was quickly soothed by the warm numbers.
One-third, half a percent, one time, three times
Rin Tohsaka suddenly felt that her bottom line could be adjusted flexibly at times.
I'm sorry, Artoria, this was a necessary sacrifice to save the Tohsaka family.
I'm not greedy, but those that are too short are ultimately too far from the bottom line, and accidents are bound to happen.
I'll just pick a standard model and make 100% profit.
After making up her mind, Rin Tohsaka quickly placed an online order, fearing that she would lose a large sum of her salary if she ordered it all.
After everything was settled, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to ask Hong Meiling a question—
"Meiling, don't you want to buy yourself something to wear?"
"I've thought about it, but it's a bit of a hassle to wear."
"Besides, I don't have any places where I need to spend a lot of money. Being a doorman is just a pastime of being kicked out. It's not as practical as a white tank top and shorts. One set is all I need."
Seeing the other party's nonchalant reply, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but picture the other party dressed simply, sitting with his legs crossed, eating sunflower seeds, and living a life of leisure in retirement.
Was this guy from a very wealthy family?
Am I the only truly poor person in the entire apartment?!
Thinking of this, Rin Tohsaka felt utterly listless and dejected.
Saving our family business is a long and arduous task.
Just as she was calculating how long she would have to work to save the villa, Hong Meiling, who had just sent a message, seemed to notice something was wrong and looked at the car that had just driven past the apartment entrance with some confusion.
If I remember correctly, this car has passed by six times since just now, hasn't it?
Are these scoundrels scouting the place?!
Hong Meiling's eyes became wary, and she grabbed her phone, preparing to dial the Imperial Guard Bureau's number.
Although I came here to work and relax, I haven't forgotten my job responsibilities.
Any petty scoundrels will be dealt with decisively!
But the car actually came to a stop on the side of the road after completing its final circle.
Chen Huijie, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask in the driver's seat, was scratching the steering wheel in frustration.
What the hell am I doing?!
Although the nightmare was a bit absurd and outrageous, it was just a dream after all. Why did I subconsciously find Jiang Qiu's address?
If Char Siu Cat saw this, he might end up being seen as the one trying to steal someone else's partner!
Is it really necessary to see a psychologist?
Chen Huijie sighed helplessly. Just as she closed her eyes to rest for a while, some overly vivid images inevitably flooded into her mind.
Before she could recover, her lower abdomen twitched violently, startling her so much that she opened her eyes, her face flushed.
I must have been out of my mind; I even cooperated in my dream.
Shaking her head to suppress her distracting thoughts, Chen Huijie immediately restarted the car and drove to the address provided by Kal'tsit.
However, shortly after she left, another luxury van circled the apartment several times under Hong Meiling's subtle gaze.
After hesitating for a moment, she decisively sent a message to Jiang Qiu—
"Young boss, have you offended someone? There have been two cars loitering around your house all day."
"One of the cars looked quite luxurious. It didn't seem like they were there to scout the place, but rather to settle scores with someone."
""
On the other side, Jiang Qiu guessed the identity of the newcomer almost immediately, and her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Damn, they came knocking on our door even faster than I expected.
Did they come over to ask anything?
"No, the car just swayed around a few times and then left. I didn't see anyone."
"That's good. They're all acquaintances of the Guard Bureau. Next time they come, just invite them in as guests."
"If they ask any strange questions, please let me know first."
"learn!"
Although Hong Meiling had some doubts, she still agreed.
She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she didn't ask any further questions.
As for just watching the drama unfold, we'll find out when the parties involved come to us. Asking questions now might just risk getting us shut down.
Just as Hong Meiling put down her phone, intending to see if a third car would appear, Chen Huijie on the other side finally arrived at her destination.
Looking at the exquisitely decorated and cozy detached villa in front of him, Inspector Chen was completely stunned.
She thought the destination would be an office building or a hospital, but it turned out to be a consultation room in her own home.
After confirming the address was correct several times, she went up and rang the doorbell of the villa.
Under Chen Huijie's subtle gaze, Kal'tsit's figure appeared at the doorway.
Chapter 110, 111. Komeiji Satoru: I suppose something happened to your friend, and it affected you, right?
"Why are you here?"
"Some of my colleagues are not in a good mental state, so I brought them here to get some information about their situation."
Kai Li Yi Si Ling (4) Er Wo Er Xi explained calmly, and helped Chen Hui Jie open the door.
Chen Huijie stared at the guy with some suspicion, feeling that he had come here specifically to watch the drama unfold after learning about her situation.
But when Kal'tsit led her into the villa and she actually saw the people from Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, her doubts subsided.
Especially that white-haired, red-eyed, pointed-eared Sarkaz, I've seen her cause trouble at the company and hospital quite a few times, and the Guard Bureau has been sent over to mediate several times.
And now this guy is tightly bound like a dumpling and left on the living room floor.
With her was a large cat that looked listless and smelled of alcohol.
Chen Huijie knows this guy well too; he's the one who's caught the most drunk drivers.
"What trouble have those two gotten themselves into this time?"
"Last night, he broke into the company database and stole files. He also colluded with a Sarkaz to sell information and related items to other colleagues, while also spreading some outrageous rumors about me."
"The other one is still at large and hasn't been caught yet. I gave the other two a beating and then brought them over to check their mental state."
"If we could issue a list, then if they commit another offense, we could skip a bunch of procedures and just lock them up in a room and whip them."
Kal'tsit explained expressionlessly, but judging from the bulging veins on her forehead, the situation was clearly more serious than she described.
