"What are you doing, Toga? Did you not give me all the information? That guy actually jumped into the river to escape!"

Yang Xiao was looking at some documents when a loud voice came from Toga Himiko's earphones, clearly Kagura venting.

Toga Himiko took off her earphones and threw them on the ground, saying, "I don't want to do this anymore!"

Yang Xiao's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately stood up and grabbed Toga Himiko, "What are you doing, my little ancestor? What's wrong now?"

"She's yelling at me, and I don't want to do this anymore. It's so tiring every day. I want an easy job," Toga Himiko said, her eyes red like a little girl's.

Yang Xiao rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment, and then looked at Toga Himiko, "Calm down. The work here is already very easy. As long as the reports are accurate, there won't be any problems, and the pay is high. Where else can you find such treatment?"

"But I don't like it when people yell at me," Toga Himiko said indignantly.

"See, I didn't say anything when you yelled at me. My dear little ancestor, just put your heart into it. It's hard to get into the core of this Problem Solver and even harder to get out. Just bear with it. Or, I'll ask Gin-san to get you a couple more drinks later, and I'll pay for them?" Yang Xiao said this to appease Toga Himiko.

Toga Himiko actually felt a little happy upon hearing this. She could get drinks, so she decided to endure it!

So, Toga Himiko silently returned to her seat and began to admit her mistakes to Kagura. Failing a job was quite common, and Kagura didn't always show her true face, often disguising herself.

The next time she found the same person to target, Kagura would use a different disguise. Although the target might notice, there was nothing that could be done.

Finally, Kagura calmed down. After all, Toga Himiko was new, and she couldn't be too harsh. Newcomers needed to go through trials to become more mature.

At this moment, Tae Shimura had entered the elevator. The camera inside the elevator was pointed at her, and on the other end of the camera, a greasy middle-aged man with a potbelly was staring intently at Tae Shimura on the screen, unconsciously drooling.

"What a stunner. I've been with quite a few women, but this one is much better than the previous ones. I've really hit the jackpot this time!"

Sitting in front of the computer was none other than Tanigawa Rō. After staring at Tae Shimura for a while, he got up to prepare to greet her. He planned to "handle" this beauty today.

When Tae Shimura reached the fifteenth floor and the elevator door opened, she saw a middle-aged man with a big belly. According to Yang Xiao's previous description, this guy was the Vice President of Xin Yi Company, Tanigawa Rō.

"Hahaha, you must be Miss Tsukiko, right? A pleasure to meet you, a pleasure." Tanigawa Rō extended a hand, intending to shake Tae Shimura's hand.

Tae Shimura smiled calmly and extended her hand to shake his. However, Tanigawa Rō wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He held Tae Shimura's hand and refused to let go, even caressing it back and forth.

Tae Shimura wanted to kill this guy at that moment, but she held back. "A moment of impatience can spoil a great plan."

"Heh heh, Mr. Tan, could we find a place to sit and talk?" Tae Shimura put on an awkward smile. At this moment, Tanigawa Rō realized he had been a bit too hasty. He quickly retracted his hand and said, "Haha, come with me."

Tae Shimura followed Tanigawa Rō to door B05. Tanigawa Rō looked at Tae Shimura and said, "Miss Tsukiko, please come in."

Tae Shimura frowned, but it was only a fleeting expression. She smiled and looked at Tanigawa Rō, asking, "Mr. Tan, shouldn't it be room 01?"

"Oh, that room isn't clean. I have someone cleaning it. Let's talk about the specific cooperation here first." The excitement in Tanigawa Rō's eyes was undeniable, and Tae Shimura saw it all.

Just then, Tae Shimura remembered what Yang Xiao had told her earlier. Her eyes lit up, and she pretended to cough, "Cough... cough cough..."

"Miss Tsukiko, are you alright?" Tanigawa Rō saw Tae Shimura suddenly cough and immediately came behind her, patting her back as if to help her stop coughing.

"Cough, ptooey!" A mouthful of phlegm was directly spat out from the beautiful Tae Shimura's mouth, landing on the red carpet in front of the door, looking so abrupt and ungraceful.

Tanigawa Rō's mouth twitched. He suddenly felt a bit disgusted. How could such a beautiful woman do such an ungraceful thing? But, Miss Tsukiko was still too beautiful. So what if she spat out some phlegm?

Do beautiful people not poop? Do they not spit phlegm?

She's not some kind of fairy!

"Uh... Miss Tsukiko, I'll have someone clean it up. You go in first." Tanigawa Rō had OCD. He wouldn't feel comfortable unless someone cleaned up that blob of phlegm.

Tae Shimura wasn't foolish. She directly linked her arm with Tanigawa Rō's and said, "Let's go in first. It's fine to clean this up later."

Tanigawa Rō's eyes lit up. Heh heh, it seemed this little lady understood the purpose of her visit today and was quite cooperative. In that case, he would "handle" her first.

With an excited heart, Tanigawa Rō and Tae Shimura entered room 05. Tanigawa Rō closed the door tightly and immediately began to explore Tae Shimura from head to toe.

At this moment, Tae Shimura pushed Tanigawa Rō away and said with some anger, "Mr. Tan, we haven't discussed our business yet. Aren't you being a bit too hasty?"

"So that's how it is..." Tanigawa Rō gave a dry smile and said politely, "Miss Tsukiko, please sit down. We'll discuss the next steps properly."

Shinpachi Shimura had also arrived downstairs at Xin Yi Company, but he was currently disguised as a delivery man, carrying a Sinbok bag, which indeed contained Sinbok.

"Hello, excuse me, how do I get to the fifteenth floor?" Shinpachi Shimura asked the female receptionist with a smile, his expression very excited.

The female receptionist knew why Shinpachi Shimura was so excited. It was because she was so good-looking. All the delivery people who came here treated her the same way, so she was used to it.

"It's over there... Hey, wait a minute, you're going to the fifteenth floor?" The female receptionist only then realized that the Vice President was on the fifteenth floor, and there shouldn't be any food deliveries at this time.

Shinpachi Shimura frowned slightly. Had he been exposed?

"Oh, it's Sinbok. You can go up then, I'll swipe your card for you." The female receptionist had initially wanted to stop Shinpachi Shimura and question him, but upon seeing that he was delivering Sinbok, she dismissed her suspicions. After all, the Vice President drank Sinbok every day, but at unpredictable times.

Perhaps the Vice President and that beautiful woman were having a heated discussion and needed some Sinbok to spice things up?

"Thank you." Shinpachi Shimura breathed a sigh of relief. After getting into the elevator, the female receptionist confidently operated the controls, setting his destination to the fifteenth floor.

People who come to Xin Yi Company generally cannot use the elevator themselves; they need to swipe their cards, unless the female receptionist operates it to reach the designated floor.
