This was the third toast Shirley refused.
The male-female ratio among the members with code names in the organization is seriously imbalanced. Only one-fifth of the members present are women. In this kind of banquet with a heated atmosphere after drinking, two grown men really have nothing to talk about.
As a result, single women are very popular.
The organization does not allow coercive behavior in such formal occasions. The Supervision Department is not a showman. If it sees someone dragging someone away, it will definitely stop them. If it is serious, it is not impossible to go to the Supervision Department to reflect on the spot. No one in the organization dares to violate this iron law.
Then the hints in the party are very important. In order to facilitate everyone and provide some protection to the vulnerable groups, the organization gave a designated hint for this matter, which was a toast.
The wine is mixed with aphrodisiacs. When a member hands it to you with a wine glass, it means he wants to have sex with you. If you agree, just take it and drink it. This drug studied within the organization has no side effects. If you don't agree, just refuse. As long as he doesn't know who you are, the possibility of retaliation afterwards is almost zero.
This may be one of the reasons why masks are mandatory at organized parties.
Shirley is in this trouble. Being alone, she is the best prey in the eyes of this group of people. If there is no solution, a steady stream of people will come here to disturb her.
She had just returned to China, and no one she knew could serve as a shield for her. She even had no idea that she could go upstairs to rest early for this party.
The person who informed me only said that the party would be from 6 to 12 o'clock. After 12 o'clock, you could leave or go to the room provided by the organization to rest upstairs, but did not say that you could also go upstairs to stay during this period.
Often there are things that everyone defaults to that some people don’t know.
This is where Shirley suffered.
What caused her headache was that a person who almost caused her harm had already walked in front of her.
She had just returned to China and didn't know many people at all, but she happened to know the person in front of her.
Yu Lu, her immediate boss, once stayed in a base. He gave her a blow when they first met, which was the fundamental reason for her to move out of that base.
"The person who just left is an S-level member of the trading department. He is the second generation of the organization. His parents are in business to make money for the organization. He is also quite famous within the organization for being generous."
Yu Lu casually took a chair from the side and sat across from Shirley. He placed the wine glass on the table and his tone was as gentle as ever.
If he hadn't tricked her with such a gentle smile, Shirley would have believed that he was a good person in scientific research.
"Why, you can pretend not to recognize me if you don't put on the mask." Yu Lu smiled softly, a smile that made people feel chilly in their hearts, "I've been back home for so long, can't I still be so cute? .”
A complete threat. Shirley was sure, but she was also convinced of the threat, and said in a cold voice: "Is something wrong?"
Her attitude did not anger Yulu. On the contrary, Yulu seemed very proud of her concession, and there was more smile in her words. "I just saw an acquaintance and came to say hello. Don't be nervous. There are people from the Supervision Department in this large public. I don't dare to do anything to you in a place like this."
"But you are really powerful. In less than half a year, new progress has been made in the drug that has been shelved for more than ten years. It kills people invisible, and the people in the inspection department are happy to relax."
Sure enough, this person was here to annoy her.
Shirley frowned subconsciously. She was psychologically disgusted that the things she studied were used as a means of killing, but unfortunately, this was true.
Her subtle mood for a moment was well noticed by Yulu. He likes to suppress geniuses and also likes to watch a stunningly talented person swallow his anger in front of him. This makes his fixed life much more interesting.
Shirley didn't want to discuss with him that APTX4869 is not a poison. The more you care about something and want to argue, the more likely it will be caught and tainted by the other party. She calmly picked up the wine glass and wanted to learn how to "serve tea to guests".
People are already targeting her anyway, so there's no harm in offending her one more time.
The wine glass was stopped.
Another familiar person appeared.
"Is your nose just a decoration? Can't you smell anything?"
She had heard this before, and it was she who said it.
Kuroki Ren took the wine glass from Shirley's hand, which was not tightly grasped, and shook it slightly. Shirley was sitting on the edge, and the light was dim, so the drink was not obvious, but Kuroki Ren came from the light, and the position where he stood was a little brighter than where she was.
With a little light, Shirley could clearly see the unmelted particles hanging on the wall of the cup.
"The people who came upstairs today should really thank you for the great invention of the Scientific Research Department." Kuroki Jin smiled, but there was no warmth in his actions. He slowly poured the glass of wine at Yulu's feet.
"It's getting late." Yu Lu looked at the big watch in the center of the venue, "I should go upstairs."
Kuroki Ren watched Yulu leave with cold eyes, and then turned back to Shirley, who was staring blankly at a puddle of wine on the ground.
"From now on, don't let things out of your sight." Kuroki Ren put the empty wine glass back in its place, then looked at the water he poured on the ground with disgust, and took a chair to sit on. Shirley's other side.
Kuroki Ren didn't want to come, but he saw Yulu putting something into Shirley's cup from a long way away, but she didn't know she was going to drink it, so he rushed over to stop it with one step of his feet and one brain step.
After stopping him, you can't just turn around and leave. In other people's eyes, he will look like a lunatic. When he comes, he pours someone a glass of wine to drive them away and then leaves. What's that?
So he sat down and dropped the topic.
Kuroki Ren left in a hurry and did not bring any drinks or food. In addition, he was not allowed to bring anything inside the annual meeting. He could not even bring in the candy he made, which resulted in him not even having to change the subject. nothing.
Fortunately, this scene didn't last long, and someone came towards him with a topic.
"I'm hiding here for a while." Bourbon, who was walking in the distance, saw the water on the ground when he got closer. He hid for a moment and almost reached his waist.
"Turn right and bring me some sushi. Thank you."
Bourbon paused, resisting the urge to pour the glass of wine on Kuroki, and obediently turned right to get the sushi.
Shirley looked at Kuroki with doubtful eyes. Kuroki smiled and did not explain. Instead, he said: "Recommended by the logistics department, today's best, sushi platter."
When Bourbon came back, he put down the sushi in his hand and the wine glass he had picked up, moved a stool and sat diagonally opposite the black wood, with the three of them forming a triangle.
He heard what Kuroki Jin said just now, and reminded with a smile: "I took a look at the ordering and logistics department. There was too much sushi, but now it has almost been consumed."
Kuroki Jin's hand holding the sushi froze in place.
