In the speeding car, Lu Yin was explaining his past in an orderly manner - serving as the minister of bts, using the pseudonym Listening, setting up a temple, getting to know Kuriyama Yoshiko, etc.
Wei Nan, as his audience, although he could still maintain his composure on the surface, in his heart he had already said that today he knows what it means to be a hero.
"I did guess that the boss would have a legitimate social profession as a cover, but I didn't expect that it would be such a "legitimate profession" that goes against the sky..." Wei Nan thought to himself.
Outside the car window, night had quietly fallen. When the hour hand of the car clock was about to point to the number "7", Lu Yin ended his self-narration: "Okay, this is the whole story."
After half a minute of silence, Wei Nan said, "I roughly understand."
"Miss Kuriyama Yoshiko, the third daughter of the Kuriyama family, has longed for the position of the head of the family. Although she is the only daughter of Kuriyama Shinkei, the current family speaker, within the family, Miss Kuriyama is an out-and-out leader. She is a marginalized figure. The reason is, firstly, Miss Kuriyama’s gender, and secondly, her biological mother’s life experience is mediocre. These two points are very disadvantageous in Sakura County, which especially likes to pay attention to the theory of blood.”
"Miss Kuriyama also has two ambitious uncles, Kuriyama Kashio and Kuriyama Hatyo. Both of them are stumbling blocks on her way to control the family power. However, the former, as the deputy minister of the iOS Southeast Asia branch, should be in full swing at the moment. I was busy using all my thoughts on how to turn things around, so I didn’t need to think about dealing with him for the moment.”
"For the past twenty years since she was born, Miss Kuriyama has been living in a relatively depressed state. Ah, after all, Sakura County is already known for its high pressure in life, not to mention that she grew up in a place with a lot of messy chores. In the big family..."
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Ahem, don't include any personal information when paraphrasing my words. I remember that I haven't made similar comments before, right?"
"Oh, that's okay." Wei Nan shrugged and continued to explain his understanding: "When Miss Lishan was twenty-one, she left that cold home. Before she left, she borrowed the power of her family to help herself She was transferred to the bts headquarters and you and she got to know each other."
"Two years later, that is, now, you feel that your wings are full and your big plan can be accomplished, so you call on your minions to gather in Osaka and prepare to start an uprising soon..."
"Don't describe us as rebels or villains...forget it, what we are going to do in the near future does not seem to be a glorious act." Lu Yin shook his head and let Wei Nan position himself as a "minion".
Wei Nan concluded, generally consistent with what Lu Yin said. Looking at the bright lights outside the window, he asked: "So, we are on the way to the Cicada Pavilion now?"
In previous conversations with Lu Yin, Wei Nan already knew that Kuriyama Yoshiko had not lived in the Kuriyama family's residence for many years, but had set up a new family alone with her retainers. That mansion is called Chanlu, and it is the villa of the Lishan family.
"No, it's not that time yet. The place we are going to now is the Sakura County branch of bts, also known as the second branch."
"Isn't there only one ninth branch left in BTS? Where did this second branch come from?" Wei Nan was puzzled because this was inconsistent with the information Lu Yin had previously disclosed.
"Is it strange? There are branches numbered "Nine", so naturally there will be branches numbered two to eight in front of it." At the end, Lu Yin added: "There is no branch. That is the bts headquarters in Shanghai."
"Then you are very prestigious as the BTS minister. You manage so many people around the world. Why do you still say that your official position is a false position?"
Lu Yin laughed dryly, and his next words were expressed in a "human" way.

He said in a complicated tone: "Well... you will know later when you visit the second branch in person." "
…………
Wei Nan's doubt actually didn't last long. At seven o'clock in the evening, Izumi Yewu parked the car in front of a building.
(In Japan, ordinary residential buildings are generally divided into two types, one is apartment-style, that is, unit-style residences; the other is independent residential villas called "one-family houses", Japanese hiragana: いっこだて, Japanese katakana: イッコダテ)
Lu Yin and Wei Nan got out of the car one after another, while Izumi Yewu was about to drive the car into the garage.
"I said, this small villa in front of you, could it be the main building of the second branch of BTS?" Wei Nan pointed to the front, and his words were somewhat knowing.
"Remove the word "main" for me. All Ying County branches are here." Lu Yin dusted off the dust on his body and went to ring the doorbell first: "I sent them a message in the car. They all know about us. If you want to come, don’t be shy when meeting your colleagues from the second branch.”
The word "they" also appeared in the previous chapter, and now we all know that it refers to the members of the Second Branch.
Regarding Lu Yin's advice, Wei Nan responded this way: "Prudery? That won't happen."
Although Wei Nan has not been assigned many roles so far, judging from the limited descriptions, we can easily come to the conclusion that this guy has a bit of social badass.
"By the way, I'm not an employee of BTS, why do you call them colleagues?"
Lu Yin asked, "Guess what is the number of the Temple Bar?"
"...How much is it?"
"No. 8. And if you mark BTS headquarters, branch 8 and branch 9 on the map of Shanghai, you will find that the two branches are arranged on both sides of the headquarters, one on the left and one on the right. Their distance and orientation to the headquarters are completely symmetrical."
"...Do you habitually put a lot of thought into inexplicable places that others will never notice?"
"Wei Nan, even though we have only met not long ago, I have already begun to miss the time when we could only communicate through notes filled with code words."
The two young people's "brotherly and respectful" chat did not continue because after the doorbell rang, one person had already walked out of the villa, crossed the courtyard and opened the door.
The person who came here was a male, and his age was estimated to be in the subtle range of eighteen to twenty years old. He had an ordinary appearance, with a slightly baby face, and his height was the average height for people in Sakura County. Although he was wearing casual clothes at the moment, he had a strong student spirit. In addition, the young man was thin and looked at each other with Lu Yin and Wei Nan, who were both about 1.8 meters tall. He lost a lot in terms of aura. Big cut.
The young man introduced Lu Yin and Wei Nan through the door. At the same time, his eyes moved back and forth between the latter, and finally judged that Wei Nan, the older of the two, should be the leader of bts. In fairly good Chinese, he asked Wei Nan cautiously: "Excuse me, are you Minister Lu Yin?"
"I'm not, he is." Wei Nan turned his elbow towards Lu Yin beside him.
"すみません!"
This young man's reaction was too great. He said a loud "Smith Marseille" and bowed deeply, which startled both Lu Yin and Wei Nan. In desperation, he spoke his native language. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately switched to Chinese: "I'm really sorry! Your Excellency, Minister!"
Wei Nan lowered his voice: "Isn't this child one of your subordinates? Why does it seem like he has never seen you before?"
Lu Yin's whisper was equally inaudible:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"I basically don't come to Sakura County. I leave most of the affairs of the second branch to other people, and Izumi Yewu is one of them. This little brother and I don't know each other, which is normal."
"Oh, that's right."
Regardless of whether they know each other, the personnel changes in the second branch will still have to be handled by Lu Yin, the bts director. The Sakura County branch had very few members. Lu Yin recalled it for a while and had an impression of it: "Are you Miyazawa Yuyuki?"
(Zawa is pronounced [ze], which is a variant of "ze" and is used as the simplified character for "ze" in Japan)
"Hi! It's been two years and five months since I joined the Sakura County branch!"
"It's been more than two years, so your Chinese level has improved very quickly. I remember that when you first arrived, you still didn't know anything about Chinese. Now you just have a slight accent and your sentences are very coherent."
"Thank you for your praise! This is all the credit of Senior Duan!"
For some reason, Miyazawa Yuyuki's attitude towards Lu Yin was too submissive, causing him to reveal a very obvious "sense of strength" when he opened his mouth. Lu Yin didn't like to have this kind of frightening conversation with others, but at this moment he had no effective way to break away from Yuyuki Masamiyazawa's submissiveness: "Let me introduce to you, this is Wei Nan from the eighth branch of BTS .”
"Good evening! Senior Wei Nan!"
"Ah, how about you..."
"By the way, what is Duan Yilang doing now?" Lu Yin asked other people in the second branch.
"At this time, Senior Duan should usually be maintaining the equipment in the studio."
"knew."
The three of them stepped into the building. Although as the first county branch of bts, its size is really shabby, but judging from the interior furnishings, decoration and cleanliness, it is enough to show that the second branch is well managed by the members.
"Huh?"
Just after taking a quick look at the entrance and the corridor when entering the house, Wei Nan discovered something unusual: "Lu Yin, why do I feel that this second branch does not look like an office, but a residential house where people really live?"
Lu Yin put on his slippers and replied, "You are observing very carefully."
"It's not a matter of observation, but something like the breath of life. It really can't be faked, and it can't be ignored." Wei Nan also changed his shoes and entered.
"Well, you're right. Rather than treating BTS Branch 2 as a venue for official functions, it's better to treat it as an ordinary residence."
"What's the meaning?"
"Because there are only three employees in the Yingjun branch. From an economic point of view, no matter where we want to work, we can just work from home."
This statement puzzled Wei Nan: "...Then, which unlucky member's home is this, and you requisitioned it as a temporary hideout?"
Lu Yin deeply felt Wei Nan's lack of understanding: "This place is my property. All employees of the second branch have food and accommodation here and do not need to go home."
"Uh, could it be that...the company is my home and everyone loves it?"
"Roughly the same."
"You're a bit harsh in your squeeze." This kind of employment method, which capitalists called "experts", shocked Wei Nan to the point where he was speechless.
In a few words, the group of people had walked through the corridor and arrived in front of a closed Japanese sliding door.
"You don't understand the situation in the Second Branch." Lu Yin reached out to touch the door handle: "Even if they don't have this job, they are homeless people with nowhere to go."
After the words fell, Lu Yin opened the door.
