Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chapter 3626 Social Rules

Chi Feichi looked at Hayakawa Seiji and Kashima Yuichi who came in, took the two file bags next to the laptop, and put them on the side of the desk. "I still have work to do. You can sit anywhere and read these new employment agreements and supplementary confidentiality agreements. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If you have no questions, sign your names."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hayakawa Seiji and Kashima Yuichi came to the desk with serious faces and picked up the file bags with their names on them.

Chi Feichi returned his sight to the laptop in front of him and continued to edit the unfinished information. "There is black tea in the first drawer on the left side of the tea table cabinet. If you want to drink tea, boil water and make tea by yourself."

"Yes..."

The two responded. Kashima Yuichi glanced at the teacup Chi Feichi put on the table and found that there was not much tea left in the cup. He turned his head and looked at the position of the tea table and took the initiative to say, "Then I will go to boil water first."

Hayakawa Seiji saw that Chi Feichi was still focusing on the computer and did not disturb Chi Feichi. He smiled at Kashima Yuichi and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Kashima!"

Chi Feichi was writing new instructions for the Ark Intelligence Network. He just paid attention to the interaction between the two and quickly retracted his attention.

The Japanese workplace is very concerned about the level of position and seniority. At present, there are only three of them in this office. Kashima Yuichi has the lowest position. Whether it is Kashima Yuichi himself or Hayakawa Seiji, they will assume that Kashima Yuichi should do miscellaneous work such as making tea.

If it were somewhere else, and Yuichi Kashima became the person with the highest position, then Yuichi Kashima would also tacitly accept that people with lower positions need to help him pour a cup of tea or deliver a document, and people with lower positions would also consciously take responsibility for these tasks.

Of course, employees with lower positions can also choose not to do these chores. As long as the boss is not a calculative boss who likes to show off his power, he will not force his employees to do so. However, in this case, the employees will be regarded as inflexible and unmotivated, and will not be valued by their superiors, and will also become an outsider in the eyes of their colleagues.

This is the discipline of employees in the Japanese workplace. Whether in large conglomerates, small companies, or even government agencies such as the Metropolitan Police Department and the Financial Services Agency, there is such a trend. When there is such a trend anywhere in society, it will also become a "social rule". People who do not abide by it will not be able to integrate into society well and become monsters and losers in the eyes of everyone.

Most people will be influenced by the environment and actively accept this set of rules as long as they enter the workplace for a period of time. Some people are even familiar with this set of rules on campus.

In the years since they entered the workplace, Hayakawa Seiji and Kashima Yuichi have become followers of this set of rules. In other words, if they do not follow these rules, no matter how capable they are, they will not be promoted so quickly.

When Kashima Yuichi suggested that he boil water to make tea, Hayakawa Seiji readily accepted the proposal. He was not bullying people with lower positions than him, but rather obeying social rules. If Hayakawa Seiji said to Kashima Yuichi, "No need" or "I don't need you to make tea", Kashima Yuichi would probably worry whether his superiors misunderstood him or were not satisfied with him.

He was the same.

Although he was indifferent to this set of rules, he did not have much contact with the two people, so he still followed the traditional rules to prevent the two people from having wild thoughts.

It doesn't matter whether he makes tea or not, just make it easier for him.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

The mobile phone on the desk vibrated, and the screen that lit up showed the incoming call page.

Chi Feichi looked at the number on the incoming call page of his mobile phone, typed the command on the computer with his left hand, picked up the phone with his right hand and answered the call, "Teacher?... No, I'm at the company... That's right, Umbrella Tokyo headquarters..."

"Did you go to work at the company so early?" Maori Kogoro was a little surprised.

"It's 9:10 in the morning, it's not early anymore." Chi Feichi reminded.

Maori Kogoro was embarrassed, "That's right..."

"You asked me if I was at home, do you have something to talk to me about?" Chi Feichi asked.

"This is what happened," Maori Kogoro started talking about business, his tone more serious, "About twenty minutes ago, Mr. Dengchuan, Mr. Tianyuan Riichi's apprentice, called Maori Detective Agency and said that Mr. Tianyuan killed his wife and asked me to help Mr. Tianyuan. After I persuaded them to call the police, I immediately rushed to Mr. Tianyuan's house with Xiaolan and Conan. Mr. Tianyuan's wife was indeed killed. Now we have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department with the police. I called you to ask if you want to go with us to check the situation..."

"I have work on hand now," Chi Feichi said, "If the police want to find someone to understand the situation, you should be able to go there, right?"

"It's enough for me to go there to help the police understand the situation," Maori Kogoro did not force it, "Since you are not free, I will take Xiaolan and the glasses kid there. I won't bother you for now. If you want to come to us later, you can call me again."

"I know."

The phone was hung up.

Chi Feichi put his phone back on the desk and continued to browse the information on the Ark Intelligence Network, taking note of the recent adjustments made by Chi Shinnosuke and Chi Kana to the intelligence department.

Kashima Yuichi boiled hot water to make tea, added tea to Chi Feichi, poured a cup of tea for Hayakawa Seiji, and then poured a cup of tea for himself. He sat on the sofa in the lounge with the cup in his hand, opened the file bag with his name on it, and looked through the agreement inside.

About ten minutes later, Chi Feichi estimated that Hayakawa Seiji and Kashima Yuichi should have finished reading the content of the agreement, locked the computer screen, got up and sat down in the lounge, and talked to the two about the work content and the key points of the agreement.

Umbrella has the Ark system to assist in office work, and there is not much information that needs to be recorded and processed by secretaries. Simply put, the Ark office system itself is equivalent to a secretarial team. Whether it is meeting records, itinerary arrangements, or sorting out materials, Ark can complete it with efficiency beyond humans.

But Ark alone is not enough. He also needs a human as the leader of this secretarial team to process relevant information in a more humane way to make him more relaxed.

In addition, there are some things that the Ark system cannot handle well at present, such as driving to pick up important guests on his behalf, sending something to the company or home on his behalf, and entering certain information into the Ark system on his behalf. These tasks all need people to do.

He asked Hayakawa Seiji and Kashima Yuichi to be secretaries because he wanted them to complete the human part of the work.

Hayakawa Seiji and Kashima Yuichi are both people who can use the Ark system proficiently. With the Ark, the two do not need to spend a lot of energy on work, so he also needs them to help him handle some personal affairs, such as helping him arrange the banquet when he is preparing to hold a private banquet, or helping him pick up some people.

These work contents are clearly written in the agreement, but Chi Feichi still mentioned it to the two in person.

And then...

"During the interview the day before yesterday, you all said that you are not afraid of reptiles such as snakes and are willing to contact pet snakes, right?" Chi Feichi confirmed with the two.

When Fei Chi heard Chi Fei Chi talking about his pet snake, he crawled out from Chi Fei Chi's collar, climbed on Chi Fei Chi's shoulder, and looked at the two of them spitting out their snake tongues.

Leave: I will take a day off tomorrow, and will resume updating the day after tomorrow.
