Chapter 304 66 My name is
Chapter 304 66. My name is
The arrival of Haruko Arasaka was naturally the most eye-catching point in the entire banquet. Many people who were already halfway through their meal stopped what they were doing, put their plates aside, wiped their hands on the towels handed over by the waiters, put them against their sides, bent their waists and heads, and expressed their deep respect to the newcomer.
In Arasaka, there is an implicit rule that the inferiors must unconditionally obey the superiors and show due respect to them. Now in the entire American continent, there is only one person in Arasaka company whose status is higher than Haruko Arasaka. Now that that person is gone, naturally all Arasaka employees have to show due respect and obedience for Haruko's arrival.
As everyone was bending down one after another, and it seemed that everyone was about to bow, Haruko stopped their unnecessary movements.
She raised her right hand slightly, pretending to raise it to indicate that it was not necessary, and then said to everyone in the banquet hall: "We won't talk about this today. Please enjoy this rare relaxing time."
"Yes!"
Amid the unanimous responses, Carl noticed V out of the corner of his eye.
This guy, taking advantage of others bowing, actually took an extra piece of steak and was chewing it happily.
So you really come here to eat, right? I want to eat too!
As the saying goes, it is better to work when you are well fed and satisfied. You are working when you are well fed and satisfied.
While Carl was watching V, many Arasaka executives, familiar or unfamiliar to him, approached Haruko. They stood outside the cordon drawn by Chiyome's vigilant gaze and spoke to Haruko humbly.
Haruko faced them with a smile and answered their requests in an orderly manner, either expressing loyalty or seeking support.
The banquet really began after Haruko showed up. As the top executives gathered around Haruko, their family members who came with them also started chatting with each other.
Banquets are the best places to strengthen relationships with each other. Family business deals, factional struggles within the company, and children's marriages are all negotiated during these times.
It is true that today is a party for rest, but who says that a party for rest cannot be a step further for the future?
Those who don't even take advantage of such a good opportunity when there are so many big shots around, and only focus on eating and drinking, are no different from fools. Such guys are destined to be eliminated.
The trend of involution is from top to bottom. Compared with the involution within Arasaka Academy, the involution within Arasaka Corporation is simply not worth mentioning.
Many people cast secret contemptuous glances at V when they passed by him. In their opinion, the captain of the second team of this action team was just a brainless guy. At such a time, he did not serve them humbly, but was eating and drinking over there. This guy was not worth their attention at all.
Anyway, the next time I see him, he will definitely be a different person.
As the partygoers chatted, Carl, standing, had already made up his mind.
He didn't need to eat during the slow time. He just needed to unbutton the lower part of his helmet, then get some food from the servants passing by and stuff it in from the bottom. It didn't take any time or effort.
'You eat, and I eat too.'
With this in mind, Carl set his sights on a waiter who would pass by him carrying slices of Italian sausage. He planned to start with the smaller slices to taste them first.
Just as his gaze was slowly shifting towards the servant, his view was blocked by a person walking in front of him, and the servant chose to take a detour because there was an extra person in front of Carl.
'Sausage slices!'
Amid Carl's inner wailing, he noticed the person walking towards him, and when he saw this person, he felt the corner of his mouth twitch.
'No, why did she come over?'
The man who blocked the servant's way and walked towards Carl was a good friend that Carl met in the academy.
The blue-haired girl walked in front of Carl. Because of her height, she needed to raise her head slightly to look at Carl's helmet. As she looked at him, her brows slowly frowned.
"Not good." When Carl felt that something was wrong, the blue-haired girl spoke, and the name she called out was: "Gaius?"
"Do not."
After she finished saying this, her tightly furrowed brows loosened, she showed an understanding expression, and smiled very happily at Karl: “It should be Karl.”
"Keep your voice down!"
Although Carl didn't know how his friend recognized him, he had no intention of lying to his friend. He just panicked and lowered his voice to remind the blue-haired girl, signaling her not to let others hear it.
Listening to Karl's voice, which was no longer changed by the 'Behavioral Characteristics Synchronization Template' and was somewhat strange yet familiar, the blue-haired girl smiled even brighter: "I didn't expect it was really you, what a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence indeed. I'd rather say that your sensitivity is as sharp as ever. Back in the academy, you knew I was leaving before I even told you. And now, even when I'm wearing a helmet and combat uniform, you can still recognize me."
Carl complained, tapped his helmet with his hand, and then gestured to the side: "Stand over there, grab a cup, pretend to be drinking in the corner and don't want to talk to others. Your conversation with me like this will more or less attract people's attention."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
The blue-haired girl nodded, turned around and looked for the waiter who was carrying drinks. After a while, the waiter came back with a glass of refreshing watermelon juice.
Leaning against the wall next to Karl, the blue-haired girl stared at the front, holding up the goblet, looking like she was drinking juice, but her lips moved slightly, asking Karl:
"We haven't seen each other for three months since you left school. How have you been recently? Are you here to complete a mission today?"
"I'm just so-so, I can't say it's particularly good, after all, it's not as good as you attending banquets and eating and drinking, but it's not bad, I guess I haven't wasted these days. As for missions, I am indeed doing them, but you know, I can't say it openly, after all, I have some credibility."
"Is that so?"
The azure-haired girl put her cup down and tilted her head, "I've heard your name now."
"Oh, you finally got it, so what? I do have a great reputation, right? I told you that you were ignorant at first."
"You're just a mercenary back then."
"You are already very famous, but you are ignorant."
"Then consider me ignorant."
The blue-haired girl didn't care. She took a sip of watermelon juice and turned to Carl:
"So, now, can we officially get to know each other, Gaius?"
Karl naturally understood the meaning of this sentence.
He turned his head and nodded: "Of course, let me introduce myself. My name is Karl, Karl with the last name Karl."
"first meet."
The blue-haired girl chuckled and gave her name:
"My name is Maki, Takemura Maki."
