Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 250: Work, Workers

My cheap uncle Uehara Kazuto hired more than one mercenary team. As a wealthy man with great financial resources, he hired many people to do things.

Thanks to the previous Okuto Manor incident, the Poker Organization is still somewhat famous in the Japanese mercenary circle. Generally speaking, no mercenary is willing to go against Poker.

But now it is a normal situation. Rich sponsors have paid a high price, so naturally there are many people who don’t mind trying out the poker cards.

An unnamed mercenary team of only five members was one of them, and they undertook the missions of exploration and harassment.

According to the mission report submitted by the peripheral members, this mercenary team planned to enter the Red J Hotel as guests, and then use the room service to kidnap a waiter, or the hotel manager, complete a short torture in the room, and obtain the specific location of Uehara Rui.

After completing the mission, the next step is the attack. There is nothing much to say about this matter. It is a fatal attack on all hotel employees who leave the hotel. The casualties are used to intimidate the hotel employees and force them to be rational, or to call the police.

In short, the goal is to prevent the Red Heart J Hotel from operating normally.

The plan of the unknown mercenary team was very simple, but if it weren't for the unusual situation at the Red J Hotel, they would have a high chance of success.

Fujiwara Masato admired the peripheral members who were able to complete the task. The one named Zhonghe Zhen was quite capable. He didn't care what method this guy used to complete the task. He only knew that the latter was very efficient and could save him trouble and worry.

"Boss, out of duty, I must remind you that this peripheral member may have some problems."

When Huangmao realized that the boss really admired Zhonghe, he quickly reminded him.

"This peripheral member is so efficient that I suspect his background is not so clean."

"I don't care about that. He can complete the task assigned by the organization. I don't care what method he uses. As for the issue of his unclean background..."

Fujiwara Masato thought about it and came up with a solution.

“How about this, for special talents like this, you put a star on his personal file, so that when I look at it, I can know the problem.

If there may be a problem, give it one star; if there is definitely a problem, give it two stars; if there is a big problem, give it three stars... The more stars, the more serious the uncleanliness."

"understood."

"How many stars would you give this Zhonghezhen?"

"one star."

Fujiwara Masato touched his chin and thought for a while, then he remembered a non-NPC cadre far away in Seoul, South Korea.

"I remember that Joe Shuel also had a problem. How many stars do you think he should have?"

"Three."

With the comparison, Fujiwara Masato quickly realized that there might be something wrong with Zhonghe Zhen, but it was not a big problem. As long as the core task was not given to him, there would be no problem.

In fact, there is no problem with Zhonghe Zhen. Some extremely important tasks are not his turn to perform. Fujiwara Masato has an NPC team under his command.

Well, when I think about it this way, it seems that there is no problem for Fujiwara Masato to use those special talents with stars on their files.

Selling out the secrets of the poker organization?

As long as the boss and the system are not exposed, everything else is not a real secret and will not be a problem.

Therefore, from Fujiwara Masato's perspective, Nakawa Shin is not a problem. As long as he works efficiently and sells some information about the poker organization to the boss behind the scenes, what's the problem?

"That's it. Zhong Hezhen follows the procedures and promotes him to a full member. He will receive the same salary and salary. If he is willing, continue to assign subsequent tasks to him. I want to see how capable he is."

……

When Nakahema was notified to go to the Red Heart J Hotel, he was a little overwhelmed and even wanted to run away.

What's the biggest problem with being a double agent?
Zhong Hezhen didn't know before, but now he has an answer... It's psychological pressure. Zhong Hezhen didn't know when he started to panic. He was afraid that his superiors would assign him unreasonable tasks, that the poker organization would find out about his true identity, that he wouldn't complete his tasks well enough, and even more afraid that he would complete them too well...

Pressure accumulates little by little.

Zhong Hezhen finally went to the Red Heart J Hotel.

When Zhong Hezhen, who was wearing ordinary casual clothes, appeared outside the gate of Red Heart J Hotel, he subconsciously looked up at the doorman at the door, who opened the door and spoke to him.

"Follow me sir, the ceremony site is this way."

"Ah...Oh, okay." Zhong Hezhen subconsciously followed the doorman to the hotel stairs, then went up to the third floor, and finally the two stopped in front of a meeting room.

"Go in, your belongings are inside."

As the doorman said this, he pushed the door open with force. Zhong Hezhen, who was standing behind, subconsciously looked up and looked inside, but he couldn't see anything clearly because the hotel windows were blocked by curtains and the ceiling lights were not turned on, and the conference room was dim.

Although the lighting conditions were not very good, Zhong Hezhen, who was standing outside the door, still vaguely felt that there seemed to be something in the conference room, and there was a lot of it.

But under the watchful eyes of the doorman, Zhonghe really didn't dare to turn around and leave. It would be fine if he didn't leave. Once he left, things would definitely become the worst... No problem, why are you running?
So, Zhonghezhen took the first step and stepped into the meeting room.

As soon as he entered, the door of the conference room behind Zhong Hezhen slammed shut with a bang. The sudden noise scared him.

Before Zhong Hezhen turned around to check, a row of lights above his head lit up. A beam of dim light fell from the sky and hit Zhong Hezhen, illuminating the front of him. The road made up of lights extended all the way to the podium at the end of the conference room.

There was a clothes hanger on the podium, with a black coat and lining hanging on it, and a metal medal of a laughing clown on the chest.

Zhong Hezhen swallowed his saliva and subconsciously looked around, then found that he was not alone in the conference room.

There were many people in this enclosed space. They were wearing black clothes and standing in neat rows against the wall, away from the lighted road. They faced Zhong Hezhen and also looked at him.

The faint light from the illuminated road shone on them, but there was no reflection at all, so Zhong Hezhen could only see their general outlines, but not their specific appearance or expressions.

Zhong Hezhen felt that the expressions of those who were looking at him were very serious. He couldn't help but frown and try to make his face as expressionless as possible.

After he adjusted his mindset, Zhong Hezhen slowly took a step forward and walked towards the black coat under the light... No matter what happened before, Zhong Hezhen's mood was very complicated now, so complicated that it was hard to describe, and he would definitely unforgettable it for the rest of his life.

The ceremony was very simple. It was just stepping forward under the gaze of everyone, taking off clothes and putting them on. No one spoke during the whole process, and there was no ceremony host standing up to ask Zhong Hezhen to say something to pledge his loyalty to the poker organization.

However, even in such a silent and dim ceremony, Zhonghe really felt the importance the organization attached to him... It was so luxurious that this unbranded black coat was actually made of expensive bulletproof material that could withstand pistol bullets.

And what happened after the ceremony was that someone actually made Zhong Hezhen sign a contract, a contract to hire him as the manager of Joker Pharmaceuticals, which stated that as long as he did not quit the poker organization, he would not only have five social insurances and one housing fund, but also receive a monthly after-tax income of 500,000 yen.

In other words, the poker organization has actually considered Zhong Hezhen's retirement issue. As long as the organization exists and he himself is not dead, when Zhong Hezhen gets old, he can get a pension from the insurance company.

Joker Pharmaceuticals is a legal company in Japan. Legal companies pay insurance for their employees. Is there any problem with that?

Zhonghe really thinks so.

Is this a lot of money?

Not much, just above the average wage level in Japan. However, it is worth noting that 500,000 yen is only the basic salary, not counting mission rewards and other miscellaneous allowances.

To be honest, Zhonghe was really surprised to find that the other salary he received was not as much as the salary of a formal member of the poker organization, and this income was after-tax, it was white money that did not need to be laundered.

At that moment, Zhong Hezhen couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be no big problem in him working for the poker organization.

If he doesn't do something practical, he will feel uncomfortable holding the money.
