Chapter 185 – A New Day for a Gatekeeper.
Johannes nodded his head disapprovingly, unable to hide his disapproval.
But I can’t help it. In short, this investment right contract feels like a limited sale. It is also an investment right that only one of the executives can have.
Being an early investor in a promising business comes with great benefits.
It will be hard to give up
The feeling of embarrassment can be relieved with a few words.
“I will also make investment proposals in the business for the sake of fairness to other executives. But you should know that I first made this proposal to Johannes. We are paying a lot of attention.”
“I understand. However, isn’t the more people who make capital investments the better?”
“That question?”
“They’re suggesting that it’s not just a proposal to me, but that it would be better if other executives joined in and make the scale bigger from the beginning.”
“As a result, we will receive more investment as we increase the number of textile factories in the future. But it’s just the beginning, so I can’t make it big right away. Even if you make it, if you don’t decide on a seller or something like that, it will just become bad stock. For now, we’re going to start with something not too big. That’s why we need early investors.”
“Right…”
Talking about business doesn’t have to be long. Because I already got the promise I wanted. You need to change the subject so that you don’t think about business. Now all we have to do is sow the seeds of doubt among the executives.
“And it’s a separate story from business, but um, I thought a lot about whether I should say it or not, but this is Johannes-sama, who has a good relationship with the boss, so I’m telling you…”
“What?”
‘I’m asking you a special question because you’re a close friend of the boss, not someone else.’ This is a kind of incantation. By increasing our intimacy with Johannes and pretending to be a special relationship, it gives the illusion that you are different from other executives.
That will make Johannes more loyal to us.
“There seems to be a traitor among the executives.”
“What… !”
Of course, I never looked at the movements of the executives, so I didn’t know if there was a traitor or not. It’s just a bluff.
If you really find it, it’s good, and if you don’t have it, you can deepen the gap of distrust between the executives and isolate them. Once isolated, they will be completely dependent on their boss, Germi.
Because you will think more deeply that your rivals will betray you than that your superiors will betray you.
“What kind of ungrateful guy who jumped overboard betrayed me?”
“It’s hard to say who it is because we haven’t been able to find any solid evidence yet. So, sooner or later, we will embark on a massive operation to find the traitor.”
At the word work, Johannes pricked up his ears.
“Work? Which?”
“We are going to gather the executives and have a meeting. It would be a notice rather than a meeting. I will tell the executives that I will receive the reward.”
“As a reward, for us?”
Johannes made a slightly dissatisfied expression at the word “Bonus money”. Of course, suddenly paying money would make me feel bad. But I know how to put that dissatisfaction to rest.
“It is to find out the traitor. If you ask them to pay a bonus, other executives will be displeased at first, and dissatisfaction will build up. Didn’t Johannes-sama also feel reluctant to be told to pay the deposit?”
“Um… It’s not like that…”
“When the complaints of the executives are properly accumulated, there will be a guy who secretly invites the executives to form an alliance first. He is a traitor.”
“… So, are you saying you’re going to make an excuse for the traitor to show up first?”
“Yes, of course he is the boss’s brother-in-law. His head is working fine.”
“Heh heh heh, it’s nothing.”
Johannes gave me a happy smile at my compliment.
“Anyway, for that reason, sooner or later, I will summon the officers and collect the bonus. But don’t worry too much. It’s to find the traitor. After the hunt is over, I’ll return all of the deposit.”
Of course, I have no intention of returning it. There would be no such thing as a traitor, so they would be suspicious of each other, sluggish, and pay monthly installments.
The difference in the amount of capital that takes place becomes an irresistible force. They use money to find private soldiers and bribe their aides.
It is to monitor the behavior of executives from one to ten.
“As I said before, since you are Johannes, I gave you this information in advance. There is no one we can trust other than Johannes. All other executives are suspicious. Please help us find the traitor.”
“Ah! Of course! Don’t worry!”
With this, Johannes will not be averse to paying monthly installments. And he will feel a little more friendly with us and start to be suspicious of other executives.
The accumulated doubt becomes distrust and creates a deep valley to isolate oneself.
Repeat this with other executives.

“Ahhhhh…”
Phillips, who had worked as Johannes’ escort for a long time, waited outside the room for Johannes, who was talking with the boss, and yawned with his mouth wide open to soothe the boredom that filled his body.
He was born as a man, and at least once he entered the organization with the idea that he wanted to reign over people. He works hard, and when he became an escort for Johannes, a high-ranking official in the organization, he thought that he too could finally go to a high position.
But the reality was different. In the tedious daily life that repeats itself every day, Johannes, who has himself as an aide, probably sees his existence as just a rogue following him. There was.
He must have been the same age as Herendal, but the difference between being just the boss’s son or an ordinary baker’s son determined the main and supporting roles in his life.
Has it become a life to live the rest of your life, playing the role of a folding screen, worrying about others? Why can’t he be the main character?
Even if I think about it every day, I can’t come up with an answer.
She sighed, repeating her habitual self-deprecation, then looked at her blue-haired beauty from a distance in her hallway.
‘It’s fucking pretty…’
Apparently, she must have been the woman who was in Germi’s aide, who became the new heir.
That woman is also the main character. She is an upper-class person who has nothing to do with a lower-class life like herself. So let’s put it in her eyes.
Phillips looked at the slim body of the blue-haired beauty, recognizable by the top of her black robe.
‘The body is fucked up. How nice it would be if you were my girlfriend.’
While thinking about that, she met eyes with the blue-haired beauty. She looked like a woman approaching her.
No, that wouldn’t be it She is an existence that has no contact with humans like herself. She’s probably thinking of going into the room she’s guarding. She must be coming because she’s guarding the door.
Thinking about that, Phillips wondered if he could mix her words up, so she looked at the blue-haired beauty.
Normally, she would wait for the door to be opened for her, or she would walk past on business, but she stood straight in front of Phillips.
Phillips was perplexed.
Doesn’t she want to open the door?
Did I do something wrong? Did you stare too hard?
Just as things got complicated in her head, the blue-haired beauty handed her a note from her arms.
“This?”
“Read it later when you are alone. Mr. Phillips.”
“…”
The blue-haired beauty winked warmly and went back the way she had come. All in all, she had passed through that long hallway to hand this note to herself.
To think that such a beautiful woman, and a woman close to the next boss, would give her a separate note, she thought hard about what the hell was going on.
‘You even know my name. Did you fall for me Ha, flowers are finally blooming in my life.’
He hadn’t even checked the contents of the note yet, but Phillips imagined what his name would be and how many children he would have when he gave birth.
‘With a face and body like that, 11 people can do it. Fuck.’
The note felt oddly warm. Thinking that this must be her body temperature, I was able to guess how cozy and warm her body must be.
– Kik.
“Hey, stop going.”
Phillips, who was fiddling with the note, reflexively put it into his arms when he saw Johannes open the door and come out.
“Yes.”
The beauty knows her own name and calls her correctly, but this inspiration is that she never calls her by her own name even after working together for years.
Damn old man.
What the hell is written on the note?
Phillips had a strong feeling that these boring days were finally coming to an end.
*****
Late in the evening, Phillips, who had been doing Johannes’s chores all day, came home from work and hurriedly took out an important letter.
“What is written?! What if we want to get married?!”
How long has it been since you felt this excitement?
Phillips carefully opened the letter, feeling his heart pounding with the same thrill as when he was still a young boy and playing with a girl he had a crush on.
– We express our gratitude for your hard work, always dedicated to the organization. Winter is gradually approaching. Are your winter preparations going well? The baguette bread from my parents’ shop was really delicious.
… Omitted.
Young talent like you who will lead the organization in the future is our most important asset. To you, an important member who will lead the organization, very! I have an important request.
Johannes’ behavior has been questionable lately.
Phillips, you’ve been working as Johannes’ escort for a long time. He thinks that you, who have been by Johannes’ side the longest, know better than I do. I want you to monitor his every move. It’s the same escort as before, but I want you to keep an eye on him, and let me know right away if he does something suspicious or disturbing.
This is something special that only you can do.
I believe in you. I have no doubt that he will become an important figure in the organization with me in the future.
Dear Phillips. Germiga.
“A letter written by the boss himself… !”
As Phillips read the letter, he felt something boil in his chest. It’s surprising that the next boss was looking at him with interest, enough to even know that his parents run a bakery.
Phillips felt a thrill running down his spine at having been entrusted with the supervision of Johannes, an executive officer.
Ordinary daily life will change. He himself can be a special person.
