185 – [3] Contract
#185
Of course I wasn’t that interested.
It was just annoying, and I was just annoyed that my schedule for the day was delayed.
Whether he knew this or not, the local council member grinned.
Soon, he bent down slightly and showed his hispanic face.
“Hunter, is there anything uncomfortable?”
There are a lot.
It’s very inconvenient.
How could a mere academy cadet not feel uncomfortable when meeting a congressman?
It even feels strangely strange, so how could you not?
So I turned my head again and glared at the branch manager.
‘That’s because it’s a matter of performance. ‘Can’t I just look at it this once?’
He clearly showed me the problems with the performance-first system and gave me a hard look that said I should sign a contract.
It seemed like it contained the joys and sorrows of a salaryman, so he was likely to agree.
‘Why me?’
I didn’t really want to do that.
The biggest reason was that I was pushed into a situation without any request and there were many questions.
“Ha.”
Honestly, it was pathetic.
In the first place, did you think you could just leave this to me and get away with it?
Even if that weren’t the case, I’m an outsider and have no reason to devote myself to Nartica.
This is especially true if it is a minor contract.
“Yes, it’s a little uncomfortable.”
That’s why I decided to be honest and honest.
The branch manager’s expression became tinged with embarrassment.
He probably thought I would act in the best interest of Nartica.
He probably looked funny because he always acted like a child.
“Oh, you’re uncomfortable?”
“You called a person who was well on his way, so how could there not be any inconvenience?”
I twitched my eyebrows.
Then the Autonomous Council member sipped his coffee.
“Oh my…… That’s something I hadn’t considered. “I apologize for this failure.”
“There is no need for an apology. “What I want to ask personally now is why on earth did you call me?”
Well, you probably didn’t call me for a simple reason.
There must be some special reason.
“Hmm, I think the distance between us is a bit far to talk about that honestly.”
“Is the distance between you and the person you just met that important?”
“It could be an opportunity to get to know each other deeply. Besides, it is generally said that when meeting people, not only the first impression but also the subsequent impressions are important, right?”
It’s also ruining the lasting impression.
Soon, he slowly came next to me and sat down.
“I think it’s because you don’t know what the world is like yet. “If you are a politician and do this to the general public, you may run into problems later.”
“You don’t know what’s going on in the world? “Isn’t 24 old enough to say you know enough about the world?”
24 Years old.
He was 4 years older than me.
However, the fact that the blood did not dry on the head did not change.
He was too young for a politician, to the point where one wondered why this guy was a member of the National Assembly.
“That’s not the point of what I’m saying.”
“In any case, you are pointing out that my behavior is immature and that I lack experience, right? Well then, I have no choice but to refute that. Of course, I won’t deny that it’s a parachute.”
Even a parachute member of parliament.
It was clear that it was not a political club or starting from the bottom, but a position created by acquaintances or family.
“Where is your district?”
“Oh my, are you really going to report this to the media? “Then it wouldn’t be much fun.”
“Wouldn’t that depend on what the congressman says? And if you ask the branch manager next to me, this is exactly what he will say. “Just be honest here.”
“…… Arecibo 24th district. “It’s in the central region.”
24Th district, central region.
It is a constituency near the World Gate.
It was quite far from the Nartica branch.
“You have a good district.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
I’m not serious.
I’m just saying this out of courtesy.
“But then I think you should have been near the gate or at the local council, not here. “What brings you to the Nartica branch in the 17th district of Arecibo?”
“Over there. Sorry, let me explain… ….”
The branch manager suddenly intervened.
Soon, he started rambling and kept repeating that it was no big deal.
You were talking about the contract earlier, but I can’t believe you’re doing that because of it…… Wait, no.
If it were a normal contract, such a reaction could not have occurred.
I received an award.
The question of what on earth he was hiding was about to come out of his mouth.
“Oh, let me explain for you. “Nothing special, it was just a distribution-related contract.”
“Negotiative contract related to distribution?”
“Yes! The branch manager said that he was having a headache because he had too much elixir in stock! So, we connected them with relevant small businesses!”
There was a lot of elixir in stock.
However, it was questionable whether it was at a level that required inventory processing.
“Director, isn’t there a lot of elixir in stock?”
“That…” … We don’t have a lot of inventory, but there are some items that don’t have a long shelf life left…….”
Damn.
The problem wasn’t inventory, but the distribution period.
However, if a person came to sign a contract with an issue like this, it was normal for a high-ranking person from the company to come.
There was no reason for the Autonomous Council member to come.
“But…… “I don’t think there was any need for you to come.”
“Well, the person in charge said he was a little busy. “I came here because I was curious about what kind of company Nartica was.”
A member of the House of Representatives?
You have time for that?
“And there were times when I came back because I was so bored that I had time to spare.”
“Is being a member of the House of Representatives such a leisurely job?”
“Because the Arecibo Autonomous Council has no power. “Anyway, companies and the academy execute everything, so what is there for lawmakers to do?”
It was my first time hearing this.
Because of this, I thought she had to do the bare minimum even if it was just a facade, but that was actually why I understood all of her actions.
To the board, to the parachute, to the contract.
This is only possible because there is no power and there is no work to do.
Salary Lupine… ….
No, the peak of blood cell lupine.
I felt somewhat uncomfortable thinking that the taxes I paid here were going to those people.

But to put it another way, because the autonomous council did not function properly, companies were able to place ugly advertisements around the academy.
If autonomous councils were normal, advertising-related laws would have been enacted several times, calling them hideous.
Perhaps a law could be enacted to reduce the frequency of advertising by companies.
“Do you understand this?”
“…… “Roughly speaking.”
The autonomous council member smiled brightly.
Then he slowly moved his hand up my thigh.
I pulled it carefully and it gradually went up.
When I looked straight into his eyes, his eyes became sinister.
“Then where…” … “Shall we talk about the contract?”
“… ….”
“If you show just a little bit of ‘sincerity’ on your part, I can show ‘sincerity’ on your part too…” ….”
“… ….”
“It would be a good deal for both parties. “The contract will also be able to be modified to favorable terms for that party.”
“… ….”
“How do you feel? Personally, I think it’s pretty reasonable… ….”
“…… Her.”
Rational nonsense.
I grabbed her hand that was going straight to her crotch.
“Oh my. Do you have any thoughts?”
“It’s really interesting how contracts between businesses are created.”
I immediately stood up.
She lightly brushed away her thigh that she had touched.
The Autonomous Council member looked at me in bewilderment.
I expected how he would feel, but I didn’t really want to consider it.
“The contract will be postponed for three days. “Given the situation, I think it will be difficult to sign a contract today.”
“Ah…… Yes?! “Three days later?”
“Are you having trouble making your schedule? Then we can adjust it two days later.”
It’s only a few days.
Not a month or a week, but a few days.
It’s not like he can’t even give you that much time, right?
If not, we have no choice but to take the last chance.
“No, no, it’s an elixir that doesn’t have much expiration date left…… ! After three days, we, the distributors, will incur losses…… !”
“So you don’t plan on buying it just because it’s been three days? “It’s a contract related to elixir in the first place?”
Nartica doesn’t sell products with a week left until the expiration date, right?
Moreover, once this contract is concluded, you have to think about the next contract, right?
Wouldn’t it be a shame to just miss out on this expensive product?
It was no different from a form of abuse of power, but it was inevitable in a situation where everything felt gray.
In order to reduce risk, there were times when you had to act like a fearless person.
“Still… ….”
“If it is determined to be a reasonable contract, we will also conclude a contract related to additional volume.”
Pushing out volume disguised as a carrot.
It could look good or it could look bad.
But it’s suspicious, so what can you do?
Seriously, this wasn’t my place to judge.
“Wait a minute, what is that…….”
Of course, it was something that the branch manager could judge.
Anyway, he was the person leading a branch of a company.
There is a lot of responsibility, but there is also a lot of authority.
Because of this, it was an irrefutable truth that he was ‘officially’ higher than me.
Is that why it is like that?
In the situation of contract extension, the branch manager’s face quickly turned pale.
In the end, he quickly grabbed my shoulder with burning eyes.
Because he wasn’t a hunter, he didn’t have much power.
“It was a contract that was barely coordinated at best!”
“So do you have any complaints?”
“Of course there can’t be—”
“Even though the decision was made by a supervisor dispatched from headquarters?”
The words that were spoken with anger were interrupted.
He opened his mouth as if he had no idea he would be caught in a place like this.
“Well, that’s…” ….”
Yes, you said I was the guy who came to supervise the governor.
Shouldn’t you take responsibility for what you said in a public place?
“But the branch manager still opposes it?”
I walked in front of the branch manager.
His head, shining in the reflection of the fluorescent light, was obscured by my shadow.
It was a physical threat, and the branch manager slightly backed away from him.
Judging by the fact that no words had come out of his mouth yet, it seemed like he still felt the need to sign a contract.
“I want you to think about what choice Marie Marie would have made if she were here.”
So, this is the person he fears the most.
A thousand names were sold.
The branch manager’s eyes trembled.
His head slowly dropped.
Different from when I just say it.
It was indeed a quick effect.
“…… All right.”
With the consent of the branch manager, the contract was postponed.
The Autonomous Assembly member left the building, wiping his face.
That was the end of the contract for that day.
But even though the contract was over, the work was not over.
“Tsk, I guess I’ll have to track it down.”
Because there were still questions about the members of the Autonomous Council.
I had to discuss with Marie and prepare for the next time.
“Well, that…” … I said to Miss Marie… ….”
“Don’t worry, I will explain differently depending on what the branch manager does.”
“… ….”
Of course, the questions about the branch manager were the same.
At my words, his expression changed as if the world had collapsed.
It wouldn’t happen if I didn’t get stabbed.
It was so amazing.
