12 o'clock in the morning, Sake Internet Cafe in Yoneka Town.
Yonehara Sakurako had arrived here twenty minutes ago. She hesitated nearby for a long time. Seeing that the scheduled interview time was getting closer, she plucked up the courage to enter the Internet cafe.
She is now eighteen years old and has just been admitted to a university in Yoneka Town. She comes from a single-parent family. Her mother is a maid of the Wakamatsu family in Cupido Town. After her mother passed away, the Wakamatsu family expressed their willingness to adopt her. The head of the family, President Wakamatsu,
He also expressed his willingness to pay for her college tuition.
Yonehara Sakurako was very grateful to the Wakamatsu family for their kindness, but felt sorry for always bothering them so much, so she just wanted to do odd jobs after school.
But for some reason, inexplicable events happened wherever she went to work:
Her first job was at a convenience store. On the first day she got the job, two customers got into an argument while waiting in line. One of them pulled out a fruit knife and stabbed the other. The stabbed person died on the spot.
Her second part-time job was in a dessert shop. On the fourth day she started working, a couple suddenly quarreled during the meal. The woman suddenly ran out and rushed to the road in the middle of the quarrel. A car didn't have time to brake and hit her directly.
, she also died on the spot.
Her third working place was a bakery. This time the accident happened on her seventh day of work. The bank next door was robbed. The robber accidentally broke into the store with a gun and a handbag full of money, and opened fire.
An innocent passerby who was blocking the doorway died. Because the passerby was not rescued in time, he eventually died in the store.
…
After looking for three jobs in a row, she was fired for causing a fatal incident, which made Yonehara Sakurako wonder if she was cursed.
The recruiter for this Internet cafe was notified to her by a classmate of hers after seeing it. This classmate sympathized with her for losing two jobs in a row. After she finished surfing the Internet yesterday and saw a recruitment notice posted at the door, she immediately notified her of the news by email.
.
"It's okay. Most of the people who come to the Internet cafe are otakus with no offensive power. They won't cause any more deaths." Her classmate comforted her kindly.
So Yonehara Sakurako called this Internet cafe, and after confirming that she could work as a part-time waiter there, she planned to give it a try.
The front desk clerk of the Internet cafe was a very honest-looking man, about in his early twenties. When he saw Yonehara Sakurako coming in, he pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes fell on the resume in her hand.
"Are you Ms. Yonehara Sakurako who was scheduled for an interview today?" he asked.
"Yes, this is my resume. I have worked in convenience stores, dessert shops and bakeries in the past."
Yonehara Sakurako walked over and handed over her paper resume. The honest male waiter took it and briefly glanced at the work experience: "Why did you quit after working for a few days? Whether it is part-time or full-time, everyone here hopes to find someone who can work for a long time.
"..." The male waiter glanced at her suspiciously. He picked up the phone and said to her, "Wait a minute. I'll ask the boss. He has the final say whether to hire you or not."
Yonehara Sakurako remained silent. She listened to the male waiter and the Internet cafe owner exchange a few words, and then hung up the phone.
"Take your resume, the boss wants you to go to the second floor to meet him." He said as he returned the resume to her.

After Jing Baiye and his subordinates from the information security team finished their work, they returned to their workstations and started working.
He asked them to check the intranet firewall first, while he took the list of other regional information group members given to him by Yuan Jiaming and planned to contact others to hold a network conference.
Jing Baiye didn't know how the organization recruited people. Those subordinates who had never met him and were scattered across Japan were surprisingly easy to talk to, and their tone was a bit trepidating. The whole meeting went very smoothly.
Although they were in different urban areas, Jing Baiye still planned to treat them equally. Members in Miwa Town were treated the same as members in other areas. He saw that these people were in a bad mental state during the meeting and knew that they had not had a good rest recently.
Just give them two days off first.
By the time everything was settled, it was already noon.
The working hours set by Jing Baiye at that time were from 9 am to 18 pm, with a one-hour break at noon, but he did not specify when.
Just as he was about to go out and say that everyone could take a lunch break, Hasegawa, the front desk clerk at the Internet cafe, called him.
"Boss, the person we agreed to interview today has arrived and is now on the first floor."
As a low-level member who has been stationed in this Internet cafe for a long time, Hasegawa will not call Jing Baiye by his code name or name, but will only call him the boss.
"Already here?" Jing Baiye looked up at the clock, it was exactly 12 o'clock, "It's quite on time. How are you? Are you a boy or a girl?"
"She is a quite young woman, she seems to be a college student from a nearby school. Her resume is a bit special." Hasegawa's voice was hesitant. "She had worked three jobs before, but she quit after a few days."
So unstable and prone to changing jobs? Jing Baiye asked: "What's the reason?"
"She said it was an accident."
Jing Baiye didn't understand what this meant: "Ask her to wait for me in the comics area on the second floor, and I'll go down and ask her."
He hung up the phone and walked out of the office, and told others including Yuan Jiaming: "From now on, it will be lunch break from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock. Now you can eat."
"Okay." Yuan Jiaming stood up and saw him looking like he was about to go out. He asked strangely: "Are you going down?"
"Someone has come to apply for a job at the Internet cafe. I'll go down and have a look."
Jing Baiye pushed open the glass door and went downstairs. When he reached the comics area on the second floor, he saw a young woman with a bun sitting on the single sofa in the middle.
She saw him at a glance and got up from the sofa like a spring: "...are you the boss?"
Jing Baiye's appearance is very suitable for his age. At first glance, he looks like an underage boy. Even because his face looks a bit rounded from the side, he was regarded as a younger child in the United States and France where everyone around him looked precocious.
.
"I'm the boss here." Jing Baiye walked over and sat on another single sofa, "Give me your resume."
The dumpling-headed woman reacted and held out her resume with both hands. He took it and looked at her name and age first, and then looked at her past work experience.
"Miss Yonehara Sakurako?" he shouted, "Why did you quit your first three jobs so quickly?"
After working for a job for a few days, the salary may be too bad, and it may be like this for several jobs... He still hopes to find a stable job, and does not want to spend too much time on resigning old people and recruiting new people.
"Because I always encounter accidents..." Yonehara Sakurako felt aggrieved when she mentioned this, and tears filled the corners of her eyes.
Jing Baiye's expression gradually changed from curiosity to speechlessness as he listened to her talk about her past work experience.
"I feel like I have been cursed by the God of Death. Otherwise, no matter where I work, incidents will happen and people will die..."
"You are thinking too much." Jing Baiye interrupted her, "There is no death in the world. Accidents happen wherever you go. It's just that you are unlucky. At best, you have an 'accident constitution'."
Even if it is an accidental constitution, it can only kill a few people at most, but it is impossible to kill dozens or even hundreds.
