Junji and Yoichi

Rope looked at the approaching man and woman with a playful smile on his face.

Of course, it still looked gentle and normal, but for some reason Junji saw something else in Rope's smile.

So he gave Rope a stern look behind the man and woman, signaling him not to say anything he shouldn't. Of course, what he didn't know was that Rope wasn't laughing at him at all.

It was the man and the woman he was laughing at.

The man was wearing a high end tailored suit, which was obvious from the little details. Rope was a kid who had seen the world in his original world itself, and his family was rich. And after crossing over Professor Oak not only didn't lack money, as the leader of modern Pokémon researchers, Professor Oak's wealth was counted in the entire Pokémon world.

As for the woman, the professional clothes she wore were obviously good as well, but unfortunately, at a glance, they were a notch below the man's clothes. Seeing this woman, Rope had the feeling of playing the game for the first time in his previous life when he saw Olivia. It was quite a stunning feeling.

Only compared to Olivia's cold beauty, this woman was closer to demonic.

A woman whose beauty was aggressive.

As for why Rope was smiling.

Rope had previously had Rotom hack into the Cerulean City Water Supply Company's intranet and gain access to all of the employee information.

Rope also knew that this was against the law...although the Pokémon world was relatively lacking in laws regarding this. After all, this is a world where being approached is a mass armed (meaning Pokémon) fight.

But then there's the argument that it's no good not suing, isn't it?

How can you sue if you don't get caught?

And by analyzing this information, Rope, or Rotom, identified two questionable employee files.

One was Junji's employee file.

And the other...was the file of the woman in front of him.

The problem with Junji's file was in the rate of promotion and age, as well as merit.

Junji's promotion was so slow that it took him five years to make it to junior captain in the basic staff team here.

And in those five years, Junji has made a heck of a lot of achievements, at least. But he's still a squad leader. People with similar length of service but not as much credit as him have been promoted to captain or even manager.

It would be understandable if Junji's merits were not reported or were replaced by others. However, every credit was carefully written down on his resume, and such a situation could not be explained by the fact that he had offended the leadership.

Otherwise there shouldn't have been any credits.

And the woman in front of me has a problem with her file.

This woman joined the company just three days ago. The file is clean, it just says that she was recruited as a personal secretary by the man in suit in front of her, that is, Yoichi.

And this situation combined with Yoichi's file and character analysis...there's a big problem.

Rope trusted Rotom's judgment, and he guessed Junji's identity. As for the two in front of him, Rope basically had a clear idea of the medicine they were buying in their gourd. Only, he still wanted to see how these two were going to sell the medicine.

Therefore, he didn't have the intention of clarifying either, and just smiled gently but filled with hidden malice.

"Professor Rope! I've heard a lot about you! My name is Yoichi, and I am the vice president of Cerulean Water Source. On behalf of all of us at Cerulean Water Source, I would like to welcome you, the youngest doctor in the researchers' world right now, and I am deeply honored by your visit."

Yoichi stretched out his hand three or five meters away from Rope and smiled very warmly.

As the saying goes, a hand is not a smile, and although Rope would have fought, he didn't have that in mind right now. So he also extended his hand very warmly and walked head on in Yoichi's direction.

"Hello Mr. Yoichi! I'm Rope, you flatter me, I also just found a blank field by fluke and then made a small insignificant contribution."

When Yoichi heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he shook Rope's outstretched hand very warmly. He shook it very hard, reflecting his excitement and welcome to Rope, but the strength was also well mastered and did not make Rope feel any pain. I have to say, this is a very measured guy.

Junji, on the other hand, was subtly rolling his eyes at Rope.

He had a feeling that Rope's words could be said to be overly modest, and instead, he was showing off a bit. Very few achievements could be achieved by a fluke, especially in the field of research.

There were many blank fields, and even more known ones, but why weren't others successful?

Luck is often the final factor. And those before the luck, only the dragon body, otherwise only that eye-dotting stroke can only look at the ocean.

That's why it is said that luck are successful people's humble words.

But on this there are many people feel that they and the success of the only difference between luck...

Even a pig can fly in the wind, but only those who are still flying when the wind passes are called successful...

That's why Junji doesn't believe anything Rope says.

However, in contrast to his cryptic indication, Yoichi directly laughed, "Hehe~, Professor Rope's words are too modest... it's not easy to mix into the research world, let alone making a name for yourself!"

Rope nodded with a smile as well.

He took Junji and Yoichi's reactions in.

It was clear that Junji was still too young compared to Yoichi. It was clear that Junji still had a short way to go.

But thinking of this, Rope also sighed in his heart.

[Grow up quickly, Junji, there's not much time left for you.]

Of course, Rope, who was eager to watch the fun, was interested in the future story between Junji and Yoichi, so he had no intention of intervening to help either side.

After all, there were more important things to do in front of him.

"Mr. Yoichi, I believe my judgment on this place, and you know it in general. I won't explain any more." Rope said directly, "I know that this piece of mud is likely to affect the reputation of your company. After all, I also know that League inspectors are coming to Cerulean City to evaluate the gym and inspect the governance of the entire Cerulean City. If there is a problem here, it will definitely greatly affect the rating of Cerulean City. So you don't want to take the blame, and I have no grudge against you. I'm just very interested in the problem here."

Rope looked at Yoichi's unchanging smiling face and then spoke, "I won't call the relevant departments, so you guys hurry up and clear the dredging, and you'll have to assist me in completing some research and investigating the whole thing clearly."

"No problem! Even if you don't say so I will still seek your help, after all, a Pokémon Professor to help us investigate this matter is more than we can ask for!"

Yoichi agreed readily, just as he said, Surely I wish it, I dare not ask for it.

Only a gentle smile appeared at the corner of Rope's mouth.

"If there's something in here that interests me, it's mine. How's that?"

The atmosphere... froze.
