Who are you scolding for eating soft rice?

Chapter 89

The torrential rain seemed to be pouring over the entire city.

The sky and earth were dark, and the strong wind swept the fallen leaves.

On a less congested road, a car with fog lights on quickly passed through the rain curtain. The wheels rolled over the ground that had already accumulated a layer of not too shallow water, and then rolled up the water flow, spreading out an arc-shaped water curtain towards the side. .

Takiyazawa turned on the Bluetooth in the car.

Connect with your phone.

While using a safe way of talking, while paying attention to the traffic flow tens of meters ahead, he dialed a number that he refused to answer in the banquet hall just now.

The call was answered a little slowly.

I don't know if the other party did it on purpose or something happened temporarily, or I feel that I should be more careful when I was rejected a call 10 minutes ago.

But I still picked it up before the blind tone appeared.

"Good morning, Ishikawa-san." Takitanizawa smiled.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Takitani to call you back so soon. I thought it was a perfunctory excuse for you to say that it was not convenient to answer the phone in your message just now. It seems that this time I am treating the belly of a gentleman with a villain. "

As soon as the phone was connected, the words were quite meaningful.

"I was indeed at a banquet just now." Takiguzawa didn't care about the secret sarcasm in her microphone, but laughed in a gentle voice: "Although it is hard to be convincing to say such a thing in a rainy day, I don't know those big people Whatever is going on in my mind, maybe I can’t disturb their fun under any circumstances.”

Satomi Ishikawa on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment.

He seemed to be digesting the information in his words.

Even if she didn't know the truth or not, just relying on the timely return of the phone call, coupled with the fact that she completely accepted her deliberate sarcastic tone without getting angry, she was no longer suitable for continuing to show a confident temper.

"I didn't say that I didn't believe it, but I made this call today because I had something urgent to do. It has been three or four days since Takiya-kun left my house that day, but what about the transfer of the money we have negotiated before?"

"It turned out to be this matter. I almost forgot about it. I've been busy these two days. I'll transfer it as soon as I finish."

"I'm not rushing you, it's just that I only need the funds to open the store soon. Although I signed the contract, it's okay to be later, but Takiya-kun at least tells me the approximate time, so that I can make corresponding decisions based on the time. After all, planning involves decoration and personnel budget and recruitment, I hope you can understand."

"I can understand, but I've been a little too busy lately."

"So it's not ungentlemanly to use the recent busyness as an excuse for a lady who has been waiting for you for a matter that has already been finalized."

Compared to Minazuki Karen who paid but didn't get the money and could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Ishikawa Satomi is undoubtedly very confident.

Even if there is sarcasm hidden in the words, it is done just right, so that Takitani Ze can't find any fault at all, because they are not in an unequal relationship.

On the contrary, because of what happened last time, Takiguzawa probably went a little too far in exercising his rights while fulfilling his obligations, which gave Satomi Ishikawa some leeway, but that's all. After all, apart from this trivial loss, he fought back hold the secret.

However, secrets can only be used as an important weapon that can determine the outcome of both sides at critical moments.

If you use it on a daily basis.

That would more or less weaken the deterrent effect.

So Takiguzawa is not annoyed at Ishikawa Satomi for spreading such a little resentment towards himself.

Takitanizawa said with a smile: "I think what Ishikawa-san said makes sense, but I don't think I am a gentleman, but I will go to the bank to transfer money tomorrow."

"Anyway, hurry up, please."

Ishikawa Satomi on the other side of the microphone replied.

See that this call has achieved its purpose.

She said thank you and wanted to hang up the phone, as if she had no other intentions, but before she hung up, Takitani Ze stopped her and raised her own concerns.

"Wait, I have something else to tell you."

"What else is there, Takiya-kun?"

"It's about this store. Although I don't participate in the management, as one of the investors, it should be no problem to arrange for someone to work part-time in the store, and then only stipulate her salary and treatment?"

This request is actually not excessive.

In the usual joint venture shop, even if it is stated in advance that she will not participate in the management, but it is just such a small matter of arranging a job, she has no reason not to sell face.

After all, this is not a small business.

With an investment of 3000 million yen, plus Satomi Ishikawa's own funds, he opened a store in a more remote area of ​​Tokyo. The scale is not too small. The recruitment of staff must at least involve technical masters, front desk and finance, and the minimum must be similar A dozen people.

Arranging Qingyi Koizumi to work was also the cornerstone he laid to take his career to the next level.

The more wool on the little fat sheep.

The more he squirts, the better.

As far as Qingyi Koizumi is still in college, she can only find a part-time job, and she doesn't feel at ease if she doesn't intervene, otherwise she will use her two taels of brains to work for others, probably because the capitalists are hung up on the streetlights. May take the bench and run to the rescue.

As for working in Ishikawa Satomi's shop.

Will this issue be deliberately targeted?
It's very simple. Takitani Ze directly made it clear that the child was his own, so that if something happened, he would have a reason to trouble her.

I'm the employer, so I don't make sense!

That kid just came through my back door!
However, to his surprise, Ishikawa Satomi, who was silent on the other end of the phone, rejected his request.

"Sorry, no."

"Oh why?"

"I'm afraid it will affect the enthusiasm of the employees. Mr. Takiya probably hasn't studied management, so it doesn't matter if you don't understand."

"So Ishikawa-san disagreed?"

"It's not that I disagree, I just want to tell Mr. Takiya in advance of the trouble it may cause, so that I won't be blamed for any problems later."

Ishikawa Satomi on the other side of the microphone seemed to think that this was not enough, especially when the first few words on the phone were like punching cotton with nowhere to exert force, and then continued in a mocking tone:
"Takiya-kun has also worked, and he knows that fairness is the most important thing among colleagues. Obligations and rights are always equal. If they are not equal, unexpected problems will definitely occur."

"Please restrain your grievances, and don't bring personal grievances into official affairs, otherwise it will be meaningless."

When Takiguzawa heard this, he also put away the smile on his face. Although he didn't know why the emperor of the tea ceremony seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, every move and style was out of standard, even inferior to a second-rate player, but he also It doesn't prevent him from expressing his temper, he still understands that ignorant forbearance will only make people push forward.

"You mentioned obligations and rights just now. Maybe in your opinion, my behavior last time was very despicable, but that incident was not caused by me. Although I was present at the time, Ishikawa-san can definitely not use me as a shield."

"Things started because of you. Of course, the corresponding results after taking responsibility don't need to be reasonable. If Ishikawa-san thinks that I went too far last time, you can make it clear to me, or adjust it in private. No matter what, I will accept it frankly, but Is it a little unfair to put personal grievances on official affairs? If Ishikawa-san thinks that I only have a bad relationship, then there is no need to continue the business. If you want to target me, please be yourself. convenient."

"Besides, if, as Ishikawa-san said, I just arrange a part-time job for one person to make a bloody storm in a store with an investment of tens of millions of yen, then I can bear the result, and even if you lose, I can also compensate you , although I don't think such a trivial matter can be as you said, but even if there is a big problem, what does it matter?"

He just spread the word out.

The two of them together have at least [-] hearts and pretend to be foxes, and there is no reason to be angry with her.

It was just a relationship of mutual use.

What's the problem even if you give up?
Public to public, private to private.

Takiguzawa didn't quite understand how the other party's superb tea art and emotional control had such an abnormal attitude today, but he didn't have so many psychological scruples when dealing with the quasi-emperor of the tea ceremony.

If you are unreasonable, then I will not be unreasonable either.

Do you really think of me as a clown who covets your beauty or can unconditionally accept your tantrum?You are not the only one who is proficient in tea art.

Kanto and Kansai can be said to be a lot.

What's more, Takitani Ze also knows that eating soft rice is definitely about quality rather than quantity. The purpose of eating two handfuls is to choose the best in quantity. Appreciating tea art is just to not waste the scenery along the way, plus there is no psychological burden, but he has never Choose to bend down to hold a bowl while eating.

After he finished speaking these words, the other party was silent for a long time.

It seemed that he also noticed that something was wrong emotionally today. It wasn't until a long breath came from the microphone that Ishikawa Satomi spoke again.

"Sorry, this time it's my problem."

"I've been having some troubles lately."

"Maybe it's something that didn't go my way. I just took my anger out on Takitani-kun. I'm sorry."

I can pick it up, put it down, and say sorry.

This is the level of a quasi-emperor in tea ceremony.

Takiguzawa didn't continue to hold on to it, but after a little pondering, he calmly said: "It's okay, what I said just now may have been a little too aggressive, I hope Ishikawa-san can understand, so let's do it for today."

After saying a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Takiguzawa couldn't help shaking his head.

Even this kind of tea ceremony quasi-emperor can stumble, and I don't know why, is it because of himself?

It is not impossible.

After all, according to common sense, she is just an emotional person. It is normal to think that she has suffered a loss and wants to take revenge. After all, the more halo a person has, the stronger their self-esteem and cannot tolerate the slightest grievance.

Thinking of this, he secretly became vigilant.

Women are terrible creatures.

Especially vengeful women are even more terrifying.

But before dealing with this matter, Takiguzawa has one more thing to do, that is, after the banquet hall refused to answer Ishikawa Satomi's call, another call came in, but this time he answered it.

Takiyazawa was also driving to his destination.

After the long conversation just now, the car had already arrived at the destination. He originally wanted to drive over and park on the side of the road, but found a traffic policeman wearing a raincoat directing the traffic, and finally parked the car in a nearby underground Inside the parking lot.

I took the umbrella placed on the passenger seat and braved the wind and rain to walk to a store deep in the street.

"Kurokawa-san, are you still working in this weather?"

“It’s our job to serve our tenants.”

"It's really admirable."

"I'm really sorry. In this weather, I called you to come. It was an urgent request from the store owner. In addition, this store perfectly meets your requirements, so I took the liberty to call you. Please forgive me, Mr. Takiya."

"It's okay, I just happen to be nearby."

Takitanizawa followed Kurokawa's agent into a brightly lit flower shop. He glanced at the plastic umbrella bucket next to him, gathered the umbrella and inserted it.

As soon as I walked into this store, I could smell a fresh fragrance mixed with various floral fragrances.

The flowers that come into view are even more spectacular.

Yellow and white eustoma, golden tulips, roses of various colors in the freezer, and many green potted plants on the ground, it looks a bit crowded, but the store is not small, at least [-] square meters.

In a place like this, walking in is like a natural oxygen bar, which is very comfortable for both breathing and vision.

But what impressed him even more was the intermediary.

In the weather like today, you can work without any spare effort. The other party's cheap dark gray suit is almost black after being soaked in water, but he still introduces with a smile on his face. It seems that everyone's life is not easy.

"Mr. Takiya, I just received the lease information for this store today. It meets your requirements in terms of address and area. You can take a look."

The female agent smiled and started to recommend.

But she was right.

Indeed, they all meet Takitani Ze's requirements.

If he was looking for a job in his previous life, he would definitely choose to be close to home with more money and less work, and renting a storefront was similar. It was his request to exclude the first of the three.

This store is located in Okicho, Omiya-ku, very close to Hanagicho, about a 10-minute walk.

And the location is not a busy busy street.

It's a relatively quiet street.

According to the other party's words, the flow of people is not too much or too little. It is not so noisy that it makes people upset, nor is it so deserted that not a single pedestrian passes by for a long time.

And the biggest convenience is that this is a flower shop
If you want to sublease, you only need to pay an additional sublease fee, which is not too much, and you can go to the ward office with the original owner to go through the transfer procedures. The store's original business qualifications can be used as usual.

This really saves a lot of trouble.

It's not that the procedures are difficult, but that it takes at least 45 days for such flower procedures.

It's both troublesome and tiring, so it's better to do it in one step.

Takitanizawa is very satisfied with this store, almost to the point of being impeccable. To be honest, his requirement of not wanting a bustling location and not being too deserted is more difficult than ordinary leasing, and he also has strict requirements for the area and address, so It's really not easy to come across this store, and it's good to rent it out and play.

The rent is also within a reasonable market price, but the minimum rent is three years, and a one-time payment of half a year's rent is required.

This condition is also barely acceptable.

According to the Kurokawa intermediary, the original shop owner seemed to be in need of money, so that was understandable. Moreover, the three-year rent totaled more than 300 million yen. Even if he had to spend 3000 million yen in the near future, he almost emptied his pocket. , but you can still afford hundreds of thousands.

However, just when they had just signed the contract, a female voice suddenly came from the door of the store diagonally behind them.

"Great, finally caught up!"

Takitani Ze looked in the direction of the sound source and saw a girl with a single ponytail stroking her wet hair on her forehead, putting away her umbrella and walking straight in.

This girl has a high nose bridge, fair skin, and a standard oval face. Her shiny lip gloss seems to have been scratched by the rain, and some of it is smudged on her chin, but it does not ruin the beauty at all, but has a youthful vitality.

The upper body is wearing a cartoon graffiti short sleeve, and the lower body is a short skirt that has been curled up a few fingers. The crystal water drops slowly flow on the thigh, and the white silk wrapping the calf is wet by the rain, showing a translucent dress. It clings to the skin with a smudged feel.

It stands to reason that this type of girl is probably the same as Qingyi Koizumi, with a youthful atmosphere all over her body.

Maybe it's another sheep with insufficient brains.

But Takitani Ze only saw the small movements of the other party who seemed to be natural but turned her gaze on him as soon as he came in. He always felt that she was observing him secretly and seemed to be comparing something.

Tasting tea will bring you many coins, says the master of authenticity.

Master Takiya has already activated element awareness.
