Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 214: Unable to write a novel, he had to inherit a billion-dollar fortune

"My friend, do you also like Kudo Yusaku's novels?"

Hearing the sudden male voice beside him, Taichi Tomizawa came back to his senses from his lost mood.

Turning around, a handsome young man was smiling at him.

"Oh, yeah." Taichi Tozawa nodded awkwardly.

He is not very good at talking to strangers.

The man seemed to sense his nervousness, turned around and looked at the books on the bookshelf, and said as if talking to himself:
"I just started reading mystery novels recently and they are very interesting."

Taichi Tomizawa also turned around and looked at the bookshelf.

On the cover of the book, the Dark Night Baron wearing a white mask with a strange smile was staring at him, as if laughing at his nervousness.

He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said:
"Mr. Kudo is my idol. It was because of his novels that I became a mystery novelist."

"Hey, so you're a mystery novelist?" The other person gave him a curious look.

"Well, even though my writing is terrible, I can at least be considered as working in this field..." Taichi Tozawa's voice didn't sound very confident.

[Please, don’t ask me what novels I wrote, and don’t ask me my pen name]

[Compared to Mr. Kudo Yusaku's works, what I wrote is simply garbage. If he were to read it, he would definitely laugh at me.]

[Damn it, why did I tell him what I do? I should have just kept silent from the beginning. I'm such an idiot]

Taichi Tozawa's mind was in chaos.

However, what reassured him was that the other party did not ask him what novel he had written or his pen name, but instead asked him which work of Yusaku Kudo he liked best.

Taichi Tomizawa breathed a sigh of relief and said the name of his favorite work.

The man searched the bookshelf and pulled out a book, which was his favorite.

"Thanks for the recommendation. I'll buy this one this time." The man smiled brightly, then took out a business card and handed it over.

Taichi Tomizawa hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, and took a look.

Polo Bar, bartender, Lin Ye...

"This is where I work. If you are free, you may come and sit with me."

The man winked and smiled:
"Throughout the ages, wine has been the spiritual companion of many writers and artists, and a panacea for inspiring inspiration. Come to our store and have a drink, and you may find some creative inspiration."

"Uh, thank you."

Taichi Tomizawa looked down at the business card in his hand.

[Poirot Bar, a bar named after the famous detective character written by Agatha, the queen of mystery novels. Maybe you can really find inspiration there]

[After I meet my father tonight, I'll go check it out. Even if I can't find any inspiration, I can just have a drink and relax.]

[My life has been really rough lately. All the novels I wrote have been rejected by publishers, and my living expenses are almost gone. I hope my dad can support me and help me get through this difficult time...]

[Alas, if I can’t support myself by writing novels, I will have to go back and inherit the family fortune.]

[I don’t want that kind of thing. I want to write novels for the rest of my life.]

Well, it turns out he’s a rich second-generation who’s pursuing his dream of becoming a novelist.

Lin Ye watched Taichi Tomizawa's back as he left, and always felt that he had done something unnecessary.

He thought he had met a down-and-out novelist and wanted to encourage him, but it turned out that he was a rich second-generation and there was no need for him to worry at all.

But never mind, guys like these are usually quite generous, so just think of it as generating revenue for the store.

Lin Ye took the books he had chosen and returned to the counter to pay.

"Mr. Lin, you are very selective. This novel is popular enough to be in the top three among all the works of Kudo Yusaku."

Seeing the book he chose, Azusa Enomoto praised it.

"It was recommended by someone else." Lin Ye said honestly.

"Ah, it's the guest who just left." "Do you know him?"

Azusa Enomoto shook her head: "That guest is here for the first time, but I think he seems to have something on his mind."

Careful and gentle, Ms. Azusa Enomoto is really suitable for working in the service industry.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye's gaze couldn't help but linger on Enomoto Azusa's face for two more seconds.

Azusa Enomoto noticed his gaze and touched her face with her hand.

"Is there something on my face?"

Lin Ye smiled and shook his head: "I just think that Miss Zi is attentive and gentle, and is very suitable for the service industry."

Hearing Lin Ye's straightforward praise, Enomoto Azusa's face slightly blushed, scratched his head and smiled:

"I feel a little embarrassed by such direct compliments."

"Sorry, I just said it subconsciously, but I mean it."

Azusa Enomoto's face turned red again, and she tried to hide her shyness with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Lin is really good at talking. Actually, I used to work in a nearby cafe. But some time ago, that cafe was changed into a bar, so I came here."

Huh? The cafe turned into a bar?
Could she be talking about the Café Poirot?
"Miss Zi, why don't you continue to work there?" Lin Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Although the boss there said that I can continue to work there, but I..." Azusa Enomoto scratched his cheek with his fingers, "I'm really not interested in places like bars, and I don't drink."

"I like coffee and reading, so after leaving there, I came to work in this bookstore. Although there are not many customers, as long as I stand in this space full of books and smell the fragrance of books, I feel very satisfied."

Azusa Enomoto glanced across the bookshelves in the store and smiled happily.

What a good girl.

Seeing the smile on Enomoto Azusa's face, Lin Ye sighed again.

But she didn't seem to have a good impression of the bar.

Enomoto Azusa put the books that Lin Ye bought into a bag, and then handed them over the counter along with the change, with a bright smile on her face:

"Here, your book and your change."

Lin Ye took the school bag and change and said with a smile: "Miss Zi, since you work in a coffee shop, you should have seen a lot of customers. Why don't you guess what I do?"

Azusa Enomoto opened his eyes wide and observed him, tilted his head and thought for a while, then guessed:

"Psychologist?"

Lin Ye was stunned, then felt a little funny. How come he was regarded as a psychologist again?

"Why do you think so?"

Azusa Enomoto recalled: "I used to know a psychiatrist, and you have a very similar temperament to him. Am I right?"

Lin Ye shook his head: "Although I am not a psychologist, my work is related to the human mind."

"What is it?"

Lin Ye smiled and replied, "Bartender."

"Huh?" Azusa Enomoto widened her eyes slightly, "Bartender, that's not in the bar... uh."

She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have said that she was not very fond of the bar.

"Well, please don't take what I just said to heart."

Lin Ye smiled and said, "It's okay, but if you have time, why not come to the store where I work? It might improve your impression of the bar."

"Well..." Enomoto Azusa was a little hesitant.

"The place where I work is called Polo's Bar."

"Eh? Poirot?"
