Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 562 Her Complaints

The next day, at 10:00 AM, downstairs at Risa Yasuhara's apartment building.

"Yesterday was so satisfying!"

As Risa Yasuhara stirred her hot latte in the booth, she reminisced about the events of yesterday.

"But Aragaki Yumezuki is really shameless. If I were in her shoes, I couldn't say something like that."

After Yu finished singing "Jealousy", Aragaki Yumezuki first clapped insincerely, then stood up and said that this was a solo performance, not a duet, which did not comply with the class rule of bringing family members, so they had to do a duet.

Then they actually made up for it.

After a duet of "PLANET", Aragaki Yumezuki completely lost her temper and even made an excuse to leave early.

“That’s why you always got the short end of the stick before.” Orihime Asada picked up her black coffee. “Compared to her, you’re too thin-skinned. She can say the same things, but you can’t.”

"However, being a little thin-skinned has its advantages. When the other party is being aggressive, you will appear more 'vulnerable,' and people tend to sympathize more with the weaker party."

However, even so, given Risa's strong-willed nature, she certainly doesn't want to be the weaker party.

"Even though I know you're telling the truth, why can't I feel happy?"

Risa Yasuhara rolled her eyes.

Based on her understanding of Orihime Asada, she knew that this person was definitely saying that on purpose.

"Because you have a strong personality."

Orihime Asada shrugged, put down her coffee cup, and took out her phone to look at it.

Her phone just vibrated.

"Strong people always want to take the initiative."

She thought for a moment and then added this sentence.

She was so certain because she was a strong-willed person.

She and Risa are actually quite similar in personality; they are both people who are opinionated and have their own ideas, and they boldly express their opinions on many issues.

Risa is just more direct, while she is more subtle.

"I can be more passive, but only if there is mutual respect."

Risa Yasuhara pursed her lips dismissively.

"But it's obvious that Aragaki Yumezuki didn't realize this at all, or rather, she did realize it but didn't care. If she doesn't care, why should I care?"

She always treats others the way they treat her.

Yes, she can back down, but it depends on who that person is.

If it were Yu and the others, she could compromise on some issues. After all, they had been friends for a long time, got along very well, and were generally compatible. In such a relationship, there was nothing wrong with making concessions.

Moreover, in such a relationship, the so-called 'concession' is unlikely to be mentioned.

"Ah."

Orihime Asada nodded casually in agreement, but as the text on her phone screen came into view, her brows furrowed.

She could feel her blood pressure rising rapidly.

A supplier they've been working with for a long time came to the headquarters last night to discuss a contract. Due to price differences, the situation was quite tense, and the atmosphere wasn't very pleasant. So, the person in charge of receiving them didn't invite them to stay for dinner.

As a result, the supplier took a plane and left early in the morning.

She genuinely didn't understand; had the head of the reception department lost his mind?
Why get angry at a time like this?
Don't they know that, at the same price, that supplier offers the best quality goods?
What's wrong with you?

If nothing unexpected happens, she'll have to clean up the mess again.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and the anger in her heart surged higher and higher.

Is this a human?

Do you really not take your job seriously?

"what happened?"

Noticing the sudden change in her friend's expression, Risa Yasuhara paused and looked at her with concern.

In her mind, Orihime was a very emotionally stable person who rarely showed such extreme anger.

Even when she's angry, she usually keeps her temper in check.

"Someone did something stupid, and it looks like my vacation is going to end early."

Orihime Asada took a deep breath and composed herself.

If she could, she really wanted to go back to headquarters immediately and give everyone involved in this incident a good scolding.

But she knew very well that now was not the time to talk about these things; she had to get that supplier back first.

But it's really outrageous. So she was the one who was in charge of receiving guests before, but now that she's left and someone else is replacing her, problems are bound to arise, right?

Do these people have underdeveloped cerebellum? Or do they simply believe they can do whatever they want?
"So what's going on?"

Risa Yasuhara tilted her head and casually asked the question.

When emotions are surging, they should be released instead of being suppressed, as suppressing them can easily lead to problems.

Only by venting bad emotions can good emotions enter.

Furthermore, she was also quite curious as to why Orihime could be so angry.

"They drove away a very important supplier." Orihime Asada's chest heaved violently. "The quality of their goods was the best in its price range, bar none."

It wouldn't be a problem if there were alternatives, but the real issue is that there aren't any.

That supplier was truly unique to them.

Unless the president who makes the decision thinks it's okay to increase the cost of raw materials, that supplier's position is probably more secure than some of the shareholders on the board of directors.

"I suggest investigating whether this person is an inside man."

Upon hearing this, Risa Yasuhara shook her head, inwardly exclaiming, "Awesome!"

It's true what they say: it's not the cunning of bad people that's scary, it's the sudden inspiration of fools.

If they can recover it, it won't be a big problem. But if they can't, they might have to bear joint responsibility.

And it's quite outrageous, really. Any normal person would know that they shouldn't do it this way, but they still did it anyway, which is a bit hard to explain.

However, she wasn't particularly surprised, since there are always more emotional people than rational people in this world.

"It really is time to investigate."

Orihime Asada rubbed her swollen nose, opened the flight booking app, and started changing her flight ticket.

She had originally booked a flight for 9:32 AM tomorrow, but it seems she'll have to cancel it and buy a ticket for today.

So she still couldn't understand what those people were thinking.

How come they can't even handle the most basic hospitality when I'm not around?
"And then, what were you going to say today?"

Risa Yasuhara coughed lightly and then changed the subject.

If we continue discussing this topic, given Orihime's current behavior, she'll probably stay angry for a long time.

She didn't care what happened afterward, but right now she just wanted to calm her down.

This is something she deeply felt after becoming a teacher.

When a teacher is angry, don't try to provoke them; instead, try to resolve the issue by smiling and apologizing politely.

If both sides are hardline, it will only escalate the conflict.

This was also what the old teacher who mentored her told her.

"What did you want to say?"

Asada Orihime glanced at the flight ticket time, and after confirming that everything was correct, she clicked to buy the ticket and paid. Then, she raised her eyebrows and met Yasuhara Risa's gaze with a puzzled expression.

Her friend's sudden comment left her a little confused.

"It's when I get up in the morning and wash up."

Risa Yasuhara picked up her latte, took a sip, and then calmly uttered those words. She had clearly seen that Orihime had obviously hesitated to speak at that moment.

Her expression clearly didn't seem like that of Orihime anymore.

It's worth noting that, whether back in college or now, Orihime's ability to manage facial expressions has always been better than hers.

"Oh, well, I do have a question."

Upon hearing this, Orihime Asada immediately understood and nodded.

Her mood improved a lot as a result.

If she had had enough time, she could have asked the person in question herself in the afternoon, which is why she didn't bring it up while washing up in the morning. But now it seems she doesn't have that opportunity to ask the person in question.

The only one I can ask is Risa.

"what is the problem?"

Risa Yasuhara raised her chin, indicating that she should say what she wanted to say and not hesitate. There was no need for them to go through the motions of asking and yielding.

Moreover, she was quite curious; she genuinely wanted to know what Asada Orihime wanted to ask.

If you think about it carefully, she really doesn't know what's worth asking.

“I want to know if Watanabe holds multiple jobs.” Asada Orihime carefully considered her words and revised the second half of her sentence, “For example, while attending school, she also supports herself through other means.”

In fact, she was about 70% sure, but without confirmation from the person involved, she felt she couldn't rush to draw a conclusion.

Of course, the most crucial point is that she needs to see Risa's expression to determine whether her guess is correct or not.

"you guess."

Upon hearing this, Risa Yasuhara's expression froze for a moment, then she blinked unusually and gave a childlike answer.

She wanted to say that if she could.

But she wasn't the type to blabber, and although Yu didn't force her to keep it a secret, she felt she couldn't just say anything.

Especially since this concerns You's normal life, it's even more important not to say anything carelessly.

Moreover, she did not obtain permission from the person involved at all.

"...So you're going to pull this on me, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Orihime Asada was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

She was so angry she laughed.

In a sense, it wouldn't be out of place for Risa to say this, but she still wants to say, "You're such a grown-up, why are you acting like a child? Isn't that a bit too immature?"

And doesn't your attitude and expression already say it all?
As for what he didn't explicitly say about "simply," that's not important at all. Everyone here is smart; the moment that word comes out, everyone knows exactly what it refers to.

but……

It is indeed quite interesting.

My other judgment seems to be correct.

Risa's feelings for Watanabe seem to be a mixture of romantic feelings, though not many.

However, she felt that this might be a foreshadowing.

But who knows what the future holds?
"..."

Risa Yasuhara didn't respond, she just hummed twice.

She knows Orihime too well; she absolutely cannot answer at a time like this.

If you answer, there will be flaws.

You mean you can't answer?

Looking at the expression on her face, Orihime Asada asked a pointed question.

However, she was quite surprised. Any high school student who became a hit singing star would definitely be eager to promote themselves.

Standing in the spotlight is a dream for many, but Watanabe Yu is able to resist it and even live the life of an ordinary high school student, which is truly remarkable.

Honestly, she can't be low-key; on the contrary, she'll be very high-profile.

However, if her guess is correct, then she can look for him if she has any music-related collaborations in the future.

Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields.

It doesn't matter who you give it to, it's still a gift.

"..."

Risa Yasuhara rolled her eyes. Did Orihime think she was stupid?

The answer to this type of question, whether it's "yes" or "no," is the same.

All she could do was remain silent or abruptly change the subject.

The latter is also obvious, so the only option left is "silence".

"Forget it."

Seeing her friend's expression, Asada Orihime probably understood what her friend meant, and she waved her hand dismissively.

"Let's talk about something else."

She wouldn't force Risa to talk about things she didn't want to talk about.

Besides, given Risa's personality, she must have promised Watanabe to keep it a secret. If I keep asking, wouldn't I be putting Risa in a very difficult position?

"Didn't you want to change your ticket?"

Risa Yasuhara asked a question.

To be honest, she breathed a sigh of relief the moment she heard Orihime agree to talk about something else.

Concealing things was never her forte; it was Orihime's.

If she continues like that, she'll be showing off her limited skills before an expert.

The more you say, the bigger the flaws become.

"It's done."

Orihime Asada paused for a moment, then corrected her.

"Also, this isn't a rebooking, it's buying a new ticket, because rebooking is no longer possible."

So what exactly were those people thinking?

That's such an absurd and basic mistake.

What's even more outrageous is that she has to clean up their messes!
She didn't even dare to imagine how many smiles she would have to put on.

"Oh."

Risa Yasuhara nodded, indicating that she understood.

Although she comes from a well-off family, she has rarely traveled since she started working. When her family asks, she always brushes them off by saying she wants to rest.

Of course, she was telling the truth.

She's already exhausted from work, and she's so stupid to go out and have fun when she finally gets a long holiday to relax.

Besides, holidays are peak tourist season, so going out to play just means seeing crowds of people.
And it was so hot outside.

"So, back to the original question, what are your family's thoughts on your personal life?"

Orihime Asada coughed lightly and asked about her friend's blind date.

Her family is also urging her to remarry.

However, because of the distance, the frequency of urging is relatively low.

"My personal issues..."

Speaking of this, Risa Yasuhara scratched her head and complained to Orihime with mixed feelings.
