My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

When asked about Saionji Sekai, Kiyoura Setsuna gave a matter-of-fact answer.

Chapter 602 Kawasaki Saki's Job Application Phone Call

Although the relationship between Kiyoura Setsuna and Takayanagi Ichiro is no longer as tense as it was when they first met, it is still a little difficult for Kiyoura Setsuna to communicate well with Takayanagi Ichiro.

Since Takayanagi Ichiro has already said he's going to treat everyone, it's understandable that Kiyoura Setsuna would take a little more food.

This item is free, so they need to find their own bags to pack it up.

Takayanagi Ichiro ignored them and instead wrote something himself.

"Mr. Gao Liu, thank you for your treat. If you have time in the future, you can come and visit our little shop. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the taste."

After thanking Takayanagi Ichiro, Saionji Sekai handed him her family's shop's business card.

"Of course no problem."

It was just a casual agreement, and Takayanagi Ichiro didn't refuse. He then went outside with the two female high school students.

After closing the outside door, the job posting was put up.

Ichiro Takayanagi had mentioned before that he would find someone to watch the shop here, but he didn't expect the action to be so swift.

Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna also promised to help look for suitable people, but they couldn't guarantee it.

Moreover, the job posting included Takayanagi Ichiro's contact information, which both Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna silently memorized.

"Qingpu, you should drink more dairy products; maybe you can continue to grow taller."

After getting into the car, Takayanagi Ichiro gave Kiyoura Setsuna this reminder, and then stepped on the gas and drove off.

This behavior left both Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna bewildered, while Saionji Sekai turned to look at her good friend.

Did she take that extra milk product just to grow taller?

“World, this man is really lacking in manners. You shouldn’t have given out our shop’s business card. I’m worried that he will cause trouble for us.”

The people of Kiyoura were furious. Even if he had the idea and actions of secretly wanting to grow taller, it shouldn't have been said so bluntly. How embarrassing!

"In that case, since Mr. Takayanagi has said so, perhaps drinking more dairy products will help."

Saionji Sekai responded to her good friend with a smile. Upon hearing this, Kiyoura Setsuna walked ahead angrily, refusing to walk with Saionji Sekai.

Kiyoura Setsuna was not angry, but she thought that Saionji Sekai had become a bit bad, and it seemed that people related to Takayanagi Ichiro would change a lot.

Saionji Sekai didn't think her good friend would be angry, so she picked up her things and chased after her.

..............

Kawasaki Saki didn't go to her previous part-time job after school today because the place had closed down, and she needed to find a new part-time job.

Previously, I saw a large convenience store near Sakakino Academy, but there was only one fat man inside minding the store, so I thought they were short of a clerk.

However, the middle-aged man inside was so lewd that Saki Kawasaki didn't bother to ask if she wanted to take on a part-time job.

But now I don't have a part-time job anymore, so even if the other party is sleazy, I still have to ask them, otherwise my family's finances will be in trouble.

Unfortunately, when I arrived here, I found that the convenience store had already pulled down its security door. Could it be that it has gone out of business?

However, when Kawasaki Saki approached and reached the door, she discovered that the convenience store hadn't closed down; rather, it was hiring someone to look after the store.

This made Kawasaki Saki a little tempted, and even if the store manager was that lewd old man, she would endure it.

After all, her family wasn't very well-off, and as the eldest daughter, she should help out.

This kind of thing means losing money every day it's delayed, so Kawasaki Saki dialed the number on the form directly.

"Moses Moses..."

"Hello, I saw that your convenience store is hiring a store clerk. Do you accept part-time staff?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was surprisingly pleasant, completely unlike the sleazy fat man.

However, Saki Kawasaki did not pursue the matter further, but instead revealed that her goal was to become a part-time shop assistant.

"I don't plan to run the store myself, so I plan to hire a store manager."

Regarding part-time staff, that can be discussed once the store manager is in place, but a part-time store manager is not needed.

Takayanagi Ichiro was a little surprised when he received the call; he didn't expect someone to be looking for a part-time job so quickly.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi did not lower his standards; he wanted a full-time store manager, not a part-time one.

"Sir, I have extensive experience in part-time work."

"I can only work part-time because I'm still in school; otherwise, I could easily be a full-time store manager."

Saki Kawasaki wanted to demonstrate her abilities over the phone, but Ichiro Takayanagi interrupted her and began asking for her information.

"you are?"

"My name is Kawasaki Saki, and I am currently a student at Sobu High School."

Because of family reasons, I often work part-time to help ease the financial burden on my family.

I wasn't lying. I've been working part-time since junior high school and have a wealth of experience in this field.

I'm not looking for a full-time store manager position right now; I just hope to get a part-time opportunity.

Kawasaki Saki could tell that Takayanagi Ichiro was the easy-going type, so she briefly revealed her situation.

"If you can help me find a store manager, then you can work part-time at this convenience store, and the salary will be higher than that of a full-time employee."

After learning Kawasaki Saki's identity, Takayanagi Ichiroko made a promise.

"Sir, if you want me to help you find part-time workers, I can persuade some of your classmates at school."

However, finding a store manager is unlikely, as I don't have any connections in that area.

Even the connections I made through my past part-time jobs have all gone their separate ways.

Takayanagi Ichiro's request put Kawasaki Saki in a bit of a bind, as she really didn't have any connections with such high-level talent.

"Kawasaki-kun, you said that you have been helping your family alleviate financial difficulties since junior high school, which means that your parents' income must not be very good."

Instead of directly rejecting Kawasaki Saki, Takayanagi Ichiro inquired in detail about her family.

Chapter 603 The Kawasaki Family Meeting

If a strange man were to talk to her face-to-face and inquire about these things, Saki Kawasaki would definitely not say a word, because she would think that the other person had ill intentions.

However, since she is now a job seeker and the other party is likely to learn about her situation, Kawasaki Saki will not hide much from them.

"Now, besides my part-time job, only my mother works in this family. My father has been gone for many years."

I have a younger brother and a younger sister, but one is in junior high school and the other is still in elementary school, so they can't help with the family's burden.

Even if they have such thoughts, I will stop them.

Kawasaki Saki is the eldest sister in the family, so naturally she has to shoulder some of the pressure.

She doesn't want her younger brother and sister to follow in her footsteps, which is why she cherishes this part-time job opportunity.

"Kawasaki-san, if you don't want your younger siblings to have to work multiple jobs like you, may I ask what your mother does now?"

When Takayanagi Ichiro actually asked his mother, Kawasaki Saki immediately felt that he was a bit powerful, but she was stunned.

"Sir, are you perhaps planning to have my mother become the convenience store manager, and then I'll work part-time here?"

This is the only plausible explanation; otherwise, why would Takayanagi Ichiro ask about her mother?

"I do have that idea, after all, Kawasaki-kun has a lot of part-time experience and can help your mother."

Moreover, I would feel much more at ease if the two of you came together to help me. With more people around, there would be more competition for interests.

Of course, if your mother has a good job with good benefits, then disregard what I said.

"Kawasaki-kun, I'll let you know about your part-time job after I find the store manager."

Takayanagi Ichiro explained his reasons and made promises, which made Kawasaki Saki on the other end of the phone trust him too much.

"My mother's monthly salary is 500,000 yen. I wonder how much your store manager can offer."

Saki Kawasaki didn't say what her mother's job was, only that she mentioned the range of her salary.

A woman who doesn't have a breadwinner in her family and earns 500,000 yen a month must be doing some physically demanding work.

Saki Kawasaki didn't want others to look down on her mother, so she didn't explain the nature of her work.

"Double it up. I'll hand over the convenience store to you to manage together. I hope you won't let me down."

When Takayanagi Ichiro immediately doubled the salary, Kawasaki Saki's heart skipped a beat; it seemed impossible.

"Sir, could we take a moment to discuss work?"

Saki Kawasaki was a little excited. If her mother could have such a job, it would definitely improve the family's living conditions.

However, communication over the phone is a bit difficult; it would be best to meet with Takayanagi Ichiro in person to sign the contract.

“I’m available anytime. If you’re still in school, we can meet whenever you want. Just send me the time and address when we meet.”

"Okay, thank you, sir."

After thanking Ichiro Takayanagi, Saki Kawasaki turned and left the school gate.

...............

"Sister, you are back."

Kawasaki Saki returned home to find her younger brother and sister waiting for her, which should have been a happy occasion.

But seeing the serious expressions on her younger siblings' faces made her nervous. Could something bad have happened to her mother?

"elder sister."

Fortunately, the serious expression on her younger sister's face didn't last long, and she immediately ran towards her.

Kawasaki Saki bent down slightly and picked up her younger sister, placing her on her lap. Both sisters had blue hair and looked perfectly matched together.

"Sister, Mom said she'll go talk to him after you come back."
