Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

I discovered there are still three coffee shops here.

He went into the three stores based on the map and browsed around.

I discovered that the locations and decor of these coffee shops were much better than the ones I had my eye on.

Not long after we entered, we saw quite a few customers going in to make purchases.

There are four coffee shops on this street, and Bai Feng thought that the competition in this shopping street is indeed quite fierce.

After examining it.

Shiro Shiro checked the time and figured it was almost time for her to start work, so she went back to work at Ichiran Ramen.

He estimated that he would be able to upgrade his chef profession to LV2 today.

As you level up, your culinary skills will improve, and you may also gain new chef skills.

Bai Feng doesn't have anything else particularly important to do right now, so it's impossible for him not to grind experience points.

However, they had only been at the door for a short while.

He then saw a figure standing near the door.

Take a closer look.

I discovered it was someone I knew.

The person walked over immediately the moment they saw him.

Yui Nagasawa wore her signature black sunglasses as always, looking both stylish and refreshing.

She gritted her teeth and smiled:

"Good afternoon, Kamishiro-kun!!!"

"Good afternoon, Yui-nee." After replying, Shiro Kaede prepared to return to the shop.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he realized that his hand had been grabbed by Yui Nagasawa.

"Kamishiro-kun, where are you going? Can't you see I'm here waiting for you?" Nagasawa Yui looked at him in disbelief.

Kamishiro Shiro explained, "Going to work!"

Yui Nagasawa was so angry she laughed. She wanted to say something, but then thought better of it and said helplessly, "You still have about ten minutes before you go to work. Come with me first, I have something to tell you."

Shiro Shiro had a rough idea of ​​what she was going to say, but he didn't refuse. He felt it was better to clarify these things for now.

Yui Nagasawa led Bai Feng aside, then asked with a puzzled look:

"Kamishiro-kun, why did you give up being a star?"

"Being a celebrity means high income and the enjoyment of being admired by millions!"

"This is a dream for many people."

"And you truly have the potential to become that kind of person!"

"I really don't understand why you're refusing?"

Shiro Shiro blinked and asked in return:

Didn't I already tell you the reason?

"I discovered I have a talent for becoming a top chef, so I've decided to focus on that career for now!"

When Nagasawa Yui heard him say the same thing again, she gritted her teeth in anger:

"What the hell do you mean by having the talent to become a top chef?!"

"Did you know that the income of top celebrities is several times that of Michelin three-star chefs?"

"They're not even on the same level!"

"You could say that a Michelin three-star chef works hard for a year and still doesn't earn as much as a top celebrity for a single performance or even just an appearance!"

Kamishiro Shirofumi retorted, "You'd have to be a top star to even get that. These days, how many obscure celebrities live worse lives than ordinary people?"

After coughing twice, Yui Nagasawa said coaxingly, "That's for other people, but you're different. As long as you join my family's company, I can definitely persuade the other senior executives to invest heavily in your operations!"

"By then, not only you, but even a cat could become a star and make a fortune!"

"In fact, the other people in the company have already received my proposal, and after learning about your situation, they all think you are very qualified."

"They've even started planning out the routes for you!"

"Your conditions are exceptionally favorable!"

"Now you're telling me you want to become a chef?"

"Are you really planning to work at Ichiran Ramen for three years as a chef?"

Shiro Shiro shook his head and said:

"of course not."

"I've already found a shop and become a boss."

"I estimate we'll have the store in the next day or two."

Yui Nagasawa was completely dumbfounded, covering her head and muttering:

"what?"

"The shop has been bought?"

"Where did you get so much money?!"

Suddenly remembering something, Shiro Kaede said:

"Those things are not important."

"Instead of this, could you lend me one million yen, Yui-nee?"

"It will probably cost me a lot of money to open my shop."

"We're short on cash flow right now."

"You won't agree to let me become a star, but you still want me to lend you a million yen?!" Nagasawa Yui's eyes widened, and she laughed angrily, "Kamishiro-kun, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious!" Kamishiro Shirofumi said, looking astonished. "You don't think I'm joking with you, do you?"

"Isn't that right?" Yui Nagasawa also looked astonished.

"Of course not!" Kamishiro Hakufeng shook his head. "Fine, if you're not willing to lend it to me, I'll go find someone else."

Shiro Kaede remembered that Shinichiro Akasaka also owed him a favor.

Shinichiro Akasaka is a member of the Major Leagues, and his annual income is quite high.

I've done him a huge favor, so lending me some money shouldn't be a problem.

Although the coffee shop owner was willing to transfer everything in the shop to him.

But that doesn't mean Bai Feng really doesn't need working capital.

Many things inside require money to support them.

Every day there are water and electricity bills, consumable costs, and the need to change signs, price lists, and so on.

It will cost a lot of money.

When Nagasawa Yui saw Bai Feng preparing to leave, she immediately panicked and shouted, "Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't lend it!"

"Huh? You're really willing to lend it?" Shiro Shiro turned around, somewhat surprised.

"I can lend it to you, but first tell me about your shop's situation so I can assess whether it's worth it."

Shiro Kaede didn't hide anything and told Nagasawa Yui about the shop's situation and location.

When Yui Nagasawa found out, she was also stunned.

I never expected that Kamishiro-kun would actually dare to accept a shop like that.

Although the surface conditions are indeed very tempting.

You can take over the entire coffee shop simply by paying rent.

But even that boss isn't making much money.

What makes this guy, Shindai-kun, think he can make money?

Isn't this obviously a losing business?

But that's okay.

Yui Nagasawa felt that Kamishiro-kun was probably still young and didn't know anything about business.

I estimate that once he hits a wall, he'll most likely never have the idea of ​​becoming a chef again.

Yui Nagasawa's mind raced, and she quickly came up with a plan. She suggested:

"can!"

"I can lend you one million yen!"

"But if you fail in running the coffee shop, then you'll have to obediently give up being a chef and come with me to sign a contract to become a star!"

“Okay!” said Shiro Shiro. “Then bring the money to the store tomorrow morning, and I’ll wait for you there.”

Yui Nagasawa smiled brightly: "OK, it's a deal then. I'll be waiting for you there tomorrow."

Subsequently.

After saying goodbye to Bai Feng, Nagasawa Yui immediately went to check on the situation near the coffee shop.

It turned out that it was basically the same as what Bai Feng had said.

It's simply a matter of insufficient customer traffic.

After realizing this situation.

Yui Nagasawa, on the other hand, felt confident of victory.

They weren't worried at all about what kind of trouble Shiro Shiro might cause.

After all, a poor location for a store means that its inherent revenue will not be very good.

But there are not exceptions.
