Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

When the other two hosts saw that their bosses were being ignored, they became even more silent.

Everyone present noticed that Hojo Rie sat silently in her seat, watching the back of Kamishiro Hakufu who was cooking.

Yui Nagasawa noticed this scene and felt somewhat embarrassed.

Why isn't Hojo Riko saying anything?

What exactly are they here for?

However, if we don't treat her well now, something terrible might happen!

As Nagasawa Yui was thinking this, she noticed that Mizuno Maki and Watanabe Hina were also looking at her, who was closest to Hojo Rie, with some trepidation.

It was as if they were saying that the two of them couldn't handle this person.

You're too old, you do it!

Yui Nagasawa's lips twitched slightly, then she turned to look at Shiro Kaede, who was still cooking with her back to them, completely unaware of what was happening.

She took a deep breath in exasperation, then took off her sunglasses, forced a smile, and stood in front of Hojo Riko, greeting her:

"Good evening, Director Hojo!"

"What would you like to order?"

Hojo Riki's eyes moved but her head remained still. She glanced sideways at Nagasawa Yui, her brows slowly furrowing, and she let out a cold snort.

That single cold snort startled Yui Nagasawa, causing her right eyelid to twitch wildly, as if telling her that she was facing a terrible omen.

But in front of such a person, Yui Nagasawa could do nothing but twitch her lips and continue to force a smile.

She had absolutely no idea what she had done to provoke Hojo Rie.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what I said.

I haven't had much contact with this person before, so why is he giving me such a cold shoulder?

Not only Nagasawa Yui, but everyone else present was also startled when they heard Hojo Riko's cold snort, their delicate bodies trembling as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Only Shiro Kaede, Chitanda Mirai, and Urahara Junko were not frightened.

But Chitanda Mirai also looked at Hojo Riko with a serious expression, frantically speculating in her mind about the purpose of her visit.

Meanwhile, Junko Urahara, who had been making coffee the whole time, didn't look at Riko Hojo. Instead, she kept her sharp gaze fixed on the two bodyguards, remaining constantly vigilant towards them.

The two bodyguards had obviously noticed Junko Urahara's presence. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes behind their sunglasses were watching her very warily.

The atmosphere in the coffee shop suddenly became even colder and more frightening.

Even those in the booths seemed to sense that something was off and turned to look over.

However, because of the two tall bodyguards blocking their view, they couldn't see who was sitting in that seat at all.

At this moment, a sudden remark from Shiro Shiro broke the cold atmosphere. He turned around and asked:

"Oh, by the way, Ms. Yuriko Sunaga, how spicy can your Mapo Tofu be?"

"Do you want it a little spicy?"

But when Shiro Shiro turned around, everyone was looking at him with concern, afraid that he would say something wrong and offend Hojo Riko.

After all, this person is unpredictable, and no one can fathom the temperament of such an important figure.

Even Chitanda Mirai is the same.

Although her family was indeed very close to the Hojo family.

But that's not something I can access right now.

Someone as young as her has no right to spout nonsense in front of such a person.

Even when we meet normally, we only exchange greetings at most.

Apart from that, she didn't actually chat with Director Hojo very often.

Furthermore, Chitanda Mirai was indeed aware that some people had never appeared in Japan again after saying the wrong thing in front of Director Hojo!

If it were in front of Kirisa, Chitanda Mirai could stand on equal footing with her as an equal.

But when it comes to this person, apart from the elders in her family who can handle him, she really doesn't have many other options.

Therefore, even Chitanda Mirai was very worried that Shiro Shiro would say the wrong thing.

When Shiro Kaede saw Hojo Riko arrive, she simply blinked and greeted her as usual:

"Good evening, Director Hojo. What would you like to eat tonight?"

Just when everyone thought Hojo Riko would continue to ignore Shirakaze.

She unexpectedly spoke up.

Hojo Riko pointed to the dishes being prepared behind him and asked indifferently, "Are they making Mapo Tofu over there?"

“Yes.” Shiro Shiro nodded.

Hojo Riko said, "Then give me a plate of Mapo Tofu, and remember to make it spicy."

"No way!" Kamishiro Shiro shook his head.

His refusal immediately startled those around him.

Even Izumi Kokomi, a high-ranking executive at TV Tokyo, felt her right eyelid twitch wildly after hearing this.

I think you, Kamishiro-kun, are really fearless like a newborn calf!

Does he really not know what kind of background Hojo Riko has?

The people at the top rose to power partly because of this person.

It can be said that as long as this person doesn't go too far, those above will just turn a blind eye.

It's safe to say they have absolute power!

Besides, it's just Mapo Tofu, nothing expensive!

She wants to eat Mapo Tofu, so just let her have it!

Why refuse?

If you refuse to upset others, you're really doomed!

It wasn't just Izumi Kokomi who thought this way; everyone else did too.

Even Chitanda Mirai looked serious, as if she could already see Hojo Riko's angry face, and was constantly thinking in her mind what to say to salvage the situation.

Surprisingly, Hojo Riko wasn't angry at all. She just frowned and asked Bai Feng, "Why not?"

"Because this Mapo Tofu was custom-made by her, if you want to eat it, you'll have to ask Ms. Sunaga Yuriko next to you," Shiro Shiro said, gesturing to Sunaga Yuriko.

Yuriko Sunaga's eyes widened in shock, filled with panic!

Are you passing the topic to me?

real or fake? !

Finished!

What to do now?

How did the topic suddenly turn to me?

She didn't intend to provoke Hojo Riko!

But now the conversation is all about me, so I have no choice but to stay out of it!

Yuriko Sunaga turned her head shakily to look at Riko Hojo, only to see that the man was staring at her with those cold and ruthless eyes.

Although he didn't say a word, his expression seemed to command her to speak.

She was terrified and immediately nodded frantically like a chick pecking at food:

"Yes, yes!!!"

"sure!!!"

"Director Hojo can eat as much as he wants, no matter how spicy!!!"

"That's what she said." Hojo Riko turned her head and looked at Bai Feng calmly.

Kamishiro Shiro nodded and said, "I understand. Besides food, is there anything else you'd like to drink?"

"Give me a black coffee, I want it made by you."

"OK."

"But is your Mapo Tofu authentic?"

"Of course, I had already thoroughly researched Mapo Tofu a few days ago. I can say that no one here knows more about authentic Mapo Tofu than me!"

Shiro Shiro's words silenced Hojo Riko and the others.

You're a high school freshman, and you figured out how to make Mapo Tofu a few days ago?

Are you serious?

"I hope you won't disappoint me." Hojo Rie said, then closed her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Shiro Shiro didn't say anything and continued making Mapo Tofu.

After Shiro Kaede stopped speaking, the atmosphere fell silent once again.

No one spoke again.

Everyone was watching as Shiro Kaede calmly made Mapo Tofu and black coffee.

The calmer Bai Feng remained, the more flustered Suga Yuriko, Izumi Kokomi, and Aibe Shino became!

All three of them felt that this time they were doomed!

After all, in their minds, Shiro Shiro is only a first-year high school student, so how could he possibly know how to make authentic Mapo Tofu?

And he even made outrageous claims, saying that he had figured out Mapo Tofu a few days ago?

That's absolutely suicidal!

Even seasoned chefs in China wouldn't dare say they've mastered Mapo Tofu, how dare you, a high school freshman, say that?

It's amazing!
