Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

Judging from my own experience, with that woman's intelligence, it is impossible for her not to understand this truth.

"Damn it!"

Matsumoto Arina gritted her teeth and quickly asked Asada Futaba, "Where did he go?"

“When did you leave?

"When can you come back?"

"Um, this..." Asada Futaba hesitated for a few seconds.

During these few seconds, Matsumoto Yuina was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to her in a tender voice: "Asada Futaba!"

"Please recall immediately the reason why I hired you to come to the company!"

After being reminded by Matsumoto Arina, Asada Futaba blinked her eyes under her short hair, and then she remembered that she seemed to be an undercover agent planted by Matsumoto Arina next to Fujii Itsuki.

Why had I been helping that bastard president cover his tracks?

We should quickly catch him and bring him back to work!

"I remember!" Asada Futaba nodded his head vigorously, instantly transforming from a secretary to a guide.

"The president is lazy by nature. During his lunch break, he pushed all the work to me and drove home to rest."

"I had originally intended to resist with all my might and keep in mind the mission entrusted to me by Youcaijiang, but the black-hearted president threatened me with my salary, so I had no choice but to temporarily succumb to his power and help him work overtime in the office."

"Ugh--"

Asada Futaba sighed as she spoke. If you didn't know her, you would think she surpassed Uesugi Asami and was the number one loyal retainer beside Matsumoto Arina.

"ha?!"

"Going home to laze around?"

"That's fine..."

Like the sun after the rain, the anger on Matsumoto Arina's pretty face disappeared and she sat down on the leather sofa in the office.

"As long as you're not going to look for Shimizu Rin, it's fine." She said to Asada Futaba indifferently.

"Why is it related to Shimizu-san?"

"Because of that photo this morning?"

Asada Futaba reacted belatedly, but she did not respond to what Matsumoto Arina said.

Maybe it was because she just wanted to work peacefully and get paid, and didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two.

Although she didn't want to, Matsumoto Arina had no intention of letting her go. Her beautiful eyes looked at Asada Futaba with interest.

"Wouldn't it be a shame if such a good card wasn't used to disgust that woman?"

"Fuye, are you interested in scolding Shimizu Rin?" She said with a curled lip corner, fanning the flames.

"Ah, me?" Asada Futaba's small face with a teardrop mole was slightly stunned.

"Just kidding, I can do it myself."

The war of words in the coffee shop was far from over. Matsumoto Arina took out her cell phone from her pocket, ready to continue her passionate confrontation with Shimizu Rin.

Although Fujii Itsuki has returned home, it does not rule out the possibility that Shimizu Rin, that woman, will go to him in the afternoon and evening to complain about her pity.

So, first of all, we have to point fingers at her from the moral high ground!

[No one would be like a child who can't stand losing and would go to Fujii to complain, right? ]

[Qi Shui-san, why don't you just apologize to me directly? I will forgive you. ]

After a few seconds, Qingshui Lin's reply came.

[Is that so, Matsumoto-san? I can indeed go to the circus to apologize to you. ]

"Ding-dong-"

Just as Matsumoto Arina was frowning and trying to figure out what she meant, a picture of a red-nosed clown suddenly popped up.

……

……

Arakawa-ku, Higashio-ku.

When Matsumoto Arina and Shimizu Rin started to ask each other about their family tree again, Fujii Itsuki drove his Porsche leisurely to Higashio Hisahisa's convenience store.

For the past month, he has been busy worrying about the affairs of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency, and has handed over the convenience store to Asada Ichiyo. As the store manager, he rarely asks about the matter and has no idea how the convenience store is doing.

Fujii Itsuki recognized Asada Ichiyo's abilities, but was afraid that she was stubborn and would get stuck in a rut. When she encountered problems, she would never ask him, her boss, for help, but would try to solve them on her own.

"Ding--"

The automatic glass door made a slight sound, a sound that Fujii Itsuki could hear every day when he worked as a cashier.

He took a step forward and walked in with big strides.

The end of the year is approaching, and all the major schools, companies, government departments, etc. in Tokyo have started their New Year holidays one after another, so the flow of people in convenience stores is much greater than during the Christmas period.

Behind the cashier counter stood a young girl whom Fujii Itsuki did not recognize. She was probably a new employee of Asada Ichiyo. He did not rush to the manager's office at the back of the convenience store, but wandered around for a while like other customers.

Looking at the wide variety of bento boxes and tempting roast chicken in the deli cabinet, Fujii Itsuki was considering whether to buy one for lunch when someone suddenly poked his back with a finger.

"Sorry to bother you..."

Turning around, a short-haired girl wearing a baseball cap and a brown-green employee uniform was standing behind him.

"It's really you, Fujii-senpai!"

The girl's pretty face showed an expression of surprise, and the black teardrop mole under the left corner of her eye looked particularly obvious.

This sound of surprise attracted the attention of not only Fujii Itsuki, but everyone in the store was drawn to the girl.

Asada Ichiha touched her cap a little embarrassedly, while Fujii Itsuki curled his lips as if nothing had happened and greeted her softly, "Long time no see, Ichiha."

"Fujii-senpai, let's go to the store manager's office and talk."

Noticing the gazes of the people around him, Asada Ichiyo somehow found the courage, grabbed Fujii Itsuki's hand and walked to the back of the convenience store.

"Fujii-senpai..."

Feeling the warmth of Fujii Itsuki in the palm of her hand, Asada Ichiha felt itchy in her heart and unconsciously slowed down her pace.

"Senior doesn't seem to mind."

If Fujii Itsuki could read minds, he would probably say nonchalantly: What's there to worry about?

If there was no wooden barrel in the vice president's office, Fujii Itsuki would have wanted to ask her sister Futaba Asada to help him soak his feet every day when he was tired from work.

……

"Click——"

I returned to the store manager's office after not visiting for a month. The desk and chair were cleaned and the books and forms on the desk were neatly arranged. It was obvious that Asada Ichiha was very dedicated to her job.

He reluctantly let go of Fujii Itsuki's hand, with the warmth of the other person still lingering in his palm.

Asada Ichiyo guessed that Fujii Itsuki was here to inspect the convenience store, so he took the initiative to walk to the desk, opened the drawer and took out the account book.

As business was the only thing on the table, Fujii Itsuki did not refuse and flipped through the book in front of Asada Ichiyo.

In a thick cover book about the size of an A4 paper, the girl's handwriting is beautiful and densely recorded with essential information such as daily revenue, purchases, shortages, etc.

Fujii Itsuki was concentrating on looking at the account book, while Asada Ichiyo was staring at him in a trance.

His eyes swept across Fujii Itsuki's eyebrows, nose, lips, and from his chin all the way to his dark jacket.

"Fujii-senpai..."

Asada Ichiha murmured quietly in her heart.

The short separation did not weaken her morbid obsession. Instead, meeting him again at this moment made the emotion called "possessiveness" more intense.

Just as Asada Ichiyo's gaze became increasingly hot and he stared at Fujii Itsuki's cheek, the boy turned to the last page of the account book.

“Hey, this month’s net profit actually increased by 10%!”

Fujii Itsuki's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Great job, Yiye!"

The sudden praise made Asada Ichiyo's eyes instantly clear, and a hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face.

"You're too kind, Fujii-senpai." She lowered her head slightly with great humility.

"I just run it according to the method my predecessors taught me."

"It's just a compliment, I'm telling the truth..." Fujii Itsuki smiled slightly, his eyes full of admiration.

"Much better than your twin sister who can't even give a massage."

"How about firing her and letting you be my secretary, Yiye?"

Of course, Fujii Itsuki was just thinking about this and would not say it out loud.

If Yiye becomes a secretary, then who will manage the convenience store for him?

Besides, Erye just doesn't know how to take care of people, but her ability to handle work is beyond doubt, otherwise Fujii Itsuki wouldn't have pushed all the work to her and drove off work first.

"Yiye, you should have received your year-end bonus this year."

Merit must be rewarded. Whether in a convenience store or in Matsumoto Entertainment Agency, Fujii Itsuki is never stingy with bonuses for his subordinates.

Even though Futaba Asada was a woman who had a grudge against him in the past, Fujii Itsuki also credited Futaba Asada for the fraud in KB Agency's CD sales and increased her bonus and salary.

"I got it, a total of 400,000 yen!" Asada Ichiyo's beautiful eyes under her short hair flashed with gratitude, and she bowed deeply to Fujii Itsuki.

Four hundred thousand yen, which is roughly equivalent to half a year's tuition for my younger sister Futaba.

"By the way, Senior Fujii..." She seemed to remember something and spoke softly, "I hired a new cashier according to Senior's instructions."

"Yes, that's the one outside, right?" Fujii Itsuki said, "Hmm," and then asked, "Has the store encountered no problems during this period?"

"For example, fire protection, water and electricity, supply, etc."

"There is indeed a problem..." Asada Ichiha pondered for a while.

“But it’s basically all resolved.”

"It's just that suppliers sometimes fail to deliver goods on time, with a delay of two or three days. When I report this to them, they say they don't have enough human resources."

"Okay, I got it." Fujii Itsuki said as he took out his cell phone in front of Asada Ichiyo and typed a few lines on Line.

Asada Ichiha originally thought that he had received the message temporarily and replied to someone else, but she didn't expect that when the Line "ding dong" sounded, Fujii Itsuki told her directly: "Okay, the problem has been solved."

"Solved...solved?" Upon hearing this, Asada Ichiha's pretty face was full of question marks, even though she only saw Fujii Itsuki moving his fingers.

"The so-called lack of human resources is just that the delivery department saw that you were young and thought you were willing to suffer in silence, so they gave priority to delivering to other convenience stores."

Fujii Itsuki patiently explained to Asada Ichiyo: "...So I reported the problem directly to their manager."

"And tell him in a serious tone that it is written in black and white in the contract that if the delivery is not timely next time, they must compensate for the delay!"

"Sometimes, if you don't take it seriously, they will just think you're easy to bully, okay?"

"Yeah!" Asada Ichiha nodded firmly, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Fujii Itsuki.

"Senior, you are worthy of being a senior..."

"Come on, Yiye!"

After patting Asada Ichiyo's shoulder as if to encourage her, Fujii Itsuki bought some prepared food and drinks in the store and then left the convenience store.

……

……

Arakawa Ward, Minamisenju.

On Fujii's side, not long after returning from Bunkyo Ward, Shimizu Rin received a provocative line from Matsumoto Arina.

What is "crying and complaining"? How could she not appreciate such a low-level way of provoking someone?

However, given Shimizu Rin's own cold personality, she would not ask Fujii Itsuki for help in poaching Matsumoto Arina.

After all, this involves a woman's dignity!

On the other end of the line, a guy named Matsumoto Arina was still chattering.
