Okay, it turns out he is a big dog owner...
The waiter had a business-like smile on his face, but MMP started in his heart.
Although it is a coffee shop opened near the private Shenjian School where land is very expensive, the style of this coffee shop is actually not high. At least it is not the kind of high-priced boutique coffee shop. Although it is also hand-ground coffee, it is It is the most affordable among hand-ground coffees, so usually some students from average family backgrounds who have been admitted to private divine schools through hard study will come here to consume. Those students from well-off families will not choose to come here.
So although she worked near the private Shinjen School where rich second-generation students were crowded, the waiter had never served many rich second-generation students. Of course, the student who only ordered a glass of boiled water every time he came was an eye-opener for her.
Regarding the status of the coffee shop, it is not that the owner of the coffee shop has not thought about upgrading the style of the coffee shop and upgrading the coffee shop to a boutique coffee shop. However, in the end, the main source of customers for this coffee shop is still nearby. Students, young students don’t know much about coffee. If they rush to upgrade to a boutique coffee shop and raise the price, they will not only lose the original customer group, but also most likely not attract new customers. Even if some petty bourgeoisie teachers who know the goods are willing to come here to consume. The benefits would be far less than maintaining the status quo. It would be better to just leave it open without making any changes.
If you make less money, make less money. Anyway, the coffee shop store belongs to the coffee shop owner. After excluding the rent expenses that can crush all kinds of shops, this coffee shop is making money anyway. It’s just a little bit. There is really no need to spend it. With so much time and energy spent on industrial upgrading to prepare for a bleak future, if one day the coffee shop owner really wants to be free and achieve financial freedom, he can easily achieve it by selling the store.
The owner of this coffee shop bought it at the bottom when the real estate market collapsed after the bubble economy was burst more than 20 years ago. At that time, Shinjen Private School was just a newly opened ordinary private school. The Beishan family's strong capital injection has not taken off in all aspects, so the price is really a bargain. Until now, although the increase is not as scary as that of Zhongyuan next door, it is still the most cost-effective deal that the coffee shop owner has made in so many years. invest.
"Guest, please wait a minute. I'll get you a cup of coffee right now."
Although he was feeling emotional, the waiter carefully cleaned the table for Natsu Chuan Zhenliang, and then went to bring another cup of coffee for Natsu Chuan Zhenliang.
Natsukawa Masuo continued to hold his chin with one hand and tap the table with the other hand, while carefully eavesdropping on the conversation at the next table.
Only Kasumigaoka Shiu glanced at what happened at Natsukawa Masuo's side. Neither Yan Kai nor Eve responded. Kasumigaoka Shiu only glanced at it. Due to the angle, she did not see clearly the object of the accident. I thought it was just an ordinary waiter accidentally spilling the coffee, so I just glanced at it and quickly looked away.
"Junior, if you don't go to this club or that club, what do you want? I'm helping you out of kindness!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was refuted twice in a row, feeling a little unhappy.
"Sister, don't get me wrong. I definitely don't mean to be ungrateful. It's just that club activities are an important part of school life. I don't want to mess around with them, so I will make my choice seriously and carefully."
Yan Kai said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu very seriously.
"Huh? Are you planning to seriously engage in club activities? I thought you were just planning to join a random club to fool Xuelu!"
Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who was sucking milk tea, choked a little. She thought that even if Yan Kai joined the club, he would just sit in a corner and draw comics in the name of club activities, but it turned out that he was serious?
"Sister, you misunderstood me." Yan Kai pushed up his glasses and said, "I have average qualifications and average talent. If I want to catch up with others, the only thing I can rely on is seriousness and concentration, so I don't plan to do anything. Fool it over.”
Average qualifications? Average talent?
Except for Natsukawa Mareyo who was eavesdropping, Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Eve who heard Yan Kai's words opened their eyes wide and looked at Yan Kai in shock.
Unfathomable martial arts, miraculous cooking skills, extraordinary music, unique painting skills, medical skills that are always said to be "only half a bucket of water"... and there are many more abilities that have not been revealed...
Do you call people like you "average qualifications" and "mediocre talents"? So are we just as stupid as pigs?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was silent at first, then quickly took out her phone and sent a line message to Kitayama Xingyi.
"Sister Xingyi, why does my junior say that he has average qualifications and mediocre talent?"
During the summer vacation, she naturally joined the lines of Xue Wenhai and Beishan Xingyi. The couple actually rarely left contact information, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a friend of Yan Kai, so she was an exception. , but they spend a lot of time in places that are not covered by communication signals. Generally speaking, even if they have their online friends, it takes a certain amount of luck to contact them.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's luck was not bad this time, and she received a reply soon after sending the message.
Kitayama Xingyi first sent a string of ellipses, and then a pig-head expression covering her face in tears.
"Okay, this is the first time I know that Xiaokai evaluates me like this, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that I can't understand it..."
"Shiyu, there are some things I don't want to say too much, but you can just listen to Xiao Kai's nonsense, but don't take it seriously. This kid's talent makes me want to die when I see it at first! I'll die early and be reincarnated. Try to make yourself smarter in the next life... Why does he have the nerve to say that he has "average qualifications" and "mediocre talent"? "
"Isn't my husband talented enough? What it takes him three days to learn can be taught to Xiaokai in just three hours. Although this is also very easy to communicate between my husband and Xiaokai. , it has something to do with the fact that it can save a lot of steps, but Xiaokai's talent is definitely higher than that of my husband. Xiaokai is now younger than my husband, so his accumulation in all aspects is almost meaningless, otherwise he would not be able to surpass my husband in all aspects. Question. Of course, in my heart my husband will always be the most powerful!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu can eat dog food that tastes very sweet even if she asks any questions, and the milk tea in her mouth is no longer sweet at all.
"In short, Xiaokai's understanding of himself is a bit biased. This has a lot to do with his family environment. Just ignore it."
Kitayama Xingyi finally replied to Kasumigaoka Shiyu like this.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought about it and had a new question.
"Sister Xingyi, let me ask again, in the eyes of juniors, are the people around us stupid?"
After Kasumigaoka Shiyu sent this message, Kitayama Xingyi, who was very fast in replying to messages, paused, and then sent a message that didn't match the preface and the follower.
"By the way, my husband and I are currently in southern Yunnan in the Central Plains. Mushrooms in southern Yunnan are the best from June to September. My husband and I come to southern Yunnan to eat mushrooms at this time every year. There are many things this year, so we came late, almost We missed the best time, but fortunately we caught the last train. After we have a good meal, we will send a box of mushrooms to Xiaokai. Shiyu, please remember to take Saeko with you and go to Xiaokai’s place for a mushroom feast!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu smelled the smell of "taking care of others".
Junior, he really treats us as fools, right?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu put away her phone and looked at Yan Kai with a dangerous look.
Wow, you actually treat us like this!
Yan Kai really can't read minds, so now he can only see that Kasumigaoka Shiyu is inexplicably hostile to him. He can't even figure out where he offended Kasumigaoka Shiyu, but considering that Kasumigaoka Shiyu often loses his temper for no reason , Yan Kai has long been used to it.
"Okay, anyway, you are the one who will join the club in the end. You can worry about these things yourself, and I will mind my own business!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu was originally kind-hearted in making suggestions for Yan Kai, but after knowing how Yan Kai viewed her, she instantly lost interest.
I originally planned to solve it myself and didn't want to bother you.
Yan Kai turned these words around in his mouth, but in the end he didn't say them out. He just nodded lightly and said, "I'm sorry, Senior, I'll forget about it."
"Junior, I remembered that I had something else to do, so I left first. You can sit down for a while and then leave."
After chatting with Beishan Xingyi, Kasumigaoka Shiyu immediately lost all thoughts of getting together with Yan Kai. After a few sips of milk tea, she stood up, picked up her schoolbag and was about to leave.
During the summer vacation, Yan Kai was busy with his part-time job and had no time. After Yan Kai had some free time, Kasumigaoka Shiu began to be busy with various competitions, and Busujima Saeko has been busy preparing for the private Kamima School since the end of the competition. Working as an image spokesperson for her family's Busushima-ryu, she was so busy that she rarely had the chance to meet with them.
Originally, today was the first day of school, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu had a lot to say to Yan Kai. After all, chatting online was definitely not as convenient as talking in person, but now, Kasumigaoka Shiyu just wanted to go home and relax.
Yan Kai's comments about her "average qualifications" and "mediocre talents" deeply hurt her, and she needed to slow down.
Although he felt that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a bit insincere, Yan Kai still stood up and sent Kasumigaoka Shiyu off: "Senior, please walk slowly."
Even if they are friends, they should not interfere too much with each other. The self-righteous "for your own good" is not the real "for your own good". Moreover, Yan Kai believes that Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not the kind of childish and incompetent person. If there is anything, he can handle it. She will deal with things she can't handle by herself, and she won't keep her head down and say nothing. If this senior speaks so loudly, she won't become mute at a critical moment, right?
"Well, see you later."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said goodbye to Yan Kai and Eve coldly and left by herself. Before leaving, she didn't forget to pay for the milk tea she ordered.
After Kasumigaoka Shiyu left, Yan Kai drank the boiled water he ordered and left with Eve. Although there was still some time before the start of part-time work, since he had decided to participate in club activities, he was going to Xinchuan Building and At the teahouse, go explain the situation to Manager Kaito and Mr. Kamijou and discuss how to change your part-time working hours.
Although the current economy is relatively affluent, Yan Kai cannot sit still and have nothing to do, nor can he ask the rich woman from the opposite door to support him. He still has to work when he should.
After walking out of the coffee shop, Eve, who was following Yan Kai, whispered to Yan Kai: "Brother Kai, that Xia Chuan is really cool, he has been following us..."
Yan Kai said calmly: "Well, I know, but she is just following us, and this road is not ours. We can't let her follow, right?"
Eve looked very strange.
Speaking of Yan Kai, he injured her when they first met. Although everyone didn't know each other at that time, to attack a woman who was standing in the face of his friend was to remove his arm. This method is considered Looking back now, Eve still feels that Yan Kai is a bit ruthless.
Later, on the way to escort her to Dongda Hospital, Yan Kai killed at least two people without expression. To be honest, in Eve's eyes, Yan Kai at that time was a dangerous person who licked blood from his knife edge and killed without blinking an eye. That kind of thing.
But after getting along for a long time, Eve felt that although Yan Kai was a little indifferent to strangers, he was still very generous to acquaintances. During the summer vacation, he was busy working for Busujima Saeko, and Eve saw all this. , he usually pays great attention to protecting her, and he has not relaxed his attention to her safety just because the limelight has passed. He is a bit cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
And unlike those who feel that they are great because of their strength, Yan Kai is not domineering. He found out from the beginning that even Natsukawa Zhenliang was following him, but he didn't care.
There is nothing shameful about what he wants to do, so why should he be afraid of being followed?
From this aspect, Yan Kai is frighteningly frank and upright, but it also makes Eve feel at ease.
Yan Kai and Eve walked leisurely, which gave Xia Chuan Zhenliang ample opportunity to follow them. It was a pity that she left without taking a sip of the cup of coffee that had just been delivered, although the waiter said that as long as The first cup was her fault at work, but Xia Chuanzhenliang still insisted on paying for two cups, and then continued to follow Yan Kai and the others, and saw Yan Kai walking into Xinchuan Building.
And just when Natsukawa Masuo wanted to enter Xinchuan Building, the receptionist at the door stopped Natsukawa Masuo.
"This classmate, do you have an appointment?"
Because Natsukawa Masuo was wearing the uniform of the private Kamima school, the receptionist's attitude was quite friendly.
"reserve?"
Xia Chuanzhenliang was startled and looked at the sign at the door. It was Xinchuan Building. When did Xinchuan Building become reservation-only?
In the last semester, Xinchuan Building still positioned itself as a high-end Chinese restaurant. Anyone with money could go in at any time. How come it now requires a reservation?
Xia Chuanzhenliang was confused.
"Yes, classmate, our Xinchuan Building has been reservation-only since last month."
As she spoke, the receptionist's back straightened a bit.
Yes, the "new chef" who is the treasure of their Shinkawa Building is a guest lecturer of Totsuki Academy and has done training for Totsuki students. What a status in the world! If Xinchuan Restaurant continues to position itself as a "general high-end Chinese restaurant", it will be a shame for the face Yan Kai has earned for Xinchuan Restaurant!
So after Yan Kai returned from the training camp, Manager Kaito changed his Chiyoda branch to a reservation system without the consent of the main store. All specifications were in line with those of high-end restaurants with Totsuki graduates, and he became famous for a while. It even overshadowed the main store, which was a small improvement.
Xia Chuan Zhenliang rolled his eyes and said with a calm smile: "It turns out that this place is a reservation system. My friend and I made an appointment to eat here, but he didn't make it clear to me. I think he forgot to mention it, but he There should be an appointment.”
"Oh, can you please tell me your friend's name and the box he reserved?"
the receptionist asked politely.
"His name is Yan Kai and he is my classmate. As for the room number, I don't know because he didn't tell me."
What Natsukawa Masuo said seemed to be true.
Hearing Yan Kai's name, the receptionist was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she said with a stiff smile, "Sorry, there is no gentleman named 'Yan Kai' among the guests who made an appointment today. I think you are mistaken. It’s a place.”
nonsense! I slowly saw him walking into your hotel! And why are you so sure that no customer named Yan Kai has made a reservation without even checking?
Natsukawa Zhenliang was sure in an instant that the welcoming lady was lying, but she was also lying, so it would be of no benefit to Natsukawa Zhenliang to expose her. She could only pretend to be shy and said: "Really? I must have made a mistake." , then I won’t disturb you.”
"This classmate, walk slowly!"
The welcoming lady smiled and bowed to Natsukawa Masayo, then immediately turned around and reported the matter to the foreman after Natsukawa Masayo walked away.
In Xinchuan Building, any matter related to the "new chef", no matter how small it is, is a big deal, and it must be reported!
