In the manager's office of Shinkawa Building, Manager Kaito hummed majestically after listening to the foreman's report about Natsukawa Masayo, and then put down the phone.
Yan Kai, who was standing in front of him, saw it and asked: "Is it done? Then let's continue talking."
"Okay, Yan Sang." As soon as Manager Haiteng finished saying these words, he immediately landed like a tiger and threw himself at Yan Kai's feet like lightning. He hugged Yan Kai's thigh with tears and snot flowing out: "Yan Kai Sang, you can't do this, Yan Sang! You can't shorten your working hours!"
The overly excited Manager Kaito had tears and snot sticking to Yan Kai's trousers, which made Yan Kai frown. However, considering that this was work clothes, after Yan Kai took them off after work, people from Xinchuan Building were responsible for cleaning them. , there was no need for Yan Kai to do it himself, so Yan Kai endured it.
"Manager Kaito, our contract back then clearly stated that if there is any unavoidable situation on my side, I have the right to request a readjustment of the contract. If you find it unacceptable, you also have the right to terminate the contract."
Yan Kai resisted the urge to kick Manager Haito away and said to him pleasantly.
No contract is static, especially if you can afford the cost of breach of contract. Although the saying "agreements are meant to be broken" is a bit too arbitrary, in business cooperation, basically no contract will contain a single word. It will be maintained until the end without changing it, and Yan Kai left himself a lot of autonomy when he signed the contract. He can adjust working hours according to personal circumstances and it is within the scope of the contract.
After all, he is the future heir of Shanhai Group, so it is impossible to trap Yan Kai in the contract.
Contract termination? Am I crazy!
Manager Haito held Yan Kai's thigh and did not let go. He just cried, hoping to use his tears to arouse Yan Kai's sympathy, so that Yan Kai had to compromise with him.
Feeling that his trousers were almost soaked, Yan Kai said helplessly: "Manager Haiteng, I just ask to shorten the working time and move it to 6 to 7 pm. In terms of salary, I will not take advantage of you. , I’m willing to cut it in half, I’m not being unreasonable, right?”
You are not only being unreasonable, you are ruthless and cold! Is this a money issue? I am willing to increase my salary tenfold, but can you even double your working hours?
Manager Kaito screamed in his heart, but in reality, he could only continue to hold Yan Kai's lap and cry.
After all, Manager Haito also knows that Yan Kai is unique and necessary to him, but he is nothing in front of Yan Kai. The only one who can make Yan Kai take care of him is that he has been licking her day and night during this period of cooperation. The feelings that came out were his only capital, so now was no longer the time for him to care about his face. He cried hard and how miserably he cried. Anyway, he usually didn't have much dignity here in Yan Kai.
"stand up!"
Yan Kai's voice became thicker, and Manager Kaito, who was already ready to stalk him, jumped up from the ground in a hurry as if he had been stabbed by a needle. His tears and snot that burst like a dam also shrank back, but he was still there. He looked at Yan Kai with a very aggrieved expression.
Yan Kai sighed and said: "It's not that I want to break the contract, it's just that the school requires me to find a club to join. After all, my job is to be a student, so at this point, I cannot violate the school's reasonable requirements."
Manager Kaito was very angry and wanted to put pressure on Yan Kai's school and donate one or two teaching buildings to see if the school dared to delay Yan Sang's working time, but he soon remembered that Yan Kai's school was private. The chairman of Kamama School is Kirika Kuzuha, the head of the Kuzuha Foundation, and the chairman is a big shot from the Kitayama family. The private Kamama School is equivalent to the private property of these two families. Famous alumni return to the school to donate from time to time. But there has never been anyone outside the school interfering in the school's operations. Whether it's Kirika Kuzuba or a big shot in the Kitayama family, they can crush Manager Kaito to death with just one finger. Manager Kaito, who wanted to understand the stakes, instantly withered. Go down.
Yan Kai couldn't persuade Yan Kai, and the school couldn't afford to offend him. Manager Kaito was completely fooled.
Fortunately, although Manager Kaito cried miserably, there was actually a lot of room for change. With Yan Kai's cooking speed, not to mention one hour, half an hour was enough for him to complete more than eight dishes, enough to cope with those reservations. The dignitary who took over Yan Kai's dishes actually lost only his time to supervise and guide the chefs in the back kitchen of Xinchuan House. This loss was actually quite limited.
However, the limit is the limit, so you still have to cry. Otherwise, if Yan Kai thinks it can be reduced, what should he do if it is reduced by half?
Manager Kaito's ability to become the head of a store depends not only on his kneeling skills, but also on his scheming.
In short, after a fierce performance, Manager Kaito reluctantly agreed to Yan Kai's request to change the contract and changed Yan Kai's working hours to every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 to 7 p.m. , as for the number of dishes that need to be cooked, remains unchanged, and a supplementary clause has been added. Yan Kai is obliged to help even during non-working hours, when Xinchuan Restaurant encounters difficult diners or when a cook comes to kick the restaurant. Xinchuanlou weathered the storm.
Although the supplementary terms are very flexible, adjusting the contract is Yan Kai's request after all. Manager Kaito has already cut his working hours in half, so Yan Kai can only agree to the supplementary terms in return.
As for salary, Manager Kaito wanted to keep the original salary or even increase the price. He couldn't ask for it. He just thought that the money given to Yan Kai was less, but Yan Kai still insisted on cutting the salary in half. He didn't like to take advantage of others. If he promised Manager Kaito that his salary would remain unchanged, it would become a debt he owed to Shinkawa Tower.
Of course Yan Kai doesn't know that the benefits he brings to Xinchuan Tower are completely incomparable with his salary of 501,000,000 yuan a month, but he has this temper. He only wants the part he needs, and he doesn't want any more.
Because Kasumigaoka Shiyu refused Yan Kai's offer of money as a reward, and Ajiu had a wealthy woman, Mikado Ryoko, who was responsible for raising him, Yan Kai's income from part-time work actually exceeded his daily needs, and his monthly income from part-time work was much more than his expenses.
Most people would be happy to die if they encountered this kind of situation, but Yan Kai felt that this was not good.
When you have a surplus of money in exchange for time, you should appropriately reduce the time you exchange for money and let more time belong to yourself.
Yan Kai had originally planned to cut his salary and work hours to free up more time for himself, but it was difficult to open his mouth due to human feelings. After all, both Manager Kaito and Mr. Kamijou were very interested in Yan Kai, who had just arrived in Japan. They helped a lot. Apart from the most basic employment relationship, the two of them still had some friendship with Yan Kai. They broke the contract with them rashly and Yan Kai couldn't open the business. Now Yan Kai suddenly has many club activities to participate in. This has become an excellent opportunity, although this opportunity is not cute.
The next day, Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to be caught up in something. After school, he did not hold a gathering at the coffee shop as usual. Although Yan Kai was confused, he still felt that for a person like Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was very opinionated, it was better to It was best not to interfere too much. Before she spoke, Yan Kai did not intend to disturb her, so he went directly to the teahouse after school and revised the contract with Mr. Kamijou.
By the way, Natsu Chuan Zhenliang, who was following Yan Kai again, was stopped by the service staff of the tea house this time. The tea house is a membership system and is more difficult to enter than Xinchuan Restaurant. This made Natsu Chuan Zhenliang angry and attacked Yan Kai. I became even more curious about my true identity.
Needless to say, Shinkawa Restaurant is the most popular high-end restaurant in Tokyo these days. Although the teahouse is not well-known, she asked her father’s secretary to check it out, and her father’s secretary lowered her voice and told Natsukawa Maryo that behind the teahouse The water is very deep, so Xia Chuanzhenliang should not mess around.
Neither of these two places can be entered by ordinary people at will, but Yan Kai went to this place today and to that place yesterday without any obstruction. Isn't this suspicious? Isn’t that enough to arouse Natsukawa Malyo’s curiosity?
Compared to Manager Kaito, the atmosphere during the discussion between Yan Kai and Mr. Kamijou was much better.
Mr. Kamijou is a decent man. Even if he doesn’t want Yan Kai to shorten his working hours, he will definitely not behave like Manager Kaito and wallow in Yan Kai. After thinking about it, he easily agreed to Yan Kai’s request. But he also put forward a condition to Yan Kai - when Yan Kai has free time, he needs to go to the venue he prepared to play a few songs for him and his guests. The number of times will not be many, only three times a month at most, and each time. It won't take more than an hour.
As long as Yan Kai agrees, Mr. Kamijou is also willing to pay "special overtime pay" of one million yen each time.
The conditions were very reasonable, even generous, and Yan Kai agreed without any hesitation.
For a person of status like Mr. Kamijou, money is really just a number. It doesn’t matter how much you invest in your hobbies. And Yan Kai is also a young man he admires very much. He knows how to advance and retreat in a principled way, and he is not as young as he is today. People are impetuous, but they do not waver in their original aspirations when faced with huge profits. Faced with such a young talent, Mr. Kamijou is very willing to maintain friendship with Yan Kai.
As an inspirational businessman who started from scratch and started from the bottom, Mr. Kamijou's business philosophy is "win-win cooperation". He is good at finding common interests with partners and has a kind attitude towards people. After all, does kindness make money?
At this point, Yan Kai finally made time for club activities for himself, and then it was time to prepare to find a suitable club.
…………………………
Lying on the bed doing nothing, Kasumigaoka Shiha, who was in a bad mood, sent a line to Busujima Saeko out of boredom.
"Zezi, my junior said that I have "average qualifications and mediocre talent"..."
Kasumigaoka Shiu waited for a long time before receiving a reply from Busujima Saeko. Busujima Saeko first sent a wry smile, and then the text.
"Mediocre qualifications, mediocre talent... these words are really hurtful..."
When she sent this text, Busujima Saeko, who had just finished practicing, had the same expression on her face as the one she sent, which was a wry smile.
"Right, that makes us look like fools!"
Feeling recognized, Kasumigaoka Shiu replied excitedly.
"Yes, I obviously practice hard every day, but I am vulnerable when facing Kaijun. Now that he actually talks about me like that, am I not a big fool!"
Busujima Saeko was also a little upset.
The two sixteen-year-old girls started to complain to each other.
"...But, I think if it is Kaijun, he must really think that he has "average qualifications and mediocre talent" to say such a thing. After all, even for an ordinary person, it is very difficult to admit that he is mediocre. Kaijun has such a perception of unwillingness. I think it’s not Kaijun’s own problem, and I don’t think Kaijun is lying to you. I think he won’t lie to us.”
After the initial complaint, Busujima Saeko began to think about Yan Kai again.
"Zezi, you are speaking for your junior again. Really, you are always like this! And what do you mean by not being able to lie to us? Didn't he lie to us about getting hurt before? Have you forgotten this?"
Busujima Saeko's anger quickly subsided, but Kasumigaoka Shiu was not as easy to talk to as Busujima Saeko, and she began to unravel Yankai's dark history.
"But Kai-kun also apologized to us, didn't he?"
Busujima Saeko smiled and replied to Kasumigaoka Shiu.
"...Okay, it is indeed..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu replied helplessly.
After Busujima Saeko's advice, Kasumigaoka Shiu began to face up to the past. Yan Kai did hide a lot from them, but he would never deceive them. The only time he revealed it himself was when he took the initiative to give a very generous salary. Compensation, for such an honest man, to be honest, it completely subverted her perception of men telling lies. Kasumigaoka Shiyu was angry just because Yan Kai thought she had "average qualifications and average talent". It seemed to be her fault. .
But it's normal. Kasumigaoka Shiyu is a person who likes to get into trouble. It's reasonable to be like this, but it's okay to talk about it.
"No, I'd better ask Sister Xingyi again!"
Kasumigaoka Shiha sent a multi-person chat invitation to Kitayama Xingyi and Busujima Saeko. Kitayama Xingyi seemed to be free, so the invitation was approved immediately.
"Kitayama Xingyi: Shiyu, Saeko, good evening!"
"Kasumigaoka Shiyu: Hello, Sister Xingyi, are you still in southern Yunnan?"
"Beishan Xingyi: Here I am, right now I am attending a bonfire party in a Miao village. Ah Hai is singing folk songs with the people in the village. It's so lively! I will post some pictures to Moments later, you can take a look. "
Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but feel strong envy. The life of this couple is really colorful. No wonder they can write such thought-provoking novels. Thinking about herself again, hey, maybe she should travel more in the future. Go check it out.
"Bujima Saeko: But Sister Xingyi, the Miao villages should all be in the mountains, right? How come you have a signal there?"
"Beishan Xingyi: You're laughing me to death, Xizi, you don't seem to have figured out one thing. In the Central Plains, even in the mountains, places without signals are rarer than places with signals. The Miao people's cottages are indeed in the mountains. But there is a signal base station next to their cottage! And because there are few people, my mobile phone signal is good! (≧∇≦)ﾉ」
Busujima Saeko and even Kasumigaoka Shiu fell silent.
Yes, they have forgotten that the Central Plains next door is an infrastructure maniac, with obsessive-compulsive disorder in their eyes. If there is any place on the national map that is not covered by the signal, they feel uncomfortable all over.
Thinking about the poor signal coverage in my own country, and the "isolated islands at sea" and "isolated islands on land" that appear frequently in mystery novels, I feel that many of the seamless and perfect murderous layouts in Japanese mystery novels simply cannot work in the Central Plains... …
