Today is the first day of the school festival of the private Kamama School.
In the coffee shop outside the private Shinjen School, the manager of the coffee shop was bored and half-leaning on the counter, counting the few customers in the shop.
Although the gate of the private Kamama School, which is only a road away from the coffee shop, is crowded with people, and countless visitors who want to see the legendary "Private Kamima Girls' School" continue to squeeze in, but such a high popularity has not been able to benefit the school. There is a coffee shop opposite the school. The business in the coffee shop is still neither salty nor light. There are customers, but not many.
Well, the business of this coffee shop was originally barely manageable, at least making ends meet, but since for some reason, "water 100 yen" was added to the price list, not to mention new customers, even some regular customers I was persuaded to quit - Don’t look at Japan as a developed country. It is extremely sensitive to the price of goods. If merchants dare to increase the price of some things, customers will not buy it. Therefore, many merchants do not dare to increase prices in order to retain customers. This is one of the main reasons why prices in Japan are so stable. The government cannot achieve inflation no matter how hard it tries.
Originally, the store manager tried every means to win back some customers, even erasing the "water 100 yen" line on the price list, but still had little success.
That's just right.
The store manager resigned herself to her fate, lying down, the display was ruined, the business was just bad, she didn't care.
Anyway, the business quality of the coffee shop has nothing to do with her income. As the store manager, she receives a fixed salary, and the three owners behind the coffee shop do not care about the business quality. The main function of this coffee shop is to make the three people happy. The bosses reminisce about the past years and give the two young ancestors a private space. It is best to make money. It doesn't matter if they don't make money. The three bosses are all owners who are not short of money. No one cares about the coffee shop's losses. This little money dropped.
Speaking of which, the two young ancestors seemed to have said that the big boss would also come this time?
When I think of the big boss of the coffee shop, even if the manager is a woman, I can't help but feel longing for him.
Beautiful, noble, elegant, just as perfect as a goddess! Hey... I really hope that the third boss can learn more from the big boss. They are obviously born to the same parents, so why is there such a big gap? She has a carefree personality and doesn't look like a woman. No wonder she can't get married at such an old age.
The store manager couldn't help but sigh.
Just as the store manager was sighing, there was a slight knocking sound on the counter, followed immediately by a sentence: "Sorry to bother you, please bring me a glass of boiled water."
Hearing these words, a vein popped out of the store manager's forehead.
You're a bastard again. You haven't been here for so many days. I thought you were going to cause trouble elsewhere, but you came again today...
Um? The sound is wrong!
The store manager looked up and realized that the person who said this was not the boy who caused the coffee shop's business to deteriorate, but a very beautiful young woman.
This is so beautiful!
The store manager was stunned for a moment after seeing the person coming. She originally thought that her boss was already the best among women, a perfect goddess, but she didn't expect that the beauty of the young woman in front of her was no less beautiful than the boss. No, let me say something offensive to the boss. , the woman in front of him is even more beautiful than the big boss, after all, she looks much younger than the big boss.
"Sorry to bother you, please give me a glass of boiled water."
The store manager was stunned and did not respond. Xue Wenrong smiled slightly and was not angry. Instead, he repeated what he had just said, with a clear and sweet voice and a gentle and gentle tone.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. Guest, please sit down first. Are you alone?"
The store manager said in a panic.
"Two, I'm waiting for my friend."
Xue Wenrong smiled.
"Okay, no problem." The store manager put on the sweetest smile, turned around and said in a loud voice, "Yingzi, where are you? There are guests here, don't you know how to treat them!"
"Hi, hi, hi, coming, coming..."
A girl in a waiter's uniform walked over, swiping her cell phone with her head down.
The store manager was furious when he saw the girl's lazy look. Sure enough, college students shouldn't be hired to work part-time in order to save money. Girls these days, besides playing with their mobile phones, they just play with their mobile phones. It seems that they can't live without their mobile phones. , not at all as down-to-earth and willing to work as the girls before.
Under the leadership of the girl named "Yingzi", Xue Wenrong found a seat by the window and sat down, then began to wait patiently.
Not long after, the store manager very attentively came over with a cup of steaming boiling water and placed it in front of Xue Wenrong: "Guest, please use it slowly."
Obviously there was someone who always ordered water before, but the store manager always smiled on his face and scolded her in his heart. However, facing Xue Wenrong, the store manager not only brought the water in person, but the smile on his face was also extremely sincere.
Sure enough, people's subjective consciousness is always easily affected by appearance.
"Thanks."
"If you need anything, please say hello."
The store manager bowed to Xue Wenrong.
"Yes, I will."
Xue Wenrong smiled and bowed.
After the store manager left, Xue Wenrong took a sip of water and then waited quietly.
I don't know how much time passed, but an old woman with a silk scarf wrapped around her face entered the coffee shop and declined the store manager's hospitality. The old woman slowly walked to Xue Wenrong, and then sat down opposite Xue Wenrong.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
The old woman sat down and said to Xue Wenrong.
"No, it's me who should say I'm sorry." Xue Wenrong smiled with a hint of helplessness, "You came to visit me in person several times when you came to the Central Plains. On the contrary, it was me who came to Japan, and you still have to take the initiative to come to me. It's me. I should apologize to you."
The old woman pulled off her silk scarf and said with a smile: "I know your difficulties. Based on our friendship, it's better not to say such crude words."
"Okay, Teacher Lantau."
Xue Wenrong said with a smile.
That's right, this old woman covering her face with a silk scarf is none other than the evergreen queen of the Japanese music scene, Lantau Lixue, who is also Xue Wenrong's best friend.
Today is the first day of the school festival of the private Shinjen School. Xue Wenrong did not rush to attend the school festival. Instead, she made an appointment with Lantau Lixue. In fact, if Xue Wenrong's trip to Japan was not strictly restricted, she We should visit Lantau Reisue in person instead of making an appointment to meet Lantau Reisue.
The two have known each other for a very long time, more than thirty years. Although they met only a handful of times during this period, their friendship is very deep.
Many years have passed since the last time they met. Time has passed, but there is no unfamiliarity between the two of them when they talk. The more they chat, the more they become more and more congenial. After chatting for an unknown amount of time, Lantau Reixue suddenly shook her head and said: "Really, you gave up music in the end. It's really true." It’s such a pity…”
There is no doubt that Xue Wenrong is the most talented person in music that she has ever seen. Although Lantau Lixue has met many talented young people in recent years, no one can compare with Xue Wenrong. So when she heard that Xue Wenrong gave up music and chose to inherit the family business, she felt extremely sad.
Xue Wenrong smiled and shook her head: "Teacher Lantau, some people have to bear some responsibilities, but the person who bears them is me. I don't regret the decision I made then."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this. You should be the one suffering the most from giving up music."
Lantau Lixue looked melancholy, and then apologized to Xue Wenrong.
Although a long time has passed, she still remembers the girl who worked as a tour guide for her at the Hudu Conservatory of Music more than 30 years ago. Her love for music was the opportunity for the two to become friends.
Give up your favorite music and then embark on a strange and difficult road. How can others imagine the difficulties and obstacles involved?
People nowadays only see Xue Wenrong as "the best female master in the world" and "the queen of the business world", but who knows that she actually doesn't like those things. She likes to stay away from the hustle and bustle and play the piano quietly by herself. things.
"Oh, by the way, I came to see you this time. In addition to catching up with you, I actually have something to ask you for help with."
Lantau Lixue didn't want to spoil Xue Wenrong's mood, so she deliberately changed the topic.
"whats the matter?"
Xue Wenrong asked.
"There is a young person I admire very much. She is a disciple of the famous pianist Domoto Iwa. A few days ago, two of Domoto Iwa's disciples were killed in an explosion, and another disciple was seriously injured and hospitalized. It really seems like Regarding the premeditated crimes committed by Domoto Ichiwa's disciples, I was afraid that she would also be implicated, so I advised her to temporarily stop music-related activities. However, she has always been very assertive and did not intend to listen to my words, especially Domoto Ichiwa's advice. I built a concert hall, and there will be a concert on the day the concert hall is completed. As a disciple of Domoto Ichiwa, she cannot be absent, so I want to find someone to protect her and protect her from threats."
Lantau Lixue said to Xue Wenrong.
"I am very willing to help, but... you also know my situation. I can't take action easily, and I don't know how long I will be protected. I can only stay in Japan for four days, and there is really nothing I can do to help."
Xue Wenrong said helplessly.
Outside the coffee shop, the two "bodyguards" were still guarding her. If she deviated from her planned itinerary and went somewhere else, they would definitely stop her.
"I know, so I'm not asking you to take action, but I hope your children can help."
Lantau Lixue said to Xue Wenrong.
"Xiao Kai?"
Xue Wenrong was stunned for a moment, but then turned around and thought, indeed, it was much easier for his son to do this kind of thing than for him.
But Lantau Lixue will suddenly mention Yan Kai...
"Teacher Lantu, have you met Xiaokai?"
Xue Wenrong asked.
"Well, that's right."
Lantau Lixue showed a meaningful smile.
"If it's Xiaokai..." Xue Wenrong thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I will talk to Xiaokai, but I can't say whether he will agree. I never like to force children to do things. What."
"Okay, your words are enough."
Lantau Lixue said with a smile.
…………………………
Outside the private divine school, a high-end car was circling back and forth on the road, but it could never find a parking place.
"Madam, I'm sorry, I really can't find a parking place. I think we have to go a little further to park."
The driver was sweating profusely, not from heat, but from nervousness.
The private Kamijian School held a school festival for the first time. Not to mention that the boys from the surrounding schools were as excited as chicken blood and crowded into the private Kamima School. Some parents who wanted their children to apply for the private Kamima School also brought their children with them. I was about to take a look at the private Shenma School. This limousine arrived a little late. The parking spaces around the school were already full of cars, and I really couldn't find a place to park.
In the back seat of the car, a woman wearing a high-end kimono closed her eyes and said calmly: "Then park farther away, you know? When you hesitate, there may be other parking spaces farther away. It’s been taken over.”
"Yes, ma'am, I'm going right away!"
The woman just said something lightly, but the driver was frightened into confusion.
In the Yukinoshita family, everyone knows that if you offend the master, the master has a good temper and is generous, and will not argue with his servants, but if he neglects his wife...
The driver didn't dare to think about it, so he immediately accelerated and drove towards a park not far from the private Shenma School. He had noticed when he came here just now that there seemed to be parking spaces there, and he just hoped that it wouldn't be full of cars now.
The woman had jet-black hair neatly tied behind her head, and her whole body exuded a calm temperament. Even the social master Yukinoshita Harano next to her felt oppressed and did not dare to say much. She only dared to ask softly. : "Mom, if we come here without telling Yukino, will it..."
"I am her mother, do I need her permission to do anything I do?"
Yukinoshita's mother opened her eyes, and a faint pressure instantly enveloped Yukinoshita Harano.
"Yes, mother."
Yukinoshita Yangno didn't dare to say more and immediately shut her mouth obediently.
The real person in charge of the Yukinoshita family, her oppression is even hard for her own daughter to withstand.
After a moment of silence, Yukinoshita's mother broke the silence: "I heard that Yukino has joined a club?"
"Yes, it's called the 'Central Plains Cultural Interest Society'. It was founded by an overseas student from Central Plains. At the same time, he was also the martial artist who saved me in the previous Twin Towers explosion."
Yukinoshita Yono answered honestly.
"Yeah, then it's even more important to go see them."
The path of motherhood under the snow.
After that incident, her little daughter began to become withdrawn and indifferent. She couldn't even get along well with her classmates. This time she actually took the initiative to join the student club. Naturally, she wanted to confirm with her own eyes whether these people were... Will hurt his daughter.
Although in Yukinoshita Yukino's view, she is a superfluous existence in the family. Neither her sister nor her mother likes her. Although her father is good to her, her father's younger brother's position in the family... ah no, his status is really It's hard to explain, that's why she went to Tokyo to go to school because she couldn't stand the atmosphere at home. Since they hate each other, it's better not to see each other.
But in fact, as the youngest daughter in the family, Yukinoshita Yukino can be said to have the exclusive favor of everyone in the family. Both her sister and mother love her the most, but they love Yukinoshita Yukino in a special way. That’s all.
In order to prevent them from being able to help Yukino due to various reasons in the future, they deliberately isolated Yukino so that she could get used to being alone and become strong. As for whether this would make Yukino resentful, they didn't care, because...
For her own good, what does it have to do with her!
