"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Celestial Seniors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info."

Satsuki kept bowing her head and apologized to Doudou, who came to work at noon, for what happened last night.

"Well! Yesterday was a terrible day, but I don't care about it now."

"Really?"

Satsuki couldn't believe it, or didn't believe it at all.

"Huh?! Well, I do care a little about that bucket."

"I'm really sorry. If it weren't for me, Senior Tianyu wouldn't have suffered such a thing."

"That. I really don't need to apologize, and it's time to go to work now."

Although she forgave her with a smile, Satsuki's face was still flushed and she couldn't look directly at Tianyu's face.

However, after finally appeasing Satsuki, I walked into the store with her-

「…… Huh?"

After glancing into the store, he frowned. Even Satsuki, who was hot all over her body because she was embarrassed, immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Doudou's work time is basically 7 o'clock in the morning. However, because last night was too strange an experience, I delayed coming until noon. But none of that matters, what matters!!

Since Mak Kee is located between a residential and commercial area, it will be a mess from this time onwards because of lunchtime, but today there is no sign of the usual mixture.

The manager of the Hiyasu nightclub stood at the counter with a smile on his face, and behind him was the pale and distant morning school clerk. Just like that, Doudou knows what's going on.

The smiling face that seemed to be pasted on the night was a unique sight when she was troubled by the lack of turnover.

"Morning, good morning......

"It's so deserted."

"Refers to...... Now?"

Facing Doudou, who asked out loud with trembling, Fei Suya replied in a stiff tone!!

"In the six hours since we opened in the morning, we've fallen behind Ken Remember in the total number of visitors."

"Huh?"

"The number of visitors is only 80% of what it was yesterday. I wonder if it's a hateful Ken Kee has some kind of trick up his sleeve."

Even for newly opened competitors, this argument is too troublesome. What's more, if it was eighty percent yesterday, then it could also be caused by factors such as weather or week, but it seems that only this time, Fei Suye is convinced that the reason is Ken Ji.

By the way. Ken Kee opened just across the street from Mak Kee, and they've been renovating the store since a few days ago. and the promotion of the periphery.

Looks like they're planning to open today!!

The manager of the Hijuku night store has always regarded them as enemies from the time they were ready to open, and has lectured them more than once. Ask all members to work together to defeat Kenji!! But it doesn't seem to be going well!!

"Why...... Why do I have to start on-the-job training on such days!!

Fei Su's roar when he kept his smile on his face shook the employees on the morning shift.

"It's a nightmare just to imagine, but let's say the number of visitors at each time of day remains at this pace......

The store manager glanced around at Doudou, Satsuki, and all the employees in turn. It's obviously a smile, but for some reason it makes people feel creepy.

"You don't want to be a new dish, do you? Yes? Acting store manager, Tianyu."

"Yes, I don't want to go!"

Doudou didn't expect that as a former god, he could actually experience the feeling of a frog being targeted by a snake.

Fei Suye put his hand on Doudou's shoulders across the counter, his eyes shining like beasts hungry for blood.

"I allow you. It doesn't matter what means are used. Knock me down Kenji."

"Obey !!"

Not only Doudou, but even Satsuki and the employees also straightened their posture and saluted with Yinghe.

Of course, the so-called unscrupulous means means to find ways to increase the turnover of Mak Kee within the scope of regular return, not to destroy Ken Kee through physical means.

Although it has reached the peak of lunchtime, the crowds in the store are still hardly peaky, but the new store of Ken Kee Fried Chicken is a brisk business from a distance.

As the mascot of Ken Kee's fried chicken restaurant, and the bearded old gentleman puppet decorated in each branch, Grandpa's smile is really hateful.

After leaving the store with a ghost-like expression on his face, all the members breathed a sigh of relief.

Subconsciously pushed away the seat next to him and sat on it, looking at the crowded opposite store lightly. I subconsciously scratched my cheeks, how could it be possible to defeat the other party! But I seem to have forgotten one thing, what is it!?

？？？？？

Ahh!!!h

Doudou suddenly screamed. All the frightened members next to him looked at him in surprise!!

But at this moment, Doudou doesn't care about whether it will be regarded as a neuropathy.

Because, because, because!!

When exactly was I appointed as the acting store manager!!

Hold your head firmly. I totally fell for it. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the store manager to regret it, it's here! With the current situation, it can be said that it is almost impossible to carry out a counterattack! In other words, the store manager is planning to send me to become a substitute for the dead!!

No, it's all the sinister smile of the store manager in my head!!

Ahh!!h It's over!!

……

……

"Celestial Senior! Are you alright?!"

Xiao Yue looked at Doudou with some concern and said!!

Not good!! If you go on like this, you'll be completely hit.,Although I always feel that there may be no hope.,But no matter what, you still have to try it once!!

At the very least, we must achieve turnover that will not be made into a dish!

"I'm fine, the war is only about to start now!!"

Clench your fists firmly. Then he glanced at all the members at once.

"Celestial Senior! Get serious."

Beanie has increased the amount of money that won't be blamed, and sells milkshakes in cooler boxes at the store's entrance. In addition, Satsuki and other employees are also actively instructed to attract customers by offering a limited-time free coffee refill event. Occasionally, he would walk out of the store and try his best to solicit customers.

But these efforts were in vain, and at the time of checkout at 2 p.m., the number of visitors showed that it was only 70% of the guests from yesterday.

"Well, it's miserable...... That's it for the first day......

Not only Doudou, but even Satsuki and the rest of the staff think so.

Although it is not without customers, this figure is still unacceptable to the manager of the Hijuku night, who is extremely hostile to Kenji Fried Chicken.

Just when the air conditioner was a little too strong brought physical and mental cold to all the employees, the words "new menu" came to their minds.

……

"Welcome!"

Doudou shouted quickly. Automatic doors open and new guests arrive.

The man walked straight to the counter and said:

"I'm sorry to interrupt me in the middle of my busy schedule. Is the store manager there?"

The other party was a thin man he didn't know. He has red hair that is completely different from his usual black hair, and he looks like a normal white-collar worker in terms of clothing.

Since Doudou knows all the management cadres related to the business district, the man must be a salesman from other places.

Because the store manager is not there, Doudou thinks that this is the time for himself to appear as the temporary person in charge and is motivated.

No way. To be honest, I really don't want to be contaminated with a character like this.,But there's really no way.。。

Squinting at the employee, who was puzzled by the sudden request, he walked out of the counter and walked over to the man.

"I'm sorry. The store manager, Fei Su, is not here today. I'm the interim head bean here, no! It's Li Tianyu. If you can do something for me, please don't hesitate to advise."

The man raised his eyebrows somewhat exaggeratedly.

"So you're Mr. Tianyu, I've heard rumors about you."

Objectively, the short man obviously looked up at Zhenao from the bottom up, but the tone of his speech was like a towering one.

"It is said that you are a hardworking, excellent, and tolerant person who does not live up to your name, and who is very human in every way."

"Uh-huh...... Thank you for the compliment."

What does it mean to be inconsistent? Why does it feel like irony? Honestly, things like sneaking around between work, I do it a lot. No matter how you think about it, it's really not related to hard work.

"Well, excuse me, where have we met?!"

Let's not talk about anything else. knows that the current Doudou is just a clerk working in a fast food restaurant, so where did the man hear the rumors of Tianyu before?

"No, we haven't met."

The thin man smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

"But I've known about you since a long time ago."

Looks like a troublesome guy. The thought of faux pas came to Doudou's mind.

At this time, the man who met for the first time tapped his hand as if he suddenly remembered something.

"I'm sorry, I introduced myself too late. I'm in this business."

After the man finished speaking, he took out the business card box from his inner pocket, took out one and handed it to Doudou.

I saluted straight and took the card with both hands, frozen in surprise at the sight of the man's title.

"You're from Kenji's fried chicken restaurant...... The store manager......

The employees of Mai Kee were immediately shaken.

"My name is Positive Flame. From now on, it's your neighbors on the other side, so please give me a lot of advice."

The short man, who called himself Flame, smiled lightly and scratched his head.

"Actually, I should have come early to say hello, but I just couldn't spare the time, I'm sorry to be here so late."

Doudou felt a spark erupt deep in his brain. This guy is here to provoke! The stage is here to provoke!!

"But it's a good city! Located between the residential area and the commercial area, not only is the consumer group very rich, but the girls are also very beautiful. It's really admirable that Mak Kee has been opening here so early."

「…… Huh?"

Satsuki, who was behind Doudou, muttered in surprise.

"Even though we had an unprecedented success on the first day of our opening, I was able to find the time to visit us until now, but I feel relieved that even if you ask me to say hello."

Seeing that the other party was going around in circles to ridicule the turnover of the store, Doudou clearly heard the sound of the strings breaking in his head, and he was already very nervous about the turnover, and this guy was still adding fuel to the fire here!!

「…… I'm sorry, but the number of visitors to our store today is really not ideal. But that's why we're able to say hello to you."

But Doudou, who is the interim head of Mai Kee, of course, will not lose his business smile because of this little thing, anyway, this time.

"Whereever, we just won because we happened to be relatively new, and it won't be long before we get back to the way we were."

But the other side fought back again, ostensibly showing humility, but in fact it was provocative by asserting its superiority.

If Fei Su was present at night, it felt like he would unexpectedly can't help but kick the flames out, but Doudou, who was just entrusted to the store, couldn't do that. Because Doudou's actions will only bring trouble to himself in the end. I believe that. The store manager will definitely not let go of this opportunity to punish me well.

Doudou was surprised in his heart that he could easily ignore the other party's provocation.

"I hope so too. As partners in the shopping area, let's cheer each other on. It's unfortunate that the store manager isn't here today, but we'll be visiting you at another date, so I'd like to ask for your advice."

So you go back today, Doudou carefully dealt with the flames with such a resounding sentence.

Flame smiled sarcastically, though surprised.

"That's right...... It really doesn't look like you're what I know of you."

He said to Doudou, who was still with his head down.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to meet the legendary manager, but since it's a rare trip, let me take a set meal with me...... Oh."

The flame lingered on one of the employees behind Doudou who was watching the development of the situation, that is, Satsuki.

"It's beautiful..."

"Huh?"

In the moment when Doudou followed the flame's gaze to look at Satsuki, the flame had already moved to the counter where Satsuki was with the pace of a crab.

"Wow~~ What a cute lady full of the future. Please use those graceful hands to prepare the set meal I ordered for me."

This sentence made Satsuki show her displeasure openly.

Anyone could see that the flame was here to provoke Mak Kee, and he actually showed an off-the-beaten-path attitude towards the staff as a guest. Just when Satsuki wanted to speak-

"Miss Fei Chizuki."

Doudou stopped her with a salutation of serious work.

"Explain the goods to the customer."

「…… Yes."

Doudou asked the flame to move to the counter. Flame only glanced at Doudou again, and then until he returned with the goods he had brought out, his eyes were only on Satsuki's every move.
