Chapter 11: Nanako's Cafe (3)
When Ryuzaki first went back, he didn't forget to bring back the copy of the shonen TOP magazine brought by Jasmine Hasegawa.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Xiao Gangjun, you're back!"
Ryuzaki stuck her head out of the kitchen, and in more than half a month, she had begun to gradually recover from the pain of losing her husband, and there were still three children at home that she needed to raise, so she couldn't just get sick.
"Mom, heat this up, it's a New Year's gift from Mr. Store Manager!"
As soon as Ryuzaki handed over the extra-large portion of sushi to his mother, he went to see his younger siblings who were sitting in his room studying. Since knowing about their father, the two little ones have also become much more sensible. Especially her younger sister Aoi Ryuzaki, who has begun to use her sister's identity to take the initiative to help Ryuzaki take care of Kenichi!
"Ah~ brother, you're back!"
"Kenyi-kun, your homework isn't done yet! Hurry up and get off my brother's body! Hear no! ”
Kenichi Ryuzaki turned his head and grimaced at Aoi Ryuzaki.
"Brother, you can't spoil him like this, in this case, you will teach Kenyi-kun badly!"
"Okay, okay~ Kenich-kun, come down quickly, otherwise Xiao Kui-kun will be angry! You see, what is this? If you're good haode doing your homework, I'll give this to you! ”
It was only in front of his younger siblings that Ryuzaki would have just shown the smile that a seventeen-year-old child should have.
"Wow~ Her Royal Highness Nanako's manga magazine!"
Under the influence of Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki, the two little guys have become Nanako's book fans and comic fans without reservation, and they naturally have a special fondness for the manga magazines produced by the boy IC. If it was before, Tsuyoshi Tatsuzaki, the manga magazine of Shonen IC, would definitely buy every issue. But it's different now!
"I really like Her Royal Highness Nanako! Brother, why didn't Her Royal Highness Nanako's new book come out yet! I've seen Jurassic Park ten times! If I don't get a new book, I'm going to read it again for the eleventh time! Kenichi Ryuzaki held the oil-stained TOP magazine in his arms, looking like no one would give it!
"I don't know! It may take a while! If Ryuzaki had just read the first two issues of the Shonen TOP magazine, he would have known that the release date of Nanako Tanaka's new novel, "The Secret", has been postponed to after the New Year!
"Brother, what kind of person do you say Her Royal Highness Nanako is?"
"What kind of people? Xiao Kui-kun, I can't describe this! ”
"Brother, haven't you been to a book signing in Tokyo? You've probably seen Nanakoden! ”
"That was last year! How could I remember it so clearly! Okay, okay, Xiao Aoi-kun, um~ Her Royal Highness Nanako is a very beautiful woman, and her smile makes people feel very kind, that's it! Xiao Kui-kun, if you hadn't seen her with your own eyes, you wouldn't have experienced such a feeling! ”
"Like Miss Momoe Yamaguchi?"
"It's like Miss Momoe Yamaguchi!"
"Brother, you don't like Her Royal Highness Nanako, right?"
"Xiao Kui-kun, don't talk nonsense!"
Ryuzaki just made a big red face.
"Huh~"
"Kenyi-kun, what's wrong?"
"Sister, look, Her Royal Highness Nanako posted an advertisement here!"
"Advertising?"
"It seems that the café established by Her Royal Highness Nanako is going to recruit employees! But it's painful to ask for over seventeen, I'm only eleven years old! ”
"Coffee house? It's true! Kenich-kun, you're only eleven years old, you need to go to school, read, learn more knowledge, and want to go to work in the coffee house of Her Royal Highness Nanako? Hmph~ Don't even think about it! Aoi Ryuzaki picked up her sister's jiashi and began to lecture.
Kenichi Ryuzaki directly ignored it selectively, and then changed direction, "Brother, if you want to go to Tokyo to go to university, can you go to work in the café of Her Royal Highness Nanako?" ”
"Probably!" Ryuzaki-kun smiled bitterly.
"It's amazing! So, brother, if you go to work at the coffee house of Her Royal Highness Nanako, you must help me get an autograph! Well, to the most handsome Kenichi Ryuzaki, that's it! ”
Ryuzaki Gang rubbed Kenichi's head very helplessly, "Okay, let's go out to eat!" Don't wait for mom to come in and call, got it! ”
"Hi Babble~"
In the scent of sushi, the family is eating happily, the three children are very sensible, although the husband is no longer there, but she still has three children with her, Ryuzaki made up her mind that she must work hard to raise these three children. Especially the boss Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki!
This kid!
After eating, the three children helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Xiao Kui-kun, you take Kenyi-kun to watch TV for a while, and my mother wants to talk to Xiao Gangjun!"
Aoi Ryuzaki looked at Hayanoko, then at Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki, and then with an oh sound, he turned around and left the kitchen with Kenichi Ryuzaki!
"Xiao Gangjun~"
"Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"In the afternoon, Miss Hasegawa Jasmine came over!"
"Mo ...... Lijun? ”
"Yes! Xiao Gangjun, are you still going to hide it from your mother anymore? ”
Ryuzaki just stopped what he was doing, a little stunned, although he knew that he would not be able to hide the matter of dropping out of school sooner or later, but he still didn't expect to let his mother know so soon.
"Mom, I'm ......"
"Xiao Gangjun, mom knows what you think, Sanye-kun is gone, you are an elder brother, you need to carry the burden of the family on behalf of Sanye-kun! These moms get it! But Xiao Gangjun, don't you really care about your dreams? What you told Miss Jasmine, the dream of becoming a great person like Her Royal Highness Nanako! ”
Ryuzaki just gritted his teeth, trembling in his heart, "Yes, Mom, I don't care, I don't care at all, the only thing I care about now is this family!" ”
"Xiao Gangjun, you still can't lie at all!"
"Mom's ......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, Xiao Gangjun! Tomorrow, I'll go to school with you and ask the principal to let you go back to school! ”
"I don't ......"
"You sit down for me, little Gangjun! As long as there is me in this family for a day, you have to listen to me, I am your mother! If Mino-kun is still here, he won't agree to your approach! Do you know how much Mino-kun expects from you? How can you just irresponsibly abandon Mino-kun's expectations, and throw away Koaoi-kun and Kenich-kun's admiration for you? ”,
"I'm not going back to school! I want to make money, I want to support my family......"
With a "snap", Ryuzaki had a slap on Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki's face.
"I'm not allowed to say such bastard things! Supporting a family and making money, it's all my business, you don't have this right yet! cough~cough~"
"Mom's ......"
Ryuzaki just got up and was about to help Hayakiko, but was pushed to the side by Ryuzaki Hakuki, "Don't call me mom until you go back to school!" ”
Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki has insomnia again!
When he finally fell asleep, Ryuzaki pushed open the door.
Do you really want to go back to school?
Ryuzaki Tsuyoshi's heart is very unbearable!
Is there really no other way?
"It's an opportunity to work without giving up on your dreams!"
"For yourself, and for me! Ryuzaki-kun, please don't give up! ”
Jasmine Hasegawa's words appeared in his ears again!
"Kenyi-kun~Kenichish-kun~"
Ryuzaki sat up all of a sudden, shaking up Kenichi Ryuzaki, who was sleeping on the side!
"Hmm~ brother, early in the morning, what's the matter?"
"Where's that magazine yesterday?"
"Yesterday's magazine? Under my pillow! ”
As soon as Ryuzaki grabbed the magazine, he rushed out of the room!
"Mom~Mom ......"
……
Tokyo, Nerima Ward, Asahi Hill.
This is where the headquarters of the Shonen IC is located.
Today is Zuihou day for coffee house recruitment!
"Miss Saito Renfang?"
"Hi Babble~"
"Tell us about yourself!"
"My name is Lotus Saito, and I am currently studying at Aoyama Gakuin in Japan, and I am a first-year student in the Faculty of Law......"
……
"Huh? Your father is a Chinese? ”
"Hi Bha~ My father is from Taiwan, China! But now I'm Japanese! When I was 18 years old, I became a Japanese citizen! ”
"So, can you tell me, are you going to become a Japanese citizen?"
"Japan is a xenophobic society, joining Japanese nationality can make me more integrated into Japanese society, although I bleed half of the blood of Chinese, but I was born in Japan and have always lived in Japan!"
"So, do you still speak Chinese?"
"Does it have anything to do with work?"
"Yes! You know, in Tokyo, there are a lot of international students from China, and maybe you will meet them at work. Communicating in their native language is more likely to increase the goodwill of customers than in Japanese, and our café is designed to promote this customer-first mentality! ”
"I'm so sorry! Actually, I don't know a word of Chinese now! ”
"I'll give you a piece of advice, Saito-kun, learn Chinese well, maybe one day in the future, your Chinese will play a big role. You are studying law, and you must know that in the future, there will be a lot of room for development between China and Japan. ”
"Thank you very much for your advice! Jerry-kun. ”
"You can call me Kim, and besides, I'm Chinese!" If you pass our selection, we will contact you by phone within a week, so thank you for your application, Ms. Hasuhiro Saito! ”
Saito was still dizzy when she left, and she couldn't adapt to the impact she faced. She performed well at Castle Peak College, and when facing others, she has always been aggressive and does not fall behind, but today, when she thought that she would easily win this interview and successfully get the job of a trainee assistant, she found that she couldn't keep up with the interviewer's train of thought at all, that named Jerry. Gold. Rothscher's little guy's thoughts!
What's wrong with this shijie, what's wrong with this café, what's wrong with Her Royal Highness Nanako!
Everything is crazy!
"Jerry-kun, is this possible?"
"So? Nanako, are you referring to our approach to recruitment? ”
"Yes! And this thing that you've come up with, can it really help us pick out the people we need from these candidates? ”
"Of course! This thing you're talking about is called a psychometric test, and it gives us a glimpse into the personality of these candidates. Café work belongs to the service industry, this industry requires patience, carefulness, and heartfelt service, and you need to be happy while serving others, and at the same time giving happiness to others, you will feel that you are also happy. So, if you are a person who always has a bitter gourd face and is mentally introverted, you can't do this anyway! This is just one criterion for hiring. Also, I didn't make this thing, it was researched by the RAND Corporation in the United States, and I just modified it a little bit according to the personality characteristics of the Japanese! ”
"The character of the Japanese? I'm curious, what does Jerry Jun think of Japanese people? ”
"In general, it can be divided into two points, one is extreme self-esteem and xenophobia, and the other is extreme worship of the strong! This is related to the historical conditions for the formation and development of the Japanese nation and the status of Japan as an island nation. Do you know how Western scholars compare the Japanese to the "nation in the workshop", which is very vivid, isn't it? On the one hand, he is good at learning from other peoples, but on the other hand, he is narrow-minded! It's a very extreme character, like ice and fire! And from a small point of view, it can be divided into five points, collectivism, obedience consciousness, loyalty, workaholic, and the attitude of valuing others! This, Nanako, you should have a personal experience! Nanako, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else! ”
"I know, Jerry-kun, I know Jerry-kun doesn't mean anything else!"
There was a "clang", and the door was suddenly pushed open.
Ryuzaki, soaking wet, just rushed in.
Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki finally convinced Hakukiko and set out on the road to Tokyo again.
The seventeen-year-old boy started his first stop in Tokyo in 1988.
Jerry looked at Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki, who was in a mess, and turned his head sideways, "Miss Shizuko? ”
"Hi ~ Jerry-kun, what's the matter?"
"Isn't it over? How can there be any applicants? I don't have any information about him here! ”
"And candidates? Jerry-kun, is this a mistake! I don't have a lot of candidates here! ”
Looking at Ryuzaki's somewhat cramped expression, Jerry seemed to have guessed something, "Hmm~ It's okay, Miss Shizuko, print another copy of the test questions for me!" Those who have already done the haode test questions will trouble the colleagues of the human resources department! Miss Shizuko should also hurry up.,The training of newcomers is about to take place.,Be sure to ask Takayama-kun for a good leave! Otherwise, if Takayama-kun is hungry, I'll be guilty, well, well, this is not the first time Takayama-kun has been hungry! ”,
"Jerry-kun, you guy~"
"By the way, Miss Shizuko, if you can, find a time to invite Takayama-kun over, I think the company still needs a legal advisor!"
"Hi Babble~"
A new psychometric test question is placed on the table in front of Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki!
"Excuse me~" Jerry didn't finish his words, but turned his head away, "Nanako, do you think he looks familiar?" ”
"Jerry-kun, if you don't say it, you don't think it's true, it's very familiar!"
Ryuzaki, who has always been very aggressive, suddenly felt extremely nervous, and his hands hidden under the table were clutching his thighs tightly at this time, and he was desperately trying to relax himself.
Be sure to relax.
If you don't get hired, go back to school!
But the promise to his mother made him nervous again!
"You...... Hello! I'm Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki! "It's really over, I even started to tremble when I spoke!
"It turned out to be Ryuzaki-kun, why did I say it was so familiar! Nanako, do you remember this guy, no, when the manga was released the year before last, he was the captain of the 'Order Maintenance Team'! ”
"Yes!"
Obviously, Nanako Tanaka also remembered the teenager who jumped into her car and raised his hand to direct the chaotic crowd!
"So, Ryuzaki-kun? Stand up and sing a song! ”
"Sing...... A song? ”
"Yes, you heard it right, it's a song, it's the interview question I gave you!"
"Huh?"
For Tsuyoshi Ryuzaki, there is something more embarrassing for him than this! He can do anything, but when he sings, he is really embarrassed to sing with his broken throat!
"What? Ryuzaki-kun, has the courage to command a chaotic group of book lovers, but doesn't have the courage to sing a song? You have to know that in the café of the future, you will encounter a lot of unexpected events! For example, if the jukebox in the café suddenly breaks down, or the resident singer is late, you need a trainee assistant to replace you temporarily! Yes, you don't have to doubt that these things happen at Nanako's café! So, open your mouth and sing, here's what you need to do right now! ”
Well, well! Get out!
Ryuzaki just gritted his teeth, then closed his eyes, opened his mouth and began to sing loudly.
Well, the very domineering "Thank You" is sung in a heart-wrenching manner, without the gentleness and euphemism of Yamaguchi Baihui at all!
It's a pity that the out-of-tune is very serious!
But the more Ryuzaki just sang, the more intoxicated he became, and he sang to zuihou and his hands were flying! Well, Nanako Tanaka sang along with Zuihou, and Jerry really didn't realize that Nanako Tanaka was a super fanatic in addition to being a super fan of Momoe Yamaguchi!
"OK~ Very good, very good, very sunny and very confident! But Ryuzaki-kun, it would be better if he could not go out of tune! ”
Ryuzaki's face was full of red light, and the song "Thank You" made him throw away his original nervousness, but Jerry's words still made him feel embarrassed!
The next thing is very simple, the routine of the interview, self-introduction, interview question answers, and of course, Zuihou also has a psychometric test question that has to be done!
"Ryuzaki-kun, did you suddenly decide to apply for the job today?"
"No, Jerry-kun! Actually, I was going to come yesterday, but when I arrived in Tokyo, I got lost! You know, I used to live in Hokkaido! I've only been to Tokyo once! ”
"I see! You look like you're in a hurry, haven't you had dinner yet? ”
Ryuzaki was a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway.
"Well, then, let's go, I'll invite you to my house for dinner! Well, it's Nanako's house! ”
