The torrential rain seemed to dump the whole city over.

The sky was dark, and the wind swept the fallen leaves.

On a less crowded road, a sedan with fog lights on quickly passes through the rain curtain, and the wheels roll over the ground that has not been too shallow and roll up the water, spreading a curved curtain of water to the side.

Takiyazawa turned on the car's Bluetooth.

Connect with your phone.

At the same time, he paid attention to the traffic dozens of meters in front of him, and dialed a number that he had just refused to answer in the banquet hall.

The call was a little slower.

I don't know if it's deliberate or improvised, or if I think I should take a little care if I was rejected a phone call twenty minutes ago.

However, it was picked up before the blind tone appeared.

"Good morning, Ishikawa-san." Takitanizawa laughed.

"I really didn't expect Takiya-kun to call back so quickly, I thought that the message you just sent saying that it was inconvenient to answer the phone was a perfunctory excuse for prevarication, it seems that this time I spent the belly of a gentleman as a villain."

As soon as I got on the phone, the words made a lot of sense.

"I was indeed at a banquet just now." Takitanizawa didn't care about the secret ridicule in her microphone, but smiled in a gentle voice: "Although it is difficult to say such things on a rainy day, I don't know what those big people think in their heads, maybe under any circumstances you can't disturb them to have fun." ”

Satomi Ishikawa, who was on the other side of the phone, was silent for a moment.

It seems to be digesting the message in his words.

Even if she doesn't know whether it's true or not, just by virtue of the phone call that has been called back in time, and the fact that she is not angry because she completely accepts her deliberately sarcastic tone, she is no longer suitable to continue to put on a confident temper.

"I didn't say I didn't believe it, but I made this call today because I was in a hurry, and it's been three or four days since Takiya-kun left my house that day, but what about the money transfer that we have negotiated before?"

"It turned out to be this matter, I almost forgot, I've been a little busy in the past two days, I'll turn over as soon as possible after I deal with it."

"I'm not urging you, it's just that the store is about to open and I just need the funds in place, although I signed the contract, it's no problem to be late, but Takiya-kun at least has to tell me the approximate time, and I can make corresponding plans according to the time, after all, it involves the budget and recruitment of decoration and personnel, I hope you can understand."

"I can understand it, it's just that I've been a little too busy lately."

"So using the excuse that I've been too busy lately, it's not an ungentlemanly act for a lady who has been waiting for you."

Compared to paying but not getting the money, I can only break my teeth and swallow the water in my stomach.

Satomi Ishikawa is undoubtedly very confident.

Even if there is a hint of sarcasm between the words, it is just right, and it completely makes Takiyazawa unable to find any fault, because they are not an unequal relationship.

On the contrary, because of the last incident, Takitanizawa probably went a little too far in exercising his rights while fulfilling his obligations, which gave Ishikawa Satomi some room to play, but that's all, after all, in addition to this trivial loss, he also held a secret.

However, the secret thing can only be used as an important weapon to decide the victory or defeat of both sides at a critical moment.

I usually use it.

That would more or less weaken the deterrent.

So Takitanizawa is not annoyed that Satomi Ishikawa is so resentful of himself for public and private.

Takitanizawa smiled and said, "I think what Ishikawa-san said makes sense, but I don't think I'm a gentleman, but I'll go to the bank tomorrow to transfer money." ”

"Anyway, please hurry."

Satomi Ishikawa on the other side of the microphone replied.

Seeing that the call has achieved its purpose.

She thanked her and wanted to hang up, as if she didn't have any other thoughts, but before she could hang up, Takitanizawa stopped her and brought up her own business.

"Wait, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter with Takiya-kun?"

"It's about this store, although I don't participate in the management, but as one of the investors, it should be no problem to arrange for a person to work part-time in the store, and then only stipulate her salary, right?"

That's not too much to ask.

The usual joint venture store, even if it is explained in advance that she will not participate in management, but it is just a trivial matter of arranging a job, and she has no reason not to sell a face.

After all, it's not a small business.

With an investment of 30 million yen, and Ishikawa Satomi's own funds, the scale of opening a store in a more remote area of Tokyo is not too small, and the recruitment of staff must involve at least technical masters, front desk and finance, and the minimum is almost a dozen people.

Arranging for Qingyi Koizumi to work is also the cornerstone he laid in order to take his career to the next level.

The more wool the lamb has.

The more he picks up, the more enjoyable he gets.

As far as Qingyi Xiaoquan's current status in college is concerned, she can only find a part-time job, and she is not at ease if she doesn't interfere, otherwise she will use her two or two sheep brains to work for others, and it is estimated that she may run to the rescue with a bench if the capitalist is hung by a street lamp.

As for working at Satomi Ishikawa's shop.

Will not be deliberately targeted at this kind of problem.

It's very simple, Takitanizawa directly showed the card, making it clear that the child was his own person, so that if something really happened, he would have a reason to trouble her.

I'm an employer, so I'm unreasonable!

That kid went through my back door!

However, to his surprise, Satomi Ishikawa, who was silent on the other end of the phone, refused his request.

"I'm sorry, no."

"Oh? Why? ”

"I'm afraid it will affect the enthusiasm of employees, and Takiya-kun probably hasn't studied management, so it's okay if you don't understand."

"So Ishikawa-san disagrees?"

"It's not that I disagree, I just want to tell Takiya-kun about the troubles that may be caused in advance, so that I don't have to blame me for any problems at that time."

Satomi Ishikawa on the other side of the microphone seemed to think that this was not too enjoyable, especially the first few words on the phone were like a punch to the cotton and nowhere to exert force, and then continued in a mocking tone:

"Takitan-kun has also worked, and knows that colleagues pay the most attention to fairness, and obligations and rights have always been equal, and if they are not equal, unexpected problems will definitely arise."

"Please restrain your grievances and don't bring personal grievances to business, otherwise there will be no point."

When Takitanizawa heard this, he also put away the smile on his face, although he didn't know why this tea ceremony quasi-emperor seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, and he lost his level in every move, not even as good as a second-rate player, but it didn't prevent him from showing his temper, and his forbearance would only make people more inches, and he still understood.

"You just mentioned obligations and rights, maybe in your opinion, my behavior last time was very despicable, but that incident was not caused by me, although I was present at the time, Ishikawa-san can not use me as a shield."

"Things started because of you, and of course you don't have to be reasonable about the corresponding results after taking on them, if Ishikawa-san thinks that I went too far last time, you can make it clear to me, or adjust it privately, no matter what, I accept it calmly, but put personal grievances on official affairs, isn't it a little unfair to do so? If Ishikawa-san thinks that all I have left is a bad relationship, then there is no need for business to continue, and if you want to target me, please do nothing. ”

"In addition, if, as Ishikawa-san said, I can just arrange for a person to go part-time and make a bloody storm of the store with an investment of tens of millions of yen, then I can also bear the result, and even if you lose, I can also compensate you, although I don't think such a small thing can be as small as you said, but even if something goes wrong, what does it matter?"

He just spread out the conversation and said.

The two of them have a total of at least 1,600 hearts and eyes, and they still have some foxes, and there is no reason to be angry with her.

It's just a relationship of mutual use.

What's wrong with giving up?

Public-to-business, private-to-private.

Takitanizawa didn't quite understand how he could have such an abnormal attitude today with the superb tea skills and emotional control that the other party had shown before, but when dealing with the quasi-emperor of the tea ceremony, he didn't have so many psychological scruples.

If you are unreasonable, then I will not be unreasonable.

Do you really think of me as a clown who covets your beauty or can accept your tantrum unconditionally?

You're not the only one who is proficient in the art of tea.

Kanto Kansai can be said to grab a lot of them.

What's more, Takitanizawa also knows that eating soft rice is definitely about quality rather than quantity, and the two grasps are also to choose the best in quantity, and appreciating the tea art is just to not waste the scenery along the way, plus there is no psychological burden, but he has never chosen to bend down and eat with a bowl.

After he said these words, the other party was silent for a long time.

It also seemed to notice that he was emotionally wrong today, and it wasn't until a long breath came through the microphone that Satomi Ishikawa spoke again.

"Sorry, it's my problem this time."

"I've been worrying a bit lately."

"Maybe it's not going well, I just poured my anger on Takiya-kun, I'm sorry."

I can afford to put it down, and I can say I'm sorry.

This is the level of the quasi-emperor of the tea ceremony.

Takitanizawa didn't continue to hold on, but after a slight sigh, he said calmly: "It's okay, what I just said may be a bit excessive, I hope Ishikawa-san can understand, so let's do it today." ”

After two or three more sentences, he hung up.

Takitanizawa couldn't help but shake his head.

Even this kind of tea ceremony quasi-emperor can stumble, I don't know what the reason is, is it because of himself?

It's not impossible.

After all, according to common sense, she is just an emotional person, and it is normal to think that she has suffered a loss and wants to take revenge back, after all, the more aura people have, the stronger their self-esteem, and they can't tolerate the slightest grievance.

Thinking of this, he secretly became vigilant.

Women are terrible creatures.

Especially vengeful women are even more terrifying.

However, before dealing with this matter, Takitanizawa still has one more thing to do, that is, after the banquet hall refused to answer Satomi Ishikawa's call, another call came in, but this time he answered it.

And Takitanizawa is also driving to the destination.

After a short phone call just now, the car had already driven to its destination, and he originally wanted to drive directly to the side of the road and park, but found that a traffic policeman was wearing a raincoat to direct traffic, and finally parked the car in a nearby underground parking lot.

I took the umbrella in the passenger seat and braved the wind and rain to walk to a shop deep in the alley.

"Kurokawa-san, are you still working this weather?"

"It's our job to serve our tenants."

"It's really impressive."

"I'm really sorry, I called you to come in this weather, and it was also urgent from the owner, and this store perfectly met your requirements, so I took the liberty to call, and I ask Mr. Takiya's understanding."

"It's okay, I happen to be nearby."

Takitanizawa followed Kurokawa's intermediary into a brightly lit flower shop, glanced at the plastic umbrella bucket next to him, and put the umbrella in and inserted it.

As soon as you walk into this shop, you can smell a fresh aroma mixed with various floral scents.

The eye-catching flowers are even more gorgeous.

The yellow and white bellflowers, golden tulips and roses in the freezer, as well as a lot of potted plants on the ground, seem a little crowded, but the store is actually not small, at least 30 square meters.

In a place like this, it feels like a natural oxygen bar when you walk in, and it's comfortable to breathe and see.

But what he admires more is the intermediary.

In weather like today, you can spare no effort to work, and the other party's dark gray cheap suit is almost black after being soaked in water, but he is still introducing with a smiling face, it seems that everyone's life is not easy.

"Mr. Takiya, I only received the rental information for this store today, and it meets your requirements in terms of address and area, you can take a look."

The female agent smiled and began to recommend.

But she was right.

It is indeed in line with the requirements of Takitanizawa.

In his previous life, if he was looking for a job, he must have more money and less things to do, and being close to home was the first choice, and renting a store was about the same, and the exclusion of the first of the three was his requirement.

This shop is located in Miki Town, Omiya Ward, which is very close to Hanaki Town, about a 10-minute walk.

And the location is not a busy street.

Rather, it's a more secluded street.

According to the other party's words, the flow of people is not too much or too much, it is not so noisy that it is annoying, and it is not so deserted that there is no pedestrian passing by for half a day.

And the biggest convenience is that this is a florist

If you want to sublet, you only need to pay an additional sublease fee, which is not too much, and you can go to the ward office with the original owner to complete the transfer procedure, and the original business qualification of the store can be used as usual.

That's a real hassle.

It's not that the procedures are difficult, but that the procedures for flowers like this take at least 45 days.

It's troublesome and tiring, so it's better to do it in one step.

This shop Takiyasawa is very satisfied, almost to the point of impeccable, to be honest, he doesn't want a prosperous area and can't be too deserted The requirements are more difficult than the general rental, and there are strict requirements for the area and address, so it's not easy to meet this store, and it's good to rent it and open it.

The rent is also within a reasonable market price, but the minimum rent is three years, and you have to pay a one-time rent for half a year.

This condition is also barely acceptable.

According to the Kurokawa intermediary, the original owner seems to be in a hurry to get money, so it is understandable, and the rent for three years adds up to more than 3 million yen, even if he has to spend 130 million yen in the near future, he almost empties his own pocket, but hundreds of thousands of dollars can also be paid.

However, just as they signed the contract, a female voice suddenly came from the door of the store diagonally behind them.

"Great, finally caught up!"

Takitanizawa looked in the direction of the sound source, and saw a girl with a single ponytail tied with her hand running the wet hair on her forehead, putting away her umbrella and going straight in.

The bridge of the girl's nose is high, her skin is fair, her face is standard goose egg, and her shiny lip gloss seems to have been blown by the rain, and some of it is smudged on the chin, but it does not destroy the beauty in the slightest, but has a kind of youthful vitality.

The upper body is wearing a short sleeve with cartoon graffiti, and the lower body is a short skirt that I don't know how many fingers I have rolled, the crystal water droplets flow slowly on the thighs, and the white silk that wraps the calves is wet by the rain, showing a translucent outfit that clings to the skin, and there is a feeling of smudging.

It stands to reason that this type of girl is probably the same as Qingyi Koizumi, with a youthful atmosphere all over her body.

Maybe it's another goat's brain.

But Takitanazawa just saw from the small movements of the other party's seemingly natural but just came in and put his eyes on him, and he always felt as if she was secretly observing herself, as if she was comparing something.

There are a lot of coins to taste tea, said the true and false masters.

Master Takitani has activated elemental awareness.
