Reborn in Japan as a Chef God-Chapter 66 - Feng Zhizi Yaeko

Huh?

Xia Yu blinked, surprised that An Yilun would also decline a lucrative full-time employment contract.

He had sincerely wanted to hire An Yilun.

It was worth noting that in about a week, he would become a high school student, so his daily life routine would probably need some adjustments: attending classes during the day and working in the shop from evening until midnight.

After last night’s events, Xia Yu decided to carry on with the shop’s midnight tradition.

He had a hunch that the night shift would turn out to be quite interesting.

An Yilun was also a high school student.

After school, he could work at the small shop until late at night, though of course, it would be exhausting, leaving no time for club activities or otaku pursuits.

Thinking of An Yilun’s passion for the otaku community and things like game development, Xia Yu slapped his forehead.

“I think I understand why you turned me down, Mr.

An Yi.”

The protagonist in front of him certainly had his own convictions and dreams.

It seemed money wasn’t enough to sway him.

A yearly salary of four million yen?

The shop could earn that in just a few days of business, so it wasn’t about the money for Xia Yu, but he couldn’t force someone who wasn’t interested.

It really wasn’t about the money.

“I’m sorry, but I’m serious about game development!”

An Yilun clasped his hands tightly on his knees.

Although there was reluctance in his eyes, it was outweighed by determination.

This otaku expert obviously wanted to keep running his blog ‘TAKI-kun.’ To stay at the forefront of ACG and be the first to know about games, anime, and novels, he would need to devote a lot of effort.

While An Yilun could still juggle part-time work, a full-time job would mean running straight to the shop after school, leaving no time for matters concerning the ACG community.

It was almost a choice between being socially active and being an otaku.

Unquestionably, An Yilun chose the otaku path, even though the socially active path was paved with money.

“Oh well…” Xia Yu rubbed his furrowed brows, feeling rather helpless.

“However, I can help you build and manage the website!” An Yilun began enthusiastically, “First, you need to register a domain name.

To make things easier, you can just buy one directly.

Then, rent a server to store the website’s content and data.

After that comes the design and creation of the web pages…”

There were still customers waiting downstairs, so Xia Yu interrupted An Yilun.

“Here’s the deal, Mr.

An Yi, you focus on building and managing the website, come sit in my shop whenever you have time.

The fixed monthly salary will be 200,000 yen.

If that’s not satisfactory, you can tell me.”

On hearing this.

An Yilun swallowed, “Can I do it?”

“You can try.

I’ll give you a month to show me the results.

If they suffice, the trial period will end, and you’ll be my first employee,” Xia Yu nodded.

An Yilun had no reason to refuse.

Creating and operating websites, he could do it from home, and it was much more stable than doing odd jobs.

While running the website, he could also keep his ACG blog going, which was the best of both worlds.

Xia Yu and An Yilun were also in the upstairs living room discussing the details.

Meanwhile,

A slowly arriving black car stopped in front of Xia’s shop.

A tall black-clad bodyguard opened the car door, and a woman in a ladies’ business suit stepped out.

She wore sunglasses, beneath which a delicate face was visible.

Her red lipstick shimmered in the sunlight.

Her blazer was slightly open, revealing a lot of her pale skin, and just by her demeanor alone, she exuded a mature and seductive aura.

“Excuse me.”

Accompanied by the burly bodyguard, the purple-haired woman walked into the Chinese restaurant.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the restaurant quieted down, and the guests, who were enjoying their tea and traditional pastries, stared in surprise at these unexpected visitors.

“Doesn’t that woman look familiar…”

“Shush!”

“I really saw her on Tokyo TV Station, she seems to be some real estate queen…”

Immediately, various subdued discussions filled the shop.

Listening to the voices, the woman with the red lips curved them into a haughty smile.

Feng Zhizi, known as the ‘Real Estate Queen,’ took off her large sunglasses and casually surveyed the Chinese restaurant.

The tables and floors were clean, shimmering slightly, spotless; however, the decor was quite ordinary.

No matter how one looked at it, there was nothing special.

Feng Zhizi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Over the past few days, the employees she had sent to acquire shops in the old shopping street had been reporting back to her about the progress of the acquisitions.

So far, only three shops could be confirmed to have reached purchase agreements.

This efficiency was hard for Feng Zhizi to accept.

There were at least a hundred shops in the old shopping street, some of which were residential houses.

She did not expect that her grand plan to remodel the shopping street would face obstacles just as it entered the operational phase.

Thus, Feng Zhizi decided to inspect personally and, if possible, she wanted to bring back as many purchase agreements as she could.

Xia’s cuisine shop was the start of Feng Zhizi’s itinerary for the day.

Having received reports from her subordinates, Feng Zhizi was curious about a humble cuisine shop that had been revived within just half a month.

Based on her work experience, this shop was very likely the most significant obstacle to the shopping street’s remodeling plan.

Feng Zhizi came to see, and of course, if possible, she wanted to finalize an acquisition during her first stop and remove the biggest stumbling block.

On the other side,

“Mr.

An Yi, we can stay in touch via email, and if you need any funding, just speak up.”

After sending An Yilun down the stairs, Xia Yu turned around, only then noticing Feng Zhizi, who had already found a seat, and the two black-clad bodyguards standing behind her.

“Would you like the tea and pastry set?” Xia Yu approached and asked, unable to help but scrutinize the seductive face of the woman, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

“I am Feng Zhizi from City Life Planning Company…” The woman said, arms resting on the table, her impressive assets slightly altered in shape by the table, and her neckline opened even more.

“I asked you if you wanted the tea and pastry set!”

Xia Yu bluntly crossed his arms, suggesting politely, “The tea is green tea, and the pastry is a colorful mochi.

It’s the manager’s recommendation.”

The purple-haired woman flashed a professional smile, “I deeply apologize, I am here today to seriously discuss an acquisition document.”

“Is your manager available?”
