Chapter 260 They Want to Meet Their Parents
After that, Qingshui Jian and Xia Lin learned some specific work content and details about bar management.

The most basic job content is to supervise and manage the daily operations of the bar.

However, Shimizu feels that the most important thing should be on-site management.

After all, this is a bar, and most people who come here want to drink, and there are also some who can't drink much.

However, even the best drinkers can get drunk accidentally, so preventing guests from getting into conflict with each other after getting drunk is also part of the management's job.

In addition to these basic work contents, of course, it also includes employee attendance records, checking employee attendance and personal appearance hygiene, etc.

Speaking of employees, Xia Lin just gave Qing Shuijian a brief introduction to the current staff situation of the bar.

She said that besides her, there were two other waiters in the bar, one male and one female.

Since it's not a particularly large chain bar, even with only three people they can still manage the job.

However, the male waiter resigned not long ago for some personal reasons, leaving only Xia Lin and another female waiter.

Although the bar's revenue has declined during this period and is not as ideal as before, and the customer flow is not as high as before, some old customers and regular customers still come every day.

Most of these people are residents living near this area or office workers. After get off work, they are accustomed to gathering in the bar here and having a drink or two, and basically they come at fixed time periods.

Therefore, the two of them were really overwhelmed, so last weekend, Xia Lin posted a recruitment notice online.

As soon as the bar's recruitment notice was released, people came to apply for the job on the same day.

The person who came to apply for the job was the waitress who had just left.

Although there was no contact and no conversation with her just now, that inexplicable subtle feeling really made Qingshui Jian concerned.

Although he couldn't explain why, in most cases, Qingshui felt that his intuition was quite accurate.

However, out of politeness, Qingshui Jian did not directly ask about the other party's employees' personal information.

However, according to what Xia Lin said just now, the waitress who applied for the job and was successfully hired by her seemed to be a high school student about the same age as Qingshui Jian, and she also seemed to have some financial difficulties.

So after careful consideration, Xia Lin still chose to hire her even though she had no previous experience working in a bar or something like that.

Although he was a little clumsy at the beginning and even broke a few wine glasses, he had a strong learning and adaptability ability and became familiar with all the work processes in just a few days.

In addition, according to normal business hours, the bar was supposed to be open until 11pm.

However, because the waitress who used to work with the male waiter who resigned was sick with a fever and took leave today, and Xia Lin knew that Qing Shuijian was coming, they decided to close the bar early today and let the waitress go back first.

After signing several agreements as Xia Lin said, Qingshuijian listened carefully to her instructions on some daily affairs that the bar should pay attention to.

“But is this salary really okay?”

Xia Lin seemed to feel a little sorry and confirmed with Qing Shuijian again.

"Ms. Xia Lin, it's okay. This is fine."

In fact, after listening to Xia Lin's explanation and understanding it, the content of the job is actually not complicated, so for this part-time job, the salary offered by Xia Lin is just more than enough.

"Well, since you have no objection, I won't say anything more."

"Well, but I don't have much experience in this kind of thing. If Miss Xia Lin doesn't mind, I can try to do it for a month. If I can't manage it well by then, Miss Xia Lin can replace me..."

Before Qing Shuijian finished speaking, Xia Lin interrupted him succinctly and clearly, "That's not necessary."

"Although I never trust outsiders, I will never doubt Yao and Xi."

Xia Lin glanced at Sakurai Haruka who was still holding Shimizu's arm, and continued with a smile.

"Since both of them can trust you like that, then I have no reason to doubt you, right?"

"..."

Just as Shimizu Miki said before, the more the other party trusts you, the more pressure they will put on you.

"Of course, if you have any questions or feel that there is a need for adjustment, you can always tell me. This is my contact information."

Xia Lin took out a small notebook from under the bar, tore off a page, wrote down his phone number on it, and handed it to Qingshui Jian.

Qingshuijian took the paper, folded it twice, and put it in his trouser pocket.

"If there's no problem, let's just leave it like this for now. I'm leaving Tokyo next Tuesday, and I don't know when I'll have time to come back. I'll leave the bar to you then."

Xia Lin smiled and extended her hand to Qing Shuijian across the bar. Qing Shuijian nodded and shook her hand in return.

"Come to think of it, it's unbelievable. I didn't expect that Haruka, who is so shy, would like you so much."

Sakurai Haruka snuggled up to Shimizu Mi from beginning to end, and did not leave even when Xia Lin deliberately teased her like this.

After that, Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka left the bar first.

Xia Lin had to clean up the bar, so he had to leave later.

The two took the elevator back to the first floor, walked through the open door of the lobby, and breathed in the fresh air from the outside world after a long time.

Sakurai Haruka matched Shimizumi's pace, taking slow steps and walking side by side.

After leaving the big hotel with warm lights, it is now 10:17 pm.

Although most stores have closed, some stores have just opened at this time.

Apart from a few pedestrians passing by occasionally, not even the sound of cars passing by could be heard on the street.

In Tokyo, there are very few places as quiet as this one. It’s not that this area is sparsely populated, but that those who can live nearby should be from relatively wealthy families.

At least Qingshuijian probably has no chance of coming to this place.

But to be honest, although this place is a bit far from home and it may take some time to commute, Qingshui Jian is already very satisfied to find such a part-time job, not to mention the salary is also very good.

Generally speaking, students working part-time during the summer vacation can earn about 70,000 to 80,000 yen a month, and the higher salary may be 100,000 yen.

If it were any higher, it would probably only be those girls who work like gods for their fathers.

Therefore, finding such a part-time job tonight was an unexpected gain. After all, when he first came, Shimizu Mi was a little suspicious whether Sakurai Shio wanted to play a trick on him again.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to thank her properly later.

"See……"

When Shimizu was thinking about this, he suddenly heard Sakurai Haruka, who was walking beside him, calling him softly.

"what happened?"

“Are you really going to work at that bar?”

Shimizu Ken felt a little confused for a moment. After all, it was Sakurai Haruka who brought him here himself, and now he said such words.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with you finding a part-time job. After all, I know about Aunt Qiuzi's situation..."

Sakurai Haruka walked forward two steps and then stopped, and Shimizu Mi also stopped.

"I just... when I think about working in a place like that..."

There was a hint of worry in Sakurai Haruka's eyes, and she looked at Shimizu Ken with some trepidation.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in alcohol. Even if I help Miss Xia Lin manage things for a while, I won't drink."

"It's not because of this..."

"What is that?" Qing Shuijian asked in confusion.

After hesitating for a while, Sakurai Haruka slowly said, "It's because... that girl."

"That girl?" "That waitress... You saw her at that time, right?"

"..."

Qing Shuijian thought about it and realized that he did look at the waitress a little more because he cared a little, but he still didn't quite understand what was wrong with it.

"No, I can't work with that guy."

Sakurai Haruka took Shimizumi's arm and looked at him with an extremely serious look.

"……Why?"

Sakurai Haruka looked as if she was worried about him, but Shimizu Ken didn't understand what she was worried about.

"Haruka, do you know her?"

"I don't know her...but whenever I see her with her, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Together... I just took a look."

"That's not OK."

Sakurai Haruka replied without hesitation, her tone extremely firm.

Shimizu could smell a strong sense of jealousy in the air around him. No wonder Sakurai Haruka had been holding his arm tightly and not letting go in the bar just now. It turned out that she was declaring her sovereignty.

"Haruka, you think too much."

I have to say that Sakurai Haruka was indeed overthinking. Shimizu Mi just took a second look at her because he had a subtle feeling and was a little concerned at that time. There was no special reason or idea.

"Even if I hear you say that, I still..."

"If that's the case, why didn't you say it then?"

Qingshui Jian had just agreed to help Xia Lin manage the bar, so it would be inappropriate to go back on her word right away.

"Because my sister said that after Aunt Qiuzi lost her job, Jian's family would be in great need of money. But if you were to give him money directly, Jian would definitely not accept it. So Jian needs this job... and Aunt Xia Lin's bar also needs someone to manage it..."

Shimizu Mi thought that Sakurai Haruka would be unreasonable, but she didn't expect that she would be unexpectedly sensible.

"If that's the case, what is Haruka going to do?"

Although Sakurai Haruka said that she didn't want Shimizu to work with the waitress, she didn't look like she had any intention of making Shimizu regret it.

Sakurai Haruka lowered her head slightly, seemed to be thinking seriously for a moment, and then suddenly raised her head.

"I made a decision……"

"What to decide?"

"In order to make sure that you behave properly, I will follow you to the bar as a monitor."

"Following the rules... and keeping watch... Haruka, you're not serious about this, are you?"

"It couldn't be more real."

Sakurai Haruka looked at Shimizumi with her innocent eyes and said so.

"..."

This time, Qing Shuijian was really surprised.

Although I had always felt that Sakurai Haruka's drive was extraordinary, I never expected it to be to this extent.

Having said that, Sakurai Haruka is not an employee, and it doesn't feel right to ask her to go to the bar, so Shimizu Mi feels that he still needs to find a way to reject her.

At this moment, Qingshui saw the cell phone in his pocket vibrate without warning.

I took out my phone and took a look, and found that it was a message from Amamiya Mido.

However, before Qing Shuijian could check the specific content of the message, the message was withdrawn.

Shimizu was puzzled and was about to send a message to ask what was going on, when Amemiya Mido sent another message.

[I’m really sorry, I accidentally touched my phone when I was washing dishes just now, please don’t mind]

Did you accidentally send it to the wrong person?
Shimizu Ken put his phone away again, but the message from Amemiya Mido at this time reminded him of something he had always been concerned about.

"Haruka, can I ask you a question?"

"……Um?"

Shimizu suddenly asked this, and Sakurai Haruka felt a little confused, but still nodded slightly.

"What does security mean to you?"

"……sense of security?"

Hearing this, Sakurai Haruka looked even more confused.

The reason why Shimizu asked this was because Amemiya Mito had told him before that she could give people a sense of security.

But to be honest, Qingshuijian didn't feel anything special.

Perhaps the way he asked the question just now was a little unclear, and Sakurai Haruka didn't seem to understand what Shimizu Mi meant, so he tried to change the way he asked the question.

"In simple terms, does Haruka feel safe when you're with me?"

"When I was with Jian..."

After hearing this, Sakurai Haruka frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Her eyes lingered on Qing Shuijian's face, and after a while she finally spoke.

"Although I don't quite understand...but when I'm with Jian, I do feel at ease, and even my mood becomes calm."

Although this is what Sakurai Haruka said, and it does sound reasonable, she did not look calm at all, and even her breathing was a little rapid.

Sakurai Haruka held Shimizu Mi's hand even tighter.

"remote?"

"Well, actually, besides asking me to bring Jian here, my sister also told me another thing..."

"what's up?"

Shimizu asked as he looked at Sakurai Haruka's slightly rosy cheeks.

"My sister said that after she finishes her work, she will try to ask my father and the company to help Aunt Qiuzi find a new job."

"……real?"

To be honest, Shimizu's recent troubles are almost all caused by Hoshino Akiko's unemployment. If Sakurai Shio can really help her find a job again, she really doesn't know how to thank her for a moment.

"Well, my sister said this..."

Sakurai Haruka nodded slightly, but her slightly flushed cheeks made it seem as if she had something else to say.

"Haruka, is there anything else?"

"That's the one……"

Sakurai Haruka seemed to have some concerns, but Shimizu told her to just say it.

"That is... if it is convenient to meet here, can we... make an appointment to meet Aunt Qiuzi next time... ah, that is, my sister said she wanted to invite Aunt Qiuzi to have a meal together... and by the way, she can also help her find a job..."
