Chapter 402, Yui
In addition, there is a bookshelf against the wall that almost covers the front wall, and it is full of books.
There didn't seem to be many seats.
It is totally different from the ordinary izakaya with small seats that are designed to cram as many customers as possible, which fully reflects the characteristics of personal management.
However, this also creates a space that is different from chain stores, very quiet and allows people to relax.
It seemed that it was a day off today, so no one was there, and Zhuo couldn't help but start to admire the interior decoration. At this time, a woman wearing a dark blue apron appeared from inside.
At first glance, she seems to be a woman with a calm temperament, about one generation older than Zhuo... Doesn't this also mean that she is at least four or five generations younger than Uesugi Yue?
She was a beautiful woman with long black hair. She didn't look like someone who was suitable for a pub at all. Instead, she was more suitable for a coffee shop or a second-hand bookstore. Although it was a bit rude, it was hard to imagine that this quiet woman was one of the girlfriends of that old man Uesugi Yue.
"Hey... Master Yue, you're here."
"Long time no see, Yui."
Uesugi Yue bowed his head politely and greeted him, and the woman called Yui smiled and gave him a gentle and elegant look.
It is really hard to imagine that the relationship between these two people is what I think. The proprietress called Yui calls Uesugi Yue in a very polite way, "Master Yue".
"I'm glad you came. You seldom came after that day, and I was very lonely."
"I'm sorry... I was worried that I might disturb you."
"What are you saying about disturbing me? I'm very happy to have you here. I will work very hard."
Uesugi Yue muttered quietly, "That's the problem," but unfortunately it didn't reach Yui's ears.
Zhuo looked at them from his position, feeling very confused.
From Yui's pretty appearance and behavior, he could not find any factors that made Uesugi more difficult to deal with, and Zhuo was just confused. Zhuo looked at her and said a few words to her, and felt that she was just an ordinary woman. Her image of being quiet and virtuous was even stronger, and he could not see any factors that made her difficult to deal with.
If you have to say it, her eyes were full of tenderness towards Uesugi Yue, but this alone could not explain what Uesugi Yue meant when he said that he was difficult to deal with.
The things that people are not good at dealing with vary from person to person, so there is nothing to speculate about, I just feel that I can't figure it out.
Zhuo looked at Uesugi Yue, who seemed to be unable to resist. At this moment, the woman's eyes suddenly turned to this side.
Those dark eyes revealed a look of scrutiny for a moment, and then her expression softened.
"Is this the kid Master Yue said was going to apply for a job?"
"Ah, yes, he said he wanted to work here. Utsunomiya boy, this is the manager here, Xijun Yui, she's my good friend."
"I'm Utsunomiya Shuu, thank you for taking the time to meet me."
"Oh...it's okay. After all, it was Master Yue's request. Master Yue has a very reliable eye, so I think it's okay."
Yui smiled slightly, looked at Zhuo carefully from head to toe, and then smiled again.
That beautiful smile that was elegant yet unfathomable and even stressful made Zhuo feel the hairs on his back stand up.
"By the way, what is your relationship with Master Yue?"
"Relationship...Friends? Or regular customers? I think it's probably somewhere in between."
"It's a creditor. This guy owes me a bowl of ramen." Zhuo felt a sense of evil for no reason, so he explained clearly, and Yui's smile immediately became gentle. The tormenting chill also disappeared. This answer was probably correct.
"That's great. Master Yue is much older than me, and it would be troublesome if he secretly had a child."
"Hehe... My last name is my father's, Utsunomiya. If it's Master Yue's child, he should be called Uesugi so-and-so, so it's impossible."
"Oh, that's great..."
The black eyes suddenly lit up, as if they were sparkling, causing Zhuo to take a small step back, but Youyi didn't seem to care - her cheeks flushed.
That expression looked like that of a girl in love, and Zhuo slowly began to understand why Uesugi Yue was not good at dealing with her.
"I've heard about it. It's amazing that you can make up your mind at this age. So you applied for the job because of this relationship, right?"
"Yes. Uh, because I want to propose..."
“Great!” Yui paused after high-fiving, turned her head and gave Uesugi Yue a fierce and meaningful look, then continued to face Zhuo with her usual virtuous smile, “Very good, that’s good, if you are willing, please be sure to work here…”
"Auntie, have you decided yet? Uh, although I already knew that..."
Zhuo, who was hired without a formal interview, froze, while Uesugi Yue sighed in surprise and confusion. In response to these two people's reactions, Yui just smiled a very happy smile on her face.
"Yuyi, you can't interfere in other people's private affairs~"
"Well, I won't force him to do anything he doesn't want to do, but at least please let me participate in the planning..."
"If it was just this boy, I wouldn't stop you, but that girl is a bit fierce, so please stop it."
"I will be careful and just provide a reference plan, okay?"
"Reference plan?"
"Opening an izakaya is Yui's real job. Her hobby is to be a writer, and she has done many other things. I don't understand why she wants to open an izakaya..."
Uesugi Yue muttered again: "And all the work doesn't make money, it's incredible."
Zhuo couldn't help but look at Youyi, and an unfathomable smile appeared on her face.
"Of course, I am also running the izakaya seriously. I don't have to worry about closing down, and my salary will also increase."
"Yuyi, please calculate the hourly wage carefully and don't give any pocket money to this kid."
"Don't worry so much..."
Uesugi Yue was lecturing seriously to Yui, who was looking down in frustration, while Zhuo was a little worried whether he could continue to work here smoothly.
……
Whether it was good or bad, Zhuo was hired immediately and went home after getting the employment contract.
This didn't feel like an interview, more like a simple meeting, but it seemed that the employer was very satisfied with him, so Zhuo felt relieved.
Zhuo didn't know if it would be a problem to make such an easy decision, but it was a good thing to find a job close to home and with someone to take care of it. It was better to say that everything was going too smoothly, and he even began to worry about whether he would have a rebound.
On the way back, Uesugi Yue asked Zhuo for the money for the bowl of noodles again. Zhuo said he would pay next time he ate noodles, and was let go.
