Magic Night 东野圭吾 2422Words 2018-03-22
Just after 8:30, the last customer left and the shop assistants started packing up.Usually they can leave work after packing up, but Thursday night is an exception, most of them will come back here after a simple meal. MON AMI holds a study session once a week, on Thursday nights.When the atmosphere is lively, it is often past twelve o'clock when we return home after the meeting. "Sorry, I won't be participating today." Qing Jiang said to the male clerk next to him. There were several people around who showed regret.Seeing this, Qing Jiang feels superior - everyone wants to learn my skills secretly, because I am the much-loved super beautician Shinichiro Qing Jiang.

"That's it, the next thing, please." "Yes." The male clerk nodded. Qing Jiang put on his coat and was about to open the store door when he suddenly saw Nakano Ami sweeping the floor in front of him.A recent hire, she's pretty good at her craft and extremely eager to learn.She is small in stature and delicate in features, and is very popular among guests. "Ash, did you drive here again today?" "Yes." Ash blinked his eyes wide. "Stop in the old place?" She nodded vigorously and smiled mischievously.Such demeanor is also the secret of her popularity.

"Be careful, don't get caught for illegal parking." "I will." She nodded again. Ash and his mother live in Komazawa, his father works alone in Olive, and his elder brother has already started working and moved out.Ah Shi got his driver's license after graduating from high school, and he usually drives his father's car to work on the days when there are study sessions.She never pays for parking and always parks on the side of the road.There are some nice places where no one manages, she said.Colleagues at the station also talked about consumer goods, saying that this kind of thing cannot last forever, and that sooner or later they will be towed away by tractors.

After Qing Jiang left the store, he immediately walked to the monthly subscription parking lot next to him and got into his BMW.Now he lives in a newly built apartment in Meguro with a monthly rent of more than 300,000 yuan. Qing Jiang thought, two years ago, it was impossible to imagine the life we ​​have today.If you are only employed by others, no matter how famous you are, your income will not increase dramatically.If I open my own shop with that poor salary, I have to think about repaying the loan first, and the improvement of the quality of life will definitely be postponed. It was right to agree to Mifuyu's invitation then.She opened the shop on her own without paying a penny, and with her help, her popularity has risen sharply.Whether it is the name of the store or the name of Shinichiro Aoe, it can be said that no one knows it among young people.

But Qingjiang thinks that he cannot be satisfied with the status quo.Although he opened a store, MON AMI is not his own.No, that's actually Mifuyu Xinkai's, and he is just the director of BLUE SNOW company. Half of MON AMI's turnover belongs to itself, but because of the system of the beauty salon, the income can never be entirely owned by itself. It's not just about income. I want to own a store worthy of the name, and I want to have a store that I arrange from the beginning to the end. This idea has become more and more intense recently. But Mifuyu couldn't possibly agree.If Aoe Shinichiro is gone, MON AMI's customers will be halved.This is definitely not Qing Jiang's conceit.

He didn't want to betray Meifuyu.She is kind to herself, and the most important thing is that she loves her.If you can marry her, the current idea can be easily dispelled. But the one who betrayed was Mifuyu.He had known for a long time that she was expanding the business scope of BLUE SNOW, and also knew that she had concluded a cooperative relationship with Huawu, but he never dreamed that she would marry the president of Huawu. When questioning her about this matter, she didn't feel apologetic at all. "I am also in my thirties. Isn't it natural to think about the future? Can I not get married for the rest of my life?"

Qing Jiang endured humiliation and asked her what to do with her, but she said with a puzzled face: "Aren't you and I business partners? And we are very happy partners. I always think so." "You and your business partner also have sex?" Hearing such a question, she still didn't change her expression. "Doing sex or not has nothing to do with the role? It's a problem between men and women. At that time, I hadn't met Akimura. I liked you as a man, that's what happened, but I don't think our relationship has changed since then. Go deeper. Look, did you propose to me?"

"I have always regarded you as a lover." Qing Jiang said. "Thanks, but I'm not. You're the ideal partner for me, and I thought I was the same for you." Such an explanation is unlikely to be convincing, but it seems that he can only accept the fact that he was abandoned.Qing Jiang thinks he is being weighed by the balance. Although he is highly sought after, he is just a beautician, but that person is the president of a large jewelry store, so he has no hope of winning. But he didn't want to just quit so simply.Since the other party betrayed first, then he also has the right to betray.

About three weeks ago, Qing Jiang expressed his desire to go out and do it alone.At that time, the two were eating in the restaurant, Meifu stared at his face and shook her head. "It seems that you are also an ordinary person. After a slight improvement, you will immediately develop new desires? Having desires is not a bad thing. It would be great if you can use them in other ways." "I always think of you as my partner in both public and private aspects. But since you said it was only a business partner, I can only concentrate on business." "It's the same as an artist who wanted to be independent as soon as he became famous. Those artists basically failed. Don't you know that?"

"I'm not an entertainer, but a beautician, and I rely on my craftsmanship for a living." "I am the one who assists you in your success, don't you understand?" "I no longer need assistance, nor do I need any adjectives like super. I just want a boat that I can steer." "Boat? That's really good." Meidong smiled bitterly and sighed, "But you don't even know how good the equipment is on the boat you're on now." "Mei Dong, you can't have both." "what?" "You want both the president of Huawu and the beautician Shinichiro Aoe. This wishful thinking is overdone."

"From your tone, it seems that if I hadn't been married, you wouldn't have said such things." "Indeed. I would never have said that if you hadn't betrayed me." Meifu shrunk her shoulders and stared at him somewhat sternly.That gaze had the power to shake one's resolve, but he didn't dodge it, his hands clenched into fists under the table. "I'll think about it," she said. The two haven't had a good conversation since.Meidong would sometimes come to the store to check the accounts, and even if they had a few chats, it was just a matter of business.He once took the initiative to call and asked what happened to that matter, but she asked him to wait. Today, I finally received a call from Meidong on my mobile phone, saying that I will go to his residence tonight, and I added that I want to have a good talk. He imagined the conversation.She will definitely not cancel the marriage, and she will never happily promise herself to be independent.At most, Meidong would put forward conditions, saying that she would give special bonuses or improve treatment.He secretly said to himself, no matter how good the other party puts forward, don't waver in your determination. Back at the apartment, just after changing clothes, the phone rang, it was Mifuyu.She said she was at a nearby cafe and hoped he would come over. "Didn't you say you were coming to my house?" "That's what I planned, but I changed my mind. I'll wait for you here." She hung up the phone. Qing Jiang guessed that now is a critical period, she dare not enter a man's room easily.He thought, if you play me like this, it will be easier for me to draw conclusions. When he arrived at the cafe, Mifuyu in a white suit was waiting for him. It seemed that he came directly from the company, and beside her was a briefcase that did not match her. "It reminds me of the first time we met, no, it should be the first time we talked about work." Qing Jiang sat down. "As then, I think what we're going to talk about tonight will be a good thing for you." "If it's good for me, it shouldn't be good for you. You shouldn't be able to maintain such an elegant expression." "So it is a compromise solution, and we have found a meeting point that is beneficial to both parties." Seeing her pulling the briefcase, Qing Jiang thought, it was as expected.He was bored.
