Chapter 2 big women and small men

On the first floor of a building in Marunouchi, there is a French restaurant called "Yashima", owned by the personal chef of a senior diplomat who has served as ambassador to France and the UK.During his stay in Paris, he cooked Japanese food for his master while learning how to cook French dishes. He became independent when his master resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "House Island" is a ditty that the ambassador loves to hum. The operator is the second generation.There are rumors that after the death of the previous owner, the taste is not as good as before.However, this restaurant is originally very secluded and unique, and young people don't often patronize it.

Around 8pm, at a table in the corner inside.A man and a woman were talking and eating, and at a distance from the table there were three other pairs of customers. The manager greeted the guests standing on the edge of the doorway, his nonchalant eyes fixed mainly on the table in the corner. The man looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a slender figure and sloping shoulders, giving people a feeling of thinness. His facial features were not ugly, but he was not handsome either. His eyebrows were too thick, his eyes were small, his nose bridge was straight, and his appearance was mediocre.However, there is only one thing that is a little special: he deliberately does not make his clothes conspicuous, and he dresses very plainly.

The woman seemed to be thirty-seven or eighteen years old. She was wearing a kimono with gorgeous patterns on her slightly fat body, looking graceful and luxurious. A diamond ring of about one carat shone from her fingers from time to time like a turning light on a lampstand. Her lips were decorated with lipstick. You can tell at a glance that she is a rich lady. The woman looked youthful, not only because of the brightly colored kimono she wore, but also because of her hairstyle, which suited her better than any of the clothing she had chosen.She looks mediocre, but her hair style makes the manager sigh.The hairstyle was just right for his status, which must have been done by a skilled beautician.

The woman started patronizing this restaurant two months ago, and has been here four or five times, and every time she comes, her hairstyle is just done. Big women talk freely, just like a sister talking to a younger brother.The little man had a reserved attitude and often lowered his head.Most of the conversations are women talking, men listening, and rarely opening their mouths. Of course, the manager has already seen that they are not siblings.As long as you pay attention to the behavior of those two people, anyone will come to such a conclusion. When the big woman looked at the little man, her eyes were full of tenderness, and some small movements also showed love.It is always a woman who orders the food after consulting the other party, and she is the one who pays the bill last.

For these, the man younger than the woman has always maintained a humble attitude, as if he was embarrassed by the favor of the other party, and seemed to let everything go his own way.He smiled discreetly, speaking selectively, and politely. While pretending to pay attention to the guests on other tables, the manager followed the actions of the waiters; at the same time, he stared at the couple in the corner from time to time.Just as the waiter removed the tableware, the woman leaned over the man's face and whispered something. The slender manager approached lightly and whispered like a cat meowing:

"How is the taste?" "nice!" Wrinkles crawled under the woman's eyelids, a few faint freckles scattered on her cheeks, and her body exuded the fragrance of high-end perfume.The man lowered his head slightly. "thanks!" The manager wisely retreated to his original position in the distance, his eyes still fixed on the pair of guests. "Whose wife is she?" Now that there is nothing to do, the manager guessed in his heart. The husband must be very rich, maybe an entrepreneur, busy with work, and often travels or travels. When the wife finds out that the husband is having an affair, she is so bored that she can't stand it, so she takes a man out to relax.She came for dinner around 8pm.She is definitely not an ordinary person's wife. From her clothes, it can be seen that her husband is a rich man.The wife came out to play in retaliation.He is also very careful about his surroundings, but he can tell at a glance that they are not in an ordinary relationship.Women always talk to men, and often look at men's faces with fascination.Women are hooked.

No matter how you look at a man's appearance, there is nothing that can fascinate a woman. His face is featureless and ordinary.The advantage is that she is younger than her, and this point is much better than him!The young waiters in this restaurant are very handsome. The man's skin is fair and thin, and he is not so sexually motivated. I don't know what makes her fall in love with him.He deliberately wore some cheap clothes, for fear of attracting attention, there was nothing special about the clothes, and there was nothing outstanding about that butt. However, the manager noticed that there was something fashionable about his demeanor, that he seemed sophisticated, as if, for example, he was in some kind of service business—perhaps working in a hotel counting house.However, if this is the case, it should look more deft.Still elusive about his career.

Another guest came, and the manager turned away with a smile.He knew that the woman stretched her face in front of the man again behind him, and the two of them probably became more unscrupulous because the manager left. "Anyway, if you want to open your own shop, the location is the most important..." Masako Hatano said with a close face to Michio Sayama. The manager is busy greeting new customers, and they are even more uninhibited.He stood aside, embarrassingly.This is a secluded, upper-class restaurant, and not many customers will cause trouble, so I will have to change it next time.

"...Five candidates, and finally three were selected. One is close to the city center, but the source of tourists is not concentrated; the other is farther away from the suburbs, but there is a former high-end residential area there, and the source of tourists is good. There are wives, There are entertainers, madam; and the other has plenty of flats nearby, where young people, bar and tavern maids can be entertained. Which would you like?" The tone seemed to be that he had already made a decision, and then listened to the other party's choice. "Yes, just watch and go." The young man replied politely with a normal expression.

"Hey, this is your shop, not mine." "It's my queen...but I really don't know what to do. I can't make up my mind. If I fail in the future, I'm so sorry for you." "Don't say that failure is not a failure. You can do well and have confidence." "Even if I have confidence, once I start to do it, my heart will be shaken. It will cost a lot of money, right? Even if you buy the house with the land, you can decorate the facade, configure the store equipment, and spend a lot of money..." "Land, buying land is the most expensive thing. Near the city center, the price of land there is too expensive. It's best to take out a rent deposit and take over the shops in that building."

"yes!" "Places that are a little farther from the city center are generally similar. As long as there is no ideal real estate, it is difficult to buy a single-family store for a while. There is no way out if the location is not right. Now a room in a building or apartment is more expensive than a city room. The center is slightly cheaper." "yes!" "It's possible to set up a store in the suburban area. It's close to a high-end residential area. Although the price is a bit more expensive, the land will be yours after you buy it." "yes!" "Well, which one is better?" The passer said sorry, and put a plate of fruit between the two of them.Masako moved her upper body, looking at Sayama's indecisive expression anxiously but somewhat comfortably.The manager returned to his previous position.What a nuisance, next time you have to change to another restaurant, it's dangerous to stay in the same restaurant. "What do you mean, ma'am?" he asked very respectfully. He is not timid, but gives people a sense of asexual calm.With the attitude of a man younger than her, Masako suddenly felt a sense of oppression. "Yeah, I think the place in the suburbs is suitable, but..." She said timidly under the gaze of the manager, "It's not because the place is cheap, but because of the source of customers, how about it?" Unknowingly, she moved her face closer to Sayama again: "With your talent, you can do any woman's hairstyle well. Whether it's a barmaid or a modern lady, you can use it freely, including She's satisfied. But I think, if you want to do it, it's better to choose someone from an upper-class place, which will be good for your future. The location is high-end, and the money is generous. The people in the bar also care about ostentation." "No, people in the service industry are extremely stingy, and their personnel changes frequently, so they don't last long." "Really? Are you also studying?" "I have to be cautious when asking you to spend so much money." "It's right to be cautious, but it's not good to be cautious, and you will miss the opportunity." "yes. "Muraze will be in trouble if he finds out, he seems to be gradually paying attention to your movements." "Well, I don't think it matters." Michio Sayama tilted his head.That demeanor was like that of a child, and it couldn't help arousing the compassion of this big woman. "Where's Murase's wife?" "She didn't notice anything, and she's okay with me now. But once she finds out, she'll be furious. She's the kind of person with a bad temper." "Yes, you are the pillar of the store. If you are going to start a new stove, of course she will go crazy with anger. What about the people in the store?" "It seems that I vaguely heard that I want to be independent, but out of righteousness, they kept their mouths shut and haven't told the boss and his wife yet." "It's all men who are kept in the dark." Masako couldn't help muttering.As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that this vulgar saying was more realistic about her current situation, so she quickly took a sip of the water in the glass. "It's annoying, do people in the store know that I'm your investor?" Masako said with a blushing face. "It doesn't matter, no one knows, because I usually tell them that there are mountains and forests left by my deceased father in my hometown." "Is your hometown in Kyushu?" "Oh, yes." "Where is Kyushu?" "Miyazaki Prefecture, the countryside." "Oh, there are many mountains and forests in that area, and Hinata cedar is famous, right?" "You know a lot. Did your husband take you there when he was on a business trip?" "You are so stupid. Why do securities companies go to such a place? Even if they take women on business trips, they also bring other women. He seems to have a lot of women." "I understand how you feel." "I don't want your sympathy. I gave him freedom. He has earned a lot of money over the years, but I turned a blind eye to him." "Excuse me, are you really only 10 years apart?" "He is 51 years old, one round away!" "So, he's still young, and he became a manager at such a young age." "He's a country boy, and he works like a dog." "I'm also from the country." "Yes, you are very similar in terms of work and seriousness, but you are very different in ability. You have artistic talent, but he is a mediocre man who has no decent hobbies except making money." "However, I don't know anything about making money, and I don't have much interest in it." "That's good, don't be so greedy, many young people are like that now. But in the future, you will make money." "I do not believe." "With your talent and skills, you will soon become a first-class beautician. Anyone who sees my hairstyle is full of praise. Well, is it a compliment? I can tell it from their expressions and eyes. It can be seen that it is admiration from the heart.” "I have worked hard to suit your personality, and I am honored to satisfy you." "Isn't that what you say when you entertain other guests?" "No, other customers have some business flattery, but you are the only one who tells the truth to my wife." "yes?" Masako stared at the ceiling.The lights went out and the room was pitch black.The content of the conversation is the continuation of the previous conversation, but the location has changed.The thick curtains were left open to make the windows fully lit, and through the gaps in the curtains, the street lamps below could be seen illuminating the night sky like an aurora.However, more and more high-rise buildings have surpassed this seventeen-story hotel recently, and the light area has reached half-empty.You can also see that there is a place that is brightly lit, as bright as day, like a baseball field for night games. There is no disturbing stare from the manager of the "Yashima" restaurant here, but a sealed single room, the sound from the outside cannot come in, and the sound from the inside cannot come out.Just now I heard the sound of water in the neighboring room, so of course I could hear a little bit of it if I used the bath water indiscriminately.It was the sound of the water that woke her up from her doze. "But," Masako said, pressing Sayama's foot with her leg, "that Miss Edamura, you seem to be very affectionate to her. When I arrived at the shop, you also concentrated on styling her hair, and whispered something cheerfully. She talks the same way she talks to me!" "This is done according to your order. It is the same for my guests. For business, there is no way. Can't you tell the difference?" "I can't tell the difference. Once, I looked in at the door of the store and saw you were doing Zhicun's hairstyle, so I left without making a sound." "I know, what I saw in the mirror, don't do this in the future." "How old is Miss Edamura?" "Ha, there are about twenty-seven people." "Not yet married" "I guess so." "I hate it!" Masako threw herself into Sayama's arms, pressing down hard. "After you open the store, you can accept any customers, but you can't serve Zhicun, absolutely not!" Michio Sayama stood in the room with the lights out.Through the window with the curtains open, you can see the night view of Tokyo.The lights are colorful, and the bright moon hanging in the sky looks white. The faint light outside the window reflects the mess on the bed, and the shadows of the folded blankets and the checks of the mattress are like a picture. The bathroom door opened, letting in a bright light.Masako showed her face. "Come and help me." Masako stood in front of the mirror.Cosmetics taken out of the bag were placed on the shelf in front of him, and water was placed in the bathtub next to it. The white porcelain tank was dazzled by the light, and the remaining bath water accumulated in the corner of the bathtub, and the warm water vapor faintly wandering in the bathroom.After the intercourse, Masako's body and mind still had no aftertaste. "Come and help me fix it." It turned out to be a haircut.Dolph turns behind the busty Masako.Two faces were reflected in the mirror, the fat woman's face was fair, and the thin man's face was swarthy.Women use make-up to modify older round faces, and men's vibrant eyes are professional at the moment. Dolph played with Masako's head with both hands.She has a round face. In order to modify it into a duck egg shape, the front hair should be rolled up, the right side should be parted, and waves should be made on the top of the head. This is her favorite hairstyle.The man fiddled with his fingers nimbly, while the woman closed her eyes leisurely.The man picked up three or four barrettes on the shelf and clipped them to her head.Less than 2 minutes before and after. "is this okay?" If it is in the store, he will say, are you satisfied? Masako turned around and smiled in the mirror with satisfaction. "Every time you make it so beautiful for me." She took down the stick of lipstick that stood like a bullet on the shelf, and applied it to her parted lips. After putting on the lipstick, she pressed a thin piece of paper on her lips, glanced at him and said: "Go and see the location tomorrow, l o'clock, the old place, don't be late." "I'm afraid I can't make it at 1 o'clock, but 2:30 is okay." "Can't it be at 1 o'clock?" Just after she asked this question, she seemed to think of something suddenly, her face was pulled down, and she hurriedly stuffed the cosmetics on the shelf into her handbag, staring directly at Dove: "Do you have a date with Zhicun at 1 o'clock?" "no. "That's strange. Has she been here today?" "Well, it was around 11 in the morning, and she came to fix her hair..." "Look, that was the secret agreement at that time, right? While fiddling with her hair, she whispered in her ear, just like she did to me at the beginning." "No shadow." "Oh, isn't that how you treat me?" "That's not the case with Edamura. She is also an ordinary customer. I have no interest in her. Didn't I say it several times!" "She is quite interested in you! Really, this is a woman's intuition." "That's your wild guess." "What? Tell you, I've been watching you all the time!" "You look at Zhicun with special eyes, which makes me hard to understand." "Oh! Hate you defending her!" "It's not an excuse. How can I be ungrateful if you are so kind to me?" "Okay, don't forget this!" "Of course, thanks to you, I was able to stand alone and have a place in society." "I don't like it when you say that, am I just your benefactor?" "Oh! Love you. Although you give me a lot materially, if you don't love me, I will refuse it. I'm not that mean." "I am the same. I support you financially because I love you. Using money as the medium of love is dangerous. Don't think this is a game for rich wives to have fun, I mean it I love you, think about you, and help you." "thanks!" "You are so strange. You are neither a handsome man nor a charismatic face, but you have fascinated me so deeply." Masako looked at Dofu's face carefully. "I also feel that my appearance and figure are mediocre, and I have a sense of inferiority in my heart, so I really didn't know what to do with your kindness at first." "Your ordinary appearance reassures women. If you are a handsome man or have an outstanding appearance, it will make women feel uneasy all day long. Well, let alone young girls, women of our age have to consider various situations. You have a strong sense of being victimized, and you are especially careful about those who are lustful. Your ordinary appearance like air reassures me, and I always feel very kind, it is this kind of reassurance and kindness that fascinates me." "How should I answer this?" "Okay, you don't need to answer... But, you have to answer me carefully about Tongzhi Village. Is there really no date at 1 o'clock tomorrow?" "Of course." "Then why can't you go?" "The shop owner is coming back from the Hokkaido seminar, and it happens to be around 12 o'clock." "What, Murase bought it back?" "Yeah, as soon as Murase came back to the store, I would go out right away. It's not appropriate, so I want to postpone it later." "So that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier!" After leaving the bathroom, Masako came to the window, as if to eliminate the loneliness of being locked in a small room, and enjoyed the night view illuminated by the street lights outside the window.She took out the cigarettes from the pack while Doffer lit the lighter.The small flames turned Masako's nose, round chin, and thick neck red. "Thank you!" She exhaled a puff of white smoke, blowing out the flames.Dove took a quick step back.This gesture pleased her quite a bit.His unobtrusive appearance and the gratification of her vanity by his courteous manner complemented each other, the latter largely due to professional habit. "How many days has Murase been to Hokkaido?" "For a week, I traveled to Xiaobo, Asahikawa, Tomakomai, Kushiro, and Obihiro." "Your store is so busy, you still go out often?" "We need to extend our reputation to every place, and let beauticians everywhere think he is first-class. Not only Murase, but everyone will leave their jobs in Tokyo and run outside whenever they have the opportunity." "Is Murase top-notch in the beauty industry?" "He thinks so himself." "Well, it turns out that you don't have any self-knowledge." "You have a great mouth." "I'm just telling the truth. Who else is attending that workshop?" "Shinichi Yamada from Yamada Esthetic Room, Kumiko Okaji from Okaji Esthetic..." "Well, yes, I've heard that they all belong to the Mary Murano system." "yes. "The three of them are on par, maybe Detian is a little stronger?" "yes." "Where is it hosted this time?" "Toho Medical Equipment Store." "Oh, a maker of medical tools?" "Yes, we also produce dryers." "By the way, it's that kind of drying cylinder. It's not clear which company produces anything now, because the company has multiple businesses concurrently these days." "Your husband is very familiar with these business affairs. He is the boss of a securities company." "Don't talk about my husband!" "Sorry." "If you want to take revenge on me for talking about Zhicun, then I won't forgive you!" "Never meant that." "Oh, then I blamed you. ... Hey, it would be great if you could go to the local seminar as a lecturer as soon as possible." "Oh, I've only just started to build my own beauty salon, these are just dreams for me." "Don't say that!" Masako strongly objected, "With your talent, not to mention Murase, even Yamada will be inferior to you, and Tsukuru will emerge soon. Anything you can think of, you can do it, I will help you too." "thank you!" "To become a lecturer, you need to find a way, right?" "I'm afraid I still have to look for it." "Where's the money?" "Before becoming a lecturer, you must obtain the corresponding qualifications, that is to say, you must have a certain reputation in the society." "Oh, is the name published in the newspaper?" "Yes, there are many hairstyle photos of models published in professional beauty magazines, and it is marked as the work of someone. It is impossible not to introduce them there." "Is that the way to find the magazine?" "This method is very effective. Of course, it would be the best to be recommended by a big shot in the beauty industry, but I don't want to follow the big shot's ass and sycophant." "This is exactly your strength, you are independent! It is not good to flatter and curry favor with big people, only worthless people would do that." "That's right, I'm a country guy, and I don't know how to curry favor with big shots." "You are so self-confident that you are talented. It's amazing! However, if you think about certain places, you can't do without the recommendation of big people. It's not about inferiority. It's necessary to ask them to take care of you and help you become famous. It's not worth offending those big people. !" "Like me, those big people don't know I exist." "I mean you have to be mentally prepared for this kind of thinking. ... Yes, there is no good way. It seems that the beauty salon will be built soon. Now it is a good way to start building relationships with magazines. Those magazines The social funds must not be much, if I don’t have such a relationship with you, go back and tell my husband, he will definitely take care of them.” The wife of the manager of the securities company knows some of his financial power from her husband, but unfortunately she cannot move him in this relationship. Michio Sayama, who came downstairs first, was sitting on a sofa in the lobby far away from the reception desk.At half past ten, there are very few people in this mixed place at the moment.In front of her, a young foreign woman was reading a newspaper with her legs crossed; opposite, an elderly foreign couple were talking in a low voice.Japanese are all men. Hatano Masako got off the elevator and walked to the checkout counter.The slightly chubby body looks a bit funny.She was not fat.From her figure, Dove felt the majesty of her wealthy wife from an upper-class family.Even now, it must be so in the eyes of others. He looked at Masako nonchalantly from a distance.It was as if she had turned her face to beckon this way.She paid.Probably a foreign airliner arrived, and a group of crew members and stewardesses gathered in front of the service desk. They both entered and exited the hotel separately, and did not walk in the lobby or take the elevator together, because they would inevitably be seen.Masako was more worried than Dofu.She was afraid of being caught by friends or her husband's acquaintances, but Dolph had no scruples. Masako settled the bill, turned her head to look this way with the bag in her hand, and nodded slightly.Dolph nodded quietly. After Masako exited the revolving door, Dove sat on the sofa for another 10 minutes, waiting until Masako took a taxi away. He is still immersed in the luxurious atmosphere of a first-class hotel.The hall in Fulitang brings people's hearts into the world of ephemeral elegance, which makes people feel privileged to look down on the poor.There are long glass mirrors inlaid on the carved cream walls, and ornate crown lights hang from the ceiling.Small 19th-century reproductions hung in the Gecoco-style hall—in this beauty parlor, the ladies enjoyed the services of the beautician with shy pretentiousness.These are all included in Dove's blueprint. "After you open the shop, anyone can, but you can't serve Zhicun!" Masako Hatano's voice echoed in his ears. The feeling of a big woman is not dull, and Sachiko Edamura's current situation is no different from the situation before Masako fell into his hands.The tall, not-so-beautiful 27-year-old was a necessity for Dolph. It is said that she rents an expensive apartment, usually dresses well, speaks elegantly, socializes with celebrities, and has a vague contempt for them in her speech.It all stems from her profession. Sachiko Edamura's "occupation" is exactly what Dofu needs and will be of great use in the future.Hatano Masako is worthless. 10 minutes passed.Doffer stood up slowly and went out the revolving door.There are taxis parked outside.The tall buildings retreated one after another, and the streets full of people flowed rapidly to the rear. Thirty or forty minutes later, Michio Sayama was in another completely different world.Time and space are not connected.There is no bird's-eye view of the city street from high-rise buildings here, only small houses crowded in narrow alleys, the vast night sky is depressing, and the moon does not know where to hide. There is no elevator here, only a narrow, dilapidated iron staircase attached to the outside of the apartment; no revolving door, only a single door with peeling paint. Open the door, there is a note on the ground. On the paper with the words "Murase Beauty Room" printed on the corner, there is a message written in pencil: "Please come to my house for breakfast tomorrow. Mioko Murase" It's the lady boss.This is a kind of "favor" to the employees of Taizhuzi in the store.It must have been delivered by a maid in the shop.Doffer tore up the note. He sat on the tatami, smoking a cigarette for a long time in a daze.The ceiling is dark, the tatami is reddish-brown, the sliding door is covered with stains, and there is a bookcase next to a rough table in the corner, which contains "Physics and Chemistry", "Dermatology", "Physiology and Anatomy", etc. "Sanitary Code", "Sterilization Law", "Infectious Diseases", "Theory of Cosmetology", "Science of Cosmetic Dermatology", besides "The Latest Collection of Hairstyles", "The Feeling of Hairstyles", "Murano Hairstyle Techniques" ", "My Technical Secrets", "Skills Tutorial" and other thick books are all carefully written by the teachers, and there are also some women's clothing magazines, entertainment magazines, etc., and the rest are given by customers as gifts Eight Complete Works of Japanese Literature. Compared with the hotel room, it is still quiet here, after all, it is my own house.But this is by no means satisfying.
