Chapter 30 second quarter

After Muto said goodbye to Xia Zhi at the entrance of the "Dessert Palace", he took the escalator down to the third floor, and then took the escalator up the stairs. When he reached the fourth floor, he hesitated for a moment before walking towards the sky garden. There are two doors leading to the Sky Garden. After passing through the first door, Muto searched for Xia Zhi through the glass. He saw Xia Zhi and Ichikawa Yasushi also sitting on the seats with white parasols propped up, and the two sat diagonally opposite each other, having a lively conversation. The water fountain show in the center of the square finally started.The children were frolicking among them, Natsuori and Kyouya watched the water fountain and chatted while watching, seeming completely unaware that Muto was standing behind the glass door.

Did I really win Ichikawa Kyouya? — Muto was timid again.Looking at the appearance of the two chatting with forgetfulness, it is a world that no one else can intervene.Could it be that Xia Zhi has already made a decision, and they are confirming something?Has my passionate speech just now disappeared from Xia Zhi's heart?Did the things I said never reach Xia Zhi's heart? A chill ran through the depths of my heart.Muto felt his heart gradually freeze. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind. "Mr. Muto, what are you doing here?" Muto was startled.Looking back, it turned out to be Reiko Ogata.

"Scare me!" Muto felt as if his feet were suddenly weak. "And why are you here?" "I'm here to find out about the event... Why is Muto-san standing here like a turtle? Aren't you going out?" "No, no need!" Lizi glanced at the square through the glass, nodded as if she understood clearly, and urged: "Go in! I have something to tell you." "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you." The two returned to the fourth floor through the glass door, and stood face to face in front of the floor guide map. Muto said to Reiko: "You talk first!"

"Minister Takaoka asked me to tell you that because this dessert carnival was very successful, I hope you can make a new plan as soon as possible. The next time it should be about Christmas." "When winter comes, we have to promote chocolate." "Maybe want to warm up for Valentine's Day and try something!" "Should I continue to undertake it?" "Don't worry, I heard that a formal team will be formed next time, so even if Mr. Muto and I are included in the pocket list, you have the right to refuse, right? I think, whether it is self-recommendation or someone else's recommendation, the people you find should be dessert generalists right."

"I don't care, but it's better for you to stay?" "It depends on the content of the project! If it's the kind of work that looks for high-end brands and compiles catalogs for sale, I'm really not interested. I still prefer the kind of project that holds events at the main store or branches. After all, I rely on my own strength to discover delicious food. dessert, but it’s an unspeakable pleasure!” "I see……" "What would you like to talk to me about, Mr. Muto?" Muto will tell Reiko about his idea of ​​proposing to Xiaori at the cafe of "Sweet Palace".Muto's idea is to make desserts under the name of "Dessert Palace" and expand the territory of online shopping, that is, to invite several excellent pastry chefs to form a team and develop products, and hope that Morisawa Xiaori can also join in the grand event.

Lizi listened to Muto's explanation with bright eyes, and finally said: "I think this idea is good, you can mention it to the minister!" Then said: "Mr. Muto, do you want to implement this project yourself?" "Since I proposed the case, of course I have to take responsibility! But I still don't know much about desserts, so I need a dessert expert like Ms. Ogata to help me choose products. If you are willing to help me, that would be great. I'm in charge of all the chores, and I'll trouble you about selecting the pastry chef and evaluating the taste."

"Sounds very interesting! Did Miss Morisawa agree?" "She said let her think about it." "Yeah. Because there's something else to think about?" "Ms. Morisawa intends to leave 'Goldfinch' and move to another store." "Huh? Didn't leave the industry! Is there any problem?" "I like the desserts made by Ms. Morisawa, but if she moves to another store, she must match the style of that store, right? It's a pity to lose her personal dessert characteristics." "Just changing the working environment, will there be such a big change?"

"The store she wants to go to, I heard that the style is completely different, and Ms. Morisawa herself said that it may change." "Even if the quality and style have changed, as long as it maintains a certain standard, it's still delicious! Mr. Muto, are you worrying too much?" "can you……" "I understand. Otherwise, it's fine. Let's go back to the 'Dessert Palace' now, invite Mr. Muto to sit in the coffee shop, order ten new products this time, and then eat them all in front of me, so that I am willing to assist Muto Mr. promotes this project and will also help convince Ms. Morisawa."

"Really?" "yes." The colorful cakes began to spin in Muto's mind. The sweet and creamy aroma not only stimulated the tongue, but also weighed heavily on the stomach.It sounds like a good deal to get Reiko's assistance as long as you eat a cake.The problem is, ten is too many. After thinking for a while, Muto asked with a wry smile: "Can't we just eat two?" "No," Li Zi flatly refused: "Ten, never give in." "Too strict!" "Please think about it, isn't Mr. Muto making the same request to Ms. Morisawa? Isn't he just forcing her to agree to something she can't do at all?"

Muto frowned. "I just value Miss Morisawa's talent, and I don't mean to force her at all." "Is it really?" "yes!" "In that case, why hide there and peek at them?" "I just happened to be passing by." "Yeah? That's good." Reiko smiled.Her eyes, which seemed to see through everything, were not so much blaming Muto for his guilty conscience, as she wanted to cheer him on. Facing the silent Muto, who looked like an awkward child, Reiko said: "Miss Morisawa is a pastry chef who will continue to grow in the future, so she must get assistance and opportunities from a third party, but all of this must be done by herself. The meaning is the most important... You know, it is impossible to have everything you want in this world."

"Of course I understand that." "Even if Ms. Morisawa doesn't participate, Mr. Muto will promote this project, right?" Promoting projects without Natsuri's participation?Muto didn't even think about it.For him, at least it was because of Xia Zhi that he had such an idea.So what's the point of working on desserts in a place where there is no Xiazhi, and in a place that has nothing to do with Xiaori? "If Ms. Morisawa did not participate, there would be no such project." Muto said. "At least at this stage, this project is based on my preferences." "What a pity." "Otherwise, I'll leave this proposal to you. Anyway, if you like desserts so much, you can definitely come up with a better proposal than me. I will try my best to promote other work... Actually, that's what I planned at the beginning." "You still can't like dessert?" "Yeah! Without any emotional connection, it's really hard for me to like dessert." "I understand. I will try to talk to Minister Takaoka about the project you mentioned, maybe it can be done!"
