Chapter 5 Chapter Four

After arriving in Tokyo, Aozuka and Aju still often said that that incident was incredible.It was seen half a year ago, like a dream during the day. Qingzuka brought Aju to Tokyo, and with the 200,000 yen stolen from the shipping company, they rented a cheap apartment to live together.Because of his work experience in a newspaper office, Aozuka got a job as a proofreader in a printing factory.Aju worked as a waitress in a roast bird shop in Asakusa, which was also due to her experience as a waitress in a hot spring hotel. The proofreading work is a night shift, and I don’t return to the apartment until late at night, and the roast bird shop also operates at night, so it’s just right.Aju also leaves the house very late in the morning, and Qingzuka is also not early.The two talked sometimes over dinner, and sometimes in bed in the morning.

"It's like a dream when I think about it now, I can't tell if it's real or not?" Aju said, shaking her fat face after arriving in Tokyo. "But, I really saw it. Not one person saw it, but two people saw it at the same time, so it can't be wrong." Qingzuka said naturally. They had to say this, because the evidence was only the four eyes of the two, and it had been half a year, so they couldn't help but feel a little unreliable. "However, if it's true, someone should have discovered it and reported it. We didn't leave the hot spring area for a full month after that incident." Aju said, looking into the distance with her small eyes.

"Hasn't anyone found out within a month? After we left Shangshan Hot Spring, we don't know what happened?" "However, the newspaper did not publish it afterwards." "The newspaper here has not published it, but the local newspaper may have published it in the past six months." "If it has been published, it should be mentioned in Fuzi's letter." "Hey, why are you still communicating with Fuzi?" "Don't worry, you just spent a little more money from the company. The police won't find you. Maybe the company didn't call the police at all, and it was resolved internally, right? So far, there has been no movement? If it's because of my correspondence with Fuzi, If it turned out to be a clue, the police would have come and taken you away."

"I still can't be too relieved." Although Qingzuka said this, he also felt that what Aju said was right, and he never felt the eyes of the police around him. "At that time, you were too worried about this matter, so you didn't tell the police about the discovery of the body. In fact, you could have called the police." "Don't say stupid things. It was different then and now. Everyone knew that dealing with the police at that time would only lead to danger." "Because you were so afraid of the police at the time, I thought you had committed some heinous crime. After listening to you, I realized that it was nothing more than that. It's ridiculous."

"You have no nerve." Even though Qingzuka said this, he still felt that she might indeed be much more courageous.When I first arrived in Tokyo, I didn't care about working in a restaurant in Asakusa, and even got tips no less than veteran waiters. In the end, Qingzuka couldn't get rid of her because she was too sticky.Of course, on the other hand, it is also due to the leak of his own secret.When a person's weakness is in the hands of the other person, it will increase intimacy.She also has selfish reasons for not letting him go, and she also doesn't want to stay in the hot spring hotel in the mountains, so she clings to Qingzuka tightly.And maybe the luck will be even worse after arriving in the metropolis.

However, Qingzuka's first luck came.It was a little luck. One day, Aozuka saw news of recruiting reporters from a newspaper advertisement.It is an industry publication called "Culinary World Newsletter", which mainly reports on the art of eating in hotels, restaurants, restaurants, etc., as well as the trend of fashion and business policies.The office is in a small building, and there is only one editorial office. Aozuka has experience as a reporter, so he will speak out frankly.If it is considered, it may ask his old supervisor about him, and then it may be revealed that he embezzled the freight company's public funds.However, decided to put all his eggs in one basket.If you are unlucky, not only will you not be adopted, but maybe the police will come to your door.

However, that is unnecessary worry, just as Aju said.Received the admission notice the next day. The salary is very low, and the proofreading work in a small printing factory is better.However, having worked in a local newspaper, he knows that such industry publications have a lot of benefits. The reporter also pulls advertisements, and this kind of advertisement sometimes almost becomes an act of intimidation, all for the purpose of money. In fact, the president stated that a few percent of the advertising fee will be kicked back by the solicitors. The kickback is the main income of the veteran journalists, and the salary is just a subsidy.

However, some people hated this style of work and resigned, so reporters became short-staffed.For the president, the journalists who write the articles are not important, and it doesn't matter if you hire more journalists who earn advertising fees. On the evening of the inauguration, Qingzuka asked Aju first.Although she is a waitress at the Yamanaka Hot Spring Hotel, she knows a little bit about business operations, so she should be able to serve as a reference. Aju talked about tax evasion methods and hospitality secrets of rural hot spring hotels, etc., which seems to be a reference for urban restaurants.

In the beginning, Aozuka only interviewed small restaurants like ramen shops, but after getting the hang of it, he gradually changed to visit larger restaurants and restaurants.Hotels are also respectful. However, as my courage grew, I mustered up the courage to enter luxurious and high-end restaurants.Of course it's just an interview, and it takes a lot of training before I dare to advertise. Some interviewees stayed away when they heard that it was "Culinary World Communication", while others ridiculed it.It can be seen that this publication is for advertising purposes.However, any business has its weaknesses, and some people let him into the inner room of the office, or the "President's Office" because they are afraid of "future troubles" caused by this weakness.

Qingzuka's articles are all flattery, and he doesn't mention advertisements at the beginning, only praises blindly.The editor-in-chief never speaks a second word to this kind of article, because he has long understood that this kind of fawning article will soon become money. About two months later, Qingzuka began to pay attention to a restaurant called "Simei". The main store of "Simei" is in Akasaka, and there are seven or eight branches in the city. It is a chain restaurant, and the business is very prosperous. Moreover, "Simei" also operates bowling alleys, and has two in the most prosperous area. It is said that the recent development of "Simei" chain stores relies on the surplus of the bowling alley as capital.The president is called Ichisaka Hidehiko, and he is about fifty years old.

I heard that Ichisaka is from Kansai, and his business skills shocked the industry.Of course, there are quite a few people who slander him, saying that he is not Japanese, that the shareholders are usurers, and so on.However, the design of his store is unique, different from the style of ordinary stores, and no one can deny that it is very attractive.Ichisaka is indeed a person who is good at conception, and his ideas are fully applied to the menu.It is also said that Ichisaka was originally a chef of a western restaurant in Kansai, but he himself does not deny it. Aozuka has been to the main store of "Simei" in Akasaka several times, but he has never met President Ichisaka.Because the chain stores are scattered all over the country, he has to visit the branches and often travels to other places.However, being able to interview "Simei" is already a great achievement.Because "Simei" is the target of industry publications. About three weeks later, Aozuka captured President Ichisaka himself.For Qingzuka, this is tantamount to capturing luck.
