Chapter 431 Become a store manager from today

What happens in the universe will not affect the remote earth for the time being.

After resigning from the Earth Defense Force, Gu Chen began to wander around Tokyo, looking for a place to stay.

It is true that he could go to Muramatsu Toshio or Hayata to join them, and it would not be difficult to find a job to support his family.

But Gu Chen didn't want to do this. It would be too much trouble for Muramatsu Toshio and the others. Why not move around more, maybe he could find a good job?

Thinking like this, Gu Chen walked around on the street, walking here and looking there.

As soon as he walked around, a store attracted Gu Chen's attention.

I saw a piece of paper taped to the rolling shutter door of a store. On the paper, there were big words like "Want Shop for Lease" written on it. It was obvious that the store was being rented out.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind. Maybe it would be good to rent this store and open a pastry shop or something.

Because when Gu Chen was young, his family owned a pastry shop. However, as he grew up, the income from the pastry shop could not support the family's expenses, so he had to close the shop and find another way out.

Looking back now, Gu Chen also misses that time very much.

Coupled with the fact that he is forever separated from his past family members, perhaps it would be a good idea to commemorate his past in this way.

So, Gu Chen found a public phone booth and made a call according to the contact information left on the store's rolling shutter door.

Soon, the contract was negotiated with the shop owner and the shop was rented.

Although the shop owner wanted Gu Chen to buy the entire shop directly, Gu Chen didn't know how long he could be in this business, so he declined the shop owner's proposal and just rented it.

After renting the store, subsequent decoration is naturally necessary. Fortunately, Gu Chen has a lot of savings, so he can completely afford this expense.

What really troubled Gu Chen was the series of procedures that needed to be prepared before opening a store.

Fortunately, these are easy to solve. Basically, it can be settled with just a phone call to Advisor Takenaka.

Although he was embarrassed to ask Staff Takenaka to help him a little, Gu Chen decided to repay him by making some big cakes for him after the store opened for business, even though Staff Takenaka may not need such a reward. .

Therefore, after a period of time, Gu Chen's pastry shop was finally able to officially open for business.

The raw materials and equipment have been prepared. Gu Chen also mastered the pastry making skills during this period, and also passed the exam.

Therefore, the learning ability that has been greatly improved through the transformation of oneself through the light of Tiga is really overkill and overqualified for use in these aspects.

It's a pity that Gu Chenlei can't stand it.

……

"Ah, sister, there's a new cake shop here. Let's go in and have a taste, okay?"

As such a sound came, the door of the store was pushed open from the outside, and then a small figure rushed in and leaned on the cabinets filled with various cakes, breads, and biscuits. I almost drooled on it.

On the first day of business, Gu Chen, who had not made any publicity, was sitting in the store leisurely drinking coffee, but he did not expect to receive his first customer so soon.

"welcome."

Adhering to professional ethics, Gu Chen still greeted the guests, but when he saw the two guests, one large and one small, in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Jiro, slow down."

At this time, a woman followed the child in front and walked into the store. After reminding the child named Jiro, she looked at Gu Chen with an apologetic look and nodded immediately.

"It doesn't matter. Let's take a look at what the customers need. Today is the first day of opening. You are also my first customer, so I'll give you a 5% discount."

Gu Chen smiled, expressed that he didn't mind Jiro's behavior, and then gave a huge discount with professional enthusiasm.

After hearing this, regardless of whether the food in this store is delicious or not, I first have the urge to spend money to take advantage.

"Sister, there's a 5% discount. Let's buy a little more and take it back to Brother Xiang to try."

After Jiro heard Gu Chen's words, he immediately turned his head, looked at his sister expectantly, and said.

"Okay, okay, look at what you want to eat."

Hearing this, Jiro's sister had a smile on her face that said, "There's nothing I can do about you." Then she and Jiro picked out the bread together.

"If I guessed correctly, they should be Sakata Akiko and Sakata Jiro. I really didn't expect that I would meet them in this way."

Looking at the two siblings who were choosing cakes and bread, Gu Chen said secretly in his heart.

What Gu Chen didn't even know was that there was a car repair shop on the corner of the street where he rented the shop, and this car repair shop happened to be named Sakata.

"Store manager, that's all, please."

After a while, Sakata Akiko and Sakata Jiro selected the bread.

"Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly."

After Gu Chen neatly packed the bread for the two of them, he successfully completed his first business.

Not as difficult as he imagined, but not as easy as he imagined.

However, today's business may be due to the lack of publicity, so there were not many customers throughout the whole day.

Gu Chen was also happy and relaxed about this, and he could still take the time to call Muramatsu Toshio and others, telling them where he had opened a store and that he would contact them frequently if anything happened.

But Gu Chen didn't expect that his leisurely life of opening a shop would come to an abrupt end the next day.

Early the next morning, Gu Chen got up early and started baking bread, cakes, etc., also experiencing the life that his father had experienced in the past.

After preparing everything, Gu Chen, who was finally done with his work, planned to spend the new day leisurely, but he didn't expect that at noon, many customers suddenly appeared in the store.

At this moment, Gu Chen was so busy that he had to move between different customers, introducing the characteristics of various breads to them, and then went to pay the bill at the shouts of other customers.

As a result, in just half a day, all the bread made in the morning was sold out, and even the cakes and biscuits were not spared by others.

Looking at the shop that was "swept away", Gu Chen, who was finally free because the bread was sold out, couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"It's really strange. I didn't spend any money on publicity. Where did these customers come from? Is it possible that Consultant Takenaka is secretly supporting my business?"

Thinking like this, Sakata Akiko and Sakata Jiro appeared outside the store again.

Looking at the time, it turned out that it was already time for school to end. Sakata Akiko must be free at this moment to pick up Sakata Jiro from school.

"Store manager, we are here again. Do you still have the bread we bought yesterday?"

The next second, the store door was opened from the outside, and Sakata Akiko's voice sounded at the same time.
