Chapter 28 New Staff Membership
Although the recruitment of Yuyue Store was not deliberately advertised, what is a ninja? It is the messenger at the forefront of world intelligence.
Of course they would not miss such the latest and most noteworthy news.
Especially those who were already very interested for various reasons, came to apply for the job early in the morning.
However, those who got second-hand information were not so lucky.
Intelligence, like fresh fruit, requires timeliness.
Even if it was once snapped up, it will be scrapped once the validity period expires.
At least when Might Guy knew about it, it was already the end.
But the boy did not give up just like that.
——If he gives up so easily, is he still Might Guy?
Of course not!
He is Might Guy, an indomitable man who will never back down no matter what difficulties or dangers he faces!
So he not only rushed over like a gust of wind, but also shouted outside the door persistently:
"I'm here to apply for a job! Please give me a test!"
“It’s over.”
Yu Yue came out and said with a smile on her face.
She knew this boy with a bowl-cut haircut, and could even say that he was her lucky star.
If he hadn't shouted at the door of the store that he wanted to compete with Kakashi, he wouldn't have been able to push forward the "Sugar Syrup Competition" plan so smoothly and quickly.
Now that she has achieved this result and started new business, Yu Yue feels somewhat grateful.
So the attitude towards him was also very pleasant:
"Come earlier next time."
The boy with the bowl-cut hair looked suddenly depressed, as if he had suffered a great blow.
But he immediately cheered up again, looking at Yu Yue with shining eyes:
"Please! Please give me a chance!"
"What the sugar syrup competition failed to decide, I will definitely decide with my work!"
Hatake Kakashi: ???
"Hello."
The silver-haired boy instinctively sensed something bad was happening.
"That's work." It's not a joke or anything.
"That's right!" The boy seemed even more energetic. "Because it's work, we have to be more serious and concentrate! This is the best event in our competition!"
No distraction, no escape, time, speed, efficiency
Aspect test.
This is simply the perfect competition scene!
Might Guy also thought a lot after he returned.
He admired Kakashi's serious work attitude and spirit, but he also understood that if he continued like this, he would not be able to compete with Kakashi again.
After all, for a ninja, the mission is everything.
There was no way he was going to disturb Kakashi's mission for the sake of a competition.
If Kakashi really delayed his work because of the competition with him, he would feel bad.
However, this meant that the plan to compete with Kakashi would be shelved.
"Unless I can find an opportunity in the same mission, but the possibility is too low..." Especially since Kakashi's main job now is with Miss Ugetsuki, he may not take other tasks in the short term.
The boy with the pot-cut hair sighed.
……etc.
The same mission?
Might Guy's eyes lit up and he jumped up with a somersault.
Yes, as long as he can work with Kakashi, why would he be worried about not finding an opportunity to compete!
Selling competition! Carrying competition! Working hours competition!
All can be compared!
Since we can’t delay, choose to join!
As long as you join, it won’t be a delay!
In addition, he just happened to hear that Yuyue Store was recruiting, which made him even more excited.
'This is a great opportunity that God has arranged for him!'
With such passion, Might Guy became even more fanatical.
Even if he missed the time, he still wanted to fight for a chance.
He must not give up the good opportunity given by God just like that!
As the boy thought this, fire seemed to flash in his eyes.
The blazing fire made Yu Yue couldn't help but tilt her head back.
——It turns out that the phrase "there seems to be fire in the eyes" is not a metaphor, but a documentary literature?
It's more than just flaming up, it's literally burning fiercely.
Or are even the eyes of ninjas so special?
Seeing the boy so determined, Yu Yue rarely showed a conflicted expression.
Although she didn't intend to ruin the original plan, the other party was her lucky star... maybe there really was some buff?
But if a businessman puts everything on metaphysics, failure is inevitable.
After all, luck is something that is invisible and intangible, and it is not as stable as a practical plan or real goods.
"It doesn't matter if I don't get paid! I can do everything Kakashi does! Please, let me join you!"
"Okay, then you can come and start work tomorrow."
Yu Yue made the decision in one second.
...Whether he gets a salary or not is a small matter. What matters most is that I think this young man is very successful.
Of course, doing business cannot rely on metaphysics, but who doesn’t like a good start?
Everyone understands, right?
She is not some wicked and heartless businessman, so how could she not pay the wages?
However, it is not impossible to meet the other party's exciting request.
Just... I'll give you half the salary during the probation period. If you do a good job, you'll get a promotion, salary increase, bonus, and everything else.
Might Guy was ecstatic after hearing this: "Really! Thank you so much, Miss Ugetsu! You are such a good person!"
Hatake Kakashi gradually felt that he was out of tune with his surroundings for various reasons: ...
This doesn't sound like 'good', does it?
And that ominous premonition became even stronger.
He couldn't help rubbing his arms.
I always feel that the future will not be peaceful... No, I hope this is just an illusion.
Just like that, Might Guy's name was added to the staff list of Ugetsu Store.
And Ugetsu also made a small note at the back saying 'Team up with Kakashi'.
With these two people together, the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2 should be achieved.
——Night falls.
After a day's work, people returned home.
Uchiha Fugaku also walked into the gate under the light. After the Sugar Syrup Competition, the work pressure of the Konoha Guard was greatly reduced. They were finally able to go home at the normal time after get off work.
Although some people still have to take turns...but they are only a small number, and each person only takes a turn once every three or four days, so it's not a big problem.
Walking into the house at normal time, Uchiha Fugaku was a little dazed for a moment.
What on earth is this slight feeling of discomfort?
"I'm back."
"You're back. Thank you for your hard work."
Uchiha Mikoto greeted her husband.
"Where's Itachi?"
"Over there, Shisui."
The two had a brief conversation. Uchiha Itachi often worked with Shisui because of work.
Both parents have long been accustomed to it, so they don't have any other ideas.
"Um...Is it really okay for me to go to Miss Ugetsuki's place?"
Uchiha Mikoto asked hesitantly.
Although she went for an interview today and decided to join, she still had many concerns.
"If it's not appropriate, I'll go talk to Miss Yu Yue..."
Although I feel sorry for Miss Ugetsu's expectations, for the Uchiha clan members, family is everything.
There is no way she would abandon the family interests.
"What's the problem?"
Uchiha Fugaku raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, family-wise..."
After all, although the Uchiha were on missions, there was no precedent for them to work for outsiders.
"Don't worry about the family, just work hard."
Perhaps because he felt that this was too blunt, Uchiha Fugaku explained it a few more times.
"I think this is a good opportunity, a chance for the Uchiha to show goodwill and get along well with the outside world."
There are too many barriers between the Uchiha and the outside world.
Although they lived in Konoha, because the Uchiha lived almost exclusively in their own streets, and because the Konoha Guard was an exclusive position for the Uchiha, they had always had estrangements and frictions with the residents of the village.
Although this aspect reflects the uniqueness of the Uchiha, it also erects an invisible wall between the Uchiha and other residents, separating the two sides.
Honestly, if the Uchiha were just a separate clan, this wouldn't really have much of an impact.
But living in the same place brings a lot of problems.
Especially the three Ninja World Wars that just ended.
The village has indeed produced many heroes.
But, what about Uchiha?
Where is the 'strongest' Uchiha in Konoha?
Indeed, Uchiha Obito's name was written on the memorial tablet.
But what else?
Without the 'hero who defends the village', can the Uchiha really still be called the strongest family in Konoha?
He had discussed this issue with Minato Namikaze in the past.
But neither of them had any good solution - problems that accumulate over time can often only be solved with more time.
But the Uchiha don’t have that much time now... In fact, at this stage, time will only make things worse.
At this time
The discovery of the Yuyue Store was a godsend for the Uchiha.
Shisui and Itachi gained a lot of popularity by working there and teaching how to make syrup. The subsequent playful syrup competition even changed people's opinion of the Uchiha to a considerable extent.
As the captain of the Konoha Guard Force, he can feel the changes in the people in the village more clearly.
When the Uchiha from the security force went on patrol, people would talk or avoid them to some extent. But now, people started to greet them like they did in the past.
Resolving conflicts is also much easier than before.
For Uchiha Fugaku, all this proved that things were moving in a good direction.
That's why he decided to agree to let the other Uchiha go to Miss Ugetsu to help, and at the same time let Mikoto, as the clan leader's wife, take the lead and make a statement.
Just like Ms. Ugetsuki told Mikoto, as the clan leader's wife, she can take the lead.
Whether for Uchiha or Konoha, such a change is a good opportunity to start over.
Uchiha Fugaku felt that they could not miss this opportunity.
only……
He looked at his wife.
Vaguely:
"Now...if you're tired, you can stop at any time."
Uchiha Mikoto smiled.
"Don't forget, I'm also a ninja. How can I be so fragile?"
The already beautiful woman smiled brightly and gently touched her belly.
If only there could be a more peaceful and friendly environment.
Even if it is just for this goal, she is willing to try her best.
Elsewhere, people have also begun reporting on their job applications today.
For example, eliminated.
"Failed?" the middle-aged man said unhappily.
"Yes." The young man kneeled on one knee in front of the man and said sadly, "We didn't expect that they would prepare a test paper, and there was a difficult test question. We were not well prepared, so..."
"Humph, after all, since he is the one who can create such a big scene, it's normal that he can't insert spies."
He stood up and looked out the window.
"It's not your fault. I underestimated that little girl."
I thought I could take this opportunity to find out her secret recipe...but forget it.
There is a long way to go.
Except for people from other villages,
Also returned to the roots and started reporting.
From the written test to the interview, all the contents including the test questions were explained clearly.
He only hesitated at the very end.
"Ms. Yu Yue asked me if I could accept the use of my personal time, and...if the work delayed due to the mission might need to be made up double or even triple, I agreed to it."
In fact, it was not three times, but Xin felt that he was in the wrong, so he raised the upper limit.
He looked towards Danzo cautiously.
"If...if a single person cannot complete the workload at that time, in order to prevent Miss Ugetsuki and others from getting suspicious, I may need to use the power of Shinobu. Please forgive me."
Shimura Danzo:?
Forgive me?
I asked you to be a spy, and you haven't even gotten the intelligence back yet, and you still want to use my people to work for her?
Shimura Danzo was about to get angry on the spot, but when he thought that the other party agreed to this for the sake of his mission, he had to close his eyes and waved his hand to let the person go.
But even though Xin left, things couldn't just let go like that.
Danzo Shimura hasn't felt so aggrieved for a long time.
From the selection of the new Hokage to that damned sugar syrup competition, nothing went as he wished. It was as if something was specifically against him.
Shimura Danzo crushed the second hand of the chair.
Uchiha, and that damn Ugetsu store...
This is not over yet!
After the recruitment was completed, Yu Yue, who had recruited new employees, immediately began to develop in multiple areas.
In addition to the original syrup and blind boxes, milk tea also has a figurine project that will be launched simultaneously.
Other old employees are also not idle. In addition to their own work, they also have to lead the new employees to get started as soon as possible in the "old-to-new" model.
Because Might Guy was an old acquaintance of his, and Might Guy always called him Kakashi, Ugetsu paired the two of them together.
The silver-haired boy showed dead fish eyes.
The boy with the pot-cut hair was beaming with joy.
And they were extremely enthusiastic and started working immediately without wasting even a second.
"This is the workshop for making syrup."
Hatake Kakashi took him to familiarize himself with the internal structure first.
"Then this is the meeting room - but it's usually used as a workroom."
"Work? Like?"
Speaking of work,
Might Guy became excited.
"For example, packing blind boxes or something..."
“Blind box package!”
Might Guy's eyes brightened a little.
"Manually? One bag at a time?"
"...What else?"
Hatake Kakashi resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
If not pack them one by one, how can you pack them in handfuls?
The young Might Guy became even more excited.
"Then let's use this to compete! Kakashi!"
He got into the game right away.
"Let's see who is the real packaging king of Ugetsu Store!"
He even learned the ability to name things without any guidance.
Hello...
Hatake Kakashi looked at his former companion and now new colleague in disbelief:
"There's no such thing as a work competition."
Unexpectedly, the boy with the pot-covered hair retorted seriously after hearing this:
"It's work, so we should compete!"
"Other projects can be compared or not, but work is different. Work must be done, and we must be the strongest and best. Only through work can we show each other's true strength!"
The flames appeared in his eyes again.
"Come on Kakashi! Let's decide the outcome through work!!!"
Hatake Kakashi: ...
Hatake Kakashi: ???
…Please spare me!!!
Yu Yue was currently inspecting the orphanage's 'milk tea workshop' with two adults.
The trial operation on the day of the sugar syrup competition brought this novel drink into the public eye.
Although the price is slightly higher than regular drinks, it is not so expensive that it is unacceptable.
Plus, the texture and taste are very novel - at least in the short term, it will be a novel and popular option.
As a result, the orphanage also expanded its production scale and became more formal.
"In addition to the window ordering mode that is ready to go online, we have also prepared an ordering mode."
Pharmacist Kabuto took Yu Yue around to check the relevant equipment and warehouses.
"Because there are many ninja families in Konoha, we provide order services and unified delivery for these concentrated families."
As he spoke, he picked up a box in the warehouse.
There is a family crest painted on the bag.
"When the time comes, we will use boxes like this for unified delivery."
"What a great idea." Yu Yue couldn't help but praise, and the look she gave to Yakushi Kabuto became more and more friendly.
Excellent.
He is so smart at such a young age. With a little polish, he will definitely be a marketing genius.
The world of ninja is truly full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
"No, it's all Miss Yu Yue's advice."
Pharmacist Dou pushed his glasses down embarrassedly.
"If I hadn't seen what Miss Yu Yue did, I wouldn't have had this inspiration."
Although the time was short, Yakushi Kabuto actually learned about all of Miss Ugetsu's actions and business models since she integrated the store.
At the beginning, it was because this stranger was the only one who reached out to me and the orphanage, so I had to understand the other party's background before deciding whether to cooperate with him.
After all, even if the other party pays, whether it is manpower, storage or containers, everyone in the orphanage has to work hard together.
If it was just to tease them or just to say it casually, he would never forgive it.
However, the more I get to know her, the more I think Miss Yu Yue is amazing.
He was impressed by her business acumen and courage, as well as her determination to expand her business to the sugar syrup competition and make money from people from other countries and regions.
And it also opened a new door to his barren world.
It turns out that this can be done.
It turns out that becoming a ninja is not the only way to bring about change.
Ugetsu became the role model that Kabuto Yakushi admired.
"In addition, for these big customers, I am also going to give them some coupons that are only valid for milk tea and related products. If Miss Yu Yue allows, we will start preparing for customization immediately."
This is really wonderful.
Yu Yue didn't expect that the other party could grasp it so quickly after just watching her do it once.
Send coupons to group buying users.
In order to avoid wasting coupons, group buying users will definitely give priority to continuing to order.
Yu Yue nodded with satisfaction and offered her own opinion.
“Remember to add the expiration date.”
Without deadlines, people won't be nervous.
Without tension, it is difficult to make impulse purchases.
"I see."
The pharmacist nodded seriously and took out the
Wrote it down in a small notebook.
I learned new knowledge again.
'Limited time use'.
“And then the development of new flavors…”
Pharmacist Kabuto frowned.
"Everything is going well with the red bean milk tea, but the pudding and Bobo you mentioned will take some time."
He paused as he spoke.
"And taro paste...it's not that I can't make it, but can I really put it in there?"
Taro paste and milk tea don't sound like they go together.
"You can try it. If it doesn't work, you can use it to make snacks."
Yu Yue was quite surprised by the development speed.
As for the taro paste...
This development is not limited to use in milk tea.
Things like taro mochi, taro buns...can't they all be used?
It’s just filling anyway, so it doesn’t matter where you put it.
"Then there's the question of taste. The results of the survey have been compiled. I'll show them to you after the tour is over."
What is efficiency?
That's it.
Yakushi Nono and two adults were accompanying them.
Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina were almost in awe.
It was hard to believe that these two children could do this now. Yakushi Nono was much calmer, and just looked at them with a look of satisfaction.
"Is this really okay?"
Uzumaki Kushina sensed something strange with her feral intuition.
——I always feel that if this continues, they, the adults, will be trapped instead.
Although she didn't know how it was done.
"Isn't it great?"
Yakushi Nono smiled more cordially.
"As adults, we should certainly support children's efforts."
"Everything they get with their intelligence and talent, they deserve."
"It's not the right thing for a ninja to suppress someone just because they are strong."
Uzumaki Kushina was dizzy from her series of words.
"That's what I said, but..."
"You see, Lord Namikaze Minato is also a genius who became famous at a young age, but no one says anything bad about him."
“…That seems to be the case.”
Uzumaki Kushina was led astray by Yakushi Nono's powerful logic and completely forgot her initial doubts.
Instead, they began to support their children in their efforts to start their own businesses.
Children have talents, so we need to use them.
As an adult, of course I have to help them!
In fact, Uchiha Mikoto, who saw through Yakushi Nono's tactics: ...
Never mind, it’s no big deal.
As long as everyone is happy.
Apart from this order service, the rest is the window sales system.
In addition to the one window that will be opened in the Ugetsu Store, the remaining two windows will be opened one near the Hokage Building and the other on Uchiha Street.
In addition to the fact that the Uchiha themselves are big customers (they are really willing to spend money in the Sugar Syrup Competition), they also have ready-made Uchiha people and houses to use.
This saves both advertising and rent.
You should know that for a shop, rent, water and electricity are the biggest expenses.
Just like many workers who rent houses often jokingly say that they are not working for themselves, but for the landlord.
The same is true for opening a store.
So it’s better to save as much as possible in this regard.
Uchiha Nao was very flustered about receiving such a major project as he had just arrived.
——He didn’t even understand his job, but he was directly in charge of a window.
How can this be possible?
What if I screw up?
The boy, who had never done such a big thing in his life for more than ten years , suddenly didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Later, it was only after Yu Yue and Kabuto Yakushi took turns to comfort him and said that there was Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader's wife, to help him that he finally calmed down from his panic.
That’s right, there’s also the clan leader’s wife!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Nao had a vague urge to do something big.
Who doesn’t want to do something successful in life?
Especially since he's an Uchiha.
Even if I can't become a great ninja, I can't hold the Uchiha back.
He's fine, he's fine.
He wished he could start working right away.
Yu Yue likes young and promising employees like this who are striving to be the best, which of course is another kind of encouragement.
Let him make good preparations and strive to open the business early and start creating business miracles early.
As for the last shop near the Hokage Building.
She had already asked Asuma Sarutobi to go find a venue.
That's right, this shop closest to the Hokage Building, the busiest commercial district in Konoha Village, was going to be handed over to Sarutobi Asuma.
Although Yu Yue had no intention of using his identity as the 'son of the Hokage' to do anything, sending him to a commercial center where one would not be able to dominate without some status and strength would definitely help avoid most of the troubles.
There are almost no gang-related groups in Konoha Village because the law and order is maintained by ninjas and the Konoha Guard.
But it is inevitable that there will be some old stubborn people who take advantage of their seniority.
What Yu Yue wanted to avoid was being harassed or tripped up by these people.
As for the rest…
Although he is the son of the Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi was also a ninja before that.
As long as it's work (task), he will definitely find a way to complete it, right?
While Ugetsu was busy inspecting, Minato Namikaze, who was working in his office, also welcomed two unexpected guests.
Looking at the two people who walked in behind Uchiha Shisui, the blond young man stood up in surprise to greet them:
"Why are you two here?"!
