Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 248 Girl's Flower Arrangement (Part 7)
It seems that the boss values them a lot, but this is not necessarily a good thing. This is just like when you were a student and were suddenly called by the principal, either you had done something bad enough for the principal to intervene, or there was some grand event that required you to attend. The former was a death sentence, while the latter was a great responsibility.
Chu Zihang and Caesar looked at each other and reached a consensus that the newcomers had bad intentions, even though they were the ones who came.
The chair rotated, and the real boss finally revealed his true face. It was actually a girl with long, clean hair and a face as smooth and delicate as jade. Normally, the person who controls such a gigolo club must be rich or noble, and he must be a big boss, but this girl looked very forest-like, just wearing a retro beige shirt, a high-waisted long skirt, and a white lily on her chest, giving her a sense of the countryside.
The trio looked at each other in bewilderment. This was far beyond everyone's expectations. If it was a strong woman with a fierce look in her eyes, it would seem normal. But for someone like this, they would just think that maybe the way they opened the door was wrong.
The real female boss snapped her fingers and said, "Humpback Whale, take the boys to the interview. I'll meet the only girl."
A secret door next to it opened, and a separate study could be vaguely seen. Humpback Whale made a gesture of invitation with a white tablecloth, and Chu Zihang and Caesar had no choice but to follow. Before leaving, he gave Lu Mingfei an encouraging look.
Men treat men, women treat women, it's fair. The only problem is that the female boss has a smile on her face and doesn't look serious at all. She doesn't look like a big shot who is going to be interviewed. Lu Mingfei just feels uneasy and doesn't know what to do.
"Come, sit down!" The proprietress pointed to the single chair in front of her, and she spoke in Chinese.
Lu Mingfei was as careful and dignified as a lady in every move she made. When a woman wanted to find fault with another woman, there was no need to use any logic at all. The boss lady held the power of life and death over her, so she had to do her best to deal with it. The first interview in her life was very stressful.
"You know, our Takamagahara is the leading host club in Shinjuku. Every host working here has his own nickname and thousands of loyal fans. I think BasaraKing and Ukyo Tachibana are both good names. BasaraKing is very suitable for someone like him, and Ukyo will also remind people of the lonely Bushido." The proprietress looked comfortable and not at all pretentious. She sat in the office chair and turned left and right easily, as if she was chatting with a good friend. "So, have you thought of a nickname for yourself?"
Lu Mingfei blinked and thought quickly. She had never had any formal interview experience in her life. This question seemed simple but it was full of hidden dangers. Was it probably a test of whether she was prepared? After all, it was probably the first time for Gao Tianyuan to work in a gigolo club. The boss deliberately left her alone, which showed that she cared a lot.
"Sakura." Lu Mingfei said, "My nickname is Sakura."
"Sakura?" The proprietress smiled slightly, "What's the reason?"
"Cherry blossoms are beautiful, but they don't bloom for long. I think this is like my own life. I am still young in the eyes of most people, but I have done many things that I regret. If possible, I hope that the rest of my life can bloom like cherry blossoms. And... Whether in Chinese or Japanese, the pronunciation of "Sakura" sounds good. I am a liberal arts student and I like the charm of the language itself, and pronunciation is one of them."
"That's good. It shows that you are at least prepared. I thought you would refuse if I forced you to work in the store," said the lady boss.
"Wouldn't it be deceiving the guests if I were to stay?" Lu Mingfei raised the question in her mind.
"The girls who come here are just looking for fun. Some of them have experienced domestic violence, some think their love life is on the verge of collapse, and some simply cheat on their partners on purpose. Japan is such a country. Although both parties in the marriage are unhappy, they still insist on not getting divorced easily, and even condone cheating. They only ask that when they go home, they can still sit at the same table to eat and someone can do the housework." The proprietress said lightly, "For them, happiness is the most important thing. They seek psychological comfort. As for whether the person who makes her happy is a real gigolo, it doesn't really matter."
"A marriage in name only... I understand that working here means I am actually playing the role of a listener."
"Yes."
"I've had some similar experiences before, and I've been a confidant to many people, so I shouldn't have any problems in this regard."
"But I think you look more like your sister, both in figure and appearance." The proprietress raised her eyebrows.
Lu Mingfei had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest and couldn't spit it out. The proprietress really knew how to kill people without shedding blood. This attack almost broke Lu Mingfei's knee, which was originally eager to try.
"This... is actually my advantage. Being too tall... will give customers psychological pressure..." Lu Mingfei forced herself to continue. At this moment, she very much suspected that the proprietress had a problem with her. It felt very strange. It didn't seem like the proprietress was here for an interview. Instead, it seemed like she was here to tease her on purpose.
"So what you mean is that you plan to go for a younger style? To be honest, I've always felt that the gigolos in the shop are too good-looking, and lack the kind of person who can directly win the hearts of customers. I wanted to try to find some shotas a long time ago, but it's illegal to employ child labor." The proprietress looked Lu Mingfei up and down, "I think you're okay, try to act coquettishly in front of me?"
"…Which style do you want?"
"What's the meaning?"
"There are many kinds of shotas, there are simple ones, there are ignorant ones, there are evil ones, there are mature ones, there are servile ones, everyone has different tastes, I can also play any style, it just depends on your needs." Lu Mingfei smiled and tried to make herself a first-class talent. She didn't lie. As an old second-dimensional shota, what style of shota has she not seen? As long as the boss lady randomly mentioned one, she could match it with a second-dimensional task in her mind, and just imitate his emphasis, and she would definitely get it right!
"Understanding the customer's psychology is also one of the skills of the store clerk. You can't expect every customer to tell you their preferences." The proprietress leaned back in her chair and circled her fingers towards Lu Mingfei, "Guess what style I like?"
It seems that the boss lady is also a casual girl, otherwise she would not have invested in a gigolo parlor. It is like having beautiful boys to form her harem. Such a greedy guy must use money to control her harem all day long, and any man can be easily captured, right? No man will refuse a beautiful girl .
Then the answer is simple.
Lu Mingfei suddenly pressed down on the desk with one hand, turned over with her long skirt fluttering, and sat in front of the boss's wife. Before the boss's wife could react, she stretched out her arm, grabbed the boss's wife's wrist, pulled her in front of her, hugged her, and gently pinched her chin with her fingertips.
"Don't leave tonight, stay with me."
There was a hint of frivolity in her smile and a bit of dominance in the slightly forceful hand. In this posture, she was in the upper hand and looked down upon others. She looked like a rich second-generation rich woman as she lowered her head to tease them. There was no doubt that the proprietress could not escape her control. If she dared to struggle, she would most likely be greeted with a violent and passionate kiss. If it was more intense, she might be pushed down on the desk.
The lady boss stared at Lu Mingfei blankly, her heart surging. Lu Mingfei certainly didn't mean that, but in her eyes, it was like that. She had been thinking about this scene for a long time. As a beautiful girl from a small family, Su Enxi's biggest dream was to be pushed down by a domineering CEO. No matter how she complained or struggled, she was firmly controlled by that damn man. She could only surrender with tears in her eyes...
I didn't expect that someone would copy her today! And the target was her new employee! It was so scary DOKIDOKI!
"Did I get it right? Hmm?" Lu Mingfei had already gotten into the role. It was all because she had played too much COSPLAY in the fan club, which made her so immersed in the role that every word she said "hmm" was full of mockery, as if the woman in her arms was already her plaything.
"Oh right..." Su Enxi's answer was weak and insignificant. The information she had obtained mentioned that Lu Mingfei had the attributes of the Queen of Ten Thousand Females. At that time, Su Enxi sneered and said that the person who wrote this sentence must have watched too much ACG! But now her heart was beating wildly. If Lu Mingfei was a tall and handsome man, this move would directly win over the romance otaku Su Enxi, and he would be able to eat a mountain of gold for the rest of his life.
At this moment, the secret door made a slight sound. The moment the door handle turned a circle, Lu Mingfei quickly flipped back from the table and sat upright in her interviewer's chair, looking like a serious and good student.
Humpback Whale stood next to Su Enxi and whispered to her. Caesar and Chu Zihang were on both sides of Lu Mingfei. Judging from their expressions, the result was obviously good. Lu Mingfei also secretly gave them a thumbs up to show the situation on her side.
"It seems that all of you are rare talents." Su Enxi clapped her hands gently, "Congratulations, you all passed our interview. From today on, you are a member of the Takamagahara family. Use your flower arrangement to lead the girls to a prosperous and blooming paradise. This is the meaning of your existence! Of course, Sakura still needs to get enough flower tickets, but I believe this is not a problem for you at all!"
Su Enxi snapped her fingers, and Humpback Whale took out a bottle of champagne from the wine cabinet and opened it. The golden wine rippled in the chilled high-heeled glass, and each newlywed received a glass, which was a blessing for them.
Normally, as the boss, Su Enxi should raise her glass to congratulate, but she refused the glass of champagne that Humpback Whale pushed to her. She just watched quietly as the three new gigolos clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
The newlyweds left with happiness in their hearts, and the door that symbolized the sea closed. Su Enxi's carefully disguised momentum disappeared like a ball. She curled up lazily in the chair, took a glass of orange juice with potato chips from the tray brought by the humpback whale and put it into her mouth.
"Listen, I will pay for all their expenses in Takamagahara. Protect them well and don't reveal their names to anyone. Just provide normal accommodation and enough food. Don't be too nice to them and make them feel that someone is protecting them." Su Enxi said.
"I understand, but honestly speaking, if you really want to be the one behind the scenes, you shouldn't show up in person. That way they've seen you, and if something happens it's easy for them to blame you," said the humpback whale.
"Of course I know, but I have to see our lovely little Sakura. This is a rare opportunity. Maybe I will never see her again in the future." Su Enxi waved her hand, "Go ahead and do as I say."
Humpback Whale bowed deeply and left the territory that once belonged to him. He sat down in the emergency corridor of the secret door, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy for a moment.
He was the owner of this nightclub a few days ago, but now he has become a store manager who helps others look after the store because he has gone bankrupt.
Takamagahara is the leading male escort club in Shinjuku District. It charges high fees, but its expenses are also very large. This four-story building is a government-protected ancient building. It was once a Catholic church built by the French in Tokyo before World War II. The annual rent is astronomical, not to mention that the luxurious utensils in the shop are all top-notch.
Humpback Whale is not a good store manager. He does not know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. In his opinion, his customers are all the top socialites in Tokyo, and a palace-level venue is necessary to match them. Takamagahara, which has been maintained in this way, has indeed become the top brand in Shinjuku, and is also favored by many socialites, but behind this is the growing fiscal deficit. Bankruptcy is not unexpected. Debt collectors have come several times, and it was only because of the national sumo wrestlers that no major incidents occurred.
Things took a turn for the better a few days ago. On a sunny afternoon, Su Enxi came to his desk in high heels and handed him a check without a number filled in. "I know you are bankrupt. Now I give you a chance. Fill in a number on it. If I am satisfied with the number, I will buy your nightclub."
The humpback whale has never heard of such a way of trading. It tells you with murderous intent and without any concealment that you are a lamb to be slaughtered, but you cannot refuse.
The Takama-ga-hara nightclub was handed over smoothly. At Su Enxi's request, Humpback Whale was still the manager of Takama-ga-hara on the surface, and she moved into the top floor of Takama-ga-hara to take control of the overall situation.
The first thing Su Enxi did after taking control of Takamagahara was to arrange 30 advertising vehicles and have all the store employees wait at the intersections in Shinjuku. These advertising vehicles blocked every road leading into Shinjuku and distributed discount coupons. Caesar would encounter them no matter where he went. This was no less than the search net set up by the Snake Eight Families. Caesar thought he was just lucky, but he never thought that this matter was controlled by someone from beginning to end.
