Chapter 142: Tootsuki Group
Yuri went to school after the cafe opened.
Hiratsuka helped him to manage the customer who came to his cafe. She didn"t do much since a machine worked at this place mostly. She thought that his product was really nice and there was a machine that he had built that helped him. She looked at him and said, "You can open a branch store in another place."
"I don"t have that much energy to manage a lot of places but if you want to help me then I don"t mind," Haru said.
Hiratsuka shook her head, "No, I"m a teacher, not a businessman."
"Then, teacher, why are you here?" Haru asked since this woman suddenly came to his apartment in the middle of the night. He wasn"t sure whether he should be grateful or annoyed by her.
"There is still a legal thing that I need to finish," Hiratsuka said while helping him.
"Hmm, are you going to live with us?" Haru asked. He felt that it was better for her to live with both of them since she was helpful to stop him.
Hiratsuka shook her head, "I have bought a house near the school."
"You"ve bought a house?" Haru looked at him with a strange expression. He knew that she was a teacher but he wasn"t sure about her salary.
"This is my friend"s house, I bought it quite cheap," Hiratsuka looked quite proud.
"I will help you when you move up," Haru said.
"Alright," Hiratsuka nodded.
Both of them continued to work for a while until it was time for them to close.
Haru wanted to close it but there was a group of people who were wearing black suits entering his cafe, "Is there something that I can help?"
"h.e.l.lo, I"m the representative of Tootsuki Group," the woman said to him in a gentle manner, "Can I meet the owner?"
Haru felt weird about why this giant food industry was suddenly coming to his small cafe. He looked at her and said, "I"m the owner."
The woman didn"t expect that the owner of this cafe was really young. She had tried the bread in this place several times and it was bliss that she could buy it with a quite cheap price with such a delicious taste. Her only regret was that there wasn"t enough bread and there were a lot of people who bought it made it sometimes hard to buy it. She didn"t expect that it was this young man who owned this place.
Haru looked at this woman who didn"t say anything for a while, "How about we sit there first while talking over a cup of coffee?"
"Ah, thank you," the woman nodded and followed him.
"Haru, who is that?" Hiratsuka was a bit surprised to see a group of people wearing black suits.
"It"s people from the Tootsuki Group," Haru answered, and prepared coffee for both of them.
Hiratsuka was slightly surprised but didn"t say anything again.
Haru took a coffee to the table and sat in front of her, "Please enjoy the coffee first."
The woman nodded and sniffed the coffee slowly. Her face became slightly red and drank it with slowly, "It"s very smooth." She suddenly felt that she was staying in the house in the countryside while there was a lot of snow outside but her body was warm and she held her hand tightly with her loved one in that place. Her face flushed and she enjoyed this coffee very much. She looked at him with amazement and said, "This is amazing."
"Thank you," Haru nodded with a smile.
The woman smiled and said, "I"m sorry for coming suddenly there is some matter that I want to talk with you, as you know that our school, Tootsuki Culinary Academy is the best school in this country."
Haru felt that this world was quite messed up but he didn"t care about that.
"Now that your bakery is very famous in this area, we want to ask you to cooperate with us to let our student become an intern in your bakery," the woman said.
"Internship?" Haru thought that it was quite interesting.
The woman nodded, "Yes, a student from our school will come to your bakery and work here for the past week in this place." She looked at him and said, "If you accept our cooperation, we can help you to promote your place on our website."
Haru didn"t really care about the promotion on their website but he was quite interested in this internship. He was curious about the student from Tootsuki Culinary Academy and it wasn"t bad to make a relationship with this giant food industry, "Sure, but I have one request."
"Thank you very much, and what is that request?" The woman said.
"I don"t want a male in my kitchen," Haru answered.
"....."
The woman and Hiratsuka were speechless.
"Hmm, can I know why?" The woman asked.
"Originally, this place is a maid cafe, I"m also planning to make this a maid cafe and it is very strange for a guy to suddenly wear a maid uniform in this place," Haru said.
"...."
They couldn"t refute his words when he said that statement.
The woman didn"t really mind his request. She nodded, "Alright, I can help with that request, oh, that"s right." She took something from her bag and gave it to him.
Haru looked at the envelope in his hand.
"This is an invitation from the chairman, please contact me when you have free time," the woman said and said goodbye to both of them.
Hiratsuka looked at him and asked, "Are you really not going to the Tootsuki Academy?" She felt that with his skill he could become a successful chef in the future.
Haru thought for a while and said, "Let"s talk about that later, I"m more interested in this invitation." He opened the envelope and started to read it.
