Xia Zhi finally worked until three o'clock. The nonsense he said before about changing shifts with him when others came was really just a lie. He came back, but he didn't change shifts with Xia Zhi. Although Xia Zhi didn't mind very much, after all
I don't have anything else to do.
In fact, by about 2:30 in the afternoon, there were not so many people anymore. Three people could take care of it. Xia Zhi even felt that he could barely take care of it by himself. The coffee shop was relatively leisurely.
That type of store, probably.
We worked until about 2:30, and then took a "rest" for half an hour. Shanxiang and other talents who were originally caught as young men but were squeezed out of their jobs by Xia Zhi arrived late. I don't know why they were there.
He also brought a stack of paper with him.
"Yo! We're back."
"Hey, you are so big! Do you know how tired you are this afternoon? You are still so lazy."
"It's really rude. We are not lazy. It took just a few of us more than two hours to investigate the entire school project. We are not any easier than you."
Long Shi crossed his arms: "Why are you going to investigate that thing?"
"It's not the sales competition that happens every year. There are a lot of messy things like foot traffic and turnover, but if you win, you can get rewards, and you can't treat it as if it doesn't exist. It's just that we didn't have anything like this last year, so
You probably don’t even remember it.”
"Is there such a thing in our school?" Long Shi looked at the three people present in confusion. In addition to Xia Zhi, who shook his head, Qingfeng also shook his head like Xia Zhi, saying that he didn't know. Only Tiantong supported him.
"It seems like there is such a thing. Last year, because the event was too dismal, I didn't pay much attention to it, but I did mention it once during the evening festival."
"What is the Houye Festival?" Xia Zhi fully understood the importance of asking if you don't understand and put it into practice.
"It's just what we students call it privately, because it's not evening at all. The school festival will gather around the time after school in the afternoon to announce the end of an activity. Then if they feel like they had fun, the whole class will go to have a dinner together.
It's not so much a necessary process as it is an additional product of students' behavior." Long Shi explained to Xia Zhi.
"In other words, it's a celebration party."
"It's a little different, because some classes whose activities are relatively bleak will also have a dinner as the end of the school festival, which is still different from the celebration banquet."
"You mean you just want to play together?"
"...If you want to understand it this way, it seems right."
So in the final analysis, the school festival is the biggest excuse. These people just try their best to have fun.
"I already understand the nature of this Houye Festival. You continue." Xia Zhi nodded.
"What did you just say? Oh, that sales competition, why are you investigating this? It's not like surveys alone can increase sales."
"No, no, no." Shanxiang shook his finger: "You underestimate this mission too much. If the investigation is done properly, we can get a lot of important information in advance, such as... what level can we get?
award."
"What other good things can the school reward?" Long Shi was a little dismissive: "I will give you a set of test papers as a prize to help you improve your academic performance?"
"What kind of vicious reward is this? Are you a devil?" Shanxiang complained.
"It's not like there are no such rewards. Right, Xia Zhi?"
"Why are you asking me... Although things like this do happen sometimes, our school is not that crazy. At most, it just gives out some cheap notebooks as prizes to encourage you to study in disguise."
"Compared to you, I am so happy. Thank you for letting me understand how happy I am." Shanxiang's sincere thanks made Xia Zhi want to punch someone.
"But let's talk about it first, our school's rewards are very useful. Generally speaking, schools that organize better activities will give rewards. This reward is actually a direct financial reward. The first place will be given a percentage of the turnover.
Twenty, the financial reward of up to 20,000 yen will be filled in the class fee as a prize for the first place, and the turnover does not need to be filled in the class fee, it is at the discretion of the students. This is a big meal! Even so
It’s not that big if you divide it among multiple people.”
"It seems interesting...so what did you find out through your investigation?"
"Although the passenger flow is less than that of performance projects, but in terms of turnover... we should be in an invincible position." Shanxiang put the white paper in his hand on the counter: "Originally, I was still invincible.
I was thinking about splitting up people to count the number of customers in other stores, but I didn’t expect that most places were not even half occupied, which is incomparable to our class!”
"This means that we can already start thinking about where to eat tomorrow night?" Qingfeng raised his hand and asked.
Shanxiang nodded: "As for this matter, I'll leave it to Xia Zhi."
???
Xia Zhi looked at him doubtfully: "Why should you leave it to me? The total number of times I have gone to restaurants and other places since coming to Japan is less than ten times. No matter how you think about it, it is not my turn."
"It's a coincidence that few of us know where the better stores are, but..." Shanxiang's eyes flickered: "But that doesn't mean the girls don't know."
???
"What do you mean?"
Xia Zhi became vigilant. A lot of things happened today, and Xia Zhi's vigilance had risen to a very high level. He realized that there seemed to be some conspiracy here.
"As for Xia Zhi, is your relationship with girls better?"
"I feel like you have some misunderstanding about me."
"No, no. I just want you to help me and ask if there are any good stores that I can recommend. It's very simple and no trouble at all."
"Then why do you have to let me go? Wouldn't Dragon Stone be more suitable?"
"Yes, if I ask Wu directly..."
"Tiger Tiger." Shanxiang said in a low voice.
Ryuushi was shocked when he heard the unclear meaning of what Sugang said.
"That's right, Xia Zhi, don't refuse and go quickly."
Xia Zhi was sure that what he wanted to say before was definitely not what he said now. Xia Zhi observed him carefully, and his expression became very strange, with sympathy and empathy, and emotions like this were all over his face.
Then Xia Zhi discovered that the other people present, whether it was Qingfeng Tendo or the other two boys, most of them had the same emotions as Long Shi.
Shango walked to Ryusei's side, with an expression that seemed to have suffered a lot of vicissitudes of life solidified on his face, and patted Ryusei's shoulder, saying nothing.
"What the hell……"
Xia Zhi was probably the only person present who had no idea what they were talking about. He only knew one thing, that these souls were connected together for some unknown reason and were ready to persecute him, an outsider.
"Can I not go?"
"Of course, no. You are the hope of all of us now, and you must succeed."
"What the hell..." Xia Zhizhen wanted to pry open their brains with a crowbar to see what was inside. But now, let's forget it. Murder is illegal. When will we wait?
Since killing people is not illegal, Xia Zhi will definitely give them a crowbar combo package.
"Go, go, go, we are waiting for your good news here." Long Shi grabbed Xia Zhi's shoulders and pushed him out of the classroom. Xia Zhi himself is not very tall, and he seems to be the strongest among the people in this circle.
Shi Shanglai pressed Xia Zhi's shoulders and controlled him to walk out of the counter, and then walked out through the back door.
"See you later." Then he closed the door.
Hearing the faint voices of "Thank you for your hard work" and "Thank you for your hard work" coming from the other side of the door, Xia Zhi was speechless.
They have all been kicked out, and Xia Zhi can only go to the home economics classroom to take a look.
After walking a few steps, Xia Zhi met Wu He and Wu who were walking back and forth delivering snacks.
"Xia Zhi? Why don't you stay in the classroom?"
"I've been kicked out. Now I'm going to go to your place to discuss something."
"That's it. Then wait for us and let's go there together."
"Fine."
The two of them walked past Xia Zhi quickly, and then walked into the classroom. Xia Zhi originally thought they would walk out within ten seconds, but unexpectedly it took a lot longer than she expected, but
Xia Zhi didn't have the ability to tell time clearly, so he just assumed it was his own illusion.
After all, time passes very slowly when you care about it. But it becomes very fast when you don’t care about it. Sometimes, you just click a few times
The next round, the day passed like this, and it was very painful.
"Long wait." The two girls came out. Xia Zhi shook his head. If you can nod at this time, then you can be regarded as an out-and-out talent.
"Let's go."
The two girls walked in front, and Xia Zhi walked behind them.
"By the way, Xia Zhi, I forgot to ask you before, how was your time with Lihua today?"
"How's it going? This question is too vague... I'm quite happy. I don't know what Shiraishi thinks."
You're probably quite happy, right? But Xia Zhi can't say for sure about this kind of thing. After all, it's hard to guess a girl's thoughts.
"Lihua is also very happy. She has been very motivated since noon. She is not tired even though she has done the work of three or four people by herself. She can't stop her." Wuhe bit his finger: "I don't know where it came from.
strength."
"Yes, just like a girl in love." Wu said this "accidentally" next to her.
Xia Zhi rolled his eyes. They are still hinting at this, and I have to say that the level of this hint is really not good. At the very least, he has to think about it again and again before he can realize what they are hinting at.
Even Wuhe stared at his friend next to him, who had no skills at all, with big eyes.
Xia Zhi didn't follow them either, otherwise he would be easily led into their rhythm. He just watched their performance quietly.
Probably because the dance chat ended, the two girls no longer said anything strange, but only said one or two occasionally. Soon they walked to the home economics classroom again, opened the door, and the three of them walked in.
"Lihua, I brought you a souvenir."
Xia Zhi had never seen big winds and waves. A small thing of this level only made him shake a little, without any substantial impact.
Shiraishi Rika turned her head back in confusion. When she saw Xia Zhi, her hands shook and she almost threw the whole plate of freshly made snacks on the ground.
I am much better than Lihua, Xia Zhi had this thought for no reason.
"Why are Xia Zhijun here?" Shiraishi Lihua put the plate with snacks on the dining table. It was the other girls' job to store and package them.
"I heard that you work so hard, Rika, so I came here to see you." As one of the other girls, Ryoko Yamamoto not only did not work well, but was also making trouble, because this sentence attracted the attention of Shiraishi Rika.
However, he was glared at by the other party: "Liangzi, if you keep eating secretly, I won't let you stay here."
"Uh..." Ryoko Yamamoto paused and retracted his hand that was about to get the second snack: "Don't worry about my affairs for now. By the way, Xia Zhi, why are you here? You don't really just come to see Lihua.
Right?"
This was not an easy thing to say. Xia Zhi thought about it and decided to get to the topic directly.
"Sugigo and the others said that our class might win a prize or something during the school festival, so they asked me to come over and ask if there are any recommended shops to celebrate."
"Award? Is it the one counted by the student union?"
"That's right. If the turnover is high, class fees will be given. Didn't they last year? But the class that won the award last year was the class of the seniors who have now graduated, right?"
Watching the girls discussing, Xia Zhi was thinking about something else. Originally, he had some suspicions that this group of people might have made up the content to deceive him, but now it seems that there is a 70-80% chance that it is true.
Yes.
These foreign students are all wolves. Whether they will do such outrageous things is no longer something Xia Zhi needs to consider. What he needs to consider is how crazy they will be next.
In this class, apart from Rika Shiraishi, who is kept in the dark like him most of the time, he probably has no companions anymore.
"Can we get the prize?"
"That's what Shanxiang and others said." Xia Zhi spread his hands.
"In that case, let's think about where to celebrate tomorrow." Nagahara Aiko looked at everyone: "After all, I am really busy this time, maybe I can actually get the award. Thanks to Lihua.
."
"No, it didn't help much." Shiraishi Lihua continued modestly.
"That's right, thanks to my wife!" Ryoko Yamamoto was not polite at all.
"But, is it too early to consider it now? What if I don't get selected?" Wuhe expressed his worries.
"You didn't choose?" Nagahara Aiko nodded: "That's right. Everything is risky. If you don't choose, just kill all the boys who went to investigate and were lazy."
"agree."
"agree."
"agree."
Xia Zhi found that he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.
